Li Xiaobai and Wen Wan and their entourage left Yanzhou City and continued north.

It's just that the more you walk, the more displaced people you meet, and many people have begun to cheat and abduct, and even encountered a few incidents of forcible seizures.

All this shows that war is just around the corner and that the form is becoming more and more uncontrolled.

......

The information I got in Yanzhou three days ago was that the brave general Shi Zhenyi was stationed in Youzhou. The volunteer general Yuwen flew out of Yunju and attacked in the direction of Wonju. The general Xiao Chaotian led 100,000 troops and had already entered Xiangzhou City, and the vanguard troops were heading south.

The war has begun!

......

Now the walking speed is already very slow, Li Xiaobai is anxious, but helpless.

The road was full of cars and pedestrians, and some people saw Li Xiaobai and a few people walking north, and they would kindly persuade a few words.

"Go back, young man, don't go any further, the army on the edge of the town is about to attack. ”

Li Xiaobai thanked him while avoiding the crowd on the road and walked forward slowly.

Especially in the jurisdiction of the Hedong Provincial Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, which is close to the Youzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, it is almost no different from the front line of the war, and there are garrisons in the state cities and passes everywhere that are stepping up preparations for war. If it weren't for Shen Xingsi's waist card, it would have been impossible to continue north.

By the time they reached the 100-mile land near Cheung Chau, the road was completely blocked.

"Stop coming, don't go any further!"

There was a captain of the Hedong Military Academy who led people to block the road.

"I'm Chang Shi Xuanyu, please let me go. ”

Xuan Yu said and showed Shen Xingji's waist card.

"It turned out to be the Lord of the Shen Xing Division, and there are already soldiers from the town border in Changzhou in front of the city, so it is recommended that the adults detour. ”

This lieutenant saw Shen Xingsi's waist card and didn't dare to offend.

Li Xiaobai and Wen Wan didn't expect that the advance speed of the Zhenbian Army would be so fast, and in just ten days, a vanguard force would actually come to Changzhou City.

"Excuse me, is the battle unfavorable ahead, how could the Zhenbian army reach Changzhou so quickly?"

Hyun Woo asked the lieutenant.

"Alas! Where is the war unfavorable, it is obviously a descent from the wind! The eleven prefectures under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Youzhou, when the army on the edge of the town arrived, eight prefectures surrendered without a fight, and although the other three continents resisted hard, they all held out for only two days, so the army on the edge of the town was like a bamboo, and it advanced to Hedong Road in a few days!"

"How can it be!"

Li Xiaobai also did not expect that the flames of war would burn half of the northern region of the Tang Empire so quickly.

After discussing it with Wen Wan, since he couldn't pass through the war zone directly, he could only take a detour.

"Thank you, let's go back, please take care, if you really can't resist, I hope to save my life for the future!"

Li Xiaobai has always believed in his heart that human life is the most important thing! Meaningless sacrifice, even if it is glorious, it is better to preserve life in order to make a comeback in the future.

......

The general Xiao Chaotian led an army of 150,000 and went directly south from Youzhou, and the volunteer general Yuwen Feiyang led an army of 100,000 and attacked the original state capital in Izumo Prefecture.

The two armies attacked along both sides of the Taihang Mountains, and the target was Chang'an City!

Although there is water in the number of the army, the original 150,000 town border army, plus the combined forces of the two countries in the northern plains, as well as the surrender troops of the state capitals, are also mighty and imposing.

......

Now that there is war on both sides, Li Xiaobai and Wen Wan decided to travel through the Taibai Mountains, although the speed will be much slower, at least they will not encounter a large-scale town border army.

When he entered the Taihang Mountains, Li Xiaobai found that the mountains were not calm, not only some homeless people hid in the mountains, but also some small local garrisons that were defeated by the townside army, or dozens of people, or a dozen people, all occupied some cottages and became bandits.

Li Xiaobai and Wen Wan are also powerless against these phenomena, because now that the war has just begun, the situation will be even more cruel in the future.

For the things around him, Li Xiaobai doesn't mind reaching out, that's all.

For those bandits who occupy the cottage, as long as they are not too brutal, Li Xiaobai doesn't bother to care, after all, they are still much better than those who surrendered directly.

After walking for about ten days, I finally approached the vicinity of Xiangzhou.

At this moment, Li Xiaobai, Wen Wan and the others saw a group of ragged people walking opposite.

When he passed by, Li Xiaobai found that the person in charge was familiar, and after careful observation, he couldn't help laughing!

The other party looked at Li Xiaobai in surprise, reacted instantly, and laughed heartily!

"Hahaha...... How did you end up like this?"

"Hahaha...... It turned out to be you!"

Wen Wan couldn't stop laughing when she saw the other party!

In the most difficult time for Li Xiaobai and Wen Wan, they met this most undedicated bandit, Lu Ranger of Fallen Soul Ridge.

I didn't expect to meet again, Li Xiaobai was in high spirits, and Lu Ranger had already changed from a bandit to a beggar.

"Brother Lu, why did you get mixed up like this? This bandit is too embarrassing!

Lu Ranger looked at Li Xiaobai and didn't feel ashamed at all.

"Little brother, sure enough, my brother didn't misunderstand you, it seems that the chaos is booming now!"

"Don't talk about me, what's wrong with you?"

"Alas, brother, don't mention it, you also know that my brother, this bandit, is a fake, just a mess. Now that the world is chaotic, there are real bandits in Fallen Soul Ridge, and my brother and I have no choice but to flee. ”

"Ahh

"It seems that it is a straggler from Xiangzhou City, I heard that Xiangzhou Assassin Shi ordered Hu Huan to surrender to the border army of the town, so these people left the barracks and ran to the Fallen Soul Ridge to occupy the mountain as the king. ”

"Xiangzhou's soldiers, I'm going to take a look at this matter!Brother Lu, where are you going?"

"Don't hide it from my brother, if you look at the appearance of my brother's group, you will know the situation, you really can't mix it up here, you can only take one step at a time. ”

"Come on, you go back with me, and see who occupies Fallen Soul Ridge now, and take it back if you can!"

Li Xiaobai and Wen Wan discussed that Falling Soul Ridge occupies a favorable location, and if it can occupy here, it is equivalent to planting a nail in the heart of the army on the edge of the town.

Since the war has begun, it is necessary to start planning for the future, and the half of the "Collection of Mountains and Seas" captured in the Youzhou General's Mansion shows great importance.

It's a pity that it's only half a volume!

......

"Let's go, Fallen Soul Ridge must be taken back. ”

Li Xiaobai even thought about whether it would be the soldiers of the Zhenbian Army who occupied it, because the "Mountains and Seas Collection" in the hands of the general Xiao Chaotian was more comprehensive.

Li Xiaobai asked the Xuanzi group to go first and investigate the situation in Falling Soul Ridge in advance.

......

At the place where they met Lu Ranger last time, Li Xiaobai and the others met the Xuanzi group who were waiting here.

"General Qiyu, there are about six hundred people gathered in the Fallen Soul Ridge now, all of them are formed soldiers. However, it doesn't look like it's a town army. ”

"Ah! There were only about a hundred people when I left, and there have been so many people in just a few days?"

Lu Ranger was glad that he ran fast, where are these bandits? It's simply a military camp.

Li Xiaobai was also taken aback, six hundred soldiers, that is, three battalions. You must know that in some small state cities, the garrison is only 1,000 to 3,000 people.

Where the hell did this person come from?
