Rongyun County, Dongjie, Chishui County.
Li Xin led a hundred Xunyi Guards to rush through the night and finally arrived here after half a month.
"I am Gu Songnian, the commander of Chiyun Army. I have seen the Inspector General."
Inside the county government office of Chishui County, a slightly thin and short but resolute man bows to Li Xin.
"General Gu, you don't have to be so polite. In the next two months, I will still need your assistance a lot."
Li Xin spoke gently.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Gu Songnian informed Li Xin about the situation of the entire grain convoy.
This batch of grain is the relief supplies for Hongyun County.
He Wen Zhong attaches great importance to it, not only allowing Li Xin to lead the Xuan Yi Wei to escort it, but also sending a senior general and ten thousand soldiers to accompany them.
"We are transporting grain from Chishui County all the way westward, passing through Yangqiu City, Qucheng, and Yunjiang County, before reaching the capital city."
"If everything goes smoothly, we can safely deliver the grain within two months."
Gusongnian said.
"I wonder, General Gu, what should we pay attention to?" Li Xin asked.
"The only thing we need to be cautious of is guarding against Tian Hu. Please take a look, Inspector General."
谷松年拿出一张地形图，铺展在桌面，地图上标记了大半个红云郡的地形，详细到了每一个村庄、小径、河流。
“从赤水县到阳丘城，只有一条官道可以走，期间要经过太风山。”
"This is a very windy and mountainous area, with deep mountains and dense forests, and the terrain is winding like an intestines. It is extremely suitable for ambush. Tian Hu might be ambushing here."
Hearing this, Li Xin frowned slightly, "If we are not sure if the enemy has an ambush, why don't we take a detour?"
Hearing this, Gu Songnian smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to take a detour, but if we do, the risk will be even greater."
Gu Songnian's finger slid to the other side of the map: "If we detour, we'll have to pass through Da Feng County, where the Tai Feng Mountains block the way, and we'll have to go around in a big circle at least."
"If we spend twice as much time, we will be nearing Jiudu Prefecture in Da Feng County. It's possible that Jiudu Prefecture, regardless of whether they are against King Fang La or not, will intervene and send people to intercept the grain."
"If Tian Hu is just causing a minor disturbance, then King Fang La of Jiudu Prefecture will truly become a force to be reckoned with."
Nine provinces and ten counties are under the control of Fang La, who has already occupied eight counties. The remaining two counties are in great danger and even defending the cities is difficult.
Furthermore, he has declared himself as the king, adopting the title of Shun King, and has established his own government and military forces.
A rebel, a rebel against the king.
One word difference, a world of difference.
A rebel is just a bandit, but a rebel against the king has established a small court with great righteousness.
It is equivalent to openly challenging the dignity of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
…
Thought of Fang La having the support of top martial arts sects and numerous high-level martial artists under his command, including martial arts masters and grandmasters.
Li Xin's intention to take a detour vanished instantly.
'For this supply transportation, Jing Ye Division has three True Qi realm warriors, plus Gu Songnian, making it four. With the protection of ten thousand troops, there should be no concerns regarding safety.'
And although Tian Hu has a group of fierce generals under his command, he still needs to withdraw troops to defend against local county soldiers, so there are not many skilled experts available to send for intercepting grain.
Li Xin was very confident in his heart.
On the second day, Li Xin went to the training ground to assemble.
On the vast training ground, people were crowded, and there were many food carts, with at least tens of thousands of people.
"One stone of food weighs one hundred and twenty kilograms, and one million stones is already a significant number."
'Under Gu Songnian's command, this army of ten thousand is only escorting the grain carts, while the task of transporting falls to the one hundred thousand peasant workers.'
'Once everyone is gathered, the army will set off, stretching out like a long dragon on the official road.'
The supply carts and coolies walked inside, while a group of soldiers on horseback, wearing armor and carrying weapons, surrounded them.
Li Xin and his black-clad royal guards, on the other hand, were seated in the center.
The sun was scorching, compounded by the limited stamina of the coolies.
It only travels a distance of dozens of miles in a day.
As dusk approached, Gu Songnian's grain convoy stopped and searched for a suitable place to camp and make a fire for cooking.
Mere camping alone requires profound knowledge and skills.
Li Xin, in addition to practicing meditation and cultivating qi daily, whenever he has free time, he seeks guidance from Gu Songnian on military knowledge.
Having multiple skills does not burden oneself. Even if Li Xin does not serve in the army, it is still beneficial to have some knowledge of military affairs.
And Gu Songnian didn't hide anything, revealing his more than ten years of military experience.
For example, when setting up a camp, finding a suitable location, whether there is a good water source, higher or lower ground, with or without trees...
All of these have their own rules and customs.
Through constant interaction, Li Xin became acquainted with General Gu.
"We will enter the Tai Feng Mountain area in two more days. Once we pass the Tai Feng Mountain, the journey will be much safer."
Inside the tent, Gu Songnian poured a bowl of green plum wine for Li Xin, then urged his true qi, causing a chilling aura to immediately fill the air.
Soon, a layer of frost appeared on the entire bowl of wine.
Li Xin gulped it down and felt a cool sensation all over his body.
He couldn't help but feel amazed at how effective this Gu Songnian's Ice True Qi was, it was like a mobile refrigerator.
"I have already sent scouts to investigate, and the front line has reported that Tian Hu's army is currently engaged in battle with the Chi Yun army. It will take some time to determine the outcome."
In the face of Valley Pine Year, there is a trace of relaxation.
Chi Yunjun is the county soldier of Hongyun County, with a population of 200,000.
Now, General Yin Zhuping is leading 100,000 troops to besiege the rebel Tianhu, and the two sides are deadlocked.
Hearing this, Li Xin also relaxed a bit.
It seems that He Wenzhong is determined to eliminate Tian Hu.
Yin Zhuping is a famous warrior in Hongyun County. I wonder how many bandits he has fought and how skilled he is in battle.
Even in a battle against Tian Hu, there are victories and defeats.
With him holding off Tian Hu's main force, the pressure on Li Xin and others to transport supplies was reduced.
Soon, five days passed in this manner.
Li Xin and others also entered the Tai Feng Mountains.
If we walk one more day, we can walk out of the Taifeng Mountain.
At this time, in each temporary camp, there are piles of food.
Groups of laborers sit around the campfire, chatting and eating, with tired yet genuine smiles on their faces.
"The people's hearts are won over! The magistrate is indeed a great official for my Hongyun County."
Gu Songnian finished his meal as usual and came to inspect each and every camp. He felt satisfied upon seeing this scene.
Li Xin on the side remained silent.
Just as the two of them were inspecting the next camp, suddenly a burst of fireworks erupted ten miles behind them, echoing through the night sky.
"This is an enemy attack!!"
Gusongnian's face changed dramatically.
Only heard a slight trembling sound coming from the ground, as if thousands of horses and soldiers were rushing.
"Cavalry! This Tianhu really sent someone over!"
Li Xin took a deep breath, not overly panicked.
After all, he and Gu Songnian had already rehearsed this scene hundreds of times.
Gu Songnian quickly went to gather the army to resist the cavalry.
Li Xin also called Tan Yuli and other Xuan Yi guards to mount their horses, and had them spread out in the various campsites, guarding against the enemy sending skilled martial artists to infiltrate the campsites and set fire to the grain.

- Upon receiving this news in the deep palace of Gaojing, Emperor Qingyuan became extremely furious and condemned the Northwestern King.
The Northwestern King issued six successive edicts and dispatched the renowned general Chu Zhilong to suppress the rebellion in the northwest region.
