Chapter 699 Today’s Country
The scenery of the North Country, thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow.
At the time of need, Zhao Changhe, who had no poetry in the stomach, was in his heart when he was empty.
Not only because the author is the person I admire the most, but also because at this moment, I am in a similar state of mind.
Every time I see the evening makeup, my heart will slow down unconsciously. No matter how nervous or anxious the atmosphere is, she always has such magic power.
Qinghe Langya, walking in a hurry, seems to be flying around in the sky, but in fact there is no leisure time to look at the mountains and rivers below. But this time when I left Beijing, the speed was still about the same, but my heart felt much more peaceful. Sitting on the Wuzui, I felt like looking at the scenery, and the poem came to my mind.
Such a magnificent world, such magnificent mountains and rivers.
The country is so beautiful that it attracts countless heroes to bow down.
Zhao Changhe doesn't know who can be called a hero in today's world. Not only compared with this lyricist, but also compared with the emperors in the lyrics, no one can be even remotely close.
I once said that the world is disappointing, but only Yue Hongling reflects the dreams in my heart.
But if you look at Yu Xuli Shen Tong and the others from the perspective of the world, they are all fairly popular, and the world is not bad at all. However, when looking at the world, their structure suddenly felt inferior, so the world was more disappointing than the Jianghu, but the Jianghu in memory became more beautiful.
Fortunately, there are still late Tang makeup styles in the world, both in the past and now.
The Sixiang Sect, which has converted from a demonic sect to a state religion, is obviously showing a positive trend. Xia Chichi is determined to do what his father could not do and bring peace to the world; Zhuque is also focused on managing internal troubles and fighting against foreign invaders. Although the current imperial court is weak, short of money, food, soldiers, horses, officials and everything, it has begun to have a kind of vitality, a kind of strength that unites everyone to move forward towards the same goal.
What a world, what a world, the troubled times of the older generation are over, and even the blind are considering re-ranking...
Let’s look at today.
Wuzhui hovered in the sky between Hangu Pass and Tongguan. Zhao Changhe looked down at the guards at Tongguan who were gradually increasing their troops, with a cold expression.
After all the families rebelled, it was obvious that they quickly formed separate regimes based on their geographical locations. Just as the Wang family occupied the entire Qilu land, the Cui family occupied Hebei, the Yang family occupied Henan, and the Li family also controlled the entire Guanzhong. The watershed between it and the Yang family These are the two great passes.
The distance between the two passes is actually very close, and you can see both ends at the same time from a high altitude.
To the west of Tongguan is the territory of the Li family, and to the east of Hangu is the territory of the Yang family. Each family occupies one pass.
In response, the Yang family's soldiers and horses arrived in Hangu to confront the Li family. Of course, in theory, the Yang family can no longer call on soldiers and horses at this time, but it is still early to reorganize the army. The Yang family is still managing the army here, including logistics supply.
On the surface, this is a confrontational situation, but in fact, the Yang family is at a disadvantage. First of all, because Hangu Pass has been abandoned for a long time, it can no longer be regarded as a great pass. The pass city is not complete, and it is not on the same level as Tongguan. This is also very close to Zhao Changhe's understanding in this world. This is determined by geography, and the culture of any world will lead to a similar inevitable trend. Secondly, the Yang family has never had a strong desire to separate the country or even compete for hegemony. Its preparations cannot be as strong as the Li family, which has been silently accumulating strength. There is a huge gap in military strength and food, so it is unrealistic to rely on the Yang family to hold on. Once they are broken through, they will go straight to Luoyang.
Fortunately, the Li family took a detour to the north of Taihang and attacked the capital, but were ambushed. Suzaku suffered heavy losses due to the fierce fire and was unable to organize a new attack for a while. But their own strength is not that important. What is important is that they are mixed with the barbarians. The Hu people's loss of those light cavalry did not hurt their muscles and bones, it was still a breathless dark cloud pressing down on the north.
Before leaving Beijing, I received news from Sanniang from outside the Great Wall.
Batu suffered a great defeat and lost all the small tribes that were originally attached to him. They then attached themselves to the Great Khan Timur, leaving only his own fighting lion tribe, which suffered heavy casualties and fled in panic. I was driven all the way to the northwest desert. It was extremely miserable in the wind, snow and ice. I didn’t know how to survive the twelfth lunar month.
Forget Batu's misery, but he originally guarded the front line in the northern desert for everyone. It was not just the Yanmen barrier - you must know that the location of the capital is also a typical front line. Xia Longyuan's position here already has a very strong sense of the emperor guarding the country. mean. This time Xia Longyuan is gone, and so is Batu, and Guanzhong has become a place to attract wolves. It can be said that the Yanmen Defense Line alone is almost meaningless...
The only consolation is that Batu is not dead after all. No matter how miserable the War Lion tribe is, they still exist. As long as they can avoid being frozen to death and starving to death, there is a needle hanging behind Timur's side, making it difficult for him to go south unscrupulously. Attack.
After all, it was windy, snowy and icy. It was enough to attack Batu in a surprise attack. It was obviously too difficult to attack the dangerous pass of Yanmen or go over the mountains to attack the capital. No one would be able to hold back if Batu stabbed him from behind again.
From the current point of view, spring has just begun. Timur's movements will be more focused on forcing Batu to death, and then waiting for the spring to go south is the right military path. All the wars in the past few months have gone against common sense. No one has been able to do this all the time. Do this.
Sanniang’s journey north was extremely timely, otherwise Batu would have been cut down and the War Lion tribe would have perished. Now everyone would be facing a much more difficult situation. But now it has become a short respite, just in time for the Xin Dynasty, which has just experienced great turmoil, to take a breath, digest the results of Langya's victory and the Yang family's retreat, and rejuvenate the nearly paralyzed capital.
It also allowed Zhao Changhe and Zhuque to leave Beijing and do the planned things.
Zhao Changhe stared at the torches up and down Tongguan for a long time, resisting the urge to go down and kill everyone, and finally clamped his horse's belly and continued walking southwest.
The tacit understanding that Huangshang kept saying still needs to be maintained. If you can massacre Tongguan, and others can massacre other places, it will be a mess... The other party's masters are no less than yourself, in fact, they are more. When I violated the tacit understanding before, I was just brushing aside. In theory, I was really a person on the ground list... This kind of brushing aside could never happen again, and it wouldn't work if I did it again.
It is not necessarily true that Hangu is weak. Yangyang is in Hongnong at this time, which is not too far away... Maybe the work that the Yang family can do will surprise the Li family.
Miao territory is very far away, even if it takes a long time to fly, Wu Zhui also needs to rest and eat. Zhao Changhe did not force him. At nightfall, he rode his horse and landed in Xiangyang.
This is also my own territory. When Lu Shiheng was killed, it was Tang Wanzhuang's people who came to pick up the prefect. Some of the city guards were still responsible for people from the Blood God Sect. rudder.
Zhao Changhe originally planned to rest here for one night before leaving, but he did not expect that he would encounter new events even if he stopped here.
