So a few days later, under the witness of a censor from Yushitaiyuan and a direct bachelor of the South Hall of the Privy Council who signed the letter, the Xijing branch held a meeting under the city wall at the southwest corner of Chang'an.
After a brief and low-key swearing-in ceremony, Jiang Tian led a battalion of troops and set off.
Then, passing through Qizhou Zhouzhi territory in the southwest of Gyeonggi Province, they met the soldiers from Gangu and Fengshan military prefectures, each with one battalion (700/800 people) and well-equipped soldiers who were ordered to join and cooperate. After passing Luokukou, they again
Join the two regiments of Youjinwu Guards stationed here (240/300 people).
Therefore, after entering Luogu Road, Jiang Dan's command had gathered 3,000 men and horses, as well as hundreds of carriages and horses loaded with equipment and food. In this way, even if there were any traps or ambushes along the way, they could rely entirely on the army's force.
Power, to bulldoze and crush past.
Of course, this was also the first time Jiang Tian led an army in this time and space, so he specifically requested the Privy Council to appoint a deputy with rich military experience. Of course he did not lack the experience of leading an army. In fact, in another time and space, almost all
We are about to conquer half of the Kingdom of Zealand.
However, since he could take advantage of others and enjoy his leisure time, why should he bother himself with everything, or go to great lengths to grasp every detail? Therefore, he regarded his trip south more as an armed parade-style relaxation.
And carefully observe the scenery along the way.
As the saying goes, Li Bai has a poem that says: The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the sky. This is probably a reflection of his inner thoughts when he left Shu and traveled to the capital. However, nowadays, it seems that the legendary road to Shu is difficult to reach the sky.
Going to the blue sky is obviously not worthy of its name.
Because this Luogu Road was the main route used by Liang Gongji, the predecessor of the time traveler, to counter attack the pass. It was also the first to be widened and rebuilt with all possible efforts. Therefore, Jiang Tian is now traveling on a two-foot-long road.
A straight road that is wide enough to allow multiple carriages to travel in parallel.
On the mountain walls with lush vegetation on the roadside, you can vaguely see the large traces of the mountains that were blasted with gunpowder and then peeled off by the hot and cold shrinkage method. These peeled off rocks, large and small, have become
It formed the current Luogu Road and was part of the roadbed above the valley river bed.
Therefore, the roadbed of the Luogu Straight Road is built on the base of these rocks, with more gravel and pebbles used as fillers; then, several layers of Sanhe soil with different textures are laid and compacted; and finally, the original raw material called gypsum is used.
A cement mixture that spreads thickly and hardens the surface.
Therefore, after more than a hundred years of repeated use, the overall road structure is still as solid as ever; only some edges have traces of minor repairs. In addition, the most conspicuous scenery along the road is that the distances between the roots are unequal.
Telegraph pole with cables wrapped around it.
As one of the pillars of the Tang Dynasty's heyday during the century-old period of Zhongxing, it was able to control the thirty-six provinces of the world and more than a dozen large and small governors and governor's offices. Relying on this original wired telegraph network system known as the "Tian Luo Di Net", it is possible to achieve "
He heard about the South China Sea in the morning and arrived in the capital in the evening."
And it is divided into two sets of military and political snare systems. One is the big snare system under the control of the General Affairs Department, which covers thousands of military states in the world, and even some famous cities and towns;
Xiao Luo Net; two sets of local communication networks that coexist and are connected in parallel.
In addition, together with the dotted telegraph network, Zhi/Chi Road travels across mountains and rivers to every city in the world, as well as the supporting semi-full-time Cao camp/road guard system. Therefore, as long as the Zhi/Chi Road passes,
Indispensable are these long and winding cable poles along the way.
Among them, the straight road is a fast carriageway with a hardened road surface made of local mine waste, slag, asphalt, gravel and other materials as the foundation, cemented with gypsum/original cement; while the Chi Road is more common in flat and open areas, with
Horse-drawn carriage track made of hardwood and reinforced with iron.
Therefore, compared with the vast silence of Baoxie Valley where apes and birds were frightened, Luogu Road is actually extremely busy and lively. Not only are all kinds of pedestrians and business travelers coming and going, but along the way there is a shop for three miles, a house for five miles, a post for ten miles, and two
There is one pavilion for ten miles; it is full of people, noisy and noisy.
Moreover, after most people saw the large army of officers and soldiers led by Jiang Tian, they did not show much surprise or panic; instead, they hid on the roadside one after another, pointing and talking without hesitation.
It seems that this kind of situation has already happened frequently.
Jiang Tian can even see that on the mountain wall, where the ancient volleying plank road was originally abandoned, layers of pavilions and pavilions were built according to the mountain topography; or on the rivers flowing in the valleys, they were built across them.
The spacious covered bridge, as well as the small and wild markets gathered in and around the covered bridge.
Walking on the road, from time to time you can see the poems and essays carved on the rocks, such as those of poets Bai Juyi, Cen Shen, Yuan Zhen, Han Cong, Cui Jin, etc., with many well-known or unknown poems.
The latecomers followed suit and left inscriptions, which are known as Shiya's characteristic scenery.
Starting from Luogu Station in Zhouzhi County, we passed non-stop all the way through: Cherry Station with mountains full of wild cherries, Gushui, Heishui, the intersection of Sanjiao Station, Luogu Pass in a narrow corner of the mountains, Linguan Station, Xushui Station, Dawang Station, and Liyuanzhai
, Huayangguan, Huihe Town...
When we finally arrived at Zhenfu County in Yangzhou on Shannan West Road, it only took a day and a half. Then, we replenished water from Baicaoyi in Zhenfu County and turned southwest to Xingyuan Prefecture; it only took about a day and a half.
In half a day, we arrived at Nanzheng Dacheng, where the Xingyuan Prefecture is located.
As one of the two most important capitals and sixteen prefectures in the world, Nanzheng, located in the Hanzhong Plain/Basin, is undoubtedly a typical prosperous city; with its city gates wide open and business travelers flowing in, it seems that it has not been affected by
, the impact and ramifications of the previous failure of the patrol censor to enter the mountains for crusade.
However, only after meeting several civil and military officials below Lu Fuguang, Shaoyin of Xingyuan Prefecture, who came out to greet them in person, could they feel such a trace of tension and worry from their words; and in Jiang Tian
Prior to arrival, several local armies had been reassembled.
After all, Xingyuan Prefecture is not only one of the sixteen direct-governed prefectures in the world, but also the governor's office of Shannan West Road. It is responsible for administration, transportation, inspection, and envoys, and also includes the county government of Nanzheng County. Therefore,
In official circles, it is commonly known as a city with seven offices, a place full of evil.
Therefore, in just a short period of time, according to the order of the Governor's Office of Shannan West Road, seven or eight counties, including the neighboring Baocheng and Xi County, were gathered to train volunteers and garrison soldiers; to strengthen the local
Guard and patrol, and wait for the next instructions from the court.
Therefore, when Jiang Tian led his troops to the local area, it was logical that he temporarily took over the command of these troops. However, Jiang Tian did not put much hope in them; instead, he only ordered the construction of fortifications and sentry towers around the local mountainous area.
Set up several cordons and lines of defense.
In fact, while galloping on the straight road in Luogu Road, Jiang Tian also received news from Shannan West Road one after another. A large part of it was the inside story surrounding the failure of the expedition into the mountains; and then basically attributed the main responsibility to,
On the patrol censor who led the army to search the mountains.
Because, after the patrol censor found out about the gathering of a large group of wild beasts, he actually adopted the strategy of dividing his troops into five areas, with four of them advancing in parallel and one in the rear. In this way, as long as one of the enemy encountered enemies along the way, he could attack them on the spot.
Send a signal for reinforcements and gather other troops to attack.
The problem is that he obviously forgot that what he was facing was not ordinary rebels or thieves; but alien beasts and ghosts that could be ignored and ignored to a certain extent, influenced by the mountain jungle. Then they were defeated by the aliens one after another.
; In the end, you can also take a roundabout way and break through the main formation.
It can be said that the Zuo Xiaowei soldiers, the most elite group of the local army, were left by his side for protection. As a result, they followed him and hurriedly exited the mountainous area without even firing an arrow against the enemy. And his only correct decision in the end was,
It means building a fortified city at the mountain pass.
However, in Xingyuan Prefecture, Yangzhou, Xingzhou, and Fengzhou, there have been some sporadic reports of the appearance and activities of strange beasts. For a time, several counties close to the mountainous areas were inevitably shaken by the noise of the wind and the chaos of the grass and trees.
, and rumors spread.
In this strange and tense atmosphere, Jiang Tian also met the deputy assigned by the Privy Council, who came from Lizhou day and night to join him, a general who is said to be familiar with the local situation and has rich military experience. "
Pang Xun, the general of Daoningwu Town in Shanxi Province, is here to supervise the constitution."
That's all for now, maybe there will be more at night
