Chapter 108: Imagination
In the west of Shangluo City, on the north side of the official road, next to the military camp being built, Gongyu Wenwen of the State of Yi was playing the pipa, and he was wearing a civilian suit and playing the Divine Comedy "Little Apple" with the Hu pipa to pass the time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The original purpose of his learning Hu Pipa was to flirt with his sister, but this technique was as useless as dragon slaying.
The three wives and concubines in the family are at their best, and there is a delicate balance, if Yu Wenwen brings his "sister" to the house, this balance is likely to collapse, and eventually lead to a fire in the backyard.
Therefore, Hu Pipa playing is like the art of slaying dragons, there is no real dragon in the world (it is not easy to take concubines), what is the use of learning?
Yu Wenwen is a Hu pipa learned from the singer of the Western Regions, and the level is probably listening, plus the modern Divine Comedy is incompatible with this era, and no one in this place is moved by his voice at this time.
Not to mention that everyone in the passing convoy looked sideways, even Zhang Yu and the soldiers who were standing beside him to escort him were very embarrassed, and they were embarrassed under the gaze of everyone.
It's like a monkey scraping bamboo wire, it's so ugly!
Zhang Yu has followed Lord Lang for many years, and knows that this person is very thick-skinned and doesn't care about the eyes of others, but he doesn't talk like this anymore, so he pretends to be stupid: "Lord Lang..."
"What?"
"Why is there a wharf by the Danshui outside Upper Los Angeles?"
Yu Wenwen, who was bored, was interested, playing the pipa was boring, but there was nothing else to pass the time, Zhang Yu was so "acquainted", he felt very relieved.
"Danshui flows all the way to the southeast, you know?"
"Yes."
"Danshui can sail here, all the way down the river to Jingzhou Jingzi Pass in Shannan, and continue to sail into the Han River to Xiangyang or Fancheng, or to the Yangtze River."
Zhang Yu nodded, he was familiar with Hanshui, but the question still popped up: "It's not the rainy season now, I'm afraid the river is not deep enough, right?" ”
"In the spring, the snow melts, and you can sail even during dry seasons." Yuwen Wen is now learning and selling, this question is what he asked not long ago, "Danshui originates in the mountains, and so do its tributaries, and the snow on the mountains melts in spring, and there is more natural water." ”
He also pointed to Laojunyu in the northwest: "The river water in the valley is poured into Danshui, and the water level after the confluence is naturally higher. ”
"On the contrary, it is necessary to pay attention to the waterway during the wet season, when it is the rainy season, there are often flash floods, the water level soars, and the Danshui water flow is turbulent, and it is easy to capsize at the bend of the river if you are not careful."
Yu Wenwen, who is now learning and selling, has a sense of accomplishment, and he must know geography when marching and fighting, otherwise once he is attacked by the enemy, he will not even know where the other party came from.
There is a dragon horse village next to Shangluo, according to legend, Liu Bang is a Qin, and its mount produces a horse in this village, so it has the name of "dragon horse village"; Another theory is that Xiang Yu's "Shenji Wuqi" was named after this.
I can't tell the difference between true and false, but it's right anyway.
Board the ship here and go down, and the ship full of goods can reach Jingzhou Jingzi Pass in about five days during the dry season, and only one day in the wet season; Ascending from Jingzi Pass, from time to time relying on the slender man to pull the boat, he arrived at Shangluo about the 15th.
From Jingzi Pass to Shangluo, a large fleet of ships transported grain and grass, which could save a lot of animal power.
Danshui is very important, from the Han Dynasty as the main road of Jingyang Caoyun Guanzhong, the grain ship enters the Han River through the Yangtze River and then enters the Danshui to dock in Shangluo, and then takes the land route through the Wuguan Road westward into the Guanzhong to reach Chang'an, before the Zhou and Sui wars, this road was interrupted for several years.
Wuguan Road is rugged and difficult, the passage of soldiers and horses is acceptable, but it is more troublesome to transport bulk goods, so the Shannan boundary is shipped to Guanzhong, generally by water to Shangluo and then transfer to land, saving a lot of trouble.
The grain and grass supplied to the Chang'an army have begun to go to Shangluo by water, and Shangluo can also cross the Qinling Mountains to the north through Laojunyu to reach Guanhuashan County, which is not far from Tongguan and Pujin, so Shangluo is a very important node, and it is also the center of the Zhou army's water and land transportation of grain and grass.
So Yu Wenwen was transferred here by his father to guard the door.
Fighting tiger brothers, going into battle with father and son, Shangluo is related to the safety of Wuguandao and the safety of the Zhou army in Chang'an.
Other generals may not be too concerned, but Yuwenwen will not, so he is the best candidate to assist in the defense of Shangluo, if there is an accident in the Shannan territory to reinforce, it is also convenient for him to lead the army here by boat down the Dan water.
You don't even need to get off the boat halfway to go directly to Xiangyang and Changshou, and even Ezhou and Huangzhou can be as far as possible.
On the other hand, if it weren't for the march and the war, and the Zhou State would recover Guanzhong in the future, wouldn't that be the business route for Chang'an?
Thinking of this, Yuwenwen suddenly came to the spirit, Huangzhou Xiyang City is on the Yangtze River, the cargo ship goes up the river to Hankou into Hanshui, and goes up the river through Changshou and Xiangyang into Danshui.
Arrive at Jingzi Pass for a small boat with a shallow draft and continue to go upstream, come to this Shangluo wharf to unload, and take the land route west to Chang'an, in the same way, Chang'an's goods can go to Xiyang, Huangzhou, so it is conceivable that Shangluo is an important transit station.
Do I want to lay out in advance, first grab land and build warehouses in important areas along the line? It seems that just running a mansion shop is very profitable!
Thinking of business opportunities, Yu Wenwen's eyes narrowed, and the war cost was like flowing water, if this wave was successfully bulldozed in Guanzhong, he would have to immediately open a business route to "return blood", and bring Huangzhou goods to Guanzhong for sale.
Not long ago, I received a letter from home, and Wei Chi Chifan said in a letter that the government's income and expenditure last year were just balanced, and there was no profit or loss, which was all due to the biggest deficit of the war, but the war could not be fought, so how to open source was the top priority.
Taking Chang'an is the first step, holding Chang'an is the second step, and recovering Guanzhong is the third step.
Burning, looting, or slaughtering cities or something is quick to come by, but this is a crime that must not be done, but it seems to be very suspenseful to make up for the deficit by loot and bounty, so it is still necessary to do business.
Thinking about continuing, Yu Wenwen is going to do a good market research in Shangluo in the next few days to see how much the "logistics cost" is, especially the labor cost of pulling fiber during the wet and dry seasons, and then the cost of land transportation between here and Chang'an.
No, the waterway from Jingziguan to Shangluo, it is said that halfway through the valley seems to be able to go west, that is, you can go to Hanzhong in Jinzhou or even Liangzhou.
Thinking of this, Yu Wenwen's attention was attracted by the team on the official road ahead, and there was a young man on horseback who looked a little familiar, and was wondering if he wanted to come forward to talk, when he suddenly heard a shrill whistle on the dock next to Danshui.
At the same time, trumpets sounded in Upper Los Angeles, and there was a clamor in the city, and a sentry shouted at the head of the city:
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! (To be continued.) )
