Mu Qiu, who had been planning how to escape back before, was not in a hurry now, he stayed on the mountain for three days, except for looking for something to eat and drink, the rest of the time was spent observing the situation under the mountain.

After three days of careful observation, he finally confirmed that the Yan army in Tuntian at the foot of the mountain had about 2,000 people, and the Donghu cavalry guarding them was only 500 at most.

This made Mu Qiu feel a little incredible, in his opinion, although the two thousand Yan troops had no weapons, as long as they chose the right time and rose up to resist, it was not impossible to win, but they were actually willing to be slaves here?

He shook his head, what he didn't understand, go back and follow the report, maybe they knew that the first thing he had to do now was to find out the situation here more clearly, and the second thing was to escape.

On the fourth day, the heavens obeyed people's wishes, and the old God, who had been sunny for many days, finally changed his face and began to rain, starting from the light rain before dawn, and when it was morning, the rain gradually became heavier, Mu Qiu made a robe with branches and grass, and wrapped himself tightly, and he decided to take this opportunity to escape. Looking at the weather, this rain will not stop for a while, in the rain, the cavalry's degree will slow down, the vision will not be clear, it will be very difficult to track him, and since yesterday, the Donghu cavalry who was waiting at the foot of the mountain has disappeared, and it seems that it is not patient.

In any case, you have to take a risk. However, I don't have a horse, and I am afraid that I will have to endure a lot of hardships and take longer to go back this way, and if I walk on two hundred legs after a distance of 200 miles, I am afraid that I will have to walk for several days.

Gotta go back, there's such a big piece of fat here. Why do you have to go back and bring the army, bite hard, and become Xu Yuan's personal guard, Mu Qiuke heard Xu Yuan talking about how to expand the army many times. There are 2,000 Yan troops here, and they are well trained in military affairs, and if they are brought back, the strength of the general's command will almost double. It's just that the Yan army here doesn't seem to have any blood, and he is as good as a son in front of the Donghu people, and it's really hard to say whether he can be used when he rescues him.

Tightening the belt around his waist and tightening the grass coat on his body a little tighter, Mu Qiu was like a moving pile of grass. Running down the mountain.

Pioneer City, the garrison of the First Pioneer Army of the Northern Field Army of Zhengdongfu, although Xu Yuan has read and is literate, he is not a literary person. At present, the large battalion he built is still far away from the city, and he still waved his pen and named this large battalion Pioneer City, because the troops he commanded were the vanguard of the Northern Army. Since it is his station, this future city is called Pioneer City, which is also worthy of its name.

Inside Pioneer City. Xu Yuan's room, the map was hung on the wall by him, during this time, the multi-way sentinels sent out had basically returned, and the terrain within a hundred miles on the other side of the bank had no secrets in his eyes. What surprised him was that within a hundred miles of the opposite bank, there was basically a vacuum, and the Huns who had lived here had disappeared, leaving only some remnants of the old camp where they had been stationed. And the Donghu people did not fill this vacancy in time, it seems that the internal problems of the Donghu people are bigger than the Governor and Jiang Yizheng they estimated, and Thorpe should not have freed his hands yet.

Despite this, Xu Yuan did not immediately raise troops to cross the river and advance the actual control area of Zhengdong Province to this area, and the governor and the councilors agreed that with the current strength of the Zhengdong Army, it would not be beneficial to cross the river. The Liao River is not a small creek ditch, it is not easy to cross the river, once the river is crossed, the transfer of logistics materials, the follow-up of the troops, are all big problems, once attacked by the Donghu army, it is very easy to suffer defeat.

The Liao River, for the armies of both sides, is not only a moat, but also a natural line of defense.

What annoys him is that there is still a sentry cavalry that has not returned, and the captain of this sentry cavalry is called Mu Qiu, which is precisely a young officer he values very much, not only has participated in actual combat, but also is clever and willing to learn, like drawing a map, which is extremely difficult for most soldiers, this guy who has just been transferred to his command for less than half a year has mastered it very skillfully, you know, this time the sentinel team that went out, the officers who led the team, except for Mu Qiu, the rest are old men under his command.

This is a young man worth cultivating, and if it breaks down, it will be a big loss.

Mu Qiu has not returned for a long time, Xu Yuan also roughly guessed the reason, Mu Qiu is young, willing to learn, smart, and brave, this is his advantage, but the disadvantage is that he is too young, young means that he is more impulsive, and his desire to make contributions is stronger, and his detection range must be within a hundred miles of his own regulations.

Perhaps the Donghu people have not yet arrived in this area, and Mu Qiu has gone further, or they have already encountered the Donghu people, and at this time, they have become the belly of the beast.

After sighing for a while, Xu Yuan put this kind of feeling behind him, war, people will always die, since Mu Qiu has made his own choice, then, he must be prepared to pay the price, and he has more things to do.

The barracks prepared for the Second Army are almost completed, and they are generally similar to their own here, and the preliminary work has been completed by themselves, and more improvements will have to be done by themselves after Yan Peng's Second Army arrives. The two large camps are about ten miles apart, and when they are perfected in the future, they will be two cities that are horns and echo each other, and they are not only the advance point for attacking the other side of the Liao River, but also the sword of the group army headquarters that will be built on the shore of Dayan Lake.

Dayan Lake, in the future, will erect a big city that is not inferior to any state city in the Central Plains, and it will become the core of the Zhengdong Fukong Zhì Hetao Plain.

I heard that Guo Quan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who is good at building cities, will also take a large number of craftsmen and people, and with the commander Sun Xiao, they will arrive at Dayan Lake together, counting the days, they are about to arrive at their destination.

He stood up and decided to go to see the troops' tuntian, the northern army arrived at the Hetao Plain, not only to control the area, but also to open this area, Xu Yuan took the first step, he arrived last winter, this big camp, he had completed it years ago, and Huigu turned him into a real city, obviously not something that can be completed in a short time, and he is not an expert in this area, it is better to hide clumsy, wait for the skilled craftsman, and then make further plans not too late, sharpen the knife and do not mistake the woodcutter, He still understands this.

After the beginning of spring, the troops were idle, there were no battles, and they could not drag the soldiers to train every day, which would make the soldiers feel bored, and the veterans were not afraid of fighting, but they were afraid of the boring training day after day, and they had to find something to do, so he had the idea of cultivating some fields.

Now it seems that the original idea is still right, around the pioneer city, thousands of acres of fields have been opened, in addition to sowing grain seeds, but also planted a lot of vegetables, now the soldiers already have fresh vegetables to eat, and years ago, this kind of day is unthinkable, although some vegetables were also transported from the rear, but after the long journey to arrive here, the number of fresh vegetables is almost inedible, Rao is so, the soldiers are still gobbling up. Now, at least they are self-sufficient on vegetables, and over time they will produce more varieties here.

Walking on the field, looking at the green seedlings on the ground, Xu Yuan couldn't help but feel a burst of pride in his heart, squatted down, dug up a ball of soil at will, pinched it in his hand, and the black soil fell in his hand.

What a good place, as long as there are enough people, this place will turn from a thousand miles of wilderness to a thousand miles of fertile land, and it is no wonder that the first thing that the governor and the council have to free up their hands is to seize this territory.

Damn Donghu people, I won't let you occupy this place, this belongs to us to conquer Dongfu. Xu Yuan shook his fist into the air.

"General Xu!" There was an urgent shout behind him, Xu Yuan stood up straight, turned around, and saw Tao Zongwang riding a horse, running towards him from a distance, he couldn't help but be stunned, what happened? Patting the dirt off his hands, he strode up to meet it.

"What's wrong?" He asked aloud, being in this place, any bit of wind and grass could arouse his vigilance.

Tao Zongwang turned over and dismounted, and ran to him, "General, today our department regularly patrols the banks of the Liao River, and accidentally rescued a soldier of our army, he is the general's personal guard, and he is one of the sentinels sent by the general to draw a map of the opposite bank?" ”

"Muqiu?" Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, "He's back, alone?" ”

Tao Zongwang nodded, "Yes, a person, with injuries on his body, crossed the Liao River with a wooden stake, exhausted, but happened to run into our patrol, he said, there is an urgent military situation to report to the general!" ”

Emergency military intelligence! Xu Yuan was moved, although Mu Qiu was young, he was a person who had fought a big battle, and a person who could survive a vicious battle like Jishi City would naturally know what an emergency military situation was.

Could it be that the Donghu people have already reached the other side? Xu Yuan's heart tightened, the leisure days may be about to end, if the Donghu people have arrived, the two armies face each other across the bank, even if there is the Liao River to block it, I am afraid that it will not be too peaceful, the war, is it about to start?

"Let's go, go back!" He took a step away and strode towards the Pioneer City.
