It turns out that the Grand Marshal knew Concubine Rong, and there seemed to be some entanglement. However, according to the age of the Grand Marshal, although he did not know the age of Concubine Rong, according to the custom of women in the empire being able to get married in the 28th year, and then compare the age of the seventh prince, Concubine Rong thought it was too young to be a daughter for the Grand Marshal!

With this idea in his mind, and combined with the general's belief that he regarded the Seventh Prince as a puppet for the safety of the Seventh Prince, the young general had some clarity in his heart.

But the young general dared not talk to him casually because of such extremely personal things. Who knows if the coach will be angry and embarrassed after he finishes his feelings?

After a silence, the young general found that it was uncomfortable for everyone not to speak, so he couldn't help but ask: "Master, is our target this time Zhao Hujun?" When he said that, the young general couldn't help looking around, as if he was afraid that someone would hear it.

"Zhao Hu, haha, right?"

Kate said this and his head shaking, as if he was preparing to look around like a young general, but he controlled it in advance, and then smiled with a self-deprecating smile: "Actually, I'm not afraid that Zhao Hujun will know the news when he says it. Why do you say that? First of all, the other party must have received the news of our troops at this moment and started to mobilize troops. However, because we are strict in our tone, they cannot determine the direction of our breakthrough.

"Of course, when we walked to this position, they would definitely be able to determine the direction, but this took a lot of time, but we would arrive at the eastern grassland area of ​​the coastal province at noon tomorrow. On this spacious ground that is most suitable for cavalry combat, our cavalry dare not say that they are invincible, but they are also powerful."

Seeing that Kate had lost the tenderness he had just now, the young player couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the coach finally returned to normal.

Thinking of this, the young general asked excitedly: "Master, although the ground is very suitable for our cavalry combat, there is no important city of Zhao Hu. His subordinates even dared to conclude that there is no people's life on that grassland.

"Because it is said that the people in Zhao Hu's territory are arranged according to the rules of living in nearby cities."

Kate smiled and said, "Ha, the first step we have to enter the coastal province is to gain a foothold. That grassland is convenient for our cavalry division to rest and fight."

Even if the opponent has gathered two divisions of troops to march towards the east, we can still enter the grassland ahead and block the first round of attacks from the enemy.

If you enter in other directions, on the terrain full of hills and woods, don’t think about cavalry charge first, and it will definitely be divided into several parts by the terrain. At that time, you will be attacked by Zhao Hu’s army, which is mainly infantry, and you may not even be able to take back half of the troops.”

The young general nodded and looked at the cavalry of the division that these commanders had accumulated with great effort. The young general could only sigh helplessly.

Most coastal provinces are hilly areas with many mountains and trees. It is time to laugh at the cavalry that can exert half of their strength in this place. Only the hinterland of the empire and the northern border of the empire. If it were in these places, with the cavalry of a division, the provinces controlled by the commander would have been several more.

"In fact, the goal this time is not to capture the territory of Zhao Hujun." As soon as Kate said this, the young general was stunned. It took so much effort to summon so many troops to completely defeat the other party? Isn't this a killing tiger and suffering? The young general hurriedly dissuaded.

Kate smiled and said, "This is impossible. Can cavalry attack cities? No, it is difficult for a single army to seize a city, but if we take other troops, we will be blocked by the enemy on these mountain roads and will be wiped out by the entire army at any time."

"Then what are we doing this time?" the young general asked anxiously.

"Haha, Zhao Hujun did not place most of his people and important industries in the city like us. The gathering places and various workshops of Zhao Hujun's people were built around cities.

"As long as our cavalry is not blocked by the enemy, we can definitely wipe out all the villages outside the city inside Zhao Hu's territory. Even if we cannot destroy the foundation of Zhao Hu's army, it will save him half of his life!"

Speaking of this, the light in Kate's eyes was as bright as the moon and starlight! For this, the young player knew that the coach's decision was right without thinking.

About an hour later, Kate got up and waved his hand: "Okay! Have a close rest, continue the march!"

The troops moved forward slowly again.

After Kate left, the place near his resting place shook for a while, and a black shadow with a black robe shook by. Since the front army had left and the rear army had not yet followed, no one noticed the black shadow.

In the territory of Zhao Hu's army, with the sound of a horn of military mobilization, the Zhao Hu army scattered to various places, and immediately approached the higher level of organization.

When the garrison in the hinterland of Zhao Hu Army assembled into the corps, it automatically stopped aggregation and then began to advance towards the border of the sea spring.

However, the left-behind corps scattered and entered the nearby important cities to guard the city, and the public security of the people was also handed over to the guards temporarily formed by the Shangmin and the gentry.

Except for encountering patrols composed of locals on the street from time to time, the people in these places cannot feel the arrival of the atmosphere of war, and life remains the same.

The garrisons on the border of Zhao Hu Army, especially those adjacent to Haiquan Province, quickly assembled into a corps, immediately marched in a certain direction, and then assembled while marching. In the end, the two brigades appeared.

The villages and towns scattered in the countryside, under the command of Shangmin and the gentry, packed up their houses and moved to the nearby cities. When the villagers left, the originally noisy place was immediately deserted and silent. All the things that could be moved were moved away.

The slaves who were working in the local area were also reorganized and weapons were distributed. These slaves were 700 to 80% prisoners of war captured by Zhao Hu's army, and their military qualities were much better than ordinary people. They were equipped with weapons and organized, and soon armed slave brigades were formed one by one. Then, under the leadership of the captains who came from the airborne, they followed the footsteps of Zhao Hu's army to a certain direction.

As for worrying that the slaves will riot? This is a waste of worrying.

I am afraid of comparison in everything. Think about the treatment of slaves now, think about the experience of being a soldier in the past, think about the very clear requirements for level improvement in Zhao Hujun, and think about the ability in other places who are capable of getting promoted and will be embezzled. From these comparisons, we can find that the treatment of civilians in other places is even worse than that of slaves in Zhao Hujun. Since this is the case, idiots know how to choose.

Zhou Xiang is such a slave who knows how to choose.

He was caught at the age of seventeen and did not admit that he was a prisoner of war because he had never used a knife. How could he be a prisoner of war?

However, everyone sneered at this question. Now Zhao Hu’s army has only slaves but no prisoners of war. Since this is the case, why do you still know whether you are a prisoner of war? Do you still want to use this to get rid of your status as a slave? Dreaming in the daytime!

Zhou Xiang’s idea is really like this, but unfortunately he is not recognized.

Originally, according to his cleverness, it was easy to get the people of the people when Zhao Hujun arrived. Unfortunately, the master family he served was clamoring to break the family and fight the enemy. A small local tyrant with only thirty or forty people in the whole family, including the gatekeeper, actually took the initiative to attack Zhao Hujun, a brigade who was organized by a brigade passing by in front of the door.

The result is conceivable. This little tycoon was instantly destroyed. Zhou Xiang, who had not yet realized what had happened, became a slave.

When Zhou Xiang heard that he had become a slave, he could already imagine what his future would be like. At that time, while claiming to be unlucky, he also began to plan how to escape from the slave camp.

But the rest of his life surprised Zhou Xiang.

On the day he entered the slave camp, he started to register his identity and name and then received the distribution products. Like many people, Zhou Xiang looked at the things in his hand in a daze, a set of washing utensils and three sets of changing clothes, and these things were actually brand new! When he was a servant, he got a new piece of clothes. Now he is a slave, but there are three sets?!

When we were having the first meal at the slave camp, everyone was shocked again. The food was actually coarse grains, dried vegetables, green vegetable soup, and it was enough to use unlimited amounts!

Knowing this, Zhou Xiang and others immediately thought they were in heaven. No wonder, in this year, their longing for heaven was so simple. Because even the staple food of the rich family had long been replaced with coarse grains.

In the era of warlords fighting, what left behind after a war? The old, weak, sick and disabled, who were hungry everywhere, were extremely short of food!

It is very simple to say that warlords only pursue victory in their battles, so when the war is fierce, they will even pull all the males within their control into the army. After a war is over, there will be no more than half of the strong men on both sides.

Some crazy losers, in order to retaliate against the winners, even burn all the stored grain and farmland. This would be strange if there is no shortage of food.

Therefore, although the empire was not under warlords for a long time, at least 10% of its strong men in the empire were lost, and the grain output was so low that it could not even meet the current population, let alone any increase in production.

So in this year, everyone has lived without a meal. Now when we encounter food that is full, we should not eat it with our stomachs.

Zhou Xiang, who was so full of his stomach that he could not walk completely, thought like everyone else that if he could keep eating like this, it would be nothing more to be a slave.
Chapter completed!
