Nanguan is different from Beiguan. They are both called Nanguan, but Nanguan has nothing to do with it.
The so-called pass refers to a city.
The southernmost side of Chang Dynasty is Qiongzhou. To the south of Qiongzhou is the mountains and forests, and to the south of the mountains and forests is the sea.
The reason why Nanguan is not taken seriously is because there are almost no enemies on the south side, at least no neighboring countries. Most of them are barbarian tribes living in the deep mountains and old forests.
Which emperor doesn't want to expand his territory and expand his territory a little bit.
But on the south side, there is really no need. There are too many mountains and forests. Emperor Chang Dynasty did this back then and asked the southernmost state capital, Qiongzhou City, to organize local people to clear mountains and clear forests to increase the land that could be planted.
Qiongzhou City also did the same thing. After a few months, they began to greet the emperor and his family collectively.
There were tens of thousands of people, their axes were swinging out sparks, but they didn't drive ten miles. You must know that the mountains and forests on the south side are endless. Yu Gong brought his whole family here, and his son had to sever the father-son relationship with him. There was no one at all. Even if you cut it, it won’t grow as fast.
After struggling for several months, the emperor and the court felt that it was meaningless, and finally gave up.
But if the trees are not cut down, those people are still there, maybe they have nothing to do in the mountains and forests, and they are giving birth to more and more children, and the two sides are fighting every now and then.
It is definitely impossible for the Fan people to attack the city and plunder the territory. They do not have the hardware strength, but they can rob the villages and harass the people. However, the defenders in the south of Changchao are very troubled. If they want to completely solve the Fan people's problem, they can You have to go deep into the mountains and forests, and there is really no advantage at all. After marching into the mountains and forests, various diseases will appear, and thousands of people will get sick at one time. The terrain is unfamiliar, supplies are more difficult, and there is no one to fight.
No matter, come here to harass you, no matter what, there is no way to eradicate the weeds, so in the end, we simply built a city in the south, with Qiongzhou City as the center, with Zhechong Mansion and Tunbing Guards set up on both sides, with a total of nineteen camps, plus one Qiongzhou City. This is Nanguan.
After having Nanguan, Chang Chao also tried to get in touch with these people. Can we all be friends? It's boring to fight back and forth. If you are short of food and drink, tell me, big brother will give it to you.
This method works, but the problem is that the Fan people are also fighting among themselves. They change their eldest brother every three days, and the big brother comes again to cause trouble, or the lion opens his mouth. In short, the problem of the Nanguan Fan people has not been completely solved. Pass.
Qiongzhou City is different from Wangyuan City. The former is considered a military city, and there are three large camps stationed in the city. However, the management method is the same as Wangyuan City. There is no state capital, but a marshal's palace.
At this time, in the Marshal's Mansion, Bing Tao, Minister of the Ministry of War, was looking at the map. The map of Zhongzhou included not only the Chang Dynasty, but also the East China Sea, Liangrong, and even the mountains and forests beyond Nanguan.
Bing Tao's eyes focused on Beiguan, where Liang Rong was, and his brows furrowed.
After all, he is also a person who wants to rebel, so he will not pay attention to the movements on the north side.
The lieutenant general was called Fei Ruhu. He came from a well-known Fei family in Weijiang. He was originally the captain of Zhechong Mansion. After Bing Tao came, the first person he bribed was the Fei family. , intending to support him, and the two parties formed a cooperative relationship, so he took Fei Ruhu with him.
Whether it is Bing Tao or Fei Ruhu, he looks like a military general. Bing Tao is fifty-five years old, but he has already turned gray with gray hair and has a strong back. Wherever he goes, it brings tremendous pressure.
Fei Ruhu lives up to his name, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is also extremely majestic. What is rare is that he is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, has a rich family background, and has unique insights into the way to lead troops.
"This Liang Rong, I didn't expect to be restrained by a mere kid. What a joke."
Bing Tao turned around and sat on the stool, with a look of unwillingness on his face.
According to his idea, once Liang Rong attacks the northern border, the imperial court will send troops to reinforce Beiguan. At that time, he can organize Wu Wang Chang Chengke to raise the flag and stand on his own, with Liang Rong in the north, Wu Wang in the south, and Chang. When the government is in trouble, the East China Sea will inevitably be in chaos, and Zhongzhou will also be in chaos. At this time, it is also his opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
First, he used Wu King Chang Chengke to raise his flag and establish himself, cut off the Weijiang River with warships, and blockaded the south of Weijiang River. Then he killed Chang Chengke, replaced him, occupied the south of Weijiang River, and established himself as king.
But who could have imagined that Chang Chengke actually ran away and ran to the capital.
It's okay if Chang Chengke doesn't do his best. He asked his personal followers to go to the grassland before, met the Golden Wolf King, and made an appointment to do something together. Then the Golden Wolf King was worse than Chang Chengke, two pig teammates.
There is no movement in Liangrong, and those aristocratic families in the East China Sea and Yingdao are even less likely to take the initiative to show their faces. The Chang Dynasty is still the same Chang Dynasty, and continues to live in trouble. It is not worse, but it is not much better. Like a dying old man, he seems to be passing away every day, but he lies on the bed holding an oxygen tube every day.
Although he was unwilling to do so, Bing Tao was not in a hurry. Anyway, he was now in charge of Nanguan, and the court had given him military power. In addition, he felt that no one knew that he was harboring evil intentions, so he just had to wait patiently. He believed that the current situation in Chang Dynasty would lead to chaos sooner or later. , and just in the past few years.
I have to say that Bing Tao's idea is right.
In fact, Bing Tao didn't want to rebel at the beginning, but after serving in the army for so many years, he had seen too many things, and he had already despaired of the court. He was extremely sure in his heart that the Chang Dynasty would be destroyed sooner or later, the people would have no life, and the aristocratic families would run amok. The hall is full of wine and rice bags. It would be strange for such a court and such a country to survive. Since it is almost over, why does he, Bing Tao, continue to live for the Chang Dynasty? Why doesn't he become a hero in troubled times.
"Suanni."
After calling Fei Ruhu's word "Zi", Bing Tao smiled bitterly and said: "Since Liangrong in the grassland is unable to solve the problem, I'm afraid we will have to wait for a few more years."
Fei Ruhu smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, Chang Chao is about to die soon, so he can't wait long."
"Yes, but I don't know when King Wu Chang Chengke will be able to return to his fiefdom."
"It's difficult. I don't know how Chang Chengke went to Beijing. It's been half a year. I heard that he lives in Beijing and is at ease in the palace. Do you want to give up this huge fief?"
"That's all, even without him, it won't delay my great cause."
Bing Tao's mentality was quite stable. He took a sip of tea and smiled slightly: "I heard that your eldest son is getting married soon. I should take you back to celebrate."
A strange color flashed across Feiruhulian Mountain, but he quickly covered it up and shook his head: "Military affairs are the most important thing. At the beginning of spring last year, it has been more than a year now. The Chimu tribe in the mountain forest has repeatedly invaded the border, and the number of people has increased. There are more and more, and I have to be beaten every month, so I dare not go back."
When it comes to the Banren Chimu Tribe, Bing Tao is also extremely helpless: "Yes, it has been more than a year. It is impossible to defeat this savagery, but they always come to attack and harass me, which also makes me feel pain."
Fei Ruhu gave Bing Tao some tea and smiled bitterly.
The so-called Chimu tribe, I don’t know exactly how many people there are. Anyway, it seems that they have annexed many tribes in the mountains and forests. There are twenty to thirty thousand people in total. They come here every three days to cause trouble, at fixed times and places, and each time they throw away 1,800 corpses and then run away. It's like coming here to train troops. After the battle, we will send envoys over. When they come, the lion will speak loudly. If you don't want us to come and harass you, that's fine. Give us money, food, and wine.
If you don't want much, maybe Bing Taozhen will agree. After all, the south side is rich, and a few aristocratic families and officials can just put it together.
But this Chimu tribe was very playful. They didn’t ask for much at the beginning, so they had to spend all the food and drinks. In the end, they used the food and drinks to bribe other tribes, and then let these tribes follow him, thus annexing other tribes. Finally developed and expanded.
As it grows bigger, it will have more younger brothers. Then it will bring younger brothers over to harass them, beat them several times, and continue to ask for benefits. After asking for benefits, it will continue to grow and grow. When it grows stronger, it will continue to harass them. It's like a ploy. An industrial chain has been formed.
Bing Tao also had a bad temper. After being given several favors, he became completely angry. Then the two sides began to fight. No one could kill the other. This lasted for more than a year.
Neither of them wanted to mention this matter, and they got angry when they mentioned it. Bing Tao changed the subject: "Your eldest son, his name is..."
"Fei Gong."
"Yes, I met him once, and he is a very talented child."
Just as Fei Ruhu was about to answer, he ran in with his face full of bitterness.
"Commander, we are here again. We are looking for a horse to report. We are twenty miles away and there are about 10,000 people heading straight for Qiongzhou City."
Bing Tao was extremely calm. After all, he was used to it. He stood up and ordered: "Close the east, west, and south gates. The archers ascended the tower. The cavalry gathered on the three-door parapet, beat drums, and burned incense to meet the enemy. "
