Hongnong is the Hangu Pass of the old Qin, the old Hangu Pass of the Han Dynasty, it looks uncomfortable, but this is the case.

If you get the pass and control here, you only need a small number of troops to be stationed here, you can hold it without losing, and then focus on improving the national strength, store troops and accumulate food, wait for the time, and when the time comes, you will be invincible when you go out.

During the pre-Qin and Warring States periods, no matter whether the six countries attacked Qin or the five countries fought for victory, they all collapsed under the Hangu Pass, ambushing millions of corpses and bleeding. However, Qin's attack on the Central Plains was as overwhelming as Mount Tai, and there was no way to prevent it. On the contrary, if the six countries of the Central Plains and Kwantung get here, it will be easy to take 800 miles of Qinchuan as easily, like probing for things, and there is nothing to defend.

Looking at the ruined city wall in front of him now, Fu Quan secretly sighed, no one could have imagined that thousands of years ago, the Xiongguan in the hearts of the people in the pass, now only the city wall is standing, but it can no longer restore the former momentum, which is really embarrassing.

There is such a saying in the Han Dynasty, which is widely spread, saying that Yang Fushu, the general of the Western Han Dynasty, has made great contributions, and is ashamed to be a foreigner, and he begs to migrate to Dongguan, and gives it a degree with family wealth, and Emperor Wu is also very broad, so he migrated to Xin'an and went to Hongnong for 300 miles.

Fuquan boasts that he now reads the history of the military, and knows that this theory is ridiculous, how clear Emperor Wu is, indulging in the army, exhausting the national strength left by the second emperor Wenjing, but he will not be greedy for money from his ministers because of this matter and make this order, the reason why this is so is that there is a reason for the change of national policy.

After the founding of the Han Dynasty, the capital was Chang'an, on the grounds that Guanzhong could "block three sides and defend the princes on one side." "Because of the early Han Dynasty divided the king with a different surname, the state has a big trouble, must not be prevented, and later with the Han Gaozu bird all the bow hidden, the rabbit died and the dog cooked, all the kings were defeated, and then there was a "non-Liu family and the king, the world hit it together" of the white horse alliance, with the prince to guard the land, but there was a rebellion of the seven countries.

And the root cause of the chaos in the early Han Dynasty was that the imperial court could only control Guanzhong, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a man of great talent, so he naturally thought about it. Because the foundation of the Han Dynasty is in Guanzhong, and the boundary between Guanzhong and Guandong is in Hangu Pass, therefore, moving the border to the east for 300 miles is to expand the border Guanzhong. In addition, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the territory was no longer a Warring States pattern, and the Great Han State enjoyed the land of Kyushu, so there was no need to rely on the danger of Cuihan and the fortress of the peach forest, but it was necessary to strengthen the control of the eastern part of the country, and the Xinhan Valley Pass, which was only a few dozen miles away from Luoyang, was born for this.

However, word of mouth, the whole world has accumulated falsehood, the three of them have become tigers, and public opinion is hard to curse, this strategic move of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has achieved the face of Yang Fu, and it is also impermanent, and it is very difficult to figure out.

Stationed in Hongnong, it was already evening, for the sake of military discipline, to prevent soldiers from entering the city is difficult to control, and not to expose the fact that the number of soldiers exceeds the standard, the army is convenient for camping outside the city.

Fu Quan entered the city with Duan Cheng and visited the officials of Hongnong, although he was the main general in this battle, but Duan Cheng's reputation was too great, and Fu Quan did not dare to really put on the official prestige and command Duan Cheng, so he had been treated politely, but he had never seen Duan Cheng any dissatisfaction. Although Duan Cheng said that he was extremely tactically superior in military affairs and could not see the situation clearly politically, he at least understood what Fu Quan meant, and at the same time, because he was now switching to his relatives, in the case of Fu Quan treating him so politely, he was also respectful to Fu Quan, and the two were quite harmonious, and there was no such thing as Fu Quan expected, Duan Cheng was reluctant to himself because of the face of the emperor and his relatives.

After entering the city, after seeing the officials of Hongnong, Fuquan asked the officials of Hongnong to prepare wine and meat to treat the army, there are Duan Gong and Fuquan are there, the officials of Hongnong naturally dare not slack off, and the army of the Han army is gathered with wine and meat that night, so that the soldiers are happy, and after passing through the ancient road of Cuihan, the emotions of not being able to enter Hongnong to rest are all swept away.

Of course, the soldiers have wine and meat, and Fu Quan and Duan Cheng will naturally not be lacking, and the Hongnong officials directly held a banquet in the county office to welcome the two of them, and then exchanged for countless musicians to accompany them, and they were also happy for a while. As the night deepened, both Duan Cheng and Fu Quan politely refused the request of the officials in the city to stay overnight, and the two rode out of the city together, with dozens of knights behind them closely guarding.

"Why didn't Rukawa stay overnight in Hongnong? There are many Hongnong families, and the female dancers trained all have posture skills, and the young people are lonely in the military tent on a cold night, isn't it self-suffering? ”

On the way, Duan Cheng rarely joked with Fu Quan, and seemed to be very curious that Fu Quan could remain calm in the face of so many beautiful girls at the banquet, and did not accept the invitation of those Hongnong officials to stay overnight. Of course, because both of them are candidates, and Duan Cheng himself is the Marquis of Xinfeng County, who has 14,000 households, and he is old enough to be Fuquan's grandfather, even if Fuquan is his main general, Duan Cheng does not have too much respect for Fuquan's title.

"Duan Gong and Liuchuan went out of the city together, why bother to say that Liuchuan suffers by himself?" Fu Quan shot back with a smile, as if he was blind to the ambiguous smile on Duan Cheng's face that a man could understand when he saw it.

"The servant is different, now the servant is more than half a hundred years old, and he has not much interest in women's affairs, on the other hand, Liuchuan, who is in the prime of life, has such determination before women, and it is rare to have a generation of young talents in the Han Dynasty."

"Prestige! Reputation! Duan Gong is too famous, and it is difficult for Quan Shi to speak like this! Fu Quan hurriedly became modest, and then said: "When Yu was young, he liked military affairs, and he liked Wu Zi's management of the army the most. There is no seat in the room, there is no riding in the line, and the food is won by the person, and the labor is shared with the soldiers. If the rest of the city is left in the city and the 8,000 troops outside the city are left in the military tent, how can the three armies be killed with their lives? Therefore, there will be a tent tonight. ”

Duan Cheng glanced at Fuquan in surprise after hearing this, and then kept shaking his head and sighing: "The son can be taught!" The child can be taught! The servant has been tired for half his life to know this, but he knows it at a young age, and he is really a young talent! It's better to be a servant! ”

At this time, Duan Cheng understood why Fu Quan was born at a young age, and he repeatedly went out to win victories, which turned out to be the case, because he actually understood the military principles that he had only understood in half his life when he was a teenager, which was really surprising.

Thinking that he Duan Cheng was peaceful and Qiang, the reason why he won many victories was that his subordinates died in the past, unlike the generals of the Han Dynasty in the past, who only cared about personal interests, deducted military salaries, and filled their private pockets, resulting in the soldiers being unwilling to use their lives, and even the morale of the Han soldiers who fled and surrendered to the Qiang people occurred repeatedly. Later, when Duan Cheng was in charge of the soldiers, he was strict with himself, he was benevolent in the march, the soldiers were sick, he asked and wounded, and he had not slept well for more than ten years at the border. Even if there was no food in the army because of Duan Cheng's dangerous long attacks, the soldiers also died for it, and they would rather eat horse meat and drink snow water, but also follow it to destroy Qiang, which is why he has 180 battles and few defeats.

It was late at night, and the two rode their horses and chatted until they reached the barracks, and then they gave up.

Wu Qi, the defender is also good at using soldiers. Wei Wenhou thought it would be. Rise as a general, and share food and clothing with the lowest soldiers. There is no seat in the room, there is no riding in the line, and the food is won by the person, and the labor is shared with the soldiers. If you have a stroke, you will start sucking it.

Excerpt from "Historical Records: The Biography of Sun Tzu Wu Qilie"

In one hundred and eighty battles, more than 38,600 ranks were killed, more than 427,500 cattle, horses, sheep, mules, donkeys, and camels were obtained, the cost was 4.4 billion, and more than 400 sergeants were killed. It was also sealed as the Marquis of Xinfeng County, and there were 10,000 households in Yi. The marching army is benevolent, and the soldiers are sick, and they personally visit the province, and their hands are the creation. I have been on the side for more than ten years, and I have not slept for a day. Suffer with the soldiers, so they are all happy to fight to the death.
