Luo Yanhuan and his group of five were in a place called Lishugou.
Luo Yanhuan, two personal soldiers, plus two old members of the Luo family; this Lishugou is located in the north of Tangcang Town; while Tangcang Town is in the Qinling Valley on the west side of Shu Road, not on the thoroughfare road.
They had been in Fengzhou for almost a month and found the Luo family members who migrated from Hedong to Tangcang Town, Fengzhou many years ago. An old man and a half-old boy who were with him were the Luo family members who were sent to send them out of the mountain.
On the way, a farmer driving a buffalo came towards him. Luo Yanhuan and his old man in front of him greeted him in an extremely strong dialect tone: Brother!Have you heard of Taoist Ma Yi hitting here recently?
Unexpectedly, the farmer had heard of the Taoist Ma Yi, so he shouted in a long voice: Taoist Ma Yi?Brother, I have to go to Mount Emei to see if it is there.
Old Man Luo had to reply again as Luo Yanhuan Sect said: I heard that the old man had passed by here recently, and someone asked him to see the picture. Have you heard of it?
No, it’s hard to find such a god-like person here and there.Are you looking for him to see his photos?The farmer said slowly, looking very excited.
Old Man Luo said: The second boy has a strange disease. If he can find Taoist Ma Yi, he wants him to see it.The doctor doesn’t work, I’ve seen many!
After a while of the conversation, everyone passed by the farmer. The farmer was holding a pear branch in his hand. While driving the cows, he looked back at them a few more times. Maybe he thought that the strong men such as Luo Yanhuan were a little strange.
The land in the Qinling Mountains is barren, so where can people easily see tall and strong men such as Luo Yanhuan?
Because of this, Luo Yanhuan was almost arrested when he entered the Qinling Mountains in one month. Today, a month later, they were still wandering around in the mountains. Not only were they lucky, but they were also because of their relatively lax prevention in the border towns of Shu Army.
At that time, he didn't know the way and was following the Chencang Road. Shortly after leaving Dasan Pass, he met the inspector of the Shu army and was immediately taken away.
Luo Yanhuan lied that he was a merchant who went to Shannan West Road to purchase goods and bribed some copper coins. He was lucky enough to get rid of it and was not forced to do so.
The accompanying Guo Shao's personal soldiers proposed to give up this trip, which was too risky; Luo Yanhuan was eager to make contributions and insisted on continuing to walk, claiming that the people of the Luo family were not far away here, and it would be easy as long as they were supported by the clan.
However, they did not dare to walk the main road anymore, so they detoured to the valley path to the west, but they did not know the way. Fortunately, they met a local dilapidated house begging along the way, so Luo Yanhuan gave him dry food and asked him to be a guide to lead the way.
Finally, I found the boundary of Tangcang Town and found the Luo family members in a village. The Luo family members took refuge in Hedong and went to the mountains. When they encountered peace, they occasionally had contact with Luo Yanhuan and Hedong's hometown.
Luo Yanhuan received help from his acquaintances, and the old man who accompanied him had been to Hedong twice.Now he figured out the situation in northern Feng County and didn't dare to stay too much. He hurried back to avoid wasting all his previous efforts.
Going north from Tangcang Town is the route they return to Guanzhong, and they really dare not take the Shu Road.
This road is very circling, just walking along the valley, but if you don’t have the local people leading it, it is easy to follow the valley and reach a dead end.
The valley was not opened manually. There was a road ahead, and maybe there were only mountains left as you walked; if you cross the mountains in the Qinling Mountains, you would probably die of exhaustion in the mountains and forests.
Tangcang Town is located in the north of Fengzhou.
According to the Luo family, there are four main roads extending northward near Fengzhou City, two in the middle that can pass through Guanzhong: one of them is the Shu Road along the Jialing River; the other is in the west, which is Tangcang Town, which leads to the mountainous area on the west side of Shu Road.
There are three valley routes to the north of Tangcang Town, the left is towards Qinzhou; the right two can converge to the Jialing River and Shu Road, and the convergence point is Huanghua Valley.
Luo Yanhuan and others walked the farthest one on the right side of Tangcang Town, but they did not go to Shu Road, but continued north at the fork in the road, preparing to take a small road to the Wei River, and then go back to Chencang along the Wei River... The road is difficult to walk, but they usually do not encounter Shu army patrols and scouts.
These rugged roads of various valleys, large and small, are the only way to transport in the Qinling area. There is no other choice, and no one can stand the mountain after mountain to climb.
This is completely different from the Central Plains Plain that Luo Yanhuan and others are familiar with. Even if you don’t take the main road, there are countless possibilities for walking the small path between crops; the only thing you need to pay attention to is the direction.
Luo Yanhuan and his party had a rough road, but they were not far from Guanzhong. They arrived in Fengxiang two days later.
The personal soldiers left behind in the Fengxiáng Inn told them that Guo Shao and others had gone to Sanguan; Luo Yanhuan had to turn south and go to Sanguan to find Guo Shao.
Guo Shao and others still live in Sanguan, and they have been there for more than half a month.
Seeing Luo Yanhuan and listening to his narrative, Guo Shao immediately sighed: The decisive battle is on the battlefield, but the decisive victory is not on the battlefield.Brother Luo has found out the terrain of Fengxiu North despite his life, and I will be the one who will show you the future.
Luo Yanhuan hurriedly said: The last thing is just a matter of duty!
Guo Shao stopped talking and hurriedly asked him for details, and then made five pictures.Try to draw everything from large to small.
After drawing the terrain of the road, Guo Shao remembered the villagers who helped Luo Yanhuan again, so he personally received the money and rewarded a small cloth bag.
Old man Luo was holding his heavy pocket and was very happy for a moment: I have to buy a few mules!Thank you for the reward of the general.
Guo Shao asked with an extremely friendly smile: Tangcang Town controls Shu Road on the west side, and is a transportation branch hub on the west side, so it must have been stationed in the army. The old man lives in Tangcang Town. Do you know how many troops there are?
Old man Luo thought for a moment and said: There are a thousand people, maybe eight hundred?The old man knew that there were many Shu troops stationed in Tangcang Town!There are also other places, except for Fengzhou City and Weiwu City, there are many soldiers, and there is a military camp in Huanghua Valley. Last month, my fellow villagers and I took the Shu Road to sell goods, and we can't make mistakes with our own eyes.There are also several military camps in front of Weiwu City, but I don’t know how many people there are.I will tell the general everything that the old man knows.
Guo Shao said kindly again: Old man, do you think it's okay... I'll send a few people to go back with you and do some business in Tangcang Town. You just say you are a businessman who sells goods in partnership. Take care of him. How about it?After saying that, he turned to look at Luo Yanhuan.
Luo Yanhuan understood and nodded slightly.
Guo Shao added another sentence: In return, I will pay your family one thousand copper coins every month, and the person who sells the goods with you will give it to you on time.
Old man Luo thought for a while: It’s done!The old man is just carrying it alone.
Guo Shao rubbed the lines of Shu Road on the drawing with his palm again, and knocked his index finger twice at the Tangcang Town on the left, and couldn't help but speak again: Is there a Maling Village on the east side of Shu Road?How many roads are there in Maling Village that meet the Shu Road main line?
Old man Luo frowned and said: I have never been there. Usually, if you leave the Qinling Mountains, you don’t walk on the west valley road, just follow Chencang Road.But I know one thing. There is a road called Xigu in Baijian, and the road to the east seems to be from Maling Village.
Baijian?Where is it?Guo Shao asked hurriedly.
Old man Luo was illiterate, so he naturally would not let him look at the pictures and point to the place. He had to say in words: Baijian is not far north of the exit of Xigu... On Chencang Road (Shu Road), it is thirty miles away from Fengzhou.
Although Guo Shao could guess the direction he was talking about, he still asked carefully: Thirty miles away from Fengzhou, is it on Chencang Road north of Fengzhou?
Yes.Old Man Luo nodded without hesitation.
Guo Shao hurriedly measured it on the picture and added another place: Baijian.And draw a line at a point below the Baijian and write the slanting valley.
After almost the question was complete, Guo Shao asked him to leave.
Then Guo Shaoping retreated the irrelevant people, left Zuo You, Jing Niang and a few generals, and said: In the past half month, we have found out the terrain and roads in the north of Fengzhou. What do you think?
Li Chuyun said: From Sanguan to Fengzhou, there is Qinling Mountains in the middle, and Chencang Road (Shu Road) is the closest and the best way to go.The Shu army should have blocked the barriers and set up Chencang Roads at layers; then on the left and right wings, Tangcang Town and Malingzhai control the flanks to control those winding and complex paths.
Guo Shao didn't talk much, but just nodded and said: General Li has a view of the overall situation, which makes sense.
Luo Yanhuan hurriedly said: Guo Du Envoy should pay attention to Huanghua Valley.This place is unknown, but several roads from Tangcang Town on the west side are at the exit of this place.
Guo Shao also praised: General Luo is good at understanding the subtleties.
Everyone continued to stay in Sanguan for several days, and finally waited for Jingniang's entourage to return.But they were seven or eight days later than Luo Yanhuan.
There were four people in the group, two female Taoists were Jing Niang's followers, and two bald nuns.
They all carry a kind of wooden rack bag, which spreads upwards to form a tung oil cloth that can cover the sun and light rain, but saves the hand of holding an umbrella.
These women walked directly on Chencang Road, and passed by Sanguan and ran into Guo Shaojingniang and others.
Guo Shao still met with him in person. Two women said, one was a sturdy and thick woman, and the other was a woman in her early thirties with freckles on her face. Guo Shao knew both of them, and Jingniang's entourage who came from the Central Plains all the way. But he had never seen the other two bald nuns. One was a middle-aged man and the other seemed to be in his teens and was very thin.
After a while of greeting, Guo Shao understood the situation.The female Taoist priest and the nun brought back were almost not stranded on the Shu Road. The nun had a certificate of Shu Kingdom, and he was a woman, so the soldiers generally would not make things difficult for them.
However, Taihe Temple is in Qingniling, it has passed Fengzhou and is further south, and the road is relatively far, so the Taoist nun spent more time to stay between Luo Yanhuan and others.
The nun who came with him was the nun from Taihe Temple in Qingniling, and the nun who was personally sent to send her away.
The locals believe that the nunnery is not auspicious, so the incense of Taihe Temple has always been very poor, and it is already in a state of being frugal and unable to make a living. It is almost as if the nuns are dismissed. Last year, Jingniang passed by Shu Road and stayed in the temple overnight. She just got a lot of money from Mrs. Huarui in Shu Kingdom, so she generously donated money to help Taihe Temple preside over it. The prejudices were abandoned between Buddhism and Taoism and formed a friendship, which was really strange.
Luo Yanhuan, two personal soldiers, plus two old members of the Luo family; this Lishugou is located in the north of Tangcang Town; while Tangcang Town is in the Qinling Valley on the west side of Shu Road, not on the thoroughfare road.
