The road was muddy and difficult to navigate. The Zhou army generals were exhausted and unable to form a strong offensive pressure. The two sides fought with bows and arrows dozens of steps away, and the large areas of Zhou army soldiers on the hillside gradually collapsed.
Xiang Gong looked at the heavy smoke after the fortifications above and the roaring soldiers around him, unable to rebuke the soldiers. Everyone is not a god, and he can't blame people for their ineffective fighting because of the road conditions.
The fighting gradually eased and tended to cease. Only a few people were left on the hillside to support and carry the injured soldiers and gradually walked back. Xiang Gong turned his head and said to the Jiedu Shizhedehan of the Jingdi Army: "Today's test cannot be done overnight. Who is the general of the Shu army here? Very capable."
Zhe Defu said: "Is there a famous general in Shu?"
Xiang Gongdao: "There are no famous generals, but talents are still there. This person digs trenches and sets up fences carefully without greed, tactics are dull, but very pragmatic; the subordinates can’t see anything extraordinary, but the military discipline is strict. It’s quite structured. Today, if I meet someone with a mere appearance and seize the opportunity to win Qingniling in one go, I still don’t know; but the Shu army is so rigidly defending, we have no good way."
Zhede worshiped: "It is reasonable to speak to the public."
...Xiang Gong had no choice but to take the lead down the mountain and set up a camp in the north of Qingniling, waiting for the remaining army to come from Lianglu 6th. Not long after, in the army, I saw Li Gu, a former battalion supervising army who had just arrived in Qingniling. Li Gu supervised all states and counties to transport the first batch of grain and grass materials.
So Xiang Gong and the generals received Li Gu together, and a group of people had a talk in the army's big account.
Xiang Gong looked at a gray-headed general. This person was called Wang Tingyi. Wang Jing’s eldest son... was older than Xiang Gong and looked at least fifty or so, but Xiang Gong first met Wang Jing. Once said that brothers and sisters fought side by side; if they were polite to discuss the relationship, Wang Tingyi should be called Uncle Xiang Gong.
This is a bit embarrassing. Xiang Gong is only forty-five years old and young, so he called: "General Wang, is Wang Shizhong (Wang Jing) in good health?"
"My father is sixty-eight years old, and his body is still tough, but he can't bear the long journey, so the sentinel will lead the Qinzhou army to come to serve." Wang Tingyi worshipped.
Xiang Gong nodded and said: "Wang Laojie Shuai was old and strong, and now I can realize that Laojie Shuai is the old age." He pondered for a moment and said, "The Wang family has been in Fengxiang for many years, and guards Qin Fengzhu. In the three years in the state, there are many people who should make friends here. I have to ask General Wang to find some people who are familiar with the Shu Road and reorganize the truth about going to Hanzhong."
Wang Tingyi stood up and worshiped: "The last general will take the command."
After hearing this, Li Gu asked, "General Xiang will not attack Qingniling?"
Xiang Gongdao: "Chen Cang Road across Qingni Ling is the best way to go, of course I have to try; I just want to prepare other ways in advance."
"How long does General Xiang expect to capture Qingniling?" Li Gu asked again.
"This..." Xiang Gong frowned, "My current plan is to send people to transport stones and charcoal to pave a road on the ridge; to build fortifications and fortifications near the enemy's fortifications. Then you can Attack one after another.
Otherwise, as eagerly seeking success as the day before yesterday, the soldiers arrived at the battlefield already exhausted and unable to break through the Shu army front. "
Li Gu was not very happy, and said: "Although Qingniling is difficult to navigate, the Shu army has no big city to rely on. We have to attack a mountain so slowly, when can we go down to Hanzhong? The Shu Road transports grain and goods, and the mountains are high and far away. If the 20,000 army stays in this wilderness for too long, it will cost a lot, and I cannot explain it to the court."
Li Gu is both the prime minister and the supervising army; Xiang Gong's expression is good, but he didn't act either. He said solemnly: "Qingniling has a large amount of supplies from the Shu army, and the nearest place can only rely on Xingzhou; the cost of the Shu army is not less than ours. If the Shu army defends layer by layer by virtue of the climate, no one can help. That’s just a fight for national strength."
"If this is the case, General Xiang had better write a letter to the court to describe the situation here." Li Gu reminded.
...At this time, on the Qingni Ridge, a black and short man was standing behind the fence with his sword, pointing to the front and saying: "Send someone to the front to pick up all the arrows on the slope, wash and dry. Do it. Rebuild the hayloft behind, away from the fortifications."
The generals left.
The general of the Shu army who gave the order was called Hou Mao, but people generally called him a "monkey" because of his short stature and his unfortunate surname. Monkey originally planned to study the imperial examination, but the articles he wrote were scolded by others, so he had to inherit his father's mantle as a military commander, and became the Xingzhou defensive officer by virtue of his qualifications. It's totally impossible to become a martial artist halfway, just because you can't become a martial artist... naturally you are not a famous general.
Hou Mao traveled ahead and returned to the camp on the mountain. More people were transporting materials to build simple houses and set up tents. On the back of the mountain, countless civilian husbands bent over and slowly pulled the cart, and there were people behind it. A four-wheeled scooter was filled with wood, and unfortunately got stuck in a mud pit. In front of a sludge-covered civilian man, he crawled on the ground and pulled the hemp rope deeply into the clothes on his shoulders. Several people behind Step forward to help push.
"One or two, get up! One or two, get up..." the man with a Hanzhong accent yelled. The people living in the high mountains are still very hard-working.
As soon as Hou Mao reached the top of the mountain, everyone bent over and said, "General Hou..."
"General He Xihou won the battle, and he will return to'Rongcheng' in the future, only waiting for Fengchi to boast." A civil official said politely. Today everyone looked at "monkey" a little differently.
Hou Mao didn't react enthusiastically, he snorted and left, and when he reached the Chinese army, he said to a relative who was an aide to him: "Write me a letter to Hanzhong, asking for a large number of people and things to help Qingniling! "
The relative was a full head taller than the "monkey" and wondered: "We won the battle, but we don't ask for credit but we are in a hurry?"
Hou Mao said: "The Shu army was able to block Zhou's battle only because of its geographical advantage; the road here is not easy to walk, but there is more than one way, and the front line is too long. When the Zhou Dynasty army rushes into the four directions, we will soon Can't hold it."
Hou Mao's Chengdu accent is relatively soft in Xichuan; Dongchuan (in Chongqing) has a harder accent. He is a native of Western Sichuan, not the group of migrants who followed the Meng family to Shu in the post-Tang Dynasty.
"Why don't the general guard Xingzhou City?" a junior relative reminded.
Hou Mao snorted: "You want to be like others scolded. Shu people are surrounded by mountains and have no knowledge? How is the city of Hanzhong better than the towns of Hebei and Hedong? How is it better than the city of Shouzhou in Nantang State, It depends on Zhou Jun's commander to "make a military order to Xingzhou in January"?"
He turned his head and said to his staff: "We have clearly written down our situation. The Shu army is not as powerful as the Zhou army. The decisive battle will be defeated!"
The aides said: "I'm afraid that the Shannan Xidao Military Mansion is unhappy."
"Will you be happy when Zhou Jun has captured Hanzhong?" Hou Mao's black face was very ugly. "The terrain of Qingniling is difficult to walk, sparsely populated, and supply operations are very inconvenient; but Zhou Jun is no better than us. It's better. If you don't guard the city, you will spend it hard, and see who can consume it; the rich and the Shu is not worse than the Zhou Dynasty.
But if Yicheng fights decisively, relying on the strength of the soldiers, the Shu army faces the Zhou army who has been fighting in the South and the North for years, and it is the strength of its own short-term attack. "
Several people had to say together: "But let General Hou call the shots." Hou Mao had no prestige in the army, this time he won one game, and the generals approved it for a while.
There is still mud on the Qingni Ridge, and everyone is like rolling in the mud and struggling to survive.
……
However, Chengdu is in a different situation. Huadu Rongcheng is not so famous.
The fertile, moist plains, the harvested paddy fields are white, and even in the winter, the fields are green with many vegetables. Decades of Taiping, the vast western plains and various hills and mountainous areas of the rich materials were transported to Chengdu, making this capital city of Shu very prosperous and prosperous. The sound of silk and bamboo orchestras goes on day and night, and the quaint streets and alleys are densely populated. Traffickers and pawns are doing all kinds of snacks in them. The fragrance has been floating on the streets in winter, making people salivate.
In the imperial palace, there are carved columns and jade, and the paintings are bright and clean. There are many flowers and trees in the south that will not wither even in winter. At this time, there are also verdant green dots, which is very lively and lively; it is completely different from the northern Tokyo. Something.
But the atmosphere is not good for a while.
The two roads of Zhoujun in the northwestern northwest were moving south, and the movement was too loud. Meng Chang had already learned of this. The Zhou Dynasty threatened him not once or twice, but this time it seemed to be a real move, and the army was mobilized. In panic, Meng Chang wanted to respond positively... but he was arrogant as soon as he went up, and he didn't know what to do. I had to adopt the most conventional method and send a large number of troops to the north for reinforcements; but the selection of generals everywhere was very ridiculous, many people recommended, and some volunteered.
Meng Chang finally got out of the women's pile this time, Mrs. Huarui Fei seized the opportunity and once again persuaded him: "Your Majesty should choose talents and reward soldiers for a long-term solution."
Meng Chang still can hear Mrs. Huarui's words while he is worried, and for a while, he has become more humble, and asked: "How do I choose the best, how do I know who is loyal and who is the villain?"
Fei's mouthful of Chengdu Shu accent is soft, the voice is not crisp, but it has a mid-tone charm: "Your Majesty spends less time with those women and alchemists, and meets with ministers of civil and military affairs more often. Over time, you can tell. Who is what kind of person."
"The words are reasonable." Meng Chang nodded solemnly, "How to reward soldiers?"
Fei Shi said: "The world is fighting endlessly. All monarchs focus on military affairs and continuously increase taxes to support the army. Your majesty does not need to repay, as long as the taxes that have been received are transferred from the civil jester to the military generals. Obliquely, the commander’s heart is natural for his majesty to use his life. His concubines courageously say that the important officials of the royal family have been in Shu for decades. Your majesty is benevolent, and the people of Shu long for it; your majesty does not need to be partial and can delegate some power to the local competent ministers in Shu. Magi."
Meng Chang accepted it all and couldn't help nodding. But Mrs. Huarui knew that she was a singing girl, and it was strange that an emperor could take the singing girl's comments on the military affairs seriously, and sighed quietly.
Meng Chang is very enthusiastic at this time, and he is full of ambition: "Tomorrow, I will go to court, govern the country with my heart, and strive to govern!"
