He Xiaoyuan smiled and said nothing.

So Yan Saburo understood. She is determined to expel foreign insults, how could she let such a great opportunity as the internal riots of the country not muddy the waters?

On the outside, there are people who defend, and on the inside, there are brown army guards.

I don't know what role He Xiaoyuan has played in such a combination of inside and outside.

Naturally, Yan Saburo didn't ask much, this is a secret.

He asked about the Brown Army uprising. After all, he had to figure out how many obstacles there were on his way to Shengyi.

"It's gone. He Xiaoyuan's answer was very realistic, "You go northwest along the periphery of Fenglai Mountain, and after crossing the Suosuo River, it is the territory strictly controlled by the Wei Wang Court. The rebels had not yet reached there, and crossing the river was a big problem. ”

Immediately afterward, she talked about the ins and outs of the Brown Army uprising.

The cause of this incident dates back to last summer. After a heated debate, the royal court ordered the excavation of Fenglai Mountain and the construction of a canal, intending to divert the water of the Panlong River through Fenglai Mountain, so as to connect the east and west.

Fenglai Mountain is a vast mountain range lying in the south of the central part of the country, the royal court sent an army to attack Youguo, and had to walk around Fenglai Mountain first, which took at least 20 days. This time, Han Zhao led the army from the north to the southeast front, and it was inevitable to walk around the periphery of Fenglai Mountain, accounting for one-third of the total distance.

With this trench blocking the road, the pace of the guards inevitably slowed down. At that time, the war had been fought for more than a year, and the situation was no longer as rosy as it had been before the war, but the pace of spending was faster than expected. King Wei was also anxious, and one day he looked at the sand table and had a whim, and the idea of crossing the mountains and repairing the river came to him.

Although the area of Fenglai Mountain is vast, the waist is very narrow, the "waistline" is less than fifteen miles, and the mountain here is relatively gentle, and there is the vast Panlong River at the foot of the mountain. If the mountains and rivers are dug here, the patriotic troops and grain will be transported to the country, and the journey of 20 days will be saved!

Although time-consuming and labor-intensive, the canal was not only dug for the war effort. After conquering the kingdom, the defenders could quickly pass through the mountains and manage the expanded territory in the southeast.

This is actually a holistic consideration, but unfortunately Wei Ting's luck is not good.

Soon after the excavation of the mountain and river, it encountered a once-in-a-century flood, and countless laborers died at the site due to the collapse of the construction site and the landslide.

The laborers who opened the mountains and repaired the river were recruited from nearby, and seven or eight out of ten were Fenglai locals. In more than a dozen townships and counties such as Fenglai Town and Xichengpu, every few families must be mourning in white, and the loss is often the main labor force in the family.

After the flood, Shengyi's order came again. There were many places to spend money during the war, and the royal court only gave a small amount of compensation to the victims, and in the blink of an eye, urged the canal to continue to be dug.

This command finally pierced the hornet's nest.

The people of Fenglai Mountain have been resentful for a long time, and in vain they broke out like a mountain flood. The villagers of Xichengpu rose up to resist Wei Ting's expropriation and abuse of people's power.

At first, there were only 3 or 400 people, and the people of one township responded to every call, and the flame of the uprising quickly spread to 20 or 30 townships by the autumn wind, and then it spread farther and farther, and the signs of the uprising became more and more vigorous.

By the time of the Chinese New Year, the huge Fenglai Mountains had been occupied by the rebels, and this force had even expanded rapidly to the northwest and southeast.

It was in this kind of expansion that Wutong Town was swallowed by the Brown Army.

For King Wei, the Brown Army Uprising was just ringworm scabies at the beginning, but it grew bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a cancer. In the past few months, he has also sent a large army to clean up, and there have been some results.

However, several of the pioneers who led the army, one of them suddenly died of illness in the army, and the other accidentally fell off his horse during the war, which led to chaos in the royal army.

The Brown Army was given a chance to breathe, and soon recovered and made a comeback.

"Accident?" Yan Saburo pondered these two words, and looked at He Xiaoyuan's eyes with a strange look. General Qian Dingqian seems to have died in an "accident"?

From this point of view, the relationship between He Xiaoyuan and Brown Jun is much deeper than their initial judgment.

He Xiaoyuan spread his hands and directly changed the topic: "I can take you through the occupied area of the Brown Army smoothly." ”

"Why?" Qu Yunhe asked her unceremoniously, "Why do you want to help us?" He Xiaoyuan asked them to meet around here, also because the military order of the Patriotic State was useless in the occupied area of the Brown Army, and could only cause trouble.

"You blocked Han Zhao for me, and-" He Xiaoyuan knew very well that she was not Han Zhao's opponent, if it weren't for Qu Yunhe's help that day, she would have been taken down by Han Zhao. As far as the matter is concerned, she owes these two a favor, "You helped me get enough gold dust." ”

The usefulness of saving gold dust is very large, and it is not limited to making a few military orders.

Many important orders and regulations issued by the Weiting also added gold dust.

With this sharp weapon, He Xiaoyuan can do a lot of things.

Yan Saburo remembered how dexterous this woman's hands were, and couldn't help but be moved, and felt a little sympathetic to Wei Wangting.

He Xiaoyuan asked again: "What are you going to do when you go to Shengyi?"

She asked this question half a month ago, but Yan Saburo didn't want to perfunctory her this time. After all, it was time-saving and labor-saving for her to lead her through the area occupied by the Brown Army, and Qu Yunhe had limited time to stay outside, so they had to hurry.

"We're going to go to the palace. ”

He Xiaoyuan's face changed: "What are you doing in there?"

It is tantamount to the Longtan Tiger's Den, and it is by no means a good place for idle people to go in for sightseeing.

Yan Saburo glanced at Qu Yunhe: "We're going to find something." ”

He Xiaoyuan snorted and laughed: "Do you think King Wei will invite you in casually?"

"No, it won't. Yan Saburo didn't blink, "So we're ready to break in." ”

They are not familiar with Shengyi, and the most straightforward way is to sneak in. As for how to slip away, I haven't figured it out yet.

Depending on the situation, take one step at a time.

He Xiaoyuan looked at him, then at Qu Yunhe, and shrugged: "Okay." ”

￥￥￥￥￥

With He Xiaokite here, Yan Saburo and the two were able to leave Wutong Town unimpeded, and Chen Mandang, the leader of the Brown Army, waved goodbye to them with a smile on his face.

But before leaving, Qu Yunhe also went out for a walk.

Wutong Town was missing two people that day, but no one cared.

Early the next morning, the soldiers of the Brown Army found two local men in the pigsty, who had been frozen outside all night in such a cold weather with only their Chinese coats, and they had already become popsicles, and the strange thing was that there were smiles on the corners of their mouths.

When the matter was reported, Chen Mandang took a special look, and then waved his hand: "Don't care." ”

At this time, He Xiaoyuan and the three of them were already on their way to Shengyi.

The construction of the Fenglai Mountain Canal was interrupted due to the uprising, so the three of them had to detour from the edge of this huge mountain range, which took a lot of time.
