Chapter 274: The Forced Uwang
Ganxi Corridor, south is Qilian Mountain, north is Longshou Mountain, Matou Mountain, Yinshan remnants of the huge mountain range is connected, among the two mountain systems, a long and narrow channel connecting the Loess Plateau and the vast land of the Western Regions.
From Ganzhou City to the west, after the Shandan Racecourse, although the terrain is still flat, it is no longer a grassland and fertile land.
Except for the green near the black water, there is a large Gobi and rolling low hills.
From here, between Jiayuguan, there are ten small towns and three passes.
Wuwang led people to run around, impacted the first two passes to no avail, and after robbing two more towns, he went straight to Xiangyang Pass.
If they can't get out of Yangguan, then they will be locked up in this narrow strip of land, and Jiayuguan will be in front of them.
was chased by Gu Mohan for three days and three nights, and he leaned on Neiying to get rid of him for a while, but as soon as he was delayed in front of the pass, he was caught up again.
Even those who are beaten with iron can't stand it.
What's more, these Rouran warriors who have never been so aggrieved.
Uwang knew that if he continued to run like this, these warriors might not recognize him as a Great Khan.
But if he didn't run and was really caught up by Gu Mohan to form a pinching and encirclement, then what he would lose would not be the thousands of people along the way, but the entire elite of the Wuda King's Tent.
Not only would he no longer be able to be the Great Khan, but the entire tribe under the king's tent would become someone else's slave.
"Great Khan!" Someone shouted from behind.
Wu Wang turned around and saw that it was General He, and his brows were tightly furrowed.
When this man led more than 5,000 of his men to follow his subordinates who had managed to escape to catch up with him, he wanted to hack him to death directly.
Having suffered enough of the Chu people's losses, he didn't believe what the Chu people said about cooperation.
But this man said that he had a way to make Gu Mohan unable to catch up with them.
And indeed, relying on this person's news, they avoided Gu Mohan's encirclement three times.
Come to think of it, at the moment of life and death, these Chu people still know something powerful.
"Great Khan, I have news that the people from Jiayuguan are dispatched, and we can't go to Yangguan." General He rode over, sweating profusely and breathing when he spoke.
As a logistics quartermaster, he has always been pampered, when has he run a horse so day and night!
God knows, when he escaped from the city of Ganzhou, he regretted that his intestines were blue.
Why does he want to fight against the water!
The 10,000 soldiers under him manage logistics, they have enough oil and water every day, and they do a good job of bullying people, but they can't fight at all.
If it weren't for the 5,000 people left to him by General Luo, he wouldn't even be able to escape from the Ganzhou City Gate.
But if he doesn't fight against the water, he will only have a dead end!
has been a quartermaster for fifteen years, and he has long been tied to General Luo.
The Northwest Army consumes 20 million taels of silver a year, which is often deducted by the imperial court, and the oil and water are also very rich.
Although most of them have honored the Luo family, there is a lot of money left, but it is the source of private water for these border generals.
Otherwise, who wants to stay in this bitter cold place, risking the danger of the Rouran people attacking at any time, and staying for more than ten years!
After General Luo Lao entered Beijing, the accusation against them did not decrease.
Even later, Gu Mohan was appointed as the general of the Northwest, and they were not allowed to give the money to Gu Mohan.
Of course, they don't have any money to pay.
The military salary was paid by Gu Mohan who came back directly from the capital and made a military order, and he didn't give him a copper plate, but checked the accounts with his own people.
is other equipment, because of Su Cen, the military department is not so happy.
Today's autumn harvest, Gu Mohan led the team to collect the military rations, and stretched out his hand to other purchases, so he knew that there was trouble.
At that time, he didn't resent General Luo.
The Luo family has accumulated wealth for so many years, not to mention anything else, just the filial piety he has in his hands in the past fifteen years, there are three million taels, not to mention the large piece of land outside Ganzhou City.
With so much money, why bother holding on to the money bag anymore?
Isn't there nothing wrong with giving filial piety to Gu Mohan?
I have to let Gu Mohan investigate so strictly.
But the words that General Luo sent over made him change his mind immediately.
The man said that what Gu Mohan wanted was not money, but liquidation!
If he finds out the previous accounts, then not only the Luo family has something to do, but the first thing to bear the brunt of it is his He family, fifteen years, and the money he General He embezzled is enough to destroy the nine clans.
He was still hesitating, after all, embezzlement and collusion with Rouran were two different things.
When he knew that He Danyun had opened the city gate to collude with Rouran, and Gu Mohan came back with human and physical evidence, he still thought that he might as well surrender to Gu Mohan and turn himself in, and then take the initiative to hand over the evidence.
Directly betrayed the Luo family.
Perhaps, there is still a way to live.
But that day, he received news that Gu Mohan had already mastered the evidence of his crime, and after returning to the city, he conspired with General Ye to arrest his family.
He was frightened, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the messenger of the old general Naro had mobilized his army, instigated his men, and began to storm the north gate.
The arrow is on the bow, he can't collect it if he wants to, he can only think that now in Ganzhou City, Gu Mohan's people are only 20,000 people, and General Ye is an old fox, who has always preserved his strength.
As long as the Rouran people enter the city and kill Gu Mohan, and then he goes to reason with General Ye, then the emperor is far away, how to tell the capital depends on them completely.
But ******, this soft sweat is actually a coward!
Didn't even enter the city, ran away from the city!
He can only run after them!
The geographical location of the Ganxi Corridor is special, and as soon as several passes are closed, the passage is equivalent to closing.
It's not like the endless grassland outside the gate at all, as soon as you run in, there is no shadow.
No, Gu Mohan took people like chickens, chasing them everywhere.
If he hadn't kept an eye in advance, he threatened the Liu family first, and got the news from the Liu family in advance.
Now it has long become a white bone on the Gobi!
Hehe! The Liu family!
Thinking that pleasing Gu Mohan would have a bright future, the old man could even give away his only daughter!
But the old man forgot that the Liu family had sold those horses of unknown origin to the Northwest Army at a high price for so many years, leaving a lot of evidence in his hands!
Make a deal with the Rouran people in private, just this one, then the emperor of the capital can destroy the Liu family!
If he could escape, it would be easy to say, and the evidence would be returned to the old man.
If you can't escape!
Hum!
"Can't go to Yangguan? Do you want me to go to Jiayuguan! Wu Wang looked at General He and said coldly.
"No, no, Great Khan, you see, here, there is a path." General He wiped the sweat from his forehead and took out a sheepskin from his arms.
A few thick lines were drawn with charcoal on the sheepskin.
Uwang looked at it and didn't understand it.
"Here, in the col next to Baofeng Pass, there is a path leading to the desert outside, which is very hidden." General He pointed to those lines and said, "Gu Mohan definitely didn't expect that we would turn back, we will leave some people to attract their attention, and then go out from here!" ”
