16. Dock fort defense line

Hearing Guo Yan suddenly say that Xu Kun saw the fierceness of these Huns tonight, he would be frightened, and he didn't dare to go deep into the enemy territory and attack the lair of the thieves. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhang Ji raised his eyebrows, he also recalled in his mind the double reed played by Li Dao and his brothers, nephews, and nephews in the big tent during the day, and connected with tonight's events, while admiring it in his heart, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened by Li Dao's methods.

Li Wei has always been partial to his own people, this time he gave such a big peach to Xu Kun, and indeed there are some considerations in his heart, if Xu Kun can succeed in the surprise attack, then the white wave thief Kou's rear grain and grass hoarding place is attacked, and the soldiers must have no heart to fight, he just led the troops to chase and destroy the enemy army, and fight a big victory, and if Xu Kun's surprise attack fails, with his meritorious energy, I am afraid that he can also attract the attention of the white wave thieves to the greatest extent, and the worst can also attract some of the Hun cavalry. Create a chance for him to break through the encirclement of the main force of the White Wave Thieves and rescue Niu Fu who is deeply encircled.

No matter what the victory or defeat of this strange army, Li Dao, who sits firmly in the Chinese army, is the beneficiary, as for whether Xu Kun's uncle will hate Li Dao afterwards, this is not what Li Dao needs to worry about at the moment, anyway, the young man who made meritorious contributions during the day can no longer stand the agitation of the generals, and has made a military order, this adventure and surprise attack and division of troops is a certainty, even if he wants to escape, Li Dao will not give him a chance.

"Xu Jiaerlang is brave and commendable, how can he be a cowardly person, Lao Guo, you don't want to talk nonsense, I have already ordered that all the armies should return to the camp to rectify the men and horses, count the casualties, and prepare for tomorrow's march!"

Li Ji had no intention of having a deep talk with Guo Yan and Zhang Ji on this matter, he waved his hand and wanted everyone to return to the camp. Guo Yan also deliberately wanted to stay and asked Li Wei a few more words, but Li Wei looked like he was business-like, and he didn't want to say much about letting Xu Kun divide his troops this time.

···

When the smell of blood wafting in the dark night gradually dissipated with the wind, and the daytime sun shone on the earth again, it was frequently mentioned by the three captains at night, and Xu Kun, the party who had their own thoughts about the three of them, came to Li Dao again as if nothing happened, Li Dao originally thought that this young man was frightened by the fierceness of the Huns last night, and wanted to escape from the battle, so he came to him to intercede.

Unexpectedly, Xu Kun became more and more energetic, and the two things he talked about were also unrelated to intercession, the first thing was naturally to hope that Li Dao would lead the troops to leave first, and Xu Kun would take five hundred light horsemen to delay his movements, and after the attention of the nearby Baibo and Huns' spies and scouts also followed Li Dao's army to leave, Xu Kun led the troops to set off immediately, hide their whereabouts, detour to the frontal battlefield of Linfen, and go to the Baibo Valley to surprise attack.

This matter was originally agreed, and it was also in line with Li Wei's intentions, and he didn't want Xu Kun, a useful chess piece, to be directly killed by the Huns before it played a role, so he immediately nodded and promised.

And the second thing in Li Wei's opinion, is not only a trivial matter, but also a little nosy, Xu Kun actually came to intercede for a group of detained people from Anyi yesterday, asking Li Wei to let them return safely to their lives. Although Li Wei was unhappy in his heart, he was about to use his life to break the situation for him at this time, and it was not easy to refuse Xu Kun's request, it happened that there were many wounded soldiers in the army last night, and they had lost their combat effectiveness, and they couldn't go to the battlefield, and they couldn't even do miscellaneous work if they stayed in the army, wasting the food that was already in short supply. Li Dao simply ordered these people to escort the wounded soldiers back to Anyi, and no longer let the generals in the army investigate the responsibility of these detained people.

Li Wei responded to Xu Kun's request, Xu Kun was naturally happy, and everything was over, so he said goodbye and left. After he left, Li Wei looked at the direction he left with a complicated expression, thought for a while, and directly ordered all battalions and armies to go north to rescue Linfen.

···

After the army of Li Dao and others marched north to leave Jingri, the sky was gray, and Xu Kun, Yan Xing and others, who had hidden their whereabouts, took their soldiers and horses to bypass the official road to the north and rushed to Baibo Valley in a roundabout way.

Hedong, Hanoi and Henan are all horns of each other, the Tang people are Hedong, the Yin people are Hanoi, and the Zhou people are Henan, all of which have been famous since ancient times. However, with the change of times, the pattern of the land of the three rivers has become different.

Among them, the land of Henan, as the capital of this dynasty, the defense is the most important and tight, after the perfect garrison of the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties, there are eight most important passes built around Luoyang, guarding the passage to Luoyang everywhere. In the first year of Zhongping, although the Yellow Turban Rebellion swept half of the Han Empire, and even among the Beijing Divisions of Luoyang, there were traces of the Yellow Turban's rebellion and misdeeds, but after Emperor Ling ordered to send the general He Jin to lead troops to guard the eight passes of Luoyang, the city of Luoyang gradually stabilized.

Although the geographical location of Hedong and Hanoi is not much different from that of Luoyang, the artificially operated defense line is not as comprehensive as that of Henan. Although there are large rivers as defense lines to the west of Hedong and south of Hanoi, the rivers are thousands of miles away, and they are not completely dangerous and impassable, and Hedong and Hanoi, as the shelter barrier of Henan, where Kyoto is located, will still suffer from external threats, but fortunately, they can only block the first wave of attacks from foreign invaders for Henan, which is surrounded by water.

When the emperor of this dynasty, the Qiang rebellion that could not be pacified for a long time became more and more intense, the officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court were repeatedly defeated, and the large-scale Qiang rebellion finally broke out, the scope not only affected Liangzhou and Sanfu, but also the cavalry of the Qiang nationality drank the horse river, "the east invaded Zhao and Wei, and the south entered Yizhou, killing the Hanzhong Taishou...... Kou Qian Sanfu, cut off Longdao. The world was shaken.

In February of the fifth year of Yongchu, the first zero Qiang Kou River east, then to Hanoi, the people were shocked, and they ran to the Nandu River. Qianghu's cavalry looked at the palace on the other side of the river across the river, and frightened the people of Hedong and Hanoi to flee south to cross the river.

In this regard, "the people of Erqianshi, Ling, and Changduo Nei counties have no intention of defending the war, and they all compete to migrate to the county to avoid refuge." Because most of the officials in various places were from the inner counties, and they did not have the idea of defending the land and being loyal, they abandoned the land and fled, and the Han court had no choice but to deal with the invasion of the Qiang people, and the countermeasure was to relocate the border people and build the Wubao defense line in the interior.

On the one hand, the imperial court issued an edict "Longxi migrates to Xiangwu, settles and migrates to Meiyang, the north migrates to Chiyang, and the county migrates to the Ya." "Abandoning and shrinking the territory of Liangzhou, and in the process of migrating, in order to clear the wilderness and cut off the people from fleeing back to their hometowns, the situation of being used by the Qiang people appeared, and the officials in charge of migration adopted a series of barbaric and violent acts of "Liu Qihe's crops, through the chambers, razing the camp walls, and breaking the accumulation", which caused the people to be displaced and die along the way, and the suffering they endured even exceeded that of the Qiang rebellion.

This policy not only did not help to curb the "Qiang Rebellion", but also pushed the vast majority of the homeless people to the opposite side of the Han Empire. Du Qi, a native of Hanyang, his younger brother Jigong, and Wang Xin, a native of the same county, rose up one after another, uniting the soldiers and horses of the Qiang people, which further fueled the momentum of the Qiang rebellion.

The huge negative impact caused by this "abandonment of Liangzhou" also made the people of Liangzhou realize the indifference of the imperial court, intensified the centrifugal force between Liangzhou and the center of the Han court, and repeatedly abandoned the counties in the west and north, so that the northwest border of the Han Empire gradually moved southeast under the invasion of Rong Di.

On the other hand, the Han court also made the Northern Army Hou Zhu Pet General five battalions of Shitun Mengjin, Zhao Wei County, Zhao State, Changshan, Zhongshan and 616 docks. Subsequently, a dock fort was set up in Hanoi County and the main road of transportation, "In the spring of the first year of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, troops were sent to Tun Hanoi, and there were 33 places in Tonggu Chong, all of which were made as dock walls and drums. "Plus" in the autumn of the third year of the early Yuan Dynasty, 500 waiting docks in the northern boundary of Feng Xu were built. ”

Add "Yonghe five years, Qiang rebelled again, Dakou Jincheng, Sanfu, so the Jingshi near the county and the states of the army to fight...... 100,000 people tun Hanyang, and 300 dock walls in Fufeng, Hanyang, and Longdao."

A defense line from west to east, stretching for thousands of miles, guards the center of Luoyang, Henan.

It is said that "Qin Shi Mingyue Han Shi Pass", when later generations talked about Qin and Han dynasties, they only talked about the fierceness of the Qin and Han people's customs, and the Great Wall that defended the northern border of the country. After Yan Xing arrived here, he gradually learned that at the end of the Qin and Han dynasties, the Han Empire had also spent people's power to build a dock fort defense line that also stretched for thousands of miles in the territory of the empire.

Because Kyoto is in Henan, the defense line of Hedong and Hanoi is the most important, and the distribution of dock forts is also the most dense. The Han Empire built a defensive belt north of Luoyang, along the transportation point of Hadong County and Hanoi County. This defense belt is roughly distributed along Dongyuan County, Pingyin, Yixian, Qinyang, and Wude, and is roughly the same as the Heluo Road from Hedong County to the Heluo Plain in the south or the Hejian Road to the east to Hejian Kingdom, covering several important military fortresses in Hedong and Hanoi, and its importance to the defense of the northern part of Luoyang and the Kwantung states is self-evident.

Nowadays, Yan Xing and others are riding horses and galloping on the land east of the river, this officially built dock fort defense line has collapsed with the decline of the country, and is on the verge of abandonment, but instead, it is the dock fort of various local heroes, they stand on this piece of land ravaged by the White Polish army, like a ball of hedgehog meat, revealing a thorny appearance, alert to the approach of all outsiders.

Yan Xing rode his horse and ran on the road, looking at a dock fort standing between the narrow valleys he passed, thinking of these sighing and regretful past events, the block in his heart suddenly turned into a long sigh.
