Chapter 301 Return to Beimang Pass
"Your Highness, from which direction do we enter the Tianwu Dynasty?"
An hour after leaving Hanyang City, An Lan asked Lu Fan.
The Daqian Dynasty and the Tianwu Dynasty use Beimang Mountain as their national border.
But Beimang Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, and the border line is not short, and the Tianwu Dynasty can be entered from all places.
It's just that other places in Beimang Mountain are either steep or have a large number of fierce beasts and spirit beasts gathered.
Because of this, the Tianwu Dynasty and the Daqian Dynasty built a pass in the central direction of Beimang Mountain.
Only the place where the pass is built has a better terrain and can march on a large scale.
As for other places on the border, some outposts are set up, and dozens of soldiers are stationed to observe the enemy situation.
Faced with An Lan's inquiry, Lu Fan also pondered.
After thinking for a while, he took a deep breath and said: "Go directly to Beimang Pass, and then cross Beimang Mountain from the direction of Beimang Pass to Tianwu Dynasty."
There are naturally certain reasons for making such a decision.
Jiang Shang and others knew that he was going to the Tianwu Dynasty, but Li Cunxiao and Geng Yan, who were guarding Beimang Pass, did not know.
If he created any opportunities in the Tianwu Dynasty, Beimang Pass would be the first to have the opportunity to cooperate.
After all, Beimang Pass is the closest to the southern border of the Tianwu Dynasty and can respond at the first time.
So he must explain these things to Li Cunxiao and Geng Yan in advance so that they can be prepared.
In addition, the route from Beimang Pass across Beimang Mountain to the Tianwu Dynasty has been opened, and it is guarded and maintained by the Xianzhen Camp and Jiangdong soldiers.
So it is the smoothest to go to the Tianwu Dynasty from this direction, and there will be no major changes.
Another reason is that he wants to pass through or enter Tiannan Pass, the southern border pass of the Tianwu Dynasty.
Not long ago, he led Li Cunxiao and others to attack Tiannan Pass, causing heavy losses to Tiannan Pass.
After so much time, he wanted to know the recovery of Tiannan Pass.
Of course, the most important thing is to find out whether the Tuoba family has added any special arrangements in Tiannan Pass.
In addition, it is also necessary to find out whether there is any conflict between the Tuoba family and the Tianwu royal family.
These things are very helpful for him to control the Tianwu Dynasty, so he must understand them clearly.
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing the enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles.
If you don't know anything about the enemy, how can you defeat or even control the enemy?
After making the decision, Lu Fan and the other two accelerated their speed to Beimang Pass.
This time, An Lan went to the Tianwu Dynasty without Wu Wei and other guards.
After all, with Xiahou Dun brought by Lu Fan, her safety is absolutely no problem, and bringing other people is a bit of a burden.
And she promised to help Lu Fan control Tianxiang, so she would naturally believe in Lu Fan.
If there is no trust at all, there is no need for the cooperation between the two.
What's more, she has a lot of understanding of Lu Fan, and knows clearly that Lu Fan looks ruthless and decisive, but in fact he values love and friendship.
He can be cruel and vicious to his enemies, but he is very tolerant to his own people.
That's why she trusted Lu Fan so much.
After traveling for a day and a night, Lu Fan and his two companions arrived at Beimang Pass the next morning.
Li Cunxiao and Geng Yan didn't know that Lu Fan was coming.
So when Chen Lang, the captain of ten thousand men, brought Lu Fan and his two companions to the front hall of the county governor's mansion in Beimang Pass.
Li Cunxiao, Geng Yan and other captains who were discussing things in the front hall were all stunned.
After a short moment of surprise, Li Cunxiao and others all stood up excitedly and saluted Lu Fan.
"Greetings, Lord (Your Highness)!"
Looking at the excited crowd, Lu Fan smiled and nodded, motioning everyone to sit down.
And he sat down at the main seat under the excited gaze of Li Cunxiao and Geng Yan.
After Lu Fan sat down, Li Cunxiao's eyes immediately looked at Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Dun also looked at Li Cunxiao.
When the four looked at each other, a strong fighting spirit emerged in their eyes.
In addition to the fighting spirit, Li Cunxiao's eyes also showed a look of shock that was difficult to conceal.
He could clearly feel the terrifying power contained in Xiahou Dun's body, which far exceeded his own.
"When did such a strong man appear under the lord's command?"
When Li Cunxiao and Xiahou Dun looked at each other, Geng Yan, Ma Hu, Chen Lang and others also looked at Xiahou Dun.
They could also feel the palpitating threatening aura from Xiahou Dun's body.
This threatening aura was many times stronger than the threat Li Cunxiao gave them.
It was obvious that Xiahou Dun's cultivation was much stronger than Li Cunxiao's.
After everyone looked at each other for a while, Lu Fan smiled and introduced Xiahou Dun to everyone, and also introduced everyone to Xiahou Dun one by one.
After getting to know each other, Xiahou Dun and Li Cunxiao and others all laughed and got along well.
After all, they were all family members, so there would naturally be no estrangement.
After a simple chat, Lu Fan let Ma Hu, Chen Lang and many other captains leave.
Only Li Cunxiao and Geng Yan were left.
"My Lord, are you planning to do anything to the Tianwu Dynasty when you come to Beimang Pass this time?"
Geng Yan couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Lu Fan impatiently.
When Geng Yan asked, Li Cunxiao also looked at Lu Fan expectantly.
During this period of time, the Tianwu Dynasty had no movement, and they could only defend and patrol here, which was too boring.
Compared with passive defense, they prefer active attack.
Looking at Li Cunxiao and Geng Yan who were looking forward to trying, Lu Fan smiled, shook his head and asked:
"Is there any movement from Tianwu Barbarian recently?"
"There has been no movement. The brothers who were trapped in the camp led by Dai Lang have been hiding near Tiannan Pass, watching their every move..."
Listening to Li Cunxiao's answer, Lu Fan couldn't help but ponder.
More than ten days have passed and there has been no movement from the Tianwu Barbarians. It seems that the conflict between the Tuoba family and the Tianwu royal family has not yet been resolved.
If the internal conflicts in the Tianwu Dynasty were resolved clearly, those Tianwu barbarians would have been eager to start reorganizing the invasion. How could there be no movement?
After these thoughts flashed through his mind, Lu Fan looked at Li Cunxiao and Geng Yan and said:
"Next, I will take Yuan Rang and Miss An to the Tianwu Dynasty, and you two will continue to guard here.
But be prepared at any time. When I send you a message, you will immediately lead your troops to attack Tiannan Pass and occupy it. "
Upon hearing the news, Geng Yan suddenly became excited and asked again impatiently:
"Lord, are we going to attack the Tianwu Dynasty?"
After Geng Yan's questioning ended, Li Cunxiao pondered and said, "My lord, I'm afraid our strength is not enough to attack the Tianwu Dynasty at the moment. It would be troublesome to occupy Tiannan Pass."
"However, there is still a chance to destroy Tiannan Pass or destroy the defense measures inside Tiannan Pass."
After Li Cunxiao finished his analysis, Lu Fan smiled and shook his head and said:
“This trip to the Tianwu Dynasty is mainly to search for resources in Tianwu territory and control some forces within the Tianwu Dynasty.
If there is a suitable opportunity, Tiannan Pass can be captured or destroyed. "
After hearing what Lu Fan said, Li Cunxiao and Geng Yan suddenly realized...
