Zhao Yuan said, "This morning we gave the Liao army a crushing defeat."
"The Liao Kingdom probably wouldn't dare to move south."
"However, the situation in the Northwest is worrying,"
"The Western Xia mobilized 400,000 troops to invade,"
"General Zhong can only retreat to Qin Feng Road."
"We must get to Weizhou without stopping,"
"Support General Zhong."
"Is anyone having any difficulties?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ruan Xiaoqi said,
"Wherever Your Majesty points, we will attack."
Li Kui also shouted, "That's right, who dares to say no?"
"Take this first. So what if it's just four hundred thousand men?"
"Brothers, let's get to it!"
"They were all cut down in a day."
As soon as Li Kui spoke,
The tent was instantly filled with the atmosphere of the martial arts world once again.
Zhao Yuan glared at Li Kui.
"If you disrespect your comrades again, you will be subject to military law."
Upon hearing this, Li Kui shut his mouth.
Lu Junyi said, "The army is marching north."
"No fighting has occurred,"
"Today's battle was easy."
"The army is ready to set off at any time."
The others, unafraid of battle, echoed his sentiments.
Zhao Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, since that's the case,"
"Then let's discuss the marching route,"
"We will set off tomorrow."
Han Cunbao said, "It's probably more than two thousand li to Weizhou."
"Even marching sixty li a day would take a month."
“If we take a detour, it will take even longer.”
"Therefore, I believe we can cross the Taihang Mountains directly,"
“Go through the east bank of the river, pass Yongxing Army, and go straight to Weizhou.”
"This way, the route is the shortest."
"This humble general has fought in Hedong for many years,"
"I am also familiar with the roads east of the river."
The safest route
Naturally, they traveled south from Hebei.
Moving westward from the Gyeonggi region,
Pass Yongxing Army, and arrive at Qinfeng Road.
This route passes through areas entirely under the jurisdiction of the Great Liang Dynasty.
However, going around the east bank of the river would add several hundred miles to the journey.
Dong Ping nodded in agreement.
"The Western Xia dispatched 400,000 troops,"
"General Zhong and his men are probably struggling to hold on,"
"Although Tian Hu caused trouble in Hedong,"
"But they couldn't stop us either."
Lu Junyi also said, "There's no time to lose."
“I also think we can go through the east bank of the river.”
Guan Sheng also said, "I am familiar with the roads in Hedong."
Zhao Yuan also felt that there was no major problem.
Just as he was about to make a decision,
Seeing Xu Guanzhong shake his head, he quickly said,
"What brilliant ideas does the strategist have?"
Xu Guanzhong said, "I think we shouldn't go to Hedong."
"I also traveled through Hedong a few years ago."
“The terrain east of the river is surrounded by mountains and is extremely dangerous.”
"Many places are so strategically important that one man can hold off ten thousand."
"As long as a few hundred people hold their ground,"
"It could make it impossible for us to move an inch for several days."
"Hedong not only had Tian Hu, but also many bandits,"
“These are remnants of the Song Dynasty, and they could all try to stop us.”
"Moreover, the roads east of the river are mostly mountainous,"
"The transportation of supplies is also very difficult."
Li Kui said discontentedly, "Who dares to block the way?"
"I'll cut a path with an axe."
Xu Guanzhong nodded and said, "I know that Your Majesty is invincible."
"No one can stop the King."
Chapter 1798 A Good Horse
"But the king fought his way through,"
"It will probably take quite some time,"
"I'm afraid it will take more time in the end than taking the detour."
"And the army is rushing to Weizhou."
"We're likely facing an attack from the Western Xia army soon,"
"We must conserve our energy as much as possible."
"Mountain roads are physically demanding,"
"If there are a few more battles,"
"I'm afraid when the army reaches the northwest,"
"We are no longer able to fight."
Zhao Yuan heard Xu Guanzhong say this,
I also realized that I had underestimated my opponent.
Since he took command of the troops
Invincible, and possessing divine strength,
They really are being incredibly arrogant.
He felt that no one in the world could stop him.
Therefore, I believe that what everyone said is correct.
There were people blocking it.
He could also lead his troops to attack.
To fight one's way out
But they forgot that the original intention of choosing this route was to save time.
If we really call...
It takes both time and energy.
Even if the generals can hold out,
The soldiers probably couldn't hold out either.
I'm afraid that after fighting for a while, the soldiers will need a day off.
When the generals heard Xu Guanzhong say this...
They all realized what was happening.
Han Cunbao nodded and said, "What you say is true, sir."
"It was my oversight; there are indeed many places across the east bank of the river that involve crossing mountains and valleys,"
"It's the most physically demanding, and it might not be faster than taking a detour."
Seeing that everyone had reacted, Zhao Yuan also spoke.
"Then we'll head south from Hebei, and then west."
……
The next day at dawn
The army then set off south.
Zhao Yuan appointed Lu Junyi as the commander-in-chief of the entire army.
He went to Tokyo alone.
speeding along,
Zhao Yuan actually entered Tokyo before the city gates closed.
This journey has covered a distance of a thousand miles.
Zhao Yuan kept changing horses on his way there.
It took three days to complete.
The mount was changed to the Jade Lion Horse that Shines Through the Night.
In just one day
It really does travel a thousand miles a day.
I'm back in Tokyo.
Zhao Yuan entered the city.
It's still a bit unbelievable.
However, even the Jade Lion Horse was exhausted.
