"Sir, in front of you is Longjiang Ao, with steep mountains on both sides and a valley with a stream in the middle. It goes straight down to the Longjiang plain eighty miles below, and merges into a river that passes through Longjiang City and merges into the Longhu River. It is the Danghu River.
The city leads to an important location in Longjiang City, which is the connecting throat between the ten cities of Longjiang and the mainland.
Although it is not as good as Danghu Mountain, it is still a dangerous place and is easily attacked by the enemy. The Longjiang Pass has been broken before. We have attacked the enemy many times, and both sides suffered heavy losses. Your Excellency, it is better to return to the camp.
safer in.
Because it is a choke point, our troops are not strong enough to defend the Longjiang Pass built by Longjiang Ao. However, as long as either side of the two sides occupies Longjiang Pass, it will inevitably attract a strong attack from the other side.
The cost of defending is too high, so we can only retreat to Danghu City, use the city as our base, and wait for opportunities."
The captain sent by Nanpan leader took a step forward and persuaded Shi Huangzi, who was still walking in front of the entire team. The Nanpan leader soldiers who knew Xuanhu better also had solemn expressions on their faces.
, it seems that what this captain said is true.
And Shi Huangzi heard that the captain no longer referred to refugees as thugs, but as enemy soldiers. It seemed that he had understood that dangerous places were the main offensive and defensive forces of the Gu clan, and they were the real fighting force.
Those small groups that harassed the village formations were refugees and bandits who were motivated by profit or had no one to rely on. The soldiers of the Nanxuan Army finally came to their senses after the arrival of Shi Huangzi.
"Haha, I hope there are really refugees ambushing me. I am the young commander of the Star Legion and the governor of Nanxuan Capital Palace. I have never seen anything like this before.
There are only one, two or three bandits among the refugees. They deceive all the people of our dynasty and force them to become bandits by fabricating incidents. This is a misunderstanding between the people and the officials. As long as I make it clear, how can the people not return?
Commander, you are worrying too much!"
The commander-in-chief tried to persuade him, but Shi Huangzi burst out laughing. The sound was so loud that it could be heard in the ears of the people who came across the road to seek relatives in Longjiang City.
Shi Huangzi said it loudly on purpose, so that the spies among them who had already reaped the benefits and were determined to not care about right or wrong would know about it, and the people who followed Shi Huangzi from Lihuo City laughed indifferently.
After leaving Nanpan to guard, Xuan Fei and the two captains complained helplessly: Do you really think that you are a saint on the mainland, and that you can make all the people return to their hearts by letting out your bastard energy?
The spies among them had always been worried that Shi Huangzi, a young commander named Guan Chihu, was deliberately trying to lure the snake out of his cave, but they now realized that this young commander was young after all, and his experiences along the way had made him arrogant.
Sure enough, within the range of Longjiang'ao, one or two people disappeared silently among the people seeking relatives. These were all discovered by people from Shi Huangzi's direct lineage.
Longjiang Ao, the mountains on the left and right sides stack up like giant dragons, and the streams in the middle of the Ao mouth converge into a lake like two dragons grabbing pearls, so it is called Longjiang Lake.
The water from the lake flows straight down, and the Chenglong River irrigates the Longjiang Valley Plain. It passes through the city and goes straight into the Longhu River. It lies between Danghu City and Longjiang City. It is indeed a strategic location.
If you look closely, you will see that the peaks on both sides are sloping down like dragon heads. There are trees in the forest, and it is easy to ambush tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the forest.
Longjiang Lake is in the shape of a sharp knife like Longjiang Aokou. The broad head is in the direction of Danghu City and the sharp end is in the direction of Longjiang City. Longjiang Pass is at the narrow point of Longjiang Pass, guarding the entire Longjiang Ao.
The entire team was subject to Shi Huangzi's attitude of playing with the mountains and forests, and walked slowly along the lake in Longjiang Aozhong. As long as the Nanxuan three dragons swooped down on both sides of the city to ambush the soldiers and horses, and rushed down, they would definitely be destroyed by that group.
danger.
The two lieutenants and their horses entered the range of the Longjiang River, their eyes alert, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
If under their protection, the first governor of Nanxuan Capital Palace perishes here, what awaits them will be the anger of the entire empire. No matter how things happen for a reason, they will not be able to escape the outcome of being executed.
"Tianjun..."
While everyone was trembling, a blood formation guard who disappeared and reappeared whispered to Shi Huangzi. The boy closest to him smiled, and Li Fei'er smiled.
Because a total of three thousand soldiers from Juntian's two legions, led by Xiong Yi, the commander of the Tiger Roaring Legion, had already arrived at high speed and were hiding in the mountains like a yellow bird.
Nanxuan Sanlong, who originally planned to wait in Longjiang, heard the report from his subordinates. In order to paralyze Shi Huangzi even more, he pulled the entire team to wait in Longjiang Town, the largest town in Longjiang City.
Little did they know that after confirming that there were no enemies in the entire Longjiang Ao, the soldiers and horses of the two captains, Huxiao and Huangque, slowly groped their way in and penetrated into Longjiang Town, where 30,000 people had poured in, and began to spy.
The real enemy inside.
The Three Dragons of Nanxuan were so high-spirited that they turned into the leader of the refugees of a small force. Surrounded by the three hundred Martial Emperors who were the core of the Three Dragons' force, they really came out in full force this time.
After pulling out all the core forces they had worked so hard to pull out, just to ensure the success of the special decapitation operation, Shi Huangzi and his party were no more than ten miles away from them.
"Report, there are 30,000 refugees gathered in Longjiang Town ten miles away, please ask the Governor to take them in!"
The scouts sent by the two lieutenants of the Nanxuan Army led two old men, sat on the dragon's wildebeest, and rushed over, loudly reporting that only the main army was equipped with mounts of high-level monsters such as the red tiger.
Shi Huangzi reined in his horse and watched with a smile as the two old men came forward and knelt down.
"I am pleased that the governor has settled the capital in Longjiang City, breaking down the barriers between the government and the people, and is willing to grant amnesty to the refugees who were forced to become bandits. The refugees who were wandering on the Longjiang Plain heard about it and came to Longjiang Town to wait for the arrival of the governor.
I am willing to surrender to the governor, become a citizen of the dynasty again, and return to the ancestral home of each family. The previous treacherous and unethical things were all done for the sake of self-protection. I hope the governor will observe clearly."
The two old men looked like they were old. The older man spoke up, his voice was trembling, his eyes were clear, and his tone was filled with relief. This was not the core person of the Three Dragons of Nanxuan, but just a person who was truly inspired and temporarily lost in order to survive.
self person.
"Please, sir, don't try to harm Xiao Ke. I have been ordered by the empire to return Nanxuan Mansion to a clean and bright future. The Gu tribe and sea beasts are collaborating to cause harm to the subjects of our dynasty.
Some bandits hijack people for profit. This governor understands this. I am very pleased that you can find your way back.
It is said that the law does not punish everyone and the subjects are the foundation. Where do your crimes come from?
I swear, I will definitely find out those who spread rumors and cause trouble, the scourge of the sea beast Gu clan, and the spies of the human race, and I will restore your innocence and restore the bright and clear world of Nanxuan.
Come, let us meet with the innocent subjects who have been bewitched, and put away your appearance as if you are facing a formidable enemy. How can the swords and guns of an official be so sharp against the subjects under his rule?"
Shi Huangzi turned over and dismounted, supported the two elders, spoke eloquently, and loudly rebuked the soldiers who were standing guard with swords. Seeing Shi Huangzi's efforts to follow the people, he kept nodding in agreement.
The entire team continued to move forward. Under Shi Huangzi's scolding, the two lieutenants also put away their combat readiness, and followed Shi Huangzi slowly and step by step into the pockets arranged by Nanxuan Sanlong.
Longjiang Town is a large town under the jurisdiction of Longjiang City. It is the first town where the Longjiang Plain is irrigated by the Longjiang River. It is only fifty miles away from Longjiang City.
When the weather is fine, without visual obstruction, one can vaguely see large objects 80 miles away. As a city relying on the prosperity of Longhu River, Longjiang City has become a large city among the ten cities along the river, and it is also a county.
head.
Although there is no Thunder Fire City, surrounded by a ten-foot-high wall like Lihuo City, its city wall is also three to five feet high, and can be vaguely seen in Longjiang Town from a normal line of sight.
Knowing that Longjiang City was designated as the capital of Nanxuan Mansion by the Governor of Nanxuan, the city lord of Longjiang City was very happy when they learned that their Governor was only fifty miles away from Longjiang City.
The city lord of Longjiang City wanted to take the people in charge of the city's yamen and, under the protection of patrol guards and mercenary guards, go out of the city to meet their governor.
However, knowing that there were 30,000 refugees in Longjiang Town waiting for Governor Nanxuan, the city lord of Longjiang City, under the persuasion of the mercenary guard captain, gave up his plan to go to Longjiang Town to meet the Governor.
Because the mercenary guard captain told him that the news that Longjiang City had become a capital city had spread throughout Nanxuan Palace, and it must be coveted by all the real forces in the palace.
If the entire city rushes out to meet him, it will inevitably create a vacancy in the city, which will lead to a surprise attack by the enemy and break the city.
Now, what they have to do is to eliminate the suspicious forces in the city, strictly monitor them, and run the entire Longjiang City into an iron-barrel country to welcome the arrival of the governor in the best possible appearance. Not to mention that the governor has three thousand soldiers and horses to guard him.
That strength dares to provoke anger easily.
The city lord's dedication and attitude of considering the overall situation will definitely make the governor ignore the crime of not welcoming him, but leaving the city to greet him and destroying the city will bring shame on the entire Nanxuan Mansion and the dynasty.
At that time, even if the governor did not kill him, he would have no choice but to commit suicide and thank the entire Nanxuan Mansion and the entire Tiger Roar Dynasty.
