Chen Heng muttered to himself: "The Zhao clan is insidious and vicious, and releasing more than 2,000 people from their clothes in situ, so that they can block the Tu Dao can slow down the speed of our reinforcements. This division has lost its courage and lost its commanders, and it is already a remnant army, and it is afraid that it will no longer be able to form an army on its own without months of recovery and reorganization, and with the addition of 2,000 mouths, the army's already small food is even more scarce. ”

Especially those who are wounded, if they are not rescued, they will not be able to do it, their morale will be hit, it will be difficult to save them, and even food will not be guaranteed.

He then asked eagerly, "Where is Zhao Wuxian?" Where is the weight of the grain? ”

There was a division that hesitated for a moment: "Doctor, they went in two ways." ”

"Which two?"

The villain saw that nearly a thousand oxen and horses pulling carts had unloaded their baggage, tied the captured officers to them, and hurried to the west avenue. And the banner of the Jin people is still in place, and the son is also there, if the doctor travels north quickly, he may be able to catch up! ”

To the west, of course, Zhen Yi, who was still in the hands of Zhao Wuxian, released people who could not be quickly subdued, but took away livestock that were easy to drive, and this business was done shrewdly.

Chen Heng is not stupid, he led people to the north cautiously, for fear of being ambushed again, this Zhao Wuxian battle is very their Chen clansmen Sima Sui Tho and Sun Wu's style, sometimes playing a dignified battle, but sometimes he is full of wisdom, and he must be guarded against. However, until half an hour later, he saw the Qi camp, but he did not find any trace of Zhao Bing along the way.

"Doctor, there's smoke and fire!" The sharp-eyed soldier pointed miles away and shouted.

At this time, it was already nightfall, Chen Heng looked up, only to see a billowing smoke and brilliant flames rising suddenly from the valley, the fire was three or four feet high, dazzling in the dark.

The fire grew stronger and stronger. The soldiers were dumbfounded: the low dark clouds were dyed the color of flames, and different shades of red covered the sky, strangely beautiful and terrifyingly evil, like the sunset of the sunset, but the sun never showed up today. It's cold all around.

When they got closer, they found that the ruins of the Huluochai camp, where the soldiers had once been stationed, were blazing, and half of the tents were on fire. The air was full of smoke and dust, and truckloads of corn were engulfed in the flames of **, and the smell of burning made everyone who had driven thirty or forty miles feel hungry. A bright red light forced everyone to cover their eyes, and the flames danced in the camp, crackling and sizzling, and it was a large amount of kudzu burning......

The heat lifted the crimson capes that fluttered in the camp. Whipped to Chen Heng's bare face, he just walked all the way, even his face was a little frozen, and he suddenly felt a hot pain after the heat, but he didn't avoid it, if he looked at the fire in front of him steadily, his ears seemed to hear the cheers of Zhao Bing, who had retreated more than ten miles away......

"100,000 stone grains, thousands of kudzu. Destroyed! He suddenly sneered.

Zhao Wuxian's move not only increased the burden of Qi people's supplies, but he also burned all the grain, clothing, etc. here. Seeing this, the morale of the Qi people will inevitably drop greatly, not to mention the war, and it will be difficult to even return to the country......

Qi Hou has been rushing to the south these days, with endless rapid marches and scattered corpses abandoned on the side of the road...... It's all empty.

Unless the day after tomorrow can really defeat the main force of Zhao soldiers on the edge of Pushui and kill or capture Zhao Ying, it is better to gain than lose from this trip.

For a monarch. For a secretary, this is a serious mistake, you must know that when the king of Chu was the king, the minister Zizhong was because of this crime. Under the condemnation of the people, he blamed himself for his troubles and died of "heart disease"!

If this is the case, the public office will lose the hearts of the people in the country and its prestige will plummet!

But this is nothing to do with Chen Heng, he asked the emperor to turn the head of the car, send the chariot back to report the news, and say that he should not worry too much about the good aspects. He didn't plan to go back like this, look at this, Zhao Wuxian went north after burning the grain and grass, and his goal was obvious, it was the grain station along the way of the Qi people, Chen Heng just left Xilu all the way and returned to Qi Realm safely on the grounds of chasing and rescuing Gongzi Yangsheng!

Of course, it is true that he has a good relationship with Yangsheng, but it is not necessarily true or not, that son who is arrogant on the outside and timid on the inside, must not be very comfortable after being captured.

But next, the winter snow that Qi people have to face is even more uncomfortable.

"There is warm soup and hot rice in the camp, and you can catch up with the ...... if you go south quickly."

Not only did he not worry about the Marquis of Qi, but at this time, he added a small fire to the dry pyre, so that the more than 2,000 Qi soldiers who were looking at him were facing the frost of the night, and went all the way south to the camp of the Qi State.

In the sky, as if provoked by the flames on the surface, the dark clouds became darker and darker, and the first snowflakes began to fall slowly......

……

At nightfall, after destroying a grain station set up by the Qi people north of Zhendi, Zhao Wuxian asked people to find a place to stop and rest in a township that could shelter from the cold wind.

Because of the clear walls, most of the people have moved into the city, and the few pavilions they pass by are empty, and there are basically no people entering or leaving.

I happened to meet one or two, who were also speculative thieves, and when I saw them all these heavily armed foot riders, they were all like ghosts, and they were busy running away. No shirt makes people catch and ask, not a thief's subordinates.

That person is now being watched by Ran Qiu with five hundred mandarin duck soldiers in Yuncheng, and he has been stabilized in the temporary "mercenary" mode of the official family who has proposed to pay for food and steal his feet, and there is no way to do it, in addition, there is no way to make both parties accept it for the time being, and then calculate the general account after beating the Qi people.

"After this fortified wall and clearing the wilderness, the various towns under my rule are equivalent to being severely damaged by the army, and there are many losses, and even many winter wheat have been destroyed. Fortunately, the autumn grain harvest is abundant, and as long as the spring ploughing is not delayed next year, the people will still be able to eat. Looking at the empty and uninhabited, even the courtyard wall was destroyed by Qi people in many places, Wuxian sighed.

Everyone bowed their heads, only Tian Ben patted his belly, which was eating in the camp of Qi State, and said heartlessly: "Otherwise, the nearly 1,000 cattle and horses that Si Kou obtained, as well as the silk silk wrapped around our bodies, are enough to compensate for the loss of Sanyi." ”

Zhao Wuxian chose to take away the lighter silk silk in the weight of the Qi people, and also distributed some of them on the spot according to the degree of meritorious service of each pawn, so the group was happy.

"Ao should have driven the cattle and horses back to Zhencheng by now, and was welcomed by the people of the city, we are bleeding and sweating outside, but it is this kid who is the first to triumph." Yu Xi taught Xing Ao to ride a horse and regarded him as his own brother, and said so jokingly at this time.

The harvest of this trip is still very large, but it is a pity that there is too much grain and grass to be transported away, so Wuxian only has time to let everyone eat the fried corn with cooked beef and horse meat, and leave after raising enough strength. The rest were all burned on the spot, saving them from being used by the Qi people again, and looking back from here at this moment, in the lonely dark night sky, you can even faintly see the long-lasting flame dozens of miles away.

Wuxian said with a smile: "It's cold today, presumably after the Qi reinforcements arrive, they can still bake a fire around there, unlike us, we can only crowd here around this small fire, and the house is surrounded by walls." ”

The soldiers laughed loudly, Zhao Wuxian's style of sharing weal and woe with the soldiers and treating each other like himself after the battle was quite unusual in this era, but he also won the respect of everyone, and he simply told everyone about the past.

"During the Battle of Yanling that year, the Chu army retreated in a hurry, so the Jin army entered the Chu camp after the victory and ate the grain carried by the Chu people for three consecutive days. What we do today is similar, and it is extremely demoralizing! ”

Speaking of which, in that war, because the young Zhao Wu had just recovered his territory, the Zhao family did not have any outstanding performance. In other words, the Zhao family has never been famous for military affairs, Zhao Chengzi is polite and polite, and he played a soy sauce in the battle of Chengpu; Although Zhao Xuanzi is a powerful minister, he is not an expert in war; Later, in the Battle of Yi, the Zhao clan was divided into three camps: the main battle lord and the troublemaker, and only Zhao Zhuangzi behaved decently; When he arrived in Zhao Wu, his style was not like his name but like the nickname "Wenzi", and he didn't have any eye-catching exploits in the Battle of Pingyin to attack Qi State, and he was still "not restrained" under the city, and he touched a gray nose.

But now among the remaining six secretaries of the Jin Kingdom, except for the Fan family, the other secretaries have all had very eye-catching figures in military affairs, such as the father of the Bank of China Lin and the Bank of China Wu, Wei Shu, Han Ju, and Zhishou......

However, this time in the alignment operation, just relying on the 500-mile detour of the post and the surprise attack of 800 light cavalry, it was enough for Zhao Bing to make a prestige. It doesn't seem to have any practical benefits, but the Zhao family's status in the hearts of the people of Xinjiang will rise a lot.

The competition between the six kings is not only a mutual alliance and confrontation, but also an extremely important battle for the expansion of the population of the territory, which is also extremely important to the gains and losses of the hearts and minds of the people.

At this moment, Kan Zhi came to the fire and whispered a few words to Zhao Wuxian.

"Gongzi Yangsheng wants to see me?"

It turned out that it was the captured Prince Yang Sheng of Qi who was clamoring to talk to Zhao Wuxian, and the rest of the unimportant prisoners, Wuxian asked Xing Ao to take them back to Zhencheng directly, and only the big fish that came to the net was carried by himself. He can't guarantee that he will have a smooth journey, and in case of danger, he can also be used as a hostage to make Qi people throw themselves into a trap.

"Well, let's hear what he has to say."

……

The house where the prince of Qi was imprisoned was an ordinary dwelling in the middle, small but clean, but for a captured son, it seemed very empty.

Yang Sheng sat silently on the mat, staring at the wine cup on the table in front of him, the rice wine on his lips was tasteless and sour, and he didn't move at all from the rough food and the golden roasted beef and horse meat.

All he could do was think of his own way out.

Just as Yang Sheng swallowed his saliva again, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and Zhao Wuxian walked in, followed by Mu Xia, who was heavily armed, and he was responsible for guarding outside.

"I wonder what's the matter with Childe?" The shirtless was draped in a warm and heavy bearskin coat, and from this outfit, Yang Sheng could imagine the cold outside.

For a noble son, being captured and detained is humiliating, and Yang Sheng is angry: "Yu Wucai, unfortunately I saw that I was captured by Xiao Si Kou, I don't know what Xiao Si Kou should do with Yu?" (To be continued......)
