Qingzhou is their most likely route, but why do they want to go to Qingzhou?
Why not go far away instead of near?
It only means that Taihe Pharmacy also has business in Qingzhou area.
Qingzhou is generally richer than Youzhou, but in recent years, Youzhou has been better off than Qingzhou.
In short, they must have their reasons for taking the Qingzhou Road.
Liu is ready to go.
"Three days, then I need to deal with the medicinal materials issue as soon as possible."
Father-in-law Mu Linfeng listened to Liu Feng talking to himself and looked up and asked.
"How do you solve it?"
Liu Feng chuckled, looking like a mountain man with a clever plan.
You know, the entire Youzhou is mountainous, and Youzhou City is a producer of medicinal materials. So, considering all factors, since Taihe Pharmacy has a complete monopoly in Youzhou, the starting point of their transportation must be within Youzhou.
Although Qingzhou's output of medicinal materials is also not small, the terrain of Qingzhou is a landform of mountains and rivers. The river basins are the main grain producing areas, and the mountains are rich in medicinal materials.
In comparison, Youzhou's output is higher than Qingzhou's.
After Liu Feng saw this clearly, he already had a plan in mind.
In this case, we will start from Youzhou and enter Qingzhou.
The only way they have to go is Dasan Pass, so we have to intercept the medicinal materials before they leave Dasan Pass and then take them back.
"Ah. No way, they're asking us to be bandits again, and it's always me."
Liu Feng told Wang Dingliu the plan.
Wang Dingliu had a face full of resentment. He was patrolling properly when Liu Feng stopped him and gave him only one task: to pretend to be a bandit.
Ever since I followed Liu Feng, I thought I could achieve great things. I have pretended to be a bandit several times, but I didn't expect that I would have to do it again now.
"You're not a real bandit."
"Besides, this concerns the survival of the entire Xinhedu."
"Just this once."
Liu Feng coaxed Wang Dingliu with a smile.
It’s not that Wang Dingliu was unwilling to do it, but it was just that this group of people he had trained with great difficulty.
Now they all look like human beings.
If they were allowed to return to their original form, Wang Dingliu was worried that they would cause trouble.
After all, no matter how good it is to follow Liu Feng, it is not as direct and enjoyable as robbery.
"Are you familiar with the situation over at Dasan Pass?"
"I've been there a few times. Before, in order to train their troops, the two brothers of the Linghu family wiped out all the bandits in the surrounding area. There really weren't any bandits left to train with."
"Later, I heard there were bandits at Dasan Pass."
"There were only two hills over there originally. After we wiped them out, I'm afraid there are no bandits left now."
"But Dasan Pass is different from other places. As the gateway to Qingzhou, it has a permanent garrison of 30,000 troops, all of whom are elite."
Wang Dingliu was a little worried.
Tianyong City is easy to bully because the Linghu family has been continuously suppressed by the old emperor in recent years and has lost most of their military power.
But Dasan Pass is different. As the gateway to Qingzhou, it is stationed with a large number of generals who are trusted by the emperor. There are also local soldiers farming inside the pass.
The total number of people is no less than 50,000, and including the civilians, the scale of the area inside the pass is much larger than Tianyong City.
Why are there no bandits around? Faced with such a majestic fortress, which bandit would dare to stay here for a long time?
Before, they had only suppressed small-scale bandits hiding in the mountains.
"Go find Lin Xiaoxi first, and then take Chen Buyi with you."
"This time we'll use the soldiers from the village. They've been with us for a long time, so they're more united and can keep secrets more easily."
"Not too many, two hundred armed men would be enough."
"There's no time to lose. Go get ready with Lin Xiaoxi and leave this afternoon."
After Liu Feng finished his instructions, he went to find the two brothers of the Linghu family.
These two are familiar with the situation over there. Of course, bringing them along is the best solution, but as fourth-rank generals, bringing them along would be too conspicuous.
He was not clear about the deployment of troops at Dasan Pass. How could there be so many troops? Why didn't they send troops to support when the Northern Barbarians were about to attack them?
Arrived at the training ground.
Hundreds of soldiers are training with wooden sticks.
The two men's training was quite strict. The wooden sticks they used were specially made and heavy, which was used to train their arms' fatigue resistance.
Using a wooden stick during training is a helpless move, mainly because it does not consume iron and there is no shortage of wood in the nearby mountains.
Moreover, soldiers trained in this way can use spears more easily and coordinate with the formation more tacitly.
Liu Feng waved towards Linghu Chongshan.
"Tell me about the situation at Dasan Pass."
Liu Feng asked all the questions in his mind.
As former fourth-rank military generals, they definitely know more about military affairs than others.
"Dasan Pass?"
Linghu Chongshan frowned.
"This pass is the gateway to Qingzhou. The one guarding the city is Qian Mu, the third-rank general of Wuwei. Like the Linghu family, he is a powerful local family."
"However, unlike the Linghu family, the Qian family is a family of surrendered generals. During the war to destroy Wei, they switched sides and gained the trust of the royal family. Their families have been third-rank military generals for generations, and the current Qian Mu is already the third generation."
Liu Feng nodded. He didn't expect that General Qian was an old man from the Wei State.
Although he is far away from the court, he has 50,000 soldiers under his command, which makes him a force that cannot be underestimated.
"I understand. This guy's grandfather surrendered in exchange for the prosperity and wealth of his descendants."
Judging from the terrain of Youzhou and Qingzhou, Youzhou is a border state, facing the northern barbarians, and its strategic position is very important.
