Chapter 404: More than a hundred light rides across the northwest
After leaving the Yuanyang Thief's mountain village, Yao Ruoyu and others rushed all the way. In the grassland, Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong could not argue, and they were all led by Lao An, the second leader of Yuanyang Thief's.
On the way, Yao Ruoyu was bored and chatted with Yu Jieyi about the mandarin duck robbers.
Among them, Lao An is two generations of old ministers. When he was the leader of the gang, he was the second leader. Later, he died in battle. He did not fight for him, and allowed Yu Jieyi to succeed him and helped her stabilize the people's hearts.
Sitting on the back of the horse, Yao Ruoyu looked back and looked at the riding team who was hiding in stirrups from time to time, or the two of them swapped their horses in the air. In short, it was very noisy and had no discipline at all.
Seeing his eyes, Xu Xuanrong sneered: "Why, compare them with your Dark Night Dragon Rider?"
Yao Ruoyu smiled and nodded: "Yes! Sister Yu is also a person who has led cavalry. After she goes back, she can build a cavalry for her."
"It's so nepotism!" sighed, and Xu Xuanrong laughed, "Sichuan is mountainous, and we don't have the secret technique of the Black Lotus Sect that can ignore the terrain. What's the use of too many cavalry? The cost of the cavalry is three times that of the infantry. The Dark Night Dragon Knight and the Thunder God Army have a total of 18,000 people. In addition, they need at least 30,000 war horses. Do you know their price and daily consumption?"
After touching his nose, Yao Ruoyu smiled: "If you don't build it, don't be angry!"
Seeing his lazy appearance, Xu Xuanrong was helpless and sighed: "I have such a good relationship with Sister Yu, and I didn't deliberately make things difficult for her. She might be able to lead the horse thief to rob, but like Brother Jie and the others, they would lead nine thousand people to march and charge, and most of them would have no wins or losses."
Yao Ruoyu smiled bitterly and did not continue to speak.
Everyone galloped for several hours, and the horses were tired, so they stopped by a river to rest.
The bandits in the northern border were rampant, and there were a hundred people in their group, which was quite large. When the bandits from various families saw that they were just passing by, they had no intention of asking for trouble for them after weighing them, and let them pass by.
Three days later, the group arrived at the northern border and walked further to the extent of Ningxia.
Ningxia was originally the former site of the Xixia Kingdom and the main road of the Silk Road. It is known as the Jiangnan area on the frontier, and it can be said to be beautiful.
Unfortunately, during the Chinese war period, the Western Xia Dynasty destroyed the country, and the clans of various branches fled in various places. Some were hunted and killed and destroyed, some surrendered to the Jin Kingdom, and some lived in seclusion in various places, such as the Li family in Taoyuan and the Li family in Qiang.
After entering Ningxia, everyone was much more careful. Yao Ruoyu was leading the way. With his current strength, his spiritual consciousness could cover a thousand feet in a radius. So, along the way, everyone avoided scouts from several tribes to investigate, which was considered as safe.
However, after the seventh day, the number of scouts in each tribe suddenly doubled, and it seemed that they were searching for something, which significantly reduced the marching rate of the crowd and almost caught people several times.
"It should be that the Jin Kingdom knew that you were in northern Xinjiang and thought you would go south from here to Sichuan, so I started to investigate."
After riding a horse for several days, Xu Xuanrong's face became much haggard. After all, she was not Yang Renjie and other military generals who carried swords and rode on horses. Although she was a fifth-level spiritual master, her body was still a little weak. She wore a fox fur and her face was pale. Her expression was no longer as vicious and mean as before, and she had a bit of the delicate and gentleness of Lin Meimei.
Yao Ruoyu saw it and felt secretly caring in his heart. However, he knew the right way and did not dare to care too much. Seeing her saying this, he quickly nodded and said, "Why find a place to hide first?"
Shaking his head, Xu Xuanrong said softly: "I can't hide. This is the territory of the Jin people. They know where to hide. It's better to break through directly. If they hide, they will probably become turtles in the jar."
As he was talking, Yao Ruoyu's face suddenly sterned and he looked up at the front. Seeing this, Lao An quickly raised his hand, ordered everyone to stop, and asked, "Prince, is there anyone in front of him?"
Squinted his eyes, Yao Ruoyu said in a deep voice: "Well, there is a team of scouts, with about a hundred people, divided into... ten teams, blocking the road ahead and unable to escape."
"Then you can only break through." Yu Jieyi clenched her fists and frowned.
"No hurry," Xu Xuanrong suddenly looked at Yao Ruoyu and asked, "I remember you used spiritual techniques to control Ke Dayi. Can you find a way to control the brains of these tribes before the scouts came?"
After a moment of silence, Yao Ruoyu finally remembered that Ke Dayi was a bandit in the Jialing River that he was controlled by him back then.
To be honest, Wenbang has been fighting on the sixth ground until the rise of the rise. Ke Dayi, the naval commander, has never fought. So later, Yao Ruoyu almost forgot about a naval army under the Military Affairs Office, and Ke Dayi.
"How is he now?" Yao Ruoyu asked casually. Seeing Xu Xuanrong standing up, he quickly laughed apologetically, then stood up with a sword and flew forward.
In a cup of tea, everyone saw him return with his sword again. He had just fallen back to his horse's back. He had already said, "There are three tribes in front, and my brains are controlled by me. They have taken back all the scouts and leave quickly. It takes too long to attract attention."
Seeing this, everyone quickly rode their horses and galloped. On the way afterwards, Yao Ruoyu did the same thing. If he could, he would avoid it. If he could, he would take action to control the tribe's brain and create gaps for everyone to pass by.
Ten days later, everyone finally passed through Ningxia and entered the Longdong area of Gansu.
During this period, Yao Ruoyu had already remembered the map and knew that he would continue to move south here. He could reach Dazhou by passing through Longdong, Pingliang, Tianshui and Longnan. There was Wenbang's territory.
However, they kept rushing around these days, even Yao Ruoyu and Yu Jieyi were exhausted, so everyone searched for a cave in the nearby mountains and rested for a night, and then they returned early the next morning.
Compared with Ningxia, Gansu's blockade is obviously much stronger.
Along the way, not only the exploration of horses from various tribes, but also the garrisons from various cities were also involved in the blockade and search.
After finally getting around several teams of horses to explore, Yao Ruoyu and the others finally bumped into a team of cavalry from Huachi. Fortunately, the other party did not have the five realms to take charge. Yao Ruoyu and Yu Jieyi took the lead and killed the cavalry within a moment.
However, the destruction of this team of cavalry undoubtedly exposed the whereabouts of Yao Ruoyu and others.
In the next three days, everyone encountered seven cavalry groups, two of which were in charge of the five realms, but in the end they were solved one by one by one.
As the Jin people showed their traces, the scouts and horse searches along the way also increased several times. Even though Yao Ruoyu's spiritual consciousness could cover a thousand feet of radius, he could not escape them all.
Fortunately, there were three five realms, Yao Ruoyu, Yu Jieyi, and Xu Xuanrong, who were in charge, and everyone finally left Longdong without any danger and entered Pingliang's territory.
It was probably because of the Jin Kingdom that they thought they were still in Longdong and Pingliang's blockade was far less than that in Longdong. Everyone was cautious along the way and kept taking detours. In the end, they successfully entered Tianshui four days later without anyone showing up.
The terrain of Tianshui is east-west, and the distance between north and south is short. According to Xu Xuanrong's estimate, as long as he can successfully avoid exploration, he can pass through here in at most two days.
But what surprised Yao Ruoyu was that since he entered Tianshui territory, he had not even encountered a team of horses, just as if there was no news about Yao Ruoyu and the others going to pass in Tianshui City.
This strange situation made everyone more alert. Even the young horse thieves dared not be as relaxed as before. They held the knife one by one, for fear that the enemy would suddenly jump out of the side.
However, there were indeed no team of cavalry intercepting each other along the way. With this nervous mood, everyone galloped for two days and arrived at the border south of Tianshui without any danger.
The boundary between Tianshui and Longnan is extremely vast, but there are only two places that can be used by people. The Jin Kingdom will definitely send heavy troops to station at these two valley entrances. Yao Ruoyu and the others discussed it and finally chose the key road to the east to break through.
Seeing that the valley was about to reach, everyone's mood that had just relaxed became nervous again. Even Yao Ruoyu, Yu Jieyi and Xu Xuanrong's faces were no longer as dull as they were. Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong's spiritual consciousness expanded to the extreme, searching carefully around so as not to fall into the siege of the enemy.
However, when we walked all the way, we didn't even meet a team of ambushers. Yao Ruoyu's spiritual consciousness swept into the valley. There were only more than fifty infantrymen, but one of them was his acquaintance, or Yang Renjie's acquaintance. Feng Kewen, who helped the money to fight several times when Wenbang attacked Sichuan.
Yao Ruoyu has never fought with Feng Kewen, but from Cai Xudong and Yang Renjie, we can know that this person has great gun skills and a mature mind. Logically speaking, this person will never be able to bring only fifty people to stop him.
Just when he was strange, their arrival also appeared in the valley. The more than 50 infantrymen were suddenly panicked. Feng Kewen was not surprised or anxious, and walked out of the valley empty-handed and came straight towards them.
Yao Ruoyu pondered for a while, waved his hand to signal Yu Jieyi and others to relax, and then rushed forward.
When Yao Ruoyu was still ten feet away, Feng Kewen had stopped and looked at Yao Ruoyu with complicated eyes. After a while, he clasped his fists and bowed: "I haven't seen each other for several months, King Wen's style remains the same. He led more than a hundred light cavalry to cross the border of my Great Jin. His courage is admirable."
He pulled the corners of his mouth with a slight smile. Yao Ruoyu chuckled and said, "Brother Feng, are you polite, what's going on?"
After smiling, Feng Kewen said calmly: "The prince should know that there are only two passages between Tianshui and Longnan. Two days ago, someone found the traces of the prince and his group in the west, so the garrisons from Longnan and Tianshui went there to intercept them."
Yao Ruoyu was stunned when she heard this, her thoughts flew around, and she suddenly said in surprise: "You did it?"
"It's Feng," Feng Kewen nodded and said calmly, "In Chengdu, I owed Yang Renjie the life of your army. Even if I pay it back today, the infantry in the valley are my Tianshui City garrison, and they are all unruly thorns. If the prince is willing, he can kill them as much as possible, which will make it easier for me to take charge of Tianshui."
"Are you the Lord of Tianshui City?" Yao Ruoyu said with a laugh.
Feng Kewen said calmly: "I returned from Chengdu and was ordered by the emperor."
Feng Kewen admitted that it was to repay his kindness, and obviously he had no intention of joining Qing Dynasty. Yao Ruoyu did not make many polite decisions. After killing all the infantrymen in the valley, he called Yu Jieyi and others and planned to cross the valley.
However, before they left, Feng Kewen suddenly said a word through a message, and Yao Ruoyu's face looked ugly. He looked back at him, raised his whip and tweeted it, and rode his horse straight away.
