Wu Song couldn't help but chuckle when he saw everyone was dumbfounded and looked like a bunch of old haters.
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Mr. Wu, you know more. Please tell me the history of these two wolf passes."
Wusong held the book in his right hand and made it into a roll. He patted it on his left hand and said with eight-character steps: "To talk about the history of the Two Lang Passes, we have to talk about the history of the Central Plains. It should be noted that the Central Plains are a farming and fighting people, while outside the Two Lang Passes there are nomadic people.
As a nation, the Central Plains nation has survived five thousand years and has remained standing. Although dynasties have changed, its culture is everlasting..."
"Ahem, cough...get to the point." Zhang Xiaowu reminded.
Zhao Suo also shouted: "I'm talking about powerful people, can you please stop telling us lies? What are you talking about?"
Wu Song said: "When telling a story, you have to tell the cause and effect." Seeing everyone staring at him, he had to raise his hands in surrender and said: "Okay, I will tell something close, close." He cleared his throat.
, coughed a few times, and then told the story of these two wolves.
According to ancient legends, a shocking earthquake tens of thousands of years ago caused the Yeheshan Mountains to break in the middle, and it was divided into the East Yeheshan Mountains and the West Yeheshan Mountains. In the center of the mountain rupture, there is a candied haws-like tree.
Ordinary valleys are called Two Wolf Valley by the common people. The exit of Two Wolf Valley on the south side is dozens of miles long, while the exit on the north side is only two miles wide. Since the Wangyou Dynasty of the Central Plains, successive monarchs have realized the significance of Two Wolf Valley.
Importance. No matter how the Central Plains dynasties changed, they always built pass fortresses on the north side of the Lianglang Valley to prevent the invasion of northern nomads.
Six hundred years ago, the Roland Empire used a strange method to break through the Two Wolf Pass and enter the Central Plains. Twenty years later, the Roland Empire was overthrown and the Two Wolf Pass fell into the hands of the slave army (Tartar people). The princes from all over the Central Plains were competing for hegemony. At this time,
During the weakest and most chaotic period of the Central Plains, known in history as the Sixteen Kingdoms Period, a businessman spent 500 taels of gold to actually purchase two Lang Passes from the Tartars.
The Chinese Empire unified the Central Plains, and the two wolves built the Two Wolf Fortress, which became an important pass to defend the north. The Chinese Empire had a short national destiny, with only four generations of emperors remaining in the 80s. Due to the thin blood of the royal family, the Zen family was located in the Li family of the Tiantang Empire. Although
Many historians believe that the descendants of the Ji family of the Chinese royal family should be cut off from the Li family of the Tiantang royal family, but there is no historical evidence, and this case has become an unsolved case in history.
One hundred and thirty years after the founding of the Tiantang Empire, the royal family gradually became stronger, which eventually led to the Eight Kings Rebellion. When the Li brothers killed each other, the princes from all over the country were unwilling to be left alone and competed for the Central Plains. After twenty years of fighting for hegemony, the Xuanyuan family of the Han Dynasty
Finally, the world was determined. At that time, the Murong family, who was sitting in the Liangliang Wolf Fortress, saw the general trend and declared allegiance to the King of Han. The Xuanyuan family finally unified the world and founded the Holy Han Empire.
Two hundred years ago during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Holy Han Dynasty, due to the decline of the Lianglanggu Fortress and constant harassment from the north, Emperor Jing rebuilt the fortress and renamed it Lianglangguan.
Inside Lianglangguan is a gourd-shaped city called Lianglangcheng. It is built on the mountain. On the east and west sides are the steep and difficult-to-climb Dongyehe Mountain and Xiyehe Mountain, which are hundreds of feet high. The southern end of the city is only two feet long.
The city wall has no defensive effect. The north wall is built against the mountain and is divided into an inner wall and an outer wall. The outer wall is six feet high, but the inner wall is ten feet high. The two walls are only eighty steps apart. If the outer wall is broken, the defenders will
Relying on the inner wall, the outer wall can be easily recaptured.
After two hundred years of construction by dozens of emperors of the Holy Han Empire, Lianglang Pass is now indestructible. Its only entrance and exit to the north is an iron gate weighing a thousand kilograms, controlled by a winch, and was built by Gongshu Yi, a master of machine learning two hundred years ago.
In order to prevent the Tartars from digging tunnels to enter the Lianglang Pass, Gongshuyi even dug twenty feet deep to build the foundation before building the Lianglang Pass. Under the Lianglang Pass are all extremely hard boulders. The same is true for the city walls of the Lianglang Pass.
It was repaired from pieces of "H" shaped stones. In the gaps, glutinous rice was used to make juice and clay was tamped, and then it was built layer by layer. In order to build this pass, the court spent tens of millions of taels of silver over two hundred years, and two Lang Passes were built.
It is said to be an unbreakable pass and the first pass in the world.
Although he knew that there was no unbreakable pass, Zhang Xiaowu, like everyone else, still expressed infinite emotion when faced with such a majestic and huge pass.
After submitting the application, Zhang Xiaowu and others walked through the nearly ten-foot-long city gate corridor, and then saw a stone wall blocking the interior of the barbican. They walked around the stone wall and were about to view the barbican, but suddenly saw a hundred people behind them who seemed to be pulled.
With a "dong" sound, he hit the stone wall at the entrance of Wengcheng, causing his head to be broken and bleeding, and he screamed in agony. Everyone was confused and saw a school captain and dozens of sergeants, all holding wooden sticks, stepping forward.
The man restrained him, then dragged him off the stone wall and took him away.
Zhang Xiaowu was puzzled and Wu Song said: "This stone wall is called the Wall of Respecting the Han Dynasty. It is carved from a huge magnet stone. If you do not respect the entry order and bring a weapon into the pass, the weapon will be destroyed by the stone wall."
Suck it up. This person must have been wearing iron armor and deserved to suffer this."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "No wonder the wolf guards didn't check whether our armors were carrying weapons when we entered the city. It turns out there are such sacred objects here."
Wu Song said: "It is said that Gongshuyi spent his whole life to find this wall of respecting the Han Dynasty in the four seas. Emperor Jing originally planned to put it in Longdu. But before his death, he regretted it and said that the country was ruined. How can we build a home, so he put the wall of respecting the Han Dynasty."
The wall was moved to the Lianglangguan Pass."
"I have a plan to break through this wall." Zhang Xiaowu said suddenly. Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Zhang Xiaowu touched the magnet wall and said, "It's just that this wall of respecting the Han Dynasty can absorb iron, but not copper. If you turn copper coins into copper,
Blade, this wall is completely useless."
Wusong was startled, thoughtful, and said with a wry smile: "A copper blade is easy to break, but it's not as good as an iron blade."
Zhang Xiaowu pointed at the Wengcheng and said: "Look at the Wengcheng, the soldiers are just armed with long sticks. If three thousand dog barbarians charge in with copper knives, can the wolf guards resist it?"
Maybe they were speaking a little too loudly. The captain holding a wooden stick raised his head when he heard the sound and walked over aggressively. Everyone suddenly became nervous. This is not Saibei, let alone Mucheng. The reputation of the Death Soldier Camp is completely useless here.
.
Zhang Xiaowu was not afraid. He raised his head and looked at the captain calmly. The captain looked Zhang Xiaowu up and down and asked with interest: "You are a very knowledgeable young general. How come you are confident in breaking through the two wolves' pass?"
?”
Zhang Xiaowu bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "Sir, the official is simulating how to break through the barrier. I think the wolf guard must have simulated the dog barbarian's strategy of breaking through the barrier many times in response. The official has really made a fool of himself."
The captain smiled, looked into his eyes and said, "I remember you."
The siege of Lianglangguan is not large, but due to the tall walls on both sides, there is no sunlight all day long in the Wengcheng, giving people a cold and cold feeling. Even now in midsummer, the Wengcheng is still chilly. Zhang Xiaowu noticed that there are some places that are relatively cold.
It is muddy and wet, probably because of poor drainage here, but fortunately, this place is located in the north of the Great Wall, and there is not much rain in the season, so it will not cause flooding in the Wengcheng.
There are three gates on the inner wall of Lianglangguan, but they are not made of pig iron like the outer gates. They are just ordinary thick wooden doors that close on the left and right, and are guarded by a team of Wolf Guard soldiers. After the inner city is the Wolf Guard barracks, with many
The soldiers of the Wolf Guard have guarded the Two Wolf Pass for generations, so only soldiers live in the Wolf Guard camp. The generals and officers still live in their own homes in the Two Wolf City. The reason why the Two Wolf City was built was to serve the Wolf Guard, and because
Lianglang Pass is the only pass in and out of the northern part of the Great Wall and the Central Plains, so almost all warehouses and trading companies in the world have set up branches here. Han Chinese who go to seek life outside the pass and foreigners who want to prosper in the Central Plains must be prepared here. The natural geographical location creates
Seeing the prosperity of the Two Wolf Cities, everyone passed the Wolf Guard Barracks and finally saw the bustling people and merchants coming and going.
Several merchants holding pack horses shouted: "Go to Langguan, go to Langguan!" This is the unique call sign of the caravan leaving the fortress, and they use it to find their companions. The frontier fortress is bitterly cold, coupled with the presence of sand bandits.
There are always wolves, and a caravan is often in extreme danger, so there is this call sign method that is widely advertised to join each other. After a while, another caravan also called back, and the two groups of caravans got together to discuss what to do.
After getting out of the fortress, I found out that he was a fellow from Shouzhou while talking, and I became even more enthusiastic.
The sound of chants coming out of the fortress, the sound of vendors selling goods, and the chatter and laughter of people on the street constitute a vivid picture of the daily life of the people in Two Wolf City. Zhang Xiaowu and others who have been in the grassland for a long time only feel that there is a strong atmosphere of life, and every face is full of life.
Everyone was laughing.
The group of people walked for a while and saw many brothels, casinos, pawnshops, inns, shops, and especially many theater troupes gathered here to perform. Several theater troupes built stages, and famous actors took turns performing on the stage. The people in the audience
There was a roar of applause, and some people cried and laughed excitedly, making the road impassable.
Wang Yijin inquired and learned that it was General Zhenxi who was the commander of the White Tiger Army. Dushan Boye liked to listen to operas, so he also let the sergeants listen to the operas in their spare time, so that many opera troupes came here to make a living. In recent days, Ye Xiangdong
The general held a Fengming Banquet in the city and invited the top ten famous opera singers in the world to perform. It can be said that everyone who participated in the Fengming Banquet was one of the top ten famous opera singers in the world. Therefore, more and more opera troupes came here, and more and more opera troupes came here.
The more famous it became, the more prosperous the city became, and many young men from Longdu and players from all over the country came to join in the fun.
After hearing Wang Yijin's introduction, Zhang Xiaowu laughed and said that this is another Alxa Heroes Association. Uncle Ye is really good at playing. He must have been a romantic figure when he was young.
It was already noon, and everyone was a little hungry, so Zhang Xiaowu and others went to an inn to order food. More than thirty people were dressed very simply, but the food they ordered was not simple. The dead soldiers camp had some money in hand.
, it was the first time for everyone to follow Zhang Xiaowu into the city, so he ordered delicacies to his heart's content, such as pan-fried fish, sweet and sour fish, braised pork, butter chicken, mohu cakes, roasted suckling goat, milk tofu, drunken dried fish, fragrant (dog)
Broth, fried meatballs, etc., rice also became rice.
Everyone surrounded the four tables, staring directly at the waiter who kept serving food, and everyone kept swallowing their saliva, not even paying attention to what was happening around them.
