The cunning thief holds the supreme, and his destiny is in his own hands.
How do you know that Gaodiye started in Huanghuang Han Dynasty
—I am the dividing line —
On the upper reaches of the Hanjiang River between Qinling and Daba Mountains, the white and yellowed plains of the Hanzhong Plain surrounded by mountains are already full of the unique taste of early winter. Occasionally, you can also see the corpse on the side of the road to death, or the stiff starvation in the dry ditch, which shows the tragedy that has happened in the ancients called the "land of fish and rice, the home of national treasures".
As the heartland of the Hanzhong Plain, Liangzhouzhi was located in Nanzheng City (now the east of Hanzhong City, Shaanxi). Amidst the whirlwind of the cold wind, a group of men and horses passed lightly. As the leader of the embroidered robe general, he is now the official historian of the imperial court. Huang Hao, the economic envoy of Longnan, did not go to the residence of the mansion but came to the former residence of the Nanzheng King.
Then, amidst the busy announcements from the left and right, and the sound of the flying dogs jumping, the Da Ma Jindao went straight into the room; after crossing many corridors, pavilions, artificial hills, flowers and stones, he came to the legitimate silk and bamboo melodious, and it was mixed with piercing ears. At the scene of the banquet under the waterside hall of laughter, only a few military academies' expressions stopped.
Seeing the top position of the banquet, since settled down in Nanzheng City, the former Xin Dynasty Daqi Taiwei and Shang Shuling, who have been drinking banquets and having fun all day long, have grown a circle, and now the Li Tang court’s volunteer army Jiedushi, Shangshu from the Criminal Department of the Procuratorate, and Shangrang, the general of the guard, greeted each other eagerly:
"Brother Hao is back, don't hesitate to have a confession with me..."
"Manager, if the capital of Shu wants to make troops, then why should you and I call yourselves..."
Huang Hao, with a somewhat irritable expression, came straight to the point:
"Since it's taking advantage of the trend..."
Shang Rang disapproved of Miki and let go of her arms:
"Following the trend, it's so light! What if you want to drive me to take the lead? Is it the manager who wants to go with it?"
Huang Hao frowned helplessly:
"Why not? As long as the southern side can come up with a sufficient price, what is the pioneering point? When the first break with the Guannei side, isn't it because the swordsman has long seen it again?"
Shang Rang was the self-consciously probing Miki, who was trembling with the flowers, and said without looking back:
"Is it possible that in this matter, you can't help but can't help the people under you... Need my help?"
"Is the manager joking? Don't you know that there is a reason for the cold of the lips and the teeth? When the three rivers and horses move, how is my Longnan four prefectures the first to bear the brunt? Is it possible that once the soldiers leave the pass, they can rest assured that the manager can control the way and conceal Is it a threat?"
Huang Hao suddenly felt cold and a little bit distressed and said:
"It's natural to say that this is the truth, but what can be done? I don't know what Shiro's ideas and regulations are, how can I teach it?"
Shang Rang spread out with his hands soaked in powder:
"Naturally, the united forces are right. As long as Longnan and Xingyuan can work together to do their best, pull out the momentum of 50,000 victorious soldiers to rely on the mountain, it will be difficult for the capital of Shu to press too much!"
Huang Hao said decisively:
"Allied soldiers, it's also a way; it's just that Xingyuan is still in ruins, and it will take some time to requisition the place. I will first allocate five thousand stone valleys and six thousand horses of silk; and then ask the department to stay in Xing first. Xingcheng Pass at Jinniu Crossing (now south of Lueyang County, Shaanxi), just in case?"
After letting the unconscious feel the thighs of the woman next to him for a moment, he replied without hesitation:
"The two roads of Jinniu and Micang, you and I keep the same way, not only echo each other, but also can advance and retreat together with Shu!"
However, I initially got the answer I wanted, and declined the invitation to continue the banquet and retention. After that, Huang Hao and his entourage disappeared completely, and then someone asked carefully when the banquet had been cold but forcibly resumed. :
"Manager, is it possible to make this Huang Si child so satisfied?"
"This is just Huang Shilang's tentative method, to see if I have already hooked up with the capital of Shu, and if I can take advantage of it..."
Shang Rang, with obvious eye bags and a little swelling on his face, said lightly:
"Next, Haosheng and I will stare at his every move in the city, and see anyone in private, or if he is dealing with the book, he must report it quickly... The big event is now, but there is no room for double-hearted stubbornness. I'm a disciple... just wait for him to bring in troops to the meeting..."
"Since Lao Shang didn't want to make progress after Xingyuan settled down, there is still a fluke in treating the court, so I have to protect myself..."
And among the teams returning to the temporary station in the city, Huang Hao also said to his left and right confidants:
"Now the Tianxiong Army near Longnan is ready to move, and the Qishan Road is also likely to move southward at any time. In addition, the attitude of the old man here in Xingyuan Mansion is unclear. By then, my generation will be the best of the net swim fish. It's overwhelming, do you really want to go with the remnants of Xifan as Wu Gouquan?"
"Be the only one to follow!"
The left and right sides also responded:
—I am the dividing line of each thought —
And at the northwest gate of Guanzhongland, in the city of Xiaoguanguan at the exit of the upper reaches of the Jinghe Valley, there are already snow flakes all over the sky, covering the gloomy and misty world with a white silk like brocade. .
And in this kind of white tone that does not completely cover all the rocks, trees and city buildings, but reveals a little mottled white tone, the oldest and most experienced old man of the Daqi New Dynasty, Gai Hong, is also patrolling the newly repaired city. The head was squatting, and they urged and urged those soldiers who were huddled up and lazy because of the cold to return to their positions.
Although it was said that King Huang had appointed him the full power to prepare for the enemy, since he returned and settled in Xiaoguan, the corresponding preparations for the armed forces have not proceeded so smoothly. First of all, after the army of Huang Wang drove away, the local army generals who stayed behind began to lose track of slack and negligence.
Therefore, when he was able to escape from the chaotic situation in Chang'an again, with a back-up team and a large amount of supplies, when he returned to his far away post; he unexpectedly found the inner and outer Guancheng of Xiaoguan and the attached Shiduozhai. Fortresses, fortresses, and outposts, all because of the frequent escapes in the army these days, there are a lot of vacancies.
Then, I counted the decent equipment and food reserves on the books, and found a lot of unexplained deficiencies and defects; and they were able to release the two daily meals and three wartime meals in the hands of the remaining soldiers. It is also mixed with a lot of chaff, grass stems and sand.
This result made him involuntarily furious with the Da Suo army, executed hundreds of people, including the old camp brothers he once trusted and the treasurer from the township party, and distributed the rice cloths he brought. Only to stabilize the precarious morale and possible disintegration of these thousands of disabled soldiers.
Fortunately, during this period, the people from the Hexi and Longyou clan towns did not attack after all, otherwise it would be hard for him to imagine what situation and consequences he would encounter? Therefore, due to this sense of crisis, he spared no effort to step up his exercises and race against time to repair the city defense, on the other hand, he is also working hard to request and accumulate supplies.
At this time, Zhao Zhang, the servant who had already gathered people in the Guantian and presided over the construction of various projects, provided him with some human and material help; not only did he replenish him with more than 2,000 new pawns (Qing Qing). Zhuang), and also sent more than 10,000 thick and thin woods that can be used to build city walls and barriers.
However, under the urging of the three orders and five applications from Chang'an, the towns of Jufang, Yingning, and Fengxiang that were re-surrendered also recruited more than a thousand to hundreds of soldiers; and then some old and new ones from the Chang'an Arsenal. Yi's equipment and military resources, and even the Yellow King asked to escort him over the pool of salt in the hundreds of stone rivers, which also made the situation in his hands slowly improve.
But to his disappointment, there are not many relatively sophisticated and durable southern construction artifacts. You must know that when he was still in Chang'an, he saw with his own eyes the convoys of various military equipment that were transported from Wuguan-Shangluo Road in the south and flowed all day long! King Huang has also repeatedly vowed to guarantee that in all matters, the army should be the first to prepare for the enemy.
However, these busy things disappeared in a flash in the accounts of the Chang'an Zhengshitang and the Guannei Transit Department, like ice and salt thrown into the water. You know, now, even the dozens of camps and villages that were presided over and compiled by Shizhong Zhao Zhang are mostly using cheap, fine-iron farming tools from the south.
It's just that when he went to ask the relevant operators and so on, the other party hesitated and couldn't tell the truth, and even when he was pressed into a hurry, he could only beg for mercy and beg him to let him spare a way. After all, he was the most senior veteran in the new dynasty. No matter what he did, few people dared to offend and question, but they, the small officials of Dousheng and Mowei, might not survive.
So he had no choice but to put aside his old face and trouble Huang Wang directly with these things. Of course, the effect was immediate. Most of the rice, winter clothes, firewood and carbon he asked for that time were in place, and the staff in charge were replaced with a new batch. But I also know that my sophistication and affection are limited, and this kind of thing cannot be repeated after all.
Moreover, he also heard some wind and movement in the relationship on the back side. He said that the most important and urgent things in the heart of the king today are two. One is the reorganization and expansion of the three armies in front of the palace and the Gyeonggi camp. Affairs, and moreover, is a certain kind of business that generates income for the new dynasty under the auspices of Zhang Zhongshu of the governing affairs hall.
As for the military preparations on the Xiaoguan side, even when the enemy has not been seen for a long time, the DPRK is still talking and questioning; some people even secretly speculate that this is some kind of dispersion and weakening. The rumors of the power of the DPRK; only for the sake of his old capital, did he maintain the intermittent confession. As everyone knows, many of the subordinates of the imperial conscript were dismissed or downsized.
But Gaihong couldn't comment on this. Although so far he has sent out several groups of spies and outposts every day, none of them have really brought back signs of the army's advance in the northwest. However, this unresolved threat and sense of crisis have caused him to be overwhelmed with time. I became more irritable and uneasy.
Therefore, he could only retreat and choose to return to his old business, and limited cooperation with Zhao Zhang, who was stationed in Xianyang, in exchange for some aid materials secretly shared by the other party from Dachang Pass in the south. At the very least, those agricultural implements and tools made of fine iron have been flattened and sharpened again, and they are not much inferior to standard military weapons.
However, such an intermittent falling snow made Gai Hong couldn't help but think of all his experiences back then. It was the same as a thin heavy snow that could barely cover the ground, but it became the last straw that overwhelmed his home in the midst of suffering under natural and man-made calamities and heavy labor.
Then when he served the government to the end of the Caohe Lagang boat service, holding the two miscellaneous pancakes left in his mouth; when he drove home like an arrow, he could only see it because of a long time. The hut that has collapsed in disrepair, and the whole family hugged to death in the only tattered bedding with a weird expression.
Then in that winter, he became one of the people who was rescued from prison by raising a fire and holding a staff and rushing into the government office. He was still a scholar but was falsely accused of writing poems and slandering the court. Then no matter how many officials he killed and how much wealth and glory he enjoyed, he also allowed those women who were once noble to give birth to children for themselves. But the family who died in which winter will never come back after all. (End of this chapter)
