Half a day later, Yi Yun brought a large group of messy people back to Chengdu Oasis. He did not interrogate Lu Xi, the captive, because he knew that Lu Xi's status in Sanjiang Pavilion was too low and he would definitely not be able to ask anything. Moreover, interrogating the captive on the way would slow down his journey and delay his time to go home.

After rushing back to the Shu Palace, Yi Yun asked Li Chengyu to tie up Lu Xi and throw it into a wing room, and then turn around and clean up her. He brought three Taoist nuns to see the Shu Palace Han Feng.

After sitting down, Yi Yun first explained the story of going to welcome Honglian this time, allowing the Prince of Shu to understand the possible strength of Sanjiang Pavilion.

Then Honglian handed the cork from Mount Emei to the Prince of Shu and sighed: "I almost insulted my mission and trapped Mount Emei in danger. Fortunately, the little prince was extremely smart and defeated the enemy's head, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable."

The Prince of Shu smiled and took the cork: "I knew that no descendants of our Taizu were trashed? Many rumors about you must be untrue. A few days ago, a Feige came to the capital, saying that His Majesty had known his good nephew's military achievements in Jiangjin City. Soon, an eunuch trusted by His Majesty will come to Chengdu with an imperial edict, saying that he wanted to give you a reward."

Reward? If I hadn't given me a few good women, I wouldn't be interested. Yi Yun smiled and didn't care.

Of course, he could not have known that the letter from Yan Heng, the magistrate of Jiangjin County, had already made Emperor Zhu Qingqing notice his name and appointed him a job to eliminate Japanese pirates. At this time, the governor of the East Factory, the thirty-two, was carrying a large number of eagle claws from the East Factory, and rushed from the capital to Chengdu to read the imperial edict. It had already been halfway.

If he knew that Jiangjincheng would take on this job for him in that battle, he would not have let Yan Heng give his military achievements to him.

His indifferent attitude towards rewards ushered in the admiration of Prince Shu and Honglian. Young people can be calm and have some determination, which is not bad!

The Prince of Shu praised him a few words, and then changed his words and said to Honglian: "Master, if the map in my mind is not broken, Mount Emei is far away from Luzhou, at least a few hundred miles away, and should not be threatened by the rebels. Why did you Mount Emei hurriedly send the cork to Chengdu?"

Honglian frowned and whispered: "This matter... Speaking of which, I am here to inform you of an emergency military situation. As the Luzhou war was entangled, the rebels sent a sand cavalry to cross the Yangtze River from the Suijiang County Oasis hundreds of miles west of Luzhou."

"Suijiang County?" Prince Shu frowned. He grabbed a roll of map from his desk and spread it on the table. This is a thumbnail of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, marked with some strategic locations and city road maps.

From the map, Suijiang County was originally located in the south of Mount Emei. You only need to cross the two counties of Muchuan County and Jianwei County to reach the range of Mount Emei. In this way, the rebels could almost go north and attack Chengdu.

The Prince of Shu was shocked: "How many people are there in this sand cavalry unit? Where are they now?"

Honglian shook her head: "There are about two thousand people, all elite. After crossing the Yangtze River, they did not attack any county town. They directly penetrated into the vast desert and avoided the county town along the way. The scouts could not find where they went. Our Emei Sect was worried about being attacked by this sand cavalry unit, so they decided to send the cork to the Chengdu Oasis, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, to save. As long as the cork is safe, even if Mount Emei was attacked by the rebels, the disciples of our sect can choose to retreat."

The Prince of Shu frowned tightly: "The annoying sand cavalry... Are you planning to disrupt the supply line in the rear of our army, or are you planning to directly attack important strongholds? Is it impossible to figure out their purpose."

Yi Yun was confused when he heard it next to him, and he couldn't help asking, "What is the sand cavalry?"

"The sand cavalry is the cavalry in the desert." The Prince of Shu explained: "That is, the soldiers riding camels are difficult to cultivate because the camels that can be used to charge and are not as cheap as commercial camels, so it is difficult for the sand cavalry to form a scale. The sand cavalry unit of two thousand people should be the entire cavalry of the rebels."

Yi Yun said oh, he had heard of the soldiers riding camels. He had played a strategy game called "Camel Cavalry", which seemed to be called "Mamulik", which was a very famous army in the Arab world.

"Is the profession of Sand Cavalry very strong?" Yi Yun asked.

"It's not very strong. In fact, they are second-level 'soldiers', 'guards', and 'archers' riding on horses." The Prince of Shu said: "It's just that they have camels to travel for transportation and move quickly in the desert, so it's hard to get their tails."

The Prince of Shu moved his fingers on the map for a while, and suddenly said loudly to the outsider: "Come, I'll send my orders and send a large number of scouts to open a huge reconnaissance network along the oasis of Emei Mountain, Leshan, Rongxian, Zigong, Yibin, etc., and be sure to find this sand cavalry unit. In addition, send more heavy troops to protect the food route, so that the enemy can intercept the food."

"Yes!" someone outside the door responded.

"By the way, I will also inform the Governors of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces and the Governor of Sichuan for this information, so that they can also be wary of it." The Prince of Shu waved.

Hearing this, Yi Yun frowned slightly. He was not able to understand this military system in which the prince and the governor issued orders. In his opinion, there should be only one military chief in a place. In this way, the ruler Rurushan can be divided into two factions and commanded by each? The Dameng Kingdom is indeed a problem. The management system in which the prince and the local governor act on their own is a bit unfair... Can this make the country well?

Forget it, Dameng Country is not my motherland, my motherland is the People's Republic of China, Dameng Country affairs are not my business. Yi Yun decided not to express his opinions randomly. Anyway, it is useless to say such things. Unless the emperor is his wife, he will be obedient to beat and scold him, he will not be qualified to point fingers at Dameng Country.

However, he still planned to give some comments to this enemy's surprise soldier: "Cousin, Master Honglian, I don't know much about military affairs. What I will say next is a guess. Just listen casually. Don't blame me if you say it wrong. I'll say boldly, if I mean, this sand cavalry unit will directly attack Chengdu and remove the most important capital of Sichuan Province. Is it possible that our entire Sichuan Province will directly paralyze the defense capabilities?"

"This is impossible!" Prince Shu smiled and said, "Don't underestimate Chengdu. Although it is not the main battlefield, most of the troops have been transferred to Luzhou, the remaining troops are more than a thousand. With the tall and thick walls of Chengdu City and a row of cannons on the top of the city, how could two thousand sand cavalry break through the gate of Chengdu City?"

Honglian also nodded: "Two thousand people will never dare to attack Chengdu. If anyone attempts to take Chengdu with this little force, the enemy will only be dragged under Chengdu city, and then be attacked by the army returning to aid, and will die without a burial place."

"Oh? So that's the case. My nephew said nonsense again. Don't blame me for cousin." Yi Yun quickly modestly.

"Of course I won't blame you." Prince Shu laughed and said, "If you think this way, it means that you are a strategic child and your future achievements are limitless. Hahaha, I am very happy. By the way, you are leading the team to take over the work of Mount Emei, and my cousin is very satisfied. There are a few silver notes here, just like the pocket money I sent to you on behalf of your father, and spend it casually, and reward some soldiers who go on the battle with you. I heard that a few soldiers helped you catch a female assassin... Haha... These soldiers are good, so you must reward them vigorously."

Yi went to take the silver notes and saw that the five were worth ten thousand taels each... Damn... Now my wife An Qian was shocked. Even if she was a rich second generation, she would not be as good as the second generation of official, hahahaha! I still sell nonsense, but I also sell nonsense medicine... Oh, no, I have proficiency in pharmaceuticals, even if I don’t make money, I have to make it.
