7. White Water Stream Encounter (Part I)

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

What exactly went wrong with the Wusun people Le Mi did not elaborate, but it was clear that he himself was the loser or victim of this internal struggle, otherwise the old king, his second brother, Le Laso, would not have beaten him to the Han to ask for help.

If it was the victor, it would have been impossible for Ranlaso to order him to leave Akaya Castle to find reinforcements.

It is only a distance of more than 200 miles from Jiaohe City to Baishuijian, and if you go forward, you may still have a little more than two days, so although Li Shushi still habitually sent detectives to investigate within a radius of thirty miles, he actually didn't have much vigilance in his heart, not to mention that he already knew the movements of the Xianbei army and the small Xianbei troops left here.

It can be said that there is no force in this area that can have much influence on them.

But soon Li Shushi realized that he was really naïve enough, maybe he had some passive skills such as the aura of "trouble attraction" or the aura of "quasi-tragic emperor", so his "sweet dream" was destined to not come true.

"How could the Xianbei ranger appear in front?!"

Faced with the return of the scout, both Li Shushi and Ban Fu were a little confused.

Didn't you say that the Xianbei people who stayed behind were fooled to Bei 6 by the king of the rear of the car division? Bei 6 and here are separated by a whole Bogda Mountain, could it be that the Xianbei people flew over from the Bogda Mountain, or is it that the Bei 6 is too brittle, so the Xianbei people are ready to fight with those slave troops who originally stayed in Jiaohe City to fight back and forth to help the rear of the Che Division completely unify the northeast of the Western Regions?

A series of question marks quickly popped up in Li Shushi's mind, but now is really not the time to think about these things.

The key question is to take down those Xianbei scouts and search for whether there are more Xianbei scouts at the same time, otherwise even if Li Shushi and his party can avoid the other party, with the other party's excellent reconnaissance skills, it is not easy for Li Shushi to not be seen by him, and it is not easy to be followed by him in the future, and it is even very likely that the other party hangs on his own team and knows nothing.

This is not alarmist, after all, the other party is in the position of the tracker, and there are few people, so the target is small and easy to hide.

"We have to get rid of these Xianbei people." Both Lu Bu and Ban Fu agreed with Li Shushi's suggestion.

"But how can you make sure that the other party is all caught?" Zhao Yun expressed his concerns.

Dealing with more than 100 or even hundreds of Xianbei rangers is not very difficult for Li Shushi's department, which still has a total of more than 2,000 people, the problem is how to catch them all, Li Shushi does not want the Xianbei people to accurately grasp their marching route and the time it may take, after all, fighting with the Xianbei people who have been prepared for a long time is like fighting in the terrain that Li Shushi likes for Xianbei people who have been prepared, it is completely an act of seeking abuse.

After a little discussion, the plan was drawn up.

The plan was not complicated - the soldiers were divided into two routes, and Ban Fu led those with strong cavalry and archery skills and those who were good at tracking among the powerful private soldiers stayed together to drive and destroy the Xianbei rangers, and it was more than enough for Ban Fu's old cunning to deal with such an occasion. And Zhao Yun led the elite around Li Shushi and Luo He to sweep up the fish that slipped through the net in this area.

As for the rest of the people, under the leadership of Li Shushi, they quickly seized the Baishuijian Pass, whether the Xianbei people wanted to retreat or were forced to drive down, they had to pass through the Baishuijian Pass, so that they could easily cut off their back road with ease and hard work.

Of course, if the Xianbei people decided to break through to the east in a flash of inspiration, Li Shushi's side could let them go if they couldn't catch up, because by the time they brought the news to even the three thousand Xianbei troops in the vicinity, they were afraid that Li Shushi's side would have already slipped away.

Blowing the warm afternoon breeze with a little summer breath, Li Shushi stood on the slope of the Baishuijian Pass and looked down into the distance.

Water is the source of life, and this statement can be said to be true at all, especially in the land of the Western Regions. The slopes in front of me and on both sides were a blue with a hint of withered yellow, not the color of quicksand, but a sea of verdant meadows.

Because although there are no wide rivers in the Baishui Basin, the meandering streams are all over the sides of the mountain pass, and there are even some large and small wetlands in some places, so it is not at all obvious that this belongs to the northwest region where the average annual precipitation is scarce.

Although the slope is covered with a layer of gray but still tenaciously shows the green pine on its body, with the poplar forest, like a gray-green curtain, with the gust of wet autumn wind, the swaying branches bring a burst of green waves, making people feel that the fatigue of the original body is also dissolved with the light dance that belongs to nature.

Realizing the gift from nature, a spiritual energy called unyielding was infused into the body at some point, and fused with the burning battle spirit in the body to form a passionate emotion, which made people have more expectations and firmness for the next possible battle.

However, between the white sword and the green poplars that reached into the sky, there were many black spots that were somewhat scenic.

The black spots range from small to small and large to a large boulder, but the large one looks like a black hilt under a white sword, on which you can still see scattered turquoise.

In particular, an iron-black rock at the other end of the mountain pass is in the middle of the north pass of the mountain pass, and it is a very advantageous place, if you build a fortress there, you can control the entire mountain pass and incorporate the northeastern part of the Western Regions east of the mountain pass into the territory of the Han Dynasty together with Yiwu. Coupled with the Gaochang Wall in the middle, the Silk Road has a very stable passage.

Of course, it was precisely because he thought of the Daban Castle, which was originally called Whitewater Town in history but was eventually renamed for the convenience of the locals' memory, that Li Shushi suddenly understood what the black thing he saw was.

Coal...... This seems to be a deposit that is found all over the country, but it is of great strategic value.

In fact, the state itself is one of the main producing areas of coal, but it is only because most people have not found the correct way to use this mineral deposit that it is buried to this day, after all, it is not worth wood as a fuel alone, after all, wood is more readily available, charcoal is more readily available, and most importantly, there are no smelting furnaces that require coal.

However, even this can still make Li Shushi feel how amazing the wealth contained in the Western Regions is.

I remember a very classic quote from a certain smorgasbord of the Empire's Secretary of State - I buy it now, and many years later, our children and grandchildren will benefit from buying this land.

If you think about how many countries can go to war in the 21st century for a few islands, the area of more than 170,000 square kilometers in just six places is so jaw-dropping that people today are stunned.

Okay, that's off the road, let's turn our attention to the battlefield.

Yes, it has become a battlefield here.

Although there is no Xianbei person, this place has been transformed by Li Shushi.

Although it is very handsome, but in fact, it is just to build some simple fortifications such as rejecting horses and traps with the help of the terrain, although the entire mountain pass cannot be blocked, but the Xianbei people who are panicked are afraid that it is impossible to pass through the gaps on both sides of Guò, and Li Shushi still has enough reserves on his side, once the Xianbei people are really lucky enough, they must be left behind.

Although lining up the troops can definitely stop the footsteps of the Xianbei people, Li Shushi always feels an ominous feeling in his heart, as if there is an unknown danger waiting for him, this feeling is really very uncomfortable.

Li Shushi described his feelings to Lu Bu, to his surprise, Lu Bu was full of solemnity after listening to his story, such an expression is not common on Lu Bu's face, usually he is excited when he is an enemy, and he looks depressed when he deals with official business, and he is either very aggressive (to men) or gentle and considerate (to ordinary women) in his daily life, except for seeing such an expression on his face when he studied with Tong Yuan, Li Shushi basically rarely sees it the rest of the time.

It's just that every appearance represents Lu Bu's unusual attention to something or someone.

Well, the above sentence is actually nonsense.

However, it was Lu Bu who showed such an expression that expanded the scope of the detective's investigation to a range of thirty miles outside the north entrance of the Baishuijian Pass, although Li Shushi believed that those Xianbei people must have come from the north of the mountain, but because he did not understand their purpose, he did not dare to send scouts to the north excessively, if he was accidentally attracted by the other party, it would be a little more than worth the loss, but this time Lu Bu was extremely resolute.

"Whether as a warrior or as a general, it is better to believe in your own prediction of danger, because it often sees farther than your eyes, hears more clearly than your ears, and thinks more deeply than your brain."

No one seems to be able to prove that the Sixth Sense works, but no one denies its existence, and even veterans who have fought on the battlefield for many years value this intuition, and in their opinion, this mysterious feeling has helped them avoid many mortal experiences, and is even considered by some to be one of the markers of a warrior's rank.

It was precisely because of Lu Bu's insistence that the same line of defense was arranged facing the north at a position about a hundred zhang away from the improvised defense line to the south, and because it was in the middle of the valley, it was slightly stronger than the defense line in the south, although Li Shushi still put more energy on the south side.

But it turns out that although Li Shushi's luck is good, he predicted the possible danger in advance, but if it weren't for Lu Bu, maybe he really missed the reminder of fate because of his inexperience.

In fact, not long after Li Shushi and his entourage finished building those simple fortifications at the Baishuijian Pass, a report from the scouts returning from the north came:

There are enemies in the north, the number is unknown!

ps: Today is May Fourth Youth Day, and we don't know if we still belong to the energetic team of young people, but let's ......

PS2: Today is the day of the outbreak of the Coral Sea Battle in World War II. Although this was not a large-scale decisive battle, it still set a precedent - that is, the first line-of-sight naval battle, in which the victory or defeat of the naval battle was no longer determined by the sailing ability of the battleship and the aiming ability of the gunner, but by who detected the enemy beyond visual range and attacked first.

Although the two sides could barely be called a draw in terms of tactics and battle loss ratio, just as the Battle of Pingxingguan was a small victory, it marked the breaking of the myth of the invincibility of the Japanese on the 6, and psychologically cheered up the people, the Battle of the Coral Sea was like a great victory at Pingxingguan at sea, pulling the Americans out of the shadow of the defeat at Pearl Harbor.

PS3: Today is Audrey Hepburn's birth anniversary, she is the most beautiful foreign actress in our hearts, there is no one......

PSP: Today is the day of the death of Tito, the founding father of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The racial contradictions in the West have always been severe, the southwest of France is not stable, and the British Isles are even more wronged, but they are still a complete country......

Well, in fact, the reason why we mention Latvia is entirely because this country is actually the smallest country in the world with the smallest proportion of men in the population, with women accounting for 54% of the total population!
