Chapter 189, Xanadu
Fighting a war is different from occupying territory, and when you hear the news, you can pull a large group of people up. If you want to set up a battlefield, you can't have enough space.
Hidden deep in the mountains, the geographical location of Baogong Mountain is very special.
Not only is it surrounded by endless primeval forests, but if you want to get to Baogong Mountain, you have to pass through a half-mile-long sheep intestine trail. The trail is not on the top of the mountain, on the mountainside, but on a cliff. Although they could barely pass a wheelbarrow, neither of them could cross the road, not to mention the horses.
Fortunately, there is also a row of sturdy wooden fences built on the trail, so as long as you hold on to the wooden fences, the road will not be difficult to pass.
But it would be impossible to march quickly in such a place.
"I didn't expect Wanjiazhuang to hide in such a place, how can people live here?"
Although he hadn't officially seen Wanjiazhuang yet, looking at the sheep intestine path on the cliff from afar, Liu Ruxu immediately frowned.
Although Mu Yan didn't know the specific location of Wanjiazhuang before, no one could stop the determination of a governor. After scattering a large number of scouts and spies, Mu Yan quickly found a hunter Wang Hu who had been to Wanjiazhuang in his early years, so that he could find this sheep intestine trail leading to Wanjiazhuang.
Of course, Mu Yan's army not only had not yet set foot on the trail, but even due to the restrictions of the mountain road, the tens of thousands of troops were far behind.
Wang Hu is not an ordinary hunter, in his early years, he also fell into the grass in other places, but it was only because the gang of bandits was broken up by officers and soldiers in a robbery that Wang Hu had to break away from the bandits and return to the mountains to continue to be his own hunter.
Although when he was a bandit, Wang Hu also saw many women, and the bandit leader's wife was the first beautiful woman snatched from the nearby town. can be compared with Liu Ruxu, that is a scum.
His eyes stopped on Liu Ruxu's face, and Wang Hu said with a flattering face: "The girl's words are wrong, although the road to Wanjiazhuang is extremely difficult, but the place inside is not small. Especially in the valley where Wanjiazhuang is located, the land is fertile and the forests are thick, and it has the reputation of a paradise back then! ”
"Xanadu? Is Wanjiazhuang famous? ”。
"Of course, to say that in the mountains of 100 miles, Wanjiazhuang is the most famous Zhuangzi, and many girls are looking forward to marrying Wanjiazhuang! Even if the transportation is inconvenient, but the productivity of Wanjiazhuang is strong, it doesn't matter if you live in tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people. ”
"Can there be more than 100,000 people in it?"
Although he knew that Wang Hu was boasting, Mu Yan's brows were still deeply wrinkled. Because not to mention tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, as long as Mu Yan is given thousands, or even hundreds, he can firmly guard the internal and external exits of this sheep intestine path.
Of course, Wan Dahu can defend here, but Mu Yan can't defend here, because this is a lone army.
Ignoring Mu Yan, Wang Hu continued to look at Liu Ruxu's chest and boasted: "That's not it." To say that there were no less than ten villages and towns in the mountains of this hundred miles back then, it was after Wandahu built Wanjiazhuang that Wandahu moved all the residents of more than ten villages and towns into Wanjiazhuang. It's not that the villain wasn't in the mountains back then, so he had to move in together. ”
"You can't move into Wanjiazhuang now?"
Although Wang Hu just said something casually, Liu Ruxu asked thoughtfully.
Wang Hu shook his head and said: "Not now, the group of people who moved into Wanjiazhuang at the beginning were all predetermined, like those of us who have been in other places for a while, it is impossible for Wanjiazhuang to let us move in." Moreover, if Wandahu is now said to be a rebellion, it is even more impossible for Wanjiazhuang to let outsiders in. ”
Peeking at Mu Yan, of course Wang Hu knew what Mu Yan was doing with the army, and when it came to the rebellion of ten thousand households, Wang Hu's voice became smaller and smaller.
"My lord, Mu Zhi is back." …,
While a few people were talking, a few figures slowly walked over on the sheep intestine path, and the sergeant beside Mu Yan immediately said.
Since leaving Huiyin Mountain Hulu, Mu Zhi has stayed by Mu Yan's side. Since it is not Mu Yan's style to just look at it, when he found the sheep intestine trail leading to Wanjiazhuang, Mu Yan asked Mu Zhi to disguise himself as an Orion to come forward and investigate.
It's just that Mu Zhi was alone when he went, but when he came back, there were a few more people around him. Even though Mu Zhi did not show any signs of being coerced, Mu Yan's face still sank slightly.
It didn't take long for Mu Zhi to be taken to Mu Yan with a few people.
Although he didn't know what the identities of the other people were, when he looked at a young man who was surrounded by him, the corners of Mu Yan's mouth moved slightly, and he said with a slight suspicion: "Is it Wan Gongzi?" ”。
"The late Marriott met Lord Mu, but I didn't expect that Lord Mu still knew the name of the late life, Marriott is really fortunate to have three lives."
"Do you dare to come to see the general alone? Don't you worry about it? ”。 His eyes swept over the few people around Marriott, but Mu Yan didn't pay too much attention to it. Because although those people also seem to have practiced martial arts, except for Wanchang, they are obviously younger than Marriott, and they are not opponents worthy of Mu Yan's attention, let alone Mu Yan's shot.
Marriott smiled calmly and said: "Lord Mu is too modest, Lord Mu is a dignified Zhizhou, and he is not a flood beast, what is there to be afraid of in his later life?" ”
"But I don't know what happened when Wan Gongzi came here?" Mu Yan said indifferently.
"I don't dare to ask, I came to invite the adults to enter Wanjiazhuang on behalf of my father."
"Is Wanjiazhuang in it?". Mu Yan raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Baogong Mountain.
Although Marriott's figure of nearly 1.80 meters is already considered tall, it is still inferior to Mu Yan, who is more than 1.9 meters tall. In addition, Mu Yan was a civilian official who was transferred from a military general, and in order to exterminate the remnants of thousands of households, he is now back in battle, which looks really heroic and abnormal.
With a slight longing in his eyes, not longing for Mu Yan's identity, but looking forward to Mu Yan's heroic momentum, Marriott nodded and said, "My lord, see me!" Wanjiazhuang is indeed in Baogong Mountain, and the late-born father and more than 10,000 villagers of Wanjiazhuang are looking forward to the visit of Lord Mu, and I wonder if Lord Mu will have time to take a look. ”
"The kindness of Wan Dahu has been appreciated by the general. But it's late today. If Wan Gongzi doesn't give up, why don't you go to the camp of the general to rest for one night, and then we will enter the village together tomorrow. ”
"Late students, please listen to the arrangement of adults."
In the face of Mu Yan's temptation, Marriott showed a look of indifference. Because even if Mu Yan brought tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Marriott had also gone to danger alone in Yuzhou City. Coupled with Jiao Xuan's experience in the army, the difference between 2,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses is not very different for Marriott, and it is not worth moving Marriott at all.
Seeing Marriott's attitude, although Mu Yan was a little displeased, he didn't say anything.
Because Mu Yan didn't say that he couldn't lose to Yu Rong, let alone Wan Dahu and Marriott. With the location of Wanjiazhuang, Mu Yan's 10,000 soldiers and horses were not useful at all. In the absence of personal interests, if you can't be an enemy, you have to try to "make friends", and Mu Yan has to think about how to go to Wanjiazhuang.
Back at the camp behind the mountain, Marriott showed a touch of envy on his face.
An army of 10,000 was no small number anywhere, not only were the entire two hills covered by tents, but the ground was piled up with trees that had been cut down from the expansion camp. Ignoring the countless sergeants who walked through the tents, only such a dense number could completely empty the two hills in one day and one night.
If Wan Dahu can also have such a strict army of military discipline in the future, there is still no big thing to worry about.
After entering the camp, Mu Yan did not continue to follow Marriott, nor did he rush to set a rest camp for Marriott and the others, but asked Mu Zhi to take them around first. …,
While wandering around, Marriott's attention was all on Liu Ruxu, and he didn't take a closer look at the situation in the camp. Because not to mention whether Marriott can understand the many arrangements in the camp, Marriott doesn't believe that the one qiē he sees is all of Mu Yan's hole cards.
Maybe when Marriott leaves, Muyan's camp will immediately change to a different place.
But for Liu Rufu, Marriott has a sense of amazement.
Even though Liu Ruxu is very young, she is not the type of shu girl that Marriott likes. But compared to the first flower in the capital, Ji Jun Mochou, Liu Ruxu is not below it at all.
Even compared with Jun Mochou's gentleness and intelligence, Liu Ruxu has a unique and transcendent temperament. It's not that it's dusty, but there's a feeling that people want to look up, just like the feeling that Tulian gave to Marriott. I didn't expect that there would be such a woman in the folk, and if Liu Ruxu could grow more than ten years old, Marriott was a little itchy.
"Miss Liu, I heard that the girl is the number one flower girl in Yuzhou City, how can she appear here?"
Liu Ruxu also didn't expect that Wanhao would boldly come to Mu Yan's army, knowing that her identity could not be hidden, Liu Ruxu said indifferently: "Isn't Wan Gongzi really not aware of who Lord Mu's enemy is?" The slave family seems to have heard that Wan Gongzi had only been to Yuzhou City not long ago. ”
"That's, could it be that Miss Liu also wants to be unfavorable to Lord Yu?" Marriott reacted quickly.
"How dare the slave family, but will Wan Gongzi also care about this?"
Although the Evergreen Club had obtained a lot of information about Marriott through Guò monitoring Yu Rong, Marriott didn't know anything about Liu Ruxu and the Evergreen Club, so he just shook his head lightly and said, "I can't say I care, but if it's something that is beneficial to me, my father won't let it go." ”
"Oh? I don't know where Master Wan plans to go? Could it be that Master Wan wants to abandon Shenzhou and Yuzhou at the same time. ”
“…… This, the late-born father is just an ordinary businessman, if he wasn't framed by that Yizhi County, how could he have fallen into the current situation, let alone give up or not. ”
has been running around, not to mention how to explain to Liu Ruxu, and Marriott himself doesn't know the true plans of Wandahu. In terms of the geographical location of Baogong Mountain, although Wanjiazhuang is very safe, it is also extremely difficult to send troops out. Relying on Baogong Mountain, Wan Dahu can obviously only choose one of the two prefectures of Shen and Yu as their own development base.
Marriott has already contacted Yu Rong, and now he wants to contact Mu Yan again, I don't know who Wan Dahu intends to target, and Marriott does not dare to speak lightly in front of Liu Ruxu.
I don't know what Marriott was thinking, but Liu Ruxu also fell silent because of Marriott's explanation.
Although Marriott's answer is not flawed, it also means that Wanda has not really made up his mind.
Because if Wanda Hu really made up his mind, it would be impossible for him to stay in Wanjiazhuang now. Although because of the terrain, Wanjiazhuang is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack. But if Wan Dahu wants to use this to dominate the world, it is simply impossible. I don't know what Wandahu is thinking, and Liu Ruxu doesn't dare to look down on this trip to Wanjiazhuang. ……,
