1338 hustle and bustle all the way
Between the north and south of Luo Vietnam, there is a mountain range called Yunhai Mountain, which is quite famous in the local area. Yunhai Mountain twists and turns, the mountains are steep, the jungle is dense, and there are many paths, like a labyrinth.
According to Ruan Xiongqi, when Zhao Tuo tried to absorb Luo Yue, he was blocked by this mountain and finally gave up, and compared to Luo Yue, this is a natural barrier.
After a few days in Nei'an City, Wang Baoyu led a reunited army of 90,000 and marched towards the famous Yunhai Mountain.
There is no need to doubt that Yunhai Mountain must be heavily guarded by Luo Yue, and the unique terrain is very favorable to Luo Yue's defense.
At this time, Wang Baoyu missed Zhang Qiying very much, and she should have been brought with her in this battle, the eagle from the north could come in handy in reconnoitering the terrain, and it was no wonder that Wang Baoyu did not expect to go so far.
Of course, Wang Baoyu also made a mistake in strategy, and he shouldn't have transported all those warships, otherwise, he could also bypass the sea and attack Jiuzhen City directly, and he could turn back and fight Yunhaishan again.
The army marched all the way, and after half a month, they finally saw the Yunhai Mountain Range. As its name suggests, the sea of clouds is mountainous, the altitude is higher, the dangerous peaks are everywhere, halfway up the mountainside, the white clouds gather and stretch, especially when the mist falls in the early morning, it is just like a surging sea of clouds.
The topography of Yunhai Mountain is very special, the mountains are all showing an arc-shaped trend, and the mountains are one by one, and it is impossible to distinguish where is the road that can be passed.
The army did not rush deeper, and set up camp five miles away from Yunhai Mountain, and Wang Baoyu gathered everyone to discuss the barrier of such a pass.
According to their analysis, there are many mountain roads here, and it is impossible to defend them one by one.
"Baoyu, why don't you and I go and investigate again?" Ma Yunlu asked.
Wang Baoyu waved his hand and said: "This is not that cliff, the area is too big, it may not be able to remember it all, besides, even if they find a way, it is difficult to guarantee that their army will not move." ”
Mo Qianxun agreed with Wang Baoyu's point of view, although he also knew the abilities of the Wind Tiger and the White Flame Ox, but it was difficult to guarantee that Luo Yue would have no sorcerers at stake, and if Wang Baoyu made a mistake, all his efforts would be wasted.
In the end, the result of the discussion was that for the time being, we would not move our troops and get the topographic map of Yunhai Mountain first. When the meeting ended, Wang Baoyu found that there seemed to be thorns under Kolo's buttocks, and he couldn't sit still.
"Kolo, have something to say!" Wang Baoyu said funny.
"Hehe, king, this matter is very easy, just find the woodcutter here to explore the way!" Ke Luo hurriedly said again.
"Hmph, you haven't explored a mountain road before, and the mountains here are continuous, how can you use your brain?" Ma Yunlu said disdainfully.
"It's a way to go, you can try it." Ke Luo said with a red face, originally the martial arts were not as good as Princess Yun, and the victory last time was not martial, which made Ke Luo feel that he couldn't raise his head in front of a woman, so whenever he talked to Ma Yunlu, Ke Luo was not confident enough.
"Okay, then try." Wang Baoyu finally made a decision, and this task was still handed over to Ke Luo.
Determined to be ashamed, he personally led a thousand soldiers and horses to find it, day and night, very attentively. But after being busy for several days, not a single woodcutter was found, and it seems that Luo Yue's side had already taken precautions and moved or imprisoned the woodcutters. Chloe was disappointed, his spirits were low, and his head was drooping.
Mo Qianxun's brows were twisted into knots, it was not a way to go on like this, and in the end he could only arrange for the soldiers to venture into the mountains to explore the way. Three days later, only a few of the dozens of soldiers who had gone out to explore the road returned, all with wounds, presumably the missing soldiers were either dead or captured.
The news brought by these soldiers, they got lost after entering, they couldn't figure out the southeast and northwest, and they didn't know where Luo Yuebing was hiding, they were all injured by bows and arrows.
Jiuzhen City should be the last battle of this southern expedition, and it has been more than half a year since he left Yiling, Wang Baoyu can't help but be impatient, and he really can't sit still. He pondered, it really can't be done, and he can only ride the Wind Tiger to explore the road in person, the army has already arrived here, and it can't fall short.
"Baoyu, don't take any chances!" Mo Qianxun learned of Wang Baoyu's thoughts and hurriedly stopped him.
"But there's no other way to do it right now." Wang Baoyu sighed.
"I'm going with you!" Ma Yunlu leaned close to Wang Baoyu and vowed to live and die with him.
"Never!" Mo Qianxun waved his hand again and again, and said: "I really have no choice, I can only withdraw and fight again next year." ”
"Chihiro, one year is ten years for me, I can't wait that long." Wang Baoyu said resolutely.
"Baoyu, I know that this trip is difficult, but I can't stop you, if there is an accident, how can I explain to Queen Zhao?" Mo Qianxun was anxious, and tears appeared in his eyes.
"Wen Ji knows me best." Wang Baoyu said faintly.
Just when Wang Baoyu wanted to explore in person, early that morning, the guards outside the tent picked up something and sent it in happily.
This is a roll of white silk, Wang Baoyu unfolded it and took a look, it was the topographic map of Yunhai Mountain, which not only marked each road, but even deliberately demarcated some locations, which should be the ambush place of Luo Yue.
Judging from the map, Luo Yuebing should be divided into ten teams, guarding nearly twenty mountain roads, and the distance between the two teams is not far, showing a trend of echoing.
It's a send-off! But who sent such an important topographic map? The guards didn't know at all, only that they had suddenly found it outside the tent.
The camp is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for ordinary people to come in, so it may come from the inside. Wang Baoyu became suspicious, in case this map was fake, the army would face very strict consequences.
After looking at this map for a long time, Wang Baoyu still saw something unusual, there was a smell of sandalwood on the white silk, and at the bottom of the map, it seemed that there were some water stains in the ravines, and it seemed to be traces left by transparent glue.
Wang Baoyu walked outside the tent with the map, and carefully observed the sunlight, and those traces gradually became clear, and it turned out to be a verse.
"All the way to the hustle and bustle, the six roots are not clean. Greed, hatred, and madness, and all living beings are miserable. Put down the butcher's knife and go back to the roots. Although the whole world is big, there is a pool of pure water. ”
The verses are full of the flavor of Buddhism, which is to persuade yourself to commit less killing and turn back as soon as possible. The last two sentences are inexplicable, it doesn't seem to rhyme too much, Wang Baoyu read it several times, and finally saw two words on it, which are Pujing.
