Chapter 157: Dugu leads the troops (Part 1) [Unlocked]
Haotian and others were all shocked. They had no idea that the immortal Qin Shang would have such a huge influence twenty years ago. His admirers actually included the most influential figures in the world at that time. However, they thought that although Qin Shang was famous at the time,
Move the world, but be able to interact with her and see her true face
The purpose was not much. In addition, the emperor Shenzong above the imperial court, the heroic laymen in the world, and the heads of the three major families did not leave any portraits, which is normal. As for the exterminated prefect, who did it?
The man was obviously Luo Xiang, of which Haotian was certain.
Zhang Yuewan asked curiously: "Then why did the father-in-law not leave a portrait of my mother-in-law before his death? Although the court has an order, it can't control the affairs between husband and wife. I heard that the three prominent men at that time
Talented men are all talented in literature, painting and calligraphy."
Xin Jiao also looked confused and said: "I don't know this, but when I was in Hetao, I once overheard two adults saying that it seemed that Fairy Qin personally ordered all her portraits to be burned when she was dying.
As for the specific reasons, my lord can ask the two adults or the layman Yingwu." Her words were not a pure fabrication, but she heard it from the layman Yingwu.
Haotian looked up to the sky and sighed: "Both Tianyi and I have asked two uncles about this, but both uncles said that the time has not come yet, and it is not the time to talk about it yet. When I continued to ask, both uncles were
A look of sadness on his face. Alas, maybe one day when the time comes, my two uncles will tell me."
Seeing the confusion on Haotian's face, Qiu Mu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly had an idea flash in his mind. In the conversation, there was a key issue that had not been mentioned by everyone, but it had always affected the truth of the matter.
.But this spiritual light
It came quickly and went away faster. It only hovered in her mind for a moment, and then it was gone in a flash. When she tried hard to think about it, she couldn't remember the clue. In desperation, Qiu Mu had to shake her head.
He shook his head and put this matter aside now.
The straight-line distance from Yizhou in the northwest corner of the South Dian Road to Jingzhou in the southeast corner is hundreds of miles. In addition, the South Dian Road is originally densely covered with jungles and the surface is rugged, so although Dugu traveled lightly and had a guide who was familiar with the road,
It also took five full days.
At the beginning, the route set by the two envoys of the Keshui tribe was to go south to Jingzhou through the junction of Lizhou and Cuizhou. In this way, although the distance did not increase much, because the roads here were less smooth, so
Calculated, it will take at least two more days. But compared to passing through the territory of the Shan people in Lizhou, the two envoys think it is still worth it.
It can be said that it is well known to everyone passing by. Out of the need for confidentiality, Sha Dan was not notified in advance when the Hetao army went south. And Sha Dan has always been hostile to Qingfeng. Who knew that when the Hetao army passed through Sha Dan's territory, Sha Dan
Will Dan suddenly attack? No matter how powerful the Hetao soldiers are in combat, they may still not be able to reap the rewards in the face of an advantageous army that is familiar with the terrain.
But Dugu doesn't think so. He doesn't have a good impression of a diehard like Shadan who will rebel against the country sooner or later. He came here today just to test Shadan's bottom line, or what kind of character he has.
trump card, and this trump card is
How much weight does it have? If Sha Dan really dares to attack him, then as long as he can persist here for one day, the bloody army behind him will definitely swarm in with murderous intent. If possible, Dugu doesn't mind going south.
Knock off this anti-bone smoothly,
However, the two guides did not think so: "Commander Du, now the golden army is about to attack. If we waste too much time here, I'm afraid it will be too late by the time we arrive. With our experience,
See, it’s better to pass between Lizhou and Cuizhou. Although it will take an extra two days, there will definitely be no accidents."
Dugu rolled his eyes. If he had been delayed here for two more days, who knows if Xue Sha, who learned the truth about his cheating that day, would be so angry that he would order the army to march faster, and maybe they would suddenly rush in front of him.
Went. Smiling now
Said: "Two envoys, please rest assured. Although Sha Dan has rebelled long ago, he is still a vassal of the empire in name. Since he has not openly rebelled yet, he will definitely not break up with us. Moreover, the current situation in Jingzhou is indeed
It's very critical, so I
The commander must take a risk. Moreover, the number of our troops is not large. With a thousand cavalry, it is only 10,000 people. Sha Dan has a hundred thousand strong soldiers, so he will not take us seriously. We will detour around Lizhou and
Due to the bad roads between Cuizhou, it is not only necessary to
Two more days of delay and a long expedited march will also make the soldiers more tired. Maybe it is because of these two days that the bright and golden army has already reached the settlement of the nobles. This commander did this
, it’s also for the good of the nobles.”
Although the two envoys also understood the urgency of time, they understood better what kind of person Shadan was, and they still tried hard to persuade him: "The commander-in-chief does not know something. Shadan is not only arrogant, but also wants to achieve great goals."
The end justifies the means. Over the years, he has been hooking up with Jinhua, hoping that Jinhua can support him when he rebels against the country and becomes independent. Therefore, Shadan and Jinhua still have some friendship. So we'd better go around.
alright."
Dugu was shocked, but he still said with a cheerful face: "There are only 10,000 soldiers in our group, so it is not difficult to go around. But don't forget, there are 90,000 soldiers behind us. They
Carrying a large amount of logistical supplies, between Lizhou and Cuizhou
The road between them is difficult to walk. If they follow the detour, it will take at least five more days. And in five days, I am afraid that the bright and golden army will have trampled the settlement of the nobles to the ground.
Therefore, for the safety of the nobles, it is necessary to take appropriate risks."
"But." The two envoys were about to say that if something happened to you here, then our Keshui Tribe would really be doomed. But when the words came to their lips, they realized that they seemed to be very disrespectful to the commander in front of them, but they were also worried.
For the safety of this clan, the expression on his face suddenly became hesitant.
Seeing this, Dugu comforted them with a smile and said: "Don't worry, our Hetao army has strict military discipline and will never harass the local area along the way. In addition, we are just passing by, I believe Sha Dan will never refuse. So,
I will first send an envoy to visit Chief Shadan and tell him what I mean, hoping that he will let me go. What do you think?"
The two envoys looked at each other and had no choice but to look at each other helplessly. The fact that the other party could do this clearly gave them a lot of face. Moreover, what Dugu said was very reasonable. This would indeed save a lot of time.
When we were in Hetao, I heard that among the five generals, this man was the most helpless and rogue. But looking at Du Shuai's words and deeds today, he is not only approachable but also good at listening to more open opinions. It seems that hearsay is not enough.
When Dugu saw the appearance of the two envoys, he laughed and said: "The two envoys should lead the way. We are not familiar with southern Yunnan. If we go astray, we don't know how long it will be delayed.
"Zhou Jilong, are you ready for the horses that I asked you to prepare for the two envoys? They worked hard to lead us, we must not lose our etiquette,"
Zhou Jilong hurriedly ran up and said respectfully: "It has been prepared for a long time, right in front. Please invite the two envoys first, and the general will discuss the next march with the commander.
When the two envoys saw that Zhou Jilong had such a humble attitude, their impression of Hetao became even more favorable, so they smiled and nodded, and then, led by the soldiers, they walked towards the front of the team with satisfaction.
"Brother, why are we so polite to these two grandsons?" As soon as the two left, Zhou Jilong immediately resumed his gangster nature and asked Dugu. He is Dugu's sworn brother. When there are no outsiders,
He and Long Zhishan are both like this
This is how he calls Dugu. And Dugu obviously likes this title. In his own words, every time he hears this big brother, he can always think of his promising career as a bandit when he was in Luocao, Yizhou.
A glorious career journey.
Dugu curled his lips disdainfully: "You're welcome? Damn it, don't forget that our country is a country of etiquette. We are cultured and cultivated people. Even if someone is really a grandson, we must show our magnanimity. Do you understand?
?I have taught you a lesson many times.
, we must have quality and know etiquette. Besides, if we go south to southern Yunnan in the future, we must have these bumpkins who are familiar with the terrain to lead the way. If you didn't think of the great use of keeping them, do you think this commander is really just drinking tea?
Are you drunk and your head is burning?"
Zhou Jilong grinned and said: "Haha, I'm just saying, brother, why are you like this? Then do we really send people to Sha Dan?"
"Of course. We are a country of etiquette, and what we say must be counted. Well, let's ask two smarter brothers to go to Shadan first to say hello, and tell them that our Hetao army has been ordered by the imperial court to go south to fight against Jinhua.
The supplies required for the large army will be borne by the states and counties along the way. Anyone who does not cooperate can be regarded as colluding with foreign tribes and intending to treason and self-reliance.
People can be killed first and then reported. Remember, you must find a smarter brother. Well, we are a country of etiquette, so we must be implicit in what we say, but we must be able to express our thoughts and positions. However, there must be something in it.
It means a threat of force, and the scale must be grasped." Dugu touched his chin and said.
