Chapter 713 Faceless against the elders in my hometown
"Does Yunfei know when your kid comes out?" Shangguan Qiji asked sharply.
"Look at what you said, Fat Brother. If my eldest brother and the others knew about it, would they let me out?" Ouyang Yunyi said with a smile, "But the eldest sister knew about it, but she didn't stop me and asked me to listen to Brother Xiao.
If so, for a well-behaved child like me, my eldest sister’s advice is completely unnecessary.”
"You kid is seeking death! Going out without following the order of the sect master is a big violation of the family rules." Shangguan Qiji said, "Aren't you afraid that your elder brother will skin you?"
"Even if I'm willing to be cut off, I have to go horse-riding in Yanyun... Fat brother, you're still talking about me. Didn't you sneak out?" Ouyang Yunyi replied.
"I am an adult and you are a child, how can I be the same?" Shangguan Qiji was immediately discouraged.
"When you were as old as me, you used to run around everywhere!" Ouyang Yunyi said, "I know the details about you, Fat Brother, but then again, my eldest brother might really come out to chase you because of his temper."
Hey, let’s not take the main road, I know there is a trail here, it’s easier to walk and it can save a lot of distance.”
After saying that, he squeezed the horse's belly with his legs and called Xiao Ye to join him. The two brothers should lead the way.
"Yanyun County is really busy now." Shangguan Qiji sighed, "This little brat is a source of trouble. Wherever he goes, he won't stop."
"I quite like that the two of them have each other's company." Xiao Chen said.
"Hehe, I advise you not to rejoice too early!" Shangguan Qiji sneered.
But Ouyang Yunyi and Xiao Ye were riding side by side and chatting while walking.
"Did you think that I would not come to see you off after falling asleep?" Ouyang Yunyi said.
"Yeah." Xiao Ye nodded, "But I know you will come eventually."
"Really? I also know you will think so. By the way, your horse is really a good horse. It is a sweaty horse, right?" Ouyang Yunyi is similar in size to Xiao Ye, but they are walking side by side.
But it was one head shorter, because Xiao Ye's horse was much taller than his.
"It's not a sweat horse, it's a rouge horse. It can be regarded as a kind of sweat horse. This kind of horse doesn't run very fast, but it has great strength and endurance. My Tianyue is very heavy, but ordinary horses can't.
If you can't bear it, then this one can't do it either. Why don't you see that there are several more behind you? You have to take turns riding them," Xiao Ye said.
"Can you get me one when you get to Yanyun County?" Ouyang Yunyi was very envious.
"Okay, I heard that they will have a group of horses coming from the Western Regions in the near future. Maybe there will be purebred sweat horses. I will come to see you off then." Xiao Ye said.
"Gah! I heard that the sweat-blooded horse is extremely precious, and there are only a few of them in the world. If there is one, Brother Xiao and the others are not allowed to stay. Can it be our buddies' turn?" Ouyang Yunyi said.
"My brother will give it to me if I want it." Xiao Ye actually knows his brother very well. Although he scolds him at every turn, beats him when he raises his hand, and kicks him when he raises his foot, in fact, he is kind to himself, not to mention asking for a horse.
A sweaty horse, even if it costs my brother's life, he will never frown!
"Brother Xiao is so kind to you?" Ouyang Yunyi expressed envy.
"That's not true. He scolds me all day long and beats me. He likes to kick me the most... Let's walk faster. If my brother hears me, he will beat me up again." Xiao Ye said and kept looking back.
He was afraid that Xiao Chen would suddenly kick him and knock him off the horse.
The two of them rode quickly and quickly disappeared from the sight of Xiao Chen and others. Fortunately, there was only one trail that Ouyang Yunyi took them on, and there were no bifurcations, so they couldn't lose it.
"This was the way of war back then." Zhao Gongming squinted his eyes and talked about the past.
At that time, Li Wanjiang had just started an uprising in the Chu region, and hundreds of thousands of Han troops blocked all the ways out to the east.
To the south, Duan Pingzhang's troops pressed hard against Dongting Lake. To the west, Murong Heng's general led an army of 50,000 troops to suppress him. To the north, there were 30,000 elite cavalry led by Mr. Li, who surrounded Li Wanjiang on all sides and wanted to trap him alive.
die.
But unexpectedly, Li Wanjiang used a plan to build a plank road openly and secretly attack Chen Cang.
He deliberately sent his younger brother Li Wanyun to lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to forcefully attack eastward. Although he encountered repeated obstacles and suffered heavy casualties, he still rushed out desperately, in a situation where both sides suffered losses.
The generals in the east thought that Li Wanjiang was struggling to his death, so they did not fight back. They just set up ten-mile company camps on both sides of the only main road in the east and set up a dragnet to wait for work, slowly consuming Li Wanjiang's vitality.
Because this is the only road to the east. There are mountains, cliffs, deep mountains and old forests on both sides. There are no passages in the mountains at all. Let alone soldiers and horses, it is difficult for even local hunters to pass, so this
The general firmly believed that if Li Wanjiang wanted to advance eastward, he could only come from the main road and there was no other way.
But unexpectedly, Li Wanjiang actually had 30,000 elite soldiers at that time, and he requisitioned almost all the strong laborers in the Chu region. He worked day and night to clear a road in the mountains, and it took less than two months to build it.
A road for carriages and horses!
So when Li Wanjiang led 30,000 elite soldiers to suddenly rush out from behind them, hundreds of thousands of Han soldiers immediately panicked and formed a mess, and were dispersed in less than half a day.
Li Wanjiang got rid of the siege, like a wild horse that escaped the reins, a tiger with wings, galloping across the land of the Central Plains, smashing the Han Dynasty to pieces!
Later, he repeatedly made clever plans and set many traps to trap Duan Pingzhang's army. Duan Pingzhang led his troops to fight desperately and could not break through, and even died for his country.
As soon as Duan Pingzhang died, the entire Dian territory fell. Li Wanjiang occupied the southeastern half, and based on this, he slowly eroded away the Han soldiers and horses, and finally took over the world.
"I don't know how many people from Chu died here back then?" Zhao Gongming raised his whip and pointed at the deep ravine below the road, "The woods below are full of dead bones. It is said that every time the moon is full, the mountains and plains are filled with the sound of ghosts crying.
"
At that time, Li Wanjiang drove nearly a million civilians to build roads here. It is said that after the roads were built, half of the people were buried here.
After all these years, the people in the land of Jingchu are still in vain, just because too many people died back then...
After Li Wanjiang ascended the throne, he never returned to his hometown. Maybe he felt that he was too embarrassed to face the elders of Jingchu?
The local people in Jingchu are not proud that Li Wanjiang has become emperor. On the contrary, many people hate him to the core!
Not only did hundreds of thousands of people die while building the road, there were 200,000 Jingchu disciples who followed Li Wanjiang in the uprising. How many are left now?
I'm afraid there won't even be 10,000 people left!
Damn it, everyone in our family is dead, but you, the boy, became the emperor and enjoyed the glory and wealth... I want to ask you, the emperor, whether you are guilty or not!
So maybe Li Wanjiang didn't have the shame to come back, but he didn't dare to come back at all because he was afraid that the Jingchu folks would poke his spine and curse his ancestors.
Later, he even moved his ancestral graves to Fengyang, probably because he was afraid of being destroyed by fellow villagers...
