1.37 Soldiers go north
The two cities of Licheng and Du Kang were newly built, and the people were all determined, but the people's hearts were not attached to them. Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin should not be moved lightly. Lou Sang was the top priority. He had to be the general and could not defend him. Huang Gai was the most suitable candidate. When Liu Bei decided to go to war, he replied to Huang Gong.
Huang Gai clasped his fists and said.
Just as Liu Bei only took him north to Wuhuan when he was young, but now he is only left to stay at Lou Sang. The responsibility is particularly heavy. Huang Gai is quite aware of the general principles, but how can he not know it?
He escorted Liu Bei to Pingbo Shuizhai safely and unloaded all the supplies, food and supplies on the ship. Huang Gai then led the fleet back.
The bloodstains of Pingbo Shui Village were still there. A few days ago, after receiving a letter from Liu Bei, Cheng Pu dispersed a group of people and killed the Xianbei people in the village. Now only his subordinates were left in the Shui Village, Lou Sang's servants and the Tian clan members, and there was no one else.
Liu Bei ordered the military craftsmen to transform the water camp and build it into a solid camp. From then on, food and grass would be transported from Lousang and then transported to Lulongsai by soldiers.
Within three days, Xu Rong led 500 dragon cavalry to take hundreds of various military vehicles and roared in. He waited for all the food, grass and supplies to be loaded. Wulian and Bai Zhuo also came to the camp.
The Xianbei cavalry along the way were all killed. The fleeing Xianbei cavalry was cleared by Wuhuan, the Wuhuan who fled to the west of Liao. If you flee to western Liaoning along the sea route, it would be too late. But if you want to escape to western Liaoning, you will turn to Danhan Mountain to inform the news. The journey was too long and it was too late. At that time, the Shaojun Hou had already occupied Baitantun City. You only need to distribute scouts and intercept the news and the news will be intercepted and reported to the cavalry along the way. You will definitely not leak information.
At the village fortress, Liu Bei and Cheng Pu and the host meet.
Cheng Pusu bowed: I hope to follow the young master to the north to kill the thief.
Liu Bei smiled and helped him: Pingbo Shui Village is the life gate of our army. It is also the food road northward, so there is no need to be lost. If the leader of the village can protect this village for me, it would be a great achievement.
Cheng Pu stood up: Since that's the case, Cheng Pu decided to protect the water village.
Cheng Pu is in charge of the water village, and Liu Bei’s grain road is worry-free.
After three days of the army, the army set out and headed straight to the foot of Yanshan Mountain. Two days later, they arrived at Wuzhong County. They joined forces with Wuhuan King Wuhuan and rushed straight to Xu Wushan.
Wu Yan and Liu Bei were quite happy to meet. The Wuhuan who was able to have today's atmosphere on the right Ping was because of Liu Bei. Whether it was cattle, horse, fur, or dried meat, they were sold in the town. They made a lot of profits. Hearing that Liu Bei was ordered to leave the pass, he took the eight hundred Wuhuan cavalry under his command and went there together. He also saw that Wu Lian was well-armed and envious. He didn't know how to speak, but Liu Bei ordered people to send more than 800 sets of ring-mounted armor like the Xiwu cavalry brought with him to the Wuhuan camp.
Wu Yan was overjoyed and should do his best to assist Liu Bei.
The road leading to Xu Wushan is deep in the grass and has many thorns and shrubs. There is only a gravel-paved ancient road in the middle, which can be used by a single rider. As Tian Chou said, only "small paths can be obtained". Small Xianbei rafts often go from this road and enter the pass to rob. Wu Yan ordered dozens of elite raids to explore the road first and intercept the Xianbei rafts who were heading south.
Seeing several strange-style carriages slowly driving out of the team, Wu Yan asked Wu Lian in Hu language: What is this?
Wu Lian smiled and said: The mowing cart was built by Liu Bei to cut grass on the dike. It is now just for the road.
Seeing the knife wheel turning, the weeds that flooded the road were broken at the same roots. Five mowers drove side by side, cutting through the thorns and moving forward at a constant speed in the depths of the shrubs. Wu Yan's shock was all on his face. The weeds fell to the ground layer by layer and formed a mat. They were crushed tightly by the mowing wheels, and then trampled by the horse's hooves, and became a piece of iron.
Although he couldn't run wildly, he was not slow. Two days later, Lu Long was watching.
Lulongsai is located at the easternmost part of the foothills of Xuwu Mountain, and is located between the two mountains. Meishan on the left and Yunshan on the right.
There were four old roads leading to the Central Plains in western Liao Dynasty in the Han Dynasty. Since Lulong Pass Road, there was no end road, Pinggang Road, and the sea road. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, from the capital of Guangyang County: Ji to the capital of Youbeiping County: Pinggang, there was a major road passing through Lulong Pass, called Lulong Pass Road.
Now there are only four counties left in Youbeiping. Pinggang, the county seat, is located outside the Great Wall and has been abandoned for many years. Liu Bei does not need to go to Pinggang. He just needs to arrive at Baitan.
The elite cavalry sent by Wuyan earlier reported that there was a team of Xianbei stationed in Lulongsai. Lulongsai, which seemed to have been abandoned for many years, has become a pass for the Xianbei to move south.
There are low hills around Lulongsai. It rises suddenly from south to north. The terrain is abrupt and traffic is difficult. The valley road washed by water becomes a natural aperture for north-south. The high cliffs on the left and right sides of the pass are confronting, and the terrain is dangerous. From this, we exit the pass, and we break into the eastern Bailangshui (Daling River) basin, and go north to the upper reaches of Tonghuangshui (Xiliao River) and the eastern part of the Mongolian Plateau. To the southwest, we pass through Xuyuan and Junmi counties to Youbeiping.
This is a must-have place, but our dynasty abandons it. The reason is that it is not enough strength. It is burdened by the Qiang Rebellion for more than a hundred years, and the court has taken all its might to the west. The northern territory, especially the former Han areas outside the Great Wall, are no longer able to be restored.
The only four counties left in Youbeiping County are proof of this.
The army camped in the mountains. Liu Bei sent embroidered officials to use the night to protect him and killed all the Xianbei cavalry of Lulong Senei. Only two leaders were left for interrogation.
There was no useful information. Both of them said that the small rogues who went south to plunder Youbeiping were mostly familiar with each other, so they walked together. There were no three masters who sent them. Because they often went south and had a lot of money, they cleaned up the abandoned Lu Longsai for a temporary stay. As a transportation of supplies, they went south to rest.
Liu Bei asked again, there have been a large number of Xianbei who have moved south since recently.
The leaders all shook their heads and asked Liu Bei how the Lu Long Pass, who had only "a small path" could pass through the army.
Liu Bei smiled and waved his hand, and the embroidered clothes officer behind him raised his sword and killed the two.
Lulong Pass is an important area in the border area of the former Han Dynasty. It has complete facilities. In addition to beacons and pavilions, a large number of garrison cities were built inside and outside the Great Wall. From the pre-Qin period to the former Han Dynasty, the Great Wall defense developed in depth, forming a continuous defense system. The Great Wall wall was built using the terrain, and a large number of city, barriers, pavilions, and fu were built along the Great Wall to jointly build a more complete and sturdy enemy defense fortification than a single wall. At that time, it was called "using dangerous blocks to control blocks."
Lulongsai was built according to the danger.
The blockages were all built on the spot. After two hundred years of wind and rain, although most of the facilities were destroyed, the walls were still solid. Just a little repair was needed to be used. As soon as the war began, Liu Bei still had time. He ordered Bai Zhuo and Wuhuan, who were proficient in Hu language, to pretend to be Xianbei cavalry and go out to the blockage first. He ran to Bai Tan without stopping. He also ordered the military craftsmen to repair and strengthen the Lulong Pass. The nearby beacon towers and pavilions were also repaired.
Fortresses that were not popular with Han people for two hundred years. The surrounding mountains and forests are dense. Many huge trees for a hundred years are very useful.
It is not difficult to repair the stone fort that cannot be built into a wall.
With sufficient manpower and complete tools, results will be achieved within a few days.
