Chapter 150 Changing the route to Changshan and camping at the foot of Jingxing Mountain
After bidding farewell to Zhang Ning, Zhu Han followed Jichou northward again. When the team arrived at Hejian Kingdom, the Second Qu troops from the Wuyuan School Wei Department also arrived as scheduled to report.
When he saw the leader of the army, Zhu Han was also slightly startled. Unexpectedly, it was Ju Yi who had a problem with him in the past.
"Master Zhu...oh no, I should call you Zhu Junhou now!"
After Ju Yi and Ji Chou exchanged greetings, they smiled at Zhu Han.
"I didn't expect that the military commander of this second song would be you!"
Zhu Han joked: "Isn't Liu Xu here? He's not afraid that you will take away all these good men?"
"Humph, you Zhu Han may be a good hand in running the place, but when it comes to leading troops in war, you are far from qualified! Don't be trapped in a tight siege and I have to rescue you. That would be embarrassing.
Lost your fortune!"
Ju Yi squinted his eyes and said mockingly: "I don't even think about my abilities."
"Bold! How dare you be powerless against my lord!"
Dian Wei was furious, then took a step forward and shouted angrily: "Ju Yi, is your skin itchy?"
"Haha, it turns out that your confidence comes from this stupid guy? I am also a military rank, and I am at the same level as your lord. What? Do you think you can commit the following crime?"
Ju Yi raised his eyebrows and said teasingly: "This is a military camp, not your county. Before you speak, you still have to think through it!"
"I..."
Dian Wei raised his fist and wanted to go forward and hit Ju Yi. When Zhu Han saw this, he quickly stretched out his hand to stop Dian Wei.
"What's wrong?"
Ji Chou, who had just finished counting the number of Ju Yi's troops, saw some commotion here and hurriedly came over and asked with a stern face.
"It's nothing. I know Junhou Ju, I haven't seen him for a long time, so I'm inevitably a little excited!"
Zhu Han quickly replied.
"Well? Is that really the case? Ju Yi?"
Ji Cou frowned slightly, looked at Ju Yi and asked.
"What Zhu Junhou said is true, we were just joking!"
Ju Yi glanced at Zhu Han with a half-smile and replied.
"That's good. No matter what grudges you had in the past, under my account, you are brothers in the same robe. If you dare to fight against each other, I don't care who introduced you.
Military justice!"
Ji Chou's face was a little gloomy. Judging from the behavior of the two people just now, he knew what their relationship was like. When he thought of the instructions given by his old friend Wang Fen before leaving, Ji Chou also became bigger and bigger.
"Your Excellency, the King of Changshan, Liu Haorang, brings you a letter and invites you to visit Changshan and stay for a few days."
Ju Yi glanced at Zhu Han maliciously, then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Ji Cou.
"King Changshan invited me to stay with Yuanshi for a few days. What do you two think?"
Ji Chou asked after reading the letter.
"Seeing that the autumn harvest is approaching, the barbarians from the north will move south to invade the border at any time. My subordinates thought that they should reject King Changshan and rush to the north as soon as possible!"
Zhu Han knew with his butt what the old man was planning. There were many high mountains and ridges in Changshan, and it was Liu Hao's territory. He didn't want to throw himself into a trap.
"I don't dare to agree with what Zhu Junhou said. King Chang Shan has kindly invited me. Sir, it's okay for you to go and take a trip. How many days will it be delayed? Anyway, it's a good way!"
Ju Yi chuckled.
"You said you were on your way to Changshan Country?"
Zhu Han was immediately laughed out of anger. He had never seen such a shameless person before.
"Well, that's right. I've decided to change the route to Changshan Country!"
After thinking about it for a while, Ji Chou responded.
"Sir, even if you are going to Changshan Country for an appointment, there is no need to bring so many people with you, right? After all, the cost of eating horses and people along the way is not small!"
Seeing that Ji Chou had already decided on the route, Zhu Han could only persuade him in other directions. Because the food and grass he had prepared along the way were all eaten by Ji Chou. According to Ji Chou's marching route, it was estimated that he would have to go to Changshan Kingdom before he arrived. Finished.
"Well, what Zhu Junhou said is right, let's do this! Ju Yi and his people continue to go north to Jixian to settle down, and wait patiently for me to arrive! As for your troops, Zhu Junhou, follow me to Changshan!"
Ji Chou quickly assigned tasks to the two of them.
"I obey my orders!"
Ju Yi sneered and teased Zhu Han: "Zhu Junhou, you must protect the captain on this journey! Don't let him be frightened!"
"I know what to do without you having to tell me!"
Zhu Han was so angry that he clenched his teeth. When he heard Ji Chou's arrangement, he knew that this old guy was on the same side as Liu Hao and the others.
In this way, it took the team of hundreds of people another half month to finally reach the territory of Changshan Kingdom.
On this day, Jichou's team had just passed through Zhending County and were heading towards Shiyi.
After leaving Zhending, the road became difficult to walk. The many days of rapid marching and the endless mountain road made Zhu Han's subordinates complain endlessly. Before they could go out after walking for a whole day, Ji Chou ordered a Set up camp in a valley.
"Sir Captain, the terrain here is dangerous and it is definitely not a place to stay for a long time. How about you be patient and rush to Shiyi to rest?"
Even though Zhu Han was not familiar with military affairs, he also knew that he could not stay in a place like this for long. As soon as the team stopped, he quickly suggested to Ji Chou.
"I'm old, and I can't compare to you young people in terms of physical strength! Just stay here for one night!"
Ji Chou found a stone and sat down, then waved his hand and refused.
"Sir, please think twice! If you are attacked, it will be too late!"
Zhu Han said anxiously.
"Bo Yun, as a general, it is good to be cautious, but this is within the territory of Changshan, which is the hinterland of our empire. There is Youzhou in the north and Bingzhou in the west. Where can there be enemies? Do you want to say that those who hide in the mountains all day long Are there any bandits or bandits here?"
Ji Chou said with disdain: "You have five hundred people. Which bandit dared to come and rob the camp after eating a leopard? Okay, that's it! Hurry up and get someone ready to prepare!"
"Okay! Then I will let the general camp here!"
Zhu Han had no choice but to order the team to rest temporarily and divided two groups of people to cut down trees and prepare to set up camp.
"Boyun, it's not dark yet, why are you setting up camp?"
Xi Zhicai was puzzled and stepped forward to persuade him: "Even if you want to camp, you can't choose it here! Look at this camp, it's low-lying, surrounded by mountains on two sides and water on one side, and the only way out is one mile away from the official road. Erli is really a dangerous place!"
"Hey, let alone you, I can see that this place is not good, but the boss won't leave and will set up camp here. What do you want me to do? I can only strengthen my vigilance at night!"
Zhu Han smiled bitterly.
"It seems that Liu Hao is determined to kill you! He must have bribed Ji Chou as well!"
After Xi Zhi thought about it for a moment, his face became extremely ugly.
"That's not necessarily the case. If they are colluding, then there is no need for Liu Hao to ask Ju Yi to bring him a letter. According to my guess, Ji Chou owes someone a favor and has to come after reading the letter!"
Ji Chou's behavior really made Zhu Han confused. If he and Liu Hao were from the same group, then there was really no need to act in front of him. But if they were not from the same group, how could he choose this way? A place to camp? Puzzled, Zhu Han could only speculate like this.
"Everything that goes wrong is a monster. Since we changed our route, we have rarely slept in the wild, right? We have never camped in the wild when we were in the Zhongshan Kingdom. Why did we camp in the wild once we came to the Changshan Kingdom? And this camping location becomes more and more remote every time!”
Xi Zhicai is not as broad-minded as Zhu Han. In his opinion, Ji Chou's move seems to be creating opportunities for some people, but Ji Chou also said that there are quite a few of them, five in total. There are more than a hundred officers and soldiers, which bandit dares to tease their tiger beards?
"Oh, now that it's here, make sure it's safe! It's safe, it's safe, I've been worrying here for a long time, but nothing will happen next! Just step up your guard at night!"
Zhu Han patted Xi Zhicai and advised: "You have been traveling all day, so you should rest early!"
"No, I always feel that something is wrong. Otherwise, Boyun, you can divide the camp into two, tight inside and loose outside, or separate a group of people and find a place to camp. In this case, the two camps can be mutually beneficial. horn."
Xi Zhicai raised his head and looked at the darkening sky, and said with calculation: "Let the brothers work harder, we should be able to get it done before dark!"
"But everyone has been traveling all day and is very tired. Isn't it good to do this? It may cause complaints in the army!"
Zhu Han is very good at leading people. At least he can consider the mood of his employees.
"Bo Yun! You still thought you were in Jingxian County? Why do you still have the same idea as before? Now that you are leading the army, how can you be so merciful? If they can't even endure this hardship, how can they fight in the future?"
Xi Zhicai almost laughed in anger, and quickly explained: "There is an ancient saying, 'righteousness does not control wealth, and kindness does not control soldiers!', plus we are marching outside now, so we must not be careless!"
As he was talking, Xi Zhicai leaned into Zhu Han's ear and whispered: "Besides, these five hundred soldiers and horses are the basis for whether you can gain a foothold in Youzhou! How can you be so careless?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
This sentence can be said to be in Zhu Han's heart. The loss of one of the soldiers and horses is really one less. He couldn't tolerate being sad. He thought about it and said: "It's not good to set up two camps. Let's There are not many people. If we divide our troops again, if a war breaks out, we may be defeated by the enemy one by one! Why not follow your first suggestion! Let's build the camp bigger and divide it into two camps, the outer and the inner. The outer one is loose and the inner one is tight. Just right."
"That's how it should be!"
Xi Zhi was relieved. He was afraid that Zhu Han hadn't changed his role yet.
"Dianwei!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Go and summon Zhang Liao and Guan Hai. I have something to discuss with them!"
"promise!"
Not long after, Zhang Liao and Guan Hai came together. Zhu Han took a few people to sit together and told them the plan he had just made with Xi Zhicai.
Zhang Liao was fine. After all, he was marching outside and it was better to be cautious. But Guan Hai was different. He was so angry that if Dian Wei hadn't stopped him, he would have gone to Ji Chou to argue.
