Chapter 57: Concise and Southbound
Zhao Di had already sent several sentry points to probe out of the pass, and at this time, he called a few more scouts to come in, unfolded the map and showed them over and over again, and asked, "Remember?" ”
Scouts have a talent for remembering geographical locations, and after several people repeatedly went through the map in their minds, they nodded, "Remember!" ”
"Okay, focus on these two locations." Zhao Di pointed out two corners where he thought Nai'er would hide without spending the 10,000 army, one in Huapiling and the other in the wolf's den. Both places are very close to the pass, and there are mountains to the north, but this is only known by looking at the map.
If there is no map, who knows where is the wolf's nest ditch and where is the flower peel ridge. The Ming Dynasty did not have a map of Kanyu outside the Guan, but there was only a very general and rough map of the places that the army had experienced.
Now, the kind in Zhao Di's hand is like picking up a treasure.
Coming out of Zhao Di's tent, although it was still white-haired, several scouts were very excited, and the iron armor didn't feel cold on their bodies, but their blood was boiling, and they took out the horses from the stables one by one, turned over and got on the horses, and when they arrived at the pass to separate, they made a bet with each other, "See who completes the task first, and if you lose, you should invite everyone to drink!" ”
"No problem, it's not going to be me who loses anyway!"
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, full of confidence, and rushed into the grassland desert that was once like death to them, once they entered, they would not be able to find the north, and they had to carefully leave long-term recognizable traces every step of the way.
Zhao Er slept for less than two hours, he was worried about things, and although he didn't want to wake up, he forced himself to open his eyes.
Zhao Di was waiting for him in the tent. When Zhao Er came in, Zhao Di was still studying the Kanyu map, and he relied on what he had already mastered to distinguish the terrain outside the Guan, how true was this Kanyu map, in fact, he didn't doubt it when he saw this Kanyu map; Second, he should also try to remember this map completely, an excellent military strategist, with the big rivers, mountains and rivers and the world in his heart.
"Good work!"
Zhao Di carefully folded the red paper, put it in his sleeve pocket, and leaned over to help Zhao Er up, "How is Lingqiu?" Did the Jian family get up? ”
Zhao Yi and Zhao Er are two brothers, their names are Yao and Yuan, they have been by Zhao Di's side since they were children, their bones are amazing, and their skills are extraordinary.
Zhao Er saw that Zhao Di didn't ask who drew this Kanyu map, and he was very skillful when he answered, "The subordinates got the Kanyu map two days ago, and as soon as Jian Qizuo handed it over to his subordinates, his subordinates rode over overnight." The Jian family was scheduled to leave early the next morning, Jian Qizuo went to the south, and her parents and brothers went to the north. ”
Sure enough, it was painted by Jian Qing, Zhao Di was suspicious, how could she know the terrain and mountains so well?
Zhao Di was a little jealous, "Do you know, how can Jian Yanzuo draw such a nuanced map?" ”
Zhao Er thought to himself, the master was really suspicious, "The subordinates don't know, the subordinates got the Kanyu map, and they thought about sending it to the prince quickly." Jian Chengzuo himself also said that this is a map outside the plug, to repay the prince for his care this time, if there is no His Royal Highness, Jian Chengzuo may be difficult to get out. ”
Zhao Di doesn't care about anything he cares about, for him, many things to do are just a sentence and a matter of raising his hand. If he remembers this kindness every day, how thick will he have to remember it?
"That being the case, you will return early tomorrow morning, catch up with Jian Qizuo, and follow her."
This is to oversee the meaning of conciseness. Although Zhao Er felt a little sorry for Jian Qing, he thought that the little man had many ups and downs on the way to the south, and if he could follow, he could also save her life. Thinking about it this way, Zhao Er was a little looking forward to being able to rush over and have a round with Jian Qing soon.
"You leave early tomorrow morning!"
After Zhao Di finished instructing Zhao Er, he issued an order to cook on the fourth watch and set off on the fifth watch the next day.
The next day, Zhao Er went south, and Zhao Di led the army to the north. Zhao Neng and Zhang Yu are a little confused, they have already sent scouts out to sentry into the news, and they have not found the whereabouts of the 10,000 enemy troops led by Naer Buhua.
However, Zhao Di has his own plans, and for Zhao Di, now that he has this map, he will not be a headless fly on the grassland with his army. If he had been waiting for the scout in the pass, it would have been a waste of time, and if he had advanced with a large army, the distance between him and the scout would be shortened, and he would be able to return as soon as the scout had information.
In this way, time is also saved.
Early in the morning, before the army set off, he left. Because he was worried that Jian Qing would encounter danger on the road, he took a little less time than when he came, and before he left Lingqiu County, he caught up with Jian Qing and his party.
Jianqing set out from Lingqiu to the capital, to pass through Baoding Mansion, through Dezhou, take Jinan Mansion, and arrive at Jinling.
And Shen Cang took Jianqing's parents and brothers to Wanping County, Wanping is the arch city of Beiping City, and in its south, it also has to go from Baoding Mansion, but when it arrives at Baoding Mansion, Jianqing goes south, and Shen Cang and his party want to go north.
Before he left the city, someone chased after him.
Jian Qing asked the coachman to stop the car, the man came forward, Jian Qing saw that it was Li Gou'er, he was holding Jian Qing's carriage, "Jian Yanzuo, can I follow you to the south?" ”
Li Gou'er was followed by Zheng Dong'er, Dong'er was supporting her grandmother, and the two were panting to rush over here.
Jian Qing was a little puzzled, "You were discussing building a house here two days ago, why are you going to the south again today?" ”
"We were originally from Kaifeng Prefecture, but because the Yellow River burst and our home was flooded, we fled to the north. We can't always wander outside, we have to go home. Li Gou'er smiled shyly, "A few days ago, I gave a little of the one hundred taels of silver given by Jian Chengzuo, and I kept three taels of silver for myself, and with the money in my hand, we can also go home." ”
Is this a simple clarity? Shen Cang was stunned when he heard this, how could there be such a shameless person as Li Gou'er in this world?
Who knows, Jian Qing moved to the side very generously, and agreed, "Okay!" We have a lot of cars, you come up, and when you get to Texas, you can find a way to go back. ”
Jian Qing was even a little happy because he had a group of people as companions.
Shen Cang was a little puzzled, Jian Qian didn't have any silver in his hands, how could he still be so enthusiastic. But he thought that he had no winter clothes to wear here, and Jian Chong gave him money to buy winter clothes, and felt that he seemed to be able to understand the Jian family.
