After a day's rest in the camp outside Fucheng, early the next morning, Lin Feng and his party of less than 400 people set off, more than 700 war horses, in addition to some necessary supplies and hard dough cakes, among which there are two live sheep on the backs of 100 war horses, of course, this is an excellent food that can fill the stomach and be full in winter, and even if it is tied up and walked on the mountain road, it is just as convenient.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lin Feng and the others arrived at the entrance of the Meridian Valley, in the towering Qinling Mountains, a road that had been the most difficult in history was displayed in front of everyone, on the side of the valley mouth, a stone tablet about one meter high was erected, and the three vigorous and powerful characters were still conspicuous, Lychee Road.

When Lin Feng stood in front of the valley mouth on horseback, he found that it was indeed as Chen Wansan and others reported after investigation, although the Meridian Valley was dangerous, it had not yet reached the point where it was almost impassable hundreds of years ago. After all, more than 100 years ago, in the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, this road was once the most prosperous post road in the entire Tang Dynasty, and there was only one reason, transporting lychees.

"Chang'an looked back at the piles of embroidery, the top of the mountain opened a thousand times, a ride on the red dust concubine smiled, no one knew that it was a lychee." Following in Lin Feng's footsteps, Yuan Biao urged the horse to Lin Feng's side, and laughed in a low voice and chanted a good poem that was widely circulated decades ago, "Passing the Huaqing Palace".

"Yo! I can also chant poetry! Lin Feng was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect Yuan Biao, who was usually the same as the old man, to be like this.

"Hey, hey." Yuan Biao smiled innocently, scratched his head a little embarrassedly and explained: "When I came here to investigate some time ago, didn't I often deal with the local people, as long as I talked about this Meridian Valley, even the local people who couldn't read a single type would memorize this!" Later, I asked more questions and listened more, so I naturally wrote them down! ”

"Not bad, yes, I know how to learn!" Lin Feng joked with a smile, then looked at the deep valley, his eyes flickered, and he sighed faintly: "Wuhou refuses to march to the army, and the Tang Lord turns the sect to Gong Lilai." Today, the road is smooth, who knows that it is still a concubine. ”

A poem about Meridian Valley written by later generations was only revised by Lin Feng with two words, but it made Yuan Biao and the others around him stunned, looking at Lin Feng like a stranger. After a long while, Chen Wansan stammered: "Feng, Brother Feng, you, you are simply, too, too godly. ”

"Yes! Just a poem casually! Yuan Biao, who reacted on the side, also immediately exclaimed, and shouted with an incredible face: "Brother Feng! I think the Tang Dynasty will be peaceful in the future, and you can become a poet! It is much safer than this march and war, drinking wine every day, listening to small songs, touring the mountains and rivers, and then suddenly came to the interest, casually chanted a poem, which has been passed down through the ages! ”

"you! Less sycophants! Lin Feng scolded with a smile, not daring to be interested in this, but then shook his head and sighed softly: "However, according to what you said, you can indeed consider it!" ”

"That's it! What a jolly day! Yuan Biao hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then continued: "I think back then, our poet immortal Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty, that day. ”

"Fuck off! Don't interrupt! Lin Feng glared at the other party, scolded with a smile, then straightened up and let out a long breath, shaking his head a little helplessly and sighing: "Thinking too far!" Let's get over this first! Otherwise, we will be the object of poetry in the future! ”

"Hahaha! The horse's fart slapped on the horse's leg! Chen Wansan lost no time in falling into the well on the side, and hit Yuan Biao mercilessly.

"Get out! You've got you all there! Yuan Biao turned his head and glared at the other party, shook his head dissatisfiedly, and hummed a few words in a low voice.

"Alright, stop making a fuss! Let's go! Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled slightly, looked up at the sky, and continued to add: "It's still early, just enter the valley to see the terrain, and find a suitable place to camp by the way, you can't sleep in the open in this winter, especially here, I'm afraid it will freeze into ice cubes overnight!" ”

"Don't say it! Brother Kaede! Hearing this, Yuan Biao, who had previous experience in path-finding, suddenly became active again, nodded again and again in agreement with Lin Feng's words, and then hurriedly explained: "Last time, my brothers and I went in for a while, and last year's heavy snow still hasn't melted on both sides of the valley!" It's freezing everywhere! ”

"Stupid! That snow could have been the year before or even a long time ago! Hearing this, Lin Feng was immediately happy, and corrected with a smile: "This is still outside the valley, if you go inside, I'm afraid there will be snow decades ago!" ”

"Huh? No way.. Yuan Biao was stunned on horseback, looking at Lin Feng in disbelief, his face full of doubt.

"Believe it or not!" Lin Feng didn't entangle with the other party too much, pursed his lips, changed the topic and asked, "Do you know why I chose to set off at this time?" ”

"Yes!" Yuan Biao immediately nodded, and replied without thinking: "Departure at this time, the rebels of Pseudo-Qi will not expect it at all!" By the time they think we've made a move, we're going to be out of the valley! ”

"That's just one of them!" Lin Feng nodded first, then shook his head, looked at Yuan Biao with a puzzled expression and explained with a smile: "If you have to carry a lot of fresh water into the valley, and people like us can use local materials, it will save us a lot of effort!" And the fresh water you bring with you only needs to be in case of emergency! ”

"Oh! Got it, got it! Yuan Biao immediately understood, but the gaze that looked at Lin Feng was very abnormal, coupled with a complicated smile, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp, and while urging the horse forward, he glanced at Yuan Biao, and said coldly: "If you look at me with this kind of eyes again, you will be asked to find a way to solve everyone's water in the future!" ”

"Uhhhhh Yuan Biao was speechless for a moment, and quickly turned his gaze to the valley, and at the same time urged the horse to catch up, and didn't say anything more. Although Lin Feng said that the water along the way could be used locally, Yuan Biao had explored the road before, and even if he found a suitable place to camp, Yuan Biao knew that it would take at least a lot of time to toss up and down to find a way to leave.

Because of the short winter days and the lack of light in the valley, just when he arrived in Shen, Lin Feng felt that there was a feeling that night would fall at any time, although the team had only entered the valley for a long time, there was no need to worry about any danger, but Lin Feng was unwilling to cause unnecessary shadows to the craftsmen behind the team on the first day, after all, the psychological quality of those craftsmen was not like Feng Ji and others, and the coming day was long, and there would be more time in the future, Lin Feng didn't want to cause major pressure on everyone at the beginning, So that it will add a lot of unnecessary trouble in the future.

After entering the valley, they walked about ten miles away, and the whole team stopped under Lin Feng's order, and at the same time began to set up camp, in fact, it was just to take off the riding spears hanging on both sides of the saddle, use tools to dig holes in the ground, and then simply enclose the frame of a camp, in which several bonfires were piled up not far away, and then the tents were propped up one by one.

Subsequently, it was Feng Shi and others who explored the terrain and possible dangers in the surroundings, while the craftsmen began to look for usable water sources and an appropriate amount of firewood and other things for the team, and then they built pots to make rice.

And Lin Feng got together with Chen Wansan and several other leaders of Feng Kill to study the several similar topographic maps in their hands, and at the same time compared them with the topographic maps drawn along the way, and picked the most reliable one from them, however, the workload of this small-scale siege can be described as not small, after all, if you don't get out of the Meridian Valley, there is never the most reliable topographic map.
