Chapter 452 Hetao Plain
Lingwu, also known as Lingzhou.
Liang Shi invaded Lingzhou several times and was defeated, which made him return without success several times. This time he took advantage of the Turks' large-scale move south and finally occupied Lingzhou, which had not succeeded many times.
Now the Liang army is basically stationed near Lingzhou.
"Your Majesty! The Tang army is here!" Liang Shidu's confidant hurriedly took the battle report and handed it over.
After taking over the military newspaper, Liang Shi did not look panic. It was mainly because over the years, he and the Tang Dynasty did not fight a few times a year, so there would be less.
However, every time they make small fuss, they basically come to grab something. The Tang army withdrew after robbing, and then the Liang army retaliated against the Tang Dynasty, and also withdrew after robbing.
The two sides have been going back and forth, and it has become a routine in recent years. Anyway, the Tang army's attack is like an agreement. After a while, you will fight back. Even if you have a deal, the 400,000 Turks will be destroyed. Because of the short time and the news of the closure have not been heard, Zhang Liang, who is in Xiaoguan, is not very clear about the entire battle, otherwise he would not have asked Li Yu that his troops are small and he is worried about failure.
Liang Shi was not too busy and said slowly: "Which Tang army sent here this time?"
The confidant said, "Your Majesty, this time Princess Pingyang brought 10,000 troops and horses to Lingwu."
"Princess Pingyang? Li Yuan's legitimate daughter who led the Detachment of Women?" Liang Shidu chewed slowly and murmured.
The confidant nodded and said, "Yes, it's this woman. It is said that she was the one who defeated the Turkic Turi Khan and Jie Li Khan the year before yesterday."
Liang Shi is not unfamiliar with Princess Pingyang. Their first confrontation was when the Detachment of Women shot Shibi Khan. His 30,000 troops were almost dragged into the abyss by the defeated Turks. Fortunately, he saw that the situation was not good at that time, so he evacuated early.
He knew exactly what was going on at that time, mainly because something strange happened. Shibi Khan was shot and killed. Princess Pingyang seized the opportunity at that time, which caused the Turks to be defeated. It was not because of how powerful the Detachment of Women were.
The confidant reminded: "Your Majesty only has 4,000 clothes in colorful clothes, and you have never seen the weapons in your hands. Do you think you should defeat the Tuli Khan and Jie Li Khan?"
"Didn't Tuli Khan and Jie Li Khan not admit this? Don't believe it if it came from the Tang Dynasty." Master Liang couldn't believe that the world had such sharp weapons.
Liang Shi thought about it for a while and ordered. "Since they dared to attack us 10,000 troops, I will immediately order all generals to gather troops and fight a war first to see the weapons of the Tang army, and see if it is so sharp."
Li Yu's first group of spies, Li Yu, asked them to go back, and the second group of spies were all cleaned up by the special forces sent out, so the spies in the Liang Division did not see those steel weapons at all.
Sitting in a convertible jeep driving on the Ningxia Plain by the Yellow River, Li Yu and several generals who came here for the first time were as shocked. The wind blew the grass and the cattle and sheep appeared, and the fertile field was thousands of miles away.
Li Yu actually came to the Ningxia Plain, but that was in his previous life. However, at that time he was a wandering singer and came here to collect folk songs. One thousand and two hundred years later, the desertification here was already very serious, and yellow sand often floated around.
Unexpectedly, a thousand two hundred years ago, there were lakes everywhere, with many huge lakes scattered on the plains, with rippling waves and rippling green water. The Xitau Plain was originally in arid and semi-arid areas with sparse rainfall. Such a place would have been extremely unsuitable for farming and living, but here there are also the benefits of the Yellow River water diversion and irrigation and abundant groundwater resources, forming unique water conservancy conditions.
In addition, the terrain is flat and the soil is deep, which makes it easy to cultivate and plant, and there are excellent harvests, making it the south of the Yangtze River.
"There is Helan's foundation in the west, the Yellow River is natural danger in the east, and the desert is thousands of miles away from the territory, and the Longshan Mountains in the south. This is a land of heaven!" Li Yu looked at the rich Hetao Plain at this time and was filled with emotion.
Now here, the ecological protection is very good, and there is no trend of desertification.
The hundreds of miles of Helan Mountains are like a huge primitive jungle, and the Longshan Mountains are also densely forested. Due to the well-preserved trees, the soil erosion is very slight, and the Yellow River water is not that yellow. The Yellow River water flows through a vast wetland, making the plants here rich and the lakes numerous.
Moreover, there are 800 miles of Yellow River passing through the Xitao Plain, which makes it unique water transport conditions here. Whether it is Lingwu to Lanzhou, Liangzhou, or going north to the East Tao Plain, there are nearly 3,000 miles of Yellow River water transport conditions here.
This is a natural waterway hub.
The Xitao Plain is bounded by Qingtong Gorge, but is actually divided into two plains. At the same time, it is bounded by the Yellow River and can be divided into two areas: Hedong and Hexi.
During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Gaoping and Pugujin towns were set up here, and they were also set up here as professional pastures. According to historical records, there were millions of horses here during the peak period. You can imagine how prosperous this place was at that time.
During the Sui Dynasty, another 20,000 people were sent to build the Great Wall, starting from the east bank of the Lingwu Yellow River in the west and ending at the west bank of the Suide Yellow River in the east. It lasted for more than 700 miles. Relying on the Hengshan Mountains, a solid Great Wall defense line was established.
Here, Yang Yuanyuan and Xiao Qing know the most about historical allusions. Yang Yuanyuan has lived nearby for twenty years. They can tell the historical changes here for thousands of years.
Along the way, they visited the magnificent scenery of the Hetao Plain. The two of them explained the past that had happened here along the way, and a few girls laughed and laughed along the way.
Seeing them having fun leisurely, they didn’t look like they were going out to fight, but they seemed to go out to hunt.
"During the control of our Great Sui Dynasty, the Xitao Plain had a population of about 30,000 households. At that time, there were more than 500,000 acres of irrigation areas that led to the Yellow River ditches." Xiao Qing looked at the beautiful Hetao Plain and lamented: "This is not only the best pasture, but also the extremely fertile farmland, and there are also rich medicinal materials."
Xiao Qing said this, sighed, and said, "Now this place has become a place of war."
Li Yu looked at Xiao Qing and said, "Don't think too much. History has historical rules and will not change because of personal wishes."
After hearing this, Xiao Qing opened his mouth several times, trying to refute something. It was not too difficult to change history with his means. In the end, she did not say anything. She understood that a monk would generally not interfere in the affairs of the mortal world, otherwise all the causal relationship would be borne by him, which would not be a good thing for him.
"Xiao Qing, the Great Sui Dynasty has disappeared here, and under the wings of the master, it has developed better now. Why bother thinking about those memories?" Yang Yuanyuan said.
Xiao Qing rubbed his red eyes and smiled, "I understand, I'm thinking too much."
"Brother, this place is so beautiful! It is more beautiful than the Central Plains scenery and has a more exotic flavor." Li Feier shouted excitedly while sitting in the car.
Li Yu nodded and agreed: "If Fei'er likes this place, I think it would be better for our whole family to live here for a while. It's actually good to live a period of original life."
"Okay, I'll listen to my brother." Li Fei'er said happily: "The scenery here is so beautiful, why not sing a song by my brother!"
"Okay! OK! OK!" Several girls surrounded them happily.
"Okay, then I'll sing a song "My Motherland"." Li Yu waved his hand, and all kinds of vehicles stopped. With a wave of his hand, the piano and a large band appeared on the Ningxia Plain.
While waiting for the soldiers to gather to sing.
"Master, I will use the piano to accompaniment for you." Yang Yuanyuan volunteered.
The piano accompaniment of this song "My Motherland" seems a bit complicated, and the composition knowledge is applied more. Of course, for the powerful Yang Yuanyuan, it is not difficult to play it in full, because this is a song second only to the national anthem of the Empire. She often plays it and can play it at will to create magnificent effects.
The melodious sound of flute sounded. After waiting for a while, the thick and majestic piano resounded on the Hetao Plain.
"A big river has a wide wave, and the wind blows the fragrance of rice flowers on both sides. My family lives on the shore. I am used to listening to the ship's trumpet and watching the white sails on the boat."
Li Yu's loud and full voice was not without warmth. Singing this song was like lifting weight. It seemed that when he sang this song, he even had an extremely beautiful picture. It gave people the feeling that he drew a stroke in front of everyone, a big river, a wave, a wide, a wind, a rice flower, a fragrance, and both sides of the shore.
Li Yu's words, even every word, are particularly precisely bitten, and it seems to bring his own unique feelings for the Dragon and Phoenix Empire.
The Detachment of Women listened to this majestic song, and his blood was boiling. The soldiers of the Empire were all watching their king at this time, ready to cooperate with the chorus.
Four thousand imperial soldiers sang in unison with Li Yu's singing, and a huge chorus rang out throughout the Hetao Plain.
"The wind blows the fragrance of rice flowers on both sides of the shore, and my family lives on the shore..."
This is not the first time that a few girls have performed this song, but they have never heard of thousands of people and the songs sung by Li Yu himself. Women are all emotional. When they hear the shocking songs, their tears can't help but shed.
It was tears of excitement.
For a few women, listening to this song, you can feel the different charms of Li Yu leading the imperial soldiers to perform this song, and the feeling it brings to them is really shocking. Through their singing, they can feel the vigorous love in their hearts, or fraternity, the mountains and rivers of the empire, flowers and plants, birds and fish.
After the chorus, Li Yu sang solo again, although the lyrics and melody were the same as the previous chorus.
"The girl is like a flower, and the young man is so broad-minded..."
Here, the piano sound and the band are just accompaniment, and the focus is on Li Yu's clear and loud voice. When he was in the solo, his treatment of all aspects of tone was perfect, allowing everyone to hear the sound of shocking the soul and soul.
"This is a beautiful motherland, the place where I grew up..."
Then there was the chorus part, and the piano sounds made Li Yu and the imperial soldiers both equally. Of course, the lyrics were still sung by Li Yu, passionate and passionate.
All the girls sang along with the chorus, and they were also part of the empire, and in the end the girls were sobbing excitedly.
Changsun Wuji was amazed when he saw this scene. It was just a song. After listening to it, he had the urge to fight the enemy bravely. He used the song to educate the people and gave him new ideas.
