Northland, Yanmen.
On a dark moonlit night with high winds, we are marching on the road.
One hundred thousand garrison troops, covered with stars and moons, moved silently from west to east like a giant dark crawling snake in the dark northern wasteland.
Night vision is a basic skill practiced by the garrison.
While soldiers from other countries only pursued powerful martial arts and combat prowess, Fan Li put forward different training requirements for the garrison.
In addition to night vision, there are also practices such as resistance to heat, cold, and poison.
The unique way of training soldiers highlighted its value at this moment.
One hundred thousand troops marched through the wasteland at night, and their speed was not slow at all.
They are practitioners by nature. Even if their grades are generally not high, they can still travel thousands of miles at night.
Fan Li looked at the map and estimated the distance in his mind.
"In one night at most, our army will reach the north of Yunzhou City."
It's almost dawn.
Fan Li had already issued a military order, no matter whether the soldiers still had physical strength, they must rest during the day.
Only travel at night to ensure that the whereabouts of the army are absolutely secret.
"The whole army is encamped."
When the first ray of morning light broke across the horizon, the herald conveyed Fan Li's general order.
All the scouts in the army were dispersed and monitored from all directions to prevent any practitioners from approaching and discovering the army's retreat.
"Another day of sitting around."
Fan Li took out a recliner from his storage bag, set it up, and lay on it comfortably.
"I don't know what the current situation of the coalition forces is."
"There are 450,000 Ming troops in Yunzhou City, and they rely on a fortified city to defend it. Only a fool would attack the city by force."
Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, Guo Jia.
Not only are these three people not stupid, they are also full of ingenuity and infinite wisdom.
Fan Li was even a little curious, what kind of good idea could these three guys come up with to deal with the great general king in Yunzhou City?
"Bring the Yunzhou sand table!"
Fan's Trading Company is spread all over the world, and even enemy countries like the Ming Dynasty have a large amount of trade with Fan's Trading Company.
Trading houses absolutely abide by laws and regulations in the Ming Dynasty, but this did not prevent spies from taking the opportunity to measure the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty.
The sand table is more intuitive and clearer than the map, and is especially suitable for a half-hearted commander like Fan Li.
A muffled sound!
Zhao Tieniu moved the entire long sand table weighing several hundred kilograms and dropped it heavily on the ground.
A model of Yunzhou City shrunk 100,000 times is among them.
"Be gentle, you idiot, do you know how expensive this sand table is?" Fan Li said angrily.
When making a sand table, craftsmanship comes second. The key is the accuracy of geographical information.
The exact same Yunzhou City sand table was sold by Fan's Trading Company to the three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Wu for a "friendly price" of 10 million spirit stones.
Moreover, no after-sales repair services are provided.
If the sand table is damaged, it can only be repurchased at the original price.
The so-called giants either monopolize the market or master technology that cannot be copied.
Fan's Trading Company owns both, how can it not be rich in the world?
Zhao Tieniu was not angry at all when he was scolded. He just smiled honestly and said, "Don't worry, my lord, this sandbox is much stronger than yours and will not be broken easily."
Fan Li was speechless for a moment, but in the end he was amused by Zhao Tieniu's sincerity.
"Okay, you're great."
"Tell me, suppose you are the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms and face the 450,000 Ming army in Yunzhou City. How do you plan to defeat the enemy?"
Fan Li asked casually, but he didn't expect Zhao Tieniu's answer at all. Instead, he fell into deep thought.
Yunzhou City is the gateway to the north of the Ming Dynasty. It defends against foreign enemies to the north and backs up to the prosperous hinterland of the Ming Dynasty to the south.
This kind of terrain cannot even be besieged.
With the continuous supply of materials sent from the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, Yunzhou City will have no problem even if it confronts the coalition forces for twenty or thirty years.
"Trouble."
"Yunzhou City is truly worthy of being the fortress of the Northern Frontier of the Ming Dynasty."
"As long as we can't hold on, it will be impossible to forcefully attack the city with the strength of the coalition forces. In the end, the coalition forces will have to withdraw their troops and return home."
Fan Li stared at the sand table, his head growing more and more dizzy the more he looked at it.
From Daming's perspective, this is clearly a game that can be won without a fight, very stable!
"Hu Zongxian..."
Fan Li slowly read out a name.
He remembered that in his previous life, Hu Zongxian and Yu Qian were called the 'two ministers with the most merits'. Their abilities were extraordinary!
Hu Zongxian must have thought of the strategy of persistence and victory.
Fan Li couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"After all the hard work, it won't be in vain if you take such a long detour, right?"
"Forget it, let's meet this famous person at least."
Fan Li talked to himself, his voice not loud.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice floated down from the sky, full of surprise and a hint of jealousy.
"Who did you want to see when you traveled all the way to the northern desert?"
When Fan Li heard the sound, he was so shocked that he froze!
He looked up in disbelief and saw a figure.
Tsing Yi, hair tied.
Although she is a woman, she is dressed in a neutral style, like Han Yue.
Fan Li swallowed hard and forced a smile: "Hanyue, I haven't seen you for a long time. Is this... such a coincidence?"
What a coincidence!
Fan Li roared in his heart!
After marching hard at night for more than half a month, we were finally discovered!
With Holy Lord Hanyue's fourth-level cultivation in the Mahayana realm, it's no wonder that the elite scouts of the garrison couldn't find her, but she easily found the headquarters of the Chinese army.
"It's quite a coincidence."
Han Yue bit her lower lip lightly, and a trace of blush appeared on her beautiful face.
She turned sideways to Fan Li and actually pulled off the blue scarf that bound her hair.
Her long hair fell down like a waterfall and was tied back into a ponytail.
The androgynous appearance that had been heroic and elegant just now suddenly became a little more supple. Coupled with her gradually reddish ears, it would be no exaggeration to say that she would be charming.
Han Yue turned around and stared at Fan Li with frowning eyebrows.
"I thought... you were here to visit me."
Fan Li: "???"
What kind of tiger-wolf talk is this?
Am I looking for death?
Traveling thousands of miles to this northern wilderness, I take the initiative to let you stab me with two swords?
Fan Li didn't understand.
She is the noble Holy Lord of the Daci Dynasty and the adoptive mother of Emperor Xiang Chong of Chu.
Although he hadn't seen her for many days, Fan Li thought she was either enjoying the blessings in the Great Chu Palace or practicing in the Pure Land. Why did she come to the North?
"You haven't answered the question I just asked."
Hanyue spoke again, looking like she had to get to the bottom of it.
"You are the majestic Duke Jin of Chu, and you actually stoop down to such a barbaric place. Whose girl is so beautiful that she lured you here?"
Fan Li continued to have a question mark on his face.
Do you look like a hungry ghost in porn?
Moreover, Han Yue couldn't see that she was accompanied by a hundred thousand troops?
"This...I..."
He didn't know how to answer, but happened to see Zhao Tieniu next to him.
"You idiot!" Fan Li scolded: "Didn't you see that I have a distinguished guest? Why don't you hurry up and prepare the food and drinks! In addition, call Zhao Da, Zhao Er, and Zhao San to come... to accompany you with the wine!"
Fan Li actually wanted to say, gather the entire army to protect me!
But even with all his courage, he couldn't say this.
When Han Yue heard that Fan Li treated her as a distinguished guest, the corner of Han Yue's mouth curled up with a beautiful smile.
"You, have you forgotten my habits?"
"As long as you entertain me, there is no need for anyone else to accompany me."
Hanyue's tone instantly became gentle.
She waved her hand and said to Zhao Tieniu: "Just bring the wine and food. There is no need for the wine company to come."
Zhao Tieniu looked at Fan Li, then at Han Yue, and nodded.
"Sir, if you drink with your mother-in-law, you won't be able to make up for the rest of your brothers."
