Chapter 675: Two Taishou
Li Guang sent someone here, which did not surprise Su Ren. Li Guang is the Taishou of Yanmen, and he will know everything that happens in Yanmen County. Although Su Ren didn't need to inform Li Guang when he came to Yanmen this time, who was Su Ren? Not to mention far away, just with the friendship between Su Ren and his son Li Danghu, it is also appropriate to send someone to care about it as an elder.
The person who came was the captain of Yanmen, and he was very polite to Su Ren, but the dozens of soldiers outside the door frightened Zhang Junyue's family, after figuring out the origin and purpose of these people, Zhang Junyue's service to Su Ren and his party was more thoughtful, and everything was arranged properly, which also saved Su Ren a lot of worry.
When I came to Yanmen County, I naturally had to go to see Yanmen Pass, and the lieutenant sent by Li Guang agreed to this request without any hesitation. Yanmen Pass was not built on the top of Yanmen Mountain, in fact, Yanmen Pass was built on the ridge of Gozhu Mountain.
From the east of Yanmen Pass, go to Pingxing Pass, Bauhinia Pass, and Backward Horse Pass, and go straight to Youyan to connect Hanhai; Go west to Xuangangkou, Ningwu Pass, and Yatou Pass to the Yellow River. Heng Mountain winds along the inner Great Wall on the top of the mountain along the northern border of Dai County, connecting Yanmen Mountain, Mantou Mountain and Caoduo Mountain into one. It is bordered by the Yanbei Plateau in the north and the Xinding Basin in the south, which is definitely a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Although Yanmen Pass is still under construction, it can be seen that the project is very huge. Roughly estimated, the siege of Yanmen Pass was built along with the mountain, with a circumference of more than ten miles. The southern end of the wall is connected to the east and west wings of the castle, and to the north it extends along the ridge to the valley floor, where a gate is built. Outside the siege, there are also three large stone walls and twenty-five small stone walls, which act as barriers.
The place that allowed Su Ren to stop for the longest time was not the construction site, but the Jingbian Temple built by Li Guang outside the east gate. Speaking of Jingbian Temple, we have to talk about Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao during the Warring States Period.
In that year, King Wuling of Zhao carried out Hufu cavalry shooting, defeated the invasion of Lin Hu and Lou Fu, and established Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Daijun. Li Mu was ordered to stay in Yanmen to guard against the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu had no gain for several years, while the Zhao army was strong and strong, and Li Mushuai's army broke more than 100,000 horsemen of the Xiongnu. For more than ten years after that, the Xiongnu did not dare to Kou Zhao. Later generations called Li Mu a "genius", and only then did he build the Jingbian Temple in Yanmen Pass to commemorate his exploits in defending the border and protecting the people.
Su Ren was even wondering if Li Guang's construction of Li Mu's ancestral hall here would be an expression of his attitude to the emperor? Although he is not a descendant of Li Mu, everyone is surnamed Li, and he may have been a family five hundred years ago. Li Guang naturally hopes that he, like Li Mu, will become a hero admired by everyone in the world.
The old Guancheng to the west of Seki Castle is commonly known as Tieli Gate. The two passes are connected by the Great Wall of stone, and the enemy tower, beacon tower, etc., form a complete set of defense system, no matter how many people and horses the Xiongnu come, don't want to easily pass through the Yanmen Pass.
After a visit, Du Wei patiently introduced the repair and construction of Yanmen Pass to Su Ren, and told him everything in detail, and the expression on his face showed that this person was absolutely loyal to Li Guang.
Su Ren nodded with a smile: "Taishou is dedicated to the country, Your Majesty naturally knows, otherwise you will not let Taishou garrison Yanmen, you know that this is the throat of the Han Dynasty, and if you are not careful, you will be taken advantage of by the Huns, Your Majesty will put Taishou here, which shows Your Majesty's trust in Taishou." ”
Du Wei was overjoyed, and said again and again: "What Mr. Su said is very true, as long as you are too guarded, the Huns will not want to enter the Han land through Yanmen!" Oh, by the way, Taishou ordered, over the years, the eldest prince has contributed to the country under the guidance of Mr., and has also won a lot of glory for the ancestors of the Li family, hoping that Mr. Su can go to Shanwu, and Taishou invited Mr. Su to the banquet. ”
"Oops! In this way, I and the brother are brothers, and the Taishou is the elder, and the captain went back to tell the Taishou that he would visit him in the next day and ask for peace to the Taishou! ”
Du Wei didn't know what to say, he was a retainer of Li Guang's family, and he had followed Li Guang from birth to death for so many years, and he was clear about the affairs of the Li family. He also understands who Su Ren is, Su Ren can say such a thing, which already shows that Li Danghu, the brother, recognizes the value, as long as the Li family does not rebel in the future, it will definitely be able to thrive in the big Han mix, and the old general's grand aspirations will be greatly improved.
The two came down from the mountain and broke up in Wuzhou. Along the way, the captain's words continued, what is good to hear,. Su Ren also had nothing to say, and the two chatted happily. When Su Ren entered Wuzhou City, Du Wei hurriedly turned his horse's head and went straight to Shanwu, he couldn't wait to tell Li Guang the good news.
You must know that in the Lingnan War, Su Ren already had some roots in the army, and he was a celebrity in front of the emperor. If Su Ren came to Yanmen without any purpose, he would not believe it if he killed Li Guang. As a veteran, it's not a good thing to be stagnant for so many years. In case it really comes time to win or lose with the Huns, the emperor can't remember him as a veteran, so how can his face exist?
Du Wei rushed back to Shanwu from Wuzhou in one breath, the sweat on his face was still dripping when he entered the door, he didn't care about washing his face and changing clothes, asked the servants, and went straight to the Taishou Mansion to perform martial arts.
Li Guangding's helmet is practicing martial arts in the martial arts arena. Li Guang is only in his thirties and less than forty this year, and he is the most energetic time in his life. The long halberd danced in the hands of the tiger and the tiger, a dragon swinging its tail, as the target of the wooden stake in response to the sound and broken, and a halberd to smash the flying half of the wooden stake, sawdust fell one after another, like a rain.
"Good! Li Taishou is really good at martial arts! "Cheng Buzhi is the Taishou of Daijun, Yanmen is not far from Daijun, Liu Che sent the two of them to guard against the Huns, one is stationed in Yanmen, and the other is stationed in Daijun so that the Huns dare not watch.
"Hahaha......" Li Guang threw the halberd in his hand to the soldiers on the side, and laughed: "Cheng Taishou has won the award, and he is a little rusty if he doesn't practice for many days, which makes Cheng Taishou laugh." ”
"Li Taishou is polite, no one in this world knows the name of General Fei, as far as my Han is concerned, I have never seen it compared to a general."
Li Guang waved his hand: "There are more people who are smarter than me Li Guang, not to mention anything else, Su Ren who pacified Lingnan is better than me." ”
Cheng Buzhi smiled: "Li Taishou was surprised, Su Ren was ingenious, and Li Taishou was born in the army, if you talk about martial arts, even a hundred Su Ren is not Li Taishou's opponent, I think that when Li Taishou followed Zhou Taiwei to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, he made a great contribution to capturing the flag!" ”
Li Guang looked happy and said, "Hey! That's all in the past, and we haven't been on the battlefield in years! He took a towel and wiped his face, stretched out his arm, and his own slave came over to unload Li Guang's armor: "By the way, what does Cheng Taishou think Su Ren wants to do when he comes to Yanmen this time?" Could it be that Your Majesty wants Su Ren to restrain you and me and start a war with the Huns? ”
Cheng Buzhi took a deep breath: "It's not that there is no such possibility, isn't Yan Zhu in Lingnan put on the side of Su Ren?" You and I better be careful! ”
"What's there to be careful about, as long as there is a real war with the Huns, what's the harm in letting him be restrained? As long as he can defeat the Huns, let alone temper the old man, let the old man lead the horse for him! ”
Cheng Buzhi smiled: "You think about it, eh?" Why hasn't the man you sent come back yet?"
The lieutenant had been listening to the two Taishou at the door, and he couldn't wait any longer when he heard this. hurriedly came in and saluted the two: "The subordinate has seen the two Taishou. ”
Cheng Buzhi smiled: "Just talking about him, he came back, what a coincidence, tell me what you have heard?" ”
The lieutenant hurriedly said: "The subordinate has inquired clearly, Su Ren is not here to lead his troops to fight, according to him, he wants to build a field outside Yanmen Pass and do business with the Huns." ”
"Doing business?"
Du Wei nodded: "Su Ren said, the reason why my Han is always taken away by the Huns in the current battle with the Huns, is only because my Han lacks horses, lack of war horses, the Huns are all cavalry, and they suffer from infantry and cavalry warfare, and if you want to start a war with the Huns, my Han must have a cavalry, so that you can defeat the Huns, so he opened this field to exchange for Hun war horses for my Han." ”
Cheng Buzhi took a breath of cool air: "Oh, this son has a unique vision!" It hit the nail on the head at a glance, and it was indeed a character. ”
Li Guang smiled: "This is very good, as long as he is clear, it will be easy to do." ”
Du Wei said again: "Su Ren said that he would come to Shanwu to meet Taishou in a few days, and also said that he and the eldest prince are brothers, and Taishou is naturally his elder, so he should meet him." ”
Li Guangda smiled and said to Cheng Buzhi: "This kid is quite polite, not to mention that the old man likes him a little." ”
Cheng Buzhi pointed at Li Guang: "People say it's your nephew, you see that you are happy to be like this, since he is here to change horses, can your uncle say something, let the two of us choose the horses first?" ”
"Huh?" Li Guang's eyes lit up, and he laughed: "You still have brains, I didn't expect it." ”
"Phew, you didn't expect to send someone to find Su Ren, I don't believe this!"
"Hahaha......" Several people laughed loudly in the martial arts arena.
Su Ren returned to the inn, and Zhang Junyue hurriedly greeted him. He can see that the young man in front of him is not small, and he will live in Wuzhou permanently, if he can live in his shop all the time, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for him. Not only do you not have to worry about someone messing around, but you can also make a profit.
Bringing facial cleansing water for Su Ren, Zhang Junyue asked with a smile on his face if he wanted to eat. After running around all morning, Su Ren was indeed a little hungry, so he nodded and agreed. After sending Zhang Junyue away, Su Ren found a piece of paper and drew the Yanmen Pass that he had written down in his mind bit by bit. In Su Ren's opinion, this city pass is indeed very good, but unfortunately there are still some problems, such as the urn city and the fortress are not, if the Huns blindly attack regardless of casualties, it is still possible to break through, so he is ready to make up for the gaps from the perspective of a later generation.
"Bang Bang Bang." The knock on the door remembered, Su Ren didn't look up: "Come in!" The door creaked open, and Su Ren still held the pen and thought: "Put it there, I'll eat it later." ”
"Sir!" A sweet and glutinous voice suddenly came from behind Su Ren: "Father said that it is all meat, please eat it while it is hot, if it is cold, it is not good for your health." ”
As soon as Su Yi turned around, it turned out to be Zhang Junyue's daughter who delivered the meal, and she was dressed very coolly. The little girl's face was flushed, and her stunning face made people's hearts ripple at a glance.
