No words all night.

On the second day, it was dawn.

Wang Kang led a large army from Daxincheng and officially prepared to return to Zhao and recover the lost territory!

Time is tight, and the heart is like an arrow.

After the imperial examinations ended, I left Kyoto and went to Pengcheng. From late autumn, it was almost winter. After so long, I left Zhao and left home.

Now I'm finally going back.

Wang Kang knew very well.

While saving Zhao State, you are saving yourself.

My family and my roots are all in Zhao State. They prosper and all the same things will be lost!

If the State of Zhao is destroyed, the building will collapse, or Ling Tiance's purpose is achieved, then he will definitely not have a good end, and the same is true for his family.

So he has to do his best!

There is no doubt about this.

The continental change is about to begin, and the mysterious Taishang Sect... all these indicate that troubled times will arise!

And in this battle, he also needs to accumulate strength and expand his power!

He has begun to grow ambitions. This is not his subjective will, but forced by form. Only when he becomes stronger can he survive!

Wang Kang's face was calm and stern, his eyes were like a knife, and he was determined!

I hope Zhao can hold on and hold him back...

Time has come to the end of December and the real cold winter has entered.

The north wind is howling and the cold wind is bitter.

The wind is mixed with snowflakes, slapped on people's faces, causing a faint pain!

Even though it is already south, it is still very cold.

winter.

It was the time of cultivation and was the least suitable for war, but this happened this winter.

According to the original rhythm, Wang Kang should have been lying on the hot kang, hugging his wife, messing with his maid, and living a shameless life for the rich young master.

But this feeling has been a long time since.

Lin Yuyan's belly should be very big. She is pregnant for ten months and now it's almost half a year.

And Xiaotao...

And her mother, she should be very worried about herself. Without her own news, how should she spend every day?

Wang Kang suddenly missed homesickly.

I want to be Xinfengcheng. When the war here ends, he must be a rich young master for a few days and live a good life...

"General, we are expected to arrive in Nanbin County in the afternoon."

At this time, Lin Zhen came over.

Wang Kang took back his thoughts and threw out the rest of his thoughts. It was not the time to think about these things. The most important thing now is to drive Yan out and quell the war...

Hearing this, Wang Kang recalled the military pictures he saw last night.

Nanbin County is the southernmost place in Xishan Province. It is adjacent to Yan State. When the Yan State army attacked, it was the first to be hit.

Wang Kang asked, "Are you going to Shiwen Pass?"

"yes!"

Wang Kang was slightly stunned, remembering the question of Zheng Zhiming, the lord of Daxin City yesterday, and heard what he said about the situation of the battle at that time.

Shiwen Pass is a border pass that guards the throat of Yan and Zhao, and 100,000 troops are stationed here.

In fact, there is no conflict between Yan and Zhao, and there are only a handful of conflicts between the two sides.

The three kingdoms of Yue, Zhao and Yan were the weakest. The old Emperor Zhao, who was in power at that time, looked down on him at all. His goal was to be on Yue.

Therefore, Yan and Zhao are relatively harmonious. Yan State attaches importance to commercial development. The Xishan Province is also economically developed, which makes the two places interoperable and close contacts!

But this time, Yan State launched a war against Zhao State without warning, and there was no original reason.

In ancient times, the word "one meaning" was emphasized.

Great righteousness, name!

It was as if Zhao did not want to pay compensation to Yue, but he could not raise it first. He could only force Yue to tear it up first.

If you don’t have a status, you will not be able to take over and you will be disgraced.

But Yan State does not pay attention to these things.

Although it was expected, there was no warning and caught off guard.

The 300,000 army was launched and broke through the gateway Shiwen Pass in one fell swoop.

The soldiers guarding the pass fought bloody battles, but they still could not stop them, and the casualties were extremely heavy...

Wang Kang sighed softly and said, "As a border guard, 100,000 is really too small."

And it’s not just here. As a complete country, the military system of Zhao State is really too bad!

It’s like the border of Vietnam, all the defenders combined have only a total of 150,000 people.

This amount of troops is still too difficult to face the national war.

Wang Kang also knew the reason for this situation. In fact, Zhao State was quite powerful at its peak.

Zhao State also had quite a lot of troops, but many years ago, he was crippled in one fell swoop during a battle with Chu State.

In that battle, Zhao State lost nearly 400,000 troops, but in the face of the powerful Chu State, it was still defeated, and the entire Donglin Province was lost!

Since then, Zhao State has been greatly damaged!

It was originally supposed to be to regain energy, rest and develop again.

However, the reigning Emperor Zhao was depressed due to his defeat against Chu, but he did not dare to do anything to Chu, so he set his target on Yue Kingdom.

Years of war have been to satisfy his great achievements, but they have also dragged down the national strength of Zhao step by step, forming the current situation...

Of course it is not the only one.

Before Zhao State, there was a very powerful army, known as Zhao Wushu!

Zhao State is located in the Central Plains, with a lack of war horses and cavalry behind, but Zhao State has infantry.

The elite of the infantry is called Zhao Wuzhu!

Zhao Wuzhu was not an ordinary infantry, but a heavy infantry!

Wearing heavy armor, holding swords, carrying crossbows, and crossing arrows, can be said to be well-equipped, and is considered the most elite and tough army in the entire continent.

Win more with less, and be invincible!

It is the cornerstone of Zhao State.

But while this army is powerful, it also requires a huge amount of money, and it is built entirely.

The soldiers selected for the military servants not only exempted their entire family from taxes and labor service, but also rewarded their land, houses and real estate.

Equipment better than others, strong soldier qualities, and army created.

As the national strength weakens, it is difficult for Zhao Wushu to maintain, and because the recruitment system that Wushu adapts to is equivalent to professional soldiers.

As a result, it became a heavy burden for the country, and was finally forced to announce the dissolution of Zhao Wuzhu...

As a result, this army that made great contributions to Zhao State and made a famous name became the past...

Wang Kang did not experience this history, but learned from Shen Yuanchong, but in his opinion, it did not seem that simple.

There should be other major reasons behind the end of Zhao Wuzhu, because this army does not completely belong to the court.

It was first established by the first generation of Dingguo Duke, Ling Baxian, and later passed down from generation to generation. It has always been controlled by the Dingguo Duke Mansion!

How can outsiders control the country's powerful weapon?

There must be some unknown secrets in this...

After that, Dingguo Mansion, which has always been known as the pillar of the country, lost its greatest support and gradually retreated and disappeared from the eyes of the people!

As a result, Zhao State declined to what it is now. Even if it was stationed on the border, there were only a small number of troops...

Thoughts flashed, Wang Kang threw out his distracting thoughts. These are the past history, and next he was going to create a new history...
Chapter completed!
