Chapter 055: Qiangu Lu Yangguan 2
The situation related to the bandits in Funiu Mountain, this Wu Yanzhi has no memory in his mind. I guess it's because my home is too far away from here.
But this thorn history is too domineering! The head of a government service team is not high, and it is not easy to support a family, so why is it easy to kill him with a cane?
Of course, it may also be a thief who gives a message to the robbers, and for such a person, of course, he must be severely punished and killed!
However, the names such as "decapitated ghost" and "locked goose throat" are quite domineering. Especially what is the "lock goose throat", it is extremely difficult to shoot geese, and he can also shoot the throat of geese, and his archery skills can be seen!
……
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Wu Yanzhi decided to postpone the meal.
He took Jiang Shipeng, Cui Yu, Yao Kuan, Yufei and other four people to the highest place in the gate. Seeing that this Luyang Pass is between two mountains, the terrain is extremely dangerous.
Under the golden sunlight, but see the valleys on both sides are abrupt and steep. On both sides of the mountain, the trees are lush and green, and the mist is gradually rising, and the scenery is beautiful!
"Ambassador Wu! How far is it from home? Jiang Shipeng asked.
"My hometown is close to Dengzhou, but it is under the jurisdiction of Xinye County, Dengzhou! It's thirty miles away from Dengzhou! Here, maybe 2780 miles! The mountain road is difficult to walk, and when the time comes, try to get there in four days.
Due to the urgency of copper smelting, I don't dare to leave you for a wedding drink! I'll make up for it when I get to Raozhou.
My plan is that you and Judge Cui will lead them to go first, and go to handle the preparation of materials, personnel recruitment, housing preparation, and other matters first! Yao Kuan, Yufei and I arrived with my family! ”
"It's good!" Jiang Shipeng said.
The mountain breeze blows in the canyon, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Cui Yu seemed to be very familiar with this Luyang Pass, and only listened to him: "This Luyang Pass is also called 'Sanya Road' and 'Ancient Crow Road', which is the only way for Luoyang to connect Nanyang, and the pass is also very important!" ”
"Then why is it called 'Sanya Road'?" Yao Kuan asked, and he beat the hammer on the stone next to him in boredom.
Cui Yu shook his head, as if to indicate that this Yao Kuan was really uneducated: "It is said that when Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu entered the army here, he got lost for a while.
Later, three crows led him out of the place and escaped from his pursuers! That's why this place is called 'Sanya Road'.
In fact, this is all a legend and a misunderstanding! The crow of this black 'crow' leads to the 'ya' of the pass! There are already three big passes in this place, hence the name! Of course, maybe there are a lot of crows in the mountains! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a number of crows and owls hovering around.
Yao Kuan looked at these many crows and said, "I think, the legend about Liu Xiu is probably true!" Yufei, I heard that you have unparalleled archery skills, why don't you shoot a few crows, I'll have a good night's wine? ”
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this! That Yufei also shook his head and smiled: "Brother Yao! I'm afraid that no one in the world wants to eat crows except you.
It's a pity that the time is not right, or I'll shoot you a few geese to drink! ”
"Shoot geese? You're not bragging, are you? That wild goose flies so high, can you shoot it down? Yao Kuan didn't believe it.
Yufei sneered: "You think I can't down, then forget it!" He stopped talking.
Subsequently, Wu Yanzhi and a few people carefully inspected the remains of the Great Wall of Chu.
The Great Wall of Chu is actually similar to the Great Wall of Qin, of course, it is far from being as beautiful as the Badaling Great Wall we see.
The Badaling Great Wall is the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, and it was restored and used to visit. Most of the Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty, including the Great Wall of Chu, was short and far less pretty.
Most of them are built with rubble stones, not any stone, if they are all made of square stone. How much manpower and material resources are there?
The city wall here is no exception, except for a few dozen meters away from the pass, which has been repaired, and can still be seen, the rest of the place is also dilapidated, and only some remnants of one or two meters of foundation can be seen.
Despite this, Wu Yanzhi still felt the unparalleled courage of the ancients.
In ancient times, when construction technology was so rudimentary, how big a project was it to build a tall city wall with a length of thousands of miles on top of a mountain with no roads at all?
……
The wine and food in the evening were abundant, because Wu Yanzhi personally took the money to invite everyone to a full meal, and even Wang Dong and his subordinates were also invited.
The next day, just as Wu Yanzhi was about to arrange his departure, Yu Fei came in and said, "Ambassador, there is an important matter to report to the ambassador!" ”
"Yesterday evening, I saw several suspicious-looking people wandering outside the inn. This morning, I got up very early and saw those men again.
Judging from their humble duties, these people may be the spies of the two groups of mountain bandits that Liu Guanling said! Yu Fei's expression was very determined.
When Wu Yan heard this, he immediately felt a little nervous!
Do these robbers still dare to rob officials above the official road?
It's hard to say! Since they are robbers, they have long put life and death out of the way, and they are people who live happily one day at a time.
"Okay, let the four led by Yao Kuan and Wang Dong open the way in front, and I will escort you at the end, for the sake of safety, I will let Liu Guanling send one more person to Xiangcheng County, and notify the county order to send someone to meet the guard!" Wu Yanzhi thought of all the possible plans.
"So much the best!" He took his leave.
Wu Yan looked at it, he was careless! Although Yao Kuan and Yufei were recruited, it seems that it is not enough.
He then called Wang Dong again and told him what Yufei had just said, and Wang Dong laughed and said:
"Don't panic, Wulang! The villain forgot to tell Wu Lang, the four people invited by the villain cost a lot of money.
They are all warriors who have fought in Anxi, and it is not a problem to be one to be ten. According to the villain, I waited behind to suppress the formation to prevent the bandits from sneaking up. Wu Lang, Yufei and Yao Kuan can be engaged in the front.
I heard Secretary Jiang say that the jade flying arrow method is unparalleled, opening the way in front and deterring bandits is the key! ”
Wu Yanyi listened and nodded: "That's good!" Just according to Brother Wang's words! I'm looking for Liu Ling to borrow a few shields and return them to him at the Xiangcheng County Post Station forty miles away! ”
"That's the best! With a shield, the combat power is doubled! Wang Dong is very confident.
In this way, Wu Yanzhi borrowed eight shields from Liu Ling. This thing is the same as the horse and the cart, and it will be returned at the next station.
Of course, he readily agreed, and said, "Wu Lang, the contemptible person has also practiced bow and arrow and sword skills for a few days!" Let the humble take a few people to send Wu Lang to the post station in Xiangcheng County!
There are 300 soldiers recruited two years ago stationed there, mainly to prevent the mountain homeless people from making trouble, and it will be safe when they arrive in Xiangcheng County! ”
"It's good!"
In this way, Liu Bin was ordered by Luyang Pass to select ten brave post men, carrying knives and shields, carrying bows and arrows, and accompanying Wu Yanzhi out of Luyang Pass.
In the woods not far away, several men in strong suits saw it clearly, said a few words to each other, and then got up and walked deep into the dense forest.
There, there is their base camp.
