(Thank you very much for the tip, thank you!) ）

Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, the north is long.

Although Ling Yun is familiar with geography, since Yangzhou went north, he finally deeply felt what it means to be vicissitudes. Although Taihang is still there, the Yellow River has changed course several times in thousands of years, and the Suitang Grand Canal, which has been working for thousands of years, has not yet started construction, not to mention the countless unfamiliar place names on the simple map.

Fortunately, the river will change, but the mountain will not move. According to his rich geographical knowledge, Lingyun used mountains as a reference, and then supplemented by river references, and finally drew a new map of his own by combining ancient and modern place names. The value of such a map is precious, Ling Yun not only marked the mountains and rivers on it, but also listed some important passes and passes in military geography, and even marked some important mineral deposits in his memory. Of course, this map is a private secret map, and in order to keep it secret, he marked it in English, and he did not believe that someone would be able to decipher his map at this time.

It has been more than a month since Zhangnan from Beizhou to the north, which is a team of more than 1,000 people, more than a dozen people, and the team is huge.

During the days when he went north, Ling Yun spent most of his time trying to read the green forest roster given to him by Murong Qiangrose, which not only had the details of the Tiger Alliance's belongings, but also the details of the cottages, including the location of their cottages, leaders, belongings, minions and weapons. Of course, the location of the Tiger League's headquarters was also marked very clearly, and after a long time of comparison, Ling Yun finally found the location of the Tiger League's chief rudder on his new map, which was later Zhangjiakou Zhangbei County.

And in this era, the general helm of the LTTE was stationed. It was also once a famous place.

The Northern Wei Dynasty once placed six towns in the north, and later added several towns in the northwest and northeast. Among these important military towns, there is a military town in Zhangbei. It's called Huaihuang Town. Huaihuang Town used to be an important military town to guard against the grassland Rouran people, and it was heavily garrisoned. Geographically, Huaihuang Town belongs to the southern edge of the Mongolian Plateau, which is later called the plateau dam terrain, which has been outside the Great Wall in the north since the dynasties.

In fact, Lingyun went north from Beizhou, and after passing through Youzhou, he had to cross two Great Walls in a row.

The first Great Wall is in the north of Youzhou. Lingyun and others exited the military capital pass from the famous Great Wall Pass in the northwest of Youzhou, which was later known as Juyong Pass. After exiting the customs, all the way to the mountains and valleys and deep Xiongguan are steep, it is the only way for Hebei to pass through the grassland or the east of the river, and it is under the nine stops in the world. All the way through Huailai, Zhuolu to the later generations of Zhangjiakou, here, there is a Great Wall.

After the first Great Wall, the road of the military capital has become extremely steep and difficult to travel, and this road is also known as Guangou. It is one of the eight famous passages that pass through Taihang. This natural danger pass is located in the peaks and canyons of Taihang Mountain and Yan Mountain, as long as more than 40 miles, the terrain is extremely dangerous, and it has always been the throat of Youzhou connecting Hebei and Saiwai.

The further northwest you go. Crowds are becoming more and more scarce, and sometimes there are no people for most of the day. The official road has become a path that resembles a beast's path, and on both sides of the road are high mountains and deep valleys. Especially after passing through the ditch, at the exit. There is an isolated hill in the shape of colored beads. And on its east and west sides, there are two tall peaks, like two dragons rushing down, just become the trend of two dragons playing with pearls, so it is called Erlong Mountain.

Wang Bao said that this majestic mountain is the demarcation line of the power of the Tiger League, and since then, it has officially stepped into the sphere of influence of the Tiger League. As a border of the Tiger League, Erlong Mountain not only has a fortress and a fortress built by the imperial court and military, but also a hall of the Tiger League.

"This is the southernmost hall of our Tiger League, Erlong Hall, originally this was guarded by the two righteous brothers of the old master, and then the two old hall masters returned to the helm to recuperate, here by the two righteous sons of the old master, Tai Tai Bao and the Second Tai Bao stationed, Erlong Tang has a total of 800 brothers, and it is the third hall of the Tiger League after the White Horse Hall and the general rudder." Wang Bao sat on the horse and introduced Ling Yun. He didn't mention the names of the two hall masters, but judging by his tone, he didn't seem to like the two masters of the two dragon halls very much.

Ling Yun carefully recalled the information he had read from the Green Forest roster, the eldest lady Paul Fang, who was two years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, was the first to invest in Murong Ke's name, a tall man, a long tiger's back and a wolf's waist, extremely powerful, using a meteor chain hammer, with a hot temper, and a name Tyrannosaurus. The second master, Xue Liang, is good at shooting Chinese New Year's Eve today, and can use the beaded arrow method of the seven stars to catch the moon. However, Xue Liang is not tall, and even a little thin, he usually smiles at everyone, but secretly he is ruthless, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him a smiling tiger. These two people are from a green forest family, and their father was once a member of a group of horse thieves who roamed the Xi grassland. Later, he died in the raiding and became an orphan, and when he was more than ten years old, he was adopted as a righteous son by Murong Ke.

"Send someone to inform the two righteous brothers that we are at the bottom of the mountain, and ask them to send someone to lead us up the mountain." Lingyun Road. He realized that after arriving in Northern Xinjiang, he might not only meet people such as Shan Xiongxin and Xu Gai. Shan Xiongxin and Xu Gai are more black and white, and even say that they are not really green forests. And when it comes to the outside of the border, it is different, such as Luo Fang Xue Liang, these are real frontier green forests. The further north you go, the more these people you will face. This will be a difficult road, and he will dance with the wolf.

Wang Bao seemed to really have a bad relationship with the people of Erlongtang, and his tone revealed a little coldness, "Don't be so troublesome, San Lang, they will show up themselves." ”

Although Ling Yun could find some information about Erlongtang and the two Taibao from the roster, he did not have any memories of his past acquaintance with these two masters.

Wang Bao was the first general of his White Horse Hall Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry, and his attitude towards Erlongtang made Ling Yun see that within the Tiger Alliance, even the most core of the Thirteen Halls were not closely united. This really fulfills the old saying, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

As the team continued on, they passed a fort with about fifty garrisons. This group of soldiers was sitting on the stone fort and basking in the sun, and their duties here were more on guard than defense. Once an alarm is spotted ahead, their greatest role is to light a beacon fire, not to resist. Of course. Located on the main road to the exit of Guangou, they also have a good side hustle. That is to collect tolls. Tolls are not a legal right, and their real duty is to inspect the vendors. Check the spies or prohibited things out of the customs. However, power is money, guarding this trade route and checking past business travels will naturally become a collection of tolls, and the inventory has become inferior.

Lingyun's team is really huge, the carriages and horses are luxurious, and at first, this group of soldiers thought that a group of fat sheep had come, but they could wait for Yu Wenhua and directly stepped forward. When a whip was thrown into the face of the warrior and made a blood-red whip mark, the man immediately became much more honest. Although these people say that they are guarding here, but this is a mistake, living outside the Great Wall, inside the Second Great Wall, it is not dangerous, they are surrounded by the Imperial Court's Beacon Fortress Army, on the contrary, the benefits of garrisoning here are amazing. That's why I'm able to stay here. In fact, they are all government troops with some identity backgrounds. Yu culture and arrogant attitude, on the contrary, made them dare not mess around. When Yu Wenhua showed the official seal of his own private and three divisions, these soldiers could only keep bending down to apologize. Kaifu Yi and the three divisions can all get up and sit side by side with the head of Youzhou Thorn History. How dare they offend these pawns.

Ling Yun stepped forward, and after revealing his official position, he asked Jingde to take out ten pieces of money to distribute to the soldiers in the fort. and he also rewarded them with a hundred and ten pounds of wine and meat. A little copper coin and wine and meat are nothing. But he can win over the soldiers here. After all, the position they guarded was very important, and now they were bought. It may be useful in the future.

Ten pounds of money and a hundred catties of wine and meat are indeed not much, these soldiers usually check the business travel and collect tolls, which is a lot of money, even if they have to hand over the big head, but they can still get a lot. However, this money is not a toll, but a young aristocratic son who chartered the opening of the palace, so it is very different. Looking at the appearance of this team, the lord of the war had already regarded Ling Yun as a disciple of the Guanlongmen valve. He didn't know Yi Feng's name, but when Yu Wenhua revealed his identity just now, he was very clear about the identity of this light son, the son of Yuwen in the court, and the son-in-law of Shangzhu and Guogong. And this son of the Shangzhu country seems to be still under the surname Yitong, with the family background of Yuwen Valve, with Yu culture and the official position of Kaifu, but he is still under the surname Yi, which can only show that the surname Yi is bigger. He couldn't think of any important ministers with the surname Yi in the court, maybe it was a county king who changed his name and changed his surname to Yulong Baifu, and it was possible for the lord to think like this, and his actions became more and more humble.

Ling Yun said a few words to them, drank the horse and replenished the water, and then continued on his way.

After getting out of the ditch, it entered the Huairou Basin, which was the Guanting Reservoir in later generations, and at this time there was the Sanggan River flowing from the east of the river into Hebei, and it was also a fertile land here, and the population gradually increased. The view is wide, and the mountains on both sides spread out on both sides.

Erlongtang is hidden in this mountain range. Erlongtang did not set up a village on the most dangerous Erlong Mountain, because there were officers and soldiers stationed there, a fort in ten miles, and a village in fifty miles, and they dared to stand there to find death.

"Erlongtang has arrived!" Wang Bao suddenly said in Ling Yun's ear.

As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow suddenly shot down from the mountain in front of him, and it came with a scream, and nailed it to the road in front of the team, and the tail of the arrow kept trembling.

"Listen to the people below, I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to fight this, leave the money to buy the road!" A rough voice echoed across the mountain path.

Hearing such an interesting charging language, Ling Yun couldn't help but laugh, he turned his head to look at Wang Bao: "This is the brother of Erlong Hall?" ”

Wang Bao nodded helplessly: "Well, it's them." When you pass through here, you have to pay them money for the journey. If they are interested in leaving one-thirtieth of the value of the goods, then they will not be embarrassed and let them go. And if you refuse to give, or deliberately give less, you may have to bleed profusely. If you still dare to resist, or even let the people of Erlongtang suffer a loss, the consequences will be strict, and you will kill people after robbing money. ”

Ling Yun nodded, generally speaking, although the rules of the Second Dragon Hall are a bit overbearing, there are still some rules. Thirty tax is indeed a lot of bleeding, but compared to safety, it is also a good deal. It's just that how many people are willing to let this knife be slaughtered?

The people who released the arrows on the mountain had shouted several times, but Ling Yun and the others didn't pay attention to it at all, but began to stop advancing, and unscrupulously began to drink the horses, feed the horses, eat dry food, and rest on the spot.

"Boss, these people don't understand the rules, do you want me to take my brothers to teach them how to behave?" A small minion asked a tall man with a meteor chain hammer in his hand. (To be continued......)
