Chapter 314: Crossing the Mountains and Crossing the River

Mangdang Mountain is thousands of miles from east to west, and the narrowest place from north to south is seventy miles. In that year, Emperor Taizong ordered the opening of the mountain to build the road, and the people of the Ministry of Engineering sent people to walk in Mangdang Mountain for a year in advance before selecting this place. Although it is not the narrowest place, the mountain is the gentleest, and there is a broken gorge that can be used, saving a lot of labor.

Even so, it took 200,000 migrant workers to gather here to open the mountain road. In order to commemorate the opening of this mountain road, officials of the Ministry of Industry built a platform at the foot of the mountain with stones and trees picked down during the opening of the mountain. This platform has a full circle of one mile, made of a large stone barrier, the platform is flat and broad, and there is also a mountain viewing hall.

The bricks and stones picked down from the mountain are used to build the mountain platform, this matter has provoked the people who came to the Yushitai for a long time to participate in the impeachment, but at that time Emperor Taizong did not care, when the army marched into the south of the Yangtze River, he had been to Mangdang Mountain, climbed the mountain platform, and watched the mighty and magnificent scene of the army opening the mountain road here.

The general Li Xiao led the army through Mangdang Mountain, boarded the warship on the bank of the Yangtze River, and defeated the Southern Dynasty naval division, which was known as the strongest in the world, and then the army crossed the moat and stepped on the land south of the Yangtze River.

When the convoy passed by the mountain platform, Fang Xie couldn't help but stop.

Although he had seen it from afar once yesterday, he didn't look closely at it at all after a few quick glances. Standing under this mountain platform today, I can really feel the vastness of this project. A huge platform that is almost a mile long and wide, and three meters high, is not easy to build.

Looking up at this high platform, Fang Xie couldn't help but imagine the picture of 200,000 people opening the mountain back then. From Mangdang Mountain to here, it is a dense team of people like ants moving. Relying on their arms and shoulders, they forcibly dug up a piece of the mountain, and then moved it to the bottom of the mountain to build this high platform.

More than 100 years have passed, and the majestic platform has been mottled, the platform is covered with green grass, and even a few trees are already very thick. Fang Xie walked slowly up the stone steps to the high platform, standing on the side of the high platform and looking at the majestic mountains not far away.

Perhaps, Emperor Taizong stood here back then, watching his male soldiers pass through the mountains with an unstoppable majesty and cleanse the south of the Yangtze River.

This platform looks very low compared to the mountain, but standing on the top of the mountain platform, Xie suddenly has a magnificent feeling that the world is in my hands. This feeling makes people feel very excited, and even have an urge to shout.

It was at this moment that Fang Xie suddenly found that he liked this feeling very much.

In front of his eyes, there seemed to be a group of male soldiers striding forward. He saw the endless procession, the cloud-swept battle flags, the long lances like a jungle of steel, and the unusually strong chariots, though a little bulky. In a trance, he even saw that there was a very special team in that majestic army. Dressed in heavy armor and armed with swords, they guarded a huge chariot drawn by ninety-nine horses. On the large and luxurious seat above the chariot, sat a man in gold armor.

That person, I don't know why it looks so familiar.

He saw the pride on the faces of all the soldiers, their gazes determined and fierce. Following this mountain road, the long queue passed through Mangdang Mountain all the way to the north.

Northward?

Fang Xie was stunned and subconsciously rubbed his eyes.

Where there is an endless army in front of him, where there are battle flags like long lances like forests, and there are no chariots drawn by ninety-nine horses, there are naturally no gold-armored generals. The trail was still empty, and there was nothing. It turned out that the boundless black-armored army and the majestic marching war drums were all imagined by themselves.

Huai Qiugong, who was helped up to the high platform, happened to see his surprised expression, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Are you feeling the magnificence of opening the mountain and building the high platform back then? ”

Fang Xie smiled, hiding the doubts and confusion in his heart.

"yes...... It is only in our Great Sui that we can have such a miraculous project. Standing here, I can't help but think about the scene of the army in Jiangnan back then. Hundreds of thousands of troops strode forward, crossing the mountains and crossing the moats, and the momentum was like breaking through the bamboo to level the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Huai Qiugong nodded and said: "When I went to Beijing to take the exam, when I saw this mountain road and this high platform for the first time from here, I was also shocked. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would have believed that it was made by man. And from this mountain cultivation, you can see the determination and courage of Emperor Taizong's southern expedition. ”

"With such determination and courage, the decaying Southern Dynasty has no power to resist at all."

He pointed in the direction of the mountain road and said, "Back then, I walked from that road on my own, alone, without companions. I came out of my house a year ahead of schedule and broke dozens of pairs of shoes before I reached the imperial capital. Come to think of it, over the years, I have only been back to my hometown twice, and one of them was on orders. ”

Listening to his emotion, Fang Xie echoed two sentences.

But in his mind, it was still the image of the previous hallucination.

Who is that endless army? Who was the gold-armored general sitting on a huge chariot drawn by ninety-nine war horses?

……

……

"I used to go north from the south, and now I go south from the north. The road is still the same, and the mountain is still the same mountain. It doesn't seem that much has changed in this opening platform, but the people are so old that they can't even walk the road. ”

Huai Qiugong sighed.

Fang Xie shook his head, shaking off the chaotic thoughts in his head. He knew that the illusions in his mind just now were just because of the opening of the mountain platform, because of this Mangdang Mountain, because of the emotion of the big war back then. At that time, the north and the south were opposed, and Da Zheng in the north and Nan Chen in the south were opposed for hundreds of years, and no one could help anyone, just because of the Yangtze River moat. Later, Emperor Taizu of the Great Sui raised troops to destroy Zheng and established the Great Sui. Emperor Taizong made great efforts to govern the country, and finally extinguished the Southern Dynasty, and the world was unified from then on.

Such a magnificent past is inevitably emotional.

"Let's go"

Fang Xie shook his head and smiled: "When I return from the southwest, I will take this road again, and then go up to this stage to see if I have a nostalgic mood." ”

Huai Qiugong laughed and said, "Even if you walk back and forth from this road when you are young, your mood will not change. ”

Fang Xie smiled: "That's right, I'll be back in a few months at most." ”

I don't know why, Ye Jinnan has not spoken. When he heard Huai Qiugong and Fang Xie talking, his face changed slightly. Standing behind Fang Jie, he looked at this young and promising man, with a very complicated look in his eyes, and he couldn't understand it.

Everyone re-entered the road, passing by the place where Fang Xie sniped Lu Ou, Fang Xie deliberately opened the curtain and looked out, and found that there was no trace of the official road, and he couldn't help but smile. Huai Qiugong saw him laughing, and couldn't help asking, "What makes you happy?" ”

Fang Xie shook his head slightly: "It's nothing, I just feel that this mountain scenery makes people feel comfortable." ”

Huai Qiugong knew that he wasn't telling the truth, but it was not good to ask again.

In fact, Fang Xie laughed because he knew that he was still following others. He killed Lu Ou, shot the five bosses with five arrows in a row, and shot the colt pulling the cart with another arrow. The corpses, the wreckage of the wagon, were gone. Therefore, Fang Xie concluded that the emperor also sent others to follow him, which was obviously the emperor's distrust of him, but it was not necessarily a bad thing for Fang Jie, at least ...... Someone wiped his ass.

He knew that the emperor was a person who no one could trust, and this was a qualified emperor.

The convoy passed through Mangdang Mountain and arrived at the bank of the Yangtze River in the afternoon. This is the first time Fang Xie has seen this big river, when he went from Nanyan Dali City to Fangu in the northwest of Dasui, and took another road. This big river, also called the Yangtze River, is as magnificent as the Yangtze River that Fang Xie had seen in his previous life, and it is even much wider than the Yangtze River in his previous life.

When you get here, you have to separate, Huai Qiugong to the east, and Fang Xie to the west.

The waters in this section are quite gentle, and it is a large crossing. It is said that the upper channel is a little narrower, but the current is so fast that ordinary boats cannot cross it.

Fang explained that they were on a large boat with a length of 70 meters, which was an official ferry boat. Generally, there are two kinds of ferries, one is the official ferry, which is large and stable and the fee is not high. However, because there are too many pedestrians coming and going, it is not possible to rely on the official ferry alone. Therefore, there are many fishermen ferrying here, their boats are small, but they depart quickly, and they don't have to wait for the official boats to be full before leaving.

The people on the banks of the Yangtze River are almost all good sailors. Letting them cross the river by boat is as simple as letting the Mengyuan people ride horses.

At this point, Fang Jie's carriage was useless. On the other side of the river, the local officials would naturally prepare the wagons again. Therefore, as long as the personnel got on the boat, there were about 100 people in the group, and the official uniforms on their bodies were extraordinarily blinking. Especially the more than 50 flying fish robes, which made the people fearful.

This big ship has received orders from the government, and it is here waiting for Lord Qincha. Fang Xie set off as soon as they got on the boat, but Fang Xie stopped them and let the people waiting on the shore also get on the boat. Such a large ship pulled them and let those people wait for the official ship to come back, and they couldn't bear it.

Ye Jinnan couldn't help but change his eyes when he heard Fang Jie's order, there was all appreciation in it.

"General"

A personal soldier approached him and said in a low voice: "I have inquired on the shore, and no one has seen General Lu board the ship...... According to reason, General Lu should also be very eye-catching, and it is impossible for no one to see it. ”

Hearing this, Ye Jinnan's brows immediately furrowed.

"Don't mention it to anyone...... After returning to Yongzhou, if someone asks about General Lu...... Let's just say that the ferry encountered wind and waves, and General Lu unfortunately fell into the river! ”

"But ......"

The pro-soldier was just about to speak, but was stopped by Ye Jinnan: "No, but! If you let me know that someone dares to say a word, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings! That's how it is, it's like this for anyone who asks, do you need me to say it again! ”
