I’m The King

Mu Qiu, who had been thinking about how to escape back before, was not in a hurry. He stayed on the mountain for three days. Apart from finding something to eat and drink, the rest of the time was spent observing the mountain. Happening.

After three days of careful observation, he finally confirmed that there were about 2,000 people in the Yan army in Tuntian at the foot of the mountain, and the Donghu cavalry guarding them was only 500 at most. What made Mu Qiu strange was that these Yan army prisoners looked very different. Stay safe, even if these East Hu cavalry whipped them at will, these people did not resist.

This made Mu Qiu feel a little unbelievable. In his opinion, although the two thousand Yan army had no weapons, as long as they chose the right time and rose up to resist, it was not impossible to win, but they were willing to be slaves here?

He shook his head, and went back to report the things he couldn't understand. Perhaps they knew that the first thing he had to do now was to understand the situation more clearly, and the second thing was to escape.

On the fourth day, the sky was the wish of people. The **** who had been clear for a long time finally changed his face and started to rain. It started from the pattering light rain when the sky was still dark, and the rain gradually became heavy in the morning. Mu Qiu woven a piece of clothing from branches and grass, and wrapped himself tightly. He decided to take this opportunity to escape. Depending on the weather, the rain will not stop for a while. In the rain, the speed of the cavalry will slow down, and the line of sight will be unclear. It will be difficult to track him, and since yesterday, the Donghu cavalry who was waiting at the foot of the mountain has disappeared. It doesn't seem to be patient either. In this kind of weather, it may not be able to bear the suffering and still set up an ambush under the mountain.

Anyway, I have to take a risk. However, without a horse, I am afraid that it will take a lot of hardships and a longer time to go back this way. If you walk more than two hundred miles and walk on two legs, I am afraid that it will take several days.

Must go back, there is such a big piece of fat here. Why did he have to go back and bring the army, bite it fiercely, and after becoming Xu Yuan's personal guard, Mu Qiu could hear Xu Yuan chanting how to expand the army many times. There are two thousand Yan army here, who have received good military training, and if they are taken back, the general's force has almost doubled. It's just that the Yan Jun here doesn't seem to be bloody, he's as good as his son in front of the Donghu people, and it's really hard to say whether it can be used in the rescue.

Tightening the belt around his waist, and tightening the grass clothing on his body, Mu Qiu was like a moving haystack. Go down the mountain.

Pioneer City, the station where the First Army Pioneer Army of the Northern Field Army of the Eastern Mansion was located. Although Xu Yuan had read books and was literate, he was not a man of literary talent. The camp he built right now was still far away from the city. He still swiped a big pen and named this camp Pioneer City, because the troops he commanded were originally the vanguard of the Northern Army. Since it is his stationing place, this city in the future, called Pioneer City, is worthy of its name.

Inside Pioneer City. The map of Xu Yuan's room was hung on the wall by him. During this period of time, the multi-channel outposts sent out have basically returned, and there is no secret in his eyes for the terrain within a hundred miles on the other side. What surprised him was that within a hundred li on the other side, there was basically a vacuum. The Huns who originally lived here have disappeared, leaving only the remains of the old camp once stationed. And the Donghu people did not fill the vacancy in time. It seems that the internal problems of the Donghu people are bigger than what the governor and Jiang Yizheng estimated, and Thorpe probably hasn't freed his hands yet.

Even so, Xu Yuan did not immediately raise his troops to cross the river and advance the actual control area of ​​the Zhengdong Mansion to this area. The governor and the councillors agreed that with the current strength of the Zhengdong Mansion, it would not be beneficial to cross the river. The Liao River is not a ditch. Crossing the river is not an easy task. Once crossing the river, the transfer of logistics materials and the follow-up of the follow-up troops are all major problems. Once attacked by the Donghu army, it is very easy to fail.

Liaohe, as far as the two armies are concerned, is not only a moat, but also a natural line of defense.

What annoyed him was that there was another sentry that did not come back. The captain of this sentry was called Mu Qiu, who was exactly a young officer he valued very much. Not only did he participate in actual combat, but he was also clever, willing to learn, like Drawing a map is an extremely difficult task for most soldiers. This guy who has just been transferred to his subordinates for less than half a year has already mastered it very well. You must know that the sentry who went out this time, the officer who led the team, except Except for Mu Qiu, the rest were old people under his command.

This is a young man who deserves to be cultivated, and if he just breaks it down, it is really a big loss.

Mu Qiu has not returned, and Xu Yuan roughly guessed the reason. Mu Qiu is young, willing to learn, smart, and brave. These are his strengths, but his shortcomings are also too young. Being young means being more impulsive and making meritorious deeds. His mind is also stronger, and his detection range must be beyond the hundred miles he stipulated.

Perhaps the Donghu people have not yet arrived in this area, Mu Qiu has gone further, or they have already encountered the Donghu people, at this time, they have become the belly of the beast.

After sighing his son for a while, Xu Yuan put this emotion behind his head. War always leads to death. Since Mu Qiu made his own choice, he must be prepared to pay the price. More things to do.

The barracks prepared for the Second Army are about to be completed, and they are roughly the same as my own. The preliminary work has been done by myself, and more improvements will be done after Yan Peng's Second Army arrives. The two large camps are about ten miles apart. When they are perfected in the future, there will be two cities that are horns and echo each other. They not only attack the forward point on the opposite bank of the Liao River, but are also the headquarters of the group army that will be built on the bank of Dayan Lake. Sharp sword.

Dayan Lake will rise in the future, a big city that is no less inferior to any state city in the Central Plains. There will be the core of Zhengdong Mansion's control of the Hetao Plain.

It is said that Guo Quan, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, who is good at building cities, will also bring a large number of craftsmen, civil servants, and the commander Sun Xiao to arrive at Dayan Lake. Counting days, they will soon arrive at their destination.

He stood up and decided to visit the army’s farm. The Northern Army arrived in the Hetao Plain not only to control the area, but also to develop this area. Xu Yuan took a step first. He arrived last winter. Daying, he had completed it years ago, and Huigu turned him into a real city. Obviously it is not something that can be completed in a short time. And he is not an expert in this field, so it seems that it is not as good as Cangzhuo. He knows how to make further plans if he is a skilled craftsman. He still knows how to sharpen the knife and not chop wood by mistake.

After the beginning of the spring, the troops were idle, there was no fighting, and they could not drag their soldiers to train every day. This would make the soldiers feel bored. The veterans were not afraid of fighting, but they were afraid of boring training day after day, so they had to find something for them. Things were done, so he had the idea of ​​reclaiming some fields.

Now it seems that the original idea was right. Thousands of acres of fields have been opened around Pioneer City. In addition to sowing grain seeds, they also planted a lot of vegetables. Now the soldiers already have fresh vegetables to eat. Years ago, this kind of life was unimaginable. Although some vegetables were brought from the rear, after arriving here after a long journey, almost all the fresh vegetables that were not in large quantities could be eaten. That is the case, soldiers. Still gobbled up. And now, they are at least self-sufficient in vegetables, and over time, they will produce more varieties here.

Walking on the fields and looking at the green seedlings on the ground, Xu Yuan couldn't help but feel proud. He squatted down and dug up a mass of soil at will. With a pinch in his hand, the black soil fell in his hands. The land of the earth is really fertile, such a land without an owner, if he is not taken into his hands, it is really a violent thing.

What a great place, as long as there are enough people, this place will turn from a thousand miles of wilderness into a thousand miles of fertile soil. It is no wonder that the first thing is to seize this land as soon as the captain and the governor vacate their hands.

Damn Donghu people, I won't let you occupy this place, this belongs to our East Mansion. Xu Yuan waved his fist into the air.

"General Xu!" An urgent shout came from behind him. Xu Yuan stood up straight, and when he turned his head, he saw Tao Zongwang riding a horse, running towards him from a distance. He couldn't help being shocked. What happened? ? He slapped the dirt on his hands and strode up to meet him.

"What's the matter?" He asked loudly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Being in this place now, any disturbance can arouse his vigilance.

Tao Zongwang got off his horse and ran up to him, "General, today our army routinely patrols the banks of the Liaohe River and accidentally rescued a soldier of our army. He is the general's personal guard. Is he one of the guards sent by the general to map the opposite bank? "

"Mu Qiu?" Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows. "He's back, alone?"

Tao Zongwang nodded, "Yes, a man with injuries on his body, he crossed the Liaohe River with a wooden stake in his arms, exhausted, but happened to run into our patrol team. He said, there is an urgent military situation to report to the general!"

Emergency military situation! Xu Yuan was shocked. Although Mu Qiu was young, he was a man who fought a big battle. A figure who could survive a fierce battle like Jishicheng naturally knew what emergency military sentiment was.

Could it be that the Donghu people have reached the other side? Xu Yuan's heart was tense. The leisure time may be taking over. If the Donghu people have arrived, and the two armies will face off across the bank, even if there is a barrier by the Liao River, it will not be all right. The war is about to begin?

"Go, go back!" He opened his steps and ran towards Pioneer City.
