Liao Fengyu stayed at the blood camp after Yanhui Legion for a total of two days before leaving.
Yu Ziping came out with several personal guards to see him off.
Huh!
The little guard looked at the sky in surprise.
"General, the snow has stopped."
Yu Ziping nodded, looking at the retreating figures of Liao Fengyu and others with emotion.
Military Master Liao is truly a god.
His first words two days ago were that the snow would stop soon. Now that he is leaving, the snow will really stop.
"General, it seems that the Starfall Legion is serious. Should we report to... General Tian?"
When Tian Hongyan's name was mentioned, the little guard couldn't help but stutter.
These days, they are really being scolded and frightened by the folks around them. Even the soldiers in Houxue Camp were unwilling to mention the name of their own legion general.
"It should be." Yu Ziping nodded slightly.
No matter what, they are still subordinates of the Yanhui Legion, and all actions must first obtain the permission of the legion general.
Ordinary trivial things are like this, let alone such a big thing as sending 20,000 troops to attack Beihaiguan.
The young guard looked ugly, "General, if General Tian is like the previous Dingxi counterattack... what should we do?"
Do you really go out with one man and one horse, or only with your own bodyguards?
Yu Ziping smiled slightly.
He looked at the heavy snow between the sky and the earth in front of him.
"With such heavy snow and such a long distance, it's normal that the news we sent out can't reach Dingxi County for a while, isn't it?"
The little guard's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
"That's what the general said. The snow is too deep and the road is really difficult."
Dingxi County, where the Yanhui Legion is stationed.
Tian Hongyan has not been going well in the past few months.
It wasn't that the soldiers below would point fingers at him in person, but the news fed back from Star City made him a little uneasy.
It can be said that except for Emperor Changxing who remained silent, almost everyone in Xingji City criticized him verbally and writtenly.
Especially the fat man Chen Xiulan, King of Jin, made Tian Hongyan unhappy the most.
"Sell sell Phi."
Looking at the information above his head, he cursed secretly.
Rather than saying that Chen Xiulan has a big heart and a fat body, it is better to say that she is big-headed and brainless.
No matter what the occasion, whether it was the Golden Palace in the Imperial Palace, the restaurant in Xingji City or even the classroom of Guozi Lin, he would curse and accuse the Yanhui Legion and Tian Hongyan himself, and in his words he wanted to kill them...
Fortunately, this damn fat man should not become Yun Chui's crown prince, otherwise Tian Hongyan should consider the future of himself and his family.
"General," the military advisor came over, and the two of them looked at the heavy snow outside. "After the heavy snow melts, in March or April next year, Xingluo should be planning how to regain Beikuan."
"Probably." Tian Hongyan nodded slightly, "It may be later, but with Wei Junqian's temperament, he will take action sooner or later."
"Then Yu Ziping of the Blood Camp..." The military advisor hesitated for a moment, "Should we give him a clear instruction?"
hehe.
Tian Hongyan shook his head, "No need."
Based on Wei Junqian's temperament, it is estimated that the day after Beihai Pass fell into the hands of Japanese pirates, he should have sent people to Houxue Camp to find Yu Ziping.
And with Yu Ziping's passionate and impulsive temperament, he would agree nine times out of ten.
What's more, there is also a Star City.
Compared with the distant southern and western frontiers, Emperor Changxing has always been more concerned about the northern frontier near Chichi.
As long as his imperial edict is issued to Yanhui County, all other instructions will have to take a back seat.
Therefore, it makes no difference whether they speak or not.
"Does the general support Yu Ziping in sending troops?" the military advisor asked again.
"Of course." Tian Hongyan understood what the military advisor meant and nodded gently.
"Our hometown is nearby, isn't it?"
After all, those who are not from our tribe must have different minds.
As a Yunchui man, he couldn't just watch the Japanese pirates gain a foothold in Beiguan, and then do evil in the three black counties of Yumu, Yanhui, and Jinghu, and even open the Great Wall to let Beixiong go south.
"That's right." The military advisor breathed out.
————
Guangxin County.
Ren Ning and Lei Er left Nanshu City again and rode to Nanguan, a new town.
"A rare visitor."
Yuan Xingwen winked while drinking tea.
"Didn't your kid just marry He Bai's eldest sister back home? Why are you going to Zhennanguan, a poor and remote place like mine, instead of hugging her at home?"
The two sides now knew each other well, so Ren Ning got straight to the point.
"It's said that you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I came here this time to do business with General Yuan."
"oh?"
Yuan Xingwen glanced at him thoughtfully.
"The imperial court has always emphasized agriculture and suppressed business. Businessmen have money but low status. The major legions are never allowed to do business blatantly. Don't you know this?"
Ren Ning laughed.
Of course he knows.
Thinking back to the time when he and the Gu family's caravan were walking together when sending the spirit back home, he didn't put up the spirit-protecting flag and the military flag.
"Tell me," Yuan Xingwen sat down carelessly, "What business needs my or Zhennanguan's help?"
Ren Ning took out the battle report from Huayang County and handed it over.
"I believe the general has read the detailed battle report of Dinghai Pier?"
Yuan Xingwen opened it and took a few glances. Seeing that it was no different from the battle report he had received, he nodded lightly.
"Our Guangxin's poisonous rubber contributed a lot to Huayang County's victory this time," Ren Ning said.
Yuan Xingwen was startled, but he quickly realized what he was doing and couldn't help but laugh and curse.
"Damn, you kid turned out to be interested in our Zhennanguan ship?"
Ren Ning laughed and nodded.
The Gu family caravan was already heading towards Guangxin.
But no one is sure how long it will take to capture Beiguan, so the more materials, the better.
In this era, there was a big drawback to traveling by land for caravans.
That is, once it is windy or rainy, it is easy to cause damage to the road. In addition, the cattle and horses pulling the cart need a lot of food to feed.
According to what Gu Shengnan once said, their caravan once suffered from bad luck.
The trade route was blocked, and the caravan was stuck on the road for three months. When the final delivery was made, the food consumed by cattle, horses and people was almost as expensive as the goods transported by the commercial vehicle...
It can be said that unless there is no waterway, land is the last choice.
From Guangxin, you can go straight out of the sea through the Huchou River, then go north along the coastline, and finally reach Beiguan.
"I wonder what the general's intention is?" Ren Ning asked.
The general level and war camp level are important weapons of the country, and he does not consider them. But Zhennanguan still had a huge number of transport ships in hand, and that was what Ren Ning wanted.
"Of course, no problem." Yuan Xingwen nodded decisively.
While making money through business, he could also help fight against Japanese pirates, so of course he wouldn't object.
"It's just..." Yuan Xingwen glanced out the window.
It's better to say that here in the south, the climate is as warm as summer, and sailing can be smooth sailing.
But to the north of Sulan County, not only is the north wind blowing, but even Japanese pirates are rampant, making boating not necessarily safe.
Ren Ning laughed.
"The climate is not a problem. As for the Japanese pirates, the East China Sea Barrier is right at home. We need to let them move around more."
Moreover, Lu Fuhai also wanted to buy some poisonous rubber and store it in the Pinghai County base camp in the cabin.
"In any case, I will ensure that General, your ship will return to Zhennanguan safe and sound next year."
"That's good!" Yuan Xingwen was not a mother-in-law person, so he immediately agreed.
As for how much the boat rental should be, others have gone to Nanshu City to discuss it with Li Hezhu and Yingpan, so they don't need to ask.
Ren Ning collected the battle report, looked at the vast sea on the map, and shook his head.
"The sea is vast and extends in all directions, but it is really difficult for a ship to rely solely on human oars. If I have enough iron on hand, I can get a machine to make the ship run automatically."
