After the water, there is the water. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After the soaking water is Jizhou.
When they arrived in Jizhou City, most of the traders stopped, sold the goods in their hands to local merchants as quickly as possible, and then purchased all local specialties as quickly as possible, and turned around and returned south.
Only a small number of traders, mainly small traders, continue northward, over the Yanshan Mountains and into the depths of the grasslands. At that time, they will not be selling goods for a long time, but also their own lives. Because of the lack of peer competition, they can often earn three to five times more profits than in Jizhou, deep in the grassland. However, at least a quarter of them are never heard from each year.
Many tribes will never pay when they can pay with knives.
Countless horse thieves hid at the junction of the mountains and the grasslands, staring red like hungry wolves.
As an experienced "old shopkeeper", Chai Rong certainly wouldn't use his caravan to feed those dissatisfied wolf mouths. Therefore, after arriving in Jizhou, he handed over the caravan to his deputy, Zhang Shun, who was responsible for getting rid of the goods, buying local specialties, and then returning with the brothers along the same route. As for himself, he only took the four most clever henchmen with him, and while continuing to accompany Ning Ziming to the north, he carefully inspected the terrain and military situation along the way.
Ning Ziming also took his brothers into the mountains to conquer bandits, and knew the importance of collecting intelligence for warfare. Therefore, without Chai Rong's invitation, he took the initiative to contribute. Relying on the past teachings of Chang Si, Ning Caichen and Han Chongyun, as well as his own perception summary, every time he picks up and fills in the gaps, he is exactly at the most critical point. Chai Rong was overjoyed, and unconsciously, he looked up at his third brother, who was sworn by, countless more times.
Everyone spied on the military situation and terrain in the Liao State, of course, they couldn't do it too blatantly, let alone let Han Jing notice it. Therefore, every day along the way, I was extremely careful. Fortunately, Han Jing's girlish thoughts had already completely pounced on Zhao Kuangyin at this moment, not only did she not feel that other people were acting strangely at all, but mistakenly thought that everyone was deliberately creating opportunities for herself and Zhao Gongzi to be alone, and her words were full of gratitude.
This beautiful misunderstanding made Ning Ziming extremely embarrassed. Whenever he came into contact with Han Jing, he couldn't wait to run to no one, so he immediately dug a pit and buried himself in it.
He can now cut off people's heads with throwing axes without hesitation, set traps for opponents without hesitation, and push enemies to a dead end without hesitation; But this guilt, he still can't find anyone to explain. Chai Rong did this so that the Han army could go north to recover Yanyun in the future, and the reason was above board. Zhao Kuangyin is now more embarrassed than anyone else, and if he doesn't make his words clear, the two brothers can continue to pretend that nothing happened. Once you get that out of the way, whatever choice you make is a dilemma.
"The tattered wall in front of you is Luronse. After leaving Lu Long, the task of this trip is completely completed!" As everyone's big brother, Chai Rong felt the abnormality of the two sworn brothers very clearly, and when he was camping at night, he leaned over to Ning Ziming and whispered.
"Where?" Ning Ziming looked up in surprise, and sure enough, on the top of the mountain not far away, he saw a section of the majestic Great Wall. It has been abandoned for I don't know how many years, most of the enemy buildings have collapsed, and the walls made of earth and stone are full of gaps. The width was large enough to run through four or five carriages side by side, and even in a narrow opening, it was more than enough for a strong man to walk sideways.
"This section of the Great Wall was built by Meng Tian in the Qin Dynasty and rebuilt in the early years of the Sui Dynasty. The so-called "Dan makes the dragon city fly general, and does not teach Hu Ma to Yin Mountain, it refers to this city!" Chai Rong is very knowledgeable, and in a few words, he clearly explained the entire historical evolution of Lu Longsai.
"Longcheng Flying General, is it Flying General Li Guang?" Ning Ziming shivered lightly, and once again stared at the incomplete ancient Great Wall, and there was a sense of vicissitudes of history.
Riding alone to shoot the tiger, the arrow is not a stone ridge, unsaddle and retreat from the enemy, lead but not send, sit in the right Beiping for several years The Huns did not dare to go south to herd horses, and finally could not bear the power and unleashed the sword. The allusions all revolve around the same person, and the image of the general created is almost perfect. (Note 1)
"Exactly!" Facing the majestic Great Wall, Chai Rong was also full of pride in his heart. "It's a pity that the Han Dynasty had just experienced the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms at that time, and its strength was not good, and he was a hero in vain!
"That, that's of course!" Ning Ziming's heart was hot when he was said, and he stood up straight with his hand pressed the steel whip, and echoed in a low voice. "General Li is brave and brave, and his military strategy is not under Wei Huo. That is, it is unfortunate that the wrong era was born!"
Saying this, he suddenly felt a wave of confusion in his heart. Li Guang is not the only one who was born in the wrong era. For example, the second brother Zhao Kuangyin, if he was born in the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, I am afraid he will be a famous ranger. And the eldest brother Chai Rong, with his ability and wisdom, whether he is in business or an official, his achievements will not be lost to Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li. As for himself, whether he is a carefree prince or a confused bandit, I am afraid that he is far better than now.
was thinking with emotion, but Chai Rong's slightly hoarse voice came from his ears. It's a little bitter, but it's more arrogant, "These days, you're not feeling good, and I'm the same for my brother." I never thought of using a woman to act as a shield for myself, but I can't miss this good opportunity to investigate the reality of the Khitans just because she came with me. The father-in-law has two wishes in this life, one is to end the troubled times, and the other is to recover Yanyun. I'm his son, I can't stay out of it!"
"This ......" Ning Ziming quickly turned his head sideways and glanced at Han Jing, still feeling a little weak in his heart.
The moment he woke up from his coma last year, he had forgotten all about his past. For a long time after that, he completely regarded himself as a little thief. What kind of national hatred, what kind of Khitan Central Plains, he has no concept at all. Until one day, someone forcibly put the identity of a second prince on his head.
Therefore, Ning Ziming always has a sense of alienation from the world outside his body deep in his heart. is not at all like Chai Rong, who has already regarded the reorganization of rivers and mountains and the recovery of Yanyun as his own duty in this life.
"Before that, I had already been out of the plug once!" Seeing all of Ning Ziming's performance, Chai Rong sighed lightly and added in a low voice, "I only wanted to make more money that time, so I went from Danzhou to Shangjing." I thought I could appreciate the prosperity of a foreign land, but I didn't expect ......"
A trace of gloom quickly flashed in his eyes, and then he became extremely determined, "I didn't expect to see a complete city along the way." Along the way, there were horse thieves everywhere and dead people's bones everywhere. Kumoxi, Xia, Turkic, Tiele, Sumo, these legendary tribes are all gone. The place where they used to rest is now only piles of soot. According to the confession of the horse thief I caught, there has always been a rule on the grassland that the winner takes everything, including the life of the loser. If a tribe is defeated, all men who are taller than the wheels will have their heads cut off......"
His voice was low, and his language wasn't too structured. But the picture described made Ning Ziming's cold hairs stand upside down all over his body.
In the 70 years from the Huangchao Rebellion to the failure of the Khitan Southern Invasion, not only the Central Plains were full of wars. Outside the Great Wall, there is a catastrophe. Dozens of ethnic groups and nearly 1,000 tribes, such as the Uighurs, Turks, Murwei, Khitans, Xi, and Tatars, attacked and killed each other in the vast land, embezzled and integrated, and the heads of people were rolling in almost every day.
The victor takes everything, and the defeated have nothing, including life. All men above the wheels were slaughtered, and everything that could be taken was loaded into wagons. Everything that could not be taken away was burned.
The city was burned and the fortress was leveled. Countless texts left by predecessors were thrown into the fire like waste wood.
The rules on the grassland have always been simple.
It's as simple as it gets.
The Xi people, who have always been known for their ingenuity, are gone. The Xiren, who has always been known for being good at singing and dancing, has also completely cut off his blood. The Turks and Uighurs migrated westward with their looted wealth, and most of the once prosperous Tays died by the sword, and a small number fled into the mountains and forests, completely degenerating into savages......
Dozens of peoples have disappeared, and hundreds of tribes have been completely reduced to ruins. When the Khitans finally gained the absolute upper hand in the fight and began to re-establish order under the leadership of Yelu Abaoji, north of Danzhou and west of Yingzhou, there was no longer a city wall to be found.
The Xi people, who have always been known for their ingenuity, are gone. The Xiren, who has always been known for being good at singing and dancing, has also completely cut off his blood. The Turks and Uighurs migrated westward with their looted wealth,
The Khitans, on the other hand, also regarded plundering as a way to create wealth. When there is nothing to rob outside, they will inevitably turn their attention to the south.
If it doesn't work once, it will come a second time.
This is what they do best to survive, and they will definitely not give up easily.
"The tiger and wolf are on the side, you and my brother were born as men, and they were lucky enough to learn martial arts, can't it just be to marry a few more women and eat a few more bowls of wine and meat?" Chai Rong's voice continued, firm and clear. It seems to be fighting for his approval, and it seems to be saying to himself, "If the Central Plains wants long-term peace and stability, the sixteen states of Yanyun must be taken back." Only by taking back the sixteen states of Yanyun can the fence be rebuilt and the Khitans, Jurchens, Murwei people, and all the Hu people who do not produce and only know how to loot can be completely blocked. Otherwise, no matter who becomes the emperor, there will never be peace in the Central Plains! You and my children and grandchildren will not be able to sleep day and night!"
Note 1: Unswordsmanship refers to suicide. Li He of the Tang Dynasty had "urging the list to cross the Jiangdong, and the gods wept to the wind." The king unleashes his sword today, where is the hero?", a black horse's tone, sighed that Xiang Yu should not commit suicide.
