General Zhendong entered the prefect's mansion and sat in the middle of the lobby without hesitation. Looking at Zhao Kai who was brought in, he asked:

"Have you sent a messenger to Jixian?"

Zhao Kai was stunned. He didn't expect that the first sentence that General Zhendong didn't ask was this.

But when I thought about it, it was reasonable.

So he answered honestly:

"I saw wolf smoke yesterday and sent a quick horse."

General Zhendong thought about the time when the gates were lit, and then asked:

"How far is Yuyang from Jixian?"

"Baili."

I quickly calculated it in my heart, that is to say, if Jixian gets the news, I will send reinforcements immediately and will arrive at noon tomorrow as early as tomorrow.

If you march normally, you can reach it almost at dusk.

Thinking of this, General Zhendong asked again:

"What is the comparison between the Jixian garrison and the Yuyang garrison?"

Of course Zhao Kai wants to say he doesn't know.

Just listening to Guan Yihu, who was sitting on the head, his tone was calm, but he had a momentum that was forced and undeniable.

Now, I can only continue to say honestly:

"The war has been tense in the past few months. Most of the defenders in Yuyang were transferred to the Northwest Pass, so many county soldiers were temporarily recruited."

"Ji County is the prefecture of Youzhou, which may be stronger than Yuyang, but it is limited. After all, in recent years, the Youzhou border has been peaceful and war-free, and its military facilities are a bit relaxed..."

General Zhendong smiled faintly when he heard this.

A little relaxed?

That doesn't look like "some".

But this is no wonder.

The Han Dynasty put too much pressure on the west side, and Sun Wu in the south often made some moves, which forced the pseudo-Wei to put its main force in the west, followed by the southeast.

If you are weak in the northern pass, you can only be comforted.

More importantly, after Ke Bi Neng turned against the pseudo-Wei, he should have continued to cause trouble to the Youzhou border, but unexpectedly, he was deceived by someone from Feng to Jiuyuan, in the name of helping him recuperate.

It has indirectly helped Youzhou maintain the peace of the border.

Of course, Mr. Feng did not cheat Ke Bi Neng, but he really helped Ke Bi Neng recuperate.

But after resting, Mr. Feng came over to get the price he had secretly won the bid.

Now, General Zhendong has come to Youzhou to collect the price he secretly won the bid for Youzhou in his early years.

"From Yuyang to Jixian, can there be a place suitable for setting up ambush?"

Ah, this...

Zhao Kai was silent for a moment, and it could be seen that he was still a little resistant:

"Yes, there is a mountain between Jixian and Yuyang County, called Hunu Mountain. There is a pass on the mountain, and the narrowest part is only six feet away. It is the best place to set up an ambush."

When Zhao Guang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and looked at General Zhendong.

Unexpectedly, Zhendong's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly and asked:

"Your surname is Zhao? Who is your person?"

The question was a bit abrupt, which made Zhao Kai slightly stunned, and seemed to be unable to react, but he still answered:

"The villain comes from Zhuo County, Hebei."

Although the Zhao family in Hebei is not as famous as the Li family in the Cui family in the Fan family in the Li family, it can be regarded as having a long history, which can be traced back to the royal family of Zhao during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Sima Yi took over Hebei. If he wanted to gain a foothold in Hebei as quickly as possible, he had to compromise with the Hebei tribes.

It is natural for the children of Hebei to control the key positions of local counties and counties.

"Zhuo County," General Zhendong's tone became a little serious, and he stood up at the same time, "That is the ancestral home of my Great Han Emperor Zhaolie. I didn't expect you to be a fellow villager with me Great Han Emperor Zhaolie."

"As far as I know, the Zhao family of Zhuo County has always had a tradition of selling horses from outside the Great Wall to the mainland. When Emperor Zhaolie raised his army in the early years, he also funded Emperor Zhaolie and sent a lot of horses."

When Zhao Kai heard this, his face became extremely complicated.

Seeing this, General Zhendong asked meaningfully, "Do you know that I, the Five Tiger General of the Great Han Dynasty?"

"Who doesn't know about Guan, Zhang, Zhao, Ma, Huang?"

General Zhendong pointed at Zhao Guang, "This is Zhao Yiwen, the second son of Old General Zhao."

Zhao Kai turned his head to look at him, but saw that Zhao Guang was also looking at him with strange eyes.

Zhao Kai was shocked:

"Could it be Zhao Sanqian, who led three thousand iron cavalry to break through the 100,000 army?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guang couldn't help but straighten his chest.

“That’s right.”

"The honest tiger will be the same."

General Zhendong smiled slightly:

"When General Zhao followed Emperor Zhaolie, he was valued by Emperor Zhaolie and was taken as the main cavalry. Many of his troops came from the Zhao family in Zhuo County."

Zhao Kai reacted faintly, and suddenly felt his heart beating a little, and he couldn't help swallowing.

"Jun Zhao, as you see, are these soldiers under my command considered elite soldiers?"

"It's not an elite soldier, but a tiger or wolf."

"There are seven thousand iron cavalry who followed me into Youzhou this time. As you see, can anyone in Hebei fight me?"

Zhao Kai was silent for a while and replied:

"If the soldiers from Hebei are raised and the Taifu is led by him, how can the general have the power to fight?"

After saying this, Zhao Kai secretly glanced at General Zhendong, but General Zhendong was not angry, and then continued:

"However, now all the elite soldiers in Hebei gather east of Taihang, and it is difficult to travel east. With the ability of the general, they lead the army of tigers and wolves across Youzhou, and there is no one who can stop them."

"That's right." General Zhendong said slowly, "So, Mr. Zhao, can you tell me now, where is the most suitable reinforcements from Jixian County?"

With Han Long, an old Youzhou native, and with Ji Yang and Ji Hui, General Zhendong could not understand Youzhou, at least he had some understanding of the main county towns and the main transportation routes.

The official road between Ji County and Yuyang County, Hunu Mountain Pass is indeed the most suitable place to set up an ambush.

Zhao Kai did not lie before, but it was too late to go to the Hunu Mountain Pass at this time.

Because Yuyang County is about fifty miles away from Hunu Mountain Pass.

In other words, by time, the reinforcements from Ji County had already passed the Hunu Mountain Pass at this time.

Zhao Kai's body trembled, and finally his legs became weak and he crawled down:

"I dare not hide it from the general. After passing Hunu Mountain, if you want to go to Yuyang, you must pass through Gushui (Baihe) and Baoqiu (Chaohe)."

(Note: During the Three Kingdoms period, the Chaobai River had not yet formed a stable convergence. The modern convergence section was formed many times in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The ancient Baoqiu water and Gu water flowed into the sea alone, and were parallel water systems north of today's Tongzhou)

"There are three ferry crossings in these two rivers, namely Baoqiu Ferry, five miles away from Yuyang, Gujin Ferry, seven miles, and Miyun Ferry, twelve miles."

"If you set up an ambush at these three places and hit it halfway through, you will definitely succeed."

"Good!" General Zhendong sat down again with satisfaction and asked, "Where will people from Jixian cross the water according to Zhao Jun's opinion?"

There was one, then two. Zhao Kai smiled bitterly, but finally let go of his last psychological burden and replied:

"Baoqiu Du, five miles south of Yuyang, has the narrowest water surface and a floating bridge is the most convenient."

"Okay!" General Zhendong said with a high-high, "Since that's the case, I will follow what Zhao Jun said and ambush the people from Ji County. I wonder if Zhao Jun is willing to help me?"

Zhao Kai kowtowed:

"General, Kaixuan escaped with his life. If he had the opportunity to abandon the violent and enmity, how dare he not do his best to help the general?"

Zhao Kai is naturally not a fool to be able to sit in the position of prefect.

Hebei is finished.

When Guan Yihu led 7,000 Han cavalry into Youzhou, no matter how slow the person was, he could see that Hebei was settled.

Guan Yihu deliberately mentioned Emperor Zhaolie and Zhao Yun, one of the Five Tiger Generals, and Zhao Kai had already fully understood the meaning.

Since the Han Dynasty is nostalgic and does not fall in love with the Han Dynasty at this time, should we still survive and die with the pseudo-Wei?

When Emperor Zhao of Zhuo County raised his army, he had already proved his loyalty to the Han Dynasty.

And I naturally want to continue to prove my loyalty!

Of course, it would be even better if the Zhao family could be led to glory by the way.
To be continued...
