Chapter 229 Waiting



Liu Feng looked at the situation in front of him and made a decision.

It's getting dark.

Setting up camp here is the best option.

Liu Feng was also speechless. What kind of place is this? With roads like this, let alone a large-scale military march.

It's just that there are too many people coming and going.

Looking at this road, I finally understood.

The emperor was not worried at all that the Qian family would take action against Youzhou.

If the Qian family wanted to attack Youzhou, given the terrain, they only needed to send out two teams of archers, standing on the sides and shooting arrows alternately.

The troops on this road could neither advance nor retreat, and were completely sitting ducks.

No matter how many people come here, they will be ruined on this path.

Anyone with a brain would not attack Youzhou from this route.

In other words, at the beginning, the State of Wei had no idea that a natural barrier like Dasan Pass would surrender, and another army had already attacked Yanzhou.

In addition, the rear was empty, so it was possible for the army of Dali to break through. Otherwise, with such a natural barrier, it would be impossible for one man to block the way for ten thousand.

The Qian family wanted to attack Youzhou. The army there had just set out, and the ambush here had already been set up.

This road is a complete natural barrier, and it is difficult for people to walk on such a road. So how does Taihe Pharmacy transport medicinal materials?

A carriage can't go this way.

Of course, there is a way, a wheelbarrow, or a smaller donkey.

The main purpose of taking this route is to collect medicinal materials from Qingzhou.

In other words, the amount of medicinal materials obtained from Youzhou was far from enough to meet their needs.

Of course, this route can also be used to transport medicinal materials by manpower or using backpacks.

After arriving at Dasan Pass, we will gather and set off.

If this is true, then there will be a medicinal material collection point at Dasan Pass.

It is equivalent to the existence of a cargo station.

No words were spoken that night.

Early the next morning, Liu Feng led everyone to disperse and slowly line up to pass through.

This mountain road is very long, and there is a cliff thousands of feet high at the foot. Liu Feng had walked many rugged mountain roads when he was carrying out missions in his previous life, and climbing cliffs with his bare hands was normal.

Therefore, these mountain roads are no problem for Liu Feng.

However, most of the soldiers had sweat on their foreheads after walking this distance.

I was almost scared to death.

Even veterans like Wang Dingliu and Lin Xiaoxi were frightened.

His face turned pale and he was very cautious.

"Village chief, the winding mountain road is ahead."

"How far is it from here to Dasan Pass?"

Liu Feng asked back.

"It's at least twenty miles away."

Wang Dingliu had never been to Dasan Pass, so at this time he was just making a rough estimate based on his own ideas.

"Pass the word down. This place is open, so let's repair it again first."

After everyone squatted down to rest, Liu Feng continued to ask.

"What's the situation with the spies? Have you found out the time they left Youzhou City?"

Wang Dingliu nodded.

"Don't worry, Village Chief. The troops I sent out are all elite. We will definitely have news today."

"And after you asked me to pay attention, I inquired at the surrounding post stations. They usually transport goods once a month."

"Basically, they are on the last few days of each month, with no more than three days between them."

"But a few days ago, our spies reported that they hadn't been transporting medicinal herbs in the past few months due to heavy snow, so the quantity this time must be huge."

"And they will definitely take this route. For the medicinal materials business, there has been no shipment for two months, and time is too tight. They will definitely rush from here."

"Okay, tell me immediately if you have any news."

Liu Feng nodded and asked people to find a place to stay overnight in the mountains.

We have already reached Dasan Pass. If we don't have a cave or something to hide in, we will definitely be discovered by the defenders of Dasan Pass.

Moreover, spending the night is a big problem. Last night, they almost all slept around the campfire, but here we light a fire directly on the open ground, which clearly tells the defenders of Dasan Pass that we are here.

So having a cave or something like that seems very urgent.

"Lin Xiaoxi, quickly find a cave."

"If tonight is the same as last night, the brothers won't be able to handle it."

Lin Xiaoxi led people to search around and found a cave, but it was too small and they were worried about it.

"You, why don't you think about it? Try this stone wall."

"This is just sandstone, nothing special."

Lin Xiaoxi was confused.

"You idiot! Sandstone is loose and easy to dig. Tell the brothers to dig faster. In an hour, we can expand it to accommodate so many of us."

"Also, although the sandstone is loose, caves like this are very solid, and more importantly, they retain heat."

"If it were a new era thousands of years from now, staying in a cave like this for one night would be quite a expense."

Lin Xiaoxi didn't understand.

How is it possible that living in a cave requires so much silver?

The village chief must be making fun of her.

Lin Xiaoxi followed Liu Feng's instructions and expanded the cave to be large enough for 300 people in less than an hour.

There were several bonfires in the middle, and everyone was gathered around them. In the pot was steaming rice porridge and diced meat that Liu Feng had specially prepared for the march.

These minced meats are made from the meat of wild boars and other prey that has been chopped and dried.

Adding it to rice porridge not only stimulates appetite but also makes it sweet.

More importantly, these things can keep you from getting hungry.

"Village chief, the spy is back."

"He said he's already set out from Youzhou City, and it should take two days to get here."
