Chapter 11 Yannan Fortress
Yannan Road is an area sandwiched by two Xiongguan, and the adjacent interior is the Yannan Fortress of Xiongguan with Yannan as the Mingming, which is the north gate of Yannan Road. Adjacent to the grassland is the Yumen Fortress, known as the first Xiongguan of the Han Dynasty, and the southern gate of Yannan Road. These two passes wrap Yannan Road in the middle, and the mountains on both sides are undulating, and there is little place for people to walk, but the old hunters may know what sheep intestine paths, but if they want to cross the army, don't mention it.
The gate of Yannan Fortress is polished by a huge stone transported down from the nearby stone gorge, and then wrapped in hundreds of iron sheets before casting, and the city wall is more than 30 meters high. The pass moves in a "V" shape, and the entire attack surface is only less than 100 meters away. You must know that Yannan Road behind it has a population of more than 6 million, and there are eight cities that can accommodate 500,000 people, while the rest of the people live in scattered small towns, small towns, and villages. The huge space in the back, the north can only be walked in a hundred meters, the predecessors knew its convenience, so they built a Xiongguan on both sides, and guarded this vast plain like fish belly. Although this place is in the northwest, it is like a paradise.
"This is Yannan Fortress, it's really majestic." Xiao Ruo, who has lived in the capital with Meng Li since he was a child, was very happy when he saw such a big city at this time.
"Yes, the city wall is only less than 100 meters away, and even if he has a million troops, he can only look at Guan Xing and sigh, and his 3,000 elite soldiers are enough to block the millions of people outside the fortress. There is really a husband who is invincible. Meng Li, who was still happy about his future development, thought at this moment. This Yannan Fortress is so majestic, so what about the Yumen Fortress? It is known as the first Xiongguan of the Han Dynasty. Haha, these thousands of soldiers and horses can hold these two ends, and the rest is to accumulate grain in the hinterland, train the troops, and slowly become the emperor.
"My lord, please see, there are a group of sergeants outside this fortress greeting His Highness." Seeing from a distance that there was an army standing outside the fortress, Chen Qingzhi was also happy to say to Meng Li at this time.
What does this mean? This means that the soldiers and horses of Yannan Fortress have expressed their attitude and decided to surrender to Meng Li, no wonder Chen Qingzhi is so ecstatic. After all, if you want to fight, it is not easy to tackle key problems, and what you fight is your own subordinates in the future, and what you lose is your own strength.
"It seems that the battle in front of the lord is worth it! Not only did it play the prestige of the lord, so that the acceptance of Yannan Dao was more convenient, but also knocked out the internal adjacent brigade of soldiers and horses, and after that, unless there was any major change in the capital, the internal stability would be stable, and the main target in the future would be the Hu people who were about to move outside the city. As long as the Northern Xiongnu Department outside the Saiwai is solved, and the interior of the Southern Xiongnu is stabilized, and their elite cavalry is selected for their own use, they can only wait for the sky to change. Xu Shu was very meticulous at this time, planning the future development of his master. At the same time, he thought that the emperor at this time was Meng Li's biological father, and he explained very tactfully in his words: Before your Lao Tzu hangs up, let's clean up the nomads outside the plug, wait for your Lao Tzu to hang up, let's take the capital directly, and then go north to conquer the world with the power of a dynasty.
"Yuan Zhi, you, you~" Meng Li was a little crying and laughing at Xu Shu's vague point. Meng Li, who understands what kind of person he is, has no family affection for this cheap father, and probably only has a little gratitude left. I'm grateful that he was so good to his predecessor, so we decided not to go north while you were alive.
"Your Highness, they have come forward~" Meng Li, who was chatting while walking, unconsciously walked to the front of Yannan Fortress. According to the etiquette and the mentality that they were ready to express their determination to recognize the boss, at this time, before Meng Li walked in front of them, they all dismounted and ran to the front of Meng Li's team, bowing their heads and bowing down.
"His subordinate Yannan Fortress Captain Hu Guang led sixteen captains to greet His Highness, I believe that under the leadership of His Highness, we can touch His Highness's light to glorify our descendants." A few days ago, the smoke of gunpowder was filled with a hundred miles away, and he also knew that Hu Guang, who was holding you can't come, I or mine, had the urge to die on this wall after hearing the news of Meng Li's great victory, and there were senior warriors, senior generals, and senior strategists. If we had known about this situation and led these 3,000 soldiers and horses to the rescue, then we would have been meritorious. The high-ranking officials are mainly the trust of the lord is rising, how can it be like now, I have to guess in my heart whether Meng Li will settle accounts after the autumn and move himself to a small place to be a guard. So Hu Guangyi, who thought of this, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, let's just be loyal to him. There are a lot of senior personnel, but they also need young people to shepherd the Quartet, right? So what he means is that the villain led all the soldiers of this fortress to join you, and we will unswervingly follow you when you call the emperor in the future, don't worry about our attitude. After your rebellion is successful, this small gift will also glorify our children and grandchildren.
The soldiers in front of them moved out of the way on both sides, flashing a path for the five to walk amok. As soon as he saw this attitude, Meng Li, who was happy in his heart, led his three senior junior brothers to dismount and walk up. Do stance? I know better!
"Haha, General Hu is more polite, not to mention that our Han Dynasty does not have the etiquette of kneeling on one knee, not to mention that you are a soldier, you don't need to salute when you have a stomach! Hurry up, please! Meng Li, who happily supported Hu Guang with both hands, had a chrysanthemum-blooming expression on his face at this time, which was so amiable and respectable in Hu Guang's eyes. What a good example of comforting the people and the toiling masses. The meaning of the words is very obvious, with the Nine Emperor Sons Party, the general Shenma will definitely be given the title in the future, there will definitely be beauties surrounded by beauties, and there will definitely be those who eat fragrant and drink spicy food. In a word, following the Nine Emperor Sons Party, under the leadership of the party, closely following the pace of the party step by step, that is accurate! Verbally, they call you a general, what do you say?
"Oh, thank you, Your Highness~" Hu Guang was happy when he heard the title of 'general'. Sure enough, His Royal Highness still needs the young man to shepherd the Quartet, we don't have high requirements, and we don't ask for anything like four signs, four peaces, and four peace. Mixing up a general who is not a miscellaneous name is the pursuit of our life. High-ranking people eat meat, let's drink soup as a young general
"Your Highness Xie~" The young generals under his command were also secretly excited in their hearts. Look at the person who is not a loss to get the allegiance of a mysterious force who has been born to the world, we are happy to listen to this boldness, and we can't complain that others will be supported. Our boss has a hot mouth, and it's good that we can rub some flavor.
"Your Highness, please!" Hu Guang, who turned into a dog's leg in an instant, stood up behind Chen Qingzhi excitedly at this time, and invited Meng Li into the city.
Glancing at the location of Hu Guang, Meng Li was not surprised, because there has been a saying of civil and military discord since ancient times. There is also a saying that martial artists are important to each other, anyway, no matter what it is, it is certain that martial artists get together and literati get together, so Meng Li was not the slightest surprised, but this incident suddenly made him feel a sense of crisis. That is the dispute between the party and friends, when the lord is weak, he serves the lord wholeheartedly, and after the lord is strong, he begins to fight against the party and destroy his foundation. You don't see that many of the protagonists' biggest enemies in history have fallen on this. Therefore, Meng Li secretly reminded himself to pay attention to their lapun faction, but the manpower produced by the system should not have these problems, and it should be paid attention to these people below.
……
Along the way, Meng Li observed the people of Sene everywhere and found that their lives were still good, unlike those neighboring places in ancient times, all of which were poisoned by war, and the people were in a state of misery. It seems that the importance of these two fortresses is indescribable, and the people in them are simply a paradise. It will be easy for them to guard their homes and cities, because they have to protect their wonderful hometown. But it may not be possible to go out of the fortress to conquer, alas, let's talk about it later.
"The people's hearts are available, and besides, there are many young people but not much land, and this is a good source of soldiers for us." Xu Shu whispered to Meng Li. In his opinion, if the life of the people here is like this, even if it is one out of five, you can get an army of 300,000 in an instant. There is no need for this kind of recruitment, which destroys production.
……
"Your Highness, this is the courtyard vacated by the rich people in the city when they heard that His Highness came to rest and relax, and the villain's guard and deputy are too simple for His Highness to live." As soon as I heard that Meng Li, the Nine Emperor Princes who had won a great victory a few days ago, was about to come, and in the future, as the emperor of the soil here for them, all the rich people rushed to sacrifice their ancestral houses to settle Meng Li, even if His Highness didn't remember it in the future, but he could be touched with His Highness's blessings.
"Well, I'm tired." Seeing the courtyard with four entrances and four exits, Meng Li was still a little embarrassed. The scale of the yard of a rich man in a small fortress is almost as large as the one he lives in, what a local tyrant. Not to mention the rich people in the city. Meng Li, who had made up his mind in his heart to loot the big families in the future, brought a big disaster to these big families at this moment. In the future, every time Meng Li went on an expedition, he would find some big families to 'donate' military salaries. If you had known this, I don't know if those big families would have given him a single-room big tile house today.
After Xiao Ruo saw the house, he walked to the courtyard with a familiar car, found a bedroom for resting, and commanded the maids in the courtyard to start paving. In her opinion, this house is so noble that it is too earthy, and it is not as good as her own small home.
"The houses next to Your Highnesses are all accommodation provided by the wealthy Sennes, please come with me." Sent to the door, knowing that he was not an 'insider', Hu Guang, who should retire, sat up as a tour guide for the third brother.
"Lord, my subordinates retire." The two younger brothers saw that it was getting late, and there was such a great god as Dian Wei to protect them, so they retired.
"Your Highness, your subordinates retire." Hu Guang, who also saluted Meng Li and said goodbye, turned into Chen Qingzhi's dog leg and followed him to 'open a house'.
"My lord, click on the collection recommendation and don't hand it over, but there is no place for beautiful women." The vicious Hu Guang said sinisterly after seeing Meng Li turn his head and go in.
