Dam River, one of the many rivers in the imperial capital, flows into Wenyu River from west to east from the moat of the Northeast City, belongs to the North Canal water system, the North Small River, the Liangma River are all its tributaries, it is called the Futong River in the Yuan Dynasty, it is one of the two big rivers dug to connect the canal and the capital (the other one is the Jinkou River)

Huang Degong led the vanguard order to lead more than 10,000 troops along the south bank of the Ba River to slowly move eastward, and he personally led 4,000 cavalry in front, and the eight general soldiers under his command led the soldiers and horses behind, scattering the horses ten miles away, not daring to be careless.

Traveling until noon, less than twenty miles, he ordered the riverside to rest and make a fire to make food.

After washing his face by the river, Huang Degong frowned and looked at the vast wilderness in the east and shouted: "Such a way, it's going to be dark in Tongzhou, it's fucking slow!" ”

Zhang Jie, the subordinate general, smiled bitterly and said: "But the little overseer also said that the slower the better, where is this chasing the enemy......" Before he finished speaking, he was glared at by Huang Degong angrily: "What do you mean by this, do you mean that the little eunuch is afraid of the enemy and deliberately so slow,, you are like those little eunuchs who only dare to look at it from afar and dare not move forward......

"My lord is angry, I really don't mean to be humiliated" Zhang Jie didn't expect Huang Degong's reaction to be so big, and hurriedly explained: "Humble duty means that this is not like chasing the enemy, this is like walking the enemy."

Hmph, Huang Degong pouted: "This is called tactics, you know a p" Then he couldn't help laughing: "What is walking the enemy, this is walking the dog" The people laughed.

During the gossip, the spies reported: The friendly troops in the rear were also resting on the bank of the river five miles away, Chang Yu led his troops and horses to the southeast to send troops away, and there was no enemy situation within ten miles ahead, and occasionally the Qing army was scurrying around.

Looking up at the scorching sun, Huang Degong snorted: "What are those few things doing here, cumbersome." The subordinate general Qiu Yue smiled and said: "Although it is useless, you can also wave the flag and shout to scare people at critical moments."

"I'm afraid that at the critical time, they will be so frightened that they won't dare to speak up" Huang Degong looked disdainful, there was no way, the Beijing camp and the personal guards could still pretend to be a B in the capital, but in the eyes of their soldiers and horses who fought on the front line all year round, it was!

The soldiers came to report that a village not far away had been cleaned up, and the generals could go to rest.

The name of the village is not small, it is called the camel camp, Huang Degong rode around the village, and scolded with a smile: "Where did the camel come from" said and got off the horse at the door of a large courtyard, which had been cleaned up, and the generals rushed in.

"My lord, there were really a lot of camels in this village before" Weng Zhiqi said with a serious face, he is one of the eight general soldiers under Huang Degong, and the only Confucian general, of course, the most loyal one.

Weng Zhiqi is brave and strategic, and even Huang Degong values it, and he is usually regarded as a military advisor, and when he heard this, he was stunned and asked: "Where did the camel go, was it snatched away by the Tartars?" ”

Weng Zhiqi smiled and shook his head: "That's all about the previous dynasty, when the dam river was not dug before the Yuan Dynasty, the grain and other materials transported from the canal needed to be transported by pack horses if they wanted to enter the city, and at that time, they mostly used camels and needed military escort to transport grain, so they built thirty camel houses here, so there was this camel camp......"

It turns out that there is such an allusion, which is interesting for everyone to listen to, and Huang Degong is even more staggering: "Isn't this small broken village hundreds of years old."

"No, it's been almost two hundred years" Weng Zhiqi was silent for a while and said: "But there is still a thousand-year-old monument near here" As soon as the words fell, Huang Degong asked where it was.

"Did you just see a platform not far from the village?" Weng Zhiqi asked, and Huang Degong nodded: "It's just a broken platform."

Weng Zhiqi smiled: "That's not an ordinary platform, didn't the adults look at the stone tablet next to the earthen platform......" Before he finished speaking, he was robbed by Huang Degong: "Lao Tzu saw the stone tablet, the key is that he doesn't know the words, and he thinks whose ancestral tomb it is, why is that square platform an ancient tomb" The generals laughed and asked Weng Zhiqi what the platform was.

"It's not an ancient tomb, the inscription reads: Yan Zhaobei built a general, and the heroes of the Quartet came in the wind. Mo Xiangtong is the same as hanging the ancients, and he has always sought victory and immortality, which is what he is talking about. It is the point of the king of Yan Zhao". (Later Shofufu Park)

Everyone sighed, and it was really bluffing, but: "Which dynasty is this King Yan Zhao from, isn't it amazing?" Huang Degong asked.

Weng Zhiqi was stunned: "During the Warring States Period, a certain generation of monarchs of Yan State, known as a virtuous name, once made Yan Country strong."

Huang Degong sighed: "People thousands of years ago, but once he broke the earth, he is remembered by future generations, if Lao Tzu breaks the tartar here, the world will not think of Lao Tzu when they mention this camel camp in the next few hundred years."

"That's nature," the generals chimed in.

"But a few hundred years later, Lao Tzu is dead, remember that there is another hair" Huang Degong pouted, and told his soldiers to hurry up and get some food, the sun is scorching outside, take advantage of the moment to rest, but cool down before leaving.

When Huang Degong was enjoying the cool in the camel camp, in the wilderness under the sun a few miles east of the capital, more than 10,000 cavalry were slowly moving eastward, and it was Jin Wuwei and Teng Xiangwei led by Chang Yu that were also the only pure cavalry team.

Chang Yu is in a very bad mood now, and even very irritable, not because of the love of his children and the fact that he has no strategy against the enemy, but because the weather is too hot.

At this time, it was already summer, and he was already sweating profusely in heavy armor under the scorching sun on his head, but he still had long hair, long hair, long hair, hair more than half a meter long, this is Chang Yu's only rejection of this era!

Long hair fluttering is no longer a mother's problem, in fact, because shampooing is too troublesome, it is not easy to dry without a hair dryer in winter, hot sweat in summer, and it smells if you don't wash it for a day, and the long hair is scattered to cover your ears and eyes, and it is not beautiful to affect your vision.

With his status, there are so many people around him who are so troubled, but think about how difficult it is for those ordinary soldiers, they can't wash their hair every day, a little taste is not worth mentioning, I'm afraid there are still a lot of small animals in it.

Chang Yu wanted to cut his hair short countless times, and even wanted to propose that the whole army have short hair, but he didn't even dare to mention it after all, because he knew how difficult it was to propose a hair cut in this era, and he would be hindered by all kinds of difficulties, and even put a lot of hats on him.

Forget it, why did you get a stinky water, just bear with it.

However, the weather was too hot, in fact, he couldn't bear it, Chang Yu took off his helmet and threw it to a personal soldier next to him, he suddenly felt much more refreshed, looked back and saw that he could vaguely see the figure on the imperial capital, and he couldn't help but sigh, so many rules, it was more than ten miles in vain.

According to the previous agreement, Huang Degong's soldiers and horses marched from the northeast to Wangtongzhou, and Chang Yu led the elite cavalry to outflank Tongzhou from the east or southwest, so Chang Yu could directly lead the troops from Dongcheng to Tongzhou, but this year, if the troops went out of the city to seek good luck, they must send troops from Deshengmen.

As a result, Chang Yu could only go around from Deshengmen to Andingmen and then go south and eastward, and went around more than ten miles in vain, so that Huang Degong's soldiers and horses all arrived at the camel camp, and he was only a few steps away from Beijing.

"Lord Governor, it's already noon, and the scorching sun is not suitable for marching, so how about resting in the woods ahead?" The dog-headed military advisor Li Muxian spoke.

Chang Yu looked up at the front, there was a large forest, and it was indeed a good place to escape the summer when he saw that hundreds of acres were indeed a good place to escape the heat, so he ordered the army to rest in the woods in front of him, and then his heart moved again, and he galloped to the edge of the forest, looked at the big trees that were several feet high and asked left and right: "Do you know this tree?"

"Lord Factory Supervisor, this is the Eucommia tree, which can be used in medicine......" Li Muxian blurted out, and Chang Yu said, yes, nine out of ten of the trees here are Eucommia trees, and this is where the Eucommia Park is located in the future.

A few miles north of the forest is the Tonghui River facing east and west, there are also tributaries running through the woods, there is water and Lin Zhennai is a good place for soldiers and horses to rest, Chang Yu is overjoyed, the horse enters the forest, finds a secret place to take off his armor coat, only wears profane pants and jumps into the water, the river is cool and hot and exhausted, the soldiers and horses of each department are looking for camps to rest and recuperate, and make fires and make meals.

Chang Yu likes water, but it is a big winter when he crosses over, the weather is warm and he has no time to play in the water, and now he is playing in this wilderness and wild river, and he once forgot that he was leading his troops to chase the enemy at this time.

was in a happy mood, but saw Chen Sole, the leader of the guards on guard on the periphery, hurriedly rushing to the river: "Factory man, you, put on your clothes quickly."

Chang Yu was taken aback: "But there is an enemy?" So saying, he hurried to the shore.

Chen Sole shook his head: "It's not an enemy, but ...... Take a look at yourself" Pointing into the distance, Chang Yu looked through the branches and leaves, and suddenly frowned: "Let's do something again!" ”
