Chapter 568: A Narrow Road Encounter
Liaobei Road is the largest Daozhi in Daning, the three northern roads, Junping Road and Zhenrong Road together are barely half of Liaobei Road, and the high channel known as the granary of Daning is not small, but it has to be added that Hedong Road is barely about the same size as Liaobei Road.
Between Liaobei Province and Junping Road is where the arsenal of Daning Northern Xinjiang is located, and the battlefield with the most intense contact with the Black Martial Arts is on the northwest line of Liaobei Province and the northern line of Junping Road.
Baishan Pass is located in the northeast side of North Liaobei Road, the special of Baishan Pass is that it is the border of Heiwu to the northwest, and the border of Bohai State is to the northeast, but there is almost no war in North Liao, it is precisely because of the endless White Mountain and Montenegro that the Black Force is blocked, Montenegro extends two thousand miles to the east from the county of Liaobei Province, there is a canyon between this and Baishan, it is the most suitable passage for Heiwu to invade Liaobei Road, but there are Daning heavy soldiers guarding Shuangshan Pass between Baishan and Montenegro, Shuangshan Pass is tall, the city defense is strong, at least 20,000 defenders are guarded, Moreover, outside the Shuangshan Pass is the Black Dragon River, which is like a curse.
The second is Xifengkou, Xifengkou is a gap in Baishan, not very big, and the terrain is dangerous, the slope on the north side of Xifengkou is very steep, large-scale troops can not be used, it is difficult to climb up, and the black warriors in this place where they are not open have no chance.
Relatively speaking, on the contrary, Baishan Pass, which has more than 10,000 troops, is easier to break, but relatively speaking.
But since Meng Changan took the Guancheng on the side of the Bohai Kingdom, now the Baishan Pass is equivalent to a two-story city pass, and it is difficult to attack it from the Bohai Kingdom.
Baishan and Montenegro are like two natural barriers in Daning, protecting the entire Liaobei Province.
Beneath the huge slope outside Xifeng Pass is the snowfield, which stretches for hundreds of miles, and Yuejing Lake is on top of this snowfield.
Gedi City is facing Xifengkou, while Sura City is far away from Baishan Pass.
The whole shape of Baishan Pass is like half a mouth, one side defends against the black warriors and the other side defends against the Bohai people.
Out of the north entrance of Baishan Pass and go down the Baishan path, walking less than a hundred miles is the control range of Sura City, but the mountain road of nearly a hundred miles is rugged and difficult, and it is impossible for the army of the black warriors to pass through the mountains, and the only suitable road to attack Baishan Pass is also the canyon.
This place is just too bitterly cold, and it is relatively safe compared to the daily battles on the side of Junping Road.
Fang Baijing led more than 30 court lieutenants from his court captain's mansion to explore along the mountain path, not only to be careful of the scouts of the black warriors, but also to be careful of the blind bears that often haunt the mountains.
It is rumored that the largest bear blind man on the white mountain is one and a half years tall, and a slap can shoot a gap in the old tree, and even the most experienced hunters dare not confront the bear blind man head-on.
"Stop and rest for a while."
Fang Baijing raised his hand and ordered: "Guo Die, you take three people to the front to explore the road and be on guard, ten thousand yuan, you take three people to patrol around." β
The two right-hand men clasped their fists and led people out respectively.
Fang Baijing sat down and took a breath, turned out the dry food he was carrying and ate some with cold water.
He has been accustomed to the bitter cold of the Northeast Frontier, and when he first came, he couldn't help but miss the prosperity of Chang'an City, after a long time, he actually felt that it was very good here, and his thoughts about Chang'an City gradually faded.
Killing is a desire in a man's bones.
Fang Baijing is known as the 1,000th Office of the Tingwei Mansion, and many people say that if Han Zhaozhi steps down as the Dutingwei in the future, he will be the most suitable successor.
"Qianban."
Yuan Wang, a young scout under him, squatted beside Fang Baijing: "When can we go back to Chang'an?" β
"Do you want to go back?"
Fang Baijing handed the kettle to Yuan Wang, Yuan Wang took it and took a sip: "I think a little, I haven't seen my father and mother for more than a year, and I haven't seen my little sister, hehe, that little clever ghost, holding my leg before going out and not letting me go, I lied to her that I ran out to buy candy for her, and it took almost two years to buy this one, and I was afraid that the little guy would forget my appearance." β
Fang Baijing lowered his head: "Lord Du Tingwei's letter said that if we find the eldest princess of the Heiwu Kingdom this time, we will take people to meet General Shen Leng and then return to Chang'an together." β
Yuan Wang's eyes lit up: "Really? That's great. β
Fang Baijing knocked on Yuan Wang's skull: "The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, even if they find someone in Sula City, they may not be able to easily persuade them to bring them back, even if they are at odds with Samburu, they are sisters and brothers after all." β
"Yes."
Yuan Wang sat down: "Although sometimes I will annoy my little sister's clingy appearance, but my own sister is my own sister, and I naturally can't become an enemy just because I occasionally annoy her." β
Fang Baijing smiled: "After going to Sula City this time, no matter whether there is a result or not, I will arrange for you to return to Chang'an." β
"That's not going to work."
Yuan Wang shook his head: "I won't do it when I go back by myself, if my father asks me if everyone is back, I say no, my son came back by himself, my father doesn't know how to scold me, my father often says that the people from the Tingwei Mansion go out to do errands, and they will come together when they come, and they will come together when they return." β
Fang Baijing said with a smile: "I also know Lao Baiban's temper, hahaha, I heard that you were beaten a lot when you were a child." β
Yuan Wang shrugged his shoulders: "Our Tingwei is also passed down from generation to generation, my grandfather is a person from Tingwei Mansion, and so is my father, and he has done a hundred things, when I was young, my father said that if I can't enter the Tingwei Mansion in the future, I will break my leg, at that time I was scared, so I practiced martial arts hard, and I didn't disappoint his old man with my ability, and it should not be a problem to take over my father's Baiban black line knife in the future." β
Fang Baijing nodded: "Naturally it's not a problem, I think you can do it." β
Yuan Wang immediately became happy, as if he would soon be a member of the Tingwei Mansion.
About six or seven miles away from where they were resting, in a small clearing in the middle of a dense forest, the blue-robed armorer of Qingya wiped the snow off a stone with his cuffs, and then bowed down.
The red-robed priest sat down on the stone and pulled his collar, the wind through the dense forest did not seem to get any smaller, and the snow foam hit his face as if the knife was stabbing at once.
At least one hundred and fifty Qingya blue-robed armor warriors were on guard all around, in addition to them, there were also eight Sword Sect disciples sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding unsheathed long swords in their arms, these eight Sword Sect disciples were all the second generation of the Sword Sect, and it was not very far from becoming a generation of great sword masters.
The four black-robed centurions stood in four directions around the shallow flywheel with their knives in their hands, facing outward, their bodies straight.
One of the two silver-robed commanders took off the jug and handed it to the shallow flywheel, while the other led the people around the area.
One of the silver-robed commanders bowed his head and said: "My lord, it's not far from Baishan Pass, my lord still don't approach it in person, it is rumored that the Ningbian army in Baishan Pass is fierce, and Meng Changan is a brave general with ten thousand powers, so let's wait for someone to find a way to find out the news first." β
"It doesn't matter."
Shallow Flywheel squinted his eyes: "The canyon outside Baishan Pass can lead to the Bohai Kingdom, even if we are not very smooth, we can retreat into the Bohai Sea, the National Teacher has already sent someone to send a personal letter to the King of Bohai, if the King of Bohai is not stupid, he will mobilize the border army to prepare at Baishan Pass." β
Hurriedly Long was a little puzzled: "Isn't Your Majesty going to arrange for the envoy to go to Daning?" At this time, if we kill Meng Changan, wouldn't it be dangerous for our envoys to arrive in Daning. β
"It doesn't matter to us whether it's dangerous or not."
Shallow Flywheel said: "If you can capture Meng Changan alive and go back, the envoys will naturally have more confidence when they see Emperor Ning, our envoys are not here to be ministers, Ning people always regard themselves as the people of the Celestial Empire, and my Heiwu Empire is the real Celestial Empire." β
Shallow Flywheel was silent for a moment: "Besides, the attitude of the national teacher and His Majesty is not the same. β
The suzerain of the Sword Gate is also the master of the Black Martial Country, and his status in the Black Martial Kingdom is transcendent, according to the practice of the succession of the monarch of the Black Martial Country, if there is no Sect Master of the Sword Gate to crown the Black Warrior Khan Emperor, this Khan Emperor will not be justified, of course, there is no Black Warrior Khan Emperor who has not been crowned in history.
"Your Majesty wants a truce."
Shallow Flywheel shook his head: "The National Teacher doesn't want to. β
Hastily lowered his voice and said, "But if we really capture or kill Meng Changan, Your Majesty can't make a truce." β
"Forcing the Ning people to attack in advance is the idea of the national teacher."
Shallow Flywheel closed his eyes, in fact, his heart was not wavering.
His Majesty meant a truce for a few years to restore the national strength, ready to meet the largest attack of the Ning people in hundreds of years, but the national teacher thought that it was too weak, so he quarreled with His Majesty more than once, the national teacher was warlike, otherwise, the previous generation of Khan Emperor Wanlie would not be so radical, Wanlie and the national teacher have the same concept, in the eyes of the national teacher, Samburu is too soft, and does not have the demeanor and momentum of the Black Warrior Khan Emperor at all.
So until now, the national teacher has not crowned SambrΓΌ.
Because of this, SambrΓΌ also had a deep grudge against the national teacher, and kept urging, and the national teacher promised SambrΓΌ to crown him on the Lunar Day in December this year, which resolved some of the contradictions.
The national teacher knew that Samburu had a request for him, and he did something before he was crowned, and Samburu dared not speak out.
"Lord Priest."
Another silver-robed commander ran back from a distance and knelt down on one knee: "The scout reported that there may be traces of the Ning people ahead, maybe it is the Ning army scout on the other side of Baishan Pass." β
"Take care of it."
The shallow flywheel commanded lightly: "Leave a living mouth to see me." β
"Yes!"
The silver-robed commander He got up at night: "My subordinates will personally take people there." β
Shallow Flywheel nodded: "This place is not far from Baishan Pass, don't make too much noise, don't delay, be faster." β
"Yes."
He Ye turned and swept forward.
The other side.
The court lieutenant under Guo Die's Baiban ran out of the forest, and the other party's white mirror leaned over and bowed: "Lord Qianban, I found a scout of the black martial arts in front of me, and the other party also found us, from the perspective of clothing, it doesn't look like a scout of the black martial arts border army, wearing a blue robe, but like the rumored black martial arts Qingya." β
"Qingya?"
The corners of Fang Baijing's mouth hooked slightly: "I have never fought directly with the people of Qingya, since we have met, let's see what kind of catties and two Yuan Wang the other party has, you bring a few people over to support Guo Die, and arrest the other party's scouts back." β
"Yes!"
Yuan Wang got up with his waist knife: "Wait a minute, my lord, I'll be back soon." β
