Song Huan settled at the Yuelai Inn at the entrance of the alley under the business.

The position below the business is generally not in a particularly conspicuous position, and the emphasis is on a low-key.

Song Huan sat at the window on the second floor, and as long as he leaned out of the window, he could see the situation at the door of the business.

……

At this time, Wu Chu'an also arrived at the foothold, and Qin San replied to him about the situation he checked.

Wu Chuan didn't say anything, just said, "Let Qin Si and Qin Wu go and investigate Xia Gui and Sun Husheng." ”

After Qin San received the order, he retreated, and Han Cheng followed the Emperor Taishang into the door.

Wu Chuan didn't care about the emperor's actions, it can be said that this baby is not afraid of Wu Chuan at all, as long as he rests, he will stay by his side.

The emperor is also well-behaved, he just stood beside Wu Chu'an obediently, holding the hem of his clothes with his little hands, if he was tired, he would move a small pestle from the side and sit down, and continue to be next to Wu Chu'an.

Seeing this scene, Han Cheng silently covered the door and retreated, without disturbing the two.

He has never understood his master, he hates the Emperor, but in this situation he can ignore the Emperor's contact, and he can't understand or understand.

After Han Cheng closed the door, he went directly to the shopkeeper to order.

Liaodong because of the military disaster, the people's life is not good, although the south to the north grain transfer, but it is barely enough for the soldiers to eat, and the ordinary people are currently in, leaving, reluctant to their own family business, that is, a house that can not shelter from the wind and rain and a few pieces of infertile land. If you don't leave, you can only tighten your belt, ready to starve to death and be killed by the enemy at any time.

The people pay attention to a root, and if the root is there, there is still hope for a family, so as long as the war does not reach their own door, they would rather die than leave.

Song Huan and the others entered Xiangping City in Liaodong County today, and Xia Gui and their battle line was in Benxi City, and Xuanwu County, to which Benxi belonged, had been captured.

Benxi is the junction of Xuansu County and Liaodong County, and there is a mountain range and valley as a natural defense line, if this pass is captured, Liaodong County will be captured by the enemy with lightning speed, until Changli County.

What Xia Gui and Sun Husheng kept now was not to let the other party break through the pass, but they would not risk going out to repel Gao Guangshu.

Gao Guangshu is like a god, unless His Majesty comes in person, Xia Gui and Sun Husheng will be difficult to defeat each other, and now the two of them tacitly only want to hold this pass so steadily.

In the imperial court, they have the merit of guarding the territory, and in themselves, they can keep their official positions.

When the next person takes over, he can still be a big general.

Xia Gui was looking at the book of soldiers in the camp tent, and at this time, a report came from outside the door: "Scout Wang Nan has something to report to the general." ”

"Enter."

Scouts are the eyes of the army, they not only need to be good at escaping, but also need to have the ability to assassinate, understand the landform, determine the water source, draw maps, and have the ability to open roads and build bridges when encountering water.

Wang Nan is one of them.

He is a native of Xuansu County, and he was conscripted into the military camp, and his greatest hope is to be able to repel the foreigners and return his hometown to a stable place, while his relatives are still in Xuanwu County without knowing life and death.

Wang Nan knelt on one knee, clenched his fists and said respectfully: "When my subordinates were on duty, I found that the group of foreigners was dividing into a small team of ten people, probably trying to start from the mountains on both sides of the pass. ”

Of course, Xia Gui didn't want to see this happen, and it was best for both parties to be at such a stalemate.

After three months of going on like this, why did you suddenly start moving again?

He thought that it was already September now, and it would be winter in a few days, and it seemed that the other party didn't want to continue to consume like this.

Xia Gui said: "If you continue to send people to keep an eye on it, if it is really as you guessed, it will be a great achievement!" ”

"You keep staring first."

Wang Nan had to order him to step back.

Xia Gui immediately sent someone to invite Sun Husheng and several generals and lieutenants to discuss countermeasures.

After Wang Nan left, he sighed.

Can he not understand it these months?

General Xia, they were not willing to send troops at all.

Thinking about the beginning, Wu Anhou, the god of war who resounded all over the world in this dynasty, and today's saints, which one is not a decisive general, but unfortunately, there are inevitably a few people who are greedy for life and afraid of death under the god of war.

Although Wang Nan sighed in his heart, the speed under his feet was extremely fast, and the foreign clan would never be able to break through the Benxi Pass, otherwise, Liaodong County would become the next Xuansu County.

……

The third day of arrival at Xiangping City.

Sun Da and the others began to move.

Song Huan didn't bring Xiao Lu and Xiao Hei this time, and after entrusting the store to take care of them, she set off to follow.

The four carts of catacia seeds were transported out of Xiangping City and headed for Benxi City.

The road was barren and lonely, even if I saw the people, it was in a hurry, and there were those who closed the door, and the faces were frightened.

Song Huan felt very uncomfortable.

Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer.

This sentence suddenly appeared in Song Huan's mind.

Nowadays, the people who make them like this are the scourge of war, and it is not practical to solve the problem of hunger only superficially, but it must be solved fundamentally, and only when the war subsides can the people have a chance to breathe.

Song Huan forced himself to retract his gaze, ignoring the crying voices in his ears.

She had to figure out what was going on with them.

When I arrived in Benxi City, there were only a few carriages coming and going, and people begging along the road were outside the door.

And the city gate is at the other end of the mountain range, where those barracks are stationed, and Song Huan can vaguely see the smoke rising, I don't know if it is clouds or cooking smoke.

The five Sun Da did not enter the city, they went directly to a dilapidated village to settle down, and found a house where no one was left to live.

Song Huan did not enter the village, but went directly to the mountain behind the house, where she could see their situation in the courtyard.

They put the carts of corn directly in the yard, fed the cattle grass, and they began to eat the evening food.

Song Huan stared at the movement while nibbling on steamed buns.

When it gets dark, she'll have to go down.

Here she could see the situation clearly, but she could not hear what they were saying, and if there was any movement in the night, she could know it as soon as possible.

Sure enough, as Song Huan guessed, after dark, the person in charge went out of the house and walked in one direction.

Song Huan secretly followed, and this one was two hours.

Song Huan didn't expect that he actually went over the mountain to a place not far from where the army was encamped.

When the other party blew a whistle, a figure appeared in the dark forest.

couldn't see the person who was coming, so Song Huan could only try to get as close as possible to listen to what the two people were talking about.

"Everything?"

"Ready, though, the money is ......"

"Don't worry, you're indispensable."

"Are you sure you can grow it?"

"Lizheng promised, definitely a good seed."

"Well, in three days, you can leave after you get the seeds here."

"It's a hundred taels, and the rest will be done."

Both of them spoke the language of the Yanhe Dynasty, and Song Huan couldn't tell if the other party was a foreigner.

But whether you hear it or not, it is the same, they mean that they are going to use corn for planting, and this is not an obvious situation, this batch of seeds is to be shipped out to the foreigners.

Song Huan grinds his teeth, these ***!
