Chapter 500 Heading North

After all, a group of more than a hundred people left Beijing for the north before the first snowfall in the divine capital. Most of them were young monks, and only a small number of them were elderly. Most of the young people chose to ride horses instead of taking cars. Firstly, they came because Many people have never left the divine capital in their lives and want to see what is happening outside the divine capital. Secondly, the journey north is too dangerous and not many young people can stand it.

As a result, the carriages at the end of the team looked particularly abrupt, but several of them drove out from the academy by the South Lake, and the other carriages contained real big shots, so even so, Not many people complained too much, not to mention that their current thoughts were not on these carriages.

The distance between Shendu and the Northern Territory is not close, but it is impossible to say how far away it is. However, there is no danger on this road. When we first discussed how to go there, some officials advocated letting these young people go on their own. , but they were quickly opposed by other officials. The reason was simple. It was said that these young people were the real leaders of the younger generation in the Liang Dynasty. If they were lost on the road before they reached the northern border, the loss would be inexhaustible. Estimate.

This statement is quite reasonable and hard to refute.

The official who just put forward the opinion quickly proposed that Shendu send an elite cavalry to escort them all the way to ensure everything was safe. However, this opinion was also not adopted. In the end, after discussion, it was decided to let Tianyuyuan and the Ministry of Punishment as well as the Ministry of Justice. The monks of the guarding envoy lineage escorted the team. Of course, due to the intervention of the academy, the team leader this time was naturally chosen by the academy. The academy did not randomly assign monks to accompany them, but sent two Wangyou strong men in one go. Among them was even a close student of the dean, Wei Xu, who was known as the most famous scholar in the divine capital.

In this way, Wei Xu naturally became the leader of the team. With him escorting them, no matter what kind of wind and rain they encountered along the way, they probably wouldn't be that worrying.

After all, this Mr. Wei had presided over the Wanliu Club as early as that year. His prestige was sufficient, and his realm was naturally higher.

Xie Nandu's carriage was arranged behind the young monks on horseback and at the front of all the carriages. Except for the Xie family's appearance at the court meeting, she would be at the banquet hosted by the second prince or the banquet organized privately by the other monks. , I couldn’t even see her figure.

As for Chen Chao, he originally had an average reputation among the young monks here, and they did not actively invite him. However, later on, he went to a gathering of young people from the Guard's lineage. It was just for the banquet, but not all of them. Everyone welcomes this young warrior. After all, at such an age, he is deeply favored by the emperor, and he is about to walk step by step towards the position of the guardian envoy. It is inevitable that he will be jealous.

It's just that Chen Chao doesn't care much about this. As mentioned before, if there are too many lice, don't be afraid of being bitten, and if you have too many debts, don't worry.

Whether these people are cold-eyed or jealous, it is just an emotional issue in the end, but if they really want to take action, Chen Chao will not be merciful and will kill them if they need to.

In the carriage, Xie Nandu flipped through a topographic map of the Northern Territory and said softly, "After Emperor Taizu Gao ascended the throne, he was extremely wary of the Northern Monster Tribe. At that time, he was thinking of building the Great Wall of the Northern Territory. But It was not that easy when the world was first settled, but I still gritted my teeth and focused on the north. After Emperor Taizong came to the throne, the country gradually stabilized, and more attention was paid to the management of the north. Changgan was known as the three major passes in the north. Guan was built during the reign of Emperor Taizong, and later Ling

Emperor Zong came to the throne, and the Great Wall in the North was completely completed, and it now looks like what we see today. "

Chen Chao boredly took out a book, opened it and covered his face, thinking to himself, "You haven't seen the Great Wall yet? Then you started telling me about it."

Xie Nandu ignored him and just said to himself, "It is said in the military manual that the soldiers and horses move forward before the food and grass are used. Before going to war, if you don't know the weather and the right location, what else is possible except defeat?"

Chen Chao leaned on the side of the carriage and joked, "What a pity. Before we set off, both sides had sent back all the soldiers on the Mobei Plain. Otherwise, based on my friendship with the guardian envoy, I would have given you some I want you to take a cavalry army of several thousand people to Mobei to fight with the opponent and see if you can come back with a big victory."

Xie Nandu smiled, shook his head and said, "It's not interesting. A small-scale victory or defeat does not affect the overall situation."

Chen Chao grabbed the book covering his face and asked, "Do you really want to serve as a general and lead the northern border army as a woman?"

"Small."

Xie Nandu shook his head and said, "You might as well think about it even more outrageously."

Chen Chao opened the curtain and took a look, heading north. It was still late autumn when he came to Shendu. A few days ago, he could occasionally see the rustling autumn leaves on both sides of the official road. If he walked north for a few days, he could see The frost has killed all the grass on both sides of the road.

Now he looked out the window, and saw that the outside was withered, and there was faint snow falling. Chen Chao stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake, but the snowflake melted instantly in the palm of his hand.

Chen Chao waved his hand, and water splashed on Xie Nandu's face.

Xie Nandu was not annoyed, just stretched out his hand to wipe it away, and said calmly, "Things are not that easy. As a woman who wants to be a general in the north, the criticism from the government and the opposition alone is a big problem."

"When the time comes, I will kill them one by one. Whoever dares to tell me who I will kill will be killed." Chen Chao said with a smile.

Xie Nandu said, "You know it would be better if you became this general."

Chen Chao asked curiously, "When did you and I make the decision in Daliang Chao?"

Xie Nandu said nothing.

Chen Chao smiled and said, "I had a conversation with His Majesty before I left the capital, and I mentioned you. Maybe you can really become a general in the future."

Xie Nandu said calmly, "What happens today may not be certain in the future."

Chen Chao sighed and said, "Why are you so disgraceful to the scenery?"

Xie Nandu ignored him and just continued to read the topographic map of the Northland, which he had read a lot and most of the contents were already familiar by heart.

Chen Chao stretched out his head and looked at the scenery in the north. Although it was not the real north yet, it was already a chilling scene, which was very different from the scenery he had seen before when he traveled south.

Chen Chao thought for a while, took out the sachet that had been in his arms, lifted one end, and watched it shake.

Chen Chao felt heavy.

Compared with one person and one country, it is really insignificant.

But how could a country not be composed of countless individuals?

There is already a county city vaguely in front of us.

Chen Chao looked at the county town and remembered for no reason what Emperor Daliang said in that county town.
