Chapter 954: We have 70,000 troops stationed, so why fear 3,000?
Tuanchi was almost completely white, and Xiang An was riding on Tuanchi, pacing on the road to Yan State.
Nine days have passed by this time, and in one day we will reach the border of the Yan Kingdom. Xiang An, King of Yan Zang Tu, has sent Liao Ye to notify him in advance. He must have prepared food and grass now, waiting for him to receive it.
Food and fodder for three thousand men and horses, if you give it, you will gain face, if you don't give it, you will become enemies. With such a small amount, Zang Tu is not stupid.
It's just that Zang Tu is a little surprised as to why the General of Western Chu would want to take a walk around the Great Wall at this juncture.
"General, a little further ahead is Naoxian County. The guard there, Chu Dun, is ready to welcome us." Liao Ye rode back on a fast horse and reported to Xiang An with clasped fists.
Xiang An pulled the reins of the galloping horse, glanced back at the team, and thought for a moment: "You go there again now and tell Chu Dun that there is no need to greet him. I'm waiting to rush on. I'm just borrowing the road and leaving right away."
, don’t plan to delay.”
"Yes, I will obey the order!"
After saying that, Liao Ye ran out. After following Xiang An for so many years, he has become much smarter. Now basically all the miscellaneous things on the battlefield, including the transmission of messages between several close generals, Xiang An has to pay attention to.
Gave it to Liao Ye. Although he did not hold a high military position, everyone knew that Xiang An had a crony (a henchman) beside him.
"Second brother, how many days will it take to reach the Great Wall?" Zijuan urged Zaoji to walk a few steps quickly, walking side by side with Tuanchi, and asked Xiang An while rubbing Zaoji's mane.
"We are now marching in three days and two days, and it still takes half a month to reach the Great Wall. This is already full speed." Xiang An's eyes were a little blurry, and he didn't know what he was thinking. "The area of Yan country is much larger.
It will definitely take more time to cross Sanqi, and we have to ensure the condition of the soldiers. We can't be relaxed at all when dealing with those things, we must be in full spirit!"
"Forget it, when the time comes, let's try my spear skills." Zijuan smiled casually, very confident.
Xiang An smiled and didn't care. No matter what, he had the whole story. But he was not stupid enough to imagine that the three thousand troops he brought with him could return intact. That was nonsense.
Things have to be solved eventually.
"Speaking of the past two days, Second Brother, you really didn't give Na Tianan any face." Zijuan thought of what happened the past two days and couldn't help but laugh. She smiled softly and pursed her dry lips.
Xiang An took off his kettle from Tuanchi's side, handed it to Zijuan, and snorted: "Let's be more urgent. Why do we care about him? Why don't you see him go out of the city to greet me when he ruins my reputation?"
."
Zijuan almost choked on the water and rolled her eyes: "Didn't you accept the boy's welcome? You just left without paying any attention to him."
"I'm telling him that the things he did can't be hidden, nor can the people behind him." Xiang An took back the kettle and took a sip, his expression stern, and the Zijuan man froze on the spot.
Xiang An, however, continued to talk to himself, with a disdainful tone: "Besides, Tian An himself is the son of that bastard Tian Jia. I didn't kill him immediately at that time, so he ran fast, and now he has mixed up with the Qin army.
Because of his military exploits, his eldest brother gave him the title of Prince of Lao Shi, and you want me to think highly of him?"
Zijuan opened her mouth and watched as Xiang An put the clean water bottle back into the package. She blinked a few times quickly and took a deep breath.
From here, you can already see the somewhat shabby city gate of Naoxian County. Xiang An didn't intend to take a rest, so he said hello to Chu Dun and moved on.
...
"Your Majesty, the General of Western Chu suddenly said that he wanted to use the road. Is there something...?"
Below Zang Tu, a minister said to Zang Tu with a sad face, his expression full of fear.
Liu Ji, the king of Han, just announced a few days ago that he was dissatisfied with the enfeoffment of King Xiang Yu of Western Chu, and now he has rebelled in Shu. The specific information is that the distance between Yan and Han is quite far, but it is enough to cause people to panic.
"It doesn't matter." Zang Tu looked relaxed. He started with Chen Sheng and now sits in the position of King Yan. He has seen a lot of storms and waves. The scene in front of him really couldn't make him feel the waves. "The war started in the southwest.
, what does the Yan State in the Northeast have to do with us, and the target of the General of Western Chu is obviously not us, and what if the target is us? How many troops does he have? "
"I have 70,000 soldiers in Dayan, so I'm afraid he only has 3,000?"
"Since he said he wanted to borrow the road, let him borrow it. If he wants to buy some grain and grass, sell it to him. Once he reaches the Great Wall, it will be none of our business."
"This... okay..." The minister lowered his head angrily.
"Oh, by the way." Zang Tu patted the desk twice as if he suddenly remembered something, "Send someone to inform General Xi Chu that he is marching in a hurry and may not know about this matter.
"
"......yes."
Zang Tu looked at the scouts walking out of the hall, touched his beard and smiled.
Now he really wants to see Zhongyuan fight, the harder the fight, the better.
After he finishes dealing with Han Guang, King of Liaodong, maybe there will be a chance to reap the benefits?
So, let's lighten the fire a little bit.
...
Xiang An was also stroking his beard.
After bidding farewell to his son outside Xianyang City, Xiang An began to grow his beard.
In this era, all men grow beards. Xiang An is not too young at all. He will be twenty-five soon. It is already very late to grow a beard. Before, he would shave it off with his big beard.
Xiang An's beard has grown to a certain size now, and I have to say, it does look a lot more mature.
"Fourth uncle, how do I compare to my elder brother?" Xiang An, who was repairing and eating some food by a river, looked at himself in the water and asked Xiang Lu.
"You don't have a fierce face, so don't compare with your elder brother. Although you look similar, you are not the same type at all." Xiang Lu smiled casually and patted Xiang An on the shoulder, "I see.
What have you been thinking about these past two days, Sanqi?"
Xiang An hesitated slightly and smiled bitterly: "Yes, and no."
"The total resources that Sanqi has are only so much. What I care more about is the world and the Central Plains."
"This time there is a hole in the formation in the north. I'm a little worried. The Central Plains is currently in troubled times, and this kind of thing happens again outside the country. There is always something...not a good feeling."
"Don't think too much, just let nature take its course. Sometimes things have to happen in life." Xiang Lu saw Xiang An's strong biceps and said with relief, "Let's focus on things in the north now."
"Well, we are almost to the north now. I have to talk to my fourth uncle about some things in advance." Xiang An nodded, glanced at the sky, and sighed, "Now that the weather is getting colder, if our soldiers die in
If you go under the Great Wall, you may not be able to bring the body back..."
