Time Traveling Routine Movie King

The cavalry troop passed quickly on the narrow turtle-backed road.

"Why is there such a good road here?" Shen Bai looked at the winding loess road and asked, there were sporadic gravels on both sides of the loess road, which meant that paving and road hammering were specially done here.

The road surface that has been hammered has a turtle-back shape, so that rainwater will not flow to the low-lying places on both sides, and will not cause damage to the road surface.

"In order to deal with the war, the imperial court specially built roads when opening borders and establishing mansions. The purpose is to transfer materials faster." When Li Lu replied, he looked at the drivers in Shen Bai's team, obviously knowing that Mr. Leng Jun's identity.

The correspondence between him and Zihuan was not as easy as that between Shen Bai and Jia Shiqing. Many things and words were written in the letters without daring to understand. Not all the channels for him to know about Bianjing came from correspondence, more than half of them came from correspondence. It came through rumors, or it was published in the "Main News Monthly".

"How far is it to go to Fengcheng?" Shen Bai watched as the people along the way returned to his village one after another, and many people came forward and waved to them.

Those who found the child were overjoyed, those who did not find it were mourning, and some more persistent people went to the old castle that Shen Bai's team said to find the place where the child's body was buried. If you don't know with your own eyes, these relatives absolutely don't believe it and don't want to give up.

"There are still more than 70 miles to Fengcheng, and my garrison in Fengcheng is only 27 miles away from Xiliang. Han Xun is in Xuejiadian, [-] miles away from me, Xian Cheng is in Dingrong, and Gongsun Yan is stationed behind me in Longxi. "

"Why are the party members interspersed so well?" Shen Bai looked around and said.

"They want to scare our people away, so the power to defend the city will be much weaker."

"Will that work?" Shen Bai looked at the nearby villages and asked.

"Fengcheng is almost deserted, and only our garrison is left." Li Lu said self-deprecatingly.

More than 3000 cavalry returned to Fengcheng together. The word Fengcheng engraved on the stone slabs on the low tower was a bit incomplete, and the mottled city walls seemed to have no signs of being able to hold on except that they were made of stone.

But the neat banners on the city wall and every other soldier lined up in an orderly manner make it seem that this is indeed the most advanced position.

They rode their horses into the city, and the drawbridge outside the city was closed immediately, and the moat became a deep quagmire because it dried up. Riding across the drawbridge on horseback made creaking noises.

Sure enough, the city was empty, and the closed gates on the streets were still sealed by some people who fled in a hurry out of psychological effects.It seems that with such a seal on the door, one's own house may not be broken into.

The county government where Li Lu was stationed was dilapidated, but it was the only office in the city.

"A rich man here gave us his house before he left. Where will we live later?" Li Lu said.

The rich man's house he said was just a five-entry house, but it was much better than others, and even a lot looser than the county government.

After arriving at the lobby and sitting down, Li Lu asked someone to deliver tea and then a map.

"The enemy army in Xiliang Mansion is mainly cavalry. When Qi Baili lost the city, there were still more than 7 people in the city." Li Lu pointed to the map and said.

"Where did the people around here go to escape?" Shen Bai asked.

"Before they went to Xiping, and there were also Zhenrong troops. Later, some people felt unsafe and fled to Sichuan on a large scale." Li Lu said with a helpless expression.

"Hey!" Shen Bai laughed, holding up his teacup and looking at the embarrassed Leng Shaojun: "Let's eat lighter today."

Li Lu didn't expect Shen Bai to talk about eating, he nodded, got up and went out to order the cook.

When Li Lu sat back, Shen Bai put down the cup after drinking the tea: "The water here is not very good!"

"It's a bit hard!" Li Lu also said.

"It's suitable for making black tea, hey!" Shen Bai sighed and continued the topic just now: "It's normal for the common people to go to Sichuan. The land of Bashu has favorable geographical location and great passes. Jiange is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I am afraid that Dangxiang will never be conquered."

After finishing speaking, Shen Bai looked at Li Lu: "But the enemy in front of us is troublesome right now, we must find a way to fight them and send a message."

"It's easy to fight, but take a message?" Li Lu didn't understand Shen Bai's proposal.

"Did you see the caravan that broke up with us and returned to Bailanqiang today?" Shen Bai asked with a smile.

"Of course, such caravans come and go frequently, mainly for brick tea."

"Is the brick tea on the border so difficult right now?" Shen Bai asked curiously.

"Of course, there was civil strife in Dali, and the tea trade fluctuated, and we were fighting here, which made a big brick tea-consuming country like Tubo feel a lot of pressure. Logically, a piece of brick tea bought seven taels of silver."

"Tsk tsk, tea is more expensive than meat!" Shen Bai sighed.

"Not only that, that's why they came here to take a lot of risks, but as you can see, the merchants have all run away, and no one dares to sell tea here, let alone people from the Central Plains who dare to send tea here."

"Huh!" Shen Bai smiled: "Today's leader of Bailanqiang is their young patriarch Zhabu. Afterwards, he will trade tea with you, and my people will make arrangements."

Li Lu was puzzled: "My lord is not in a hurry to relieve the enemies of Xiliang and the siege of Xiping, but he is in a hurry to discuss business?"

Shen Bai patted him: "Salt tea is an indispensable thing in the Northland to control border trade. Without them, how can we make excuses for Tubo's counterattack against Dangxiang?"

"Are you going to kill someone with a knife?" Li Lu said excitedly.

"It's impossible to kill with a knife, but it's okay to use strength to fight." Shen Bai looked at the map, thinking about the distance between the enemy and himself.

After eating, it was already afternoon, Shen Bai asked Leng Shaojun to rest, and he and Li Lu led more than 500 riders out to explore the road.

"Prince Shen, it was hard for me to ask just now, why did you accept Master Leng after you have Zihuan?" Li Lu asked while riding on the horse, looking at Shen Bai who was riding on Zhuyue.

Shen Bai briefly introduced about Leng Shaojun, in exchange for Li Lu's silence.

This northwestern guy has an upright personality and doesn't have too many words.

The troops rode their horses to the ridge, and the official road below could be rushed up and down on horseback, and Xiliang City on the opposite side could already be seen.

The military barracks stationed at the gate of the city had issued a warning, Li Lu didn't move at all, and Shen Bai didn't care either.

"Go to the nearby Xuejiadian and Dingrong to have a look." Shen Bai said.

"Okay, then let's go fast, there will be a big wind and sandstorm here at night." Li Lu said, their cavalry roared away, and the Dangxiang cavalry had just left the camp.

Xuejiadian is close to the road leading to Shuzhong, which is the passage to Hanzhong and Dashan Pass.

It is said to be Dian, but it is actually a fortress.

When Shen Bai and the others rode their horses, Han Xun received the news that more than 1000 horsemen were already outside to meet them.

"See King Shen." Han Xun is also one of the young generals from Bianjing, and he respects Shen Bai very much.

"General Han, excuse me! I came here specially to check, just to find a place to retreat." Shen Bai said.

Han Xun and Li Lu have known each other for a long time, and they are back-to-back partners. They are not unfamiliar at all and asked directly: "Is the prince planning to retreat?"

"Yes, Fengcheng is too dangerous." Shen Bai said.

Li Lu and Han Xun showed disappointment, Li Lu said: "The prince can withdraw to the Zhenrong army, and the final general will stick to Fengcheng."

Shen Bai glanced at him and smiled: "No, I want to use Fengcheng to frustrate the party's army, and I also want to see if Helian Tianjiao is on the other side."

"Use Fengcheng to defeat the enemy's spirit?" Han Xun asked puzzledly, "Are you going to do the same as the battle at Jinkou?"

"Yes!" Shen Bai glanced at him appreciatively: "Burn Fengcheng."

Han Xun sighed: "We thought about this before, but we were afraid of being accused of retreating, so we had to defend to the death, but if Fengcheng fell, the enemy could divert them into Hanzhong Road and Xipinghou, and even directly threaten the Zhenrong army. "

"I'm not going to run away after the fight, but to pin them here and wait for our reinforcements to come."

"Reinforcement?" Li Lu showed a joyful expression: "Did the court send reinforcements?"

"My lord is coming in person, there must be reinforcements behind!" Han Xun couldn't help but said expectantly.

"No!" Shen Bai shook his head: "Our reinforcements are behind the party members."

"Behind the party member? Bai Lanqiang?" Li Lu asked curiously.

"Yes!" Shen Bai explained: "The Dangxiang people not only stole our children, but also the children of the Tubo and Qiang people. Their behavior is worse than horse thieves. How can the peoples on the grassland tolerate him?"

"It turns out they stole the child, these bastards." Han Xun couldn't help scolding.

"Are there too many here?" Li Lu asked.

"Some small villages have been ruined." Han Xun scolded.

Shen Bai nodded: "It's not enough for us to fight Fengcheng once. After burning Fengcheng, we must find a way to lure the enemy into deeper. The second and third setbacks are the most important. We don't want too much victory, but we must make them powerful and have nowhere to use them. For us, it is to pave the way for the Bailan Qiang soldiers to come to Xiliang."

"Is your lord sure that Bai Lanqiang will definitely send troops?" Li Lu asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'll allow them to sell brick tea for sale." Shen Bai's words reassured the two generals that the huge profits of brick tea are already a well-known secret in the Northwest.

While discussing, the cavalry came to report that there was movement from the enemy troops in Xiliang.

"It came so fast, did you get the news that the prince is here?" Han Xun looked at Li Lu.

Shen Bai shook his head: "Not necessarily, it won't take a day or two for them to call over, right?"

Li Lu nodded.

"They didn't attack so fast, maybe they were curious about our approaching detection, probably to test our reaction, we went back to prepare, pretended to retreat, and tried to annihilate them on the way." Shen Bai said confidently .

"The second setback and the third setback that the prince said is better to leave it to the last general. I have been here for a long time, and I am very confident." Li Lu said.

"Okay, but notify the other two armies to come over and prepare for a concentrated battle at any time." Shen Bai ordered.

Li Lu and Han Xun nodded, they had been looking forward to this battle for a long time.
