Chapter Forty-Eight: Uninhabited Villages
Out of Niangzi Pass, came to the main road, Lu Chen took Fang Qi and Meng Ji and more than 50 soldiers under his command, it was really "Kunpeng spread his wings and rode his horse and whipped himself", the leading Lu Chen hissed under the crotch of the "black wind", threw off the four hooves and ran wildly in front, and followed closely behind with Meng Ji and a group of soldiers.
has been running wildly for more than an hour, and when he turns back, he can't see that the lady is closed, so Lu Chen grabbed the reins and slowed down.
"It's not far ahead of Xingzhou!" Fang Qi caught up with Lu Chen, walked side by side, and introduced to Lu Chen, "Strategist, shall we enter Xingzhou City?" Fang Qi asked.
"Don't enter! Straight over it! Let's go straight to Weizhou, and don't go to the town in the middle! Lu Chen thought for a while and vetoed Fang Qi's proposal, so many people, if they go through the state, the target is too eye-catching, if there is Liu Heimin's spy, he will definitely report to Liu Heimin, the spy's duty is to report any trouble, as for whether it is beneficial or unfavorable to his side, this is all analyzed by the people above.
Lu Chen led so many people, and at first glance he was an elite soldier, those spies would definitely not let go of this kind of news easily.
"Yes!" Fang Qi received the order, "The military advisor has an order, go straight to Weizhou!" Fang Qi directly asked the herald to go down to deliver the order.
Niangzi Pass is only a few hundred miles away from Weizhou, Lu Chen is not in a hurry, but takes a group of soldiers to bypass Xingzhou City and advance in a hurry.
Bypassing Daizhou City and finding a dense forest, Lu Chen took the lead and went directly into the dense forest, at this time there should be more than two hours before dawn, Lu Chen ordered to rest on the spot.
When the sky gradually brightened, there were soldiers buried in the pot to make rice, and breakfast was several large pots of soup cakes, of course, with the seasoning brought by Lu Chen, and the others were also very happy.
After breakfast, Lu Chen waved his hand, and everyone got on the horse and continued to move forward.
Because he wants to go around the town, he walks mostly in uninhabited places, fortunately there is Fang Qi to lead the way, otherwise Lu Chen is really not too familiar with the road in this era, Lu Chen has also seen the rough map in the book, and if he really wants to put it in reality, he found that there are some town names on the map, and Lu Chen really doesn't know how to get there.
The rising red sun hung in the air, and the fresh air suddenly made Lu Chen feel good.
"The sky is afraid of the dark clouds and the wind is afraid~~ The little chicken cub is afraid of the old harrier eagle~~~" Lu Chen, who was riding on the horse, couldn't help but hum the two of them.
"Strategist, what kind of song are you singing? It's weird, why haven't I heard of it? Hearing Lu Chen's humming of the two, Fang Qi couldn't help but ask curiously.
"This one! This is a song I learned in Kanwai back then! Lu Chen said nonsense, but it was not nonsense, after all, the two of them were indeed from the Northeast, and in this era, the Northeast did not belong to the outside of the Guan.
"Is it Yingzhou?" Fang Qi asked.
"Yingzhou?" Hearing Fang Qi's question, Lu Chen thought for a while, indeed, at this time, the Northeast Pass was indeed under the jurisdiction of Yingzhou, and Yingzhou was under Hebei Province.
"That's it! That's a great place! Thinking of the black soil of the Northeast Granary, Lu Chen couldn't help but say.
"What a thing! Where birds don't lay eggs and rabbits don't poop, there are brothers who come back from there and say that they can freeze to death in winter! Why does the military advisor still say that the place is good? If it's a good place, those Khitan people can often offend because they don't have enough to eat? At this time, Meng Ji, who was on the other side of Lu Chen, pouted and said.
"That's because the Khitans don't produce, they only hunt on horseback!" Lu Chen looked at Meng Ji's disdainful look and said with a smile, "To the north of Yingzhou, there is a large plain, all of which are black soil, if those black soil crops are planted casually, everyone in the Tang Dynasty will be fed!" ”
"Really?!" Hearing Lu Chen say this, Meng Ji's face was incredulous, and a pair of bull's eyes glared at the boss.
"Of course it's true!" Lu Chen looked at Meng Ji's expression and felt funny, "This world is bigger than you imagined, do you think our Datang is big enough?" Lu Chen asked Meng Ji rhetorically.
"That's natural, this world is the biggest in our Datang!" Meng Ji said proudly.
"You're wrong! Our Datang is just a small place for the whole world, going west, it is the place where Ban Chao of the Han Dynasty went, where it is now called the Black Clothes Food, and the territory of the Black Clothes Food can be compared with our Tang Dynasty, and the Black Clothes Food is further west, which is the Holy See, and now it should be a person named Heraclius who rules there, and it is also a big force..."Lu Chen briefly told Meng Ji about the world pattern in the early Tang Dynasty, and directly stunned Meng Ji and Fang Qi, who was listening to the sound.
"That's... Strategist... Do you know that in such detail, have you been to those places? Fang Qi asked with some apprehension, what Lu Chen knew was too terrifying, how far away it was, and Lu Chen also knew the customs and habits of the people there, if it wasn't for the immortals, how could he have walked so far so young, now who wants to say that Lu Chen is not an immortal, Fang Qi will be the first to play with him.
"Hehe, I've been there! There are also some records in the ancient books of the teacher's inheritance! Lu Chen said ambiguously, if you want to say that you have been there, Lu Chen must have been, in his previous life, he was on a mission, and he was about to run all over the countries on the earth.
"Oh!" Fang Qi glanced at Meng Ji, Meng Ji nodded understandingly, and did not continue to ask, these things that Lu Chen said alone were scary enough, sometimes it was not a good thing to know too much, and the two tacitly agreed not to continue to ask.
At this time, Lu Chen and the others were advancing on the mountain path, and soon turned a mountain col, and a village appeared in front of everyone.
When Lu Chen and the others came to the outside of the village, they found that the entire village was lifeless, in ruins, and a few crows were startled by the sound of Lu Chen and the others' horses' hooves.
"What's going on?" Lu Chen ordered people to enter the village to check, and suddenly more than 20 men rushed into the village on horseback, the village was not big, and there were more than a dozen families when it was full, so Zhang You, who took the lead in rushing into the village, quickly flew back.
"How?" Looking at Zhang You, who came back from horseback, Lu Chen asked.
"Back to the military division, the entire village has been ransacked, and there is no one alive!" Zhang You said with hatred on his face.
"Did the Turkic cavalry do it?" Looking at Zhang You's hatred, Lu Chen asked tentatively, after all, now there is a famine on the Turkic side, and the Turks are attacking the border in the south because of this matter, if there is a small group of cavalry infiltrating in, it is not impossible to ransack a village.
