"General Deng, buy as much food as you can from various cities along the way. Advance slowly first and don't give the Nanchuan rebels a chance to breathe."
Soon, Kou Wang came up with a countermeasure.
In fact, this strategy is relatively risky, and it is not yet certain how much food they can buy.
If we advance recklessly like this, if there is a shortage of food, the morale of the army may be shaken.
Kou Wang could see Deng Yongle's worry, "General Deng, don't worry, the defenders of Zhaohuang City are strong, but I am still confident of defeating them."
The continuous victory over Nanchuan City and Gaohe City also gave everyone a lot of confidence.
Deng Yongle thought for a moment and nodded.
What Kou Wang said is not unreasonable, and the Nanchuan rebels must not be given a chance to breathe.
Deng Yongle issued the order, and soon there were dedicated people purchasing grain along the way.
Of course, they had no idea. There was not much food in Yangzhou, so the people might not be willing to exchange it for money.
In response, Kou Wang directly paid for it out of his own pocket, which made it even worse for him who was already not wealthy, but Kou Wang didn't complain at all.
As long as this battle can be won, any price is worth it.
After resting for three days, the Zhou army relied on the little food they bought and quickly approached Zhaohuang City.
After Zhang Kui was captured, he was directly killed by Kou Wang.
As for Yu Ran, he was sent to Tailin City to wait for his fate.
Two days later, Kou Wang was getting closer and closer to Zhaohuang City, but at this time he received extremely shocking news.
The Weibei Valley was attacked by the Nanyuan Kingdom and was in danger.
Meng He and You Kan immediately reported to Kou Wang and expressed their intention to return to support.
"If Zhaohuang City is captured, even if the Weibei Valley is lost, it can be recaptured in the future."
Kou Wang looked complicated and gritted his teeth.
Meng He sighed, "General Kou, even if the Weibei Valley can be abandoned, there are still tens of thousands of our brothers in Weibei City, and their lives cannot be abandoned."
If they don't come to support in time, I'm afraid the city will be destroyed and people will die.
"Damn it!" Kou Wang dismounted and roared loudly.
He never expected that Nan Yuan Kingdom would pull this trick.
This is clearly to encircle Wei and save Zhao, intending to resolve the crisis in Zhaohuang City.
Once Meng He Youkan and others left, even if Kou Wang insisted on attacking, he could not capture Zhaohuang City.
After all, Kou Wang cannot treat the lives of his brothers as child's play.
Finally, Kou Wang made a decision.
"General Meng, you go to support the Weibei Valley first."
"In addition, I will report this matter to Your Majesty and let Your Majesty make a decision."
In Tailin City, Bai Yutian has been troubled by Di Ke's affairs, and as a result, bad news came from the Nanchuan rebels.
Seeing that the Nanchuan rebels were about to be completely wiped out, something like this happened.
Reluctantly, Bai Yutian could only order Kou Wang to retreat first and garrison Gaohe City, waiting for new orders.
Most of the officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Kingdom were sent to fight against the Dachuan Kingdom, and now they are unable to mobilize reinforcements.
Zhao Chuxue stood quietly aside, with her hands hanging down.
She went to look for Dick, and although she found some traces, she still couldn't find him.
In fact, Zhao Chuxue had already chased him very far. Even further away, he left the central province and came to the farther province of Guanzhong.
It can be said that Dick had almost no rest and was always on the road.
And this also shows that this is Di Ke's active choice to leave.
Zhao Chuxue opened her red lips lightly and said slowly: "Your Majesty, Di Ke is very agile and her martial arts has reached the Ninth Level of Shackles. Except for the strong masters, few people can hurt her."
"Besides, since she left on her own initiative, she might have something to hide or something to do."
Bai Yutian sighed, looking lonely: "But even so, I'm still worried about her."
"Send the order and have all the Dragon Guards from all over the Great Zhou Dynasty mobilize to find Di Ke no matter where they end up."
Zhao Chuxue's expression seemed a little dissatisfied, "However, Di Ke has a mysterious identity and unknown origin, and he is also a threat to you."
Hearing this, Bai Yutian stood up directly and looked directly at Zhao Chuxue.
"Chu Xue, I trust Di Ke, she will not hurt me."
"It's better to say less of this kind of remarks in the future."
This was the first time Bai Yutian warned Zhao Chuxue, which made Zhao Chuxue feel a little aggrieved.
She turned her head away and said calmly: "Looking at the path Di Ke left, she probably went to Tiantai Mountain."
After hearing this, Bai Yutian excitedly shook Zhao Chuxue's shoulders, "This is true."
But soon, Bai Yutian reacted.
Why is Di Ke going to Tiantai Mountain? That is the original boundary of Liangzhou, and Di Ke's hometown is in the Longxi area.
Moreover, that is where the Taoist inheritance was discovered.
"I personally went to Mount Tiantai to look for Di Ke." Bai Yutian shook his head and said.
"Then I'll go with you." Zhao Chuxue said immediately.
