"Hehe, I usually like to study the terrain of various places, not only in Langya County, but also in Yanyun County." Lin Qi said with a smile.
"Not doing your job properly." Xiao Chen ordered him to light the lamp and look at Kansai on the map.
"How many soldiers and horses do your Majesty have under your command?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Usually, there are about 2,000 well-trained soldiers and horses. Because Langya County has been suppressing bandits for many years, the number of troops is larger than that in ordinary towns. There are also some rural soldiers of about 1,000 people. In addition, during wartime, all the fast horses of the city's government officials have returned. My father's temperance, all kinds of things, add up to four thousand people." Tie Moller said.
"This place is not far from the left side of the mountain. There is only a mountain between us... Is there a path in this mountain?" Xiao Chen asked.
Lin Qi's map is a military map. Although it is not very precise, if there are trails in the mountains, they should be marked. Since they are not marked, they probably are not.
"There are no decent roads, they are all extremely dangerous mountain roads." Tie Moller said, "It rains heavily in summer, and sometimes landslides and mudslides occur, so it is impossible to walk on mountain roads. If it were now, it would be barely passable. The students have grown up in the mountains and go hunting in the mountains every autumn, so they are very familiar with the conditions inside."
"Well, can you pass the carriage and horse?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Humans and horses can pass, but cars cannot." Tie Molele said, "That's why Duan Fengnian did not deploy heavy troops here. There are only miscellaneous troops like my father's headquarters, but they are enough to guard the mountain road. As long as a few hundred people guard the cliff, even a hundred Even an army of ten thousand can’t get through, it’s really like one man is blocking the barrier and ten thousand men can’t get through it.”
"I will write a letter. Molecule, you take it back and ask your father-in-law to send someone to sneak across the mountain to find Xie Chang'an, the governor of Shanzuo. First, we can explore whether the road is feasible. Second, we can discuss with him whether there is a way to transport troops from here. In the past? If this happens, it will all be your father's great contribution. I will naturally ask for a reward for him when I turn around." Xiao Chen said.
"Master Xiao, why do you care about the war?" Temole asked curiously.
"The emperor appointed me to be the deputy commander, and as Prince Xuanping leads his troops on an expedition, you think I have nothing to do with it?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Oh, my lord, why do you believe in me so much?" Tie Moller was so confident just now, but now he suddenly lost his confidence.
"Since you believe me, I will naturally believe you." Xiao Chen said, "Besides, this matter will be known to everyone soon, and there is no need to keep it secret. Besides, it would be best if you and your father are willing to do this for me. Even if you don't agree, it won't be harmful. Big picture.”
"It's really a pleasure to talk to you, Mr. Xiao!" Tie Moole stood up, "No matter what my father means, even if the student dies, he will never let you down!"
"It's no use what Tie Mo Le said. The main thing is to look at actions." Lin Qi was fascinated by the map. He was startled by him and became very dissatisfied. He just said what he said and did whatever he was surprised to do.
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper." Tie Moller's face turned red with excitement, "No wonder everyone is convinced by you, Mr. Xiao. It's only today that we found out that it's better to meet in person than to be famous!"
Jiang Chenghe and Murong Lin both wrote letters to their father and gave them to Tie Mo Le to hide close to him. Xiao Chen gave him another command arrow and asked him to leave the city and rush back overnight.
As for Jiang Chenghe and Murong Lin, since they knew about this, they could not go back and were placed under house arrest in Xiao Chen's home. They had no objection at all and were happy to stay.
Xiao Chen sent Tie Mo Le away and returned to the house. The banquet had already dispersed, but Ouyang Yunxiu was still there, reading a book of poems with an oil lamp, her long hair hanging down her forehead and her face carefree. Lazy, more charming.
Looking at the beauty under the lamp, it is indeed a kind of hazy beauty.
"The damn fat guy isn't hiding in the closet and planning to attack me, right?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Haha, Ling'er was forcefully dragged away. Humph, the little girl thought she was trying to please me, but who cares?" Ouyang Yunxiu said.
"I don't care." Xiao Chen said with a smile, "My sister is sensible, no wonder I love her so much."
"Hey, are you angry because of what I said to her just now?" Ouyang Yunxiu has now learned to make trouble without reason.
"I'm not angry. That little girl just needs an education. You might as well stay and help me educate her properly." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Don't think that you and Ling'er are very close. You are her brother, and I am also his sister. I am also her fellow senior sister, and our relationship is much closer than yours." Ouyang Yunxiu said.
"Yes, Ling'er said the same. That day she asked me stupidly, should I ask my brother to teach your sister-in-law in the future, or should you ask your sister to call me brother-in-law?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Bah!" Ouyang Yunxiu was stunned for a moment before he understood, "Ling'er wouldn't say such things, you made them all up!"
"Then do you want me to make up another one?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"You know how to lie to me!" Ouyang Yunxiu said angrily.
"You lied to me too, Ang. I don't believe you came all the way to Fengyang just for that Lu Wenqian thing." Xiao Chen said.
"It's also for him, but also for you." Ouyang Yunxiu said, "I'll accompany you to fight Duan Fengnian in Langya County."
"Ah?" Xiao Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, "It's true!"
"I'm not like you, so I like to lie to people." Ouyang Yunxiu said.
"Wait a minute, something is wrong. It's very wrong." Xiao Chen was happy before he felt something was wrong. "Am I going to get into trouble again?"
"Hmph, you are such a troublemaker, you are always in trouble." Ouyang Yunxiu said.
"Then you don't have to accompany me, right?" Xiao Chen also changed his mind, because it felt like a big trouble, otherwise Yun Xiucai wouldn't be so good as to accompany him to fight.
But since it was a big trouble, he didn't want Yunxiu to be involved. If something happened to Yunxiu, would he be heartbroken? As for myself, I am really not afraid. I have passed through many life and death crises safely... isn't that what kind of trouble it is?
"Actually, it's not all for you. This is also our Ouyang family's business." Ouyang Yunxiu said, "So I have to go. As for what it is, you will know when the time comes, because the secret cannot be leaked."
"You can reveal a little bit about your situation so that I can be prepared." Xiao Chen said, "Don't tell me I'm really scared."
"Are you still scared?" Ouyang Yunxiu said with a smile.
"I wasn't scared at first, but the more I think about it, the more scared I am!" Xiao Chen said, "Think about it, with the fat man Xiao Ye Ling'er, the four elders of the Demon Sect plus a little devil, this lineup is almost invincible in the world, and what's more? Who dares to make trouble for me? If he dares to come, he must have a very big background."
If necessary, invite the three old men Zhao Gongming, Mo Sohe and Li Xuanming who have just returned to Yanyun County. With them here, the huge trouble will not be a big trouble.
"It's not that serious!" Ouyang Yunxiu said with a smile, "Call you stupid, you are so smart, call you smart, but you are stupid. If it is really such a big trouble, why would the second grandfather let me come alone? "
"Don't you think I'm relieved when you say this?" Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "If that's the case, then let the damn fat man go, and save him from chirping again."
Mainly because I'm afraid that fat people will get in my way.
