In the second year of Taiwu, August 10, Chendan.

At this time, the sky in the Yanshan area is dark, and the clouds cover the morning sun, adding a bit of gloom here.

Tai Shi Ci set out with his own team of assault cavalry and an infantry battalion.

Since arriving in Jixian County the day before yesterday, Tai Shici felt that this road was becoming more and more difficult.

Although the Taishan army began to build roads after stabilizing Hebei, the roads in Youzhou, especially east of Jixian, were not built as quickly because of manpower and priority.

As a result, Tai Shici and others have eaten a lot of yellow sand along the way.

It wasn't until yesterday that they were stationed outside Lu County that the whole thing took on a new look.

Speaking of which, Tai Shici felt more and more that Changlin, the commander of Luxian County, was a talent. It is said that this person used to be a county magistrate in Shiyi, and later violated the will in the division of fields, and the problem of Shiyi is not that there is no land to plant, but that no one comes to plant.

Then this person was transferred to Luxian County, and was demoted from Jizhou to Youzhou, which must be degraded.

However, Tai Shici felt that this person had come to the same time.

Because this Lu County is in the middle of Jixian County to Lulongsai.

From Jixian County to Lulongsai, there are three transit counties along the way: Lu County, Wuzhong, and Xu Wu.

It can be said that the thousands of troops and horses that conquered Liao passed through these three places, and then arrived at Lulongsai to assemble.

In other words, the king will also pass through these three places, and this is where Tai Shi Ci said that Changlin's fortune lies.

As far as Tai Shici has seen, the best thing to do this way to entertain the army is Chang Lin.

In terms of the military system of the Taishan Army, during the internal march, the Privy Council would send the counties along the road in advance to prepare firewood, camp tents, and salt water for the Taishan Army along the road to replenish.

It can be said that the Taishan army was able to travel forty miles a day, and half of the credit was supplemented by such a road.

But the same thing is very different for different people to do.

And Tai Shici can see that Chang Lin is the kind of person who can do things.

Not to mention that ordinary people are relegated to the border area, there must be a little resentment in their hearts. But Chang Lin is willing to do things like this, and he still does things carefully.

And people are very proper.

For example, this hot water supply alone is an example.

Previously, when Tai Shici and them took Guangyang Road, the post stations along the road also provided all kinds of needs, but the things were not satisfactory.

But there was no hot water.

It's not that people don't take care of it, but this hot water will be cold after a long time.

When you arrive at the military station, the hot water is cold, and if you burn it, it is one thing whether there is such a huge amount of firewood.

So Tai Shici and they could only accept it, and they had to drink some cold and white.

But until they came to Lu County, they had the power of hot water. Shi Ci was too curious at this time, so he asked the little official at the military station, and then the people said that the county magistrate had already begun to arrange for people to report five miles away.

Once he saw the army of Zhengliao coming up, he immediately flew back.

Is this difficult? It's too simple, so to speak.

But there is no case of this in so many counties along the line, which is the gap between intentions and carelessness.

And who is the king? He came all the way, and didn't he see more than he was too Shi Ci?

Wouldn't a cadre like Chang Lin be appreciated by the king?

Thinking of this, Tai Shici, who was sitting on the horse, couldn't help but look back at Lu County behind him, feeling a little sour in his heart.

Hey, I'm afraid that the next time I see that Changlin, everyone will already be soaring.

I don't know where my Tai Shi Ci's encounter is!

When Tai Shici looked back, Guan Xing next to him thought that there was something wrong, and hurriedly asked:

"Ziyi, did you encounter something?"

Tai Shi Ci turned his head, squinted at Guan Xing, this kid, and saw that he had pulled out the ring head knife, and couldn't help but laugh anymore:

"Don't make yourself like a young chick. You have to learn this from your brother, it's not that your brother and I boast, don't say here, even on the battlefield where 10,000 people are fighting, I should also take a leisurely stroll. ”

Seeing Guan Xing, a young chick looking at himself with admiration on his face, Tai Shici's self-esteem was greatly satisfied.

But who knew that Guan Xing said something at the time:

"Who is the most stylish, brother or my stepfather?"

At this moment, Shi Ci held his breath and didn't want to pay attention to this kid.

At this time, Tai Shici also thought of the scene where Guan Yu called him over before.

Since the end of the Jinan War, Tai Shici has been reassigned to the Marshal Department of the Left Army, and was appreciated by Guan Yu, and was directly promoted to the position of general of the Commando Cavalry, which is already a middle-level military officer in the Taishan military system.

Tai Shici is of course grateful to Guan Yu, because he knows that his past resume has greatly influenced his promotion.

Because Tai Shi Ci was not only born in the Han army, but more importantly, on the battlefield of Zhongren Pavilion back then, he Tai Shi Ci killed the chief officer anyway.

Killing one's own commander is a taboo thing in any army.

Therefore, Tai Shici is quite aware of Guan Yu's kindness to him.

But just when Tai Shici was carefully working on his life in the Left Army system, Guan Yu called him over.

At that time, Guan Yu said something like this to Tai Shici:

"Now the king is using troops in Liaodong to ask for fierce generals, this rare time is the time for you to show yourself."

Then Tai Shi Ci was dizzily selected into the sequence of the expedition to Liao, and one of them was also Guan Xing, Guan Xing, the righteous son of Guan Xing.

This time is also Guan Xing's first battle, and it is not a blessing or a curse to go to Liao in the first battle of his life.

Just as Tai Shi Ci and Guan Xing were laughing, suddenly there was a sound of golden gongs from the rear marching columns, accompanied by a hoarse shout.

Tai Shici, who was already old in the army, immediately realized that there was an unexpected situation ahead.

Then he waved his hand to stop Guan Xing's chattering excitement at the beginning, and motioned to listen.

Gradually, the sound of the golden gong became louder and louder, and the screams behind became clearer and clearer.

Just listen:

"The king has an order, and he hurries to Lulongsai."

Tai Shi Ci was overjoyed when he heard this, and saw that Guan Xing was still ignorant, and scolded:

"Idiot, that's our chance!"

……

About half an hour ago, on the side of the road, twenty miles behind Tai Shici, a huge troop was resting here.

The banner of "Walking for the Sky" held high in the crowd of horsemen all shows that the former general of the sky, today's Taiwu King Zhang Chong is stationed in it.

In fact, it is also true, just behind a leeward hill, under an apricot yellow sky, Zhang Chong stayed here with He Kui, Fu Zhu, Xun You, and Tian Feng.

Because of the many days of marching, He Kui, Xun You, and Tian Feng, who were born as scribes, were all a little thin, but they were all frustrated with both civil and military skills, and they were even more radiant on horseback.

At this time, under the canopy, it was also the frustration that reported the information sent by the flagbearers for Zhang Chong recently.

It was only August, and they had only arrived in the Yuyang area, and they had not yet left the jam, but it was already a little cold in the early morning.

Even the thin shirts that Xun You and Tian Feng were still wearing, they would sneeze a few times in the cold, until the rampage outside would move in two braziers, and the two of them would be better.

So, just when the brazier was burning, Tian Fengcai, who had palpitations, couldn't help but say to Zhang Chong at the top:

"Your Majesty, this day is so strange. It's August, but it's like winter, and I don't know what happened to Saiwai further north. ”

Tian Feng is still the same as the northerners, and Xun You is from Yingchuan, so it is even more unbearable.

He will be wrapped in a big bag, and he agrees with Tian Feng's words very much, but he is more keenly aware of one of the problems:

"Your Majesty, although I am a little backward-sighted, judging from the weather this year, this winter will inevitably be even harsher. If this is the case, then the Xianbei people and Wuhuan people in the north will be even more unbearable this year. When the time comes, no, it should be this autumn, they will go south for the winter. ”

The people present were all wise men who knew the autumn in one leaf, and they naturally saw the changes in the situation in the north from the current abnormal weather.

Zhang Chong bowed his head, of course he knew that this was the result of the Xiaoice River period in the late Han Dynasty.

Zhang Chong, who had a deep foundation in science in his previous life, understood very well that the cold weather during the Xiaoice period was only a manifestation, and the accompanying droughts and floods were frequently alternating later.

The harm of drought and flood to the inland agricultural civilization is more disastrous than that of the nomadic people who went south.

And sadly, these two always happen together.

Therefore, Zhang Chong had the responsibility to do something during this period in order to protect the survival of Chinese civilization, of which the expedition to Liao was the most important.

Because the Hu people of the grassland and snow forest, they are also human, and they want to live in such a rare winter, and their only way to survive is to go south to the warm Han land and survive there.

At this time, Zhang Chong needs to stand up and beat these southbound Hu people, and then he can restrain them to become his own people, instead of becoming the wolves that destroyed the Han dynasty as in history.

That's what Zhang Chong is going to do.

But Zhang Chong also understood that even if he did all this, he conquered the Xianbei people, Wuhuan people, and Sushen people, and also collected them in the imperial system, but there would still be problems.

Because when these Hu people continue to move inward, it will become a problem for them to get along with the Han people in the interior.

How to deal with the Hu and Han issues will become a practical problem that the successors of the Taishan Army will have to face.

It's just that Zhang Chong doesn't need to think about this now, of course, he also believes that future generations have the wisdom to deal with this problem.

Now that Zhang Chong is aware of this problem, can't he eliminate all these Hu people first?

Not to mention that the population of the Hu people is also in the millions, whether it can be eliminated is a question. Just say that if you really dare to do this, then the Taishan army itself will be finished.

When the time comes, the Hu people, who have no way to live at all, what choice do they have other than to fight to the death with your Taishan army?

When millions of Hu people went forward one after another, helped the old and the young, and were determined to fight for their lives, how many divisions did you have in the Taishan Army?

Therefore, Zhang Chong knew that the best solution now was to eliminate the superstructure of these Hu people, and then move the vast number of tribesmen to the inner county and divide them.

Then, relying on the wisdom and patience of the Diadochi, he completed the historical proposition of the confluence of Hu and Han.

Coming from later generations, and as he learned more about this world, he became more and more aware that the Hu-Han confluence was like that tide, unstoppable.

It's just that what Zhang Chong did was that this time the Han people had to lead the confluence, instead of facing it passively as in history.

Thousands of thoughts flowed through his heart, and finally Zhang Chong just said lightly:

"It's going to be colder later."

After saying this, the four military advisors, including Fu Zhi, were silent, and they all understood what the king was talking about.

And now, when they really began to face the severe cold of Beisai, these subordinates, Jiuqing, and Shangshu really understood the deep connotation of this expedition to Liao.

Among them, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Your Majesty, judging from the information sent by the Fei Army now, the Liaodong side has obviously thought that our army is going out of the Northern Expedition to Xianbei this time. In other words, at this stage, our army has still not revealed its true intentions. ”

When Fu Zhu said this, Dong Zhao happened to come from outside, and he had already walked outside the tent, and he also heard Fu Zhu's words, the corners of his mouth were contemptuous, and he was disdainful of Fu Zhu.

Obviously, it was he, Dong Zhao, who planned this case, but now that he said it, it seems to be his credit.

Thinking of this, he called out loudly outside the canopy:

"I have important military information to tell the king."

Zhang Chong, who had already seen Dong Zhao, shouted without the rampage outside the tent to sing the newspaper again:

"Let Dong Neijun in."

So, Dong Zhao Shi Ran passed under the thorny gate of the rampage, and then took his clothes and entered respectfully.

After Dong Zhao came in, the ministers, including Xun You, were all solemn and smiling. People like them subconsciously avoid Dong Zhao, who is engaged in espionage.

Dong Zhao didn't look at those people either, and only bent over He Kui slightly.

He is considered to be from He Kui's line, and He Kui is the one who supports him the most in the court.

After that, Dong Zhao told Zhang Chong about an unexpected situation.

"The foreign army lurking in Liucheng carried the flag and sent a message with carrier pigeons, saying that the envoy from Liaodong was in Liucheng, and its meaning was unknown."

When Zhang Chong heard the news, he couldn't help frowning.

Xun You was also pondering, and said uncertainly:

"Did Liaodong discover our true intentions?"

Tian Feng shook his head and retorted:

"Probably not, otherwise the Liaodong side will not only have envoys to go, and they will have already brought reinforcements there to intercept us."

Zhang Chong couldn't figure out the reason behind it, but he was keenly aware that something was wrong.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chong didn't delay any longer, and directly ordered He Kui on the side:

"Pass my order, and the infantry army will continue to march concurrently, and one person with three horses will follow me straight to Luronse."

He Kui bowed his head and hurriedly wrote a military order, which was then stamped by Zhang Chong and reported to the whole army.

At this time, no one would obstruct Zhang Chong's order, saying that he should not take risks personally.

Because this is in the army, and in the army, only Zhang Chong's voice is needed. When Zhang Chong had already given the order, the whole army had no choice but to carry it out.

Therefore, there is a dead end ahead, and everyone must die together.

……

About a moment later, the three battalions of Flying Tiger, Flying Dragon, and Flying Leopard stationed on the periphery of the big tent suddenly galloped with ten thousand horses and rolled away towards Lu Longsai to the east.

And Zhang Chong's apricot yellow Daxu was left here as a way to confuse the Liaodong secret agents.

In this way, the Taishan soldiers marching along the road carried their bags on their backs, and looked at the roadside horsemen rolling up dust with confusion.

After being fed a gust of wind and sand, they cursed at the back of the rider, unaware that their king was among them.

Get it, get it, give the Tongliao people a little superhuman shock!
