Chen general Wang Zhongxuan led his troops out of Wuzhi Village, heading northeast, in front of them was a stretch of hills, between the dense woods there is an ancient road, the locals call it "Wuzhi Road", is in addition to the Da Yuling Road, another road between Lingnan and Jiangzhou.

It is the common name of the Lingnan people for the deep mountain trail, and the "Wu" in the Wu Ji is called "Wu Ji" because this road shuttles through the dark and deep in the mountains and forests, and the village at the exit of the west end is named Wu Ji Village.

Wuji Road starts from Xinxi and Wuji in the west, passes through Tianxin, Songmutang, Hezikeng, Yazikou, Shijiwei and other villages, and reaches Jiudu Village in Nankang County, Jiangzhou in the northeast, with a total length of about 70 miles, and the whole journey takes about three days.

Jiudu is located on the bank of Jiudu water, where the boat goes down the river to the east for a few miles and then enters Taoshui, Taoshui flows all the way north and finally enters Ganshui, this waterway takes about four days to complete.

The boat can go down the river when it enters the Gan water, it is not far to arrive at the county of Nankang County to govern the Gan County, the water and land of the Wuji Road are connected, there is no deep mountain and mountain barrier, it is better to walk than the big Yuling Road, but the distance is several times more, so it is not as famous as the big Yuling Road.

It is precisely because of this that there is no official repair of Wuzhi Road, it is completely opened up by the villagers along the way, and after hundreds of years of vicissitudes, a small road was formed between the hills and woods, which is a bit bumpy and difficult for the army to march, but for Wang Zhongxuan and his subordinates, it is not a problem at all.

Wang Zhongxuan is a slang handsome, and his subordinates are all slang, and they are good at walking in the mountains and forests, so they can't stop them.

Attacked Ganxian County through Wuzhi Road, copied the back road of the Zhou army in Da Yuling, and burned down the granary of Ganxian County with a fire, making a great contribution?

The idea is good, but the probability of success is very low, Wang Zhongxuan is not so stupid, and Wang Meng, the governor of the capital, is not a gambler who is addicted to gambling, and the reason why Wang Zhongxuan was sent to take the Wujing Road is to prevent the Zhou army from sneaking attack.

If the Zhou army wants to take the Wuzhi Road from Ganxian County through Ganshui, Taoshui, and Jiudu, it will be time-consuming and laborious, but if you take another ancient road, it can save at least half of the distance, and what Chen Jun wants to guard against is that the other party takes the trail: Longchuan Ancient Road.

This ancient road, according to legend, is the Qin and Han dynasties of Nanyue King Zhao Tuo took office as the road of Longchuan Ling, that is from the south of the northern foot of the Great Yu Ridge, to the southeast over the mountains, and finally come to the vicinity of Jiudu to take a boat into Taoshui, and then go upstream, over the mountains, and then take the waterway to reach Longchuan.

The Longchuan Ancient Road is not as famous as the Wuzhi Road, and it is a small road created by the people, but it is indeed a path that exists, and it can travel to and from the north and south feet of the Dayu Mountains.

The intersection of the two roads is in Jiudu, that is to say, once the Zhou army has local mountain people as guides, it is very likely to take the Longchuan Ancient Road through Jiudu to Wuji Road, and enter the boundary of Anyuan County from the northeast.

And the Longchuan Ancient Road and the north starting point of the Great Yuling Road are very close, the Great Yuling Road is to the south over the mountain range, directly to the southern foot of the Great Yu Ridge, and the Longchuan Ancient Road is to the southeast over the Great Yu Ridge, if the Zhou army takes the Longchuan Ancient Road, can achieve the purpose of flanking the southern foot of the Great Yu Ridge.

Therefore, Wang Meng, the governor of the capital, ordered Wang Zhongxuan to lead his troops from Wuji to Jiudu and set up camp, as the outpost of the Wuzhi Chen military camp, defeat it when it encounters a small group of elite Zhou troops, and warn Wuzhi when it encounters a large number of Zhou troops, so that the garrison has enough time to arrange defenses.

In other words, Wang Zhongxuan is a watchdog, his duty is to run out of the village to guard the door, and when he sees people, he barks to warn the village.

Therefore, Wang Zhongxuan does not intend to be stupid and be a dog, and at this time when the situation is unpredictable, he must plan carefully in order to obtain greater benefits.

Wang Meng and other generals of the Chen State army called the Zhou army who invaded the south as the northern captives, but in the eyes of the locals in Lingnan, why was the Chen Guoguan army not the northern captives?

As long as it is north of Wuling, all of them are Beiyu!

As a slangman, Wang Zhongxuan knew that he was the same as other generals, assassins, and taishou who were born chiefs and cave masters, and in the eyes of the Jiankang court, they were all "Southern Barbarians" and were not trustworthy, so they were used as dogs, either hunting dogs or watchdogs.

Not to mention anything else, Ma Jing, the assassin of Guangzhou who was defeated and arrested a few years ago, was because he had been in Guangzhou for many years and won the hearts of the slang people everywhere, but he was suspected of self-reliance by the Jiankang court for no reason, and then sent troops to arrest him back to Jiankang.

The chiefs of the Lingnan states saw it in their eyes, and they only felt that it was not a taste in their hearts, and the horse envoys who were willing to be good to them were arrested, what did that mean? It means that the Jiankang court says one thing and does another.

They keep saying that they want to treat them as their own, but in reality?

Ma Zhijun, who was willing to treat the Lingnan chieftain as his own person, was unlucky, and Chen Fangqing, the successor of the Guangzhou assassin history, became indifferent to the chiefs.

Now Wang Meng wants to lead the troops to meet the northern captives, kill two surnamed Chen, and beat his fellow brother to bruises all over his body in accordance with military law, if it were not for this, Wang Zhongxuan and other generals from chieftains, assassins, and Taishou would not want to follow Wang Meng to fight hard.

The Jiankang court called the enemy country north of the Yangtze River the Beiyu, and in the eyes of Wang Zhongxuan, these disgruntled Lingnan chieftains, the Jiankang court was also a northern captive, and the northern captives fought for the control of Lingnan, how stupid would they be to play for others.

If you win, it's someone else's dog, if you lose, or someone else's dog, a good person doesn't do it and goes to be a dog, how cheap do they be?

Hundreds of years ago, the Central Plains Qin Dynasty guarded Lingnan a big official named Zhao Tuo, taking advantage of the war in the Central Plains, divided his troops to guard the Wuling Gate, closed the door to establish the Nanyue Kingdom in Lingnan to be the king, free and happy, Wang Zhongxuan felt that he could plan it.

Want to learn from Zhao Tuo to build the country and be a king? That's too difficult, not to mention that there are more powerful chieftains in Lingnan, and it won't be his turn Wang Zhongxuan, so he has to change the way.

What Chen Guo and Zhou Guo are all Beiyu anyway, Lingnan affairs are better discussed by the chieftains themselves, and their own territory is their own decision, Beiguo, don't want to meddle in Lingnan affairs!

Lingnan is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, and it is not easy for the Central Plains army to come once, as long as you resist the Wuling Gateway, there will be a good feeling for the other party.

There is a lot of tossing, and the Central Plains Imperial Court will definitely not be able to stand sending the army back and forth, so everyone will say some soft words, expressing their willingness to serve the Central Plains Imperial Court as the main monarch, that is, to call the vassal, and give face to the Central Plains Emperor, and the lining is what their Lingnan chieftains will take.

He then tried to take Guangzhou as a territory, guarding the state of Panyu to live, relying on the treasures transported by overseas merchants, the profits after changing hands were enough to feed many soldiers, with these soldiers as the backing, with Guangzhou as the family business, enough to benefit the children and grandchildren.

The forest was dark and dark, and the sunlight shone through the dense canopy and sprinkled on the moss-covered path, Wang Zhongxuan looked at the mottled ground in front of him, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Wang Meng asked him to work hard with Beiyu, he wouldn't be stupid to fight hard, if the Zhou army couldn't cross the Great Yuling, how could he muddy the water in Lingnan?

If the water is not muddy, how can I fish in muddy waters?
