Chapter 790: The Banner on the Great Wall
It is a collection area with many terrains.
Here, there are beautiful and wide rich grasslands such as Meiji and Yinshan, as well as border slopes near the high slopes of loess such as Beiqu and Puzi, as well as arable land with abundant water sources such as Pingyang and Lishi, as well as mountainous terrain such as Taihang Mountain and Luliang Mountain, and even some desert areas with serious desertification.
It's like it's too natural to stitch the plains and plateaus together, and then glue them together at random, and then leave it alone.
Yu Fuluo and his people hid in the hilly folds south of Meiji, and had been walking for two or three days, at first they were worried that the Xianbei people would chase after them, but then they found that the Xianbei people turned around and went east, and after calming down some panic a little, the worries about the future resurfaced.
People are often like this, when they encounter natural and man-made disasters at the beginning, they are often just scared at first, but when the fear passes, it turns into worry, and then it quickly becomes anxious, and even all kinds of strange things that occur due to huge emotional fluctuations.
Yu Fuluo had already experienced this kind of thing once, but he didn't expect that after only a few years, he would have to experience it again from scratch......
It is very difficult to build confidence, but it is very easy to collapse, just as it is always easier to destroy than to build, and it is always easier to criticize than to praise.
It's just that the previous time was forced, but this time it was chosen by Yu Fuluo himself.
In the past two days, it seemed to be a threat to leave, and there were some small voices gradually spreading, saying that Yu Fuluo was incompetent, that he was cowardly, that he was ashamed of his ancestors, anyway, there were all kinds of people.
Of course, there are also people who speak up for Yu Fuluo, but the loss of the royal court is indeed a fact that cannot be argued, so these people who want to say something for Yu Fu Luo gradually lost their voices, so this extremely strange atmosphere began to permeate the tribe.
Just when Yu Fuluo was thinking about how to improve the morale of some people, Yu Fuluo received Fei Qian's invitation, and suddenly found that Fei Qian's troops were not too far from the valley where Yu Fu Luo people were hiding, just over the mountain of the old Zhao Great Wall, if it was a straight line distance, it would be more than fifty miles......
This is not to blame for the fact that Furrow's vigilance is too low, it is just human nature, and Francoro, who fled from the Meiji royal court into the hilly fold area to hide, naturally focused most of his attention on the north, and relatively less detection of the south.
"Nakaro ......"
Yu Fuluo came to the Great Wall of Old Zhao with dozens of guards, met Fei Qian, and greeted him, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Shan Yu, please be seated." Fei Qian stood up and invited, motioning for Yu Fu Luo to sit down.
This section of the old Great Wall is not as majestic as the Great Wall of Badaling that Fei Qian saw in later generations, but it looks a little dilapidated.
Originally, some of the masonry on the surface of the city wall has been loosened, especially the female wall, most of which have been broken, revealing the yellow-black soil embryo inside, but the shape of the entire city wall is still complete, about more than three meters high, and the width of the city wall is also close to three meters.
In later generations, Fei Qian also once pitied Meng Jiangnu, and even felt that the Great Wall that could cry down must be a very good special attack method of sonic waves, but in the Han Dynasty, Fei Qian slowly felt that the Great Wall was not just a means of defense as he thought in later generations......
Most people in later generations, even including Fei Qian, originally thought that the construction of the Great Wall in the Qin Dynasty was a tyranny, an important symbol of oppression of the wreckage of the people and forced labor, but in fact, Fei Qian Han Dynasty saw some information, and even included the Han Dynasty people's own compilation of the "Historical Records" and "Book of Han" all said that from Yunzhong to Liaodong, it was a matter of the county guards......
In other words, Qin Shi Huang did not mobilize the whole country to build the Great Wall, as later generations Fei Qian recognized, but only relied on the local county guards to be responsible, and the original Great Wall built by Zhao and Yan in the area, and the county guards only used local garrisons to repair them.
As for the record, Meng Tian led the construction of a section from Yuzhong through Gaoque to Yunzhong, and this section also had Zhao built the Great Wall, Meng Tian only repaired it, and the amount of work was not very huge.
Moreover, judging from the records, Meng Tian's new construction of the Great Wall was mainly based on stronghold-type city pavilion fortifications, not a line-type Great Wall. What's more, at that time, the commander of Meng Tian had an army of 300,000, which was preparing for the northern expedition to attack the Xiongnu, and it was in vain due to the death of the first emperor......
Since ancient times, China's border troubles often come from the north. Therefore, the role of the Great Wall in the past dynasties not only protects the security of the country, but also maintains the culture of China. Because the terrain in the north is flat, the desert is boundless, and the enemy cavalry can haunt anywhere. Therefore, it is only by relying on this continuous great work that we can "limit Huma's feet". But the Great Wall is not exclusively for defense, it is also a base for preparing for attack. Within the Great Wall, you can train troops, store food, and accumulate all military supplies. If there is no Great Wall to cover in the rear, it would be impossible to carry out several large-scale military operations since the Qin and Han dynasties, especially the famous generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, the Great Wall was both a front line for the defense of the agrarian peoples and an advance base for launching counterattacks against the nomads, not just for the sake of retrenchment.
More importantly, it is precisely with the Great Wall that the Chinese people have the concept of national borders and the awareness of territory......
"The Great Wall was built in the north and guarded the fence, but the Huns were more than 700 miles away, and the Hu people did not dare to go south and herd horses."
When the Hu people come, they will be beaten, even during the Warring States Period, which was full of disputes, it was also a concept pursued by the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhaoyan and Yan......
Fei Qian looked at Yu Fuluo, looked at his obviously haggard face, smiled and said, "Shan Yu, don't come to harm?" ”
Yuvro opened his mouth, but instead of answering immediately, he fell silent.
After a few moments, Yu Fro stood up, first nodding slightly at Fei Qian, and then turning to signal to one of his guards......
The guard unsheathed a war knife from his back, held it high above his head, and walked to the city wall, where he knelt down in front of Fei Qian and Yufro.
Yu Fuluo said to Fei Qian: "Zhonglang...... Ben Wang ...... I...... Momentary greed...... I also hope that Zhonglang Haihan ......"
After speaking, Yu Fuluo bent down, lowered his head, and sneaked towards Fei with a deep chest salute.
For a while, the wind in the mountains whistled through, blowing across the old Great Wall, blowing Fei Qian's battle robe fluttering, and also blowing the tricolor flag set up on Fei Qian's side, which was hula and rang at the top of the old Great Wall......
