    Wang Qi led his army back and retreated a full twelve miles before he led his army to stop and rest.

    This is the location that was chosen before.

    Now the army is stationed directly.

    After the army has set up camp, the sky has darkened, and torches have begun to be lit in the camp to disperse the gradually falling night.  Throughout the camp, the soldiers responsible for making rice were preparing for the evening meal, and the smell of rice was everywhere.

    After the soldiers had eaten, they took a rest.

    Xia Houhu came to the Chinese army's tent. When he saw Wang Qi, he said: "Your Highness!"

    Wang Qi said: "Xiahou, are you ready to go south?"

    Xia Houhu said: "The general is fully prepared. This time we go south to ensure that we complete the mission."

    Wang Qidao: "I believe you."

    Xia Houhu said: "Time is running out, I will resign now."

    Wang Qi said: "Don't be in a hurry."

    Wang Qi immediately arranged for someone to notify Zhou Zishan. After a while, Zhou Zishan entered and bowed to Wang Qi.

    Wang Qidao: "Commander, on the way back with the withdrawal, I thought carefully about it for a while. I think it is best for you to accompany Xiahou Hu south this time. If we want to plan against the Wuxi barbarians, without you, we can only rely on Nie Feng  , it¡¯s still a bit unsafe. After all, the next battlefield will be mainly in Chu State, not here. After today¡¯s fighting, Xu Huanshan¡¯s side will not be able to send troops for the time being. "

    Zhou Zishan said: "I obey your orders!"

    He knew very well that Wang Qi¡¯s arrangement was correct.

    Wang Qi looked at Xiahou Hu and ordered: "Xiahou, it is very important to go south to destroy Wuxi, but the safety of the military advisor must be protected. I will leave it to you to take responsibility for the safety of the military advisor this time. You can hurt the military advisor, but the military advisor must not be hurt.  "

    Xia Houhu looked serious and patted his chest and said: "Your Highness, please rest assured that the general is here and the military advisor is here. Even if the general is not here, the military advisor will be unscathed."

    Wang Qidao: "I'm waiting for your triumphant return."

    "I'm sorry to say goodbye!"

    Xia Houhu and Zhou Zishan answered in unison.

    The two turned around and left, leaving the Chinese army's tent. They took some dry food with them and rode away from the rear camp.  The two of them didn't rest even at night and traveled all night.

    The weather is now approaching May, with a full moon in the sky and stars shining high. Even without lighting a torch at night, you can still see the road clearly.

    After rushing all the way, in just three days, Zhou Zishan and Xia Houhu encountered Nie Feng's army quietly moving south at the border between Nanyang County and Nan County.

    After all, although the number of more than 10,000 soldiers led by Nie Feng was not large, they had to travel day and night, and their speed was slightly slower.

    After the two parties met, they continued on their way.

    However, after entering the boundary of Xiangyang in Nanjun and returning to Xiangyang County, Nie Feng followed the original plan and mobilized 20,000 of the nearly 40,000 troops guarding Xiangyang City, and then quietly went south.

    Leaving 20,000 people to guard Xiangyang is more than enough.

    The army continued southward, and when it reached Wuling County, it quietly stopped near Linyuan County.

    During this process, the 30,000 troops led by Nie Feng were never exposed and were quietly hidden near the county seat.  After the army was stationed, Zhou Zishan immediately investigated the situation of the magistrate of Linyuan County and the prefect of Wuling County.

    The governor of Wuling County was named Ma Qian.

    When this person was governing Wuling County, he stabilized the local people and allowed all the people to live and work in peace and contentment as much as possible.  On the other hand, to guard against attacks by the Wuxi Barbarians, they even arranged sentinels outside the mountains and forests near where the Wuxi Barbarians lived to investigate and report news at any time.

    Under Ma Qian's governance, Wuling County developed well.

    Ma Qian was not from Wuling County, but from the Ma family in Nan County, and he was from a noble family.

    He is quite famous in Wuling County.

    The county magistrate of Linyuan County is named Huang Yichang, who is a native of Linyuan County.  Huang Yichang himself was also a good official and had considerable political achievements in governing Linyuan County.

    There is no problem for either Ma Qian or Huang Yichang.

    The Kingdom of Chu fell, and various places surrendered. Ma Qian represented Wuling County's surrender, and Huang Yichang was no exception.

    Wang Qi read all the news about the two of them, with a smile on his face.  Judging from the letters of investigation, both Ma Qian and Huang Yichang at least cared about the people and were quite hostile to the Wuxi Barbarians. Otherwise, they would not attack the Wuxi Barbarians or guard against the Wuxi Barbarians.

    Zhou Zishan made a judgment and took Xia Houhu directly into the city and went straight to the prefect's mansion.  Zhou Zi?He went to pay a visit and was not obstructed by the concierge. He entered the prefect's mansion smoothly and saw Ma Qian, the prefect of Wuling County, in the study.

    Ma Qian¡¯s people are more than forty years old.

    He was quite humble in his treatment of others. When he saw Zhou Zishan entering, he asked, "Your Excellency has something important to see me. Why?"

    Zhou Zishan said: "I am Zhou Zishan, the military advisor of King Qi."

    Ma Qian was shocked and quickly stood up and said: "Meet Military Advisor Zhou."

    He knows Zhou Zishan¡¯s name.  It was impossible for anyone to fake such an identity, so Ma Qian quickly saluted.

    Zhou Zishan said: "Prefect Ma doesn't need to be polite."

    Ma Qian asked Zhou Zishan to take a seat, and then said: "Why did Zhou's military advisor go south this time?"

    Zhou Zishan got straight to the point: "This time I am going south to resist the Zhou army in Wan County, Nanyang County in the north. Considering the fighting on the front line, there will inevitably be Wuxi Barbarians and the Man God Cult causing trouble in the rear. Our military advisor is now,  Leading the army quietly southward, we have reached Linyuan County."

    Ma Qian was shocked and said: "Why is there no news at all?"

    As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Ma Qian felt ashamed and said, "I said it without thinking. Since we have to deal with the Wuxi barbarians, we naturally go around day and night and hide our whereabouts. This is the best way."

    Zhou Zishan said: "As long as you understand."

    Ma Qian said: "Military advisor, Wuxi barbarians have always been a hidden danger. These barbarians often loot places. As soon as they are attacked by officers and soldiers, they all retreat into the mountains and forests with a huff."

    "It is difficult to attack in remote areas and deep mountains and old forests. Even if you go to attack, there may be traps everywhere, which will lead to you being in trouble and being counterattacked."

    "So the problem of the Wuxi Barbarians in Wuling County has never been solved. Now that the military advisor has brought people to plot against the Wuxi Barbarians and the Man God Sect, that is really great."

    Ma Qian looked a little excited and asked, "I wonder how many troops the military advisor brought when he went south this time?"

    Zhou Zishan said: "More than 30,000 elites!"

    Ma Qian said: "There are more than 30,000 people. Including Wuling County itself, there are also thousands of soldiers. In this way, even if we have a head-on confrontation with the Wuxi Barbarians, there will be no problem. The only thing is how to get the other side to come out. This is the most important thing.  Troublesome."

    Zhou Zishan said calmly: "We don't have much to do, we just sit back and wait."

    Ma Qian was surprised and said: "Waiting for the rabbit?"

    Zhou Zishan said: "Your Highness is in a stalemate with the Zhou army on the front line. We have received news that the Wuxi Barbarians will take advantage of the situation and attack Wuling County from the rear, and even sweep across the entire Chu Kingdom area."

    "So now we just need to wait in the county seat. What you have to do here is to arrange sentinels to keep an eye on the Wuxi barbarians. On the other hand, set aside an area in the city to allow my army to enter the city.  Quietly stationed in the city to ensure that the news is not leaked."

    "When the people from Wuxi Barbarians and Manshen Sect come to kill, we will set up an ambush in the city and completely destroy the armies of Wuxi Barbarians and Manshen Sect."

    Zhou Zishan said: "The plan is as simple as that."

    After hearing this, Ma Qian said: "Okay, just follow the military advisor's arrangements. I will obey the command in everything."

    Seeing Ma Qian agree, Zhou Zishan nodded with satisfaction, Ma Qian was still good.  He had a plan originally, and now that he had Ma Qian's answer, he elaborated on the next detailed plan. After the entire plan was explained, Zhou Zishan asked: "Master Ma, do you think there is anything else that needs to be added about the detailed arrangements?"  No?"

    Ma Qian said: "The military advisor is wise. I have nothing to add. The plan is already very good."

    Zhou Zishan said: "Since you agree, let's make arrangements. Tonight, my army will enter the city and station itself in the city."

    "no problem!"

    Ma Qian nodded.

    He has governed Wuling County for many years, and he still has this ability.  What's more, the general trend of Qi State has been achieved. After the fall of Chu State, he has now become an official of Qi State. When he meets Zhou Zishan, he naturally has to go all out to perform.

    This is beneficial to Ma Qian.

    Ma Qian made arrangements quickly, and followed the orders one after another. In a short period of time, Ma Qian vacated the military camp. At night, he personally and quietly put the army into the city, and blocked the news to ensure that no one would know.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
