To get from Xishan Township to Hepu, the best way to take is an official road, and Lin Bei and Bian Ji and their party take the official road.

The moment he saw the official road, Lin Bei had only one thought: it was really bad.

The official road is a mud road, only three meters wide, this width is very difficult to pass through two carriages, as for the ox cart can definitely only pass through guò, not to mention, the official road is still potholes, now the weather is drier, after stepping on the mud flying, it will not be long before you can paste the mud on your face.

On the other hand, on both sides of the official road, there is wilderness, this is uncultivated land, now it is spring, wild grass grows wildly, Lin Bei feels that it is better to go wilderness than to take the official road, of course, this has something to do with Lin Bei is now a giant python.

"This is the kind of road to Hepu County?" After walking for a while, Lin Bei asked Bian Ji, this kind of road is so bad that Lin Bei even thinks that even some field roads in backward rural areas in modern times are N times stronger than this, and people can at least ride a bicycle or something.

Bian Ji was obviously used to it, and nodded and said: "Yes, my lord, it's all like this, this official road is said to have been cultivated for hundreds of years, but unfortunately the imperial court has not cultivated it in recent decades." ”

It was still an old-fashioned official road, Lin Bei was speechless again, shook his head, stopped talking, and continued to hurry.

As he hurried along, Lin Bei could see that there were many trails extending from the official road, but now these trails were overgrown with weeds, and it was obvious that no one had walked for a long time, and when he asked Bian Ji, Bian Ji did not speak, but Long Yi replied: "My lord, these trails lead to various villages, but now most of these villages are deserted, and they are deserted. These people were either incorporated into my Xishan Township or went to the county. Or they were killed during the Yellow Turbans' rebellion. ”

Long Yi's words are a good description of the situation in Hepu County, which is really vast and sparsely populated. There is no one at all within a few hundred miles, and the previously fertile land has become a wilderness, but unfortunately the transportation is inconvenient, otherwise it will all be reclaimed, and how many people will have to be raised, of course, the premise is that there must be so many people.

In fact, the more you know about Nanyue, the more Lin Bei will feel that the land of Nanyue is the real blessed land, and there are few people in the land of Nanyue. This means that there is very little food in demand, if there is a small number of people who occupy the territory here and operate it a little, they can meet the food needs of the entire South Vietnamese people, in this era, the places where you can eat are good places, on the contrary, there are too many people in the Central Plains, and it is not easy to feed so many people.

If you do it yourself. So what will be done? Lin Bei couldn't help but think.

Although he was reluctant, there were now more than 12,000 people following Lin Bei, and Lin Bei couldn't ignore this at all, and people believed in him. As a principled and good person, Lin Bei naturally has to think about these people, how to make these people live better? This is a question that Lin Bei needs to consider in the future.

Think slowly. Walk slowly, close to noon. Lin Bei and they arrived at a dilapidated post station.

There are a total of two post stations between Xishan Township and Hepu County, and this is the first one. Bian Ji has introduced the situation of these two post stations to Lin Bei, like this official road, the post station has not been repaired for decades, there were three people when the post station was the most fully equipped, and then gradually became a person, and the function of the post station was almost completely lost, and now it has become a place to stay in the head, but after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there was no one at the post station.

Lin Bei and they entered the post station, Lin Bei can not eat, Bian Ji and Long Shenwei must take a rest, in addition, the sergeants of the township regiment passed by not long ago, and some of the fires still have residual warmth.

While Bian Ji was eating, Lin Bei went out of the post station and walked around, it was really desolate, the weeds were more than a meter high, and there were many small trees, and Lin Bei could even hear the wolf howl from the wilderness.

After resting, we continued until it was dark.

On the way, Lin Bei didn't meet a person, there were no ghosts, except for Lin Bei and his party, this place is really similar to no man's land, it is very lonely.

They couldn't walk after dark, because there were wolves in this kind of wilderness, so the dragon guards began to be busy with camping, they gathered firewood and hay and came back, and raised the fire, and today they had to sleep in the wilderness.

In the past, Lin Bei thought that Hepu County and Xishan Township should not be far away from only one day's journey, but Lin Bei really thought wrong, this distance was calculated more than a hundred years ago, at that time the road was not bad, and the carriage ran relatively fast, and now the road is too bad, so the original one-day journey may have to become a day and a half, and Bian Ji is walking slowly, and he may have to arrive in Hepu after noon tomorrow.

Bian Ji was indeed tired enough, his age was already quite old in this era, and he couldn't slow down after resting for a long time, sitting there panting, Lin Bei saw that Bian Ji had gray hair on his head.

"Master, in the future, try not to travel far, if you have to travel far, you should take a carriage." Lin Bei was a little unbearable.

Bian Ji said with a smile: "Lord Xie is sympathetic to his subordinates, Bian Ji can still support it, if he is really too old to walk, Bian Ji will be like this." ”

Long Yi warmed the water bag, walked over, asked Lin Bei first, Lin Bei didn't drink, and then handed it to Bian Ji, Bian Ji drank a few sips, finally gasped, and said with a smile: "My lord, after this battle, my Xishan Township should be better, right?" ”

Lin Bei nodded: "Of course, there will be more and more people, and there will be no war, so it will naturally get better and better." ”

"Fortunately, I met an adult, otherwise Bian Ji would have been mediocre in his life, where would there be such a wonderful life."

Lin Beixin said that it was not because I was fortunate to meet me, but that the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty were so wonderful.

After talking about the conversation, Bian Ji began to get tired, Long Shenwei laid out the hay and lay down, Lin Bei asked Long Shenwei to rest, but Long Shenwei still left four people on duty at night, two were outside the post station, and two were inside, extremely loyal.

Nothing was said all night.

Before dawn, Lin Bei and Long Shenwei signaled, and turned around a few times, there was a hill in the distance where the camp was set up, Lin Bei went over to take a look, how did he know that there was a surprise in this look, there was actually a peach tree on the mountain, and I don't know who planted it or it was originally wild.

At this time, the peach tree has already borne fruit, but the peaches are still fluffy, and they look extremely green. But in a month or two, the peaches will be red. Lin Bei wrapped his tail around the peach tree and made a lot of effort. He uprooted the peach tree and came back.

Long Shenwei replanted the peach tree and planted it next to the road, and when he came back again, Lin Bei would transplant it to Longtan, as long as it was planted well, it would be a large peach forest in a few years.

After Bian Ji woke up, he was also surprised to see the peach tree: "My lord, where did you get this peach tree?" I even had peaches. ”

"I was walking around just now, and I didn't know that I found this peach tree. What an unexpected surprise. "Lin Bei is quite proud, although Xishan Township is close to Fushan, but there are almost no fruit trees, and there are naturally no peach trees.

"Students used to eat it, but now they haven't eaten it for years, and now they can eat it again, which is a blessing for adults."

Bian Ji was more attached to the peach tree than Lin Beidu, and after Long Shenwei finished planting, Bian Ji also asked Long Shenwei to pour the water in the water bag into the ground. Because he was afraid that the peach tree would die, he then told Long Shenwei not to forget to remind him when he came back.

There are good things in the morning, and the whole day is in good spirits. Bian Ji was the same, he seemed a little brisk when he was in a hurry, but he waited until the second post station. Bian Ji's face began to be solemn, because Hepu County was not far away.

"Your Excellency. There are about 30 miles of land in Hepu County. Bian Ji said.

It was about four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was already setting in the west. Lin Bei and his party finally rushed to the outside of Hepu County, at this time there are more than ten miles away from Hepu County, two rangers have long been equal to here, this is the rangers of Xishan Township, after seeing Lin Bei, they quickly picked up the people and took Lin Bei into a hill on the side, Meng Huo's two thousand soldiers have been resting in the forest, just waiting for the siege at night.

"What's going on now?" When Bian Ji saw Meng Shu coming, he immediately asked.

"My lord, Master, the sentry has come to report, Hepu County is normal, and there is no vigilance." Meng replied.

Bian Ji was a little incredulous: "This big head is actually so light on the enemy? There are no sentinels outside the city? ”

Normally, even if it is to defend the city, some light cavalry must be left outside to listen to the news, but Xu Datou obviously did not, maybe he didn't think that the township regiment would come to attack, after all, the number of township regiments is indeed too small, and the siege is far from enough, but it is precisely because he can't think of it, so Xu Datou is already doomed to failure.

Meng said: "Now Xu Shu is already in the east of the city, and Commander Wang Qianfu is also in the west of the city, and they are all resting, just waiting for a battle at night." ”

"Where's Cui Lan?" Lin Bei asked.

"The sentinel has gone to deliver the news, but it has not returned, I think the road is a little long."

No news is good news, and now there are secret posts of the township regiment outside Hepu County, if Cui Lan really has an accident, then there will be news a long time ago.

The sun gradually set, Lin Bei stayed in the forest, remembering the big battle to be fought at night, and suddenly became a little nervous, this was the first time he participated in this kind of war, and some nervousness was inevitable, so Lin Bei was silent at all, Meng Shu and Bian Ji didn't dare to disturb when they saw Lin Bei like this, so they didn't expect that Lord Longshen would also be nervous.

It was dark, the sergeants began to act, and those who slept had already gotten up, under the command of the commander, the chief, the centurion and other commanders, checked the armament, tied up the trouser legs of the clothes, and then drank water and ate, the atmosphere of the big battle was quite strong, Lin Bei inhaled deeply, and tried to make his head empty.

The noise lasted for two hours, about eleven o'clock in the evening, the sergeants had eaten and drunk enough, the armaments had been checked, and the time was almost up, Meng Shu came over and bowed to Lin Bei: "My lord, Master, Meng Huo is going." ”

Lin Bei was stunned and didn't know what to say, but Bian Ji was experienced: "Be careful here, my lord and I are waiting for your good news." ”

Meng Shu nodded, stopped talking, waved his hand to the sergeant behind him, and walked out of the forest.

Today is a good weather, there is no moon, the field is dark, can hide the traces well, although Meng Shu has more than 2,000 people, but the sergeant's movements are very light, and it is quite difficult for the yellow scarf to find.

After Meng Shu left, Lin Bei and Bian Ji also walked out of the forest, and then walked towards the high head of the mountain, with Lin Bei's current vision, there was not much difference between day and night.

After reaching the high place, Lin Bei looked down and could see the huge outline of Hepu County, and the sergeants led by Meng Huo quickly approached the county seat. (To be continued......)

PS: PS: In the Three Kingdoms period, war is definitely indispensable, but the rhythm of this book is not war, but development, so there will not be too many wars in the future, of course, some important wars will not be skipped, yesterday the monthly pass was so little, the first order was only more than 400 points, it was really miserable.
