The Yellow River has frozen, as if a jade belt has fallen among the mountains.
Guo Shao stood by the Yellow River and looked at the surrounding mountains.People say that the mountains here are high and the roads are far away, which is comparable to the plains of the Central Plains; in Guo Shao's view, the mountains of Shudao that he had visited are not as sinister as the mountains he had visited.
The mountains on the road to Shu are high and steep, and some roads must be built to pass.
The northwest is not that exaggerated. The mountains are very large, but the hillside is relatively gentler than Shu. It is not difficult for people to pass through. You can see terraces on the hillside when passing through villages along the way.
It’s just that the ravines are crisscrossing and the mountains are continuous, and the vision is extremely unobstructed. When you look at the road from all directions, you are blocked by the mountains.
This kind of terrain can easily hide people and cannot be discovered in time.
Fortunately, I am still in the jurisdiction of Daxu, and there is no risk of my wife.
In winter, the earth is withered and deserted, with loess all over the eyes, and the air is very dry and cold.Fortunately, the weather is better today, the sky is blue and the sun is visible, which adds bright colors to the scene.
A sentence came from the military camp: Let’s have a song of Qin Feng.
As soon as the words were finished, the horn sounded first, as if it were the overture. Then the military musician found the entry point, and the horizontal blow and drums also sounded one after another. The rhythm of the song was slow, heavy and powerful, and the vigorous and powerful music immediately made the atmosphere different.
The musicians sang first, and then the onlookers sang along with them. How could they say there was no clothes?Being with my son.The king raised his army and repaired my spear.Same hatred with your son...
The soldiers who dug trenches, cut wood, and set up tents all turned their ears and looked at the camp where the hype was heard.
After hearing this, Guo Shao was moved inadvertently.
The desolate and backward land in front of him seemed to see that in ancient times, the army of Emperor Yan of Huangdi, with simple sticks and stone axes, cut through the wilderness and opened up the territory. The blood of his ancestors flowed throughout the nine provinces, and this vast country was found.
And now, he has excellent armor, finely forged weapons, and even meticulously crafted artillery firearms, and there is no reason to retreat!
After Guo Shao listened for a while, the musician changed the music from the Han Yuefu, and he returned to the central army tent.
The kang is still being repaired inside and outside the tent, preparing to keep warm at night; it is okay during the day, but if you sleep in the open at night, you can freeze to death.
Li Gu did a good job in logistics. He ordered officials in Yan, Xi, Shi and other states to prepare fuel and recruit civilians to send them to the army to supply the army with the needs of the army, mainly charcoal (coal) and charcoal.
The personal soldiers were setting up a stove in the tent. They worked very carefully in front of the emperor. A soldier was holding a chisel and was trimming a stone, which seemed to be not flat enough.
All the soldiers dressed differently from when they were in Tokyo, mainly because they had a lot of burlap bags and debris hanging on them.
Ordinary soldiers will have flints, knives, grain bags and other items on their bodies. The soldiers also have many weapons-related things, such as small bamboo tubes hanging on the straps to set gunpowder and iron molds with clamped lead balls.
Each team of people also carries hatches, hammers and other tools on donkey carts and mules... marching and fighting, there is little time on the battlefield, and most of the time it is a journey of sleeping in the wind and in the open.
The central army's tent has not been packed up, and the civil and military officials have not come. They are deploying and inspecting the stationing of various battalions.
Guo Shao asked someone to take out the paper and pen in the messy tent and write a letter while he was free.
Each letter to Jinzhan and Ermei took many days to finish it intermittently.
Now it is finally possible to write a private letter to Jinzhan for granted.
In the noisy tent, Guo Shao first described his experiences and feelings along the way. This place is relatively deserted and there is no one in the road all day.
But Guo Shao found that when many people walk this path together, people are not worried, and they will rely more on each other to join in groups.
The emperor was able to build greater trust when he lived with his soldiers day and night during his personal journey.
He asked Jinzhan and others not to worry too much. When the army reached the border area where Wuding River converged with the Yellow River, it would build a fortress there, and the fortress could serve as a barrier.
Guo Shao wrote another sentence, I miss you very much... He didn't write it out, but he thought it was too explicit, so he wrote it on the days when Tokyo Jinzhan was taking good care of him.
At this time, the generals and civil servants came into the tent one after another. Guo Shao put down his brush and asked them to find a place to take a seat.Everyone sat down around the stone stove.
The personal soldiers put an iron pot on the stove, took off the grain bag and poured corn into it, then took out cheese, dried salted fish, pickled vegetables and put them in it, so they didn't even need the ingredients, and just cooked a pot of porridge.
The wheat cakes are placed beside the stove and heated.
Even Guo Shao ate this thing, and there is not much difference between eating from top to bottom.The military law of the Imperial Guard prohibits drinking without reason during the march, and generally the Imperial Guard generals do not drink too much.
There is no longer the noble and gorgeousness in the palace hall, no longer the luxurious ceremonial guards and pomp.
The most powerful ministers of the dynasty sat around such a earthen stove, surrounding the emperor of Daxu.
But at this time, the monarch and ministers seemed much closer.
Guo Shao was holding a map and ignored everyone's intentions, so the dukes started talking casually.The fire of cooking soup makes the tent warmer gradually.
The drawings were added to the scale by Guo Shao, but they were still very simple.
He can roughly understand the directions everywhere... compared to modern psychological knowledge.
For example, the Jingzhao Prefecture in Guanzhong in the south is Xi'an and Yanzhou is Yan'an, and these place names are all reference objects.
The Yellow River flows north and south in eastern Shaanxi, and this is the road that Guo Shao and others are now on.
Their early destination was the intersection of Wuding River and the Yellow River, and it was almost here.
This place now belongs to the jurisdiction of Daxu. It has no city or place name. It is the legendary place that is not taken care of. It is surrounded by prefectures such as Xi, Shi, Yan, Sui... It is probably on the bank of the Yellow River in the eastern part of Yan'an. It should belong to northern Shaanxi?
...The Wuding River flows into this lower reaches of the Yellow River, which already belongs to the Pingxia regime.The upper reaches of Wuding River generally flow east-west, and the lower reaches are roughly north-south; the lower reaches are on the west side of the Yellow River.
Go up the Wuding River and you will soon arrive at Suizhou: the city occupied by the Xiazhou regime.
Suizhou is at the intersection of Dali River and Wuding River. Guo Shao found that China's cities like to be built in such places where rivers meet.
Continue up the Wuding River, another city where the rivers meet: Yinzhou.
Yinzhou roughly belongs to the Hengshan area known as the ministers.
Guo Shao had never heard of a mountain range like Hengshan before. After many understandings when he was in Tokyo, he believed that this place was not a mountain range at all, but a mountainous hilly area with many gullies. Why was it called a mountain range by the ancients? It was probably because this area was a place that was over from the mountainous area to the northern pasture plateau.
Hengshan area is the main agricultural and animal husbandry area in Pingxia. After Dangxiang obtained this area of many gullies, its strength increased a lot.
The Wuding River flows upstream from Yinzhou, and it is roughly flowing east and west.
The upstream is the center of Dangxiang: Xiazhou.
The Jin Dynasty built the capital of Daxia Kingdom to Tongwancheng, which was the city built at that time.
It is on the north bank of Wuding River and should belong to the plateau area.
According to Guo Shao's memory, the Ordos grassland in the north of Xiazhou should be... He was deeply impressed by this place, with a huge real estate bubble, called a ghost town, and was once common news reports.
At this moment, Wang Pu came, and his voice interrupted Guo Shao's random thoughts: I will introduce someone to Your Majesty, please tell me.
When Guo Shao heard that it was Wang Pu's recommendation, he said straight away without asking: Just ask him in.
After a while, a big man with black and yellow skin and burly body bent over and walked in, kneeling down and said: Brother Zheihei, the emperor will live forever...
Guo Shao said: Get up and talk.He turned to look at Wang Pu again.
Wang Pu bowed and said: Brother Zheihei is from Hengshan Qiang, but he was a slave of the Zhe family for a long time. He often followed the father of Zhe Deyan to fight. He fought bravely, so he became a deputy general and was given the surname Zhe.The person sent by Zhe Dezhen is now no different from the Han people.
Brother Zhe Hei said: Mr. Zhe is waiting for the last general as a son. It is often said that during the Yanhuang Emperor, the Qiang people and the Han people were originally no different, but now when the last general entered China, he was a child.
Guo Shao immediately said: If you enter China, you will be a flower; if you enter the barbarians, you will be a barbarian.The heart of Zhegong is also the heart of the court and me.
Brother Zheihei said: When I was young, I grew up in Hengshan and knew the customs of the Dangxiang.Your Majesty's edict came to Lingzhou and issued an order to guard against defense. The commander of Jieshi sent the last general to join Your Majesty, hoping to serve Your Majesty's personal expedition to Xiazhou.
Guo Shao thought to himself that he didn't know what it would be like to lead other countries to beat his own people, but there were many Han people leading the way, which was not surprising... After all, Brother Zheihei has been with the Han people for too long, and assimilation still has effect. If there is no independent regime of the Party, the effect will be better.
He nodded quietly and said: "Zhejieshang is loyal and commendable."
Brother Zheihei said: As far as the last general knows, the people of Dangxiang in Hengshan are more populated than those of Dangxiang in Pingxia (the pastoral area north of Yinzhou), and are rich in iron and food. The people are brave and brave. They are also the main source of military troops of the Xiazhou infantry. Your Majesty will observe it.
Wang Pu said: During the Later Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains realized that the Dangxiang was becoming increasingly powerful and had mobilized a large army to attack.When the siege of Xiazhou, the surrounding area was attacked by more than 40,000 Dangxiang cavalry, and the road and food raising dilemma was difficult. At that time, the Central Plains were in chaos, and the Later Tang court was unable to hold on, so they had to find many excuses to retreat and give up.
I estimate that to this day, Dangxiang has become extremely powerful, and with the Hengshan Qiang Infantry Army and the Hexi Dangxiang reinforcements, the maximum number of troops that can gather may reach 100,000!
Guo Shao pondered: Of course, Dangxiang will do his best in this battle.However, the strength of the troops cannot be just a matter of the number of people. I am a great minister of the country to govern more than 400 states and raise more than 100,000 elite soldiers. I still feel that the national treasury is tense.The population of Dangxiang is only that large. Even if one can mobilize 100,000 people, the equipment training must be very crude. It should be a gathering of some young men who are usually farming and herds.
Daxun is the elite of the imperial guards who are well-trained, brave and good at fighting, and are the best in the world.Don’t be afraid!
Everyone bowed: Your Majesty is wise.
Guo Shao also wanted to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to scare the enemy country to death... If the treasury can be so rich that it ignores transportation, it can only use millions of civilians to supply the front-line military supplies at any cost.
He said: Just one hundred thousand enemy troops, I’m afraid they don’t have the courage to fight just a decisive battle!
Guo Shao stood by the Yellow River and looked at the surrounding mountains.People say that the mountains here are high and the roads are far away, which is comparable to the plains of the Central Plains; in Guo Shao's view, the mountains of Shudao that he had visited are not as sinister as the mountains he had visited.
