It didn't take long for my army to make its way out of the small valley and into the plains.

It's just that the hinterland of the Central Plains called Heluo that we see is already inhabited, and there are only so many fortresses left in the harvested fields and the Qianmo that extends in all directions.

The villages and houses that were originally near the road or at the intersection were all gone, and only the traces of the overturned land and the broken rubble on it, large or small, were found by chance, and it also showed that there may have been traces of people living here.

The sentinels sent out approached to investigate and found that these fortresses were built haphazardly with different materials from old and new, which looked quite chaotic and even a little tattered.

And most of these fortresses are empty, and the few that have been found have only found some ragged defenders who have frozen to death inside, who seem to have not been dead for long, and their bruised and white corpses still maintain the hideous and strange expression at the moment of death.

This discovery made me vaguely guess that the method of the Northern Dynasty's Qingye fortified wall was nothing more than to forcibly demolish the villages inhabited by the common people, take all of them to build such forts, and then leave the young and strong to garrison.

Despite this, the pace of our army was not delayed for long, and it went down with all the momentum.

After capturing Gongxian, which had few guards and population, and capturing the equally empty and undefended Yan Division, we stopped and set up the first temporary grain platform and messenger post within the siege of the city, and received the news that there were already three armies in the rear to continue to follow up.

During this time, the enemy we encountered was nothing more than a squad of rangers, and under the repeated pursuit of the cavalry battalion and the survival team, they were quickly shot and killed.

Then we also got first-hand information that on the Heluo Field, with the clearing of the strong walls and the great shrinkage of the Luodu side, there was no decent defensive force, and only these peripheral roaming cavalry posts remained, which were just a kind of vigilance.

Then against the wind and snow, we continued to move along the north bank of the Luo River in the territory of Yanshi, and we didn't have to walk long before we saw Shenjing Luodu on the horizon.

The ultimate place that countless people are haunted by,

There are many people in this army who may have never seen such a huge and majestic city in their lifetime, and all kinds of shocking and unbelievable gaffes are endless.

The widows from the Ninth Brigade trembled all over, lying on the cold and dirty ground with their bodies thrown to the ground, chanting some kind of prayer in the Kyushu native language.

"This must be the place where the gods dwell......"

Ren Kuroshima, who was also dumbfounded, muttered to himself with his hands folded

"No, no, even the Divine Abode on the High Heaven Plain has not been so majestic......"

Until a cold voice shatters their longings and illusions.

"As long as you can get in...... The things in this city are not still up to you."

Looking at this capital city that was once full of stories and memories, I can't help but be immersed in the long river of memories, and the fragments of the dregs that have risen again are the bits and pieces of life and experience in Luodu.

At that stage I was in, although the life of the people at the bottom of Luodu was already quite difficult, as long as I had some money, as a foreign student of the domain, I could still find quite good fun and leisure.

The military drama and white drama in the south city, the boating invitation on the Chunming Pond of Beijing University, the festival celebration of the Hu Temple in the East City, the flower and wine bureau in the Sishun Fang,

Even the animal garden and splendid garden in the north of Shangyang Palace, the Tiangong Courtyard and Museum outside the Xuanren Gate in the north city, the big library by the Dachangxing Temple, the ghost market in the south Liulizi Street, and the Jiuqian Building in the North Broken Pond.

Although there are already some signs of the end of flowers and the atmosphere of the last days, it is enough to make people intoxicated and unwilling to break free from this illusion of rising temperature.

The most terrible thing is not to accept the reality just like that, but to have a room full of people who are clearly awake, but still pretending to be in a sweet dream, and can't extricate themselves.

In the turmoil a few years ago, the young people in the two schools tried to use their own blood to wake up the people in their dreams, but unfortunately they failed, and the rest tried to pretend to sleep more soundly.

Now, the moment to break their pretended dreams has finally arrived, and it is a pity that it is too late, and most people may only be greeted by the Northern Dynasty, which is controlled by powerful ministers, and the result of their demise together.

Heluo, as the land of Zhongzhou, can be said to be a source of historic sites and allusions, such as the foot of Shouyang Mountain, where our camp is temporarily stationed now, is also an ancient scenic spot allusion.

Legend has it that those who do not eat Zhou Su, Jizi and Weizi, lived here to escape from the world and avoid the solicitation and arrest of King Wu of Zhou. Therefore, the mountain wall and the side of the road are densely packed with all kinds of celebrities and scholars, and after traveling, they leave various handwritings and inscriptions.

Most of the subjects are about integrity and style, and they do not hesitate to praise them.

However, I can see the undulating Shouyang Mountain at a glance at the low level, and it is hard to imagine that this broken place can hide the two emperors and grandsons of the former dynasty.

Walking between these inscriptions, the snow particles fluttered down, and the freedom was caused by a pride that was in the past, and there was a sudden urge to leave something here.

"Back to the Army"

Yao Zhongping walked to his side and said in a low voice.

"The new site has been selected and arranged......

"White Horse Temple ......"

I was a little surprised to look at the return of the previous troops, it was actually the White Horse Temple? It is known as the first Zen forest in the East and the location of the oldest temple.

Originally, it was one of the places where Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty used to greet the envoys of Tianzhu, and as a result, there were two Buddha sticks that pretended to be gods and ghosts, and the two great scholars of Jiaye Morteng and Zhu Falan arrived at Luo with a white horse carrying Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues, and appeared to say that they fooled Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, and the edict built a monastery outside the Yongmen Gate in Luoyang, in order to remember the merit of the White Horse Sutra, so the name of the monastery was the White Horse Temple.

However, after I rode my horse and traveled several miles to reach the specific location, I had to admit that this was indeed one of the best places and choices for the garrison.

As the origin and ancestral court of the Eastern Soil Buddhism, the White Horse Temple of this era is a typical Buddhist dog in the big household, and the various temple buildings that have been added and repaired in the past dynasties stretch for more than a mile, almost more than the same large town or a small city.

Although during this period, the scattered parts that have been demolished and looted and burned have been looted, but the remaining parts and ruins can still be used, and with a little repair and arrangement, a considerable number of troops can be stationed.

In this winter in the Northlands, there are buildings and stations without shelter, but there is a world of difference, if possible, the ghosts are willing to live in tents and camp in the wind and snow. Covered buildings are also of great benefit to preserve the physical fitness and combat strength of soldiers in winter and reduce daily consumption.

Although the location is a little northerly, it is only a few miles away from the city of Nakdo, and there are well-established roads and relatively strong and easily accessible flat land, which is also suitable as a starting point for our own formation, to set up defensive lines and camps, and to assemble and start the corresponding total sequence.

However, in a certain way,

From the Guangjiao Temple where the Luofu Mountain garrison trained at the beginning, to the Jinshan Temple where the Jingkou War was held, and even the Kaishan Temple where the night battle under the Purple Mountain was held, I still really have a fate with the temple, although I came to lead the troops to fight and kill people without counting.

Above the city head east of Luodu, Zhang Dekun also looked at the army that drove along the north bank of Luoshui in the field with a complicated expression.

The red ball of fire, the purple thunder, and the large and four small balls in the center form the paw print flag.
