Chapter 307

Four days later, Chen Buer and his "caravan" appeared outside Xingqing Prefecture City.

It's not very peaceful along the way.

Fortunately, they are vendors of shortages of drugs in Xixia, so they did not suffer from official difficulties along the way. Instead, they were green lights all the way, just like later generations of agricultural products that crossed the expressway without charging travel fees.

There was no official "robbery", but along the way, they were snatched by bandits from Xixia Kingdom, or the common people, and of course the other party had a miserable ending.

Along the way, Chen Buer gradually understood why the Western Xia Kingdom dared to attack the Great Zhou regardless of everything this time.

The impact of the drought was too great. From Qingyuan City to Xingqing Prefecture, there were gray areas everywhere along the way, and no plants were seen, and even the bark was gone.

No need to think about it, it must have been eaten by hungry people.

There were not only one or two hungry people who fell to death by the roadside, they were all in a pile. It seemed that the whole family was dead. Chai Zijin couldn't bear to watch it many times.

But that's it. In the inn along the way, you can get some money and all kinds of wine and meat, as if the drought and hungry outside have nothing to do with them.

The flat-headed man in Xixia is cruel to foreign countries and even more cruel to his own people, and he doesn’t even have decent disaster relief activities.

Anyway, the Dangxiang people died, so Chen Buer had no psychological pressure at all. Instead, he took out his camera from time to time and took pictures of all the roads along the road, mountains and rivers, cities, military camps, etc.

These are first-hand information for drawing maps. In case the two countries start a full war in the summer, "Chen Didi" can provide the latest navigation information at any time.

When the towering Xingqing Mansion wall appeared in front of everyone, there was no excitement as expected. Instead, everyone owed a blow. Anyway, no matter how majestic you are, can you surpass the Bianliang wall?

The confidence of the people of Bianliang looks like a countryside.

Just counting the city gates, you will know that there are 19 city gates in the outer city of Bianliang and only 6 in Xingqing Prefecture.

Experts from later generations speculated that Xingqing Prefecture had a total area of ​​about 4 square kilometers and a total population of no more than 200,000, which was a standard small city.

In fact, if it weren't for the Western Xia Gouzi's separatist rule and proclaiming himself emperor, the Xingqing Prefecture would be just the location of a prefecture in the Great Zhou Dynasty and it would be quite ordinary.

Chen Buer had almost no knowledge of Xixia. He only watched a documentary by the Central Ma in his previous life, "The Tomb of the King of Xixia", and only a few earthen graves were left in the desert.

Now a living Xixia Xingqing Prefecture appeared in front of him. He was ready to have fun for a few days with the eyes of a tourist in his later generations.

Whatever is stuffed with pearls or important towns in the northwest will probably not exist for long, and it will be destroyed by a fire soon.

When we entered the city, although there were a lot of pedestrians, the trade atmosphere was not very warm. In fact, light industrial products and handicrafts of nomadic peoples were not very good at making them. The silk, porcelain and tea sold on the street were all imported from Dazhou.

Now the two countries are fighting. Apart from smuggling, the trade between the two countries through formal channels has been stopped.

This also led to a more depressed market. In addition, due to the impact of the drought, ordinary people lost money in their pockets, so even the children who were selling on the roadside were powerless.

Since they came to Xingqing Mansion in the name of a caravan, they wanted to avoid attracting the attention of the local government. The best way was to quickly find a medicine shop to sell goods, but Chen Buer and the others were not.

They deliberately drove the carriage and ran around the city like headless flies, from the east to the west, from the south to the north, and almost went to the Xixia Palace.

Even Ding Ada was a little surprised, "Mr. Cui, Mr. Cui?"

The thin man gently touched Chen Buer, and Chen Buer then woke up: "Ahh, call me."

There was no way, he hadn't reacted yet, thinking that Mr. Cui was someone else.

"Mr. Cui, where are we going? If you want to sell goods, shouldn't you go to the Pharmaceutical Street in the east of the city?"

"Oh, this is not the first time I have come to Xingqing Mansion. I can just visit it. Look at this exotic style, look at this young lady in the northwest, she looks so handsome."

He looks like a second-generation ancestor.

Not to mention Chen Buer, Pan Mingguang, Zhu Lichen, Du Zongzhe, all played the role of his true nature, showing his dandy spirit to the fullest. Even Chai Zijin blinked his eyes and stared at the Xixia woman on the road for a long time.

It’s hard to teach, but it’s really quick to lead the bad guy.

In fact, this is not that Chen Buer and the others are wandering around, but that they have a preliminary impression of the city. The fat man and the thin man and the Huang brothers have long divided the work and cooperated to simply reconnaise all the key buildings in the city.

We need to carefully reconnaissance and screening later to prepare for the next big explosion in the city.

At the same time, Lu Zhixiao, as the main general, began to instruct the troops to move slowly to the northern border, as if they were looking for the Xixia army everywhere, but in fact the troops had never been far away from Hulu River.

A group of military troops have entered the Kaniuling Mountains without knowing it.

Lu Zhixiao also started betting that his grandson could really make Xingqing Mansion dark, and that the army of Xixia had to evacuate to defend the capital.

His strategy was very simple, and he ordered the Dingyuan army in the east and the Huairong army in the west to guard their respective passes to Xixia, and he must drive the troops returning to Xixia to Huluhe and Xiaoguan.

In the end, 100,000 cavalry remained on Qinfeng Road as mobile troops to confuse the Western Xia army, making them think that the Zhou army was still wandering around the northwest.

The remaining 200,000 infantry all occupied the favorable terrain on the mountains on both sides of the valley, and began to quickly build rolling stones and giant trees, so that they could leave all the Xixia troops in the Hulu River Valley condescendingly.

The deputy generals in the army could also see the strategic intentions of the head coach Lu Zhiyuan. Many people think that doing this is too risky. If the Xixia army does not pass by Xiaoguan, wouldn’t that be a waste of work?

But soldiers are obeying orders as their duty, so everyone can only take one step at a time.

The main reason is that everyone is very anxious. It has been a month since this time. I know where the enemy is, but I can't destroy it, and I can't even fight a battle quickly. This makes everyone very depressed and feel angry.

The Zhou army's fast march route made the commander of the Xixia commander and the commander of the Baotai Army, Mozang Epang, inexplicably, but he didn't care.

His strategy is also very simple. Since you are wandering around the north, I will avoid you, so the Xixia soldiers gradually heading towards Weizhou to the east.

As for Qinfeng Road, the easter you go, the closer you get to the Central Plains, the richer you get, and the higher the benefits of robbery.

Instead, Wuzang Epang felt a little proud, thinking that Zhou Jun was really stupid and empty the east road. Isn’t this creating opportunities for the people of Xixia?
