Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 644 The most ruthless revenge...

In the darkness of night, several fire dragons were still zigzagging on the forest path in southern Shonan, rolling and heading south.

As mentioned above, the terrain in southern Shonan is very complex, with mountains all over the place, fast-flowing streams, forests and small valleys and plains. The southernmost Nanling terrain needs no further explanation.Anyway, there are many mountains and mountains, but there are many rugged mountain trails in the mountains, and this is the biggest trouble.

The mountain people are familiar with geography, and fighting head-on is like hitting an egg against a stone, but is it just harassment?
Why did Lu Qian gather his army in the southeast?That's why.

Just like that yellow ghost.

The main road from Pingyang to Hengzhou was formed at the end of Tang Dynasty. In Qingli, northern Guangxi was occupied by Huang Zhugui and other desperadoes, and this road was once interrupted.The reason is that this road passes through the area where Yao people gather.The geographical terrain has inherent restrictions on the large corps' operations.

Unless the army really controls this forest!But how much power will be abolished, and how many soldiers and horses will be left to garrison?These are all problems.

Before Yang Zaili fooled all the mountain people in southern Hunan into Eight Banners soldiers, he would rather attack Bamin by force than let the army pass through this strange mountain forest.

The march of the army also involves material and logistical supplies. Once there is a move, the Qi army will be a large force of 10 people. If there is trouble due to the poor rear road, Lu Qian will feel disgusted.Therefore, it is better to fight Fujian.The latter has a sea boat division, and there is an army of '50' from Manichaeism.

In order to mobilize such a force, Fang La has already evacuated Hangzhou.They were all clamoring for Qin Ming to send troops to accept defense quickly.There are also Manichae sailors, and a group of people also set off from Hangzhou Bay and Zhoushan Islands, heading south to the Great Liuqiu.

Lu Qian didn't want to flip through Nanling to fight Guangdong and Guangxi.If the boat capsizes in the gutter, let alone how much you lose, you will lose your spirit first.You know, he now has the halo of "destiny" around him, and the morale of the soldiers is high.If they are defeated, the quality of the halo will be weakened all of a sudden.

Of course, although there is no large army in the land of southern Hunan, there are still garrison troops from the province, as well as the Zhengbai flag set up by Yang Zai.The latter has a lot of autonomy and is also eager to fight south.This is just like Lu Zhishen. Lu Qian did not set any hard targets for him. He decided on his own to attack Zhuo La City.

After Li Ganshun fled to the west, the party members moved west one after another, and the Xishou Baotai Army Division west of Weizhou became the place where Xia Qi and Qi clashed from time to time.It's just that the West Shoubaotai Army Division is really a headache. The latter is located to the north of Roulang Mountain, south of Weijing Mountain, west of Shaniu Ridge, and east of Lingbo Mountain.At the same time, there is Quwu Mountain to the south of Roulang Mountain, Hulu River to the east of Shaniuling Mountain, and Douling Mountain to the south.

At the same time, there are few women and children here, and there are many strong soldiers, which should be a tough bone.Brothers Yang Keshi and Yang Kesheng have raised troops to attack and kill many times, but they were trapped in the geographical terrain and could not break through for a while.

This time, Lu Zhishen simply abandoned Xishou Baotai Army Commander, and went directly to take Zhuoluo City on the north bank of the Yellow River.This is the headquarters of Xixia Zhuoluo and Nanjunsi, just across the Yellow River, across the river from Lanzhou City.This Lanzhou is the Lanzhou of later generations.

At the beginning Zhang Shuye made great achievements in Lanzhou City, and since then it has been smooth sailing in officialdom.Until Mrs. Zhang offended Cai Jing.

Zhuoluo City is located on the north bank of the Yellow River. If Lu Qian knew something about Lanzhou, he should know that this place is the Lanzhou New District of later generations, which is the Qinwangchuan Basin.Li Qianshun's layout here is similar to that of Xishou Baotai Army Division, both of whom are young and strong women.

The Han people were unfamiliar with the geographical terrain on the other side of Lanzhou, and even those veteran generals of the Western Army didn't know it well.But now it is different, the Qi army has captured Lingwu, Li Qianshun fled in embarrassment, and brother Li Cha struggled to support in the north of Lingwu.Under such an unfavorable situation, the party should be so strong that there is no one who is willing to surrender?
As tenacious as the devil soldiers during World War II, there is also the Japanese Anti-War League, let alone party members.

As it is now, there are party members who are familiar with the terrain leading the way, and the unfamiliar other side of the Yellow River is like Lu Zhishen's backyard.Shan Wan's army boldly walked through it, not only did not have to worry about being ambushed by the party members, but even the party members could not be noticed!
It's just that this road is still a bit hard.

After all, this place is full of ravines, earth and mountains, and the party members never know how to build bridges and pave roads. They have always adhered to the purpose of "there are too many people who have no roads in the world, and they will become roads." At least this is the case here in Zhuoluo City. so-so.

So you can imagine how difficult this march is.There is not even a road leading directly to Zhuoluo City.On the contrary, in some places you can see dilapidated and scattered infrastructure, as well as beacon-like existences.But no one can guarantee that they were built by the Xixia people, and more people think that they may have come from the Tang Dynasty.

Along the way, the soldiers of the supply battalion were busy opening the road ahead, opening roads in the mountains and filling bridges when encountering water, it was not a joke.

Just like the previous Yellow River pontoon bridge, forty large wooden mats were connected end to end, tied with iron chains, and thousands of sheepskin rafts were tied on both sides. It took two days and nights to finally complete the pontoon bridge.Fortunately, time has entered March, and the upper reaches of the Yellow River are not only free from ice floes, ice floods, but also peach blossom floods.The latter just passed.Otherwise, it would be very difficult for the army to cross the river, and Lu Zhishen would never dare to take risks easily.

The closer the soldiers and horses were to Zhuoluo City, the more excited Lu Zhishen became.He is also from the Western Army, and he is even more hateful and hateful than the Khitan people.As for Weicheng, which was guarded by Xiaozhong back then, it was Weizhou directly to the north. How far was it from Zhuoluo City?
"Why does the general find it harder to hold back than when he recovered his spirit?" Wang Jin looked at the excitement on Lu Zhishen's face, and felt amused.

That day when the army recovered Lingwu and broke through Xiping, it was like celebrating, but Lu Zhishen was not so calm.

Rubbing his bald head with his big hand, Lu Zhishen said with a little embarrassment, "The instructor laughed at me." Lu Zhishen regarded Shi Jin as a brother, and treated Wang Jin more solemnly.Don't call him by name, don't call him official position, just call him instructor.

"But His Majesty has said that the most ruthless revenge is not to kill the other party cleanly, but to make it suffer while alive, and life is worse than death."

"Back then in Shuibo Liangshan, when we talked about killing Gao Kan, His Majesty once said that killing Gao Kan with one knife was too cheap for him. You should get rid of his sense of right and wrong and let him enter the palace to do that. The eunuch, if you are determined but powerless, you are right."

Wang Jin, Li Yanxian, Wang Yuan and others laughed out loud.Niu Gao said: "Could it be that the general is talking about that western thief?"

Lu Zhishen said: "That's not the case. Last year we broke Xiping and entered Xingqing. It was a pity that the thief Li escaped early in the Sajia family. However, thinking about it today, he would have to live a life of ups and downs. All day long, the grass and trees are full of soldiers, full of fear and sincerity. Only after suffering all the hardships can we relieve the hatred in the hearts of millions of people in the Northwest."

The surrounding generals nodded together again, thinking of the frightened bird, the roar of the wind, the roar of the cranes, and the soldiers on the grass and trees, they all thought of it.

They said in unison: "It should be so."

"Before catching that Li thief, kill his brother first, so that he knows the pain of losing his limbs; then rob his wife and kill him, so that he knows what it means to have a family ruined and a family destroyed. It is so painful." Zhe Yanzhi gritted his teeth, I can't wait to let Li Qianshun taste all the pain in the world, that's the joy.Zhejia and Dangxiang people have had a blood feud for 200 years, and this enmity is irreconcilable.

Orihiko's words made Lu Da and the others listen happily, "The family is happy to hear this." It was like drinking a jug of ice water in the summer, refreshing!
Lu Zhishen turned his head and confronted Zheyan: "General Zhe Mo Ruo, please transfer to Longxi. Your Majesty has a high vision and a big heart. Let alone the Western Regions, he only said that the western thieves must be wiped out first. General Zhe came to Longxi. That’s where it comes in handy.”

His bottom line this year is to win Xiliang Mansion, which is also known as Wuwei County in the Han Dynasty. It was named after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to demonstrate the martial arts and military might of the Han Empire army."Golden Wuwei, Silver Zhangye" on the Silk Road refers to this place.

In the hands of the Xixia people, it was a prosperous place, the western capital of Xixia, and one of the two major economic centers.Countless Uighur merchants trade here, buying porcelain, silk, etc. from the Central Plains from the Xixia people. Since ancient times, it has been the central city that controls the three major plateaus [Loess, Qinghai-Tibet, Mongolia and Xinjiang] and the Western Regions.It is also one of the nodes of the Belt and Road Initiative for later generations of super muscle rabbits.

Li Qianshun fled directly to Xuanhua Mansion earlier, that is, Zhangye in Han Dynasty.But he was shameless, and after he settled his mind, he returned to Xiliang Mansion, which calmed the panicked hearts of the party members a little.

"After taking down Zhuoluo City, Xiliang Mansion will not be far away."

Therefore, Lu Zhishen had to attack Zhuoluo City.That is the core of Xixia Zhuo and the Southern Army Division, and it is also an important stronghold used by Xixia to control the north bank of the Yellow River.No matter whether it is going east or west, if Zhuocheng is not controlled, and Zhuo and the Southern Army Division are not leveled, the grain road and the back road may be cut off at any time.

Then it can directly threaten Xiliang Mansion.

"After conquering Zhuoluo City, we went northward from Kaluochuan to Hongchi Ridge. The western thieves set up a stronghold under Hongchi Ridge [Wushao Ridge], named Jisang. After passing here, we can see Xiliang house."

Since ancient times, Wushaoling has been the gateway and throat of the Hexi Corridor, the hub of the ancient Silk Road, and an important military location, so its geographical location is very important.Later generations of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway and the Gansu-Xinjiang Highway (National Highway 312) all passed through Wushaoling.It is also the dividing line between monsoon and non-monsoon regions.

Zhuoluo City was still to be won, Lu Zhishen was thinking about Xiliang Mansion, this ambition is not small.

……

Night shrouded the earth.

A round of exquisite crescent moon hangs on the tip of the tree, and the dense moonlight shines on every piece of land on the earth through the leaves.In the dark sky, countless sparkling stars came out unwilling to be lonely, showing their charm.A transparent gray cloud gently obscured the moonlight.

The Kalo River flowing from the northwest glowed silver under the moonlight, and the bright moonlight fell on the water, reflecting the hurriedly marching army on the river bank.

Lu Zhishen stood by the water, his whole body was like a rock, his eyes fixed on Zhuoluo City where a dark silhouette could already be seen.The ditches at the corners of his eyes are the wind and frost of the years, and what remains unchanged is his shiny bald head.
