C76 They Agreed on the Route to South Return

A fire in the Jorin Courtyard burned not only a book album, but also the faint hope in the heart of the Talisman Pavilion. The few brothers had been by his side for a long time, so how could they not know what he was thinking. Since it was a fact, it was useless to be sad, but adding unnecessary worries would hurt one's mind.

"We've done our best." Fu Hua was a little older after all. It was also a form of training for his father to be pushed out of the family. These days, he was the most patient. "Who would have thought that the barbarians would burn books..." As he spoke, he took out a wooden comb and tied his hair according to the usual standard of Fu Ting. "This might be the will of heaven. The eldest young master should be mindful of his own body. This time, he would go down the mountain and rivers. If he falls ill, we won't be able to return. "

This sentence reminded Fu Ting of something. He tried his best to calm his mind, and with Ye Qingcheng's support, he stood up again. "Let's go back... The Fine Jade Forest Courtyard was still far from the Imperial City. Ji Jiang would not let the fire reach there... Let's go back, let's all go back."

The group returned to the karst cave without saying anything. Ye Qingcheng's mind was filled with worry. He quietly took Fu Ronghua to the water to take care of the wild things he captured, leaving only Fu Xuanzhi to accompany his brother.

After the wild animals were roasted, each of them took their own food and surrounded the fire to eat. Only one of the pavilions didn't enter. It was unknown what it was thinking as it fell into the grass.

"Big brother is always like this." Fu Rong whispered to Ye Qingcheng: "It's just that he has a lot of thoughts. Sigh..." He pretended to sigh at his young age and took a bite of the food in his hand before muttering: "It will be fine if you want to spend the night tomorrow, let's not disturb him."

After eating and reading for a while, although it was still early in the morning, it was still dark all day long. The people who were unhappy had no intention of doing so. After reading for a while, no one mentioned anything about the study and dinner, so they each poured into the pile of grass and fell asleep. After sleeping for a long time in a daze, Ye Qingcheng felt that someone was pushing him and he immediately woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Fu Ting who was lying beside him.

"Brother Qingcheng, Pavilion Master has something to discuss with you." Seeing him nod his head, Pavilion Master turned around, grabbed a tree branch, lit the fire, and took the lead to walk away.

Ye Qingcheng rubbed her eyes and hurriedly followed her. After walking for about ten steps, the two of them sat down on the ground. Then, the pavilion opened up a map and placed it on a big rock. "Brother, please take a look."

"This is the map of the Great Zhou?" Ye Qingcheng could not help but be surprised. His voice was trembling as he said, "This map is so detailed..." He didn't even have a detailed map of the military.

"Based on what I learned in the books and my father's explanation of painting..." Fu Zhizhi did not want to get entangled with this question. He pointed to a river and said, "This is the Abundant River, about ten days away from Qishan."

Fu Yun River, due to the melting of snow in the northern mountains, passed through Great Zhou from the north to the south and passed through the central region. Finally, it met up with the Changjiang in the capital, forming an inverted T shape with the Changjiang from the west to the east. And most of them just happened to be adjacent to the river, following the river and going down before going down. This was the best route that one of the Talisman Pavilion had thought of throughout the night.

"Pavilion's plan is to abandon the main road and go down the Fuyun Jiangnan River?" Ye Qingcheng thought about it: "Now that the main army has entered the capital, it is indeed dangerous to take the main road." He looked at the map and found that it was a bit unstable: "Will Pavilion take a boat? This path was truly difficult to take, so they had to go ashore to replenish their food along the way. If we encounter enemies... it will be very dangerous to encounter the Great Cavalry. "

Fu Ting shook his head: "It's not very good to ride a boat, but it's waterproof." After pondering for a while, he said, "If Ji Jiang loses Emperor Zhou Wen, he will only head south. This way, we can avoid him." He calculated the time and said, "It's about to fall. The Great Zheng Army doesn't have enough food, and they are afraid of being attacked from both sides. We have to split up and attack the northeastern towns. There won't be any soldiers to manage the cities along the river for a while. "

Great Zhou Spring and Autumn: Before Emperor Wen moved south, he mobilized 100 thousand troops to the south of Mt. Mang, and there are less than 70 thousand troops to defend the south. After Great Zhou moved to the capital to ensure the safety of the border, Emperor Zhou ordered the last 70 thousand troops to retreat to the cities of Feinan, the capital, and the south. They were stationed along the Changjiang, guarding the border. As a result, Great Zhou's army did not encounter any resistance all the way south. If they did not stop to raise grain, the lower realms would not be able to hold on for more than two years.

The information on how the Great Zheng Army entered the Changjiang Fu Ting was not detailed. This was because during this period of history, he mainly wrote about how the Eastern Northern Army fought the Great Zhengjun Army to the death and how they protected the northeastern granary. The southern battlefield only had a few strokes. However, Fu Tingzhi knew that the Great Zheng Cavalry feared the water. Choosing the water route to the south was definitely the safest route.

"The Great Righteous Army doesn't have enough rations..." Ye Qingcheng looked at Fu Zhizhi with a crooked face: "Does Ting Zhizhi know how to march and fight?" The three armies only needed to gather a few months' worth of grain before setting off to the south. This was the biggest secret of the army. Why was it that the pavilion leader spoke as if it was a personal experience?

Fu Ting looked up at him and smiled. "I love reading. I pick up all the books and read them. That's why I know that when an army is deployed, they must gather military supplies. However, I don't understand the art of war at all. " After saying that, he simply said seriously, "Brother, please don't think about discussing the formation of the army with me, and I don't have any plans to join the army." With just one sentence, he cut off any possible path of retreat for him to become an advisor. "Speaking of which, I am ashamed to say that I am a clean, clean, elegant, and honorable person. The only wish in Ting Zhi's life. "

"That's great!" Ye Qingcheng felt relieved for no reason. "The pavilion's literary talent is outstanding. He is already the number one scholar. It would be a pity if he did not become a famous person."

"In that case, shall we choose this path?" Fu Zhizhi's finger stroked the River of Accumulation on the map. "Brother Qingcheng, you will follow us down the river. When we arrive, most of you will be able to join the army. You can be considered loyal to us."

"Ting Zhi." Ye Qingcheng was most afraid of talking about joining the army, so he intentionally changed the topic: "I was born in the northwest and didn't know how to ride a ship or travel through water."

The pavilion put away the map: "It's fine. Xuan Zhizhi was very good at swimming when he was young, so let him teach you." He got up and picked up the torch: "I am very tired. If I don't wake up at noon, don't call me to eat."
