Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

The weather was getting cooler day by day, and it was December in the blink of an eye.

All the grain harvests were very good because the land was fertile and the grain output was abundant due to various fertilization methods.

Everything else was harvested and packed away in October and November, except potatoes and sweet potatoes, which had to wait until December.

The battle reports from outside floated in like snowflakes, one after another, and soon became an unbearable weight.

While Yang Qingbai was leading people to harvest potatoes and sweet potatoes, Wei Qiqi was in the lobby, discussing with Li Yuan how to survive this winter.

Because of the turbulent times, no one had good cloth or good warm clothing. The growers didn’t have any, and even if the buyers had any, the prices were beyond people’s reach.

Before the group had finished their discussion, someone brought news from the foot of the mountain.

"The boss!"

A man ran in hurriedly. He ran so fast that his breathing was particularly heavy, making Wei Qiqi afraid that he might not be able to catch his breath.

"Urgent news from Chenzhou!"

"Chenzhou Governor Lei Hao declared himself king and challenged Yizhou Governor Jiang Shiping, saying that Yizhou Governor had someone assassinate Zhao Zhiyou's son Zhao Zhong in Chenzhou, and he wanted to seek justice for Zhao Zhiyou's deputy."

"Demand Yizhou to open the city gates and surrender, otherwise we will attack Yizhou!"

After the messenger finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

"There is one more thing. I heard from our brother who worked in Lei Hao's house that Lei Hao once said in the house that Jiguanshan is a fortress. After solving Yizhou, he will solve our Jiguanshan."

Then Dai Jiangong shouted, "Bullshit!"

"That bully Zhao Chong from Chenzhou has been dead for a long time, why is he blaming Yizhou? He still wants to destroy us, let him never come back!"

The messenger bowed his head and said, "Our people also said that all the cold-weather supplies and food in the city are now in the hands of Chenzhou Governor Lei Hao, and they can't bring them in at all."

Jiulan's sword-like face sank, and his whole body was filled with murderous aura, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

"They are scheming and plotting, but it is the common people who suffer. It wasn't long after the locust plague in Luozhou that Chenzhou was affected, and a large number of refugees gathered outside the gates of Chenzhou and Yizhou.

If Chenzhou and Yizhou were to go to war, what would happen to the people fleeing famine in between?"

Wei Qiqi looked at Li Yuan, who was the decision maker here.

"Go check whether the situation is true. Make sure to get more detailed information. Also contact the people in Yizhou to see if they can verify it."

The messenger had to give the order.

Jian Feng in the room took out a detailed map and placed it on the table.

Li Yuan and everyone surrounded him.

Li Yuan looked at the locations of Chenzhou and Yizhou. Speaking from a clear conscience, they would naturally send troops to Yizhou, but if they considered all aspects of strength, Chenzhou was definitely the best choice.

"The world is already like this. Jiguan Mountain has been hidden for too long." Li Yuan pointed to the location of Yizhou with his finger.

As soon as these words were spoken, the hundreds of people in the hall looked at each other, and a feeling of excitement gradually rose in everyone's eyes.

They have been living on this mountain for several years, with winter going and spring coming, and they lead the same life every day. The situation outside makes them worried, but they also know that Jiguanshan's strength is not enough.

Now that the boss has said this, he must have a good fight to show people his true strength. It is impossible to fight with real swords and guns in normal drills.

"Give the order to enter the first level of preparation. Except for the logistics and mountain guards, everyone else should be ready to go out to fight."

"Yes!"

The centurions shouted in unison, and their voices echoed in the hall.

"Go down!"

After everyone left, Wei Qiqi looked at Li Yuan and asked him, "Are you sure?"

In response to this question, Li Yuan replied: "Qiniang, you have to believe in the training method you wrote down, and you have to believe that our people are invincible!"

Wei Qiqi forced a smile and then said, "I'll have someone tell the logistics department to prepare food and supplies for you to use in the battle."

Li Yuan nodded and took a step closer to look at Wei Qiqi carefully: "Qiniang, I will return safely."

Wei Qiqi felt a little relieved to hear this unfulfilled promise. She knew that Li Yuan was a man of his word, and if he said he could return safely, he would.

The preparations were made very hastily. Due to the training over the years, when Li Yuan and Wei Qiqi came down the mountain, these people were already waiting for Li Yuan halfway up the mountain. Their neat and energetic state made people look at them sideways.

Wei Qiqi sent Li Yuan to the foot of the mountain. Behind her followed Ye Yuanxin and Gana, who stood behind Wei Qiqi like door gods.

"Take good care of Qi Niang."

Ye Yuanxin nodded, and Nagana didn't say much, addressing Li Yuan in silence.

Li Yuan stepped onto the horse sideways. He went out today wearing a plain black suit with no patterns or accessories.

But after putting on the specially made armor, Li Yuan, who had a calm temperament, became full of murderous aura.

His slightest movement made people feel extremely oppressive.

Li Yuan had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his tall figure sat on the horse. His face was angular, but without the fat, he didn't look that cute anymore.

In addition, the match between the pure black clothes and the shining armor is so perfect that it is heartbreaking.

The first time they left in a hurry, Wei Qiqi couldn't choose anything else for Li Yuan. She made a promise: "I will send you away when there is a war next time."

"Li Yuan, come back safely."

Wei Qiqi basically never called Li Yuan by his real name.

Whenever she called me that, it was usually when she was very angry. But this time was different.

The difference this time made Li Yuan feel relieved. He knew that this was giving him hope, so that he would not give up on himself when he lost consciousness.

Li Yuan nodded, looked at Wei Qiqi deeply, and then rode away.

He was followed by Dai Jiangong, Jiu Lan and other centurions, and set out in a mighty procession with more than 1,700 people.

More than 1,400 people were dispatched at the same time. This was the most spectacular sight Wei Qiqi had ever seen. She knew that once Li Yuan took his men away today, the team he led would become larger and larger as long as he was not dead.

December of the 42nd year of Tianqi.

Li Yuan led people to aid Yizhou, trying to change the situation in Jiguanshan and the three states from Lei Hao's dominance to each state fighting hard.

Li Yuan and his men did not go directly to aid Yizhou, but instead went around and behind the Chenzhou team that set out to attack Yizhou.

Countless people and supplies meandered between the two states.

Li Yuan led his men and waited until the team went further and further away, and the team behind had some gap with the front.

He led his men to take action.

With lightning speed, they quickly intercepted the first batch of supplies sent from the rear.

The brothers on Jiguan Mountain who succeeded that day were completely excited.

Excited that they succeeded so easily.

Excited that they are so strong.
