Chapter 455: Switching

Han Jiangxue's worry was obviously very unnecessary, the figure that came from the dust did not come directly to their hidden place, but rode forward without pause, as if it was not the person Mo Li said was waiting for.

But it didn't take long for a figure to come from outside the smoke and dust and silently abandon the horse, but in a few breaths, he avoided the possible tracking eyeliner and went to their hidden place, his skills were very good, not like a master of martial arts, but not at all like the ordinary local residents that Mo Li had said before.

In fact, Han Jiangxue could see clearly that there should be no one following him in the distance, but the person who came also had enough vigilance and good habits, and this kind of behavior could also show how much that person attached importance to the safety of Mo Li and the others.

The person who came was a beautiful young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, strong and swarthy, giving people a very down-to-earth feeling. Apparently this was exactly the person Moli was waiting for, and it came at a good time.

The beautiful young man didn't have any superfluous actions and politeness, he just raised his hand and said directly to Mo Li: "Lord Mo, my name is Erniu, and my grandfather asked me to lead the way, even if even the local old people rarely know about that trail, there will be no problems." Walking from the trail, you can directly bypass the guards in front of the Broken Stone Valley and go to Guangqing. ”

That hidden path was accidentally discovered by Erniu's grandfather when he was young, because it was too narrow and dangerous, so it was almost deserted and no one walked it, and after a long time, even the entrance was almost blocked, and it was never discovered.

Mo Li had sent someone to Broken Stone Valley to investigate before returning to the capital, and it was lucky that he happened to meet Erniu's grandfather before he learned that there was such an extremely hidden trail this time.

Grandpa Erniu is old. The legs and feet were inconvenient, so this was why Erniu came to lead the way. The trail is extremely difficult to walk, and it is not suitable for large groups. So this time, only Mo Li and Han Jiangxue, plus Kunnu and Lunnu, used this road together.

As for the rest of the men and horses, Mo Li had already asked Dong Ling to be stationed ten miles away from the Broken Stone Valley a day later, first observe the enemy situation for two days, and put on a posture that he was going to attack bravely, but he didn't have to really have a large-scale bloody conflict with the garrison, and he could probably delay it for three days.

Three days later, Dong Ling could directly evacuate to the east with the Mo family's army. There was no need to go to Guangqing again, but to avoid the pursuit of the imperial soldiers and horses, and join up with the rebel army in the east, which had been temporarily renamed. In this way, you can protect yourself from the crisis.

The trail that had not been walked for many years was now even more desolate and difficult to walk, and Er Niu carried a knife in his hand in front of him to split the branches and leaves that were almost covering the path, and led Mo Li and a few people to walk carefully through the path.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way, and after about two hours, several people finally came out of the trail and came to a small wood. And at this time, it was already far away from the Broken Stone Valley.

Not far away, near the exit of the grove, an unattended carriage was parked. The horses were grazing with their heads down, but they looked extremely peaceful and peaceful. Out of the grove, it is the road leading directly to Guangqing, if you hurry up, you can arrive in three days.

"Erniu, thank you, thank you to your grandfather for us when we go back." Han Jiangxue looked at the sturdy Erniu and thanked him with a smile. After taking the road, Erniu can go home. And they will continue the rest of the journey.

"No thanks, my grandfather said it, the prince and the princess have done a lot of good things for our poor people, and during the famine last year, your Mowangfu saved too many people with just the porridge shed, not to mention other good things over the years, so grandpa said that he could help you, he was very happy and proud!"

Erniu didn't have any lies, what to say, and he didn't have to care about the identity of the other party, he said what he thought of: "So you don't have to thank you, this is what we should do, it's not too early, the prince and the princess hurry up and get on the road, there are few people in this area, run fast and you should be able to find a place to stay before dark, otherwise you can only sleep in the wild." ”

After speaking, Er Niu waved his hand at Mo Li and Han Jiangxue, and then turned straight back to the trail, from there to continue back to his village. For him, he had to hurry, or the trail would be even more difficult and dangerous when it got late.

Mo Li and Han Jiangxue silently watched the young man who had helped them but didn't ask for anything to turn around like this, and not only did they feel a little emotional in their hearts. The boy didn't even have his full name left, only a nickname Er Niu who didn't know how many children in the world had called, but the Er Niu, who was gradually disappearing in front of him, obviously made them feel the most real and simple.

"Let's go, I hope that in the future, in this world, I will not let down people like Erniu's grandson again!" Mo Li patted Han Jiangxue's shoulder, and said such a sentence calmly but extremely firmly.

Then, he didn't linger any longer, and took Han Jiangxue's hand and walked to the carriage in front of him.

After getting in the car, Kunnu drove, Lunnu sat aside and observed the surrounding movements at any time, while Mo Li and Han Jiangxue could finally breathe a sigh of relief in the carriage and drink some water and talk.

The carriage is just an extremely ordinary carriage, of course, it can't be compared with the carriage dedicated to the Mowang Mansion in the past, but for Han Jiangxue, who has been walking on foot for so long at the moment, there is no need to keep walking in this carriage, but it is already extremely comfortable.

"So we're going to make a noise!" After resting for a while and recovering some of her spirit, Han Jiangxue quickly said to Moli: "Everyone thought that we were still on the way to the Broken Stone Valley, but they never thought that they had already gone straight to Guangqing, so the road would be much smoother." ”

Mo Li asked Han Jiangxue to lean into his arms to make her as comfortable as possible, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this can be regarded as luck, if there is no secret path, I am afraid that I will really only be able to fight with the defenders of Broken Stone Valley." ”

"Although our number is smaller than them, if we concentrate our elite troops to forcibly break through, and with some other methods, we should also be able to break through, but the casualties will be very large."

Han Jiangxue nodded, there was no need for Mo Li to elaborate at this time, but he had already understood everything before: "Now not only have we passed the Broken Stone Valley in advance, and we have gained a lot of time, but after three days, Dongling and they don't have to really clash with people, and the diversion to the east can allow them to save their lives as much as possible and preserve more strength." This step is another way for us to win beautifully! ”

Mo Liyi smiled, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"However, in my opinion, this arrangement has a more important role, right?" Han Jiangxue suddenly thought of something, and said, "You let Dongling and them hold the defenders for three days and then divert to the east to retreat, it should be for them to buy us three days." We should have arrived in Guangqing three days later, and at that time, it was almost impossible for outsiders to know our whereabouts, did you want to go to General Song in person in advance? ”

Seeing that Han Jiangxue mentioned this, Mo Li was no longer silent, nodded and said, "That's right, I need to talk to him alone, otherwise, I won't be able to take the entire purge army away smoothly." ”

Han Jiangxue understood what Mo Li meant by taking away the purging army, and now General Song has been waiting in Guangqing on the emperor's order to take over the entire purging army, but General Sun and others have used various reasons to obstruct it openly and secretly, so it has been so long that General Song has not yet entered the barracks, let alone the actual control of the purging army.

But this does not mean that General Song really has no way to clear and suppress the army, but because of Mo Li's series of arrangements, General Song still only regarded the rejection of General Sun and others as an internal dissatisfaction and disobedience, not anything else.

Therefore, once General Song knew that the army had followed Mo Li, of course, it would be impossible to do nothing like now, and once he made a move, it would be a great loss and consumption for the army, and it would also be unfavorable for the army to follow and escort them back to Nankun.

In this way, the best solution is to let General Song take the initiative to retreat, don't meddle in this matter, Han Jiangxue doesn't know what hole cards Mo Li has to convince General Song, but she firmly believes that as long as Mo Li wants to do, there must be no reason why he can't do it.

"Then let's talk about it, from Guangqing to Nankun, if there is no escort from the Qing army along the way, the road is not very easy to walk, and the men and horses who meet us in Nankun can't go too far alone."

Han Jiangxue didn't ask too much about what Mo Li was going to do when he arrived, but said something else: "Li, General Song is my senior brother's father, and he is also a very capable general, if possible, I hope to persuade General Song to switch to the Mo family." ”

If General Song can switch to the Mo family, then of course the Song family of the entire military general's family will also have hope to win them over, which will give them more help in the future.

However, Han Jiangxue also knew that the Song family was not so easy to persuade, and General Song was too rigid, and he was afraid that even if he knew that there were more in the Li family, it would be difficult for them to take the step of reinvesting.

But no matter how much you have to try, you can't let go of the slightest opportunity.

"Don't worry, I have my own consideration for this matter, if I can get the help of the Song family, it will naturally be my Mo Li's pneumatics, if it still doesn't work after hard work, then let it be, I will respect General Song's own will, and I will never force people to make it difficult."

Mo Li is very calm, he can get the Song family like a tiger, but if he can't, it will not have any decisive impact on the situation in the future. (To be continued......)
