Style: Historical Author: YanguanWords: 2301Update Time: 24/02/20 08:31:40
The junction of ancient Zhao and Wei.

Groups of soldiers and horses marched neatly towards the ancient Zhao Kingdom.

General Huwei of Wei State was riding on a tall horse and looking around.

"This is really strange. Didn't the ancient Zhao Kingdom say that it had been captured by the Daqian Kingdom?"

"Now they should be watching the border. Why can't we even see the shadow of the army here?"

Dongfang Yu was arranged by his side mainly because he was originally from the Daqian Kingdom and was familiar with the ancient Zhao Kingdom.

General Huwei took him with him in order to keep abreast of the situation in the ancient Zhao Kingdom.

Dongfang Yu also frowned at this time, looking at the border of the ancient Zhao Kingdom.

If he remembered correctly, there should be a small town nearby.

"General, we are going to the border town soon. Once we get there, we must capture that small town."

"Use that small town as our own stronghold, so that our retreat will not be cut off so easily."

Dongfeng Yu had just defected to the Wei State, so naturally he wanted to make achievements quickly.

General Huwei is a strong general, so he naturally knows this very well.

"Then please tell me more about the situation in that small town."

Dongfang Yu was immediately embarrassed.

He was from the Daqian Kingdom, and he only had a rough understanding of the ancient Zhao Kingdom.

How would he know if it was a small town on the border like this or a small town adjacent to other countries?

The reason why he knew there was such a small town was because he saw it on the way to escape.

General Huwei understood immediately when he saw that he had not spoken yet.

He did not continue to inquire, but sent scouts forward to investigate.

Soon the scouts left and returned.

"Report! General, there are no defenders in the small town ahead."

"The city is in chaos, and it seems like bandits are robbing."

The scout's mind is still in a state of confusion.

He had never seen a small border town like this.

If they had known that the border of ancient Zhao State was like this, their Wei State would have sent people over to fight.

General Huwei's brows immediately wrinkled.

"Could this be a conspiracy of the Daqian Kingdom?"

Don't blame him for thinking too much, no one would do that.

The ancient Zhao Kingdom can now be said to be the territory of the Qin Kingdom.

But now there is no one guarding the border city near their Wei State.

No matter how you look at it, it feels very wrong.

"Let's check again and ask the locals what's going on?"

Although General Huwei is very brave, he is also very good at fighting.

But he is also very cautious and never does anything rash.

After giving orders to the scouts, he even ordered the troops to stay where they were.

"General, would you like to lead your troops to take a look?"

Dongfang Yu thinks this is a pretty good opportunity.

He is now the general of the vanguard battalion, and being a vanguard is what he should do, but General Huwei has always kept him by his side.

He had no time or opportunity to contact the Pioneer Camp.

It doesn't matter if there is no war, there won't be any problems.

But once the war breaks out, he may not be able to command the vanguard battalion.

In the end, he was not just a soldier who could only charge into battle.

And the Pioneer Battalion would only accept orders from General Huwei, so wouldn't his visit be in vain?

General Huwei stared at Dongfang Yu for a long time, then waved his hand and asked him to lead the people there.

"Since the vanguard camp has been handed over to you, you will naturally go to play as the vanguard."

"This time, we are here to steal the treasure."

"But actually I came here for the ancient Zhao Kingdom."

"We all know the strength of the Daqian Kingdom. It is not easy for them to completely conquer the ancient Zhao Kingdom."

“It’s just the right time for us to get involved, so there are many opportunities to make contributions.”

"General Dongfang, please take it easy."

When Dongfang Yu heard this, he felt a little dissatisfied and felt that this old guy was not worthy of preaching to him at all.

He looked down on these generals of Wei from the bottom of his heart.

The people of Wei were originally very vulgar and reckless, and most of them were rude men.

Even though there are many literati, these are really nothing in Dongfang Yu's eyes.

Naturally, he didn't care about the military generals of Wei State. If possible, he really wanted to replace them.

But in order to be able to lead the troops in battle, he still forced himself to endure his dissatisfaction.

"Yes, the general will definitely remember His Majesty's teachings."

He quickly nodded and bowed in agreement with General Huwei's lesson, and then quickly turned around to find his vanguard camp.

After he left, General Huwei's deputy quickly stepped forward and asked in General Wuwei's ear.

"General, we really have to hand over the Pioneer Battalion to him. There are more than 10,000 people there."

"If those 10,000 people were taken away by him, wouldn't we suffer a big loss?"

The deputy general really couldn't understand why General Huwei had to put such a person under their noses?

Obviously he could completely refuse this matter in the main hall, and His Majesty the Emperor would never say anything more.

"Haha, don't you understand His Majesty the Emperor's temperament?"

"If I objected on the spot, he would be very angry. After all, that would make him lose face."

"What our Majesty hates most is being humiliated in front of a beautiful woman."

"Since he wants to follow me so much, then there's nothing wrong with me taking him with me."

"What's more, the tasks that vanguards usually take are very dangerous. It's not certain whether they can make it back alive."

"Since he is so eager to perform, there is nothing wrong with giving him such an opportunity."

General Huwei thought much more than the deputy general.

His Majesty the Emperor is in the prime of life and has just received a beautiful beauty.

He will definitely linger on that beauty. By then, he doesn’t know what kind of pillow wind the woman will blow in his ears.

Rather than offending others, it is better to sell more benefits to Dongfang Yu.

They are all hanging out in the court, and maybe they can gain another ally for themselves in the future.

Of course, he didn't completely trust Dongfang Yu. After all, this man's previous identity was the Duke of the country, and he was also a general of the Daqian Kingdom.

I don't know why he defected, so he must be careful.

Qin Feng didn't know anything about what happened on the border of the ancient Zhao Kingdom. At this time, he was leading a squadron of three soldiers and horses back to the court.

Many people are a little confused about his anticlimactic decision.

Especially the civil servants of the ancient Zhao Kingdom who were forcibly taken away by him felt as uncomfortable as eating shit.

They originally thought that if Qin Feng left, they could live a carefree life.

Even if they can be said to be impoverished now, their family property has been confiscated.

But they are not worried at all.
