The green river along the two boundaries of Qizhou and Changzhou, after drilling into the Benshou Mountain formed by the collision of the Niuyang Mountain Range and the Hengqiu Mountain Range, it becomes a hidden river that runs through the mountains, until it emerges from the Xinzhou Wandering Wind Gorge, that is, the Xinluo people occasionally found and escaped from the ravines that ascended to heaven, and continued to follow the northern border of Zhanzhou, stretching for hundreds of miles, which is the source of the three rivers that start from the Hazel Kingdom.

In Benshou Mountain, there is a ruined city that has gone through many years, the interior is extremely empty and far-reaching, and it was accidentally discovered by the mountain people of Qizhou who were later incorporated into the territory of Jiang State, which is the later Hanhui City, even now, most of the city has not been explored clearly, and the places where people live are only limited to the area outside the mountain. Crossing Benshou Mountain, passing through a snowfield, and then crossing the Xuefang River, which has not been frozen for many years, is the territory of Shenguo.

Although the cold returns to the outside of the city, the ice and snow are cold, but the city is as warm as summer, every time the north wind and cold air hit, or after the avalanche, the mountain wall of the city will often grow Xuesheng, a kind of white as a fist as big as a ball fruit, eat it to make people immediately freeze and die, and the external application has a miraculous effect on the dampness and heat of fire.

Originally, it was a bitter cold place to return to the city, but because there were all kinds of hot springs distributed in the city, and many treasures hidden in mysterious places were very attractive, and all kinds of legends and anecdotes spread all over the people, so it attracted the nobles and gentry from the surrounding Changzhou, Renzhou and other states, whether the elderly came to recuperate, or they were bored, and the common people came in an endless stream.

The city gate of the cold back city, to be precise, is more than ten zhang high mountain road hole, go into the south of the city into the hole, just two breaths, it will appear in a trance in a certain mountain forest in the wind shower pass, and later formed a wind shower town here, specially as a transit to the cold back city, providing a variety of food and accommodation and materials, some credible or unbelievable gossip often spread in the town, over time even engraved into a book, sold to the surrounding states and counties, to attract more people to come.

Since there is a passage in Changzhou, there is naturally a place in Shenguo, which is the north gate, so a cold return city is therefore divided into two halves of the pattern of "one south and one north", and Jiang Quanhui is guarding the south city.

Originally, the entire Hanhui City was in the hands of the Jiang people, about two hundred years ago, suddenly a group of more than 100 people, riding the Shen people, appeared in the north of the city for some reason, and even they were blinded for a long time, hunting on the snow field, and suddenly they were passed here. just saw the bustling scene in the city, especially the group of Jiang people who were powerless, so they changed from one hunt to another, and began to massacre. Hanhui City was once an empty city. Half a month later, the border army rushed from Qizhou, found that in addition to the rotten corpses all over the city, the Shenguo cavalry had long disappeared, and later found that there was actually a hole leading to the outside world in the crack of a mountain wall in the north of the city.

So in a city, Jiang Guo took advantage of the ups and downs of the terrain in the city, and could only build a thick wall in the city, for the good Shen people, the significance is not great, but it can also resist for a while, besides, usually Shen Guo's side, as long as Shi Guo does not harass Jiang Guo, Shen Guo people rarely take a step beyond Lei Chi, and more still use some local mineral prey and other specialties to trade some salt, grain and timber with Jiang Guoren.

The strange thing is that when Shi Guo invaded Qizhou last year, the people of Shen Guo did not appear in Hanhui City, but only at the northern foot of the Niuyang Mountain Range in the north of Qizhou, there were several cavalry attacks. Jiang Quanhui sent scouts to investigate, and after going out through the north of the city, he never came back, which made him always uneasy in his heart, and when it came to the things in Bozhou, his intuition told him that there must be some kind of connection between the two, so at the beginning of each month, Jiang Quanhui would send a team to Shenguo to inspect, but there was no news of the stone sinking into the sea, so that the city defense army in the city was brewing uneasiness and evasion.

Jiang Quanhui thought about it again and again, so he had to let the defenders stationed in the city take out half of it and place it directly in the north city, no longer send a team to do that useless work, and at the same time instructed the craftsmen in the city to build an arrow tower and a high fort in the high ground of the north city, so that in the future, changes can be postponed.

Lying in the milky white soup spring, looking at all kinds of sounds coming from all over the city, Jiang Quanhui, who was looking at all this, hugged the concubine beside him a little harder, and the tension in his heart was also slightly relieved.

Although Jiang Mingqi asked him to personally garrison the cold back to the city, but in a year, he was only around the New Year, and he came here to stay for two months to relax and relax, soak in the hot spring by the way to see if there were any novel discoveries in the city, and then return to the city from the cold back to the palace, a specially opened secret road, after leaving the mountain, he only needed to ride a fast horse and gallop for half a day, and he could return to the capital of Changzhou, where Gengrao City is located.

said that it was his father who ordered him to respond to Qizhou, in Jiang Quanhui's heart, that stupid big brother was completely useful, and he didn't have a chance to play on his own at all, even if he let a town and forest city go to Shiguo, Jiang Quanhui didn't have any slander, that group of Shenguo people, even if they harassed the border, more of them were in the north of Qizhou, and the cold returned to the city here, and there were few massacres like that more than two hundred years ago in history, as long as the leading cavalry was given some benefits, such as beautiful people, wine, gold, silver, jewelry, and the like, it was very easy to send away.

Just when Jiang Quanhui was enjoying the nourishment of the soup spring and the beauties left and right, his subordinates leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear, Jiang Quanhui turned his head and wondered, why did this kid come over, so he had to order the guards to bring him here directly.

Listening to the footsteps behind him, and the warm words that came from the familiar came along: "Summoning Brother Wang, the little brother is here to congratulate you!" ”

Jiang Quanhui walked away, got up and walked out of the soup pool, put on a brocade robe, sat on the chair, looked at Jiang Quanjun who was half-kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile: "Get up, what kind of wind blew Brother Quanzhu here, and what kind of seat is He?" ”

"I heard that the palace has added another pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, of course the elder brother should congratulate him." After speaking, he instructed his subordinates to present Jiang Quanhui with a pair of calligraphy and paintings, which slowly unfolded in front of Jiang Quanhui, more than two zhang long, it was actually a picture of four dragons facing the sky, four young dragons were coiled on the mountain cloud peak, and in the sea of clouds, there was a pair of gold and silver, tightly intertwined male and female dragons.

Jiang Quanhui stared at the picture scroll, but he frowned, he only received the news from the palace the day before yesterday, how did this kid know, and he came from Renzhou.

"Brother Quan Jue is really well-informed, okay, get up, don't act if there are no outsiders." Jiang Quanhui waved his hand.

Jiang Quanju got up with a smile, and asked people to put away the long painting of arrogance, this imperial brother, in addition to loving beauties the most in his life, is a calligraphy scroll with strong pen power.

With a look, the people around Jiang Quanxuan also retreated, and Jiang Quanhui asked: "Say, brother, you came from Renzhou without authorization, not only is it a trivial matter of congratulations, what does Uncle Huang have to order?" ”

"How dare you, it's just a trivial matter, brother Huang, please see."

Jiang Quanhui took a letter from him, and at first it was a little boring, nothing more than those high-sounding kind words of King Li, but he couldn't help but widen his eyes when he read it, and he looked at it again and again, and he couldn't believe it, and asked: "Father and Emperor actually mobilized the Thunder-Army?" ”

"This is still false, my second brother saw it with his own eyes over there in Zhanzhou, if it weren't for this strange army, I'm afraid Cai Fatzi's grave would have been overgrown with artemisia grass."

The Lei Army, Jiang Quanhui has only seen some vague records from the few words in the Imperial Library, and the Lu Ben Army, most of the latter are the emperor's direct royal forest guards, and they don't need military talismans to listen to the emperor's personal orders.

But the former, in the history of the Jiang Kingdom, only appeared twice at the beginning of the founding of the country and four hundred years ago. Once, it was rumored that when Taizu was about to be defeated on the bank of the Zhongpo River outside Cangyang City, he sacrificed the artifact of the country to send countless thunderbolts from the sky by order of heaven, turning into a golden army of thousands of people, and finally wiped out the main force of the former country on the river, and the royal family of the former country was also forced to move to the south of the Jiang country, and later divided into east and west.

But in the pen of the imperial history, the rumors are even more divine than the folks, but there is only a short sentence: "More than 100 horsemen on the bank of the Taizu River, 200,000 people, want to be exhausted and come out of the form, divide more than 1,000 thunder departments, and then slaughter the past ...... in an instant"

Another time, there is no word in the annals of history, or a legend, the words are conclusive, saying that the new emperor was born that year, and at the same time after a meteor flew out of the palace, the sky was originally clear and the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and a golden army jumped up from the Nulu Mountain outside Cangyang City, chasing the meteor.

At first, the people thought it was a bad omen, and it was the birth of the later Emperor Xiao, and there were different opinions, but fortunately, the people of Jiang Guotai were more prosperous than before, and there was no war with Shi and the former country, so later generations rarely mentioned this historical change.

At the end of the letter, Jiang Mingchen instructed Jiang Quanhui, the powerful nephew, to "the time is more favorable, and the time is more favorable, and the steady change is to win", but as for Bozhou, Zhanzhou, and Yizhou, there is not a word of it.

Jiang Quanhui burned the letterhead in his hand and looked at Jiang Quanxuan with burning eyes, "Outside the letter, what else does Uncle Huang want you to pass on to me?" ”

Jiang Quanhui smiled and stretched out his hand, from the two fingers erected, slowly changed to three fingers to the palm, and finally held it, and then stretched out his other hand, which was also clenched into a fist.

"Millions? Even if you add my Changzhou and Renzhou, I can't feed so many people! ”

"Brother Huang, don't worry, 500,000 is enough, but there is one more thing, which is enough to be worth 500,000 troops." After speaking, Jiang Quanxuan took out a piece of fluorite that exuded cold air that was casually buckled down from the cold back to the city.

Jiang Quanhui laughed and said: "Brother Huang is really guarding the golden mountain without knowing it, do you know what this is?" Brother Rong sells a pass, just wait a few days, and then reveal the mystery for the royal brother? ”

Three days later, looking at the extremely sharp silver war knife in his hand, as well as the weapon armor under his feet like cutting tofu, Jiang Quanhui's eyes exuded a scorching light.

If Jiang Mingchen, who found himself ten years ago, was a fool's dream, and even a few days ago, he didn't have any interest and confidence, all these years, he has been secretly reporting to his father, and it's a big deal to sell Jiang Mingchen's old slippery head at that time. But holding this war knife that revealed a cold air, Jiang Quanhui seemed to have turned a blind eye to the world.
