Blackwater River.

The branch of the ancient tiles and rivers, the largest river in the eastern continent, passes across the north side of the blue mountains. The river is about a hundred meters wide, flowing from west to east, and flowing into the sea.

In summer, the river water is high and turbulent. In the past, there were ships coming and going to transport passers-by. With the defeat of Heishui City, only the broken ships and boats were left on the shore.

In winter, the river water is almost dry, less than one meter deep at the deepest point, and even at the coldest point, the entire river surface freezes, and pedestrians and horses can shuttle through the ice.

Every year when the river falls, the barbarians will go south to plunder. When the river freezes completely, the barbarians will pull out the trophy and rise from the ice.

On the edge of the Heishui River, which is the easternmost part of the blue mountains, there is a sentry pavilion here. In the past, people were left behind all year round. Now, only after the autumn harvest every year, people are stationed here and have begun to pay close attention to the trends of the barbarians.

After Ye Xuan received the notice, he called Zhao Yun and rushed to the Heishui River sentry pavilion with twenty guards in the dark. After arriving, he found that many people had arrived.

As the first subordinate of Ye Xuan and the commander of all the troops in Heishui City, Wu Anguo was naturally the first to arrive after receiving the information.

Nowadays, all internal troubles in Heishui City can be said to be solved, and the main external troubles are the barbarians.

Wu Anguo had fought with the barbarians before and knew the power of the barbarians.

They are usually civilians, wartime soldiers, and all bows, horses, horses, and shooting are good at shooting. They come and go like the wind and plunder them. They are definitely the biggest enemy of the young master as the lord in this area.

"Young Master!"

Seeing Ye Xuan coming, Wu Anguo bowed and bowed, and the three young generals behind him immediately followed him with respect on his face.

"Okay, there is no need to be too polite, they are all our own people." Ye Xuan waved his hand and asked Wu Anguo and others to get up. Although he didn't meet many young generals, he still had a deep impression on them.

The Niutoushan Barracks in charge of Wu Anguo have a total of four teams. The first three are the main teams, the generals are Sun Gang from the first team, Wu Meng from the second team, Wangzhuang from the third team, and the fourth team is the logistics team, led by Tucao.

This time, the generals of the three main teams came with Wu Anguo.

From top to bottom, from several generals to the soldiers guarding the door to feed the horses, they all knew deeply that all the things they had obtained today were from Ye Xuan's people.

As long as you think about the fact that your family has lived a life that they could only have in their dreams, they are all grateful, so how can they fail to die?

In addition to Wu Anguo and his group, the Yue Bu clan leader and the eldest elder of the Shanyue clan also came, and Ye Xuan was a little surprised.

"In the past, the barbarians and the mountain tribe had nothing to do with. Now that the mountain tribe and Heishui City have joined forces, how can we not come to see our future opponents?" Yue Bu said in a deep voice.

Obviously, after a series of things, the Shanyue tribe has decided to work together with Heishui City.

If he chose to go up the mountain at this time, even if he did not suffer from the invasion of the barbarians, he might kill them in the future.

If he was the original city lord of Hei Shui City, he would definitely choose to be a human being with his tail between his legs, but the more Ye Xuan... the more he understood, the more frightened the mountain clan was.

Ye Xuan expressed his gratitude to the people of the Shanyue tribe, and he came to the bank of Heishui River with a group of people, about a hundred meters away from the opposite side.

The moonlight is cold tonight, and you can clearly see the bonfires on that side, and the tents stationed are connected together.

There were many barbarians gathered around the bonfires, eating, drinking, singing, dancing, and the atmosphere was very lively, and there was no nervous look at the slightest battle.

Obviously, the barbarians will not take the opponent destined to be their prey in their hearts, just like every time they go south and go out for a long trip, they plunder and then take souvenirs back.

"What's the situation?" Ye Xuan asked with a glance.

"Report to the city lord, there should be thousands of barbarians gathering at present. The total number is estimated to be similar to last year, with more than two thousand, not more than three thousand." said the garrison official at the sentry pavilion.

"Oh, the number of people is quite large." As the lord of this land, how could Ye Xuan not read the information about the barbarians?

According to records, the number of barbarians coming from this end in the past few years will not exceed this number. After all, the truly rich land is all in the west.

"The city lord doesn't have to worry too much. There were not many barbarians who would go to Heishui City in the past, so they could easily be sent away." The garrison officials thought they were kind-hearted comforting, but they did not notice the cold gazes coming from around them.

Especially Wu Anguo and his party, they wanted to kick this guy down the Heishui River with one stone.

Ye Xuan did not blame the garrison officials for their weak attitude. After all, he was used to being plundered. It was impossible to be tough at once.

I believe that when the news that the barbarians are about to come spreads, Hei Shui City will inevitably be volatile. There is only one way to do this. It is not to pretend to be tough, but to hit it with one punch and one kick.

"How long do you think the barbarians will cross the river?"

"Report to the city lord, due to the abnormal movements of the blue mountains many years ago, it may have affected the river channel. The water surface drops forward year by year, and the time required to reach the lowest point is shorter and shorter year by year. This year, I am afraid that the barbarians will be able to cross Henan in less than half a month."

"In less than half a month..."

Ye Xuan touched his chin, fell into deep thought, and looked at the opposite side of the river with his eyes fixedly.

The others did not dare to disturb them when they saw this, and waited quietly.

After a while, Ye Xuan came to his senses and said to the garrison officials.

"From today, the city lord will arrange a special person to give you, report it every three hours and send it directly to the city lord's mansion. Until the eve of the barbarians heading south, you can return to Hei Shui City. Can you do it?"

"The subordinates accept the order!" The garrison officer was stunned at first. Although he didn't understand why Ye Xuan did this, he still bowed to accept the order.

As for the arrangement of the troops in Heishui City during the barbarians' southward journey, Ye Xuan knew that he was not good at this aspect, so he gave it to Wu Anguo with full authority. He had no doubt about the military ability of this confidant veteran.

Ye Xuan stayed by the Heishui River until the sun rose. He wanted to see with his own eyes what the barbarians who made everyone scared to talk about the tiger looked like.

As the bright sunshine shone on both sides of the Heishui River in the early morning, Ye Xuan saw the scene on the other side.

There are not many tents, but each one is not small. Obviously, the barbarians who can live in the tent are not ordinary people, and most barbarians basically just find a place to lie down and rest.

However, not far behind the barbarians, Ye Xuan could vaguely see densely packed horses. Even if he was not as good as his eyesight, he could feel that these horses were smooth, tall and strong. The barbarians relied on their northern horses and superb riding skills to thrive in the world.

Ye Xuan couldn't help swallowing secretly.

Not long after, the barbarians also discovered Ye Xuan and his party opposite, and immediately started to make noise. They waved their weapons and clamored and clamored. Many barbarians even came directly to the shore, unbuttoned their pants and blew thousands of miles towards the other side.

Ye Xuan retracted his attention to the horse and did not stop for more than a barbarian. He turned around and left coldly.
