Chapter 51: The Troubles of the Warriors

readx; Su Shi thinks that he is a horse now, no, maybe it is more accurate to say that he is a cow, since the moment he followed Yunda out of the Fengqiu Gate of Tokyo City, he regretted it, and wanted to regret it, but under the eyes of his father's knife, he could only obediently ride on the horse and follow the team to Yanmen Pass......

Unspeakable sadness along the way, he ran on a horse for most of the day, and the trough cake that he secretly stuffed himself with bacon was pulled off by Xiaolin with a whip, and if he didn't eat it, he wouldn't eat it, and the guy also used the whip to roll up the trough cake and stuff it into the horse's mouth.

It's not that I haven't endured hardships before, but when I return home, there will be servants and maids who take care of me, even if I go to the Yun family, it's almost the same as my own home, and when it's time to call the maids, those little girls will run fast.

Now it's different, looking at the thieves with a bare backbone, the thieves with the army with a bite to eat to the head of the city to build stones, the Xinghua army was taken to Ningwu Pass by Jiang Zhe, the Guanghua army was taken to the side pass by Lang Tan, Wu Jie, Sun Dazhi's army was left in Yanmen Pass, only these thieves with the army were all given to themselves by Yun Dasai, and the thief with the army had only one task, that is, to strengthen the city fortifications.

Su Shi remembered that he was joining the army, and he only needed to be responsible for the distribution of grain and straw and the exchange of money in the army, and he had to draft some documents, which should be all the responsibilities of joining the army.

Why do you have to mingle with these stinking and lice-riddled guys after you have done your duty to join the army?

If it weren't for the fact that the scenery of this Xiongguan in the world is really beautiful, Su Shi would have thought that he would have been a deserter a long time ago. When he thought of the light song and dance of the beautiful lady in Tokyo, his heart was as hot as a flame. Countless beautiful words erupted from his mouth in the bright lights, and it was the life he wanted to live, even if he was the head of the Fengyue team like Liu Yong.

Anyway, there is still an eldest brother in the hometown who guards the family business, and there is a younger brother Su Zhe in Tokyo City who can set up a household, and his father has earned thousands of family fortunes for the family, so there is no need to make himself miserable and seek for rice stalks. An idle person, when he is interested, he does something he likes, and if he is not interested, he will not go in vain in the world if he is in the Qinglou hook fence.

Su Shi stood on the top of the mountain and habitually looked into the distance, outside the Yanmen Pass was a large area of dry plain, just at the end of the dry plain, overgrown with willow trees. This is the only thing Gao Jixuan has done in office. It was a foolish thing that he was afraid of the vastness of the dry plain, so he planted willow trees on the edge of the dry plain, which was said to prevent the Liao cavalry from moving south......

Su Shi personally saw it when Tian'an sent someone to cut down the willow tree a few days ago. There are also no large mounds there. A little raised place. Crowded with dense graves, overgrown with alkaline grass and yellow artemisia, the wind swept through the alkaline grass. It makes a whining sound and gives a sense of desolation.

Probably due to the lack of water, there are almost no birds to be seen here. Looking up at the sky, the width is boundless, empty, as if there is a kind of regret, a kind of loss, a desire that is difficult to appeal to the emotion quietly rises from the bottom of the heart.

Su Shi really wanted to write a poem to commemorate his Yanmen Pass line, when he came to the exit, but he gave up, Li He's "Yanmen Tai Shou Xing" wrote all the heroic momentum of Xiongguan, so that he couldn't open his mouth, no wonder Li Bai said when he went to the Yellow Crane Tower: "There is a scene in front of me, Cui Hao's inscription poem is on it." "I'm in the same situation now.

"The black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it, and the armor light opens to the sun. The sound of horns fills the sky with autumn colors, stuffed with rouge and night purple. Half a roll of red flags is in the water, and the frost is heavy and the cold is silent. repay the king's will on the golden platform, and carry the jade dragon to die for the king. ”

Hastily recited Li He's poems as a tribute to the sages, Su Shi immediately pretended to be busy and kept pointing on the paper, regardless of whether those soldiers could understand or not, he just spoke his own words, because Yunda came up with a large group of generals.

"Dashuai, this is the north entrance of Yanmen Pass, commonly known as Baicaokou, which is one of the eighteen passes of Yanmen. There are two forts in one pass, Taihe Fort in the south, Changsheng Fort in the north, and the middle is separated by continuous mountains. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Baicaokou was the key point of the north and south, and the business travel along the Yanmen Pass Road continued. Set up 3 pass walls, 6 pass gates, 6 forts, all made of bluestone, it is really easy to defend and difficult to attack the place, as long as the defense is done properly, there is no danger of falling here, the Liao people regard the Yanmen Pass as a dangerous obstacle, and easily do not touch the Yanmen Pass, so there is a miracle that Gao Jixuan held on for 15 years and did not fall. ”

Li Dongchu followed behind Yun Zheng, pointed to the north exit in front of him and talked eloquently, very high-spirited, he went to Taiyuan back and forth but took more than 20 days, when he left, he drove lightly, but when he came back, he came with a large family, and it seemed that he was ready to settle his home in Yanmen.

"The east and west wings of Yanmen Pass are undulating. The ridge is long and narrow, its potential is meandering, and it goes to the east to the Pingxing Pass, the Bauhinia Pass, and the Backward Horse Pass, and reaches the Youyan Pass, connecting the Hanhai Sea; Go west to Xuangangkou, Ningwu Pass, and Yatou Pass to the Yellow River. There are only two gateways in the east and west, which are one of the few dangerous places in the north of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Great Song Dynasty wants to seize the four northern states, Yanmen Pass must be dangerous, and the iron fortress on the top of the mountain must be stepped up to build, this year is a warm winter, which is very beneficial to my city defense, once the time is missed, it is likely to be hated! ”

Li Dong Chuqi said: "Why did the marshal say this? Yanmen Pass is my Great Song Dynasty dangerous pass, and now there is a marshal personally commanding, gunpowder bullets are the only weapon for attack and defense, and the last general does not think that the Liao people have the ability to capture Yanmen. ”

Yun Zheng patted Li Dongchu's shoulder with a smile and said meaningfully: "Things in this world have always been unfulfilled, and the most unlucky things often appear when you are at your weakest, so ah, no matter what, let's put ourselves in an invincible position first." ”

Li Dongchu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If you want to understand Yanmen Pass, you have to say that you have to pay attention to the Saigu Road, which is seventy miles long. From the mouth of Taihe Ridge in the south, through Fulagou, Chengshang, Shiqianggou, Wujiayao, Heishiguangou, the commanding heights of the iron wrapping gate, down Zhaozhuang to Baicaokou, and then out of Liulin, Tongha until the end. The current pass road is preserved completely, paved into a road, a hundred steps and nine folds, the left and right cliffs are like cutting, in the eyes of the last general, this seventy miles of mountain road, it is enough for the Liao people to walk, here step by step crisis, when they go to the pass, 100,000 troops will also die half first. ”

Su Shi pouted and said: "Speaking big, you think that the Liao people are all dead people, don't forget to check that this is not the only one to enter the mountain pass, there is also a black stone ditch in the middle, which is 100 zhang long from north to south and more than 20 zhang wide from east to west." As long as the Liao people captured the Monkey Ridge, they did not have to take the dangerous road, and they could reach the Yanmen Pass safely, so the Great Wall must be built on the Monkey Ridge, and only in this way can the dangerous terrain here be used to the fullest.

Gao Jixuan, that idiot, has planted willow trees in this sparsely wooded land for fifteen years, what to say about defending the Liao cavalry, it's really a stupid idea, isn't this specifically to provide raw materials for the Liao people to make siege equipment? What did he think this was? This is not the Jiangnan where weeping willows are clinging.

This is a dangerous pass in Xiongguan, what you want is a killing atmosphere, what do you do with so many flowers? The willows had to be cut down, leaving only a two-foot-tall section to hinder the cavalry's advance.

At that time, Li Mu used Zhao soldiers to attack Lin Hu in the north and opened up Yunzhong County, and King Zhao Wuling defeated Lin Hu at the side pass on the bank of the Yellow River. The combat power is even above us, everyone knows that if you want to attack the city, you must have an infantry to cooperate, and even this point can't be imagined, I don't have to defend this Yanmen Pass. ”

Li Dongchu wanted to refute a few sentences, considering that this guy was Yun Zheng's disciple, so he didn't want to say more, but Yun Zheng said with a smile: "I know that if my arms have 100,000 jin of strength, I will definitely sweep the invincible army."

But, Su Shi, come and tell me, is there really such a powerful person in this world? ”

"Yes, Yellow Turban Lux! I heard that that thing can coerce Mount Tai and surpass the North Sea......"

Without waiting for Su Shi to mess around, Yun Zheng slapped him on the head and pulled his nonsense back into his stomach.

"You recruit me two Yellow Turban wrestlers today, and if you can't find them, I'll break your legs! If you don't listen to the reason, it's time to mess around, right? Think you're invincible after reading a little dead book?

Do you think General Dongchu and I don't know how to set up defenses? Do you think we don't know the importance of Monkey Ridge? That mountain is undulating, and if you want to build a city on it, do you think we can do it with our current manpower and material resources?

We don't have enough resources, we don't have enough time, and what we can do is very limited, just like I know that a warrior with 100,000 catties of strength can sweep away the enemy, but where do you ask me to find it?

We know that there are still loopholes in the defense of Yanmen Pass, but these loopholes cannot be filled by our strength, what is the difference between this and the distress of the warriors?

Up to now, you can only pick up the most important things to do, and what you want to build on Monkey Ridge is not a city, but a Great Wall! When you can't do it, you can only protect the vital points. What General Dongchu and I discussed was how to protect the vital point, which one wants you to talk more? Have you read the law in the army? ”

Su Shi lowered his head and didn't speak, as if he was angry, Yun Zheng ignored him, and continued to discuss with Li Dongchu where the most important place to prioritize the deployment of the army and how to form an effective command.

Yun Zheng looked at the fortifications scattered on the three mountains, sighed and said to Li Dongchu: "Although such terrain is steep, I am afraid that it is the time when the wisdom of the generals is most tested, and it is impossible for me to divide it into three ......people." )
