Unparalleled Concubine

"Then at least forty miles, try to fifty miles."

Li Xin is still a very talkative boss, he said calmly: "If someone can't reach this number, let him go back to the capital right now, and Ben Houye will give him the travel expenses."

Zhao Jia lowered his head slowly.

"Yes, this subordinate will go down and deliver the order!"

Chapter 505 The three of us are all my teachers

The war in Hanzhong fell into a stalemate. Ever since Li Shen and Li Yan withdrew from Hanzhong City, Hanzhong never took the initiative to go out of the city to attack, but just defended with all its strength. Ye Ming on the other side was not too anxious, and he was still not in a hurry. slow attack.

Even so, because there are not so many defenders in Hanzhong, and Ye Ming's subordinate is a serious king, the people in Hanzhong have been citizens of the Great Jin Dynasty for more than 30 years, and it is even more impossible to help Meng Qi defend the city. After a month or two, Hanzhong was already on the verge of collapse.

On one side, the city of Hanzhong was about to be broken, and on the other side, Li Xin also led more than 4 people to Didao.

The Yinping ancient road, starting from Di Dao, leads directly to Jiangyou Pass in the hinterland of Shu. According to ancient books, it is more than 700 miles, and the actual measurement of later generations is more than 250 kilometers, which is more than 500 miles.

But these more than 500 miles are more difficult than the [-] miles on flat land.

In another world, when Deng Ai crossed the Yinping Ancient Road to Motianling, none of the soldiers dared to go. It was he himself who wrapped himself in felt and rolled down the slope, leading the people over Motianling abruptly. .

It shows how difficult this ancient Yinping road is.

In fact, in this era, Ye Ming was the first general who wanted to take this road. Before him, even the Marquis of Pingnan, Li Zhijie, had no idea of ​​taking this ancient Yinping road.

Li Xin's troops eventually camped in Didao.

At this time, it was already the end of September, and there were still three months until the end of the year.

At the beginning of the year, Li Xin promised the eldest princess that he would definitely go back to Beijing during the Chinese New Year. At that time, his thought was that the war in the Southwest might drag on for a long time. At least, at that time he could get away and go back to the capital to celebrate the new year.

But in the current situation, it will take at least one or two months before they cross the Yinping Ancient Road. By that time, the Chinese New Year is about to come, and it must be too late to go back.

In order to prevent fires in the backyard, after camping near Didao, Li Xin was going to write a letter to his wife who was far away in the capital to explain, so that he would not be able to enter the gate of Jing'an Hou Mansion in the future.

Just as Li Xin was writing at his desk, Zhao Jia, who was his dog-headed military adviser, walked in, slightly bent over and said, "Master Hou, there are some people from Shu who want to see you outside the tent."

Li Xin stopped the brush in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Let them in."

Not long after, three capable-looking people walked in. These three people were all about 24 or [-] years old, and they were considered the most energetic age in this era.

Li Xin asked someone to move a few chairs for them, and they sat down without any pushback.

Li Houye asked with a smile: "How many surnames are Gao?"

Among the three people, two were silent, and the first person bowed his head slightly to Li Xin, and said, "Returning to Lord Li, the villain's name is Mu Wu."

After speaking, he looked back at the two people beside him, and continued: "These two are two brothers, one is called Wang Hu and the other is called Wang Bao."

"According to the order of the master's family, I have been waiting here for Lord Hou for many days."

Deng Ai had suffered heavy casualties when he crossed the Yinping Ancient Road, Li Xin naturally would not think that he was much better than Deng Ai, and he might even get lost if he rushed in hastily, but since Li Xin accepted this errand, he naturally has his confidence.

This Yinping ancient road was told by several hunters to Ye Ming. It is naturally very difficult for those who have not walked before, but for the native Shu hunters, it may not be difficult.

So Li Xin wrote to Mu Ying early in the morning, asking him to help find a few Shu people who are familiar with this place to help guide the way. One step is waiting in Didao.

"Thank you for your hard work. Later, the Marquis will arrange good wine and meat, and give you a tooth-beating sacrifice."

Saying this, Li Houye stretched out his hand with a smile.

"Please, brother of the Mu family, give me the letter from the Marquis to Mu Ying."

When marching and fighting, the most important thing is to be cautious, especially at this kind of pass, you must be more cautious.

These few people are Li Xin's guides on the Yinping Ancient Road. If they are spies sent by the Pingnan Army, if they deliberately lead the wrong way, they may trap Li Xin's tens of thousands of people in the mountains, and they may even It will cause heavy losses to Li Xin's department.

Therefore, proper authentication is a must.

Mu Wu took out two sweat-stained letters from his inner pocket, held them in both hands and handed them to Li Xin.

"Here is a letter from Lord Hou, and the other is a reply letter from the master to Lord Hou."

Speaking of this, he was a little embarrassed, lowered his head and said: "I am afraid that this thing will be lost, so I keep it close to my body. Please don't dislike it, Lord Hou."

It was just past summer, and it was still hot when the three of them walked this way, and they definitely didn't take a bath during the process, so the smell of these two letters was...complicated.

Li Xin reached out to take the two complicated letters, and didn't mind. First, he opened the letter he wrote to Mu Ying, compared the marks he deliberately made on the back of the letter paper, and then threw the letter aside. Then he opened the reply letter written by Muying, and after reading it briefly, he threw both letters to the dog-headed military division at the side.

Zhao Youan clamped them with two fingers, with a delicate expression.

This guy has a little bit of cleanliness, he can't see these things, so he can only squint his eyes and look at them from a distance.

Li Xin didn't mind much, he turned his head to Mu Wu and said with a smile, "Are you the brother of Mu Ying?"

Mu Wu lowered his head slightly.

"Don't dare, it's already far away from the main line. I just hunted for a living since I was a child. The road that Hou Ye wanted to take, when there were no mountain goods, the villain walked with my father a few times, so the master asked the villain to come over. Lead the way for Master Hou."

He was more able to talk, and continued: "These two brothers are hunters who have been hunting on this road since they were young. They live near Motianling and are also friends of the villain, so they brought them here together to guide the Lord Hou. .”

In this way, Li Xin relaxed a lot.

He had already prepared a lot of topographic maps of the Yinping Ancient Road in advance, coupled with the psychological preparation in advance, and these three hunters leading the way, this trip to the Yinping Ancient Road was not to mention walking on flat ground, at least not too many people would die.

Thinking of this, the smile on Li Xin's face became heavier. He smiled at Mu Wu and said, "Brother Mu, there are nearly [-] people under Benhou's command. How long will it take to go from Yinping to Jiangyou?"

Here, Li Xin still kept an eye on it.

Once the army exceeds 1, it is impossible to see the edge at a glance. Unless you stand on a high place, no one can tell how many people there are. Li Xin deliberately said that it is [-]. Even if there are problems with these three people, what they get is false information.

Even if the three of them have no problem, there is no difference between 1 and 5 people.

This kind of small thinking seems inconspicuous, but if it can be used, you still have to use it. Sometimes it will have miraculous effects. These methods are not self-taught by Li Xin. He was able to go smoothly in the workplace in his previous life. Played a lot of role.

Mu Wu lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "There are so many people crossing Motian Ridge, so we need to build bridges and pave roads. If Lord Hou is willing to cooperate with us, it will probably take about two months to cross."

Master Li smiled slightly.

"Then trouble the three brothers, three brothers, let's go down and thank you, fix it, we will start to enter the mountain in three days."

Both Mu Wu and the Wang family brothers stood up, bent over and clasped fists at Li Xin.

"The villain waits to leave."

After the three of them left the handsome account, Li Xin looked back at Zhao Jia who was still pinching the letter carefully with two fingers, and said a little speechlessly, "Brother You'an, why are you doing this?"

Zhao Jia took a deep breath and put the two letters aside.
