"It's better to be in the north." Cai Yue rode on the horse, feeling the gentle breeze, and was quite happy. It's not that I really like the climate of the north, but in terms of my hometown alone, Cai Yue belongs to the north. Otherwise, judging from her growth in the south when she was a child and followed Cai Yong to avoid trouble, she should be more suitable for the climate in the south of the Yangtze River.

Of course, Youzhou is not Cai Yue's hometown, and they are Chenliu, but it doesn't matter. This trip to the north can be regarded as going through a lot of hardships, and finally, we are about to reach our destination. Presumably, the people who were sent to Yuyang City to deliver the letter first have already entered Yuyang City.

Daji was a little distressed and said, "I don't like it, it's too dry." ”

As he spoke, he touched his delicate face, and he always felt too dry. Well, it's actually still creamy and tight.

"Qi Ji, how do you feel?" Daji asked, turning her head.

"It's okay no matter what, as long as Brother Zhou is here." Qi Ji said weakly.

"Uh......" Daji covered her forehead, and said in her heart that she shouldn't ask you, isn't the answer obvious.

Unbeknownst to them, however, a crisis awaited.

The messenger sent in advance rushed to Yuyang non-stop, normally speaking, Youzhou is Zhou Shaoyu's territory, and Yuyang City is not a border area. Therefore, there is no need to be vigilant. Sometimes, however, partiality is just such a coincidence.

The messenger sent was very sad, as an elite guard, he was naturally focused on Zhou Shaoyu, and now that he was about to arrive in Yuyang City, he was willing to meet the young master, how could he not be excited? And then...... Plunged headlong into the Turkic array!

At that time, the Turks happened to correct on the spot, and it happened to be a corner of the road and a mountain, and it was a defenseless summer, wouldn't it be normal to plunge into it?

Then something strange happened, and the guard was very confused, because these people knew at a glance that they were not from the Great Liang, and no one from the Great Liang only had a small braid on the back of his head. But where did these people come from? My head was a little empty for a moment. But there was no obstacle in his body movements, and he continued to beat the horse forward.

These people were also confused, where did they come from, they actually rushed in on one person and one horse. But at the beginning, I really didn't expect it to be an outsider, because the Jin cavalry army was not all composed of Jin people, or a very small number of Liang people or Silla people and even Turkic people.

Mainly, I didn't expect that if it was an enemy, I would dare to break through alone.

It wasn't until he was about to rush to the end from this end that the golden man suddenly reacted.

"Not good! He has hair and is an enemy! Stop, stop! It must be an enemy scout! ”

Wow...... The people were in an uproar, and they actually let an enemy spy run from beginning to end?

Fog grass! The guard's heart was half cold, in fact, he didn't run far before he reacted, his forehead was full of cold sweat, but the matter has come to this, if he suddenly turns around and looks stunned, he simply rushes to the end, but unfortunately he was still discovered.

"I'm going to pull a cushion to die!" The guards are all low, as the elite selected from the elite, how much ability can be a guard? Not to mention, they were transferred to Daji's side. Theoretically, the more beautiful the girl, the higher the ability to protect her.

Raise your right arm and aim at the nearest golden man behind you, a small hand crossbow! At such a close distance, even if it is a galloping horse, it is impossible to miss.

"Kill one enough!" With a cold snort, he slammed his body to the side, but a sharp arrow grazed past him.

Dare to shoot me? Look at my killer!

Although there is basically no need to think about firearms on the side of the girder, there are still some things that can be bluffed. Like what......

I saw the guard take out a bottle from the pocket on the horse's back, and then feel for a fire fold. I don't look at it and throw it back, ahaha, anyway, there are a lot of people, I'm not afraid of smashing it, besides, this thing is almost bluffing, and it's hard to cause damage.

But that's enough.

As everyone knows, all living things are probably afraid of fire. Horses are no exception, unless they have undergone rigorous training, they will subconsciously avoid fire.

Now it was like this, the Molotov cocktail didn't hit anyone, it fell directly to the ground, but the next moment it burst into flames. The horses in this area were frightened, either suddenly accelerating violently, or constantly turning sharply. Or even a quick stop. But when you stop at a gallop, the war horse will also fall, well, even people and horses have to fall.

Such a mess will affect one piece.

Originally, even if this pipeline was not wide, except for one section, it would naturally hit it up without warning, even if the chain reaction caused was not too much, it was enough to stop most of the pursuers. This is also a bonus, greatly increasing the hope of survival.

didn't dare to go straight to Yuyang City, so he could only take a detour and continue to escape. Hundreds of gold people were taken away. It remains to be seen what the outcome will be.

However, Yuyang City has already entered a state of alert, and the four gates are closed. Since he knew that the other party was coming with 30,000 cavalry, there was naturally no reason to fight hard, and the cavalry was not suitable for attacking the city anyway. Moreover, in Youzhou at the moment, except for Yancheng and Yuyang City, there are basically no people in other places, and they are not afraid of robbery.

The only thing is that there are many villages outside Yancheng. As for Yuyang City, it is the residence of sailors and craftsmen.

"The Jin people suddenly sent someone here!?" Xu Miaojin, who was sitting in Yuyang, frowned.

Wu Meiniang was much clearer in her thinking, and said: "Without him, the situation of the grassland war will inevitably change." In my opinion, the Jin people went directly south to here, and there was only one goal! ”

"Sailor!?" Xu Miaojin also had some understanding.

"Sailor can't be." Wu Meiniang shook her head: "Once you get to the sea, no matter how strong the cavalry is, it will be useless." I'm afraid it's for craftsmen. If we are strong sailors, we can go directly to Kanto by sea. ”

Hearing this, Xu Miaojin also smiled.

"If this is done earlier, I am afraid that it will be a bit tricky, and there will be no way to hide all the craftsmen in the city in a short time. And now......"

That's true.

Although Yuyang City is close to the sea, it is impossible to be completely next to the sea, it is not so safe to be too close, and it is still very dangerous to completely rise in the tide, wind and waves. No matter how low the odds are. Therefore, Yuyang City is actually more than ten or twenty miles away from the sea. Shipbuilders and sailors are stationed here.

At present, most of the ships are either going to Towa to trade with Sister Uesugi. Either that or went to Silla's Tamna Island. There were not many warships left. It was only possible to barely fill the sailors and leave the coast. In this way, the craftsman becomes a big problem.

And at this time, I have to thank Huang Yueying.

For a long time, Huang Yueying has been studying fish farming in cages at sea. After unremitting research, there is basically no need to think about the rope that does not rot all year round, but I have also figured out a rope that can be used for three to five years. That's pretty good already.

It just so happened that the Yuyang Navy Division lacked warships, and the soldiers who could pull them to the sea for drills could only be a part, and they had to be rotated. simply asked the sailors who could not get on the ship to do the experiment, and they made a large piece of sea surface to pull the net. You can even figure out a wooden house floating on the sea. This is also to facilitate future promotion and be guarded.

Naturally, these wooden houses can't accommodate so many people. But under the many cages, it is also a big project, and the buoyancy is very large. And the craftsmen who build ships can not be good at water? Dodge up, the arrow can't be shot, then it will be safe.

"Quickly, quickly, all supplies and critical resources are brought into the ship. If the sailor can't squeeze it, don't squeeze it, and avoid it on the rack of the net box. Xie Daoyun commanded unhurriedly. This is the unanimous opinion of her and Huang Yueying.

There are some things that cannot be taken away and will inevitably be destroyed. But what can be taken must be taken away, especially rice. Otherwise, it is not enough to hide on the cage rack and lack food and clothing, and it is safe to carry rice and grain to be transported by sea ships.

Huang Yueying was very distressed and wanted to bring almost everything, especially many half-finished ships, but it was a pity that she ......

"Damn the Golden Man!" Huang Yueying was very indignant.

At the same time, Li Xiuning, who was on the grassland, was also furious.

"What! The Jin people have less than 30,000 troops! Li Xiuning was shocked and angry. In the past few days, I have been chasing not far and not close to look for opportunities, but what is the result? The eyelids are low, and there are tens of thousands less! And it is still missing the most elite golden cavalry.

Where can this go? Where else can I go!?

Damn it! Li Xiuning suddenly had mixed feelings. With the current strength of Youzhou, most of them can barely support 50,000 deaths, and they are basically foot soldiers. Winning is something you don't have to think about. Of course, if you can't defend it, you won't lose much, but where is the goal of the Jin people? Even if there are no casualties, the damage to the material is certain.

Although no one will blame, Li Xiuning himself can't help but care. Think it's her negligence!

"Order, the whole army turns around and goes south, let's go back to Youzhou!" Li Xiuning immediately ordered.

On the other side, Ashina Huqin immediately sent an envoy to ask, but he didn't pay any attention. And the Jin side is on the side.

Wan Yande heard that the so-called Bran Department went south to help, and smiled happily.

"My plan has taken effect!" Wanyande pretended to be a sven, and then laughed without an image.

Do you really think that the 30,000 cavalry army is going to the sailor station and craftsmen in Yuyang City? Wrong! That's just a tiny part of the plan!

Diverting the tiger away from the mountain is the real intention. Wan Yande is confident, even if he lacks the 30,000 elite cavalry, he still has the certainty of victory in the face of Ashina's troops alone. And the 30,000 cavalry, ha, how dare they be called elite without the ability, there may be some casualties, but most of them will definitely be able to return smoothly.

"Order, the whole army will turn back and fight to the death with Ashina!"

It's just that what Wan Yande didn't expect was that after Li Xiuning led the army to travel a hundred miles......

"Pass my general order, the whole army will be repaired on the spot, and the scouts will keep an eye on the Jin army for me, and report it as soon as there is any change!" Li Xiuning sneered and raised the corners of her mouth, this kind of complicated expression rarely appeared on her face.

Think I've been tricked? Hah, but just go with the flow.

The 30,000 golden cavalry into Youzhou did make her feel guilty and angry, but it wouldn't be a big problem. And even if he went back, it would be impossible to eat the 30,000 cavalry. That being the case, why don't you simply stay and give Wan Yande a fatal blow!

Anyway, the original plan was not to let Ashina and Jin Ren lose both, and then they took the opportunity to finish. And now, the Jin people have 30,000 fewer elites, and the casualties are bound to be heavier!

At this time, the 30,000 cavalry troops who entered Youzhou also rushed to the craftsman station outside Yuyang City, and saw that no one was at sea, so they were naturally very unhappy, and Hulala burned the station completely with a fire. I was very interested in looting a wave, but except for Yuyang City, there was no one nearby. I was very annoyed, too.

And at this time, Daji is here!

"What? Another soldier of unknown origin from the south? Xu Miaojin was surprised. Because the guards who passed the message were pursued and disappeared, Yuyang City did not receive any news at all.

Daji didn't think about it so much, so she was ready to approach directly. As a result, huh? Huh? Why are the four doors closed? Shouldn't you go out of the city to greet you? Or is it a punishment for them to run away without permission?

Before he could send someone to negotiate, he saw a wave of men and horses appear in the east, numbering about 3,000.

In fact, it was the people and horses that the Jin people were ready to pull out but plundered, ran a lap and didn't get anything, and they didn't give up, and they were ready to set off again and run farther away. As a result, I saw Daji's group.

To be honest, there are really a lot of people, all the way down, to Yuyang City, the number of people has exceeded 100,000! Even if Jin Ren is a little stunned, unless 30,000 is there, if 3,000 is there, it is better to be stable.

So he immediately sent someone back to report it, and the others stayed here to wait and see what happened.

It just so happened that one of the generals in this golden army had sent an envoy to the big beam, and after looking at it from a distance, he immediately came to a conclusion.

"There is no doubt that it is the rebels of the Great Liang!"

There is a lot of evidence for that. First of all, the most eye-catching is the men and horses of the right guard of Licheng, these people are uniformly dressed and well-armed, but there is no banner of any girders. Outside of them, at a glance, they knew that they were composed of ordinary people, and the most eye-catching was the thousands of bandits in Jingzhou, with blades, but they were relatively tattered and had a bit of banditry.

Then the answer is already obvious, it is a chaotic army composed of the regular army of Daliang and ordinary people.

"Hearing about the war in Qingzhou, these people are afraid that they will avoid it and go north to seek a place to live, it seems that they are preparing to attack Yuyang." That's what Jin Ren ultimately guessed.

When the Jin generals heard it, it was a good thing. You can win over support, isn't that what Silla did? So he ordered someone to negotiate in the past, if it was possible, under the alliance of the two parties, with the help of this group of cannon fodder, Yuyang City was still afraid that he would not be able to take it? Won't we be able to plunder? Even this will be thought of, when the city is broken, do not seal the knife for three days, and come casually. This is a reward for the warriors under his command.

Daji and the three sisters were also very confused, although the matter was not right and immediately lined up to defend, but they had no bottom in their hearts. The other party is a cavalry, what about his own side? At most, nearly 20,000 people can fight. Under the charge of the cavalry, most of the people will inevitably break and flee, and it will cause a chain reaction.

"What should I do?" Qi Ji panicked.

"How do I know?" Daji is not going well, seeing that this is all under Yuyang City, who would have thought that he would be able to encounter this thing.

The two turned their heads to look at Cai Yue at the same time, Cai Yue spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "Don't look at me, look down, do you see it?" My legs are shaking, too. ”

Burst...... All of a sudden, the three of them were happy.

"Report, someone in front of the army claimed to be a golden envoy and asked to see the three holy women......"

The three sisters glanced at each other, and finally Daji gritted her teeth and said, "No matter, the soldiers will cover the water and cover the earth, and let's see what they plan to do before saying anything else." ”
