Xiacheng, from Princess Ningping, Liu Boji, lived here for a long time.

Princess Ningping was sent by Liu Xiu to marry Zhang Hua, but a few months later, Liu Boji didn't even see Zhang Hua's shadow and was very depressed.

Liu Xiu sent another team of envoys to visit his sister Liu Boji.

"Zhang Hua actually ignored the alliance with His Majesty. Do you look down on us great men!"

The Grand Tutor Deng Yu led the envoy to come. He heard that Zhang Hua had never paid attention to Liu Boji and was so angry.

Liu Boji is Liu Xiu's sister and has a close relationship with Liu Xiu. Zhang Hua looked down on Liu Boji, but he just looked down on Liu Xiu.

Deng Yu had a solemn expression: "When your Majesty pacified the sixteen states of Yanyun, he will definitely lead a million troops to go south to ask for an explanation for the eldest princess."

Liu Boji asked: "If it was just for this matter and caused the disaster, I would be ashamed of the world... How has the Emperor attacked the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?"

Deng Yu replied: "There are many powerful enemies in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Even with His Majesty's ability, it will be difficult to conquer these cities for a while. I'm afraid that it will take His Majesty a little time to win..."

"Since Brother Emperor is fighting in Yanyun, the war is intensifying, Grand Situ also asks to return and assist Brother Emperor and capture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun as soon as possible."

"Since I have encountered this, I cannot sit idly by and watch. I and His Highness the Princess go to Chang'an to ask for an explanation!"

Deng Yu insisted on escorting the eldest princess to Chang'an City.

The civil and military ministers of the Han Dynasty all had a sense of arrogance.

In Deng Yu's view, the alliance set by Liu Xiu and Zhang Hua must be fulfilled.

"The princess who married her for a long time stayed here is not a long-term solution. They are allowed to go to Chang'an City."

Han Fei, the minister in charge of Xiacheng, heard that Deng Yu, the envoy who came from Liu Xiu's power, decided to escort Princess Ningping to Chang'an City, and agreed to come down.

The minor official who assisted Han Fei reminded: "Sir, according to the report of Du Mu, the prefect of Hongnong, a group of mountain barbarians appeared recently on the Lushan Road leading from Xiacheng to Chang'an, attacking the passing caravan. Du Mu was recruiting troops and preparing to attack this group of mountain barbarians."

"How big is the size of the mountain barbarians?"

"There are about two or three hundred people in the number of mountain barbarians attacking the caravan every time. Therefore, Du Mu planned to recruit three thousand township warriors to go into the mountains to attack the mountain barbarians."

"Let the postman inform Du Mu in advance that when the princess's carriage passed through his jurisdiction, he would send troops to protect it. Ling Wang Feng led 500 Green Forest Army to set off from Xiacheng's carriage to escort the princess's carriage, and then returned to Chang'an City."

Han Fei pondered for a while and quickly made proper arrangements.

The other side was two or three hundred mountain barbarians, Wang Feng's 500 Green Forest Army, plus the dozens of swordsmen brought by Deng Yu, were enough to deal with. Moreover, Du Mu had already recruited 3,000 village warriors near Hongnong to prepare to attack this group of mountain barbarians.

With such a strong force, Princess Ning Ping should be able to pass through the Koshan Road smoothly.

"This time the mission is to protect Princess Ningping's carriage from the smooth arrival of Chang'an City. There is no difficulty in this mission."

Wang Feng of the Green Forest Army immediately clicked 500 Green Forest Army when he received this task.

Speaking of which, Wang Feng and Liu Xiu were once comrades-in-arms.

In the Battle of Kunyang, Wang Feng defended the city, and Liu Xiu rescued the siege and defeated Wang Mang's 420,000 Xin Dynasty army.

"Wang Feng of the Green Forest Army?"

Deng Yu recognized Wang Feng.

"Deng Yu, no see for a long time."

Wang Feng nodded and showed up.

When the two talked about the past, they were a little sad.

In the late Western Han Dynasty, Wang Feng did not compete for the world and became enemies with Liu Xiu, but retired to Green Forest Mountain, so both sides were just comrades-in-arms, not enemies.

Princess Ninh Ping's convoy, plus the entourage and groom, had about 600 people.

Among them, the 500 Green Forest Army were divided into two groups, located in the front and rear.

Dozens of swordsmen are guarding around the carriage.

The swordsmen brought by Deng Yu had at least 55 years of force, which was equivalent to high-level troops.

Deng Yu himself also rode a war horse with a sword hanging around his waist.

He had already organized the language in advance and was ready to condemn Zhang Hua very much after seeing him and convince others with reason.

Zhang Hua ignored Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu's sister, which was unreasonable.

The carriage convoy entered the narrow Wushan Road.

The mountains of Wu are endless, and there are many mountain people and barbarians in the mountains.

However, ordinary mountain barbarians will avoid the huge convoys and dare not provoke them.

On one of the hills, several mountain barbarians were secretly peeking at Princess Ninh Bin's convoy passing by from below.

"So many people, just to protect a few carriages, there must be some treasures in the carriage."

"We go back and tell the king to kill the soldiers guarding the carriage convoy and take away the treasures in the carriage."

"Hongnong's prefect killed many of our tribe members, and we must fight for tooth!"

Several mountain barbarians retreated, and behind them were the vast Wushan Mountains.

Du Mu, who was promoted from Ruzhou County Magistrate to Hongnong Prefecture, was moving into the mountains to attack the mountain barbarians who had recently begun to be active, forcibly migrating the captured mountain barbarians to the plains.

Du Mu received a letter from Han Fei, so he led the local brave men who attacked the mountain barbarians to pick up Princess Yongping's carriage.

In the forest of Wushan, you can see the figures of mountain barbarians shuttled through the forest, quickly approaching the place where Du Mu and the princess carriage meet.

"Recently, more and more mountain barbarians appearing on the Lushan Road. It seems that some people have conquered these mountain barbarian tribes scattered deep in the Lushan Mountains. The rural heroes I led have captured hundreds of mountain barbarians alive. Perhaps, we should request to dispatch a regular army to attack this group of mountain barbarians."

Du Mu talked with Wang Feng about the rebellion of the mountain barbarians on the Lushan Road, and was worried.

Things seem to be a bit out of the range Du Mu can control.

The forces of Zhang Hua's forces can be divided into Imperial Guards, Conventional Army, City Defense Army, and Township Warriors who maintain public order.

The rural brave men from all over the country are usually enough to maintain public order, but if a rebellion occurs, they will eventually use the conventional feudal legion.

Du Mu became the prefect of Hongnong, and with three thousand townsmen, he could barely fight with the rebellious mountain barbarians, but more and more mountain barbarians left Wushan and attacked villages and caravans everywhere, which was somewhat beyond Du Mu's control.

"Since there are mountain barbarians in Lushan Mountain, hurry up and escort the princess' carriage through Lushan Road, otherwise it will change later."

Deng Yu urged the carriage convoy to speed up.

Princess Ning Ping sat in the carriage and had a bad premonition in her heart.

Chirp.

In the forests of Wushan Road, a dense rain of arrows shot out, sprinkling over the heads of Green Forest Army and Hongnong Township Yong. The arrow clusters shine with a dark purple luster!

Dozens of rural heroes were shot into hedgehogs by arrows!

"ah!!!"

A Green Forest soldier who was shot in the arrow found that his wound was ulcerated and let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"No, it's the mountain man!"

"Poison Arrow!"

"Fight against the mountain barbarians!"

Du Mu drew out his long sword and directed the village brave men to fight against the mountain barbarians.

The Yong of Hongnong Township held up a leather shield and a wooden shield to form a shield wall and guarded the carriage.

Deng Yu and Wang Feng were also famous generals who had experienced many battles. They immediately drew their long swords, led the swordsmen and the Green Forest Army, and cooperated with Du Mu to fight against the mountain barbarians.

The carriage suddenly stopped, and Princess Ning Ping almost fell.

She lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw thousands of mountain barbarian gods in the mountains and forests.

These mountain barbarians held hunting bows in their hands, carried arrow bags, and used hunting bows to shoot arrows at Du Mu, Deng Yu and his group.

The deadly arrow poured down, and even the carriage was shot by an arrow.

“…”

Princess Ning Ping's face was pale.

This is the second time she has been intercepted and killed halfway!

The last time was attacked by Guan Hai's Yellow Turban Army, and this time was attacked by the barbarians of Mount Wu!

"My luck is too bad..."

Princess Ning Ping couldn't help but feel depressed.

At this time, Du Mu and Wang Feng were already fighting with the mountain barbarians.

When Du Mu saw the attack of mountain barbarians all over the mountains, his face turned pale and showed an incredible expression: "Impossible, why are there so many mountain barbarians in Mount Wu??"

This time, the number of mountain barbarians who attacked Du Mu, Wang Feng and his group was actually thousands!

"Du Mu, if you kill my tribe, I must avenge this revenge!"

The thick roar echoed in the forest of Mount Wu, alarming countless birds.

"The voice is loud and thick, the leader of the mountain barbarians has great force..."

Deng Yu judged the force of the Shan Barbarian leader from the voice of the Shan Barbarian leader.
