Since he made up his mind, the group quickly turned north.

It's just a pity that three strong horses are.

This was originally a good horse specially selected by Jiang Feng. Even though it cannot be compared with the war horses in Yan Dai, it can definitely be called a healthy horse in Huainan. The price of such a healthy horse is definitely more than 80 taels of silver. These three healthy horses are almost the income of ten families in a year.

After crossing the Huai River, you will enter Caizhou.

Caizhou, originally called Runan, was abolished by the Sui Dynasty and established Yuzhou. Later, it avoided the taboo of Li Yu of Emperor Daizong of Tang Dynasty, and then named Caizhou.

Caizhou has always been a place where talents gather, but what really made Caizhou famous was Li Jue's acquisition of Caizhou at a snowy night and solved the problem of Huaixi in one fell swoop. However, this was of little significance to the general trend of the world. The rise of the vassals was no longer something that Li Tang, a terminally ill car, could no longer control. Therefore, when Zhu Liang dominated the Central Plains, Li Tang's glory was swept away the old papers, even though its descendants still struggled unyieldingly in Guanzhong, trying to regain their glory.

Jiang Feng found that he still underestimated Ju Li.

He thought that the daughter of the Ju family's concubine should be a home girl who is proficient in martial arts, low emotional intelligence and not understanding the world, but soon he realized that he was wrong.

From Langling Mountain to the north, passing Wenchengzha and Yangui Mountain is the original important iron smelting center of Han.

Because this line was a key military defense area in Caizhou, the group of four had to lean to the west and cross the wilderness.

Like Jiang Feng, Chu Qi and Chen Shi were both used to marching in the wild. Jiang Feng was a scout. Although these two people were young, they also grew up with hardships. They were not unfamiliar with this kind of marching in the wild. What made Jiang Feng a little worried was Ju Li. Unexpectedly, this tall and toned woman was walking in the wild, which made the three of them unable to keep up and even became the leader of the pathfinder.

The four of them walked for five days in one go, crossing Wuyang and entering Ye County from Langshan, before they relaxed.

From Ye County to Xiangcheng to Xuzhou, this line is already considered the hinterland of Liangdi. Although it has been robbed by ant thieves, the ant thieves almost left the Liangdi and did not stay in Liangdi for too long, so the impact on this side is much lighter than that of Caizhou.

At that time, the main force of ant thieves was moving in Liangdi, and they were more likely to hide between Lushan Mountain in Ruzhou and Yiyang in Henan Prefecture. This place was between Xionger Mountain and Funiu Mountain. The terrain was undulating. It was here that the ant thieves completed the reorganization of the Yiluo bandits and began to return east.

"Mr. Yuhou, do you say that Ye County was captured and looted by an ant thief more than two months ago?"

Seeing the prosperous and lively scene in front of you, whether it was Chu Qi, Chen Shi, or Ju Qi standing beside you, you couldn't believe it.

Ye County is located in a key pass. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "the south is connected to Gui, and the north is reached by Youyan". It reaches Qilu in the east, Qinlong in the west, passes in the north, and ferry in the north. This is the first key pass for the Nanyang Basin to enter the Central Plains. From the remnant line of Fangcheng Mountain, it is Ye County, and also crossing Fangcheng Mountain to the south, it is the northeast of Nanyang Basin.

Because of the importance of Ye County, although this place is not the capital of Ruzhou Prefecture, it is a key place for troops to be stationed, especially here, which is almost in a straight line with Wuyang in Xuzhou and Xiping in Caizhou, and is quite close to each other. If it is a cavalry, it can also cross three states.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for an ant thief to attack such a garrison, and the Liang army could not give up easily. However, the ant thief really captured Ye County and advanced all the way east, from Ye County to Wuyang, and then swept across Xiping and Wufang, which was really shocking.

Standing outside the gate of Ye County, Jiang Feng was also a little puzzled and could not answer this question.

The situation of the people coming and going in front of him is indeed not in line with the situation in his mind that he was swept away by ant thief.

Logically speaking, Ye County was swept by an ant thief, and no matter how fast it recovers, it would be impossible for the situation in front of him.

It is almost the hour of You, and some prefectures and counties have already begun to prepare to close the city gates.

It is said that Ye County is adjacent to Nanyang, and it is also a border county in Liangdi, and is close to Funiu Mountain and Fangcheng Mountain. Mountain bandits and bandits should be rampant, and the gates of the county town should be closed early. In front of you, there is no sign of the gate of Ye County, and there are still endless business trips coming and going.

There are even many food stalls outside the city gate, with shouts and smoke rising from the cooking stove, completely looking like a long-standing situation. Is this a situation that was looted by an ant thief?

Seeing that Jiang Feng was also confused, Chen Shi couldn't ask further questions. If he asked again, he might stop Lord Yu Hou.

Jiang Feng was really unwilling to give up, and thought for a while before saying, "Let's go, let's go to the city gate there to have a sharp drink of water."

The group came to the city gate, which was the south gate of Yexian County. From the official road coming from the south of Fangcheng, they reached the city gate. Two large wooden horses with thick waists were placed next to the road.

Several soldiers leaned lazily against the horse and chatted. A guy in the team was flirting with a traveler who was about to enter the city. He probably felt that there was nothing to check, so he fiddled with the other party's baggage a few times, then waved his hand and signaled the other party to enter the city.

A team of donkey-packing teams came along the official road. The leader was sweating profusely. He obviously wanted to enter the city before the city gate was closed. Fortunately, it was still early, so he caught up.

The attention of several soldiers was obviously attracted by the donkey team, and their eyes were all looking at the goods carried by the donkey team.

The man in the team leader also smiled happily, obviously quite satisfied with the fact that he had caught up with the city gate. He turned around and greeted the guy behind him, picked up the sweat towel on his neck and wiped the sweat on his face, and then put it on his shoulders again. The cloth boots in the soles of his feet were filled with dust and walked quickly.

"Brother, Mengdu is not here?"

When he heard about his immediate boss, including the team, his face became much better. He glanced at the leading man, "Everyone is on the city tower, what are you carrying?"

"Medicinal materials and medicinal materials are all needed by Chongzhengyuan. Our Taiji Mark specially purchased from Yiling, Xiazhou, and are all Yizhou medicinal materials with the highest number." The man skillfully grabbed a large handful of copper coins from his sleeve bag. He seemed to weigh it for a moment, and felt that it was a little too little, so he threw it back. He simply took out his usual copper coins and stuffed them into the forehand of the pioneers. "Brothers, I have worked hard, I will buy a bowl of wine to quench my thirst."

Although his face looked much better, he did not refuse the copper coins stuffed by the man. He just nodded and covered it with the shield in his hand. He took the copper coins and stuffed them to a guy with a fire-like appearance next to him. "Open the carriage and take a look, the routine rules."

"I understand, understand, brothers, open the basket and be careful." The man didn't care. He was probably used to this. This is the rule to enter the city, and he had to check it and greet the guys below.
