The next day, the sky was just dawning,

A carriage escorted by nine lieutenants and sergeants quickly left the Los Angeles Gate.

Because Bai Mingzhe was not good at riding horses, he had to buy a carriage temporarily.

Inside the carriage

Chu Da wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and asked in a low voice, "You can't ride a horse?"

God, a person who knows "Spring and Autumn" and the way of arithmetic can't even ride a horse.

"Since I was a child, my family was poor, and I never had the opportunity to ride a horse." Bai Mingzhe's face turned red, "Brother Chu doesn't need to call me Gong, Jun is older than me, and he can be the same as the guards, call me Mingzhe." ”

"Uh-uh...... Virtuous brother, if I have the opportunity, I can teach you the art of the horse. ”

"Thank you, Brother Chu." Bai Mingzhe glanced in the direction of Chang'an and asked, "When Jun left, did Dong Zi have any advice?"

"Master Dong said, follow the virtuous brother, talk less, learn more, but the way is short!"

Chu Da will never forget the change in the teacher's face last night when he talked to the teacher.

First regret, then surprise, then horror, and finally madness.

Especially Dong Zhongshu cried and looked up to the sky yesterday and shouted: "Xing Confucianism, must be this son, and those who are prosperous rams will be wise and philosopher!" If Mingzhe was born in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there would have been one more son in the land of China. ”

Dong Zhongshu, as the first person in Confucianism, actually admired a child who had not yet been crowned so much, which made Chu Da surprised and delighted.

Surprised, just because someone can suppress many talented young people in Confucianism.

Happy, just because there are successors to the Ram School.

As the person personally brought out by Dong Zhongshu and Hu Wusheng, Chu Da's heart has long been tied to the rise and fall of the Ram School.

The twenty-eight Spring and Autumn Righteousness directly opened a new door for the Ram School!

From now on, all Ram students will more directly experience the meaning of "Spring and Autumn" and the way of Confucianism.

In his mind, Bai Mingzhe has become the best choice for the leader of the Ram School after Dong Zhongshu.

He had already decided to take advantage of the time to govern the river, so that the friendship between the two would be further advanced, and then invite him to join Confucianism again.

Bai Mingzhe was stared at by Chu Da and goosebumps, worried that this guy would do something out of the ordinary and repeat the mistakes of Long Yangjun, he hurriedly said: "Brother Chu, yesterday the guards warned Yu Wu that the post of embroidered clothes and imperial history can be taken as an official with less than 2,000 stones. However, if it is a person who moves the military, it is best to discuss it with the supreme commander of Yanmen. ”

He bowed his hand and asked loudly: "Dare to ask, who is the commander of Yanmen?"

"Yanmen?" Chu Da was slightly stunned, and immediately recalled the information in his mind, "If I remember correctly, the Yanmen guard is General Su Yi." ”

"Oh, Suyi." Bai Mingzhe smiled slightly.

Slowly,

Wait a minute!

Who?

Su Yi?

Su Yi!

Mom, big brother, don't be kidding.

Is this old man still alive?

Suddenly, Bai Mingzhe's eyes widened, his adrenal secretion accelerated, and his breathing became rapid.

"Brother Chu, what you said about Su Yi...... But the prime minister of the old Chu State? ”

"Exactly!" Chu Da smiled slightly and nodded in acknowledgement.

Bai Mingzhe's mind suddenly exploded, "Boom! ”

A note came to his mind:

In the winter of the sixth year of the Later Yuan Dynasty, 30,000 Xiongnu entered Shangjun and 30,000 entered the clouds. With the middle doctor Ling Mian as the general of the chariot cavalry, the army flying fox; Therefore, Chu Xiangsu means general, military sentence note; General Zhang Wutun Beidi; Hanoi Taishou Zhou Yafu is a general, living in Xiliu; Zongzheng Liu Li is a general, and he is on top of the throne; Zhu Zihou army thorny gate, in order to prepare for Hu. ”

The last six years here do not refer to the Later Yuan of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, but to Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, that is, the sixth year of the Later Yuan of Liu Che's grandfather!

Su Yi, a veteran from an ordinary background, but his status in his early years was almost comparable to Zhou Yafu.

An old man who has been in the army for decades and has resisted nearly a hundred plunders by the Huns!

That's not surprising!

Why did Wei Qing say that even if Li Guang and Cheng didn't know the commander of Yanmen, they would still be called old generals.

The army itself is a place to look at seniority.

As a veteran of the Three Dynasties, today's Han Dynasty, who can compare his qualifications with Su Yi?

Bai Mingzhe really didn't expect it, he didn't expect this old man to be alive, it's really hard.

No wonder, the location of the Xiongnu invasion next year is Shanggu and not Yanmen!

If the location of the Xiongnu invasion was Yanmen, and there was Su Yi, who thwarted their dozens of attacks, I am afraid that the group of left-handedly armed men would not even be able to break through the gate of Yanmen, let alone reach Mayi in the south of Yanmen.

Bai Mingzhe glanced at the north, the corners of his mouth raised, and he muttered in a voice that he could only hear, "It seems that this trip to Yanmen will be much more exciting." ”

Chu Da opened the water bladder, took a sip of water, and then said: "Brother Xian, don't panic too much, the old general Su Yi is strict in governing the army, if there are illegal guards, he will naturally take it if he doesn't need your help." The only thing I am worried about is the issue of the king's transfer of troops to control the river. ”

As he spoke, he took out a map drawn on a sheepskin from his bosom - this was given to him by Dong Zhongshu before leaving.

Spreading out the map, Chu Da pointed to the main road of the Yellow River and said in a deep voice: "I have already investigated, and the location of the Yellow River breach is southwest of Yanmen. Seven months ago, His Majesty recruited tens of thousands of people to go here to control the Yellow River. However, the month of July has passed, and the point of breach has not shrunk, but has widened day by day. ”

Bai Mingzhe squinted his eyes and looked at the map on the floor of the carriage, also worried.

If the river is not controlled quickly, there is a possibility that the Yellow River will be diverted here.

Although the place of the breach is 400 kilometers away from Yanmen Pass, the water and fire are ruthless.

If the breach continues to widen, the water of the Yellow River will flood two-thirds of Yanmen County, or even ...... Persecution of Taiyuan County. Over time, the Yellow River was completely diverted, forming a massive lake area.

No one can say for sure how much the lake will affect the downstream when it is formed.

Therefore, it is necessary to dredge the old river channel and close the water of the Yellow River back!

Bai Mingzhe groaned and said: "If you transfer troops to control the river, I think that the best plan is the plan that the hundred officials got in the first month of spring above the court - dredging the Chen North Waterway." Although the northern waterway of the Yellow River is dilapidated and seriously silted, under the current situation, only by dredging it can the impact on the duel can be weakened. ”

Chu Da shook his head and said: "But most of the North Waterway is in Yunzhong County, and a small part is in Yanmen County. Yanmen County and Yunzhong County belong to different jurisdictions, and without the will of Chang'an, even the old general Su Yi cannot send troops across the county to support at will. ”

The meaning expressed by Chu Da is deeply understood by Bai Mingzhe, because there has been such a situation in history.

According to historical records, on the eve of the Battle of Heshuo, Han Anguo led 700 soldiers to fight Yuyang to the death and held in the camp for many days.

During this time, the people around Yuyang were ravaged by the Huns, more than 1,000 people were plundered by the Huns as slaves, and a large number of cattle, sheep and property were washed away.

But no matter how the Xiongnu raged, Han Anguo did not receive any support from the surrounding counties.

The Daijun under the jurisdiction of the Daiguo was less than three days away from Yuyang, but until the Huns retreated, not a single reinforcement from the Daiguo appeared in Yuyang.

Yuyang is like an abandoned place.

It's not that Daijun doesn't have an army, it's because they don't get any military orders from Chang'an.

Since the failure of the rebellion of Yangxia Hou Chen Xi and the punishment of the three clans, the core leaders of the Daiguo have been replaced by the Han royal family.

All the guards are only responsible for guarding the border fortresses, and have no authority over the army of the country.

If you want to transfer troops, you must report to the country, and then report to Chang'an.

Layer by layer, level by level.

Finally, after receiving Liu Che's edict, he could deploy troops on a large scale in the territory of Daiguo.

Even if it was an invasion by the Huns, permission had to be obtained before troops could be deployed to support.

Without Liu Che's warrant, the generals who transferred troops without authorization did not end well.

Of course, it's good to say that if you win, if you lose...... If you have money to buy your life, you will go home, and if you don't have money to buy your life, you will go back to your hometown.

Even if you want to go home and farm, you need at least 50 gold to buy your life.

The Han and the Xiongnu confronted each other for nearly a hundred years, and during the hundred years, there was no victory at all.

The victory that is truly worthy of pride will be a year later, when Wei Qing led his troops to attack Dragon City.

Under the influence of old ideas, it is impossible for any general to gamble with the reputation of his life.

Therefore, after being attacked by the Xiongnu, the possibility of Su Yi leading the army and going out of the country to support is almost zero.

Bai Mingzhe looked at the map and proposed: "If I go to Pingcheng first, as an embroidered imperial historian." What about borrowing 10,000 soldiers and horses from the king? On behalf of the state, there are two major barriers of Yanmen and Pingcheng, and the distance between the two barriers is less than 300 miles. Even if there is an invasion by the Xiongnu, General Su Yi can also lead troops to support and protect the country. ”

Chu Da shook his head, "Pingcheng is the seat of the country, and it is the forefront of the fight against the Xiongnu. But in such a hurry, where would he move his troops from? ”

Bai Mingzhe said categorically: "This little brother has already thought about it!" Jinyang is a heroic city in the world, even if it loses 10,000 defenders, it will not hurt! Only 10,000 defenders of Jinyang need to be divided, and the matter of governing the river can be guaranteed. ”

"Erya Shi Gong" cloud: "Four up is Qu, five is called Kang, and six is called Zhuang." ”

As the county capital of Taiyuan County, Jinyang naturally extends in all directions, which is a unique condition for troop transfer!

Moreover, Jinyang's defense is strong enough, which has been tested by history.

Why did the Qin State not hesitate to take the risk of launching the Battle of Changping to seize Shangdang County, and was not willing to wave its army to the north.

If the Qin State Iron Division faced Jinyang and gave the Qin State another hundred years, it would be impossible for him to stay in the Central Plains!

In the Battle of Changping that year, the Qin State had to launch and fight.

Even if it is to raise the strength of the whole country, they must take Shangdang County.

If the Shangdang can't be defeated, there are only two ways for the Qin State to enter the Central Plains.

One: Bai Qi led his troops north and took Jinyang.

Two: Fight the Wei State along the passage between the Yellow River and Wangwu Mountain through the Yiguan or Cuihan Passage.

It's a pity that the risks contained in these two roads are greater than the risks of the Battle of Changping.

If Jinyang is attacked, then even if the national strength of the Qin State is consumed, it will not be possible to advance half a step.

Among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei are all from the old vassal state of Jin.

In the battle of Jinyang on the eve of the division of the three families, Zhao Xiangzi, the founding monarch of Zhao State, seemed to be enlightened, and came to a divine surrender technique, relying on Jinyang City to resist the Zhi family, the Han family, and the Wei family for three years. Even the Fen water that was dug up was flooded, and Jinyang was not conquered.

Back then, with two-thirds of the strength of the Jin State in its heyday, they had never won Jinyang for three years, let alone the great blacks of the Qin State who dared to run out of the western frontier after the Jin State was almost dead.

Why did a group of big old blacks who were dressed in linen clothes and holding iron weapons, who had been successfully brainwashed by Shang Ying, attack the land of Longxing in Zhao State?

Is it difficult to achieve the absolute sound of relying on those few words of old Qin, going to the national disaster together, not shedding blood, and vowing not to truce?

In the Battle of Changping, the peak strength of the Qin State was about 650,000, plus the logistics soldiers, the people and the like, basically one million.

Even if it was a million soldiers and horses, they were not willing to attack Jinyang!

It can be seen that Jinyang is strong.

It is definitely one of the best cities in the world.

In later dynasties, whenever they planned to go north, or to go south from the north, Jinyang was a battleground.

Whoever controls Jinyang will control the main transportation arteries in the north and south.

And back then, if the second option was chosen, the tragic situation of the Qin State would be even more miserable.

The final result of this road is only the overall annihilation.

Before Bai Qi, Qin Mugong, the overlord of the Qin State in the past, immediately sent people to attack the Jin State after the death of his good friend Jin Wengong.

The leader is the son of Baili Xi and Uncle Jian.

As a result, on the route of method two, they fought a battle of Qin and Jin with the Jin State.

This war ended with the annihilation of the Qin army and the capture of the main general.

If Bai Qi dared to take people down this road back then.

The Zhao army in the Shangdang area could immediately whip up the horse, and copied the back road of the Qin army through Taihang or Baicheng, and directly cut off the head and tail of the Qin army.

At the same time, he sent someone to tell his good friend Wei Guo, let the Wei army block the Qin army in the valley, and the two countries attacked from both sides, giving the Qin army another "battle of Kun" every second!

Therefore, in order to avoid Jinyang, and in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the battle of Qin and Jinkun, the battle of Changping, the Qin State had to fight.

Even if King Qin Zhaoxiang doesn't fight, King Qin Xiaowen in the future must also fight.

If the party does not take it, the world will not be unified.

After such a test of history, it doesn't matter much if Jinyang has 10,000 fewer defenders, which is also the reason why Bai Mingzhe is full of confidence.
