Chapter 233: Water Control Peacock River I
Chapter 233: Water Control Peacock River I
The Han army was harassed by the northern Xiongnu army on the border, and the security of the Western Regions was not guaranteed, and it was hurriedly withdrawn from the Qishan region, and the Qishan city was a sea of fire, full of desolation.
This is the case in Qishan City, although the border people on the Han border are not too concentrated, the losses are great, not only the loss of houses and materials, but also a large number of casualties.
Wang Guifei Shuai did not return to Shanjun City, but rushed to the Han border with General Zhao's soldiers and rushed to the Western Regions Protectorate.
There is no point in the Han army's return to defense, the Xiongnu army labor force has long been fully loaded and does not know where to go, the king and concubine in the Western Regions have to give General Zhao a full intention, not only the victory of Qishan should be reported, reported to the Han Emperor, and the border war chaos should also be selectively reported, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, how to report is what General Zhao said.
In order to please General Zhao, Wang Guifei did not miss anything, in order to get the Han court to give the maximum amount of food and salary.
Wang Guifei stayed in the Western Regions Protectorate for more than one day or two days, she did not intend to stay, she wanted to study the situation in the Western Regions with the officials in the Western Regions Protectorate, analyze the overall situation in the Western Regions, and conclude that if you want to make the Western Regions completely calm, the Han Dynasty completely controls the entire region of the Western Regions, you must first completely destroy the national strength of the Xiongnu State, and if you can't destroy it completely, you must also expel the Xiongnu State to move across the Tianshan Mountains and stay away from the Han border.
Wang Guifei's meaning is already very clear, the main target of Zhao General Zhao Houye in the future is the Xiongnu State first, the reason is very simple, the ancient country of Loulan is mainly self-styled in Qishan, and it will not cause trouble to the Han border, only the main attack of the Han army, the main momentum, this is the status quo of the ancient country of Loulan.
The Xiongnu is different, the Xiongnu is too unstable compared to the ancient country of Loulan, its iron hooves are unlimited, and the Han border is not supported by other countries in the Western Regions, and the Han border is not supported by city walls, and the Han border is not a city, and there is no border defense of the Xiongnu's iron hooves, and the border people cannot withstand such an attack.
The general Zhao Chongguo thought that what Wang Guifei said was very reasonable, so he began to secretly send troops to enter the periphery of the Tianshan Mountains, and the territory of the Xiongnu State was tested for information.
The fire in Qishan City was extinguished, the city site became a ruin, the amount of labor can be imagined, nearly 20,000 people live, this is not just a light building, it is necessary to clear the ruins first, and then rebuild.
Time is flying, the soldiers of the Loulan State are responsible for the removal of the national ruins, and the new residences are naturally built according to the original site, the height is not controlled, the area has a unified street, it is completely limited, and it cannot be built beyond the area.
During the period when Qishan rebuilt the city, due to the guidance of Wang Guifei's words, all the forces of the Western Regions Protectorate were directed to the Xiongnu State, a restless country in the Western Regions.
The Loulan court was soon built again, and the court meeting was officially settled, and the civil and military generals were holding their breath in their hearts, and the hearts of the people were not resentful of the Han Dynasty, and it was impossible not to resent!
The court meeting began with the arrival of Princess Lan Qi'er An Ran, and the six ministers knelt on the ground and began to play, and the loss of the burning of the national city this time, all kinds of losses and the consumption of materials, all the statistics are amazing, and they are huge.
This kind of loss shows that this is also in Qishan, there are primeval forests and rocks in Qishan, primeval forests and rocks are ready-made raw materials, there is no need to choose, there is no need to go to various countries to purchase, the people can obtain and complete it, if the original Loulan City, the current good county city is divided, it is not so easy to rebuild, and it will not be possible in a few years.
The six reports of the loss are over, and the Han army can enter Qishan City twice without hindrance, and the reconstruction of the new city is not easy, and it really can't withstand the capricious entry and exit of the Han army?
One is that the city can not afford to be destroyed, the second is that the people have no possibility to hide, if the Han army attacks the city of Qishan again, the Han army will block all the passages out of Qishan, and the illusion of the people out of Qishan will not have a third time, if the Han army is prepared, it will definitely go all out to find it in Qishan, and then it must be the time of the decisive battle, and the people will live and die at a moment!
Lan Qi'er explained what she thought in the court, and the holy decree was also issued, that is, all the courtiers of the six ministries must come up with opinions that are conducive to the survival of the people and can protect Qishan City after three days.
The courtiers got the holy decree, bowed down and retreated, dozens of courtiers, everyone had to return to the ministry to discuss together, this is really related to everyone's fate, life and death!
Three days was not a short time, of course, the eighteen hussars were still in trade, and the officials of all ministries also gathered at the ministry site after dealing with their own affairs to discuss the emperor's holy decree.
Princess An Ran and her husband Ye Feihong are inseparable from each other every morning, they stay together, they are together at home, and they are walking together at the pass gate and Qishan, not how sticky the two are, they are discussing the matter of protecting the country and protecting the people and resisting the enemy, the main focus of the two is on the pass gate, after all, the pass gate is dangerous, is the pass so useless?
Emperor Lan Qi'er was depressed in the imperial study every day, thinking about it, and from time to time out of the palace, walking around Qishan, imagining how to deal with the Han army again, because the Han army had a way to deal with the pass city wall for a while, and its main mind was placed in the north of Qishan, in the mountains in the north of Qishan.
With the investigation of many days of military detectives in the Protectorate of the Western Han Regions, the situation in the south of the Tianshan Mountains and the area looking at the Han border has been presented on the sand table.
Several banner stations of the Xiongnu are also clearly reflected in the sand table, the general Zhao Chongguo has reported his plan to the Han court, the Han Emperor Liu Xun has absolute trust in the general Zhao Chongguo, the holy decree is inevitable, General Zhao began to secretly transfer troops, ready to give the Xiongnu a devastating blow.
The court meeting in Qishan City is open, and the political meeting that Lan Qier wants is over, and with Lan Qier and Princess An Ran seated, the ministers can be divided into departments and begin to play, which is all dialectical and reasonable.
There are two courtiers' political opinion that the loss caused by the Han army's burning of the city to the people is serious, of course, the heart is intensified, if the Han army attacks Qishan City again, the whole country will defend it, the army can be invested in batches to defend the city, the middle manpower gap can be played by the people, the national disaster is the head of the horseman's responsibility, so as to achieve a great increase in the number of soldiers, the assertive view is naturally to hold on, let the fish die and the net is not in the humiliation of the burning of the city, here I have to explain, this is also the anger of most of the people.
There are also a few officials who have dissenting opinions, that is, if you choose to fight, the main battle site should not be the city wall of Qishan Pass, where the Han army is already too familiar, it is not conducive to the stubbornness, there is a fixed and mutually neutralized military strength, it is not conducive to the Loulan army, blindly dodging nature is not a good way, with the matter of burning the city, now the re-battle must be won or lost, the battle is certain, the main battlefield should be selected in the northern mountainous area of Qishan, including the primeval forest in the north of Qishan, so that it is possible to minimize the casualties of the army, Even soldiers can use natural hazards to be one as ten, as a hundred!
The civil ministers and generals in the court have all spoken in the court, and the political opinions are becoming more and more concentrated, more and more unified, and more and more clear, that is, if the Han army comes again, it will be the main battle, the Qishan Pass is a place to give up, and the main forces are placed in the north of Qishan, this political opinion also coincides with Lan Qier's thoughts, and the political discussion is still satisfactory to Lan Qier.
Princess An Ran and Ye Feihong also had ideas in addition to walking at the pass gate in the past few days, and after the argumentation and deliberation of the two, Princess An Ran stood up from the chair from time to time, bowed deeply to Lan Qi'er and said: ...... does the empress princess have political opinions to talk about?
Lan Qi'er said: Okay, good, the princess wants to talk about it, so let's say it?
Princess An Ran said: The political opinion of the ministers is also agreed by the princess, that is, all the soldiers are mainly defended in the north of Qishan, and my political opinion is that in addition to the heavy defense of the north of Qishan, the pass gate cannot be easily sent to the Han army?
The princess's political opinion is that there are nearly 100 meters in front of the pass to the outside of the two mountain passes, and now the Han army has a strategy to deal with our pass and the mountainside, whether we can expand the moat and expand it, if we can expand the front of the pass gate to the outside of the Qishan Pass as a moat, I believe that the pass gate can definitely block the Han army from attacking it, and block the Han army outside the pass.
This princess thinks that it is to take 10,000 steps back and say, if the moat outside the pass gate is broken by the Han army, it will definitely suffer heavy losses, the moat can not be laid by boats and planks, and our army has time to retreat to the primeval forest.
On the one hand, the Han Dynasty has 30,000 troops assembled within the moat of the Western Regions, which is convenient for assembly, and the grain and grass are relatively sufficient at all times.
On the other hand, Shanjun City can play the role of a springboard for the Han army and a turnover station, which greatly facilitates the Han army to attack our Qishan City.
Ministers, I don't know if I thought of why Emperor Loulan built a city by the Peacock River, that is, there is water, I want to make the current Shanjun city can not become a turnover station of the Han army, the way is there, my Qishan is the outflow of water sources, it is completely able to control the water, there should be a large number of soldiers and materials of the Han in the city of Shanjun, the water is controlled, there is no water in the Peacock River for a while, the Han soldiers in the city of Shanjun will be withdrawn, and they will return to the Han border.
The Han army wants to attack my Qishan City, there is no resting place, so that the labor army will make its soldiers tired, and the change of direction will be convenient for our army to fight, the Han army will not attack it for a while, there is no Han army stationed in the city of Shanjun, and it will be convenient for the trade building in Qishan in the future, and there will be no attack by the Han army in the city of Shanjun, and I believe that the caravans of various countries should be occasionally driven by interests.
Ministers, this is just my personal idea, if it can be used, please improve it in the political discussion, I think it will be more conducive to Qishan to stick to it, the empress My political opinion is finished, you carefully consider it.
Princess Enran's political opinion was said in the court, and the empress Lan Qier and all the ministers were more convinced after hearing it, thinking that it was absolutely reasonable, and the water control was discussed by the court, and for a time it was naturally implemented in one with the moat, and it could be completed together, and after the implementation of the one, it could not only enhance the defense capability of the pass, but also force the soldiers of the Han Dynasty out of the good county city and stay away from Qishanzhi, which is really a good political opinion.
Empress Lan Qi'er heard Princess An Ran's political views on the dragon chair, and of course she was happy in her heart, through Princess An Ran's narration, she seemed to have seen that the princess in Shanjun City had no choice but to lead the army to withdraw from Shanjun City due to the disappearance of the water source in the Peacock River, and also saw that when the Han army attacked the Qishan Pass, she was temporarily isolated outside the wide moat.
So immediately issued a holy decree, and everyone went to the gate of the pass after the court meeting, and studied together how to transform the moat, how to control the water and change the river.
As soon as Lan Qi'er's holy decree was issued, the ministers stopped talking, and knelt down to accept the decree one after another, and then went to the pass gate together.
