Tuanchi was almost completely white, and Xiang An rode on Tuanchi, pacing on the road to Yan State.
Nine days have passed by now, and in one day we will reach the border of the Yan Kingdom. Xiang An, King of Yan Zang Tu, has sent Liao Ye to notify him in advance. He must have prepared food and grass, waiting for him to receive it.
Food and fodder for three thousand men and horses, if you give it, you will gain face, if you don't give it, you will become enemies. With such a small amount, Zang Tu is not stupid.
It's just that Zang Tu is a little bit curious as to why the General of Western Chu would want to take a lap of the Great Wall at this juncture.
"General, a little further ahead is Naoxian County. The guard there, Chu Dun, is ready to welcome us." Liao Ye rode back on a fast horse and reported to Xiang An with clasped fists.
Xiang An pulled the reins of the galloping horse, glanced back at the team, and thought for a moment: "You go again now and tell Chu Dun that there is no need to greet him. I am waiting to hurry on. I am just borrowing the road and leaving immediately." , don’t prepare to delay.”
"Yes, I will obey the order!"
After saying that, Liao Ye ran out. After following Xiang An for so many years, he has become much smarter. Now basically all the miscellaneous things on the battlefield, including the transmission of messages between several close generals, Xiang An has to deal with. Gave it to Liao Ye. Although he didn't have a high military position, everyone knew that Xiang An had a crony (dog legger) beside him.
"Second brother, how many days will it take to reach the Great Wall?" Zijuan urged Zaoji to walk a few steps quickly, walking alongside Tuanchi, and asked Xiang An while rubbing Zaoji's mane.
"We are now marching in three days and two days, and it still takes half a month to reach the Great Wall. This is already full speed." Xiang An's eyes were a little blurry, and he didn't know what he was thinking. "The area of Yan country is larger. After passing Sanqi, it will definitely take more time, and we have to ensure the condition of the soldiers. We can't be relaxed at all when dealing with those things, we must be in full spirit!"
"Forget it, when the time comes, let's try my spear skills." Zijuan smiled casually, very confident.
Xiang An smiled and didn't care. No matter what he said, he always knew the truth. However, he was not stupid enough to imagine that the three thousand troops he brought could return intact. That was nonsense.
Things have to be solved eventually.
"Speaking of the past two days, Second Brother, you really didn't give face to that boy Tian An." Zijuan thought of what happened two days ago and couldn't help but laugh. She smiled softly and pursed her dry lips.
Xiang An took off his kettle from Tuanchi's side, handed it to Zijuan, and snorted: "Let's be more urgent. Why do you care about him? Why don't you see him go out of the city to greet me when he ruins my reputation?" .”
Zijuan almost choked on the water and rolled her eyes: "Didn't you accept the boy's greeting? You just left without paying any attention to him."
"I'm telling him that the things he did can't be hidden, nor can the people behind him." Xiang An took back the kettle and took a sip, with a stern expression on his face. Zijuan froze on the spot.
Xiang An, however, continued to talk to himself, with a disdainful tone: "Besides, Tian An himself is the son of that bastard Tian Jia. I didn't kill him immediately at that time, so he ran fast. Now he has mixed up with the Qin army. Because of his military exploits, my eldest brother gave me the title of Prince of Lao Shi, and you want me to think highly of him?"
Zijuan opened her mouth and watched as Xiang An put the clean water bottle back into the package. She blinked a few times quickly and took a deep breath.
From here, you can already see the somewhat shabby city gate of Naoxian County. Xiang An didn't intend to take a rest, so he said hello to Chu Dun and moved on.
...
"Your Majesty, the General of Western Chu suddenly said that he wanted to use the road. Is there something...?"
Below Zang Tu, a minister said to Zang Tu with a sad face, his expression full of fear.
Liu Ji, the king of Han, just announced a few days ago that he was dissatisfied with the enfeoffment of Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu. Now he has rebelled in Shu. The specific information is that the distance between Yan and Han is quite far, but it is enough to cause panic.
"It doesn't matter." Zang Tu looked relaxed. He started with Chen Sheng and now sits in the position of King Yan. He has seen a lot of storms and waves. The scene in front of him really couldn't make him feel the waves. "The war started in the southwest. , what does it have to do with our Northeast Yan country, and the target of the General of Western Chu is obviously not us. Besides, what if the target is us? How many troops does he have? "
"I have 70,000 troops in Dayan. Are we afraid of his mere 3,000?"
"Since he said he wanted to borrow the road, let's borrow it. If he wants to buy some grain and grass, sell it to him. Once he reaches the Great Wall, it will be none of our business."
"This... okay..." The minister lowered his head angrily.
"Oh, by the way." Zang Tu patted the platform twice as if he suddenly remembered something, "Send someone to inform General Xi Chu that he is marching in a hurry and may not know about this matter. "
"......yes."
Zang Tu looked at the scouts walking out of the hall, touched his beard and smiled.
He really wants to see Zhongyuan fight now. The harder the fight, the better.
After he finishes dealing with Han Guang, King of Liaodong, maybe there will be a chance to reap the benefits?
So, light the fire a little bit.
...
Xiang An was also stroking his beard.
After bidding farewell to Ziying outside Xianyang City, Xiang An began to grow his beard.
In this era, all men grow beards. Xiang An is not too young yet. He will be twenty-five soon. It is already very late to grow a beard. Before, he would shave it off with his big beard.
Xiang An's beard has grown to a certain size now, and I have to say that it does look a lot more mature.
"Fourth uncle, how do I compare to eldest brother?" Xiang An, who was being repaired by a river and eating some food, looked at himself in the water and asked Xiang Lu.
"You don't have a fierce face, so don't compare with your elder brother. Although you look similar, you are not the same type at all." Xiang Lu smiled casually and patted Xiang An on the shoulder, "I see What have you been thinking about these two days, thinking about Sanqi?"
Xiang An hesitated slightly and smiled bitterly: "Yes, and no."
"Sanqi only has so many resources in total. What I care more about is the world and the Central Plains."
"There is a hole in the formation in the north this time, and I'm a little worried. The Central Plains is currently in a troubled state, and this kind of thing happens again outside the country. There is always something...not a good feeling."
"Don't think too much, just let nature take its course. Sometimes things have to happen in life." Xiang Lu saw Xiang An's strong biceps and said with relief, "Let's focus on things in the north now."
"Well, we are almost to the north now, and I have to talk to my fourth uncle about some things in advance." Xiang An nodded, glanced at the sky, and sighed, "Now that the weather is getting colder, if our soldiers die in If you go under the Great Wall, you may not be able to bring the body back..."
