A Clash of Gods Chapter 1180: Hanzhong
Hanzhong North leans on the Qinling Mountains to the south and the Pingba Mountains are light and beautiful.
When the Li family controlled Bashu, Hanzhong belonged to the Bashu sphere of influence. At that time, Jinyi Laohou took the lead in cutting the Shu, and the Northern Han also felt that there was a good opportunity to go south to capture Hanzhong. Fortunately, the Shu who was stationed in Hanzhong was blocked. In view of the various main roads of Qinling Mountain, although the military strength is weak, the several main roads in the Qinling Mountain Range are all a dangerous place that was not opened by Wan Wanfu. When Li Hongxin submitted the surrender table to Dachu, the Northern Han Army Still not able to step into Hanzhong.
After Li Hongxin declared his honor to Chu, the Hanzhong defender did not continue to resist. He handed over Nanzheng to Jinyi Laohouye, but he was greatly praised by the court.
It’s just that, after all, it came from Li Hongxin’s men, so the guard will be transferred to the capital and given enough honor and wealth, but it has not been reused since then. The guard has passed away many years ago, and the juniors still enjoy Salaries of the court.
Since then, there have been three generals transferred from Hanzhong, all of whom were sent by the imperial court. Today, the deputy general Han Yun who is stationed in Hanzhong was also one of the generals who followed the old clothes of Jinyi.
After Ban Yun felled, he followed the old Hou Ye and went north to fight with the Northern Han Dynasty. Later, Jin Yi Lao Hou Ye personally recommended Ban Yun to the court, and Ban Yun was transferred to Hanzhong as a prince to preside over the defense of Han Zhong.
Although Chu Han has been in small wars for many years, the front line of Qinling has always been calm. The Han general Qu Yuangu stationed in the northwest has never taken the initiative to attack Chu Jing, and Ban Yun has been in Hanzhong for many years. It does not mean to cross Qinling.
Hanzhong is a strategic place. Ban Yun was a military general, but after spending many years in Hanzhong, the rashness of his body has disappeared a lot. He was seen by people on weekdays, and he only thought it was a Confucian student.
Being located in a military place, Hanzhong has become a fertile ground for food and clothing for many years, and the people in Hanzhong are very grateful for this servant.
At the moment, Ban Yun is in an armored armor, leading a team of people and waiting in the south of Zhengcheng twenty miles.
Yesterday, I received a news report that Hu Guogong was about to visit Nanzheng.
Ban Yun has fought in the battlefield for many years, and has been an official in Hanzhong for many years. He has long been an extremely experienced cadre. Of course, he already knew that the Chu army went north, crossed the Huaihe River, and was fighting against the Northern Han Dynasty. Gong came to Hanzhong, of course, it was not easy.
As the sun sets, the climate in Hanzhong is already quite cold. When I heard the sound of a horseshoe, Ban Yun’s spirit was revived. He looked at the official road and saw a team of cavalry swiftly approaching here. Ban Yun Immediately headed forward, the number of cavalry in that team was not large, but there were more than a hundred or so people, but they were quite imposing. They drove to the close. When they first strangled the war horse, they scanned Ban Yun and others, and Ban Yun saw that the man was not there. At the age of twenty, a Jin Yi was in his body, and he immediately understood that he came forward to arch his hand and said: "Xiaguan Hanzhong is too guarding Banyun, and see Lord Lord!" Knelt down on one knee, and everyone behind him also fell down with his knees.
The young man was naturally Qi Ning, turned over and dismounted, stepped forward to support Ban Yun, and smiled: "Ban Taishou does not have to wait here."
Ban Yun got up, but the eyebrows showed an intimate look, and smiled and said: "Lord Lord comes here, and the cadres are welcome from afar."
Qing Ning smiled slightly and swept the followers behind Ban Yun again, chuckling lightly: "The soldiers under Ben Taishou are full of spirit, and at a glance, they know that they are brave and capable teachers."
Ban Yundao said: "Being on the front line, Xiaguan did not dare to neglect. Everyone in Hanzhong is training three times a day and never stops." He glanced back before continuing: "Hanzhong has Three thousand soldiers, but when the next official came to Hanzhong to take office, he made a suggestion to the court, which was supported by the old Hou Ye and also approved by the court. Because of this, every soldier in Hanzhong It’s all a fierce foot."
"Suggestion?" Qi Ning is interested: "What suggestion?"
"Hanzhong soldiers’ equipment and food have not been weak. Although they are not as good as the defenders of the capital, they are second to none among the imperial border guards." Ban Yunnian was in his fifties. Although he was wearing armor, he did not Ordinary military generals have the bravery to speak slowly: "Xiaguan gave them the best food and the best equipment, but also gave them the most rigorous training, three trainings a day, four seasons unchanged, and everyone’s The training situation will be reported, and a review will be conducted every month. If the training is not good, it will be dismantled and returned to the field, recruiting new soldiers to fill in."
Qing Ning said, "Oh," Ban Yun continued: "Every month, 30 or 40 people are ordered to withdraw from the ranks, but almost all the soldiers in Hanzhong are Hanzhong natives. After leaving, they can only stay. Cultivating fields in Hanzhong. It is not difficult to recruit soldiers in Hanzhong because of good treatment for soldiers."
"Thirty or forty people a month, haven't three or four hundred people been ordered to be discharged from the army this year?"
Ban Yunxi first said: "That's exactly the case. Xiaguan has been ordered to withdraw from the ranks in Hanzhong in recent years."
Qining said with a smile: "You do this, don't you worry about these soldiers resenting you?"
"Prohibition of orders, clear rewards and penalties, there will be no such worries." Ban Yun smiled and said: "Whoever goes and who stays is entirely up to his own ability, so no one is dissatisfied." Therefore, the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong are the best soldiers who survive the survival of the fittest. Not only that, the soldiers who withdrew from the ranks can be called back at any time once the situation in Hanzhong is critical. These people have been trained in military services, and they know how to fight better than ordinary civilians. ."
Qining sighed: "In this way, these retired soldiers are the reserve army of Hanzhong."
"What Lord Jue said is right." Ban Yun said: "Although Hanzhong can't do all the soldiers, it is not a bad thing to store a batch of reserve soldiers." Raised his hand: "Lord Lord, please!"
The crowd re-entered the horse and returned to Nanzheng.
Nanzheng is the heart of Hanzhong County. After Qi Ning entered the city, he saw people coming and going. Although it was not the same as Chengdu’s prosperity, it was orderly, and the people looked very calm. It seems that I have become accustomed to a quiet life. Being able to have such a situation on the front line also shows that Ban Yun's governance of Hanzhong is not bad.
In the Taishou Mansion, Ban Yun made tea, and then he drove everyone away, saying: "Wei Shi Shi Fei Shu spread the word, saying that the Lord's trip to Hanzhong was to kill the bandits, I don't know... ?"
"Since you are here, there is no need to hide you anymore." Qi Ning said: "The class is too guarded, can there be bandits in Hanzhong?"
"Back to Jueye, when Xiaguan took over as Hanzhong, there were indeed gangsters here." Ban Yunzheng said: "That's all Hanzhong locals, who robbed their homes because they are familiar with the terrain of Hanzhong. Hidden in the east and hiding in Tibet, they often hid inside the Daba Mountain. The Daba Mountain stretched for hundreds of miles. Once in hiding, it was really difficult to find. It took more than two years for the Xiaguan to completely destroy the gangster. Now In Hanzhong, although it is impossible to say that Taiping is fine, gangsters are already very rare."
"You can privately tell the generals under your hand that a group of robbers escaped from Chengdu to Daba Mountain, and harmed the people. In order to completely eliminate this bandit, Shi Shifu dispatched troops to come to suppress it." Qi Ning pressed down. The voice said: "Let those ministry generals disseminate these news inadvertently, at least let everyone know that the officers and men are transferred to Hanzhong to encircle and suppress the bandits."
Ban Yunxi first said: "Xiaguan will immediately arrange it. It's just that the Lord is in Hanzhong, but can there be other things to order Xiaguan to do?"
"Encircling and suppressing Daba Mountain is to hide people's eyes and ears and show them to the Northern Han people." Qi Ning said: "Can you know the situation over the Northern Han Dynasty?"
Ban Yun immediately said: "Xiaguan has sent spies to do activities in the northwest region. After hearing Beitang's death, several princes competed for the throne. Beitang Feng fled to Xianyang and turned to Qu Yuangu for two or three months. Before, Qu Yuangu had already sent troops from Xianyang, commanding the elite of the northwest, stationed in Tongguan, but stayed at Tongguan, and looked like that. It was when several other Northern Han princes fight for your life and death. Yuan Gu will seize the opportunity to seize Luoyang."
"How is Xianyang defending the army now?"
"Qu Yuangu has two sons, but they are all wine-dressers, and they are not as good as Qu Yuangu." Ban Yundao said: "But after Qu Yuangu guarded the northwest, lest anyone spy on his powers, so he only favors others. Both of his sons have heavy powers. This time they sent troops, and their second son joined the army. The eldest son, Qu Manbao, stayed in Xianyang."
"Qu Manbao?" Qi Ning said with a smile: "It seems that this General Qu is very fond of treasures." Asked: "How is Qu Manbao?"
"This man is arrogant and behaves surly." Ban Yun said: "His father was the master of the Northwest, and his aunt was the favorite concubine of Beitang Huan. The Qu family was once very glorious in the Northern Han Dynasty. No scruples~ IndoMTL.com~ is lawless in the northwest, but this person is also very brave. It is said that he once killed a leopard with his bare hands after drinking. It should be some means." After a pause, he continued: "This The biggest weakness of people is the greedy cup lust. It is said that they drink ten pounds of wine every day, and all women are happy."
"No girl is not happy?" Qi Ning thought about it.
Although Qi Ning hasn't said the plan yet, Ban Yun has guessed a few points, but since Qi Ning doesn't speak, he doesn't speak easily.
He has been in Hanzhong for many years, and even Xi Chuan Shi Weishu did not dare to point fingers at him, but now the small Guogong of the Jinyi Qi family has arrived in person, he still maintains sufficient respect, and his heart is very clear. So no matter what decision is made by Qi Ning, he can only cooperate fully.
"I heard that the defenders in Hanzhong are mainly defending among the four mountain paths in the Qinling Mountains." After a while, Qi Ning only said: "How many soldiers are there in Nanzheng?"
"Actually, all four Qinling roads are narrow roads, as long as setting up a whistle at a dangerous place is enough to resist the enemy." Ban Yundao said: "Xiaguan has set three levels in each narrow road. Every time a hundred people are arranged at the level, there are a total of more than 1,000 troops distributed in the four narrow roads. When the first level finds the enemy, it will immediately ignite the beacon, and the distance between the next two levels will not be too far. It is enough to notice Fengyan in front. Together, Fengyan will soon reach Nanzheng. A few lines of defense will be enough for us to support time."
Qining frowned: “We set the level on the four roads, so of course the Northern Hans will also set the level on the narrow road.”
Ban Yunxi first said: "It is precisely that if you want to cross any of the four narrow lanes of Qinling, whether it is going south to Hanzhong or north to Xianyang, you must pass through the card post, otherwise you can only overturn Qinling, but against the soldiers and horses As far as possible, it is impossible to cross the Qinling Mountains."
