Chapter 208: The First Battle of Yangwei Southwest (Part 1)

As February approaches, the cold winter is not visible to Wumeng Mountain. On the contrary, the mountains are green and beautiful. Some are high, so when the sky is clear, clouds are actually rising. The mountains on both sides of Changcao Ridge are the same. However, the clouds are not like clouds, and they have been reduced to fog. They circling and floating on the top of the mountain one by one.

The shadow of the mountain pressed over, and Changcaoling was shrouded in a dull area. There were stone villages on the mountain and a group of soldiers with grimaces, adding a stern murderous intent and insidiousness out of thin air.

Luo Binwang kept watching the prince, thinking that he was very talented, but the treatment was unfair, so there were many complaints in the poem. But he also wanted to make a name for himself. Therefore, the prince came and gave him an opportunity.

However, he didn't know that it was because of the complaints in his poem that Li Wei was afraid. He was not the only one who was treated unfairly, but Li Wei himself was the same. However, people are different from others. Being generous is a good thing, and trying to get rid of difficulties is the real ability. Like Li Wei himself, he has been working hard and even preparing to escape the road, but he has not sat down and complained. He has enough troubles, how dare he recruit a complaining poet by his side.

Of course, no one would remind Luo Binwang. It was just some of his talents, especially the "Imperial Capital" written by him, which was praised as the sister chapter of "Chang'an Ancient Ideas" with Lu Zhaolin, and most of them even listed it on "Chang'an Ancient Ideas", which was very satisfying. However, compared with the poems or poems of the prince, it was only said that it was like it, or it could only be said that the prince had never written a long poem. (Note)

This talent is not enough in front of the prince...

Looking at the terrain, I experienced a lot of experience in the battle in the southwest, and I also knew that the situation was a bit serious. However, I couldn't see any anxiety in the prince's eyes. This is the demeanor of the Wang family.

Wang's attitude is that Li Wei is gentle in character and Pei Xingjian's plan, so there is no hurry.

…………………………

Li Wei said: "Tell me, where is it? How did you find it?"

Wang Dian'er said: "We also went to the Central Plains from this road. When we arrived here, the stone village began to be built on the mountain road. My sister and I were afraid and dared not pass. We were at the end of Changcaoling to treat the people in the village. Then the people of the village pointed a road."

"Where?"

"Crown Prince, come with me."

If you let the prince come, you will come? But Liaoman, who was born in the deep mountains, cannot expect her to understand etiquette. Li Wei and Pei Xingjian asked the soldiers to set up camp in front of the mountains for a while, and then led a group of guards to follow Wang Dian'er to the south along the foot of the mountain.

To the south is still a big mountain, all of which are tall and tall. I didn’t see the road, but only many clouds, and some male falcons flew around in the sky. After walking for a while, Wang Dian'er pointed to a mountain and said, “It’s right there.”

Li Wei looked up and saw that it was still a very majestic mountain, but there was a small village on the side of the mountain, with about twenty or thirty families building stilt bamboo houses. A stream flowed down from the mountain, and some women were washing clothes by the stream. However, these women were very poor and not very good.

I have seen it many along the way. Due to the terrain, the lives of the people in the river valley dam are better and not all good. If a mountain torrent breaks out, not only will the particles be unharmed, but they may even drown. Or they hunt on the mountain for a living, and their lives are even more poor.

Without this, I don’t know why Zhao Kuangyin stood by the Dadu River and threw the axe, and the territory of our Song Dynasty ended here. But that’s not the case. The more developed the technology, the larger the territory it occupies, the more treasures there will be. For example, in Siberia, the country thinks it is a poor place, but later it became a life-saving straw for Russia. I know, but I can’t say it out.

After continuing to look, I finally saw a path behind the village, which vaguely penetrated into the back of the mountain, disappeared in the clouds and mist. I looked a little dizzy, let alone marching.

But Pei Xingjian, Heichi Changzhi and Liang Jishou looked at each other, and Pei Xingjian ordered: "Send a team of scouts to inquire."

The scout left and the group returned to the camp. Seeing that the Tang army did not attack, the officials in the Shizhai began to brag. No one looked at it, but they didn't want to sacrifice too much, otherwise they would have taken it off in two or three hours.

It is to be able to sacrifice, and you always have to win the beautiful battle in the first battle. A group of people waited patiently for the scouts to come back. They waited for a long time until the weather gradually became chaotic and unclear. Then they reported that there was a mountain road leading to the back. However, the news brought back was good and bad. The good news was that not only led to the back of the mountain, but also passed a village behind the mountain, but also could go back to the road again. This village was about the village that Wangdianzi mentioned. He also bought a local person with a lot of money and pointed out another road. It was very dangerous. There was an almost cliff in the middle, but as long as you could climb up and hang it down with a rope, you could directly climb to the mountain south of Changcaoling. However, other roads were also very dangerous. The barbarians in the local villages did not follow this road and went up the mountain to hunt. Only some medicinal farmers occasionally took the risk to climb up for precious medicinal materials.

But when a few people heard this, their eyes lit up. This is an authentic stone mountain. There are always many stones on the mountain. Even if they are connected into pieces, they can smash some of them with a few big hammers. They throw the stones into the stone village, and they will also make the rebels in the stone village.

There is not only one good news. Some food was prepared in Shizhai, but the water was edible was the mountain spring water behind Changcaoling. As long as you go around behind Changcaoling and cut off the spring water, the water source would be lost immediately on the mountain. Li Wei looked at Pei Xingjian again and thought of an allusion. The story of Ma Su losing Jieting. Not only that, this group of officials had about two thousand people, and they just arrived here and stayed at their own affairs. But after the Shizhai was repaired, the original appearance was revealed and several attachments were occasionally received.

Nearby villages harassed. These villages also built stone walls to protect themselves, but they were used to deal with some bandits in the mountains. Faced with more than a thousand regular troops, none of them dared to resist. A lot of property was robbed, dozens of girls and young women were also robbed. A few days later, all the women in the village fled to other places. Until the Tang army came, these women returned. In other words, the Tang army had an action and the locals nearby would support it.

The bad news is that the mountain road is too dangerous, especially a section on the mountain. Because it is very high, the fog almost melts all year round and is covered with moss. Several people are quite flexible, but after a trip, they are dangerous and almost fall below the cliff several times. Speaking of this, I looked at the two little girls who were treating soldiers not far away, with admiration in their eyes. The two girls or young women were not ashamed to ask, but they were just a weak woman, and they were carrying a two-wheeled car, and I don’t know how to climb over it.

But in the end, it was just a mountain road, not in Devil Mountain, just around the enemy's back or climbing to the top, and there was no need to take horses. When hearing the scout's information, there was no need to discuss it, and several generals knew how to arrange it. Hei-Too Changzhi said: "Your Highness, let me go."

The prince treated him with a scholar and even regarded him as a respectful deity in Yuchi. He also wanted to repay him with a courtesy of a scholar.

But Liang Jishou also said weakly: "I have been in the south for more than half a year and am very familiar with this place, including the various things that climb the mountain path. Can I let me go?"

This is true, especially after the Devil Mountain got lost and could not find a way, so they had to climb from all the cliffs. After the plan was opened, the main battlefield would be the back of Changcaoling. Liang Jishou wanted to compete for merit. The main reason was that he made serious mistakes, to see if he could make some contributions and to make the contributions demerit.

Not only him, but also the veteran general Xue Rengui was the same. After hearing that after the Tubo people entered Yaozhou, they worked hard to train troops in Zhuziling. This was not to make a meritorious service. He made too many contributions and didn't care. It was to avenge revenge.

Li Weisi paid for a moment and said, "General Liang is better to go there."

It still needs to be discussed. After a while, the sky became darker, and Liang Jishou began to select two thousand elite soldiers to set off. He wanted to spend the night at the foot of the village, and then set off tomorrow at dawn. When it was dim, he walked around behind Changcaoling and built a simple camp to block the officials at the foot of the mountain.

The group of veterans under him were still using. They were not feeling well these days after making a mistake, but they were about to fight. They didn't take these men seriously and were very relaxed. They even joked with the Wang Dianzi sisters who were treating the disease: "Miss Wang, look at Liang avenging your tribe members for the first time today."

After a few days, Liang Jishou was very familiar with these two girls. In fact, the two girls treated the most was his men. Although they escaped, many people, including himself, had some injuries. Because there were not many injuries left behind in the battle, they were mainly left in Devil Mountain. The injuries were extremely strange, including leeches, poisonous snakes, sucked miasma, accidentally ate poison, fell, and other strange injuries. Most of the soldiers were cleared, but some soldiers had suffered from the accumulation of injuries from time to time after months. Most of the doctors brought by them were helpless. On the contrary, because Wang Dianzi lived here all year round, he had a lot of experience in treating them.

Therefore, Liang Jishou was very grateful.

Wang Dianzi smiled and said, "Then I will congratulate General Liang for his victory in the flag."

...

The next day, the two sides still had no movement, and Li Wei did not order an attack. After Liang Jishou's slash and slaughter, these people knew the power of the Tang Dynasty's army, and they did not dare to come down to fight to the death. They just held the mountain and swayed on the mountain, which seemed arrogant, but they were quite fierce and cowardly.

Since he stopped, Li Wei ordered some soldiers to be assigned to guard, and the other soldiers began to continue training.

Then he asked the soldiers to carry water and chop firewood for several nearby villages and repair the houses damaged by the invasion of the intellectuals on Changcao Ridge. Siege the city as the best and attack the heart as the best. It was heard from "Three Kingdoms", but I don't know how to "attack the heart". Teach them wealthy and culture, build roads for them, and even print them in movable type, send them books, so that they can quickly become Chinese. It seems very beautiful, but Li Wei thought about the records in historical books and some pitiful historical memories. But he dared not do it.

This was done by Tubo, Khitan, and the court. Even afterwards, Dangxiang was supported by the Tang Dynasty. It was precisely because of the culture of the Central Plains that they became stronger. What did they do? Maybe it was the bad officials, or maybe it was other reasons. The main problem was that Li Wei could not figure it out. But it was not possible to impose a heavy tax on the levy and forced suppression. So after thinking about it, it was better to give some small favors. It seemed that the effect was pretty good. Along the way, the attitude of these barbarians in the south gradually changed. The key was not the general, but the crown prince, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty later...

But compared with the arrogant horn sound on the mountain, the Tang Dynasty army seemed more leisurely and generous.

The princess came to Li Wei and said, "Crown Prince, this time the Han army will definitely win."

"Why did this come from?"

"It feels like your Han family has a book called "The Doctrine of the Mean".

"This is a faith in despising the enemy, not the Doctrine of the Mean. If you come with me, I will show you this book."

He brought a lot of books to come and read the second update every night when he was resting. But strangely, no one praised it, but thought it was normal for him to do so. Li Wei was very depressed. It was a new woodblock printed book, printed on bamboo paper. Although the price of bamboo paper did not really drop, the paper was thin, and the printed books were easy to carry. Li Wei also valued this point, and most of the books he brought were bamboo paper books. Therefore, it was a very thin book.

The little girl is easy to learn. She doesn't understand what she doesn't understand, and asks Li Wei when she sees Li Wei free. Of course, Li Wei can't help but turn around alone, and there are still many things. She just sighed secretly when she saw her sitting on the stone studying hard.
