20. Shu Road is thousands of miles
At the end of August, the soldiers of the Shence Battalion were shining brightly, and the people and horses left Beijing in a mighty manner and embarked on the journey to Jiannan, "Engong, the king of Hechuan County asked me to take care of you!" Cai Fonu led Gao Yue's mount, and he was inseparable.
Gao Yue looked forward, Li Sheng, the general of the Shence Xing Battalion, and the general Jinwu were surrounded by golden armor, riding their horses under the banner, without words, and directly commanded the sergeants to move forward.
When they arrived at Fengtian City in western Beijing, the cavalry of Changwucheng of 2,000 Shuo Fang, under the command of the general Meng She, came from Pizhou, joined forces with Li Sheng's army, and accepted Li Sheng's leadership and became a wing of the camp.
In less than three days, under the current long shed of the military warehouse under the Yongcheng of Fengxiang Mansion, Wei Gao sat on the left, Gao Yue sat on the right, each sitting under the Facebook case, and worked hard to write on the book.
Fengxiang Mansion is densely populated, the mulberry field stretches, the cattle and sheep are full of mountains and valleys, it is worthy of being the elite land of Qinchuan of 800 miles, and there are Qishan and Huangshan as barriers all around, it is not the same day than Jingyuan, and there is quite the atmosphere of the overlord foundation.
There is certainly a reason why Gao Yue made this the first stop for supplies.
"How does the festival make Zhu Zhu?" At the same time as facing the book, Gao Yue whispered to Wei Gao next to him.
"Those who are kind and ruthless should not be heart-to-heart." Wei Gao was also bold, and replied directly to Gao Yue, "Zhu Zhu is generous on the surface and good at buying people's hearts, but he and Zhu Tao's brothers, first colluded with Zhu Xicai to kill Li Huaixian, and then killed Zhu Xicai to establish himself as Youzhou Jiedu, and now although Zhu Zhu has entered the court, Zhu Tao is still in Youzhou, and the brothers are each other's inside, I think it will be a problem for the country's henchmen." ”
Wei Gao's words made Gao Yue a little embarrassed: What is his father-in-law and uncle-in-law, fortunately, he is now coming to Fengxiang as a judge of the Divine Policy Forbidden Army.
"Sister-in-law is in good health now?" Gao Yue diverted the topic.
Wei Gao laughed, pulled out his hand and patted his abdomen, meaning that his wife Yu Xiao was already pregnant with Liujia, and asked Yi Song why he hadn't entered the department of "Filial Piety Litian" yet?
When the two were talking and laughing, Feng Xiang Yin and Long Youjie Du sent Zhu Jun to come, Wei Gao and Gao Yue hurriedly got up and saluted, "It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this." "Zhu Junguang looks at the appearance is indeed a good gentleman with kind eyebrows, and it is rare that he still remembers Gao Yue, "In the past, I wanted to hire Gao Shiyu to work in my mansion, but who expected that he could not do it, but Gao Shiyu went to Duan Envoy Jun's military mansion, hahaha." ”
"Commonplace love."
"Chengwu, there is no problem with what you told me before, your two brothers can enter the mansion immediately, and the money is twenty yuan a month." Zhu Jun pointed at Wei Gao again and said, "But Chengwu also has to promise me that your father-in-law is now in Shudujie Town, but he can't go to Xichuan, and he has to stay in Fengxiang for me." ”
Gao Yue peeked at Wei Gao: Go, this guy secretly told me that Zhu Jun was kind and ruthless, but on the surface, he was very prosperous in Fengxiang Mansion, and he also brought his two brothers together - it seems that although this man is not happy by his father-in-law, once he has the opportunity, he is definitely also a master of climbing poles, and he is leaping upwards!
Zhu Jun sent 3,000 Fanyang cavalry to join Li Shengxing's camp, and the soldiers feasted on the muddy sheep feast in Fengxiang Mansion, and then marched high and entered the famous Chencang Road.
The first thing that catches your eye is the "Qinshu Throat" Dasanguan, at this moment it is the neighing of war horses, the autumn wind gusts, Gao Yue looks at the magnificent and steep mountain pass, and can't help but have a personal experience of Lu Fangweng's "Iron Horse Autumn Wind Dasanguan" poem - next to Dasanguan, it is a huge plateau, surrounded by deep valleys, flat and there are mountain springs gushing out on it, solid as gold soup - this is the "monk Yuan" of Wu Jue who resisted the southern invasion of the Jin army in later generations, and it is the trend of fighting each other with Dasanguan.
After entering Chencang Road from Dasanguan, the terrain narrows abruptly, one side is a high cliff, and one side is the Gudao River in the upper reaches of the Jialing River, and the army can only pass through it like a line in between. After walking to Fengzhou City, the terrain opened up again, and after a short rest in the camp, it went straight to the south.
To the south of Fengzhou City, Chencang Road becomes narrow and dangerous again along the road, and winds westward slope until Yuguan. Yuguan is the upstream terminus of Jialing water shipping, the mountain walls on both sides are like sword blades, from this southwest more than ten miles, connected with the more superb Qingniling, over this ridge can go to Qinzhou (ancient Tianshui County), so at the same time hold two roads, later generations Wu Jue will build a plug here, called "Xianren Pass", once defeated the Jin soldiers, is to protect the southern Shaanxi, Hanzhong copper wall iron wall.
Xingzhou City is the military town in the south of Yuguan: it connects Chencang Road Yuguan in the north, Qinzhou in the northwest, Wudu in the southwest, and Xingyuan (Xingyuan in Liangzhou, that is, Hanzhong) in the southeast.
Then on the road from Xingzhou to the Golden Bull Road, all the soldiers in the camp, including Gao Yue, no longer dared to ride on the plank road in the deep valley, but all dismounted and led: the soldiers, mules and horses were carrying grain and straw, quietly and slowly lined up in a long line, and walked forward. Gao Yue looked around, and couldn't help but feel dizzy, it was too high here!
Jinniu Gorge, the legend is the place where the "Wuding Mountain" took place, that is, Li Bai's "Shu Road Difficulty" in the "earth collapse mountain destroys the strong man to die, and then the ladder stone stack is hooked together" sentence, the high gorge on both sides rolls up a gust of cloudy wind, angry howl, although it has not yet entered the winter, but the wind is high Yue cold to the bone, look down, between the winding and slender canyon and river, the strange rocks are sparkling, lurking in the rapids, Li Sheng and Quhuan continue to inspire the soldiers to move forward bravely, saying that if the victory is a big victory, there will be countless rewards for returning to Beijing immediately.
After finally getting out of the Golden Bull Canyon, and finally entering the Shudi Avenue, thousands of soldiers cheered in unison, they could already stand on the high valley and look at the Sanquan Town at the bend of the mighty Jialing Water!
And the military supply institute for this expedition happened to be in Sanquan Town.
Therefore, when the Shence camp arrived at Sanquan, Xingzhou, Xingyuan, and Lizhou in the south were constantly transporting grain from waterways or plank roads to the Sanquan City Pass to hoard, and by this time it had accumulated 100,000 stones!
The soldiers of the camp immediately camped around the town pass, the stars were dense, Li Sheng, Qu Huan, Tan Zhizhong, Huo Zhongtang, Gao Yue, Meng She, and several other people on the city wall, stood on it, looked at the surrounding situation, and saw the stone statue of the old monarch carved by Xuanzong when he entered Shu on the black water cliff on the opposite bank, and couldn't help but worship one after another, begging for the victory of the old king's protection.
"Thanks to the high servants, the palace was well planned in advance, and the military academy was set up here in advance, otherwise the army would be at a loss because of the lack of food." Li Sheng and Huo Zhongtang both praised Gao Yuedao.
And in the evening, the post guards of Lizhou Prefecture governing Miangu quickly sent 100,000 urgent military information along the Chippen Post and Jiachuan Station, "Xifan hooked up with Zhuzhou Qianghu, and came from the western border of Baishui and Qiangshui from the state, and has cut off the mouth of the Bailong River and approached Miangu City!" ”
