Chapter 123: Traces

Early in the morning, in the northwest direction of Guangtongcang, Weiqu reeds swinged, and Yu Wenwen, who looked tired, sat on the stone and gnawed on dry food, and only the last dry food he carried when he set off was gone, and it was gone after eating. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was a large group of soldiers sitting around him, but under the cover of the reeds, it was impossible to see that there were people inside from a distance, and this was also the hiding place that Yuwen Wen planned to hide.

Guangtongcang is located in the south of the mouth of the Yellow River in Weishui, of course, the Weikou moved south in later generations, the ruins of Guangtongcang are in the north of Weishui later, after the surprise attack was successful in the early hours of this morning, Yuwenwen led the Hulin army to cross the Weishui, and came to hide in the Weiqu area at the junction of Wei and Luo.

In the original history, Guangtongcang (also known as Yongfeng Cang) was one of the eight warehouses of the Sui State, and the Luokou Cang (Xingluocang) occupied by the heroes of Wagang at the end of the Sui Dynasty was also one of them, and these eight warehouses accumulated countless grains, which are said to have been stored for decades after the turbulent times at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the establishment of Li Tang.

Yu Wenwen felt a little strange that the grain storage period in this year is generally three or five years, and it has to be properly preserved with the shell, and what kind of grain can be eaten after decades of storage, which is really intriguing.

However, this has nothing to do with him, at this time, the Guangtong warehouse, because the Sui State failed to unify Jiangbei, the grain storage is not so exaggerated, but it also hoarded a lot, which was originally a "special supply" to Chang'an, and now it is the logistics base of the Sui army.

The Guangtong warehouse is finished, and the Sui army outside Chang'an City is facing the danger of running out of food, so it can only be transported from other places, but where else can it be sent from?

There is no need to think about Shudi, there is a fierce battle in the Luozhou area, and the military rations of the Sui army in Luozhou may not be surplus, so they can only transport grain from Hedong to Guanzhong on the west bank through Pujin, and then take the land route to Chang'an, but where can so much food be mobilized in a hurry?

This is still just a "technical problem", Guangtong warehouse was burned, and it was the military spirit of the Sui army that was directly hit, the supply of grain and grass could not be supplied, and the elite soldiers who could fight would be finished, not to mention that most of the generals of the Sui army now have ghosts in their hearts, once the situation is not good, the grass on the wall will instantly turn into "loyal ministers anyway".

Hmph, Yuwen warmly burned Guangtong Cang, it's hard to leave a name in the history books!

He couldn't help but frown when he thought of this, and the dry and unpalatable dry food was also eaten, while Zhang Yu was on the side with other soldiers, using small cloth bags to pack food.

Where does the food come from? Guangtong Cangbei, Yu Wenwen, who was about to run out of food, was not brain-dead, and while setting fire to the granary, he asked people to pack some corn as a follow-up military ration.

Then the question arises again: how can you cook without a kettle or urn without a kettle or urn and without cooking utensils?

Well, hey...

"Lord Lang, what are you laughing at?"

Zhang Yu interrupted Yu Wenwen's distraction at the right time, don't report to Fifth Brother Chen, saying that there was no abnormality in the surrounding vigilance, and the previous group of resting soldiers had already taken a nap, and now it was their turn.

Where can Yu Wenwen sleep, now he is immersed in the joy of the night attack, and his mood is a little excited, so he talks more: "Do you know where this is?" ”

"Isn't it called Weiqu?"

"No, no, there is a name here, it's called Shayuan, do you know the battle of Shayuan?"

The Battle of Shayuan, a battle that would change history if the slightest change in the tide of battle took place in this area exactly fifty years ago.

At that time, the Eastern and Western Wei confronted each other, and the Eastern Wei Prime Minister Gao Huan led the army to attack the Western Wei, crossed the Yellow River and landed on the west bank of Pujin to enter the pass, and the troops pointed to Chang'an, which was 300 miles away, with nearly 200,000 troops.

Yu Wentai, the prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, led the army to attack, and the strength was only 10,000, but he had no way to retreat, and personally led the troops to have fewer enemies and more enemies, and the two sides fought in this Weiqu.

There are large reeds in Weiqu, during which it is muddy and difficult to walk, the Western Wei army is set up with its back, the main force is hidden in the reeds, and a part of the troops is divided to lure the enemy, as a result, the Eastern Wei army is rash and the enemy rushes forward, chasing the "defeated soldiers" into the reeds and encountering an ambush.

In the Battle of Shayuan, the Western Wei army annihilated and incorporated more than 80,000 Eastern Wei troops with one enemy and ten, and countless grain and grass weapons were obtained. The weak Western Wei regime was consolidated, and this battle is also known in history.

Listening to Yu Wenwen's introduction, everyone suddenly realized, look at the large reeds around, it is indeed a good place to hide soldiers, if the enemy is really easy to ambush, especially the cavalry, rushing into this can not be used at all.

However, Fifth Brother Chen had doubts: "Guogong, it is said that Qi Shenwu is also a person who has fought many battles, so he didn't have any suspicions about this reed?" Don't the generals around him remind him? ”

"The advantage in strength is too great, and he no longer takes the Western Wei army in his eyes."

"But... Well, if you set a fire and burn the reeds, wouldn't it be once and for all? ”

He wanted to do so, but some people said that he was afraid of burning, and he couldn't identify Yuwen... Taizu's body can't be captured alive in order to tell the world. ”

"Oh..."Fifth Brother Chen nodded, but then an idea popped up in his heart.

In case the Sui army came to search this reed, I was afraid that an ambush would simply light a fire...

。。。。。。

On the north bank of Weishui, a large group of Sui troops is advancing, leading the troops is Li Hun, the assassin of Tongzhou, last night Guangtongcang was attacked, the flames soared, and the direction of Tongzhou could also be faintly seen, but the incident happened in a hurry, and he did not have time to immediately send reinforcements.

Tongzhou is located in the northeast of Chang'an, the location is important, after Li Hun arranged the defense, he rushed to Guangtongcang with soldiers and horses in the early morning, but not long after leaving the city, he had to report urgently: Guangtongcang was burned beyond recognition.

It's over, the grain and grass are gone, and the officers and soldiers of Chang'an are afraid that they will be in turmoil, and they will not be able to attack Chang'an, and there will be no way to avenge their brothers!

After the Zhou army invaded Chang'an, the Li clan who stayed in the city was killed, and some servants escaped from the city to cry in Tongzhou.

His father Li Mu supported Yang Jian as emperor and was named Taishi, so the Li family was full of wealth, and it was precisely because of this that the Zhou State would not let go of the Li family, if the reason is concerned, it is indeed the Li family who abandoned the Yuwen family, but this is not the reason for him Li Hun to give up revenge.

But there is a breath of air, and he will definitely kill Yu Wenliang and his son alive!

Li Hun, who was full of revenge, gave up the idea of reinforcing Guangtongcang, and now what he wants to do is to catch the culprit who attacked Guangtongcang.

Li Hun judged that this strange army should have crossed the Qinling Mountains and drilled out of a certain pass between Huashan County and Tongguan, and it was very likely that the other party would not have the same way back, because the garrison in the direction of Tongguan was very close to Guangtongcang.

The reinforcements from the direction of Huazhou should also arrive quickly, if this Zhou army retreats south by the original road, it will encounter the official army on the way, and no such news has been received yet.

What does this mean? It shows that the other party has fled north!

The north of Guangtongcang is Weishui, after passing Weishui, the northeast is Pujin and there is a garrison, even if the other party grabs the boat in Pujin, there is nowhere to run: the east of the river is still the boundary of the Sui State, if you want to go down the river, to the Sanmenxia Zhushan River Basin in Shaanzhou, the boat will capsize.

So after the Zhou army passed through Weishui... It's the Weiqu hiding in front of you!

Li Hun looked at the large reeds on the north bank of Weishui and thoughtfully swayed, the reeds were luxuriant, and it was difficult to see if there were people hiding inside, and this place was not unfamiliar to him.

In the Battle of Shayuan fifty years ago, his father Li Mu made great achievements with Zhou Taizu Yuwentai fighting to kill the enemy, and the scene at that time, his father also talked about it many times later.

"If Gao Huan burned the reeds back then, he would be buried in the fire for his father."

Father's words echoed in his ears, Li Hun looked at the direction of the swing of the reeds, and found that the spring breeze was rising, blowing from the south to the north, he sneered and immediately ordered: "Set fire, burn the reeds!" (To be continued.) )
