Volume 1 First Entering the Tang Dynasty Chapter 48 Unmanned Village
After leaving Niangziguan and coming to the main road, Lu Chen took Fang Qi, Meng Ji and more than fifty soldiers under his command. It was really like "Kunpeng spreads his wings and flies thousands of miles, rides his horse and whips up his hoof". The leader Lu Chen
"Heifeng" neighed, threw off his four hooves and ran in front, followed closely by Meng Ji and a group of soldiers behind him.
He kept running wildly for more than an hour, but when he turned around and couldn't see his wife, Lu Chen gathered the reins and slowed down.
"Not far ahead is the border of Xingzhou!" Fang Qi caught up with Lu Chen, walked side by side, and introduced to Lu Chen, "Military advisor, shall we enter Xingzhou City?" Fang Qi asked.
"No! Just cross over! Let's go straight to Weizhou without going through the towns in between!" Lu Chen thought for a moment and rejected Fang Qi's proposal. If so many people pass through the state, the goal is too eye-catching. If there are
Liu Heitai's spies will definitely tip off Liu Heitai. The spies' duty is to report any disturbance. As for whether it is beneficial or detrimental to their own side, this is all analyzed by the people above.
Lu Chen leads so many people, and they are elite soldiers at first glance. Those spies who are careful will definitely not let this kind of news pass easily.
"Yes!" Fang Qi took the order, "The military advisor has an order, go straight to Weizhou!" Fang Qi directly asked the ordering soldiers to go down and deliver the order.
Niangziguan is only a few hundred miles away from Weizhou. Lu Chen is not in a hurry, but leads a group of soldiers to bypass Xingzhou City and advance leisurely.
After bypassing Daizhou City, they found a dense forest. Lu Chen took the lead and went directly into the dense forest. At this time, there should be more than two hours before dawn. Lu Chen ordered him to rest on the spot.
When the sky was getting brighter, there were soldiers making rice in pots. Breakfast consisted of several large pots of soup cakes. Of course, the seasonings brought by Lu Chen were added. Everyone was enjoying the meal.
After breakfast, Lu Chen waved his hand and everyone mounted their horses and continued moving forward.
Because we had to go around the town, we mostly walked through uninhabited places. Fortunately, Fang Qi led the way. Otherwise, Lu Chen was not very familiar with the roads of this era. Lu Chen had only read rough maps in books.
, if you really want to put it into reality, you will find that there are some town names on the map. Lu Chen really doesn’t know how to get there.
The rising red sun hung in the sky, and the fresh air immediately made Lu Chen feel good.
"Heaven is afraid of dark clouds and he is afraid of wind~~The little chicken is afraid of the old falcon~~~" Lu Chen, who was riding on the horse, couldn't help humming the duo.
"Commander, what kind of song are you singing? It sounds so good, why haven't I heard it before?" Fang Qi couldn't help but asked curiously when he heard Lu Chen humming the duet.
"This! This is a song I learned in Guanwai!" Lu Chen made some nonsense, but it was not considered nonsense. After all, Er Er Zhuan did come from the Northeast. In this era, the Northeast does not belong to Guanwai.
"Is it Yingzhou?" Fang Qi asked.
"Yingzhou?" After hearing Fang Qi's question, Lu Chen thought for a while and found that indeed, at this time, the Northeast Pass area was indeed under the jurisdiction of Yingzhou, and Yingzhou was under the jurisdiction of Hebei Province.
"That's it! That's a good place!" Lu Chen couldn't help but say when he thought of the black land in the Northeast Granary.
"What a great place! A place where birds don't lay eggs and rabbits don't poop. Some brothers came back from there and said that people can freeze to death in winter! Why do military advisors still say that place is good? If it were a good place, those Khitan people would still be able to visit it regularly
Because you don't have enough to eat?" At this time, Meng Ji on the other side of Lu Chen curled his lips and said.
"That's because the Khitan people are not engaged in production and only hunt on horseback!" Lu Chen looked at Meng Ji's disdainful look and said with a smile, "To the north of Yingzhou, there is a large plain, all black land. If those black lands
Just grow any crops and you can feed everyone in the Tang Dynasty!"
"Real or false?!" Hearing what Lu Chen said, Meng Ji looked in disbelief, his eyes wide open.
"Of course it's true!" Lu Chen looked at Meng Ji's expression and found it funny. "The world is bigger than you imagine. Do you think our Tang Dynasty is big enough?" Lu Chen asked Meng Ji.
"That's natural, our Tang Dynasty is the biggest in the world!" Meng Ji said proudly, puffing out his chest.
"You are wrong! Our Tang Dynasty is just a small area to the whole world. Keep going west, which is where Ban Chao went in the Han Dynasty. It is now called Heiyi Dashi. The territory of Heiyi Dashi is enough.
It is comparable to our Tang Dynasty. Further west, there is the Holy See. A man named Heraclius should be ruling there now, and he is also a considerable force..." Lu Chen briefly told Meng
Ji talked about the world structure in the early Tang Dynasty, which stunned Meng Ji and Fang Qi who were listening on the side.
"That...strategist...you know such detailed information, have you been to those places?" Fang Qi asked with some anxiety. What Lu Chen knew was too terrifying. It was such a far away place, and
Lu Chen also knew the customs and habits of the people there. If he wasn't an immortal, how could he have traveled such a long distance at such a young age? Now, whoever said that Lu Chen was not an immortal came to earth, Fang Qi would be the first to risk his life with him.
"Haha, I have been there! Some of them are recorded in the ancient books passed down by the master!" Lu Chen said ambiguously. If you want to say that he has been there, Lu Chen must have been there. In his previous life, he carried out missions and visited all the countries on the earth.
Ran all over.
"Oh!" Fang Qi winked at Meng Ji. Meng Ji nodded understandingly and did not continue to ask. The things Lu Chen said alone were scary enough. Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing.
, the two of them reached a tacit understanding and did not continue to ask any more questions.
At this time, Lu Chen and others were walking on the mountain path, and soon passed a mountain col, and a village appeared in front of everyone.
When Lu Chen and others arrived outside the village, they found that the entire village was lifeless and in ruins. Several crows were frightened by the sound of horse hooves made by Lu Chen and others.
"What's going on?" Lu Chen ordered people to go into the village to check. Immediately, more than twenty men rushed into the village on horseback. The village was not big, with more than a dozen households in it, so Zhang You quickly took the lead and rushed into the village.
Pegasus came back.
"How?" Lu Chen asked, looking at Zhang You who was riding back.
"Reporting to the military advisor, the entire village was looted and no one was left alive!" Zhang You said with hatred on his face.
"Did the Turkic cavalry do it?" Looking at Zhang You's hatred, Lu Chen asked tentatively. After all, there is a famine on the Turkic side, and it was also because of this incident that the Turks went south to invade the border. If a small group of cavalry infiltrated,
