According to what is shown on the map, to get to Phoenix City from here, in addition to passing through several cities, you also have to climb mountains and wade through rivers.
The roads in ancient times were really difficult to walk. Although there were official roads, the official roads were not really that safe.
Because some official roads also have to pass through deep mountains and dense forests, but people have walked there before and were opened up, so they are not so primitive and desolate.
The final stretch of road to Phoenix was even more bumpy.
"Phoenix City was recently invaded by the South Vietnamese. The general defending the city sent an urgent message for help. Two of the Ninth Prince's armies have already rushed over to provide support."
Ever since he saw the token in Feng Jiu'er's hand, Huo Yan had no doubt that he regarded Feng Jiu'er as his master and superior general.
Therefore, if he has any ideas, he will discuss them with Jiu'er, and he will tell Feng Jiu'er as soon as he receives any news.
"There is currently no new news coming back from there, and the two sides are still in a stalemate..."
"General Huo, I have a question." Feng Jiuer frowned.
Huo Yan immediately said: "General Feng just says it doesn't matter."
"If there is urgent news at the border and it needs to be sent back, how many days will it take to deliver it to the Imperial City?"
"It depends on which border town it is. Phoenix City is in the southernmost part of Beimu Country. The distance is quite long. The news my subordinates received today is what happened five days ago."
"The signal soldiers at each post station have used the fastest horses and the fastest speed to come back day and night, changing shifts in the middle and never stopping."
"So, even if we travel day and night, the news that falls into our hands now is what happened four or five days ago?"
Feng Jiuer's eyebrows furrowed even more tightly: "Isn't there some kind of flying pigeon that delivers messages, can it be done very quickly?"
"General Feng, we are working hard day and night. This is the fastest speed we can achieve. As for flying pigeons to deliver messages..."
Huo Yan shook his head and smiled: "Flying pigeons are occasionally used to send letters, but they cannot be used to send official documents. After all, the security is not high."
No one dares to make a decision easily when the authenticity of such important news cannot be guaranteed.
Feng Jiuer naturally knew this in her heart. After all, when the army moves, every decision is important.
Making a wrong decision may harm millions of lives.
However, sending messages in this way is really too slow. Without mobile phones and telegraphs, it is really inconvenient.
"I understand, General Huo. If there is any news from Phoenix City, please tell me immediately."
"Yes, I obey."
Huo Yan used to be their school captain, and Feng Jiu'er always had to listen to him. Now that the status was reversed, Huo Yan adapted quickly, but Feng Jiu'er had a little difficulty adapting.
However, I gradually got used to it.
"By the way, I asked you to find someone to spread the news. How are you doing now?" Feng Jiuer asked.
"General Hui Feng, the news that the Ninth Prince is in our team should have spread throughout the imperial city. By now, everyone who needs to know must already know."
The Queen's appearance today was not what Feng Jiuer had expected, but the Queen's arrival did them a big favor.
Apart from the Ninth Prince, there is really no other person in the world who dares to refuse or even attack the Queen.
Anyone who pays attention to the movements of the Ninth Prince will definitely hear this news, and I am afraid that they are already preparing to take action.
"General Huo, please wake up everyone and be sure to take precautions. In this business, lives may be in danger at any time!"
