Section 162 Arrival at the Border City (2)
Due to the large number of troops, the speed of the march was not very fast, and the wind and food along the road were really miserable, although Yun Xuan ordered to speed up the process, it still took nearly two months to reach Duyang City, a border city bordering Beixiao Kingdom.
Just after Yun Xuan led an army of 100,000 to leave the capital, Han Ri also led ten hidden guards to follow closely and rushed to the northern border city together.
On the way to Duyang City, Yue Xin carefully observed the surrounding environment, and as far as she looked, there was no yellow sand in sight, inaccessible, and there was not even a little green life, so desolate, no wonder the nomadic Beixiao Congress challenged the Fengyang Kingdom, which was also for survival.
After entering the city gate made of loess, I saw this quiet and depressed border city, the people's expressions were indifferent and helpless, and every household was full of birds, without a trace of life, this is the cruel reality brought by the war to the people.
The brigade went directly to the army station in the north of the city, and now it is an extraordinary period of war, most of the people in the border city have defected to their relatives outside Duyang City, and the rest of the people automatically moved out of the half of the city to the north to station the army.
In less than half an hour, Yun Xuan and the others came to the north position, and stopped in front of the simple wooden fence temporarily set up to show the importance of the army, at this time, several people in armor came out of the wooden fence, led by a tall man in his early forties, with a black beard, black skin, and bright eyes, I saw him laughing and walking out of the exit of the fence about four meters wide, facing Yun Xuan and the others outside the fence.
Yun Xuan knew that this was the commander Hu Yuanqing, this person was chivalrous and courageous, and he was arrogant, not only had a brave and mighty horse, but also his ability to analyze and deploy troops in the war should not be underestimated, the only bad thing was that this person was short-tempered.
Yun Xuan had a few encounters with him in the capital, and had also eaten wine together, at that time, Hu Yuanqing did not know his identity as the son, the two got along very well, and they were also commensurate with brothers, Hu Yuanqing only knew that the deputy commander who came this time was the son of Prince Zhong, and when he recognized Yun Xuan in armor, he was shocked and shouted: "Brother Yun Xuan, why are you?" ”
Yun Xuan also stepped forward with a smile, saluted Hu Yuanqing's standard, and said, "Subordinate Feng Yunxuan has seen the commander. ”
Hu Yuanqing is a big grinning person, he never takes these false etiquette in his eyes, he pays attention to real kung fu, he has already learned Yun Xuan's kung fu, and he really admires Yun Xuan, but he didn't expect his identity to be the son of the world.
"Brother Yunxuan, why are you talking about these false etiquette in this place where birds don't? Brother, I didn't expect the deputy marshal to be you, with your joining, brother, I don't have to worry about it, hurry, please inside, it's been hard all the way, right? Let's go, let the old brother pick up the wind and wash the dust for you. ”
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Yun Xuan to reply, he took his hand and went straight to the main tent, and Yun Xuan was pulled away before exchanging a look with Yuexin.
After entering the main camp tent, Hu Yuanqing pulled Yun Xuan to sit on the top, and the other generals who followed them in also sat on both sides, Yuexin did not follow in, but went to the smaller camp tent next to them to eat with Mao Lin who came with him and the cold day that met them two days ago, and from time to time you can hear hearty laughter and crisp wine glasses colliding in the main camp tent, which shows that this Hu Yuanqing is a bold person with a true temperament.
