Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Messenger Arrives, and the Light Opens Up
The elite of the Beidi organization had already circled to the rear of the urban agglomeration of the Lonely Bamboo City Plain, silently cutting off the grain and grass transported to the Lonely Bamboo City.
This group of men and horses hides during the day, and at night they come out to attack villages where there is little resistance.
For a time, the whole plain was in turmoil.
Merchants were rumoring that the Beidi army had circled from the big snowfield further west to the south of the plain, but they never thought that the drop of water had become a big snowfield that was not close to icemen and animals for so many years, except for the Feixue Pass of the Qin State, who could see some living people, and who else could cross from there.
If there is, I'm afraid that the coffin board of the ancestor of Beidi can't be suppressed, and so many ghost zombies are released.
The people on the plains, both civil and merchant, felt the urgency of the war, and no matter how many times the price of the Qin and Yan armies paid, most of them would never sell the grain in their homes. Although the silver is good, the flower of life is really good.
It was also thanks to Xu Ao's many ideas, and he finally used sweet potatoes and corn to offset the grain and grass that he accidentally burned.
The granary, whose roof was burned with a hole, has been abandoned, and in such a sensitive period, who dares to let the craftsmen enter the military camp to repair it, in case it is Beidi's spies, no one can afford this responsibility.
All the remaining grain in the warehouse was transferred to the bunker under the relatively hidden city walls.
Under the personal supervision of Le Niu, the Qin army transported the grain to the street outside the bunker, and then the Yan army put the grain into the bunker.
Xu Ao and the others originally wanted to follow up to see the bunker inside the walls of Yan Kingdom. was stopped by Le Niu.
Sun Xiansheng, who is not afraid of things, almost took advantage of this to cause some trouble. If it weren't for Xu Hu's blockade, Zheng Gongzi arrived in time. I'm afraid that the two armies of Qin and Yan are about to fight.
Zheng Gongzi was furious but helpless.
After all, he is also a disciple of Yanwutang, and he can't drag him down and cut him down if he is angry, and the punishment of whipping is of no use to Sun Xiansheng, a thick-skinned guy, except for allowing him to lie down for two days, to increase his memory.
Fortunately, there is also a Xu Hu who doesn't want to cause trouble next to this guy, although this person is greedy for money and stingy, he is the one who is the most unwilling to get into trouble, with him, at least there is no need to worry about Sun Xiansheng causing any trouble.
Although Xu Ao is good, he still needs to be honed. is a ghost talent with a lot of ideas, whether he can cultivate a talent or not, it depends on his creation.
Lord Ying Wuyu promised him a bright future, and he had heard of this for a long time. Therefore, most of the powerful families in Great Qin have paid some attention to this fragrant bun.
It's just that the Xu family in Qianhe County doesn't know what the hell is doing, and they still refuse to admit Xu Ao's identity. It made many people who came to the door close to the door have hot faces and cold butts.
Let's talk about the four people of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, these four people have recently been sent out to lead a team to find the Beidi elite lurking on the plains. The two sides have been in contact many times and have suffered losses from each other.
The only thing to be thankful for is that after several battles, the Beidi troops no longer gathered in a swarm, but scattered into pieces and into the plain.
Although the people of the plains were unlucky, at least the baggage troops transporting grain and grass were rarely attacked.
Occasionally, a few times, they were also temporarily dispatched to escort the grain and grass.
It is estimated that the second batch of grain and grass will be able to be transported to Guzhu City.
At that time, presumably the two armies of Qin and Yan could also complete the preliminary run-in.
However, even if the run-in is not completed, the two sides add up to so many elites, and it is not impossible to go north to fight with Beidi.
Two or three days passed in a blink of an eye.
On this day, Xu Ao, who was helping to unload the grain and grass, met an old acquaintance. Sunset closes the girl with a single gun and a vitex leaf that breaks into the enemy line.
Even though it was winter, the peony girl was still wearing a tight black robe worn by the sunset, and the spear was wrapped in cloth and carried on her back.
Except for a symbolic smile when he saw Xu Ao, he never communicated with Xu Ao again until his back disappeared in front of the gate of the City Guard Mansion.
Xu Ao's desire to take the opportunity to inquire about Xi's current situation came to naught.
By the time Xu Ao and the others returned to the City Guard Mansion after unloading the grain, Miss Mu didn't know when she left Lonely Bamboo City.
Only General Yan Jiangle and General Qin were left in the main order, sitting upright, and there was a letter on the central table that had obviously just been opened.
Nearly 200 disciples of Yanwutang and Qin Yan and generals filled this hall to the brim.
The letter on the table, as Xu Ao and others expected, was the order of Qin and Yan to order the Northern Expedition.
On the first day of the lunar month, that is, five days later, it was the day when the Northern Expedition of the two monarchs began.
At that time, the two armies of Qin and Yan went straight to Yanbei and drove the Beidi group of savages back to the north of the uninhabited ice field.
At the same time, there were two orders attached to the back of the letter, one was to officially appoint Zheng Anping, the son of the uncle, as the general, and the former general Qin Baili as the supervisor. The disciples of Yanwutang have their own titles.
The second order made those Iron-Blooded Road disciples a little happy. King Qin ordered that as long as this Northern Expedition could make enough meritorious deeds, these criminals would be able to completely get rid of the sharp sword hanging on the tip of their heads. From then on, he enjoyed the same treatment as a disciple of the money road.
For a while, everyone on the Iron Blood Road was either happy or hugged each other and cried.
