The four of them played around for a while, drank up a small pot of milk, then simply washed up and went to sleep.

Although they slept in a small tent, it was the most peaceful night they slept since leaving Beijing.

There are people on patrol, so you don't have to worry about wild beasts and bad guys, which is very reassuring.

Candles were still burning in Su Qiruo's tent, and several generals were still studying the route.

The mountain road is steep and the canyon is narrow, making it difficult to navigate.

But going by this small road can save three days of journey.

The Northern Barbarians have been so arrogant recently that they have to hurry up.

In the end, Rong Yun and Fu Lan led a group of people to take the mountain road, Zhong Xia and Si Qianyan led a group of people to take the canyon, and Su Qiruo led the rest of the people to take the official road.

As long as a team of people can arrive at the border town first, they can resist for a while until reinforcements arrive.

After following Su Qiruo for a day, Si Qianling couldn't help but said: "Sister Aruo, walking like this really delays the journey. Why don't my three brothers and I lead a small group of cavalry to go ahead and clear the way for everyone."

After all, the cavalry is in the minority, so if everyone travels lightly, the journey will be much faster.

Su Qiruo refused without thinking: "No, you just stay with me, otherwise I will order someone to take you back to Beijing."

"Sister Ah Ruo..."

Su Qiruo groaned in grievance, he really wanted to do something for the people of Dongling.

"Although the four of you have some skills, you are still men after all, and you have never been on the battlefield, so you cannot take risks. I asked General Yang to lead the cavalry first. We will arrive in five days at most. There is no rush at this moment. .”

Su Qiruo's voice softened, and she did not tell Si Qianling that most of the cavalry had already gone to the border first.

The fact that he could think of this step shows that he has used his brain.

Si Qianling is still young, and if he practices more, he will only become better in the future.

Si Qianling's dream of being a pioneer was ruthlessly shattered, and he left Su Qiruo in frustration.

Li Xiaomao and the other two people who were waiting saw Si Qianling's expressions and knew that they had not succeeded, and they all felt regretful.

"I looked at the map carefully. Thirty miles north there will be a big river called Feiyun River. It was built by General Feiyun a hundred years ago when he was transporting grain to the people in the north. If we can sit down from Feiyun River If the boat goes north, it can go straight to the outskirts of Yuncheng, and then rush from Yuncheng to Yucheng, saving two days."

Rong Jin pointed at the map on the table and said seriously.

He had pestered his sister to get this map, because he had read a lot of geography since he was a child, and Rong Jin was quite proficient in it.

Li Xiaomao's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "Then let's go talk to His Highness now!"

Mu Jinyan stopped Li Xiaomao who was about to run out, and whispered: "His Highness has many capable people. We know that, and they can naturally think of it. I'm afraid there are other reasons why they don't take this route."

Rong Jin nodded, this is what he thought too.

Si Qianling pondered for a moment before speaking: "There are so many of us, how many boats will be needed to cross the river? I'm afraid Sister Aruo won't be able to raise that many boats."

There is another point that Si Qianling did not mention. Feiyun River is wide and brings in water from the Yangtze River. It has already merged with the Yangtze River.

If you encounter some troubles on the road, you still have a chance to solve them, but if you get into the water, if something goes wrong, your entire army will be wiped out.

Most people will not choose to take the water route without complete preparations.

The army was in such a hurry that there was no time to prepare anything. Even His Highness the Emperor's Grandson was still eating hard dry food! (End of chapter)
