Chapter 1141 Small Road
Like the so-called children of the six counties, Banman is also one of the main forces in Chengguo.
The ancient monks (Ba people) lived everywhere, but the Yushui River Basin was still its core birthplace - Yushui, also known as Dangqushui, which is now the upper reaches of the Qujiang River.
After the fall of the ancient country, the people scattered everywhere, and there was no king and the president, and they all lived in towns. To this day, it has been centered on Dangqu (now northeast of Qu County) and is spread throughout the Sanba area with hundreds of thousands of people. It has families such as Luo, Gong, Pu, and Zan as its surname, especially the Luo family has the greatest influence.
At the end of November, the Minister of the Chengguo, Pushe Luoyan, arrived in Dangqu and summoned the Banyan barbarian army everywhere.
By the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, he personally led thousands of pioneers who had completed the rectification and set off to the northeast. When passing through various towns, he continued to collect men and women, collect food, grass and livestock.
On this day, Gong Zhuang was mourning at home in mourning clothes. As soon as he finished lunch, several nephews from the clan came to say goodbye.
When they saw the mourning hat on Gong Zhuang's head and the mourning clothes they were wearing, they all bowed their heads and felt ashamed.
"Go." Gong Zhuang sighed, waved his hand, and said.
The children and nephews were even more ashamed.
After a while, Gong Mian whispered, "Uncle, we can't do it either. All cities and towns listen to Luo's family, and the imperial army is suppressing it. If you don't send troops, you may be unable to handle yourself."
Gong Zhuang said nothing, and only put down the book in his hand. After a long time, he said, "If the Liang people had not occupied Badong, I would not advise you. Now that they occupied Badong, the general situation of Chengguo is gone. When they go to war, don't show off their strength, and save their lives. Li wants to die, let him go. Emperor Liang can avenge me, how happy."
This is what I say...
My nephews, look at me, I look at you, but I don’t know how to persuade you.
But this uncle is the most literary and respected person in the clan. He is also very famous in Brazil. He was once as famous as the village party Qiao Xiu. No one dared to contradict him in person, so he could only keep silent.
As for "revenge", you can tell by looking at your uncle's dress.
Li Te killed Gong Zhuang's father and uncle. It has been many years since Li Te still refused to get rid of the mourning. Isn't his attitude obvious?
It’s just that I really don’t have the ability to resist Li Cheng’s rule. Whenever I have the chance, would you ask my uncle if he is willing to kill his enemy?
"Where will Luo Yan ask you to meet?" Gong Zhuang asked again.
"Xuanhan County." Gong Mian replied.
Xuanhan is a county under the jurisdiction of Dangqu County.
This county was established by Liu Bei's Brazilian county. It was abolished and abolished nine years later, and was repeatedly established and abolished.
It was re-established during the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin, and governed the three counties of Dangqu, Xuanhan and Hanchang. Li Chengshi abolished them and abolished them again and again. This year it was re-established. However, Luo Yan's younger brother Luo Gu was the prefect, which was considered a compromise plan.
When Gong Zhuang heard the three words "Xuanhan County", he felt a stir and asked, "Is there a Liang army coming to Weixing County?"
"I heard that there were abnormal movements, but no army arrived, so the army could not be taken on that road." Gong Mian replied.
"From Xicheng to Xuanhan, we can only follow the river valley. The cliff road is rugged, and the water can only pass through rafts. It is winter again, so we can't run a large army." Gong Zhuang nodded and said, "Where is the direction of Shangyong?"
There is a road from the eastern border of Xuanhan that can directly lead to Shangyong, mainly through the tributary of the Mian River (Han River) to block water, and can pass through bamboo rafts, and then take a section of land to the eastern border of Xuanhan.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Meng Da was the prefect of Xincheng, rebelled against Wei, and Shen Yi was the prefect of Wei Xing, so he blocked the river valley and "the road to Shu is cut off and the invasion of the Shu road cannot be saved", which is about this road.
There is also Xiahou Shang, who said that he "from the Shangyong Pass, traveled more than 700 miles west, and most of the mountain people and barbarians obeyed, and in the past five or six years, he surrendered thousands of families." This is also the way.
When Gong Mian heard Gong Zhuang ask about the two paths, he was immediately impressed.
My uncle didn't go out of the mountain and just sat at home, so he knew the world's affairs. Unfortunately, he had family enemies, but this was Li's loss.
After asking these few words, Gong Zhuang glanced at someone in the crowd, then closed his eyes and stopped talking.
When everyone saw that Gong Zhuang was trying to see him off, they bowed and left home to rectify the troops.
Half an hour later, he came alone and said, "Uncle."
"Silang, you are here." Gong Zhuang stood up and helped his nephew up.
"Uncle, you seem to have something unfinished just now?" nephew Gong Chun asked in a low voice.
Gong Zhuang said nothing, pointed to the thatched cottage where he was mourned and said, "When Li Te was still alive, this cottage was set up. It has been almost thirty years. In the past thirty years, many people have advised me to eliminate the funeral, saying that there are so many people in the world who have been mourning for so long. I don't care about it. Do you know why?"
When Gong Chun heard this, she burst into tears and said, "Uncle..."
Gong Zhuang snorted coldly and said, "Chengdu said, 'Brazil Gong brothers are unyielding to Li Te and killed by him', but what's the truth? Li Te is afraid of Gong's power in the Banyan Manchu, so he killed him. Your grandfather was killed by him, but he still summoned his own troops to help the evil, so that his relatives would be sad and the enemy would be happy. How stupid!"
Gong Chun cried even louder.
After a long time, Gong Zhuang sighed, helped his nephew up, and said, "Just just now, my uncle only mentioned the two paths of Wei Xing and Shangyong, don't you have any questions?"
Gong Chun cried a little and asked subconsciously: "Uncle said..."
"When you get together in Xuanhan, if you don't guard against the arrival of the two counties of Weixing and Shangyong, there is only a third possibility." Gong Zhuang said: "Go east to take Hanfeng, go around to Nanpu, and cut off the Liang people's grain road."
When Gong Chun heard this, the more he thought about it, the more likely it was.
Walking southeast from Xuanhan, most of the Banyan barbarian tribes along the way. No, to be precise, it is the White Tiger Yi tribe.
During the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, "the tiger passed through four counties and killed a thousand and two hundred people."
The King of Qin re-sponsored the country, "If anyone can kill tigers, there will be thousands of families in the town, and gold and silk to call them." The people of Qurenyi Liao Zhongyao, He Shehu, Qin Jing and others made bamboo crossbows to shoot tigers on high buildings.
The King of Qin finally broke his promise and refused to pay the debt, and just made an oath with the barbarians.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Baihuyi and his family had moved to the Dangqu River Basin and fought for Liu Bang with Banyan. "He was brave and brave in nature. He was the vanguard of the Han Dynasty and was trapped in several battles."
Liu Bang liked the bravery of Baihuyi very much, and even ordered the musicians in the palace to learn the "Bayu Dance" of Baihuyi, which was enough face. By this time, this White Tiger Bian has been called "Banshen Man" and has lived with the people who stayed in their hometown, but there is no doubt that they are all vassals.
What if Luo Yan persuaded or bribed the White Tiger Yi tribes in Badong? This will not only recruit troops, but also obtain supplies and guidance, and accidentally penetrate the Liangren.
Although the Liang people are very powerful, they always have to eat, right? At this stage, they will most likely not be able to transport water by water, and they can only spend a lot of money on land. Once cut off, the front line will be out of food and will inevitably withdraw their troops.
Among the mountains and ridges in the Sanba area, there are many barbarian tribes and many small roads. How long will the Liang talents come? It is impossible for them to know this without being attached to the people's sentiment. The possibility of this plan being successful is quite high and it is completely worth a try.
"Silang." Gong Zhuang looked a little excited when he spoke, and only heard him say, "The Liang people went to the north of the Yangtze River to attack Ba County. It was obviously a plan to pull out various cities along the way, forcing them to retreat into a navy, and let Liang ship and transport grain to follow. This strategy is difficult, but it may not be feasible. In this way, Hanfeng, who was alone, would be easily taken by Luo Yan. If he got this place, he would only walk the path to Nanpu, which was close to him. However, if he could do this, the Liang people could do this, can he understand?"
When Gong Chun heard this, his heart suddenly jumped up.
"Dang!" Gong Zhuang took out a knife from the thatched cottage and threw it at Gong Chun's feet.
Gong Chun looked at his uncle blankly.
"Silang, take this knife and go to report to the Liang people, tell them that there is this path and lead them to Xuanhan." Gong Zhuang whispered: "In the future - you can kill Chengdu with this knife and slaughter Li Te's descendants to avenge his family."
"If you have achieved this merit, you can become an official in Liang in the future. Gong's family also has the opportunity to grow, and it is very likely to replace Luo's family."
"There are more than 100,000 people in Dangqu Banyan, and hundreds of thousands of people in Sanba. Now I heard that there are still people going down the mountain?"
Gong Chun was stunned and nodded again.
These people who went down the mountain were called "Yanren".
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the tribes began to move out of the valley and migrate northward, and were widely distributed. They started from Yuezhi in the south and ended in Hanzhong in the north, with no trace of Yiliao.
But the Liao people live in the mountains, and many Shu people don’t even know their existence, just like black households. In history, the Han Dynasty "(Li) was amnesty in the territory of Shu. There was no Liao in the land of Shu. It started to emerge from the mountain, from Ba to Jianwei and Zitong, and it was covered with valleys, with more than 100,000 falling, which could not be restricted and was a great trouble for the people."
Last year, Li Xiong also pardoned the "sin" of the Liao people and ordered them to come out to live. On the one hand, they enriched their household registration in the county, and on the other hand, they were because these people were ignorant and barbaric, dared to fight and fought, and were fearless of death. They wanted to draw their men and soldiers to fight to control the Liang army.
These are the people Gong Zhuang is talking about.
Seeing his nephew nodding, he immediately said, "There are hundreds of thousands of priests in Sanba, and there are also other counties. Now there are hundreds of thousands of liang people down the mountain, and there are countless people who have not yet come out. In the future, the Emperor of Liang will always have people guarding one of his areas and appease the tribes. This is an opportunity."
As Gong Chun listened, he picked up the knife like a demon...
*******
Just when the Minister of the Cheng Kingdom, the Right Pushe Luo Yan, was conscripting the army of Banyan Man and Liao, Li Shou led more than 20,000 soldiers from the six counties to travel east and arrived at Jiangzhou County, the capital of Ba County (now Chongqing City), and gathered 30,000 county and barbarian soldiers recruited here, totaling 50,000.
For a time, the soldiers and armor were shining with sun and flags around Ba County, which meant that the army was mighty.
It is naturally impossible for a 50,000 army to be stationed in a county in Jiangzhou.
From the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, they scattered to guard the dangers.
The navy went downstream and continued to attack Liang's ships, making it impossible for them to transport grain by water, slowing down their advance, lengthening the grain channels, and increasing the loss.
At this time, Li Shou received news: Fengdu had been captured by the Liang people, and more and more Liang army generals gathered in Zhixian.
He didn't say anything.
Fengdu has few soldiers, and Zhixian has only more than 2,000 children of more than 2,000 counties. In addition, some powerful soldiers and barbarian soldiers are probably not going to be able to defend for long.
The place where the two sides fought decisively was only in Jiangzhou.
If Jiangzhou wins a great victory, you can take advantage of the situation to pursue and recover some of the lost land.
If Jiangzhou is defeated, the next battlefield may be in Chengdu, and there will be no chance of victory, because the enemy's cavalry can play a role. The incident where Wu Han led the cavalry to repeatedly attack Gongsun Shu would be repeated.
Jiangzhou cannot be defeated, and the situation will be gone.
At this time, he was also a little dazed.
Even if the Liang army was defeated by Jiangzhou City, it would just retreat, and he might not be able to take advantage of the opportunity to recover Badong. Once the Cheng army is defeated, it will start to defend Chengdu. The war between the two sides is not equal at all.
