On the road, five thousand Han troops were hurrying on their way. The queue was winding and the orders were strict. No one dared to say anything casually. The only sound of footsteps in the entire team could be heard incessantly.

Although almost all of these five thousand people walked on two feet, their marching speed was not too slow, because they all belonged to the Wudang Feijun, the most adept at long-distance attacks among the Han army.

Starting from last night, everyone has been marching in a hurry until now. They only rested twice in the middle and spent the rest of the time on the road. No one fell behind and no one complained. This shows that the Wudang Flying Army has strong physical strength and strong will.

Military discipline is strict.

Yang Qing was walking in the middle of the team, and he looked back at the soldiers behind him. Although many of them were panting and sweating profusely, no one was complaining about being tired or exhausted. He felt sorry for him.

I was very satisfied with the performance of this powerful army and couldn't help but nodded with pleasure.

However, when he thought about the critical situation on the Wei River, Wei Jun Yan He's troops were very likely to break through his own defense line and cross to the south bank, thereby ruining his overall deployment. His mood took a sharp turn for the worse, and his originally relaxed brows became tightly knitted involuntarily.

.

Just as Yang Qing was thinking about whether to adjust his plan, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from ahead. He looked up and saw three sergeants wearing Han army standard leather armor galloping towards the army.

Come.

Although the cavalry seemed to be one of his own, the captain Ji Tao who was leading the way still ordered the front troops to be on guard and went up to him personally to inquire about the situation. After a while, he led a cavalryman to Yang Qing.

"Your Majesty, this person is a sergeant under the command of General Qi Hu. He was ordered by General Qi to come here to report the situation of the battle on the Wei River. I have just verified his identity and there is no problem."

Yang Qing nodded: "Well, you can continue to clear the way. I will ask him myself."

"promise."

After Ji Tao left, Yang Qing, escorted by Zhou Xing, Wu Que and his party, left the brigade and came to the roadside. He dismounted and rested for a while, and asked about the situation on the front line.

"What's the situation at Wang's ferry? Has the Wei army captured the ferry and crossed to the south bank?"

The sergeant bowed and replied: "If we go back to Junhou, the Wangjia Ferry is safe and in the hands of our army. General Feng Chong led the cavalry to arrive in time for reinforcements, and successfully repelled the Wei army after killing hundreds of people. General Qi was spared."

The prince was worried, so he ordered the three young men to come and report."

When Yang Qing heard that the hanging stone finally fell to the ground, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Okay, Qi Hu, Feng Chong did a good job. This battle was finally a close call." After a pause,

Then he asked: "Where has the Wei army retreated now? Where are Qi Hu and the others?"

"According to reports from scouts, the Wei army has withdrawn to the camp on the north bank of Taipingdu to rest, and General Qi and General Feng have also led the main force of the army back to Taipingdu to continue the confrontation with the enemy across the river." the sergeant replied.

Yang Qing nodded and said: "I understand. You should return to the camp immediately and tell Qi Hu and Feng Chong that I will be here shortly."

"No." The sergeant clasped his fists and accepted the order, then mounted his horse and left.

Yang Qing turned around and said to Zhou Xing: "De Mao, send someone to call Yu She." Zhou Xing agreed and immediately sent two personal guards to the back of the team.

During this march, Yang Qing took the school captain Ji Tao as the vanguard, General Yu She as the rearguard, and he himself was in the center to hold down the formation.

Besides Yang Qing himself, General Pi Yu She had the highest military position. He was the direct commander of this five thousand useless flying army. Now that Yang Qing was planning a mission, he had to discuss it with him.

Soon, Yu She was ordered to arrive and greeted him with cupped fists. Yang Qing did not hesitate, and after humming, he pointed at the map spread out on the stone and said: "Just now, Qi Hu sent someone to report that the war on the front line has ended.

, Wangjia Ferry was safe and was still in the hands of our army. The Wei army retreated to Taiping Ferry and continued to confront Qi Hu and others across the river.

Since several ferries on the south bank of the Wei River are still in our hands, the original plan will not be changed. The army is now less than twenty miles away from the Wei River, and it is time to change its route and direction.

General Yu She, you will immediately lead your troops to the Maple Ferry upstream, cross quietly to the north bank, and then quickly circle back behind the Wei army to cut off their return route to Anling."

"I will obey your order." Yu She said with his fists clasped.

After saying that, he got on his horse and rushed back to the team to issue the military order to divert. Soon, the five thousand troops changed their marching direction, left the flat road and entered the valley path, diagonally heading towards the Maple Leaf Ferry in the northwest.

When the army gradually went away, Yang Qing got on his horse and said loudly to Zhou Xing and others: "Let's go, it's time for us to leave." After that, he led everyone towards Taiping Ferry.

At Taiping Ferry, at the Chinese army's tent, Qi Hu and Feng Chong saluted Yang Qing with fists in their hands: "I've seen the envoy."

"That's all, we are all our own people, so there is no need to stick to etiquette. Let's sit down and talk." Yang Qing waved his hand and said with a smile.

After everyone was seated, Yang Qing asked: "Is there any movement on the opposite side of the Wei army?"

"Back to the envoy, since the enemy's main force withdrew to the main camp in the morning, the gate of the camp has been closed tightly. They have not come out. I think they are still resting and recuperating." Qi Hu said.

Feng Chong said: "Although the Wei army did not suffer much losses in the morning battle, after all, the soldiers must be exhausted after traveling for dozens of miles back and forth. And if they fail to force the crossing, their morale will also plummet. If I were Yan He, I would not be here today or tomorrow."

action."

"Well, having said that, you should not be careless. I finally deceived Cao Zhen and others and came here, but I can't let Yan and this big fish escape," Yang Qing said.

Qi Hu said: "Don't worry, General Feng and I have sent extra manpower to closely monitor the surroundings of the Wei camp. We will never let them sneak away again."

Yang Qing nodded with satisfaction. Feng Chong asked: "By the way, Sir, aren't you attacking Chang'an? Why did you suddenly lead your army here? Could it be that you came here specifically to eat Yan and this Wei army?"

"You can say that."

Yang Qing smiled, and then sighed softly: "Well, although our army came to capture Chang'an this time, the city of Chang'an is strong and thick after all, and Cao Zhen and others are not easy people. I really don't want to let the soldiers

They attacked with all their might.

Since Chang'an is difficult to capture for a while, I designed to deceive Cao Zhen and others and quietly lead 5,000 troops to leave, rush here and join forces with you to annihilate the Yan He tribe. If I can annihilate all the thousands of Wei troops on the opposite side, it will be considered as the victory of this Eastern Conference.

Our journey was not in vain."

These words did not fully reveal Yang Qing's true thoughts. In fact, his ultimate goal in launching this campaign from the beginning was not to regain Chang'an, because he knew that under the current conditions, it would be difficult to break through Cao Zhen's army within a few days.

Chang'an City, which was guarded personally, had some hope of breaking the city unless a forceful attack was launched at the expense of the lives of the soldiers.

However, he did not want to do this, so he had placed the real goal of this battle elsewhere from the very beginning. Eating Yan Hebu was part of this goal, and it was the first part.

For this reason, Yang Qing did not hesitate to hide it from everyone, including Feng Chong and his own people. When everyone thought that he was going to gather troops to besiege Chang'an, he suddenly and quietly led his troops to leave the group last night and rushed to the south bank of the Wei River.

.

Previously, Yang Qing first pulled out the nail in Huaili, and then isolated Yan Hebu, thus turning Chang'an into an isolated city, and thus made a show of vowing to take it down.

Finally, he personally shouted at the gate of Chang'an City to persuade Cao Zhen and others to surrender, which deepened the impression in front of everyone that he wanted to regain Chang'an. In this way, Cao Zhen and others could never imagine that his real goal was not Chang'an.
