Chapter 26?? Positioning
The climate is getting cooler, and it has been more than a month in a blink of an eye.
The sweat-blooded BMW has been fully maintained and full of energy. Pei Changhao and others have also adjusted it well enough.
For more than a month, everyone lived a secluded life in the valley.
Su Chunhua still practices knife skills every day, and his movements are slightly faster. According to Pei Changhao's analysis, there is no big problem with self-protection. Su Chungui is even more diligent. He practices archery harder every day. He gets up early in the morning and does 200 pull-ups, then makes breakfast, practices riding and archery after dinner. Before going to bed at night, he has to do 200 pull-ups, lunch and supper, mostly made by Su Chunhua.
Pei Changhao exercises in the morning and at night every day, and reads books at noon, and he talks with Luo Wenhua more and more.
...
On the table were beef, mutton, snow red, pancakes, white rice, and a jar of wine.
Luo Wenhua personally poured wine for Pei Changhao and others.
Holding up the wine bowl, Luo Wenhua pondered for a moment and spoke.
"If I hadn't met Brother Pei, Chunhua, and Chungui, I would have stayed here, guarding my righteous brother, but I would have lived a life of survivors. Brother Pei's boldness and wisdom impressed me. A scholar died for his confidant. I decided to follow Brother Pei and help Brother Pei to make trouble outside. Follow Brother Pei's arrangements. If Brother Pei agrees, drink this bowl of wine."
Pei Changhao's expression was a little focused. As soon as Luo Wenhua finished speaking, he picked up the wine bowl.
"Brother Luo, I'm not to hide it. If it weren't for the family's changes, I would have gone through it in a daze. I'm quiet and ordinary. Maybe I'm a rich man or a playboy."
"I have no choice but to have eggs under the collapse of the nest."
"Brother Luo is knowledgeable and has extraordinary abilities. He is willing to go out with us. That is our greatest blessing."
"We will definitely encounter many dangers along the way, and sometimes even endanger our lives. With Brother Luo's help, we will definitely be able to get rid of danger."
After saying that, Pei Changhao drank the wine in the bowl in one breath.
Luo Wenhua finished drinking, and Su Chunhua and Su Chungui also finished drinking.
After pouring the second bowl of wine, Luo Wenhua clasped his fists at Pei Changhao.
"Brother Pei, if I don't dislike it, I have something to say."
Pei Changhao also stood up and clasped his fists at Luo Wenhua.
"Brother Luo, don't be so polite. Just say anything directly."
After everyone sat down, Luo Wenhua thought for a while before he spoke slowly.
"I have been in the valley for more than a month. I thought it was time to leave. Winter is coming soon. When heavy snow covers the mountain, I can't leave even if I want to."
"Brother Pei's hometown of Henan has encountered too many battles in recent years. It can be described as "no one in a thousand miles of no one to describe it. I believe that when I came back from my righteous brother Lingshu, I saw nine out of ten rooms and no one to waste along the way, so we probably have to prepare enough food."
"When we are on the road, we may encounter military investigations or vicious bandits. We must be well prepared. Brother Chungui holds bows and arrows, which is enough to kill the enemy. Brother Chunhua is also enough to protect himself, let alone Brother Pei, but if we encounter military investigations, we still have to prepare some money..."
Before Luo Wenhua finished speaking, Pei Changhao's expression became solemn.
"Brother Luo, if we encounter small groups of bandits along the way, we can find a way to deal with it. The worst thing is to escape and save our lives. But if we meet the army, we may not have any chance to escape. I have been away from home for more than half a year. I am not very clear about the situation in my hometown, and I don't know the situation in Henan. When I left my hometown, I was also very hasty, so I would like to ask Brother Luo to tell me in detail about the situation along the way."
While talking, Pei Changhao took out the map from his arms and spread it on the ground.
Luo Wenhua did not look at the map, but put down the wine bowl in his hand.
"The Huang Chao Rebellion swept across Henan, and it was already a disaster. It was completely wiped out for only more than two years. The Central Plains has not yet recovered, but there have been more wars. Brother Pei, who has been in front, should be clear. I won't say much. Since last year, Henan has had several large-scale conquests."
"First, in July last year, Qin Zongquan, the governor of Caizhou, led his troops to attack Xuzhou. Xuzhou's governor Lu Yanhong was defeated and killed. This battle caused most parts of Xuzhou to become naked."
"Secondly, King Li Keyong of Jin, Bing guards the Jiedushi Zhu Mei and other Qing dynasties led troops to attack the capital. Henan was in trouble. Later, Zhu Mei supported King Xiang Li Ying, and Jiedushi from various places attacked Zhu Mei, causing turmoil in the capital and most parts of Henan."
"Third, last October, Heyang Jiedushi Zhuge Shuang died of illness, and his son Zhuge Zhongfang was established as the queen of remnants. Zhuge Zhongfang was young and weak and could not control the army. The army rebelled, and internal strife broke out in December, and there was turmoil in Heyang, Daliang and Huaizhou."
"Fourth, in February this year, Zhu Quanzhong, the prince of Wuxing, attacked Qin Zongquan, the governor of Caizhou. Until I left Henan, the fierce battle between the two sides continued, and their main battlefields were distributed in Caizhou and Bianzhou and other places..."
Pei Changhao was a little confused. Although he knew a lot about the history of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it was impossible to be so detailed.
After a little clearing of his emotions, Pei Changhao looked at Luo Wenhua and spoke.
"Brother Luo means that in order to compete for territory, large-scale conflicts broke out between the governors of various places. As for the emperor and the court, they were just decorations and could not control the governors of various places..."
Pei Changhao's words were very bold, and Luo Wenhua's expression changed slightly.
"Brother Pei, you are telling the truth, but you must not say this outside. Since the Huang Chao Rebellion Party was completely wiped out, the governors from all over the country have long disobeyed the orders of the emperor and the court. They are all doing their own affairs, saying that they are maintaining the stability of the court, secretly attacking each other, and fighting without any scruples, with the purpose of strengthening their own strength."
Pei Changhao showed a wry smile on his face, and the situation was worse than he expected.
Although we are familiar with history and can make mature and wise decisions, we must first learn to protect ourselves when we travel to such a chaotic world, otherwise there is no way to talk about everything.
Pei Changhao pointed his finger at the map.
"Brother Luo, our current location is in Xiazhou. If we set out early tomorrow morning, we can arrive in Yanzhou in two days. Yanzhou is under the jurisdiction of Longyou Road and is also outside the pass. There are not many troops stationed, and there are very likely to encounter bandits along the way. Starting from Yanzhou, we can cross the Great Wall and enter Xizhou in about five days. Xizhou belongs to Guanwei Road, which is under the jurisdiction of Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi, and is also under the control of Jin King Li Keyong. The Shatuo soldiers whom Li Keyong belongs to have always been strong and no one dares to covet them, so the Xizhou area is still slightly stable, but we are likely to be interrogated by Shatuo soldiers."
"As for Jinzhou, although it belongs to the inner road of Guan, it is actually controlled by Li Keyong. There are constant wars here and it has always been a place where military strategists must fight for. I still know some of the chaos here."
"We can deal with it when encountering small-scale bandits, but if we encounter Shatu soldiers, we will definitely face a disaster that we cannot cope with. So my idea is that along the way, we must change our habits of walking."
"From Xiazhou to Yanzhou, we can travel during the day and rest at night, but when entering Xizhou, we must rest during the day and travel at night to avoid Shatuo's army."
"When we enter Jinzhou, we need to analyze the specific situation. The competition between Li Keyong and Zhu Quanzhong in Jinzhou has become fierce. At present, Zhu Quanzhong and Qin Zongquan are fighting fiercely. The army is all concentrated in Caizhou and Bianzhou. It is impossible to attack Jinzhou. Li Keyong's Shatuo soldiers are mainly stationed outside the pass. Jinzhou's defense is relatively empty. Unless Zhu Quanzhong attacks this place immediately, other forces dare not use troops here at will. So I think that we should focus on preventing and controlling bandits in Jinzhou..."
Luo Wenhua widened his eyes and looked at Pei Changhao.
"Brother Pei, didn't you say you've been away from my hometown for more than half a year? Why do you know the situation well?"
Pei Changhao looked at Luo Wenhua and spoke with a wry smile.
"Brother Luo, I have no choice. We must live first before we can do other things. For so long, I have recorded all the situations in various places and analyzed them in detail. It is related to our lives, so I dare not be careless."
Luo Wen nodded vigorously and picked up the wine bowl.
"Brother Pei's analysis is incisive, I admire you, I wish you a bowl of wine."
...
On the side of the small road, Luo Weng knelt in front of the tomb.
"Brother, I am leaving you temporarily. I always keep your instructions in mind and dare not forget them. Don't worry, I will come back to accompany you in no time."
"Wu Changhao is only sixteen years old, a 16-year-old boy, mature and persistent, elegant and wise, has a insightful and unique analysis of the current situation, and has a lot of skills. It is really not simple. This person should be a flying dragon in the sky, either a great sage or a great evil."
"No matter whether Wu Changhao is a great sage or a great evil, I will follow him. I will seize the opportunity. I will not let anyone who plots on you."
"Brother, you have always taken care of me. If I had not encountered a disaster, I would like to repay your kindness. This time I left, I will try my best to find my sister-in-law's remains, and buried with you in the same place to reunite you..."
Speaking of this, Luo Wenhua was already in tears, and he picked up the wine bowl in his hand.
"Brother, I will toast you a bowl of wine. During the period when I left, you must take care of yourself. If you have anything, you must send me a dream. I will do it well even if I fight to the death..."
A gust of breeze blew, and the breeze had already had a cold smell.
