"During the festival, beware of fraud."

A staff officer reminded Zhao Gui that at this time Xie Ling suddenly sent someone to ask for help from the inner supporter and asked the Qin army to respond, which seemed very subtle.

"What you said is very likely, but it is only possible." As the commander of the First Army, Zhao Gui had to consider many issues. For example, he was ordered to attack Zhuo County. Although the progress was smooth, he was also in trouble now. First, with the victory of the attack, his troops had already been out of the army for more than 200 miles.

If it is more than 200 miles on the plain, the light cavalry can reach it in one day and night.

However, after leaving Jundu Pass, the terrain along the way was not flat, especially the 36-mile canyon path that left Jundu Pass, which was even more difficult to travel. In addition, in summer, it was extremely inconvenient to transport grain. During this period of time, Zhuo County was occupied by Gao Tansheng, not only did it have no production and storage, but it was left empty everywhere.

It is difficult to replenish local supplies.

The more troops are sent, the greater the logistical pressure on Zhao Gui.

But now Gao Kaidao led a large army back to Huairong. If there was no sufficient food and grass, Zhao Gui would not be able to fight this battle.

"I know some details about this person Gao Kaidao."

This founding hero, known as the Purple-faced Heavenly King, used to follow the emperor to march north to the east, and he was passing by Pingyuan County to suppress bandits.

"As for the fact, it was the sixth year of Daye. It has been eight years since then. We were ordered to go north to Zhuo County to gather and prepare for the eastern expedition. When we passed by Pingyuan County, Liu Town, Lujiaoguan, will ask His Majesty to help eliminate the uncle Liu Badao in Douzigang...."

Speaking of that past, Zhao Gui was still very excited. At that time, he was just the leader of the team.

"Gao Kaidao was from Hejian, and he was the first to follow Ge Qian, and Ge Qian was the brother of Liu Badao. Gao Kaidao was a salt household who made a living for generations. He was very strong when he was young. When he grew up, he ran and ran very fast. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the lives of the people were hard, especially those in Hebei and Henan. Because of the heavy slaughter of the Liao Dynasty, many people began to flee."

Gao Kaidao also fled because of this, and later joined his fellow villager Ge Qian. He worked hard and bravely, but Ge Qian did not take it seriously. Until Luo Cheng and his friends surrounded Douzigang, Ge Qian was surrounded. It was Ge Qian who was seriously injured when Gao Kaidao stood up and escaped with him. After that, Ge Qian regarded him as a brother and valued him very much.

Although Douzigang was surrounded by Luo Cheng at that time and was greatly injured in his vitality, after Luo Cheng went north, Ge Qian and others quickly made a comeback and their power quickly recovered. They conquered the city and robbed the ground, and robbed everywhere. During this period, Gao Kaidao became an important general under Ge Qian.

Not only did Luo Cheng return to the Eastern Expedition and serve as Henan ambassador to arrest him, Ge Qian defeated Luo Cheng again, but this time he lost his life.

Gao Kaidao escaped with only more than a hundred people and hid at the beach for a long time.

It was not until Luo Cheng entered Liao again that he returned to the world.

Many years after that, he stood up and relied on other forces, but after fighting, he did not make any name for himself.

Later, Shandong was controlled by Luo Cheng, and most of Hebei was controlled by Dou Jiande. Gao Kaidao was mixed up and then he got to the hands of King Xuba of Shanggu.

Not long after, Wang Xuba died, and the thieves of Shanggu surrendered to the Qin army. Gao Kaidao also surrendered and was granted the position of lieutenant.

Originally, if he had the right amount, then this was a good opportunity to whitewash. He could start over, abandon his past identity as a bandit, and become a Qin officer.

But the person who was used to being the leader of the traitor suddenly adapted to the rules and regulations in the official army. Besides, the surrendered officers of his background were not very popular.

So when chaos arose in the north, Gaokaidao simply turned back.

But after all, he was just a bandit and was soon defeated, so he went to Gao Tansheng. When he got support from Jie Li, he would kill Gao Tansheng, who had already figured out the details of him when he came back.

"In a certain opinion, Gao Kaidao was always just a bandit, and a bandit with no ability." Zhao Gui looked down on Gao Kaidao very much. He had a precious opportunity before him, but he didn't know how to cherish it.

As an emperor, how could the emperor be so easy?

Zhao Gui had never heard of Xie Ling's name, nor did he know this person, but since this person was once Gao Tansheng's adopted son and was also the general of the Left Wu Guard, the prince of Yan County, he was awarded the title of title. Now that Gao Kaidao killed Gao Tansheng, Xie Ling wanted to surrender internally, which was completely understandable.

"If Xie Leng is an internal support, our army can easily seize Huairong of Zhuo County, defeat Gao Kaidao, and avoid the current difficulties, so it is completely worth a try."

"What if this is a trap?"

"When we fight, there is no one who doesn't take risks. As long as we are prepared enough, it's fine."

Zhao Gui ordered Deng Yang, the governor of Yuyang County, the former army, to lead the army to pick up Xie Leng, and then rushed over.

Huairong.

Deng Qing received the order from Zhao Guijun, and was worried.

But since the military order has been issued, he has to implement it.

late at night.

Several red lanterns lit up on the head of Huairong City. When Deng Xiao saw this, he ordered the soldiers who had already prepared to touch the city gate quietly.

The jumping sword soldiers came to the city and found that there was indeed no defense in front of the city and the city gate was already wide open.

"I'm Xie Ling, please follow me into the city and kill Gao Zhe!"

A general shouted in front of the city gate.

Deng Yang had no doubts anymore and ordered the entire army to rush into the city.

Inner city, in the government office.

Gao Kaidao was drinking tea leisurely, and his general Zhang Jinshu stepped in.

"Has Qin thieves entered the city?"

"Your Majesty, the Qin army has already been counted into the city."

"Hahaha, it's true that it's not as expected. It's great. Send a signal to the Turks outside the city and let them attack. It's time to close the net."

But Zhang Jinshu has not moved for a long time.

"What else?"

Zhang Jinshu stood there and said slowly, "I have been following His Majesty for ten years."

"Yes, ten years pass by in a flash, time passes so quickly."

Zhang Jinshu continued, "It's been ten years since I fought, killed, ran around and fled, and I haven't lived a safe life for a day. To be honest, I've lived enough and tired. Originally, my brothers followed His Majesty to join the Qin Dynasty last year and had settled down."

Gao Kaidao frowned.

"Ashu, it was a temporary measure when I brought my brothers to the Qin army, but you also saw that those Qin officers would not treat us as their own people at all and looked down on us everywhere. What's the point of such a frustrating life?"

"But after all, this is the opportunity to wash your hands and get ashore. To be honest, my brothers have been stained with blood over the years, and everyone is tired of it."

"Ashu, what do you want to say?"

"Actually, when we were in Shanggu, many of us no longer wanted to rebel. It was you who forced everyone to rebel again. But when you think about it, what is the point of all this? Is it just to be the emperor today, but how many days can this emperor be?"

"Rareless!" Gao Kaidao felt something was wrong.

"Hahaha, I've been with you for ten years and called you for ten years. Sorry, I'm tired and don't want to rebel with you anymore."

"Here you come, protect us!" Gao Kaidao shouted.

"It's useless. I've been on guard against your more than 100 adopted sons. During the day, I sent someone to pretend to drink with them, took the opportunity to cut off their bowstrings, and just now someone took their swords and guns. Moreover, more than half of your adopted sons actually hate to continue like this."

At this time, the sound of impetuousness was finally spread outside.

"I'll tell you one more thing. Xie Ling has been convinced by me, so he did not surrender to the Qin army, but to surrender. Now he has brought the Qin army into the city."

"Damn it!"

Gao Kaidao was furious and stood up and lifted up the big knife on the side.

Zhang Jinshu drew his sword and shouted loudly.

The door outside was knocked open, and Zhang Jinshu's personal soldiers rushed in with their knives.

Half an hour later, Deng Hao entered Yacheng with the support of his personal soldiers.

Zhang Jinshu welcomed Gao Kaidao with his head.

"Is this Gao Kaidao?"

"Yes."

After verification, Deng Hao asked someone to pack it in mercury boxes and sent it to Zhao Gui to report the victory.

A generation of heroes Gao Kaidao, who killed the Mahayana Buddhist emperor Gao Tansheng, called himself Emperor Yan, but after becoming emperor for only three days, he was killed by Zhang Jinshu, the general under his command.

Originally, he wanted to set up an ambush to lure the Qin army into the city to gather and annihilate, but he didn't expect that the fake drama would come true. Not only did the Qin army really enter the city, but he also lost his head.

Five thousand Turkic soldiers were waiting outside the city for the order to attack, but they could not wait. Instead, they waited almost dawn to fight the Qin army and the Yan army. After a big battle, the five thousand Turkic soldiers either died or surrendered, and the entire army was gone.

A few days later, Zhao Gui led his personal troops to Huairong, Zhuo County.

At this time, the battle had already ended. The Qin army restored the land of Zhuo County. Deng Hao also sent an army out of the Great Wall to enter Huaihuang and guard the way out of the frontier here.

When Zhao Gui saw Gao Kaidao's lifelike head soaked in mercury, he couldn't help but exclaim, "I really didn't expect such a twists and turns. If Zhang Jinshu and others had not been war-weary, I would have almost fallen into Gao Kaidao's trap."

"After the festival, Zhuo County has been recovered, next?"

"Zhuo County has been restored, and we will go to the clouds to help." Zhao Gui asked someone to take the map and point to the outer Great Wall on the map. "We will march along the ancient road at the foot of the outer Great Wall and head to the clouds."

Deng Hao looked at the map and said, "The road is dangerous and difficult to walk on the Great Wall. From then on, there are five or six hundred miles to the clouds, but I am afraid that the food and grass will not keep up."

"I know, but we don't need to rush to Yunzhong City directly. As long as we can appear in the northeast of Yunzhong County, we can also put pressure on the Turks to make their scoring troops stop them."

"Why not go to Lingqiu first?" Deng Hao asked.

"Liu Heita from Lingqiu is General Feng's mission, not ours. We have recovered Zhuo County, so we need to rush to reinforce Yunzhong now. It would be better to leave the Lingqiu to General Feng."

"As for the food and grass problem, there are no difficulties to be solved, and if there are difficulties, you have to find a way to solve them."

"What about these soldiers who surrendered here?"

"Pick the elites to join the army, and place the rest on the spot as military farms and grant them to the fields."
