Woling Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now the rebels are the defenders.

He Chunhua straightened his face and asked seriously: "Why did the lower official act?" ”

There was such a shocking thunderstorm in the middle of the country, and the national fortune hung on a thread, and the husband was still responsible, not to mention his dignified officials?

At this time, if you dodge, it will not be authentic.

Just as someone changed the tea, Sun Fudong took a sip of hot tea and asked a seemingly unrelated topic: "Lord He has been in Qiansong County for many years, do you know how the wasteland became the Panlong Desert, and the origin of the Red Cliff Road?" ”

How do you ask about this? He Chunhua frowned:

"It's a local story. About 150 years before the founding of the Great Kite, the land on which you and I stood was owned by the Xiluo Kingdom, when the Panlong Desert was still a wasteland, with slightly less rainfall, but there were woodlands and seasonal rivers. Well, when the Xiluo Kingdom was at its strongest, it built four counties and twelve cities in the west to guard this important road that runs through the east and west and is busy with commerce, and the largest one is Panlong City. ”

Later, Ciro gradually declined, and was defeated repeatedly abroad. Baling and Xianyou competed to encroach on their territory, and except for the Panlong Wasteland, which held onto itself, the western border of the Xiluo Kingdom was completely occupied. As a result, the Panlong Wasteland has become an enclave, hanging alone outside the border of Xiluo, two hundred miles away from the motherland. ”

He Lingchuan also listened to this history silently. The origin of the Panlong Desert has been heard by everyone in Blackwater City, and the original body is no exception.

"Baling and Xianyou attacked the Panlong Wasteland for thirty-two years, and the Xiluo defenders also held on for thirty-two years under the leadership of Zhong Shengguang, the commander of Panlong City, and every inch of land will be contested!" He Chunhua turned to his eldest son and asked, "Lingchuan, do you remember the name of this team?" ”

"Gale Army!" He Lingchuan nodded, "Perseverance is better than Populus euphratica, and loyalty alone is difficult to reward, and it is the Gale Army that is trapped behind enemy lines!" ”

The Gale army was besieged by two powerful enemies, cut off from the motherland, and lacked food and water, and could not receive the slightest assistance from Ciro.

And so, it held out for thirty-two years.

Such a legend is never tired of hearing it.

"In the twelfth year of the siege of Panlong City, Xianyouguo and Xiluo briefly made peace, and the Gale Army took the opportunity to send a message to the motherland. The monarch of Xiluo did not expect Panlong City to stand, and issued a decree to commend it, and at the same time transferred most of the elite of the Gale Army back to the country to suppress the riot. Dad didn't say anything more, He Lingchuan simply continued, "But Xianyou soon became at odds with Xiluo again, and the communication between the Panlong Wasteland and his country was cut off again, and the Gale Army re-entered the predicament. ”

Since then, the Xiluo country has been in war for many years, and there is no time to look west. The Gale Army held out for another twenty years in a situation of isolation and several losses of the main force. ”

The will of this army can no longer be described in steel. It's a pity that the main country is weak, and such a good soldier is blind in vain.

The country is not worthy of a soldier, He Lingchuan feels that this word is particularly appropriate.

"That's a good point." Nian Songyu gave him two applause, "But how did the wasteland become a desert?" ”

"The Gale army did not surrender until the death, and fought to the last man. Panlong City was also slaughtered by the enemy to vent its anger and leave no room alive. This is also the most classic story of the teahouse, "These battles are too tragic, and the anger and resentment of the heroic soul soar up to the sky and descend to the land, cutting off the vitality of Panlong City for a hundred miles, and the river is diverted, so the wasteland slowly turns into a desert." ”

"There's another way of saying it. Zhong Shengguang, the commander of Panlong City, was a powerful sorcerer himself, and he knew that it was difficult to support alone, so he gathered the power of tens of thousands of heroic souls when Panlong City was broken, and cursed this land, turning it into a barren land. He Lingchuan shrugged his shoulders, "In this way, Xiluo can't keep the land of the dragon, but neither can Baling and Xianyouguo." In fact, it is true that this desert is not owned by any country. ”

"What else?"

But Zhong Shengguang also left a glimmer of life for the living creatures entering and leaving the desert, namely Hongya Road. That's what the Gale Army used to take. He Lingchuan looked at Nian Songyu and said, "There are many details. If you want to continue listening, we'd better have a feast and talk while we eat. ”

National teacher Sun Fudong asked He Chunhua: "What does Master He know, and that's what he knows?" ”

"Almost." He Chunhua heard something strange, "What does the national teacher mean? "Don't sell it.

"It is true that the Gale Army is a division of steel, and it is true that the commander Zhong Shengguang is also a strong man, but after the main elite are all transferred back to China, why can the Gale Army be alone for 20 years? At that time, the army of Xianyouguo could already sweep through most of Xiluo, even if Xiluo still had famous generals, they couldn't resist it. Sun Guoshi said lightly, "You and I both know that this can't be done with enthusiasm alone." ”

The outcome of a war depends only on strength and weakness. The cruelest truth is that no matter how passionate the weak are, they can't escape the fate of defeat.

The enemy was so powerful, especially the elite soldiers of the Immortal Country, they launched more than three hundred attacks on Panlong City. At its peak, there were fifteen times a month.

How can the Gale Army, which lacks food, water, men and weapons, hold on?

In this regard, He Chunhua could only reply: "There is no way to judge the lack of historical data." ”

No matter how angry you are, after all, it is the past more than 100 years ago. The future generations can sigh, but how many people plan to dig deeper?

At least He Chunhua didn't, he had more important things to do.

"Sun Guoshi, what does the past of the Panlong Desert have to do with my big kite's current predicament?" It was impossible for these two men to come all the way to listen to his story.

Here's the highlight. Sun Fudong got up and took two steps forward, stared into his eyes and said, "That's what I'm going to say." The key to the persistence of the Gale Army may also be the key to us reversing the situation of the battle at Woling Pass and relieving the crisis of the national capital! He Junshou, this time you are duty-bound! ”

He Chunhua's face was solemn: "I would like to hear the details." ”

He Lingchuan felt that the other party was going to try to show up in the end, but he first buckled a big hat down, and he didn't know if his father could take it.

"He Jian, the chief bookkeeper of the Gale Army, followed Zhong Shengguang for many years, and died of illness before the city was broken. After Xian Youguo captured Panlong City, he counted his relics and found that he had a brief account of this history. ”

"He Jian's transcript was handed down, and after several turns, it finally flowed into the court of the big kite."

He Lingchuan couldn't help but interject: "It turns out that the truth has been hidden in my country, why haven't you seen history?" ”

Each country has a national history workshop that records the history of its own country and previous dynasties, especially the history of previous dynasties. The history of the country is often brushed aside, but the history of the former dynasties has been studied most deeply by the majority of scholars, from secret allusions to human nature, the reasons for which needless to say are understood by everyone.

And this kind of achievement is willing to be open to the people, especially the loyal martyrs of Panlong City and the Gale Army, which should be set as a model and educate the people, so as to reap the silent effect of moisturizing things.

Nian Songyu smiled: "Because, I can't say it!" ”

At that time, the transcript was so damaged that it could not even contain many complete words and could not restore the whole picture of history. But it's clearly written—"
