Chapter 1661 Waiting for the Tang army to enter the urn?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened Baiyue, established Rinan County three thousand miles south of Jiaozhi County, led four counties, and governed Zhuwu.
Its Linyi is Xianglin County in Rinan County.
The county is in the south, so it is called Rinan. The south boundary of the county is four hundred miles. During the Later Han Dynasty, the Central Plains was in chaos. The people in Xianglin County killed the county magistrate in succession and called himself the King of Linyi. Later, there was Fan Xiong, who was connected to the district for generations, and it was passed down for many generations, so it became the Linyi Kingdom. The land is all opened to the north to face the sun.
During the Jinwu period, the Fan family paid tribute. In the third year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, King Fanwen of Linyi captured Rinan County, killed the prefect Xiahou Lan, and massacred five or six thousand people. Then he attacked Jiuzhen County, sacrificed Xiahou Lan's body to heaven, leveled Xijuan County, and occupied Rinan.
Later, King Fan Wen of Linyi sent an envoy to see Zhu Fan, the governor of Jiaozhou, and requested that Hengshan, the northern boundary of Rinan County, be used as the boundary.
Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Hengshan has become the border area between China and Linyi. To the south of Hengshan is Linyi, and to the north is Annan. However, Annan is far away from the Central Plains and has rebelled several times. The control of the Central Plains dynasty has never been strengthened.
In the middle of the tenth century, Annam broke away from China and became the Kingdom of Dai Viet. Linyi in the south was also called Champa at this time, and Hengshan became the boundary mountain between the two countries. Of course, this is a story later...
The Hengshan Mountains isolate the north from the south, connect the northern section of the Changshan Mountains to the west, and extend to the South China Sea in the east. The terrain is higher in the west and lower in the east, with less fluctuations. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
Hengshan Pass is located at the bottom of the valley between two peaks. This "pass" does not mean a pass, but a road between mountains. Hengshan Pass is the main road connecting the north and the south. The road is winding and winding. The road is often surrounded by high mountains and cliffs on one side and deep valleys and ravines on the other.
Walking through the dense forest, the forest sea is layer upon layer of green, surrounded by mist and floating clouds. I don’t know which clouds are floating down from the top of the ridge, and I don’t know which fog is rising from the bottom of the valley...< br>
The densely packed young people climbed to the top of the mountain along the mountain road from the north, and stopped at a mountain road sandwiched between two mountains. Li Wanshan, who was walking at the front, raised his head and looked at the surrounding mountains, and said loudly: "This is an ambush location. You can set up an ambush here to snipe the Tang army."
Li Wuqing, who was behind him, also looked at the terrain and nodded in agreement: "The Tang people were only powerful in their navy, but their soldiers were weakest. Look at the defenders in several counties in Annan. They are simply vulnerable. If we set up an ambush here, we would definitely be surprised. The Tang army was unexpected. When the Tang army passed by and headed for Annan, the army swooped down from the hillsides on both sides and was sure to scatter the Tang army and win a complete victory!"
Li Wanshan curled his lips, the disdainful look in his eyes disappeared, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, it will be a good opportunity for you natives to make contributions. Don't say that someone excludes you and won't give you a chance. When the time comes, you go first. A certain leader will postpone the formation for you.”
Li Wuqing was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, General Li. How old is Li? If the general doesn't dislike it, can I call you a good brother? Haha, I hope there will be more good brothers in Wanchun Kingdom in the future." If you are called upon to protect me, Brother Yu will not hesitate to do so!”
He doesn't have any scheming ideas, but he still knows the basic tricks.
After the establishment of the Wanchun Nation, even if they could be included as natives, they would still be squeezed out everywhere and find it difficult to move forward. Now that the young general in front of him, who initially rejected the natives, now shows his intention to support them, how can he not climb up the ladder?
Just seeing how this young man dares to fool around in front of Li Zhuangzhi, I know it is unusual. If you can win over him, you should be able to become a big help...
Li Wanshan smiled softly: "That's natural, that's natural..."
Are you still thinking about the future?
As long as you can save your life, it counts as your ability...
The young men of Li Wuqing's clan were lurking in the forests on both sides of the mountain road. They repeatedly told them to be extremely careful and not to make too much noise, which might disturb the Tang army's scouts and reveal their whereabouts.
Li Wanshan carelessly opened a clearing in the forest, ordered the tribesmen to bring wine and meat, and called a few close confidants to sit in a circle, eating, drinking and laughing.
Li Wuqing was secretly anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
This Li Wanshan is a very powerful group among the Han people, and he is young and energetic. How can anyone listen to his advice? I just hope that no scouts from the Tang Army will come to explore the road now...
I just wonder if Li Zhuangzhi’s son, who is jointly responsible for sniping the Tang army this time, can take the opportunity to get closer?
At the same time, a young general led thousands of rebel soldiers to arrive slowly, following in the footsteps of Li Wuqing and Li Wanshan and walking to Hengshan Pass.
*****
Li Wuqing didn't take Datang Navy seriously, but Li Zhuangzhi naturally didn't.
Information has been sent back from Sangha Puluo City. The Tang Army dispatched a heavy infantry armed to the teeth and massacred the city in half a night. With such combat power, how could Li Zhuangzhi dare to be negligent?
On the one hand, he ordered Li Wanshan, Li Wuqing and his son Li Tianbao to lead the main force to Hengshanguan to snipe the Tang army's attack from south to north. On the other hand, he personally led the young and strong Chen soldiers of the clan to the bank of the Red River north of Guluo City to resist the possible landing of the Tang army's navy. .
As for the army at the Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion, they can only wait and see what happens, and have no time to worry about it for the time being...
Li Zhuangzhi, dressed in military uniform, stood on the top of Guluo City and looked at the rolling red river, feeling a little solemn. Even though Yu repeatedly emphasized in front of his subordinates that the Tang army would not mobilize large troops from the country to conquer, he really didn't have much confidence in his heart.
Even if the Tang Dynasty was really as he thought, all its thoughts were on the Eastern Conquest of Goguryeo and did not care about Annan, but even if there were only Datang Navy, it would still make him sleepless and sleepless...
That is an existence that has never been defeated across the South China Sea!
As long as he thinks about the time when the real wax soldiers were defeated by the "shaking thunder" of the Tang army and fled in embarrassment, Li Zhuangzhi is terrified...
But what can he do?
Watching the lingering shadow of the Wanchun Kingdom disappear little by little, in ten or twenty years, I am afraid that no one in this world will be able to remember the original Wanchun Kingdom. Not to mention that he is already in his seventies this year. Even if his body is still strong, how long can he live?
He clearly knows that once he dies, the Wanchun Kingdom will be completely annihilated in history, and no one will mention it again...
By that time, even if Annan can really establish his own country, what will it have to do with the Wanchun Kingdom?
Li Zhuangzhi fought hard to survive, but in the last days of his life, he had to fight vigorously for his ideals and life's sustenance!
Even if this battle is destined to end in defeat, even if this battle involves the heroes of the Annan generation, even if this battle will ruin the blood of all descendants of the Wanchun Kingdom...
"Commander, the preparations for the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China are complete."
Li Qingshu came behind Li Zhuangzhi and spoke respectfully.
In terms of blood, Li Qingshu and Li Zhuangzhi are not close. Their ancestors even fought for the power of Wanchun Kingdom for many years, with each winning and losing, but neither could do anything to the other, and neither was willing to accept it. However, time has passed and Li Qingshu has been with Li Zhuangzhi since childhood. The two trust each other and Li Qingshu is willing to be his arm. On the contrary, Li Wanshan, who is closer to Li Zhuangzhi by blood, gradually moves away and does not obey Li Zhuangzhi...
Li Zhuangzhi nodded slightly.
Although the revolt against the Tang Dynasty was under the banner of "recovering the Wanchun Kingdom", this was Li Zhuangzhi's long-cherished wish in his life. Naturally, he could not be vague about the matter. Just shouting two slogans and setting up a big flag would claim that the restoration of the country was successful. There should be something It is a serious founding celebration. One part pays tribute to the heroic spirit of the ancestors, and the other part can also show the orthodoxy and win the hearts of the people of Annan.
Nowadays, Annan is full of merchants from the Tang Dynasty who came with the navy. The people benefited greatly from it and became closer to the Kingdom of Heaven. Who else remembers the short-lived Wanchun Kingdom a hundred years ago?
"Qingshu, do you think the Tang navy will come in full force?"
Li Zhuangzhi looked gloomy and his tone was quite anxious.
Although Annan is rich, it is also the place where the Four Wars were fought. In addition to crossing the Hengshan Pass in the south and driving directly into Yima Pingchuan, because of the long coastline, almost everywhere can provide a landing place for the Tang army's navy. It is impossible to keep the Tang army out of the territory. .
So he could only bet that the Tang army mobilized all the infantry in order to quell the rebellion of Lin Yiguo, but that the Tang army was arrogant and unwilling to take the trouble to let the soldiers who had just put down the rebels after a fierce battle board the ship again and transport them to the north to participate in another battle. A counter-insurgency war...
He bet that the Tang army would gather troops to cross Hengshan Pass and attack Songping County from a commanding height!
Li Qingshu looked back and looked around to make sure there was no one around, then lowered his voice and said softly: "Xinzuo sent back the news that the heavy infantry of the Tang Army in Da Nang is already gathering, and it is very likely that they will go north through Hengshan Pass."
Li Zhuangzhi had great trust in the soldiers lurking in the Tang army, but he could not calm down his doubts and anxiety: "The heavy infantry moves slowly and it is difficult to travel long distances. What if these heavy infantry gather and want to come north by ship?" ?”
Li Qingshu shook his head: "It's unlikely, because Huating Town Mayor Shi Pei Xingjian, who came to Da Nang on Fang Jun's order to collect rice, has already led a fleet of rice transporters to leave Da Nang, and must be escorted by warships, so now within Da Nang The number of warships is far from enough, and we still have to guard against the possibility of another rebellion by the Linyi people. How can we use all our resources to go north? "
Li Zhuangzhi raised his eyebrows and his heart skipped a beat: "Is it possible that Pei Xingjian pretended to return to the Tang Dynasty, but actually secretly went north to attack us?"
Li Qingshu said flatly: "It's absolutely impossible! When we raised the army, Pei Xingjian had already set sail. Moreover, our raising the army was a temporary idea. It was Wan Shan's nephew who proposed it first. You and I decided after discussing it. Is it possible that the people of the Tang Dynasty could predict the future?" , I hid such a skill in advance..."
When he said this, his heart suddenly "thumped" and his expression changed drastically!
Li Zhuangzhi saw that he had a different look on his face, and before he could ask a question, Li Qingshu already shouted: "No!" (End of Chapter)
