Early in the morning of the second day, when the other gates of Chang'an City have not been opened, the city gate in the direction of Baqiao has been opened uncontrollably, the quiet darkness before dawn, and the sound of horses' hooves galloping through the streets of Chang'an City, still woke up the people in the various squares passing by, and also made other people in the square who got up early in the square couldn't help but stop their work and listen attentively to the sound of the neat horses' hooves.

In the palace, Wu Mei, who stood at the door of the Xuanzheng Hall as if she had not left all night, looked at the long cavalry out of Chang'an City in a fast and orderly manner, Wang Lou slowly walked behind him, and said in a low voice: "Empress Yu, the seventeen people in the bow and crossbow guards, for some reason yesterday, actually drank and fought, and ten people died. ”

"Oh? And what about the rest of the seven? Wu Mei raised her eyebrows, the son of unfilial piety is neat, but it is not clean.

"Back to the queen, the other seven people were discovered by Li Qiao, the doctor of the imperial history platform, because of alcoholism, and today they were assigned to go to Liaodong with His Royal Highness the Prince." Wang Lou couldn't understand why His Highness took the risk of taking them with him since these people were aliens.

Hearing Wang Lou's last words, Wu Mei's expression suddenly turned cold, her sharp gaze pointed directly at the depths of Wang Lou's heart, and said coldly: "Are you sure you were taken away by Li Hong?" ”

"Back to the queen, it's true, she was indeed taken away by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Wang Lou's heartstrings tightened violently, and if he pressed it in his heart, he didn't dare to ask.

However, then Wu Mei's tone softened again: "This Li Hong, I really don't know the severity, are you really afraid that something will happen to your mother!" ”

Hearing the queen's words, Wang Lou's heart was full of doubts, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took away those seven people, it was indeed a solution to the hidden dangers in the palace, but what does it have to do with the queen's safety?

Wu Mei turned her head, looked at the torch gradually moving away, looked up to the sky and sighed, and asked, "Are you very confused, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bring those seven people with him, right?" ”

"Back to the queen, the slave maid is really puzzled, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows that they are very dangerous, why do they have to take them with them, in this way, wouldn't he put His Highness in danger himself?" When Wang Lou saw the queen asking, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and express his doubts.

"Yes, he is blatantly telling people with intentions that this matter is what he Li Hong said, and it has nothing to do with the palace, and he doesn't want to put the palace in danger when he and His Majesty are not in Chang'an." Wu Mei smiled bitterly and shook her head.

This Li Hong's move is to blatantly tell Li Xian, I killed your people, and you have the ability to rush at me, and it has nothing to do with the queen mother.

However, Wu Mei can also imagine that the seven people who are not dead may now have only two ways to go, either they were accidentally drowned on the waterway to Youzhou, or they died in the battlefield of Liaodong.

Taking the waterway from Luoyang to Youzhou is the battle route of the Eastern Expedition to Liaodong in the Sui and Tang dynasties, after all, the cost of the waterway is much cheaper to march by land, and you can go directly to Youzhou along the Yongji Canal.

Youzhou is located between the Taihang Mountain Range and the Yanshan Mountain Range, which has always been an important town in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the gap between the two mountain ranges is the shortest natural passage for communication between the original farmers and the nomads.

Similarly, the two mountain ranges are a natural dividing line between the former farmers and the nomadic peoples.

Strictly speaking, the boundary between agriculture and animal husbandry in the Yanshan Mountains is calculated from the northeast side of the Tibetan Plateau from the northeast of the Tibetan Plateau to the east, stretching for thousands of kilometers from the northern mountain range on the outer side of the Taihang Mountains.

It can also be seen from this that the Great Wall built in the Yanshan Mountains, which stretches and falls, is of great importance to the original people's resistance to the nomads.

Youzhou was an important military town in the Sui and Tang dynasties, guarding the gateway for nomads to enter the original unimpeded, which was also extremely important to the Tang Dynasty, and in the future history, Youzhou was also equally important.

Whether it is the former Sui or the Tang Dynasty, the use of troops to conquer the Liaodong area, etc., is from here to start the real gathering of troops.

It's just that with the rolling of the wheel of history, Li Dan's third son and Li Zhi's grandson Tang Xuanzong Li Longji encountered An Lushan's rebellion when he later appointed An Lushan, who was of mixed Hu and Han blood, to guard Youzhou.

An Lushan, as the Jiedu envoy of Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong, held a large number of elite cavalry, plus the troops of the same room Wei and Yao, so he opened the prelude to the period of turmoil in the Tang Dynasty, and because of the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty has since entered the situation of separating the feudal towns, and has never restored the glory of Taizong, Gaozong, and the first half of Xuanzong.

From a historical point of view, if the Anshi Rebellion was a wake-up call to the Han people to warn the Tang Dynasty of the importance of Youzhou to the Yuan, then this alarm bell did not ring for a long time and did not arouse people's attention to Youzhou.

With the entry of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Shi Jingjiao, who claimed to be the emperor in front of the Khitan, gave away the sixteen states of Yanyun and the Khitan, which also made the Great Song Dynasty have to start a national fortune of more than 200 years of groveling.

And Shi Jingjiao's move has also become the most serious mistake in the frontier history of the Chinese nation, handing over his door to others to take care of, and the "benefits" he got are the most deeply felt by the emperor who came to the Song Dynasty.

After starting from Chang'an and arriving in Luoyang, Li Hong only rested for the night, and the next day it was dawn, so he took a boat to the east and went to Youzhou with 3,000 soldiers and horses.

Lou Shide looked at the sail shadow in the distance, and his heart was also greatly relieved, and then he ordered someone to draft a document and send it to the three provinces of Chang'an, as well as Dali Temple and Yushitai.

Youzhou and Fanyang two place names have existed with each other, and today's Fanyang is also equivalent to Youzhou, all the jurisdictions just follow the changes of the times, and the names are also changing back and forth.

The reason why Fan Yang Lu's family was able to become a wealthy family and one of the seven families with five surnames was not unrelated to the fact that he lived in a dangerous place in Youzhou.

Four days later, Fan Yang Assassin Shi Lu Zhaolin led a hundred officials to greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Hong next to the Yongji Canal, and all the marching equipment, grain and grass that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had given had already been prepared.

After a few days of rapid marching, Li Hong was not surprised, but the most surprising thing was Lu Zhaolin and others, the three thousand soldiers behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who were not yet armoured, there was not a single person with a pale face and a tired expression!

This surprised them, it stands to reason that even on a waterway like the Yongji Canal, how could they, as Guan people, not suffer from seasickness?

But the fact is that to their surprise, these people got off the boat and changed horses, and each of them was firm and powerful, and there was no faltering, stumbling and floating.

The army rested again for the night, and on the second day began to rush to Yuguan (Shanhaiguan), which was built by Emperor Kaihuang of the former Sui Dynasty in the third year, and its purpose was naturally needless to say, that is, to prevent the nomads outside the pass from eyeing the original.

In the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong Li Shimin conquered Goryeo, and at the beginning he also gathered troops and horses from Youzhou, and set off from Yuguan to Liaodong, as the only choke point, this road is definitely the most important military town in the Tang Dynasty today.

After leaving Yuguan, Li Hongcai began to order the three thousand soldiers behind him to wear armor, and the road was smooth all the way to the black soil tamping, which was smooth enough for the relatively fine grain and grass baggage.

Li Hong, who originally wanted to mobilize grain and grass from Yundu Hufu, had to start transporting grain and grass from Liyang Cang because of a letter from his dragon father halfway, and the entire 3,000 soldiers and horses transported enough grain and grass for tens of thousands of people, which also slowed down the march at once.

In seven days, Li Hong still left 2,000 people to escort grain and grass according to the marching plan, and he took the lead in leading 1,000 people to rush to the Songmo Governor's Mansion, and when he arrived at the Songmo Governor's Mansion, he was already close to the front line that Li Hongxin understood.

But what he didn't expect was that Daddy Long's martial arts were not practiced in vain, and he didn't expect that Daddy Long took the Songmo Governor's Mansion as the rear, and in just two months or so, he won more than ten cities such as Baiyan, Beisha, Maigu, Yinshan, and Houhuang in one fell swoop, and not only took these cities, but also moved the people to the Songmo Governor's Mansion, Juyan Governor's Mansion, Directional Governor's Mansion and other places.

But it seems that it is destined early, after inquiring about the history of the Songmo Governor's Mansion, I learned that Long Dad has been attacking Anshi City for more than 20 days, but he has encountered Goguryeo's stubborn resistance, and for more than 20 days, he has gathered more than 200,000 troops, but he has not been able to take it.

The topographic map of Liaodong has long been engraved in Li Hong's mind, and the research on the road during this period of time makes him wonder how to take an Anshi city without folding it with the invincible treasure of explosives?

Although Anshi Castle is the only way to enter the Korean Peninsula, and there are three cities behind it: Nansu, Mudi, and Cangyan as its backing, with the explosives in hand, it should have been razed to the ground even if it was bombed for more than 20 days.

The governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Song Desert walked in quickly from the outside, and before anyone could speak, he arrived: "Brother Li Cave will see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Hong turned his head and didn't see the figure, and before he could speak, he saw a person trotting in in a hurry.

Interesting, did he learn this trick by himself or did he learn his own? I like people who haven't seen it yet, so I salute first.

The governor of the Songmo Governor's Mansion was appointed by the Tang Dynasty with the Dahe clan, the largest tribe in the Khitan, and to put it bluntly, the place where they are now is the land of the Khitan.

Brother Li Cave was originally known as Brother Long Cave, and after being given the surname by Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty, he was changed to Brother Li Cave. Now he is the governor of the Songmo Governor's Mansion, but with Li Hong's reform of the Six Ministries, and the Tang Dynasty has referred to the official system of the four towns of Anxi in recent years.

began to slowly establish the Governor's Mansion headed by Tang officials, and the position of Governor, which was held by Khitan and other tribes, became more and more like an honorary position, but people seemed to still attach great importance to it, and Meidi was very good.
