Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Although it was a scorching summer day, Zhao Kuo was actually not too hot walking in the shadow of leaves in the woods.

But the problem is that there is no road at all in this forest, and various branches and leaves hit Zhao Kuo's body, causing many small wounds to appear on his body and arms.

The trouble doesn't stop there.

There was a hissing sound suddenly, and Zhao Kuo turned his head sharply, only to find a poisonous snake on a branch a few feet away, spitting a message at himself.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow shot from the side, hit the poisonous snake seven inches in the middle, and firmly nailed the poisonous snake to the tree trunk.

A hand with dark skin stretched out, pulled out the arrow, and took down the already limp poisonous snake. Then, a bronze dagger pierced into the snake's belly viciously, and then stretched out his hand, a small snake gut It appeared in front of Zhao Kuo.

"General, snake gall can improve eyesight and detoxify, please take it." The guide in front of Zhao Kuo handed the snake gall to Zhao Kuo with a flattering smile on his face.

Zhao Kuo shrugged his shoulders, took the snake gall and swallowed it.

A fishy smell lingered in his mouth, making Zhao Kuo feel sick.

Zhao Kuo spit out forcefully, and then said to the guide in front of him, "Husband, how long will it take to get out of Zhongtiao Mountain?"

Husband is the name of the guide in front of him.

In this era, common people do not have surnames, so a husband is a husband, not a named husband.

The reason why he is called Husband, of course, is because he has been fighting in Zhongtiao Mountain all year round, just like the person named Goubutu is a butcher who specializes in killing dogs, and the person named Paoding is a cook who cooks meals in the kitchen.

The husband smiled and said to Zhao Kuo: "General, please don't worry. You should be able to walk out of this mountain before sunset tonight."

Hearing this, Zhao Kuo relaxed slightly, patted his husband on the shoulder, and said, "Very well, if you can lead me out of this mountain smoothly, then your credit will be indispensable."

Zhao Kuo is not alone. In fact, behind Zhao Kuo, there is a long dragon composed of soldiers from the Zhao army.

Since crossing the Yellow River, they have been trekking in the Zhongtiao Mountain Range with great difficulty. They have climbed many high mountains and crossed countless dense forests in the past few days, and finally they are going to walk out of this mountain range.

Even though he has long been accustomed to the hard life of marching and fighting, Zhao Kuo has to admit that the hardship of this trip over Zhongtiao Mountain still made him a little unexpected.

Poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, high mountains and steep mountains, there are almost no roads that can only be slowly moved forward on one's own feet, and there are countless mosquito bites at night.

Hundreds of Zhao soldiers stayed in this mountain forever because of these things.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but glance at the husband in front of him.

If it weren't for this guide who has been fighting in Zhongtiao Mountain all year round, then I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to get out of this mountain range.

A guy worth recruiting.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo said, "husband, are you willing to be my personal soldier?"

As a general, Zhao Guo already has the right to set up his own personal guard.

The husband was overjoyed when he heard the words, and bowed to Zhao Kuona, "Thank you, General."

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly, helped her husband up, said a few words of encouragement, and got the promise that the other party could not wait for.

In this idea, the high-level people are certainly intriguing, but the common people at the bottom are still mostly honest.

One piece after another of forests and bushes was crossed by Zhao Kuo and the Zhao soldiers behind him. Although the scenery is not repeated, it still gives people a sense of endlessness.

I don't know how long it took, the husband who had been walking in front to explore the way suddenly turned his head, and the expression of joy was clear when he spoke: "General, we are here!"

Zhao Kuo was overjoyed, and shouted at the soldiers of the Zhao army behind him: "Second and third sons, keep going, we're here!"

After a while, Zhao Kuo's face suddenly brightened, endless green filled his sight, and the Hedong County Plain finally appeared in front of him.

The sun without the shade of the trees fell straight down from the sky and hit Zhao Kuo's head, and the scorching air surrounded Zhao Kuo in an instant.

Zhao Kuo looked at the endless plain of Hedong County in front of him, and the looming tall city wall at the end of his line of sight, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

After a full five days of hard marching, he finally climbed over the Zhongtiao Mountain Range and came to Hedong County!

Behind Zhao Kuo, soldiers of the Zhao army came out one after another. Many soldiers were scarred, and they couldn't help but limp on the ground as soon as they appeared, feeling like they were reborn after a catastrophe.

Zhao Kuo called the scout captain and said: "You immediately take a few people to investigate in Anyi City to see if the Qin people are prepared! The rest of the people rest where they are, and don't show their whereabouts!"

The captain of the scout responded, and left quickly with a few scouts.

Two hours later, Zhao Kuo got the news he wanted.

"General, the gate of Anyi City is closed. There are many Qin troops on the top of the city, and the guards are extremely strict."

Zhao Kuo nodded and thought for a long time before saying, "Can you guess how many Qin troops there are in Anyi City?"

The scout captain shook his head and said, "I wanted to catch some people alive, but I didn't get it after waiting for a while."

Zhao Kuo, who couldn't get the answer, wasn't too frustrated. He looked up at the sky with a smile on his face.

"Okay, pass on the order, the whole army will go west along the woods, and set up camp at sunset!"

"To the west?" The husband standing next to Zhao Kuo was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help reminding: "General, the city of Anyi is in the northeast, if it is to the west, wouldn't it be in the opposite direction to the city of Anyi? "

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly, and slapped his husband on the shoulder: "Who said that this general is going to attack Anyi? You don't think you can conquer Anyi just by relying on the 3000 people behind this general. A big city, right?"

Yes, the army following Zhao Kuo did not have an army of 3000 as Bai Qi thought, but an elite army of [-].

Zhao Kuo received not one but two tasks in advance.

The first task is to take down Anyi City if it is found that Anyi's defense is empty after crossing the Zhongtiao Mountains, and then stand by for help.

The second is the preparatory plan, which needs to be activated when the defenders of Anyi City are prepared and it is absolutely impossible to capture Anyi.

That is to go all the way west along the Zhongtiao Mountain Range, until the end of the Zhongtiao Mountain Range, and then attack Pujin Pass not far from this end!

An army of one hundred thousand is absolutely mighty and boundless, and it is impossible to cover up its whereabouts.

But if it is only [-] troops, then the situation is completely different.

With the help of the cover of the forest, and the fact that Qin Jun did not realize the direction of Zhao Jun's advance, Zhao Kuo felt that he could basically reach Pujindu without anyone noticing.

"I heard that the Qin army landed a large amount of grain and grass at Pujin Ferry every day for transfer. If I can capture Pujin Pass and burn the grain and grass stored in the pass city, then the credit will be less ?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing.

The sun gradually slanted to the west. Under the leadership of Zhao Kuo, three thousand soldiers of the Zhao army gradually disappeared into the sunset glow along the forest at the foot of the mountain.
