Chapter Forty-Nine: The Strange Navy
The weather was hot, and the roads they chose were wild and difficult to walk, and they were in a hurry, and everyone was tired enough to choke along the way, and it was really rare to be able to rest for half a day, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When the night came, they all recovered their spirits, and took advantage of the darkness to cross the grassland in front of them.
After crossing this flat grassland, it is near Hengshan, and they plan to bypass Hengshan from the West Sea, and then on the other side of Hengyang, Hengyang.
Because it is a flat grassland, it is not difficult to travel in the dark on this summer night.
Along the way, Ji Ruhuan and Wu Yuexuan have always been together, but they both found that the gap between the real each other and their impressions is very large.
Not only did Wu Yuexuan feel that Ji Ruhuan was different from what he knew before, but Ji Ruhuan was also impressed by Wu Yuexuan.
Originally, I only thought that he was a flamboyant and domineering young master, but it turned out that this person was far more powerful than he imagined, and he was very careful, no wonder he was able to sit in the position of the chief soldier of Liaodong at a young age in his previous life.
Wu Yuexuan and the group of attendants he brought with him were originally on horseback, but Wu Yuexuan carefully asked everyone to get off the horse and lead the horse on foot, so as not to cause too much noise.
It was his carefulness that didn't cause much movement and saved their lives.
But it turned out that at the foot of Heng Mountain, it had long been occupied, and from a distance, there were camps and fires everywhere, at least tens of thousands, if those people were alarmed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Captain Chen was supposed to lead a team of people to explore the road in front, and then returned to Wu Yuexuan and Ji Ruhuan's side, and said in a low voice, "Young Master Wu, my subordinates have taken a look, there are at least 50,000 people stationed in front, and they will definitely not be able to pass, let's go back." ”
Wu Yuexuan didn't speak, but Ji Ruhuan on the side said, "Do you think this team of people and horses is a little strange?"
Captain Chen asked suspiciously, "Strange?"
Ji Ruhuan nodded, "As far as I know, most of these Da Liang are nomadic herdsmen, they often migrate with the pasture, and what they are best at is building camp tents, but look at them, their camp tents. ”
Everyone looked at the camp tent in the distance, and they heard a person behind Captain Chen speak, "Hey, it's true, I've seen the camp tents in Da Liang, most of them are domed tents, but they are not this kind of square." ”
After a while, Wu Yuexuan spoke, "Captain Chen, inform everyone to enter Hengshan and don't make a move, which will alarm the people over there." ”
Captain Chen said with some hesitation, "Ah, Little Master Wu, let's just be this little person, but we can't stand the toss, let's go back." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Chen felt a cool thing on his neck, the corners of Captain Chen's eyes twitched, and he said with some anger, "Okay, it's just a death." ”
After saying that, he turned around and informed the people behind him.
After Captain Chen left, Wu Yuexuan spoke again, "Wu Tong, you take two people, go to the beach to have a look, be careful, you must come back before dawn." ”
Wu Tong responded and left with two attendants.
It was Wu Yuexuan who said to Ji Ruhuan on the side, "Let's go, go into the mountain." ”
Ji Ruhuan and Wu Yuexuan walked side by side, and couldn't help but whisper to Wu Yuexuan on the side, "Do you also think that these people are not the Great Liang Army?"
Wu Yuexuan hummed softly, and Ji Ruhuan said worriedly, "If it wasn't for the Great Liang Army, where did it come from?"
Wu Yuexuan paused before he spoke, "We'll know when Wu Tong and the others come back." ”
Ji Ruhuan thought that Wu Yuexuan ordered Wu Tong to go to the West Sea, and sighed in her heart, "Are you suspicious, suspicious that these people are the Western Xia Army?"
Wu Yuexuan nodded with a heavy expression, thinking that Ji Ruhuan couldn't see it in the dark night, so he said "um" softly.
If it was really the Western Xia Army, Ji Ruhuan was even more anxious, stopped and said, "If these people are the Western Xia Army, then they must also be coming to Hengyang, does my father know? If not, it will be troublesome." ”
Listening to Ji Ruhuan's louder and louder voice, Wu Yuexuan frowned and reprimanded, "You be quiet, let's go to the mountain and hide first, so as not to let people find out the traces." ”
Stretching for dozens of miles, it is not difficult to hide their 5,000 men and horses, they found a more dense mountain col, just the mountain is not high, climb up to see the camp tent on the edge of Hengshan.
In order not to be exposed, I didn't dare to light the fire, but fortunately, it was a hot summer, and it was not cold in the mountains and forests.
Ji Ruhuan and Wu Yuexuan sat on a big rock on the top of the mountain, nibbling on the dry food in their hands while looking at the flickering lights in the distance, Ji Ruhuan said worriedly, "If these are really the Western Xia Army, Hengyang will be in danger, and I don't know if my father can get the news." ”
Wu Yuexuan responded, "Don't worry, as long as your father doesn't go out of Hengyang, with the defensive fortifications of Hengyang, it shouldn't be a problem to hold on for a month or two, and then the reinforcements will be able to arrive no matter what." ”
Ji Ruhuan didn't speak, if he didn't leave Hengyang, he would be fine, in his previous life, his father was defeated and seriously injured, so he must have been out of Hengyang, so why did his father come out of Hengyang?
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, she had to find a way to enter Hengyang, and she had to stop this from happening no matter what.
But how do you get into Hengyang? She really has no choice but to pin her hopes on Wu Yuexuan on the side, "What should we do now, how can we enter Hengyang?"
Wu Yuexuan responded, "Don't be anxious, let's wait for Wu Tong to come back and confirm the situation before we find a way, you go and rest for a while." ”
Ji Ruhuan shook her head, and Xiaohua said worriedly, "Miss, you can rest for a while, I don't know how many things will happen when it dawns." ”
Xiaohua's words reminded Ji Ruhuan that she should indeed maintain a good mental state, nodded in response, and followed Xiaohua down the mountain.
But I was anxious in my heart, how could I sleep at this time, I loved to think crankily when I closed my eyes, and I stayed up so nervously until the weather was slightly cold, only Wu Tong's voice came from the other side.
When Ji Ruhuan passed, Wu Tong was talking to Wu Yuexuan and the others, and he didn't avoid Ji Ruhuan, so he heard Wu Tong say, "There are at least tens of thousands of warships on the seaside, and there are tens of thousands of people over there. ”
On the side, Captain Chen shook his head and said, "How can it be our people?"
Wu Tong responded, "I also felt strange, so I took the opportunity to arrest someone, let's ask, and we will know what's going on." ”
As he spoke, Wu Tong pointed to the person who was lying on the ground not far away and was still unconscious.
Captain Chen volunteered, "Leave this matter to me, and let him explain it honestly." ”
Wu Yuexuan nodded, "Move faster." ”
After Captain Chen left, Ji Ruhuan looked at Wu Yuexuan and said, "Could it be that the South China Sea Navy came to support Hengyang?"
Wu Yuexuan shook his head and said, "Impossible, not to mention that Kyoto has no order at all, just now that there is a change in South Vietnam, it is impossible for the South China Sea Navy to come to support the north with a rash move, there are only tens of thousands of warships like ours, when will this Western Xia be able to build the same warships as us?"
Ji Ruhuan frowned, and suddenly thought of the conspiracy between the Song Prime Minister and the staff of the Four Princes, could it be that this Song Prime Minister or the Four Princes also had something to do with Western Xia? This Western Xia is separated by a Western Sea and a Great Liang Country.
