The next night, 20,000 Zhaowu troops, fully armed, neatly lined, and high morale. Under the leadership of Shen Ning and Yang Zhi, they are about to embark on this journey.

Li Zhao felt a little uneasy in his heart, and before Shen Ning left, he instructed many times: "Pay attention to concealed whereabouts on the road, try to avoid the main road, and walk more deep mountains and old forests, even if it will cause the journey to become longer." When attacking the Qi army, it is best to choose the evening time. "

Defeated the Wei army twice before, and captured a large amount of Wei army's armor and other equipment. Li Zhao handed them all over to Shen Ning, and if necessary, he could pretend to be Wei Jun.

Shen Ning responded one by one and said goodbye to Li Zhao, and the 20,000-strong army quickly disappeared into the night.

On the way, Yang Zhi asked Shen Ning: "In order to prevent being killed by the enemy, the Qi army arranged a large number of secret sentinels and ambushes within a radius of dozens of miles. How can our army successfully bypass it? Without being discovered in advance.

Shen Ning replied honestly: "I don't know!"

Yang Zhi was speechless, this trip was so important, Shen Ning hadn't even thought about it, so he set off directly with the troops, he originally thought that Shen Ning had some clever plan.

He was much older than Shen Ning, but he had to obey Shen Ning's orders, and he was dissatisfied in his heart, and said unhappily: "The marshal handed over such a heavy task to General Shen, but General Shen said that he didn't know. Wouldn't this be a disappointment to the commander?" Shen

Ning was not angry, and smiled faintly, "The strength of the Qi army is limited, and most of the troops are confronting the Wei army. Hanzhong is mountainous, and it is impossible for the Qi army to set up ambushes on all mountain roads, and there is always a way to pass.

Shen Ning's words did not dispel Yang Zhi's concerns. But Shen Ning is the main general after all, and the military law of the Zhaowu Army is strict, and Yang Zhi has two more complaints at most, and he can't interfere.

After that, Shen Ning sent a hundred scouts. Fifty men were responsible for scouting the way ahead, and the others were responsible for clearing the traces of the Zhaowu army's march. The whole army rested in the woods during the day and marched at night.

If he met local people on the way, Shen Ning had a cordial attitude, gave them money and food, and said kind words to appease them, saying that the army was going to Nanzheng to eradicate the corrupt official Wang Jing's righteous army.

When the people are in a stable mood, ask if there are any Qi troops nearby, or if there are other soldiers and horses passing by.

The people hated Wang Jing in their hearts, and when they saw that Shen Ning was kind and didn't look like a wicked person, most of them would tell the truth.

Yang Zhi was worried that his whereabouts would be exposed, and wanted to kill the people, but was stopped by Shen Ning. Yang Zhi was unhappy in his heart, and felt that Shen Ning was too soft-hearted. But the next thing made him dare not underestimate Shen Ning anymore.

On this day, the Zhaowu army, as usual, rested in the dense forest. A few of the soldiers, perhaps in high spirits, were telling some interesting stories under the tree, and the laughter was so loud that the birds in the trees were frightened and flew up from the branches.

Seeing this, Shen Ning called these soldiers and said lightly: "If the enemy is in the distance, and you see many birds suddenly flying out of the forest, you will definitely guess that there are people in the forest, and the whereabouts of our army may be exposed, and this trip will also fail." The

soldier was shocked and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"I was supposed to beat you forty boards. Hit twenty hits first, and then fight bravely to kill the enemy, and I will dispense with the remaining twenty boards. I

thought that Shen Ning would behead them, but the soldiers had tears in their eyes and thanked them again and again.

After this incident, the whole army paid more attention to concealment, and no one dared to speak loudly.

Six days later, the whole army was only halfway there.

Yang Zhi was a little anxious: "I'm not complaining about General Shen. However, in order to avoid the Qi army, General Shen made many detours before, and rarely marched during the day. At today's speed, it will be difficult to reach in four days. "

Well, let's go a little faster.

Yang Zhi saw that Shen Ning was still calm and relaxed, and he also felt helpless. Along the way, he had never seen Shen Ning in a hurry.

During the day, it rained, and the raindrops were sometimes heavy and sometimes light. Because the rainy weather helped to hide the traces, Shen Ning canceled the original rest time and ordered the whole army to march immediately.

On the eighth day of the march, the Zhaowu army rested in the woods. Discovered by an old man hunting, the old man was brought to Shen Ning.

Shen Ning gave the old man some food and drink, and sat on the ground and chatted with the old man.

The old man ate the meat, his mood was much more relaxed, and he said curiously: "I remember yesterday, didn't you just pass by here?

Shen Ning's eyes lit up, he glanced at Yang Zhi, and said, "Don't hide it from the old man, we are together." Lost in the mountains, resulting in separation. How long they walked and in which direction, do you remember. The

old man pointed in one direction and said, "They have been walking for five or six hours, and many of them are wounded.

"Thank you, old man, all this wine and meat are yours."

After the old man left, Yang Zhi hurriedly said: "We are now dressed as Wei Jun, which caused this person to misunderstand." From his mouth, he could guess that the Wei army passed by here, and it should have fought with the Qi army before. Our army has never encountered the Qi army, most likely because this Wei army has attracted the attention of the Qi army. "

Yes.

"Since the Wei army has been discovered by the Qi army, if our army is still following it, it is possible that it will also be discovered. Next, do you want to take other roads?"

Shen Ning shook his head slightly, "This place is not far from Tianze Mountain, and it can be reached in one day by a rapid march, and the Qi army must have more secret posts nearby." Even if you take other roads, you can't guarantee that you won't be discovered, so it's better to follow behind the Wei army. When it matters, it can also help. "

Help Wei Jun?" Yang Zhi secretly pondered this sentence, and quickly understood what Shen Ning meant.

The whole army stopped resting and immediately pursued the Wei army.

...........................................

At this time, Han Qing's armor was already in tatters, and there were still slight knife marks on his face, but his gaze was still firm.

After leading the troops from the big battalion, less than two days later, they were discovered by the Qi army.

Han Qing defeated the small Qi army many times, which immediately attracted the attention of the Qi army. Liu Sihong ordered Xia Baiwei to lead his troops to intercept the Wei army.

Xia Baiwei led thousands of troops and stationed them in dangerous places. Han Qing was in a disadvantageous terrain and personally led his troops to charge, but he never broke through the defense line of the Qi army, but lost 2,000 troops.

Han Qing saw that the Qi army was well defended, so he immediately made a decision, since he couldn't rush over, he would take a long way to bypass.

But Xia Baiwei would not let him get his wish, and sent a large number of scouts along the way to keep an eye on the Wei army. After that, there were no big wars, small wars continued, and Han Qing was frequently harassed by the Qi army.

Han Qing's willpower is extremely tenacious, no matter what difficulties he encounters, no matter how far he has to detour, his goal has never changed.

It is getting closer and closer to Tianze Mountain, and at the current speed, it can be reached in one day.

Not surprisingly, Wei Jun was stopped by Xia Baiwei again. Four thousand Qi troops, although the number is not as good as the Wei army. But with the favorable terrain, it was enough to block the Wei army.
