I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Wang Tan and Wu Youdao led the people to retreat. In the morning of the 2nd day, the morning sun rose, and the golden-bright and dazzling sunlight fell, making the whole earth warm.

Now it’s early spring, the weather is a bit cold in spring, and it is colder at night.

When the sun shines in the morning, I feel more comfortable.

The team led by Wang Tan is still on the way quickly, moving towards the southern kingdom withdraw. After the army ran all night, Wang Tan stopped to rest and let the soldiers recover slightly. When the soldiers recovered their spirits, they continued on their way.

Five miles away, when I encountered a village and town, the army supplied it on the spot and directly levied a batch of grain.

Now Wang Tan has few troops beside him.

There are already less than 10,000 people.

Such power is very weak.

But for the villages and towns, it is still invincible, and Wang Tan personally ordered that no one can resist simply, only obediently and honestly raised food for Wang Tan to supplement his physical strength.

After eating and recovering slightly, Wang Tan led the team to continue on his way.

The entire group went all the way to the north. When I arrived near Shen in the afternoon, I came to Fufeng Pass. This is the southern barrier of the southern capital and an important barrier to guard the southern capital.

The army arrived at Fufeng Pass and took a rest.

Fufengguan is guarded by the army here, and there is also food to replenish physical strength.

Wang Tan received the Fufeng Gatekeeper and rested in the customs. He shouted Wu Youdao at this time and said: “Prime Minister, according to the previous plan, we are ready to seek help from various countries. At the moment, we still have Fufeng Pass. Should we use the checkpoints to guard it? Anyway, we can delay for a while.”

“No!”

Wuyoudao shook the head, no one Agreeable.

Wang Tan said: “Why?”

Wuyoudao said solemnly: “Majesty, it seems to be delaying time, but in fact, after the First World War, our strength will be lost. Knowing this Fufeng Pass, if there is no artillery fire, it can be guarded by itself. But the continuous artillery bombardment, the level will definitely collapse. In addition, the other party has that mysterious weapon, which can kill the enemy from a long distance.”

paused, Wu Youdao continued: “Even if we use the Fufeng Pass, we can’t stop it. Therefore, the minister’s suggestion is to withdraw directly to the capital and use the capital to guard it. After all, the city wall is strong and there is a moat in it, and it wants to break the capital. It’s not so easy to use gunfire alone, it can delay the time to the maximum.”

Wang Tan thought carefully after listening.

Whether to retreat.

Because Fufeng Pass is also an important checkpoint, even if you can guard a little more time, you can delay time. Once the Fufeng Pass is abandoned, after Du Qi has captured it, he can attack and kill directly at the Fufeng Pass.

This is quite uneconomical.

Wang Tan shook the head and said: “According to the king, it is not appropriate to throw away the Fufeng Pass for the time being. This king does not personally guard him, but he can leave a few troops to guard him. When he can’t stop him, he can withdraw directly. That’s right. Not to mention how long to hold on, one more hour of resistance, that’s also time. Delay for a long time, that’s even better. If you can keep Du Qi out of the gate for three to five days, then our reinforcements will come.”

Paused, Wang Tan continued: “The prime minister’s intention, this king also understands, is to concentrate all the forces and gather in the capital to facilitate resistance. However, the division of troops will not have a big impact. “

Seeing that Wang Tan had already got an idea, he stopped insisting, saying: “Everything obeys the king.”

Wang Tan nodded, said: “Go and inform Zhou Zhao.” “

Zhou Zhao is the general who sits in the Fufeng Pass and Wang Tan’s confidant General. Therefore, Zhou Zhao was able to sit at Fufeng Pass and guard the southern barrier of Imperial Capital.

The soldiers went to send orders, and not long after, Zhou Zhao came.

Zhou Zhao has a fine and strong figure and is very strong. He is 30 years old and is just a mature man. After he saw Wang Tan, he cup one fist in the other hand saluted and said: “Final Zhou Zhao, pay homage to the King.”

Wang Tan said: “Zhou Zhao, this king now has a major task. I want to leave it to you to complete.”

Zhou Zhao said: “Please show me.”

Wang Tan said solemnly: “My Southland and Xia Country are at war, and Southland is in a disadvantageous position. Even in the next battle, whether the Southern Kingdom can be blocked or not is unknown. This king needs time now to ask for help from other countries. So you take soldiers to guard the Fufeng Pass, and this king wants you to hold on for one day. One day later, if you can’t stop the evacuation, it’s up to you to arrange.”

paused, Wang Tan continued: “You, are you sure?”

Zhou Zhaonot at all answered directly, but said again: “My lord, do you only guard one day?”

“Yes!”

Wang Tan nodded, said: “Your mission is Defend for one day. As long as one day is over, you will complete the task. Because in one more day, this king can calmly ask for help. Then, with the help of the capital, wait for the reinforcements to arrive.”

Zhou Zhao said : “Please rest assured, the king, the final general will definitely hold on for one day. As long as the ministers can stop him, he will not evacuate for the time being, and will block Du Qi’s army from Fufeng Pass.”

“Good!”

Wang Tan’s face was full of approval.

At the moment of so-called crisis, he is a hero. When the southern country is in crisis, then who is loyal to the southern country and who has his own mind can be directly identified.

Wang Qin said: “As long as you blocked Du Qi’s attack and defended the Fufeng Pass, you will have made great achievements in this battle. On the day that happens, this king will give you awards again.”

Zhou Zhao said: “The minister followed the order.”

Wang Tan asked: “Zhou Zhao, do you have any request?”

Zhou Zhao said: “The minister has a request. “

Wang Tan said: “But it’s okay.”

Zhou Zhao said solemnly: “The minister now wants to guard the Fufeng Pass, and he needs enough weapons and money. Of course, the current inside the pass. Weapons and food are also sufficient. The minister means to prepare to reward the soldiers. As the so-called when a high reward is offered, brave men will come forward, so the guard this time will inevitably be rewarded by spare no effort and must be rewarded heavily. , In order to inspire the military. Therefore, the food, money, and the ministers are ready to reward them, so that the soldiers can get sufficient benefits.”

Wang Tan gave a big sleeve and said: “You don’t care about this matter. The arrangement is. Now you guard the Fufeng Pass and take full control. This king now, as long as there is one result, that is to win. As long as you can’t stop Du Qi, you can do anything.”

“Yes! “

Zhou Zhao’s face showed a smile.

It’s done!

Wang Tan waved his hand, Zhou Zhao turned around and left.

After Zhou Zhao left, Wu Youdao praised: “It’s still Great King is wise. The minister wanted to give up Fufeng Pass. However, the king made arrangements to let Zhou Zhao stay at Fufeng Pass. As long as you can hold on, everything is not a problem. Of course, even if you can’t hold on, you can delay for a while and you can win the opportunity.”

Wang Tan smiled and said: “The prime minister, this is also stake all on one throw. Now, we must gather all the strength to defend.”

Nodded.

The two rested for a while, then brought a certain amount of dry food, and then continued to drive towards the capital.
