21. The original meeting of the seven levels of the map
"Instead of scattering and trapping, it is better to choose a key place that can block several roads, build a big city, high bases and deep ditches, repair grain roads, increase horse workshops, and plough and graze, guard with strong bows and crossbows, and use good horses to ride, often with 30,000 elites to guard it, Your Majesty's 50,000 gods to live in Fengtian, Xianyang as the rear refusal, and to the northwest towns as horns. If this Xiaofan comes to 100,000 can be refused, come to 50,000 can be swallowed, and the cost of 170,000 of the Kwantung Autumn Soldiers can be dismissed, and this money is used to renovate the armament and reward the soldiers, then the border army is becoming more and more vigorous. ”
Gao Yue's words were actually very touching to the emperor: when the enemy has blocked your door, and you are still there to talk about what a precious theory of peace in exchange for "strategic defense", it is completely ridiculous, just as Gao Yue said - your house keys are in the hands of others, you have been a turtle for 10,000 years, and the wealth you have accumulated and looted makes you rich, it is useless, and the barbaric and backward neighbors can go straight to your house at any time, knock you to the ground rich but weak, rape your wife and daughter, and rob you of all your money, In fact, even the people of insight in the Song Dynasty always understood the strategic significance of Tuobian Hehuang.
Hexi and Longyou, the so-called Helong or Hehuang region, have always been an important barrier to the west of Gyeonggi, it is the Tang Dynasty or the "West Gate" of the Middle Earth regime, as long as the passes and military states are recovered, then the entire offensive and defensive situation of Tang and Xifan can be reversed, Tang no longer has to passively defend the various passages of Gyeonggi, but also can reduce huge military expenses for autumn prevention, and can concentrate on competing with Xifan for the narrow Hexi Corridor.
Because it is thousands of miles long, the Hexi Corridor sandwiched between the Qilian Mountains, Longshou Mountain, Heli Mountains and many large deserts is very narrow and long (now you can have an intuitive feeling by looking at the map of Gansu Province), like a flat shoulder, the east provokes Gyeonggi Guanzhong, and the west provokes the rich and rich Western Regions, the shape is absolutely like a huge dumbbell.
Like a string of pearls, there are more than 20 military states listed in this corridor one by one, the most important of which are Qin, Wei, Lan, Tao, and then further west, in the middle of the corridor, there are Liang, Gan, Su, Gua, Shashu Prefecture, and once the last important town of the corridor Shazhou (Dunhuang), the door to the Western Regions can be opened!
This corridor, the pressure of guarding, is now no less than the former owner of the Tang Dynasty.
And then, under Han Yun's "questioning", Gao Yue continued to say that the specific construction location of the big city was actually an enhanced version of the original Yuan Zai plan:
"To restore Longyou, restore Longshan first, restore Longshan, and restore Longshan, the top priority is to restore the seven passes of Yuanzhou. What are the seven levels? Shimen, Muxia, Liupan, Victory, Yizang, Mujing, Shixia also. Among the seven passes, and to six plates, win two passes as the most important, you can choose 40,000 officials, prepare 500,000 rice, enter the west of Pingliang Zheng Gorge, Pan Yuan to build a big city, the front choke six plates, win the second pass, after covering Pingliang a county. Although the boundary of Yuanzhou is a bitter cold land with many frosts and snows, but the pasture is more, Pingliang County can be cultivated again, the city is built, with 30,000 soldiers to hold on, 10,000 soldiers grazing in the Pingliang camp, the northwest, Shannanxi, Guanzhong with grain as the backup, then go north, along the Hulu River and Xiaofan to fight for the solid plain, now the land of Yuanzhou is barren, Xiaofan abandoned, all the elite troops are gathered in the west of Guyuan to destroy the sand castle (now Ningxia Guyuan City, Yuanzhou District, Kaicheng Town, Haizixia Gorge North Mouth East Terrace, the locals call it 'Jiaozan City', call Muxia Pass ' Mengliang City', I don't know how), the garrison in the fort is supplied, and Xiaofan also needs to travel long distances from Helong to arrive with calves, so the two are fighting, and Fan is really not as good as me. Once the solid plain is allocated, destroy the sand castle, you can restore the state seven passes, divide the troops to defend, solid as a rock, and so on to break the small fan a shin, then two or three years later, step by step for the battalion, to the north can be the big river, the old Xiaoguan, Mingsha, Zhongwei, and Lingwu five cities for each other situation, and then the resumption of the state, heavy according to Longli - then I Tang can be divided into three road army, all the way out of the original meeting, all the way out of Fengxiang, Longzhou, all the way from Sanchuan out of Wuzhou, Ke period siege Qinzhou, showing a pinching and diving trend, the river Longguang is expected to recover! ”
"Hmm." The emperor bowed his head, and then he asked a question, "However, the original two states are deserted, and the army is difficult to fight and lose, and if it is lost, the country will be in danger." ”
At this moment, the eastern capital stayed behind Jia Tan to leave the class, "Your Majesty, the ministers have painted it, and the terrain, obstacles, passages, and wells and springs of the original and meeting places are all in it. With this map, the general of the city building army can follow the map. ”
The emperor was overjoyed, so he wanted to reward Jia Tan.
At this time, Zhang Yansheng and Yan Zhen were difficult: "Your Majesty, Jia Dunshi is a talented cartographer, and the ministers do not doubt it, but Helong has been lost to Xifan for a long time, and it is difficult to know for sure that it was suppressed in the old days." Jia Dunshi has never inspected it on the spot, so as to guide the army to move, which is almost child's play. ”
Jia Tan immediately retorted fiercely: "In this world, there is nothing difficult to do, only the heart of not doing it. Your Majesty, why did Gao Shaoyin say just now, like Sakagami Walking Pill? It is precisely because he has read the records of the Yellow River in Xibo by his ministers. ”
At this time, there was another exclamation in the hall.
It's just a matter of memorizing scriptures and classics, and being able to memorize boring maps of mountains and rivers like Gao Yue shows that he has worked hard.
Under the pillars over there, Hanlin Scholar Zheng Qi sighed slightly, twisted his face back, and said in his heart: "Actually, his original intention has never changed. ”
Then Jia Tan said: "In order to draw these two pictures, merchants, chiefs, generals, and elders, but those who enter our court have not been interviewed carefully, in order to eliminate the false and retain the truth." The number of miles and the number of people in the armies of the states, and the head-to-end sources of the mountains and rivers, can not only be referred to in the map, but also can be omitted by the notes. ”
At this moment, Shaanxi Yu observed that Li Yu also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, if you can build a city in Pingliang, the ministers have a strategy, and you can weaken the power of Xifan, and you will seek everything." ”
Li Sheng also said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to dump the whole town of Xichuan and respond to the great cause of recovering Helong." ”
Han Yun even wanted to make a final decision: "The Xifan thieves have a river for a long time. Since the beginning of the calendar, the country has been in many difficulties, so it has wantonly invaded its ranks. In recent years, the soldiers of Xifan have been weak, the west is forced to eat strongly, the north is sick and the people are back to Hui, the east has the defense of Nanzhao, counting it outside the town, the people who stay in Helong are only fifty or sixty thousand, after the city of Yuanzhou is built, if the country orders the three-way army, such as Yunliang general, the army of 100,000 will be driven for a long time, followed by Liang, Wei, Tao, Shanzhou and build a big city, each with 30,000 elites, so that more than 20 states of Helong, the recovery can be enough to wait also. The ministers are willing to use the funds stored in the right way to transfer and feed, so that the army is not lacking! ”
"Your Majesty, it has only been a year since Hefan, and the country has not yet recovered, at the cost of breaking the good situation, driving the children of all towns into the land of ten thousand deaths, and the wish of inviting merit and favor with the ......marshal" Before Zhang Yanxian's obstruction was finished, Han Rong stood up angrily and accused Zhang Yansheng: "You are so quiet and empty, so that Gyeonggi is starving all over the field, and you really do a good job!" ”
"You!" Zhang Yansheng immediately became angry.
