Chapter 209: The Design of the Jingxiang Ancient Road

Jingxiang Ancient Road, the only avenue connecting the south and the Central Plains.

The history of this ancient road has been difficult to study so far, and even the old scholars of the current world dare not make any conclusions about the years under the Jingxiang Ancient Road.

The only thing they knew for sure was that the history of this ancient road was probably much longer than the history of the Nanli Empire.

You must know that the Nanli Empire has a history of nearly 5,000 years since the beginning of the ancestor Suiren Clan, but the existence history of this ancient road is much longer than that of the Nanli Empire.

What a terrible concept.

Even if there are a few buildings or relics on the continent that can be famous for thousands of years, their existence time is far less than the time when the Nanli Empire existed on the mainland.

And if you want to go back to the time before the existence of the Nanli Empire.

According to some fragmented classics, it can be seen that in the era when the gods of the five directions replaced the Heavenly Emperor Taiyi to govern the mainland, there was a brilliant and brilliant civilization dynasty on the continent.

That dynasty, the name is called

In the Qin Dynasty, the name of this ancient road was called

At that time, the gods of the five directions governed all parts of the mainland, only the northwest vertical corner of the Central Plains was their blind area, and the country of Qin began their rise from there, and the last Qin went all the way east, and at its peak, occupied the entire Central Plains today, and the meaning for Qin was to help them go south and expand their territory.

But at that time, no matter how brilliant it was, there was no character who could stand up to support the stage, and no matter how brilliant the civilization was, under the existence of the gods in the five directions, the final outcome would only be reduced to nothing.

In the end, Qin, a country that once unified the Central Plains, was annihilated in the world after thirteen years of existence in history, and the continent quickly returned to the dark age of the rule of the gods of the five directions.

The meaning of existence was lost, and Qin still failed to continue to expand his territory from the south for thirteen years, creating a truly peerless country.

The world is finally decided, after the fall of the five sides, the rise of the Nanli Empire, the ancestors of several emperors have also sent troops to the Central Plains many times, and the path of the army.

That is, the ancient Chi Road, and now the Jingxiang Ancient Road.

The role of the Jingxiang Ancient Road has really played its role since then, so that this ancient road, which cannot be traced back to the source, shows its great strategic significance in the future to the Central Plains and the south.

Because this is one of the future major arterial roads that can connect the north and south.

Although it is still only a prototype, it is also because Nanli has not been able to march the troops sent to this ancient road all these years, even if it was Zhou Dunyi, it was only passing by this ancient road.

Because if you go any further, their significance to this war is no longer just defense.

Jingxiang Ancient Road, that is an ancient road that can bypass Xinye City all the way into the hinterland of the Central Plains.

And at the end of the Jingxiang Ancient Road, that is, at the end of the border with the empire in the south, there is a place where the flames of war are about to ignite.

That's the eighty-mile Nagasaka Slope.

Bai Qi grasped such a wrong thinking of the Central Plains countries, and the fixed ideas of the Central Plains countries imprisoned their judgment of the battle situation, and it was difficult for them to imagine that Nanli would actually garrison the army near the Jingxiang Ancient Road.

The 4,000 cavalry of the Northern First Army under the command of Gan Mao, stationed in Baling Village, also happened to be picked at an unbiased location on the eighty-mile Changsaka Slope.

Even if the battle on the front line was unfavorable or fell into an unacceptable scorching situation of the Northern First Army, Gan Mao could lead the Northern First Army under his command to turn towards the Jingxiang Ancient Road.

Compared to the Central Plains Coalition Army, which followed them behind Gan Mao at that time, they could only chase the tail of the Northern First Army in the end, and they did not dare to relax, because there were too many places that this ancient road could lead to.

There are so many capitals that this ancient road can lead to.

If this ancient road only leads to a certain one or several countries, the coalition forces may still think about the benefits and gains and losses, but it is a pity that the number of countries that this ancient road can lead to is very large, not to mention that this ancient road can lead to the border of Zhao, Wei and Han.

With these three countries alone, the generals of the coalition forces who were responsible for pursuing Gan Mao couldn't think calmly, and most of the time they might eventually catch up, because the status of these three countries in the Central Plains was something they didn't dare to anger the generals of these countries.

This is where Gan Mao is stationed in Baling Village, and Wu Qi also takes a fancy to this.

Although it was outside Wu Qi's plan to place the garrison in such a place as Changbanpo for the Nanli Society, this did not completely hinder Wu Qi's overall situation.

Because since Nanli's garrison is in Changbanpo, it will be easier for him to control this coalition army in place and unable to march into Jiangxia.

Whether it is the old general or Li Mu, these two people will know the gains and losses of this matter by default in their minds.

With just a few Jiangxia cities in the south and a cavalry that can enter their country at any time, the strategic significance of Jiangxia City is extremely humble in front of their selfishness.

And it is precisely because Wu Qi has such confidence that he easily used this reason to persuade Li Mu who was lying on the bed this morning.

Originally, after knowing the next arrangements of the coalition forces, Li Mu's mood was directly angry, but after he listened to what Wu Qi said next.

He could only remain silent and acquiesce in the matter.

Although the number was not large, the Nanli army of a few thousand people could completely rely on the mobility of their cavalry to stir up trouble in the Central Plains and inflict heavy losses on some countries.

"Your Excellency, you seem to be in a good mood?"

The old general drove his horse through the curtain of the carriage and saw Wu Qi looking at the military book in his hand with great interest in the carriage, and asked curiously.

"Sort of."

Wu Qi pursed his lips and smiled lightly, in this way, he could be sure that it would be difficult for this coalition army to have some weighty voices to resist this decision in the next period of time.

Among the coalition forces on this road, the only countries with weight are Wei and Zhao, and the coalition forces cobbled together by other countries are just some foils.

Since the old generals representing the Wei State and Li Mu, who was left of the Zhao State coalition army on this road, agreed to this matter, no matter which country's generals were dissatisfied with this, Wu Qi could easily stifle those opposing voices at the initial stage.

Listening to Wu Qi humming a small tune in the carriage, the old general was still in the dark, he had never been able to guess what this adult thought, anyway, he was now respected by this adult, what was the point of guessing it or not.

Thinking about it in another direction, since he can't guess what this adult thinks, then can't those generals in Nanli also guess this adult's thoughts?

If that's the case, then.

In the old general's heart, the scene of the detached division under his command under the city of Jiangxia had already emerged.

The old general has not completely given up the idea of solving the southbound garrison in front of him and leading the army to attack Jiangxia.

"Sir, according to General Li, our army is now less than twenty miles away from the place where the war took place that day, and the old man wants to send a pioneer to go first and reconnoiter for the Chinese army."

After the old general thought about it carefully, he was still a little worried that the garrison of Nanli would continue to ambush there and return the horse gun with one hand.

Wu Qi nodded with a smile and said softly

"The old general can arrange it."

Although Wu Qi didn't care much about this possibility in his heart, it was always good to be vigilant.

His next task is not to release water and leave the garrison with Na Lu Nan, not to lose at the hands of that Lu Nanli garrison.

If the Chinese army suffers any damage along the way, what capital will be used to drag the garrison south along the way.

"Okay."

The old general summoned a thousand-man general, and after whispering to him, the thousand-man general nodded vigorously, and then rode his horse towards the front of the army.

"My lord, Jingxiang Ancient Road, does the garrison of Nanli really have the courage to set foot there?"

To tell the truth, the old general was still not optimistic about the possibility that the garrison in Nanli might go there to attack and harass the Central Plains countries after being defeated.

Because in that case, although the southbound garrison along the way will cause huge losses to some Central Plains countries, on the other hand, the southbound garrison along the way will completely become a lone army.

No, not just alone, but more appropriately, they will be a mortal army.

Without backup and reserves, their final outcome will only be the annihilation of the entire army in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

The old general didn't think that the garrison of Nanli all the way would have the guts.

"The old general's understanding of the Nanli army, is this understanding?"

Wu Qi smiled, just replied to himself, and then turned his head and looked at the old general with a smile.

That's the smile.

This old general who looked at it with a smile has always had some unstoppable hairiness in his heart, and I don't know why, it's hair.

"The army of the South Departure."

After the old general read these words, his eyes suddenly fell into a gaze.

The armies of their Central Plains countries would choose for their own lives in such circumstances.

But the army of the Nanli Empire, in the memory of the old general, those soldiers of the Nanli army seem to be not afraid of death at all, that kind of look, the old general can't help but lose his mind.

"It's the old man who is stupid."

The old general sighed and lowered his head, he was carried away by his own selfishness, if the opponent was the Nanli army, since they could create greater value, then they would not consider the problem of their own lives at all.

"Don't blame the old general, the cohesion of Nanli, among the countries in the world, there are few countries that can compete with it, after all, this is the confidence of a great country."

When Wu Qi said this, the smile on his face slowly faded, although he had never seen what the Nanli army was like, but this did not prevent him from understanding the Nanli Imperial army.

That's an army that is very difficult to defeat completely.
