Chapter 393: Xuanwu Suppression Array, Huaxing Fuqing (I)
In the year 345 of the Han calendar, the tenth day of the third month.
The cold winter has passed, and everything is growing.
Cangcang Yunsong, on Jiafu Mountain, outside the dusk, a group of soldiers with incomplete armor and untidy clothes and shoes are holding broken bowls one by one, surrounding a cauldron, jumping up and down in a hurry, looking at the eyes.
What was boiling in the pot was the venison that their Jiang City Lord had sent them all the way, which was a delicious meal that could only be eaten on the tenth day of the month, and it was also one of the few expectations of their group of old men who no one cared about.
......
Speaking of this group of veterans, I have to talk about the geographical location and development path of the Jiang family again.
As we all know, the state pastoral office of Quzhou is Taihao City, Jiang Feng and his father Jiang Cang, as the current and former Quzhou pastors, led the Jiang family to multiply here for nearly 40 years, so if you want to talk about the development of the Jiang family, it must start from Taihao City.
In fact, the Jiang clan is based on Taihao City and relies on Taihao City to grow stronger.
Forty years ago, Jiang Cang made meritorious contributions in the Qin and Han wars, and was entrusted with important tasks by Emperor Shenwu, so he built a city in the Central Plains, including the capital of the Central Plains, in order to be a hub fortress, named 'Taihao, after the establishment of Taihao City, Jiang Cang settled here.
Thirty years ago, Lao Jiang Canghe vertical and horizontal, will be located in the east of Taihao City of Dezhao Jiang family and Lingyuan Liu family for their own use, in the old Jiang Cang's full help, the two families quickly dominated Dezhao County and Huaxing County, Taihao City was surrounded by Fanggu County, Dezhao County and Huaxing County, Dezhao County and Huaxing County attached, so that Taihao City in the northeast and west, there is a barrier and reliance.
Since then, the Jiang family has taken deep roots in Quzhou, and has the capital to compete with the old eight clans in Quzhou.
It was also at this time that the Jiang family and the Fanggu Zhao family tore apart, and the Fanggu Zhao family, located in the southeast of Taihao City, became a big problem for the Jiang family.
More than 20 years ago, Jiang Feng's son inherited his father's business, succeeded as the pastor of Quzhou, compared to the old Jiang Cang's steady and steady fighting, Jiang Feng preferred to be vigorous and resolute, with the help of 'Xiao Zhuge Jiang Xingze, he surrendered the Quzhou Jianghu sect, expanded the private army, participated in the Gyeonggi Rebellion 17 years ago, and defeated the alliance composed of the eight old clans in Quzhou in one fell swoop.
After the Gyeonggi Rebellion, everyone knew that if the core control of the Han imperial power continued to weaken, then the next era of melee between the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was coming.
Fortunately, Liu Yan, the Son of Heaven, learned from the pain after the Gyeonggi Rebellion and changed his strategy in time, which did not allow the power of the royal family to continue to decline and saved the Han Dynasty.
In the past ten years, the Son of Heaven has led a cadre of important ministers to pacify the world's clans, Jiang Feng has not done nothing, he continued to consolidate the existing achievements, and formed a huge network of two dogs, two wolves, one eagle and one snake in Quzhou, and compressed the eight old clans of Quzhou to the southern counties of Quzhou, although the actual land in his hands is only Dezhao County, Huaxing County and Taihao City, but his power has penetrated all over Quzhou, and it can be said that he dominates Quzhou alone.
After the above things were done, it was about 340 years in the Han calendar, that is, when the whole story began.
At this time, the situation in Quzhou was settled, and the Jiang family was in full swing in Quzhou, so the ambitious Jiang Feng had the last stumbling block left without dismantling, that is, the Fanggu Zhao family.
There are no big clans in the south of Quzhou, Jiang Feng believes that as long as the Fanggu Zhao family is destroyed, at that time, he will hold three counties and one city, go south to the counties of Quzhou, and then unify Quzhou, it is just a matter of course!
But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, just when Jiang Feng was preparing to attack the Gu Zhao family, Liu Quansheng was like a surprise soldier from the sky, and killed him from Lingyuan City, he killed his relatives in righteousness, and personally killed the Liu family of his own family, so that the Jiang family lost the barrier in the northeast, and in recent years, the Pingtian Army was established, which posed a huge threat to the Jiang family.
For this variable, Lao Jiangcang believes that the real power comes from heaven and earth, and the current situation is not allowed by God, so he has dispelled the idea of 'occupying the mountain as the king'.
However, Jiang Feng is a hero
His heart is not extinguished, he believes that the heavens will not allow him to take it for himself, believes that man will win the sky, and still continues to work with Jiang Xingze and other cutting-edge talents, planning the hegemony of the world in his heart.
After discussion, the Jiang clan's advisers, including Jiang Xingze, still believed that the new army of the Pingtian Army had not yet succeeded, and the threat was not great, and the Fanggu Zhao family was still the biggest obstacle to the Jiang clan's hegemony.
Jiang Feng was convinced of this, he took a suitable opportunity to officially start a war against the Fang Gu Zhao family the year before last, Jiang Feng originally thought that his Jiang family's soldiers and horses would be like ten years ago against the eight major clans of Quzhou, like a bamboo, destroying the Fang Gu Zhao family, who would have thought that this battle would make the Jiang family fall into the quagmire of war.
The war fell into a stalemate, Jiang Feng, who was proficient in the art of war, knew that he could never fight on two fronts, and the northeast lost Huaxing County, so he had to find another barrier to defend Taihao City, and Jiafu Mountain, which borders Huaxing County, was in line with his strategic policy of defending the northeast and attacking the southeast in terms of mountain terrain and distance.
So, two years ago, Jiang Feng drew out 3,000 heavy cavalry and two excellent young generals to be stationed in the Jiafu Mountains in the midst of his overstretched troops, always guarding against the sneak attack of the Pingtian army.
Just a year and a half ago, Jiang Ruisheng persuaded his mother Jiang Lan to transfer 3,000 heavy cavalry from Jiafu Mountain in order to fight with Liu Yi's Fuling Mountain.
At this time, the Jiang family was going all out to fight against the Fanggu Zhao family, and they were no longer able to replenish troops to Jiafu Mountain, but the strategic place of Jiafu Mountain was very important to Jiang Feng.
As a result, this group of 800 veterans, who were already old and weak and could not go to the battlefield and could only do some miscellaneous work, became the 'heavy soldiers' guarding Jiafu Mountain.
The Jiang and Zhao families have been confronting each other for nearly two years, and Jiang Feng's behavior is also helpless.
In Jiang Feng's eyes, as long as he captured Fanggu County and annexed the Yongnu Naval Army and Zhending Military Army, which belonged to the Fanggu Zhao family, he would be considered to have taken most of Quzhou.
To tell the truth, even Jiang Feng himself felt that these eight hundred old and weak were not strong in combat ability, but these old soldiers of the Jiang family were loyal and used here, which was the right time.
......
The delicious food on the mountain smells under the mountain, and there are heavy soldiers under the mountain.
Just when the veterans of the Jiang family were enjoying venison on the mountain, at the foot of Jiafu Mountain, Liu Yi was lying in the dense grass, hungry, and the exquisite aroma of venison made him can't help but drool.
Duan Fanjing, the captain of Xuanjia and Ping Tian Zhonglang, who came with him, guarded Chai Ling on Liu Yiyi's left and right, and his chest was also hungry against his back, and the three of them had been squatting here for five days, and their dry food had been exhausted on the third day, and they were already exhausted, and they were very relieved.
However, as the sound of feasting on the mountain grew, the eyes of Liu Yi and the three of them gradually showed an elite edge.
That night, at the foot of the old man's mountain, Liu Yi received a secret edict from the Son of Heaven, and there were actually only a few numbers in the edict: destroy Jiang Feng and become the great unification of Quzhou.
Since then, Liu Yi has a whole new goal and a new enemy.
And the first step he and his Pingtian army took to deal with Jiang Feng was to occupy the strategic point of Jiafu Mountain, which posed a strategic threat to Taihao City.
The occupation of Jiafu Mountain was only the first step for Liu Yi to start dealing with Jiang Feng, and this move had already appeared in his mind from the moment he received the secret edict of the Son of Heaven.
After obtaining the imperial permission, Liu Yi found Duan Fanjing on the second day.
The Xuanjia army led by Duan Fanjing is good at guarding, and this trip to Jiafu Mountain, Duan Fanjing and his three thousand Xuanjia are naturally the most suitable candidates.
And Duan Fanjing naturally also received an edict from Liu Yan, the Son of Heaven, asking him to fully cooperate with Liu Yi, so when Liu Yi came to look for him, Duan Fanjing surprisingly cooperated, and the officers and captains of the two sides discussed it and made a decision
The plan to attack Jiafu Mountain.
The way to take Jiafu Mountain is probably the path of the Xuanjia army to take the path in the forest, choose trees and deep grass to ambush, wait for the enemy to slack, and rush up to take Jiafu Mountain.
And the essence of slacking off the enemy is the 'Flowing Day' of today's Jiang family's veterans.
The so-called 'Flowing Water Day' is very similar to the monthly holiday of the Hirata Army, on this day, the soldiers of the Jiang family can drink freely and eat meat to relax and unwind.
For the veterans of the Jiang family, this day is a relief, but today is a farewell for the veterans of the Jiang family.
Liu Yi is extremely smart.
In order to hide people's eyes, Liu Yi first led the 500 Xuanjia army to hide under Jiafu Mountain at night, and the remaining 2,500 Xuanjia soldiers entered the mountain in five batches and five nights.
Most of these soldiers of the Xuanjia Army, broken into pieces in the depths of the mountains and scattered in the depths of the dense forests of Jiafu Mountain, most of them were like Liu Yi, they did not eat or drink, and remained silent, until today, according to the established plan, gathered at the place where the Jiang clan's veterans were stationed.
Listening to the shouts on the mountain, Liu Yi looked intently at the campfire on Jiafu Mountain, ate a handful of dry grass, clenched his fists, and his heart stirred.
Maybe he has always been a chess piece before, but now, he has finally become a chess player.
He Liu Yi wants to play a game of chess, a big game of chess that can affect the general trend of Quzhou in the next hundred years.
He wants to establish meritorious deeds, and establish meritorious deeds that are enough to influence the general trend of the world.
And this first move starts from Jiafu Mountain!
The nameless killing machine began to surge in the land of Jiafu Mountain.
