Chapter 869: Mountains and Seas
PS: There are changes in the penultimate paragraph of the previous chapter.
……
Although southern Liaoning is on the Liaodong Peninsula, it does not belong to Liaodong County administratively, but is under the jurisdiction of Jiaodong, which faces each other across the sea.
This is the old system that Heifu has continued since he became a county guard in Jiaodong - who made it only take a few days to travel from the ports in the northeast of Jiaodong to southern Liaoning, but it takes a full month to wade through the mountains and rivers from Xiangping to the end of the peninsula?
Although it has been developed for several years, except for the "Lushun" embedded in the tip of the peninsula like a pearl, the rest of the country is still sparsely populated:
The coast is an archipelago with more seals than inhabitants; In the interior, there are many green ridges, many mounds with lush flowers, and many pointed peaks, and occasionally elk and roe deer jumping in the forest.
In the northeast of this era, the Great Northern Wilderness was everywhere, and there were occasional Yi people mixed in the middle, and there were few households.
However, not far from the mouth of the Yalu River, there is a small yi, which is Xi'an Ping (Dandong, Liaoning), which was originally the garrison of the Qin army, but after Fusu left with the soldiers, this place was empty, and now it has become the residence of the fugitive soldiers Wei Man and others.
Wei Man originally took the former fugitive soldiers and bandits, haunted the mountains and forests north of Jizi Korea, and could not meet their needs with wild animals alone, and often plundered Fuyu, Korea, and Liaodong. Seeing that the world was in chaos and Liaodong was restless, Wei Man also had ambitions, and even wanted to annex Haidong and become the lord of one side.
Unexpectedly, Fusu arrived one step earlier than him, controlled the soldiers, and the two sides encountered in Wuci County, Wei Man was defeated, and the road back to the north was cut off, so he could only go south and temporarily live on the coast of southern Liaoning.
It was a cold winter month, and everyone had no food and clothing, but fortunately, several Jiaodong merchant ships arrived, leaving a batch of supplies.
As a condition, Wei Mansui listened to Jiaodong's orders, and stayed in southern Liaoning until the beginning of spring, after the ice and snow melted, seeing that Xi'an was flat and empty, and Fusu was also busy fighting against the Donghu people, Wei Mansui took the opportunity to occupy this place.
Anyway, there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and there are familiar land opened up by soldiers around, but even if the grain is planted, it can not be harvested until after the autumn, and the food of more than 1,000 people, in addition to hunting and fishing, is still supplied by Jiaodong.
At the beginning of May, Jiaodong's ship came and went, but this time it did not send a grain of grain, but a group of armored soldiers......
"The finest leather armor, though there are only three hundred pairs."
"There are plenty of weapons."
Wei Man picked up a bronze stalk, held it in his hand, and said with a smile:
"The bronze soldiers eliminated from the arsenal have just lost the name of the arsenal craftsman, and Wei Man really can't see it?"
The words brought to Wei Man by the knife were: "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, there is no more food, but it can provide armor soldiers, you want to eat, and take ...... for yourself"
Daojian hoped that Wei Man could attack Wuci County to the north, and then cross the thousand mountains and plunder the hinterland of Liaodong.
"On the first day of every month, in Xi'anping, the population is exchanged for food, the big men and women are exchanged for two stones, and the small men and women are halved." The slave merchant Jia left such a sentence and walked away.
Wei Man's subordinates leaned over and said, "General, do we really want to listen to Jiaodong's words?" ”
Wei Man sneered: "Jiaodong is to use us as a sword envoy, I heard that the person who claims to be the son of Fusu has taken Liaodong and Liaoxi, with nearly 10,000 troops, and many horsemen. We waited no more than two thousand, and if we provoke him and turn around and attack, we may be defeated again. ”
"Then don't care about Jiaodong?"
His subordinates came up with an idea and said: "Whatever you rob is robbing, we might as well go to North Korea, the Ji clan is weak, and its people are not good at fighting, but it is much easier to fight than Liaodong!" ”
"Are you stupid Jiaodong?"
Wei Man was quite moved, but pointed to the Jiaodong warship moored on the Yalu River: "The knife room has not gone far, I have been watching there, and there are more than ten ships with big wings." I also informed North Korea and taught it to beware of us, if we dare to cross the river on a raft, they will dare to attack it, but the prince doesn't want to die in the belly of the fisherman! ”
Not only southern Liaoning, but also after the restoration of HNA, Jizi Korea was also regarded as a sphere of influence in Jiaodong.
"What then?" The men were dumbfounded.
Wei Man said: "Liaodong, the fight is definitely going to be fought, if you don't fight, there will be no food, but we only hand over the men to Jiaodong, and the women will keep their own dependents, especially those who can spin woolen fleece clothes!" ”
The woolen clothes that originated in Beidi County, as well as Heifu's favorite dogskin hat, have been introduced to Liaodong, and in the bitter cold northeast, women who have mastered wool spinning skills have become fragrant and sweet.
"After plundering enough women and food, we will not stay in Liaodong for a long time, leave the seashore, not only to avoid the revenge of Fusu, but also to break away from the control of Jiaodong, go east, into the mountains......"
Wei Manchu's ideal territory is the area where they were exiled before, between Liaoning and Jilin (Liaoning Hengren, Xinbin, Jilin Tonghua), the starting place of Goguryeo in later generations.
To the north is the newly built Fuyu Kingdom, whose king is called Dongming; To the south is North Korea, to the west is Liaodong, and to the east is Dongwofu. Although the hills are vertical and horizontal, there are many deep mountains and old forests, but there are also some flat and arable land.
The best part is that you can get away from the waterfront and no longer have to look up to the east to breathe.
"I will build cities there, multiply, and establish my own kingdom of Weiman!"
……
Just as Wei Man was about to grab a wave and run towards the mountains, Zang Di came to the shore of the sea.
Luan Bu came to greet him and bowed down: "King! ”
Zang Di was still greedy for fame, he didn't listen to Luan Bu's persuasion, refused the title of "Yuyang Jun" sent by Zhao State, called the King of Yan, and set the capital (Yutian County, Hebei), and therefore broke with Zhao State, which wanted to annex Yandi, and the two sides were tense.
Now this "Yan State" occupies Yuyang, Youbeiping and the coastal areas of Liaoxi County, with a total strength of only 20,000, and it has to be divided into two, half of which is in the west and the "acting king" Han Guang to guard against the Zhao State, and the other half is sent to the Liaoxi Corridor in the east.
The West Liaoning Corridor is the only way for Yandi to go to Liaodi, this place is bordered by the bay in the east, the mountains in the west, some places are wide, some places are narrow, and the narrowest place is none other than Yushui, and the mountains and seas are only a few miles of smooth road.
At the beginning of spring, after hearing that Fusu had regained in Liaodong, Zang Di was very vigilant and informed Zhao Guo of the matter, hoping to fight the enemy together......
But I saw that the north of this place leaned on the mountain, the name rabbit ear, the covered boat, the mountain is all fighting, and the high and steep cannot be crossed. It is bordered by the sea in the south, and there is Chongqing water leading to the sea, which is a natural moat.
Zang Di is still a soldier, and after the inspection, he is very satisfied.
"I ...... Lone recently learned from the mouth of Jiaodong merchant Jia that Fusu has Liaodong and Liaoxi, and if he wants to attack Yandi in the west, he must pass here, and this king is determined to make a new expedition and defend the enemy here! ”
Luan Bu was taken aback: "The king wants to come here to defend against the enemy in person?" Who is in the kingdom to guard it? ”
Zang Di was very relieved: "General Luan doesn't know, Zhao also knows about the revival of Fusu, and his pedestrian Kuaiche is an envoy on behalf of King Zhao to the end, saying that Fusu is determined to restore the rule of the tyrannical Qin, and his people are treacherous and hypocritical, so as to deceive the people for good deeds, once he succeeds, Yan Zhao is afraid that he will own it, and his lips and teeth will be cold, so the three kingdoms should work together to resist it!" ”
"As a result, the Three Kingdoms have reached an alliance in Jundu Mountain, and Zhao of the Yan Dynasty has suspended his troops."
Under Chen Ping's deliberate promotion, under Kuaiche's selfishness, and under the fear of the anti-kings for the name of "Gongzi Fusu", Jiaodong, Yanguo, Daiguo, Zhao, and Weiman, a Fusu encirclement network has gradually formed.
I want to kill this remnant of Qin who shouldn't have appeared in the Northeast!
Zang Di has his own intentions: "Although I am the king of Yan, but not after the summoning of the prince, the surname Ji is the royal family, and the nobles of Yandi are not convinced, if I can personally defeat Fusu, the prestige in Yandi will be unmatched, and Yan Zhao Haojie will also compete to vote!" ”
He added: "But the heart of defense is indispensable, General Luan and go back to guard Yuyang, even if Zhao Guo keeps his promise, the widow is also worried about Donghu ......"
Recently, King Donghu led his troops to the west, and was active in Yuyang and hundreds of miles north of Shanggu, and Zang Tu was afraid that he would enter the fortress again.
Luan Bu was a little worried: "The king still has to be careful, I heard that Fusu collected the soldiers and the Liao people, and broke the Donghu on the white wolf water, and its combat power should not be underestimated." ”
Zang Di disagreed: "I naturally won't fight with him in the wilderness, we just need to wait here for work, Yuguan is backed by Jieshi, Lingzhi and other counties, and the soldiers have enough food." If Fusu comes, he has to travel hundreds of miles on the coast where the pavilions and posts are destroyed. Yuguan is surrounded by mountains and seas, it is not easy to attack, it is equal to our strength, and there is no backup, it will definitely hit the head and break the bloodstream. ”
"Again."
Zang Di showed a smug smile: "Maybe Fusu will encounter some accident on the way, and he can't even get here?" ”
……
On the way back to Yuyang, Luan Bu had been thinking about Zang Di's words.
"The king said that Fusu may die on the way, what does it mean, could it be ......?"
Luan Bu knew in his heart that although he was a square man and slightly rejected it, the soldiers were also treacherous, and it would be a good thing if he could eliminate Fusu's threat to Yandi.
But in mid-May, when Luan Bu returned to the capital of the "Yan Kingdom", he heard a surprising news from the north.
"Donghu, already in the north of Yuyang in Shanggu, was broken by the Huns!"
