The long winding team strolled through the mountains with difficulty along a path about two meters wide. Although the mountains were densely forested and the weather was still very cool, such a road was really tormenting. In addition, it rained lightly the day before, and the road was even more muddy and difficult to walk. Half a month after entering Bayankara Mountain, the Anqing border army led by Yun Zhao encountered the first test.

The Anqing border army stopped building forward after half of the construction of this path from Shibao to Yizhou. It was extremely difficult for soldiers in armor to walk, not to mention that they had to carry food and carry large and small arms, and each of them had to bear weight less than fifty kilograms. The soldiers were so tired that they could only breathe. It was difficult for a team of thousands of people to hear the noise, but occasionally they heard a horse neighing one or two. The soil on the ground had already been stepped into mud. Half of the military boots would not be able to get into the mud and water after one foot. Everyone became like mud monkeys. The gray Anqing uniform could no longer distinguish the color.

On this road, officers, like soldiers, have no privileges to enjoy, and war horses cannot be ridden. On the contrary, soldiers with war horses must also share their spirits to take care of the horses. The road here is dangerous. If the horses slide down the steep slope next to the road, the fun will be great, and they will be ruined even if they are not dead. There is no use except to kill and eat meat. For the Anqing border army, every war horse is now precious. Yan Xiaoyi led his 1 zhangqing and advanced carefully. In the past, at Yingzhu Rock, everyone was equipped with two war horses, but now, except for this only one, each cavalry has no extra war horse. Once they lose the war horse, they have to join the infantry camp.

"Fuck. Is this a road?" Yan Xiaoyi cursed angrily. He wanted to keep his complaints for a few words, but he looked at Yun Zhao, who was silent in front of him and walked on the snow, swallowed the complaints that reached his throat.

Yun Zhao was actually very tired. But as the commander of the first army, no matter how tired he was, he could only hold on. If he showed a little tired look, the people below would probably not be able to walk.

When you have gained your foothold in Yulin, you must repair the remaining road! Yun Zhao said secretly in his heart.

"General!" A shout came from the front, and a mud monkey squeezed over from the crowd, causing the soldiers to complain.

"Quan Yifeng, how far is it?" Yun Zhao's face showed a smile when he saw this man. Quan Yifeng was originally responsible for selling salt and medicine to the Mongolian Yuan in Anqing, but because he was familiar with this path, Yun Zhao specially transferred him back.

"It's not far away, General, cross the mountain in front and arrive at Fenghuang Mountain, where there is an outpost of the Yizhou soldiers!" Quan Yifeng gasped. His spirit was still forgetful. Compared to the time when the mountain was blocked by heavy snow at the beginning of the year, he passed through the Bayankala Mountain for a lifetime. This difficulty in front of him was nothing.

After glanced at the mountain in the distance, Yun Zhao smiled bitterly. The so-called "Looking at the mountain and running to death, it was close to you, but if you really wanted to walk, it would take several hours.

"Can you arrive at Phoenix Mountain before dark?" Yun Zhao asked.

"At the current speed, it should be possible!" Quan Yifeng estimated, "General, there was a Yizhou soldiers outpost on Fenghuang Mountain, with ten Yizhou soldiers stationed, but later briefly stated that the general continued to transport supplies to Yizhou, and the number of people here has increased to nearly a hundred. What are you going to do?"

Yun Zhao smiled, and a mouthful of white teeth appeared on his face covered in mud, "We are here to reinforce Yizhou. Why? Are they still going to stop us? Even if they want to stop us, can they stop us? Let's do this, Quan Yifeng, bring a whistle and detain them all, so don't hurt them."

"Yes, General!" Quan Yifeng nodded vigorously.

"After you arrive, immediately bury the pot and make a fire, and boil more hot water. The brothers are exhausted during this period. Let them drink a little hot soup, take a bath, soak their feet, and relax well. Next, we will be busy!" Yun Zhao ordered.

"I understand, general!" Quan Yifeng saluted and turned around and left.

"Jiang Xu!" Yun Zhao shouted.

"General, I'm here!" Jiang Xushen, who was carrying Mo Ye, rushed up from behind with a shallow kick. His body and face were covered with mud. If it weren't for his size and unique voice, Yun Zhao would have really recognized him.

"Go and invite General Su over. I have something to discuss with him!" Yun Zhao said.

"I understand!" Jiang Xu dragged Mo Dao and turned around and walked backwards.

A detailed map of Yulin County was laid on the lid of the box, which was Guo Feng's credit. On both sides of the box, Yun Zhao and Su Dingfang placed the saddle in the mud and sat together shoulder-to-shoulder, both of them stared at the map in front of them.

"Yulin County is relatively remote, with only two roads leading to the outside world. One is Sanpan Town in Yizhou and the other is Changgen Township in western Yizhou. These two places are on the main traffic roads in Yulin County and are relatively prosperous. In addition to the county town, these two places are strategic points that we must control. If these two places are stuck, Yulin County will all take my hands." Yun Zhao knocked on the map and told Su Dingfang.

"I'll go to Sanpan Town!" Su Dingfang said: "Let Tu Hu go to Changgen Township. General, you are in the county. Yulin County has basically no garrison. The combat effectiveness of those regiments can be ignored. We can control Yulin County in a very short time. But General, how should we deal with the Yizhou officials in Yulin County?"

"Don't touch them first!" Yun Zhao said: "We are just a newcomer and we still need them to help us stabilize the situation. Anyway, we came with the banner of reinforcement of Yizhou. I guess that at this time, the officials in Yulin also learned that Wang Haogu had rebelled and that the Mongolian army had entered Yizhou. I'm afraid it was the time when the six gods were in power. At least we would not treat our army as enemies!"

Su Dingfang smiled and said, "Of course not in a short period of time, but over time, you may be able to do so. After all, we want to take Yulin County into our own hands."

"After a long time, they can't help it!" Yun Zhao said: "Pan Haoran is not at the moment. His Yizhou army wants to do his best to protect the Yizhou Basin. It is beyond the reach of these remote areas. The briefly described troops will definitely be transferred to the Yizhou Basin. At present, a vacuum zone has been formed in the western part of Yizhou and even around the Babayankala Mountains. There are not many troops, and a small number of left-behind troops have the courage to provoke us."

"The last time Guo Feng came back, the clan power in Yulin County was relatively strong. The gentry led by the Ma family and Lin family is quite powerful. They are mixed locally and have many armed forces. If you want to control Yulin County, you are afraid that these two gentry are stumbling blocks and are more difficult to deal with than officials. Those officials in Yizhou are all officials who are in a state of iron-clad yamen. They are great to walk with the bedding, but these two are local tyrants. At that time, we will definitely have a conflict of interest with them."

Yun Zhao smiled gloomyly. He had no favoritism for these wealthy and wealthy families and poor families. "That depends on whether they know each other. Lao Su, Guo Feng is now looking for the specific situation in Yulin. My opinion is to fight one by one, and to fight one by one, and to fight one by one, and then we will depend on the actual situation after we arrive in Yulin."

"It's better not to start a big killing. After all, we are guests and they are the masters. The strong dragon will not suppress the local snake. It is said that these two families will be entrenched locally for many years and have a great influence on ordinary people. It will not be beneficial to us if they really make a fuss." Su Dingfang was a little worried.

"If we want to gain a foothold, we must suppress a group of people and support a group of people. Otherwise, we will be led by them by the nose. Lao Su, we don't have much time to briefly describe the mountain natives who have been suppressed by him for many years are like tigers with loosened ropes. We must jump a few times. Yulin County is too close to them. We can only launch our strategy for them if we have completely grasped Yulin. In my heart, these mountain natives are rare soldiers. If we don't subdue them, we will find it difficult to make great progress. We cannot keep an eye on them when we are guiding Yizhou. We don't have the energy!"

"General is right!" Su Dingfang nodded. His family knew his family's affairs. This time, Anqing's border army was just taking advantage of the situation and took advantage of Pan Haoran, the Mongolian army and Wang Haogu's fire to get the fire. If they did not gain a foothold before the two families decided the victory and defeat, and developed a situation that could at least prevent them from slacking off their sleeves, they would be afraid that they would not eat the mutton but would be flirting with it.

"We are dancing on the edge of the cliff. If we are not careful, we will end up ruining the bones!" Su Dingfang sighed.

Yun Zhao put away the map and laughed: "There is no big adventure, there will be great gains. Lao Su, we have been dancing on the edge of the cliff, but every time we won a full house, and this time will be no exception. Trust me, we will win."

"Of course I believe in the general!" Su Dingfang smiled, "I'll go down and assign tasks."

"Okay, I'm afraid it will take dark to reach Phoenix Mountain. When we get there, we can have a good rest. When tomorrow dawn, our actions will officially begin."

At the Phoenix Mountain Outpost, Ma You, the eighth-rank Xuanjie school captain, was bored and chatting with the soldiers about the mountains. He was a child of the Ma family in Yulin County. Although he was not a direct descendant of his family, he was also considered the number one figure in Yulin County due to this relationship. The Phoenix Mountain Outpost was originally relatively remote and no one wanted to come. However, since the beginning of spring this year, Yizhou has continuously transported supplies to Anqing, and it has become a fat man. It turned out that the outpost of ten people has also expanded into a team of 100 people. Ma You was transferred here to take charge after a round of activities through his family's relationship. He has made a lot of money in the past few months. However, now that the materials have been suspended, the place has become deserted again.

Ma You's news is much more informative than ordinary big-headed soldiers. When something happened in Yizhou and the soldiers under him didn't hear any news, he had already received news from Ma Yigong, the head of the family.

Ma Yigong told Ma You that something big is going to happen in Yizhou, and the 100-man team he has to hold on to, maybe it will be of great use then...!~!
