Chapter 468

Luyang is still located in Nanyang County, while Kunyang and Wuyang are located in Runan County.

"Keep up, don't fall behind!"

Three thousand Nanyang troops marched on the mountain road of Pingdingshan. Although compared with the Shu road, the steepness of Pingdingshan is not worth mentioning, but the Nanyang army is all from the Central Plains and has no experience in climbing mountains. Wearing heavy armor and heavy dry food, it is unavoidable to be a little out of breath when walking.

"Xiaozhi, are you okay?"

Hearing Zhang Jaw's shout, Fazheng couldn't help laughing wryly, wiped the sweat off his forehead, a strand of messy hair fell out from the helmet, but was stuck to his face with sweat again, looking quite embarrassed. Although Fazheng has also learned archery and swordsmanship, he usually rides a horse when he travels. He has suffered from the pain of walking on mountain roads, and the soles of his feet are still aching.

Zhang Jaw, on the other hand, walked much more briskly. He had superb martial arts skills and a strong body. Seeing Fazheng's distressed appearance, he hurried up to give him a hand.

"How about it, haven't you walked the mountain road?" Zhang Jai laughed.

Fazheng sat on the ground, gasped for a few breaths, smiled wryly and said, "Oh, Zhengzheng won't come up with such tricks in the future, otherwise Zhengzheng will have to be exhausted to death."

"Persevere." Zhang Jai took out a map from his waist, looked at it carefully, and replied.

He looked up at the sun hanging high above his head, saw that the soldiers were all exhausted, and immediately ordered: "Okay, stop marching, rest for a quarter of an hour and continue walking."

After the Three Thousand Nanyang Army heard Zhang Jaw's order, they breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly sat down on the ground, took off their helmets, released a burst of stored heat, and took a drink from the water bag around their waists. After taking a big mouthful, the heartbeat gradually calmed down.

"Um?"

Zhang Jaw frowned, his eyes fixed on a gently moving long grass, and then he stood up suddenly and drew his knife out of its sheath.

"Who is where? Come out!"

Zhang Jaw approached slowly, and the murderous aura of the battle field was released, and he was almost about to pounce.

"come out!"

"General, don't kill me, I come out, can't I come out?"

A trembling voice came from the long grass, and a slender and frightened Orion raised his hands and stood up, looking at Zhang Jaw in panic.

"Say! Are you a spy under Yuan Shu's command?"

Zhang Jaw let out a sharp cry, and the ring-head knife buzzed on the Orion's neck, with a frightening expression as if he wanted to swallow the Orion alive. You must know that Zhang Jaw is marching in secret and has not disclosed the news. If it is spread and Yuan Shu sends troops to guard the passes of Pingding Mountain, then these 3,000 people will starve to death in the mountain.

"No, the villain is a nearby Orion, just to support his family, not a spy." The Orion was taken aback, and his legs went limp and he knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"Hehe, don't be afraid." Fazheng came over, pressed Zhang Jaw's wrist with his palm, put down the ring head knife lightly, and said with a smile: "Where is this brother from, how far is this place from Kunyang City?" how far?"

Orion was taken aback by the murderous Zhang Jaw, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Fazheng with a friendly face, and said respectfully: "This gentleman, the villain is from the five cities of Kunyang City. It’s the middle section of Pingdingshan, go east for more than 30 miles, and not far from Pingdingshan, you will find Kunyang City.”

Fazheng smiled, cupped his hands and said, "In this way, thank you very much."

Orion lowered his head hastily: "Don't dare, but I'm just asking if the villain can leave?"

Fazheng looked at Zhang Jaw, who nodded slightly. Orion heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and left.

The Orion was taken aback, thinking that he had escaped with difficulty, so naturally he had to walk faster, so he hastened his pace.

hum!

When Orion heard this voice, the soles of his feet softened.

He is very familiar with this sound. As a hunter, he shoots and hunts birds all day long. This is the sound of drawing a bow and winding it. Orion draws the bow to shoot birds and animals, and the army draws the bow to kill people!

"General, sir, didn't you agree to me—err!"

Just as Orion was about to recover, a sharp mace pierced through the air instantly, pierced Orion's leather armor, and shot him straight through. The arrow hit the ground, and Orion was nailed to the ground. On the ground, his body was still trembling slightly.

And in Zhang Jaw's hand, the bowstring of a strong bow was trembling slightly, his face was cold.

Fazheng stared at Orion's body in a daze, then looked at Zhang Jaw: "General Zhang, this Orion's conversation can tell you that he is not Yuan Jun's spy. Why did you kill him?"

"I know."

Zhang Jai's expression returned to normal, and he explained: "But he has seen the trajectory of our army, what if it leaks out? A certain is the leading general, how can he make fun of the lives of these three thousand soldiers under his command?"

This is actually the case with secret marches in ancient times. Military information is absolutely not allowed to be leaked. The army marched secretly among the barren mountains and wild ridges, and they were all desolate places. If someone came, it would be considered unlucky for them and they had to be killed, no matter if they were famous generals or ordinary people.

Zhang Jai took a look at Fazheng, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Xiaozhi was born in a scholarly family, so naturally he has never seen murder, but it will be fine after he gets used to it in the army."

Although Fazheng was a natural genius, after reading the book of war, he naturally understood the military strategy in the book of war, and provided Zhang Jai with a strategy to cross the Pingding Mountain and send out surprise soldiers to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, but he had never personally experienced leading troops in battle.

On the other hand, Zhang Ja is very optimistic about Fa Zheng, but he is different from Fa Zheng. Zhang Ja is quite experienced in leading troops, and intends to use his personal experience to cultivate Fa Zheng, so that Fa Zheng can grow rapidly.

Fazheng looked at Orion who was shot to death by an arrow with his jaw open. The blood seeping from the wound quickly covered the ground under Orion. His eyes looked at the sky blankly, as if he refused to believe that he died.

Fazheng looked at Orion for a long time, sighed unbearably, and turned around slowly.

Zhang Jai didn't say anything, just patted Fazheng on the shoulder, and then said: "Come and bury this Orion, and continue to set off later."

"promise!"

A group of soldiers came out, dug a shallow pit on the ground and buried Orion in it, and then 3,000 people continued to set off under Zhang Jaw's order.

Three thousand people marched secretly in the Pingding Mountain Road. This time, they didn't encounter any hunters in the mountains again, but if they encountered them, they would definitely shoot them on the spot.

Thirty li passed quickly, and three thousand people finally reached the pass of Pingdingshan after crossing mountains and ridges with difficulty.
