Power and Empire Chapter 2887: Guanglingchuan
Southern Guanglingchuan, in the center of the Great Plain where the two rivers converge, waves are tumbling in the sun, and the cascading wave-like houses that extend from the city look exceptionally majestic in the afterglow of the evening, twenty meters high. The outer city wall extends along the river channel, leaving a large area of shadow under the light. In other places, it has just got rid of the winter. Here, there is already a smell of flying flowers in the city.
A little bit of white pollen fell on the dark wall with the wind. From time to time, deep gaps were revealed between the walls. If you look closely, you will find that it is all caused by huge rocks. These gaps record The beacon and wolf smoke of Guangling for decades, even if it is set off by the moon dragon flowers on the tall trees in the city, it can’t hide the iron-clad clank in the bones.
"It is another year of spring. I don’t know if the children of the Long family ride their horses out of Guangling from here, how many people will go back to Guangling!" Guangling city guard Longqiushan stands alone on the east gate tower. Above, looking at the vast land in the distance, I couldn't help but sigh. The afterglow of the setting sun in the distance is gradually disappearing. At the end of my sight is a vast expanse of farmland and a peaceful mountain, but tens of thousands of Guangling children are still there. The facts of Yanzhou **** battle
The news from Yanzhou is getting more and more difficult every day. The long family general, Long Jue, died in the Luokou Fortress in Shangjing, and 5,700 Guangling children died in the same battle. The Yelu family's army broke through the Luokou Fortress. , Completed the final encirclement of Yanzhou and Shangjing, after that, there was no news! Even Guangling, the base camp of the Western Army, is experiencing great volatility at this moment. The war in the north has caused tens of thousands of soldiers. The soul-calling pans hanging on the door of every household are like the white flowers scattered all over the city, even in the spring breeze. Can’t resolve this grief,
Because of the terrain, the Southwest Basin has always been a local plot. I think the terrain of the basin is easy to defend and difficult to attack. You only need to get stuck in the pass, and you can sit and watch the war spread outside the basin. So for a long time, Southwesterners have been Accustomed to the customs of managing their own household affairs, during this time, more and more wealthy and noble families have moved out of Guangling. Even Longqiu Mountain can keenly perceive that these local nobles who have left Guangling are due to the loss of the Long family. In order to gain confidence, the Chaotang Three-Road Investigation Envoy entered the southwest, which proved that the Long Family, which has been in the southwest for decades, has been unable to control the situation in the southwest. If there are wars in the north, the whole southwest has expressed that the Long Family has defended Yanzhou with southwest soldiers. Dissatisfaction
The Long Family was able to stay in the Southwest for so many years because the Long Family was fighting for the Southwest, and they didn’t know how many of the Long Family, so they got the whole Southwest’s heart. But what happened to the Long Family with Southwesterners guarding Yanzhou? Could it be that my Southwestern's life is so worthless, and I can't manage it. Why should I protect Yanzhou? Even for the Long Family, this approach is not acceptable!
The situation of people's minds is so uncontrollable. During the period, the court envoy Luke helped to fuel the flames. For three days, the court envoy went to the Long Family Mansion every day to question the Long Family’s attack on the court envoy. After being ignored by the Long Family, this old man, who was nearly 60 years old, simply laid a ground floor in front of the Long Family, claiming that the Long Family had humiliated the court angels. For this reason, the Long Family had already closed its doors. After staying closed for two days, the Long Family’s attitude naturally shakes the southwest gentry in the city. The main force of the Long Family is still in North Yanzhou, and they don’t know their life or death. Now the base camp is blocked again, and they have a good relationship with the Long Family. The gentry in the area, more than 60 members of the Lu family in southwestern China were also killed overnight, and no murderer has been found yet.
The Long Family has 30,000 or 40,000 garrison troops in the southwestern sky. At this moment, they can’t be deployed at all. 30,000 are stationed on the border of the Falcon Empire, and 10,000 are stationed on the road to Yanzhou in the southwest. Above, the base camp of Guangling, there are only three thousand city guards. Once something happens, whether it will be useful or not, it is still two to say. In this case, staying in Guangling is not waiting for disaster!
"Qiu Shan, how is the situation today? There are thirty-nine families in the city. Today, I am afraid that none of them are left!" An armored general of the Long family walked over the city road in the distance. ,
"Report to the adults, the Qian family, the Lu family, the Wen family, and the Hu family. ◢Щщш.suimeng.lā... I hesitated a few days ago, but today I have left Guangling. Now in Guangling City, there is only the Du family. "Longqiushan's figure was shocked, and he took a deep breath and stood up straight and saluted. It is the Shangguan of Longqiu Mountain. The Long Family is now the principal of the base camp. Long Po, the younger brother of Patriarch Long Yang, and Patriarch Long Yang The shapely body is different. The dragon is extremely strong, and his sturdy body is half a head taller than the average person. His eyes are piercing and bursting, giving people a feeling of burning. When walking, there is a dull sound under the feet. The voice, only a breath belonging to the battlefield Titans directly rushed over,
"Let's go, let's go, it's okay if all are gone!" The seemingly mad Long family head, a calm flash in his eyes, indicating that he is not so uncomfortable on the outside. Long Yang dared to take the main force to the north of Yanzhou, and naturally it would not be mediocre. In fact, this Long Po is a very difficult role in the eyes of Zhongbia Chaotang.
"Your Excellency, Chaotang is going to kill our Long Family this time, so I keep retreating, I'm afraid that then...!" Longqiushan's face was ugly, and his voice paused, I don't know. Should I keep talking,
"Why, are you afraid that my Long Family will collapse like this?" Long Po's mouth hehe sneered, "These unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, my Long Family hasn't treated them badly for decades, just a little bit bad. The news and the mere six-tier family had bought them all. If it weren’t for the Long Family’s promise that they would no longer let Guangling be filled with blood, and Guangling is the main place of my Long Family, suicides would have a major impact on the reputation of the Long Family. , I ordered all these people to be intercepted long ago." Long Po's voice paused. He is worthy of being a soldier, and his tone is mostly a sturdy air between the lines. He continued, "The departure of the noble family, for my Long family In fact, the blow is not big. As long as the Yanzhou war is victorious and the main force of the Long Family’s western army returns, everything is not a problem. If Yanzhou fails, it will be the biggest blow to the Long Family. So these gentry let them go. When the time comes, Their natural way, except for my Long Family, Chaotang simply cannot protect them!"
"At that time?" Longqiushan's face was stunned. Hearing what Long Po meant, the Long Family had already prepared for it.
"When you know, you will naturally know." Long Po stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, and said slowly, "The court wanted to take advantage of the Yanzhou War. It was nothing more than thinking that Long's family was in Yanzhou. The state would be defeated, why didn’t I think about it. How could it be arbitrary that my Long family had been entrenched in the southwest for decades? If it weren’t for the order of the Longyang Patriarch, I would have seized an excuse for harassing the place. In the name of conforming to the people’s sentiments, he mercilessly expelled all of the investigations into the southwest of Sanlu, but he showed a little weakness. The court immediately made a big deal, and it was the 30 sixth-rank gates that were smashed down, ha ha. Not to mention that the Southwest gentry was tempted, it was my Long family, why not tempted! So these gentry's actions are understandable, but the other party sent someone to kill the whole Lu clan, which is another matter!"
"My lord is saying that the oath of the Long Family's Western Army not entering the land of flattery Zhangwu can be broken?" A thought flashed through Longqiushan's mind, and suddenly his body trembled with excitement, as it was sixty years ago. The **** battle in Guanglingchuan can be said to be the catastrophe of the entire southwest. At that time, the Gaul Empire in the West Continent was the most prosperous era. The river advanced from the upper reaches into the southwestern basin of Central Piazza, and burned along the way. It almost hit the Guanglingchuan where the two rivers converge in the hinterland. A full 200,000 Gaul army was like leeches over the Guanglingchuan. His long spears are like frost on the ground, and there is a large Gaul fleet that comes along the river full of supplies to follow, the sails are like forests, and the battlefields are like mountains
For three months of **** siege, the heavy slings carried by the Gaul fleet almost flattened the hills near Guanglingchuan. Finally, because of the outbreak of plague in the Gaul army, they had to retreat. In that battle, the 200,000 local defenders in southwestern China and Biyah defended Guanglingchuan, and the remaining number was less than 20,000. More than 37,000 military members in Guanglingchuan Fortress assisted in the battle, and they were almost extinct.
The population of the entire Southwest at that time was less than 10 million. Because of this war, two million people were directly turned into ashes. It was originally like the southwest of China. Because of this war, it suffered a heavy setback. Unable to stop the imperial court’s intervention, the Zhongbian imperial court dispatched Long Feiyang, a general who had just put down the southern rebellion at the time, to lead one hundred thousand troops into the southwest of the imperial court.
Many people believe that Long Feiyang’s entry into the southwest must be the same as when the south was suppressed, the sword opened the way. The local gentry in the southwest were first bloodbathed, and then the southwest was slowly adjusted to the southwest. At that time, the people in the southwest were in panic, and the gentry from all over the country prepared to migrate Disaster, it’s a big deal to leave the southwest and go to the southern Song clan. The south is connected to the southwest. The gentry of the two places are not connected in a day or two. If it were not for the support of the Southern Song clan, the southwest would not be able to independently block the court’s power for a hundred years, but there are options What was left was to organize the last force in the southwest to resist Long Feiyang's entry. Long Feiyang, known as the Living Hades, had no idea how many heads of the Southwest gentry were cut off, and how many prominent families in the Southwest were turned into **** dust. In the end, it was Guanglingchuan, the last of the Southwestern. The power was all killed by Long Feiyang’s army. Tens of thousands of Southwesterners’ corpses were thrown into the river in front of Guangling River. The land was stained with blood, and Longjia Town was southwest of Central Bialand. In the following decades, the changes in the years have once seen dozens of miles. Guanglingchuan, the **** battle line of mountain and forest scenery, has gradually become a smoky Guangling city.
With the increase of the Dragon family’s power, it has been expanded many times, changing from ten miles to twenty miles, thirty miles, and forty miles. Finally, from an acropolis of tens of thousands of people, it gradually became like the present one. Guangling, a large southwestern city with a population of 500,000, where two large rivers meet, is vast and boundless, and it is among the largest cities in the Central and Bian Empire. Nanguangling can definitely enter the top five most populous cities.
The unique Weishan iron ore mine in Guanglingchuan is the largest iron ore deposit in southern Central Biya. There is even a saying that the Long family chose Guangling. In fact, the Weishan iron ore that they valued, Guangling, which they valued, is open. Convenient transportation, as long as a little development is needed, it is a Wangba foundation
In the heyday of the Western Army before it was split, the Long family had more than 300,000 soldiers and was in the southwest. Half of them were from Guangling. They were the true direct lineage that the Long family could have decided in one word.
The Long Family uses Guanglingchuan as its base camp, constantly moving in the surrounding population, building more stable fortifications, and building four gates on the Longyan River in the southwest where Guanglingchuan converges, completely breaking the western mainland ship. The team may follow the route of the Xichuan waterway, and continue to swallow the natives around the southwest, expand the strategic buffer zone, and turn the southwest, which was originally only four provinces, into the scale of the six provinces in the southwest.
Finally, from the original imperial court’s barrier to the Western Continent, it became the biggest hidden danger in the hearts of the emperors of the Chinese and Biya Empire. There was once a minister in the imperial court said that if the West Army of the Long Family rebelled, 300,000 Long Family When the Western army leaves Guangling, the entire China-Biya Empire will collapse at least by half
For this reason, the court has painstakingly planned, spent more than ten years of work, and finally seized an opportunity for the outbreak of internal conflicts in the Western Army, and pulled out some of the elite troops from the Western Army who had opinions on the Long Family and announced Managed by Shun Chaotang,
In the name of mediating the contradiction between the two armies, the court again demanded that the Long Family can only be in the Southwest Guangling, and the divided Western Army was changed to flatter the Zhang Wu Army. Under extreme humiliation, the Long Family Patriarch issued angrily The oath that "Long Family West Army will never enter the land of flattery Zhangwu" can be regarded as a complete break with the court,
Since then, the Long Family’s Western Army did not enter the area that flattered the Zhangwu Army, and the court did not send troops to the Southwest, which meant that the Long Family’s control of the Southwest was acquiesced.
For many years, this humiliation pressed on the Long Family is like an invisible rope, and the children of the Long Family are a little overwhelmed.
And now ~IndoMTL.com~ It is obvious that the court has broken its oath, not only to win over the hearts of the people, but also to send troops to attack the southwest gentry, dozens of Lu family were destroyed, although there is no evidence pointing to the court, but Everyone knows it well and did it in the courtroom,
"If the court does not abide by the oath of the day, naturally my dragon family does not have to keep it! The 2,000 people in the court want to do whatever they want, really when my tens of thousands of dragon family's western troops are all furnishings?"
The dragon slammed his hand against the cold battlements, with a strong killing intent in his tone, his eyes swept across the landscape in front of him, sweeping the Guangling River in the Pingchuan for dozens of miles, and he said sharply, "My dragon’s family has been in the southwest for dozens. In 1970, I was doing my best for the Southwest, but only because of the suppression of the family, many of the Southwest gentry had complaints about the Long Family. They just didn’t say it on weekdays, and my Long Family couldn’t find an excuse to make trouble. Now Okay, how nice it is to jump out!
Since the Southwestern people have almost forgotten Guanglingchuan back then, they have forgotten that Guanglingchuan was dyed red with human blood, then I, Longpo, came to tell them, didn’t they say that my Long family suppressed the door? That just happened to show the entire southwest gentry, how much is Chaotang's Sixth-Rank Clan worth? It’s time to calculate the account that split my Western Army back then! "
