Volume 3 Chapter 37 The Reclamation (2)
Yixian is Youzhou, and the road is not very bad, but it is deep. Wang Xingshang said that when the soldiers crossed the border last year, they repaired the roads, but in winter, they froze in spring, and after the ice and snow melted and soaked, they were run over by the baggage trucks coming and going.
The scenery of the northern country is different, the mountains are rugged, the wind is cold and hard, mixed with gravel. After the county, the mountains and fields are yellow. The grass and trees withered, as if to say, winter is coming. Everyone was wrapped in a thick ??, and they couldn't help but feel a little chilly. The days are getting shorter and shorter, and people are getting lazy. Hiding in the car all day long, only when the sun hangs high, will be active for a short time.
The city of the Yan Dynasty has its own atmosphere in the simplicity and simplicity. The people here are obviously not used to the newly built toilets, and from time to time Tian Man will see people looking for a corner...... Then they were chased and ran.
Jixian County is worthy of being the seat of Youzhou, with smooth bluestone pavements and tall houses, which are particularly eye-catching. However, what Tian Man paid more attention to was the mottled city walls, the newly built city gate tower, and the large camp outside the city. It can be seen that the fighting in Liji County a few months ago was very fierce. Wang Xingshang inevitably had to greatly exaggerate the war. The Qingzhou Army incarnated as a heavenly soldier and swept through the entire Youzhou, and the small Jixian County was certainly not spared.
However, this was Chen? I heard a flaw. Specific battles, Chen? It is also not clear, but Jixian County was besieged for half a year before it finally fell. In any case, it cannot be described as "one drum". Wang Xingshang said smoothly. Suddenly hearing this question, he couldn't help laughing a few times, said a few words randomly, and then urged everyone to hurry up, they were already late, if the Hu people completed the transaction, the things would be worthless.
Tian Man couldn't help but smile and echoed Wang Xingshang's words. Covering things up in the past. Wang Xingshang is a good person, even if he is good at bragging, but there is no need to argue over trivial matters. Speaking of which, Wang Xingshang is not an old businessman, but he has been here twice in the past few years to make some small money. Anyway. He was always more familiar with the Northland than Tian Man, and he knew better how to trade with the Hu people.
In fact, there is no simple war in war. Zhang personally led 30,000 troops, and Zhang Lu, Gao Shun and others led the troops to help, leading a total of 70,000 elite soldiers. In addition, Zhang Chao organized baggage to provide supplies and protect northern Hebei, with a total strength of nearly 100,000 people. Zhang fought with the Youzhou soldiers several times, and he was confident, but he was moved. It's a rare opportunity. Since he has sufficient combat power, he doesn't have to worry about time and money. Zhang Youxin wants to uproot Liu Yu's potential power.
After quickly occupying the county, Zhang Lu conquered Guangyang. The soldiers pointed directly at Jixian County. Subsequently, Zhang's actions dragged on, and he negotiated with Liu Yu for several days, and after Liu Yu categorically refused to hand over Gongsun Zhan, he commanded the army to surround Jixian County.
To be honest, Liu Yu didn't want to shield Gongsun Zhan. But Gongsun Zan and Liu Yusu didn't look at each other right, so they didn't stay in Jixian County at all, and went straight past the city. Went to the right Beiping County. Even if Liu Yu wants to hand over someone, he has to be able to hand over someone. The disagreement between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu. It lies in the policy towards the Hu people. Liu Yu treats Wuhuan well and rewards him richly. Gongsun Zhan disagreed, and when Liu Yu was rewarded, he sent someone to seize it.
The Hu people respect the strong and strong, and doing so is just a legacy of raising tigers. In the long run, Gongsun Chan's opinion is not wrong. However, this time and that time. The decline of the Great Han Kingdom has reached this point, and Gongsun Zhandi's actions are out of place. These are all gossip.
Zhang Han won Jizhou and is coveting Youzhou, even if Liu Yu can produce flowers, he will never listen to his explanation. Therefore, Zhang's negotiations were nothing more than a posturing. Jixian County is an important town in the north, the city is strong and deep, the population is large, Liu Yu is very prestigious in Youzhou, under the strong attack, it will definitely suffer heavy losses. Zhang besieged the city, and after several tentative attacks to no avail, he stopped attacking and kept attacking to maintain appropriate pressure, while building a strong fortress in preparation for a long siege. Subsequently, Zhang Huan dispatched several troops to attack Daijun and Shanggu County.
At the time, everyone laughed and didn't know how to fight. Take Ji County, Dai County, Shanggu County can be passed on, why do you need to do so. As everyone knows, Zhang Zheng wants to startle the snake and lead the snake out of the hole, so that he can besiege the city and send reinforcements. The focus of the attack is not on Jicheng, but on reinforcements.
Surprisingly, the first reinforcements to arrive were the Wuhuan people. The autumn is high and the horses are fat, and it is the time for the Wuhuan people to plunder. At this time of year, the Xianbei people would cross the plains between Quang Ninh and Ninh counties and plunder deep into Shanggu County. After the weakening of the Han Kingdom, the Wuhuan people living in Shanggu also appeared from time to time. However, this year, the Wuhuan people are playing the banner of supporting Liu Yu. Naturally, this 'reinforcement' was met by Gao Shun.
All right! That's an exaggeration. Although the Wuhuan people swore that they would support Liu Yu, they came to take advantage of it after all and would not fight hard with Gao Shun. The Wuhuan cavalry with horses and bows can run for more than 200 miles in a day, coming and going like the wind, and Gao Shun's infantry can't catch up with them. Gao Shun only has 2,000 cavalry in his hands, and he has to fight with tens of thousands of Wuhuan cavalry, no matter how confident he is, he feels that it is a loss-making business. Therefore, it is really not a head-on attack.
After fighting with Wuhuan and Shanggu coalition forces in Shanggu for more than a month, Gao Shun found an opportunity. The military discipline of the Wuhuan people has always been very poor, and everyone has a lot of property in their hands, and they are reluctant to abandon it. In addition, engaged in Qi Zhou Xu with heavy pay, Wuhuan people fought desperately. After enduring it for a long time, Gao Shun showed his minions - the crossbow that could shoot quickly became a nightmare for the Wuhuan people. The mournful whistling of the big rhubarb and the car makes people cold to the bottom of their hearts. The Wuhuan people repeatedly attacked Gao Shun's military formation seven times, and the military formation was as immobile as a mountain, and none of the Wuhuan people were able to rush to the front, and their morale was greatly depressed. Gao Shun's whole army moved forward, the coalition army could not stand on its ground, and was defeated again, Gao Shun sent out the cavalry, defeated the coalition army in one fell swoop, and then chased and killed hundreds of miles all the way......
In this battle, Gao Shun only killed the Wuhuan people, and he cut 4387,,
The battlefield with Gao Shun is a tribe led by the king of Wuhuan Nanlou in Shanggu. The Wuhuan people of the three counties of Liaoxi, Liaodong and Youbei Pingdi were also lured to come later, and Zhang Lu attacked half-crossing, broke his army, and beheaded nearly 10,000 people.
It is worth mentioning that Gongsun Chan reorganized the army, but he was too late, and when he led the troops in the second year, the victory or defeat had already been decided, and he was sent to death in vain.
Zhang Huan swept away all the forces in Youzhou, and only then did he concentrate on attacking the weak links such as the city gate with 300 catapults. In fact, Jixian County has been besieged for half a year, and there is not much food in the city for a long time. Liu Yu sent troops several times, but was broken by Zhang Huan, and his sharpness was lost early. As soon as Jicheng was broken, Liu Yu surrendered very simply.
Tian Man and the others hurried through Jixian County, and their marching speed slowed down suddenly. The wide road is divided into two halves, half of which is being transformed into a solid triple earth pavement, with only half of the pavement being used for pedestrians. And the carriages that carry the materials for road construction are constantly shuttling back and forth, and all pedestrians must have horses
"Alas, there is no way, there are several lime kilns built along the way, but the sand needs to be sent from the Pinghe River, the slag needs to be transported from Yuyang, and these people still have to eat......"
The shopkeeper Sun of the Daobianye store smiled and said insincerely.
Pretending not to look like it at all, Wang Xingshang glared at the shopkeeper angrily:
"Another dime of wine, the shopkeeper has made a lot of money, please have a drink......"
"A small business, a small business, can't compare to your big business...... Don't worry, now I'm repairing the road from Fuyang to Jixian, and it's good to wait until I get past Fuyang......"
Shopkeeper Sun didn't say yes, nor did he say no, and opened the conversation with a smile.
After eating and drinking for a while, the long convoy passed, and Wang Xingshang immediately raised his wine glass and drank it all, and rolled the dried meat on the plate with dough:
"Let's go! Let's go! While the sky is still bright, take two more steps, go to Zhangjiazhuang to rest at night, and you must pass the frustration in two days......"
As soon as the words fell, Wang Xingshang burped. Tian Man didn't squeak, swallowed the cake in three or two bites, and took the money to settle the account, and then came out of the straw shed. It was gray, and he became more and more depressed. It's just past noon, and I've already rested for two breaths. It's not that anyone wants to be lazy, but no one can afford to fight for this army's car.
"Can you spend two days in frustration?"
"Hey, who knows! Miss your daughter-in-law? ”
Wang Xingshang saw that Tian Man was in a hurry, and couldn't help but joke.
"Yes! Brother Wang doesn't want a daughter-in-law? ”
"Hmm." Wang Xingshang twisted his beard with his hands, pretended to ponder for a moment, and then said slowly: "What is there to think about, only at the age of Brother Tian can I think of a daughter-in-law, you see I have a lot of beard, I am an old husband and wife, what else can I think of......
Wang Xingshang knew what Tian Man was anxious about. After laughing a few words, he persuaded him:
"Brother, don't be anxious, whether this can get to Fuyang, when you can get to Ning County, it depends on God's will, it's useless to be anxious......
Again. This year can't be planted, it's just a late planting season, and the next year will be less harvested
How? What's wrong? ”
Seeing Tian Man's grinning, Wang Xingshang knew that something was wrong.
"Brother Wang, you are a big dealer, but the style in the crop field, it depends on my ......" Tian Man had a bitter face: "If I don't harvest this year, will I buy this ploughing cow or not sell it?"
If you buy it. What does this cow eat?
Don't buy the words, next spring. This cow must be quite expensive. Moreover, this place is not turned over in winter. The harvest will not be good next year......"
"That's just as well!"
Wang Xingshang scratched his cheeks, he really couldn't come up with a good idea about the things in this crop field.
"Okay, what kind of road is this building!"
Tian Man couldn't help but pat his thigh.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Gao Shun stood on the watchtower of the camp and raised his binoculars to look into the distance. From Qingzhou, a densely populated place, to Jizhou has felt desolate, often hundreds of miles of uninhabited, but only when you arrive in Youzhou. What is desolation. Don't say a hundred miles, it is thousands of miles without people. Gao Shun has also seen it. Let's just say that the county town of Ning, since a big defeat in the sixth year of Xiping, it has been looted, and it has not been able to recover so far. In addition to the lively days of the border market in autumn every year, on weekdays, even the countryside is not as good.
"The 80 new lime kilns in Fuyang have been completed and officially put into production, and now in Fuyang alone, 1.2 million catties of lime can be fired every day, which is enough to supply the needs of road construction. However, it takes a lot of wood to burn the lime, and a lot of people need to be used to cut the wood, which also affects the construction schedule......"
Road construction is the most important task at present, and as soon as he entered the big tent of the Chinese army, Gao Shun asked about it. As a result, joining the army said so much. This is not good for the newly graduated to join the army, ask him a question, and he will be able to talk endlessly. To those who joined the army? Verbosity, Gao Shun is slightly impatient:
"Don't talk about these things, I'll just ask you one thing, can you complete the construction of Chidao before the middle of winter comes?"
The young soldier's face turned red, and he immediately reacted:
"Report to the general, as long as you add another four thousand people to cut wood, it can be completed!"
"Good! Then go find four thousand men......"
Joining the army was stunned, these four thousand people, not four people, let him go where to find it, and secretly glanced at Gao Shun. Gao Shun was looking at the map, leaving him with only a back. He didn't dare to let Gao Shun wait for a long time, and replied helplessly:
"Yes, General!"
Gao Shun stopped talking, and the commander of the army would deal with the specific arrangements. Fingers tapped on the Wild Fox Ridge, and Gao Shun gently drew a line here, this is the Great Wall. As the dividing line between the dam and the dam, Yehuling is dangerous, and it is the key point of Youzhou. Build a Great Wall from here, connect with Yanshan Mountain to the south, and connect with the Yan Great Wall to the west, you can block most of Ningxian County with a gap. Of course, it was too expensive to build the Great Wall, and Gao Shun was ordered to build a series of fortresses here that could support each other, and make up for the gaps in the ground through moats, potholes, etc.
This is not an easy task. Gao Shun understands how important this matter is, and Xianbei people also understand. The Great Wall, which is more than 70 miles long, cannot be hidden. Kebineng is also a promising person, and he will not sit idly by.
After the death of Tanshi Huai, the Xianbei people were divided again, and the three Xianbei did their own thing. Kebi can be brave and healthy, fair in judgment, not greedy for money, and was elected by the tribe as the eastern Xianbei lord. Eastern Xianbei is the closest to here, and those who come to Ningxian County every year, except for Wuhuan, are mostly from Eastern Xianbei.
In other words, if Gao Shun wanted to build a strong fortress here, he must go to war with Xianbei in the east.
Gao Shun's plan was simple, that is, to prepare everything, and when the weather warmed up in spring, he would immediately start building the Great Wall. The nomads were all on horseback, and they survived the cold and long winters, and the early spring was when they were at their weakest. At that time, even if Kebi can come to fight, Gao Shun will have a few more chances of winning.
The key to the successful implementation of the plan lies in whether the roads are smooth and whether the materials in the prepared area are sufficient. Naturally, Gao Shun can't afford not to pay attention to it.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Early in the morning of the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, Wang Xingshang and Tian Man and his party set out on the road. Tian Man's luck is good, God is very face-saving. It was smooth for two mornings in a row, and there were no chariots. On the third night, Tian Man finally arrived in Fuyang, and he could sleep peacefully.
In the dream, Tian Man dreamed of a bearded beard, a half-bald head, and a pigtail hanging from the back of his neck......
