Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 716 Arriving at the Frontier
half a month later.

The army finally reached the border.

The first thing they arrived at was Danyang City.

As soon as the army arrived, the people in the city raised their arms and cheered. Before they came, Zhao Guo had already started a war, and a lot of food and grass for the Chu army were stored in Danyang City.

Chu Zhi and the others did not stop, and after resting for half a day, they went to the front line.

After traveling for thirty miles, it was already evening when we arrived.

The twilight merged, and the entire land against the crumbling sunset turned orange. Looking around, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and there were traces of being burned by the fire everywhere. The black blood had dried up. There were soldiers and enemy soldiers. It was summer, when it was hot, and the dead bodies had begun to rot, which was shocking.

Anyone who sees them wants to turn around and run away.

But instead of running, they have to go forward bravely, because they are soldiers, and their mission and duty is to guard this land.

Even if you die, you will die on the battlefield.

Zhao is a small country. Over the years, it has been keeping low to other countries. It humbly learns the technologies of other countries and absorbs its strengths. It thought it was a well-behaved and obedient sheep, but now it turns out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. , The wolf's ambition is fully exposed.

It is precisely because of Zhao Guo's obedience, respect and obedience that paralyzed Chu State.

As soon as the war started, Zhao State came aggressively, and with the help of Qi State, Chu State somewhat looked down on it, and it didn't take long for Chu State to suffer heavy casualties.

Fortunately, reinforcements have arrived.

As if they had negotiated, Han Zhan and Chuzhi arrived at the front line in the evening, and at midnight, Gu Changyan would personally lead the army to arrive.

The battle situation was urgent, so there was no time to say more. General Gao, who was already at the front line, took a map and said to several commanders: "Qi State is adjacent to Chu State. All the soldiers and horses of Zhao State have gone to Qi State. The armies of the two countries are approaching the frontier. It is in Pingmapo, and further ahead is Jurengu Valley, as the name suggests, very few people can get out of Jurengu Valley."

Pointing to the human-shaped valley road on the map, "Jueren Valley is narrow and flat, with mountains on both sides, steep and difficult to attack, full of miasma and poisonous weeds, and there are many poisonous snakes, insects and ants. This alone can kill many people." The lives of the soldiers, let alone fighting immediately, are even more difficult." After speaking, he pointed to another mountain, "Look, these two mountains are connected, but the soil on this mountain is soft. , is extremely prone to landslides, and there are more rolling stones, twice as high as Jueren Valley, once the two armies fight and the ground shakes, the mountain will inevitably landslide due to the vibration, and when the rolling stones fall, it will be too late to run!"

After General Gao finished speaking, he sighed: "The people of Zhao State are good at Gu worms and have excellent medical skills, so their people have the antidote, so they took the lead in taking the Valley of Judgment. We have no way to deal with it, we can only helplessly be robbed Take the first opportunity, the Pingmapo we are currently stationed at is Pingchuan, [-] miles away is Danyang City, if we can't hold Pingmapo, within half a day, the entire Danyang City will become the possession of the Qi State."

It's not that General Gao is alarmist, but that Zhao State is vicious and cruel, and Qi State is domineering and ferocious, with Jurengu as its backer. In just two months, Chu State has been forced to suffer countless deaths and injuries.

Chu Zhi took a careful look at the map of the border between Chu and Qi, and found that, as General Gao said, they were caught in a dilemma.

Speaking of this, General Gao said: "Qi State has a strong military force, is good at riding and shooting, and is rich in war horses. Many war horses in Chu State came from Qi State. Sell ​​war horses, and although Chu has bred a lot of war horses, it is still not as good as Qi, and now once a war starts, there are only a few war horses, and when they are finally replaced with our Chu war horses, there is no chance of winning."

General Song understood what he meant: "So you're saying that even if the reinforcements arrive, you still can't fight head-on, you can only take it by chance?"

"That's right!" General Gao nodded, "Unless we can cross the Juren Valley."

At this time, an old voice sounded: "Liang State fought against Qi State in the early years. I was lucky to lead the army. Qi State is surrounded by mountains, but once you cross the mountains, you will see endless grasslands. As long as you can cross the barrier, it will be easy for you in the future." There are too many, not to mention that our two countries join forces, and the mere state of Qi is not afraid."

It turned out to be General Qi, he was quite old, and he followed Gu Changyan to invite troops to go out.

Seeing General Qi, Chu Zhi's eyes lit up, the intimacy and long-lost familiarity emanating from the bottom of her heart made her excited and sad.

In the previous life, General Qi said he was her master, but treated her like a daughter and loved her. From General Qi, Chu Zhi felt what fatherly love is.

Therefore, at first glance, it is inevitable to have emotional ups and downs.

Han Zhan was keenly aware of Chu Zhi's agitation, glanced sideways at her slightly, and then at General Qi, his eyes flashed with thought.

"The way now is how to cross the Valley of Absolute People." It was Gu Changyan who spoke.

After everyone nodded, only Chu Zhi's eyes flashed with disdain.

This is an established fact, Gu Changyan doesn't say anything, everyone knows that what is needed now is a solution, if you have the ability to think of a way out!

Gu Changyan saw the sarcasm in Chu Zhi's eyes, his eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Everyone knows that the King of Chu is wise and wise, and Mr. Xiao Han must be able to become the military advisor appointed by the King of Chu himself. He must have extraordinary skills. If so, how about Mr. Xiao Han to tell us, how can we cross the Valley of Juren?"

Han Zhan sneered, he didn't like Gu Changyan, he was full of calculations.

But he knew that Gu Changyan did it on purpose, so he still had to respond to Gu Changyan's gauntlet. Don't think he didn't know what Gu Changyan was thinking. It didn't matter that Han Zhan himself was ashamed, but it would be embarrassing if he couldn't be called Zhizhi.

I saw Han Zhan raised his eyebrows: "Yu was naughty when I was young, and I often got into trouble. My father couldn't help it, so he locked Yu in the mansion and thought about it. He was not allowed to go out without orders. But Yu didn't mind it. He often climbed over the wall or bribed the guards to steal. I ran out, and then my father got a solution. The wall next to the street was followed by a dog. All the doors in the house that could go out were guarded by heavy soldiers. If a dog climbed over the wall, it would be bitten if you were not careful. I was afraid of dogs since I was a child, and I couldn't beat those brave soldiers. I had no choice but to be trapped in the mansion. Unfortunately, I couldn't bear the loneliness. Over time, I figured out a way. The mansion is next to each other, and Shangshu's mansion is on the street, and there is a one-foot-wide alley between the mansion and Hou's mansion, so I dug out a dog hole, my father never thought that he bought a dog and sent heavy soldiers to guard it, but I I found a new place and dug a dog hole to get out."

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Facts have proved that this method is very good, and I have been at ease for a long time."

Han Zhan has always been unrestrained and free-spirited, and he doesn't care about trifles. He has never heard him speak so politely.

Even Chu Zhi felt goosebumps and almost rushed out the door.
