Chapter 356
What Changsun Chong didn't know was that in fact, Changle was not far away from him that night, and if you count the straight-line distance, it wasn't even twenty miles.
And even if it is not calculated according to the straight-line distance, the distance of Changle will actually be less than a hundred miles.
There was no way, the four of them took Changle back and walked another valley, and that valley was at most a small fork in the road, which was even more difficult to travel, and although a little girl in Changle was very good at riding, she had no choice but to have poor physical fitness, and she didn't even drive down ten miles of riding alone, and her buttocks and thighs were hot and painful. There was no way to do it, so the dynasty could only hand over his horse to Ma Han, and he and Changle shared Wu Yuanqing's BMW.
Without the friction of the saddle, Changle put two layers of thick clothes under his buttocks, and just like that, after traveling less than forty miles, Changle couldn't bear it again, and finally could only stop to rest and prepare for the night when it was not dark.
Counting up, the distance traveled by the five of them on light horses was a few miles longer than that of Wu Yuanqing, who had a lot of food and grass.
This night was a very difficult night for Changle, who was tired and miserable, and Changsun Chong, who was worried about being miserable, and for Wu Yuanqing, this night was the most solid night to sleep in a few days. And Li Chengqian is in between, he is very tired, and it hurts between the two but it doesn't hurt so much, so he sleeps soundly.
Because the night was too late, the next day Venucia was half an hour later than usual, and even then the soldiers seemed very unenergetic, resulting in the arrival of Shang Yuyi at noon, but it was not until the afternoon that they arrived.
When they were leaving, Changsun Chong also sent his generals to divide into several ways and follow the route that Changle might take to track down.
The eldest grandson Chong also wanted Li Chengqian's crown prince to send some people to find him, but unfortunately Li Chengqian refused, on the grounds that he wanted to ensure his own safety. This reason almost made the eldest grandson Chong angry to death.
The elite protection of about 4,000 military guards here is not enough, do you still use the six rates of the prince of your mere 600 people?
But Li Chengqian used this reason to deal with him, what could he do.
Stop the rest of the Shang Yu Station, and then walk a short distance is Shangzhou City, to here, the Lanwu Ancient Road is half walked.
Just like the name of Shang Yu Yi, the Lanwu Ancient Road is also known as the Shang Yu Ancient Road, which is the ancient military, political, and business road.
Shang Yu is the domain name of the ancient Qin-Chu border land, and the collective name of the Qinling Mountains "Shang" began with Wuguan and ended with "600 miles".
There is also a very famous allusion to this name: after the death of Su Qin, the princes of the six countries still implemented the policy of "joining forces" to destroy Qin, especially the close relationship between the two powerful countries of Qi and Chu in the six countries, which became the main obstacle to Zhang Yi's implementation of the "Lianheng" pro-Qin policy. In order to disintegrate the Qi-Chu alliance, Zhang Yi, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun", sent an envoy to Chu, proposed that Chu and Qi break off diplomatic relations, Qin and Chu formed an alliance, and Qin would cede merchants to Chu in 600 li of land. King Chu Huai believed that it was true, so he broke off Qi and sent Feng Hou Chou to Xianyang to receive Qin's land. But Zhang Yi said: "The minister has six miles of Fengyi, and he is willing to sacrifice the king." Qin Ming blatantly played tricks on Chu. In the eighth year of King Qin Zhaoxiang, in 299 BC, King Qin Zhaoxiang sent a letter to King Huai of Chu: "The widow and Chu are bordered by the border, so it is a marriage, so they have been on a blind date for a long time. The widow is willing to meet the king, meet face-to-face, form an alliance and go, and the widow's wish is also. Dare to smell the deacon. King Chu Huai hesitated, but decided to go to Wuguan to meet King Qin Zhaoxiang. Wuguan had already ambushed the Qin soldiers, and when King Chu Huai appeared, he was captured and sent to Xianyang. Qin wanted to cut the land of Chu, but King Huai of Chu did not give it, so he detained him. A few years later, the guest died in a foreign land, and the end was miserable.
Therefore, because of Zhang Yi's deception of Chu, "Shang" and "Yu" are collectively called; It is a synonym for the land of the 600-mile frontier and the military, the main road of commerce and the "scheme" and "trickery".
Shangyu Ancient Road is an important trunk road leading from the capital Chang'an to the southeast of Datang, connecting Wuyue, Jianghuai, Jingxiang, Qianzhong, Jiaoguang counties, prefectures and counties, affecting almost half of Datang, and shouldering the important task of political, military and cultural exchanges and communication between Datang and various places in the southeast.
Shangzhou City is the largest city on this ancient road, and because it is located at the three-way intersection, it has become the most important transportation hub. Bai Juyi's "Poems of Shangzhou" cloud: "Stop in the Shangzhou Pavilion for three days, and wait for the wife and children to go one by one." ”
From Shangzhou, you can go southeast through Wuguan, enter Nanyang, then go to Jingchu, and finally to Lingnan, or you can go down the Danjiang River to the mouth of the Danjiang River to enter Chu and then go to Lingnan.
However, due to the small runoff of the Danjiang River and the large interannual variation, few people generally take the waterway all the way, and they are both dry and watery.
Like Wu Yuanqing, their army must have chosen a good way to go, that is, from the southeast of Shangzhou through Wuguan into Nanyang, and then from Jingchu to Lingnan.
And the dynasty took Changle to avoid possible pursuit, and after many inquiries and inquiries, they finally chose to take the Danjiang waterway.
When Wu Yuanqing was resting in Shangyuyi, in fact, the five people of the dynasty were in Shangzhou City, which was less than ten miles away from them.
At such a close distance, it is exaggerated to say that they can smell each other's scents, but it is a pity that the men sent by Changsun Chong either chase along the way, or return to chase from the fork in the road, and there is just a small time difference in the middle, either a while ahead, or a period of late, and they all miss.
And Changsun Chong followed the large army to rest in Shangyuyi, and he didn't plan to enter Shangzhou City, so the two sides who were wrong missed it.
By the time they went to Nanyang through Wuguan, Changle and they had already drifted down the Danjiang River.
How can you go down the river faster than on the road, didn't Li Bai say it, the white emperor of the court, between the clouds, thousands of miles of Jiangling in one day.
The eldest grandson wanted to find Changle as soon as possible, but he missed it again and again. It's nearly half a month.
Their group finally arrived in Jingzhou.
And Changle, they had already arrived here six days ago. When she got here, Changle was reluctant to continue to go down, so she had to board her brother Yuanqing.
I had no choice but to live in the hotel, but I was originally traveling with the army, who would have nothing to bring any money, and I didn't think of this stubble when I was in a hurry.
The expenses they spent from Shangzhou were earned by Changle pawning the gold hairpin on their heads.
After eating and drinking along the way, there is not much left. Changle is not a person who can endure hardships, even if she hides along the way, she will definitely not be able to treat her badly when she arrives in this city.
There was no way, Changle took out the only remaining golden step shake on his head and asked the dynasty to pawn it.
They didn't dare to live in the inn, so they could only rent a private house in the city to live, of course, this is also related to the cheaper private house.
