This is cool, not the other. Pingliang in later generations, now called Jingchuan County, is under the rule of Yongzhou. Pingliang City of the Han Empire is two hundred miles north of Yinzhou, which is equivalent to the northern suburbs of Shizuishan City in later generations.

Pingliang City, is the seat of Pingliang County, this place and Lingwu County in the south of Yinzhou one south and one north, guarding the main road of Yinzhou, is two important passes of Yinzhou City. Before the Holy Ancestor, it was one of the main passages for the nomads to invade the south, and the geographical location was very dangerous.

Of course, for the current Han Empire, Pingliang City has lost its main role in resisting the southern invasion of the Xiongnu in the past, but its characteristics as an important military town have not been lost.

From Yunwai Fort, follow the straight road to Pingliang City, and the straight-line distance is 1,400 miles. Of course, it is impossible for a person to walk in a straight line, even if it is a straight road built on the vast grassland, it is impossible to be completely straight. To go west from Yunwaibao, you must first pass through Yunzhong County (now Hohhot Tuoketuo), Jiuyuan County (now Baotou) Wuyuan County (now Bayannur), and then go south along the western foot of the Yinshan Mountain Range to Shuofang County (now Wuhai), and finally reach Pingliang. Along the way, almost all of them are leaning on the Yinshan Mountain Range, and at the same time adjacent to the Yellow River. This route is the "Henan Land" that the Xiongnu and the Qin and Han dynasties repeatedly fought for, but now it is the territory of the Han Empire, and grazing on this land is an extremely safe "horse wrangler" of the Han Dynasty!

Along the way, Shen Yun and the others always followed the army of nearly 10,000 people in front, and behind them were also large and small teams. These troops were all requisitioned from the various large forts along the way, both regular and cadet soldiers. In total, there are about 30,000 people, enough to form a legion!

This is a legion without a complete supreme commander, among which there are extremely strong first-class legions, such as the elite of the three cavalry legions such as the Flying Cavalry Guard, the Hussar Guard, and the Flying Eagle Guard, as well as the warriors of the infantry legions such as the Trap Guard, the Violent Bear Guard, and the Fierce Guard. More were some of the soldiers of the Second Class Regiment who were recruited.

Of course, it also includes the senior cadets who are about to take the graduation assessment of Zhaowu University this year. Among them, the number of cavalry cadets was about 2,400. If it weren't for this sudden expedition, they would have to undergo the graduation assessment this year, and the number of people who could finally pass the assessment was only about 600 if nothing else—once again, the cavalry graduation assessment of Zhaowu University was extremely strict!

The fact that an army without a supreme commander walked so casually on the steppe was unthinkable before the Holy Ancestor, almost like sending them to death. But now, this is the norm.

The army of more than 30,000 people marched, and there would definitely be contact with each other, and through the splicing of one sentence in the east and one sentence in the west, Shen Yun also learned the general situation.

It turned out that the news that the Han Empire was going to carry out a devastating blow to the Yueshi people in the beginning of spring spread far and wide—in fact. Even if this news is strictly kept secret, it is useless, and the head of the rebel army can think of it with his ass, and the Han will definitely send a large army to encircle and suppress it in the spring of this year.

In order to deal with the counterinsurgency army of the Han Dynasty, the Yueshi decided to take the first step, in July 1002 of the Han Dynasty. That is, two months after the battle of the Tarim River Valley, the Yueshi had the strength of two legions. Climb over the Tian Shan Mountains and approach north. In collusion with the Huns, who had been wandering the Rus Plain, they invaded Jiankun County, Beihai Prefecture (formerly the area of Tangnu Wulianghai in the Qing Dynasty) in October of the same year.

In October 1002 of the Han Dynasty, the Yue-Hun coalition army braved the severe cold and attacked Kunjun with less than 2,000 troops, and actually captured Jiankun City. At that time, Beihai Prefecture had already been completely covered by severe cold, and it was cut off from Dushin Prefecture. The imperial court was even more unaware that the Hungarian coalition had invaded south at that time.

January 1003. The blood banner soldiers of Dingbian Province in Beihai Prefecture (now Uriya Sutai in Outer Mongolia) finally arrived in the imperial capital after a bitter cold, but they brought the news that Jiankun had been lost, and nearly 40,000 people of the Yue-Hungarian coalition army were besieging Dingbian Province!

The siege of Dingbianfu was in November of 1002, and now two months have passed. God knows if the Moon-Hungarian coalition army captured this wallless capital city.

The Han Emperor was furious, the court was furious, the hundred officials were furious, and the Yue people had completely provoked the entire Han Empire. is so insatiable, not to mention, he is actually incorruptible and shameless, colluding with the Huns, the sworn enemies of the Han Dynasty! This move has crossed the bottom line of the court's lords and princesses, and it is absolutely intolerable!

At this point, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty ordered to launch a counterinsurgency war in advance.

In view of the fact that the Yueshi people had colluded with the Huns, and captured Jiankun and Dingbian (the imperial court no longer had hope for Dingbian City), the Han Emperor ordered the formation of two front armies, the Northwest Front Army with Yigong as the commander, to control the armies of Gan, Su, Yong, Liang, and Ning, and the A, B, and C regiments all obeyed the dispatch, with a total of 1.6 million horses, and went west out of Moshan and Yumen, completely pacifying the Yueshi; The Northern Xinjiang Front Army, with Hu Gong as the commander, controlled the armies of the five states of Yin, Yu, Jin, Huai, and Yan, and at the same time ordered him to be the former governor of the two states of Duxin and Beihai.

And Shen Yun and other cadet soldiers are even small members of the two million army of the Northern Xinjiang Front!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Good boy, a whole army of four million! The empire hasn't fought such a big battle in nearly a hundred years, right? ”

In the military camp on the northern outskirts of Pingliang City, Pang Tong took off his military boots and rubbed his feet again and sighed.

After nearly 20 days of long marching, they finally arrived at Pingliang City on February 29. However, at this time, Yinzhou had become the base camp of the Northern Frontier Front, and countless troops rushed here from all over the country to assemble, resulting in Pingliang City being crowded with soldiers, so they could only be arranged to camp in the northern suburbs.

Fortunately, they were all used to it, and the small tent of the five people was quickly set up, and after listening to Zhang Mo's arrangement, there was no need for the five of them to be on duty tonight, so it was dark and the five people hid in the tent to keep warm - it is said that March is coming, and this ghost place is still freezing to death.

Zhong Lisi took off his armor and muttered, "How many hundred years! I think it's been for two hundred years, hey, Teng Yu, when was the last time the empire used four million troops? ”

Fang Cheng was unloading his leggings, and shook his head with a smile: "I'm not a history major, how do I know how to go?" You can ask Yuan Rang, he knows for sure. ”

Zhong Li Siqi said: "He majored in history in college? ”

"Ang, count yourself half a history major!" Fang Cheng smiled with a pun.

Shen Yun took off his cloak, threw it on Fang Cheng, and scolded with a smile: "Don't listen to Fang Tengyu's nonsense, my fiancée in my family is studying history." ”

Pang Tong rubbed his feet. I just wanted to put it to my nose and smell the "fragrance", but when I heard this, I suddenly said "yo he" and said: "Isn't it Shen Yuanrang, you have a fiancée at home, and you still hook up with our cavalry flower?" ”

The flower of the cavalry of course refers to Zhou Hui.

Zhong Lisi also accused: "Shen Yuanrang, you're too unkind, aren't you?!" Eating the bowl and staring at the pot, you left a bowl of soup for your buddy to drink! ”

Shen Yun kicked Zhong Lisi's ass when he placed the armor, and said with a smile: "You know a fart, we are true love." Grandma's, Lao Tzu is willing to marry two. She is also willing to marry, can you manage it? Besides, isn't that Situ Xiaoyue left to you! Why, I went to help her with the salute yesterday and was rejected again? ”

Zhong Lisi rubbed his ass and sat down in front of the brazier dejectedly. Rubbing his hands together, he said, "Don't mention it, Situ Xiaoyue doesn't care about me at all." is very protective of Zhao Xianzhi. I also saw her secretly stuffing a warm bag for Zhao Xianzhi yesterday! ”

"Yo he!" Shen Fang and Pang looked at Zhao Xin, who had been making the bed, with a smile, and Pang Tong shouted: "Brother Xianzhi, you are strict enough, you hooked up with our Situ baby, and you didn't say a word?" If it weren't for Zhong Lisi's poisonous eyes, how long would you plan to hide it? ”

A flush suddenly appeared on Zhao Xin's handsome face. Although he has always been calm, in front of these shameless robes, he still feels that his skin is not thick enough. He made the bed and went to the brazier. But he didn't say anything about Situ Xiaoyue, but said: "The last time the empire used four million troops was when the Holy Ancestor went west, four hundred and fifty years ago!" ”

"Who asked you this, don't divert the topic!" Pang Tong was dissatisfied, squeezed over and hooked Zhao Xin's shoulder and said, "To be honest, did you hold Situ Xiaoyue's little hand?" Slippery or not? ”

Zhao Xin pushed Pang Tong and said with a red face: "Go to the side, rub your feet all the time, your hands smell the same as if they were just taken out of the pit, and they don't stink." ”

Pang Tong sat back with a smile: "Lao Tzu is happy, Lao Tzu likes this taste!" ”

Fang Cheng also sat down, and said to Pang Dao with a fire: "So you just can't find the girl, and you still have the face to say." ”

Pang Tong also blushed, and when he saw that Zhong Lisi wanted to open his mouth to laugh at himself, he hurriedly said, "Who said that Lao Tzu couldn't find a girl?" My mother has already looked for me at home, and when this battle is over, I will go back to get married! Hum! ”

Shen Yun finally sat down and sighed, "After this battle? When will the war of four million troops be fought?! ”

Pang Tong took out the dry food from his arms and chewed it, Zhong Lisi scolded with a smile: "You are really a pig, the food that Huotou Jun got you just now was not full, or what?" Start eating again! After listening to Shen Yun's words, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, it is said that it is a four-million army, but in fact, there are only two or three legions that are really pulled up to fight." I have already inquired, although the marshal can control the armies of the seven states this time, but his old man did not take the Moon-Hun alliance army in his eyes at all, and only requisitioned two second-class legions and a flying cavalry army, which is about seventy or eighty thousand people, and it will not last long. ”

Zhao Xin also nodded and said: "Yes, there are more than 40,000 people in the Yue-Hun coalition army, and if we fight them, we won't need two million troops, two legions are enough!" ”

The military intelligence of the Han Dynasty is generally not strictly controlled, unless it is a necessary military secret, otherwise the enemy's news will be spread by the soldiers, so that ordinary soldiers can have a bottom in their hearts, and they will not be afraid of the enemy.

"I hope so!" Shen Yun sighed and didn't speak again.

Fang Cheng said: "I only hope that the marshal will quickly take back Dingbian Mansion, and then turn around and go west to Dayue Prefecture to quell the rebellion!" ”

"Still west? As I walk, my tender feet are about to wear out! Pang Tong touched his feet lovingly and sighed. That look amused the crowd again.

"Get out of the way, keep talking about those stinky feet," Zhong Lisi scolded with a smile, throwing away a bun in his arms, "You should have grown a pair of flat feet in the first place, instead of this sweaty foot, wouldn't it be better if you didn't use it as a soldier?!" ”

Pang Tong took the steamed bun, took a deep bite, and smiled intoxicatedly: "Parents of body hair and skin, anyway, I like sweaty feet, I am not flat feet, you bite me?!" ”

"Hahahaha," everyone laughed in unison.

The first night in Pingliang City was not bad. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
