The journey was originally expected to take one day and one night, but the group of more than 300 people actually took a full day and two nights.
It was almost nightfall on the third day when we finally arrived at the foot of the mountain we had planned to visit.
Zhao Hao and others did not rush to climb the mountain, but rested for a night at the foot of the mountain.
The next morning, we started climbing the mountain. The mountain was at least 500 meters high and there was no ready-made road.
Everyone could only grope for the path and climb up slowly.
We started climbing in the morning, but we still hadn't reached the top of the mountain until noon.
They finally climbed up when the sun was about to set, and more than a dozen Shu soldiers fell down on the way.
It's terrifying to watch.
It’s really nice. There is a small, relatively flat open space on the top of this mountain.
Everyone assembled the big kite as quickly as possible.
However, the space was not big and there was no room for running.
After feeling the wind speed, Zhao Hao told everyone, "Rest on the top of the mountain for one night. When the wind picks up tomorrow morning, we'll fly the kite to Tongshan City."
After saying this, he looked far away in the direction of Tongshan City.
Because the distance was too far, I could only get a rough idea of the situation inside the city, but couldn't see the specific situation clearly.
There are a total of six Wu army camps around Tongshan City, and two are Southern Chu army camps.
An army of eighty to ninety thousand surrounded the entire Tongshan City in three layers inside and outside, making it impossible for any one to get out.
Qingniao and Wu Song walked behind Zhao Hao, and Qingniao couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "My Lord, this place is probably seven or eight miles away from Tongshan City. Are you sure you can fly over there?"
"Once you fail, you will be captured."
"My Lord, please think twice."
Wu Song also nodded and said, "Sir, what Miss Blue Bird said makes sense. This matter is of great importance."
"Besides, there must be a lot of pressure inside Tongshan City right now. If you fly above Tongshan City, the defenders in the city may attack you for some reason."
“These are all variables.”
Zhao Hao waved his hands and said, "There is no other way. We have to take this risk. I said before that if we send someone else, General Chu Yun may not be able to gain their trust."
A night passed, and on the next morning, Zhao Hao called over a leader of the Shu army.
"I will personally fly to Tongshan City. After I leave, you can go back first."
"Remember to be careful and don't let Wu Jun find out."
Upon hearing this, the leader of the Shu army changed his expression and asked, "My Lord, are you going to fly to Tongshan City in person?"
"This is too dangerous. Never."
Zhao Hao immediately interrupted and said, "General, please stop talking. I have made up my mind. Among these people, I am the only one who is familiar with General Chu Yun."
"So, only I can go there in person to convince General Chu Yun that the Shu army is preparing to cooperate with him from inside and outside."
The Shu army leader quickly shook his head and said, "My Lord, no matter what reason you give, I cannot agree to your going there in person."
"Before I came out, I promised the prince that I would ensure your safety."
"If anything happens to the Marquis, I won't be able to explain to King Xiaoyao!"
"Please don't embarrass me, my Lord."
Zhao Hao smiled softly and said, "I appreciate the general's kindness, but this time, I must go there in person."
"Okay, that's settled."
As he spoke, Zhao Hao walked towards the big kite that had already been assembled.
At this moment, the young leader of the Shu army clapped his hands, and the other fifteen or sixteen Shu army soldiers immediately drew their weapons and quickly surrounded Zhao Hao and his men.
Zhao Hao turned his head and looked at the other party: "General, what are you doing?"
The Shu army's young leader said, "My Lord, if you insist on doing this, don't blame us for offending you!"
"I would rather forcibly send you back to King Xiaoyao and have you and King Xiaoyao severely punished than let you take any risks."
Zhao Hao smiled and shook his head: "Don't say that. I know that your prince is worried that I will escape."
"But don't worry, go back and tell King Xiaoyao that since I, Zhao Hao, have promised to do something, I will not return."
"Besides, my personal guards are still here, how can I just ignore it?"
The Shu army leader said with a grim expression, "My Lord, I don't know what you are talking about. The order given to me by King Xiaoyao is for you to return safely."
"My Lord, please don't make things difficult for me!"
Zhao Hao shook his head helplessly and looked at Wu Song and Blue Bird.
The two of them immediately understood and took action.
Not far away, several Qingqi guards immediately joined in.
Almost in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Shu soldiers were knocked to the ground, without any power to resist.
Zhao Hao looked at the Shu army leader lying on the ground and said, "Why does it have to be like this?"
The Shu army leader said, "Because of this, I can't stop the Marquis."
Hearing this, Zhao Hao's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked with interest: "What's your name?"
The young leader said, "My surname is Zhang and my given name is Ye. I was born in Yecheng, the most northwestern city of Shu, so I took the character Ye."
Zhao Hao nodded and said, "Very good, Zhangye, I will remember this. After I leave, you will return to the army immediately."
After saying that, Zhao Hao walked to the big kite, and several guards helped to prop up the kite.
Zhao Hao first felt the wind force, and when he found it was OK, he stood under the big kite.
A moment later, a huge bird suddenly jumped down from the mountain and flew towards Tongshan City.
The total distance is seven or eight miles. If you walk along Zhongshan Road, it may take you half a day to reach the destination.
However, now flying in the sky, with the help of the wind speed, he reached the top of Tongshan City in almost the blink of an eye.
After circling the city, Zhao Hao directly chose a place that was most strictly guarded by soldiers in the city.
Then a pocket was dropped.
The soldiers below had already seen Zhao Hao hovering in the air, and they were all very alert to this incredible big kite. Many archers were mobilized and pointed at Zhao Hao.
Soon, the bag that Zhao Hao dropped was picked up by a soldier. After opening it, he immediately ran into the general's mansion.
Not long after, a familiar figure walked out quickly from inside.
It was Xiao Chuyun.
Xiao Chuyun quickly asked all the soldiers to retreat and make way.
In the sky, Zhao Hao, who had already circled three times, saw this and quickly controlled the big kite to dive down.
When it landed, the big kite broke into pieces. Fortunately, Zhao Hao was quick-witted and got out of it in advance. When it was about to land, he rolled forward and avoided being injured.
Xiao Chuyun hurried over excitedly and shouted, "Brother Zhao, it really is you!"
As he said this, he hurried over and helped Zhao Hao up personally.
Zhao Hao was covered in dirt, showing his white teeth, and said happily: "Brother Xiao, isn't it me!"
