Originally, Tong Yan only practiced at night, but considering the urgency of time, he decided to practice during the day. Over the next two days, he told the general that he needed to calmly analyze the situation. If it's not something particularly urgent, don't bother him.

His Royal Highness the Prince has an order, and the general naturally does not dare to disobey.

And just like that, the frantic sprint began.

After painfully absorbing the Qi of the Extreme Yin again and again, the nightingale will invigorate his blood for the first time. In this way, the day has finally come for the army to march.

After three days of cultivation day and night, the true qi in Tong Yan's body has improved significantly. The injuries on his body also recovered a lot with the help of True Qi.

After receiving the flying pigeon transmission from Wang Hu and Meng Ke in front, the army of the Northern Yan Kingdom has now attacked Jiuxiao City, which is three hundred miles north of Yong'an City.

Every time these beasts invade a city, they destroy it. burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil, even the elderly and children. Refugees from various northern cities fled to Yong'an City and the cities near Yong'an City, but because most of the money and food were used for military purposes, the treasury was now empty, and many refugees died on the way, and some starved and froze to death. The death toll has expanded to tens of thousands, and if this continues, half of the Zhao Kingdom will be destroyed in the smoke of gunpowder.

Although the guerrillas often harassed and ambushed, they were unable to deal an effective blow to the enemy because they were too concentrated and had limited attrition along the way.

Tong Yan had planned for the worst before he set out on the expedition, but he didn't expect the situation to develop to this extent. It is no longer possible to count on the mercy of those beasts of the Northern Yan Kingdom, and only by stopping the war can the people be saved from fire and water, and this catastrophe can be quelled.

This made Tong Yan unconsciously think of the ten-year catastrophe that Yu Xiaozhen said back then, and when he calculated the time, it was getting closer and closer to the ten-year catastrophe. After the danger of Zhao Guo is resolved, he must leave here quickly. He must return to the world before the ten years of the catastrophe, and he must wake up Xue'er before the ten years of the catastrophe.

And now, the most important thing he should do is to go to Sanshui City, and after meeting with the 30,000 troops there, he will go to Yong'an City together. Yong'an City must not be lost again, it is not only the capital of Zhao State, but also the shelter of thousands of people. If it were to be lost, it would also mean that tens of thousands of people's lives would be in danger.

Leaving two thousand defenders, Tong Yan led the army towards Sanshui City. On the way, Tong Yan specially sent a letter to the five princesses who were far away in the imperial city.

The general content of the letter is to let her stabilize the emotions of the people in Yong'an City and the surrounding cities, and resettle the refugees to the greatest extent and let them have enough to eat. In addition, it is extremely important to prevent the outbreak of plague at any time.

The greater the number of deaths, the more likely it is that an outbreak of the plague will be. This is a historical testimony, and we must guard against it. War is terrible, and the plague caused by war is even more terrible.

He had neglected to protect the people of the northern city, so this time, he could not miscalculate.

Riding on tall horses, the troops slowly marched forward. Because not all of them were cavalry, and a considerable part of them were infantry. In order to take care of the infantry, the horsemen had to slow down so as not to stretch the line too long.

The nightingale rode a horse while fiddling with the soul beads that Tong Yan had given her. She had a great interest in this soul bead, and she fiddled all the way along the way.

Originally, if you had ridden a horse at full strength, it would have been less than twenty hours away. But because of the infantry, the speed of the march was more than doubled.

Both horses and people needed to rest, and after nightfall, Tong Yan ordered the army to set up camp and wait until dawn before setting off.

In the big tent, Tong Yan once again began to absorb the extreme yin qi in the holy stone. He was unwilling to let go of any time, and improving his cultivation was the most important thing at the moment.

After more than three days of tossing and turning, the army finally arrived in Sanshui City.

Tong Yan once again admired Huo Tian, the Taishou of Sanshui City, don't look at the small size of Sanshui City, but he took care of the army that arrived here.

Tong Yan didn't explain anything to him in advance, but he still set up a tent and built dozens of pots and stoves in advance.

As soon as the army arrived, they drank hot porridge and ate white-flour steamed buns.

If the Taishou of every city was as prescient as Huo Tian, then he, the prince, would not have to worry so much.

In the Taishou Mansion, Huo Tian prepared a large table of dishes. Tong Yan needed to get acquainted with the generals who came to Hukou Pass, so the meeting place was chosen in Taishou Mansion.

After Tong Yan took his seat, other generals also sat down.

After glancing at the crowd, Tong Yan spoke. "You are all the pillars of my Zhao country, and it is not a good thing for us to gather together today. Why? Because there's going to be a war! What does it mean to go to war? It means that the people are suffering, and it means that the lives are miserable. However, if the heart of the enemy country does not die, how can we enjoy peace in peace? I do not want to kill, but the enemy deceives me too much, and invades my territory and kills my people, how can I ignore them? Now, the army of the Northern Yan Kingdom has invaded Jiuxiao City, and the next target is Yong'an City. If Yong'an City falls again, at least 10,000 people will face annihilation. These people are our relatives and our compatriots. We cannot tolerate it any longer, and we must slaughter the enemy who will come to the next invading place completely. Only by letting them fear us, and only by letting them also taste the feeling of their wives being separated and their families ruined, can they understand the truth that harming others will eventually harm them. I don't want to say anything more, each of you has a bowl of wine in front of you, drink it all, and let's set off for Yong'an City tomorrow. We must not allow the enemy to step into Yong'an City, and we must not allow the tragedy to continue to happen. These beasts of the Northern Yan Kingdom, none of them can be left, I want them to remember this lesson forever, I want them to know that those who offend me Zhao Guo will have only one end, and that is death! Come, do it, for the sake of Zhao Guo, for the sake of the world! ”

Tong Yan's words made everyone's blood boil, although such words are more suitable for pre-war mobilization. But the generals heard it, and they relayed it to the soldiers below. There is a child saying that this prince fought side by side with them, which is worth a thousand words.

While drinking with the generals, Tong Yan asked them about the situation of the troops and what they were good at. After he understood everything, the meal was over.

Seeing the generals leave the Taishou Mansion, he specially called Huo Tian because he had a very important matter that Huo Tian needed to do.

What is going on?
