Xichang has a stronghold near Yanmen Pass and has developed some spies among the barbarians.

However, as heavy snow fell, the barbarians moved south into the pass, and the information on the grassland was cut off.

The news about ulterior motives is even more difficult to find out.

The empress asked if there was any news about Guixian. Long Chen shook his head slightly and said, "The snow here is too heavy, and the people who were released dare not go too far, so there is no way to find out about Guixian."

The northern border is vast, who knows where the ghost ulterior motives have gone?

In addition, it is snowing heavily, so it is difficult to walk around, let alone in inquiries about information.

If the person who goes out to inquire about the news goes too far, if he encounters the ghost clan, he will die; even if he does not meet the ghost clan, he will easily get lost and freeze to death in the wind and snow.

The empress showed concern on her face, and when marching and fighting, intelligence was the first priority.

Once the intelligence work is done, the enemy's movements are clear and you can fight in a targeted manner.

If you are not sure about the enemy situation, the battle will be in a very passive situation.

The Empress knew this principle, and Long Chen knew it even more.

But there is no way, the weather is here, there is no way to find out the news.

"I don't know what the ghost elixir is going... I don't know if it's the ghost elixir who leads troops, or the Martial Saint, the ghost girl who comes in person, or..."

The empress was a little worried, and Long Chen also felt a headache.

This battle is very difficult. First, the enemy I face is too terrifying. Martial Saint and Ghost Girl are legendary characters; second, the enemy is unclear and I can't figure out what the trends of the ghost clan are.

Even Long Chen could not confirm whether the ghost clan would attack this winter.

I can only say that when heavy snow falls, the ghost clan may attack. I don’t know when it will attack.

After fighting for so long, Long Chen was confused for the first time.

I can only compete for the protagonist's halo, I hope my destiny is with me!

"I once thought about building a beacon tower on the grassland, fifty miles apart, and found that the ghost tribe moved back and lit the wolf smoke to report the news."

"But think about it carefully, this method is difficult to implement." www.Bayizw.????m

Long Chen thought about using beacon tower warning, but the grassland was too big and the number of beacon towers required was too large, which was unrealistic.

Finally, only a few beacon towers were built within a hundred miles of Yanmen Pass, which were temporarily built with stone and cement.

Last time, Li Chengdao raided Yanmen Pass and only burned the wooden houses, most of which were not damaged.

Because most of the city walls of Yanmen Pass are built with stone and cement.

When Long Chen first entered the Great Zhou Dynasty, someone asked Long Chen a problem, which was to strengthen Yanmen Pass.

At that time, Long Chen proposed to use nearby volcanic ash to make copycat cement, which has been very effective and has been used until now.

Zhang Man strengthened the defense and used this method.

"The front-line investigation must be solved. Without intelligence spy, we are blind."

The empress looked at Long Chen, meaning that she wanted Long Chen to find a way.

Long Chen nodded slightly and said, "The best way is to go in person. It is useless for others to go. The emperor guards Yanmen Pass."

To detect the ghost clan, one must have high cultivation, otherwise one will die if the ghost clan is dead and there is no way back to report.

The empress thought for a while and said, "Then you be careful."

Long Chen left the room and found Gan Xin and Mo Lin's room. He pushed the door open and went in. The two of them sat cross-legged on the kang to rest.

"grown ups."

When the two of them remembered, Long Chen sat on the kang and said, "There is a chore, you go with me."

Gan Xin pulled out the dry tobacco pole on his waist, lit a pipe of cigarettes, and said, "Sir, what do we have to say?"

The leader takes the lead in doing things himself, and his subordinates have nothing to say.

What I hate most is that the leader is joking on the stage, causing his subordinates to charge into battle and die. When there is a problem, his subordinates act without authorization, and when there is a result, he will make arrangements himself.

Mo Lin asked, "Are you going out to find out the news?"

Long Chen nodded and said, "Yes, the ghost tribe is in the snow and ice, and we know nothing about their movements, which is very dangerous."

Mo Lin nodded. Long Chen went to them specifically because they had done it and were more familiar with this errand.

Their errands that are more familiar to others are not only assassination, but also going to the grassland to find out about the news.

Gan Xin smoked a cigarette and said, "It's useless for ordinary people to go there, we can only go there."

The advantage of the Half-Ghost Body is that it is not afraid of the cold. The Holy Snow Peak is colder than here, so they can tolerate it.

I also have more hunger resistance, just bring some jerky to last for a long time.

"Stay good rest today and set off early tomorrow morning."

Gan Xin and Mo Lin also need to rest for a long journey, and Long Chen also has to arrange for craftsmen to make boots.

After talking for a while, Long Chen found the shoemaker who was in the army, and the leader was an old palace maid in the palace.

"I pay homage to King Wu."

The old palace maid saluted respectfully, and other shoemakers followed him to pay homage.

Long Chen said: "No need to be polite. Please tell me all the procedures for making boots. I'll think about it carefully."

The old palace maid was so scared that she knelt down and kowtowed, "I don't dare."

Long Chen politely called his aunt, frightening the old palace maid, and the others knelt down.

Long Chen immediately helped the old palace maid up and said, "Don't be so polite, sit down and talk."

Outsiders do not know Long Chen's power, and the people in the palace know Long Chen's status very well.

He called out to his aunt, which scared the old palace maid very much.

"I thank King Wu, I will demonstrate it now."

After saying that, the old palace maid immediately brought the tools and materials and demonstrated them to Long Chen, and the others followed suit to help.

Long Chen wrote down the production process one by one, broke down the process, and asked the old palace maid to give his advice.

Soon, the flowchart of the production came out.

According to Anmucheng's experience, Long Chen asked the old palace maid to be responsible for making boots.

As for recruiting nearby people and purchasing barbarian leather, the military's logistics is responsible for it and there is no need for the old palace maids to ask about it.

After everything was arranged, Long Chen returned to his room to rest.

Pushing the door and entering, Dugu Jiali sat on the kang, fiddling with a crossbow machine in her hand.

"Why are you here? Chuchu is not with you?"

Long Chen closed the door and hung his coat on the hanger.

The room is made of stone cement, with small windows, both for wind protection and defense.

After the kang in the room was heated, it was not too cold inside.

Dugu Jiali was wearing a goose yellow dress and sat cross-legged on the kang, saying, "If Chuchu doesn't come, I can't come?"

Long Chen sat on it and smiled and said, "Of course not, it's just strange. You two are always inseparable, why did you come to my room alone today?"

Dugu Jiali said in a sweet voice: "I used to be afraid of you, but now I'm not afraid."

Long Chen is too powerful. Dugu Jiali can't beat him alone, so she must bring Wu Chuchu together to support him.

It’s different now. After Dugu Jiali ate jerky, her cultivation level improved and her body changed. She could fight alone.

Long Chen hugged Dugu Jiali, buried his head in his arms, took a deep breath of the fragrance of his body, and said intoxicatedly: "My Jiali is not tired of smelling it."

Dugu Jiali giggled and said, "Is there only one benefit to body fragrance?"

Long Chen suppressed Dugu Jiali and smiled and said, "Let me see what other benefits there are."

...

grassland.

A barbarian team was walking in the snow and ice, people rode on horseback, and horses stepped forward in the snow with difficulty, followed by cattle, sheep and animals.

There are about 40,000 people in this group, all of whom climbed over from the south of Yanmen Pass and returned to the grassland.

Long Chen killed Wugu, Tuodli and Tieli, and almost all the core generals were killed. Tuzhi took the opportunity to take over the tribes.

However, there are still many barbarians who are unwilling to leave at the south of Yanmen Pass.
