Zhao Hao said calmly: "Just do as the prince says. The prince is busy first, Zhao Hao will not disturb you!"
After saying this, he took Wu Song, Qingniao, and a group of guards and headed towards his carriage.
After entering the carriage, Bluebird let out a long breath.
Then, he looked at Zhao Hao and said, "My Lord, that was too thrilling just now!"
Zhao Hao smiled softly and said, "Why, Miss Qingniao, as the captain of the Qingqi, is also afraid?"
The blue bird said: "After all, we are in the Shu army. Just as Chen Zhan said, one mouthful of spit from each person can drown us."
At this point, her eyes suddenly flashed, and she quickly asked, "My Lord, what hidden weapon did you use just now?"
"With a loud bang, I didn't even see clearly, but blood was already gushing out of Chen Zhan's thigh!"
"Looking at the situation, even if his leg is cured, I'm afraid he won't be able to function like a normal person!"
Zhao Hao said calmly: "It's nothing, just a little gadget."
Hearing this, Qingniao hurriedly said, "My Lord, this is no small thing. If such a powerful hidden weapon is used in the army, have you ever thought about how terrible it would be?"
Zhao Hao shook his head: "Not everything is suitable for use in the military. My hidden weapon has a very short range."
"It's not even half the power of a normal arrow. It has no use on the battlefield."
He was not wrong in saying this.
He made this thing by hand before leaving for Shu State, as time was tight.
Very rough.
It's good enough that it can be used, but at most it can only hit a few dozen meters.
If it's really more than a hundred meters away, it won't have much killing power.
Moreover, don't use it too many times.
Of course, there is a lot of room for improvement.
After hearing what Zhao Hao said, Bluebird suddenly became like a deflated ball, with a look of disappointment on his face.
In her opinion, if it couldn't even reach half the distance of the arrow, it would be really useless.
On the side, Wu Song said, "Master, now that we have offended that old fellow Xiaoyao Wang, nothing will happen, right?"
Zhao Hao shook his head: "Nothing, he hasn't got the method of making thunder bombs from me yet."
"Now he has his eyes on this hidden weapon I took out."
"The old man is cunning and the old horse is slippery. He knows what is important and what is not."
If Zhao Hao wasn't completely sure, he wouldn't have lost his temper just now.
Of course, having said that, if it weren't for King Xiaoyao's connivance, Chen Zhan would never dare to act rashly with him.
If he doesn't show some attitude, people will look down on him. Not only will they look down on him, but they will also look down on Da Gan.
By then, even if the two armies cooperated in reaching Tongshan, there would be no good results.
First establish your authority and let the old prince adjust his mindset, which will be beneficial in the future.
Early the next morning, scouts reported that 10,000 Wu troops were waiting outside Xiegu, ready to attack.
King Xiaoyao ordered the army to continue marching towards Xiegu.
At this time, the Wu army could not spare many troops to stop the attack.
Ten thousand people, facing the 50,000-strong army of Shu, could delay the enemy for some time, but they could not stop them in the end.
After walking for half a day, they were still about forty miles away from Xiegu, so King Xiaoyao ordered the army to stop and not go any further.
If we continue marching, we will reach Xiegu before dusk.
However, if the enemy takes advantage of our lack of energy, there will probably be a lot of casualties.
Therefore, it is better to move forward slowly.
After the central army stopped, there were still 5,000 vanguard troops that continued to move forward until they reached a place 20 miles away from Xiegu, where they stopped.
This was to serve as a warning and buffer in response to the Wu army's surprise attack.
On Zhao Hao's side, some secret agents sent by Bluebird have also returned.
Reported the situation in Xiegu in detail.
The Wu army had no intention of attacking and only wanted to fight the Shu army in Xiegu.
After getting the information, Zhao Hao fell into deep thought again.
He really couldn't understand why Xie Daoxun made such an arrangement.
What is your intention?
However, the mystery was soon solved.
The next day, they cooked at three o'clock in the morning and set out at four o'clock. When the central army came within twenty miles of Xiegu and stopped again, a message came.
Behind the army, 10,000 Wu guards appeared and were rushing towards Yakua Mountain.
Want to cut off the Shu army's retreat.
After receiving the report, King Xiaoyao was shocked and immediately sent out 10,000 rear troops to return at full speed to occupy the advantageous terrain of Yaku Mountain to prevent the Wu army from attacking from the front and back.
At this time, everyone suddenly realized why the Wu army was guarding in Xiegu and pretending to use 10,000 troops to block the Shu army in Xiegu.
The intention was to lure the Shu army to Xiagu, and then use 10,000 imperial guards to attack from the front and back.
It is worth mentioning that if there had not been the conflict the day before, Wu Jun’s strategy of attacking from both sides would have probably succeeded.
Because there were no spies left behind by the army.
The reason why the 10,000 Wu imperial guards were discovered was because after Chen Shan was seriously injured, he was sent out of the army.
The soldiers escorting Chen Zhan discovered the Wu's imperial guards after they passed Yaju Mountain.
The Imperial Guard was responsible for guarding the capital of Wu State and was directly under the emperor.
Generally speaking, it is absolutely impossible to leave the capital and appear here.
This must be Xie Daoxun's plan.
He wanted to ensure that he could continue to encircle Tongshan while at the same time defeating the 50,000 reinforcements from Shu Kingdom on the way.
After understanding everything, Zhao Hao and King Xiaoyao both let out a long breath.
What a good plan!
What a pity.
Man proposes, God disposes.
Zhao Hao actually had a conflict with Chen Zhan and seriously injured the other party.
As a result, the Shu army discovered Wu Guo's 10,000 imperial guards in advance.
Zhao Hao and King Xiaoyao both understood the unpleasantness of that day very well, as if it had never happened.
At this moment, inside the commander's tent, after King Xiaoyao issued the military order, the messenger hurried out.
King Xiaoyao looked at Zhao Hao and said, "She made a mistake in getting in and out. I'm afraid that the female prime minister of Wu would never have thought that her meticulous plan would fail in an accident."
Zhao Hao said, "Your Highness, as long as we occupy the Yaju Pass, it shouldn't be a problem for 5,000 soldiers to stop the 10,000 guards of Wu, right?"
"I wonder how strong the Wu Kingdom's Imperial Guard is?"
King Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Lord Zhao, don't worry."
"The combat capability of the Wu Kingdom's Imperial Guard must be extremely powerful."
"If you're not strong, you can't become a Royal Guard."
"Of course, they are better at defense and guarding the city."
"They don't have enough experience in a field battle like this, so they may not be very powerful."
"Plus, we have occupied advantageous terrain in advance, so there will be absolutely no problem in stopping them."
"For us, the 10,000 Wu troops in front of us are the real tough nut to crack."
"I plan to launch an attack tomorrow, at the fastest speed, and try to break through the Xiegu in one fell swoop."
"I wonder what you think, sir?"
Zhao Hao quickly shook his head and said, "It's up to the prince to decide."
