Chapter 431 Guest
Since the 11th year of Daye, Li Xian ordered the roads to go out of Juyeze to be widened, and the roads built were much wider and flatter than the official roads built by the Sui Dynasty. Today, the most in Juyeze is craftsmen. In addition to the craftsmen who built ships by navy, there are also a large number of foreigners who came from all directions to seek refuge.
It has been a long time since an army has attacked Juyeze, and the land route of Exitze is too narrow. In order to facilitate the smooth travel of the army in the future, Li Xian asked Zhang Zhongjian to supervise the worker and lead craftsmen to demolish the city gate of Juyeze Mountain Village and rebuilt the city gate. The city gate became more than twice as wide as the suspension bridge was replaced with a new one, making it more solid.
The section of the city gate of the village has added horse faces and arrow towers, and dozens of heavy crossbows were installed on the top of the city. With these dozens of heavy crossbows, there is no need to worry about how many people and horses come. The giant crossbow with a thick calf can easily knock a war horse into two sections. Even if it hammers up the city, it can't resist the impact of dozens of giant crossbows.
The city gate and road were built for a year before completion. With the help of the mountain, the city gate was not long, less than 100 meters long. The city wall was so tall and strong that even Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Sui Dynasty, was slightly inferior. Li Xian had decided to treat Juyeze as his old nest, so why didn’t he make every effort to arrange it?
This place is too steep. Even if you are defeated on the war, as long as there are still thousands of troops to withdraw back to Juyeze, even a hundred thousand troops will not be able to attack. The mountain road is already rugged and difficult, and it can be said that it is foolproof to be blocked by such a heroic pass. Whether it is the official army or other rebels, if you want to attack the Ze, the best choice is to take the water route. However, the reed marshes in Juyeze are complicated and the water routes are twisted thousands of times. If you don’t have anyone familiar with the water mooring, you will not be able to walk on the road unless you use a huge warship like Yang Guang’s dragon boat to crush the reed marshes, but once you fall into it, the dragon boat will be disturbed by the reeds. Not to mention that the wheel slurry cannot be rotated, even if you pull it, you may not be able to move.
What's more, the three most powerful armies of Juyeze are now, one is a light armored cavalry of 20,000 people, the other is a heavy armored modao of 4,000 people, and the other is a huge navy that is unique among all the righteous armies of the Great Sui Dynasty.
After nearly three years of uninterrupted construction, the water-pooled shipyard has now been large in scale and has all kinds of shipbuilding materials. After more than two years of preparation, a five-toothed ship is out of the factory almost every month. In addition, Li Xian's fleet extorted from Jiangdu, even the Donglai Naval Division led by Huer personally arrived. Juyeze's naval army was almost capable of fighting. As for the other rebels on the Green Forest Road, there is no need to worry at all, and most of them do not have the ability to fight.
After all, the ones that can slightly threaten the Juyeze waters on both sides of the Yellow River are not only the fleet in Dou Jiande's hand, but the navy in the hands of Wang Shichong, the general of the imperial court. However, Wang Shichong had just arrived here a while ago, so he would not rush into Juyeze to die. In terms of the dangerous terrain, he would rather fight Li Mi than provoke Li Xian. Of course, from other perspectives, Wang Shichong also believes that defeating Li Mi is more effective than defeating Yanyun Village.
Li Mi is a famous talent all over the world and a fulfilling person for the song "Plum". No matter how strong Li Xian is, he is just a big horse thief. If he defeats Li Mi, Wang Shichong will replace Zhang Xutuo and Yang Yichen and become the number one general of the Sui Dynasty.
Now in Henan and Hebei, the first thing Wang Shichong doesn't want to provoke Dou Jiande from Hebei is Dou Jiande, not because he is afraid of him, but because he is meaningless to fight. Not to mention that he is not sure to defeat Dou Jiande's Mingzhou army, he will not do it even if he has this ability. After defeating Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong himself will not lose any benefits. Instead, Luo Yi is a waste of money, and he is afraid that Luo Yi will wake up laughing when he sleeps.
Now Luo Yi was worried that he could not go south. Even he didn't think he could defeat Dou Jiande, so Wang Shichong would not rush over to be a stepping stone for others like an idiot.
Luo Yi has been coveting the counties of Hebei for a long time, but Dou Jiande is too strong. He can only be greedy but can't eat it. He relies on Zhuo County to support him with a heavy armor. Fortunately, Xue Shixiong was killed by him, and Yuyang and other places fell into Luo Yi's hands one after another, which solved his urgent need. Now, Dou Jiande is the most powerful in Hebei Province, followed by Luo Yi in Youzhou, and Xu Yuanlang.
In the counties in Henan, the strongest one is still Wagang Village. Although Li Mi and Zhai Rang failed in the confrontation with Li Xian, Li Mi was even defeated. However, the troops sent to attack other places were victorious. First, they captured Baihua Valley, and then took down Luokou Cang in one breath. After obtaining millions of stones of military rations, the strength of Wagang Village suddenly increased. Especially in the battle of Baihua Valley, Li Mi designed to defeat Sui general Liu Changgong. The surrendered soldiers alone received more than 10,000 people, and the weapons and armor were even more numerous.
Secondly, I want to talk about Yanyun Village, but although the military strength is not as strong as that of Wagang Village. However, Li Xian has the three richest counties in Qi, Lu, Dongping, the Great Sui Dynasty, and with at least 50,000 elite troops in his hands, even if he fights again, Wagang Village may not be the opponent.
Speaking of the official army, only Wang Shichong is still strong in Henan Province.
In this era of heroes, Li Xian had to be more careful. He said he wanted to relax and give himself a day of vacation to travel around, but after all, it was just a thought.
...
...
The carriage was escorted by more than a hundred Li Xian's Tiefutu cavalry and twelve masters from the Flying Tiger Division. The black carriage did not move fast, but Li Xian, who was said to be wandering around and relaxing, never got off the car, and even the curtains on the car windows had not been lifted up.
After Li Xian brought back tens of thousands of grassland horses from the north of the Seibei region, he began to ask the teachers of the Martial Arts Academy and Cheng Zhijie and Qin Qiong to train cavalry on a large scale. Li Xian selected 6,000 people from the original cavalry and reorganized them into two personal guard battalions. Each of the personal guard battalions was 3,000 cavalry, one was called Tiefutu and the other was called Blood Cavalry.
In order to ensure the loyalty of the personal guard camp, Li Xian transferred Tie Liaolang and Luo Fu from the Martial Arts Academy. Tie Liaolang was the general of the blood cavalry, and Luo Fu was the commander of Tie Futu.
During this trip, Li Xian did not alarm many people, but asked Fu Hunu to lead two teams of cavalry, plus the twelve four masters personally led by Ye Fanyun, walking in Dongping County, and taking these troops was more than enough.
The black carriage was moving on the spacious and flat road. After leaving the mountain village, there was a small village for only a dozen miles away. However, since the people in this village dispatched their troops to attack Juyeze a few years ago, all the villagers moved to Juyeze and were living there. At that time, Li Xian had not yet captured Yuncheng, but lived in Juyeze.
The official road was too flat and the carriage was so comfortable that there was no movement outside, but the carriage was already in chaos. Ye Huaixiao leaned into Li Xian's arms weakly, and even the strength to wear clothes was gone. Li Xian leaned against the carriage and was slightly wearing a thick air, and the redness in his eyes had disappeared.
Both of them were sweating. Although the warmer was lit in the carriage, you should know that it was the middle of winter and it was sweating so much that the battle was indeed too dangerous and intense. The outside of the carriage was cold and the sky was covered with dark clouds. I don’t know if there would be heavy snow today. The carriage was full of spring and the hot people felt a little uncomfortable.
Ye Huaixue lay on Li Xian and gasped, as lazy as a well-behaved white cat.
Li Xian wanted to sit up and get some water to drink. When he moved, Ye Huaixue couldn't help but let out a soft moan. Her beautiful eyebrows as beautiful as willow leaves frowned slightly, and her red face couldn't help but change. The moans in her throat were a man who would be fascinated by hearing it.
"What's wrong?"
Li Xian asked softly.
"Nothing...something...something...something...something hurts."
Ye Huaixue lowered his head and blushed and said in a low voice, then he was so embarrassed that he dared not look up at Li Xian's eyes.
Li Xian smiled and said with some blaming words: "I don't know what's wrong today. I'm so angry... it's because I'm not good. Next time I'll be gentle, that... I'll definitely be gentle."
Li Xian reached out and helped up the low table that the two of them had touched, and smiled at the tea stains still emitting the fragrance of tea on the bottom of the car. Looking at Ye Huaixue, who was tired and powerless in his arms, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a unique sense of pride in his heart. Conquering a world is sometimes as proud as conquering a woman. He reached out to take the water bag and handed it to Ye Huaixue, who shook his head slightly and signaled that he didn't want to move.
Li Xian reached out and picked up Ye Huaixu's clothes and covered her body, put it on her shoulder and sat quietly.
"It's great to have a car... although the carriage can't shake it."
I don’t know how long it took, but Li Xian let out a sincere admiration.
Ye Huaixiu struggled to get up, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the sound of a huhu slave outside shouting loudly, "Who is ahead, stop!"
It made Fu Hunu a little surprised and shouted, but it was obvious that there were definitely not people from Yanyun Village outside. At this time, Juyeze was out. Who else could enter the hinterland of Dongping County except Yanyun Village?
Li Xian narrowed his eyes slightly and picked the corners of his mouth.
If someone really neglects his duties and puts them in, even if it is New Year's Eve, it is a day of celebration. However, Li Xian will not be unable to kill people when it comes to violating military discipline.
...
...
"Which general is ahead? I am Li Han, the captain of Guoyi under General Xiong Kuohai. He was ordered by General Xiong Kuohai to bring guests to see his lord. I have the clearance documents and my official certificates. Please check them."
“Are there any guests coming?”
The coldness in Li Xian's eyes became weaker and slowly disappeared.
"Why didn't the spy send me a message?"
Li Xian asked softly.
Ye Huaixue slowly shook his head while dressing, saying, "If the person who came dressed up as an ordinary citizen to avoid other people from the cross-countrymen on the way and mixed with the people and entered Dongping County, the secret spies would not discover it. If the official visit was made, the secret spies would never have heard of it at all."
Li Xian nodded, knowing that Ye Huaixue was right. If the visitor pretended to be an ordinary citizen, and did not bring a few followers, and only showed his identity with the defending border troops when he arrived at the border of Dongping County, the secret spies were not all cultivators with great powers to calculate, and they did not know that someone came to visit Li Xian from outside.
Fu Hunu outside responded, and then sent someone to check the pass certificate and official waist card in the hand of the captain named Li Han. Taking advantage of this time, Ye Huaixue put on his clothes in a little busy manner, and then helped Li Xian wear the clothes neatly. The outside was still questioning, and Ye Huaixue quickly combed Li Xian's long hair.
"It's true that he is from General Xiong's army, so where did the guests come from to see our lord?"
Fu Hunu nodded and asked after looking at the documents.
At this time, Li Xian combed his hair and listened with his ears. He did not hear Li Han's answer, but heard someone saying aloud: "After the servant Changsun Wuji of the Tang Duke's Mansion in Taiyuan, he was ordered by Duke Tang to come to visit General Li of Yanyun Village!"
Li Xian's eyes changed and he immediately started to laugh.
"Is it him?"
The smile on the corner of his mouth was a bit malicious. He called Fu Hunu to the side of the car and whispered: "Let them in, tell my master and grandpa, just say that I am not in the village, and let them take our Yanyun Village generals to entertain the visitors well... Don't be stingy with wine and meat, do you understand?"
Even if Fu Hunu is honest and honest, how could he not hear the bad smell in Li Xian after being with Li Xian for so long?
He smiled and said, "I understand, I will send someone to take them into the copycat. You have to take enough wine, well... you have to take enough!"
