Although he was on the march, Yu Wenxuan did not miss any opportunity to get close to Murong Yan. Taking advantage of the Gao family's army passing by a beacon tower on the Great Wall, he came to the "holy girl" dressed as a bhikshuni with full respect.
He sat on the horse and saluted exaggeratedly like a funny court jester, and then started to show off his talents and said: "Since the previous dynasty set up Beizhen, the seven towns in the north have been the first line of defense in the Central Plains against the Mobei barbarians.
, this second line of defense is the 'Great Wall' in front of you."
On top of the majestic mountain, there stood a high platform made of adobe bricks, with a hollow in the middle, and two long corridors winding out from the east and west sides, connected by walls. It seemed boundless and was called the Great Wall.
"The locations of the seven towns mostly correspond to the important passes of the Great Wall. This means that once the seven towns are lost, the soldiers and civilians of the seven towns can retreat directly to the Great Wall in an orderly manner - the entire North Town is actually the war buffer zone of the Central Plains.
, some areas are also divided into the Outer Great Wall and the Inner Great Wall.”
Yu Wenxuan looked at the expressions of Murong Yan and "horse boy" Yu Ke curiously, and found that they seemed to have been attracted by the soldiers waving flags on the Great Wall, so he went on to explain: "That means that this place is safe and can be allowed to pass.
; The semaphore on the other side facing the beacon tower further away is reporting the location of the reinforcements. The semaphore will be relayed by dozens or even hundreds of people until it reaches Qunma Pass."
"That's it." Murong Yan nodded to express her gratitude. Yu Wenxuan also lowered his eyebrows in shame. His eyes did not dare to offend the other party again. He just looked away stiffly and said, "If Mrs. Bai is willing to listen, I can continue.
Tell me something I know."
Just as Murong Yan was about to agree, there was a burst of laughter in front of her.
"Hahaha, it's interesting. Mr. Yuwen is in a good mood today, and he actually takes the initiative to tell us some useful information?" Bai Feng came on a patrol on a war horse: "Go on, this is the first time I am interested in listening to you."
Yu Wenxuan nodded in greeting, and then said: "You thought General Bai Feng would know all these things?"
Bai Feng said bluntly: "What can I know? I'm just a mountain villager, a wandering swordsman, who happens to be a general. I can't make plans. I don't know much about these historical origins and regional customs."
Yu Wenxuan smiled happily and said: "General Bai Feng is really a frank and studious person, so I'm going to show my shame."
He cleared his throat, took a sip of water, and continued.
"Although Yu Wenxuan doesn't know how to lead troops to fight, the important matters of family and country have been compulsory lessons since he was a child. The ministers and gentlemen in the palace, including his father, have warned him more than once that the northern border is an important place for border defense. The rise and fall of all dynasties
They are all inseparable from the prosperity and stability of the Northern Territory. This is a law that has gradually formed since the First Emperor built the 'Great Wall'. For this reason, after my father learned that the chaos in Beizhen a year ago was suppressed by the Yuyi Zhao family,
, he immediately sent me to make peace and seek peace. Unexpectedly, Sima Tu, the national advisor of Qi State, arrived first."
Bai Feng smiled and said nothing, but Murong Yan and Yu Ke listened intently.
"As mentioned before, the location of each military town corresponds to every important pass in the Great Wall, and the Great Wall pass closest to Yuyi Town happens to be near Qunma Pass!" Yu Wenxuan concluded his statement: "In other words
, the direction of this war situation will be seen in the battle for the Great Wall near Qunma Pass. The Yuyi Zhao family cannot control Qunma Pass, so he must divide his troops to guard it, and cannot control the battle situation at will. This is also the case for General Gao.
The result of discussions with Governor Shao."
Gao Jiajun is like a sharp knife, hanging accurately on the enemy's heart.
Bai Feng nodded repeatedly as if he suddenly understood: "Is that why Mr. Yuwen insists on following the Gao family army to Qunma Pass? It sounds like it is indeed a self-consistent reason, and it is related to the interests of the family and the country. It is simply impeccable!"
"There seems to be some overtones in General Bai Feng's words?" After Yu Wenxuan speculated, Yu Ke echoed: "You know why you are following me!"
Yu Wenxuan said: "When adults are talking to each other, why does the servant get in the way?! General Bai Feng, you don't manage your servants well."
"I'm not a servant!"
Bai Feng said: "Okay, okay, Mr. Yuwen is really childlike, and he is actually willing to condescend to quarrel with a little girl?"
Yu Wenxuan put on an embarrassed smile and said, "You... General Bai Feng is really an interesting person."
"Thank you for your love." Bai Feng said.
Yu Wenxuan continued: "There are also Mrs. Bai and this unforgiving girl Akko. If you don't understand anything later, you can come to me. We are not enemies. General Bai Feng must have been keeping this matter
It’s all clear.”
"I know, I know." Bai Feng repeated this sentence twice, his tone getting stronger each time, and his articulation was so clear that it felt deliberate.
——It is a self-evident sense of distance.
Yu Wenxuan immediately rode back to the back of the team in a sensible manner.
"It's ridiculous to take the initiative to show your kindness, but refuse to apologize for what happened before." Bai Feng said sarcastically: "Is this the pride of princes and nobles? In my opinion, it is extremely pedantic."
"Yes, isn't it embarrassing to bow to us?" Yu Ke said arrogantly.
Murong Yan sighed softly and said: "Junjun and ministers, fathers and sons, in the eyes of people like them, I am afraid that only those whose status is much higher than themselves can make them bend. However, I can feel that what Mr. Yuwen just did
He said it from the bottom of his heart and every word was sincere, maybe he really wants to be friends with us."
"Be friends?" Bai Feng smiled contemptuously: "Be friends with us? Let him reconcile with himself first. This feeling of putting on airs everywhere always reminds me of Master. It is just asking for trouble.
"
——Wait a minute, Master?
Bai Feng seemed to suddenly remember something and looked up at the Great Wall.
"Master, have you been here before..."
Use your feet to measure mountains and rivers, and carry your sword to become famous all over the world.
——Youxia Gaozu, he may have been here.
Bai Feng suddenly felt that he was taking Gao Zhen's place on a path he had never chosen.
Murong Yan asked: "Master must have wanted to return to his hometown before he died."
"Is my hometown also Beizhen?" Bai Feng asked herself.
I don’t know, no one can answer this question. However, Bai Feng can more or less understand the wishes of Gao Gao and Gao Xijun.
The Great Wall is not a wall that separates people's hearts from one another, but a road that connects them.
While generations of soldiers and civilians in the north, as well as the people who came here from the Central Plains, built the Great Wall with blood, flesh and sweat, the alien races also became connected because of their common aspirations.
Reject violence in favor of peace, and end war with war.
"This is what I have been looking for, the castle in my dream." Bai Feng looked at Murong Yan and said, "Do you still remember the first dream?"
At that time, when they walked into Yuyi Town together, everything they saw was prosperous.
Murong Yan smiled and said: "I will always remember it."
The two of them were talking strange words, and Yu Ke on the side half didn't understand, so he could only accept them without hesitation, and then secretly pondered them in private.
After thinking about it for three or two days, she still didn't understand, so she went to ask Murong Yan. Murong Yan said that there would always be a chance to explain in the future, so Yu Ke forgot about that conversation for the time being.
Another half month later, Gao's army arrived at Qunma Pass and was warmly welcomed by the garrisoned soldiers and civilians, with the whole hall cheering.
