The hero bends down

After three months, the Southwest Army marched northward again, marching towards the capital, but this time the army no longer went to Beijing to reward, but to a head-to-head contest.Zhong Su led the troops forward, and within seven days, he led the army across the six counties in the south, and the speed of the march was extremely rare.

He specially chose the official road to travel, and every time he passed the station, he directly showed the imperial decree and half a tiger talisman.

Although the imperial decree did not point out that the Southwest Army needed to go north, Zhong Su's name as Marshal of Protecting the Country was out, and the local counties and counties only saw the banner of the Southwest Army, so they gave way one after another.

A little further away from the capital, Zhong Su heard rumors that the capital was in danger.

The news that the Allied Forces of the Six Northwest Nations were stationed on the border of Changhe gradually spread.There are many wealthy businessmen in the capital, who have already received the news one step ahead, and have moved their families from the capital to seek refuge in the outer city.

It's just that the fighting has not yet started, and the immigrants from Kyoto are already on the road in twos and threes, trying to escape the war.

In the process of fleeing, these people saw flags fluttering on the official road, and several huge "bell" characters fluttered in the air against the northeast wind.

The word "Zhong" is the surname given by the emperor to the general who protects the country. The military flag fluttering in the wind suddenly appeared on the official road. It goes without saying that this is the southwestern army led by the general who protects the country.

It would take at least half a month for the Southwest Army to go to the capital, but at this time, the Southwest Army seemed to have fallen from the sky, suddenly appearing in the suburbs not far from the capital.

Such a scene, as if the Southwest Army had expected it in advance, had been waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the capital to break the siege.

And they, the proud and wealthy businessmen in the capital, just received the news of the invasion of the six northwest countries just a few days ago.

It's incredible.

Could it be that the emperor laid out this pawn earlier?

Or is the general who protects the country like a god, leading the army to the capital to escort him in advance?

Various conjectures were circulated among the people, but what people saw was the iron cavalry of the Southwest Army approaching the capital.

One of the Southwest Army rode on a horse and led the troops. The red scarf was brightly colored against the silver armor, and he was very handsome.Even if the common people looked at him from a distance, they could see that this man was like a general of heaven, with awe-inspiring power.

A few days ago, the rumors that the Northwest Army would let the Northwest Allied Forces go all the way immediately fell apart.

Who said the capital was in danger, who said the emperor was in trouble?

Look at the general who protects the country, and then look at the Southwest Army under the general who protects the country!

As far as their aura is concerned, what is the allied army of the Northwest Kingdom, let alone the allied army of six small countries, even the enemy soldiers from seven or eight countries are still defeated by the emperor and the general who protects the country.

In fact, the emperor was already prepared!His trick is called inviting the king into the urn and catching the turtle in the urn. It can not only see clearly those "friendly countries" who are dissatisfied with the feudal country, but also make them bow their heads willingly.

If you want to attack the country, you have to look at the color of the firearm in the hand of the general who protects the country!

The rumors circulating among the people suddenly changed the direction of the wind.At first there were still some unbelievers, but when people saw the Southwest Army of Fengguo, they immediately believed it.

That team was like a majestic long dragon, marching forward row after row, even with military appearance and military style, it was also aggressive.

The common people were amazed, and the rumors spread to the army, which inspired the soldiers even more.

At first, the Southwest Army was suspicious when they heard Gong Shaohe's order, but the closer they got to the capital, the more determined they became.

Regardless of whether this march was really ordered by the emperor himself, he rushed to the capital.

It is the dream of every soldier who goes to the battlefield to charge forward under the tent of the general who protects the country.

A strong general has no weak soldiers under his command, and they still want to experience the power of the general protecting the country's firearms from heaven!

After marching until midnight, Zhong Su ordered people to set up camp, drove the horse under a tree, and slowly dismounted while holding the trunk of the tree.

If it was daytime, people next to him would definitely be able to see that the general's face was already pale, with cold sweat dripping down his cheeks drop by drop.

After a long time, Zhong Su breathed a sigh of relief and straightened his body.

Seeing Zhong Su's figure in the distance, Gong Shaohe frowned slightly, stepped forward quickly to hold Zhong Su's hand, and said, "General, you are not feeling well?"

"It's okay." Zhong Su simply said two words.

He was very glad that Cheng Fengnan was not by his side.If the imperial doctor was there, he would definitely urge him to take the medicine on time, stay in the carriage more often, and not march overnight, and the marching time would definitely be extended for a long time.

Hearing what Zhong Su said, Gong Shaohe couldn't ask any further questions, but just stood aside and watched Zhong Su's situation.

Zhong Su looked around and ordered someone to take the blueprint of the nearby area.

Soon Wei Yiqing happily walked up with the blueprint, and stared at Zhong Su intently.

Although he has seen General Zhong many times, he never gets tired of watching him.

Zhong Su opened the blueprint, carefully observed a cup of tea, and then said: "General Gong, I want to change the marching route."

Gong Shaohe was stunned and said: "The general's route is determined after discussion every time..." When he said this, he stopped immediately and asked instead: "What route does the general want to change?"

Zhong Su pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "The Southwest Army will not go to the capital, but go directly to the Changhe border."

Gong Shaohe was taken aback.

Wei Yiqing immediately clapped his hands and said, "General Zhong wants to go directly to the front line to confront the Six Nations?"

The boy's eyes showed excitement, as long as he heard about wars, especially front-line battles, he would be extremely excited.

Soon, his excitement was poured cold water by Zhong Su's next words.

"No." Zhong Su denied, "Although the Six Kingdoms have the Northwest Army to let them go, they have violated the taboo of military strategists."

Wei Yiqing twitched his lips and said, "The lone army is going deep, is it possible that the general wants to intercept those people's retreat?"

He spoke so abruptly that Gong Shaohe was taken aback.

Zhong Su nodded and said, "Indeed."

Wei Yiqing pursed his mouth and said, "That's not fun, and it's not exciting."

"..." Gong Shaohe really wanted to shut the boy's mouth.

Zhong Su said: "The battlefield is not a child's play, we must obtain the maximum effect with the minimum investment."

Wei Yiqing wanted to mutter, but Gong Shaohe immediately pulled him off.

As soon as this plan came out, Zhong Su summoned other generals to make an agreement, and then ordered the decision to each barracks.

The Southwest Army then diverted its course and headed northwest.

The imperial city is far away, and there is still no sign of it, but Zhong Su knows in his heart that if this battle is won, he and Long Yi will meet soon.

The Southwest Army marched all the way, turning from the southwest of the capital to the northwest.

At the same time, the Changhe Army summoned by the emperor's order has launched the first wave of battle with the Allied Forces of the Six Nations in Changhe.

The water of the Changhe River is wide, and the river is surging. They face each other within a day, and the sound of shouts and drums is still echoing on the river.

The terrain here is a natural moat, and Changhe has few soldiers, so it can resist the turbulent attack of the enemy for a while.

On the front line, Ye Ying also arrived at the barracks of the Changhe Army from the Southwest Army.

He walked all the way into the main tent, saw the people in the tent, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the Huaibei Army has reached the Changhe border."

The person in the tent is Long Yi.

After hearing this, Long Yi looked at the map in the tent thoughtfully.

Seeing that the emperor did not speak, Yeying said again: "Your Majesty, General Zhong has led the Southwest Army to the north and crossed the Chang River at Fenghe Pavilion."

The news fell into Long Yi's ears, and a smile suddenly appeared on Long Yi's face.

"Didn't tell him to send troops?"

"No, I just told General Zhong the news of the siege of the capital." Yeying said.

A gleam of light flashed in Long Yi's eyes.

Afterwards, Ye Ying's words made Long Yi's heart shake again.

"Your Majesty, I still have something to report to the Emperor."

"Say." Long Yi said.

"Your Majesty, when I went to the Southwest Army that day, I didn't see Imperial Physician Cheng." Ye Ying paused, knowing that the Emperor would miss General Zhong, and said plainly, "It is said that General Zhong rode on the road overnight."

"..." After hearing this, Long Yi got up immediately, and the expression on his face changed instantly.
