Three days passed in a flash, and in these three days, Tong Yan gave Wang Hu several lessons, the content of which was nothing more than how to fight guerrillas, how to entangle the enemy, and the extremely mysterious thirty-six strategies.

This Wang Hu's qualifications are not high, and he can only understand many things after Tong Yan has spoken it a few times. In contrast, Meng Ke, the son of the general, learned very quickly. He recommended himself and wanted to lead the army with Wang Hu to deal with the 100,000 troops of the Northern Yan Kingdom. Although the general was a little unbearable, he could only compromise when the country was ruined.

Tong Yan had great expectations for Wang Hu and Meng Ke, because whether they could hold back the army of the Northern Yan Kingdom was extremely important to the safety of the Zhao State. The longer they delayed, the longer Tong Yan and them could concentrate on dealing with the Flying Dragon Kingdom without worries.

This is a critical order, although Tong Yan feels that it is a little too risky, but he really can't think of any other way. After all, he was the only one, and if there were two more strategists like him who were proficient in the art of war, perhaps he would be able to sit in the imperial city with peace of mind, waiting for the good news ahead.

But the reality is cruel, and he, the de facto king of a country, will inevitably have to conquer in person.

Changing into golden armor and holding a golden long sword, Tong Yan stood on top of the court, with a serious and heroic face. He's about to go, but before he leaves, he needs to explain something. If he failed, he couldn't let Zhao Guo really die like this.

"The Northern Yan Kingdom and the Flying Dragon Kingdom have the heart to kill me, and now they are leading the iron cavalry to invade my territory and kill my people. Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, we cannot continue to let this group of jackals, tigers and leopards continue. Therefore, I decided to take the lead and fight against foreign enemies. After I leave, all the affairs in this imperial city will be handled by the five princesses, and you must work together to assist the five princesses. I think it won't be long before you will receive the good news from ahead of us, and you will hear the cheers of the soldiers in front of me. Although my Zhao country is small, it cannot tolerate half a step of foreign enemies; Although our people are kind, they do not allow others to be bullied in the slightest. Ladies and gentlemen, this rear will be handed over to you, I hope you will not disappoint me, let alone the people of Zhao State. The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, to eliminate the enemy, and to raise the prestige of our country! ”

With Tong Yan's generous statement, he and hundreds of soldiers marched towards Xisha Pass. As for Wang Hu and Meng Ke, they had already led the 10,000 guerrilla army to Hukou Pass one step ahead. The 30,000 garrisons at Hukou Pass also rushed to Xisha Pass two days ago.

The flames of war have raged, and it's time for a showdown.

Some people may ask, why didn't Tong Yan directly transfer the 20,000 soldiers and horses from Hukou Pass, leaving 10,000 soldiers and horses to fight guerrillas? It's better than 10,000 people starting from the imperial city and heading to Hukou Pass, right?

In fact, the reason why Tong Yan is arranged in this way has its special intentions. The 10,000 troops who set out from the imperial city were all rebels, and 5,000 of them were black armor soldiers. Although it is possible for them to rebel again, it is undeniable that the strength of these 10,000 soldiers and horses is higher than the original strength of Zhao State, especially the Black Armor Army. The soldiers of the Black Armor Army all used a kind of scimitar with chains, and this weapon was designed to be unexpected, and had something in common with the elements of guerrilla warfare. In addition, many of the black-armored troops are people from the rivers and lakes, and the people from the rivers and lakes are naturally people with martial arts, and their combat advantages in the mountains and forests can be highlighted. Based on these points, this 10,000 rebel army is the most suitable candidate to deal with the 100,000 male divisions of the Northern Yan Kingdom.

Even if there may be an accident, with Wang Hu, the former leader of the Black Armor Army, there may be a surprise.

Whether it works or not, Tong Yan has to try, because he has no choice.

From Yong'an City, where the palace is located, to reach Xisha Pass, it takes at least three or four days to travel. Even if it was a day and night horseback ride, it would take two days. Both humans and horses need to rest, and even if Tong Yan is anxious, he can't change this force majeure.

And the army of Hukou Pass, from Hukou Pass to Xisha Pass, the journey has to increase a lot. They were as short as seven days and as long as ten. In this way, it also means that the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Xisha Pass must hold out for ten days, and only in this way can they get reinforcements and launch a counteroffensive.

Tong Yan had already sent a letter to the generals of Xisha Pass three days ago, so that they could refuse to go out, and with the blocking of the pass, they should be able to hold on for some more time.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, night had fallen. Tong Yan and a few hundred cavalry continued to gallop forward along the main road. They must arrive at Sanshui City before the hour of the hour, where they have changed horses and a brief rest, and then they must continue on their journey.

Sanshui City is just a small city, and the population in the city is only a few thousand. The entire city was guarded by only three to five hundred soldiers, but the guards who defended the city were quite prestigious. Legend has it that this person was born to be able to read and hyphenation, at the age of three he could write poems, at the age of five he had already read poetry books, and at the age of seven he could write chapters. There are not many such strange people in Zhao Kingdom, and some people even assert that this person is estimated to be a Wenqu star, otherwise how could he have such poetic attainments?

Tong Yan really wants to meet this person, such a genius, if he can be used well, he is even more powerful than 10,000 male soldiers.

In the blink of an eye, it was approaching, and a small city with bright lights also came into Tong Yan's sight.

"Your Highness, there is Sanshui City ahead. We'll rest here tonight! ”

Hearing Wu Saburo's introduction, Tong Yan just nodded and didn't say much.

Wu Saburo made Tong Yan a little disappointed, and during the battle of the Imperial City a few days ago, Tong Yan asked him to take a few ministers to win over the imperial relatives. Unexpectedly, this grandson actually hid with the ministers. Only waited for Tong Yan to enter the palace before he appeared.

Tong Yan naturally knew the little Jiujiu in his heart, he was worried that Tong Yan would lose in the battle for the throne, so he chose to watch the fire from the other side. If it weren't for the fact that he still had the value of use, Tong Yan really wanted to divide his five horses. But no matter what, after all, he handed over the Imperial Forest Army to Tong Yan, and from this point, he can be regarded as having some credit.

The war horse galloped wildly, and Tong Yan and the others finally arrived in Sanshui City. Outside the city gates, he saw the city guards who had been waiting for a long time. It's just that he didn't expect that this Taishou would be so young, and he looked like he was about thirty years old.

Being able to become a city keeper at a young age can highlight the extraordinaryness of this person.

"Sanshui City is too guarded by Huo Tian, meet Your Highness! Your Highness has worked hard all the way, and the lower officials have prepared a banquet, please follow me into the city! ”

Tong Yan rode on the horse, looked at Huo Tian, and then said, "Get up, lead the way!" ”

Hearing this, Huo Tian hurriedly stood up and trotted all the way into Sanshui City with Tong Yan and the others.

Although this Sanshui City is small, it is very prosperous inside, not only the roads are wide, the houses are also quite neatly built, and most importantly, it is very clean, even cleaner than Yongan City.

Tong Yan noticed this, and didn't face this Huo Tiangao and glanced at it.

Ten minutes later, Tong Yan had already entered the Taishou Mansion, and looking at the exquisite dishes placed in front of him, he was really a little hungry. The nightingale standing next to him licked her lips and twisted her head to the side, apparently hungry too.

As for Taishou Huo Tian, he just stood respectfully, and this table of dishes was completely prepared for Tong Yan alone. Tong Yan looked at Huo Tian and the nightingale, and then said, "No need to be restrained, you can sit too!" ”

When the nightingale heard this, she immediately sat down unceremoniously.

Huo Tian hesitated slightly, and then sat down in front of Tong Yan. Tong Yan was just about to ask him a little about the situation in Sanshui City, but he didn't expect this Huo Tian to say a news that surprised Tong Yan.

What is the good news?
