Inside Sanshan Pass, a huge map was opened in front of Emperor Xin, and the ministers below were Huang Feihu, Su Quanzhong, Yu Hua, Hong Jin and others.
"Your Majesty, now that I heard that Grand Master is in Beihai, we will take a detour to Sanshan Pass this time, which has already delayed a lot of distance. I hope your Majesty will go on the expedition as soon as possible."
Huang Feihu said, and Di Xin nodded. The delay in Sanshanguan was more than a month this time, which was really too long.
There is actually another reason why Emperor Xin doesn't want to leave, and that is what Emperor Xuanyuan said before, if he is in trouble, he can go to the Shiwan Mountains to look for the Shennong ruins, where there is something the king wants.
It took Di Xin more than a month to clean up a small Wuxi Barbarian. If he went to the deep forest, he would definitely be involved with the Witch God Sect in it. I am afraid that this time would be delayed for a long time.
It's just that we are all here. If Di Xin leaves here, he may not be able to come here for a long time.
"Your Majesty, we have a long time to come. The Witch God Sect is very treacherous and deep in the dense forest. Even a hundred thousand troops cannot conquer it in a short time."
At this time, the only one who can really persuade Di Xin is Huang Feihu.
Di Xin glanced at Huang Feihu and said, "At this point, I can only give up."
Then he thought of another thing and said, "Where is Ji Fa, the son of Xibohou, now?"
Emperor Xin was worried about Taijiang, and he thought of Ji Fa who was helping Emperor Xin catch cattle, so he immediately asked about it.
"The news came a few days ago that Ji Fa's whereabouts are a mystery. All we know is that he is still in the hinterland of Xirong and seems to have disobedient intentions."
Huang Feihu thought for a while, and then added this sentence. Simply catching a cow should not make the king wait for so long, so it must be a scam.
Thinking of Mrs. Taijiang and the imprisoned Marquis Xibo, Emperor Xin snorted coldly.
"According to Gu's decree, we urge Xiqi to collect the food and wages for the Northern Expedition as soon as possible. Gu is planning to detour to Qinglong Pass and go to Tongguan. He orders Xiqi to send the food and wages to Tongguan, where Gu will check and accept it!"
"yes!"
The herald quickly went down to deliver the order, while Huang Feihu was looking at the map.
Tongguan is located in the center of four passes, and it is also a battleground for military strategists. To the north is Jiameng Pass, to the south is Qinglong Pass, to the west is Chuanyun Pass, Jiepai Pass, and to the west is Sishui Pass.
To the south is Lintong Pass, and to the south is Mianchi.
Emperor Xin saw it very accurately. He gave Xiqi time to prepare without seeming to be coercive. If Xiqi refused to hand over the food and wages, the King of Humans' army would press on the border and easily deal with Xiqi.
Huang Feihu thought about it for a while, but still couldn't hold back his words and said, "Your Majesty, don't force Xiqi too much. If you really force him to rebel, Xiqi will have close contacts with Yitu Rong, Guzhu Rong, Guirong and other Rong forces.
dense."
Di Xin looked at Huang Feihu and rarely told the truth.
"Feihu, Gu Ye knows that Xiqi is powerful and has many capable people to help him. He is far from the Wuxi Barbarians and can be compared with forces like Ba. However, Xiqi has long had the intention to rebel. The reason why he did not rebel is that the time has not yet come.
At this point, I dare to conclude that even if I kill Ji Chang's sons, they will not dare to rebel at this time, or they will not be able to rebel."
Emperor Xin had already seen Xiqi's strategy clearly. Even if Xiqi had some power, it was only a drop in the ocean in the face of the general trend, and it was difficult for him to achieve anything.
Huang Feihu looked at this increasingly mature ruler, and a sense of majesty and reverence arose spontaneously.
…
Three days later, Emperor Xin set foot on the road to Qinglong Pass under the farewell of Deng Jiugong, the commander-in-chief of Sanshan Pass.
This time at Sanshanguan, the biggest gain was the general Kong Xuan, and of course the newlywed couple Hong Jin and Deng Chanyu.
It's just that this couple is not getting along. They are riding on horses and don't even communicate, which is really worrying.
But Su Daji, a witch, saw the problem and sighed.
"My best friend is still in perfect condition at this time. It seems that the couple is not getting along."
What Su Daji said made Di Xin also interested. He opened the curtains of the carriage and saw Deng Chanyu glare at Hong Jin, looking angry.
"Is there a way to make the two of them more harmonious?"
When Su Daji heard what Emperor Xin said, she immediately said, "I have many ways, but the most labor-saving one is to administer medicine."
After saying that, Su Daji took out a small packet of medicinal powder, and Di Xin laughed loudly when he heard it.
When camping at night, Di Xin gave Hong Jin a pot of wine by the campfire. Hong Jin didn't think anything and drank directly while talking to each other. Deng Chanyu also drank a pot of wine by the side.
Di Xin and Su Daji looked at each other with expressions full of success. This excitement filled Di Xin with joy.
Sure enough, after the medicine took effect, Hong Jin, whose face was red, excused himself from being too drunk and went back to the camp.
Deng Chanyu felt dizzy and then went back.
Di Xin hid behind the camp and eavesdropped. Sure enough, after a lot of beatings, the couple finally became husband and wife.
"It's inappropriate for your Majesty to hide here and eavesdrop on other people's husband and wife."
When Di Xin turned around, he saw Su Daji under the moonlight.
When Su Daji was truly charming, it was never her charming and pretentious look, but her look under the moonlight, full of holiness, yet inspiring endless reverie.
Di Xin was a little confused for a moment, but then he regained his consciousness and coughed, "I still have important things to deal with, beauty, please rest early."
Su Daji watched Di Xin walk into the king's tent and murmured to herself, "Your Majesty, when will you take my concubine? Haven't I done enough for you?!"
Su Daji cried secretly, feeling very sad.
[Under the circumstances, Su Daji’s admiration value increased to 70%]
…
Late at night, Di Xin looked at the information about Zhang Guifang, the commander-in-chief of Qinglong Pass, and fell into deep thought for a while.
Zhang Guifang is known as the number one immortal in the world. She is not only proficient in the art of war, has strong martial arts, and is good at marksmanship. She also studied under Jie Jiao and practiced left-handed techniques. She is one of the few general soldiers who can still rely on Wen Taishi in the later period.
What's more important is that he was loyal to the Yin Shang Dynasty. Even if he was desperate, he still chose to commit suicide rather than surrender to the Zhou Dynasty.
Di Xin still admired such a loyal Jiejiao master.
The reason why he is allowed to guard Qinglong Pass is because Qinglong Pass is equally important. It not only controls Xiqi and Nandu's traffic arteries in order to explore the ambiguous relationship between Xibohou and Nanbohou, but also guards the danger of Juelong Ridge.
, controlling the southeast access channel.
Speaking of Juelong Ridge, the most famous one is that Grand Master Wen ordered this place to be abandoned, but Di Xin had read some top-secret information and knew that Jiang Ziya carefully selected Juelong Ridge.
This place is inherently dangerous, with steep cliffs everywhere. Even those Qi refiners rarely come to Juelong Ridge.
And here is a natural paradise. No matter how lucky you are, you will die on the spot here.
"There seems to be something wrong with this Juelong Ridge."
Di Xin had a strong interest in Juelong Ridge and had a hunch that he would get great benefits there.
…
Qinglongguan
"Feng Lin, how are the preparations of the General Military Mansion? This time the king comes to Qinglong Pass, don't be careless."
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, the arrangements have been made."
