Li Zongxun didn't understand what the saint was thinking, and it was difficult to figure out the holy will, but he could only implement it.

The men and horses started, and rushed to the boundary of Shangcheng State, hundreds of thousands of people, overwhelming, and the army marched in unison in more than a dozen roads, which was quite spectacular.

The entire border between Shangcheng and Qin is full of bright armor and armor, the cold light of the sword soldiers is flickering, the horn is deafening, the war horse is neighing, and the murderous aura is soaring.

Shangcheng State was divided by Baling State, Zongye State, Wuwei State and Suli State, etc., there were many immigrants who cultivated here, the army of Qin State moved, these farmers fled in panic, and fled to their own territory with their families, those officers and soldiers stationed there ran faster than the farmers, and when the Qin army entered the territory of Shangcheng State, they found that there was no human population.

A few days later, Li Zongxun's army came to the north bank of the Chen River, which ran slightly southwest to northeast in the south of Shangcheng Kingdom, and then drew an arc to flow eastward to the north in the eastern part of Shangcheng Kingdom, and then went east near Cangyue Kingdom.

And Maoshan is at the first turn of this S Xingjiang Road, this area will go to the border between Shangcheng and Qin, which is a mountainous area, and a large flat land in the southwest of Maoshan is the Maoyuan swamp.

Therefore, the Qin army spread out, west to the vicinity of Yuguan in Zongye State, east to the edge of the Maoyuan swamp, hundreds of miles of river banks are full of Qin army camps.

Li Zongxun originally wanted to attack Yuguan first and cross the river from Wuling Bridge, but was stopped by the Marquis of Jinyang, because the Marquis of Jinyang had planted on the attack on the Wuling Bridge and told Li Zongxun that the road could not be walked, and if he encountered an ambush, it would be difficult to stand out.

Li Zongxun knew about this, he thought about it, and felt that it was better not to take the risk, anyway, the holy decree said that let him take the road of Shangchengguo, and there would be no extraneous branches.

But looking at the soaring and turbid river, he was also at a loss.

"There's no other way to cut down trees to make wooden rafts or to build wooden bridges. ”

In addition to the mountains and trees in the east and west, there are plains in the middle, and there are very few trees, and the last southern expedition was cut down by Wuyang Hou, Wuyue Hou and his Jinyang Hou, etc., and now some are not thick, and it is useless at all.

If you want to cut down trees, you have to go to Mt. Mogen to the east, but there is a swamp in the way, and it is difficult to get there.

To the west is Yuguan, where the trees are not luxuriant, last time the Xia army set a fire, not only burned a lot of Qin troops, but also destroyed the trees on the mountain, although there are still there, but the people of the Zongye country have deployed a lot of horses there, and it is difficult to get over.

The proposal of the Marquis of Jinyang made Li Zongxun shake his head.

"I thought I would send a letter to the Taiwei Mansion, and it is estimated that it will take less than half a month to reply, so let's wait for a while. ”

Before receiving the Qin Emperor's holy decree, Li Zongxun had already sent a letter to the Taiwei Mansion to ask for support from the navy, and it had been almost half a month.

This large-scale southern expedition to the Xia Kingdom is quite powerful, but it seems that there are many inconsistencies, which has always been a doubt in Li Zongxun's heart.

There was no one to explain to him, so he had to take one step at a time.

Li Chaoyang stood on a hill and looked at the southeast, although he couldn't see the continuous military tents on the north bank of the Chen River thousands of miles away, but he had already sketched the scene there in his mind.

He got a secret report from the court, and he knew a little about the plan of this southern expedition, and now there are people installed by the Qin court around him, who watch him closely, and for a while, it is difficult for the information to be transmitted.

This made him anxious......
