165. It is difficult to march
When the stars were still hanging in the sky, Lin Yi woke up.
He was woken up.
Looking at Mingyue and Zixia, who were rummaging through the cabinets and packing up their things, Lin Yi said helplessly, "Didn't you say it?"
Traveling lightly and without anything, why are you tossing again? ”
This is what he has explained a long time ago, I'm afraid that these two girls will pack dozens of big boxes again, and it will be like a trip!
Nothing else, the key is to occupy manpower and vehicles, so it's better to pull more food.
Mingyue said with a smile, "Lord Wang, the slave has thought about it, the further south the sky gets, the hotter it gets, and if you don't bring something, it will definitely not work." ”
"It's a war, not a game,"
Lin Yi said with a straight face, "Don't do it again, just leave it at that, and this time, the two of you will stay at home and are not allowed to follow." ”
"Lord Wang,"
Mingyue said with a smile, "The slave maid and Sister Zixia are already at the peak of the seventh grade, and they have more than enough self-preservation, so the prince doesn't need to worry." ”
"No, you misunderstood, I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about others,"
Lin Yi shook his finger and said, "Okay, you two are there, everyone is patronizing and watching you, who still has the heart to fight?"
This is called influencing the morale of the military!
So, obediently, honestly waiting at home, waiting for this king to ride white.... The donkey returned triumphantly. ”
Riding a donkey does not affect him as a prince.
"Lord Wang,"
Mingyue said with a smile, "The two of us can also dress up in disguise." ”
"Forget it, it's settled, don't talk nonsense with this king anymore,"
Lin Yi stood up and said to Xiao Xizi behind him, "If they dare to follow, you are the only one who asks." ”
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Xiao Xizi looks innocent, who did I recruit to provoke whom?
looked at Mingyue and Zixia in embarrassment, and arched his hand, "Two sisters, you also heard the words of the prince, don't let the little one be embarrassed?" ”
Mingyue pushed him away and said with a smile, "Xiao Xizi, don't you go to the house for three days?" ”
Xiao Xizi took a step back and said, "The two sisters spare me, this is what the prince explained." ”
Zixia smiled and said, "Get out of the way, Xiao Xizi, we'll secretly be behind to make sure the prince doesn't know."
When the time comes, it will definitely not affect you. ”
"yes....."
The voice of compassion appeared in the ears of the three people very suddenly.
"Steward."
Mingyue and Zixia's faces changed sharply.
They didn't know when the manager was out of the country.
"You are so bold,"
Hong Ying stepped into the threshold with his hands behind his back and snorted coldly, "Our family has only been in retreat for a month, so you are lawless, and you don't even take the words of the prince to heart?" ”
After Mingyue hesitated for a while, she said boldly, "Chief, we are also thinking about the prince, the prince is far away, how can there be no one to take care of him?" ”
"Hmph,"
Hong Ying said expressionlessly, "That's not a reason why you should disobey the prince's order."
Only this once, if you don't take it as an example, just listen to the prince and stay in the house. ”
Zixia couldn't help but say, "Then isn't there no one to take care of the prince?" ”
Hong Ying said, "Do you think our family is a dead man?" ”
Mingyue and Zixia lowered their heads and didn't speak, and only after Hong Ying walked away did they slowly raise their heads and glance at each other, both of them understood that the manager was different.
Lin Yi stood at the door of the mansion yawning, suddenly saw Hong Ying, happily took the teacup he handed over, and said while sipping tea, "It's just in time, otherwise this king will go all the way." ”
"Little guilt."
Hong Ying said with a smile.
Wen Zhaoyi looked at Hong Ying in surprise, and after Hong Ying helped Lin Yi into the carriage, he was shocked, and sighed, "The old body is no longer your opponent, I didn't expect your skills to improve by leaps and bounds." ”
"Wen Zhaoyi is polite,"
Although Hong Ying's tone was flat, the arrogance on his face was unconcealed, "Our family's ability is still far behind." ”
Ye Qiu on the side was also full of incredulity!
How long has it been since the dead eunuch surpassed the dead old witch?
"Let's go."
Sun Yi, who was the head of the sect, patted Ye Qiu on the side, jumped into the carriage, took the reins, and the carriage began to move slowly.
This time, the army went out, and there was no scene of sending each other off the road before.
For this expedition, the people of Baiyun City were basically dispatched, and there were basically not many people left.
After Lin Yi got into the carriage, he lay on the soft mat, and the road was smooth, and slept peacefully all the way until the sun was high.
Standing on the carriage, stretching his waist, looking at the heads of people who couldn't see the edge in front of and back, he suddenly felt a sense of high spirits!
The army marched for ten days and walked out of the cement road of Sanhe.
After that, the nearby Lian and Li tribes opened the way in front and acted as guides.
The mountains and mountains are stacked and green, and the branches and leaves cover the sky.
Although craftsmen have been sent to clean the road in advance, set up a simple wooden bridge, and blow up the mountain road, the road is still difficult and difficult to climb.
When encountering places that are really unbearable, it is all up to people to carry them.
Overlooking the foot, the white clouds are filled, the peaks are around, the clouds and mist are shrouded, along the way, Lin Yi had to give up the comfortable carriage and ride on the donkey.
is really cautious, for fear that if one is not careful, he will have to fall into the abyss, and there will be no bones.
He deeply realized what it means to be difficult to march.
After walking for another eight days, they finally saw the craftsmen who were building the road in front of them, and the men and cavalry who had set out a day before them.
"Lord Wang,"
Bian Jing personally welcomed Lin Yi into the cave where the craftsmen lived, and held a cup of hot tea, "The conditions are simple, and I hope the prince will not dislike it." ”
"What dislikes not dislike,"
The weather was hot and sweltering, soaking wet, he didn't dare to take off his coat, there were lush dense forests everywhere, mosquitoes were everywhere, and he felt more secure in his clothes, after taking the tea and taking a sip, he wiped the sweat on his head, and sighed, "This kind of road, how did the Ashoka army come to be in the first place?" ”
The mountains are extended, the different peaks protrude, thousands of ravines are dense, the ditches are connected, the roads are impassable, and there is no difference from the primeval forest!
Bian Jing said with a smile, "Because of this, Ayuguo has only been to Baiyun City once in these years.
At most, occasionally climb over the 100,000 mountains and intrude on the nearby Qianren tribe. ”
Lin Yi sighed.
At night, there was the sound of fire and explosives.
Thousands of craftsmen and tens of thousands of people took turns to rest, taking turns setting fire to mountains, planting explosives to open roads, and building bridges.
Lin Yi was frightened, don't catch fire in the mountains and forests, and roast his sixty or seventy thousand people!
Then it will be a big joke!
In the face of the power of nature, human beings are a joke.
Fortunately, what I was worried about did not happen, and there was nothing wrong all night.
But the smoke in the sky made him cough non-stop, and he didn't sleep well at night.
He didn't follow the trailing army anymore, but slowly fell to the back of the line.
The fire created more and more open spaces, charred and blackened, with many ashes still smoking, and occasionally roasted wildlife could be seen halfway through.
What can be seen must be inedible, and what can be eaten has long been gnawed into the stomach.
"It's really an ecological disaster...."
After Lin Yi muttered, he didn't say anything more, now is not the time to be hypocritical.
In the evening, it started to rain.
Lin Yi, at Hong Ying's suggestion, hid from the rain for a day.
Who knows, the next day, when I walked halfway down, I found that the road that had just been built had been washed away by a mudslide.
Lin Yi had no choice but to fix it for another day, waiting for the people to rebuild the road.
Two days later, I walked down a hill and finally entered the plains.
Then he saw a small rice field, and the grass in it was taller and denser than the rice.
Lin Yi picked the ears of rice curiously, and twisted several grains of grain in a row with his hands, all of which were shriveled and had no pulp at all.
He finally understood the reason why these tribes could still starve while guarding thousands of miles of wilderness.
"Is this the Qianren tribe?"
Lin Yi asked curiously.
"Lord Wang, this is also my incorruptible brother!"
Kang Bao, the leader of the incorruptible people who had detained the craftsmen and extorted Lin Yi's ransom, also led the three hundred clansmen to follow the army of Baiyun City this time.
The chief secretary promised them that after the matter was completed, they would be able to enter and leave Baiyun City freely, and they would no longer be subject to control and constraints.
As he spoke, Wang Xing led a group of men and horses over, and behind him was a group of men and women painted with color.
Wang Xing pointed to a sturdy man and said, "Lord Wang, this is Chen Dashui, the leader of the incorruptible people here." ”
Kang Bao stepped forward and hugged the leader named Chen Dashui, and the two chattered for a while, but no one understood.
Kang Bao turned his head and said, "Lord Wang, my brother Chen Dashui said that as long as you give the household stickers, they will bring five thousand good sons to help the prince fight!" ”
"Household stickers?"
Lin Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "You are Sanhe people, whether you help this king or not, you will have a household sticker, which is not a condition." ”
Kang Bao said to Chen Dashui for a while, then turned around and continued, "They said that they would go to Baiyun City to learn kung fu. ”
Lin Yi smiled and said, "It's that simple? ”
After Kang Bao looked back and confirmed, he nodded fiercely and said, "Lord Wang, there are no other requirements." ”
Lin Yi naturally has no reason not to allow it.
After tossing and turning on the mountain for several days, Lin Yi was ready to rest in the Lianren tribe on the spot, but when he heard that these Lianren lived in the mountains and needed to go back, he immediately said that he would not go.
Let's rest in place for a day.
"Where is Ashoka's army?"
Lin Yi asked Wang Xingdao.
Wang Xingdao, "Lord Wang, according to yesterday's news, the 3,000 vanguard troops of Ashoka Kingdom clashed with the nearby Qianren tribe, some of the Qianren hid in the mountains, and some of them have fled here, and have joined up with Lord Chen Xinluo's cavalry, promising to help General Chen lead the way. ”
Lin Yi nodded and said, "Just these three thousand?"
What about the back? ”
Wang Xingdao, "There are more than 5,000 people with the 3,000 vanguard troops, and the people of Ayu are not afraid of death, even if they are people, they have good combat power.
Barbarian ferocity, that's exactly why. ”
"How's the road ahead, is it easy to walk?"
Lin Yi finally took off his clothes this time and was shirtless.
Wang Ye smiled and said, "Lord Wang, the road ahead is very smooth, except for some swamps, it is not as difficult as before." ”
"That'll be fine."
Lin Yichang breathed a sigh of relief.
Where is this war!
It's clearly climbing Mount Everest!
