On the fourth, fifth, and sixth days, it was not until the evening of the seventh day that Tanmuzi and the monk arrived, but in fact they had already set off before the seventh day, and the reason why the road was so slow was because the imperial court sent the prince and the princess of Ji to bring a large amount of food to reward the three armies, and the two of them marched east with the team, so the time was delayed.
The atmosphere between the three Shi Zhen brothers and sisters seemed to be very harmonious at this meeting, and the reason was very simple, Shi Zhen Baoju Mo asked Mo to take on the role of protecting the country, so she was in a very good mood.
And the prince and Shi Zhen are the same party, and Mo Wen wiped out more than 20,000 cavalry of the Yan army in the first battle, which is also a happy event for the prince.
And Princess Ji is in a good mood because Shi Zhen asked the court to transfer a monk, and all of them are recommended by her and the second prince and the third prince, and if she makes a contribution, she will also have glory on her face.
After the dinner, the three siblings of the royal family left Mo Wen to speak, and Mo Wen muttered for a moment and left Tan Muzi and the monk named Jiechen, a move to show trust and respect to the two.
The topic of discussion is the war that the court of Zhao State is most concerned about, whether it is the prince or the princess Ji, they all think that the previous war can be decided in one fell swoop, and then it is only necessary to sweep away the remaining sins, Mo Wen and Shi Zhen did not hesitate to pour cold water on the two, the three counties and sixteen states occupied by the Yan State are very likely to have a large number of strange beasts and profound wizards, and it is not an overnight task to recover the sixteen states one by one.
In addition, the Tanma hidden in the territory of Yan also sent back news early this morning, intercepting the letter bird sent by Yan to Goguryeo, and learned that Yan had ordered 50,000 Yan soldiers on an expedition to Goguryeo to rush to the aid of the three counties.
In this case, not only could not 20,000 soldiers be reduced, but it was also necessary to be prepared for a protracted and bitter battle with the enemy.
"Amitabha, the poor monk has something unclear, and he needs to consult the three Chitose and the real protector of the country," said the Jee Chen, who was sitting at the bottom.
Mo Wen didn't answer, Shi Zhen looked at the prince, and the prince raised his hand and said, "Master, please speak." ” "That Yan country is a small border country, and it is not good at building boats, how can it cross the sea to the east," said Jiechen.
"What the Absolute Dust Master said is extremely true, and the poor Dao is also puzzled."
Sandalwood agreed.
After the two of them spoke, the three princes, brothers and sisters did not answer immediately, but shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and they couldn't bear to explain, "Master Juechen and Sandalwood Zhenren don't know that Goguryeo is a country located in the northeast of Yan Kingdom, not a Goryeo who crosses the sea. ” Jiechen and Sandalwood were embarrassed when they heard this, and when they first came here, they showed that they were unfamiliar with geography and unfamiliar with the environment.
"The two auxiliary countries are both from the Central Plains, and it is reasonable to come to the unknown geography of the northeast border, so you can take more care of Mo Zhenren in the future."
The crown prince took the opportunity to emphasize Mo Wen's commander-in-chief.
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Amitabha, follow the will of the prince."
Sandalwood and Jiechen agreed in unison.
When Zhao set up the county capital and county, he may have taken into account the foreign invasion in the north, and the county capital and state capital of the three counties probed to the northeast in the shape of an arrow, showing the horn of each other's aid, such a layout was suitable for northern defense.
At this time, the three counties have fallen, and if you want to counterattack and recapture, you need to do the opposite, to put it bluntly, there are many cities to conquer at the beginning, and the further north you fight, the fewer cities there are.
This situation suddenly looks, it seems that the most difficult battle is in the early stage, but in fact, it is not, in the early stage, the Yan army needs to defend a lot of city passes, so the troops and beasts will be relatively scattered, the further north it goes, the less the Yan army needs to defend the city, and there are remnants of the army withdrawn from the front to help defend the city, it is relatively difficult to conquer the city and recover the state and county.
Before this, Mo Wen had already seen the map and knew that this was the case, and it was just a courtesy to take out the map and show it to everyone at this time, and there was also a purpose to let the prince and Princess Ji know that the war would become more and more difficult, so that they could be prepared for long-term protection.
At the same time, it also paves the way for the future as soon as possible, lest the progress of recovering the lost territory become slower and slower, and the court will misunderstand that he is deliberately delaying.
Then there is the question of dividing the troops, which is also the reason why Princess Ji has to follow this time, she naturally hopes that the two people recommended by her side can bring more soldiers and horses, Mo Wen knows what it means, and without waiting for him to open his mouth, he proposed that the two of them each bring 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the dust will go to the northwest Huang County, and the sandalwood will go to the southeast Bai County, and he will lead 10,000 troops to the middle road.
Naturally, no one will object to such an arrangement, not even Shi Zhen has any objections, because she sits in Heijun and controls the grain and grass, as long as she controls the grain and grass, she holds the lifeblood of the army.
Sandalwood Zi and Juechen didn't expect Mo Wen to value them so much, and they were a little frightened, Mo Wen smiled and nodded at the two of them to calm their hearts.
Followed by the north and south of the army and horses with the general candidates, on this issue Mo Wen and the prince had a disagreement, the prince wanted to send Tulu to serve again, Mo Wen resolutely did not, suggested that Ma Pingchuan's deputy general and Jiechen with the attack of Huang County, as the saying goes, the general will not be subject to the order of the monarch outside, the prince finally could not ask Mo Wen, can only give in.
Everything was agreed, everyone retreated and went back to their rooms, and Mo asked to push the door into the house in the east courtyard, and Shi Zhen followed in.
"You shouldn't have disgraced him in public."
Shi Zhen said.
"I'm not afraid of the storm, I'm afraid of the disaster, Tulu has a prejudice against me, this person can't be used."
Mo Wen naturally knew that he was referring to the crown prince in Shi Zhen's mouth.
"You're not afraid of offending him, he'll hold a grudge," Shi Zhen asked.
"What can he do to me" Mo Wen looked at the many rewards brought by the prince, picked out two formed mountain ginseng from them, summoned the maidservant, and ordered him to send them to the dust.
"If you don't give him a gift, he'll catch the mouse for you."
Shi Zhen said angrily.
"I had humiliated him before, and this is an act of reconciliation.
It's not too early, so let's go back to our room early.
"Don't ask for words.
"Tomorrow, you will lead the army north, so you have nothing to say to me," Shi Zhen sat down and spoke.
"There are so many young talents in Zhao Kingdom, why are you embarrassed that I am a Hu person, my parents and relatives died because of the Hu people, and it is impossible for me to marry a Hu girl."
Mo Wen casually looked at those rewards and did not look back.
"There is no hope," Shi Zhen's mood was instantly depressed.
Mo Wen didn't answer immediately, because he found that after being with Shi Zhen for a long time, he seemed to be a little accustomed to her existence, although this habit was not feelings, but he didn't dare to say what it would turn into over time, because the change in people's mood was not controlled by reason.
"We can only be friends, and nothing else."
After pondering for a long time, Mo Wen shook his head and spoke.

"Hmph."
Shi Zhen snorted coldly, got up from his seat and walked out, turned around again at the door, and said "hum" again, and then went out.
After Shi Zhen left, Mo Wen frowned and stood silent for a long time, although Shi Zhen seemed to be angry, but when she left, she had a smile on her face, which showed that she was satisfied with his answer, after thinking about it carefully, Mo Wen felt that the previous answer was very problematic, it seemed to be decisive but not decisive, compared to when the two first met, it was much more relaxed.
Shi Zhen must have noticed this, although this woman was willful but very intelligent, after discovering his weakness, she would definitely use a rope to cut the wood, and the water drops to wear the stone to slowly approach.
If Shi Zhen really did it for several years, he thought to himself that he couldn't be hard-hearted, and sooner or later he would be moved by it, and there was only one way to deal with it, that is, to stay away, fortunately, Shi Zhen must not follow this battle, and there will not be many opportunities to meet in the future.
Coming back to his senses, Mo Wen found the yellow paper left over from the previous drawing of the Hidden Yang Talisman and tied it up and put it close to his body, the use of the talisman in the future will be frequent, the number of purple rune paper is limited, and the consumption of aura is heavier, if it is not necessary, the talisman should be drawn on yellow paper.
After doing this, Mo Wen got up and wanted to close the door, just as Juechen came to visit, Mo Wen welcomed him in, the maid sent tea, and the two sat opposite each other to talk, that day outside the Zhengyang Palace, Juechen was almost suffocated to death by Mo Wen's green wolf with a charm, but at the last moment, Mo Wen withdrew the spell and spared his life, Juechen had seen Mo Wen's ruthless methods, so he was very grateful for raising his hand to spare his life, and Mo Wen sent someone to give him a gift, so he came to thank him immediately after receiving the gift.
Because in the future, it is necessary to lead the army to fight together, and it is possible to rely on this person to catch the mouse, so Mo Wen and Jiechen talk more, after gossiping, talk about the Mahayana teachings and Hinayana teachings that the Peacock Ming King said that day, the age of the Peacock Ming should be around thirty years old, the young monk is not as stubborn as the old monk, he is quite interested in learning about this matter, and does not think that the Peacock Ming King is false, saying that the monks at this time are indeed inadequate, and when this matter is over, they should go to Liangguo to find it and listen to its teachings.
Jiechen has this attitude, Mo Wen is deeply gratified, whether it is an individual or a sect can not be perfect, believers blindly believe and blindly obey can only harm themselves, but if the monks and Taoist priests of the authorities can not face up to their own shortcomings, it may harm all the people, Taoists can face up to the unscrupulous Taoist indiscriminately alchemy pill poisoned Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, why can't the monks face up to the defects of their own teachings and correct them.
At the end of the third watch, the dust said goodbye, and Mo asked to lie down and rest.
The next day, it was necessary to divide the troops into three routes, Ma Pingchuan and Tanmuzi were the south roads, and they were the farthest roads, so they started first, and 20,000 troops and fireheads and grain and grass went out of the city.
Due to the large number of soldiers and horses, it was already noon when the South Road was completed, followed by the North Road led by Juechen and Li Wen, Li Wenwen was the deputy general of Ma Pingchuan, the official rank was not high, the prince saw that he was reluctant but did not ask, so he changed to win the hearts of the people, and it happened that after Pu Xiong's promotion, General Huwei was vacant, and the prince was in charge of the Taiwei Mansion, so he ordered Li Wen to fill the vacancy before the promotion, and the fourth rank was promoted to the second rank.
It was already evening when the north and south roads were all out of the city, and according to Shi Zhen's meaning, the middle road waited until tomorrow, but Mo Wen was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, and there was already moonlight at this time, so he ordered the middle road to be opened, although the army under his command was the smallest in number, but the troops were mixed, three thousand cavalry, two thousand archers, five thousand foot soldiers and a dry firehead.
"Grain and grass will be delivered monthly, so be careful and send letters frequently."
Shi Zhen said goodbye.
"You also have to be careful, there are many houses in the county, and you can change your accommodation frequently at night."
Mo Wen nodded and said, there were several Taoists and monks who retreated with Ma Pingchuan before, and he did not dispatch these people again, but stayed in the county government to protect Shi Zhen.
Shi Zhen nodded in agreement, Mo Wenchong raised his hand to the prince and princess Ji not far away, turned to sweep down the city wall, and led the army eastward:
