The affairs of Daijun have been arranged, and the time has reached the end of September, so Gao Yuan also decided to set off from Daijun to the station of the Bailing Clan. Because this is something that has been decided a long time ago, Li Yinghong has no objection, and stays in Dai County with peace of mind to act as an administrator for the plateau.

Of course, this time on the trip, it can't be publicly announced that it is to find the Bailing clan, only that the plateau is out to patrol the border, and among the ministers of the county, in addition to officials with special identities such as Zhao Xuan and Jiang Huanwu, only Ning Qi, Shen Shen, Geng Zhong, Zhang Liang and Chun Yu's father and daughter know.

Zhang Liang was about to rush to Qi to continue to negotiate with Qi and Chu to discuss the alliance, and the other three had long been accustomed to going out on the plateau, leaving Li Yinghong to govern at home, and the Bailing people did play a huge role in Daijun, and the three of them also knew that if they could really recruit all the Bailing people to Daijun, it would indeed greatly enhance the strength of Daijun, so they had no objection to this trip on the plateau, but just said some things like being careful on the road and being safe all the way.

So Gao Yuan ordered that Zhao Xuan and Jiang Huanwu should also stay in Dai County, one is to assist Li Yinghong, and the other is to be afraid that the masters of Han Teng's side will sneak attack Dai County, with Zhao Xuan and Jiang Huan Wu two masters in Dai County, plus Guiguzi secretly protecting, Gao Yuan can be completely assured. Among the wives and concubines on the plateau, of course Yun Yao wants to travel with the plateau, and the others stay in Daijun, but Luo Huan and Jiang Mingxia also accompanied them, although Lin Wenqing was still a little reluctant, but he also knew that his son did need more experience, and this time he returned from the expedition with the plateau, Luo Huan's spiritual temperament was very different, which showed that the experience was not shallow, so he did not stop it.

However, to Gao Yuan's surprise, this time Chun Yu's father and daughter's actions were not consistent, Chun Yubo decided to leave Dai County, in the name of study tours, to Qi Chu and other activities to assist Dai County to promote the unity of the Three Kingdoms, but Chun Yu Zhongxiu wanted to go with the plateau and appreciate the customs outside the Saiwai.

Gao Yuan has always respected the attitude of Chun Yu's father and daughter, Chun Yubo is a famous man in the world, and he is active in secret, of course, it is beneficial to promote the early establishment of the Three Kingdoms, and Chun Yu Zhongxiu wants to go to Saiwai, there is no inconvenience, because there are a lot of daughters and children on this trip, and during this time in Daijun, Chun Yu Zhongxiu and Gao Yuan's wives and concubines get along well, and they are Li Yinghong and Yun Yao, they both participated in the battle against Qin together, so it is no problem to bring Chun Yu Zhongxiu.

However, this time to go to the station of the Bailing tribe, to cross the grassland, all through the station of many grassland nomads, because it is now the Xiongnu in the grassland more and more powerful, and and Dai County has long formed a grudge, although there has been no large-scale attack on Dai County in recent years, but the small-scale attack has never been interrupted, but the plateau attack on the Xiongnu has long been prepared, in the border to make full preparations, and recruited a large number of grassland nomads to settle outside the Yanmen Pass, not only increased the population of Dai County, but also strengthened the protection of the border, Therefore, the attack of the Xiongnu did not cause much damage to Daijun.

But this time to go deep into the grassland, along the road will certainly not be safe and sound, so of course the plateau can not but make preparations, this trip, the plateau a total of 2,500 people and horses, including 200 scout cavalry, 1,000 cavalry, 500 heavy cavalry and 600 back army infantry, by Ling Feng, A Ran Shi Qimo, Zhong Sun Qi three people as the main general, and the plateau guard, the wind 36 horses, take half of it, leave half. Li Yinghong also allocated 200 female soldiers, led by Han Xiuwan and Wu Hongling, so that they could protect Yun Yao and the women of the Bailing clan along the way, and according to the establishment of the army, all the infantry were also equipped with war horses, because this time it was a long-distance trip, so the infantry and ordinary cavalry were equipped with two horses, one for riding, and the other to carry the materials carried by the soldiers, and the heavy armored cavalry was equipped with three war horses, and a horse was also divided into a horse to carry the heavy armor, and more than 200 carts were also brought to transport food, drinking water, tents, felt and other thingsAs a result, this trip brought a total of more than 6,000 horses.

Feng Hao and Yun Jing, the two Zhushi leaders of the Bai Ling Clan, were naturally very happy to see that Gao Yuan had finally decided to set off to the Bai Ling Clan's station, because after waiting for more than half a year, the two and the other clansmen decided to take only half of the clan back with the plateau, and the rest of the people still stayed in Dai County, still helping Dai Jun train the beast army, or treating the soldiers and civilians of Dai County.

In addition, the Bailing clan also brought a group of beast troops, including sixty wolves, thirty apes, twenty tigers, bears and leopards, and dozens of flying birds for reconnaissance and transmission of information.

It can be said that this trip, although there are not many people and horses brought out, but the strength is not weak at all, even if it encounters the army of the Huns, it can withstand it for a while, so it is completely more than enough to protect itself.

After making all the preparations, Gao Yuan led a large group of men and horses, as well as a herd of beasts, from Daijun to the north.

―――――――― Dividing Line――――――――― Dividing Line―――――――― "Has the Plateau Started?" ”

"Miss Huiyu, early this morning, Gao Yuan led the army from Daijun, what should we do? If you want to ambush the plateau, this is a great opportunity, this time the plateau to the Bailing clan, the people and horses will not be too much, although we have not made a big move in the past few years, but we have always maintained contact with the Huns, if we join forces with the Huns, there is an eighty percent chance of killing the plateau on the grassland. ”

"The lord has already ordered, this time you are not allowed to do anything, go with the plateau."

"But ......"

"No need, but, this is the lord's order, and we must respect it." Shui Xinyue said lightly: "Pang Juan, do you dare to disobey the lord's order?" ”

Pang Juan hurriedly said: "The subordinates don't dare." ”

Shui Xinyue nodded and said, "That's good, tell the people below to do things with peace of mind, but no one has much to do." After a pause, he said, "It is not allowed to raise the original thing anymore." ”

On Han Teng's orders, Shui Xinyue has been lurking in Daijun, planting spies, and exploring all kinds of information in Daijun, and it has been almost three years. When Shui Xinyue first arrived in Daijun, it happened that the spy personnel sent by Qin State to Daijun were exposed, and they were almost uprooted by Daijun, so Shui Xinyue did not dare to make any rash moves, and changed the conspicuous practice of Qin State in the past to open the way with money and bribe officials in power, and opened a small inn in Daijun, opened a trading house, formed a caravan, and operated honestly.

Because the procedures of the inn and the business house are complete, and they are doing business in peace, so these two inns and the business house did not attract the attention of the Dai County government, so they successfully took root in the Dai County, and the economic development of the Dai County has been very fast in recent years, and Shui Xinyue is on the grassland, because it has some relationship with the Xiongnu tribe, as a result, in the past few years, the business situation of the inn and the business house is good, and it is also famous in the business community of Dai County, and now Shui Xinyue's people working under him have reached more than 300 people, Including five caravans, and taking advantage of the scale of the trading houses, branches were set up in Yunzhong County, Yanmen County, and Shanggu County. There are almost more than 300 Eridium gold transactions every year, and the profit is more than 500 Eridium gold.

And with the help of the development of inns and commercial houses, Shui Xinyue also arranged a group of spy personnel to infiltrate Daijun, and in addition to operating, began to pay attention to collecting information on Daijun, but Shui Xinyue also knew that Daijun had an agency of Jinyiwei, not only responsible for arranging spy personnel in other countries to collect intelligence, but also responsible for the affairs of counter-espionage in Daijun, Qin's spy system in Daijun was hit hard, and Jinyiwei contributed a lot, so Shui Xinyue did not dare to be careless in the slightest, and carefully carried out intelligence collection, I didn't dare to take too big a move, and I didn't dare to go beyond the scope of businessmen, and openly bribed and bribed the officials of Daijun.

However, in this way, the effectiveness of intelligence collection work is quite limited, like this battle, Shui Xinyue basically did not provide Han Teng with any valuable information, compared with Jinyiwei's actions, it is really dwarfed, because it is the Dai Army's assault on Jijing In the first battle, Daijun's Jinyiwei actually took the lead, showing strong activity ability.

This time, Shui Xinyue was able to collect information that the plateau was going to the Bailing Clan's station, in fact, it was a bit accidental, and it was a little clue from the conversation between the two Bailing people, coupled with Shui Xinyue's inference, it was the first time that she received effective information.

However, Han Teng also knew that it was not easy to establish a perfect intelligence system, and it required a long-term layout, so that he would lose a defeat if he faced an opponent like Gao Yuan, and he would lose a defeat if he was not careful, so he did not rush to Shui Xinyue's requirements, and still asked Shui Xinyue to fight steadily and gradually expand, this time he learned that Gao Yuan was going to the station of the Bailing Clan, Han Teng did not ask Shui Xinyue to act, on the one hand, because he couldn't pull away, and on the other hand, because Shui Xinyue's power in Dai County was still very weak. It is difficult to launch large-scale operations.

Shui Xinyue said again: "How about the opening of a branch in Julu County and Yuyang County?" ”

Pang Juan hurriedly said: "The formalities have been completed, and we have already sent someone to rent a house in Jicheng, but Lingshou on the side of Julu County is preparing to rebuild, so we can't find a suitable location in the city for a while." ”

Shui Xinyue nodded, and said: "You can start opening a branch in Yuyang County right away and start to start business, and Lingshou should also hurry up, if you can't find a suitable location in the city for a while, you can find it outside the city first, and the most important thing is to gain a foothold in Lingshou." Julu and Yuyang counties are the places where the plateau has just occupied, and now the plateau has not very strong control over these two places, which is a good time for us to gain a foothold in these two places, because it is Julu County, the plateau has decided to move the capital to Lingshou, if we can take a step and arrange the eyeliner in Lingshou, then it will be very convenient for us to collect intelligence in the future, so we must hurry up, if we wait until the plateau moves to Lingshou, it will be arranged, it will be too late. ”

Pang Juan hurriedly said: "Yes, my subordinates will handle it as soon as possible." ”
