Utler has been dealing with the Zhenxi Army for many years, and they are already very familiar with each other's routines.
But just because he was so familiar with it, Utler looked at the Zhenxi Army with a accustomed view. He never thought that the Zhenxi Army got these two crops from the Qi Family Army, which instinctively represented a lot of people. The Zhenxi Army itself also
They also regard these two crops as treasures, fearing that someone will stare at their treasures, so no one is there on the surface where they are planted, but in fact there are soldiers patrolling them all the time.
This is because the Zhenxi Army is too familiar with Utler, and they are just in case he will come and snatch them after he knows the existence of these two crops.
No, Utler personally led hundreds of people to grab grain seeds, and ran into the encirclement of the Zhenxi Army.
It was a rare moment when two armies collided face to face, and the general Utler was still present. If they didn't find a way to catch him, the Zhenxi Army would be stupid.
But since Utler can fight against the Zhenxi Army for so many years and the two armies have never really come to blows, he is not incompetent.
As a result, Utler was seriously injured, and his subordinates desperately tried to save him and fled back to the country of Montal.
This was a real battle in which both sides saw blood.
Utler was seriously injured and is rumored to have been in a coma.
The people of Mengda'er country don't care whether men or women are aggressive. They are a country that can start a fight after "what do you chirp?"
My general was seriously injured by the Zhenxi Army, and the soldiers below couldn't bear it any longer. Without Utler in charge, the Meng Daer army officially launched an attack on our Xiguan.
That's what happened. The two sides are now fighting like fire, but according to the letter from General Zhenxi, the Zhenxi Army is quite capable.
The only worry is that the escape skills of Utler's soldiers are really good. If we run together, the Zhenxi Army will not be able to catch up with them, and the people walking in the woods are more proficient in escape techniques in the forest than the Zhenxi Army.
The worst thing is that Utler's soldiers are very thick-skinned, and they will immediately withdraw as soon as there is a sign of weakness, making this battle for the Zhenxi Army extremely uncomfortable.
I don’t even have the chance to have a face-to-face showdown.
Old man Qi: "..."
After being silent for a while, he finally found his voice and said, "Hey, my dad and the others can't touch this Utler soldier, can they?"
Qi Bao'er knew what her father was worried about, so she laughed and replied: "It's not that far away, it only takes about ten days to get there; but the Mengdaer Kingdom and Qianyang Pass [the main pass where the Qi Family Army is stationed]
】There is a large desert in the middle. The terrain of that desert is a bit special, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get out again. Utrecht's army would never dare to cross that desert."
If you want to bypass the desert and reach Qianyang Pass, you either have to pass through the Zhenxi Army's station, or you have to pass through the Silan Kingdom.
Old man Qi understood what his granddaughter meant and breathed a sigh of relief. Although he treated his son like a stepfather, he was still his own flesh and blood and always hoped for the best for him.
No longer worried, he was interested in talking about the mountains. Old man Qi grabbed a handful of peanuts and peeled them while asking: "Hey, my dear, the Zhenxi Army is fighting with Utler's army. Will your military department have to be busy again?
"
Qi Baoer took the peanut kernels handed over by her father and chewed them. After a moment of silence, she said: "The Ministry of War should not be alerted for the time being. Lu Shangshu is already returning to Beijing, and the military pay owed to the three armies in the west is also coming.
If we transport them to the west, there will be no problem with the food and grass for the Western Army for the time being."
Old man Qi didn't understand the affairs of the court, and he never asked too many questions. Sometimes when chatting with his granddaughter about important court matters, he would immediately change the subject as if to avoid suspicion, such as now.
The topic had already involved the minister of household affairs and military pay. The alarm in Old Man Qi's head immediately went off, but he looked at it and said naturally:
"That's good. It's almost the New Year, and I'm worried that you have to leave Beijing again. Speaking of the west, I don't know where San Lang is now.
By the way, dear, your second aunt sent a message today, saying that your second uncle wants to go back to his hometown. I was thinking, we haven’t been back to our hometown for the New Year in two years, so let’s prepare some things for your second uncle to take back to the villagers.
How's it going?"
Qi Baoer: "..."
Her father's words were ridiculous. She thought her father would say, "We haven't been back to our hometown for the Chinese New Year in two years. How about we go back this year."
"I think it's pretty good, I just have to make the decision."
Sometimes Qi Bao'er doesn't understand the insistence of the little old man and the little old lady. For example, if they give this New Year's gift to the villagers, they will never use the money from the palace, and will only use their own private houses.
However, for the little old man and the little old lady's insistence, Qi Bao'er would never change it without authorization for the reasons of "I'm good for you" or "I'm filial to you". Who doesn't have their own ideas?
If you want to act and think according to the other person's ideas, then even if two people do it, one is enough.
Old man Qi had obviously been prepared. He put down the peanuts and patted the dust on his hands. He took out a list from his sleeve and handed it to his granddaughter, "This is my list. Please help me to see if there is anything else I want to buy."
Qi Baoer naturally took it and discussed it with her father.
Master, isn’t it a bit bad to only give me brocade cloth?
Not bad, not bad, people working in the fields, what do they look like wearing silk and satin?
Then people also need to be dignified when they get married or hold other happy events.
That's right, how about adding one to each family.
OK, add this.
Sir, don’t you think it’s too little to only donate books for this class? Should we also give some pens, inks and papers? Anyway, Zhuoyou and others have them there, so it’s cheaper for us to buy them ourselves.
I forgot about this, so I added it.
The grandfather and grandson were discussing so seriously that if they didn't listen carefully to what they were saying, they would have thought they were discussing some important national or family matter.
But at this moment, San Lang, who was only casually mentioned by his own father, was caught in his first disaster after leaving Beijing.
The army transporting rewards encountered bandits.
The entire Qilin Kingdom is located in the north. In November, the capital city is not cold but freezing. The further you go to the northwest, the colder it naturally gets.
In addition to the getting lower and lower temperatures, the army also has another major problem in marching, that is, the road is difficult to walk.
This difficult walk is not just because of the uneven road, but also because of the snow.
If it snows heavily, people will make holes every step of the way, let alone carriages and horses; if it snows lightly, the road behind the carriage wheels will become muddy and slippery.
No matter which one it is, the speed of the reward-delivery army is at least half slower than the normal speed.
And this slow time difference gave the bandits along the way time to get the news and prepare for interception.
Last night was another night of heavy snow and road closures. It was freezing cold and the sight was blocked. Even if it was not safe in the mountains, San Lang could only order to find a place to rest in the lee of the wind.
But unfortunately, after one night, the snow did not get lighter at all. Instead, it seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.
After discussing with the deputy general of Kyoto City Defense Yingei, Sanyang decided to continue moving forward. After all, they were not stupid and knew that if they continued, the risks along the way would only become greater and greater.
