Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Six hundred and fifteen gaps
Chu and Han are struggling with each other, and the chasm painting circles swallow each other. Fast update without ads.
: "The King Xiang made an appointment with the Han to divide the world. The one who cuts the gap to the west is Han, and the one who cuts the gap to the east is Chu."
The chasm, the land of Xingyang, was the temporary dividing line between the two armies when the Chu and Han fought, and this gave rise to the word “insurmountable chasm”.
The chasm is located in the east of Xingyang, connecting Huaihe and Surabaya. It is bordered by Mang Mountain in the north, adjacent to the Yellow River, Suohe and Song Mountain in the south, and Luoyang and Chang'an in the west.
"Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, whom Li Jingye admired, fought the Qin army here, but the Qin army finally defeated the Qin army, and Wu Guang defeated Xingyang." Li Hongli stood on the bow, the weeds growing on both sides of the ship had withered. A large tract of yellow land was exposed, and the breeze blew through, making a rustling sound, with a trace of the bleakness of late autumn and early winter.
Bai Chun flicked the hair disturbed by the wind in front of his forehead, and on his beautiful cheeks, a pair of bright eyes looked at the scenery along the river bank, and murmured as he remembered the past: "The first emperor used to talk about The'Battle of Hulao' did not happen here too. With more than 3,000 people defeating Dou Jiande's 100,000 army, he took Hulaoguan, Niukouyu and other dangerous places and forced Wang Shichong, who was entrenched in Luoyang, to surrender."
"Yes, the first emperor's life in the army, the battle of Hulao can be said to be a triumphant battle in his life, and since then, the first emperor has been canonized as the'Admiral of Heaven'. In this way, it is also for the future. The change of Xuanwu Sect has laid the groundwork." Li Hong said with emotion.
The Wuya warship slowly approached the bank, and the river in front was blocked and it was no longer able to move forward. The grain ships transported from the south to Luoyang and Chang'an on the river also had to land here, and then switched to land or directly transported grain to Chang'an, or temporarily stored in Hulao warehouse and Heyin warehouse in Xingyang.
The team of two hundred people does not appear to be very prominent on the river where merchant ships go. Therefore, Li Hong and his party abandon the ship and go overland, and naturally they will not attract the attention of others.
Mangzhong, Cheetah, and Wei Tuqi were standing on the river bank, watching the raging wharf, carts of food being carried down from the boat, and some complained: "It’s time to fix it early or late. Only then did I know that cleaning up the blockage is really inaction."
Mang species kicked Wei Tuqi, watched vigilantly at His Royal Highness and Bai Chun who were not far away, and whispered: "Are you saying that His Royal Highness is not acting? His Royal Highness is Shang Shuling, Ministry of Industry. Naturally within the jurisdiction, if your highness hears these words, be careful to be punished."
Wei Tuqi hurriedly turned his head and glanced at the poised Prince and Miss Bai Chun, with an embarrassing smile on his faces, scratching his head and said: "I didn't mean that, I mean it was too strange? I just went. I asked, this blockage began to be cleaned up three days ago, and it was chosen at the juncture of His Highness's return to Chang'an. Isn't it because the Ministry of Engineering does not have long eyes and it is difficult for His Highness to be deliberate?"
"Who would have thought about this. The siltation of the river is cleaned up one after another. It just so happens that it is impossible to say here. Besides, the Ministry of Engineering is afraid that His Highness will return to Kyoto. If you know, Naturally it won't be like this anymore." Cheetah glanced at the stunned Mangzhong at the grain transport fleet and whispered.
Listening to the cheetah's words, Wei Tuqi nodded in agreement, and then the three of them stood at the dock. After a while, a thin horse was led over.
The soldier saluted and said: "I have searched all over the pier, but there is only such a horse."
"Fortunately, the journey is not too far away, so it should be fine." Mang Chung returned to his senses, looked at the skinny and bony horse, and said with satisfaction.
Now they have rushed ashore and changed to land, so they don’t even have horses to walk. They can only go to Xingyang County, find the county magistrate or Zhechong Mansion to borrow two hundred war horses, and a carriage.
Cheetah and Yutuqi are naturally speechless. The wharf is not a big deal. Compared with the wharfs in Yangzhou and Hangzhou, it is like a warehouse.
Although there are several carriages for transporting grain, the horses seem to be weaker than the one in front of them, so they are ox carts. I am afraid that they will drive on the road. They are not as fast as the two legs of the mang species. .
What's more, His Royal Highness has an order to try not to disturb Xingyang too many dignitaries. It is best to get a horse and a carriage unknowingly, so having such a thin horse is already very good.
"Will the Zheng family of Xingyang meet with the county magistrate of Xingyang? In case you know that you are here in Xingyang, I am afraid that you will come again with great fanfare?" Bai Chun and Li Hong stood in a corner of the dock, looking Said against the clear river.
"The Zheng of Xingyang? I'm afraid it's too late to hide from me? I suddenly fell from the sky to Xingyang. It is estimated that the Zheng of Xingyang will have to ponder for a long time, but who knows, just leave it to them." Li Hong backed his hands. When you want to take this time to wait, take a look at Hulao Pass?
Hulao Pass, also known as Pangshui Pass, is naturally not too far away from where Li Hong and the others landed. Therefore, Li Hong looked at the undisturbed mountain range at the end of Song Mountain in the distance to the south, and he was inspired to go to Hulao. Guan, pay tribute to the place where the first emperor was most proud of the battle.
After the unification of the Tang Dynasty, although the Zhechong Mansion was still located here, the number of troops stationed here is not as large as when the country was first established.
Furthermore, the Hulao Pass is not one of the eight passes that guard Luoyang, so in terms of the distribution of forces, the dangerous Hulao Pass has also been submerged in the various passes and has become unremarkable.
But even so, it does not mean that the guards at Hulao Pass are loose.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the pier, the tired figure, the busy ox-and-carriage, and the lonely food boat, forming a golden age-like picture of the flourishing age.
Two hundred iron horses and a carriage, raised a piece of golden smoke, and slowly stopped under the gaze of the people on the dock.
Li Hong took Bai Chun to run far away, avoiding the flying dust that was scattered. After a long time passed, Li Hong led Bai Chun to the carriage.
It is getting late, and it is too late to rush back to Xingyang, so instead of rushing to Xingyang, it is better to go south to the mountain and go to Hulao Pass, and then go to Xingyang tomorrow morning.
It is only more than three hundred miles away from Luoyang. For Li Hong and the others, there is nothing to take into consideration, and everyone gradually relaxes their vigilance.
Wei Tuqi led a team of ten riders, and quickly rushed to the most exact face, along the bumpy loess road, stepping on the yellow golden slanting sun, and taking the lead to plunge into the stretch of Songshan's remaining veins, looking for them An excellent place to camp.
The carriage bumped on the road, even at the slowest speed, it made Li Hong and Bai Chun sitting in the carriage a little unbearable, as if the internal organs had shifted.
So in desperation, he abandoned the carriage and replaced it with horseback riding. Seeing that the prince and Bai Chun were both riding horses, the mans and cheetahs who drove had no choice but to climb on the back of the horse, and then drove the empty carriage and walked slowly into the mountains.
In places where the carriage could not pass, after obtaining Li Hong's consent, he unloaded the carriage and placed it in the jungle, and then led the two horses to the mountains.
What surprised Bai Chun riding on horseback was that in the dim light in the mountains and forests, when he came to the camp site that Yutuqi had found in advance, he found that it was backed by the mountains and the terrain was steep and easy. It's hard to defend, and it's a great place to look out.
Except for the high mountains and dense forests behind him, standing in the campsite in the other three directions, you can clearly see the distant situation.
Li Hong is very satisfied with Wei Tuqi's vigilance. Even if he is not far from Luoyang, he still chooses the camp according to the standards of the wartime barracks when choosing the camp.
The mang species and the cheetah led a group of soldiers to set up a tent for Li Hong, and then formed a tight encirclement in the distance, while the mang species and the cheetah camped not far from the tent, like a mountain gate The place made Li Hong's tent instantly turned into an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Chinese army tent-like existence.
The night has come, and several fires have been lit. In the cold night, it exudes temperature and popularity.
Li Hong and Bai Chun are sitting in front of a fire~IndoMTL.com~ can’t help but sigh: “If Bai Qi is here at this time, it will be fine, at least there is no need to worry about fresh meat.”
As soon as the voice fell, I saw Wei Tuqi grinning, carrying two hares that were not completely dead, and happily handing them to the other soldiers, so that they could be handled before they were taken.
Li Hong waved to him and motioned him to come and sit down here. When Wei Tuqi came over, a group of five people formed a circle in front of the bright fire.
The look of the mang species is much more dignified than before, left to look at the cheetah, right to look at Wei Tuqi, and then his eyes began to look at the small stick in Li Hong's hand, painting on the ground.
In a short while, Luoyang and Xingyang, including a brief map of Dengfeng, which goes south along Mount Song, were formed under the branches of Li Hong.
The three places are like a triangle. The distance between Xingyang and Luoyang is the furthest, while Dengfeng, which is located in the south of the two places, is roughly the same distance between the two places.
"So, if we want to return to Luoyang, it is impossible to go directly to Luoyang from Xingyang. The only thing we can go is to hope that Hulaoguan Zhechong Mansion will not be controlled, and then go to Hulaoguan and go around. When I arrive in Dengfeng, I will travel from Dengfeng to Luoyang." After Li Hong finished speaking, he threw the branch in his hand into the fire, so he could watch a few people in his spare time.
Bai Chun's hot cheeks burned by the fire, a little red, looked at Li Hong with a puzzled look, and did not understand how he became so cautious when he was visiting the camp.
Li Hong ignored her doubts for the time being, but instead looked at the mang species who was going to Xingyang to borrow the war horse. It took three hours for the mang species to return after a two-hour journey back and forth.
Is there any secret hidden in this, that's why Li Hong decided to enter the mountain, and then chose to detour Dengfeng back to Luoyang.
