"There's no rush." ​​Jiang Ke waved his hand and said, "What's going on in the north?"

Liu Zhao's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said bravely: "Liu Yao built a fort on Danzhu Ridge, and his former army commander Hu Yanshou was entrenched in Huushi County. There were thousands of people, and he plundered people, cattle, sheep, and people everywhere.

They fled one after another, and I have asked people to resettle them in the mountains. It is very difficult for them and they are in urgent need of relief."

Jiang Ke knew what he was saying.

Thousands of Xiongnu soldiers couldn't be driven away. Liu Zhao really didn't have any strength at hand. They were probably mostly old, weak, women and children, with few strong men.

"How many people does Liu Yao have?" Jiang Ke asked again.

"I don't know." Liu Zhao answered honestly: "It should be no less than ten thousand people."

"I think the maximum number is ten thousand people." Jiang Ke thought for a while and said: "If there are many soldiers, how can it be possible to build a fortress on Danzhu Ridge?"

"The governor is right." Liu Zhao nodded repeatedly.

"Any news from Pingyang?"

"We captured two rangers yesterday and said that there were large Xiongnu soldiers on the Wuling Road. We also said that Pingyang would transport grain and grass to Jinyang regardless of losses," Liu Zhao replied.

"Who is leading the troops on Wuling Road? How many are there?"

"I don't know."

Jiang Ke sighed and didn't know what to ask.

Wuling Road leads to Pingyang and is a dangerous mountain road crossing the Wuling Mountains.

To put it simply, Wuling Mountain separates the Yuncheng Basin (Hedong County and Pingyang County, located in the west) from the Jincheng and Changzhi Basin (Shangdang County, located in the east) from east to west. There are not many roads, but most of them are mountain roads, which require climbing over mountains and ridges.

, similar to Taihangxing.

Danzhu Ridge separates Jincheng and Changzhi Basin - the two basins face each other from north to south across the mountain.

From the Changzhi Basin (where Shangdang County is located) to the north, you have to cross the endless mountains to reach the Taiyuan Basin (where Jinyang is located).

This is the terrain of Bingzhou, which is composed of large and small basins. Between the basins are mountains, some of which are very dangerous.

The mountains and rivers inside and outside are not without reason. They have been very conducive to defense since ancient times.

Seeing that Jiang Ke was silent, Liu Zhao thought for a moment and said, "There are rumors that Liu Cong went to Wuling Road in person."

"What?" Jiang Ke was a little surprised.

Is this going to go east from Wuling Road and penetrate Gaodu to cut off the return route of Liang Gong's army? Can he do it? Does he have enough food and grass?

Jiang Ke didn't quite believe it, but he immediately called a messenger to pass the news back.

At the same time, he looked at Liu Zhao and said: "Immediately send people to investigate westward, and there must be no mistakes."
