Zhao Kuo, who was sitting on the main seat, was both pleased and excited. The two months of hard work on the edge of life and death have not been in vain, the soldiers have a steelyard in their hearts!
"The consumption of soldiers will be relatively high in the past few days. Inform the gang leader to find a way to get some meat to reward the army." Zhao Kuo looked at the sweating soldiers in the field, turned his head and whispered to the messenger on the side: " If it is not enough, you can apply to General Lian Po to arrange for some troops to hunt some prey in the mountains."
"Yes." The messenger hurriedly promised.
"General." Zhao Kuo's order was apparently heard by Lian Po, who then suggested to Zhao Kuo: "General, why don't you put the selection of the three thousand cavalry in the forest?" Let's win based on the quantity and quality of prey. This way, it is closer to actual combat and it also solves the meat problem of the army in recent days."
Hearing this, Zhao Kuo also felt that it made sense, and immediately said: "Okay, but the number of people still needs to be controlled a little, otherwise, all the prey in the forest will be eaten up, and the hunters in this area will have a hard time."
"Yes." Lian Po nodded quickly and agreed, "I asked my soldiers to bring some food and fodder. If they encounter hunters in the mountains, I will give them some food and fodder as compensation."
Since Lian Po had already made a plan, Zhao Kuo naturally nodded in agreement.
Immediately, Zhao Kuo turned his attention to the lively martial arts field.
At this moment, a surprising voice came from behind Zhao Kuo: "General!"
When Zhao Kuo heard this, he turned his head and saw a burly man standing behind him blankly, with his hands clasped in his fists and looking at him happily.
"Wei!" Zhao Kuo also stood up happily, turned around, grabbed the person's strong arms with both hands, and punched the person's chest hard - it hurt and was hard!
The visitor was Zhao Wei, the fierce general who was arranged by Zhao Kuo to lead the defense line at Guanglang City and Kongcang. This battle also brought Zhao Kuo a surprise. His outstanding performance in the Battle of the Barrier allowed Zhao Kuo to directly promote him and give him the surname Zhao. In the subsequent battles, Zhao Wei repeatedly appeared by Zhao Kuo's side and saved Zhao Kuo countless times. Even when Zhao Kuo was hit by an arrow, Zhao Wei was the first to rush to Zhao Kuo's side.
Of course, the reason why Zhao Kuo values Zhao Wei so much is not only because of his bravery, but also because he is indeed a talent that can be made. Just like Zhao Wei's food distribution in Guanglang City, he severely harvested the hearts and minds of Shangdang people, which was very suitable for Zhao Kuo's appetite. And being able to manage Light Wolf City in an orderly manner also fully demonstrates Zhao Wei's ability to act alone.
What Zhao Kuo lacks now is loyal and capable people. Therefore, after Zhao Kuo confirmed that the Qin army had withdrawn from Shangdang, he immediately ordered Zhao Wei to come to Jiepailing to fight with him.
I didn’t expect Zhao Wei to come so quickly!
"I've seen the general!" Zhao Wei smiled and bowed again.
"Okay! Just come." Zhao Kuo nodded again. Zhao Wei's arrival also indicated that Zhao Kuo could finally continue the layout of his other chess game.
After saying hello to General Lian Po on the side, Zhao Kuo took Zhao Wei and left the martial arts field.
It's not that Zhao Kuo doesn't want to get to know his army better, it's that time is running out.
"Why did you come so fast?" Zhao Kuo asked as he led King Zhao Wei outside the martial arts arena, "Did you travel overnight?"
Zhao Wei scratched his head in embarrassment, but did not answer Zhao Kuo's question.
Of course, Zhao Kuo had no intention of pursuing Zhao Wei, and immediately continued to ask: "Do you still have energy?"
"Of course there is." Zhao Wei replied immediately.
"That's good." Zhao Kuo smiled and nodded, and then ordered the soldiers around him: "Prepare your horses and fight for days. I haven't really had a good look at this place of Shangdang!"
That's right, Zhao Kuo plans to take a nice stroll around Shangdang.
Naturally, Zhao Kuo did not want to travel around the ancient mountains and rivers. Even if he wanted to travel around, he would not do it now when time is so tight.
But unfortunately, Zhao Kuo did just that.
With dozens of soldiers and Zhao Wei, they quietly left Jiepailing and galloped to their heart's content in Shangdang's territory.
Autumn has quietly arrived, but the sun seems not to be accurate
The flowers were placed across the earth and hung high in the sky, spreading a lot of warmth. Although the autumn wind blew from time to time, the temperature was still uncomfortable. Only a touch of yellow between the branches of the trees heralded autumn. The arrival of the day.
A burst of horse hooves whizzed past, whipping up the rustling autumn wind, and countless autumn leaves also withered in the wind...
On the winding mountain road, a team of fast horses in red clothes passed by suddenly. Zhao Wei was also a little confused. He had been running for several hours, but he still didn't know where the general was taking him.
Finally, after climbing over one mountain after another, we finally saw a town ahead.
It is said to be a town, but it is actually slightly larger than a village. Even compared to a large village, it only has one more city wall, and the city wall is only one person tall, and even a war horse can jump over it by accelerating - Obviously, this is an insignificant town that is not even on the map.
With almost a glance, Zhao Wei could conclude that this town had no military value at all, otherwise the thickness and height of the city wall should not be so perfunctory. According to Zhao Wei's estimation, a lot of people naturally gathered here just because there was a winding river flowing through it.
However, Zhao Kuo's behavior surprised Zhao Wei.
Zhao Kuo, who was riding a big horse at the front, was heading towards this nameless town. This forced Zhao Wei to re-examine this unknown town. Why did the generals of the three armies trek to this nameless town?
Good scenery?
Zhao Wei looked at the lush mountains and forests around him, and they seemed to be no different from anywhere else.
Just when Zhao Wei was puzzled, Zhao Kuo, who was leading the way, suddenly turned around less than 200 steps away from the town, walked around the town, and rushed into the mountains again.
It seemed like he was just passing by.
However, it doesn’t seem right. What are you doing in this mountain forest if you don’t take a good road? hunting?
After bypassing the small town, only a mile or two later, the group rushed into the mountains and forests again, and the road there was obviously much more difficult to walk, and there was almost no road left.
As a last resort, everyone could only slow down their horses and move forward slowly along the trail left by the hunter.
This made Zhao Wei even more confused.
However, Zhao Wei, who always believed in Zhao Kuo, did not ask. He knew that the general would naturally tell him when it was time for him to know.
Zhao Kuo was naturally very satisfied with Zhao Wei's character of not asking too many questions.
The group of people walked slowly through the dense mountain forest for half an hour, and finally came to the foot of a mountain, or should be a valley, a large valley that can accommodate thousands of people...
