Chapter 259 Yanzhou Military Camp (please ask for monthly tickets for more updates)
There is also a temple built on the other side of the snowfield.
At this point, the earth finally began to rise and fall.
The hills, which are tens to hundreds of feet high, have gentle curves. As spring approaches in March, they are already covered with green grass. It seems that horses can walk up even the steepest slopes diagonally.
Temples are built on these hills.
The grassland has been frozen for more than ten years. After the snow melts, the original official roads naturally appear.
One person, one cat and one horse walked along the Guanma Avenue from Heyuan to Yanzhou. When they reached the foot of the mountain, they already saw the boundary monument between Hezhou and Yanzhou. However, looking further ahead, the road
No one has left for more than ten years, and it has long been covered with green grass, making it impossible to distinguish it.
The Taoist led the bay-red horse and continued forward.
The cat walked carefully in the grass, stopping from time to time and looking around, not knowing what movement attracted it.
You can vaguely see the direction of the original road.
Because there are rolling hills on both sides, and there is only this passage in the middle, the road will naturally not go over the mountains for no reason, but will naturally pass through the middle.
It took a total of one day to get out of Heyuan.
It took another half day to see the checkpoint.
The checkpoint is built against the mountain and guarded by elite soldiers.
The defenders are guarding both the north and the south. At this time, no one dares to take it lightly.
The soldiers on the city tower saw a man and a horse coming from the direction of Heyuan from a distance. They were alert and frightened. They even had their crossbows strung. After taking a closer look, they hurriedly reported to the captain.
When the captain saw it, he immediately called the guard.
When the general came, the Taoist had already arrived at the pass.
Looking down, I saw that there was not only a person and a horse coming, but also a calico cat at my feet. However, the cat was too small and was hidden in the grass. It was difficult to see clearly from a distance.
The guard didn't immediately tell the people around him to relax their vigilance. He thought for a moment and then shouted to the bottom:
"Who is coming?"
Song You raised his head and looked at the guard, raised his hand to salute, and replied honestly: "My surname is Song, and I am a Taoist from Youfang. I came from Hezhou and wanted to go to Yanzhou. I have an ultimatum written in the handwriting of the governor of Pujun as proof."
"Where is the Taoist?"
"Yizhou Lingquan County."
"..."
Hearing this, the general couldn't help but turn his head left and right, exchanged glances with the people around him, and then continued to ask: "Hezhou is separated from this by Heyuan, and Heyuan is already occupied by demons, how can you survive?"
"The great demon of Heyuan has been eliminated."
"Has the great demon really been eliminated?"
"The snowfield has melted, doesn't the general know?"
"..." The general's eyes flickered, "Where did Mr. come from before Hezhou?"
"Go back to the general, come from Changjing."
"But Elm Street?"
"Back to General, it's Willow Street."
"It's really Mr. Song!"
The general shouted and waved immediately. Someone beside him shouted to open the city gate. The general shouted to the people below: "Mr. Song, don't be offended. Monsters are cunning and are often good at deceiving people. Although we already know that Mr. Song may
Come on, I already know that the ice and snow in the Heyuan have melted, but I am also afraid that there are demons that have not been eliminated, and I want to use tricks to escape, so I have to be more cautious!"
"Don't dare."
A heavy knocking sound gradually came from inside the door.
Song You looked around.
This pass is quite impressive and the city gate is large. You can imagine that before the demons in the snow plains started to cause trouble, this pass served as the main transportation route from Hezhou to Yanzhou. I don’t know how many people came in and out from here. Now the south end of the pass is facing
Not only is it overgrown with weeds, but along the way I have also seen broken bones that have not been cleaned up. Some of them can be clearly identified as not belonging to humans, so it is conceivable that occasionally there are little monsters and monsters that have mingled with the gods of the temple.
He was on alert and intended to go north from now on. He was discovered by officers and soldiers and killed in front of the pass.
Just like the policemen in the city usually investigate human cases and sometimes catch monsters, the defenders here not only guard against the eighteen tribes of Saibei grassland, but also guard against monsters in the snowfield.
Dayan followed the route of elite troops. The elites of the frontier army were mainly warriors. They were already full of blood and strong in martial arts. In the army, they developed a courageous and evil spirit. In addition, they were equipped with armor, strong bows and crossbows. They were like ordinary tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves.
Or the little monsters who have just attained enlightenment are really not enough to watch.
"Bang..."
The city gate in front of you has been completely opened.
On the left and right sides of the pass stood a group of soldiers, all of whom were tall on one side. Their armor probably weighed dozens of kilograms, and their faces could not even be seen in their helmets. The leader was a tall general, and behind him stood several minors, both generals and minors.
The school gives people a strong sense of oppression, but they treat everyone with courtesy.
"Last General Pu Zhengye, please forgive me for the delay, sir!"
"The general's words are serious. It is people like the general who are dedicated to their duties that can keep the peace of Dayan. How can I forgive you?" Song You saluted him.
"Sir, please come in!"
General Pu made an invitation gesture to him, followed him into the Guancheng Gate, and then said: "I received a letter from General Chen Ziyi last year. If a Taoist comes with a bay-red horse and a
A calico cat came from Heyuan and was about to go to Yanzhou. The demon in Heyuan has been pacified and ordered us to be polite and let him go. We have been waiting here for a long time, but when the husband came, we still almost couldn't believe it.
"
In one sentence, he explained not only why he knew he would come, but also why he and others were extra cautious despite General Chen's letter.
I am afraid that when they received General Chen's letter, they did not dare to believe it. However, because of General Chen's prestige, they did not dare to be scornful and informed the entire army. However, they waited and waited, but from summer to autumn, and from the fifth year of Mingde,
I waited until the sixth year of Mingde, and now spring has begun.
I'm afraid I've long thought that the Taoist would never come.
"General Chen is interested." Song You said, and then asked, "I wonder if General Chen is okay?"
"It should be safe. I just received an order from General Chen from the border two months ago, saying that the pass must be strictly guarded to prevent small groups of rangers or monsters from the north of Saibei from passing by, entering the snowfield, and interacting with the monsters in the snowfield.
The inside should cooperate with the outside to stir up even greater chaos."
"What about the border war?"
"The details are not clear. It seems to be very fierce, but since General Chen has returned to the north, he will naturally win."
"I see."
Song You listened thoughtfully.
General Pu did not dare to neglect him, but also wanted to know what was going on in Heyuan, so he ordered people to kill the cattle and sheep and prepare a banquet in the big tent to entertain him warmly.
This time it was not as urgent as the last time at Beifeng Pass. In addition, Song Yu had just arrived in Yanzhou and was not familiar with the place. He also had some questions that he wanted to ask, so he answered. It happened that in the past two months in the snowy field, not only had he not slept in a bed, but he had also
If you haven't had a proper meal yet, you should rest for a day.
That night, in addition to General Pu, Song You and Calico Cat, there were only a few confidants sitting in the big tent, and some soldiers brought good wine and meat.
The wine was all from big jars, served in big bowls, and the meat was all from big lumps of meat, either boiled or grilled. A brazier was lit in the middle, reflecting the swaying fire in the tent. The general said
His voice was loud, and he suddenly had the heroic spirit of a military camp, something Song You had never experienced before.
The host and guest first toast and say a few polite words.
Use a knife to cut the meat, and Song You will give it to Sanhua Empress first.
"Sir, are you particular about cats?" The general saw the Taoist's attitude towards cats.
"What the general doesn't know is that this extraordinary cat is Sanhua Empress. She was originally the cat god of Yizhou. She has great magical powers and vast supernatural powers. It's thanks to her that she has come all the way." Song You explained.
"Oh? It turns out to be Empress Sanhua!" The general and the colonel were both shocked, "I wonder if Empress Sanhua understands human language?"
"Of course I understand."
The general was stationed here and must have seen many monsters and ghosts. Unlike the southerners, Song You had no need to hide it from him.
"That would be rude of you, General. You should give Empress Sanhua a desk!"
"That's not necessary, as long as Sanhua Empress is with me."
Song You lowered his head and looked at Mao'er.
The cat put a paw on his leg and raised its head to stare straight at the speaking general.
After a while, Song You asked:
"I wonder how far this place is from the northern border? What is the boundary from here?"
"This place is only six or seven hundred miles away from the border. From here to the north, there is a grassland called Doda. Most of the place is designated as official pasture to raise horses for the army and there are also herdsmen. If you follow the main road, sir
It doesn't matter if we leave, but the weeds grow wildly in spring, and sometimes we can't find the way. If you go deep into the grassland, don't panic if you meet a herdsman, they will probably invite you to the tent for a drink."
General Pu laughed a few times as he spoke, feeling heroic in his heart, and then said, "Yanzhou has belonged to our Central Plains as early as the Yu Dynasty. The herdsmen are both northerners and Central Plains people. It doesn't matter if you don't understand the language. They will definitely pull Mr.
You keep talking, it doesn't matter whether you listen or not, as long as there is a living person, they will be happy."
"The people here are very enthusiastic."
"That is!"
General Pu paused as he spoke: "But if you accidentally enter the official ranch, sir, the horse, well, I will write a letter to you soon, so naturally no one will dare to embarrass you."
"Thank you very much."
"Sir, it's just the right time for you to come," said another primary school student below. "The eighth day of next month is the Doda Horse Racing Festival. People from the whole grassland will gather together and it will be very lively, especially, especially the people on the grassland.
People from the south have different temperaments, they are good at singing and dancing, and they are good at singing and dancing. People who come from the south will be shocked if they go to the horse racing festival."
"Is there also a horse racing festival now?"
"Of course we have to do it." Xiao Xiao said, "The monster is a monster, the war is a man-made disaster, and the horse racing festival is a big deal. As long as the Eighteen Divisions of the Northern Saipan haven't come over, we have to do it."
"Then you really should go and see it."
"If you want to go, sir, we can send someone to take you there," General Pu said.
"That's not necessary, just let it happen." Song You said with a smile, "I just want to take a walk on the grassland and enjoy the grassland scenery that you can't see in the south."
"Haha, Mr. Benyi."
Everyone drank and talked, and then talked about the snowfield.
It's just that Song You is really embarrassed to brag too much, so he only gives a general outline and hits the specifics. If he wants to pass the two-day level, he will send a detective horse to see it.
Talking about the plague in Guijun, talking about the miracle doctor Cai, and talking about the heroes of the Changqianmen, they all make people sigh with emotion.
The conditions here are not good. There are no people who specialize in singing and dancing. There is only one general who plays the copper pipa and sings heroic lyrics with a broken gong voice. It is like the setting sun on the grassland this evening, reflected in the nine tunes and ten songs.
In the stream of Eight Bends, some junior high school students were drunk, shouting a few times, or dancing with swords to cheer up. Their swordsmanship was not as good as that of Shu Yifan, but they were all people with martial arts skills. If they did not join the army and wandered around the world,
I'm afraid he can also gain some fame in one area and attract a lot of applause for a while.
Song You and Empress Sanhua ate, drank, and slept all night in the military camp. The next morning, General Pu gave him dry food as a gift, and then they said goodbye and left.
Yanzhou is already ahead, and the road has appeared.
