Yang Feng chased the group of people away, leaving blood and corpses on the snow at night.
When the deserted village fell into calm again, Luo Zheng looked frightened, but his eyes were strange and he said: "Although those people were poisoned and are no match for Yang Feng, don't they know how to separate and run away?"
"This..., maybe they all have the idea that as long as I die faster than others, it's not them who die," Yun Jing said thoughtfully.
After thinking about it, Luo Zheng nodded and said, "That makes sense."
"Continue? There's still half a bottle of wine and half a deer left to finish," Yun Jing said.
Then the two continued to drink and chat.
Jianghu is a matter of Jianghu, and the grievances and grievances between Yang Feng and the others have nothing to do with Yunjing and the others.
While eating and drinking, Yun Jing asked, "Brother Luo, I've just arrived here, and you came a while before me. Can you tell me about the current situation around you?"
Speaking of this, Luo Zheng opened up and said: "Nowadays, the border situation is very complicated. This place is less than a hundred miles away from the main battlefield of the border. We have stationed at least one million troops here in Dali to confront the Dajiang Dynasty. It is related to military affairs. The specific number of troops
I don’t know, but it’s winter now, and there are very few large-scale battles, but collisions between small groups of troops occur every day, but judging from the pattern of previous years, large-scale collisions will not occur until spring.”
"Then the generation at the border was in chaos. The people were displaced and in danger. People from the rivers and lakes came in droves. Some people wanted to get ahead, some wanted to make contributions, and some were just passionate. They collided and fought with people from the enemy's rivers and lakes, lurking and making detours, infiltrating and destroying...
"
"There are also evil organizations that take the opportunity to cause trouble, burn, kill, loot, deceive people, and practice evil..."
"There are also those scholars who gather together and use their swords to hoe the strong and help the weak. However, these scholars are uneven. Some have good intentions and do bad things, some are misleading the people with their rhetoric, and some are giving advice and analyzing the situation, which has deceived many people."
"In short, the situation now is very chaotic, it's like a pot of porridge."
After Yunjing heard the information he said, what should I say? Listening to your words is like listening to your words.
Well, Luo Zheng is just a low-level person in the world. He has certain limitations in terms of overall situation and vision. He doesn't come into contact with many things. Most of them are probably just hearsay. If you want to learn about the situation at the border from him, don't even think about it.
The kind of things that anyone can talk about in a clear and logical manner have never been encountered by Yunjing.
'Master has been at the border for some time, and the goods have probably been transported. Now the border is relatively calm. When will master take action? It shouldn't wait until the beginning of spring. The Dali Dynasty is the main combatant, and the war has dragged on.
After all these years, I will definitely not just continue to drag it out like this. How to break the situation? What kind of goal do you want to achieve?'
Thoughts flickered, Yunjing's sources of information were still too scarce, and it was impossible to analyze the future direction from the only information.
"Brother Yun, what are you thinking about?" Luo Zheng asked curiously when Yun Jing said nothing.
Shaking his head, Yun Jing said: "Nothing, I was just wondering when this chaotic situation will end."
"Who knows, maybe it will be over in three to five years, maybe ten to eight years, maybe it will still be like this in one hundred and eighty years, with batches of people sent away, and the chaos will remain the same. After all, there have been cases in history that lasted for nearly three years.
The precedent of the Hundred Years' War," Luo Zheng lamented.
Yun Jing also knew about the protracted war that lasted for three hundred years. It was a matter of the previous Dali Dynasty. The Dali Dynasty was established after the end of that war.
The Three Hundred Years War, the changing of the times, can be described as a vicissitudes of life. By the middle and later stages, those who were still fighting were no longer the same people who were fighting at the beginning. I don’t know how many times they had changed, and they didn’t even know what they were fighting for.
"I hope the war will end soon," Yun Jing said in a complicated tone.
Smiling, Luo Zheng said: "Judging from the current behavior, either one side will crush the past and win with an absolute advantage, or a peerless figure will appear to reverse the situation in one fell swoop. Otherwise, it will not end so easily."
These two situations are not impossible to happen. Once Dali uses his anger, it will definitely change the situation of the war. But Master Liu has already touched the threshold of that level, and he doesn't know when he will get closer.
Of course, there is no need to talk to Luo Zheng about this. It does not mean that the relationship between the two parties is not in place, but it means that it cannot be said, and it will not mean anything to him.
"What are Brother Yun's next plans?" Luo Zheng asked.
If possible, Yunjing would like to try to find a way to end the war before spring!
Luo Zheng muttered: "Brother Yun, the further north you go, the more chaotic and dangerous it becomes. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to be alone. I wanted to invite you to go with me, so that you can be taken care of, and I've gotten to know a lot of people during this time."
If people gather together, their safety will be guaranteed, but as a scholar, you should not get involved too much with us people in the world, so you'd better leave this chaotic place."
"Thank you, Brother Luo, for your kindness. I am sensible," Yun Jing said with a smile.
Luo Zheng knew that Yun Jing had always been very opinionated, so he stopped talking and said, "Anyway, be careful."
It was late at night, the two of them were slightly drunk and fell asleep separately.
Early the next morning, the two of them ate some food, packed up, and headed north. When they reached a three-way intersection, Luo Zheng stopped and said, "Brother Yun, let's separate here. I want to go northeast."
, there are warriors from the enemy country making trouble there. I have made an appointment with others to go and deal with the warriors from the enemy country, so I will not go with you."
"Well, Brother Luo, take care and remember not to be impulsive. Life is more important than anything else," Yunjing said with a cupped hand.
After laughing, Luo Zheng said: "Don't worry, I cherish my life more than anyone else, and we also made an appointment to have a drink and talk in Jiangnan in the future. How dare you break the appointment and leave..."
After saying that, Luo Zheng strode away and quickly disappeared into the wind and snow.
After separating from Luo Zheng, Yunjing continued to go north.
That afternoon, Yun Jing came to a small town to visit the last person he planned to visit during his trip. However, after he went there, he learned that the person had died at the hands of the enemy's rebels half a month ago. Unfortunately, Yun Jing
Jing can only go to the other party's grave to toast a glass of wine.
The town is very depressed, the streets are air-conditioned, and the occasional pedestrians are in a hurry. Most of the people here are homeless, and the rest are in panic all day long. The rest are doing what they should do. The folk customs in the North are fierce. These people said that the enemy dares to come.
, the one who wields a knife to chop his mother.
After spending a night in a small town doing some simple repairs, the cloud scenery continued northward the next day, and the border was close at hand.
The destination of Yunjing's trip is Xieyang Pass, which is the northernmost pass of the Dali Dynasty. It is the first barrier blocking the northern Dajiang Dynasty, and it is also the location of the main battlefield in the north that has been going on for several years.
Xieyangguan is located between two mountains and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The mountain on the left side of this pass is the starting point of the Cliff Mountains. Thousands of miles to the west are dangerous cliff-like mountains, and further west gradually becomes the wilderness forest. Therefore, it is not possible for the enemy in the north to climb over the cliff and move southward in large numbers.
It's too realistic, unless a small number of elite or martial arts masters quietly cross the mountains and go south.
On the right is the starting point of the Snowy Mountains, and to the east are the snowy mountains that stretch for more than two thousand miles, going deep into the Golden Wolf Dynasty and serving as a natural barrier for the Dali Dynasty.
To the north of Xieyangguan is a fertile wilderness, and a hundred miles away is the Dajiang Dynasty. The buffer zone of a hundred miles in the middle has been like a meat grinding ground, and countless people have been killed over the years.
Although the Dajiang Dynasty did not have a natural barrier like the Dali Dynasty, the Dajiang Dynasty had a developed water system and built a majestic city based on the water flow. Therefore, it was not easy for the Dali Dynasty to send its troops north to break through its border defenses.
There was a large-scale battle in the past two years. The Dali Dynasty wanted to break through the opponent's defense line in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, the Dajiang Dynasty played a cruel trick and directly destroyed a dam. Washed down by the turbulent water, Dali's success fell short and almost fell short.
The buffer zone of hundreds of miles in the middle was flooded into Zeguo.
Xieyangguan is a checkpoint and a majestic city. During peacetime, the permanent population here once reached two million, not counting the garrison.
It should be noted that not far from the customs is the Dajiang Dynasty. The trade between the two countries has attracted many people here.
But now, after years of war, trade between the two countries has long been cut off, and the permanent population has dropped by at least half, turning it into a military fortress.
Starting from the last town coming from the north, Yunjing walked less than ten miles. He encountered numerous field investigations, which were set up on the road leading to Xieyang Pass.
"So that the young master will know that there is a military base ahead, and many places here are forbidden areas. Don't wander around and look around, and behave according to the rules after entering Xieyang City, otherwise the military law will be ruthless!" At the roadblock, a soldier in armor inspected Yun.
After Jinghu registered as a student, he ordered in a cold voice.
After all, he is a veteran on the border. He is used to seeing life and death. Even though his status as a scholar in Yunjing did not make him look down upon or even treat him politely, in the eyes of veterans like them, there is no distinction between status and status. The only difference is life and death with a knife.
It's just a question.
From the roadblock to the north, small groups of troops were stationed every kilometer to keep the road open.
After a few more road jams, Yunjing saw Xieyang Pass.
It was a majestic city standing on the ground like a giant. The city wall was fifteen feet high, and there were a forest of swords and spears on it, giving people a cold and iron-blooded blow.
This place has existed since the founding of the Dali Dynasty, and has even existed for one or two thousand years. It has always been a barrier to the south. It has been repaired countless times and still exists. It has stood there for thousands of years, witnessing history and the change of dynasties.
.
The mottled marks on the city wall seem to be telling an ancient tragedy in the cold wind.
It is a witness and participant of iron and blood. It has nothing to do with Fengyue.
Outside that city, on the south side, a few miles away on both sides of the road, there are military camps that stretch into a stretch, with no end in sight!
"Xieyangguan"
Stopping for a moment and looking ahead, Yunjing strode forward.
