Wei River, this is the first big river in the territory of the Wei country, and it can even be barely said to be the only river, because it runs through the whole country, and there are hundreds of tributaries extending out, especially the main river, for thousands of years, it has flowed endlessly, raising hundreds of people on both sides of the river, and the reason why Wei Guo can use the land of two states can give birth to the courage to go to war with a big country like Liang with six states, I have to say that most of them have to rely on the fertile soil nourished by the Wei River, and it is precisely because of the planting of acres of rice with straight roots and full grains that Wei Guo can have such a deep heritage and strong national strength today。

As for whether the Weihe River is named because of Weizhou, the birthplace of Weiguo, or Weizhou is named because of Weihe, because it is too old, it is now impossible to test, but the status of its mother river is unshakable in Weiguo, not only the imperial court will organize Luo Tian Dajiao, but the people will usually spontaneously offer livestock sacrifices, even recently began to develop, but the Huangtianjiao, which was out of control, also compiled a new canon, respecting the god of Weihe as the daughter of the "only god", this move naturally helped them harvest a large number of believers.

The Wei River is very long, so the water potential presents regional characteristics, in the shallow place, the half-old child can easily cross the river by taking off his shoes and stepping on the stones, but to the deep place, the river presents a terrible dark green, at a glance, I don't know where the bottom is, and the whole Wei River water potential is the most turbulent, the scenery is also the most majestic, but it happens to be located in front of the Weiguo capital, as for the ancestors to build this city at the beginning, whether they have considered the problem of this naturally formed dangerous line of defense, the answer has completely disappeared in the long river of history, can only wait for the verification of future generations。

But it has to be said that this is a place where both sides know and default to the last and only place of engagement.

There are many reasons for both sides to come to this conclusion, the most important of which is that if Gu Xuan's side didn't think about rushing to the Weiguo Capital as soon as possible from the beginning, then the route of his entire march would be completely different, and this is where he was criticized and despised by Wei Chi Lide.

Wei Chi Lide thought to himself that if he were to use the troops himself, it would never be possible to expose his true intentions so stupidly so obviously, and he would inevitably choose to advance on multiple lines at the beginning, interfering with the enemy's line of sight and thinking direction, even if it was a random detour in the middle, in short, he must not go straight to his real goal with a stunned attitude, because once the real route is exposed, then there will be a lot of troubles that could have been avoided on the road, even if it may be said that the country is so empty that it does not have the ability to cause trouble for them in advance, but the work that should be done on the march and fighting is absolutely indispensable。

In addition, knowing that the other party did not break through from the Qilian Mountain, but took advantage of the desert to attack from the flank, so Wei Chi Lide concluded that this was a ragtag army led by a mediocre general, not to mention that he knew that the other party's soldiers were all Rakshasa clan, that is, the other party was not even a serious army, with his contemptuous attitude towards the Rakshasa clan all along, this was completely a subconscious judgment.

In fact, the reason why the two sides went to the same place again by mistake was because before Wei Chi Lide or Gu Xuan came, it was impossible to predict that Gu Cang would send someone to say such a sentence to him, which directly changed his mind, otherwise, according to Gu Xuan's original plan, he really wanted to wreak havoc in the hinterland of the enemy country, and it was impossible to choose to face the enemy's strongest fortress, especially the most difficult road.

Wei Chi Lide didn't think much about it, he only thought that the other party was eager to make meritorious service and solve the pressure on the front line, after all, the news of the victory on the front line must be publicized in the country, how can he know, plus the other party may also understand that no matter how they destroy the country, the army on the front line is already difficult to ride a tiger, and it is impossible to walk so far to rush back to fight the fire, just wait to break through Liangzhou, and then think about other things, so there is no need to waste time in other places, it is better to take the capital directly.

As for why they didn't take a detour and choose a better place to cross the river and come over, it was really too far because the river was surrounded by lofty mountains and mountains, and it was difficult for the army to march, even if they were all cavalry, but it would take too long to go around to a shallow and safe place to cross the river.

Gu Xuan trusts Gu Cang very much, and is absolutely willing to do his best to complete the tasks assigned by the other party, so he chooses to risk the taboo of the soldiers, and face the difficulties in this unfavorable terrain and take this most difficult level.

To say that the danger of crossing the river is absolutely unimaginable to ordinary people, because if the army wants to cross the river, first of all, the formation will be chaotic, and second, because in the turbulent river, it is difficult to stand firm, let alone form an effective counterattack, the enemy only needs to take advantage of this opportunity to attack, and it is easy to achieve victory, even with very inferior forces.

From ancient times to the present, the river crossing war has broken out many times, and the clever generals often adopt the same way, that is, the so-called "sound east and west" in the art of war, only by relying on this method to contain the enemy's attention, and then "secretly Chen Cang", after transporting a part of the troops unknowingly, the head and tail can be sandwiched, in order to win, if the force is too superior, then it is enough, anyway, no matter how to fight, you can win, but Gu Xuan's subordinates do not have the capital to gamble for the time being.

But this method of combat will not work here, because as mentioned above, this place is far from the shoal, and it will take a few days to go, and after really crossing the river, because of this detour, if they want to go to the capital again, they will have to take a farther detour, plus Gu Xuan and others are not familiar with the specific situation here at all, once the two sides are separated, they can only start troops according to the agreed day, and it is impossible to communicate again？

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for them to divide their troops separately, and this most simple and effective tactic in the battle of crossing the river can only be rejected in advance, and as for how to fight, it is necessary to find another good strategy.

I saw that on the dark green river in front of me, the water was turbulent, the speed of the flow was completely visible to the naked eye, a driftwood floated over, and in a few blinks of an eye it had drifted far away, and there were many places on the river surface with terrible whirlpools, some small branches were swept in, and they disappeared almost instantly.

The mountains on the edge of the river are like a natural wall, and they are just in front of them.

Think about the Rakshasa people who have lived in the desert for a long time, even if there is a huge oasis lake where they live, but it is used for drinking, it is the source of life for the whole clan, how can it be possible for people to go in and swim, even if it is a great chief whose authority is second only to the true god, it is impossible to do that kind of thing in the face of the world's disapproval, so when they looked at the river in front of them, they who were not afraid of the sky and the earth in the past, they couldn't help but feel stunned in their hearts, and their limbs became sore.

Gu Xuan stood by the river, looking at the dense forest on the mountain on the opposite bank, and frowned deeply.

In fact, he also thought about how difficult this river is to cross, but he really didn't think that it would be such a scene, to put it mildly, according to this scene, even if no one cares about them, they may not be able to guarantee that all of them will pass, not to mention that there must be enemies on the other side, because he almost told the other party in person, that he wants to fight this country, so as the masters of this place, where can they not come to collect some "road money".

But he had to pass through here, and he had to go over quickly, because he didn't want to delay the second brother's arrangement.

Gu Xuan bent down, picked up a slightly cleaner pebble from the river, weighed it slightly, and then raised his arms and threw it towards the opposite bank.

"Bang!"

The pebbles hit the rugged mountain wall opposite, and instantly shattered into a pile of small stones, scattered on the water surface, splashing a small splash, and what made Gu Xuan feel a little surprised was that the mountain wall that was smashed just now didn't even leave a mark, thinking that it should be extremely hard.

Behind, Lan Yunxuan stepped forward, Gu Xuan heard the movement, turned around, and saluted: "Mr. Lan!"

Lan Yunxuan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned the salute, and said respectfully: "I've seen the prince!"

Needless to say, Gu Xuan asked directly, "Does Mr. Lan have a way to cross the river?"

As soon as the words fell, a cold wind blew suddenly, and even the surrounding sky seemed to dim a little in an instant, Gu Xuan couldn't help but look up at the sky, only to see that the clouds overhead were overcast, covering the sun, and it seemed that it would rain soon.

At this thought, his mood suddenly became a little heavier, because once it rained, the water would only become more turbulent, which would only make the river more difficult, and it would do more harm than good.

Lan Yunxuan also looked up at the sky, and naturally saw this irritating scene, but his reaction was much calmer than Gu Xuan's, or rather, as if all this was expected by him.

"My subordinates already have a plan, but it's too risky, and I want to ask the prince to decide!"

When Gu Xuan heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward, and was about to open his mouth to ask, but Leng Buding glanced back at the dense forest on the opposite mountain, although he didn't see anything clearly, he still stretched out his hand and invited: "Mr. and I will go to the tent to talk in detail." ”

At this juncture, it's better to be cautious, after all, maybe the other party has amazing eyesight and is good at lip reading.

The two of them stepped on the stones all the way back to the place where they were stationed, and it was at this time that they heard an earth-shattering thunder explosion, and the rain above their heads poured down.
