Chapter 6: The Goal of the Captain

The environment of the Han Dynasty is naturally not to say, whether it is at the foot of Lishan Mountain or at the foot of Baishan Mountain, there is not much difference.

Desolation is still the main theme of the environment of this era.

The Yun manor at the foot of Lishan, because of the tiger, so no wolves are willing to come, even if it is a fierce white wolf, it will only appear in the back mountain of Lishan, and later because there are more people who enter Lishan to mine coal, they move to the depths of the mountain.

Bai Mountaineering is different, as long as Yun Lang is willing to learn two wolf howls, there will always be a corresponding wolf cry in the wasteland.

"Hook Mountain, it doesn't have any value to be entrenched." Huo Quzhi didn't seem to hear Cao Xiang's words.

"You have to hold it!" Yun Lang seemed to agree with Cao Xiang's opinion, which made Huo Quzhi a little strange.

Yun Lang looked at Cao Xiang and said: "In the past, there were people who had the same idea as you, but he lost an important pass called Street Pavilion, and was finally beheaded by his main general. ”

Cao Xiang thought for a long time and shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Huo Quzhi also shook his head suspiciously, saying that he didn't know either.

Zhuge Liang's story of slashing Ma Jian with tears, they naturally didn't know, and Yun Lang didn't think to explain it to them.

"If I'm not mistaken, Maudun's grave is at our feet." Yun Lang took a sip of water and whispered.

Huo Qu stood up sickly and carried Yun Lang's shoulders and said hurriedly: "It's a big matter, this matter can't be said easily." ”

Cao Xiang and Li Kang also quickly gathered around, ready to listen to Yun Lang's explanation.

"Both the Han and the Xiongnu believe that Maodun's tomb is in Baishan Mountain, so they will fight for years and years, yes or no?"

Huo Quzhi nodded again and again: "That's right, this matter has become a fact, there is no need to say more, you just need to tell me why you think that Mao Dun's grave is in Hook Mountain!" ”

Yun Lang said with a smile: "But all the emperor's mausoleums are generally built in a good area with the mountains and rivers facing the sun."

You only have to look at Hook Hill to know that the opposite Baishan Mountain is just a garden of the Hook Hill Mausoleum.

According to the book, the Han Emperor is a red dragon, so the Great Hun Emperor Maodun is a black dragon.

As far as I know, even the Huns admit it, and the Black Dragon defeated the Red Dragon at the White Mountain, so it was not wrong for Maudun to choose the place where he had established the greatest achievement of his life. ”

Huo Quzhi frowned and said: "This is just feng shui, not to be believed!" ”

Yun Lang pointed to the lush grass and trees under his feet, and then pointed to the withered yellow grass and trees on Hook Mountain: "What is the difference between this place and Hook Mountain?" ”

Cao Xiang scratched his head and said: "The grass and trees here have begun to sprout, green and vibrant, and the grass and trees over there are withered and yellow, and it seems that they are not growing well." ”

"The reason why it doesn't grow well is that there is no water." Huo Quzhi also frowned.

Yun Lang chuckled and said, "I just looked at it, the soil quality of Hook Mountain and Baishan Mountain is the same, if it weren't for this river in the middle, they might have even been one a long time ago."

So it doesn't make sense, the water is gurgling on Baishan Mountain, and there is not a drop of water on Hook Mountain.

I also carefully looked at some records of Baishan Mountain, especially the records of Emperor Taizu Gao's northern expedition.

As a result, I found a strange thing, back then, Hook Mountain and Baishan Mountain were surrounded by the Huns, and there were naturally my Han soldiers on Hook Mountain, but those records never mentioned the lack of water in Hook Mountain.

So I guessed that there was no shortage of water in Hook Mountain before, and it was only because someone dug up the water veins of Hook Mountain that Hook Mountain was so dry.

If you dig from the river, because of the low terrain, the water veins on Hook Mountain are constantly dug up.

Only by digging from the high ground to the east can it be possible to dig up the water veins of Hook Mountain.

In this remote place, who can build such a large number of buildings, and who can be qualified to build such a large number of buildings, only Maudun! ”

Cao Xiang's eyes lit up and he looked straight at Hook Mountain and said: "Only after digging up the water vein, then filling in the soil, and then trampling on it with 300,000 war horses, can the water vein be completely cut off." ”

Huo Quzhi said with a smile: "The military order we have received now is to stick to Hook Mountain, this is something that has no choice, so we should choose the focus of defense in the east?" ”

Yun Lang shook his head and said: "Be reasonable, the place in the east is open, and it is the main battlefield of the Huns. It is better to choose the west side, and it is better to guard the horns of the white mountain, and until we have thoroughly discovered that under the meadow in the east is the tomb of Maudun, we had better keep it secret and not say anything. ”

Li Dang said angrily: "In this way, things are back to square one, we have no water source, what should we do?"

It is impossible for a large army to stay on the mountain for a long time, and this matter must be resolved. ”

Yun Lang gritted his teeth and said: "We can only build an ice cave, this year we will dig a cave that is big enough and deep enough on Hook Mountain, and when winter arrives this year, we will collect a large amount of ice and store it in it for the next year." ”

"What about this year?" Cao Xiang asked puzzled.

Huo Quzhi snorted and said, "What else can I do?" We will do what others did before! ”

"I mean, aren't we going to stay for just one year?"

Yun Lang said with a smile: "As long as we really find out, the east side is the mausoleum of Mao Dun Shan Yu, basically there will be nothing to do with us." ”

"So...... It's really going to be a big war here......" Cao Xiang muttered.

My uncle often said that the most difficult thing to fight with the Huns was not the exchange of troops between the two armies, but to find the Huns on the grassland and catch up with the Huns.

As long as the military ministers were not stupid to the point of confusion, such a thing would not have happened. ”

Things in the world are generally thought out well, and the result is usually enough to make the perpetrator cheer as long as it is unsatisfactory......

At least the cavalry captain already has a clear strategic goal, unlike the previous Han soldiers who didn't even have a clear reason to stick to Hook Mountain, there was always only one vague goal - to kill slaves!

The reason why Xie Changchuan sent Huo Qubing to stick to Hook Mountain was probably because of jealousy, his army was a strong army of the Han Dynasty, even if they were able to do it, they could only do it with ten commanders, and it would be very happy that a soldier like the captain could have at most a leather armor to protect the upper body.

The Blind River flows rapidly between Baishan Mountain and Hook Mountain, and if you want to garrison Hook Mountain, the first thing to do is to build a bridge over the Blind River.

In the spring, the ice and snow in the mountains melted, and the frozen soil on the grassland began to recover.

The excess water merged into a stream, and all of it flowed into the Blind River, so that the Blind River swelled, and it was not easy to build a bridge.

Several soldiers smashed a wooden stake into the bottom of the river, and only then did they let go of the auxiliary stake, and saw that the wooden stake was slowly toppled by the current, and then it was submerged in the river, and by the time it showed up again, it was already a mile downstream.

It was only at this time that Yun Lang understood that the reason why Peng Han was almost completely wiped out was because of the barrier of the Blind River, and the reinforcements from Baishan Mountain could not come.

Yun Lang didn't want to repeat Peng Han's mistake, he wanted to build a passage between Baishan Mountain and Hook Mountain to rescue each other no matter what.

"The silt at the bottom of the river is too deep for wooden piles!" Li Dare wiped a handful of water stains on his face and came to Yunlang.

"The pontoon bridge is not easy to walk, and it is not advisable, no matter what, it is better to build a hard bridge."

The scene where the water washed away the stake just now Huo Qubing saw it.

Yun Lang nodded and said: "The hard bridge is not easy to build, we can build an iron chain bridge, anyway, the blind river is not too wide, and the twelve-zhang wide riverside chain bridge should be enough to cross the war horse." ”

"Is there enough iron?"

"That's enough, when we went to Lin Yuan, we built a batch of iron chains, which were originally used to deal with the cavalry, and now it seems that we should use them to build bridges first."

Xie Changchuan was sitting in the earthen city, and when he heard the report from Ma Yu that the cavalry captain had begun to build a bridge over the Blind River, he slammed his fist on the table.

Sure enough, the only thing the gentlemen from Chang'an City would do was to show off their might with their backs to the army, and then return to Chang'an to become an official and become a knight.

"What kind of bridge can be built on the Blind River, at most it is a pontoon bridge, as long as the Huns throw the giant trees into the upper reaches of the Blind River, those giant trees that go down the river can easily tear off the pontoon bridge...... Alas...... These people...... Those heroes follow such a general, and they can be regarded as handing over their lives to the mouth of the ghost! ”
