Section 1038 Wangcheng stops the cold

The White Dao is part of the Qin Straight Dao. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

But at the same time, it is older than Qin Zhidao.

It has existed since at least the Spring and Autumn period hundreds of years ago.

It is a path that the ancient ancestors walked with their feet.

However, in the hands of the Qin people, this ancient road was widened, reinforced, and extended.

Eventually, such a road appeared that ran from north to south, hundreds of miles long, to Gaoque.

Because the Qin people gave up the Hejian Land so quickly, that the Xiongnu acquired the entire Hejian Land almost without much effort.

Therefore, the white way is still unknown today, and it is only circulated among merchants and herdsmen.

But in history, this ancient road was bloodshed after the Han Dynasty.

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, this road was an important passage for the Northern Wei regime to control the Hetao area.

In the Northern Qi Dynasty, when Emperor Xuanwen Gao Yang led his army to break Rouran, he left the logistics baggage in Baidao.

During the Sui Dynasty, Yang Shuang, the king of Wei, broke the Turks here.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks also killed Liu Wuzhou here.

During the Anti-Japanese War, General Ji Hongchang wrote the words "turning danger into relief" in his own handwriting, praising the role of Baidao.

Of course, none of the current generals of the Han army know these things.

However, seizing the white road immediately after leaving the fortress is something that anyone with a little military common sense will inevitably do.

The reason is simple.

When the Han army entered the Saiwai grassland from the Heishui River on the side of Yunshan, the white road was the first road that appeared in front of the Han army, and it was also the only man-made road.

Moreover, the road is still very wide and very strong!

The Qin people built roads and have always been known for their quality and efficiency.

Qin Zhidao, Qin Chidao, has even been used by descendants for a thousand years.

Countless dynasties lay on the merits of the Qin Dynasty, and hiccuped comfortably.

Until, the Qin people's roads were no longer usable......

Until, there was a second stunned person - Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui.

Therefore, Baidao must be able to carry the Han army's heavy-duty supply wagons and various heavy equipment.

Even more in this winter, there are few roads that can avoid the army getting stuck in mud and cold winds.

What's more, the white road leads directly to Gaoque.

After occupying this road, the Han army could follow the road and go straight to Gaoque.

Yi Zong rode a war horse, standing on a small hillside, looking at the scene of the main force of the Han army, moving along the white road.

In the distance, a ruin that has been abandoned for a long time, leaving only two ruins, is clearly visible.

"That's Qin's new Yongsai ......" Yi Zong took the map, compared it, and said with emotion: "The vicissitudes of life......

Back then, Meng Tian led the most elite army of the Qin army to the north to expel Hu Lu, and the powerful Qin army drove away the Xiongnu, Lou Fu, Lin Hu, and Donghu without much effort!

Then, the Qin army occupied Yinshan and advanced out of Yinshan, using Yinshan as a base point to redraw a new defense system.

From the south of Yulin Sai, 27 military fortresses and 34 counties were established one after another.

At that time, the Qin Empire was still the invincible empire that swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger, looked down on the world, and overwhelmed the world.

Therefore, the ambition of the Qin people is also amazing.

On this land, they set up two county-level administrative units.

To the south of Gaoque is Jiuyuan County.

To the north of Gaoque is the so-called 'New Qinzhong'.

It is clear that the Qin people hope to build this place into a second Guanzhong.

Not only did they immigrate on a large scale, but also in this place, many names of Guansai were named Guanzhong places.

For example, the 'Xinyongsai' that has been abandoned, and the 'Xinxianyang' and 'Xin'anyang' that are also buried in the ruins......

Qin Shi Huang and Meng Tian obviously hoped to completely control and control this place through this.

But......

With the death of Qin Shi Huang, the situation in the world was overturned in an instant.

The empire has lost its controller and leader.

The second who ascended the throne, calling him a fool is an insult to a fool!

Yizong even felt that even if he let a pig sit in the position of the second, it would not be worse than what he did.

In just a few years, the hegemony of the Qin Empire was buried by that fool.

Not only that, but he even lost the Empire's bottoms.

Since the filial piety, the seventh king of the Qin people, the foundation of more than 200 years, once lost.

Look at this sturdy and wide road under your feet - even though seventy or eighty years have passed, although it has been overgrown with weeds, this road is still there, and it is still strong.

Yi Zong became more and more convinced that Jia Yi and Jia Changsha's comments were not wrong back then-Xiang Zhi II only had the posture of a middle-man, and the Qin Empire would not collapse.

Of course, Yi Zong wisely did not say these words.

He took the map, compared the information, and said: "Our army has reached Xinyongsai, and it is only a hundred and ten miles away from Ziling!" ”

He ambitiously ordered to the left and right: "Pass on my military order: The whole army must speed up, and be sure to reach the high ground on the side of the Ziling occupied by the 'New Xianyang Fortress' before dusk this afternoon!" ”

"No!" Left and right are full of promises.

Immediately there were heralds who conveyed this order to the whole army.

"The messenger sent to inform General Shangjunwei doesn't know if it's arrived?" Yi Zong muttered to himself.

This time, he commanded the army and went out first.

Although it can be interpreted as 'will be outside, the king's order will not be affected'.

But the key depends on whether people recognize it or not.

This matter, if Zhi Du admits it, then it is not a big deal.

But if Zhi doesn't recognize it, then it's a lot of fun.

It is estimated that this lawsuit will be fought unclearly.

It may even become a public case or an unsolved case!

Think about it, if General Wei Zhi thinks that it is the chariot (Yizong) who wants to be greedy for merit, his subordinates will make another noise, hehe......

What's even more troublesome is that Yi Zong knows very well that because of his move, it will definitely cause the Zhidu Department to fall into trouble or even disaster.

If Zhi suffers a loss, and then puts his heart sideways, he can completely blame him for the responsibility and problems.

Although Yizong is sure that Zhidu has a good character, he should not be counted.

But knowing the face of the person does not know the heart.

In the political arena, who can say for sure?

What's more, this matter also has a bearing on the lives and deaths of more than 15,000 people and the future of dozens of generals.

Therefore, at this time, Yizong is actually nervous.

Thinking about this, Yi Zong had to sigh twice.

At this time, a herald galloped over, and as soon as he arrived in front of Yizong, he immediately turned over and dismounted, gave a military salute, and presented a military report, saying: "Captain Hu Benwei Cheng is urgent!" ”

Yi Zong immediately stepped forward to take it, looked at it, and was immediately overjoyed, and said: "Please reply to Cheng Duwei: I will look at Du Wei, make persistent efforts, and make new contributions!" ”

But it was Cheng Buzhi who came with good news over there.

Cheng doesn't know the department, and the Yizong department is the same, and they all went out yesterday morning.

But the difference is that Cheng Buzhi's department is from Xingle Sai, crosses the Dahei River, and goes straight to the flank of Ziling.

According to the military report, Cheng Buzhi had already annihilated a hundred-strong Xiongnu ranger on the side of the big river about 50 miles northwest of Ziling, and was still continuing to march rapidly in the direction of Ziling.

According to the pre-war plan, if nothing happens, by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, Cheng Buzhi's troops should at least block Ziling and control the main road in and out of Ziling.

Open a passage for the main forces of the Chinese army.

A road to the high gate.

But it's not easy!

Especially in the ice and snow outside the plug, Cheng Buzhi has no white road to do, so he can only trek on the grassland and march in the mud.

This is a serious test of the physical strength and endurance of the whole army!

………………………………………………

At this moment, Cheng doesn't know what he is doing, and it is indeed very difficult to march.

The cold wind outside the plug, with wind and sand, hit people's faces, and it hurt badly.

There was a light rain in the sky again, and the road surface became muddy.

As a result, many soldiers were limited in their speed on the move.

Fortunately, this time, the Han family made full preparations.

With the efforts of the tunnel camp and the people, a simple marching pot was quickly set up.

Bowls of hot ginger soup, topped with salt and cheese, were served to the soldiers.

This allows the soldiers to dispel the cold and regain their strength.

However, camping there tonight has become a problem.

Fortunately, the cavalry of the Lou Fu Army are acquaintances on this grassland, and they know very well what kind of place they should look for to spend the night on the grassland.

Last night, it was under their guidance that Cheng Buzhi was able to find a warm valley to camp in the cold.

But......

The next place where you can camp is still seventy miles away from Cheng Buzhi's department!

If it's a single person, or a small team, seventy miles, it's a blink of an eye!

If the army led by Cheng Buzhi is an old soldier, he can also arrive before sunset.

However, Cheng doesn't know what he does, not only is the scale huge, the total number is nearly 20,000!

What's even more troublesome is that more than seventy percent of the soldiers are recruits!

In particular, most of the Modao soldiers are from the Huaisi region in the south.

Many of them have never seen snow in their entire lives.

Not to mention braving the cold wind, marching on the vast grassland, trekking through the mud.

Not to mention that this is the territory of the enemy country, and the Hun cavalry may appear at any time.

However, it is impossible for the Han army to fight on the inner line as in the past, and it can get the assistance of the common people.

As a result, the march of the army was slowed down to ten miles in an hour!

It's like a snail crawling!

Cheng Buzhi knew that he had to find a way to make the speed of the army faster.

Otherwise, if you can't find a camp before nightfall.

Marching in the dark of the Saibei night is very likely to have catastrophic consequences - countless soldiers will be left behind, lost, and then die in the cold night of the Saibei.

The temperature on the grassland is so low at night, Cheng Buzhi has already understood it!

But what to do?

Cheng scratched his head unhurriedly.

The situation now is such that the recruits have absolutely no experience of marching on such dirt roads.

Even the cavalry of the Lou Fu army were not very able to adapt to the marching speed of the Han army.

In order to maintain a strong and intact organization at the head and end of the great army, the army can only sacrifice speed.

Otherwise, the cavalry will run away without a shadow at once, leaving the foot soldiers to push the chariots and horses and baggage, and as soon as the enemy appears, there will be an avalanche immediately!

You know, not long ago, the vanguard cavalry of the Han army found and annihilated a Xiongnu scout on the left flank.

This means that it is highly likely that the Huns already knew that the Han army was out of the fortress.

Soon, by tomorrow at the latest, Cheng Buzhi will face an attack by the Huns.

It is even possible that this evening, the Han army will face the investigation and night attack of the Hun cavalry.

Cheng Buzhi's breathing became rapid because of this.

Leading the army alone for the first time made him feel a great responsibility, and his heart was always tight, for fear that something would go wrong.

But the more nervous he is, the more stressful he is, and the more stressful he is, the more chaotic his mind becomes.

There was no way, Cheng Buzhi had no choice but to ride a horse, constantly urging the soldiers to speed up.

However, this speed has never been raised.

The recruits are in the same state of excitement and nervousness as Cheng Buzhi.

The vanguard of the former army beheaded a hundred, which made them full of desire for fame.

But the muddy grass and slippery roads made them irritable for no reason.

Many of the Modao soldiers from the Huaisi region even began to complain.

"This damn road!" Countless people cursed in pain.

But there are also optimists.

For example, the soldiers from Qilu gave full play to the characteristics of the Qilu region, and some people fantasized and said: "It would be nice if we could find a fortress, didn't the Qin Dynasty build many fortresses in this place between the rivers?" If there is a well-built walled city, we can sleep comfortably tonight......"

"yes, yes......" The others chimed in.

This made Cheng Buzhi a little annoyed.

Qilu's soldiers are highly disciplined, well-organized, and obey orders, but there is a shortcoming, it is too romantic!

This is also the characteristic of Qi people.

Qilu has been a rich land of fish and salt since ancient times, and the local people, above the self-cultivated farmers, do not have to worry about food and clothing.

This also makes the people here have a lot of ideas and some romance.

For example, today's Legalists are divided into Qi Legalists and Qin Legalists.

Confucianism is also divided into the difference between the Confucianism of Qilu and the Confucianism of the North.

Even, the old Huang school is also mutating in Qidi.

In short, Qi people can always use their ideas to make many things unrecognizable.

However, the discussion of these Qilu recruits made Cheng Buzhi suddenly suddenly.

He immediately thought of a solution!

"Command the whole army: Fifty miles in front of our army, there is a Qin people's military fortress, which can protect against the wind and cold!" Cheng Buzhi immediately called the herald to give the order.

Immediately, the order spread throughout the army.

At first, Cheng Buzhi was still a little apprehensive.

But, soon he found out that the effect was amazing!

After hearing that only fifty miles ahead, there was a Qin military fortress, which was well preserved and could hide from the wind and cold.

Qilu's soldiers were the first to get up.

Under their leadership, the marching speed of the entire army was more than doubled at once!

Even the Lou Fu army was greatly boosted by this and their morale was high.

This makes Cheng Buzhi very strange: a military fortress that can keep out the cold has such a great charm?

But how did he know that for the soldiers, it would be natural for them to sleep on a dry and comfortable bed at night and soak their feet in the boiling hot water!

Relying on this white lie, Cheng Buzhi finally arrived at the valley on the northwest side of Ziling before dark. (To be continued.) )
