Yeyu City by Yeyu Pool, the market in Xiguo Nei was very lively. Merchants from the imperial edicts around Yeyu Pool gathered in Yeyu, and exchanged various specialties for the goods in the hands of Central Plains merchants, and then sold them to various places.

The goods in the Central Plains were varied, including daily necessities and luxury goods. Each one was needed by the emperors. The gold and silver in the emperors were also equivalents favored by merchants in the Central Plains. Therefore, the trade volume of Yeyubian City increased year by year, and the scale of the border market became larger and larger.

On the inner city wall, many young people in military uniforms leaned against the women's walls, looking at the lively scene in the market, and whispered from time to time.

They were "fresh graduates" of the military academy and went to Nanzhong for an internship. They followed the army to travel among the mountains and ridges, fought with the barbarians in the valleys and deep forests, slept in the wind and fed mosquitoes for more than half a year. Now they have trained and have lost their original youth.

The smoky land that made people feel terrified in the past and the steep mountains that make people feel headache when they see it is no longer a taboo place for military academy students now.

"That flag...is the flag of "Langqiongzhao". It's very conspicuous, afraid that others won't see it."

"Oh, I can't see it. Anyway, he has a residence in the market, and there are so many repeat customers, so I'm afraid that the transaction will not be completed?"

"I said, there are really caravans going to Tianzhu by land? It is said that the road is full of mountains and mountains and forests, and the freight is probably not low. Isn't this business a loss? The sea boats in Nansi go directly to Tianzhu by sea, which is not much more convenient than them?"

"I think there are many barbarians along the way. Perhaps Zhuzhao's caravans are doing business with barbarians along the way, so they don't have to sell things to India."

"You said this seems to make sense, but I heard that you can reach the northern border of the Piao Kingdom hundreds of miles southwest from here, and the southern part of the Piao Kingdom is surrounded by the sea. The sea ships of the Nanshi often berth at the port and do business with the Piao Kingdom. Isn't that true?"

"That's what the newspaper says, I think it should be fine..."

"I also heard that the harbor opened by Nansi in the Piao Kingdom was at the entrance of a large river. If you take a boat to go upstream along the river, you can walk more than a thousand miles, then turn to land, and go seven or eight hundred miles to the northeast to reach Yeyu."

"Never mind, it's true. Nansi's expedition team went through the whole journey to Yeyu. Now this section of land is contracted by Zhuzhao caravans, so people are anxious to purchase goods from Yeyu. If the goods are less, they will earn less."

Amid the discussion, a young military academy student looked at the market ahead and fell into deep thought. Seeing that he was taciturn and did not participate in the discussion, the students joked: "Dingfang, aren't they planning to do border trade?"

"Huh? Border Trade?" Su Dingfang was stunned when he heard this, then came to his senses and narrowed his eyes: "You have seen through this kind of secret, it seems that you have to silence..."

The man smiled and said, "Don't, so many people have seen through the secrets, you can't destroy them!"

"Can't you kill it? I'll treat everyone to chili noodles later. It's so spicy that your throat is so hot that you can't even speak!"

"Hey, what you said, treat me! Everyone has a portion of chili noodles!"

Amid the laughter, everyone's focus of discussion turned to the mountains and rivers of Nanzhong. Su Dingfang continued to look at the market and think about the problem.

Su Dingfang is a military academy student. His surname is Su's name, Lie's name is Dingfang, and he is known as Dingfang. He is 23 years old this year. He has experience in leading troops before entering school. Because as a county magistrate, his father often led troops to encircle and suppress strong men and bandits. He led his troops to help in the battle, so he was not a novice in the battlefield.

However, after being admitted to the military academy, he found that he had a lot of military knowledge to learn, especially the new weapon, such as firearms, which could not find combat methods in previous military books.

After several years of study and as graduation approaches, the "fresh graduates" have to go to the army to conduct internships and experience actual combat. The internship area has to be drawn. Su Dingfang won the Nanzhong, so he fed mosquitoes in Nanzhong for more than half a year.

Thanks to mosquito coils, various insect-proof ointments and large bowls of tea to remove dampness, Su Dingfang and his classmates "survived" in this smoky and smoky place.

The warfare was everywhere in the south center, and the tactics of combat were completely different from those in the plains. Su Dingfang and his classmates followed the official army and the righteous soldiers (slave hunting team) and traveled around the country. After suffering a lot, they finally deeply understood what "mountain war" and "jungle war" were.

When it comes to war, many people think of thousands of troops roaring past, but it is in the Central Plains where there are many plains, and in the southern middle of the mountains everywhere, large-scale cavalry charges cannot be rushed.

The army advances along the mountain road, basically relying on its legs to cross mountains and ridges. If there are many soldiers, the movement speed is slow and the formation cannot be carried out. If there are few soldiers, there will be mountains and dense forests in front, back, left and right. If you are not careful, you will be ambushed and the entire army will be wiped out.

People who are not used to it, look at the surrounding mountains and forests and feel cheerful, and they are prone to panic.

Therefore, fighting in such a place does not depend on a large number of soldiers, but on a strong soldier.

This is the perception of military academy students. The so-called "mountain war" and "jungle war" are indeed different from those in plain areas.

But the core tactical ideas are the same: use a few elite troops to assault, use movement to control static, encircle the enemy in a roundabout way, and directly hit the enemy's key points.

This core idea will not change whether it is a cavalry showdown on the plains or infantry crossing mountains and ridges.

When they were in school, they learned the example of the official army pacifying Nanzhong. At that time, Long Live Shi, Duke of E, led thousands of war soldiers to advance lightly among the mountains and ridges of Nanzhong, sleeping in the open air, eating from the enemy, traveling thousands of miles, making it difficult to deal with the Cuan army.

Finally, a "black tiger" forced a "heart-to-heart" to defeat the army led by the leader of the Cuan clan and captured it. Then the troops scattered and pacified the southern center.

If the imperial court sent tens of thousands of troops into Nanzhong, not to mention how long it would take to pacify the Cuan family, just as military supplies were consumed, the mobilization of the young and strong army would probably be an astonishing number.

Therefore, Duke of E is worthy of being a famous general in the world. No matter whether he is a cavalry or infantry, whether the battlefield is grassland, plains, hills or mountains, he can use a few elite combat soldiers to detour, hit the enemy's key points, and win battles.

I will do it in the future!

Su Dingfang often motivated himself with the record of the Duke of the Kingdom of E, so he was not discouraged even if he drew lottery draws Zhongnanzhong, because no matter what terrain the famous generals fought on, they could still win.

At the same time, if you want to become a famous general, you have to use your brain more when fighting.

When the military academy teachers were conducting analyses of the battle examples, they analyzed to the students why Duke E of the Kingdom of China could travel thousands of miles across the South Central without losing his spirit: they just passed by, rather than siege the cities and villages along the way.

The Cuan family in the South Central China is strong, but there are many conflicts between the various divisions. Facing the foreign enemy, the Zhou army, although they are vigilant, they may not be willing to do their best.

The reason is very simple. Once a tribe and the Zhou army fight to the point of losing both sides, it will be easy to be annexed by other tribes after the war. Therefore, the attitudes of the chiefs of each tribe are actually divided into two aspects:

They shouted to fight and kill on the outside, but secretly they were "watching out of the country". As long as the Zhou army did not attack their village, they would not take the initiative or attack with all their strength.

The Zhou army cleverly used this mentality to fight thousands of miles in the Nanzhong area. Basically, as long as the tribes along the way do not block the road, they will not be too entangled. Unless they are for the sake of supply, they will not attack any villages.

So, Duke of E led thousands of elite troops around the heartland of Nanzhong without encountering the enemy. He went straight to the old nest of the Cuan clan, defeated the enemy in one battle and captured the enemy's chief alive.

Just like hundreds of elite cavalry breaking into the army, avoiding the formation and heading straight towards the enemy's central army, killing or capturing the enemy's commander alive before the opponent can react.

Such a battle example made Su Dingfang feel excited every time he thought about it. He secretly swore that one day he would be like Duke of Hubei and win battles on any terrain.

When fighting, you must use your brain and not just do it. This is Su Dingfang's experience. So, since he is "intern" in Nanzhong, he must carefully observe the local situation and once he has the opportunity to fight in Nanzhong in the future, he can use it.

At present, he is thinking about the various imperial edicts in the areas around Yeyuchi, or the "Six Edicts".

There are many barbarian tribes living around Yeyuchi. These barbarian tribes call themselves "Xiangxiao", and the "zhao" in them means "tribe".

The prey on the weak is the law of survival in the world. Among the mountains and ridges in the southern middle, tribes and tribes attacked and merged each other, and the imperial edicts were no exception. After years of bloody storms, the number of imperial edicts has gradually decreased, forming several "authors" with strong strength.

This is: Meng Gui's edict, Yue Xi's edict, Lang Qiong's edict, Zhui's edict, Lang's edict, Mengshe's edict.

Of course, these six edicts still have several small edicts that are attached to them, but it will be a matter of time before they can be annexed.

The imperial court has pacified Nanzhong for 18 years and has developed and operated Nanzhong for nearly 18 years. In order to prevent the revival of the Kuan clan of the Nanzhong, in order to suppress the barbarians, the imperial court used the power of the Six Divines to use it as a hawk and dog to suppress the local area.

This practice actually has the risk of raising a tiger, because eating young beasts that grow up with old beasts will have a high probability of becoming more ferocious beasts.

Don’t the officials of the Political Affairs Hall realize this risk?
