After the major families in the capital learned that Liang Xiao's convoy was heading to Lanling, they immediately sent people to urge the Northern Hebei Rangers to attack and kill Liang Xiao.
"What? He went to Lanling?"
After Gongsun Yue heard the news, he immediately rushed to Lanlinghou Mansion and wanted to see Jiang Fuxue, but was stopped by the guard.
"I'm sorry, my Lord Marquis is away from home. Miss Third, please come back!"
Gongsun Yue did not dare to make trouble unreasonably, so she went back home and sat in the secret room, feeling unwilling to do so: "This beast ran away without saying a word. I don't know if my little sister followed him..."
She can't see Jiang Fuxue now either.
After a while, the maid came to report: "Third Miss, the convoy of Marquis Dingguo's Mansion went with Marquis Lanling."
Gongsun Yue suddenly stood up: "It must be that bastard Mu Qinxue!"
Since the last time we shook hands, I suffered a heavy loss at the hands of Mu Qinxue, and there was a tit-for-tat confrontation a while ago, so Gongsun Yue called Mu Qinxue this way in private.
When Liang Xiao was not present, the gaze between the two sides seemed to be capable of destroying the world.
Gongsun Yue was unwilling to lose to her under any circumstances.
In desperation, Gongsun Yue immediately sent people to prepare goods urgently, formed a caravan, and headed for Lanling.
Liang Xiao sat in the carriage, watching the scene outside, expecting in his heart.
He found that there were still certain differences in geography between Dazhou and his hometown, but the overall mineral distribution was similar.
For example, Yanzhou has several large iron mines.
It is difficult for a clever woman to make a living without rice. Without enough iron ore, it is difficult to make iron and steel. Naturally, it is also difficult to develop weapons and arm the army.
This is also an important reason why he chose Yanzhou.
In another carriage in the back row, Mu Qinxue was sitting alone obediently, with her hands on her knees, feeling excited.
Along the way, Liang Xiao asked Xuan Wei to patrol in the distance.
The BMW Honghu that Duan Yunyi gave to Liang Xiao was also brought out by him, fully armed with a vest, and guarded by Xuanwei.
They took the official road, which was usually very safe.
But Liang Xiao is so cautious, and she likes it very much!
There are various signs that Liang Xiao will be more cautious on the battlefield in the future.
Maybe, like his teacher Zhuge Hui, he would sit in charge of the central army and command decisively!
The two teams, with everyone either on horseback or in a carriage, could travel an average of eighty miles a day, and there were towns along the way for rest.
However, Lanling is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the round trip takes a month.
This made Liang Xiao quite uncomfortable.
Some historical novel characters run around the world, even dozens of times from neighboring countries, but their age never changes, and they look like Conan. How outrageous.
He learned from personal experience of ancient transportation that the best carriages could travel about 150 miles a day.
The convoy traveled eighty miles a day, which was extremely efficient. Their convoy specially rented the best carriages, and several horses pulled one cart together. When they reached towns along the way, they changed horses when they could. Efficiency came first when away from home. .
If it goes any faster, it won't be a horse-drawn carriage, but it will be hundreds of miles in a hurry.
If you don't take the flat official road, you may travel a little slower.
By the time he returns to Beijing from Lanling, he may be eighteen years old just after this winter.
Inconvenient transportation means that he must be very careful every time he formulates a strategy, consider various efficiencies and accidents, and be prepared for the worst.
He would not waste time on the road, so he also prepared paper and pens in the carriage to write and draw in case of emergency.
Liang Xiao's motorcade was halfway through the journey. On the official road south of the capital, Babaili rushed into the capital, bringing a piece of bombshell news that shocked the whole city!
"Tuobajie of the Tuoba clan colluded with the Tianri Sect rebels and attacked the caravan, and has been arrested!!"
The entire capital seemed to have experienced an earthquake, and no one dared to believe it.
Everyone in the Tuoba clan was extremely frightened, especially Tuoba Lie and his son, who summoned the elders of the clan for urgent discussion.
"How could my second brother be captured? What happened?" Tuoba Jun's face was pale, and he was frightened for the first time in his life.
It is common for those who collude with cults and rebels to be traitors, to be severely punished, and to confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans! !
Tuobajie was hiding well and was still under the protection of Tianri Sect. How could he be captured?
"It is said to be an urgent report from Xuanwei. It can't be wrong!" Tuoba Lie said in a trembling voice.
Tuobajie, his second son, had been trained by masters of the Sun Sect since he was a child. He practiced martial arts hard and became proficient in bow and horse.
Originally, they only waited for Zhuge Hui and Ding Guohou to die before taking advantage of the situation, but now... it's over!
Tuoba Jun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a trembling voice: "The grand hegemony has come to naught! Just in case, I must leave the capital immediately!!"
"That's right! Even if the Tuoba family can't escape this disaster, they still can't have no descendants!" Tuoba Lie gritted his teeth.
Tuoba Jun took several personal guards and escaped from the ancestral house through the tunnel at night.
Duan Yunyi and Zhuge Hui were also shocked when they received the news. They immediately sent troops to surround the Tuoba family and held an emergency meeting at the same time.
"An urgent report came from Runan. The rebel Tuobajie colluded with the Tianri Sect to attack the caravans of Lanling Marquis Mansion and Dingguo Marquis Mansion. They were defeated by the troops led by Lanling Marquis Guard Chief Lei Hong and captured Tuobajie!"
The high-pitched sound of Huangmen echoed in the hall, and all the officials were frightened.
"How is it possible? Isn't Tuobajie the son of Tuoba Shangshu family?" Duanmujie, the official's minister, asked anxiously.
Duan Yunyi said coldly: "The identity has been confirmed. He is Tuoba Shangshu's second son, Tuoba Jie!"
At this moment, Duan Yunyi didn't know how to describe his mood, so he could only cover it up with anger.
She never imagined that the Tuoba clan, the most low-key member of several great families, would be so bold!
But after this happened, she had another chance to beat the Tuoba clan...
Mixed emotions!
It was the abominable Liang Aiqing and the carefully taught Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry who achieved such unexpected great achievements!
I heard that Leihong started to read and learn the art of war because of a few words from his Lord Marquis!
Zhuge Hui's voice was stern, and he was furious and said: "Tuoba Shangshu! How can you Tuoba give an explanation to our emperor and to all the people of the great Zhou Dynasty?!"
In fact, Zhuge Hui was the same now. He couldn't believe it for a moment, so he could only cover up his feelings with anger.
That was Tuoba Lie's second son, and he would actually become a captured rebel.
Of course Zhugehui knew that Tuoba had different ambitions, and he was always on guard against it.
However, even if they intend to rebel, they should know how to ensure the safety of their children!
He couldn't figure out why Tuobajie was captured.
Could it be that I have always overestimated the Tuoba clan?
"Your Majesty, calm down, Prime Minister, calm down! Tuoba Shangshu and his family are loyal to the emperor and serve the country. There must be a misunderstanding..." Duanmu Cao, the Minister of Rites, also hurriedly came out.
Duan Yunyi said coldly: "This is the personal experience of my fifty Xuan Guards. Tuobajie has been sent to Runan to prosecute and his identity has been confirmed."
"No, Your Majesty, what is going on..." Duanmu Cao was also anxious.
Lin Duan, who was standing by, sighed: "Duanmu Shangshu, Tuobajie led a thousand Tianri Sect rebels in an attempt to attack the caravan. It was Lei Hong, the chief guard of the Lanling Marquis Mansion, who led his brothers to Eighteen light cavalry broke into the enemy's formation, defeated the enemy, and captured Tuobajie."
"Leihong?!" The middle-aged man in the audience shrank his pupils.
This person is none other than Gong Yangyun, the Minister of War!
Back then, it was he who angered Lei Hong and received a good beating from Lei Hong. In the end, Lei Hong was dismissed from his post and investigated, and would never be hired.
