Chapter 1545 No One Can Guess Her

Although it is extremely cold here as we are guarding the outpost, and it is far away from the bustling cities that have been built one after another in recent years, the ease and comfort here can be said to be the best in the Northern Desert.

A soldier was gnawing on a chewy piece of beef, gazing at Qingquan Town at the end of the distant sky, and sighing that the grassland is different now and life seems to be getting better and better.

Another soldier was a little angry, thinking that everything was copied from the Han people. The houses in these towns were built in the same way as those of the Han people. If this continued, there would be no Northern Yuan characteristics.

Two soldiers came over to give them water and joined in the conversation.

When they were chatting enthusiastically, the man who was gnawing on the beef stopped, raised his hands to cover his eyebrows and stood up.

The other soldiers looked over and asked, "What happened?"

"what happened?"

"Look carefully," said the man gnawing at the beef, "there are a lot of soldiers coming from outside Qingquan Town!"

The other people's eyesight was not as good as his. They stared for a long time before they finally saw the soldiers walking to the south.

The distance was so great that they were like grass on a grassland.

But once you get a clear view, you can clearly see the soldiers lined up in rows. There are at least five thousand people, about ten battalions of troops.

A soldier asked, "What are they doing?"

Another soldier said, "We are all here, who can know."

"But it doesn't look like it's coming towards us?"

"Yes, we are going south."

It is normal to see soldiers moving around on the grassland, but it is not normal for Qingquan Town to suddenly gather so many soldiers.

Although Qingquan Town is well-developed due to its flat terrain, it is still located in the marginal area of ​​the entire Northern Yuan Dynasty.

There was only one reason why thousands of soldiers suddenly appeared in Qingquan Town, and that was that King Changyan wanted to cross the sacred mountain to go "hunting".

But now, these troops seem to be heading south.

The place you can fight from here to the south is Zhitu. The terrain of Zhitu looks like a black cat facing left, and the Golden Moon Mountain is right between the cat's ears and forehead.

As for the Qingji Pass of Tu, it is outside the cat's nose and mouth.

Further down the chin and neck is the world-famous Yangmen Pass.

The soldiers at these garrisons unanimously believed that the troops now were most likely heading to Qingji Pass.

Qingji Pass was very easy to fight in the past, but in the past few months, the main force of the Chimen Army has been at Qingji Pass. Among them, there is a battalion called Zhenwu Battalion, which is composed of elite troops from various battalions. It is said that it has only been defeated twice so far. And unlike the organization of an ordinary battalion, the number of people in Zhenwu Battalion has reached more than 900.

About half an hour later, the assembled troops finally set out.

Several soldiers watched them go away and said happily, "How fun! They said that the Xia Army would come from the Golden Moon Mountain to avenge our prince. Look! The Xia Army was not caught, and our prince went to attack Qingji Pass first."

"Your Highness has always been like this, and the Han people still want to fight us. Your Highness must personally teach them a lesson!"

"Haha, if you want to blame someone, blame the Xia family army for talking nonsense!"

"Hey, did the Xia family army really say that they would come from the Golden Moon Divine Mountain? Don't make it up."

"No matter if it is or not, we will fight him if it is or not! Do we need to be polite to the Han people? If we want to fight, we can fight!"

"That makes sense!"

A soldier who rarely spoke suddenly asked, "What do you think? Is there a trick? Could it be that the Xia family army deliberately announced that they would come from the Golden Moon Divine Mountain, but in fact, they want to sneak through Qingji Pass and attack our Eagle Star Fort?"

"You mean, now the prince is sending troops south, not to attack Qingji Pass, but to guard the entrance of Yingxing Fort?"

"Correct."

A soldier sneered: "What bullshit are you talking about? Is this possible? For so many years, the Han people have only dared to hide in their borders and defend their borders. When have they dared to go beyond their borders?" "If we didn't want to spend more energy to manage the land we seized, otherwise their border would have been taken by us long ago."

"We leave the land to them so that they can grow crops and raise livestock well and earn more money. Then we can rob them!"

"That's right. If the prince had been willing, Zhitu would have belonged to us long ago. It's just that the prince didn't think highly of that piece of broken land, so he just killed all the people who gave it to them!"

The soldier who didn't like to talk much frowned, looked in the direction where the army disappeared in the distance, and said softly: "I still think that the Xia family army will break through the pass."

"Ignore him! It's nonsense!"

"Why are you trying to show off to others?"

"I bet you that if the Xia family army dares to break into the entrance of Eagle Star Fort, I will buy you three jars of wine!"

The soldiers cursed and swore, and the day's duty passed in boredom.

In Qingquan Town, Sun Congli and Xia Zhaoxue had finally contacted a freight caravan, but had to give up because of the army suddenly assembled by Chang Yanwang Shang Taiyu, and their work was in vain.

Not only them, but all the horse caravans traveling for business in Qingquan Town did not dare to set out easily, for fear of war in the south.

It was originally rumored that the Xia family army was coming from the Golden Moon Divine Mountain, but all of a sudden, various versions of the story spread.

It is said that the Xia family army has 100,000 soldiers and is going to attack the entrance of Yingxing Fort.

Some said that King Chang Yan was going to attack Qingji Pass to let the Xia family army know that there would be a price to pay for bragging.

There are also reports that King Chang Yan went to support other armies and to attack the Han people's Juezhou and Pan Yu.

Some people even said that the Xia family army had nothing to do with it from the beginning to the end, and those statements were all false rumors spread by others, which scared King Chang Yan so much that he gathered his troops first.

Sun Congli was in a dilemma, this batch of goods was very important, it was the money pooled together by countless people, he had finally contacted the caravan, but now he didn't know when they could set off.

More importantly, it would be disastrous if King Chang Yan really went to attack Qingji Pass, because he was the commander-in-chief of Zhenwu Camp, and Zhenwu Camp was now the main force stationed at Qingji Pass.

Sun Congli was so angry that after scolding King Chang Yan, he went on to scold Xia’s army.

As a result, several of his subordinates did not allow him to scold the Xia family army. Not only Qian Dahe and Jia Huaigan, but also Xia Zhaoxue, who usually did not participate in discussions on these topics, came out to refute him.

Before going to bed, Sun Congli angrily said, "Go back and watch me punish you!"

After Qian Dahe returned to his room, he sat on the bed and looked at Xia Zhaoxue who was looking at a map next to him. He suddenly said, "Ding Xue."

Xia Zhaoxue raised his head.

Qian Dahe said, "From now on, please talk less about the Xia family army in front of the general."

"why?"

"It's fine if you don't say anything. If you come out to speak for the Xia family army, the general will think that the three of us are working together to talk back to him. Remember, from now on, Jia Huaigan and I will do the talking. The general values ​​you more, don't you understand?"

Xia Zhaoxue looked back at the map and said calmly, "It's not that complicated. I joined the army to kill the Beiyuan bastards."

"Hey! You have a head made of wood, you are so stupid! Forget it, I can't explain it to you clearly, go to sleep!"

Xia Zhaoxue looked at the Golden Moon Mountain on the map, then at the entrance of Eagle Star Fort, and at Qingji Pass, fifty miles southeast of the entrance of Eagle Star Fort.

  Little sister, do you really want to attack Eagle Star Fort?

He still felt it was impossible. He knew exactly how many troops the Xia family army had because his younger sister had told him in her letters.

However, King Chang Yan has now led his troops south, and my little sister is a person who does not play by the rules. She is resourceful, a master at commanding troops, and even more amazingly, she has excellent skills.

It turns out that they were taught by the same master. She and Zhao Yi are so similar.

  Xia Zhaoxue closed the map. Could it really be the entrance to Eagle Star Fort?

Xia Zhaoxue, who knew the current commander of the Xia family army better than most people, was confused for a moment.
