The setting sun is shining slantingly, and there is already a somber tranquility on the wild grassland. It is getting late and the sun is getting colder, which is when everything is silent.
But I heard bursts of rapid horse hoofbeats coming out of Sangqian City, trampling through the chilly and quiet grassland.
They were two cavalry teams galloping past. Although the two cavalry teams could not see each other, they were minding their own business and racing on the grassland.
But obviously, the cavalry in front are more experienced, just from
The silky smooth rotation of "Broken Wind Hand" can be seen in general. Naturally, the distance between the two teams gradually widened as time went by.
Yes, these two cavalry teams are the cavalry team led by General Chen Xun and the generals led by Pingyang Jun.
Yes, just after leaving Sangqian City, Pingyang Jun had already realized that Chen Xun and Sun Gu were very likely to report the news to Zhao Kuo. If he arrived late and asked Zhao Kuo to break camp in advance, he would be in vain.
Therefore, only half a mile after leaving the city, Lord Pingyang had already put on his war horse. It's just less than a quarter of an hour, which is enough for Chen Xun's troops to bypass Dongcheng and even reach the front of Pingyang Jun.
As a prince of the royal family, although Pingyuan Jun's riding and shooting is not a problem, it is still incomparable with the warriors fighting for their lives on horseback. Naturally, Pingyang Jun became the team that was gradually left behind.
It's a pity that Zhao Kuo's place is not the end of the world, and no matter how far away he is, there will be a limit.
Unknowingly, the sun gradually sank into the mountains, and the bright moonlight replaced the sun shining on the earth. Although it was already dark, the two cavalry teams did not stop at all, and they were all working hard to make a quick penetration.
Under the moonlight, the final destination of the two cavalry teams - the Zhao army camp, has been lit with lights. The army that went out to chase the north has returned. One or two big men are standing next to the fire under the moonlight, While biting into the sizzling and oily roasted lamb leg, he chatted wantonly and showed off today's achievements.
The tears that had been shed, the injuries that had been suffered, and the hatred in my heart were all put aside a little at this moment, because in the camp not far away, there were still rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.
The center of the camp, which should have been the brightest place with the brightest lights, was now as quiet as a waning drum.
Even the patrol team deliberately walked slowly as they passed by, for fear of making any noise and disturbing the tent in the center.
Inside the Chinese army's tent, heavy curtains completely cut off the cold air outside. In the center of the tent, a weak fire burned slowly, bringing more warmth to the tent. A wisp of moonlight filtered through the hole above the tent. It slowly sprinkled on the ground, adding a sense of tranquility to the warm tent.
Behind a screen, Zhao Kuo was lying on the bed wantonly. After traveling through time, Zhao Kuo had not slept from day to night for a long time.
I can’t help it, I’m just too tired! After almost three days and three nights of sleepless nights, Zhao Kuo's body was already overstretched.
And after sleeping this night, there are still more severe tests waiting for him, including King Youxian, Yan Jun, and the most troublesome Zhao Guochaotang, as well as King Zhao... However, that is in the future. Okay, now, Zhao Kuo is chatting with the fairy sister in his sleep!
The general's hard work was naturally noticed by all the soldiers, and this was the scene where even the patrolling soldiers acted lightly.
Unfortunately, plans always fail to keep up with changes. From the time Zhao Kuo put down all military affairs and went to sleep until now, it only lasted more than three hours.
A burst of rapid horse hoofbeats was about to break Zhao Kuo's sweet dream.
"Stop whoever comes!" The Zhao pawn standing beside the horse outside the camp raised his spear and pointed at the cavalry in front of him. If he hadn't seen it from afar, it was his own red military uniform, and he was wearing a spear.
The flag with the word "Zhao" may have sounded the clarion call for the enemy to attack. But even if there is no doubt that the person coming is one of his own, Zhao Zu still checks according to the rules.
"It's me!" A loud voice came from the center of the cavalry, and the cavalry immediately moved out of the way.
A familiar and majestic face instantly appeared in front of Zhao Zu. It was Chen Xun, the former general of the Dai army, old general Chen.
After several hours of running around, we finally arrived outside the camp ahead of Lord Pingyang.
"Passed by General Chen!" Zhao Zu looked at the man in front of him in surprise, then put away the spear in his hand, lowered his head slightly and said in greeting.
"I have something important to do, please see the general." Chen Xun nodded in response, then got off his horse and entered the camp to see Zhao Kuo.
Chen Xun still knew the rule of dismounting first when entering the camp. They are all Daichi soldiers, so Chen Xun will not make things difficult for his soldiers.
It's a pity that Chen Xun's understanding and understanding didn't seem to get good feedback. The Zhao soldier standing in front of him saw Chen Xun dismounting, but he remained motionless and had no intention of moving his horse away from General Chen Xun.
Just when Chen Xun was wondering, he saw the commander of the Zhao soldiers bowing slightly and saying: "General Chen, please wait a moment, and General Rong Mo will make a report." After saying this, he didn't care about Chen Xun who was stunned on the spot, and directly put the hand in his hand. He handed the spear to another Zhao soldier, turned around, let go of the girl and ran towards the camp.
Chen Xun, who was standing there at this scene, also had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know whether he should be happy because of the strict military discipline under his command, or whether he should be happy about the strict military discipline under his command.
"When people leave, the tea will cool down" and lamented. It should probably be the former! Seeing the hurriedly leaving figure of the chief minister, as well as the soldiers standing aside with no smile at all, Chen Xun believed that even if Lord Pingyang held the royal order silk book or even the tiger talisman, he would not even think of entering without reporting.
However, in just a few days, the general had already trained the army to such an extent, which made Chen Xun admire him.
You must know that although the Daidi Army is not as powerful as when it is in his own hands, it never has such strict discipline.
A small commander can shut out a major general. It is obviously not the personal courage of the commander, but the support of the strict military law behind it and the military law that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
With just such a small point, Zhao Kuo's status as a famous general has been clearly revealed. Not long after, General Chen Xun was still in shock, but he saw that the commander had rushed back, and with him was a young general with a strong figure and bright armor - the man who was now fully responsible for everything in the military camp. General Li Mu Li.
Chen Xun was slightly startled. Although he was not the senior general to welcome him in person, his age and qualifications were shown here. Even if the general came in person, there was nothing wrong with it. But it was such a young man who had just been promoted to captain. When the general came to greet him, he was a little rude and something that was beyond Chen Xun's surprise.
