Wei and Jin cooks

Wu Liang imitated the chirping of birds and responded with a secret code. The two of them went back and forth to find out the news from each other. Wu Liang did not tell him that this was the Zhao family army led by Zhao Hanzhang himself. He only said that they were taking orders from Chen County.

When he stopped talking, Wu Liang reported to Zhao Hanzhang: "Envoy, they said they are the Zhao family army in Luoyang."

Zhao Hanzhang had already heard that the people brought out by Luoyang were not with her, but with Zhao Erlang and Zeng Yue. Are they Zeng Yue's men?

Or did Erlang break Ningling?

But you can't come here, right?

After waiting for a while, there was a rustle in the forest, and soon a person emerged.

Zhao Jun all stood facing him and looked at him warily.

He also looked at them warily, his eyes passing over their clothes and weapons. When he saw the weapons they were holding, he relaxed a little.

Clothes can be faked, but the weapons of the Zhao family are not easily faked. Unless they are captured after a great defeat, it will be difficult to obtain the weapons produced by the Zhao family.

When he walked further in, he immediately spotted Zhao Hanzhang in the dark night with sharp eyes. His eyes were bright and he rushed forward two steps. When Wu Liang and others pressed the scabbard with their hands and were about to pull out the sword, he knelt on the ground and said loudly : "Girl, I humble Niu Qing to pay my respects to the girl."

Only the servants of the Zhao family and the first tribe would call her Zhao Hanzhang, and those who followed her would call her governor or envoy. Zhao Hanzhang squinted and recognized the person, "Niu Qing? Where is Yuan Li?"

Niu Qing said excitedly: "General Yuan Shen is in the village, girl. We have found King Yuzhang and King Qin."

After seeing Niu Qing's face clearly, Wu Liang and others released their hands from the scabbard.

Zhao Hanzhang asked about the situation of Yuan Li and others, and immediately decided to move the entire army to rest for the night in the village where Yuan Li and others were.

Yuan Li and the others are more than ten miles away from here. If they take the trail, they are only seven or eight miles away.

It was an empty village. It must have been raided by the Shi Army and everyone in it ran away. It was close to Sui County and even closer to Xiayi County. There were many ways to escape.

Shi Jun still has two checkpoints below. According to the captured Shi Jun, Zhixiong chose this road to gather the Shi Jun from the two checkpoints and take them out of Meng County to Xiayi County.

Like Zhao Hanzhang, he believed that Shi Le's long absence from supporting Meng County was probably because he was held back by Zhao Ju.

But he believed that even if Shi Le was held back, he would still have the upper hand, and Zhao Ju would not be able to get any favors from him, so he had to take the rest with him to join Shi Le.

Niu Qing and several personal guards returned to the village to inform Yuan Li first, but in fact they were only a quarter of an hour faster than Zhao Hanzhang.

Otherwise, if the army approaches, with Yuan Li's caution, he will definitely run away with his people first.

Sure enough, as soon as Niu Qing entered the village, he saw Yuan Li and others taking King Yuzhang and King Qin with them and were about to escape. When Niu Qing reported that it was Zhao Hanzhang who came, Yuan Li stopped.

Still doubtful, he glanced over the guards, held his knife beside King Yuzhang, and said to another comrade: "Old Meng, you go to the front to greet them, Lao Niu stays."

Lao Meng agreed and quickly blended into the forest with his knife.

Niu Qing didn't feel offended. He had been with Yuan Li since the old patriarch was still alive. He knew his suspicious temper. Unless he killed the enemy head-on on the battlefield, he would be suspicious of everyone, oh, except Shi Jun. .

Soon, Lao Meng ran back and said happily: "I saw the girl on the horse."

"See clearly?"

"See clearly. The general knows that my eyesight is best at night."

This was one of the reasons why Yuan Li sent him.

Yuan Li was finally sure, so he immediately led people out of the village entrance to meet Zhao Hanzhang.

Xun Fan and Xun Zu couldn't help but look at each other and followed closely beside King Qin, wanting to remind him to pay attention to his behavior.

King Qin felt uneasy, but he did not intend to listen to his two uncles. He really did not want to be the emperor.

Zhao Hanzhang dismounted, and Yuan Li immediately brought people forward to salute. Xunfan and Xunzu also hurriedly gathered around King Qin and King Yuzhang to come up. After she stood still, several people bowed and said hello.

Zhao Hanzhang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that both King Yuzhang and King Qin were safe and sound. He stepped forward and helped them up. King Qin and King Yuzhang turned pale and couldn't help but take a step back. The little hands held by Zhao Hanzhang were shaking slightly.

Zhao Jun had just experienced a war, and his body was filled with a bloody aura. Even if Zhao Hanzhang was smiling, the two young princes could feel the murderous aura and hostility in her body.

Zhao Hanzhang noticed it, let go of his hand, took two steps back, separated a safe distance, smiled and saluted the two of them, and said in a gentle tone: "The two young princes have a rest first, and we will come back to talk after the general has settled down the army. talk."

King Qin and King Yuzhang were eager to see this, and the two brothers immediately left hand in hand.

Xun Fan and Xun Zu were unable to stop him, so they could only step forward to plead guilty to Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang comforted them with a gentle voice, and when they were no longer so uneasy, he looked at Yuan Li and praised: "Well done, you have made a great contribution this time."

Yuan Li said calmly, "This is the duty that the general should fulfill."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, walked aside with him, and understood the situation with him.

Yuan Li led two teams of elite soldiers, totaling 200 people, all of whom were elite members of the Zhao family's army. Unexpectedly, they were the only ones left in the end.

Yuan Li was also a little depressed, "In addition to those who died in the battle, there are many people who were separated after the war, or who diverted the pursuers for us. I feel that they are all still alive."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "I will send an order to the counties to ask them to pay attention to the people who come to the county government for help. Maybe they can be recalled."

Zhao Hanzhang looked at King Qin and King Yuzhang beside the fire in the room, raised his chin slightly and asked, "How are you two young princes?"

There were too many Sima family members. Although these princes were princes, few had real power, so Zhao Hanzhang rarely knew these people.

Historically……

Both Emperor Min and King Yuzhang in history died young. Not to mention showing their own value, their lives were in the hands of others. Some were just announcements issued in their names, representing the thoughts of the forces behind them. , not theirs.

There are very few records in history, and Zhao Hanzhang could not get much from them.

Yuan Li whispered: "The two young princes are one year apart. Although King Qin is weak, he still has his own ideas. King Yuzhang is young and listens to others."

He said: "He also knows his kindness. He knows that it was the envoy who saved him, and he is very close to and trusts the envoy."

It is implied that King Yuzhang is more suitable to be the next emperor.

Zhao Hanzhang was speechless and turned around to enter the house.

The four people sitting by the fire immediately stood up. Xun Fan and Xun Zu wanted to speak, but they saw that Zhao Hanzhang only looked down at King Qin and King Yuzhang, with a bloody aura about him, and occasionally raised his eyes to look into their eyes. Still gleaming with coldness, the two of them were so trembling that they didn't dare to speak.

King Qin and King Yuzhang were so nervous that they scratched their toes on the ground.

Zhao Hanzhang seemed to not be able to see it. She stepped forward and found a seat to sit down. Seeing that the two of them were still standing, she pointed to her side and said, "You two young princes, please take a seat."

This is the last update tonight, see you tomorrow
