The heavy rain stopped, and after a short sunset, it was late at night.

The autumn wind carried yīn cold, blowing in bursts, and under the moon, on an avenue, a group of cavalry galloped from afar.

But the paper armor has now been taken off.

Paper armor has several characteristics, the first is that it is raining, in a short period of time, it strengthens the protection, and the arrows are difficult to penetrate, but after a long time, the paper is loose, and it is easy to get sick when wearing soaked paper armor, so these cavalrymen have already taken off their paper armor.

The cavalry, numbering about five hundred, galloped away.

The surrounding light was dim, the vegetation on the roads was withered, and after the heavy rain, a cold breath of yīn permeated.

"Report!" galloped ten miles, and a man and a horse galloped in front of him, looking at the clothes and armor, it was the scout horse sent out by this group of cavalry.

Seeing this rider coming, Wu Xingzong grabbed the reins, and the war horse let out a roar and stopped.

The cavalry behind quickly stopped, although their faces were also blue, but they still maintained.

At this time, Tanma came to the front, turned over and dismounted, and knelt on the ground: "General, the King of Wei finally stopped, thirty miles away from our army, entered the county seat, and chased all the way, at this time the King of Wei still has two thousand people left!"

"Fifty miles...... This King of Wei can really escape, running all the way for one hundred and fifty miles, hey, I really can't afford to go!" Wu Xingzong's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, you must keep an eye on it this time, if you let this King of Wei escape, this heavenly credit will be in vain!"

After a series of battles, Wu Xingzong was burly, revealing a cold and majestic slaughter.

Wu Xingzong's following lieutenants, hearing this, couldn't help but be shocked, "Hold the reins in your hand."

This is a good point! The King of Wei galloped overnight, and there were only 2,000 people, and just staring at it and reporting it to the king was a great achievement, and if he could take advantage of this opportunity to catch it, it would really be a great achievement!

Xu Wenhui is the king of Wei, who has great luck and can capture and kill the king, he will ascend to the sky in one step!

The major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong.

In Wang Hongyi's mind, this sacrifice to the ancestors of heaven and earth and the gods is a suppressive number, which is expensive in the dark side and lasts for a long time."

For courtiers, only military merit is the heaviest!

There are two aspects of military merit, the first aspect is promotion, and the second aspect is reward.

The king was magnanimous and restored the ancient system "The countryman, the man, the son, the uncle, the marquis, and the duke are all hereditary, and there are a large number of knightly rewards."

Zhang Fan was directly sealed as the Marquis of Changting, with 7,000 acres of Juetian, 200 shaded households, and 40 pairs of soldiers.

Shi Qian has meritorious service in saving the driver, "Feng Qingyu Bo, Juetian five dry acres, one hundred and fifty households, and thirty pairs of soldiers."

These two people who were knighted first immediately made the whole army and the whole country excited, and the king's move "is obviously a thousand gold to buy bones, although it is impossible for a living person to be sealed now" must calm the world, but this wife and son, hereditary replacement, name in history, who doesn't want it?

Seeing that the credit is ahead, how can these riders not be moved?

However, when these cavalry rushed to the county seat, the moon rose high and it was quiet.

On the city walls, some shadows walked back and forth, looking at the situation and patrolling.

Five hundred people were crammed into a Tang area.

The walls of the temple mountain gate have collapsed in several directions, it seems that the incense is not prosperous, Wu Xingzong ordered the soldiers to clean up, and under the Shenjin salute, he ordered to cut firewood outside to light a fire to keep warm.

The fire trick was hidden in the tarpaulin, and a fire was made, and as soon as a few fires were burned, the whole yard was heated.

There was dry food in the horse bag, and I felt very comfortable for a while while serving the horses to drink water and eat food, and then everyone roasted and dried their clothes.

Inside, the temple was covered with oilcloth, and there were blankets on every horse, which were all wet at this time, and now they were all baked, and a trace of water vapor evaporated.

Wu Xingzong sat cross-legged on the ground, and several lieutenants were nearby.

"General, I have investigated just now, and it is not easy to blend into the county town!" said a lieutenant.

Now there is no familiar person, according to the system, Wu Xingzong can transfer a few personal soldiers and captains to follow, but now he is temporarily serving as a cavalry general, and it has not been a few days, so it is naturally too late to transfer.

It is said that Tang Yuan, Liu An, and Zhou Tai are all his henchmen, especially Tang Yuan, who is his little brother and follows Wu Xingzong to work hard from the bottom.

Wu Xingzong was a little pity, if they were there, they would be able to share some credit, and he made up his mind in his heart, and he would transfer the old team after he went back.

However, although he has now traced the traces of King Wei and knows the whereabouts of King Wei, it is unrealistic to rely on these people led by Wu Xingzong to attack the county seat.

With the King of Wei entering the city, there were 2,000 people, and there were defenders in the county, so it would be good not to fight back.

And for a while, the King of Wei noticed that he didn't catch the King of Wei, so that the King of Wei abandoned the city and fled again, but all his efforts were in vain!

"Can't enter the county?" Wu Xingzong frowned slightly, he originally wanted to send people into the city, and when the army was defeated, he fanned the flames, maybe he could make the county town strife, and he took the opportunity to attack it, but now that he thinks about it, this is still a little difficult to take advantage of.

"Don't bother, I have already sent someone to deliver a letter to the king halfway, I believe that soon the king's reinforcements will come, and then I am afraid that the king of Wei will not be able to escape?

Let's all rest!" Wu Xingzong said slowly in a deep voice.

Wu Xingzong was determined to kill, he was smart, and he knew that if he was greedy for merit and wanted to swallow it alone, he was afraid that not only might he fall short, but even within the Chu State, it would cause dissatisfaction.

After weighing it, send a message to the king, and then the army will attack the city together, no matter who catches the king of Wei, this credit is indebted to himself.

The King of Chu sent many teams to pursue the King of Wei, but he let himself run into it, isn't this a big pie?

Thinking that he had seen the King of Chu in person, he could deal with it in a moderate way, so as not to leave a bad impression, Wu Xingzong began to think about his future.

Of course, before this, he would not forget to send someone to investigate outside the county seat, once there is a disturbance, he can react immediately, even if he can't attack the city by himself, but it is more than enough to guard the four gates of the city.

Wu Xingzong ordered all the officials to go down, and at this time the blankets were baked, spread on the ground, lit the fire, and began to rest.

Yanqiu County, several camps.

At this time, there was a faint light in the tent, and there were more than a dozen pro-soldiers guarding outside the tent, all with serious expressions, holding long knives in their hands, guarding outside the tent, and no idle people were allowed to approach.

Inside the tent, several generals stared at each other with pale faces and sat a general about thirty years old, speechless for a while.

"What, you guys are so daring?" the general who spoke snorted coldly.

This person looks very ordinary, he can gesture with his hands and feet, and his whole body is full of slaughter, and it can be seen that he is a person who crawled out of the battlefield, wearing the general's official uniform, and looking at the grade, he is only slightly lower than Cao Cheng, the general of the guard.

At this time, the general sneered with a sneer on his face, his eyes were murderous, and the generals in front of him couldn't help but chill when they saw this scene.

“...... General Zhuang, this can't be done, but it's a big crime to raid the house and destroy the door!" finally someone couldn't help but speak.

The general who was sitting, Zhuang Tong sneered and said: "At this time and that time, now that the 70,000 army has been defeated, even if King Wei goes back, how many more troops can be raised?"

"And in this situation, as soon as the news of King Wei's defeat comes back, the nearby counties are only afraid of hearing the wind and surrendering, and at that time, it will be difficult for you and me to find a way out, so it is better not to do it now!"

There was silence in the tent, and several generals had a dull face and did not say a word.

Zhuang Tong glanced at everyone, and said: "And even if we go back, I'm afraid we won't be able to please me, I know that you all suspect me of resentment, but think about it, my father and my uncle both follow the king of Wei, and the king of Wei can succeed, how much credit is there?"

"But my father died in battle, and after the King of Wei gained power, he first withdrew his uncle's military power, and then found a reason to demote me two levels in a row! Originally, I was Cao Cheng's boss, but later I had to curtsy again and again when I saw him!"

"Let's not talk about resentment, after the King of Wei succeeded, he had to control the military power by himself, so he either belittled or killed the generals, and now he is defeated, the lord is weak and the ministers are strong, what will the King of Wei do, you know very well. ”

"Not to mention, this big defeat, we always have to find a scapegoat, is the King of Wei himself responsible? After I go back, I'm afraid that you and I will be killed and robbed of our homes!"

"It's not a question of widowhood or gratitude, but the king's inevitability, rather than this, it's better to do this, you and I can also keep the family from extinction!"

Hearing this, the generals present couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

After thinking about it carefully, he shuddered together, and asked himself, this is indeed the inevitability of the king, and it is not transferred by the will of people, if he is a real virtuous monarch, he may have the courage to take responsibility himself, but Xu Wenhui is not.

A few people were thinking about it, listening to a noise outside the tent.

The faces of several people in the tent changed slightly, Zhuang Tong raised his voice, and asked, "Who is making noise outside?"

"General, it's Wang Qi. One said.

Hearing that it was his own person, the faces of several people in the tent slowed down.

"Let him in. Zhuang Tong said coldly.

In a moment, I saw a lieutenant coming in from outside, his face a little pale.

"What's wrong?" this person is a cronie, Zhuang Tong couldn't help but ask.

Wang Qi bowed, and 1510 said the news he had just gotten: "General, we have discovered the Chu army outside the city!" Hearing this, the faces of several people in the tent changed greatly: "What did you say?"

Wang Qi described carefully: "Depending on the situation, it is the vanguard cavalry, which has been stared at to death, we dare not approach, and the number may be around thousands." ”

"The Chu army has arrived in the county seat?" Presumably, the Chu army will arrive soon!" Hearing this news, Zhuang Tong stood up violently, walked a few steps in the tent, his face sank, sneered, and looked at everyone: "At this time, what are you hesitating about? As soon as the Chu army arrives, you and I will be hasty!"

The Chu army arrived so quickly, it was difficult for the King of Wei to have a chance to make a comeback, and if he hesitated, he would really be treated as a loser, and not only would the glory and wealth be in vain, but even his life would be difficult to protect.

The torch yīn yang is uncertain, and several generals are stabbed by this sentence, and they are ruthless, gritting their teeth and saying, "It's done!" @.
