Chapter 036: The Marching Road

On May 25 of the fourth year of Cheng'an, Lou Xiyu's army was reassembled at Feiyan Pass, and the troops were divided into three routes, crossed Langcheng, and continued to advance towards Ningyue Kingdom.

The left flank of 150,000 men and horses was led by Lou Xiyu himself and rushed to the vast mountain; the right flank, with the deputy general Xu Ming as the vanguard, led 150,000 troops to attack Zi Tengling; while the 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Chinese army were still led by Han, and directly passed through the north gate of Langcheng and approached Nanjun.

Lou Xiyu wanted to send someone to send Luo Yiyi back to Nanjun, but Luo Yiyi refused, and even threatened to die, so she had to follow Lou Xiyu, and Lou Xiyu knew Luo Yiyi's temperament, knew that she couldn't really commit suicide, but she was quite helpless about her actions, and could only promise Luo Yiyi to continue to walk in disguise as a man.

Qingchen had already discussed the marching route with Lou Xiyu. Lou Xiyu had been defeated in Cangmang Mountain in the past, and now he was going to be ashamed in Cangmang Mountain, but Qingchen chose to go to Zi Tengling with Vice General Xu and Zhao Yun.

Because of Zi Tengling, and her old man, Gu Yanzhao participated in the siege and destruction of the Ye family, and now he only ended up with a dismissal and dismissal, and he was too cheap.

From Langcheng to Zi Tengling, the terrain is complex, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, Rao is an army of 150,000 people day and night, and it took seven days to reach the destination.

"Stop.." Xu Ming rode on his horse, stretched out his hand, stopped the team behind him, and then spoke. In order to avoid being ambushed by the enemy, we will set up camp here and make plans after we have found out the situation."

Qingchen followed the team with Tomorrow, and when he saw the army stop, he already understood what Xu Ming meant.

"Childe, it looks like General Xu is going to camp again, Childe should also dismount and rest." Tomorrow looked at Qingchen and said.

"No hurry." Qingchen opened his mouth lightly. Where have they been?"

"Ye Di took another way, and planned to go through the dense forest ahead to find out the situation of Zi Tengling. According to his footsteps, he should have arrived at Zi Tengling at this time. As for Huai Jin and Ji Yu, they set off after Feiyan Pass stabilized Master Zhao's condition, a few days later than us." Tomorrow bowed down and said.

Qingchen nodded slightly, looking at the scene in front of him.

The place Xu Ming chose to camp was an open and flat open space at the foot of the mountain, which was sheltered by the dense forests of the mountains, and it was just in the blind spot of the Zi Tengling guards.

What surprised Qingchen even more was that according to Xu Ming's arrangement, the layout and direction of the military camp actually implied the gossip of the five elements.

"Xu Ming is worthy of being picked up by Lou Xiyu, cautious, thoughtful, don't look at him now, he is just a small lieutenant, in time, he will definitely become a general in his own right." Qingchen saw everything in his eyes and opened his mouth in admiration.

"Maybe this siege of Zi Fujiling is General Xu's chance." Tomorrow will follow.

"Mu Junshi, the camp tent has been set up, please dismount and rest." Just as Qingchen and Tomorrow were talking, Xu Ming suddenly walked over and said to Qingchen.

"There's General Lao Xu." Qingchen nodded at Xu Ming, reflexively dismounted, and asked Tomorrow to take Zhao Yun and walk towards the camp together.

The 150,000 soldiers and horses led by Xu Ming were brought by Lou Xiyu from Xinlong City.I have never seen Qingchen's true face before.I just heard from the mouths of others that there is a very powerful military advisor who broke Langcheng in just ten days.Now I see that Xu Ming is so respectful to Qingchen.The identity of Qingchen in my heart is already clear.

The soldiers were indeed a little tired after seven days of continuous travel, and after setting up camp, they rested in their tents, and Xu Ming also ordered the leaders of the gang to make a fire and cook, so that the soldiers could have a good meal.

The Lou Jiajun was really as disciplined as rumored, even though he was very tired, but he who should have been on an errand and should have stood guard, he still did not relax in the slightest, and he still stuck to his post to guard against a sudden enemy attack.

In the tent, Qingchen sat in front of the desk, and on the table was a topographical map of Zi Tengling, where there were mountains, where there were dense forests, where could ambushes, where could be covered, and all of them were marked in great detail. This map was drawn by Qingchen with his own memory.

However, after two years, even if there is any change in Zi Fujiling, it is understandable, so she does not dare to act rashly based on the memories of the past.

Tomorrow stands behind Qingchen.Stand as a protector.Don't dare to be careless.Because this is a battlefield.A battlefield full of accidents and accidents.One moment it may still be calm and the waves can't make waves.The next moment it may be a river of swords, swords, and shadows.

And Zhao Yun sat quietly in the tent, looking at the direction of Qingchen, looking worried, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a long time, Qingchen put away the map on the desk, raised his eyes, and saw the trance on Zhao Yun's face, so he smiled and said:

"General Zhao has been fighting all his life, isn't this the most familiar scene, how can it seem so overwhelming."

"Mu Gongzi said with a smile, although Zhao has been fighting all his life, he never thought of sitting in the camp of the enemy army and watching the original enemy attack his homeland." Zhao Yun shook his head and said.

"Has General Zhao ever thought that in the distant past, the Heavenly Star Condensing Moon was also a family, and there was no so-called enemy country and homeland." A faint opening in the dust." Our emperor adheres to the will of the previous emperor, and is bound to unify the Central Plains and realize the great harmony of the world.

"This is just an excuse you're looking for for the Celestial Star Kingdom to invade Ning Yue." Zhao Yun shook his head with disdain.

"General Zhao, wait and see, wait and see, and when the world is truly unified, the general will know that all this is the trend of the times and is inevitable." Qingchen didn't want to argue with Zhao Yun more, he just said so.

Maybe the topic was too heavy, or maybe Zhao Yun's situation was too embarrassing and embarrassing. He didn't stay in Qingchen's tent for long, but opened the curtain and walked out.

"Childe, he ...... "Seeing this tomorrow, he was about to chase Zhao Yun back, but he was stopped by Qingchen.

"Let him go, let him think about it for himself." Qingchen said, speaking again. You send a message to Mingyue and Hua Niang, and let them do everything possible to investigate the matter of Peng Guan, the keeper of Zi Fujiling, the sooner the better."

"My subordinates know." Tomorrow nodded, and then walked out of the tent, according to Qingchen's instructions, to Mingyue and Hua Niang respectively.

When he walked out of the tent, he happened to see Zhao Yun walking up the hillside next to him, and beside Zhao Yun was Lou Xiyu's lieutenant general, Xu Ming.

It turned out that Xu Ming had just come out of his tent and was going to go to Qingchen to discuss the enemy's strategy.

"Let General Zhao accompany him this time, although it is for the good of General Zhao, but it makes General Zhao embarrassed. Xu Ming and Zhao Yun stood on the other side of the hill, looking at the complicated spring scenery in front of them.

"Zhao is just a cloth cloth now, General Xu doesn't have to be so polite." Zhao Yun spoke.

"General Zhao seems to have a deep prejudice against Master Mu." Xu Ming is also a real person, and he has never beaten around the bush, so he asked directly.

"It's not a prejudice, it's just that the Tao is different, and it doesn't conspire with each other. Mu Gongzi said to you, he is a military advisor, he is a hero, but for Zhao, it is the root of all tragedies and evils." Facing the hearty and direct Xu Ming, Zhao Yun didn't hide it, and said directly.

He is now in the enemy camp.Whatever he says, there are countless pairs of eyes staring.Even if he wants to clear his grievances.But he doesn't know where to start.It's better to be direct.What's more.He also knows Xu Ming quite well.Xu Ming can follow Lou Xiyu's side for so long.I think he should be a bright and upright person.

"General Zhao's words are wrong, and Mu Junshi's approach is beneficial to both the Heavenly Star and the Ning Yue." Xu Ming shook his head and said. Mu Junshi's plan to break through Langcheng not only saved the two armies from fighting and bloodshed, but also saved Langcheng and all the people in the city, and did not hurt innocent people.

"Hmph, the last point, that's what you value." Zhao Yun snorted coldly.

"General Zhao has ever thought about why between the stars and the moon, even if there is Princess Jade Hook and his relatives, he can only keep peace for two years, but the war is fighting again." Xu Ming didn't care about Zhao Yun's attitude, but asked.

"Why?" Zhao Yun asked rhetorically.

"Because of the general trend of the world, the two countries were one family hundreds of years ago, and after being separated for so long, it should be reunified." Xu Ming opened his mouth and said. Two years ago, the Ningyue Kingdom had a chance to unify the Central Plains, but the abolished emperor made a wrong move, and made a move to kill his father and kill the emperor to seize the throne, so that the first emperor of Ningyue could not wait for the Ningyue Kingdom to completely defeat the Tianxing, so he drove the crane west, and at that time, the court was unstable, Xiao Ling and the former empress Ye Qingcheng, so they could only withdraw their troops and return to Kyoto."

"What do you mean, it was the Abolished Emperor who gave the Celestial Star Kingdom a chance to recuperate." Zhao Yun asked.

"Yes, in that battle two years ago, the Ning Moon Country won a small victory, but the Heavenly Star Country won a big victory." Xu Ming nodded and spoke. It was because the Moon Nation had not pursued the victory two years ago, and two years later, it had lost the ability to devour the Celestial Star."
