The army moved forward, and soon they were gone without a trace.
Marching in the mountains is certainly not easy, and walking at night is even more difficult, because the forest is deep and the grass is dense, blocking the skylight, making it truly impossible to see even the naked eye.
However, Zhao Cheng was well prepared for this. As early as last autumn, he had people open a road in the mountains and select a route to Wucheng.
In addition, while clearing the road, they used strong straw ropes on the trees along the way to guide the direction to avoid losing their way during the subsequent march.
Not only that, at several points along the way, Zhao Cheng even had people bury water there early as a supplement.
It is said that before the three armies are moved, food and grass go first.
However, Zhao Cheng was well prepared. He only asked his soldiers to carry three days' worth of food and water each, thus achieving a truly light and simple journey. In this way, they could naturally achieve great speed.
As for the follow-up, after taking Wucheng, there will naturally be no shortage of water.
Let’s not talk about the Wu family’s accumulation, let’s talk about the wealthy families in Wu City. The food they have hidden must be piled up like mountains.
As for the insects, snakes, rats, and ants in the mountains, Zhao Cheng was well prepared. On the one hand, he had sprinkled powder with medicine along the march. On the other hand, all the soldiers were covered with powder. Although it was impossible to completely eliminate it, it was still possible.
Damage can be minimized.
But he didn't want to, everything was turned upside down in a blink of an eye, Wei Ye couldn't help but feel as if he was in a dream when he thought of Zhao Cheng wearing the armor of a general and the majestic power he displayed with every gesture.
That is, Wu Qi has already planned to hand over the foundation to him in the future.
…
It's not that he is so powerful, but simply that his competitors are too bad.
"The bloody light strikes the moon, which is an ominous sign..."
However, Wei Ye quickly adjusted his mood. The 500 people Zhao Cheng left behind were all old soldiers. However, these old soldiers were either injured or injured, or were more interested in logistics. They were really powerful.
There are no more than a hundred people with combat capability.
As for Wu Zu, he never thought that he could inherit Wu Qi's legacy at first. Even now, he feels like he is dreaming.
"Hope everything goes well!"
As for hesitation, it is natural to be hesitant. Whether it will succeed in the end, although there is a shocking explosion, the battle is dangerous and dangerous, and no one can guarantee what the final outcome will be until the dust settles.
However, he vaguely heard that Wu Qi's wife was opposed to Wu Qi's adoption of an heir, but Wu Qi put her in solitary confinement. Of course, it was said to the public that his wife was ill.
The main character in Wei Ye is not to defend against foreign enemies, but to create the illusion that Ying Tian's army is still in the camp.
As for climbing up, their fathers' Shangguan also had descendants. It's not that it's impossible, it's just that it's very difficult.
In other words, since he was appointed to stay in Wucheng, he has slept very lightly. It is not because he is physically sick, but simply because he is too excited.
As for Wu Zu, he does not have the ambition to dominate the world. He just feels that it is pretty good for the Wu family to have the territory they have now.
"Shun Tian obeys the order, and the world returns to Zhao. If you can really rule the world, sir, what kind of grand scene will it be..."
But this large number of people are enough to stay behind.
By then, even if the news here spreads, by the time the news reaches people, Zhao Cheng should have already arrived at Wucheng.
It's just that Wei Ye is incompetent and has no right to choose. Those who are capable have already become the personal soldiers of those powerful people.
Unfortunately, the victory over Wucheng this time probably had little to do with him. However, he knew in his heart that Zhao Cheng was actually taking care of him by making this arrangement.
If there are many descendants of powerful men, there will always be a few who become useful.
Wucheng, Wu Zu's residence, although the night was already deep, he still didn't sleep.
But now, Zhao Cheng has transformed into General Yingtian. In the land of mountains, he is even more powerful. Whether it is power or honor, he is many times stronger than before. Even he,
He has also benefited from the glory, been promoted one after another, and now sits in a position that he never dared to dream of.
But he knew that he was not good at marching and fighting. He was not very brave and enterprising. If he went to capture Wucheng, he might be doing bad things.
He doesn't even need to hide it for too long. As long as there is a gap of one or two days, it will be completely fine.
Those who grew up under such circumstances are very few who are capable. Regardless of today's world, whether it is Cao Zheng of the Cao family or Yuan Chu of the Yuan family, all the famous figures are from arrogant and powerful families.
But this is a question of probability.
From a few months ago, Wu Qi said that he wanted to have an heir, to now he is guarding Wucheng, step by step, especially now, leaving him to guard Wucheng, the meaning of this has been very obvious.
But this is normal. For people like them, even if he is just a commoner, his surname is Wu. Based on this alone, he is indispensable for glory and wealth.
After all, the military camp is an important place and no one is allowed to get close to it.
In the dark night, Wei Ye murmured, but he was thinking of the time when he first arrived under Zhao Cheng. At that time, Zhao Cheng was just an ignorant boy, fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a Taoist robe, without any dignity or momentum of a nobleman.
, and no one thinks he has any future.
On the contrary, he defended the base camp. As long as there was no trouble during this period, if he captured Wucheng in the future, it would be a credit to him. It could be said that he got the credit just by lying down.
Under such circumstances, it is difficult to be ambitious.
And it is not difficult to do this.
But more of them are young masters who grew up in mountains of gold and silver, and can't do anything except enjoyment.
Ying Tianjun's camp, Wei Ye saw the suddenly empty camp, and couldn't help but feel a little sad and hesitant in his heart.
His ability was just like that, otherwise he would not have become Zhao Cheng's personal soldier. After all, at that time, Zhao Cheng was only the general banner and was inconspicuous in the army.
The reason is simple, if you don’t lack anything, why should you work hard?!
I can honestly follow the path of my father's generation. When I was young, I ate, drank and had fun. When I got older, I was arranged by my father's generation and began to prepare for succession. Now, for more than ten or twenty years, as long as I have no illness or disaster, I can achieve success and fame.
.
On the other side of Wu Hu's mansion, Wu Hu was drinking at this time. This tiger demon under Wu Qi had no other hobbies. His only hobby was drinking, and he often drank so drunk that he fell unconscious.
However, this man is not without restraint. If he is marching and fighting, he can avoid drinking at all, so he is very trusted by Wu Qi.
But now, he was ordered to guard Wucheng with Wu Zu, but he was thinking that it was impossible to break Wucheng. Even if someone came to attack, they would only come from Qingzhou, and there were hidden sentries along the way. In the direction of Qingzhou, wherever
If there is any movement, he will get the news and prepare early.
Therefore, neither Wu Zu nor the civil servants who stayed behind cared about Wu Hu's drinking.
This is just a trivial matter, and it won't detract from the matter. If this matter is taken seriously, it will offend Wu Hu and cause trouble in the future.
