Chapter 496 Summer Fatigue
Yu Dujun Mountain was called Yanran Mountain in the Han Dynasty, and Dou Xian Yanran, the general of the Han Dynasty, was here.

Yudujun Mountain is located in the north of the desert, facing northwest and southeast, and stretching for more than a thousand miles. It is an important place in the north of the desert. The north is also where Xue Yantuo Khan Court is located.

Dujun Yu’s mountain was originally located in the extreme north, and even Li Jing never came here when he was in the Northern Expedition. In addition, Zhijushui River Valley is backed by the middle section of Dujun Yu’s mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Since the Han Dynasty, this is the first time that the Central Plains Dynasty sent Soldiers here.

From Lushan, Li Ke led [-] elite Chinese troops to circle south, accompanied by the governor's mansion, the Modao camp bought by Xi Jun, and Yemang who led the way. It took half a month to march to Dujun Mountain.

This place has been in peace for a long time, so when Li Ke traveled to a mountain depression in the southeast direction a hundred miles away from Khanting, the direction of Khanting from Dujun Mountain had not received timely news.

It was early summer, and the climate was getting warmer. The inside and outside of Dujun Yu's mountain had already turned green, and the lush green area in the depths of the valley happened to be the best hiding place for the Tang army to march.

After several days of marching, even the elite of the Tang army felt tired, and the left and right were not far from Khan Court, so they had arrived at the place, so Li Ke ordered all the troops to rest in the mountain depression.

"It's a blessing to have you leading the way, otherwise, if we Tang people are the only ones groping here, we don't know how long it will take to find this place, and how much time will be delayed." Li Ke looked down at the map, and then looked up at the col. , sighed to Ye Mang who was leading the way beside him.

Ye Mang said: "Your Highness is serious, I just tried my best. The map in His Highness's hands is very detailed, even Xue Yantuo Hanting's is incomparable. His Highness has such a detailed map. Presumably there are people under his command who are familiar with Mo Beibei. How can it be difficult to lead the way."

The map in Li Ke's hand was presented by Zhao Deyan, which marked the mountains and rivers in Mobei in great detail. The relationship between Zhao Deyan and Li Ke is a top secret. Few people under Li Ke's command knew about it, and Ye Mang naturally didn't know the map in Li Ke's hand. Therefore, there is this saying.

Li Ke didn't want others to know about Zhao Deyan's affairs, so he stopped talking about the map, but asked, "In your opinion, how far is it from here to Hanting?"

Ye Mang glanced at the map, and replied: "After passing this mountain, there is a grassland in front, and it will take about one more day to reach Khan Court."

"It's more than a day's journey." Li Ke looked at the map in his hand, trying to figure out the time.

After a while, Li Ke told Su Dingfang: "Dingfang, this place is very close to Khan's court. Pass down the order, and the whole army will set up camp on the spot, rest first, and then go on the road after dark."

This place is only more than a day away from the Khan Court, and gradually began to be crowded. If the army set out during the day, it would be easy for people to notice, so Li Ke ordered to rest in the mountain depression here, and then go on the road after dark .

"No." Su Dingfang responded, and went down to order the three armies to set up camp.

------------

In May, when the Dujun Mountain in Mobei gradually warmed up and became warmer, it was already summer time in Taiyuan, thousands of miles away in Hedong.

The early summer has passed, and the midsummer is approaching. Although Taiyuan cannot be said to be scorching hot at this time, the heat waves in the countryside are much more intense than usual.

Jinyang City, Bingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was first built in the Northern Zhou Dynasty by Yu Wenchun, the ninth son of Yu Wentai, who was the governor of Bingzhou at that time. It also has a bit of history.

In front of the inner courtyard of the Metropolitan Governor’s Mansion, there is a white pagoda tree planted since the establishment of the mansion. This pagoda tree is about a hundred years old. In midsummer, the branches and leaves of this pagoda tree are luxuriant. With arms open, a dark green umbrella was erected in front of the house to cover one side.

Under this locust tree is a good place to enjoy the shade. At this time of the year, the front hall breeze comes slowly, carrying the water vapor from the pond, and gently blows on the cheeks, bringing a burst of coolness.

"What's the matter with the plums today? Why is it not as sour as before, and has a shorter taste, did the woman who went out to buy it make a mistake?" Chu Wangfei Wu Meiniang lay sideways on the wicker chair under the locust tree. , lightly took a bite of the plum in his hand, and felt that the taste was not right, so he frowned and said to Jin Er beside him.

When Jin'er heard this, she didn't think much about it at first, she just wondered: "The lady we bought was brought from the palace in Beijing. She has always acted safely and is trustworthy, and there are very few things wrong. The little lady ordered what she wanted, how dare she buy the wrong thing."

There are a large number of people in Chu Palace, and the amount of daily purchases is also huge. Occasionally, people in the palace make some mistakes, but Wu Meiniang is different from ordinary people. Everything Wu Meiniang needs is brought by them from the palace in Beijing. What you buy, what you buy must be carefully selected, and there is absolutely no reason to buy it wrong.

As Jin'er said that, feeling strange, she also walked up to Wu Meiniang, picked up a plum from the fruit plate, and slowly bit it down.

"Squeak."

Wu Meiniang ordered to eat sour plums, so the people in the mansion specially bought the harder ones, the plums are extremely crispy, with a crunchy sound after one bite, the full juice dripped into Jin'er's mouth.

Sour, this is all Jin'er feels for a moment, an extremely sour taste gushes out, filling Jin'er's mouth.

Jin'er asked: "This plum is so sour that it almost knocks your teeth down, why does my little lady feel that it is not sour anymore?"

Wu Meiniang looked at Jin'er's appearance, her brows were tightly knit together, it seemed that she was really sour.

Wu Meiniang said sadly: "Maybe it's because it's hot today, I don't have a good appetite, I can't taste the taste."

Jin'er looked at Wu Meiniang's appearance, and said worriedly: "Since Alang's Northern Expedition, my lady's appetite has not been as good as before. Not only did she eat less, but her spirit is not as good as before. Although Alang is not here, my lady is worried about Alang's safety, but my lady Take care of yourself too."

Wu Meiniang heard Jin'er mentioning Li Ke, so she said: "I just received Sanlang's letter yesterday. Junji Mountain has won a great victory. Sanlang has already raised his troops to go to Lushan. Listen to the meaning of Sanlang's letter. If there is no accident, I am afraid that the army will be defeated in September." It will be a triumphant return before winter, and it will come soon.”

The more Wu Meiniang said that, Jin'er became more and more worried. Jin'er said: "Ah Lang is accompanied by thousands of troops, and General Xi and General Xue are invincible generals in the world. Naturally, they are safe and sound. My little lady still needs to go to the hospital to save her." Take care of your body, lest you lose weight, when Alang comes back, I'm afraid he will blame the people in the mansion."

Seeing this, Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? I'm protecting you, so I can't blame you."

Jin'er saw that Wu Meiniang didn't seem to take her words to heart, she became more and more anxious, and hurriedly said: "The servant girl is not worried about His Highness's punishment, but about my body, since the beginning of summer, my lady's appetite has grown. Not as good as before, how can it go on like this?"

Wu Meiniang said: "It's okay, maybe it's because of the hot weather, it will be better after a few days to cool down."

Jin'er thought for a while, then took out a delicate cloth bag from her sleeve, and said to Wu Meiniang: "My little lady likes to eat sweet and sour things most on weekdays, since eating sour plums is tasteless, let's eat some sweets. It's a candied fruit that I sent someone from Beijing, maybe my lady will have a good appetite after eating it."

As Jin'er said, she slowly unfolded the cloth bag and placed it by Wu Meiniang's hand.

Seeing this, Wu Meiniang couldn't refuse Jin'er's good intentions, so she picked the smallest piece of candied fruit in the cloth bag and put it in her mouth, but before the candied fruit entered, Wu Meiniang asked about the sweet and greasy taste of the candied fruit, and her heart paused. Feeling nauseous for a while, I retched unconsciously.
