Chapter 313: Road Encounter

Her words made me finally truly understand what it means to "we don't know what he knows"!

This phenomenon has a fashionable expression called "information asymmetry" in modern times, and many times there are various gaps between people, and it seems that they are in their own strengths or weaknesses. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I finally understood Yingzheng's intention of letting Meng Jiang take his followers, because he probably knew very well that even if Meng Jiang didn't take me there, as long as I learned the news of the war in Longxi, I would definitely go, and if I chose to fly solo, not only would it not play a positive role, but it might bring great risks to Meng Jiang's mission!

Therefore, his later arrangement actually combined the two of "use" and "prevention", and only through a few words of understatement, this purpose has been successfully achieved!

For he probably already knew very well that even if I knew his intentions, I would have done what he wanted, for the very simple reason of being a brother.

Ying Zheng ...... I have to say that the terrible thing about a true king is not how many troops he has, nor does it lie in the supreme power to kill tens of millions of people in a fit of anger, but in his insight and control over people, so that even if he is just alone in the fighting room, he can still feel awe-inspiring!

It wasn't time to talk about anything at the moment, so I hurriedly said, "I'll be right away!" "I also trotted all the way to find Sang Qing, and to put things simply, she had already understood, and we quickly went straight to the exit of the camp and met Meng Jiang who was waiting there.

As for why they didn't inform Pu Weng, Qin Qi, and Ru Ji, I can also imagine the reason, of course, the time constraint is one thing, but the more important thing is that the three of them are currently doing very important work that cannot be replaced by others! No matter what other things are going on, there is no way to let go of them for the time being, and the less unnecessary interference you will receive, the better.

Looking at Ying Zheng's calm and relaxed appearance, I am afraid that he has already calculated this war, and it is not necessarily a big crisis for him, take down the leader of the other party or something, and send the three of us to go, it is good to be able to succeed, and it will not have any major impact on him if it can't be done. However, the project of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in front of us is urgent, and it can be called the top priority.

The three of us left the camp of Lishanling and rode all the way to the west.

Before leaving, Meng Jiang took out a map and showed it to us, our current location is east of Xianyang, and the location of the conflict with Hecher mentioned in this battle report is in Longxi County, which is in the west of Neishi County, where Xianyang is located, and the place where the county guard is located is called Didao County. Further west of Longxi, there is the land of Daqin, which is occupied by several tribes in turn at this time, among which the most famous and powerful are none other than the Yue clan and Donghu.

As for the Hecher, who was in this uprising, he seemed to be more maverick, and no one knew for sure whether they belonged to the branch of the Yue clan or Donghu, and they did not seem to have a fixed territory, the Heavenly Father and the Earth Mother, invading everywhere, not so much a tribe, but a bit like a bandit.

Even so, as early as when the Qin State had not unified Middle-earth, the western frontier had already built very complete fortifications, but there were not many tribes who dared to openly challenge the strong Qin.

When we went out of the camp, we chose very strong military horses, but even if we did, it was unlikely that we would have been able to get there within the day. The reason is that there is a strong barrier in the middle of this road, Longshan, which is basically the southern section of Liupan Mountain, and the reason why Longxi is called Longxi is that it is located in the west of Longshan.

In fact, Sang Qing and I initially thought that we wanted to climb the mountain overnight, but Meng Jiang pointed out that the information given in the battle report is not particularly complete, and we don't even know exactly where the battle took place, the situation of the other party, and what is the situation on our side, let alone where Yue Bi is now, and whether he has been involved in this matter.

And these circumstances will determine our next plan. Although I didn't say it explicitly, I think we all have a consensus in our hearts that this trip should not only ensure that the Yue Bi is safe, but also try our best to fulfill the emperor's order!

Therefore, the best plan we discussed is to rush to find a place to settle near Longshan before tonight, go directly over the mountain early tomorrow morning, and rush to Didao County in one breath to find out the news first, and then make the next step.

Even so, the road was quite hurried, we could not rest, but the horses needed to rest and feed, so at such a moment, I deliberately searched around, and saw that there was that kind of rough and tall man, and at first glance it was the kind of Northwest style, so I hurried up to talk a few words, and wanted to inquire about some situation.

It's a pity that I chatted all the way, but I didn't hear too many rumors about the battle in Longxi. Although it had been several years since the unification of the six kingdoms, the small-scale rebellions and conflicts with some of the original local forces had never stopped, and everyone may have been surprised, but people like me, who came from the era of peace, were inexplicably surprised that they could look at such things so calmly.

Finally, just as the sun was setting, we arrived at a small town called Viet Ninh.

This is the only way to go through Longshan to Longxi, there are quite a lot of merchants coming and going, after dinner, Meng Jiang and Sang Qing plan to repair it, and I have nothing to do and sit in a corner of the inn hall, observing the lively crowd, looking for someone who can give me inspiration.

It didn't take long for me to find a target, an uncle who looked to be in his early forties, who looked like a member of some caravan, who at first sat with a group of men dressed similarly to him, but then stepped aside, took a leather, wiped a metal object in his hand, and from time to time glanced up at his chatty companions, and laughed a few times, but was visibly absent-minded.

The reason why he was chosen is not only because he looks like a veteran walking in the mountains, and he must be very familiar with the boundary of Longxi, but also a very important point is that from his performance, I think he should belong to the kind of person who knows very well in his heart.

When a group of people get together, the smartest person is often not the one who talks the most, but the one who is relatively silent, but can quietly adjust the atmosphere to the right rhythm at critical moments. Such a person is independent but not withdrawn, gregarious but not blindly obedient, knows exactly what he wants, and knows where to get it, and can get the most valuable information from everyone, so that he knows it in his heart. Of course, you can also know more about making friends with such people.

At this moment, the shopkeeper also walked to him to help him refill the tea, so I followed him quietly, and sat down in the vacant place next to him very naturally, deliberately not looking at him, but looking at his companions, and hearing that they seemed to be discussing a certain beautiful girl that someone had met on the road, and they were chatting, and no one paid attention to me at all.

But the uncle next to me seemed to notice me. In the afterglow, he could be seen turning his head to look at me frequently, and finally, about three minutes after I sat down, he said in a rough voice: "Housheng, see that you are not a local, where is your hometown?" (To be continued.) )
