Although he decided on the strategy, he was still a little nervous after all. Without the force of one person to suppress the other world, Yang Yi was a little cautious in his actions.

The snow didn't last long, and it stopped again after a while.

The sky was gradually clear, and Yang Yi, who was reported by the eunuch, stood up in front of the desk.

"Transfer the order and draw one hundred Jinyiwei and one hundred inner guards to go out with me."

"No." When the eunuch heard this order, he immediately went down to prepare.

When Yang Yi sat on the carriage and came to the palace gate, hundreds of inner guards and hundreds of Jinyiwei were already wearing casual clothes and waiting in front of the door.

The Jinyiwei and the inner guards in the palace are both unified as the imperial guards and are the elite among the elites. They can be the team leader if they are released.

Yang Yi also changed into casual clothes at this time, turned over and said lightly: "You will follow me to inspect."

"promise!"

With these two hundred cavalry, Yang Yi took the lead and walked out of the palace gate to the outside of the city. The reputation of the Jinyiwei and the inner guards was naturally no one dared to stop the city guards at the city gate.

The commander Zhang Muzhi, who was accompanied by the Jinyiwei, was naturally aware of how to do things. The commander of the inner guard, Su Xiang, was promoted and trained by Yang Yi himself, and they were all confidants.

At the beginning, neither of them was concerned. They rode selected fast horses, and they could travel quickly even if they were snow. After an hour, they ran nearly a hundred miles and had reached the edge of northern Guanzhong.

This northern Han area has been gradually occupied by the Beiyi, but it was dispersed before, but now the northern border is expanding to the north.

Yang Yi established Lin County here, but Lin County only has two counties. Not long after passing Lin County, he continued to move towards the north. Zhang Muzhi urged the horse to come to Yang Yi and asked: "Your Majesty, although Lin County is pacified, it can be unrest in chaos when you go north. You are a body of gold, how can you take risks yourself? If you have ever believed in Weichen, Weichen is willing to lead a team of people to investigate the situation in the northern border."

It was obvious that he discovered Yang Yi's intention, and Zhang Muzhi wanted to persuade Yang Yi to return.

"Haha, how did you find out?" Yang Yi asked casually, the horse's speed slowed down slightly.

"Your Majesty, you are almost crossing the border of Lin County. I don't know yet, it's a death sentence." Zhang Muzhi said.

"I just plan to patrol the border, not to go to dangerous areas. Once I encounter a situation, aren't you waiting? Why, can't the two hundred elite guards protect me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Muzhi, who was planning to persuade him, immediately looked shaking and said seriously: "We are willing to protect His Majesty to the death!"

Seeing this, Yang Yi's face slowed down and said, "What are you waiting for? Let's go."

The group continued to head towards the border. At this time, refugees could be seen slowly coming from the north. Although the Huns and Qiang people occupied the northern border counties of the Great Han Dynasty, compared with the Han people in their area, at most, they were only half of them.

However, due to the decline of the Central Plains dynasty, these areas were occupied by the Northern Barbarians, and the Han people could only be slaves here.

At the beginning, there were still a group of refugees on the road, but the more they went to the border, the refugees gradually became unable to see them.

Yang Yi's face did not improve, but instead became increasingly ugly, because although there were fewer refugees and more and more frozen corpses on the ground.

At first, there were only a few corpses lying on the roadside, but later, corpses could be seen almost everywhere on the roadside, all of which were ragged and thin.

Looking at Zhang Muzhi, Su Xiang and others beside him, they all looked unbearable.

Yang Yi said nothing and just asked: "Who is the governor of Lin County?"

"It was originally demoted to Tian Xu."

Yang Yi didn't say anything. Tian Xu's situation was already very good, which led to refugees coming here. Now there are very few dead people close to the Han territory, and many dead people close to the border, so you can praise it.

At this time, Zhang Muzhi intercepted him for the second time and said, "Your Majesty, you can't move forward any more."

Yang Yi didn't say a word, grabbed the horse and sighed. At this time, he was almost at the border. Ning looked at it for a while, and finally sighed and said, "Go back!"

I was thinking about how to go back to see Tian Xu, and I still had an impression that if I could, I would promote it again and entrust it with important tasks.

Yang Yi was about to go back when suddenly a "huh" sounded, and a group of people in front ran towards this side.

It's said it's running, but it's actually just walking a little faster.

"Go and take a look." After Yang Yi said that, he went ahead first. When Zhang Muzhi and others followed, Yang Yi had already strangled the horse in front of the group of people.

Yang Yi glanced over these people and found that they were all ragged, pale and thin, and some women were mixed in, but they were so thin that they could not see any appearance.

When Yang Yi and the guards appeared in front of him, the refugees had stopped and were trembling all over, and some women even started crying in a low voice.

Yang Yi's eyes fell on the leading man. Seeing that he was performing better, Yang Yi frowned and asked, "Did you come from the north?"

He could see that the group of people came out of the same place, supporting each other and leaning against each other, looking very familiar. At this time, he even formed a group of people with this man as the leader, his eyes full of fear and vigilance.

"Your Majesty, we came from there..." Looking at the cavalry appearing in front of us, the refugees looked terrified, and the leader was actually the same.

But behind him was the fellow villagers. After Yang Yi asked, the man stood up and replied.

"Where are chasing you behind?" Looking at the expressions of these people, Yang Yi said in a guess.

Unexpectedly, when the question was asked, several women among the refugees cried more and more violently. Yang Yi signaled the man to continue answering. The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Shangjun, it's sad in winter. It's common for the Huns and Qiang people to kill and grab food in winter. This year, it's very fierce and even kill people. We really can't survive. I heard from the merchants that the Han area can survive. The Han emperor loves the people. We are all villagers and tribesmen from the same village. Our village has been destroyed. We just want to go to the Han area to find a way out."

They talked randomly again, and the old people in the village talked about the situation during the Han Dynasty, and then they made up their minds to make a living in the Han area.

Yang Yi was silent at first when she heard the sad crying, and turned her head to Zhang Muzhi for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, you used to have porridge sheds in the counties and counties in the Han area. You can hurry to receive relief. Then go south. Of course, someone will pick you up and give them a bag of dry food so that they can walk."

It only takes an hour for the cavalry to travel over a hundred miles, but these people need to walk at least one day and one night.

When traveling to the imperial guards, each person carries dry food for five days with him to deal with emergencies.

When Zhang Muzhi heard the order, he threw the dry food he carried with him to the man. It took him five days to use it, which was enough for these people to eat. Seeing this, Su Xiang also threw away his dry food.

The two of them had a lot of dry food. There were only a hundred people in this group, and they could eat one bite. If they walked for a day and night, this dry food could barely reach the relief area.

The man took it and then knelt on the snow with a "slap": "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

After eating one bite by one person, and with the little food I originally brought, I could reach the point of relief.

It was Yang Yi who was unwilling to give more. It would be fine if he gave more bags of two hundred guards. However, people were greedy, which was enough. The soldiers had to prepare dry food just in case.

"Okay, let's continue moving forward!" Seeing this, Yang Yi said lightly, not seeing the refugees lying on the ground crying and thanking each other, Yang Yi shouted and led people to continue to run towards the border.

Along the way, I never encountered refugees again, and the smell of blood gradually became stronger.

"Prepare for battle, you may encounter enemies in front of you." Seeing that Yang Yi had no intention of retreating, Zhang Muzhi had to turn around and give orders to the guards behind him.

Everyone responded to the promise and became more vigilant.

After walking for more than ten miles, I had already crossed the border and saw bloody corpses on the side of the road, but I did not meet any enemy.

"Your Majesty, you have passed the border. Going there, it is the territory of the Huns. We can't move forward." Zhang Muzhi stepped forward at this time and said again.

"Is Zhang Qing scared?" Yang Yi turned to look at him and asked.

Zhang Muzhi said in a stern manner: "Your Majesty, we will go to the horse and die, but how can you take risks? If you move forward again, I dare not take orders! I will advise you to death!"

When Yang Yi saw this, he was stunned, smiled bitterly for a moment, and said, "Oh! It seems that I have been determined to do it alone, okay, forget it, go back!"

When Zhang Muzhi heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand behind and followed immediately.

This time, Yang Yi slowed down his horse and only walked around not far away, without seeing smoke from cooking. This original Han area was very harmful to the Northern Yi.

"Go back." Seeing the barren land here, Yang Yi had already understood the situation in the northern border.

The situation here is already very difficult. If the Northern Yi continues to rage, I am afraid that if the Northern Xinjiang is taken back in the future, it will be difficult to guard the people without the people.

These barbarians were very cruel to the Han people. Just look at the bodies of refugees on the ground along the way, you can see the clues.

At this time, Zhang Muzhi urged his horse to come to his side and whispered: "Your Majesty, I heard that there is a team of cavalry coming to this side."

At this time, it was in Diaoyin County, and had already crossed the Han control line and reached the territory of the Huns. At this time, Zhang Muzhi and others were very careful.

The cavalry team was still far away, and the sound of horse hooves on the ground could not be heard, so they were noticed by Zhang Muzhi.

"Send a few people to investigate the situation and see how many people there are." Hearing this, Yang Yile stopped and said instructed.

"No." Zhang Muzhi responded and came to the guards, selected several scouts, listed them as a team, and sent them out.

Zhang Muzhi was originally a wealthy family in the mountains. Although his family ancestors were also the ones who inherited the emperor, their family had already declined. He had the great fortune and had the ability to follow the dragon, but this lineage was working hard.

From a noble family living in seclusion in the mountains, they have now become a noble family. The nine brothers of the Zhang family have all entered the army, all of whom are above the Sima position in the army. However, five of the nine brothers have died in battle due to state affairs.

Although Zhang Muzhi's commander of the Jinyiwei seemed to be just a general in the first army and was just a miscellaneous general in terms of position, his position was low and his power was even comparable to that of the Jiuqing.

The few people Zhang Muzhi selected were extremely cautious. When he returned, he had already found out the situation clearly, but he was not discovered by the other party.

"So, there are only more than fifty people on the other side, all of whom are cavalry sentry? No large number of enemies are found nearby?" Yang Yi asked.

"Your Majesty, that's exactly what it is." Zhang Muzhi responded.

"And this group of cavalry is coming to this side?" Yang Yi asked again.

"Yes." Zhang Muzhi replied.

"That's good. I'll send my orders to wait here to eliminate this enemy army!"

"promise!"

After investigation, Zhang Muzhi will naturally not let go of the excitement and refusal. As long as the passage is no longer forward, if there is really a large number of enemies coming, he can protect the emperor and retreat quickly.

Then, Yang Yi led dozens of inner guards, waiting in a snow forest next to her under Su Xiang's escort. Zhang Muzhi refused to let Yang Yi go to battle, so Yang Yi had to take a dozen people behind her.

In a short while, the enemy cavalry had already galloped forward.

Obviously, this cavalry did not expect that an enemy that would suddenly appear in front of him that would be twice as great as his own.

"Everyone, follow me to kill the enemy!" Zhang Muzhi immediately rushed up with his men and did not bother with these people. He knew what he should do.

Yang Yi didn't have to rush up to fight. Under the protection of Su Xiang and other inner guards, she only watched the battle in the open space not far away.

With the sound of horse hooves, the two teams of cavalry quickly met and immediately started fighting.
