16. South Map of Longyou Mountain
When they saw the soldiers of Shannan who were all gestured, they all held the handles and exposed their blades. The cold light flashed behind the obstacles. The prostitutes in front of the obstacles all changed their colors and hugged the wine pots, and the dice were trembling.
At this time, the horn sounded, and Wu Xianfu heard the sound and looked down from the altar. He saw thousands of white grass army soldiers listed on the school ground. Gao Gu and Cai Fengyuan, two military generals, were trained in iron armor and stood on the front of the formation. They looked at Shannan soldiers on the field with murderous aura. They couldn't help but feel a little scared, but in a blink of an eye, they cheered themselves up: immediately draw their swords to intimidate and question the white-faced scholar, and they don't have to be too out of line.
At this time, the two protagonists, Gao Yue and Jia Dan, were in a warm conversation, and they were still unaware of the changes in the surrounding atmosphere.
Because both of them talked about their favorite hobbies: maps.
Gao Yue immediately asked about the mountains and rivers of Liangzhou. Jia Dan answered one by one, and then Jia Dan also realized that Gao Yue was familiar with this - after all, he was half of Duan Xiushi's disciple, so the two felt that their relationship was closer.
So Jia Dan asked the secretary to bring the scroll, saying that this was my hard work since I was in Shannan. He asked the official in the mansion to copy it, hoping that the young master Yin Huicun would be the first to be the first to be in charge.
Gao Yue looked at the head of the title and said "Longyou Mountain South Picture". After pulling it open, he saw that the picture was strictly drawn according to the regulations of "a hundred miles inch" (approximately 1:1800,000 inches). The entire Shannan West Road starts from Wuguan Road in the east and goes to Hehuang in Longyou. The main roads, small paths, peaks, passes, and tributaries are everywhere. The small regular notes of Yu Shinan style were used on the side, and I couldn't help but be moved and surprised.
"Mr. Jia can give this picture to Yue, so you can worry-free on the way to Jinji!"
"Gao Young Yin!" After hearing this, Wu Xianfu was so embarrassed that the three states of Zhengcheng, Liang, Yang and Li entered the hands of the young man. He could no longer suppress his anger and immediately stood up and pressed his hand on the sword.
When Gao Yue saw this person's eyes wide open and his neck was full of blue veins, he couldn't help but ask Jia Dan, "Who is this?"
When Jia Dan saw Wu's appearance, he couldn't help but be frightened.
Before he could say anything, Wu Xianfu shouted: "The Chief Censor of the Censor, and Wu Xianfu, the military envoy of the West Road of Shannan, is the commander of the entire army, and he has to say something in public!"
Gao Yue was stunned for a moment, and before he could answer, Guo Zaizhen beside him stood up immediately when he saw that Wu Xianfu was not good, and he was furious. He also pulled out the horizontal knife to Wu Xianfu, and quickly said to Gao Yue: "If I have any accidents, take good care of my wife for me!"
At this moment, all the Shannan soldiers who served as banquets and ceremonies behind Zhazi also drew their swords and showed their blades. Many of the camp prostitutes were so scared that they exclaimed.
When Baicaojun saw that the situation was wrong, he shouted in unison!
"What's wrong?" Cui Yunshao, who heard a loud scream, picked up the door and asked nervously in the fragrant car on the sidelines.
At this moment, Wu Xianfu stared at Guo Zaizhen, "Who are you?"
"Guo Zaizhen, the Marquis of Yu in the Baicao Army."
Wu Xianfu was shocked: "Is it because of Guo Xiaofeng, who once killed the Uighurs in the streets of the east city of Chang'an?"
“That’s right.”
"It is also Guo Xiaofeng who has established the northern wall of Fengtian and defeated the rebel Dayunliang?"
"That is, the Holy Lord gave him the name Zaizhen after the war."
At this time, Gao Yue asked Wu Xianfu politely: "I wonder what Zhongcheng has to teach Yue?"
"No, nothing, nothing." Wu Xianfu immediately inserted the sword back into the sheath, with a harmless expression on his face.
"Xianfu, what are you doing!" Jia Dan was very unhappy.
Seeing that the Shannan warriors behind him were stunned, Wu Xianfu didn't know what to do next. Seeing that he was about to get out of Taiwan, he became wise and simply took off his sword and knelt halfway in front of Gao Yue. "I heard for a long time that Guo Zaizhen, the Marquis of Yu in the White Grass Army, gave him a unique sword!"
Gao Yue smiled, then reached out to take Wu's sword and handed it to Guo Zaizhen, and thanked him: "Don't tell me about the picture Jia Gong gave me, but there was a general who gave me a sword. It's really a tragic death for Yue."
"It should be, it should be." Wu Xianfu replied with a smile, and then hurriedly retreated to his seat.
Shannan soldiers behind the jail also put away their swords and their voices were closed.
The entire bell of worship immediately returned to peace.
Jia Dan was also happy now, and then he drank with Gao Yue. The two of them discussed the current situation in the western border and found a common language. It turned out that Jia Dan had been angry over the years that the country had fallen into the hands of the Western Federation, so he worked hard to prepare for the anti-counterattack technique. At this time, they all poured out to Gao Yue until they were drunk.
"The delivery matter..." Gao Yue remembered this.
"Oh! That's all about the clerks. We'll drink it again after entering the mansion immediately!" Jia Dan patted Gao Yue's shoulder, and his interest in drinking was not diminished.
The next day, the ships set sail on the Han River, carrying Jia Dan and his civil and military officials from the shogunate, heading towards Xiangyang.
Before leaving, Jia Dan grabbed Gao Yue's hands who came to see him off and instructed: "Xuanrun, Han Taichong's ship will be sent by himself soon. After transferring to the Han River, it will enter Xiangyang in our town. At that time, I will ask Wu Xianfu to send 3,000 troops to escort him to Shangjin Fort. This fort is located south of Shangzhou and is connected with Junzhou. There are countless battlements and rivers. Li Xilie's Huaixi thief lingering around. I also asked Gao Shaoyin to send troops here to receive the ship. Remember, the ship carrying the ship now is not just rice, but the order of my Tang. I also asked Gao Shaoyin to be very cautious and not to neglect his duties."
Then Jia Dan said: "There are mountain sheds on both sides of the Han River to Xiangyang. Although the river thieves are not as rampant as Huainan Road and Henan Road, we need to be wary of it."
At this time, Gao Yue saw Jia Dan's fully armed ship and immediately understood.
Gao Yue then asked Jia Dan: "Liu Changqing, the governor of Suizhou, was a close friend of Yue's last moments. He is now alone in the city of the city. He has struggled to support the sects of Huaixi thieves. He also asked the commander of Jie to Xiangyang to provide help."
Jia Dan said there is no problem at all, and I will definitely live up to you.
After seeing off Jia Dan, Gao Yue sat in the military mansion of Nanzheng City and unfolded Jia Dan's "Longyou Mountain South Map". After careful consideration and thought about it, he then gathered Liu Deshi, Gao Gu, Cai Fengyuan, Guo Zaizhen and other officials and said to them:
"The book says that the small ones are boats, and the big ones are boats. There are many bamboos and woods in Liangzhou. Small boats and rafts can be built in Xingyuan Prefecture to use them in Baoxiu Water to transport rice and grain from Shangjin."
"Will Shangjin from our Xingyuan, go by land or water?" Gao Gu asked.
Gao Yue was worried about this matter. He did not answer Gao Gu's question at first, but instead asked Liu Deshi with a sigh: "How many households are there in the three prefectures of Xingyuan Prefecture?"
Liu Deshi held the file and said that the household registrations of the three states were not as good as those of the Jianghuai. The three southeastern counties had a large population, with a total of 39,000 households. Although Shuzhou on the Jianghuai side was middle and lower, there were 33,000 households.
"It's better than when we were in Jingyuan at that time. There were 6,000 families with the army (including the city falling beside the foreign lands) and there were 6,000 or 7,000 households. The foundation of Xingyuan was still in the field of camps, and not only military camps were needed, but civil camps. As for the transfer of the Han River on Shangjin Road, we wanted not only boats, but boats." Gao Yue meant that although the heavy load was urgently needed, our Xingyuan Prefecture did not have the conditions to build a large number of ships.
But if it is from the mainland, the losses and dangers will be greater.
