The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

Hua Hua Hua...

The surging Jinsha River was turbulent, with waves crashing against the shore and rolling up thousands of water splashes. The entire Jinsha River flowed downstream all the way to Nanjun.

After leaving Minghua Pass, Zhao Mu, Ye Feng and three others went straight to Jinsha River. Not far away on the other side of the river stood a city.

"Your Majesty, that city is Jiantong City, the second line of defense set up by my father. The garrison commander is Luo Mingda, a fifth-rank junior master, and there are 50,000 permanent troops stationed there."

"The city on the left is called Yuling City. The garrison commander is Zhou Erda, whose cultivation is at the peak of the fourth-grade junior master, and the permanent army is also 50,000."

"On both sides of Jiantong City and Yuling City, there are two counties, Longkang County and Tianchang County. They guard the two cities on the left and right. In addition to the natural barrier of Jinsha River, it is really difficult to attack the city."

Zhao Mu pointed to the opposite side of the Jinsha River, where Jiantong City and Yuling City stood. The traces of the two counties could be vaguely seen, intersecting with each other to form an encirclement.

No matter which city your siege soldiers want to attack, the other three places can send troops to support them and surround you in the middle. You will be attacked from both sides and will surely be defeated.

Ye Feng looked at the rushing Jinsha River and went upstream along the river bank. He wanted to see the geographical location and topography of the Jinsha River.

"Your Excellency, if we want to attack the two cities and two counties, I'm afraid we can only take a detour and attack from another direction of Nanyu County, and then attack from within Nanyu County."

Zhao Mu followed behind Ye Feng. He had followed Zhao Pengju for so many years and was very familiar with the defensive fortifications of the two cities and two counties. With the limited military force they had, if they wanted to fight head-on, even if they took the two cities and two counties, there would be heavy casualties in the end.

"The cost of taking a detour is too high. If we can't capture two cities and two counties, I'm afraid it will take us at least three months to get through it."

Ye Feng knew very well that even if he really took a detour in the end, with an army of more than 100,000 people, exhausted and tired, it would only be more difficult to attack Nanyu County.

"That's true."

Zhao Mu nodded and continued to take Ye Feng upstream to investigate the situation of the Jinsha River and the two cities and two counties, hoping that Ye Feng could think of a solution.

Going upstream along the Jinsha River, Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. Deafening sounds of water rang in his ears, and the entire ground was shaking.

Then I saw a huge stream of water rushing in between the two mountains dozens of feet away, and the water rushed into the Jinsha River.

Ye Feng quickly came to the place where the water flowed and found that the terrain here was much higher than that of the two cities and two counties. However, the water of the Jinsha River was flowing very violently.

"Is there any way to sneak into the two cities and two counties?" Ye Feng walked and looked at Zhao Mu not far away. He wanted to go into the two cities and two counties to see the actual situation.

"It's almost impossible to sneak into Jiantong City and Yuling City. But Longkang County and Tianchang County shouldn't be too difficult."

Zhao Mu hesitated for a moment. Jiantong City and Yuling City must be in a state of panic and heavily guarded. If he wanted to sneak in, he would be discovered if he was not careful.

However, although there are soldiers stationed in Longkang County and Tianchang County, the management is relatively relaxed, so it shouldn't be a big problem if you can find a way to sneak in.

"Then let's go to Longkang County first."

Ye Feng nodded slightly and did not make things difficult for Zhao Mu. Since the two counties were more convenient, he decided to go to the two counties to take a look.

Zhao Mu took Ye Feng and three others, bypassed the Jinsha River, and came to the top of the mountain in front of them. They saw that it was full of jungle and there was no road at all.

"If we want to go to Longkang County, we can only go through this forest and slowly go around to the edge of Longkang County, and then go into Longkang County."

Zhao Mu walked in front, holding a sword in his hand, and used his spiritual power and cultivation to cut off the weeds and thorns that blocked the road.

It was not until sunset that a few people came out of the jungle and came to a small village. After asking around, they learned that this was a village in Longkang County, about eighty miles away from Longkang County. They were afraid that they would have to wait until late at night before they could reach Longkang County.

Ye Feng couldn't help shaking his head and had to sigh that the second line of defense set up by Zhao Pengju in Nanyu County, the two cities and two counties, did have something special.

The group of five hurried and finally arrived at Longkang County before midnight, but found that the city gate was closed and there were many soldiers standing on it, all ready for battle.

"Who are you outside the city and why are you coming to Longkang County so late at night?" Just as they arrived outside the city gate, they heard shouting from the city wall.

The sounds of footsteps were heard one after another, and many arrows were shot out from the city wall. As long as Ye Feng and the other five dared to make any unusual movements, the archers on the city wall would surely show no mercy.

"We are ordinary people from Dashi Village. We came to Longkang County to do some business. We encountered something on the way and were delayed, causing us to miss the time to enter the city. Could you please be kind and open the city gate? Otherwise, the four of us will have to sleep in the wilderness." Zhao Mu said while standing in front.

"No matter where you are from, get out of here as soon as possible. Nanyu County is in turmoil recently. Go back quickly!" said the soldier on the city wall impatiently.

Zhao Mu looked at Ye Feng and saw that the latter nodded slightly. He could only turn around and walk out of Longkang County.

The five people did not continue to look for a place to stay. They just found a place outside Longkang County, ate some dry food, and closed their eyes to rest.

……

early morning.

Ye Feng and five others successfully sneaked into Longkang County.

On the streets of Longkang County, pairs of soldiers are constantly patrolling.

After a tour around Longkang County, Ye Feng and the others learned that the city gates of Longkang County were only open for four hours a day. They did not stay any longer and headed out of Longkang County.

Ye Feng went around Tianchang County again before arriving at the edge of the Jinsha River. He rented a boat and did not continue through the forest where Zhao Mu had led the way. Instead, he rowed slowly across the Jinsha River.

As soon as we arrived at the central army camp at Minghua Pass, we saw Madam Xinling approaching us quickly and saying, "You are finally back. There is a man named Luo Tong who said he could find a way to help us break through the second line of defense set up by Zhao Pengju."

"Luo Tong?"

Zhao Mu was a little surprised. He had heard of Luo Tong. This man was quite capable, but it was a pity that he was not favored by his father for many years, so he chose to follow Zhao Hui to govern Yun'an City.

"Do you know this Luo Tong?"

Seeing Zhao Mu's expression, Ye Feng asked.

"Luo Tong used to be my father's staff, but later he offended my father and chose to follow my sixteenth brother Zhao Hui to govern Yun'an City. He is quite capable."

Zhao Mu did not hide anything and reported to Ye Feng.
