Chapter 208: The First Battle of the Southwest (I)

Gradually February is approaching, Wumeng Mountain can not see the cold and gloomy of winter, on the contrary, the mountains and rivers are beautiful. It's just that some of the mountains are high, so when the sky is clear, there are clouds rising one after another. The same is true of the mountains on both sides of the Long Grass Ridge, but they are close, and the clouds are not like clouds, and they are reduced to fog. One by one, they hovered and floated on the top of the mountain.

The shadow of the mountain pressed over, and the long grass ridge was shrouded in gloom. There is a stone village on the mountain, and there is a group of wingmen with grimaces, which adds a sense of murder and insidiousness out of thin air.

King Luo Bing has been watching the prince, and has always thought that he is very talented, but the treatment is unfair, so there are many complaints in the poem. But he also wants to get ahead, so the prince came and let him see an opportunity.

However, he didn't know that it was precisely because of the complaints in his poems that Li Wei was afraid. He is not the only one who is treated unfairly, even Li Wei himself, but people are different, it is good to have high integrity, and it is the real ability to work hard to get rid of embarrassment. Like Li Wei himself, he has been working hard, and is even preparing to escape, but he does not sit still and complain. There are enough troubles in themselves, how dare they recruit a whining poet by their side.

Of course, no one will remind Luo Bing Wang. is some talent, especially the "Dijing Chapter" he wrote, which praised the capital, and was praised as the sister of "Chang'an Ancient Meaning" with Lu Zhaolin, and even most of them listed it on "Chang'an Ancient Meaning", which is very self-satisfied. can be compared with the prince's poems or poems, it can only be said as if, or it can only be said that the prince has never written long poems. (Note)

This talent can't be shown in front of the prince's eyes......

Looking at the terrain, the southwest has experienced a lot of battles, and I also know that the situation is a bit grim. However, there was no trace of anxiety in the prince's eyes. This is the bearing of the Wang family.

Wang Jiaf's temperament is that Li Wei has a gentle personality, and Pei Xingjian is scheming, so he is not in a hurry.

…………………………

Li Wei said: "Tell me, where is it?" How did you find out? ”

Wang Dian'er said: "We also went to the Central Plains from this road. When we arrived here, the stone village began to be built on the mountain road. My sister and I were scared and didn't dare to live. At the end of the long grass ridge, he treated the people in the village. Then the people of the stockade pointed to a way. ”

"Where?"

"Prince, you come with me."

You let the prince come? But the barbarian who was born in the mountains can't expect her to know much about etiquette. Li Wei and Pei Xingjian asked the soldiers to temporarily camp in front of the mountain first, and then with a group of guards, they followed Wang Dian'er south along the foot of the mountain.

To the south, there are still big mountains, the mountains are all tall Cui Wei, the road is not seen, only many clouds are seen, and some male falcons are flying around in the sky. After walking for a while, Wang Dian'er pointed to a big mountain and said, "It's there." ”

Li Wei raised his eyes and saw that it was still a very majestic mountain, but there was a small village on the mountainside, about twenty or thirty households, with stilted bamboo buildings, a small stream flowing down from the mountain, and some women were washing clothes by the stream. But these women were very poorly dressed, and they were not very good.

I saw a lot along the way, and because of the terrain, the life of the people in the river valley dam was better, but not all good. If there is a flash flood, not only will there be no harvest, but people may be drowned. Either hunt in the mountains for a living, and live even poorer.

If you don't come here, you don't know why Zhao Kuangyin stood by the Dadu River and threw the big axe, and my Great Song Territory ended here. But this is not the case, the more advanced the science and technology, the larger the territory, the more treasures will be underground, such as the current Siberia, the whole country thought that it was a poor place, but later it became a lifesaver for Russia. I know, but I can't say it.

Continuing to look, I finally saw a sheep intestine path behind the stockade, faintly inserted into the back of the mountain, and disappeared in the clouds. It looks a little dizzy, let alone marching.

But Pei Xingjian, Hei Tooth Changzhi and Liang Jishou glanced at each other, and Pei Xingjian ordered: "Send a team of scouts to investigate." ”

The scouts left, and the group returned to the camp. Seeing that the Tang army did not attack, the wingmen on the stone village began to blow their horns. No one is looking at it directly, but they don't want to sacrifice too much, otherwise they may take it in two or three hours.

Even if you can afford to sacrifice, you must always win the first battle beautifully. A group of people waited patiently for the scouts to return, and this waited for a long time, until the weather became foggy and uncertain, and several of the scouts returned to the camp. Then it was reported that there was a mountain road leading to the back. The good news is that it not only leads to the back of the mountain, but also passes through a village behind the mountain, and can go back to the road again. This village is about the village that Wang Dianzi said. A local, who was also bribed with a lot of money, pointed out another road. It is very treacherous, and there is a section in the middle that is almost a cliff, but as long as you can climb it and hang it down with a rope, you can directly climb the mountain south of Changcaoling. However, other roads are also very dangerous, and the barbarians in the local villages do not take this road and go up the mountain to hunt. Only some medicine farmers, for the sake of precious medicinal materials, occasionally venture to climb up.

But when several people heard this, their eyes lit up. This is an authentic stone mountain, there are always many stones on the mountain, even if they are connected into blocks, bring a few big hammers to smash them, you can also smash some, throw stones into the stone village, and also smash the group of rebels in the stone village into a panic.

The good news is not only this, some food has been prepared in the stone village, but the water to eat is the mountain spring water behind the long grass ridge. As long as you go around to the back of Changcaoy Ridge and cut off the water from this spring, the mountain will immediately lose its water source. Li Wei and Pei Xingjian glanced at each other again, and they both thought of an allusion. The story of Ma Tan's loss of the street pavilion. Not only that, but this group of nearly 2,000 people came here to keep to themselves. But after the stone village was repaired, the original form was exposed, and from time to time he went to several nearby villages to harass him. These stockades were also walled with stone walls for self-preservation, but that was against some bandits in the mountains. In the face of more than 1,000 regular troops, not a single stockade dared to resist. A lot of belongings were robbed, and dozens of little girls and young women were robbed, and a few days later all the women in several villages fled to other places. It was not until the Tang army came that the women returned. That is to say, if the Tang Dynasty army has action, the locals in the vicinity will support it.

The bad news is that the mountain road is too treacherous, especially the section on the mountain, because it is very high, the fog almost does not melt all year round, and it is covered with moss. Speaking of this, he looked at the two little girls who were treating the soldiers not far away, and their eyes were full of admiration, two young girls or young women, no one was embarrassed to ask, but they were just weak women, and they were carrying a two-wheeled cart, and they didn't know how to climb over.

But in the end, it's just a mountain road, not in Devil's Mountain, just go around behind the enemy, or climb to the peak, and you don't even need to bring horses. Hearing the scout's information, there was no need to discuss, and several generals knew how to arrange it. Hei Tooth Changzhi said: "Your Highness, let the ministers go." ”

The prince treated him as a scholar, and even regarded him as a lieutenant Chi Jingde, and he also wanted to repay him with a scholarly courtesy.

But Liang Jishou also said weakly on the side: "The minister has been in the south for more than half a year, and he is very familiar with this place, including all kinds of climbing over the mountain road, can you let the minister go?" ”

This is true, especially after getting lost in Devil's Mountain, I couldn't find the way and had to climb from various cliffs. After the plan is opened, behind the long grass ridge, it will become the main battlefield. Liang Jishou wants to fight for merit. The main thing is to make serious mistakes, to see if they can make some meritorious service and redeem their merits.

Not only him, but even the old general Xue Rengui is also like this, I heard that after the Tubo people entered Yaozhou, they trained desperately in Zhuziling, this is not for meritorious service, he has made too many merits, he doesn't care, this is to avenge the hatred.

Li Weisi paid for a moment and said, "It's better for General Liang to go." ”

It is still necessary to discuss, after a while the sky is getting dark, Liang Jishou began to select two thousand elite soldiers to prepare to set off, this is to go to the foot of the village to spend the night, and then set off at dawn tomorrow, just when the sky is dark, go around to the back of Changcaoling, build a simple camp, and block the officials under the mountain.

It's still the group of veterans under him, who have made mistakes and are not in a good mood these days, but they are going to fight, and they don't pay attention to these bureaucrats, they are very relaxed, and they even made a joke to the Wang Dianzi sisters who are being treated: "Little lady Wang, look at Liang Mou avenging your clansmen for the first time today." ”

After a few days, Liang Jishou and these two little girls are very familiar. In fact, the two little girls treated his men the most, and although they escaped, many people, including himself, had some accumulated injuries. Because there are not many wounds left by the battle, mainly in Devil's Mountain. The injuries were very strange, some were bitten by leeches, some were bitten by venomous snakes, some were sucked with miasma, and those who had ingested poison by mistake, those who fell, and other strange injuries. Most of the soldiers were well cleaned, but some were still suffering from occasional wounds after months. Most of the doctors who were brought in were helpless. On the contrary, because he lives here all the year round, Wang Dianzi has a lot of experience in treatment.

Therefore, Liang Jishou is very grateful in his heart.

Wang Dianzi smiled and said, "Then I will congratulate General Liang on his victory." ”

……

The next day, there was still no movement between the two sides, and Li Wei did not order an attack, these people knew the strength of the Tang Dynasty army after Liang Jishou's slashing, and they did not dare to come down to fight to the death. is just holding on to the mountain, blowing the horns on the mountain, which seems arrogant, but it is quite lustful.

Since it stopped, Li Wei ordered a part of the soldiers to be on guard, and the other soldiers began to continue training.

Then he asked the soldiers to carry water and chop firewood for several nearby villages, and repair the houses that had been damaged by the invasion of the wingmen on the long grass ridge. Attacking the city is the bottom and attacking the heart is the top, I heard it from "Three Kingdoms", but I don't know how to "attack the heart". Teach them to be rich and cultural, build roads for them, and even print movable type, send them books, and let them quickly become Chinese. It seems to be beautiful, but Li Wei thought about the records in the history books, as well as some historical memories of poor Baba. But I didn't dare to do it.

For Tubo and Khitan, the imperial court did this, and even the party items in the future were supported by the Tang Dynasty. It is precisely because of the culture of the Central Plains that it became stronger. How did they do it the other way around? Maybe it's the bad of the officials, maybe it's something else. The main problem is that Li Wei can't figure it out. However, it is not possible to expropriate and forcibly suppress it. So if you think about it, it's better to give some small favors. It seems that the effect is not bad, and after all the way, the attitude of these barbarians in the south is gradually changing. Guan Jian is not a general, he is the crown prince, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future......

But compared with the arrogant sound of horns on the mountain, the Tang Dynasty army appeared more leisurely and magnanimous.

The princess came to Li Wei's side and said, "Prince, this time the Han army will definitely win." ”

"Where's that?"

"It feels like your Han family has a book called "The Mean"."

"This is the confidence of contempt for the enemy, not "The Mean", you come with Lonely, I will show you this book."

I brought a lot of books with me, and I had to read until the second watch every night when I rested. But strangely enough, no one admired it, but thought it was normal for him to do so. made Li Wei very depressed. It is a book printed with a new engraving plate, printed on bamboo paper. Although the price of bamboo paper has not really fallen, the paper is thin, and the printed books are easy to carry. Li Wei also attaches great importance to this, and most of the books he brings are bamboo paper books. Therefore, a very thin one.

The little girl is very studious, and when she sees something she doesn't understand, she asks when she sees Li Wei free. Of course, Li Wei can't help her turn alone, there are still many things. I just saw her figure sitting on the stone reading hard, and sighed secretly.

It was getting dark. Suddenly, there was a commotion on the long grass ridge. The first battle of the army's southward march finally began...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to ***(***.***) to vote for recommendation, ***, your support is my biggest motivation. )
