Life has become more comfortable, and Huang Huanxi also likes to dress up unconsciously.
Naturally, there were no flowers planted on the road, so she put her mind on wild flowers.
Huang Huanxi picked some wild flowers as a corolla. At this time, he raised his head and the corolla fell to the ground.
She didn't care to pick up the flower crown. While sighing at the height and steepness of the Qinling Mountains, she asked: "The road to Shu is difficult to reach the sky. How can I travel at night?"
Lu Ludao also looked at the majestic Qinling Mountains in front of him and said: "Of course it's easier to travel, and you don't have to walk at night. It's so comfortable to walk during the day."
Everyone was very happy after hearing this.
Although it was very safe in the past few days, I always walked at night and felt a little uneasy in my heart.
If you can travel during the day, who would want to travel at night?
Twenty days later, they crossed the Qinling Mountains and felt that great changes had taken place before their eyes.
First, the air is no longer dry, the face is full of moisture, and the skin is not as uncomfortable as in the Central Plains.
Sure enough, the soil and water support the people.
Huang Huanxi looked at Lu Ludao, thought about it, and finally felt it was inappropriate, and finally swallowed his words.
Ma Renmin took a deep breath and said, "It's so comfortable, so comfortable. Brother Lu, your skin is actually better than many women in the Central Plains. Is it because of the soil and water here?"
Lu Ludao said a little embarrassedly: "Maybe so. Many of the men and women here have better skin than the people in the Central Plains."
Huang Huanxi looked at the sky and said, "It's really nice here. The sun is not so dazzling, and it doesn't feel so hot on the body."
After another ten days, they passed through Daba Mountain and Micang Mountain and arrived at Xi County.
Although there were still mountains and mountains, Lu Ludao finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was already the Shu Road.
Through this Shu Road, they can reach Jintang County safely with a population of several thousand.
And he, Lu Ludao, also left a heavy mark on the annals of Chengdu Prefecture in Jintang County.
Even Lu Ludao would not doubt it, and the history books of the Song Dynasty would also record it.
After all, these are all remnants of their homeland, and they are also original Tokyoites.
The greatest wish of a literati is to leave his mark in the history books.
Of course, it is also indispensable for Zhao Ping to give him official status and treatment.
Lu Lutao arranged for Ma Renmin to arrange immigration, and he put on camouflage uniforms and secretly walked through the woods to see the Shu Road.
After all, Xingyuan Mansion is still in the hands of the barbarians, and he doesn't want to fail.
"Haha, why did Lu Dao come at this time? Don't you think it's too late?"
As they laughed, seven people walked from the woods nearby.
Lu Ludao took a look and found that it was Shangguan Bolong, Yunzhongya, Deng Bin, Gao Xing, Yu Qingshan and other seven people.
They also had weathered faces. Shangguan Bolong and Yunzhongya's camouflage uniforms even had holes in them.
Luludao was overjoyed and hurried forward.
The eight people hugged each other tightly and shed tears of joy.
They risked being beheaded and came to Dadu, Luoyang and Kaifeng respectively.
Zhao Ping did not force them, they all volunteered.
In particular, Deng Bin and Gao Gao were originally members of the Changyuan County Party Committee. They were attracted purely by unofficial officials.
The two of them don't have much popularity in Zhaojiazhuang, and they can't attract the minimum target of 5,000 people.
The two were unwilling to give in, but the various places in the Song Dynasty were strictly guarded and could not pull people away.
If it didn’t work within the Song Dynasty, wouldn’t it work outside the Song Dynasty?
The two found Zhao Ping through Zhao Ping's disciple Yao Yi and expressed their thoughts.
Zhao Ping repeatedly emphasized the risks, and the two were determined and willing to join the detailed work camp.
Zhao Ping also wanted to try to see if he could bring the population from the Central Plains, so he asked Zhonghua to formulate a relocation plan for ten thousand people and asked the security team to cooperate.
While Zhonghua was formulating a plan, his imagination suddenly opened up. Both members of the team could go to the Central Plains to recruit people, so why couldn't the detailed camp?
Lu Ludao, Yu Qingshan, Ou Ligui and others who helped him formulate the plan felt that the plan was becoming more and more feasible. Their detailed operations had already spread their eyes on the Hu people and had already taken root, sprouted and blossomed.
If you don’t take advantage of such a great opportunity, when will you wait?
Lu Ludao, Ou Ligui, Zhang Guanmin and others also petitioned to go to the Central Plains to recruit people. The opportunity is for those who are prepared.
Ou Ligui and Zhang Guanmin cooperated with Deng Bin and Gao Xing to go to Luoyang to recruit people. Lu Ludao and Yu Qingshan decided to try out in the countryside of Kaifeng.
After all, it is very easy to be exposed if you pull people in one place.
Unexpectedly, their plan succeeded.
Lu Ludao pointed at Yu Qingshan and the others and said: "Look at you, you all smell sour and sweaty, even your clothes are torn, how can you still have the image of a security team?
The eight people looked at each other and laughed together: "Each other, each other!"
Lu Lutao looked at Deng Bin, Gao Xing, Ou Ligui and Zhang Guanmin and asked, "How many days have you been here?"
Deng Bin, Ou Ligui and others exchanged glances with each other, laughed and said, "Of course this is earlier than you, it arrived ten days ago."
Lu Ludao felt strange and asked: "Then why haven't you come to Jintang County yet? It's not uncomfortable to stay here and smell sour?"
The four happy people looked at each other again and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's not that you moved too much and were discovered by the barbarians. The two Jinniu Passage roads to Sichuan were all blocked by the barbarians."
Not to be outdone, Lu Ludao counterattacked: "I'm not the only one who goes to the Central Plains and the Hu people's territory to recruit people, aren't you?"
Shangguan Bolong saw a few people making a noise and comforted him: "Everyone has worked hard and achieved the goal. Now it's up to Mr. Lang."
Yes, they have already taken people to Xingyuan Mansion. Now Shu Road is heavily defended by barbarians. Only Xiaolangjun can think of a way to do this.
Shangguan Bolong is the general of the Xizuo Camp. He participated in picking up Wang Dechen's family and recruiting people in the Central Plains. He was the highest person in charge of this operation.
As soon as he spoke, the others stopped talking and looked at him, hoping that he would come up with a proper plan.
Although Zhao Ping could send troops and horses to greet them, he also needed information here, and this burden fell on Shangguan Bolong.
Shangguan Bolong fell into deep thought, thinking about how to formulate a plan while drinking the drunken spring breeze.
The Hu people are not fools either. Jintang County is trying to lure people away, and now tens of thousands of people are suddenly missing in Kaifeng and Luoyang.
Wasn't it you, Zhao Ping, who did this, or someone else?
When Shi Tianze, the Henan Economic Envoy and Zhao Bi's pacification envoy, learned of the news submitted by the prefects of Kaifeng and Luoyang, he did not dare to neglect and immediately sent the letter to Dadu.
After Mengge Khan saw the memorial, he couldn't help but became furious. He ordered Xingyuan Prefecture, Jiagu Longgu Province and Marshal Tuxue to send troops to defend to the death. He did not believe that this group of Central Plains people could fly over with wings.
Jiagu Longgu had great strategic awareness and proposed using Xingyuan Mansion as a large base for attacking Sichuan, which was adopted by the puppet Khan Wokuotai.
He was originally a surrendered general of the Jin Kingdom, and Wokuotai appointed Jiagu Longgudai as the pacifier of Xingyuan. Later Guiyou Khan appointed him as the province of Xingyuan.
The Hu people raised Xingyuan Prefecture to the provincial level, which shows that the Hu people attached great importance to Xingyuan Prefecture.
The Jiagulong ancient belt operated Xingyuan for more than ten years. They built Xingyuan into a city with high walls and connected fortresses, and stored a large amount of Hu people's supplies. The Hu people invaded Sichuan many times and used Xingyuan as a large rear base. of.
Because Xingyuan Mansion poses a great threat to Sichuan, Yu Jie once attacked Xingyuan Mansion in the tenth year of Chunyou, intending to completely eliminate the threat to Sichuan.
After planning, before attacking Xingyuan, Yu Jie first sent several Song troops to attack the Longshu border on the other side of northern Sichuan to attract the attention of the Hu people to the west.
After that, Yu Jie personally led the main force of the Song army, known as the 100,000 Northern Expedition, from the Jinniu Road north to the Qin-Shu border.
It should be said that Yu Jie's plan and strategy were impeccable. This was the time when the Hu people's troops in Xingyuan Mansion were at their weakest.
Yu Jie led the main force to defeat Wang Jin, the Mongolian Lilu Marshal, and then defeated the Hu people three times in Luocun, Xixian (now Mian County, Shaanxi Province) and other places. By April of the 11th year of Chunyou the following year, Hanzhong was surrounded.
In order to prevent the northern Hu people from going south to rescue Xingyuan, Yu Jie sent troops to burn down the plank road to prevent the northern Hu people from going south to rescue Xingyuan, and then launched an attack on Xingyuan.
There were not many barbarians under Jiagu Longgu's command in Xingyuan City, so they could only stay behind closed doors and not dare to fight.
However, due to the strong defense of Xingyuan, and this part of the Hu people was specially formed to defend Xingyuan, the Song army was unable to attack in a hurry.
The Hu people in the north rushed to the south for help. Marshal Tu Xue of Mongolia led his troops to Dashan Pass. They were unable to go south because the plank road was destroyed. When they were anxious, they accidentally caught three Hu people who had escaped from the Hanzhong area.
Tuxue pardoned their death penalty and ordered them to lead the way, bypassing the plank road from the path, and achieved another secret crossing of Chencang (now in Baoji, Shaanxi) in military history, but this time from north to south.
The Hu people of Tuxue tribe passed through Chencang, went south through Bao Valley, and suddenly arrived at the foot of Xingyuan City, strengthening the defense of the Hu people in Xingyuan.
At the same time, the Hu people and Han general Zheng Ding led his troops to rush to repair the plank road, which was completed soon after. This caused the Hu people from the north to continue to move southward, reversing the balance of military power between Song and Mongolia in the Xingyuan area.
Faced with this situation, Yu Jie's plan to take advantage of the situation and capture Xingyuan could no longer be realized. The Song army had been unable to attack Xingyuan for a long time, and the divisions and veterans were exhausted. The situation had changed drastically, and the Song Dynasty had lost its absolute advantage in military strength.
Yu Jie was worried that the whole army would be defeated if they were attacked by the Hu people from inside and outside, so he made a decisive decision and led his troops to abandon their heavy ordnance and retreat. The counterattack on Xingyuan failed.
Therefore, Yu Jie never forgets this. Seeing the offensive capabilities of Zhao Ping's Sichuan Protector Army and the security regiment, he hopes to attack Xingyuan Mansion again.
Jiagu Longgu can say that Xingyuanfu's defense is full of confidence.
After receiving the order from the Great Khan, the provincial governor Jiagu Longgu summoned Marshal Tuxue and Qianshi Zheng Ding to discuss with each other.
The power of the province is very great, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the local princes, which is equivalent to the Jiedushi of the former Tang Dynasty.
It also placed the prime minister, Ping Zhang, You Cheng, Zuo Cheng, Shen Zhizhi and other officials, who were in charge of money, food, soldiers, farming, transportation and all military and state affairs. They were related to Zhongshu Sheng, and they were gradually called their jurisdictions. The region (the highest local administrative area) is a province, which was later modified into a province. This is the origin of the province.
There are three roads from Xingyuanfu to Chengdu, namely Jinniu Road, Micang Road and Yinping Road.
The two roads, Micang Road and Yinping Road, are very steep and difficult to walk on. And now there are tens of thousands of civilians, so Jinniu Road is the only road.
The Jinniu Road starts from Xi County, passes through Ningqiang, Guangyuan, Zhaohua, Jianmen, Wulian, Zitong, Mianyang, Deyang, and finally reaches Chengdu.
Zheng Ding, the deputy minister of Xingyuan Prefecture, now leads 10,000 troops and horses stationed in Xi County. In the first Guanxi County on Shu Road, he not only sent heavy troops to guard, but also sent 3,000 cavalry to patrol everywhere.
Xingyuan Mansion doesn't claim to have more than 100,000 troops, so why are there only 10,000 troops defending here?
