Da Wei Chun

Chapter 476
Li Yanqing hastily said, "One of the army should supply food and grass. I have prepared enough food for three days and three thousand civilians. I can transport it to Dacheng at the latest tomorrow night. Brother, don't worry..."

"Then thank you, brother Yanqing! You two, please leave now..."

"Chengzhi take care!"

The two brothers returned the salute, watched Li Chengzhi go down the city, and went north with a hundred guards.

Hearing another drumbeat, the army stationed outside Wuyuan City started slowly.People are still wearing leather robes, while horses are wrapped in white felt.It moved forward like a snow tide.

"Three horses in one ride? It looks like the battle is huge, but in terms of armored soldiers, I'm afraid it's less than three thousand? Ninth brother, Li Chengzhi plans to rely on these three thousand armored cavalry to fight Du Lun's troops?"

"You said that they are all soldiers, why didn't you recognize that these are the two battalions of tiger cavalry I brought with me three days ago?"

"Even if they are all tiger cavalry, if you want to defeat the Rouran cavalry with one enemy and three, it will be very difficult!"

"Don't worry, Li Chengzhi is not reckless!"

Li Shenjun pondered, "Yesterday afternoon, there was a letter from the town government, indicating that the town has been settled. And there is Luo Jian's seal, which also shows that he has arrived in Woye.

As the governor of the three towns, it is impossible for Luo Jian not to bring a single soldier, right?Presumably they were all sent to Li Chengzhi, but I don't know where he placed them as a backup!From this point of view, since he dared to divide his troops, he must be confident! "

Li Yanqing's pupils shrank: that's right, why did you forget to ask Li Chengzhi how the chaos in the town was put down?

Just relying on those two battalions of tiger cavalry, there is no need to hit a tree.

No matter how you think about it, it's incredible...

……

The spring breeze is expected to be chilly and chilly.

Although it's already the beginning of spring, the Northland is the Northland after all. As the sun shifts, the temperature drops sharply, and it's cold for a while.As the horses galloped, the slightest bit of cold wind penetrated into the collar, and Li Chengzhi couldn't stop his excitement.

He bent down slightly, reached out and took off the leather robe from under the horse's belly, and put it on his body.

Of course the horses don't have to worry, even the spare horses are wrapped in felt.But the corresponding marching speed was also much slower, from dawn to night it was less than [-] li.

For cavalry, let's ride three horses, this speed is already very slow.

After rushing for about an hour, the army marched to a tributary of the Yellow River.There is a guide accompanying him, and after identification, it is said that it is less than forty miles to Dacheng County.

To prevent the horses from losing their strength, and the sun has set, the visibility is very low. If you want to go in a hurry, you must turn on the lights.Therefore, Li Chengzhi ordered the army to rest for a while.

People have already eaten it, so it is naturally the dried meat and fried rice that they gnaw on the horse's back.The problem with the horses was not too big. The first time they were ordered to stay in the camp for a while, the cavalry put on material pockets for the war horses and the backup riders.

The temperature has been very high in the past two days, and there is already water flowing in the river during the day.Even at night, the ice is not very thick, and it can be broken with two or three hammers.So don't worry about no place to drink horses.

The camp was busy but not chaotic.

Li Rui and Li Cong drove themselves, Li Chengzhi and Li Liang's mounts and prepared horses to the river to drink water.Li Liang found some dry firewood and set up a fire to heat milk for Li Chengzhi.

Li Chengzhi was sitting on a big rock chewing jerky, looking at the wolf mountain like a bottle of monster, as if in a trance.

The bright moon in Qin Dynasty and the pass in Han Dynasty, don't teach Huma to go to Yinshan Mountain!
This is Yinshan Mountain, and the western section got its name because it looks like a giant wolf.

It starts from Bigan City in the west (the West Surrendered City among the three surrendered cities in Tang Dynasty, at the Langshan Pass, more than a hundred miles away from Gaoque Pass), and ends in the east at Shimenzhan in the north of Huaishuo Town (one of the pass cities in Han Dynasty, which was built to guard against the Huns) built), nearly a thousand miles long.The narrow part is about a hundred miles, and the wide part is more than 200 miles.

Since the Zhou Dynasty, Yinshan has become one of the lines of defense against the northern nomads.Since the time of King Zhao Wuling, through the Qin and Han Dynasties, a Great Wall of more than [-] li was built along Yinshan Mountain, and the western section of Langshan Mountain turned a corner.

Since then, successive dynasties have used this as a boundary to resist the Hu people.Until Song...

In addition to the Yinshan Mountain as a natural barrier, this place is also an excellent place to raise horses. It is the only one in the Wei Dynasty, which is unparalleled.

Yuan Hong destroyed the farmland and built a new Heyang Racecourse, of course it doesn't count, and it can't be compared.In contrast, the area of ​​the Hexi Racecourse is less than one percent of the Hetao.But can only one Hexi racecourse be able to raise nearly a million horses? What about here?
In addition to raising horses, Hetao is also a good place for grain production.

The saying that the Yellow River is full of harm and only rich is not a lie.Being called one of the three major irrigation areas in the country by later generations is not just out of the air.

Only close to the Yellow River, and the river course is gentle, Li Chengzhi is sure to create at least 600 million mu of irrigated fields in Hetao.

This is a lacustrine plain that has been silted up for countless years. It can be seen how fertile the land is?
Three acres is more than enough to raise one cub...

Moreover, minerals are also extremely rich. If you want coal, you have coal, if you want iron, you have iron, and if you want copper, you have copper.Especially coal, many of which are buried in extremely shallow layers and can be mined in the open pit, so much so that Li Chengzhi will live three more lives, and the people of the whole country will not be able to use it up...

The more Li Chengzhi thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.

He suddenly felt that Xihai, which he had worked so hard to occupy, suddenly became unsatisfactory.

It's a pity that there are still too few Dingkou in Xihai, and there are even fewer soldiers from the Li clan.If it weren't for a big change and a lot of luck, occupying the Hetao is undoubtedly a dream.

Pity……

There was a burst of noise outside the camp, Li Chengzhi came back to his senses, and frowned slightly.

Li Liang was about to welcome him out, but when he saw Yuan Qiao running towards him, he stopped again.

"Commander, when the army was stationed, a dozen or so riders came from the east bank, drove hundreds of cattle and sheep, and said they wanted to work hard..."

Since yesterday's report of "invading softly, ordering all garrisons and gates to gather the townspeople and strictly guard against death" spread to the counties, the townspeople scattered outside the county towns flocked to rush to the county towns and gates. move.

Among them, most of them are herdsmen scattered in the south of Yinshan Mountain, and the Hu people account for most of them.

Therefore, as the army travels along the way, from time to time, they will encounter tribes whose families have relocated.And since the dawn of the army to this time, after hearing that it was the army going north to meet the enemy, the herdsmen who took the initiative to drive their cattle and sheep to work in the army, this is already the fifth wave.

But apart from Lahesa, the army didn't even have time to get off their horses and boil hot water to drink. How could they have time to kill cattle and sheep?
Li Chengzhi said without hesitation: "Refused!"

Yuan Qiao hesitated for a while, and then said: "The visitor said: His son Po Luo Khan is the commander of the personal guard under the governor of Yuandu, and he is the third chief of the Wuyuan County (the leader of the Hu nationality recognized by the court, an unofficial official position, but It can be hereditary), there are thousands of tents led by the people, and more than a thousand clan soldiers can be gathered to help the commander..."

Broken man?
This surname is rare, and it should be a descendant of the Huns, but why does it sound so familiar?

Li Chengzhi thought for a while, and his heart moved: Poor Khan Baling?
No wonder it's so familiar?
It was this dilapidated Khan tribe, led by the leader of the tribe, Baling, who fired the first shot of the uprising in the six towns.

Calculating his age, how old should Baling be? He is still a child.Moreover, there is only one tribe with the surname of Poluohan at the foot of the Yin Mountain, and Baling is not far away if you want to come.

Do you want to see me?
Li Chengzhi laughed a little, thought for a while, and shook his head again.

If he met such a character when he first traveled, Li Chengzhi might meet him.

But now, especially since Yuan Ke's death, Li Chengzhi's mind has faded a lot.

Yuan Ke could have lived another five or six years, but if he said he would die, it can be seen that history has long been changed beyond recognition.

As for those thunderous characters?

No one is born to be a hero, only the times make heroes.

If there is no time and situation, what kind of waves can the rebel leaders of the six towns, such as Poluo Khan Baling, Xian Yu Xiuli, Mo Zhe Dati, Hu Chen, Du Luozhou, and Ge Rong, rise up at the right time?

For example, Er Zhurong, He Bayue, Gao Huan, Yu Wentai, etc., who gradually became powerful due to their contribution to the rebellion against the Six Towns, and eventually won the world, if they lost their time, how much luck would they have left?
Li Chengzhi has no habit of collecting stamps, otherwise he would have done it long ago.

For example, Yuwen Gong, the father of Yu Wentai, and Dugu Ku, the father of Dugu Xin, are all chiefs of the people under Luo Jian's rule. If Li Chengzhi wants to see him, he can be summoned with a warrant.I can even touch the heads of these two brats who may still be naked: this kid will definitely be extraordinary in the future...

Gao Huan is not hard to find. He has lived in Huaishuo Town since his grandfather.

Although Gao Huan was a poor boy at this time, he was still cheating and cheating everywhere, but after all, his ancestors were rich, and he was not an unknown person.

If you have the heart, if you spend a little more effort, you might be able to find Li Tang's ancestors.

But what's the use?

The original trajectory had already been slapped beyond recognition by this sudden butterfly.These heroes in history who can capture the moon in the nine heavens and catch turtles in the five oceans have long been different...

Li Chengzhi waved his hand in dismay, and confessed: "I also refused, and ordered the dilapidated Han tribe to cross the river overnight and move to Wuyuan County. Don't stay in the border of Dacheng County, lest you suddenly encounter Rouran cavalry..."

"promise!"

Yuan Qiao responded, turned around and left to deliver the order.

Not long after, I heard a burst of shouting and neighing of horses, and gradually headed east, presumably the leader of the shabby Khan had been sent away.

The milk was already hot, and it was slightly bitter because of the addition of raw tea leaves, but Li Chengzhi drank it with relish.

But after a few sips, Yuan Qiao left and returned, followed by a general, looking very unfamiliar.

"Marshal, Sima sent his cavalry to report!"

Saying the report, Yuan Qiao handed over a leather bag that looked like an envelope, and Yang Jun's letter was still hot on the seal.

Sima is Yang Jun.

When the troops were dispatched from Woye, Li Chengzhi first ordered Yuan Jie to lead two battalions of town troops, Jingqi, as the vanguard to take a step ahead.He led Huben and Huqiju as the Chinese army.Yang Jun took the remaining [-] Woye Town Army as the rear army.

But Li Chengzhi didn't let the two of them go straight to Wuyuan, but deliberately moved [-] miles east to west, in case Hu Qi suddenly entered the pass, so that he could form a formation to meet him.

That's why Li Shenjun and Li Yanqing didn't see Yang Jun and Yuan Zhi...

Li Chengzhi put down the copper cup, and opened the leather seal in twos and twos.

Glancing at the lantern, I realized that it was not Yang Jun's report, but a document sent by Luo Jian.It should be that the messenger sent it to Yang Jun first, and Yang Jun sent a fast horse to pass it on.

The letter was very long, and it took three full pages, but it basically said three things:
"Ten days ago, Lu Shikui led his troops to patrol the border, and passed through the chicken and deer. There was no news. Someone and His Highness (Yuan Yi) guessed that Lu Shikui should be ordered by Lu Yan to go to Gaoque or Jinhao to meet Du Lun. department……

But there are only more than [-] armored cavalry in the lead.In addition, Gaoque and Jinhao each have a battalion of guards, more than [-] combined, and only [-] horses, which should not be enough to cause trouble..."

"There was no chaos in Linrong, Linhe, and Jiluguan. A certain person sent his confidants yesterday to replace the guards of Jilu and other pass cities. He also sent envoys and supervisors to Linrong and other three counties... Queen of the county. The road is safe..."

"In addition, a certain has already dispatched [-] soldiers and over [-] vehicles from Wuchuan and Huaishuo. He has already set off when he sent a fast horse to deliver the letter. He can reach Wuyuan in at most two days. And he has sent orders to all counties, at most three to five days. , you can raise [-] troops to help the county..."

"Ha ha……"

Li Chengzhi laughed out loud.

It can't be called sending charcoal in the snow, but at least it can be regarded as icing on the cake.

Luo Jian's speed was not uncommon, he gathered [-] infantry and the food and grass needed in just two days.

And in another three to four days, an army of [-] can be marched northward.

And this is the second thing. What makes Li Chengzhi most happy is that Linhe, Sanfeng and Jiluguan have been fixed, and he no longer has to worry about being attacked by enemies.

It was also unexpected that Lu Yan's younger brother Lu Shikui was not in the Gaoque garrison city, but ran to Jinhao Pass hundreds of miles away.

Otherwise, Luo Jian would never be able to pacify the Gaoque garrison so easily...

Although Li Chengzhi doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, he still believes in luck.So far, he's been lucky.

Just like approaching the Six Towns, the Six Towns suddenly changed.

And at this time, Du Lun's department waited for two days without entering the customs?

As if waiting for him...

"Where did Yang Sima's rear army go?"

"It was the beginning of the unitary hour when the subordinates left the camp, and the rear army was nearly [-] miles west of Wuyuan County. It has been an hour by now, and they should be [-] miles north of Wuyuan County..."

Neither too close nor too far away, only a few miles away from the Chinese army.

Yang Jun, on the other hand, carried out his military orders meticulously.

The former army who wanted to come to Yuanzhi was at most twenty miles away from Dacheng County.

However, Jia Bayun and Hu Lujin, who were investigating at Yujinhao Pass, have not yet reported urgently, and it seems that Rouran's army has not yet entered the pass.

Haven't entered customs at least an hour ago.Looks like I can sleep soundly tonight...

Li Chengzhi put the letter into his leather bag, and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Qiao, send an order to each brigade: start camp after one word (5 minutes). And send an order to Yuan Zhen, if there is no urgent report from the sentry after Dacheng, the whole army Camping in the city..."

"Yes!"

Yuan Qiao responded urgently and left quickly.

After a while, I heard a drum beating from the front battalion, and the army moved again.

The two thousand Chinese army was divided into four brigades, which were in the shape of "Qi", guarding Li Chengzhi's commander-in-chief in the middle, and marched towards Dacheng County.

It's already night, but there is a straight road from Woye to Jinhaoguan, which is extremely flat, so the marching speed of the army is not much slower than in the daytime.

In just an hour, Li Chengzhi was able to see the big lantern hanging on the tower.If you count the distance, it should be less than two miles.

But the strange thing is that Yuan Qiao has clearly ordered the whole army to camp in the city, but the lights outside the city are still densely packed like dragons.It looked like he hadn't entered the city.

Could something have happened?

Just as he was thinking about it, a loud shout came from a distance: "Commander, the Jinyang man sent a horse to report that he had received an urgent report from the brigade commander Hulu. Half an hour ago, Jinhao turned off the lights suddenly. Dasheng, it seems that Rouran's army is going to set up camp and enter the pass..."
