Chapter 972: Push forward all the way!



Zhao Hao did not answer the Queen of Shu, but turned his gaze to Xie Daoxun beside him.

"Mr. Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Originally, Xie Daoxun was watching his nose with his ears and his heart with his nose, and had no intention of getting involved.

However, when he heard Zhao Hao's question, he raised his eyelids and looked towards Zhao Hao.

"These are issues that you should consider, Daoxun is not in a position to say more."

Before Zhao Hao could speak, the Empress of Shu could not help but frown and said, "Why, doesn't the Prime Minister want to restore the country?"

After a pause, she asked herself and answered, "That's right. After all, the Prime Minister is only the Prime Minister, not the King."

"In that case..."

She turned her head and looked at Zhao Hao again: "Husband, how about this, just help me restore my country, and then let the Prime Minister come to our Shu Kingdom, continue to be her Prime Minister, help me manage the government, and then I will have plenty of time to accompany my husband!"

After saying that, she rubbed her fair cheek against Zhao Hao's shoulder again.

Zhao Hao curled his lips and said, "Your Majesty has made a good calculation!"

The Empress of Shu Kingdom immediately said coquettishly: "Oh, my husband, just agree to it!"

This goblin.

As an empress, she can really lose face like this.

Seeing that Xie Daoxun did not give a direct answer, Zhao Hao felt that he could not stay any longer.

He immediately withdrew his arm and said, "Get ready. We will have a military lunch later."

After saying that, he quickly lifted his butt and jumped out of the car.

Having sat in the car for a long time, he simply did not get back on, but just sat beside it and followed the group.

After a while, Chen Yuliang also jumped out of the front carriage and walked up to him.

Zhao Hao couldn't help but ask: "Sir, the Anbu just sent a message that General Chu Yun and General Yu Ping of Da Gan are both rushing back to the army."

"At the same time, Dagan's southern army in Jianning City and Tongshan City are also returning to the Imperial Capital at full speed."

"It seems that he wants to fight us in the Imperial Capital."

Zhao Hao nodded slightly and said, "According to your opinion?"

Chen Yuliang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sir, by the time they complete their deployment, there will probably be more than 200,000 troops in the capital."

"Besides, they are on the defensive. I'm afraid it won't be easy to break through when the time comes!"

"I wonder if this is the way..."

As he spoke, he took out the map and spread it on the ground.

"Sir, please look!"

"There are two routes from Jianning City back to the Imperial Capital."

"One way goes from Qingyuan, and the other goes through Luyuan, but Luyuan is the shorter way."

“And now we are in this position.”

Chen Yuliang's finger pointed at a location on the map.

"Sir, if we march quickly for one day and two nights, we should be able to intercept them before they cross the Chu River."

"The army returning to Beijing from Jianning City should be around 40,000 people."

"If we can destroy them, it will save us a lot of trouble when we besiege the Imperial Capital."

Zhao Hao's eyes flickered, and he pondered for a while: "It's not impossible to march quickly for one day and two nights, but, can we still maintain our combat effectiveness under such a rapid march?"

This kind of long-distance raid, after a forced march, without any rest or recuperation, and immediately engaging in combat requires strong willpower and is not just a matter of ability.

Judging from the training of the Democratic Alliance Army, it should be possible to do it, but Zhao Hao is not confident whether it can be completed well.

Chen Yuliang said: "Sir, this is also a good opportunity to test the strength of our team!"

"Therefore, I think we can give it a try. Even if it is impossible, with our weapon advantage, we won't suffer much loss!"

Zhao Hao thought about it and felt that what Chen Yuliang said made sense.

This is how a team works. Only by going through repeated baptisms and breaking through limits time and time again, in this process, can it continuously improve its combat effectiveness.

At the same time, this was Chen Yuliang's idea, and it was a good idea, so he couldn't reject it arbitrarily, as this would dampen the other party's enthusiasm to a certain extent.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hao nodded and said, "Well, since you have made a decision, let's execute it according to your idea."

Hearing what Zhao Hao said, Chen Yuliang was overjoyed and quickly stood up and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will only lead 20,000 people over this time, and I will definitely succeed in destroying Dagan's army!"

Zhao Hao also stood up and nodded with a smile.

"If something cannot be done, there is no need to force it. Our main battlefield is still in the Great Capital."

"yes!"

"I understand!"

Chen Yuliang put away the map and immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing. Then he counted the 20,000 people and separated from the team.

Zhao Hao led another 20,000 people and started cooking.

After eating, he followed the direction of Chen Yuliang's rapid march.

Although Chen Yuliang had great confidence, he also had to provide some support to avoid any unexpected situations.

After a night and a day, at dusk, Zhao Hao was still more than 160 miles away from the battlefield selected by Chen Yuliang, and the scouts ahead reported the situation.

"Sir, General Chen has led his troops to the north bank of the Chu River and is about to engage in battle with the Dagan army."

After hearing the report, Zhao Hao nodded: "Speed up the march tonight!"

After the order was given, the troops began to march rapidly.

After a night of rapid march, around dawn, the scouts ahead reported again that after a night of fierce fighting, more than 10,000 enemies were killed, 10,000 soldiers were captured, and the remaining troops were less than 20,000, who fled frantically towards Jianning.

Hearing this, Zhao Hao was overjoyed and slowed down the march.

At noon, the two troops met on the north bank of Chushui River.

Chen Yuliang and Zhao Hao gave another detailed report.

Because the battle was fought at night, the Democratic Alliance suffered nearly two thousand casualties.

However, among these two thousand people, more than three hundred died and the rest were injured.

Among them, there were nearly five hundred seriously injured, and the remaining more than one thousand were all considered lightly injured and could continue to fight with the troops.

Zhao Hao nodded and accepted the result.

After all, this was a long-distance raid, and they were facing an army that was more than twice their own.

To achieve such a result is already very brilliant.

After such an experience, the combat effectiveness of the Democratic Alliance Army will definitely be greatly enhanced.

After resting for three days and forcibly requisitioning dozens of ferry boats near Chushui, the army began to cross the river.

Because there were too few ferries, the 40,000 people had to cross the river day and night for a whole day and night before they finally reached the north bank of the Chu River.

Continuing northward, it is still more than 600 miles away from reaching the capital of Dagan.

You need to pass three levels and twelve cities.

However, now that the troops have been withdrawn, almost all effective combat power has been withdrawn to the Imperial Capital.

According to the report from the Anbu scouts, there are only a small number of troops left in the three levels.

This poses almost no effective threat to the Democratic Alliance Army.

The Democratic League Army marched northwards and successfully advanced in less than half a month.
