Soon, it was time to set out. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Emperor Yuan asked hundreds of civil and military officials to see him off, Yan Ning was dressed in armor, and Chu Zhaoye was also put on armor.

In Yan's mansion, Yan Xuan took Green Yi and Sister-in-law Li to say goodbye outside the city, and Green Yi cried even more with red eyes. She thought that if she didn't go to Nanzhou with her wife, she would be able to accompany the girl, but she didn't expect that the girl was going to go on an expedition, and she didn't know martial arts, so she still couldn't follow cumbersomely.

In order to avoid her being lost, Yan Ning also ordered a few things before leaving, and when Green Yi thought of this, she was comforted in her heart, so she could still help the girl do something.

Behind Yan Ning, he brought more than a hundred Yan Mansion guards, and the four people left by Chu Mo also brought them with him.

There were also carriages loaded with things in the army, and on one of them, Hongni was sitting inside, guarding Yan Ning's things.

Chu Zhaoye only brought Li Gui and fifty palace guards.

Yan Ning looked at the fifty guards, there were only about twenty of them, and they looked like black-clothed masters he had encountered on the mountain road. She had reminded Chu Zhaoheng that even if Chu Zhaoye left people in the capital, he would not be able to act at will.

Chu Zhaoheng himself was grounded and couldn't come to see him off, so he asked Feng Pingdai to say goodbye the day before, and today he asked Zheng Siqi to take the people from the East Palace and send them directly outside the city.

This time, the two battalions on the outskirts of Beijing left Beijing together, and Li Jing was also in the army.

The people of the Anguo Mansion couldn't leave anyone behind when they pleaded for mercy two days ago, but today they have a bearing on their bearing, and An Guogong even said to Li Jing in public "Serve the country" and other words as encouragement.

The brothers Zhou Yukun and Zhou Yulun have already entered the Dongying and Beiying suburbs of Beijing on an errand, and they also came to say goodbye today, and asked Yan Ning to greet Yan Lie on their behalf.

Emperor Yuan, the right minister Ye Fuguo, gave a tribute to the army of the expedition, Yan Ning took the lead, led the army to go on the expedition, and wrote the word "Yan" on the handsome flag, and the people of the capital who had seen the scene of the expedition would mention the female general of the Yan family after many years.

After the army marched for two days, the sky was not beautiful, and the snow began to fall one after another.

The winter in the Northland is already cold, and this snow, the chill is even more sufficient. The snow was fine, but the most feared thing was that the snow followed by the rain, which was really icy and slippery, and the horses and vehicles were inconvenient to walk.

The soldiers and horses from several other places had to rush to Jizhou to converge.

Yan Ning looked at the heavy snow in the world, and was a little anxious, this year's snow fell early, in case it was difficult to walk on the ice along the way, what should I do with the grain and grass carried by other armies?

She discussed it with Chu Zhaoye, and sent people to inform the other soldiers and horses separately that the grain would go first, and how much would be transported first.

After another day of snow and snow, we came to the foot of the mountain. From here, bypass the foot of the mountain, and you will officially arrive in Jizhou.

However, this section of the road at the foot of Bishan is not easy to walk, especially near the Jinghe River, ******** Yan Ning originally wanted to wait here for the soldiers and horses from the state, Yingzhou, Yizhou and other places, these places are up and down the Nanjiang River, and the soldiers and horses will inevitably take the Jinghe waterway when they go north.

But here at the southern foot of the mountain, there is no dry place to camp at all.

Yan Ning had no choice but to let the army go forward for another half a day, and found an open area in the north of Bishan.

Yan Ning and Chu Zhaoye didn't pay much attention to it at this time, and put the big tent in the middle.

Along the way, Chu Zhaoye took good care of Yan Ning, and it can almost be said that he was thoughtful in everything.

Yan Ning just smiled at this, did not refuse, and did not appear happier because of this.

As soon as he went ashore, he heard that Yan Ning and Chu Zhaoye were camping here, and they didn't care about the cold and slippery roads, so they rushed to the camp tent to meet them.

"How's it going on the road? Can you still walk? Chu Zhaoye asked with concern.

"Tell Your Highness, it's okay to go on the Jinghe River, but there are too many grains and grasses, and they are all blocked at the Jingnan Wharf, and when the small one leaves, our general has already led people to load the ship, and it should be there in a few days."

"Okay, it's hard work, you go down and rest first." After Chu Zhaoye sent this pioneer officer down to rest, he looked at Yan Ning and said, "Ning'er, if we rush for another four or five days, we will be able to reach Jizhou." ”

"yes." Yan Ning looked at the map in front of him and was distracted. At this time, the Northern Yan people should not be easy to march, right?

"What are you thinking?"

"I don't know how the war against Nanzhao is." Yan Ning said casually, and then remembered that there had been no news about Chu Mo's war in the south, and he actually blurted out this worried sentence.

"Zhiyuan is brave and good at fighting, Nanzhao must be able to defeat." Chu Zhaoye didn't know whether it was sincere comfort or hypocrisy, and actually said a word of relief.

Yan Ning also felt that Chu Mo would be able to win this battle, after all, Nanzhao had an army of 500,000, and Great Chu had also assembled an army of 500,000, although the grain and grass in the south were tight, but in the end there would be no food shortage, so I don't know when this battle will end.

"Your Highness," Li Gui walked into the tent and called out in a low voice.

"Ning'er, if there is nothing to do, you should rest earlier." When Chu Zhaoye saw Li Gui, he whispered softly to Yan Ning, turned around and walked out of the tent.

Li Gui followed behind Chu Zhaoye and came to the camp of the prison army before he whispered, "The slave has asked carefully, this way, it is not easy to hurry. ”

Chu Zhaoye nodded, and after standing up, "Did the person who arranged to go to Yuyang Pass to report the news set off?" ”

"I set off the day before yesterday, and the slave specially explained, so that the people sent by Yuyang Pass to pick up the people went to Jizhou to wait for the army. It's just that Your Highness, I don't know who Yuyang Pass will send......" Li Gui also wanted to say, what if the people sent couldn't control Yan Ning.

Suddenly there was a soft shout outside: "Who is outside the tent?" ”

As soon as Chu Zhaoye opened the door of the tent, a gust of wind blew in, and the soft shout just now alarmed his guards, but when he looked around, there was no one.

The person who went to chase the person soon came back, and when he looked at Chu Zhaoye, the man said ashamedly, "The subordinates are incompetent, and the person ran to the camp in front of him, and the person disappeared." I happened to meet a group of soldiers patrolling the camp again, and they all said that they didn't see it, and their footprints were messed up. ”

"Be careful, if you can't catch up, you don't have to chase." Chu Zhaoye didn't blame much, but just commanded.

As if he had been pardoned, the man hastened to receive the order, and hid himself in the darkness with his tent. This person is also one of the dead guards in Chu Zhaoye's training department.

Li Gui followed Chu Zhaoye back to the tent, looking at Chu Zhaoye's eyes that instantly cooled, he didn't dare to say any more, only to feel that the cold wind outside blew into his bones.

Chu Zhaoye glanced at Li Gui and said lightly, "Close your mouth." ”

"Yes, the minion understands, the minion must close this mouth."

Chu Zhaoye also ignored him anymore, asked him to call for washing his face, Li Gui brought a basin of hot water, and hurriedly made the marching bed so that Chu Zhaoye could rest.

On the march, even if Chu Zhaoye was the prince, he could only sleep.
