"General Wei, you also know the current situation in the country..."
"From Beihai Pass to Xingji City, anything can happen in this long distance. Without the protection of the general and the Starfall Legion, I would really have trouble sleeping and eating."
Ha ha.
Wei Junqian laughed.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Not only are you and Imperial Envoy Li here in the team. The Imperial Envoy represents His Majesty. Who dares to use their brains on the Imperial Envoy?"
Chen Xiuzhu frowned even more.
"That's what I say, but how can I guarantee that someone is confused? General Wei, we have to guard against this kind of thing."
Well……
Wei Junqian was thoughtful.
When Chen Xiuzhu saw this, he was immediately elated.
"General Wei, one more thing is worse than one less time. Otherwise, you and the generals Xingluo will escort me to Xingji City."
He looked up at the sky.
"Besides, the Chinese New Year will be here in a few months. When I return to Xingji City, I will definitely entertain all Xingluo brothers at the palace..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wei Junqian had already waved his hand.
"Xingluo is a border guard and should not move without His Majesty's orders. I will accept the prince's kindness for my brothers."
"As for security issues." He pointed to the west with a laugh, "When we reach the border, there will be a North Customs garrison waiting for the prince. Isn't General Huang always on good terms with the prince? He will ensure that the prince has a safe journey."
Chen Xiuzhu was in a hurry.
Who is Huang Shitao? He is far inferior to Wei Junqian in terms of reputation and connections.
He quickly rambled on and said a few more words, trying to move her emotionally and rationally.
However, Wei Junqian talked about it, but either did not give a direct answer or brought up the imperial edict of Emperor Changxing to block it.
Chen Xiuzhu's mouth went dry as he spoke, and in the end he could only give up because he was secretly annoyed.
In the small Baekje Peninsula, it is not far from the capital to the border of Unjue, but the post roads in this era were built around the foot of the mountain, and the winding roads are not close at all.
The group wandered for four days, almost making Chen Xiuzhu sick, before the team returned to the majestic Beihai Pass.
The smiling guard general Huang Shitao had already come out to welcome him.
"The last general has met His Royal Highness King Qi and General Wei."
There was a flurry of polite exchanges between the two sides.
"The post road is bumpy and tiring, so don't say anything. When you get back here, you are back home. Your Highness and all the Xingluo brothers should go in and rest first."
Chen Xiuzhu turned to look at Wei Junqian hopefully, "General Wei?"
Ha ha.
Wei Junqian waved his hand, "Thank you, Your Highness and General Huang for your kindness. I appreciate it."
"It's just that now that the East China Sea Barrier is gone, the defense of Jinlongtan is empty, and General Xiao can't stand alone. The Japanese pirates are very likely to take the opportunity to make a sneak attack. I'd better take the first step, and wait for the victory to return in the future, and then have a drink with the soldiers of Beihaiguan."
The words were not spoken yet.
Wow.
All the Xingluo generals have collectively turned their horses and headed eastward in sequence under the leadership of the generals.
No one even looked back at Beihaiguan.
"This Wei Junqian..."
Chen Xiuzhu and Huang Shitao, who were at the gate of the city, saw complicated things in their eyes, but they could only talk a few words to cover up the embarrassing situation in front of them.
The Starfall Legion and his party walked straight for more than thirty miles before collectively stopping to rest and replenish themselves.
"Is there anyone else around?" After eating and drinking, Wei Junqian suddenly spoke.
"Go back to General, there is nothing around except our team."
"Very good." Wei Junqian nodded with satisfaction.
Since the Starfall Army entered Baekje in early March, he had ordered that the road from Beihai Customs to the capital of Baekje should be firmly controlled.
Not only to ensure the land supply of logistical materials, but also to ensure that the large number of legions can return to the homeland in time when necessary.
Four days ago, Wei Junqian led a team to escort Chen Xiuzhu back to Yunchui, and the Xingluo soldiers who were watching around him expanded their surveillance scope.
It can be said that there is not even a fly nearby except for their group.
After a rest, the long team continued eastward, but that night there were a few missing people.
The next day, Wei Junqian had already left the Great Wall and walked on the vast grasslands of the north.
Next to him, Shen Dazhu grabbed his weapon nervously and kept looking around.
"General, this is Beixiong's sphere of influence. With just a few of us brothers, it's really dangerous."
"Dazhu, you are wrong." Wei Junqian shook his head, "This land has been our Yunchui pasture since ancient times. Have you seen this vast grassland in front of you? We people have been grazing here for thousands of years."
As he spoke, he raised his binoculars and took a distant look at the looming Great Wall entrenched in the Sui Mountains in the south.
"It's just that the empire later made great efforts to build the Great Wall."
"That city wall did block some attacks from the north. But it also trapped the hands and feet of the guards and restricted the vision of historians. From then on, everyone used it to divide national borders."
"The general is right."
Shen Dazhu and other personal guards naturally followed Wei Junqian's lead.
"But general, this place is deserted and inhabited, and it's going to snow again. Where are we going?"
Ha ha.
Wei Junqian laughed and patted his shoulder.
"Snow is a good thing. I hope it will get heavier and heavier. It would be best if it is cold enough to happen once in a century or even once in a thousand years."
As a result, the nomads north of the Great Wall had to stop and look for a place to huddle together for warmth.
Such places are secluded and hard to find, but usually have a unique location to fight against the elements such as snowstorms.
It is almost as fixed as the settlements of various ethnic groups in Xiliang.
As long as he finds them, he will have a general goal for whatever Yun Chui wants to do in the future.
"General," Shen Dazhu said even more nervously, "If you want to find a place like this, just let the legion's spies come. Why do you need to do it yourself?"
Who is Wei Junqian?
If there are three long and two short in the vast snowfield here, the entire army will be in trouble.
"It's okay." Wei Junqian laughed heartily again.
When the Xingluo Army had just moved to Guangxin County, he personally went to the neighboring countries of Nanfeng and persuaded Wanxiang and Baoxiang to send troops to Nanfeng.
"Besides," Wei Junqian glanced at Shen Dazhu, "How do you know that there are no spies here in the army?"
At the beginning of the year, Xingluo moved to Beiguan, and Wei Junqian made a plan to go north to Beixiong.
The whole army had already made preparations well in advance.
It's just that it has been delayed again and again by various things, and it's only now that I have time to implement it.
But spies are just spies after all.
They can find out the enemy's situation, or create some surprises like Ren Ning did with the old Kailun tribe, but they can't play a big role in real alliances or divisions between countries.
But Wei Junqian is different.
He and the Starfall Legion are famous in the surrounding countries.
This trip is indeed risky, but as the saying goes, dangers and opportunities coexist.
When the time comes, whether it's making allies or dividing enemies, Wei Junqian's personal action will be the final word.
"So that's it," Shen Dazhu finally realized what he was doing. He couldn't help but laugh and scratch his head, "It turns out that the little one is talking too much."
"It's okay, let's go."
After saying that, Wei Junqian took the lead and headed north with a shout.
