Chapter 372: There is no cave
Back at the inn, the two parted ways at the door of the room. Xu Yun couldn't help but say.
"You say, if you really envy it, you can admit it directly. If you really don't want to admit it, don't touch your nose when you lie in the future. ”
Duan Lang subconsciously looked down at his nose.
Does he have it? Not really.
"Who lied? I touched my nose simply because my nose was not very comfortable, and the wind by the river was too strong today, so I got cold, can't I? ”
"Okay, okay, even if you have a cold, I will ask the doctor to prescribe you a few doses of medicine when I pass by the hospital tomorrow." Xu Yun didn't bother to argue with him, turned around and entered the room.
Duan Lang also entered the room.
Does he really have a habit of touching his nose when he lies? It seems that this habit must be changed in the future.
Early the next morning, the group continued to set off again.
Along the way, Lu Li seemed to be in a good mood, and he almost sang loudly. Duan Lang looked at her villain's triumphant appearance. I couldn't help but regret a little that I helped Shangguan Yinling coax her to dissipate her anger yesterday.
Sure enough, this man and woman are in love. It's all very infuriating.
Finally, I traveled for nearly a day. Only then did they feel what Prime Minister Shangguan said.
It's a very secluded valley. Hidden in the woods and shrubs. The surrounding area is full of lush vegetation. The entrance to the valley was almost covered. If you are not an extremely delicate person, you will definitely pass by here unimpressedly. You will never find a hole under the trees here.
When they reached the entrance of the valley, Shangguan Yinling glanced back at their team. If the number of people they brought with them entered the valley at once, they would surely be discovered. If you want to go in and find out the situation without knowing it, most of them will probably stay outside the valley first.
Looking at the entrance to the valley, there seems to be traces of people and horses entering and leaving. Presumably, the people in the valley came out of the valley from here on weekdays. Since it was a valley, they should have an exit besides this entrance. The valley here is not low, and the terrain is not dangerous, after walking through this dense forest, it should be a relatively flat place that is easy to train.
"Xu Yun, you take a few brothers to investigate around the outside of the valley first to see if there are any other entrances. The other brothers first found a nearby place to settle down. Shangguan Yinling arranged the errand of the brothers, and took Lu Li and Duan Lang into the valley from the entrance.
As he expected, they had traveled some distance. I found that the terrain of the valley was not low. After walking through the dense forest from the cover, there is a relatively flat forest.
They followed in the footsteps of the people who had come and gone before them, all the way into the valley. Gradually, the valley, which was originally very quiet, faintly heard the sound of military training.
Listening to the momentum of the sound, even from a relatively long distance, they can hear a lot of people.
This valley is well sheltered, and it is indeed an excellent place for military training. If it weren't for the spies under Prime Minister Shangguan who accidentally passed by and found out, I'm afraid they would not have known that there was such a valley here in the end.
"Listening to this voice, there are hundreds of people who are training at this time."
After all, the valley is limited in size. If more than a few thousand people are training at the same time, there will definitely be not enough space. According to their guess, this group of people should practice in batches and hours. The valley here should accommodate hundreds of people to practice together at one time.
The trio quietly approached. I found a more hidden bush. After getting closer, he found that it was indeed not what Shangguan Yuling expected. At this time, the soldiers who were training in the valley should have numbered five or six hundred.
Although these soldiers did not wear armor, the weapons they held in their hands were extremely sharp. Look at the momentum and pace of their moves. It's been a long time since I've been practicing.
These people seem to be the magic weapon of Red Flame's surprising victory.
"If it weren't for the Prime Minister's men who discovered this place, I'm afraid we would never have known that such a group of people were secretly practicing here. At that time, if they really rebel and raise an army. With just a few thousand people, you can win by surprise. ”
It's really God's help. Although they have always suspected that Red Flame is secretly training soldiers and horses behind his back, they have never been able to find his location to train soldiers and horses. This time, Prime Minister Shangguan invited himself to fight against the Hu people, and when he was exploring the way forward, he discovered the valley here by mistake.
God bless them.
The three of them had seen the playground where they were drilling. Then he went quietly around their tents.
When they arrived, they found that these soldiers did not live in Yingzheng, but in a wooden house that had been built. There was smoke in the huts, and there were not only men, but also women and children, and they had lived here for at least a year or two.
It seems that these women must have accidentally discovered the existence of injuries here, and were taken by them to be wives, and these children who seem to be young should be the children of these women and those with higher official positions among them.
The oldest child here should be four or five years old. This means that they must have been stationed here for five or six years.
It seems that Hongyan is even more calm than they imagined, and he can secretly train a group of people for five or six years, which shows that he has been plotting rebellion since five or six years or even longer.
This is really a very deep opponent of the city.
In the future, they will have to be more careful when fighting Red Flame.
Shangguan Yinling roughly observed the number of houses. and the density of people coming and going. A rough estimate of the number of people stationed here. Then they secretly went to the vicinity of the horse farm, where there were several thousand people. There should be at least a few hundred horses to be raised. After they went, they found that the war horses here were fattened and strong, no worse than the war horses that were often fed by the officials of Sima Jian.
It seems that the soldiers and horses here are even more abundant than they imagined.
Shangguan Yinling counted it. There are about 1,000 war horses raised here, and the stables built here are also very good. Moreover, these more than 1,000 war horses, the forage and excrement to be fed every day need to be run by people, although this valley is large, there is only such a big place, not to mention that there are so many people's food consumption, these things are afraid that they are transported by special people every day.
Today, as the sun is almost setting, I am afraid that these people who carry fodder and excrement are also about to arrive.
"Aren't they Xu Yun?"
If they were to be spotted outside, they would never be a match for this well-trained team.
"It's okay, Xu Yun has his own way to deal with it." Shangguan Yinling said, "We can't stay here for long. ”
