Super Smuggling System

Once the meritorious deeds are passed on to the nine sides, no one in the world will know Li Mu's name!

At the same time, the brigade of chariots and infantry led by Sun Chengzong had already left Shanhaiguan, and was heading towards the direction of Li Mu's return.

Chapter 288 Under the Jinzhou City

The wind blows the snow and the cold freezes the Liaohe River for thousands of miles.

The time dating method used in ancient China is the unique lunar calendar dating method in ancient China. The lunar calendar is a kind of lunar calendar, derived from the basis of the heavenly stems and earthly branches. The 60-year cycle is matched with 24 solar terms to inform the world of seasonal changes.

That is to say, in the middle of October in ancient China, converted into the Gregorian calendar month used by the modern plane, the time has already entered November, and it may even be approaching December.

In this month node, winter has come.

In mid-October on the Ming plane, Liaodong has already entered the extremely cold weather where dripping water turns into ice. If people are exposed to the outdoors for a long time without any activities, in this environment, the body will be frozen and lose consciousness.

Looking down from the sky, under the effect of low temperature in winter, the water surface of the Liaohe River is frozen as smooth as a glass mirror. The frozen layer of more than [-] centimeters is like a natural flat road, which can support any livestock, carts and horses to walk on it. Like walking on flat ground.

At this time, there is a team that stretches for several miles on the ice surface of the Liaohe River, braving the cold winter, slowly moving forward along the water of the Liaohe River.

This team was none other than the victorious army led by Li Mu. Ever since he left Shenyang City, he had led this team on the ice of the Liao River, heading home towards Daming.

The frozen Liaohe water is very suitable for walking. You don't have to worry about the phenomenon of breaking the ice surface, and you don't need to care about the wrong direction.

As long as you keep walking along the ice surface of the Liaohe River, you will reach the frontier of Daming.

The only shortcoming is that such a huge team, with countless livestock, property, and more than 2 surrendered Jurchen women, but only [-] Guanning cavalry are maintaining order, and the march is a bit slow. (www.MianHuaTang.la $>>>Cotton, flower 'sugar' small 'say')

...

"My lord, Jinzhou City has arrived."

Along the way, Man Gui didn't have time to rest, he kept riding his horses in front of and behind the team, taking care of the whole team, and when he saw Jinzhou City appearing in front of him, he hurriedly rode his horse and came to Li Mu's car to report.

In the carriage, Li Mu was sleeping in the arms of Zhe Zhe and Da Yuer, enjoying the warm fragrance and warm jade on both sides. The silver frost charcoal in the stove was burning red, and this kind of high-quality charcoal among white charcoal was burning. There is no smoke, and the surrounding air is warm like spring, and there is no trace of cold outside.

In addition, the outside of the four-wheeled carriage is covered with airtight fine fur, which locks the heat inside from evaporating, and effectively blocks the intrusion of cold air outside.

Half of the inside of the carriage is covered with beds. The beds are covered with brocade quilts and covered with thick fur, so that people can't feel any cold and don't need to wrap their bodies thickly.

Zhe Zhe, who wrapped Li Mu with Ban Guo's body, heard Man Gui's report from driving outside, bowed his head and said softly: "Master, General Man Gui said that Jinzhou has arrived."

"Yeah." Li Mu moved a bit, put one hand on Zhe Zhe's plump body, waited for a while, then opened his eyes, and said, "Got it."

The plump Zhezhe who was caught didn't have the slightest thought of avoiding it, so he was grabbed by Li Mu just like that.

After enjoying it for a while, Li Mu sat up, glanced at Da Yu'er who was still asleep, and said to Zhe Zhe: "You two stay inside well, Lord, go out and have a look."

After speaking, Li Mu stood up, ready to lift the curtain and get out of the carriage.

"Master, wait a minute, it's windy outside." Zhe Zhe quickly picked up a cloak beside him, and put it on Li Mu, with gentle movements, like a gentle and obedient maid.

Li Mu gathered the cloak with his hands, then pinched Zhe Zhe's face, and said, "Good boy."

...

Putting on a cloak and opening the door curtain of the carriage, Li Mu leaned out and walked out. As he approached Jinzhou City, the entire procession stopped, waiting for the next instruction.

Man Gui has been waiting beside the driver without leaving. Seeing Li Mu about to get off the carriage, he took two steps to help the driver, and said, "My lord, we have arrived in Jinzhou City."

"Mangui, did Jinzhou City send someone to inquire?" After getting off the carriage, Li Mu glanced at Jinzhou City not far away. The marks left by the Ningjin War are still clearly visible, fully showing the vicissitudes of the city after the war. lonely.

Huang Taiji had been attacking Jinzhou City for a long time, causing heavy losses to the Jurchen Eight Banners. He had to choose to withdraw his troops back to Shenyang to end this invasion of the Ming Dynasty.

"My lord, there is not yet. I am afraid that Jinzhou City is still implementing the strict defense order issued by Master Sun when my lord left. I dare not leave the city one by one." After speaking, Man Gui went on to say: "My lord, otherwise Man Gui Send someone to inform, saying that we are going to the city to rest?"

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Jinzhou City can be regarded as an important town on the Liaodong frontier of the Ming Dynasty. There is no need for us people to trouble them."

Stopping Man Gui's idea of ​​sending people to Jinzhou City, pointing to the invisible team around, he said: "There are not many supplies in Jinzhou City, so many of us entering the city will add burden to Jinzhou City. "

"It's up to the adults to decide." Man Gui nodded.

Li Mu continued: "It's not like we don't have food, so we'll take a rest on the ice of the Liaohe River and wait to see if anyone from Shanhaiguan comes to welcome us."

While they were talking, a Guan Ning iron cavalry came running from the front of the team, stopped in front of the two of them, and reported, "Master Li, there are a large number of chariots, horses and infantry approaching ahead."

Hearing a large number of chariots and infantry approaching, Li Mu smiled at Man Gui: "Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao really came. It must be that Lord Sun received my letter and summoned a chariot and infantry at Shanhaiguan. , sent out to meet us."

This month, it is impossible for a caravan to go out of Shanhaiguan. The weather is too cold to carry out any foreign trade, let alone the Ming army. The frontier defense began to implement a policy of strictly guarding against the Jurchens' surprise attacks.

Besides, the Ming army in the late Ming Dynasty was not good at field combat at all, so how could they have the guts to wander around outside the pass at will.

"Well, the last general thinks the same way, but I don't know which Liaodong colleague is leading the team." Man Gui nodded, looking very curious about the leader of the customs. He has been in Shenyang City for so long, and he is still quite Miss those Liaodong colleagues.

Li Mu also wanted to know, so he asked the Guan Ning cavalry who came to report: "Which Liaodong official is leading the team?"

"My lord, it is Liaodong Economic Strategy Master Sun who leads the team personally." Guan Ning cavalry replied.

"Master Sun came in person?"

Li Mu and Man Gui were very surprised. Neither of them expected that Sun Chengzong, the Liaodong frontier defense strategist, would personally lead the team.

Chapter 289 Night Talk Around the Fireplace (Two in One Chapter!)

The meeting between Li Mu and Sun Chengzong heralded the formal convergence of the two teams.

Naturally, Man Gui will take over the next matter, and it is not necessary for the two superiors to arrange the affairs by themselves. Those who sit in the upper ranks always have to give their subordinates a chance to show their importance.

Besides, Man Gui has long been handy in managing such trivial matters in Shenyang City, and he can handle them clearly by himself. There is no need for the two of them to point fingers at the side, which will make it even more chaotic.

Livestock were left on the ice of the Liaohe River, some trees were cut on both sides of the river bank, and a simple fence was temporarily surrounded by wooden stakes to prevent the livestock from running around.

After finishing all this work, it was time for dinner. Everyone went to both sides of the river bank, lit bonfires, slaughtered cattle and sheep, set up a boiler, and prepared a sumptuous dinner.

The arrival of the team from Shanhaiguan and the appearance of Sun Chengzong also heralded the end of the order of the Liaodong frontier army to guard against death. Holding a warrant representing the Liaodong economic strategy, they went to knock on the gate of Jinzhou City.

After seeing the warrant, the guard of Jinzhou City immediately came to visit with abundant living supplies, and explained some reasons. Li Mu's team had just arrived at Jinzhou City, so there was no embarrassment in coming to visit.

Li Mu also graciously expressed his understanding, and personally invited the guard to participate in tonight's bonfire night in front of Sun Chengzong.

He has no reason to be angry because he strictly abides by the general order, after all, this general order was issued because of him.

...

Below the city of Jinzhou, on both sides of a section of the Liaohe River, there are piles of orange-red bonfires, and the beeping and crackling of the firewood can be clearly heard in the air.

The bonfire night in the military camp is always inseparable from the activities of men wrestling with each other and competing for alcohol consumption. After venting the excess energy in the body, and having a good time, they feast on the roasted beef and mutton, singing that only men understandable songs.

Fortunately, this bonfire night is not just a one-man show for men. More than 2 Jurchen women who belonged to them, while taking care of the barbecue on the bonfire, also brought the men unique Jurchen songs and dances.
