Yashan is more than 100 feet high and is made up of seven peaks rising one after another. At the foot of the mountain are nearly 10,000 acres of fertile farmland. When the Holy Han Dynasty and Tarta reconciled, hundreds of thousands of Han people immigrated here. They found this land of benefit
The land was planted, so river embankments were built, and a golden city was built by the river. From then on, this place became a large granary of Tartar, supporting hundreds of thousands of people on the grassland, and was known as the Crow's Gold Granary.
The holy mountain of Tatar is Canglang Mountain, and the capital of Khan is Yanzi City, but they are both barren lands. In the entire Saibei Wasteland, only Jincheng has fertile land and produces rich grains. Moreover, due to the large-scale immigration of Han people, Jincheng's tax revenue has increased sharply, and Jincheng has become more and more beautiful.
It is the granary and the money bag of the Tartar Khanate. The southern Tartar chiefs discriminated against the poor of other Tartar tribes because of their wealth. Other Tartar tribes also wanted a share of the pie, but the Southern Tartar tribe refused. This triggered
This war has ended. In fact, if there is no such thing as a strong plan, there will be other people who will be jealous of the golden land of Golden City.
Looking at the vast stretch of ten thousand acres of fertile land, Zhang Xiaowu was shocked and said: "No wonder the army does not need to prepare a large amount of food from the rear for the expedition. It turns out that the Yaojin Granary is so spectacular." This ten thousand acres of fertile land has quickly caught up with Zhang Xiaowu's life.
The Beidacang on Earth is the largest. But last year, a large number of Han people were killed. This year, only half of the land in the Yaojin Granary was planted with crops, and the rest was abandoned.
Some farmers were driving away insects in the fields. When they saw the Han army flag in the distance, they felt relieved and continued farming.
Wu Song said: "The food in Jincheng is enough to feed millions of people for a year, so the Holy Han will definitely control this place."
Zhang Xiaowu sighed and said: "It is precisely because Jincheng is a battleground for military strategists that our Tucheng will be abandoned. You think so."
Wusong knew something about Zhang Xiaowu and knew that he was brooding over the Battle of Tucheng, but he didn't know how to comfort him. After a while, he said: "Wuhuan marched eastward for the Crow Gold Granary. The Northern Tartar people will regret it sooner or later if they lead the wolf into the house.
"
There is a beech forest in front of the Yashan Camp. Apart from the beech trees, there are raised graves and tombstones. There are only names on the tombstones and nothing else. The scouts who came to meet them told everyone that this place is full of holy Han sergeants who died on the front line.
The military counselor Gu Yong named this forest Zhonglie Forest, where he cut off the heads of two thousand Northern Tartar prisoners to build a mountain of human heads to commemorate the tens of thousands of people who were massacred in the Golden City and the soldiers who died in battle.
Those with names will have their names engraved on the tombstones, and those without names will have their names on the beech trees.
When Zhang Xiaowu and others passed through the beech forest, they saw the white pagoda built with human heads as the foundation. They couldn't help but feel a shiver in their hearts and became even more interested in this famous military advisor Gu.
Emperor Gu Yong was a relative of a noble family. He was good at both civil and martial arts since he was a child. He passed the imperial examination at the age of eighteen. When he first entered the battlefield, he killed six enemy generals in a row. However, he was ambushed and was almost shot through the heart with an arrow. He was in a coma for seven days before waking up.
After recovering from his injury, Gu Yong suffered from asthma and could not gallop to kill the enemy. Gu Yong did not give up on himself because of this. He turned to take part in the imperial examination. At the age of twenty-six, he won three yuan in a row and won the first prize in Wen Dynasty. I don't know how many literati students envied him.
Gu Yong also became the only scholar in the history of the Central Plains to be both civil and military champions. Emperor Taiqian was overjoyed and named Gu Yong the imperial envoy of the Hanlin Academy. Gu Yong stayed with Emperor Taiqian for ten years and gradually became Emperor Taiqian's first think tank. Gu Yong later served as emperor.
The prince Shaobao, the official minister Wailang, and the military minister Zuo Shilang. The current crown prince Xuanyuan Zixun is Gu Yong's nephew, and the prince's biological mother and concubine is Gu Yong's cousin, so Gu Yong is the number one princeling in the world.
"Sir, Military Master Gu kills people much more ruthlessly than you." Xiao Kai said.
Zhang Xiaowu said calmly: "Martial men can only kill a thousand people, while literati can kill all the people in the world." A cold light flashed in his eyes, and his tone became calmer: "The injury to Tucheng must have a lot to do with Gu Yong."
Xiao Kai hurriedly reminded: "Sir, be careful, Tucheng is taboo for the Qinglong Army."
"Hmph." Zhang Xiaowu said, "If you don't say it, don't people remember it in their hearts? Tucheng and the princelings conspired to murder her! They have a share in my wife's hatred!"
Everyone was silent, this was a family scandal and private hatred, and it was difficult for others to advise. However, Shen Lindong didn't know why. When everyone continued to move forward, he rode closer to Xiao Kai. Although he had opposed Zhang Xiaowu before, he did not target others.
Xiao Kai was also respectful, so he took the opportunity to ask about the reason. Xiao Kai told him what he knew, and Shen Lindong sighed: "If I have such a big hatred, I will kill myself to avenge him."
Although it was noon, the Forest of Heroes was dark and cold. Zhang Xiaowu couldn't help but rush through it, throwing up dust. Looking back at the old forest, where the mist was everywhere, Zhang Xiaowu felt a little sad and wanton in his heart. There was still a place to bury the bones of the fallen soldiers in Yashan Jincheng, but the soil
Where are the bones of the dead defenders and massacred civilians in the city?
When he thought of Pao Ze, who cared for him endlessly but sacrificed his life, and of those ordinary smiling faces in Tucheng, Zhang Xiaowu became more and more resentful of the crown prince.
Yashan and Jincheng were only ten miles apart. During this period, there were several Han army camps, but the soldiers did not see the sergeants training. In the rice fields, some soldiers were weeding and killing insects. They were so happy. There was no smell of war. Xiao Kai then asked:
"The former army shouldn't be so lazy that they can't even do daily drills?"
Hu Lidao: "They were beaten to the point of losing their souls. They are a bunch of drunkards. When I was here, I already knew they were useless. Let me tell you."
Grandfather Maodao said: "After a vigorous effort, it failed again and again. I arrived here in October last year and waited for a year before the decisive battle. This not only gave the Inuyi time to repair, but also gave them time to assemble."
Zhang Xiaowu sneered several times and said: "Continue on your way."
The generals hurriedly said: "Here."
Arriving at the Qinglong Army camp at the foot of Yashan Mountain, the Dead Soldiers Battalion sent an ultimatum, and soon someone came to accept the soldiers.
The task of escorting three thousand soldiers was successfully completed. The dead soldier battalion replenished food and water and prepared to return to Mucheng. At this time, military advisor Gu Yong sent someone to deliver the mission and urgently summoned the sixth regiment of the dead soldier battalion to rush to Jincheng. So everyone
Go to Jincheng Station immediately.
Along the official road, nine hundred soldiers from the Dead Soldier Battalion arrived at the foot of Jincheng City. Wu Song then talked about the history of Jincheng. In order to supply tens of thousands of acres of fertile farmland with water conservancy, Emperor Taigan ordered the construction of a dike on the south bank of the Jialan River.
Jincheng was built next to it. Now Jincheng Camp and Yashan Camp are the horns of each other supporting each other, and Quan Yi has nothing to do about it.
After submitting to Guan Die, the dead soldiers entered the city and rushed to the garrison station as required. Zhang Xiaowu saw that there were almost no people in the city due to the depression, and after walking two streets, everyone saw the first child. Zu Gongmao said: "
After the Northern Tartars moved south, they first occupied Jincheng and killed almost all the Han men in the city. When I conquered Jincheng with the army last year, General Gu ordered that all the Tartar people who had immigrated here be killed as revenge."
Hu Lidao: "After all, Military Master Gu is a warrior and has a strong desire to kill."
Jincheng was massacred twice, so that there were very few people in the city. Everyone walked along the desolate streets to the Tunjun Station to take a rest.
Jincheng Post stood near the west gate of Jincheng. The postmaster was a young officer about thirty years old. After talking, Zhang Xiaowu discovered that the two were fellow villagers of Yongzhou. The postmaster named Wang Pi said that he had also offended someone, so he was arrested.
He was sent to Jincheng Station. In the future, the army will withdraw to the Central Plains, and he must stay here.
"You will be the city lord in the future." Zhang Xiaowu joked.
