Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 105: Tongguan Encounters with the River Supervisor
In October, the weather is getting colder and colder.

Compared with the rush when they went to Guanzhong, the return was obviously much more leisurely. The soldiers of the Crane Control Army made a lot of money, and the convoy just pulling things became a long queue.

But it was probably the reason why everyone was so eager to return, even though they brought more things from Guanzhong back to Daliang, they walked faster and faster.

Shi Congyun seriously suspected that these people were doing foreign work when they came here!
On November [-]th, the chariot and horse brigade passed through Tongguan along the Guanzhong Avenue. When they heard that the front line had won a great victory, officials from the state government along the way led their troops and prepared a lot of wine and meat for the army.

Especially when passing through Huazhou, the people and the government are very enthusiastic.

Shi Yanchao paid homage to the Jiedu envoy of the Zhen Guojun, the Zhen Guojun was the Jiedu envoy of Huazhou, and Shi Congyun was Shi Yanchao's eldest son. The officials were flattering, but the common people were proud.

After passing Huazhou, there is no labor force on the way to Tongguan.

Until five or six miles away from Tongguan, I saw people with flags looming on the edge of the Yellow River in front of me, and then the scouts in front reported back, and met the team of Lao Jun again.

Shi Congyun stopped his horse, beckoned Shao Ji and Wang Zhong to come forward, and said as usual: "Go and make arrangements, just like before, take the auxiliary soldiers behind to collect the things, to put it nicely, let's divide up on the way, The army must not stop advancing."

Lao Jun is someone else's wish, maybe it's a good intention, but they are still rushing back to Daliang, and everyone is eager to return.

Shao Ji and Wang Zhong listened to the order and rode to the rear of the team to transfer people. Shi Congyun stopped the team and stopped by the side of the road to let the team go on.

This is Tongguan in the Tang Dynasty, facing the Yellow River in the north. The main building faces east and west. The bottom is a wide city wall of several feet, and the top is a city tower. The overall building height is about seven feet high. It is very majestic and magnificent. full.

The other end is followed by a high city wall, stretching to the south mountain, guarding the main road in and out of the pass.

Tongguan in the Qin and Han Dynasties was not in this position, but in the mountains and ravines to the south. This Tongguan was built during Wu Zetian's period due to the elevation of the Yellow River bed.

Shi Congyun remembers that Wei Yan's Ziwu Valley conspiracy in the records of the Three Kingdoms was to attack Hantong Pass from Ziwu Valley, cutting off the connection between Wei State and Guanzhong, and then Zhuge Liang led the Shu army into Sanguan to occupy Guanzhong.

Now that he also has a lot of battlefield experience, seeing Tongguan savoring it carefully, he couldn't help but think that Wei Yan is indeed a general who can fight and has military talents.

The defense direction of Tongguan is to the east, and Tongguan in Qin and Han Dynasties is Guanzhong's defense of the Central Plains, and a surprise attack from behind is equivalent to a backstab.

Take a gamble that if the surprise attack is successful, relying on the natural danger of Tongguan to resist the Eastern army, just like the story of Qin and Han in the past.

The Qin Dynasty defended the six-nation coalition army in the east with a million troops, and Liu Bang competed with the Chu army nearby for several years, so the situation in the world may be different.

It's a pity that the Shu Han is not Qin and Han, and the hearts of the people are not in harmony, and the national strength is not enough.

So Wei Yan only has military considerations and lacks political considerations, much like his father Shi Yanchao.

Standing in front of the ancient Tongguan Pass, Shi Congyun felt that "the past has passed through thousands of years".

Then chat with the scout who came back from the front: "Do you know who is here, why did you come here to work?"

The scout shook his head, and then agreed: "Dushi, I don't know who is coming, they are flying under the banner of Hezhong Mansion on the other side, so they should be from Hezhong Mansion.

It's strange to cross the river so far to work in the army. "

After hearing this, Shi Congyun was also curious. The Hezhong Mansion was on the other side of the Yellow River, and Lao Jun was really interested in coming from such a distance, so he ordered the scouts, "Go and ask who is leading the way on the opposite side. So-and-so goes to thank him personally, and go back quickly. "

"Okay!" The scout agreed, and rushed forward from the road.

Not long after, the scout came back along the road by the river, and reported loudly to him on horseback: "Dushi, the leader on the opposite side is the Hezhong Mansion Supervisor Army.

It is said that his name is Cao Bin. A certain man inquired with the soldier who came to work with him. He seems to have some relationship in the palace. "

The scout spoke with the intention of showing off, because Shi Congyun only asked him to ask the name of the leader on the other side, and he also cleverly inquired some gossip from his entourage.

"Good job, keep up the good work!" Shi Congyun boasted casually, then suddenly froze, and turned around to ask: "What do you say is the name of the army supervisor in the Hezhong Mansion?"

"Cao Bin, his subordinates said it." The scout agreed again.

Shi Congyun paused for a while, and muttered to himself: "It can't be the same name, the world is so big, how could there be Cao Bin in the Hezhong Mansion?"

He really didn't know what Cao Bin was doing at this time, he only remembered one of those handsome people who had an impression at this time, and that was Li Chuyun, who should be still under Zhecong Ruan in Shaanxi at this time.

"Cao Bin." Shi Congyun thought for a while, and then asked the scout: "You said he has something to do with it in the palace?"

The scout nodded: "I asked the soldiers under him."

"Let's go and have a look!" Shi Congyun immediately rode forward, overtaking the marching team, and everyone looked sideways at him.

Shi Congyun remembered that Cao Bin in history did have something to do with being in the palace.

Cao Bin's aunt, Zhang, married Guo Wei, the privy envoy of the Later Han Dynasty.In the first year of Guangshun, Guo Wei proclaimed himself emperor and established the current Dazhou regime. The Zhang family was conferred the title of imperial concubine.

This is an important reason why Cao Bin became the military supervisor of Hezhong Prefecture.

So after hearing that Cao Bin had something to do with the palace, he couldn't wait to take a look.

Arriving at the river ahead, there was a young man who organized and piled up a large amount of prepared materials on the side of the road and set up a fence. Shi Congyun's commander was talking with an official ahead.

The official was dressed in a green official uniform, not as tall as Shi Congyun, in his early twenties.

From a distance, it even looks a little thin and thin.

Shi Congyun looked at it from a distance, feeling a little excited in his heart, this could not be the real thing!
After walking a dozen steps in front of the person, he got off his horse and walked over. Commander Yuan saw him and hurriedly turned sideways to meet him.

The young man in Tsing Yi also stepped forward, with an excited expression on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Cao Bin, the Supervisor of the Hezhong Mansion, has met General Shi, and the general's reputation is as powerful as thunder."

Shi Congyun replied politely, with a few words of humility, thinking that he did have credit, but this is only a local war, so it can't be said to be thunderous.
"It's overrated." Shi Congyun said politely, and pretended to remember something, and asked tentatively: "The supervisor of the Hezhong Mansion seems to have some impressions, could it be that the supervisor's aunt is the noble concubine Zhang Shi! "

"Exactly." Cao Bin nodded.

Shi Congyun's heart skipped a beat, it's really Cao Bin!

"Brother Cao, thank you for your hard work. I trouble you to cross the river from Hezhong Mansion to work in the army. I feel really sorry!" Shi Congyun laughed loudly, and grabbed Cao Bin's hand, and Cao Bin couldn't let go.

Inherited from Shi Yanchao, he is tall and his strength is getting stronger day by day. He is still growing at the age of 16.

"Meeting is fate, you guys hurry up and prepare wine and meat, I want to have a drink with Supervisor Cao on the bank of the Yellow River!"
