On the first day of October in the fourth year of Tianfu, the tribute of Jingxiang Jingnan and Nanyang Kingdom totaled 300,000 stones, and 100,000 people went to Wuguan and entered Chang'an, the capital through Shangluo.

Along the way, the cars and horses were sparkling, and the people were all strong men.

The four musket regiments were disguised as ordinary grain guards, and the two hundred minecarts were also disguised as grain trucks, and the minecart soldiers became civilians and horsemen.

Fang Liang's sentry battalion rode more than ten miles in front of the team to investigate the road conditions and military situation, followed by a thousand infantry to open the way, and the grain carriage followed closely behind.

There were 1,000 guards on the left and right sides of the convoy.

The rear of the convoy was followed by 2,000 soldiers.

Of course, the thunder car was placed in the team.

The team set off from Nanyang, all the way to the west, took five days to cross the entire Nanyang Basin, crossed the turbulent water and took another three days, along the Jushui north, two days later, the team rested outside Jutan County.

After a day's rest, the team set off and arrived in Neixiang County two days later.

It still took two days to cross the water.

On October 15, the procession went all the way to the west, the terrain was getting higher and higher, the road was much bumpy, and there were still 250 miles of mountain road to Wuguan.

The reason why this road is difficult to walk is because it is necessary to cross the Qinling Mountains, but fortunately, this road is a natural hole road, and it is okay to take a carriage.

Along the way, the cliffs are steep and the ancient trees are towering.

During the day, the sun is occasionally seen at noon.

Walking through the ancient road in the mountains, Li Yu felt infinite emotion in his heart.

Two years ago, I also went to Nanyang from this road, it was the first month of the year, there was snow everywhere, and there were only dead trees and branches in the mountains.

In the Qinling Mountains in October, although the leaves are yellowing, the birds are still singing in the branches, and occasionally wild animals are rushing by the roadside.

"Stop, rest for three quarters and set off."

There was an order from the front, and Li Yu had to obey it.

You must know that the 100,000 army is walking in the deep mountains and old forests, how can it be done without a unified order?

The carriages stopped one after another, and the coachmen began to feed the horses with fodder and drink, while the men took out their dry food and ate two bites, and some people went to the cliff to solve their personal problems.

"It's time, let's go~"

The command came from front to back, and the coachman put away the cloth trough, took the reins of the halter, shouted, and the horses snorted, and pulled the cart with their legs and force, and marched deeper into the mountains.

At night, the carriage stopped at the edge of the cliff, unloaded the horses and bolted them to the inside, and the young men cut down trees on the roadside to use as firewood.

At night, on the mountain road for nearly 100 miles, a little bonfire is lit, like a shining fire dragon, winding and circling among the lofty mountains and mountains of the Qinling Mountains, revealing infinite mystery.

The burst of rice aroma aroused the appetite of the young man, Li Yu also drooled, took the rice from the guards, and covered it with two slices of crystal clear bacon.

After the meal, the soldiers who were on patrol duty at night were arranged, and all the people were wrapped in clothes and trousers and slept on the side of the grain cart, accompanied by the stench of horse excrement next to them.

After seven or eight days of trekking, Li Yu heard the sound of water.

He knew that this must be the Danshui, a great river parallel to the land route.

Although Danshui can be navigated all the way to Shangluo, the river is narrow, the water is turbulent, and it is difficult to move large ships, and it is easy to sink ships.

This time he was transporting grain, and it would be troublesome if it was wet with water, so even if he walked slowly, he didn't dare to take the waterway, because the risk was too great.

On the afternoon of the eighth day, Li Yu's eyes finally opened up, and they climbed the ridge of the Qinling Mountains.

The road down the hill is ahead.

It is said that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and sure enough.

Although it is tiring to go up the mountain, it is dangerous to go down.

The speed of the car is not easy to control, and there are often U-turns on the mountain road, so the speed must be controlled.

The young men had to tie ropes to the back of the car, pull desperately in the back, and the coachman had to control the horse's head desperately, for fear that one would accidentally fall off the cliff next to him.

Li Yu walked in the middle of the team with his guards, and saw with his own eyes the broken trees on the edge of the cliff, and there was a silent neighing of horses from the bottom of the cliff.

In this way, four days passed in fear, and on October 27, an outpost came to report that it had arrived at Wuguan.

When Li Yu arrived at the front team with the guards, it took two hours.

The mighty carriages and horses stopped on the side of the road, and in front of them was Wuguan.

It is flanked by cliffs, and in the middle is an open field, full of grain trucks.

Gao Shizheng and the generals handed over the customs clearance procedures.

Wuguan is the main road in and out of Chang'an in the south, and it is stuck on the Qinling Confucius, so it can be said that one man is not open.

Wuguan is Shangguan and is equipped with a complete official system.

Zhaoxin Jie Du made Feng Xing attack, in charge of Jin, Shang, and Jun, and Guan Ling assigned him.

Feng Xing attacked many times to defeat the attacks of Li Maozhen and Yang Shouliang, and kept the southward passage of the imperial court, so he was promoted from a defensive envoy to a jiedu envoy.

Li Yu came to close the door, and Gao Shi hurriedly introduced.

Guan Ling saw that King De was coming in person, and immediately became polite.

"Guan Ling is hard, and it takes great perseverance and perseverance to be on duty in such a remote Guan City, and Guan Ling should be promoted."

"His Royal Highness praised it falsely, and the minister didn't dare to be it."

"What do you call Guan Ling?"

"Chen Feng Xuan."

"Feng Guanling, but Feng Jieshuai's family?"

The Feng Jieshuai he said was the Zhaoxin Jiedu who made Feng Xing attack.

"It's my father."

"Oh, please ask the festival commander for his hard work."

After a long time, this is Feng Xingxi's son.

After inspecting Gao Shi's documents, the gate of Wuguan slowly rose, and the grain trucks and horses slowly passed through this dangerous pass.

There were too many cars and horses, and until the evening, the team in front walked out for more than ten miles, and some of the teams behind were still on the mountain.

That night, Feng Miao hosted a banquet for King De in Wuguan.

Feng Xing was the capital of Junzhou in his early years, and he took advantage of the gap to drive away Lu Ye, occupy Junzhou, and assassinate Junzhou.

Fengxiang Jiedu made Li Maozhen send his son Li Jizhen to occupy Jinzhou, Feng Xing sent troops from Junzhou, conquered Jinzhou, drove Li Jizhen away, and the imperial court appointed Feng Xing as the Zhaoxin defense envoy to govern Jinzhou.

At that time, Yang Shouliang was preparing to attack Chang'an through Jinzhou and Shangzhou, but was attacked by Feng Xing.

The Feng family has occupied the three states of Jinshang Junzhou for many years, and Junzhou is adjacent to Dengzhou across Wudang Mountain, so it can be said that the two families are neighbors.

After guarding the military for thirteen years, the Feng family has watched the chaos in the world for many years, and it is a feudal town that is extremely aware of current affairs, and it is an intermediate force that can be fought for.

At the beginning, Han Quanzhu sent more than 20 eunuchs including Xuan Wenyan to pass through Jinzhou, intending to go to the southeastern towns and order them to attack Zhu Wen.

After staying in Tongzhou Jiedu, Sima Ye sent an envoy to persuade Feng Xingxi, and Feng Xingxi sent his deputy envoy Lu Chongju to Zhu Wen to obey his orders.

When the eunuchs arrived in Jinzhou, Feng Xing attacked them and sent the edict of Han Quanzhi they carried to Zhu Wen.

This is how he understands the times.

In the past few years, he has watched Zhu Wen become more and more powerful, and he has the meaning of representing the Tang Dynasty, and Zhu Wen has asked the emperor to move the capital several times, which is a matter of status for him.

The emperor has not moved the capital, his position as a guard is still there, and he is a powerful minister of the court, if the king of Liang forced the emperor to move the capital, his position is not guaranteed, then it is not too late for him to take refuge.

An incident happened last year that made Feng Xingxing change his mind. King Liang, who was originally invincible in the Central Plains, ran into a wall in Qingzhou.

The situation in the Guannai is now confusing, Li Maozhen and Zhu Wen are still fighting for control of the Guannai, and before there is no result, he has put away his heart of refuge.

At the banquet, Li Yu raised his glass and drank with Feng Miao, talking about the general trend of the world.

Feng Miao just smiled and said nothing, looking at King De who was talking eloquently.

……

The envoy of Zhaoxin Jie had already received an edict from the imperial court, and Jingxiang and Nanyang Guo wanted to pass through Wuguan and transport tribute to Beijing.

Feng Xing called his son Feng Miao to the front and admonished.

"Miao'er, King Li Yu has been farming with peace of mind in the past two years, recruiting displaced people, and has also made great achievements, this time when he passes the customs, you invite him to a banquet to see how this person is."

"Father, why is that?"

Feng Miao didn't know what his father meant.

The Feng family occupies the land of Sanzhou, eats and drinks spicy food, and the family has expanded rapidly in the past few decades, as if it has become a hegemon.

Although it can't be compared with the strong feudal domain, it is still very nourishing between Shannan West Road and Shannan East Road, there has been no war for ten years, the military spirit is stable, and the people are satisfied, why do you suddenly have to contact a deposed emperor?

"Hehe, doesn't Miao'er know that King Liang wants to force the saint to move the capital?"

"King Liang has moved the capital many times, and everyone knows about it."

"His intention to move the capital is known to the world."

Feng Miao nodded.

"After returning to Beijing from Fengxiang, the sage first recruited a group of forbidden troops."

"King De is in Nanyang, married to the Zhao family, and now has an heir, he has paid tribute to Jingshi for two consecutive years, think about it, what is King De for?"

"This year, his tribute has increased again, and a large number of people have entered Beijing......"

"Uh...... Father, is it ......?"

"At the beginning of this year, the imperial court recruited 5,000 soldiers in Jingxiang, and now it is both food and people, I'm afraid that King De is not simple!"

"Then we ......"

"You test King De to see what he thinks, we have to be cautious now."

"Well, the kid remembers."

He knew that his father had the heart to join King Liang, but he hesitated at the beginning of the year, and now he is interested in King De again.

……

In the Wuguan Guanling Mansion.

"Feng Guan Ling, Ling Zun has been guarding the pass for many years, worrying about labor for the imperial court, and there is a lot to pay, after entering Beijing, this king will go to his father and the emperor, and will let the Feng family move to Xiongzhou."

"Thank you King De for your concern, and the minister will thank His Royal Highness on behalf of his father."

Feng Miao smiled and thanked him.

"Your Highness, there are many carriages and horses entering Beijing this time, and the road has been hard, if there is a life, I will follow the dogs and horses."

Feng Miao got up and saluted Li Yushen.

"Hehe, Feng Guanling, the imperial court is in an eventful autumn, and it is the top priority to strictly prevent the invasion of Li Maozhen and Wang Jian.

"Your Highness."

"There are still 60,000 horses and horses of King Liang in the Guan, and the supply of grain and grass is also a big expense."

Feng Miao mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Yu looked stunned, and then smiled without saying a word.

Seeing Li Yu's expression, Feng Miao knew that he had touched a sore spot.

After a moment of silence, Li Yu drank the wine in his cup.

"Feng Guan ordered, King Liang's soldiers should return to Bianzhou, there is not much grain and grass in the imperial court."

After that, the conversation turned elsewhere.

Feng Miao was secretly shocked.

King De actually said that King Liang's army should go back, what does this mean?

Something big is about to happen!
