Chapter Eighty-Six: Verification

Get one’s dander up!

It's not the first time Liu Yu has seen such a scene, under Jiankang City, looking down from the west gate where he is stationed, it is such a scene of a large army stationed, but there is a border, and Yanziji Wharf is that border. And now, what appears in the lens is an endless white cloud, yes, it is like a white cloud in the sky, one by one inlaid on the earth, of course, if Liu Yu had seen a cotton field, he would have come up with a more appropriate analogy, but unfortunately, he had not seen it.

Now, this rare beauty is a disaster for him, because the problem he faces is almost unsolvable, how to find a girl who may be hidden anywhere from hundreds of thousands of people, and the worst thing is that this girl doesn't want to live anymore!

What's even more tricky than this question is that there are only five people around him, which is all the people on the front line of Ezhou, and the closest place he can contact is Xiangyang Mansion, but it will take at least two days to rush from there. Therefore, from the time he traveled over and stood in front of the Guishan Han Tomb in this time and space, he has been working hard to tap his potential.

Calculating the time, in two days, or as soon as tomorrow night, he will have twenty people available, and in another one or two days, Li Shiyi will bring more than 100 people, 120 people to come to one, what can he do? The army in front of him was more than 287,000, a number he knew in more detail than the enemy's commander, Ali Hague, because every time a boat came from the Han River, the first thing he knew was not the other party but his spies.

"Haven't responded yet, keep asking."

In addition to staring at the Yuanren military camp in the distance, the only thing he can do now is to keep calling, and the microphones that can be contacted nearby are used for this matter, but from last night to now, the sound of 'rustling' comes from those latest models of Motorola two-way intercoms.

Out of power? Lost? Too weak signal? The speculation that the distance was not enough made Liu Yu upset, and he even began to think of the worst outcome, which he couldn't bear, just like the moment before Jing Niang woke up.

"Waiter, the Tartar is moving!" One of his subordinates holding a clairvoyant mirror suddenly whispered, which immediately made him nervous.

The position of several of them was against a cliff of the river, the side facing the river was as smooth as a mirror, and the end of the river bank was rocky, although the height was not terrainous but very dangerous, there was no problem at all for a few people to hide in the meantime, this observation point had been used for several months, and the safety was tested.

Poking out from the top of the wall, the tall walls of Yangluo Fort stand by the river, and not far from the foot is the military camp that cannot be seen at a glance, originally these military camps did not have a camp, because new soldiers will join at any time, and this situation continues to this day.

Hearing the reminder of his subordinates, Liu Yu hurriedly raised the camera in his hand, it was obvious that the movement occurred on the side of the barracks, only to see countless heads emerging from the camp, extending into a row along the outer part of the camp, and what they were holding in their hands was not knives and guns, but hoes used by farmers to hoe the ground.

Is this to open up wasteland and cultivate land? Speaking from the heart, because it is sandwiched between two rivers, the soil in this area is still very fertile, and it is a good place to tuntian, just when Liu Yu was full of malicious speculation, the cavalry of the brigade rushed over from the direction of the river bank, and they were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads.

"A complete team of 100 people, it seems to be going downstream, strange, it should have been a scout at this time in the past, there is no reason to suddenly send so many people at once."

The muttering of his subordinates made Liu Yu stunned, he was a layman in the military, and he never interfered with the actions of his subordinates, every time he only needed to put forward the goal, but if things were abnormal, there must be a reason, and what he was worried about was whether this reason would be related to the girl.

"They're building strongholds." The cavalry on the river bank passed quickly, and several people leaned up from the top of the wall and once again turned their attention to the large camp in the distance, this time without being reminded by his subordinates, the military Xiaobai Liu Yu also understood what they were doing.

The deep pit dug out was planted with a wooden pole, about a third of the length was buried in the soil, and the exposed one was tied up by one crossbar after another, forming a fence, and outside the fence, a deep trench half a man high gradually dug out its shape, plus a large number of antlers, horses and other objects were carried aside, almost right under their noses, the originally borderless camp was covered by these typical defense systems.

Defense! Liu Yu felt a little puzzled, such a large military force is basically an invincible existence in this time and space, you must know that among the nearly 300,000 people, there are at least 50,000 cavalry, which one will take the initiative to attack when he is full? Thinking of this, his mind suddenly let go, yes, there is really a well-fed person who will come to do this.

"Is there a way to ask why they are doing this?" Liu Yu must ask for proof to confirm whether it is good news.

"Do you want a lot of people to grab a job and ask?"

To put it in peacetime, this is also a way, the enemy will always have a time to be alone, but they observed for a long time, only to find that the enemy's vigilance is not generally high, not to mention arresting people, that is, it is a luxury to get close, the number of patrol cavalry has not been less than fifty people, the outermost Han army is all a team of 100 people, it is clear that they are guarding against something, and the more this is the case, the more anxious Liu Yu's heart is, he is afraid that something has happened to people, so the Tartars will be like a big enemy.

"If it's just to inquire about the news, the little one has an idea."

Fortunately, there are always more ways than difficulties, and a subordinate quietly came up with an idea in his ear, which made Liu Yu's eyes light up.

Of course, the stockade of the navy Wanhu Xie Cheng was on the edge of the river, and since Yangluo Bay had become a transportation artery, he and his fleet had to move to a place a little downstream, but fortunately, it was not difficult to find a flat terrain and easy to moor on the riverbank, and he himself usually lived on the shore in addition to training.

"Erlang sent you, why did you do it?" Xie Cheng glanced at his grandson's handwritten letter, and threw it aside, the words on it were too numb, he didn't believe a word, even the other party's intentions, he could guess it, it was just for outsiders to see.

"The second brother has been blessed by the grace of the Great Khan, and has made up for the cowardice, and returned home to inform the eldest lady and the lady, they are all overjoyed, and the special little one came to report the good news to the uncle, saying that it is the king's deep grace, and he has to accompany him as a last resort, and he has failed to fulfill his filial piety, and I hope that the uncle will not blame." The person who came was very articulate, and he didn't come here once or twice, Xie Cheng didn't doubt it, but as soon as he heard those words, he sneered a few times.

"What kind of identity is he now, how can he be virtuous, how dare you blame him?"

"The second brother said that he just flew into the sky, and he is also the grandson of the uncle." The person who came replied with his hands crossed without being humble or arrogant, Xie Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily.

"Haha, that's a good point, he finally knows that it's still the root of my family, and you're not bad, you don't have anything to bring to him, go down and get the reward."

Seeing that the visitor respectfully saluted him, turned around and walked out of the big tent, Xie Cheng's face suddenly sank to the bottom, is this a naked show-off? Now, he has to admit that this grandson's wings have hardened, and he can have today, almost without relying on the Xie family.

The search in Qizhou lasted for a month, almost under the noses of the Song people, and the result was still nothing, where did the people go, dead or alive? It was as if it had disappeared out of thin air, and the only thing that could be found was a few places where it was suspected that there might have been fighting, but it was only suspicious, and there was no evidence.

Xie Cheng's heart is as old as his appearance, without his parents and the most beloved eldest grandson, he even lacks the interest in living, no matter how big this Erlang's ability is, he can't raise it after all, but what can he do, Changfang, this person is the only inheritor, even if it is for the family, he can only pinch his nose and recognize it, which is the biggest sorrow in his heart.

"Sending a letter to the second brother again, have you seen the old handsome? Get scolded. ”

"Well, it's nothing, the uncle is not happy, and he doesn't care if he says a few words, what are you waiting for? as if he were facing a great enemy. ”

Walking out of the tent, the visitor did not go to anyone to receive any reward, but casually looked at the layout of the camp and walked towards his own horse-tie place, and all he received along the way was a flattering gaze. It's no wonder that people who have a little eyesight nowadays, who don't know that the second brother is the master of the Xie family, even if he doesn't stammer, he can't offend him, as for those who are on the pole, then there are not too many, such people are often the sons of the Xie Mansion, the kind who sold their youth and sold their children.

"Who says it isn't, since that happened, it's not pleasing to anyone now." Seeing that the clothes were still hundreds, the stammerer actually untied his horse for a sergeant with a flattering face, and when he asked about the movement in the camp, he lowered his voice and said in his ear mysteriously.

"Something happened above, Pingzhang ordered the whole battalion to be on guard, and our navy is no exception, isn't this under the orders of the old commander, do you want someone to go out to dig a trench, it's all drudgery, or hello brother." It can be seen that the envy of this hundred households is sincere.

"What's going to happen in a place like this? Let's do it on purpose. ”

"It's not like that, but it's true, it's just that a few scouts disappeared for no reason, and it is rumored below that it was the spies of the Song people who did it, maybe their army is hiding nearby, do you say it doesn't matter?"

"How many scouts? Need such a big battle, do you catch it alive? Neither did the dead. The tone of the person who came was a little strange, but Baihu thought he was scared and didn't care.

"What's the matter, the figures are not touched, isn't this nervous, you have to be careful on the road, try not to stop if you can, who knows where they are hiding."

Hearing his words, the visitor was obviously relieved, got the news he wanted, he no longer hesitated, led the horse out of the camp, until he walked to a secluded place, looked around to see that no one was following, and then took out a long box from his arms and pressed the button on it.
