Chapter 156 Entering Beimang with sword

Xiao Luo stayed in Yuzhou City for six or seven days.

On this day, Wei Yun took him to Yuyuju to eat fish. Yuzhou fish was the best in the world.

It was already summer, and Wei Yun had a slightly plump figure and was a little afraid of the heat. She changed into a tulle skirt early, which made her chest tremble.

Xiao Luo didn't look at it too much and asked with a smile: "Xiao Luo, is this name a scolding for our diners?"

"A beetle eating a book is no different from a person eating a fish."

Xiao Luo has been accustomed to poverty since he was a child, and he has always been casual about food. He can eat delicacies from mountains and seas, as well as leftovers.

“What’s so special about Yuzhou fish?”

"Lingjiang is rich in Jiangtuan, which is big and delicious. In addition, there is also mullet fish, which is not only not eaten in other places, but also rarely seen."

When they arrived at Silverfish House, the shopkeeper indeed recommended the mullet fish to them.

When I caught it, I saw that it was a half-foot-long red fish with bright colors and several fins. It moved its head and tail and was very beautiful.

"Can this be eaten?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "If you can eat spicy food, sir, braised with Yuzhou spices, it will be more delicious than the big carp from the Yellow River."

"Then try it. If it tastes good, you will be rewarded."

The shopkeeper smiled and carried the fish to the kitchen.

A moment later, the mullet fish was served on the table. Xiao Luo looked closely and saw countless green, purple, and yellow spices piled on top, covering the fish body.

He picked up the chopsticks, peeled off the spices, took a piece of fish and put it into his mouth.

The pungent smell rushed up to my nose instantly, and then my tongue became numb.

"Water...water."

I drank half a glass of water to stop the spicy taste.

Wei Yun covered her sleeves and chuckled: "It turns out that His Highness can't eat spicy food."

"No, it's too spicy."

Despite this, the tenderness of the fish still left him with endless aftertaste, and he couldn't help but grab another piece.

This meal made Xiao Luo sweat profusely. After finishing the meal, he rewarded the shopkeeper with ten taels of silver.

After leaving the Silver Fish House, the two of them walked along the Lingjiang River.

The Haijiao Gang's building ship was dismantled by the Jingwu Army a few days ago. The keel was cut into several sections and sank into the river. The scattered decks drifted down the Yangtze River.

After the entire river was cleared, boating resumed.

The weather is sunny and people are in good spirits, and the boats are returning home with flutes and drums at sunset.

Xiao Luo spent the past three years fighting and killing. Only in the past few days, talking about the past and present with Wei Yun, eating and drinking tea with her, Xiao Luo felt indescribably calm. It seemed that someone had shared the burden for him, and he had not

So tired.

Thinking of this, Xiao Luo was suddenly surprised. Could this be Wei Yun's ability as well? Don't be fooled by her.

At this moment, Li Fanxi came with his sword and found them by the river.

"Your Highness, Mu Yumo arrived at Tangmen and said something happened to Li Hanyi."

Xiao Luo ran away: "Go to Tangmen!"

Wei Yun looked at his figure rushing to the ferry with deep thought in her eyes. She turned around and asked the guards to find Wei Lang and Guo Pengju and go there together.

Xiao Luo rushed to Tangmen quickly. Tang Yan, Su Changhe and Mu Yumo were all waiting in Guangyang Hall.

"What's going on?"

"When I sent Sikong Qianruo to Xueyun City, the news about the Sword Tomb was also sent to Xueyun City, and Sikong Chengfeng asked me to bring it to you."

Xiao Luo unfolded the secret letter. The outermost part was written by Sikong Chengfeng, with only a few words: "Your Highness is finished with your work, please come to Xueyun City."

Inside is the fire paint from the Sword Tomb. When it is opened, there are also only a few words: "Please give Xueyun City a helping hand."

There is also a secret letter inside the sword tomb, which was actually written by Ye Anshi. It has been opened and contains Li Hanyi's movements.

It turned out that after she arrived in northern Xinjiang, she passed through the territory of the demon sect and was stopped by a disciple of the sect. They had a fight and alerted Ye Anshi.

Ye Anshi invited her to be a guest in Tianwaitian. The two discussed martial arts for several days and each gained something.

At that time, northern Xinjiang was no longer peaceful, and troops were heavily deployed on the grasslands, with strong intentions to invade the Central Plains in the autumn.

Li Hanyi declined Ye Anshi's offer to stay and insisted on traveling northward, crossing the Yinshan Mountains.

Soon after, the Demon Cult spies lurking in Beimang reported back that Li Hanyi challenged the fifth raccoon dog, the master of Tibing Mountain. Although he won, he was chased by the Rouran cavalry and fled deep into the grassland. His whereabouts are unknown after that.

After Ye Anshi finished writing the letter, he sent someone to deliver it to Jianzhong, which was Li Hanyi's maternal home.

Ye Anshi finally wrote that he had sent people to search everywhere and would enter Beimang to rescue people as soon as he was found.

After reading the letter, Xiao Luo was moved by Ye Anshi's righteousness, but also worried about his safety. Li Hanyi was half-stepping into a fugue, and was not even defeated by the Rouran Iron Cavalry. He was only in the realm of freedom, how could he save people.

If it is not done well, it will become a gang war between Tibingshan and Tianwaitian, or even a war between Beimang and Beili.

If the Beimang people want to go south after autumn, the invasion of the grassland by Tianwaitian is the best excuse.

Xiao Luo told everyone about Li Hanyi's situation and his worries, and asked everyone: "What do you think?"

After such a period of recuperation, Su Changhe's health was no longer serious.

He glanced at Tang Yan: "I will lead the Zhenwu Division to the north immediately."

Guo Pengju said slowly: "In April, when the spring grass closes, the Hu people are herding horses. When autumn is high and the horses are fat, the Hu people will go south. At this time, the Central Plains will be ripe with food. The entire Central Plains has become their big granary, and they will rob everything they can."

Go away and burn everything you can’t take away.”

"If we enter the grassland, we must be prepared for a war between the two countries. What good strategy does General Guo have?"

Guo Pengju arrived in a hurry and did not bring a marching map. However, he had been the temporary governor for three months and knew the border troops very well.

He immediately said: "In the past, the Demon Sect marched eastward and terrorized the whole country. Your Majesty was afraid that something like this would happen again. After the death of the Western Marquis of Old Town, he transferred all the original West Route Army to Yunzhou. With these two hundred thousand elite troops, Beimang

There is no way to go south from Yunzhong City."

Yunzhou is the northern gate of Northern Li, with tall mountains on both sides, but a gentle canyon connecting the north and south.

Yunzhong City is built in the middle of the canyon, which has been an important location for military strategists since ancient times.

As long as the barbarians break through Yunzhong City, they can ride straight down and fight all the way to Tianzi.

"In addition to this, there are still 200,000 Northern Route Army troops stationed in Yuyang City to assist Yunzhong."

Xiao Luo secretly recalled the geography textbook. There are usually three routes for nomads to go south. The east is the best route, as it is a flat river. Obviously, the frontier troops in Yuyang City are defending the eastern front.

The passage in the middle is naturally Yunzhong City, which runs from the Mongolian Plateau through Shanxi into the hinterland of the Central Plains, and then through AH to Jiangnan, or through Xiangyang to Huguang.

Now there are 200,000 elite troops stationed there. If we really fight, we can contend for a while.

Then there is the passage to the west.

Guo Pengju continued: "To the west of Yinshan Mountain is Beiliang. The terrain of Ganzhou is flat. You can drive straight into Beimang, but with the big snow dragon riding on it, Beimang may not dare to attack Beiliang."

Xiao Luo said angrily: "If you don't dare to attack Beiliang, then you will attack Beili."

"I lead the Jingwu Army to the north!"

"That's not right. They have all gone to the north. If something happens to Tian Zi, they are beyond our reach."

Xiao Luo looked at Wei Yun: "Please give me some advice, Miss."

Since she became a counselor, Wei Yun naturally had to do her best. She said categorically: "General Guo and Jingwu's army cannot go north."

"Why?"

"There are three reasons. Firstly, Zizi needs someone to sit in command; secondly, once the war starts, it will not be over in a short time. General Guo will be needed to coordinate the overall situation and mobilize troops; thirdly, if General Guo arrives on the northern front, you will

As the Commander-in-Chief, do the border troops obey your command or the Commander-in-Chief?"

Guo Pengju nodded repeatedly.

"What else?"

"Commander Su cannot go north, so he will stay in Yuzhou."

Su Changhe asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

"Yuzhou and Tangmen want to watch the remnants of Western Chu. From what I know about King Chang'an, he went to Western Chu, which was the beginning of the chaos in Western Chu."

Su Changhe frowned: "Who will accompany His Highness to the north?"

Wei Yun sighed: "Your Highness's number is indeed too small."

"Fan Ye, follow me. Wei Lang!"

"My subordinate is here."
