Chapter 15 The Four Seas Return to One

Jingjia has been in the army for a long time, and it is difficult to know the situation. Today, Han Xin's plan is to become safe under the sun.

The swallow jaw is strange, and the wolf head dares to offend. It is a meritorious year.

"Three Songs of Harmony and Lyrics: From the Army" Tang Wangya

A small military meeting was held under the chairmanship of Chen Xun, and everyone knew that this was Du Wu's intention to cultivate Chen Xun, so everyone was also very cooperative.

The participants basically covered all the generals under Du Wu, and in addition, they also specially called You Tanbo and Gu Shan Long together. These two people are most familiar with the situation in Liangzhou, and many key points have to fall on these two people.

Du Wu saw that Chen Xun didn't care about You Tan Bo at all, and he was a little funny in his heart. After all, it's still a teenager's temper, and his eyes are above the top, which is the biggest problem of young people in any era.

Seeing that everyone was noisy and shouting for a long time without a result, Chen Xun was a little annoyed, so he waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and asked Guangbai: "Great monk, why are you so silent today, you usually have the most ideas, not to mention that you still came up with it to lure the enemy out of the city!" ”

Guang Bai sneered and said, "The master has said more than once that knowing each other and knowing oneself will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Now we don't know anything about the enemy, and I, a monk, have only thought of a plan, and I don't know how to carry it out! ”

The noisy tent finally fell silent, and everyone turned their eyes to Du Wu. Since the last battle in the West River Valley, everyone has admired Du Wu to the point of blind worship, and now that they encounter problems, the first thing that comes to mind is to ask General Yu Zhenbei for help.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with eyes asking for help, Du Wu said to Chen Xun: "General Chen, you are going to be the commander of the first army, so you can't ask me all your questions." One day you go to the battlefield and I'm not around, what do you do? ”

Chen Xun saw that Du Wu was testing himself, and he was helpless, so he set his eyes on everyone again. Suddenly, he saw that Youtanbo, who had not said a word after entering the tent, was whispering something to Gu Shanlong, and said a little angrily: "Wu Na weirdo, what are you whispering?" Why don't you say it out loud so that all the brothers can hear it? ”

Gushan Long Urn said angrily: "I didn't say anything, Zuo just looks at you stupid, haha!" ”

Huang Da Halberd was furious when he heard this, and stepped over in two steps and grabbed Gu Shanlong's collar: "Vertical!" Do you dare to say it again? ”

Gu Shanlong snorted and waved his hand to hit Huang Da Halberd's big hand. Seeing that Ma Liu was winding Liuhou's crossbow, You Tanbo hurriedly stood up in front of Gu Shanlong, and said with a smile: "They are all comrades, don't be angry." I have been in Liangzhou for many years, and I am quite familiar with the local customs, although Xihai County is the territory of my Han Dynasty, but the residents here are not close to my Han people. ”

Guangbai smiled slightly: "Then please ask the Youtanbo monk to work hard and tell us about Xihai County in detail." ”

You Tan Bo gave a slight salute and said slowly: "Three years ago, that is, in the first four years of the First Emperor's reign, Da Sima established Xihai County near Xianshui Sea. At that time, it was the Beihe Qiang people who occupied the sea of fresh water, and the leader was called Liangyuan. At that time, the envoy brought a large amount of gold and silver, and the prestige of Chen Xiaowei, the protector of the Western Regions, had been widely spread in the Western Regions, so he did not dare to provoke my Han easily, so he took more than 12,000 people from his tribe to leave the Xianshui Sea and moved to the plateau further east. Xianshuihai was naturally renamed Xihai by Da Sima, and built a big city on the east side of Xihai, which is the Xihai County you see, and its seat of governance is only two or three miles away from us. After the completion of Xihai County, Cheng Taishou built five cities along the Xihai Sea, namely Xiuyuan, Jianqiang, Xingwu, Junqing, and Shunli. ”

Chen Xun nodded: "You're right. At that time, there were already Nanhai County, Donghai County and Beihai County in the territory of my Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty of Xihai County was unified in all directions, so Zai Heng invited the Empress Dowager to send General Zhonglang General Ping to Xuanhua, but I didn't expect Xihai County to be here. ”

You Tanbo nodded: "What General Chen said is extremely true. After the establishment of Xihai County, the Qiang people left the sea of fresh water and the salt pond, but the gold and silver wealth were all into the hands of good wishes, the Qiang people were already poor, and life on the plateau was even more difficult, so in the spring of last year, the Hao chief Pang Tian and Fu Wan took their own people to kill into Longyi City, but they didn't expect Cheng Taishou to abandon the city without resistance, Pang Tian and Fu Wan took Xihai County bloodlessly. As far as I know, Pang Tian should live in Longyi City, and it is unknown which city Fu Wan is in. ”

Only then did everyone understand the cause and effect of the incident, but a new question arose: first, which city was Fu Man in? Second, how could the more than 1,000 people under the command of General Zhenbei capture the city and kill Fu Wan?

Once again, there was silence. Seeing this, Du Wu asked, "Youtanbo, can you tell us about the situation of these five cities?" ”

You Tanbo shook his head and said: "I only know a little bit about it, these five cities are built near the sea, and the closest to us is the main city Longyi City, Longyi City is a hundred miles to the north, it is Xiuyuan County, and its city is close to Yanchi, which is extremely prosperous. Locals only need to lift a thin layer of salt cover to get table salt from Baihuahua. This salt is so natural that the caravans of the Western Regions will often detour from Wuwei to Jincheng, go upriver along the river valley, and go to Xiuyuan to buy salt, and there will even be smugglers, sneaking into the salt pond and stealing salt. Therefore, Xiuyuan is also the richest among the five cities.

More than 200 miles to the west of self-cultivation, is Jianqiang County, Jianqiang County to the south I don't know how far, I heard that there is a city is Shunli County. More than 100 miles to the south of Shunli County is Junyu County, which is the farthest away from the West Sea and has been close to the boundary of Yizhou. More than two hundred miles to the south of Longyi City, is Xingwu County, this county is close to the Hehuang Valley, and it is also a rich county. That's all you know. ”

After You Tanbo finished speaking, Guangbai's busy hand also stopped. He spread out a piece of cloth on which the locations of the five cities were already drawn. Everyone gathered around, looked carefully for a long time, Guangbai cleared his throat and said: "If the poor monk is Fu Wan, he will definitely choose to repair far or Xingwu, these two cities are the closest to Longyi City, and they will become horns, in case there is a change, you can wait for reinforcements." And these two cities are the richest, whether it is to raise soldiers or to enjoy, they are better than the other three cities. ”

Ma Liu touched his beardless chin and said, "The great monk is reasonable, I think so, but these two cities, which one is more likely?" ”

Gushan Long Urn interjected angrily: "Why do you want to do so much, won't everything be clear if you catch a scout?" ”

Huang Da Halberd rolled his eyes: "To put it lightly, if the scout is easy to catch, then the Dou situation has already been caught, and you still need to put it here~"

Halfway through his words, Chen Xun glared at him, and Huang Da Halberd was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue and shrunk his neck to make no sound.

Wang Buliuxing stood up and said to Du Wu: "General, the last general is willing to arrest the scouts and explore the way for the army." ”

Ma Xin and Huang Da Halberd also stood up: "The last general is also willing to go!" ”

Du Wu didn't take a stubble, but walked to the table, looked at the map, and was stunned.

The Sea of Fresh Water, the West Sea, and the Salt Pond, where are they? He tried his best to recall the memories of later generations in his mind, and vaguely felt that it seemed to be very similar to a certain place name. Fierce he suddenly reacted, salt pond people, salt lake also. The most famous salt lake in later generations is Chaka Salt Lake, although I have never been there, but I have seen photos on the Internet. Then this huge lake called the West Sea should be the Qinghai Lake of the later generations, right? Thinking of this, he began to carefully recall the various topographic maps he had seen at that time.

Seeing that Du Wu was in a daze, Guangbai made a silent gesture, and everyone sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting for Du Wu to finish thinking.

Qinghai Lake, Chaka Salt Lake, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Hehuang Valley, these terms suddenly came to Du Wu's mind. He thought about it carefully for a while, and then thought about the topographic maps he had learned in geography class, but to his despair found that those things didn't seem to help at all, at most they just made them feel familiar.

Thinking of this, he came back to his senses, looked at the generals, and began to think about how this battle should be fought.

After thinking about it for a while, he had an idea in his mind. The soldiers are fast, and the Qiang people have no formation to fight, and they often rush up, in this case, you only need to find out where Fu Wan is, and open the city gate, you can kill it.

"General Ben has already figured out a way to retreat from the enemy."

Everyone looked at each other, and gradually began to look happy again.

"Among the five cities, first of all, exclude Jian Qiang and Shun Li, these two cities are not directly in front of my Han army, since Fu Wan followed Pang Tian to rebel, he will definitely not nest behind to enjoy Qingfu, and this is also what Pang Tian cannot tolerate. In addition, these two cities face the lake and the back of the mountain, and the environment is relatively harsh, for the sake of pleasure, Fu Man will not choose these two cities. As for the military captives, this city is too close to Yizhou and too far away from Longyi, once it is attacked, it is difficult to wait for Pang Tian's reinforcements, so for the sake of his own life, Fu Man will not choose the military captive county. As for Xingwu, it is even simpler, this city is located in the Hehuang Valley, although the land is fertile to raise soldiers, but the valley is full of tidal flats, and the march and war will often fall into the mud, and the Hehuang Valley, there are many tidal flats, the foundation is not strong, the city will definitely not be particularly strong, and even digging the ground can break it, even if Fu Wan can't see it, Pang Tian is not a fool, and he will not let him fall to death. Therefore, General Ben decided that Fu Wan must be in Xiuyuan City. Now that the two armies are facing each other, the walls must be extremely well guarded, and it is impossible to storm them, and we only have a thousand infantry. Do you have any thoughts, tell me about them? ”

When everyone was listening to the convincing, the question suddenly came out, and suddenly a little sad, Guangbai said: "Why not lure him with tired soldiers?" The Qiang people are simple-minded, and they will definitely be able to win the plan, and when the time comes, the cavalry will be able to win. ”

Chen Xun thought for a while and shook his head: "What if the Qiang people don't go out of the city?" Or maybe there are too many Qiang people out of the city, and my 500 cavalry can't resist it? ”

Chen Xun was telling the truth, and everyone's newly ignited hope was once again disappointed.

At this moment, You Tanbo said: "There is a plan, I don't know if I should talk about it?" ”

Du Wu smiled: "Qing can try to say it." ”

"If we open the gates of the city by a trick, what if the inside and the outside should be together?"

Guangbai was so clever that he immediately understood the key point, recited a Buddha name with one hand, and said to Du Wu: "Congratulations to the master, you have another strategist." ”

Du Wu secretly praised in his heart: "Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing!" ”
