Chapter 315: Perfect combination, unexpected victory (Part 1)
On the occasion of parting, the whole family had a meal together, then packed up and prepared to set off.
Lelan Ji was a little uneasy.
The eldest brother Le Kai compromised with Wang Ru and Hou Tuo in Wancheng, Nanyang, and donated a large amount of money, grain and livestock to seek peace for the family.
And not only Wancheng, but also Juiyang County, where the Le family started, was also severely blackmailed.
In addition, the third brother Lemo's retreat from Dunqiu ruined Lang Jun's great cause in Hebei, which was also a big mistake.
Based on all this, Le Lanji felt a little uncomfortable.
It is really difficult to survive in this world. Even a wealthy family like the Le family in Nanyang is still struggling, let alone ordinary people and even weak women who are alone.
If she was still the princess of Chengdu and lived alone in Luoyang, she would probably have no end. After all, even the princess's house was completely robbed, and there was no way to redress her injustice.
How do you let women live?
"Be at home and don't think too much." Shao Xun handed the eldest son's golden sword to Le Lan Ji and said, "What happens to the Le family in Nanyang has nothing to do with you."
Le Lan Ji was a little moved.
She is not a little girl, of course she knows that things are not that simple.
Lang Jun is a man of fame and fortune, so he is destined not to be so simple. Maybe after he becomes more powerful, he can be more willful, but after all, there are limits.
It's just that the matter has reached this point and he doesn't want to worry too much.
That’s how it is between men and women.
She has experienced the glory of being a concubine, and the helplessness of a sinner. The man in front of her is willing to coax her and make her happy, but is unwilling to bring negative things home. What else is there? Picky?
For this reason, even his little bad tastes are not intolerable.
That’s all he had fun with.
Shao Xun took over the second son Badger Lang from the Lu family.
In front of the public, Badger Lang fell asleep soundly as if there was no one around.
Shao Xun gently touched his son's delicate cheek, feeling very happy.
Lu Xun stood aside and subconsciously stretched out his hand, worried that the man would be careless and unable to hold the child firmly.
At her age, she finally had a child, but she was afraid it would melt away even if she held it in her mouth. She kept calling "Jiaoer" and "Jiaoer" all day long.
Shao Xun frowned when he saw it.
A loving mother often loses her sons. It's okay now, but if he gets older in the future, won't he be spoiled?
Moreover, after having a son, Mrs. Lu is now devoted to the child, and is not even very interested in the couple's affairs.
Lu Shi still plausibly said that she was not interested in these things in the first place.
Shao Xun was speechless about this. He didn’t know how many more times he could see the spectacular scenery of the waterfall.
Now he is wondering whether he was "set up" by these women.
They wanted to find someone to rely on in troubled times, but they took the bait and were captured by these women.
"Take good care of Badger Lang." Shao Xun handed his son back to Mrs. Lu and said, "Wait until I come back."
Mrs. Lu hummed and took her son carefully.
Shao Xun walked up to his parents again and said, "I heard that grandpa picked up the bow and knife again and started practicing?"
Shao's father sighed and said, "I have left it behind for so many years. I lost my skills and couldn't pick it up for a while. When I was fighting with the Wu people, I would hold the bow tip while sleeping, but now I can't. I lost strength after firing the bow for a while."
Shao Xun laughed. Said: "If even my father wants to grab a bow and go into battle, I am not far away from defeat."
Shao's mother spat beside her and said: "The battle is about to begin, what do you say about being defeated?"
My son is good at everything, but he doesn’t care about these taboos. They are all about to go into battle, and they don’t say anything auspicious.
“Aniang is right.” Shao Xun nodded obediently.
Even your father doesn't dare to confront your mother, so he might as well forget it. It will definitely make you dizzy and unbearable.
What's more, the peace of the back house depends on my mother.
Although she has received little education, some people's emotional intelligence is innate. Only with their mothers around can they continue to play their little shady hobbies.
After saying goodbye to his family one by one, he ordered the army to set off.
He did not follow the troops. Instead, he secretly went to Guangcheng Palace to say goodbye to Yang Xianrong after avoiding the sight of everyone.
Along the way, he gritted his teeth and thought about taking the Sheep Queen home someday and holding her in her arms openly for the night, but he knew that this was just a pleasure and the time was not yet ripe.
After walking all the way, he took his personal army, which had expanded to 227 people, and chased the large army overnight.
******
The sun in the west had just set, and a valley in the deep mountains seemed to be alive, and there was movement immediately.
Fu Bingbu Qu was in bad luck. They not only had to serve their master, but they also had to help take care of the thousands of people in the Yi Congjun. Especially the three hundred cavalry, which was considered the only serious cavalry unit under Chen Hou, but they still couldn't speak to those people, which was very troublesome - most of these cavalry were captured by the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei.
Chen Yougen looked at the map silently with the last ray of light on the horizon.
He couldn't read much and it was very difficult to read, so he had to ask the military officials to explain it to him.
The clerk held several pieces of silk in his hand. There were a lot of small characters written on the silk. He squinted his eyes and read and explained each paragraph.
"In the past, Dong Zhuo was good at court and rebel armies were everywhere. Sun Jian marched from Nanyang to Luyang and defeated Zhuo's army at the Yang people." The literary official said: "Supervisor, the Yang people are a settlement that has been abandoned now. We are on the road. Passing by, it's in the west of Liang County."
"Oh." Chen Yougen nodded: "It's more than a hundred miles away."
"Exactly." Fifty miles south from this valley, you can reach the second Yaluyang Pass of Sanya Road."
After that, he explained the origin of this road in detail.
The original name of Sanya Road is "Sanya Road", which is named after the three mountain passes that the road passes through.
From south to north, the location of Luyang Pass is the second pass.
In the folk, there is also a story about crows leading the way to Liu Xiu's escape. Because of the homophonic pronunciation, this road is also called "Three Crows Road" - the name of Three Crows Road is also mentioned in the Taihe 20th Anniversary of the Northern Wei Dynasty. In the third year (499), Emperor Xiaowen personally conquered the horse pens and got the saying that crows lead the way. Today we follow the former.
"Luyang Pass is guarded by General Lou and his troops, and the south of the pass is the boundary of Pheasant County." The literary official added.
To put it simply, Luyang Pass is located at the junction of Luyang and Pheasant County. The north of Guan is the border of Luyang County, and the south of Guan is Pheasant County. Because Guan City is in the northern half of the mountain, the pass belongs to Luyang ——You can tell it from the name.
The terrain of this road is difficult, and the post road passes through the mountains, so it is not easy to walk.
Zhang Xie of the Chinese Dynasty once wrote a poem: "When I climb to Luyang Pass, the gorge road is steep and deep. The stream is more than ten thousand feet long, and the surrounding trees are thousands of fathoms. Roaring tigers ring in the poor mountains, and cranes roar in the sky. Lin."
It can be seen.
Ten days ago, a part of the refugee army fled northward, trying to pass through Luyang Pass and go north to plunder.
General Lou Quan only had 2,000 field soldiers at the time. After receiving the order, he selected 1,500 people and arrived at Luyang Pass to garrison.
After a fierce battle, Kankan repelled the bandits.
There are many remote mountains and remote areas near Sanya Road, and the people are sparsely populated. The thieves had nothing to plunder, so they withdrew and never appeared again. The people of Luyang escaped.
"The valley we are in is the third crow of Sancrow Road. It is fifty miles away from Luyang Pass to the southwest and twenty miles away from Luyang County to the northeast." The literary official continued.
Chen Yougen looked at it for a long time, and finally sighed: "These are the results of the investigation when the prince visited Luyang, right? Those pictures of the imperial court are useless."
The literary officials were also somewhat impressed, Chen Hou Zhen was a man who did great things. He walked the Three Crows Road several times in person and made corrections to the imperial maps, which was very impressive.
He knew very well that maps were a valuable resource that not everyone was eligible for.
When marching and fighting without knowing the transportation, geography, customs, climate and products, it is useless to become a general.
In the eyes of many people who talk on paper, it seems that without transportation and terrain, everything is the same no matter where you go.
Many roads were opened in the pre-Qin period and have not changed much just because of the terrain.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Chu attacked Shen and destroyed Deng, and defeated the State of Ying, extending its power deep into the Central Plains. At that time, Luyang was the territory of the State of Ying.
King Wen of Chu built the Great Wall of Chu here, including Luyang Pass, and planned to enter the Central Plains through this pass. It can be seen that people knew how to go there at that time.
But knowledge is destined to only belong to a few people before it spreads.
The post road of Sanya Road is not known to many people except for the nearby people, businessmen who often travel far and well-educated scholars.
In ancient times, when marching and fighting, people were often detoured and attacked by the enemy. This is the reason.
Either he ignored it, or he didn't even know that such a way existed.
The Hou Tuo bandit army seems to know that there is this road, which is good. After all, this is not the main passage between Nanyang and Luoyang.
The clerk continued to talk for a long time, and Chen Yougen listened while eating.
When it got completely dark, he ordered the troops to march.
They were composed of Qianfu soldiers, Qianfu soldiers and Yi Congjun, with a total of about 3,000 soldiers and more than 1,500 horses.
Before departure, more than 4,000 riding horses were temporarily strengthened from Guangchengze to enhance mobility.
Each horse carried a large amount of cooked beans and vinegar-soaked biscuits, and almost all the load was used to carry grain.
When they arrive at Luyang Pass, they will supply supplies for the last time, and then go out at night and day to penetrate deep into the enemy territory - in fact, in order to develop habits and adjust their work and rest, they started in Luyang County Did it.
This journey is full of surprises, and Chen Yougen knows it very well.
