Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The roads were muddy and difficult to navigate, and Zhou's generals were exhausted and unable to form strong offensive pressure. The two sides fought with bows and arrows dozens of steps away, and large areas of Zhou's soldiers on the hillside gradually collapsed. Copy this address Browse%77%77%77%2E%62%69%71%69%2E%6D%65

Looking at the heavy smoke after the fortifications above and the roaring soldiers around him, Xiang Gong couldn't rebuke the soldiers. Everyone is not a god, and he can't blame people for poor combat 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 Shizhe Dehan 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 Gong said: "There are no famous generals, but talents are still there. This man digs trenches and sets fences carefully without greed, tactics are dull, but very pragmatic; the subordinates can't see anything extraordinary, but the military discipline is quite strict. Today, if we meet someone with a mere appearance, and seize the opportunity to take the Qingni Ling in one go, we 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 large camp in the north of Qingniling, waiting for the remaining army to come from two directions one after another. Not long afterwards, in the PLA, I met Li Gu, a former battalion supervisor who had just arrived in Qingniling. Li Gu supervised the delivery of the first batch of grain and grass materials from various states and counties.

So Xiang Gong and the generals received Li Gu together, and the group had a talk in the army's big account.

Xiang Gong looked at a gray-haired general, Wang Tingyi, Wang Jing’s eldest son... He was older than Xiang Gong and seemed to be at least fifty or so, but Xiang Gong first met Wang Jing and used to be a brother and brother. Fight side by side; if you talk about the relationship politely, Wang Tingyi should be called Uncle Xiang Gong.

This is a bit embarrassing. Xiang Gong is only forty-five years old and very young, so he called: "General Wang, is Wang Shizhong (Wang Jing) in good health?"

"My father is sixty-eight years old, and he is still tough, but he can't bear the long journey, so the Qinzhou army will come to serve him." Wang Tingyi said.

Xiang Gong nodded and said, "Wang Lao Jieshuai was old and strong, but now that I mention it, I have realized that Lao Jieshuai is the old age." He pondered for a moment and said, "The Wang family had been in Fengxiang for many years and guarded the Qin and Feng prefectures for three years. There are a lot of 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 principles of going to Hanzhong."

Wang Tingyi stood up and said, "The last general will lead the order."

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 they can attack one by one.

Otherwise, as anxious for 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 the roads of Qingniling are difficult to navigate, the Shu army has no big city to rely on. We have to attack a mountain so slowly, when can we get down to Hanzhong? Let the general know that we must transport from the Shu road. The grain transport mountain is high and the road is far away. If the 20,000 army stays in this barren countryside for too long, the cost is huge, I can't explain it to the court."

Li Gu is the prime minister and the supervising army; Xiang Gong's expression is good, but there is no attack. He said solemnly: "Qingniling has a lot 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 to the court in person 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 forward and saying: "Send someone to the front to pick up all the arrows on the slope, wash and dry. The inhabited straw shed was rebuilt at the back, away from the fortifications."

The generals left.

The general of the Shu army who gave orders was called Hou Mao, but people generally called him a "monkey" because of his short stature and his unfortunate surname. The 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 trekked ahead and patrolled, 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 civilians bend down and slowly pull the cart, and there are people behind it. A four-wheeled cart was filled with wood, and unfortunately got stuck in a mud pit. In front of him, a sludge-covered privateer crawled on the ground and pulled hard. The hemp rope was pulled deeply into the clothes on his shoulders. Several people were behind. Step forward to help push.

"One or two, get up! One or two, get up..." the man with a Hanzhong accent yelled. People living in the high mountains are still very hard-working.

As soon as Hou Mao reached the top of the mountain, a crowd of people bent down and said, "General Hou..."

"General He Xihou won the first battle, and he will return to'Rongcheng' tomorrow, only to be praised by Fengchi." A civil official said politely. Today everyone looked at "monkey" a little differently.

Hou Mao's reaction was not enthusiastic, 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 people and things to reinforce Qingniling!"

The relative was a full head taller than the "monkey", and wondered: "We won the battle, but we are in a hurry without asking for credit?"

Hou Mao said: "The Shu army was able to block the Zhou army's first battle only because it relied on geographical advantages; this road 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 carry this point. Can't stay."

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 into Shu in the post-Tang Dynasty.

"Why don't the general guard Xingzhou City?" a junior relative reminded.

Hou Mao snorted: "You have to be like others scolded. Shu people are surrounded by mountains and have no knowledge? Hanzhong's Chengjian is better than Hebei and Hedong towns? It is better than Nantang State Shouzhou City. It depends on Zhou. Will the generals "make a military order to Xingzhou in January"?"

He turned his head and said to his staff: "We have clearly written our situation. The Shu army is completely inferior to the Zhou army. The decisive battle will be defeated!"

The aides said: "I'm afraid that the Shannan Xidao Military Mansion is unhappy."

"I will 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. Shou. If you don't defend the city, you will consume it hard, and see who can consume it. The rich and common people of Shu are no worse than the Zhou Dynasty.

But if Yicheng fought decisively, relying on the strength of the soldiers, the Shu army faced the Zhou army, who had been fighting in the north and south, with its own short-term strength. "

Several people had to say together: "But let General Hou be the master." Hou Mao had no prestige in the army, this time he won a game, and the generals approved it for a while.

There was still mud on Qingni Ridge, and everyone seemed to be rolling in the mud and struggling to survive.

...

But Chengdu is in a different situation, the city of Rongcheng, the city of Huadu, is not well-known.

On the fertile and moist plains, the harvested paddy fields are white, and even in the winter, the fields are full of green vegetables. Decades of Taiping, the vast western plains and the rich materials from the hills and mountains all over the country have been transported to Chengdu, making the capital of the Kingdom 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 wafting on the streets in winter, making people salivate.

The imperial palace is decorated with carved jade columns and brightly painted buildings. 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 a completely different scene than the northern Tokyo .

But the atmosphere is not so good this time.

The northwestern Zhoujun two roads went south, the movement was too loud, and 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; however, 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, and Mrs. Huarui Fei seized the opportunity and once again persuaded him: "Your Majesty should choose talents and reward officers for a long-term solution."

Meng Chang could still hear Mrs. Huarui's words while he was worried, and for a while, he became more humble, and asked: "How do I choose the best, how do I know who is loyal and who is the traitor?"

Fei’s mouthful of Chengdu Shu accent is not crisp, but it has a mid-tone charm: "Your Majesty spends less time with those women and alchemists, and more meetings with ministers of civil and military affairs. Over time, you can see who is what. That kind of person."

"It is reasonable~www.readwn.com~ Meng Chang nodded solemnly, "How to reward the soldiers? "

Fei 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 deflected from the civil jesters to the soldiers and soldiers. Observing your majesty’s heart naturally takes your life. His concubines dare to say that the important royal officials have been in Shu for decades. Your majesty benevolent rule, and the people of Shu long for it; your majesty does not need to be partial, and can delegate some powers to the competent sages in central Shu."

Meng Chang accepted them all and nodded. 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 was very enthusiastic at this time, and he was full of ambition: "Tomorrow, I will go to court, govern the country with my heart, and strive to govern!"

(I went on a blind date in the last two days. Because the girl I met was very good, I was a little bit attentive and took a lot of time. I will find time to make up for what I owe. There are 18 chapters in total. Please forgive me.)
