The mountains and forests here are too dense, and the magnetic field may be very chaotic, so the compass will not work at all. If you want to go out, you really need the local barbarians to be your guides.
"Send the order, set up camp on the spot, and cut down all the surrounding trees for me!"
After Fan Hu received the order, he immediately went down to do it.
But Tang Long had a worried look on his face: "Your Highness, the military rations we bring with us are limited, and I'm afraid it's not an option to continue spending them like this."
Zhao Rui knew very well that the 50,000 troops he led were the best among the best among all the vassal states in the world.
It would be too useless for such an elite team to get lost in the mountains and forests.
"Collect all the food and grass and distribute them uniformly! Find a few more people to look around and see if you can find the local barbarians."
The 100,000-strong army led by Shan Xin and Li Fei was currently marching rapidly along the edge of the eastern mountain forest.
A considerable part of their army were Huns.
These people had fought against the barbarians many times and had entered the mountains and forests more than once, so they knew how terrifying it was.
Not only are the roads rugged and it is often difficult to find your direction, the climate is also extremely cold. Once you get lost there, you are likely to freeze to death in the wilderness.
With the persuasion of these people, Shan Xin and Li Fei did not rush into the forest, but relied on the edge and took a detour into the Yanshan Mountains.
This road was used by the Xiongnu envoys when they were on their mission to Beiyan. Although it is safe, it would take at least two months for a hundred thousand troops to bypass Yanshan.
Shan Xin's character has always been very calm. Rather than risking entering the mountains and trapping an army of 100,000 men, it would be better to take a detour to Yanshan Mountain.
Even if Jicheng falls, he will find a way to recapture it.
Besides, Zhao Rui has already led an army of 50,000 people to go ahead. With Zhao Rui's ability, even if he cannot repel the three-party coalition, it is more than enough to save Jicheng.
But Shan Xin didn't know that Zhao Rui was already trapped in the dense forest at this moment.
In Dashang Imperial City, Murong Bing came to Zhao Rui to give an urgent memorial, and the dark clouds that had been silent in his heart for the past two days instantly dispersed.
Without thinking, she directly ordered Bai Hua to mobilize troops from the Longtian camp to march westward against Rongdi.
But Bai Hua had just left when Sima Shang's urgent documents arrived in the imperial study room.
Liang Guo suddenly mobilized troops and horses and marched eastward along the Shangtian River, with unknown intentions.
Murong Bing suddenly became nervous. All the generals who could be used at this moment were sent out. If Liang suddenly launched an attack at this time, she would really be unable to resist.
Fortunately, Sima Shang's memorial said that Liang's 300,000 troops seemed to have entered the borders of Southern Qi.
This made Murong Bing temporarily relieved and ordered Sima Shang to continue to investigate and at the same time consolidate the city defenses of the five southern counties.
After exhaling a long breath, Murong Bing leaned on the chair, exhausted both physically and mentally.
I originally thought that by recruiting so many talents, I could hand over all the tedious state affairs, but I didn't expect that it would still be so tiring.
Especially during this period, her heart was always in her throat, for fear of making a mistake.
After resting for a while, Murong Bing suddenly thought of something and led several Qianyu guards straight to Xiao Yu'er's palace.
The queen's palace has indeed become a little deserted recently, not because Murong Bing deliberately targeted it, but because Xiao Yu'er drove away all the maids and eunuchs around her and replaced them with Qian Yuwei.
The child in her belly is Zhao Rui's. This is a major matter of national importance and must not be known to outsiders.
Otherwise, everything Zhao Rui has worked hard for for Dashang may be in vain.
