Winter has begun in the Central Plains, but all the way to the south, the winter is warmer than the cold and windy Luoyan City. When we reach Desong County, it is a warm winter scene.
Many waterwheels have been built along the five tributaries of Qinchuan, and the newly excavated channels are criss-crossed like a chessboard, irrigating the whole city. Song County is like a peach garden hidden in the mountains. No matter how the outside world is turned upside down, Songdi is always the same.
Geng Shu brought a letter of appointment as a Marquis, and was named Marquis of Wuling by King Yong, while Jiang Heng resumed his post as Taishi.
Song Zou was not surprised that the two came in secret, and began to report on the size of the year.
After going through the chaotic document system of Yongdong Temple, Jiang Heng only felt that Song Zou was too clever in governing the county, and everything was quite organized.
"You want to be a scout, you have already trained almost in this year," Song Zou said. "Master Hou and Taishi will be available in a few days."
Jiang Heng took a bath, changed clothes, and lay on the couch. Geng Shu went out to inspect his army. He will use the army in the spring of next year, and he must re-train in the last spare time of winter.
"Send all the scouts," Jiang Heng said, "to closely monitor the movements of various countries, especially Dai Guo and Zheng Guo."
These two countries directly bordered Yong, and the new king was also related to Zheng by blood, and their alliance was stronger than any other country.
Song Zou took the order and said, "Mr. Jiang has lost a lot of weight."
"Tired." Jiang Heng sighed softly and said, "It's a little difficult, even if you try your best."
"There are some problems, you can spend your time," Song Zou thought for a while and said, "No matter how difficult it is to deal with people, they will die and die."
"Yeah." Jiang Heng said, "but I'm going to die, I just don't know who will die first."
Song Zou laughed, Jiang Heng shook his head, and suddenly found that the main mansion of Songxian City was sometimes like another home outside Yongdu Luoyan City. It was because he was the first person to provide protection for them after they reunited with Geng Shu. 's little world.
"The Princess Daiguo was sent by a merchant," Song Zou said, holding out a sword. "The person who came said it was a thank you gift."
"The Sword of Lie Light." Jiang Heng recognized the sword. When Geng Shu returned it, Ji Shuang sent it to Song County. Quan Dang thanked Geng Shu and Jiang Heng for what they had done in Xichuan.
Today, in the name of Dai Guo, Li Xiao is the Dai King, but in fact, it has fallen under the control of Ji Shuang.
"Sister-in-law is a powerful person." Jiang Heng said.
"What sister-in-law?" Geng Shu took out the bright lightsaber, glanced at it, and said coldly, "The marriage contract has long since been annulled. You haven't been rectified these days, and you're making fun of me?"
"Put down the sword!" Jiang Hengchao held the sword and said to him, "It's not a joke."
Geng Shu twisted Jiang Heng's hand with one hand, pressed him on the couch, looked at it or not, and pushed the sword into the sheath with the other hand, just right, freeing up his hand to make fun of Jiang Heng. Jiang Heng took advantage of the situation and grabbed the Lieguang Sword, even the sword and sheath, and pressed it against Geng Shu's chest.
"What?" Geng Shu pressed Jiang Heng, lowered his head and said, "Want to kill me?"
Jiang Heng looked at Geng Shu, his face was slightly red, and he pushed him with his scabbard as a demonstration.
"If you want to kill your brother," Geng Shu's voice was low and pleasant, and he slowly untied the rivet with one hand, and said, "Stab here and I will die."
Jiang Heng placed his sword on Geng Shu's neck, as if he could feel Geng Shu's scorching breathing and strong heartbeat.
"You," Jiang Heng said, "here, take it."
Jiang Heng read in the ancient book of Haige, one golden seal, two stars and jade, three swords and four gods.
Geng Shu hadn't used the black sword for a long time. It was the relic of their father. After all, he needed a weapon. The Lieguang Sword was also a magic weapon, so it was perfect.
Geng Shu rolled over and sat up, took out the blazing light sword, and looked at it carefully.
"You're like a blazing light," Jiang Heng said, " bright."
"I'm not." Geng Shu said to Jiang Heng, "You are, Heng'er, you wake up like a sunny day."
"How's the army?" Jiang Heng rubbed Geng Shu's back, and the two of them looked at the sword.
Geng Shu felt depressed when he mentioned it. Next, there was still the military formation to be reorganized, so he had to take out the Taigong's art of war and re-arrange the formation. That afternoon, Jiang Heng reviewed the content of the reform in Song County, while Geng Shu lay on the couch, letting Jiang Heng lie in his arms, holding a book in one hand, thinking about the tactics of attacking the ground.
When Juicong begins the battle against Yubi Pass, Geng Shu and Jiang Heng will immediately deploy their troops to capture the city of Xunyang in Yuedi. .
But what if Prince Ling didn't eat this set
Wei Zhuo and Guan Wei's plan was to let Geng Shu attack Jeju City next and attack the capital of Zheng State. In this way, Prince Ling could not sit idly by.
However, with only 20,000 people on hand, how easy is it to conquer the capital of a country? The most fearful thing is that their army will be dragged in the territory of Zheng State, and they will start a protracted stalemate battle.
Geng Shu unconsciously put his hand into Jiang Heng's clothes and touched his back, as if he was touching Costin intimately. Jiang Heng was very comfortable in this warm winter, rubbing his foot back and forth on Geng Shu's instep, and gradually fell asleep. Half asleep and half awake, he heard Song Zou come to report and say a few words, and Geng Shu replied indifferently, "I know."
"What?" Jiang Heng woke up.
"Our scouts found a lot of iron transport caravans in Jiaozhou." Geng Shu replied, "You continue to sleep."
Jiang Heng yawned and sat up. He and Geng Shu were too lazy to dress properly when they were in the hall, so they both wore undershirts. Jiang Heng was dressed in white, while Geng Shu was dressed in black and black socks. With Jiang Heng.
"Jiaozhou." Jiang Heng thought for a while and glanced at the map on the wall.
Jiaozhou is the frontier of Zheng State, facing the sea in the east and mountains and mountains in the north. It is also common to set up a forging yard there.
"Pig iron?" Jiang Heng asked.
Geng Shu said, "I didn't hear clearly, let Song Zou come back and ask again?"
Jiang Heng shook his head, Geng Shu put down the file at hand, and said, "Go take a bath."
There is a warm pool behind the city lord's mansion. Geng Shu has been training for days and his muscles are sore, so he just soaked in the pool to relax.
It has been more than two months since they arrived in Song County. In another 20 days, Geng Shu will fight, leaving Song County with 20,000 Yong troops, entering Liangdi, and plundering instead of making up for it, all the way to the east of Xun.
Jiang Heng really couldn't accept this kind of combat method, but Juicong decided to do it, as always, he was the only one.
"Don't go to practice these few days." Jiang Heng said.
"Pinch my shoulders for me." Geng Shu said, "It's fine, it doesn't affect the marching and fighting."
Geng Shu's shoulders were stiff, Jiang Heng pinched it a few times for him, and saw that Geng Shu was pushing a leaf over the water, ripples appeared, and he suddenly stopped.
Geng Shu: "?"
Jiang Heng stared at the leaf, Geng Shu leaned over and kissed him on the side of the face.
"What's wrong?" Geng Shu asked.
Jiang Heng woke up like a dream in an instant, and the water came out with a "clatter", and Geng Shu said, "Wait! What's wrong?"
Jiang Heng wrapped his bathrobe and ran into the hall barefoot. Geng Shu hurriedly put on his bathrobe and said, "Don't run! Talk well!"

Jiang Heng said, "Water transport!"
Geng Shu hugged Jiang Heng horizontally and quickly entered the hall. Jiang Heng shouted: "Let's pass Song Zou! Quick! Call the commander of the Chamber of Commerce!"
In less than a stick of incense, four people came to the hall, Song Zou, Song County Chamber of Commerce chief Zhao Kui, and Yong Jun, two ten thousand commanders.
"Don't worry." Geng Shu only wore a bathrobe and sat sideways on the couch in front of the case. Jiang Heng still had his half-wet hair loose and looked at the map worriedly.
Song Zou said, "But there is news from Yubi Pass?"
"No." Jiang Heng walked to the map, pulled out his red pen, followed the marking of Jiaozhou Port, and said, "Where is the farthest sea route that has been explored in Jiaozhou?"
The commander of the chamber of commerce said: "Jiaozhou has always been an important military town of Zheng State. There is no news, it is difficult for scouts to enter, and many sea ships interact with South Vietnam. After leaving the port, they often do not know where they went. The country is indeed going to war because they…”
Jiang Heng picked up the conversation and said, "Because they shipped a lot of iron to Jiaozhou."
"Yes," Song Zou said, "this is the news that came back today."
Jiang Heng said: "That is to say, it was half a month ago when I was inquired."
Grand Commander Zhao Kui nodded: "Actually, they will deliver iron, and the time will only be earlier. According to our speculation, this time should be before the summer. Maybe this is the last batch."
"From Jiaozhou Port," Jiang Heng said, "according to the wind direction in autumn and winter, where is the farthest you can go?"
Geng Shu did not expect that Jiang Heng, who had never seen the sea in his life, actually knew a lot about shipping.
"This is going to ask someone who has walked across the boat road to ask." Song Zou replied, "I remember that there was a boat merchant in Wuyue Land, but I don't know if he is in Song Land. What does Mr. Jiang think?"
"All the scouts deliver the letter," Jiang Heng said. "Go to these locations to see if there are any supply stations."
With that said, Jiang Heng went all the way from Jiaozhou along the coastline to mark the north, until a coast in the territory of Yongguo.
At this time, Jiang Heng had another idea.
"Sun Ying may have come here by boat," Jiang Heng said to Geng Shu, "I just don't know how many people they went."
Geng Shu's face also became serious, and he said, "I'll send the letter back now."
"Send to the East Palace." Jiang Heng said.
If Jiang Heng's guess is correct, Prince Ling is unremittingly transporting troops to the northeast of Yong Kingdom... The coastline of Yongdi has been empty for many years, and I only hope that it is still too late.
"Don't send troops as planned in the near future." Jiang Heng said to Geng Shu.
Geng Shu thought for a while and said, "It's too risky."
"Once Prince Ling bypasses the Yubi Pass," Jiang Heng said, "to transport the troops to the rear of Yong Kingdom, the soldiers in your hands are the last hope. Being dragged in Vietnam, the last army to rescue the country was gone."
Geng Shu was silent, and finally he decided to listen to Jiang Heng on this matter.
"But if you don't send troops to contain the Yubi Pass, if the Yong Kingdom wants to advance, then..."
"Then let him die," Jiang Heng said. "Who promised me to stab him with a sword earlier?"
"Understood." Geng Shu said immediately and with interest. Of course, he knew that Jiang Heng was speaking the opposite. Jiang Heng was the one who was the most anxious these days. Until the time limit for sending troops passed, he still asked Geng Shu to forcibly hold back.
Geng Shu released Haidongqing, and the news he brought back was three words from Juicong: Got it.
"What do you mean 'understood'?" Jiang Heng said in disbelief, "Didn't he send someone to investigate?"
"If he says he knows, he knows," Geng Shu said, "what can I do?"
At this time, the ship merchant summoned by Song Zou came, Jiang Heng immediately got up from Geng Shu's arms, straightened his clothes, and it was too late to ask him the word, and said: "The sea ship from Jiaozhou, after going north, can reach the farthest. Where?"
"Back to the words of your lord," the ship dealer said, "the youngest has only been in Wudi for a few years. I don't know the specifics, so I can only hear from hearsay..."
Jiang Heng: "Just say as much as you know."
"...the four ports in Zhengdi go to and from Nanyue and other places, and they do nothing but sea business. Most of the ships of the Zheng people are river ships. If you want to sail on the sea, you must turn to the Ying people for help. But the Jiaozhou port goes all the way to the north. Almost no one has been there for many years, and Zheng Guo also does not allow any business routes to pass through Jiaozhou, all of which are official ships…”
"... Jiaozhou and Lingang in the Northland, I heard that there were exchanges many years ago, but as long as you go north, there are many reefs, and in spring and summer, almost no boat can safely get here."
"The pen goes to you. Unless what?" Jiang Heng handed him the red pen, knowing that he must have something to say.
The shipman thought for a moment, circled a sea area, and said, "What the lord said is that unless the autumn and winter seasons, there will be a month of southwesterly winds. For a full October, I drove to the easternmost part of Donglan Mountain, but if there is any place where I can get to the shore, the villain will…”
When Jiang Heng heard this, the world was spinning.
Now his only hope is that the Zheng people have only sent the army into Yongjing, and have not yet succeeded in turning against the Linhu and Di clansmen, otherwise...
"How many people can one ship carry?" Geng Shu remained calm until this moment.
"The maximum is 2,000, the minimum is 800," said the shipper. "There is no set number. If the cargo hold is vacated, um, an average of 2,000 people can be accommodated. But the trade route is about 'round-trip'. This sea route has There is no return, so Zheng Guo almost never does business with Yong Guo on the sea road..."
Jiang Heng sat on the couch and waved his hand unconsciously, motioning to step back first, and when he looked at Geng Shu again, Geng Shu's expression remained calm.
"There won't be too many people," Geng Shu said. "Counting their ten ships, there are only 20,000 people."
Jiang Heng said, "Feng Yu is back? Who is leading the army under Yubi Pass?"
Geng Shu said: "Princess Wuying, the father and the king are still in Luoyan, waiting for the news of our attack on Xundong City."
It has been ten days since the time they agreed, and Geng Shu has remained silent. The strange thing is that there is no news from Luoyan City. The messenger should have arrived in Song County three days ago, urging Geng Shu, and bringing Juicong’s big brother. angry.
I asked you to attack the enemy's rear, but you are still standing still in Song County? !
But the messenger didn't come, and Geng Shu released Costin, which took four days.
Immediately afterwards, Costin flew into the city lord's mansion with a piece of blood-stained cloth.
There are only six words on it: Luo Yan was rescued by the siege.
