Chapter 1226 Hailanduo

The next day, after a good rest, Yun Zheng took Miaoyin and Jiayao to check on the condition of the Danshui.

There is a small path here that leads to the vicinity of Danshui.

However, to see the Dan River, one must abandon the horse and reach the top of a mountain.

Yun Zheng only brought two hundred cavalrymen and headed for the mountain under the leadership of scouts.

After reaching the foot of the mountain, they left a small number of men to guard the horses and headed quickly up the mountain.

After a rough journey, they finally reached the top of the mountain.

Standing here, you can see the Dan water with your naked eyes.

Before Yun Zheng could reach out his hand, Shen Kuan handed him the Clairvoyance.

Yun Zheng took the clairvoyance and began to observe.

Soon, Yun Zheng locked onto the Dan water.

Through the clairvoyance, we can see some fishing boats cruising on the Dan River. They should be fishermen from the Zhenhe or Li Dynasty fishing in the Dan River.

Looking forward along the Dan River, you will soon see the Li Dynasty Wharf on the opposite bank.

The pier is not very big, and some fishing villages can be seen around it.

If you keep looking forward along the pier, you can see Juncheng directly.

There are mountains on both sides of Juncheng, and Juncheng is located in the valley formed by the mountains on both sides.

At this time, the ice and snow have melted, and some green can be seen on the mountain.

After a while, the mountains will be greener.

By then, even if there are 10,000 or 20,000 people hiding in the mountains, it would probably be difficult to see them.

"This place is indeed difficult to fight..."

Yun Zheng frowned slightly and handed the Clairvoyance to Miaoyin.

"It's definitely not easy to fight!"

Jia Yao took over the conversation, "When I came with General Yu to check out the terrain of Juncheng, I also said that this Juncheng has the momentum of one man blocking the pass and ten thousand men unable to break through."

"If we don't consider using explosives to blow open the city gate, as long as the enemy is holding out, even if we have ten times the enemy's force, we may not be able to capture the city..."

Jia Yao was already familiar with the terrain around Juncheng.

Juncheng's location is great!

Although Juncheng is not as dangerous as Daqian’s Beilu Pass, it is not much worse.

There was a reason why the Le Dynasty only placed such a small number of troops in Juncheng.

If the Le Dynasty was cautious enough and did a good enough job of reconnaissance, in fact, even if they left 3,000 men here, their 50,000 troops might not be able to capture the city even if they wanted to storm it.

Yun Zheng smiled, "In fact, this is also an advantage for us!"

"Sure!"

Jia Yao smiled and said, "As long as we can capture Juncheng, we can defend it with only a few people! In this way, the army behind us will have enough time to build a pontoon bridge to transport soldiers and food..."

Juncheng is in the hands of water, and the advantage lies in whoever holds it.

"How wide is the river where the pontoon bridge was built?"

At this time, Miaoyin put down her clairvoyance and asked Jiayao.

"It should be no more than a hundred feet! No one has measured it exactly."

Jia Yao replied: "The current there is not too fast, so it should be no problem to build a pontoon bridge! There is a place with a gentler current a little further downstream, but the water surface is also wider, so the distance to build a pontoon bridge is too long..."

As she spoke, Jia Yao took the clairvoyance from Miaoyin's hand, glanced around, and then pointed out the approximate directions of the two locations she mentioned to Yun Zheng.

Next, they started discussing on the top of the mountain.

However, after much discussion, there was really no other solution except building a pontoon bridge.

But before building the pontoon bridge, it is necessary to capture Juncheng.

Or, send people to the other side to defend it.

But defending to the death is not very safe.

If the enemy ran upstream through a path they didn't know about and set fire to the ships, the defenders might not be able to detect it.

The safest way is to capture Juncheng.

Seeing that it was getting late, they hurried down the mountain.

By the time they returned to the camp, it was completely dark.

"Your Highness, the Zhenhe leader Hesheli has arrived with his daughter Hailanduo."

As soon as they entered the camp, Pang Jinjiu came to report.

Listening to Pang Jinjiu's words, Jia Yao and Miao Yin looked at Yun Zheng at the same time with a smile on their faces.

Not only them, even Pang Jinjiu was holding back his laughter.

"What are you looking at me doing?"

Yun Zheng's body trembled, "You just can't stand others taking care of your daughter, right?"

What kind of people are they!

It wasn't me who asked Hesheli to bring his daughter here.

"This man, it's really good to have power and influence!"

Miaoyin said with a smile on her face, "Before there was Gongda Zan, now there is Heshelie, I wonder how many people would like to give their daughters to warm your bed!"

Hesheli brought his daughter with him, even a fool would know what that meant!

Isn't it just to gain more benefits by marrying your daughter to Yun Zheng?

Jia Yao nodded in agreement, and urged Yun Zheng to take him to see Hesheli.

They also wanted to see what this Hailanduo looked like.

Yun Zheng looked at the two of them speechlessly.

So, they are more active than me?

"Okay, bring them to the big tent!"

Yun Zheng told Pang Jinjiu, "It just so happens that we haven't eaten yet. Let them eat something together! You should eat something too!"

"Yes!"

Pang Jinjiu accepted the order.

As soon as they sat down in the big tent, Pang Jinjiu came in with Hesheli and Hailanduo.

It can be seen that Hailanduo has dressed up deliberately.

The clothes that Hailanduo is wearing are probably the most high-end clothes in Zhenhe.

"Greetings to King Jingbei, Madam Jiayao, and Madam Miaoyin..."

As soon as the father and daughter came in, they bowed deeply to the three people.

"No gift!"

Yun Zheng raised his hand slightly, "Sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The father and daughter stood up and sat down carefully.

Yun Zheng raised his eyes and looked at Hailanduo, nodding secretly in his heart.

Well, she's quite pretty.

No wonder Hesheli wanted to bring her to see him.

However, he dared to say with a clear conscience that he had no thoughts about Hailanduo.

If Hesheli was willing, he could select a few generals from his subordinates to go on a blind date with Hailanduo.

At this time, Pang Jinjiu also had food brought over.

Yun Zheng invited Pang Jinjiu to sit down with him, and then said to Heshelie: "Alcohol is not allowed in my army. Today, we will use tea instead of wine. When I celebrate the victory of all the soldiers, I will definitely drink with the chieftain!"

"Yes Yes!"

Heshilie nodded flatteringly, and introduced Yun Zheng: "Your Highness, this is my little daughter Hailanduo. Hailanduo has admired you for a long time. You summoned me here, and she insisted on coming with you. Please forgive me..."

I admire you, sir!

Yun Zheng secretly laughed in his heart, and nodded and smiled at Hailanduo.

Hailanduo looked at Yun Zheng shyly and smiled charmingly.

Yun Zheng lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "You should be hungry too, let's talk while we eat."

"Yes Yes……"

Hesheli nodded repeatedly.

Hailanduo stood up and took the initiative to pick up the teapot to pour tea for them.

When pouring tea for Yun Zheng, Hailanduo's hand touched Yun Zheng's hand intentionally or unintentionally, and her body bent more. Yun Zheng raised his eyes slightly and could see the spring scenery looming from her neck.

Yun Zheng had a smile on his face, but he was secretly shaking his head in his heart.

This Hailanduo is really good at handling things!

Did she really think that I would bow down before her pomegranates?

Miaoyin and Jiayao smiled at each other and said nothing more.

But they all knew in their hearts that this Hailanduo had no chance...
