"Drive... drive... drive..."

A rapid sound of urging horses sounded across the land, and soon the figure of a war horse appeared on the distant horizon.

On horseback, an orderly soldier of the Wei army wearing a red military uniform was holding the reins tightly in his hand, with an anxious look on his face.

The war horse beneath him seemed to be able to feel the urgency of the military situation, and its majestic four hooves quickly struck the ground under its feet.

The war horses galloped forward like a strong wind, and soon a city appeared in the eyes of the Wei army messenger.

"Report..."

"The battle report has been sent to Yecheng."

In the palace of the city lord of Daliang City in the Wei State, Zhai Kai, the guard general of Daliang, was standing in front of a map. At this moment, his face was full of solemn expression.

When he heard the report coming from behind him, Zhai Kai's eyes slowly moved away from the map in front of him and turned to the figure who had already stepped into the door.

Taking the battle report from the messenger soldier in front of him, looking at his dusty appearance, a look of respect immediately appeared on Zhai Kai's face.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's go down and rest first."

"Thank you, General."

After the figure of the messenger slowly disappeared from sight, Zhai Kai unfolded the battle report in his hand and read it.

At this moment, the deputy general who had been standing next to Zhai Kai slowly walked to his side, his eyes full of concern.

"Do you have any orders, Your Majesty?"

"Very good."

As soon as the deputy general finished speaking, a cheer appeared in his ears, and then he saw Zhai Kai beside him with a somewhat excited expression.

"Your Majesty has learned about the Chu army moving north, and has ordered Sima to lead an army of 50,000 people to quickly go south."

When the news rang in his ears, the lieutenant let out a sigh of relief, and the look on his face became much more relaxed.

"With the army led by Sima and our garrison in Daliang City, the 50,000-strong army under Chu State's Ling Yin is no longer a worry."

After a moment of relaxation, the look on the lieutenant's face returned to caution again, and he whispered a reminder to Zhai Kai.

"General, I think that as long as Sima's army has not arrived, our army cannot take anything lightly."

In response to the deputy general's reminder, Zhai Kai nodded slightly, with some agreement in his heart.

After serving in the army for many years, although he has not been able to create any glorious achievements that will be recorded in history, the instinct honed in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood still makes Zhai Kai full of caution at this moment.

He knew very well that the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and if he slacked off even a little bit, failure would not be far away from him.

His eyes turned to the deputy general beside him, and he heard Zhai Kai give a deep order: "Send someone to send a message to all the cities on the border between Wei and Chu. From now on, we will strengthen the alert and we must not give the Chu army an opportunity to take advantage of it."

.”

"Also, in addition to the battle report, Your Majesty ordered me, Daliang, to monitor the movements of Chu's army at all times. Send all the scouts out, and the agents hidden in Chu's territory should also be active. Once any abnormal movements of Chu's army are discovered, report them at any time.

.”

"Here."

After receiving Zhai Kai's order, the lieutenant's face became solemn, he bowed and turned to leave.

At this moment, a hurried reporting sound appeared in their ears.

"Report..."

"General, please report back with details. The 50,000 troops under the command of Yin, the Chu State Commander, have left Deng City five days ago."

"It came so quickly."

Suddenly a bright light flashed in Zhai Kai's eyes, and then he suddenly turned around and returned to the map.

His eyes first looked at Deng City, then quickly moved north, and the name of a city appeared in his field of vision.

Wancheng.

…

Once there are ten thousand people, the sky is boundless.

On the flat wilderness, a long team meandered like a long snake, heading straight to the northeast.

On top of a chariot in this team, Yin Zhaoxi, the commander of the Chu State in armor, stood with his head held high, his eyes lightly passing over a famous soldier passing by.

After looking at it for a long time, Zhao Xixie asked a young man behind him softly: "How long will it take for our army to arrive at Wancheng?"

"grandfather……"

"Um!"

From the name given to Zhao Xixie, the identity of this young man is already obvious.

He is Zhao Xixie’s grandson, Zhao Yang.

When Zhaoyang heard Zhao Xixie's question, he was about to reply, but Zhao Xixie interrupted him as soon as he said the name.

Recalling the words his father had warned him before leaving, Zhaoyang immediately looked solemn and bowed forward with great solemnity.

"I am reporting to you, according to the marching speed of our army at this moment, we will arrive at Wancheng tomorrow."

After getting the answer here in Zhaoyang, Zhao Xixie's eyes turned slightly to the north, and a look of thinking flashed in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Xixie's command appeared in Zhaoyang's ear, "Order the entire army to speed up and make sure to arrive at Wancheng today."

"Follow orders."

The sun hanging in the sky disappeared under the mountains to the west, and the dark night gradually fell on the earth. In the end, Zhao Xixie's army successfully arrived at Wancheng.

In the main tent of the army, the commander-in-chief, Zhao Xishe, was currently leaning on several desks, writing a document to King Xiong Liangfu of Chu with the help of a burning lamp.

It was originally heard that the Wei State intended to go to war with South Korea. When the Wei State went to war, King Xiong Liangfu of Chu had just succeeded to the throne, and various forces in the country were still preparing to make a move.

In order to ensure that all energy was focused on internal stability, Chu State did not agree to send troops to assist South Korea when it sent envoys to ask for help.

But what the Chu monarchs and ministers did not expect was that the Wei army would be so powerful.

It was clear that the power of one country was fighting against two opponents. Not only was Wei able to not fall behind, it was also able to win one victory after another on the battlefield.

The power of the Wei State put great pressure on the Chu State in the south, which was preparing to invade the Central Plains in the future. It also gave the young Chu King Xiong Liangfu the idea of ​​sending troops north to test the strength of the Wei State while showing off its military power.

So, after much deliberation, King Xiong Liangfu of Chu finally decided to lead 50,000 elite troops north to Wei with Ling Yin Zhaoxixie as the main general.

Starting from Yingdu, the capital of the Chu State, Zhao Xixie led this army after a long journey and finally arrived at Wancheng, the core city of the Chu State in the Nanyang Basin.

At this moment, this army was not far from the border between Chu and Wei.

The ink pen wandered over the bamboo slips. After a while, Zhao Xixie carefully put the bamboo slips away and shouted outside the tent.

"Here comes someone."

After a few breaths, a soldier standing outside the tent quickly stepped into the tent and appeared in front of Zhao Xixie.

"Your Majesty."

After handing out the bamboo slips in his hand, Zhao Xixie commanded in a deep voice: "Send this bamboo slip back to Yingdu quickly and deliver it to the king without any mistakes."

"Follow orders."

After bowing and saluting, the guard disappeared into the tent, and at the next moment a hurried voice appeared in Zhao Xixie's ears.

"Report..."

Rushing straight into the big tent, Zhaoyang's young face was filled with eagerness, "Inform your Majesty, according to detailed reports hidden within Wei State, Wei State's 50,000 elite army has gone south.

.”
