Heaven rewards those who work hard: There is no bottleneck in my martial arts

Chapter 179 Send troops to attack Zhao

The blue sky is vast and the white clouds are arranged like fish scales in the sky.

A bird with white feathers and a yellow beak flapped its wings and swooped down from the sky to the ground.

Passing through low bushes, crossing a five to six meter wide river, fluttering and slowing down, he landed on the top of a tower.

The flying bird jumped twice and looked down.

There are white tents on the ground, one after another, stretching for nearly a kilometer.

In the tower, there were soldiers fully armored, holding bows and arrows, scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

Their sights were like taut strings, as if they were ready to draw a bow and shoot an arrow at any time.

Suddenly they all stared at the gate of the camp.

The door of the camp slowly opened, and the noise of training in the camp poured out.

Along with the noise, a group of people came out.

"drive!"

Ji Guofu, who walked out of the Eastern Army camp, kept a calm face and whipped his whip fiercely.

The horse under the seat neighed in pain, suddenly accelerated its speed, and rushed out like an arrow.

The people behind him did not hesitate and hurriedly followed.

A strong wind blew against his face, and as the Eastern Army camp moved away, the coolness gradually relaxed Ji Guofu's spirit.

He did not expect that this time, the negotiation with Lu Zonghui would go so smoothly.

From beginning to end, Lu Zonghui never had any doubts about his identity and purpose.

This made Ji Guofu couldn't help but sigh that King Wu Zhao Hongming was really thorough in his work.

Thanks to multiple factors such as copper seals, letters, and subordinates, Lu Zonghui was completely deceived, and his operation completely met his original expectations.

Ji Guofu's spiritual vision was now damaged and he could not see the "qi" in Lu Zonghui, but he saw that there was blood in Lu Zonghui's face.

That is a short-lived aspect.

This time, Lu Zonghui is afraid that something worse will happen.

Ji Guofu led everyone to hurry up and, after taking a slight detour, returned to Hexi City and returned to Zhao Hongming.

At this time, Zhao Hongming and Wu Qi were standing in the martial arts field to mobilize Wei soldiers and make preparations for the war.

Seeing Ji Guofu coming over, Zhao Hongming put down what he was doing and took the time to receive him.

"It's all done?"

Ji Guofu smiled and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, Lu Zonghui agreed without any doubts. He even did not see through the two soldiers sent by Your Highness. He also gave many rewards before leaving."

Zhao Hongming seemed to have expected such a result.

He said calmly: "If this is the case, then we can carry out the original plan."

"Next, there will still be Lao Ji warriors on Zhao Jun's side." Zhao Hongming promised: "If this matter comes to pass and you come back, no one will say anything about you for your achievements like this. I will even promise you to be a general." job."

Although a partial general is the last rank of a general, he is still a general after all, and is much better than his current position as a lieutenant in the Zhao army.

Ji Guofu immediately said with a solemn expression: "I will do my best."

"I am waiting for the good news from the Ji Warriors."

Ji Guofu seemed to have remembered something and said, "Your Highness, I remembered that I still need help from Your Highness for something."

"tell me the story."

Ji Guofu clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Li Mu asked me to come to Ying County this time. In addition to inquiring about the military situation here, there is another thing."

"What's the matter?"

"He asked me to go to Luling to inquire about the specific developments of the ancient tombs of the Yin Kingdom. This seems to be a request of the elders of the Haoran Sect. If I go back and there is no news in this regard, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to explain to Li Mu. If he loses trust in front of him, it will be difficult for him to believe it if Lu Zonghui is revealed later."

The ancient tomb of the Yin Kingdom?

This tomb has been dug out by him, and everything inside has been pocketed by him.

I don’t know what the elders of Haoran Sect want.

Zhao Hongming said without changing his expression: "Have the elders of Haoran Sect asked about the specific things in the ancient tomb of Yin State?"

"Yes." Ji Guofu's expression became serious and he said seriously: "They want me to pay special attention to the information about a jade seal in the ancient tomb of Yin State."

Hearing this, Zhao Hongming subconsciously glanced at his chest.

Speaking of which, there is indeed a seal hidden in his body at this moment, which comes from the Yinxu ancient tomb.

Haoran Zong was afraid that he was coming for it.

This ancient seal has a history of thousands of years, and there are very few records about it.

I don’t know where Haoran Sect got the news about it.

Zhao Hongming put away his thoughts and thought seriously.

He had information about the ancient tomb of the Yin State, but it was worth considering which part to disclose.

The Haoran Sect already knew the news that the Yinxu Ancient Tomb was in Luling, and also knew the whereabouts of the ancient seal in the ancient tomb.

There is no doubt that the other party has much more information than you do.

Making things up obviously won't work.

The best way is to mix the real information with false information to confuse the public.

After confirming his idea, Zhao Hongming said: "The ancient tomb of Yinxu is at the bottom of the lake in the Wang Family Courtyard. I have already explored it once. The ancient seal you want to inquire about is indeed inside."

Ji Guofu's expression was slightly startled, and he obviously did not expect that Zhao Hongming would reveal this information to him easily.

It is obviously very rare and valuable information, but it feels very cheap.

Zhao Hongming continued: "I think this ancient seal is of great importance. I handed it over to the court along with the victory report of our army a few days ago."

Ji Guofu carefully wrote down the key points and did not doubt whether the information revealed by Zhao Hongming was true or false.

Firstly, he didn't know the secret and had no way to verify it; secondly, he was just a spy and a spy with a crooked butt, so it didn't mean much to him to verify the truth.

As long as he reports the information he obtained to Li Mu and the others, his mission will be completed, and whether it is true or false is not his first priority.

After confirming some details with Zhao Hongming, Ji Guofu immediately proposed to return to Zhaoying, Hedong.

"Speaking of which, Warrior Ji is already my king's advance force." Zhao Hongming waved his hand and said: "Come on, give me some wine! I hope everything goes well for Warrior Ji."

Gao Yanshi, who was guarding one side, had quick hands and feet. He took a tray with fine wine and presented it in front of Zhao Hongming a moment after he ordered.

Ji Guofu picked up one of the wine glasses, and Zhao Hongming personally filled it for him.

Without any hesitation, Ji Guofu drank it all in one gulp and left without looking back.

Ji Guofu's back gradually disappeared from Zhao Hongming's sight.

He turned around and returned to the martial arts arena.

Looking at the entire army of Wei soldiers wearing armor, Zhao Hongming ordered: "Come, wear armor for me, and send someone to notify Lu Zonghui."

"Send troops to attack Zhao!"

A hunt for the two is about to begin.

Eastern Army Camp.

Lu Zonghui laughed wildly: "God is really helping me!"

His men all looked at each other, wondering why their general laughed wildly after seeing off King Wu's envoy.

One of his subordinates asked cautiously: "General, Your Highness asked us to attack Huaxian County. It is certainly a clever move, but the road from here to Huaxian County is not easy to walk. The march is difficult. Is there anything to be happy about? ?”

"You don't understand." Lu Zonghui looked at the map hanging in front of him with a smile in his eyes.

He found that on the road from Zhao Jun to Huaxian, if Wu Qi attacked Zhao from the front or right wing, he could pose a threat in several places, and even create conditions for Zhao Jun to detour and intersperse.

Such an important position was actually given to him.

However, there is no other way. Going straight to Hua County and blocking Zhao Jun's retreat is indeed a clever move.

Once successful, it will not only form an encirclement and cut off Zhao Jun's retreat, but also divide the troops into three groups and rely on the terrain to separate Zhao Jun, not to mention that there is Zhao Jun's warehouse there.

And to achieve such a goal, only the Eastern Army in his hands can do it.Wu Qi's troops were insufficient to accomplish such strategic goals.

Against all odds, they never thought that they had secretly formed a cooperation with Zhao Jun and Li Mu.

On the contrary, Wu Qi was the common goal of both of them.

When the time comes, the State of Zhao will destroy the soldiers of Wei and avenge their previous humiliation.

He could also rely on his military strength to control Ying County.

Zhao Hongming, Wu Qi and others will be the only losers.

As for Li Wang going back on his word and trying to make a comeback, he has no fear.

As long as he has enough resources, he is confident that he can recruit more martial arts forces to serve him.

It was enough to deal with the Zhao army that had already wiped out 10,000+ people.

Everything seemed to be God helping him, everything went according to his wishes, how could he not be happy.

He didn't tell his subordinates, and many people didn't know what he was planning.

This matter is not glorious. In his opinion, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.

Lu Zonghui put away the map hanging in front of him and said loudly: "Call the entire army to set off immediately for Hua County."

"Yes, General!"

After Lu Zonghui issued the military order, the entire Eastern Army began to jump up and down.

Also in a state of turmoil was Hedong City in the State of Zhao.

In order to increase the number of soldiers, Haoran Zong and Zhao Jun began to forcefully recruit warriors to join the army throughout the city, that is, to recruit strong men.

Anyone who is six feet tall or above, male, and has no physical disabilities is eligible for recruitment.

At the beginning, Zhao Jun did not force people, but only used financial incentives such as wish stones.

Unfortunately, because Zhao Jun had just suffered a major defeat, people were in panic.

Recruitment results were less than ideal.

So in the end, Zhao Jun directly forcibly captured people in the city.

Someone was lying on a woman's belly in a brothel and was forcibly taken away before finishing the treatment and stuffed into a military camp.

If he resists, he will be killed by the Zhao army.

Some warriors with relatively high cultivation level did not believe in this evil and wanted to escape over the wall.

As a result, the powerful Haoran Sect warrior who was driven over, a warrior in the Wudan realm, was killed on the spot, and his body was hung on the city wall as a warning to others.

Now that Hedong City has been sealed off, ordinary people can't get out at all, and they can only be recruited into Zhao Jun's fate.

Quan Erbao, who was in Hedong City, secretly thought that he was unlucky to have encountered such a thing.

He felt very regretful, regretting that he had not left earlier.

He was not from Zhao country yet, and he had not received any favors from Li Mu, so he was unwilling to accept the call.

Besides, he just ran out of the military camp, turned around and entered the Zhao camp again, and became the leading soldier.

Then he didn't escape in vain.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world.

Now I want to leave but I can't.

Quan Erbao thought about it and decided that the best way was to make himself disabled.

This would not meet the conditions for Zhao Jun to recruit.

So before Zhao Jun forced him to recruit him, he broke his legs with a stick as thick as his arm and became a "lame", thus allowing him to escape Zhao Jun's recruitment.

Quan Erbao therefore became even more resentful towards Wei Wuzu.

He even felt that Wei Wuzu had ruined his affairs.

"How many people have been recruited?"

In Zhao Jun's camp, Li Mu asked his men about the recruitment status of soldiers.

"General Qi, we have recruited 2 people in Hedong. So far, the total army is 20."

"In this case, we will have the strength to fight again, and we can fight Wei Wuzu again." Li Mu asked: "Is there any movement of the Wei army on the other side?"

"Our scouts said that the Wei army has already put on armor today and has now left Hexi and is heading towards Hedong."

"I've guessed that they can't hold themselves back and want to take advantage of the victory. They must have taken some action in the past few days." Li Mu did not panic.

He had also made some preparations for this moment.

Li Mu ordered: "Order Wang Xiaowei, Chen Xiaowei and others to lead [-] soldiers to ambush at the bend of the river where it is easy to cross. After the Wei army crosses the river, we will kill him by surprise."

"The last will obey."

"Remember to ask one or two elders of the Haoran Sect to come over and take charge."

"Yes, General."

Time passed little by little.

Just as the Wei soldiers led by Wu Qi and Zhao Hongming were heading towards Hedong City, a messenger hurried outside the main tent and reported loudly: "General, Captain Ji Qian is back and said I have important military information to tell the general."

"Didn't he just leave the day before yesterday and come back so soon?"

Li Mu was a little surprised.

In just a few days, if I could get any information, I might not have even arrived at Luling.

Thinking of this, Li Mu looked a little unhappy.

He said in a discordant tone: "Let him come in."

After being summoned, Ji Guofu quickly entered the tent, looking dusty.

He knelt down on one knee and said, "General, I have an important military intelligence report at the end."

Li Mu did not answer Ji Guofu's words, but asked: "How did the investigation of the ancient tombs of Yin State that I asked you to investigate go? Is there any substantive news?"

Seeing Li Mu's condescending tone, and then thinking of the courtesy of Corporal Zhao Hongming, the king of martial arts, who treated him with great courtesy, he instantly made a comparison in his mind.

The last trace of guilt was gone.

Although he can rely on his luck and know his fate, he has a complex human mind and has no way to control and measure his own destiny. He can also rise with the other party.

If you want to climb up, you still have to rely on yourself in the end.

Ji Guofu's face was calm and he said seriously: "Reporting to the general, I have found out some information about the ancient tomb of Yin State."

"As far as the general knows, the ancient tomb of the Yin Kingdom in Luling is located at the bottom of the lake in the Wang Family Courtyard, and King Wu of Ying County has already acquired it in advance."

"Is there any news about the Jade Seal?"

"Yes, this seal has been obtained by King Wu. A few days ago, King Wu Zhao Hongming followed the good news and sent it to the Wei court."

Li Mu's expression suddenly changed and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"I can only say that this thing has no chance with me."

Seeing that Ji Guofu was able to find out all these things so clearly in such a short period of time, he must have put in a lot of hard work behind his back.

Li Mu's impression of him became much better: "Tell me, what do you think is the important military situation?"

Ji Guofu said seriously: "General, we are in big trouble."

"What's the trouble?"

"When I passed by Hexi, I inquired about the Wei army's military strategy. They planned to sneak attack Huaxian and annihilate our army in a roundabout way. Now the Wei army on the other side of the river is feinting."

Li Mu frowned and hurriedly took out a map from the tent to find the location of Hua County.

His index finger landed on the position of Huaxian, and he made gestures on the left, center and right respectively, with a bit of surprise in his eyes.

What a great move!

"Report, the Wei army that set out from Hexi suddenly slowed down its advance. Colonel Wang suspected that the situation had changed and came here to report."
