Chapter 384 The Mountain Is Bored

The army was about to arrive at Naxi County, Luzhou, and it was only two days away; it started to rain lightly in the sky.Zhu Gaoxu ordered camping inside and outside a small town called Jiangmenji, waiting for the rain to stop.

There is no wind in the air, the drizzle is drizzling, and it looks like rain and fog from a distance, but it is like plum rain.

The climate in Sichuan is indeed different from that in Peking and Yunnan. It is still in October. If it is in Beijing, it will rarely rain, and it will be even harder to see such drizzle.

The road gradually became muddy, and Zhu Gaoxu's boots and calves were covered with mud, and even mud spots were on his back, as if they were splashing on his body while walking.

The soldiers in the army requisitioned a tiled house as the headquarters of the central army.

Zhu Gaoxu and others walked into this small town that had been occupied by the army and saw moss growing on the stone slabs on the side of the road, and the streets and alleys in the rain seemed quiet and simple.

Zhu Gaoxu looked up and could see the mountain that was neither high nor low. It is said that the one you can see now is called Jiuding Mountain.

However, the arrival of the army immediately injected a lively atmosphere into the market.The horses are neighing and the people are noisy, and the sound of neat footsteps on the road is also very noisy.

The temperature in Sichuan is not low in early winter. Even if it rains, it is probably nearly ten degrees, and it will not freeze at night.

But as long as a person sits down and doesn't move, he feels biting and cold.

Zhu Gaoxu asked the locals how to live in winter, and they replied that as long as they keep working, they will sweat!

This light rain lasted for three days and there was no sign of stopping.There was no fierce wind, rain, lightning, and thunder, but it was quite lingering, endlessly endless.

Zhu Gaoxu wanted to order to trek to Naxi County in the mud in the rain, after all, it was only two days away; but even if they arrived in Naxi County, they could not cross the river for the time being, so he gave up.

The soldiers traveled for more than a month and took a few days off.

Zhu Gaoxu stood on the eaves outside the tile house and looked up at the distance.At the end of the hazy rain, winter is still green mountains, just within sight.

The generals had not come here today. Under the surrounding roofs, there were three or five people together with some personal guards on duty.

Miaojin's voice said: I asked someone to bring the stove to the main hall and boil water to make tea for King Han.If you get cold, sit next to the stove.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at her, and Miao Jin's gaze immediately avoided.

That day, Zhu Gaoxu saw the people in the market and asked casually how to spend winter.At this time, Miaojin thought he was afraid of the cold, so she mentioned the stove?

At this moment, Miaojin asked softly again: I haven’t asked you yet, how many wives and concubines are there in the palace, why did you take me to join the army alone?

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't answer. He thought too much about his mind every day, and not everything had a reason.

But at this moment, he thought of the stove, and immediately had a speech and replied: I can know more about you.

Miao Jin's voice was a little bit complaining or coquettish. After so long, the King of Han still didn't know me?

Zhu Gaoxu said: Whether in Peking or in the capital, you and I are always experiencing some ups and downs.But perhaps, only by living together day and night can you truly understand someone?

Miao Jin didn't say anything anymore, as if thinking about Zhu Gaoxu's statement.

Zhu Gaoxu's thoughts immediately became uncontrollable and moved to military information, including various news, military rations maintenance, etc.

But when he spoke again, he did not mention the situation in front of him. He only pointed to Jiuding Mountain in the distance and said: The mountain blocked the view. As soon as he went out, he could see the mountain, and he could not see anything else.

After a while, he continued: But even if he crossed Jiuding Mountain, it would be the same.This kind of place has hilly terrain, passing through a big mountain and a small hill, making the view difficult to broaden.

Miao Jin nodded slightly, but did not speak up. I guess she didn't rush to speak before she understood what Zhu Gaoxu wanted to say.

Zhu Gaoxu also said: There is a kind of heart disease called claustrophobia, and staying in a closed place will be very scared.I don't feel this way, but seeing the mountains always makes me feel comfortable.

When Miao Jin heard this, she looked up at Jiuding Mountain and silently looked at Zhu Gaoxu's face.

Sometimes people’s language may not be able to understand, but others can guess through expressions and physical body. This is also the reason why the Han and natives cannot communicate with each other when they interact with each other, but they can barely communicate information?

Zhu Gaoxu didn't know how to express his thoughts accurately, anyway, he was in a very unhappy now.Because of all kinds of things, it is not just a mountain that blocks the view...

In the past, he was born in a rural area in the hilly areas of the mainland. In the 1980s and 1990s, his hometown was the same as in ancient times, such as ox plowing, shoulder carrying, dirt roads, and grass tiled houses.

But he knew there were cars, planes, and high-rise buildings outside.

Therefore, he has always had a bad feeling about being in the mountains and has an indescribable persistence towards the sea, probably because the coastal areas are rich first.

But when he stood on the hillside and looked at it, there were mountains besides mountains.

You can't see anything, you can only rely on hearing, guessing, and imagination.

Miao Jin's voice broke his trance, and the King of Han would definitely be able to overcome the difficulties.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head slightly, and his thoughts were probably guessed by Miao Jin.

Well... Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly and made a habitual sound.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu was indeed very upset, and he even began to question the strategy he had decided was wrong!

He took so many people to cross mountains and ridges and trek through hard for more than a month, but he almost didn't fight a single battle, except for the mountains!

Today, we are advancing and retreating, with many obstacles ahead, and the enemy is still thousands of mountains away, and we don’t know what the direction will be.

The areas on the south bank of the Sichuan Provincial Administration and the Sichuan Provincial Administration are mostly mountainous areas and hills, with not rich people and limited population.

Zhu Gaoxu and other two 70,000 troops were cut off, and although the food route was still maintained, there will definitely be problems with the requisition of military rations over time.

If the main force entering Sichuan cannot make any breakthroughs, the situation will be very embarrassing... Shengyong and Ping'an in the south only have more than 20,000 regular troops, and Gu Cheng from Guizhou is ready to move; Zhang Fu may have been mobilized from both sides.

The Mu Sheng army in the west is still weak, but now it is very difficult for the two armies to communicate with each other through the mountains and steep mountains.

For many days, Zhu Gaoxu has never dared to show any slight wavering in front of the soldiers.

But he is inevitably shaken in his heart. Sometimes people can't help but think about things in a bad way. The more they care about things, the more they will be like this.

He even thought for a long time whether he should change his strategy so as to get out of this situation.

However, it was useless. Everyone had already discussed it in Kunming before. How easy is it to change temporarily now?

Zhu Gaoxu's face must be very ugly at this time. I don't know how long it took, but when he turned to look at Miao Jin, he saw that the light in Miao Jin's beautiful eyes was also caressing his face.

Even if the pair of beautiful almond eyes are not decorated, they are very beautiful.

She was wearing a Taoist robe, but she couldn't hide her beauty. The outline of her hips was slightly wider than her shoulders, but her waist was graceful and soft.

Such a stunning beauty came from a scholarly family. The late emperor wanted to be a concubine but she was unwilling to do so, but she was willing to follow Zhu Gaoxu to travel in this mountain nest.

Miaojin said in Taoyuan, Wushan that what moved women the most was not your glory and wealth.

Zhu Gaoxu felt that she might be the truth, but he made another interpretation... If he only had wealth and honor, he would definitely not be able to move some women who were not short of wealth, but it would definitely not work without it.

After all, his experience in his previous life told him that the white, rich and beautiful woman was just a delusion.

Zhu Gaoxu cared about living in the palace, being frugal and well-behaved, being respected and moved by beauty.

There are also family members and all the people I know around me, and their lives are all on this!

Zhu Gaoxu did not admit this war, but he understood in his heart that it was for personal gain!And what he cares most about is selfishness and people that can be seen by his eyes.

All this is hard to come by.What's more, I had agreed at the beginning that I must take revenge and resist their slander against me.Zhu Gaoxu murmured, I think I can think of a way.

After a while, he said: The water situation in the upper reaches of the river is complicated, and it may not be easy for Xue Lu to block the river with a decree. There must be somewhere to cross the river, sure!

The moment Miao Jin faced his eyebrows and eyes, he nodded seriously, and his eyes seemed to be encouraging him.

At this moment, Wei Da, Liu Ying and Hou Hai walked into the courtyard, and they also brought a messenger.

After a few people met, the messenger submitted Qu Neng's personal report.

For more than a month, Zhu Gaoxu and Qu Neng communicated through letters and had already become familiar with Qu Neng's handwriting.

Zhu Gaoxu opened the letter and took a look.

Qu Neng wrote that since the Song Dynasty, people have called the upper reaches of the river the Jinsha River.

The Jinsha River is narrower, with rapid water flow in many places, while the water flows in more curves is slower.

At the end, the generals cut wood and boats on the banks of the Yongning River, while they had already divided their troops to capture Yibin County and looked for a ferry in the Jinsha River section.

Because there are official warships on the Tuojiang River, our troops have smaller new ships, and may not be able to make profits from water battles. If the Tuojiang government navy goes upstream to the Jinsha River, it will be quite difficult and time-consuming, so our troops can take the opportunity to cross the river.

After reading the letter, Zhu Gaoxu looked back and pretended to be calm: General Qu has a way to cross the river, so you can take a look.

After saying that, he handed the letter to the several passers-by around him.

...The next day, it was sunny after the rain.Inside and outside the small Jiangmen Town, the military camps and on the main roads became even more lively and noisy.Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse and walked around everywhere, shouting loudly to the soldiers from time to time.

Xue Lu, a slut, was not worthy of carrying shoes to this king. He was so anxious that he burned the ship and wanted to use the river to block this king.This king will lead his brothers across the river and defeat the villain Xue Lu!

This battle will definitely be won!To let the whole world see that the Han Wangjun was the most capable elite in the Ming Dynasty.Only the King of Han is his own person.

Countless soldiers cheered and after more than a month of difficult walking, the brothers still maintained this morale.Zhu Gaoxu felt that he still underestimated the soldiers' tolerance!
