Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

"Oh, the tea cup is still full... the small one is for the two to exchange heat." Dr. Tea came over and quickly put two empty cups on the teapot, and then he could not help but sneak a glance around. Xian was stunned immediately, "Duo Duo..." The tea cup quickly filled up, and the hot tea spilled onto the table and a white vapor appeared.

Guo Shao sat on the opposite side, and saw Zhou Xian an angry face and a cold eyebrow. Guo Shao said: "Does it look good?"

Dr. Cha suddenly recovered, followed Guo Shao's voice, suddenly turned pale, and fell to his knees: "Little damn, little damn..."

Guo Shao was a little surprised to see this appearance. He was dressed in a cloth robe, and there seemed to be nowhere to reflect his identity; he rarely went in and out of teahouses, and it was impossible for a teahouse buddy to recognize him. But Dr. Cha was frightened like this... Just now, he was a little unhappy in his heart, and he didn't know what to do. After all, he couldn't get through with a guy; he didn't do anything unforgivable.

"Wipe the table dry." Guo Shao said casually.

"Yes, yes." Dr. Cha hurriedly pulled off the towel from his shoulders, dried his sleeves with a few strokes, and bent over to face Guo Shao, not daring to look at Zhou Xian again. With a light wave of Guo Shao's hand, Dr. Cha escaped from the private room in relief. .

Zhou Xian's eyes flickered, he looked at Guo Shao, and said softly: "General Guo scared him."

Guo Shao said: "The Dr. Cha doesn't know who I am..."

Zhou Xian's face blushed and said, "You don't need to know your identity, you can tell at a glance that you are not annoying." Guo Shao smiled: "I am like a bully?" Zhou Xian shook his head: "I have never been to such a place, but I also understand that there are people coming and going here every day; don’t underestimate Dr. Cha, you’ve seen more people than us, how can he fail to see what General Guo is like..."

But Zhou Xian is not exposed to the dust, even if he is angry, he is not scary, but cute and cute.

She frowned again: "Let's leave here, I don't want to be stared at by messy people."

Guo Shao nodded, got up and walked to the bamboo curtain, waiting for Zhou Xian to pick up the drapery hat and get up. Seeing that the bamboo curtain had been opened, she lowered her head and walked out silently. The two quickly disappeared from the hall.

They got into the carriage of Chen Jiali's house and rode in the same carriage. Zhou Xian said: "I want to go to my cousin's house first, and the entourage and groom who went out with me are still there."

Guo Shao shouted: "Return to Chen Mansion in the west of the city."

Zhou Xian rubbed his hands gently, covering his mouth and let out a sigh of heat.

"Drive!" The person in front yelled and slapped a whip. As soon as the carriage moved, the people in the carriage leaned back slightly. Guo Shao stretched out his hand to support Zhou Xian's shoulder. As soon as his hand touched her body, her shaved shoulders trembled slightly. She stretched out her hand and gently lifted Guo Shao's hand...In this era, although Neo-Confucianism has not yet emerged, it is still incomparable with modern times, and she casually touches a woman's body from time to time.

Zhou Xian whispered: "In such a cold day, your hands are still so hot."

Guo Shao boldly stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Xian's slender jade hand, she shrank back without breaking free, and did not struggle any more. Guo Shao simply held one in each hand, and said kindly: "Is it warm?"

Her side flushed, her beautiful eyes were gentle and drooping, and she did not speak. At this time, Guo Shao remembered the question Zhou Xian had asked before, and was interrupted by Dr. Cha; but later Zhou Xian did not ask again, so he stopped mentioning it.

After bidding farewell, Zhou Xian left Tokyo with Li Yu, the envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty and others the next day.

...

At this time, in late October of the fourth year of Xiande, Xiang Gong had mobilized thirty-nine command troops to approach the important place of Shu Road: Qingniling. The 20,000 troops and tens of thousands of people on the roads continued to flow continuously. At this time, the signs of using force could no longer be concealed.

Zhou Jun went south from the two roads and walked along Chencang Road, Chencang (Baoji), Dasanguan, Fengzhou, Guzhen, Qingniling; all the way to Qinzhou (Tianshui, Gansu), Chengzhou, Guzhen, and Qingniling. ..

(Going south from Qinzhou, you can go straight from the "Yinping Road" from Longyou to Shu, but the Yinping Road is a narrow narrow road that is not suitable for army movement; and Xianggong's target this time is Hanzhong, so the two armies have to meet in Guzhen , To attack Qingniling... or if you don’t walk to Qingniling, you have to use the "Lianyun Plank Road" to insert into the southern part of the Baoxie in the east, and go straight to Hanzhong. But as the name suggests, Lianyun seems to be connected to Yuntian, a sinister plank The best way to march is Chencang Road, which is a bit detour, but relatively flat.)

Xiang Gong led the strikers to reach Qingniling North quickly, and immediately launched an offensive, intending to break through this dangerous place with one effort.

It's a pity that the heavens are not beautiful. Although the mountains are cold and cold, it is sunny; only the mountains are freezing and raining halfway. The climate in this place seems to be cursed by God, and there are few dry times throughout the year, which is very evil.

The army was on the hillside, and the army was crooked and slanted, and it seemed that the army had been crushed. Xiang Gong tried the mountain road by himself, and felt very strenuous, so he couldn't scold the soldiers for no reason. It is impossible to ride a horse, and it is very difficult to walk with a horse.

Things in the sky, ice particles mixed in the rain, did not fall too heavily, but they fell very slippery on the ground. More people stepped on the road and the road became muddy, with a layer of ice water and thin mud floating on it, solid hard soil underneath, and the road is a sloping ramp, slippery step by step, the taste is unspeakable.

Xiang Gong walked less than two miles, and asked a general who had been stationed in Guzhen all the year round: "When will this place be sunny?"

The general said: "Yes, sometimes it is sunny, there are ten days a month, no more than fifteen days at most. But usually the clouds are thick in the sky, especially in winter when it is cold, and the road is not dry after it has cleared, and it rains again. I In Guzhen for more than two years, I often sent scouts to spy on the movement of the Shu army, and rarely encountered when the road was dry...Summer might be better."

After listening to Xiang Gong, he thought to himself: I can't wait half a year until summer to use soldiers, right? When the weather is clear, the head feels better, the road is still difficult to walk.

He slipped so that the soles of his feet hurt, sweating profusely, and after thinking about it, he decided to overcome the difficulties and forcibly asked the soldiers to attack once... Just arrived at Qingniling, maybe he could still take advantage of the lack of preparation of the Shu army.

Xiang Gong straightened up and looked at the surrounding situation again. Most of the sergeants fell for an unknown number of times, and they were all in mud. In addition, the soldiers were exhausted just after the day of marching here.

After walking for a long time, I finally saw a line of defense on the mountainside. The Shu army digs ditches and builds a village on it, looking from a distance at Zhou's noisy army on the hillside. Xiang Gongzhu approached and watched in person with a wooden stick, and the general persuaded, "Be careful, general."

Xiang Gong ignored it and trudged for a while to see more clearly before stopping. I saw many drainage outlets between the trenches, a fence was built behind, and some simple grass and wood sheds were built. It seems very structured.

Xiang Gong thought that bows and arrows would be damaged when used in the rain, and the Shu army could use long-distance high-pitched shooting by hiding in a shed to avoid the rain. Because of the slope, the Shu army only needs to shoot dozens of steps away, and it can shoot more than a hundred steps... But Zhou Jun can't use the bow and crossbow in the rain, so he still has to be shot at a distance of more than a hundred steps; And the road is so difficult to walk, climbing more than a hundred steps in the mud, I am afraid that the bow and arrow will slowly collapse.

He took a look and felt that the odds of winning were small. He resisted the depression, gave up his plan to attack, and immediately ordered: "All those who followed are withdrawn, and today I will go down the mountain to rest."

...Xiang Gong had to send someone to inquire about the condition of the Baishui Road while waiting for Qingniling to clear.

Not long after, the scout returned to report that a section of the cliff path on Baishui Road had been destroyed and could not be passed through... In the past, Guo Shao used this road to raid the Shu army behind Qingniling. There was a lot of movement, which seemed to have caused a garrison in Qingniling. The generals of the Shu army paid attention.

Xiang Gong has no worries; he can only follow the road opened by these predecessors, otherwise he may get lost if he fails to get through. Now I have to try Qingniling first.

Fortunately, two days later, I learned that the sky on the mountain was clear, and Xianggong waited for the road to dry, because the news provided by the generals in Guzhen couldn't do it. Now people are asked to prepare fire, tung oil, cloth strips and other things, and once again lead the army to the mountains.

The combat effectiveness of the Shu army was not as good as that of the Zhou army, so Xiang Gong still wanted to try, feeling that those huts were a weakness. Before the fortifications, the soldiers were ordered to gather the army to prepare for war.

Zhou Jun barely reorganized into an army two hundred steps away. The swordsman in the front and the archer in the back slowly approached amid the sound of "dongdong" drums. The noise gradually rose in the mud, drums, shouts, and shouts resounded across the mountains. Unsurprisingly, Zhou Jun was still more than a hundred steps away and was covered by arrows and ballistas from above.

"Brothers, as long as you pass the Qingni Ridge, the road behind is easy! Let's take a bit of hardship now, let's go straight ahead!" Xiang Gong yelled behind the formation. The generals of various ministries were also yelling, and the flags were advancing while shaking.

"Ah!" There was a scream right in front, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, a **** with less armor at the back hit an arrow and fell into the mud and screamed. People were injured by arrows one after another, Zhou Jun moved more slowly; there was a slippery muddy road under his feet, and arrows were flying in front of his head. Everyone had no chance to fight back... The shooting distance was far away from the shooting range. Inside.

However, Zhou Junzhen soldiers still showed a relatively tough endurance, stupefied and advanced dozens of steps with arrows. At this moment, the generals in the army yelled: "Ignite..." Shao Qing banged the gong, and the generals roared: "Arrows! Arrows..."

Hearing a "crackling" chord, when looking up at Gong Gong, a swarm of rockets roared away like fireflies. Sure enough, the grass and wood sheds within the fortification fence were lit, and fires gradually appeared in many places, and the smoke above it was noisy.

"Swish swish..." A bunch of rockets flew away again, and Zhou Jun fired several rounds in a row. The fence is already full of flames.

But because it was sunny, those Shu troops were not in the shed, and at this time they were still hiding behind a barrier that was as high as half a person, shooting back with arrows. The two sides shot each other within fifty steps, and the battlefield was noisy.
