Chapter 2 Three turns around the city
It was quiet along the way.
Horses' hooves trampled on the thin snow, and the smell of the earth.
The talisman was in Li Fengliang's arms, scorching like the warmest furnace in winter.
He didn't know what kind of army the Demon Sect would send to deal with his rebels.
But he knew it would have to be an extremely difficult battle.
Along the way, a large part of the people of the cities they took were happy to see him.
Whenever he arrived at a city, he was greeted with a corresponding cheer and reception.
He was like a god in the hearts of these people.
In fact, he just felt very stunned, like a dream.
When he left from the Celestial Empire, he did so on his own, with his soldiers and his mother, and he left in a hurry, because he didn't want to be sent.
But when one day he had to come back, he changed his identity and stood on a higher height.
One of the things that made him feel relieved was that the people seemed to be happy to see the rebels.
This is inseparable from Zhou Tu's death in front of Ma Wei Pass, blocking the attack of the Twelve Roads Domain King.
......
......
By the time he arrived in Xuanwu City, it was already the third day.
He could have arrived sooner and faster.
But he didn't.
The horse's hooves can't walk fast in the snow, so he simply doesn't ask for how fast.
The biggest force in Xuanwu City is now the Luo family.
Luojiafang is the largest fang market in the city.
There are all kinds of businesses and all kinds of people.
But most importantly, there's a fascinating legend here.
In the middle of this square street, there is a stone, the reason why it is magical is because it is a stone that has been halved.
The fractures of the stone are smooth like mirrors, and I don't know who cut them in what way.
But only those who know the history of the city will know:
Half a year ago, the Luo family and the Li family fought for the entrance of the silk hall, and I heard that they all alarmed the government of Xuanwu City, and no one knew who won the conflict, but since then, there has been no more Li Jiatangkou in this Xuanwu City.
I heard that the Li family invited a casual cultivator that day, and smashed the hall of the Luo family.
But then two immortals appeared and saved the Luo family's hall.
No one saw what the two immortals looked like, and no one knew where they came from.
But after they left, such a peculiar stone was left behind.
This stone was named the Sword Test Stone by Old Man Luo, and it is like a mascot, existing in Xuanwu City, guarding the huge Fang City of the Luo family.
......
The rebel army's attack on Xuanwu City was bloodless.
Because the county commander who guarded the city was like a frightened bird.
He didn't have Li Fengliang's bearing and demeanor, and he didn't even wait for the holy decree of the Celestial Empire to come down, so he left Xuanwu City with his family and servants.
The people of the city were glad that they were finally free from the suffering of war.
So when Li Fengliang's army came to this city, they were very excited.
They all wanted to see the legendary general who guarded Ma Wei Pass, or because of Li Fengliang's appearance, maybe it would be accompanied by the legendary fallen emperor, and they didn't realize that the Celestial Empire was likely to launch a counterattack immediately, because in their consciousness, everything was very fresh.
Li Fengliang is here.
His horse tread the solid snow that had frozen in the middle of winter.
The eyes are like the sharpest sword in the world.
In his eyes, the entire Xuanwu City was like a huge wall of ice, which was insurmountable.
He did not rush into the city, but walked around the city.
Xuanwu City is not big, but it is definitely not small.
He rode around the city on horseback, and walked very slowly, so it took them about two hours to walk around.
He went around twice, so that's four hours.
The soldiers who followed him were a little puzzled, and said in their hearts what was this general of his own doing?
......
In the city, Old Man Luo stood on the city tower.
As the most powerful person in the city, he was naturally qualified to come to every place here, because most of the funds for the defense of Xuanwu City came from him.
He looked at Li Fengliang's army wandering around the city, and nodded with interest.
A sergeant next to him asked, puzzled, "What is he doing?"
Old Man Luo replied lightly, "Investigate the terrain." ”
"Surveying the terrain?"
The sergeant was stunned, a little puzzled.
Old man Luo said, "Warfare pays attention to the right time, place and people, but many people only see the time and people when they fight, but they don't know that sometimes the right place is also a huge capital for winning battles." ”
The sergeant stared and saw that he could see nothing but the mountains in the distance and the vast expanse of snow.
Old Man Luo smiled, "If you can see it, you will also become a general." ”
He looked at the vast white snow again and said in admiration, "For a general, the first thing he does when he goes to a place is not to enjoy the honor he deserves, but to watch his future combat field first. ”
The sergeant then asked, "Who is it?"
Old Man Luo replied, "The founding emperor of the Great Zhou. ”
......
......
The sergeants were confused.
They really didn't know that Li Fengliang was inspecting the terrain.
Each city has its own unique place.
For example, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, or easy to attack and difficult to defend.
But as a Xuanwu City, it does not possess either of these characteristics.
It is a city, standing in the midst of heaven and earth, incomparably lonely.
But it is precisely because of this that Li Fengliang discovered a unique place about this city.
——
There is a lot of open space around the city, so there is a lot of room to play.
He raised his gaze, as if he was measuring it with his gaze.
He lowered his head from time to time, then opened a map in his arms and looked at it, and then dipped his finger in saliva and crossed it one horizontal line after another.
......
Many soldiers in the army couldn't help but yawn, because they all thought that Li Fengliang was doing this too much.
Never before has a general done so much preparation before going to war.
In other words, this is also Li Fengliang's uniqueness.
He can do things that no one else can't.
He is extremely conscientious, and naturally he is also extremely responsible, and because he is defending the city, he has a lot of experience in defending the city.
When the third circle of the army turned to the main gate of the city gate, Li Fengliang stopped his horse.
A small colonel said nervously, "I'll go inform the sergeant......"
Li Fengliang waved his hand gently.
He said confidently, "No need to turn around the fourth round, let's go into the city." ”
......
