Chapter 1030: Five Days Running, Changyi Mountain Pass
Chapter 1030: Five days of running, Changyi Pass
About dozens of miles west from the Jiazong tribe, you enter the Pingshan area of Xuzhou, follow the official road to the southeast, pass by the Qingfu and Shimenzhai areas, and then follow the Nanguang River downstream, and Nanguang Downstream of the water, it goes deep into the territory of the Yixi tribe.
Although taking the official road is longer, it is the fastest. The daily distance traveled is at least twenty or thirty miles faster than crossing the mountains. Moreover, Shen Tang directly used the reason of patrolling the fifth road and his status and privileges as an imperial envoy. By directly blocking the route, even if someone notices something unusual, they probably won't guess that their target is the Yi Xi tribe.
By the time his purpose is truly exposed, I'm afraid his purpose will have been achieved long ago...
Chengdu Prefecture, Huayang County, Wang Family!
Wang Hui and Fan Zhize sat opposite each other. Wang Hui's face was somewhat solemn. After being silent for a long time, he finally said, "Brother Fan, the one recently has not made any changes and has led people to continue patrolling." Disaster, can our troops set off?
We have already sent people to urge us several times, and it might not be good if we continue to delay!"
"Our line has been built with great difficulty. If we really lose money, it will be difficult to make up for it! Moreover, they have agreed to our conditions, and the transaction price will be increased by 10%! This is a lot of profit. "
Fan Zhize frowned, "Do you have any news about where that person is?"
Wang Hui shook his head, "Our people sent back news before, saying that he went to Diaomen Village first and mobilized some soldiers and horses, but then no news came back!"
"This is not unusual. He was intercepted twice during his patrol before. He must have improved his memory this time. Although it is troublesome and costly to have a large army accompanying him, it is normal to avoid accidents."
"Brother Wang, don't you think there's anything unusual about this?
How come there is no further news?
If he goes to Tongchuanfu Road, we should get the news soon. If he is still in Chengdu Prefecture, we will also get the news immediately! We have already told the people below, and they will naturally not ignore this matter.
But now, there is no news about this person, can he still fly into the sky and escape?"
"Brother Fan! Whether he can fly into the sky or escape from the earth has nothing to do with us! As long as he doesn't target us, isn't it enough!"
Wang Hui smiled faintly and said, "Maybe he has targeted an official from another government, and a golden cicada escapes from his shell. This kind of thing has never happened before! As long as he doesn't interfere with our affairs, then let him. What are you going to do..."
Fan Zhize rubbed his brows and said, "That's true. I've been too worried recently, so I'm always uneasy! So since you've already made a plan, just follow the plan!"
"good!"
Wang Hui nodded and responded, "This time I'll let Hongxuan and Hongkuo go. You and I will each send a thousand elites! The necessary things have already been prepared! Let's go the old way without being noticed. "
After saying that, Wang Hui stood up and said, "Don't worry, brother, this is not the first time. How could something happen?
We have already taken care of everything along the way, so there won’t be any accidents at all! This trip will only last for a month at most, so we can just stay at home and wait for the money to come back!"
Shen Tang led the army to move quickly without any obstacles along the way. The daily march reached seventy or eighty miles! However, there are two important reasons why it can achieve this speed! First of all, in Xuzhou and In Changning, Shen Tang doesn't have to worry too much about accidents on the road. Naturally, he doesn't need to keep his army on guard at any time. He only needs to concentrate on the journey.
Secondly, Shen Tang has enough military rations. Although he is on the road, it is just like in war. All the soldiers eat three meals a day, and even the auxiliary soldiers and civilians eat two meals a day!
Everyone can fill their stomachs, so all the soldiers are naturally in a hurry for Shen Tang, and there is no reason to complain as they rush all the way!
At such a speed, it only took the army five days to reach the southeastern area of Changning!
"Commander, General Wen from the front has sent people to report that the forward army has arrived at Changyi Mountain Pass. Ask the commander for his next order!"
"Open the geological map!"
Shen Tang shouted softly at the guards behind him. Then, several guards dismounted, unfolded the geological survey map, and held it in front of Shen Tang.
After a while, Shen Tang gave the order, "Order General Wen to cross the Changyi Mountain Pass and camp five miles ahead on the north bank of the Nanguang River! If you encounter soldiers and horses garrisoned by the Yixi tribe, you will directly attack them and destroy them. No one will be allowed to escape!" Order the army to camp in front of Changyi Mountain Pass! Order the scouts in front to check the situation within twenty miles around the army at any time! Anyone who may expose the whereabouts of our army will be detained first and dealt with later."
After hearing Shen Tang's order, the messenger hurriedly went to deliver the order to various ministries.
Changyi Mountain is a barren mountain range that runs east-west, and is also the junction line between Changning and Yixi! This mountain range starts from the important place where Changning, Yixi, and Luo meet, and the Changyi Pass is the link between Changning and Yixi. An important passage to the territory of the Yixi tribe.
After Shen Tang and others cross this mountain pass, they will enter the territory of the Yixi tribe! However, the ancestral land of the Yixi tribe has to continue south, which is about fifty miles away.
Not long after, the army arrived at the location Shen Tang mentioned!
The army camped along the Nanguang River and Changyi Mountain, with three corners attached! Shentu Mou led his troops in the front, Shi Ying led his troops in the west, and Shen Tang led the Chinese army behind. The armies of each side were fifteen miles apart, echoing each other!
Needless to say, the soldiers set up camp and buried pots to make rice. After setting up camp, Shen Tang sent an order for the generals to come to the central military tent to gather and discuss countermeasures.
Not long after, all the generals arrived!
Ordinary tents are basically ten-person tents, while Shen Tang's Chinese army tent is two tents connected together that can accommodate fifty people, and they are even separated into an inner room and an outer hall!
The geological survey map has been hung up, Shen Tang is sitting at the top, and dozens of generals, led by Shentu Mou, Shi Ying and others, are sitting in rows on both sides below!
"Everyone, we will cross the Changyi Mountain Pass tomorrow morning. About twenty miles ahead we will reach the ancestral land of the Yixi tribe!"
"The Yixi tribe does not have many soldiers and horses, so we will definitely win this battle.
However, first of all, we must prevent the surrounding subordinate tribes from gathering together, and secondly, we must be prepared to prevent the Yixi tribe from directly leading the group to escape! Once they escape, although we still capture the Yixi tribe, for us next The battle is particularly unfavorable!"
