Chapter 121

After a few days' rest, Qin Murong's team finally set out again.

This time, some people were added. No one knew their identity. It seemed that they were ordinary people's families, but their carriage followed Qin Murong's luxurious carriage closely.

The rules in the team have also changed.

Everyone's clothes should abandon the characteristics of the state of Daliang, not to mention that they are from the state of Daliang, or even As long as they meet outsiders, they are not allowed to speak without Qin Murong's orders.

This kind of rule makes many people suspicious, but they have already formed the habit. They can't have any complaints to complete the rules set by Qin Murong.

The whole team's ban made Gongsun a little embarrassed.

She couldn't help saying to the old people around her: "Beiqi Is there such a team? "

The old man slowly shook his head, sighed and said: "princess, not to mention the Northern Qi Dynasty, it's the whole world. This team is also unique. Have you ever seen such a strong footman? Have you ever seen a cavalry that can be used as a Scout? Those war horses, like walking on the ground in the mountains, are like ghosts running

The princess sighed, lifted the curtain and looked at Qin Murong's carriage. She was full of doubts and said, "what kind of person is this guy? It's really terrible. "

"Yes Terrible... "

The old man looked around, and even stretched out his head to look around. When he found that no one was eavesdropping on him, he whispered: "princess, if you really let the eldest prince get that position, you will have a certain say in the Northern Qi Dynasty. The Northern Qi Dynasty has really become your home, and the first thing you need to do It's just to take him... "

Then the old man stretched out his finger and scratched his neck.

The princess's eyes twitched and said, "this I'm afraid not? "

The old man said: "this son, if he is a friend, he must be the most powerful power in the world. But if he is an enemy, he will also be the most terrible enemy in the world. Do you think he is on the side of Daliang or the side of Beiqi? There will always be a war between Daliang and the Northern Qi Dynasty. "

"Well..."

The princess nodded her head and was silent. She didn't know what she was thinking.

This time, because the people from Cuizhu manor led the way, the rest of the journey was obviously faster.

And Qin Murong didn't let 200 soldiers train again. The reason is Gongsun can't learn this way.

Qin Murong's way of training seems simple, but it is something that no one in the world has ever done.

Even for the most powerful army, the so-called training is nothing more than training some battle lines and killing skills. The troops are not in disorder, can convey good orders, do not appear deserters, and can have a certain integrity when fighting This is the best soldier!

Qin Murong's systematic training method starts from strengthening everyone's individual ability, and then strengthening the overall cooperation ability, plus a certain amount of brainwashing And so on extremely subtle but effective things, are in this world no one pays attention to.

Even if Qin Murong's army shows its strength in front of others, they will think it's just because these people are the best of the best and are selected from countless people. They won't think it's Qin Murong's training!

In short, the rule of the world is to be familiar with the use of people. I can find people of whatever rank I have. Therefore, all people with a certain status in the world are people with superior family circumstances or gifted talents.

As for the reason, it's not because the world is "stupid" or "stupid", but just because there are too many people who have few places to choose from!

So naturally, we need to use a simple method to select those who have good talent, or become strong through their own efforts, which is so simple.

In Qin Murong's world, there are many posts, but there are so many talents, so we can only train! It's kind of abstract.

To put it more simply, most of the work in Qin Murong's world needs to be literate.

It means that the vast majority of people in the world need to have the ability to read, ready to find? Obviously, there are not so many people. What should we do? Only "education".

It's demand that determines production.

No matter when or where it is placed, there will be no reason to change it.

Therefore, Qin Murong, a guy from other worlds, is already too strong just in this concept.

Nature cannot be easily learned.

After training, the soldiers thought they should be happy, but They actually feel that they are not used to it.

It's boring just to drive all day long.

But the speed is really much faster.

It was originally a month's journey, but it took only 12 days.

And it's a detour.

Qin Murong got out of the carriage and looked up at the passage between the two bare peaks, which could hold four carriages side by side. His eyes could not help twitching.He turned his head and asked the leopard, "weren't you in Northern Xinjiang before? Do you know that there is such a secret passage from the hinterland of Daliang to northern Xinjiang? "

The leopard shook his head bitterly and said, "really I don't know. "

"Why?"

"Young master, it's strange to say. According to the location, it's not far from Beiyu city. According to the rule of 30 Li one post, one post and three battalions in rotation, it's impossible to find it here unless..."

"Except for what?"

"Unless someone's hiding it."

Qin Murong pondered for a while and said, "are you doubting the great power column?"

"The leopard said:" my subordinates also listen to others. At the beginning, the red sleeve army was pretty good and full of weaving. Although its combat power was not as good as it used to be, it would not decline to that extent. However, with the arrival of Dazhu kingdom in the north, the red sleeve army was shrinking day by day, and finally It's just us. Every small-scale war is about to take the lead. It looks like It's like asking us to die. "

Qin Murong frowned and said: "a border guard general, even if he is known as a big pillar country, is just a minister. Although there is mutual suppression in the officialdom, he should not do so anyway? Ah What do you want to do with guodazhu? "

He raised his head and looked at the passage. When he walked in, he could see the sky above.

Qin Murong suddenly half joked, said: "you said, big column Congress will not arrange some Eyeliner here?"

In a word, it made everyone nervous.

Qin Murong laughed and said, "I'm kidding. Don't be nervous. If big pillar states have Eyeliner here... Isn't he really going to rebel? No, I don't think so. "

It's easy to say, but the people around are really not easy.

In this way, there is something wrong with Dazhu.

Passage, keep moving forward.

Qin Murong is very relaxed on the surface, but in fact he is very worried.

He had a little claustrophobia, not the illusion that all the objects around him would come over, but always worried that something would collapse.

If there is a group of people and horses who throw countless stones from it, and their own army has the ability to turn the world upside down, they will all die.

So from time to time, he would lean out of the window and keep looking up.

Xiaobai asked curiously, "young master, what are you looking at?"

Qin Murong subconsciously said: "if a big stone suddenly falls from it at this time, then we are in danger."

"Ah?"

Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, and then quickly climbed to the carriage, staring at it with wide eyes. The little girl was obviously scared.

Xiaolan said: "young master, what do you scare her to do?"

Qin Murong said with a bitter smile: "no, I didn't scare her. I really think so. I don't want to go through this channel."

The leopard saw Xiaobai jump out suddenly, thought there was something wrong, and hurriedly came over. Just hearing Qin Murong's words, he immediately patted his chest and said, "don't worry, young master. No matter what falls from it, whether it's knife, stone or other things, we can save your life. You can rest assured about that."

"Really?"

"Did you forget? Our 200 soldiers have an array called Mountain Ghost, which can make a space with shield. No matter what falls from it, it is impossible to get through. "

"Oh

Qin Murong really forgot. He was a little relieved when he heard the name of the Mountain Ghost.

This passage is really long.

It took a whole day for the whole team to walk past. It's not that one person needs to walk straight for one day. It's that there are many people. When they enter the mountain, they need to gather into a series of numbers and enter one by one, which is very time-consuming.

When everyone comes out of the valley, the "Mountain Ghost" array still doesn't work. It's lucky.

In addition to the mountains, the team trimmed up, rested and explored the surroundings.

The fast horse scouts were all released, and 3000 cavalry were patrolling nearby. Soon they could bring back the situation within dozens of miles.

Qin Murong then took out a blank silk cloth and prepared to draw a map of the neighborhood on it according to the scouts' report.

At this time, Gongsun and they came.

Gongsun said bluntly, "why did you stop? Aren't you in a hurry? Now we should seize all the time. The earlier we get to Beiqi, the better. "

Qin Murong sighed and said, "it's good for you to be so straightforward. At least we don't have to care about the etiquette, but in terms of command, this You just need your ears and brain. Why did you stop? Hey, hey, you don't think it's still within the boundary of the state of Daliang, but after crossing this mountain, you can actually cross Beiyu city out of thin air. After crossing Beiyu City, you will be in the war zone. Maybe you will meet forces from all sides here. As we are now, we are rats crossing the street. We can't see the light. ""Why?"

Qin Murong said, "it's very simple. If you meet the army of the Northern Qi, you are a princess. You want to show your identity and let them take us to the camp of the Northern Qi. Then what? All the people in the camp of the Northern Qi Dynasty are seven princes. Think about it. You are such a princess with so many unknown soldiers. If the other party is brave enough to kill you, it's easy to say that they suspect you are meticulous, or that they have never met you. "

"This..."

"If you meet our team, how do you explain your identity? What's more, how did we get here and explain it? We need to tell them about this passage, so Why do I know this passage that I don't even know? This doubt will kill people! "

"Well It seems that's the same thing. "

Qin Murong continued: "what's more, it's also the most important thing. What if you meet the army of Dazhu? The news is that the state of Dazhu is trapped, and the Northern Qi Dynasty is going south. But in fact, after the news of the state of Dazhu is sent out, until the army of Daliang guards Beiyu City, how many months will it take! If Dazhu had been trapped, the troops of the Northern Qi Dynasty would have gone south! Still waiting?

Moreover, your Majesty's leisurely spirit seems to be "trusting" the kingdom.

What we trust is not his character, but his ability!

"What do you mean?" Gongsun asked nervously

Qin Murong said with a bitter smile: "if we meet the army of Dazhu, we may die even worse. We can't even bring out the news."

Gongsun was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "it seems that the state of Daliang is not monolithic."

"Isn't that bullshit?"

Qin Murong held out his hand and said, "if Liang Guoru is the same iron plate, how can you send troops in the Northern Qi Dynasty?"

"It seems to be the same."

Gongsun sighed.

It seems that in the world, there is no place to stop, neither in Daliang nor in the Northern Qi.

After finishing the trimming, the cavalry scouts came back one after another. Most of the nearby areas were plains, with occasional mountains and low hills. The whole place was flat.

Looking at the plain in front of him, Qin Murong could not help sighing and said, "this is a natural farm and pasture. It is possible to plant grass to raise cattle and sheep, or directly turn it into a vast expanse of fertile land. However, due to years of war, it is a pity that this place has become such a desolate place It's said that this marginal zone runs directly from the southernmost part of the state of Daliang to the easternmost part of the state of Daliang. It can be said that it has a vast territory. If you plant a banker, you can support all the people in the whole state of Daliang. It's a waste. What a waste. "

Gongsun said, "it can also be our pasture in the Northern Qi Dynasty."

"Well, well, no matter whose it is, it's a pity not to waste it."

"Yes It's a pity. "

Gongsun couldn't help sighing. Imagine the herd of cattle and sheep here. What a beautiful scene it should be.

He turned his head and glared at Qin Murong.

If he hadn't brought it up, he didn't really think about it.

This thought, that kind of thought is uncontrollable, desperately rooted in the heart.

A simple sketch of the map here, Qin Murong ordered the troops to continue.

Now, 3000 cavalry scouts will have to play their role. After crossing this mountain range, there will be crises step by step and risks everywhere.

During the whole day, there was nothing around, which made the atmosphere of the whole team more solemn.

Finally, a scout brought back some good news.

Thirty miles away from here, there is a small village at the foot of a hill.

There are some farmland around, and the coverage area is not very large. According to the situation of spies, there should be more than 100 households living in it.

However, the scouts emphasized that there were traces of damage inside.

Qin Murong nodded and thought for a moment, then ordered the whole army to march to the village.

"At last, I saw the living people. The best spies who knew about the war in Northern Xinjiang were not as good as the most common villager here."

Qin Murong was obviously happy.

When it was near the village, the army pressed the border, but the people in the village obviously didn't respond much.

Only a few old people came out of the village with a cart and stood on the road leading to the entrance of the village.

There are some food and water cans on the cart.

When the big army stopped in front of them, an old man came over and said with a leaky mouth: "Sir, there is really nothing left in our village. This is the last thing. Even next year's seed food is in it. If it's not enough Our elder brothers can only replace food with their bodies. They just want to make a big pot. We can jump in by ourselves, and we will not go into the village any more. There is really nothing in the village. "

Speaking, there is a cry, but it gives a very hard feeling.Leopard just want to come forward, but Qin Murong to stop.

He asked the two little girls to push him over. Facing the old man, he asked softly, "what kind of village is this, father-in-law?"

The old man said, "this is Baxia village."

"Baxia village? It's a strange name

Seeing that Qin Murong, a prominent official, was very polite, the old man rose to life and quickly said, "you don't know. Our village is at the foot of Bashan mountain, so we take the name of Basha village. When I was young, I heard from the old people in the village that there was once a very powerful person in this mountain. It's said that there was a king's capital in the folk, so it's very important Li is called Bashan. It's just about the life experience of the overlord, but it hasn't been handed down. If there is such a person, he will surely bless our village, and it won't be as good as it is now Well

Qin Murong asked, "Oh? What's the matter now? I don't think you are treating us as robbers when you bring us here to eat and drink? "

"This How can you be an official? They are all soldiers. How can they be robbers? The little old man can see clearly

Qin Murong said: "since we see that we are in military uniform, why are we so afraid?"

"This..."

Some old people dare not say.

"But it doesn't hurt to say so."

Qin Murong encouraged each other with a smile.

The old man then said, "well, it starts from years ago. Originally, our village had been in peace for decades. Although we had a hard life and the surrounding villages were far away from each other, it was difficult to get married, but we could get by. But just a few years ago, an army passed by. The village had never been to the master soldier for many years. Naturally, we entertained them with delicious food. As a result As a result, when they left, they robbed all the food in the village and hurt people. This is really... "

Qin Murong frowned and said, "no one cares?"

"Ah Our village, the sky is high, the emperor is far away, which one is in charge? Ten years ago, there was a group of officials who came here, but they just said a few words and said that they had recorded us, and then left, and there was no following. We don't know who's in charge

"What about taxes? Has anyone come to collect it? "

"This Not really. "

The old man didn't hide it.

Qin Murong nodded and continued: "how do those soldiers dress up? What's the difference compared with my team? "

"Oh, they don't wear as much as noble men. How are you soldiers? They are all covered with leather armor, but few with iron. Unlike noble men like you, the armor is really beautiful."

"Leather armor?"

Qin Murong frowned, turned to look at Gongsun, and asked in a deep voice, "this team has nothing to do with you, right?"

Gongsun shook his head and said, "no, I'm going another way. I'm going to fight light. I've only brought dozens of people."

"Oh..."

Qin Murong nodded, and then asked the old man, "you may have met soldiers and horses from the Northern Qi Dynasty. They are not of our own race. It's normal for them to do something extraordinary. Fortunately, you are lucky that they didn't kill the village."

Qin Murong is obviously quite unable to comfort people, so that people around are a black line.

Qin Murong also stressed: "you don't have to be afraid of us because of this."

As a result, the old man said with a sad face: "those people are OK. They only rob things. The injured people are reluctant to give up their own things. They have to go forward to make a theory, and they are not killed, but A month later, another group of soldiers came. They were very similar to you. When they came, they said they wanted to recruit soldiers and each family should send out a person. We are all farmers who face the Loess and face the sky. We have been farming for several lives. Where have we fought? This went out, how can there be a reason to come back alive? We didn't agree. As a result, they went door-to-door. Some strong boys wanted to fight, but They killed him alive! He also said that if we don't comply with the law, we are breaking the national law, and we want to pull out and kill our heads! This time, there are only some old and young women and children left in the village. As a result As a result, misfortune never comes alone. Only a few days later, bandits came to the village to burn, kill and rob. If we hadn't believed it early, most of us would have gone to the caves on Bashan mountain. I'm afraid I'm afraid that the whole village is going to be gone. In this way, they have robbed several girls, and all the things in the house that can be moved have been moved Well

Qin Murong's eyes twitched.

Looking at the poor, even hapless old man, he asked, "has there ever been a bandit in Zhili?"

The old man said: "yes, but it was more than ten years ago. It hasn't happened all these years. Who knows how Well

Qin Murong nodded. Since there have been bandits, it proves that what the old man said is correct, otherwise If there have never been bandits, how can there be hidden caves on Bashan? At the critical moment, how can they think of running there to hide?

Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with the old man's words.

Qin Murong sighed and said in a soft voice: "if the world is in chaos, bandits will be born. In the thousand year war of the Northern Qi Dynasty in Daliang, it is the common people who suffer the most."
