The place where Lijun Basin and Ganyuan Basin connect is different from the canyon landform imagined by Luochuan, but an extremely open plain. It just seems a bit narrow compared to the thousands of miles of vastness in the hinterland of these two basins, but this area
The distance between the mountains at both ends of the area to the nearest point is more than two hundred miles.
So when Luochuan and his convoy went north to repair the Liangjie Village Station next to the official road, they climbed up a mound and looked east and west at Luochuan, but they didn't even see the shadow of a mountain.
After descending the hill to Luochuan, escorted by a group of palace guards, we went to sit down in a pavilion beside the official road outside the post station. The pavilion was much higher than the official road, and it was a good place with a wide view.
An old coachman and a beautiful woman whose face was covered with white gauze came with him, so he asked the palace guards to go further away, leaving room for the three of them to talk.
"It looks like the Ganyuan Basin and the Lijun Basin are just one body," Luo Chuan leaned on a pavilion pillar and pointed at the official road not far away and the fertile fields in the surroundings. "If even the villages in these two realms are
If the journey is smooth, there is really no need to separate these two places from each other."
"From the perspective of the art of war, nature is one. Isn't that why there is no big city in these two realms?" The old coachman stood at the entrance of the pavilion and watched the farmers in the distance busy planting a crop of vegetables, "
But the people in the two places don't feel that they are from the same side. After passing the two villages, if the farmers on the other side want to go to a market, they probably won't want to come to the closer Xiashan Town on the other side, but would rather go
We have to go further to Hongzao Town in the north. After all, even if the dialect is not very different, we will be regarded as an outsider, right?"
Luo Chuan smiled and shook his head. He didn't quite understand these small feelings in the countryside. "I haven't been to Lijun before. I feel that there are Western Yi in the west and Nanyi in the south. There are endless wars all year round. The lives of ordinary people should be lived here."
It was extremely painful, but I didn’t expect that the people living in these two plains were quite comfortable, and the governor’s ability to govern one area was not bad at all.”
The old coachman stretched out his hand and patted the pavilion pillar and said with emotion, "In fact, in terms of political performance alone, it would definitely be considered promising to compare him with the previous prefects of Lijun. When I took you to leave Lijun, this place had just experienced
During the years when power changed, the Southern Yi and the Western Yi took the opportunity to invade. Many good men died in battle. Even in the hinterland of Li County, several places were reduced to scorched earth under the anger of the great demon. The tragedy is really indescribable. You can
You were still young at that time, and I took you all the way north to Zhongjing City. What you saw and heard was full of devastation, and I still felt desolate in my heart..."
He smiled self-deprecatingly and continued, "But when I came back this time, even though I had already learned a little about it from letters from friends in the past, when I really saw the peaceful and prosperous scene in my county, I still couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
..." When he said this, he seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, "In just a few years, this Lijun foreigner had such a look after temporarily recuperating, and he was among them.
Needless to say, the hard work he put in, even though I still have resentment about some old things in my heart, I have to admit that he is an excellent prefect, what a pity...a pity..."
"A good governor in the prosperous times may not be so good in troubled times," the beautiful woman who had been sitting quietly listening suddenly said, "The gentleness in Luo Tianen's bones not only gave people around him, but also
To the people of Li County, he can indeed be regarded as a good governor."
Luochuan looked at the beautiful woman and asked, "What about Xiyi and Nanyi?"
Hearing this, the beautiful woman turned her head and glanced at Luochuan. The faint smile on the corner of her mouth under the white gauze was hard to understand. She only felt a slight chill. "No hunter wants his prey to be weak and injured. Someone will stand up."
Wouldn’t it be nice to fatten them up?”
Luo Chuan couldn't help curling his lips, no longer paying attention to the beautiful woman but looking at the old coachman, "Cangyan has rarely fought in recent years? Is it because the battle more than ten years ago was too brutal?"
The old coachman shook his head, "Nan Yi must have really put some thought into that battle. There were constant battles on the southern battlefield, especially in Baitong City, which is closer to the mountainous area. Street fighting has already begun. The elites of both sides came out to kill.
Blood flowed like a river until Wangchuan Sword Cultivator rushed to help... Nowadays, the wars in the southern battlefield can be regarded as the continuation of the hatred of that war, but that time, Xiyi was only huge, and Xigu
There were tens of thousands of soldiers outside the pass, but they only fought a few hasty battles before withdrawing. In the past ten years, except for the occasional demon clan crossing the border to harass the Yanbian area, there have been no major battles in the Cangyan area."
"Ten tens of thousands of soldiers?!" Luo Chuan's eyes widened, "The number of Xiyi monsters is actually so huge?!" "Of course not all the tens of thousands of people are monsters, otherwise how could Xigu Pass be defended?
," the old coachman glared at Luochuan angrily and said, "They are the human army raised by Xiyi. Their battle formation capabilities are ordinary, but the fox monsters hidden in the battle formation are all secretive and powerful. They look similar to
Humans are no different. When the two armies are fighting, it is impossible to prevent violence and killing."
Luochuan nodded, but the beautiful woman didn't react at all.
Just when the three of them were silent, an army marched from a distance above the official road in the north.
The army was led by cavalry and mainly infantry, and also carried vehicles and baggage. The queue of thousands of people was very long. The infantry was divided into four columns. It only occupied nearly half of the spacious official road and did not affect the movement of vehicles and horses.
The army was not marching very fast. As we got closer, we could see that there were only two hundred cavalry in the lead. Their equipment level was similar to that of the Shangyuan Army cavalry who escorted Luochuan back to Li City, and far inferior to the five Li County troops led by Li Mu.
Light cavalry, not to mention the hundred blood cavalry currently being repaired at the inn.
The equipment of the thousands of infantry is quite good. They have complete armor, swords and bows. The thousands of people walking in the front are also equipped with long spears. However, the team is not very orderly in marching. Some of the long spears are held up and some are shouldered.
, it didn’t drag it to the ground, it can only be said to be unsatisfactory.
The old coachman glanced at the military appearance and couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Huh, that old general Zhong is probably too old to get out of bed. Such an army may not be able to win against the Ganyuan beast tide.
It’s really time to throw it into the southern battlefield and practice!”
Luo Chuan just watched silently, waiting until the army passed by the pavilion and disappeared before he looked back and said to himself, "This is already the second group of troops I have seen along the way, but this level of troop mobilization...
..."
The old coachman sat next to Luo Chuan and glanced at him and said, "To mobilize troops from Ganyuan to Taiming City, their marching speed will take nearly twenty days. The marching speed of the troops heading north from Taiming City must be very fast.
"Small, but it will take a few days for the first group of teams to arrive at Ganyuan City. If we go slower, we might still encounter each other," he snorted again, "That's the real thing about my Li County."
Elite soldiers."
"Yes," Luo Chuan sighed, "Those who have not walked off the battlefield will probably never be called elite soldiers," he looked at Nanfang Guandao.
Several cavalrymen were galloping over, and the leader was none other than Li Mu.
