115 The World of Chess
Yanzhi Mountain is also called "Roll Mountain", located in the east of Diodan County, Zhangye. It is said that because there is a kind of red and blue grass growing on the mountain, which can be used as dyes. After mixing with oil, it can be used as rouge, so it is called Roll Mountain.
In the spring of the second year of Yuanshou, Emperor Wu ordered Huo Cavalry to lead 10,000 cavalry out of Longxi to attack the Xiongnu Youxian King's troops. He defeated the five kingdoms of the Xiongnu for six days. He also crossed Yanzhi Mountain for more than a thousand miles and fought with the Xiongnu at the foot of Gaolan Mountain. He annihilated nearly 9,000 enemies, killed the Xiongnu King Luhou and the King of Zhelan, captured Prince Hunxie and Prime Minister, and many commanders.
In the summer of the same year, Huo Cavalry led tens of thousands of elite cavalry, left Beidi County, lived in Yanze, and fought fiercely with the Huns at the foot of the Qilian Mountains. He annihilated more than 30,000 enemies, captured five Huns, the Queen Mother, the Shanyu Yan clan, prince, prime minister, general, etc., subdued the Huns Hunxie King and their 40,000 troops, occupied the entire Hexi Corridor, and opened up the westward passage for the exchanges between the Central Plains and the Western Regions. Since then, Yanzhi Mountain has become a symbol of victory and has been recorded in history.
Later, Emperor Yang of Sui visited Yanzhishan and held the "Wanguo Expo", which convened envoys of 27 countries and wrote the famous long poem "Drinking Horses and Great Wall Cave". It made Yanzhishan the earliest birthplace of the "World Expo" and became famous all over the world. That's right, the World Expo originated in the Sui Dynasty.
Following Tufa Xianbei, he entered Longxi, went to Hexi Corridor, and plundered caravans. Most of the beacon towers along the way were destroyed.
Tufa Xianbei was lightly riding and fast horses, traveling like the wind. Such as the army of Zhangye vassal states, and the soldiers stationed by various counties could not catch up with them. All the corridors had to strictly guard the checkpoints to wait for reinforcements. Or wait for all the Tufa Xianbei to retreat and rescue the siege by themselves. For several months, the war was still rampant.
With the participation of Taipingdao, many incredible events have become possible.
For example, the Rile City Bud, built on the Great Wall, was as solid as a soup, but fell one day. It was rushed to the gate of the Tufa Xianbei. Now I think it must be that the Taiping Road among the defenders was used as an internal force, opened the fort at night, let the Xianbei enter, and then killed all the defenders and burned the city. The evidence was annihilated.
As the saying goes, guard against day and night, it is difficult to guard against thieves at home.
Taiping Dao is for one's own selfishness and ignores the national justice. Can it be called a "traitor"?
Liu Bei's face turned pale as he walked past the burned Guanyi.
Tufa Xianbei occupied the Hexi Corridor, cut off the roads, and involved the troops of the four Hexi counties. Once the East Qiang is in chaos, Chang'an will have no time to look east. In Liu Bei's view, the leader is not just for money. If he can form a good fortune in the Qiang and Hu, he will be able to seize the capital of the three auxiliary capitals and cut off reinforcements in the western part of Luoyang. The east-west attack is one step closer to success.
Moreover, Chang'an is the current Han capital, and the former Han capital. It is also very suitable to be called emperor here.
What Liu Bei thought was to drive Taiping Road out of Xiliang and Sanfu in one fell swoop. Compared with the various Kanto prefectures and counties everywhere in Taiping Road, Zhang Jiaozhu was not very deep in Guansi. Otherwise, he would not have used the power of Xianbei and Dongqiang.
Ma Yuanyi said, "The unmatched loneliness of the leader will not last long."
But Liu Bei said, "I never thought that one day I would be able to play against the leader."
Maybe this day is really coming.
And Liu Bei chose the third servant of Xiliang to make the move.
Huang Gai once advised Liu Bei: "If you use the people of the six counties of Jiangdong, you can be a million people in China." If the six counties of Jiangdong can be used by me, you can compete with the million people in the Central Plains.
This sentence also applies to the current Sanfu Xiliang. As long as you completely pacify the Eastern Qiang, Sanfu is the place where Longxing is. It should be noted that since the Han Dynasty, the Qiang people who have been constantly moving to the Sanfu Capital Capital have reproductive and residing for two hundred years, and now there are no less than one million people.
The Prime Minister made several northern expeditions and six out of Qishan. It’s not unreasonable.
Two days later, the silk convoy arrived in Zhangye Doudan County.
Yanzhi Mountain is about 85 miles long from east to west and about 50 miles wide from north to south. The main peak Baihua Ridge is towering into the clouds. The city of Doudan County is standing in the Yanzhi Valley and then heading west to the throat.
At dusk, the convoy camped in an abandoned beacon.
Tomorrow you will reach Doudan County. Enter the city to replenish supplies and rest, and you will be a hundred times safer than outside the city. The caravans are smiling happily. They are closer to Dunhuang every day. They will be far away from danger every day. Success is about to come, and you will rise up.
The scouts who went to explore the way returned one after another.
Liu Bei's camp.
This trip was led by Shi Huan himself to investigate the situation at the foot of Yanzhi Mountain.
The Huns had been in Hexi for 56 years. The surrounding area of Yanzhi Mountain was the main pastoral area. Dacaotan, Hanyang (Damaying), was an excellent natural pasture. In order to make the Hun royal family, the ministers and their families live in peace, they chose a site to build a city in Yanzhi Valley. The original city was built on the mountain, with stones, houses stacked with tents, and water was passed through the walls and into the city for drinking. Surrounded by mountains, pine and cypress inside and outside, cypresses and flowers were in full bloom, and the scenery was picturesque. The Huns were driven westward, and Emperor Wu moved to Hanmin to guard the Han people. Dan was deleted and established the county, and the county was set up in the ancient city of the Huns.
After many days of follow, I believe the bald Xianbei must have been impatient.
Once the signal is emitted, the Xianbei will take action before the convoy enters the Dedan County. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it.
Since Shi Huan and others had determined that the road ahead was safe. At night, Liu Bei asked the wealthy merchants in Maoling to lead the merchants to travel quietly at night and head to Didan County. The remaining hundreds of vehicles were all military vehicles in Linxiang institution disguised as silk trucks.
The silk caravan traveled day and night all the way. The cinnabar in the bamboo tube was also scattered along the way. It was no different from before. Even though Ma Yuanyi and other members of the group were killed, the Tufa Xianbei who followed the way was unaware of it.
After the caravan took advantage of the night to protect him, he left first. Liu Bei then started to arrange the arrangements.
The car quickly formed a military camp in the courtyard, and the dragon and tiger cavalry under his command were covered with armor and waiting for the sword. Seeing that the sky was white, Shi Huan threw out the flying dragon claws and climbed to the top of the fort. He lit the fuse, opened the bow and shot the sound arrow into the air.
Bang--
Fireworks are in full bloom.
In a moment, the sound of horse hooves like tides sounded from all directions.
Qi Dynasty gathered in beacons.
Liu Bei, standing on the top of the beacon tower, watched the Xianbei rider rushed out of the horizon, rode his horse, pulled out sharp arrows, and pointed directly at the beacon camp. He couldn't help but feel a little joy of meeting old friends.
Compared to the well-equipped Xianbei King Cavalry under Baitan City, the bald Xianbei in front of them is more like a barbarian who falls into a barbarian. Without the nourishment of civilization, they are rapidly degenerating into the wilderness.
The fort door is open.
The Xianbei knight in front of the sudden was undoubtedly there. He drew his sword in his hand and crashed into it.
He rushed to the silent camp and rolled his tongue and roared: "If you surrender, you will not kill them, kneel down and avoid death!"
"If you surrender, you will not kill them, you will kneel down and avoid death-"
More and more Xianbei thunder cavalry poured in.
After a moment, when the echoes were gone, I heard that someone suddenly burped in the silent camp.
But I saw a man in an embroidered clothes, eight feet long, with a bee-waisted and ape's arms. He grabbed a knife with one hand and a flag with the other hand. A wine gourd hung around his waist and walked out of the beacon castle.
The Xianbei knight was about to scold him. When he saw the flag clearly, his whole body was stiff.
The one that holds up the long flag with flame horns is clearly the red deer-headed rod of the Great Shanyu!
"Who are you!" Then a hundred-member general asked, waved his whip and asked.
Chapter completed!
