Then, as some people expected, due to the rain and cold weather, the disease began to spread at a low intensity. Many palace residents and eunuchs became ill.

The soldiers were abandoned along the way in inns and villages that lacked medical treatment and medicine, which triggered new rumors and fears... So some people began to try to escape into the surrounding mountains, and a very few officers even abandoned their posts and fled with others.

After walking for seven or eight days, we finally arrived at Fenyang Palace.

In fact, to be honest, during the past seven or eight days, the rain has stopped for the last four or five days, and after Fenyang Palace heard that there was a problem with the Western Inspection Team, they immediately took the initiative to greet... Wang Daiji is a villain, but he is definitely a capable one.

He was a villain, and he had sorted Fenyang Palace properly within a few months. At this time, he arrived with Fenyang Palace's own garrison troops, as well as stored medicines, tents, and clean military uniforms, and he was instantly relieved.

The team's urgent need.

However, after this incident, the appearance of the huge Western Inspection Team, not to mention the arrogance when they first left Dongdu, the calmness when they were in Guanzhong, and the Taiyuan... Zhang

The team has always been in the core area. I really don’t know how many personnel have been lost in the past few days, and whether it has damaged the Western Patrol team. However, the morale has dropped to the bottom, and the atmosphere has become completely wrong, but it can be seen at a glance.

.

Under this situation, Zhang Xing really had no choice but to use his relationship with Wang Daiji to ask for medicine, hay, and food as soon as he arrived at Fenyang Palace, and then told his subordinates to take good care of their horses and salute them in case of emergencies.

need.

Fenyang Palace is located at the junction of the three counties of Yanmen, Mayi and Loufan, and on the edge of the Guanluan Mountain Tianchi at the source of the Fen River. It is condescending and echoes the Yanmen County City. It is both a palace, a city, a military fortress and an important

Warehouse base.

This area is bounded by Dahe and the Luliang Mountains to the west, the Hutuo River and the Taihang Mountains to the east, the direct passage along the Fen River to Taiyuan to the south, and Loufangguan to the north... This world does not need the Great Wall, and there is no Great Wall, but

The prototype of the Great Wall, side walls and fortresses are still there.

The area to the north of Loufangguan, to the south of Bitter Sea, to the east of Dahe, and to the west of Yanshan Mountain may be the location of the most famous border town in this era of the world.

Because they are the key to the Central Plains compared to the territory of the Northern Wilderness and the Wu Clan. There is a big gap between the Bitter Sea and the Poisonous Desert. Not to mention, it is also an important passage for the Wu Clan and the Northern Wilderness people to go south.

In the past, the Tang Dynasty was in civil strife and its hegemony collapsed. The Southern Tang Dynasty moved southward, and the North suddenly came and went. Dozens of political regimes were separated in succession. Finally, the Great Jin once took control of the north. The predecessors of the Great Jin were people from the North who crossed the sea and were pacified.

The border towns gathered here... Of course, those are official history books. In fact, many people believe that at the beginning, the Great Jin Dynasty was more like a band of bandits composed of Wu tribe and Northern Wilderness people, and there were even more Wu tribesmen.

However, the Wu Clan is actually not much different from the human race in terms of race, and at that time, as the northern fortress, this place was already in chaos, with armed groups constantly coming and going, and there were everyone in it, so the racial color was meaningless.

.

It can only be said that since they have been stationed in this place for a long time, they will inevitably be influenced by the Wu culture, and then try to cover it up.

Not to mention, the Jin Dynasty went south from here, controlled Taiyuan, unified Hedong, conquered Hebei, swept Guanzhong, the Central Plains, and the Eastern Border. It once unified the north and tried to go south to confront the Southern Dynasties. However, because of its weak foundation, it was always difficult to reconcile the upper-level north.

The conflict between the nobility and the Central Plains families,

But it finally followed the old path of the Tang Dynasty, and the civil strife spiraled out of control.

At this time, a rebellion suddenly broke out in the border town here. Considering the injustice and oppression suffered by the border residents at that time, it can be called an uprising.

The result was that the five major border towns here revolted together and followed the route of Longxing of the Jin Dynasty, all the way south, unstoppable, which actually caused the destruction and division of the Jin Dynasty... What is interesting is that both the Dong Qi group and the Jin Dynasty

The Guanlong clan clans of Wei and the previous Wei dynasties generally came from the five major border towns of this uprising.

Under such circumstances, hundreds of years of political and military traditions are placed here. It is no wonder that until the situation of the Wei Dynasty, special attention was paid to this insignificant place.

The day we arrived at Fenyang Palace was early October, but because we missed the Cold Food Festival, there was a hasty sacrificial ceremony for the Black Emperor right after.

During the ceremony, strange signs appeared.

"What is that?" Halfway up the mountainside under Tianchi, Zhang Xing, who had successfully hidden away and was watching the excitement from a distance, suddenly noticed a dark cloud in the north, and then poked Li Ding, who was looking at the top of the mountain in ecstasy.

"Why is it floating so fast? There is no north wind today? Otherwise, it would have frozen to death."

Li Ding, who had a higher level of cultivation, looked at it for a while and was still unsure: "It really doesn't look like clouds, but it's hard to say. Could it be a bird? A bird that travels between the sea of ​​suffering and the south?"

In fact, at this moment, not only Zhang Xing and Li Ding, but also many people with cultivation were sensitive to the movement in the north. After a while, ordinary people also noticed the movement.

The practitioners finally determined that what this thing was was a bird. The birds were densely packed, overwhelming, from north to south. They seemed to be migratory birds traveling between the north and the south. Considering that the weather had suddenly become colder recently, it was normal for them to start moving northward in large areas.

Don’t you see, is Yanmen County next door?

"It's not a wild goose or a water bird... it's a crow." After a while, Li Ding's expression suddenly changed.

"It's a crow." Zhang Xing also clearly heard the crow and became uneasy again. "What can the crow say? Is it unlucky?"

"I don't know." Li Ding turned around and spread his hands. "It may not be unlucky. In ancient times, there were crows pecking at the grains and gathering on the roof of the Holy King, and then the Holy King established his hegemony. However, there are also crows that pecked at the corpse of the tyrant after his death. In an instant,

What White Bones said... You Beihuang and the Wu Clan also have some magical sayings about crows... I can only say that this thing does have some signs."

Zhang Xing was silent for a moment, looking at the crowd of crows getting closer and closer, and asked sincerely: "Then do you think they are here to pick up millet and give gifts to our saint?" Li Ding was speechless: "If this is the case, it is really the way of heaven.

Neither I nor the Supreme One can open their eyes."

"Then do you think they will peck the flesh of a saint?" Zhang Xing lowered his voice and continued to ask.

"I think it's a bit difficult." Li Ding looked at the crows that were almost flying overhead and became nervous for a moment.

Zhang Xing no longer asked any more questions, but stood with hands tied together, staring at the group of crows.

Slowly, countless crows got closer and closer, and finally reached the top of Tianchi. Then, amidst the nervousness of the people below, these crows neither dropped the grain nor pecked anyone's meat, but started to eat.

There was a lot of noise above the Tianchi Lake, and they circled in a big circle, shitting a lot of shit into the Tianchi Lake, and then headed north.

There is a saying that birds poop in the sky, so it cannot be said to be a bad omen. Therefore, this group of miscellaneous birds seems to have just heard that the saint was patrolling here and came to watch the fun.

But no matter what, the saint became completely unhappy and even refused to drink water from Tianchi and Fenshui.
