Han Shizu

Chapter 1177 Cangshan Erhai Lake
When Wang Renshan was blocked by the Nongdong and was working hard to prepare for a breakthrough, Wang Quanbin's army on the West Road also made a breakthrough.After more than a month of arduous marching, they finally crossed those high mountains and obstacles and went deep into the territory of Dali.

Of course, it can't be regarded as in-depth, because there is still a long distance from the city of Yangjubaa.In fact, in terms of distance, the East Road is in Nongdong Mansion, which is much closer to Dali Kingdom.

However, because the East Route Army attracted a large number of Dali troops to defend, it also made the northern city, which was not valued so much, more empty. Although the distance is a bit far, if the surprise attack is successful, the effect will naturally be significant. of.

Jinsha River, as the most important water vein in Dali, has turbulent torrents and mighty water, especially in the upper reaches, which is even more dangerous.And since he came from the south of the mountain, Wang Quanbin led the army non-stop and went straight to the river. Although it was still rough and difficult, it was much faster than the barren mountain trail.

By the [-]th day of the eighth month, most of the Han army had already drank the Jinsha River.And the first time they arrived at the Jinsha River, the Han army only did one thing, boil water, take a bath, change clothes and shoes, and reward the three armies.

This was much more thorough than the two or three days of rest in the mountains, and Wang Quanbin only gave the whole army a day and two nights.After that, it is necessary to cross Jinsha to the west, turn south, and go straight to the city of Yangjubaa.

As the coach of Nanzheng, Wang Quanbin finally enjoyed the privilege of taking a bath alone, or a hot bath, and his personal soldiers specially added water to rub his back.
After going through this journey, Wang Quanbin lost a lot of weight, and his figure was obviously less burly, and the fat between his belly was also loose. I don't know how this old body can bear this weight strenuous.

After a bath, I changed into a clean military uniform, and my whole body became much more energetic.On the side, the guards were cleaning up the old shoes and clothes that Wang Quanbin had taken off. Not only were they tattered, but they also gave off a stench.This time the West Route Army set off, everyone prepared an extra set of military uniforms, and prepared two more pairs of shoes, but two pairs were not enough, and many people's soles were worn out.

"Slow down!" Wang Quanbin stopped him when he saw that the soldiers were about to throw it away.

"What's the order from the commander in chief?" The soldiers stopped, and a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes.

Wang Quanbin stepped forward and looked through the pile of junk. A complex color flashed in his old eyes, and he sighed: "Don't throw it away, put it in a bag and put it away!"

"Yes!"

Obviously, the old general was deeply touched by this trip of the West Route Army, and he wanted to keep it as a souvenir.However, this Southern Expedition is only halfway through, and the most difficult days are over, and the next step is to plan how to attack Dali.

"Go, call Shangguan, and follow me to see the Jinsha River!" Wang Quanbin ordered.

The place where the army was stationed was probably within the jurisdiction of the Ninglang Yi Autonomous County of later generations. In today's Dali, it is considered a remote area. There are almost no farmlands in the surrounding area, but there are some tribal mountain people.

On the banks of the Jinsha River, many soldiers are still playing in the water, cheering and releasing, and even those with good water skills and courage go directly to the deep water area to play.After suffering so much, everyone wanted to let go, and Wang Quanbin rarely stopped.

Looking at the Jinsha River flowing southward and feeling its turbulence, Wang Quanbin couldn't help asking: "This river is called the Jinsha River. Could it be that what flows at the bottom of the river is really Jinsha?"

"If it's really a Jinsha River, such a precious land, it's even more impossible for the Dali Duan family to steal it!" Shangguan responded, obviously joking.

"We have to cross this river as soon as possible!" Wang Quanbin said seriously: "Since we have shown signs, we must fully react in Dali and go straight to Yangjubaa City!"

Hearing this, Shangguan pointed to the cliff on the opposite bank and said: "Although the east bank here is gentle, the west bank is steep and not conducive to fording. If you want to cross the river, you need to find another place. At the end, people have been arranged to explore. In addition, we have already tried Now, the skin bag you carry, as long as it is fully inflated, is enough to support you to cross the river!"

Considering the situation of crossing the river, it is inconvenient to make temporary boats and rafts. Wang Quanbin's army also prepared some leather airbags in advance to swim across the water.Hearing this, Wang Quanbin asked: "How many skins are left in the army?"

Shangguan replied: "Throw away the damaged and discarded ones, there are more than [-] tools left, which are enough to cross the river!"

"How many soldiers are left?" Wang Quanbin asked a heavy topic again.

Shangguanzheng said calmly: "According to the statistics, there are 21384 soldiers left in the whole army!"

"Nearly [-]% of my soldiers have been lost!" Wang Quanbin sighed.

"How much ration is left?"

"For half a month, if you count the livestock accompanying the army, it can be doubled!" Shangguan said rightly.

"Although I'm a little nervous, but now that I'm in the place, are you afraid that I won't be able to find food?" Wang Quanbin is confident.

Shangguan Zheng said: "With Deputy Wang recruiting envoys making great fanfare on the East Road, the rear of Dali must be unprepared. Even if they are prepared, they will definitely not have enough strength. They will never think that we dare to take the dead path in the north and penetrate directly into its heart! "

"Next, we're going to race against time!"

During the discussion between the two, Kang Baoyi, the former commander of the army, came to find him.Kang Baoyi is the second-generation general of the Han Dynasty. He is brave and good at fighting. He is the son of the frontier general Kang Zaiyu. Although he is not old, he has nearly 20 years of experience in the army. This is also a boy who started to roll in the military camp People, in the past also participated in many wars of the Han Dynasty.

There were a few other people who followed the Kangbao people, a few aborigines in local costumes.Kang Baoyi stepped forward and reported: "Du Shuai, the general led people to inspect the surrounding area and found these people. This is He Cheng, the leader of the local tribe. He heard that the army had passed by and was willing to surrender. The general specially brought him to meet Du Shuai!"

Hearing this, Wang Quanbin immediately became interested.And those few clansmen, under the leadership of the leader, directly knelt down and kowtowed.

Through translation, we had a relatively smooth communication with him. From his mouth, Wang Quanbin learned that the area in the upper reaches of the Jinsha River is surrounded by some tribesmen. They are rarely under the jurisdiction of the Dali Kingdom and belong to the impoverished areas in Dali. .Moxie, that is, Naxi.

As for the military situation around him, and how far it is from Yangjubaa City, he couldn't answer it.However, he is familiar with the surrounding geographical conditions, and expressed his willingness to lead the way, and provided a suitable place to cross the river.

After some careful cross-examination and confirmation that there was no fraud, Wang Quanbin naturally accepted his surrender, and then asked him to choose a few clansmen who were familiar with the road to guide the army.

Due to adequate preparations, it only took half a day to cross the river. The so-called natural danger of the Jinsha River was declared broken, causing no obstacles to the Han army at all, and even the Dali army did not notice it.

After crossing the river, at the urging of Wang Quanbin, the remaining [-] or so West Road Han troops started a hurricane-advancing mode and headed south all the way.The further south, the city also increased. Dali finally reacted, but the sparse defense did not cause any obstruction at all.

From Sanbo to Hechuan, Dali officials guarded the generals along the way. Facing the Han army, they made the same choice as those tribes and surrendered.In this regard, Wang Quanbin accepted all of them. Apart from collecting some rations, livestock, and asking for guides, he did not stop the pace of marching, but continued to march straight in.

As long as there is no strong resistance, leave him alone.In this way, by August 27, Wang Quanbin's army arrived at Longshouguan, which is also the gateway to the north of Yangjumei City, almost without hindrance.

But this portal was unprepared and could not resist the sudden and fierce Han army.A surprise attack can be conquered in half a day.After Longshou Pass was conquered, the city of Yangjubaa opened its doors to the Han army.

Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake have become the most beautiful background of the Han army's horses riding sheep and Jubaa city.
