"No matter how idiotic the robbers are, they won't hide in a place like Greedy Wolf Mountain. Yan San said, and used a sharp stone to briefly draw a topographical map of Yanjing within a hundred miles of the ground, which Yan San peeked at from Hu Yuhu's military map.

Yan San said while rowing: "Look, this is Yanjing, ten miles southwest of Yanjing is the ferry, and here is the big bend of the Lupol River. If you go up the river, you will go to the side of the Greedy Wolf Mountain, and if you go down the river, you will go east, and you will pass through the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Hu Lie looked at Yan San's map and nodded as he listened.

"Look at it, going up the river, if you take the waterway, the speed will definitely be very slow, the robbers can't be stupid enough to still take the waterway, in this way, they will soon be caught up by the pursuers, they can't climb the greedy wolf mountain, they can rob the welcoming team, their team must be very large, we have all been to the official road of the greedy wolf mountain, you have also seen, that kind of quiet cottage village, there are so many people and horses passing by, no one will know? This is impossible, so it is impossible for them to go up the river. Yan San said.

When Hu Lie heard Yan San say this, he couldn't help but feel that it made sense and nodded.

"Besides, going down the river, I don't think it's possible, I have seen it on Hu Yuhu's military map, down the river, you must pass through the Jiangnan water town, which is marked as the territory of the Fatt family. Yan San said.

Hu Lie nodded and said: "Yes, Jiangnan is the territory of the Fat family, the Fat family in Jiangnan, the Wang family in Jiangzuo, the Luo family in Yanbei, and the Gurion family in Kyoto, which are the four major families of our Hanba Empire, dukes and nobles, and have a large territory of fiefs. ”

As for the power of the empire, Hu Lie has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he knows more than Yan San.

Yan San nodded and said: "That's right, Princess Manxue was robbed for such a big event, if the robbers were down the river, Yanjing would definitely have already sent a book to the Fat's family in Jiangnan, and the Fat's family would definitely block the river, block the road, and set up checkpoints." When there are pursuers in the rear and a blockade in front, will the robbers take the road down the river? They have no way back and no way out, and they are afraid that they will not be able to fly with their wings. ”

When Yan San said this, Hu Lie couldn't help but feel that it made sense, and couldn't help but nod in approval.

"Besides, crossing the river and going to the southeast, it is even more impossible, there are relatively few towns and cities within a hundred miles of Yanjing, and there are defensive troops stationed a hundred miles away, so it is undoubtedly a conspicuous target for them to escape from such a large team on this official road with few cars and horses. Besides, from the hijacking to the discovery, it is impossible for them to escape from a hundred miles away in such a short period of time, so after the incident, the Yanjing side must have passed the news to the Gyeonggi Army stationed a hundred miles away, and there must be many checkpoints in front, and it is impossible for them to escape. Yan San said as he stroked the map.

"So, where are the robbers hiding?"

"In this area!" Yan San said, drawing a circle across the map.

Hu Lie looked at the map, stunned for a moment, couldn't believe it, and said, "Big brother, you, you mean that the robbers are hiding at the foot of the Imperial City Root?"

"Yes, it is impossible for the robbers to escape too far in such a short time, they will definitely hide within ten miles outside Yanjing, and only by hiding from the ferry to this area will it take the shortest time, and it will be the least easy to be discovered. The most dangerous place is the safest place. When I look at Hu Yuhu's map, there are hundreds of large and small towns in the ten miles outside Yanjing alone, and there are even more large villages than can be counted. It can be said that there are streets and towns everywhere in the ten miles outside Yanjing, and the towns attached to Yanjing can be said to extend in all directions, and there are countless business trips in and out of Yanjing and nearby towns every day! If they immediately disguise themselves as caravans and hide after robbing the family caravan, it will certainly be much easier. Yan San said.

"But, but, there are so many towns and cities around here, and they are densely populated, so it will be difficult to find a caravan or convoy. Hu Lie hesitated for a moment and said.

"Hey, hey, I'm going to ask you about this. Yan San said.

"Ask, ask me, I, how do I know?" said Hu Lie, who was stunned.

Yan San shrugged his shoulders and said: "It is impossible for them to live in the inn, this is too dangerous, if such a big thing happens, the empire will definitely search the inn and even the houses of the residents, it is impossible for them to hide in the city, guess, they will have at least two hundred people, plus the hostages, the number of people is too many, whether it is an inn or a resident's house, therefore, they must find one at the foot of the imperial city, and it is relatively remote, unnoticeable, and very easy to hide. Hide in places that are very easy to defend, and when the time comes, you can sneak away. ”

Speaking of this, Yan San looked at Hu Lie and said, "You were born and raised in Yanjing, you should be familiar with the surroundings, think about it, is there such a place." ”

Hu Lie couldn't help but ponder when Yan San asked like this, and after a while, Hu Lie's eyes lit up and said, "I know there is a place. As he spoke, he pointed to the map and said, "Here." It is five miles north of Yanjing, near Fengyangzhuang, and there is a mining valley. ”

As he spoke, he drew a circle on the map and said: "This mine valley used to be opened by the soldiers, and the ore was abandoned after the ore was opened a few years ago, but the mine valley is very large, and there are many mine holes, which are easy to hide. Because it has only been abandoned for a few years, the houses built by the workers in the former mine valley are still there, and I have visited them several times. The next toyo village used to be a small village built by miners, but later the mine valley was abandoned, and everyone on the village was evacuated. ”

Speaking of this, Hu Lie said excitedly: "The area of Fengyangzhuang is the junction of Yanjing and Shangbing's territory, and it belongs to the area of Sanzhi, and basically few people go there. I heard that His Majesty specially allowed the soldiers to mine ore in the Fengyangzhuang Mine Valley. ”

"Shangbingjia?" Yan Sanyi was stunned, thinking of the big beauty he had met.

Hu Lie knew that Yan San was an outsider and didn't know about Yanjing's power, so he hurriedly said: "The Shangbing family is also the big family of our Hanba Empire, they are famous for refining weapons, and they are specially designed for the dynasty to refine weapons, and ninety percent of the weapons of the Tianwu Dynasty are all created by the Shangbing family. The Shangbing family has a long history, and has existed since the founding of the Tianwu Dynasty, and it is precisely because of the help of a smelting family like the Shangbing family that the armed forces of our Hanba Empire will be stronger than the Hulunbuir Prairie, Qifeng Country, and Shengguang Country, so it is extremely rare for the Shangbing family to have a fief with extremely rich minerals in Baili outside Yanjing. Although the Shangbing family is not as powerful as the four major families, they are loyal to the Tianwu Dynasty, which makes the emperors of the Tianwu Dynasty extremely trusted. ”

Of course, Hu Lie's knowledge was taught to him by his father, and his father hoped that Hu Lie would become a general one day, so he not only passed on his combat skills, but also analyzed a lot of the power of the Hanba Empire.

"On the soldiers, on the snow. Yan San touched his chin and thought of the Shangbing Xue and Shangbing Lie he had seen in Huamanlou.

"That's right, Shang Bing Lie is the head of the Shang Bing family, and he is also a rare powerhouse in the Linglan Continent, and he is listed among the twelve heroes of the mainland. Shangbing Xue is a well-known beauty in Yanjing and a student from Hanshan Academy. Hu Lie talked eloquently, and when it came to things he was familiar with, Hu Lie was not dumbfounded.

Hu Lie is only very introverted to strangers or things that he is not familiar with, and with Yan San, he does not talk very much.

Yan San couldn't help but think of Shang Bingxue's hurried search for Shang Binglie, so to speak, when the news of the robbery of the welcoming team had not yet spread, Shang Bing's family got the inside information, and it was precisely because of this that Shang Bingxue hurriedly went to find his father Shang Bing Lie.

It can be inferred from the fact that Shang Bingxue found Shang Bing Lie, this matter could not have been done by Shang Bing's family, if it was Shang Bing's family, Shang Bing Xue would not have hurried to Huamanlou to find Shang Bing Lie.

"Hey, hey, if I were a robber, I would definitely choose this place, not just to hide. Moreover, if I, a robber, have anything to do with some of the big officials of the dynasty, something really happens at that time, and maybe I may even push it on the soldiers and find a substitute for the dead. Yan San touched his chin, his eyes flashing.
