The army of the Yin Dynasty was divided into three armies: Tiger Might, Tiger Spirit, and Tiger Courage, of which the Tiger Soul Army belonged to the internal guard, and the rest were external defense.

As for the names of the Huilong Army and the Town Navy, they belong to the number, not the name. According to the division, the Huilong Army and the Zhenjun Navy belong to the same sect, and they are both branches of the Huwei Army.

This is the reason why the Huilong Army hates the Zhenhai Navy to the core, everyone is of the same clan and the same lineage, you don't save you when you see death, and I'm sorry for myself if you don't fight!

The reason why it is said that the generation of Fengzhou and Yuzhen is very dangerous is because of these 50,000 tiger mighty troops! Although they are erecting the banner of the Yin army, what they are doing is the business of bandits!

The area of Fengzhou and Yuzhen belongs to the northeast of the Central Plains, the 'spring' and summer are shorter, the autumn and winter are longer, the weather is cold and frozen, and it is not suitable for the growth of too many crops, whether it is grain or vegetables, they are relatively single and scarce.

In fact, if it weren't for the shelter of the Ice Knife Mountain, the Knife City area would also have that climate, but everything has pros and cons, the Ice Knife Mountain hindered the 'communication' between the Central Plains and Mobei, leaving only a small Lanya Pass to enter and exit, but it also formed a natural barrier between the two countries, and blocked most of the cold air currents blowing from the polar regions!

However, for Fengzhou and Yuzhen, there is no such good thing, they bear the cold weather, so the population is not large, the economy is not good, and the 'transportation' is inconvenient, the supply of the imperial court is difficult to come, and there is not much to be levied locally, so they simply occupy the mountain as the king, wear the clothes of the Yin army, and become bandits!

The maritime trade in the Dongshui area attracted a lot of merchants, and only these cities near the Dongshui could not satisfy the huge appetite of those small countries, and they did not dare to blatantly ban the sea in Lei City, which would be tantamount to directly provoking the Yin Dynasty in the Central Plains, so the merchants raised goods from all over the Central Plains and brought them to the Dongshui.

This is also a means for the town navy to make money, they also know that they can't maintain maritime trade with their own side, so they don't stop these merchants, but protect them, of course, this is not an obligation, they are not so kind, they 'pump' a lot of taxes in the hands of these merchants!

As a result, from the Panlong River to the Dongshui, a secret trade channel was formed, every three or four months, there were caravans passing from here, going straight to the Dongshui, coming back in about a month, and bringing back some of the goods of the Bird Country or the Big 'Bang' Country, returning to the Panlong River, and then scattering the whole country!

This Huwei army is stationed on this trade route, in peacetime, they are a group of soldiers wearing the national flag of the Yin Dynasty and wearing the uniforms of the Yin army, and when the caravan comes, they will put down the flagpole, take off the military uniform, pick up the butcher's knife, and act as a robber who occupies the mountain as the king!

In fact, they are also inextricably linked to the town navy, and they can be regarded as a school camp of the town navy. [Dancing e-book] was originally arranged here to prevent the big 'stick' country from entering the Central Plains from the Fengyu River, and later Yinhu ordered people to blow up the Fengyu Bridge with thunder, which can be regarded as completely cutting off the passage between the two countries!

However, this Huwei army did not go back, because they found that it was more cost-effective to stay here than to return to Dongshui, which controlled the trade route to Dongshui, and there was a steady stream of merchants passing through here every year, compared to the military rations of the imperial court and the military taxes levied, this was the most profitable way!

And the town navy doesn't want them to go back, one more person will have to get an extra share, and they are willing to be self-reliant, which is even more demanding! Anyway, it's not a lot of people, so it won't cause the army to mutiny!

This is the danger that Xuanbao people will experience if they want to return to Jiangnan, although they are not merchants, but the other party is a robber. Robbers and robbers don't need to look at people's identities, the so-called goose plucking 'hair', is to describe their gang of people, if you want to pass through here safely, it's really not easy!

However, compared to taking another road, it is very safe here, through this place, you will travel unimpeded, and then you can turn to Yuezhou, cross the river to Longnan Town, and then from Longnan to Xuanying, it is only a matter of a day or two!

Lunch was very simple, no one had a big corn cake! Ning Wujin boiled a pot of salted water, then threw a few long strips of cloth into it, boiled it again and again, and boiled it for an hour and a half, and boiled the original light linen cloth as heavy as an iron block, and then took it out with satisfaction, and then ordered a few soldiers to tie it around their waists.

All the pots and pans were loaded into the cart, but there was not much food with them, and the rations were only corn cakes, mixed with wild vegetables and elm leaves.

That's it, it's still pulled out of the mouth of the army, after all, just occupied the knife city, even if you want to recuperate, you have to let yourself and the people have a buffer time, now there are these corn cakes with vegetable leaves to eat is already a very good food, when outside the ice cliff city and the knife city, the soldiers even eat Guanyin soil, all the living creatures crawling on the ground will not let go, and the bark has been stripped by them!

Everything was ready, it was almost time, and everyone was ready to go. This road is plain and hilly, not flat, there are more small hills, but there are not too many high mountains, so the carriage is a good means of transportation.

A hundred 'guards' is indeed very few, but if it is really a fight with Qiu Sheng's gang of bandits, even if it is ten times more, it is useless, these hundred people are just to open the way and deal with wild beasts, if there is danger, the fewer people, the easier it is to avoid!

Not to mention Xuan Bao and Xiao Yin, even if it is the 'Yin' Snake King and the Four Envoys of the Polar Regions, it is not something that ordinary people can deal with, if they really provoke them, Qiu Sheng and his 10,000 brothers are estimated to not be enough for the five of them to kill!

When the time for departure came, the camp was full of people who saw them off, in addition to Ning Jiujin's group of generals, the prefect Wu Shouzhi was also in the team.

According to Ning Pengcheng's investigation, although Wu Shouzhi is the prefect of Daocheng, he has been suppressed by Li Shanmeng, he once proposed to open the city to release grain and relieve the Huilong army, but he was scolded by Li Shanmeng in front of the five thousand city defense soldiers, and he was very faceless, and he was afraid of Li Shanmeng's back and scenery, so he had to stop talking.

And although this person has no great merit to the people, he has no great fault, he will not do what he should do, and he will not touch what he should not do, so Xuanbao suggested to Ning Jiujin that the prefect of this Dao City is still appointed by Wu Shouzhi, and this person has no notoriety in the voice of the people!

Emperor Zun's suggestion Ning Jiujin dared not listen, so he reappointed Wu Shouzhi as the prefect of Daocheng, and he personally sent his deputies and subordinates, but there is one thing, it is necessary to know people well!

Wu Shouzhi's mediocre strategy has finally paid off, and now without Li Shanmeng's suppression, he can finally raise his eyebrows in Sword City!

Knowing that he had been retained by the Emperor himself, Wu Shouzhi was also grateful to Xuanbao! He was a genuine literati, well-read, and had his own strategy in his heart.

The so-called moderation is nothing more than a strategy for him to escape from the world. He had already seen that the Huilong Army would not be extinct, because the willpower of the army that could lead 100,000 people over the Ice Knife Mountain was absolutely unattainable!

The stupid approach of the town navy will only bring them ruin, it's not that they don't report it, it's just that the time has not come!

And he doesn't want to be a mediocre prefect, he is only in his thirties, he is still very young, if he wants to make a breakthrough in his career, he must seize the opportunity!

The battle of Xuan Yin is his time! His future is not in Yin Hu, but in Xuan Bao! Now the more moderate he behaves, the more he can fall into a good reputation in front of Xuan Bao!

Even if Yinhu sends troops to fight Mobei this time, he will not be able to take the throne for long, and the Xuan army has already occupied half of the Central Plains after controlling Jiangnan.

People can't win when they're weak, but now they're big and want to annihilate, that's a dream!

What's more, this time the Heran people entered the customs, and what Yin Hu did broke the hearts of the people of the Central Plains, if he didn't step down, it would be simply unreasonable!

It's just that he didn't expect that good luck would come so soon, and Xuanzun would be in the Huilong military camp, which was simply an opportunity sent down by God himself!

However, Wu Shouzhi is not stupid, he knows that if he recklessly loses what to show to Xuanzun, it will only backfire and arouse Xuanzun's vigilance, and now what he needs to do is to cooperate with General Huilong to develop agriculture, so that the people can all actively farm and grow grain!

Looking at Wu Shouzhi's sincere and frightened appearance, Xuan Bao smiled slightly, walked up to him and said, "Lord Wu, the sword city will be 'handed over' to you!"

Unexpectedly, Xuanzun actually remembered his name, Wu Shouzhi was surprised and delighted in his heart, first looked at Xuanbao deeply, then knelt down, respectfully kowtowed three heads, and said in his mouth: "The minister will die without reluctance, bow to the best!"

This is the highest etiquette of a literati, Xuan Bao smiled and stepped forward to help him up, nodded and said: "Lord Wu is polite! Dao City is a pilot for me, and it is also yours, now without the restraint of the town navy, what will become of Dao City depends on Lord Wu's ability! I have already told the general, as long as Lord Wu is in need, the Huilong Army will fully cooperate, I hope that Lord Wu will not let Xuan Bao down!"

This sentence made Wu Shouzhi's face turn white, it turned out that his little careful thinking had already been seen through by Lord Xuanzun! Wouldn't this leave an impression of implicit scheming on Lord Xuanzun?

But listening to the meaning of Lord Xuanzun's words, it seems that he didn't blame him, and he still valued him very much, what is going on? What's even more strange is how Lord Xuanzun knows what he is thinking in his heart?

Seeing the shocked look on Wu Shouzhi's face, Xuan Bao smiled slightly, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Li Shanmeng has been stationed in Dao City for five years, and the prefect has changed seven, only Lord Wu has been in office for three years, if you want to say that you are just a stupid person who is like a cloud, Xuan Bao will not believe it!

At this time, Wu Shouzhi was really convinced by Xuanbao, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The minister will not live up to the expectations of the emperor!

Xuan Bao shook his head, laughed and said, "It's too early to say this! I'll look for you again, and I'll see if you fail me then!"

Outside the carriage, Ning Pengcheng faced Ning Xian'er, with one sentence of advice, but his eyes looked at Hong Mei next to him.

Hong Mei stood in front of Hong Sheng, who also looked lost and depressed, looking at Ning Xian'er stupidly. Hong Mei said angrily: "Brother, what are you giving me the map for, should I take this thing to Jiangnan?" absent-minded, don't tell me, tell Sister Xian'er!"

Pushed by his sister, Hong Sheng stood in front of Ning Xian'er, his face was red and dripping blood, and he finally roared: "Take care all the way!"
