The next day, the armies dispersed toward their destinations.

Lin Yuyan also led the Zongwei and the six hundred elites of the Yulin Army to cross the water and go directly to Jingling.

"Your Highness, there are already many mountains in Yunmengze...... It is not safe to go out of the ancient road and other roads, but now I heard His Highness say that the [red-headed ghosts] in the direction of Jingling are coming towards Suiguo again, and if they take the official road, there is a chance that they will bump into them head-on! ”

The person who spoke was an old follower, Du Hui found a guide for Lin Yuyan, no name, the fourth in the family, Lin Yuyan called him Suiji.

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan also knew that his whereabouts must not be exposed, so he frowned and asked, "Is there no other way?" ”

Sui Ji thought for a while, and then said: "Yunmengze is eight hundred miles of Pingchuan, how can there be no roads in the south and north of the world, but the other roads are mostly trails, among which there are swamps and barren mountains, no one can say clearly!" ”

"Is there a way?!" Lin Yuyan confirmed.

Sui Ji thought for a while and said: "I heard the old people of Suiguo say that in the southwest of Suiguo, there is an ancient city called Huarong, if this ancient city is still populated, then there must be a small road that can be inserted in Daze to the Wulin ...... in the northeast of Jingling."

"Huarong Dao?!"

Lin Yuyan was surprised, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and it seemed that she had some acquaintance when she said this name.

"Your Highness knows?" Sui Ji asked, this Huarong ancient city, it existed when Suiguo was first built, about a thousand years ago, it is difficult to say whether there are traces of people in it, listen to the meaning of this highness, and actually know this infamous trail.

"I know it...... Lin Yuyan smiled bitterly, and then instructed everyone: "Just go to Huarong Road!" ”

Hearing His Royal Highness's decision, Sui Ji also nodded, all the ancient cities in Daze are places with mountains and rivers, and said at the moment: "Your Highness, there is the Fugong River in the west of the water, and the Fugong River and the Lishui River are the mother and son rivers, and you may be able to find a path to Wulin if you go up along the Fugong River!" ”

"Hmm." Lin Yuyan swept around and said, "Huarong Road is muddy and difficult to walk, don't be careful!" ”

"Whoa!" The soldiers answered.

Everyone found the Fugong River and walked upstream, and about two hours later, the traces of a ruined ancient city appeared in front of the soldiers.

However, compared to the old Tang Ancient City, there are still some people in this ancient city, although there are not many, but they also hear the sound of chickens and dogs.

Obviously, because this place is hidden, the roads with the outside world are all flooded with wild grass, so it is difficult for the Northern King Army who captured Suiguo to think of Daze and these people.

Lin Yuyan asked people to surround this ancient city, and the old patriarch in the city came out to answer, this is indeed the ancient city of Huarong, and there are only a dozen households in the city, less than 100 people.

I was also very surprised to see an army coming to Huarong, after all, this place is remote, and in the past, even if a hunter got lost and walked in, it was a thing that was not encountered in ten years, not to mention that there were still so many army people!

These people are old people, when the Chu State expanded, they didn't fancy the ancient city of Huarong, so they didn't care about it, and then the Chu State moved eastward, and the country was lonely, and the road to and from was covered with wild grass, and these people gradually hid in this ancient city of Huarong and couldn't get out.

Hearing that these officials and soldiers were the rebels of Suiguo, and at the moment they also heard about what happened to Suiguo, the old patriarch also sighed faintly, and then said: "Gu Huarong Dao is already extinct...... Now it is no different from Daze, otherwise others would not be able to find Huarong Ancient City! ”

"Is there no way out?" Lin Yuyan frowned and asked.

Suddenly, a burly man stood up behind the old patriarch and said to Lin Yuyan: "General, I am willing to lead the way!" ”

Seeing this, the old patriarch sighed heavily, and then said: "There are roads in Daze, but they are not human roads, and there are swamps everywhere, and people are trapped in them, and they can't save ...... at all."

"It's okay, I'll deal with the swamp by myself!" Lin Yuyan said to the old patriarch, then looked at the man who was willing to lead the way, and asked, "I won't force you, if you want to lead the way, you will lead the way, if you don't want to, you won't be willing." ”

"Yes!" The man answered.

Looking at the urgency on this person's face, Lin Yuyan also asked, "Want to join the army?" ”

"Hmm!" The man replied without hesitation.

Hearing this, the old patriarch was even more hesitant, and he stopped talking, obviously knowing the thoughts of his juniors, but he didn't agree.

At the moment, the military situation is urgent, and Lin Yuyan doesn't have any thoughts but solves the family's worries, and says: "Whether you want to join the army or not, it's all in the future, and now I just want to lead the way." ”

Hearing this, the old patriarch's complexion improved slightly, and then the man said: "My name is Hua Meng, although this Huarong Dao monument has disappeared, but there is a trick to choosing the road in Daze, the terrain has not changed much in thousands of years, and you can find a route similar to the ancient Huarong Road, that is, the swamp is difficult to predict!" ”

"Don't worry about this, I have a way to make people walk on the swamp without falling in!" Lin Yuyan said.

Hua Meng and the old patriarch showed disbelief and asked, "If this is really the case, the seventy-mile Huarong Dao will not be a problem!" ”

At the moment, according to the ancient city of Huarong to repair the army, Lin Yuyan asked the soldiers to cut down the big bamboo, cut it off at its pipe section, and then tied it side by side.

After all, it is a swamp, and in addition to the necessary things, the other baggage was given to the ancient city of Huarong by Lin Yuyan to repay Huameng's love for leading the way.

The clansmen in this ancient city of Huarong were all touched, and the old patriarch also instructed Hua Meng to lead the way.

When it was almost noon, Lin Yuyan stayed behind in Huarong Ancient City, after all, the whereabouts of himself and others could not have any accidents, that is, under the leadership of Hua Meng, they walked into Huarong Road.

Although Lin Yuyan was mentally prepared for the muddy and difficult walk of Huarong Dao, he actually watched it even more! Among them, the swamp is easy to say, Lin Yuyan ordered people to tie the bamboo raft under their feet, and use the pressure to not sink in, but the mountains and rivers in it are very boiling.

Hua Meng held a bamboo pole, encountered the terrain is inappropriate, is careful to explore the way, although Lin Yuyan made a bamboo row, but in some places still have to meet the mountains to open the road, meet the water to build a bridge, fortunately this Huarong ancient road is all trees, but there is no lack of materials.

But this time has come and gone, and time has been delayed.

When the twilight was about to be four, Lin Yuyan had already led his soldiers to a gourd-mouth terrain, and everyone found a boundary monument nearby, which was written in Chu script, and the Jing Chu script was very different from the Central Plains, but Hua Meng recognized that the three Chu characters on it were "Nan Yuling".

Hua Meng reminded: "General, you have already arrived in the area of Jingling, and there is only one Wulin and Yidu separated from that Jingling City, and it is not more than 30 miles away!" ”

Lin Yuyan nodded, and then turned around, this muddy Huarong Dao is really not a false rumor, the soldiers under his command are already weak, and now that it is dark, it is to find a place near the water to wash and rest.

The camp found by the Yulin soldiers is a secret place, close to Hulukou, where the back is against the mountains, the grass is high and the forest is dense, but there is a natural large stone cave, which can shelter from the wind and rain.

After the fire was lit at the moment, most of the men and horses were left to rest, and Lin Yuyan sent out the soldiers of the scout camp to investigate the news.

As of September 27, there are only three days before the date of the event on the first day of October.

Time is not long, but it is not short.

The official road in Yunmengze is flat, but the official road is too tortuous in order to avoid the natural swamp, and the difference between the tomb and Suiguo is only more than 100 miles, while the official road between the two places is more than 300 miles long.

Hearing that there was a loss everywhere, he was forced to attach importance to the grain and grass everywhere, and the northern king Miquan immediately ordered 5,000 leather armor soldiers, and 20,000 cloth soldiers went to the place in a mighty way.

However, as soon as he set foot on the territory of Suiguo, the Northern Wangjun found out that something was wrong, and heard that Suidu had fallen, and the former Suiwang Army resurrected, and all the soldiers of the Northern Wang's army in Suiguo were expelled or killed.

But today, it can't be worth two days, and in the territory of Suiguo, wherever the Beiwang army went, he didn't see a figure of Suiren.

What's more, he didn't even see a grain of grain, which made the northern king Miquan, who got the news, angry at the moment: "Find it for me!" Find it for me! The widow doesn't believe it, and where the tens of thousands go with the people, even if they die, they have to dig out their bodies in the soil for the widows! ”

Mi Yun, who came from Yingdu on the order of the Heavenly Prince, also persuaded: "Uncle Wang, at this time, you should summon the forward general Ju Neng to return to the account and ask!" ”

Mi Quan thought about it before asking people to come back to ask questions.

The march of the Northern King Army was to use the "long formation", that is, the front, middle and rear armies were in formation, the front army was the vanguard, the middle army was the king's tent, and the rear army was to ensure the supply of grain and grass.

Not long after, the forward general Ju Neng came back, looked at the North King's gloomy face, and saluted at the moment: "See the North King!" ”

Mi Quan snorted coldly, and then asked, "Can you see the shadow of Suiren?!" ”

"No!" Ju Neng replied, but added: "The ears and eyes sent out are returned, and the old king's flag of Suiguo is planted all over the city, and it seems that a large number of people and horses have been hoarded!" ”

"Good! It seems that he is hiding in Suidu, Ju Neng, and beat Suidu fiercely to the widow, and he has to slaughter the city this time! delayed the widow's trip to Deng Kingdom, how could the widow easily let them go! ”

Ju Neng's face was embarrassed: "King Bei, now I have traveled two hundred miles, and I haven't buried the pot to cook today, I'm afraid ...... The soldiers are powerless! ”

"Weak?! The widows are also powerless to kill?! ”

Mi Quan was extremely heavy on killing, and when he heard Ju Neng say this, he was also angry in his heart, and when he slapped the table, he said viciously.

Mi Yun on the side persuaded: "Uncle Wang, you shouldn't damage your strength at this time, and it's okay for the army to stop, but Uncle Wang ...... Now that there is a rebellion everywhere, where did the king go?! ”

"With the king?!" was also reminded by Mi Yun, and Mi Quan also looked at Ju Neng angrily and asked, "What about that idiot?!" ”

Ju Neng replied: "I just received a report from the king, saying that he was holding on to Yingcheng!" ”

"Hold on to Yingcheng?" Mi Quan snorted coldly, and then said: "Send someone to Yingcheng to inform this old boy first, I can't see him under the capital tomorrow, and the widow will slaughter Yingcheng first!" ”

"Whoa!" Ju Neng responded.

"Let's go down!"

Seeing that Ju Neng had retreated, Mi Quan's expression eased slightly, and he looked at Mi Yun on the side and said, "It's hard to believe with people, this time I will move west with people to Deng!" ”

Mi Yun said: "Uncle Wang, for some reason, this time I always feel strange about the actions of the people, although the more than 10,000 Northern Wang troops who stayed in the place, although not many of them are cloth soldiers, but they are definitely not defeated by the captives everywhere, doesn't Uncle Wang think it is strange?" ”

Saying this, it reminded Mi Quan, and after thinking about it, he said loudly: "I heard that the spies came to report, the traitors are under the banner of the [Righteous Army], and there are not a few people, about thousands. ”

Mi Yun thought for a while, and slowly spoke: "Uncle Wang, I always feel that this group of traitors has come at the wrong time, we were about to go to Deng Kingdom, but we were turned back to the place by this group of people......

"You mean to say...... Shouwang Huan Yu's hands and feet?! ”

"It's not ......" Mi Yun shook his head and said: "King Shou has always acted above board, and he still disdains this kind of small means, I mean, the origin of this group of traitors must be investigated!" ”

"This is natural, tomorrow we will attack Suidu, and the widow will torture this group of traitors with torture!"

Listening to the Northern King Mi Quan say this, Mi Yun's mind was a little calmer, for some reason, Fang Cai always felt that there was something wrong in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't catch it, and he also said at the moment: "Uncle Wang, in order to prevent the traitors from escaping this time, all official roads must be guarded by people, and these traitors must not be let go!" ”

Hearing this, the king of the north pondered for a moment, and then summoned the generals on the left and right and assigned some people to be stationed at the traffic entrances, which made Mi Yun feel at ease.

The next day, before the Northern Wang Army opened ten miles of land, Ju Neng sent a message to Mi Quan, saying that Sui Wang Yingying had already led the army to recover Suidu.

Mi Quan never thought that he could rest assured that he would be able to hand over the position of the king to Ying Yong, but the important thing is that this person is too small in terms of means and pattern, and suddenly when he heard that Ying Yong had such a ability, Qi Quan was a little uneasy.

At the moment, the old and weak soldiers were left to walk slowly, and only the elite rushed to Suidu.

Far away, Sui Wang Ying Ning was to welcome Mi Quan, and this kind of etiquette made Mi Quan feel good, so he asked: "Sui Wang quelled the rebellion?" ”

"Suidu has been recovered!" He replied with Wang Yingyong.

Mi Quan looked at Suidu, and there was no smell of blood in the air, and asked at the moment: "How is the battle?" ”

Ying Yong replied: "Our army has recovered Suidu without casualties...... However, I didn't see any traitors, and I searched around, but I didn't find them! ”

"So what you took down is an empty city?" Qi Quan's voice was full of coldness, but he immediately thought of something, and immediately asked, "Is there a loss of food in Suidu?!" ”

Only then did Ying Steroid tell the truth with a sweat: "King Bei, the rebels have fled...... There is not a single grain of rice in the granary of Suidu! ”

Qi Quan was angry, and pulled out the sword on his waist to cut Ying Ying: "What does the widow want you for?!" ”

Frightened, Ying Steroid immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, but Qi Yun stopped Qi Quan from slashing at Ying Steroid, and told Ying Steroid: "Sui Wang, there is chaos under your rule, and you have lost military rations, but now is the time to employ people, I will not kill you, but give you three days to find out the traces of the traitor, or you will come to see the king of the north!" ”

"Whoa! Here...... Here! Ying Ning was so frightened that he agreed again and again.
