7. Baishuijian Encounter (Part 1)

Lemi did not explain in detail what went wrong within the Wusun people, but he was obviously the loser or victim of this internal battle, otherwise the old king, his second brother Lelaso, would not have sent him there.

The big man went to ask for help.

If he is the winner, even if he is ordered to leave Chigu Castle to find reinforcements, it is impossible.

The distance from Jiaohe City to Baishui Stream is only more than 200 miles. If you advance at full speed, you may still have a little extra time in two days. Therefore, although Li Shushi still habitually sends out reconnaissance riders to conduct investigations within a radius of 30 miles, but

In fact, he didn't have much caution in his heart, not to mention that he already knew the movements of the Xianbei army and the small Xianbei troops staying here.

It can be said that there is no force in this area that can have much influence on them.

But Li Shushi soon discovered that he was really naive enough. Perhaps he was surrounded by some passive skills such as the "Trouble Attracting" aura or the "Quasi Tragedy Emperor" aura, so his "sweet dream" was destined not to come true.

"How could the Xianbei people's cavalry appear in front?!"

Facing the scout's reward, both Li Shushi and Ban Fu felt a little confused.

Didn't it mean that the Xianbei people who stayed behind were deceived by the chariot king to go to Beilu? Beilu and here are separated by a whole Bogda Mountain. Could it be that the Xianbei people flew over from Bogda Mountain?

Or is it because Beilu is too fragile, so the Xianbei people are preparing to engage in a front-to-back attack with the slave troops who originally stayed in Jiaohe City to help the rear of the Che Division completely unify the northeastern part of the Western Region?

A series of questions quickly popped up in Li Shushi's mind, but now was really not the time to think about these things.

The key issue is to capture those Xianbei scouts and search out whether there are more Xianbei scouts. Otherwise, even if Li Shushi and his party can evade the opponent, Li Shushi wants to avoid being discovered by the opponent's excellent detective skills.

, it is not easy not to be followed closely after discovering it. It is even possible that the other party is trying to trick your team and you don't know anything about it.

This is not alarmist. After all, the other party is in the position of the tracker and there are few people, so the target is small and easy to hide.

"We must get rid of these Xianbei people." Both Lu Bu and Ban Fu agreed with Li Shushi's proposal.

"But how can we ensure that all the opponents are caught?" Zhao Yun expressed his worries.

It is not difficult to deal with hundreds or even hundreds of Xianbei cavalry for Li Shushi, who still has more than 2,000 people in total. The problem is how to catch them all. Li Shushi does not want the Xianbei people to accurately grasp their marching route and possible needs.

time, after all, fighting in a wild place with the Xianbei people who were well prepared is just like fighting the Xianbei people and the well-prepared Li Shushi in the terrain that Li Shushi likes. It is an act of seeking cruelty.

After a little discussion a plan was drawn up.

The plan is not complicated - the troops are divided into two groups. Ban Fu will lead those who are capable of riding and shooting, and those who are good at tracking among the powerful private soldiers will stay together to drive and eliminate the Xianbei rangers, and use Ban Fu's sophisticated calculations to deal with this situation.

This situation was more than enough. Zhao Yun led the elite around Li Shushi and Luo He to sweep away the fish that had slipped through the net in this area.

As for the remaining people, under the leadership of Li Shushi, they quickly seized the Baishui Stream Pass. Whether the Xianbei people wanted to retreat or were forced to drive away, they had to pass through the Baishui Stream Pass, so that we could easily cut off their retreat.

Of course, if the Xianbei people suddenly decide to break out to the east, Li Shushi can let them go if they can't catch up, because when they bring the news to even the three thousand Xianbei troops nearby, they will be afraid of Li Shushi's side.

He's already gone.

Li Shushi stood on the hillside of Baishuijian Mountain Pass and looked down into the distance as the warm afternoon breeze with a hint of summer air blew.

Water is the source of life. This sentence can be said to be absolutely true, especially in the land of the Western Region. The slopes in front of you and on both sides are green with a little yellow. This is not the color of quicksand, but the color of quicksand.

Ocean of green meadows.

Although there is no broad river in the Baishui Basin, there are winding streams all over the mountain pass, and there are even some large and small wetlands in some places. It is not at all obvious that this is a northwest region with low average annual precipitation.

.

Although the slope is covered with a layer of gray, it still tenaciously shows its green Pinus sylvestris, coupled with the Populus euphratica forest, like a gray-green curtain, blowing by with the moist autumn wind.

, the swaying branches bring up bursts of green waves, making people feel that the fatigue on their bodies is relieved by this gentle dance of nature.

Realizing the gift from nature, a spiritual energy called unyielding was poured into the body at some point, and merged with the burning fighting spirit in the body to become an exciting emotion, making people more excited about the battle that may happen next.

Some expectations and determination.

However, among the white swords thrust into the sky and the green pines and poplars, there are many black spots that make the scenery look bad.

The black spots are large and small. The small one is no more than a protruding rock, but the large one is like the black hilt under the white sword. You can still see sporadic turquoise dots on the black hilt.

In particular, there is an iron-black rock at the other end of the mountain pass. It is right in the middle of the north entrance of the mountain pass. It is a very strategically located place. If you build a fortress there, you can control the entire mountain pass and work with Yiwu to control the area east of the mountain pass.

The northeastern part of the Western Region was included in the territory of the Han Dynasty. Coupled with the Gaochangbi in the middle, the Silk Road had a very stable channel.

Of course, it was precisely because he thought of Dabancheng, which was originally called Baishui Town in history but was eventually renamed to facilitate the memory of the locals, that Li Shushi suddenly understood what the black things he saw were.

Coal...this mineral deposit seems to be found all over the country but has huge strategic value.

In fact, Bingzhou itself is one of the main coal producing areas, but it has been buried until now because most people have not found the correct way to use this mineral. After all, just as fuel, it does not exceed the value of wood. After all,

Wood is easier to obtain and charcoal is easier to obtain. Most importantly, humans do not have smelters that require coal.

However, even this still made Li Shushi sigh with emotion at how amazing the wealth contained in the lower reaches of the Western Regions was.

I remember that the Secretary of State of a certain ethnic hodgepodge empire once said a very classic saying - If I buy it now, maybe many years later, our descendants will benefit from buying this land.

Think about it. In the 21st century, two countries are at war with each other over a few islands. The land area alone is more than 1.7 million square kilometers, which is so jaw-dropping to today's people.

Okay, the topic has gone too far, let us turn our attention to the battlefield.

Yes, this place has become a battlefield.

Although no Xianbei people appeared, this place has been greatly transformed by Li Shushi.

Although it sounds cool, in fact it is just a few simple defenses such as horse barriers and pits built with the help of the terrain. Although the entire mountain pass cannot be blocked, the Xianbei people who are anxious to choose their own way may not be able to just pass through the gaps on both sides.

Moreover, Li Shushi still has enough reserve teams here. Once the Xianbei people are really lucky enough, they must stay.

Although lining up the troops could definitely block the Xianbei people's footsteps, Li Shushi always felt an ominous feeling in his heart, as if there was an unknown danger waiting for him. This feeling was really uncomfortable.

Li Shushi described his feelings to Lu Bu. To his surprise, Lu Bu turned out to be solemn after listening to what he said. Such an expression was not common on Lu Bu's face. He usually looked excited when facing the enemy.

I look miserable during official duties

Boring, in daily life he is either careless (to men) or gentle and considerate (to ordinary women). Except for seeing such an expression on his face when he was studying with Tong Yuan, Li Shushi is basically rarely seen in the rest of the time.

arrive.

But every time it appears, it means that Lu Bu attaches great importance to something or someone.

Okay, the above sentence is actually nonsense.

However, it was Lu Bu who showed such an expression that he expanded the scope of the reconnaissance cavalry to a range of thirty miles outside the north entrance of Baishuijian Pass. Although Li Shushi had previously believed that those Xianbei people must have come from the north of the mountain, because he did not understand them

Therefore, he did not dare to send too many scouts to the north. If he was accidentally discovered by the other party and attracted the other party's attention, it would be more than worth the gain. However, this time Lu Bu was unusually determined.

"Whether you are a warrior or a general, it is better to believe in your own prediction of danger, because it can often see farther than your eyes, hear clearer than your ears, and think better than your brain.

Deeper.”

No one seems to be able to prove the working principle of the sixth sense, but no one denies its existence. Even veterans who have been fighting in the battlefield for many years still value this intuition. In their opinion, this kind of intuition

This mysterious feeling has helped them avoid many fatal experiences, and is even considered by some to be one of the signs of judging a warrior's level.

It was precisely because of Lu Bu's insistence that the same defense line was deployed to the north about a hundred feet away from the simple defense line in the south. And because it was in a valley, in terms of defensive power, it was even stronger than that in the south.

The defense line was slightly stronger, although Li Shushi still focused more energy on the south.

But the facts prove that although Li Shushi was lucky enough to predict the possible danger in advance, if it weren't for Lu Bu, he might have missed the reminder of fate because of his inexperience.

In fact, not long after Li Shushi and his party finished building the simple fortifications at Baishuijian Pass, a report came from the scouts returning from the north:

Enemies appear in the north, the number is unknown!

PS: Today is the May 4th Youth Day. I don’t know if I, the guy who is looking at Ben San, still belong to the vibrant team of youth, but let’s just consider it...

PS2: Today is the day when the Battle of the Coral Sea broke out in World War II. Although this was not a large-scale decisive battle, this battle still set a precedent - that is, the first beyond-visual-range naval battle. The two sides were no longer led by battleships.

The navigation ability and the gunner's aiming ability determine the outcome of a naval battle, but whoever first detects the enemy beyond visual range and attacks first determines the trend of the war.

Although the two sides can barely be called a tie in terms of tactics and battle loss ratio, it is like the Battle of Pingxingguan, although it was only a small victory, but it marked the breaking of the Japanese myth of invincibility on land and psychologically gave the people

To put it mildly, the Battle of the Coral Sea was like a great victory at sea, pulling Americans out of the shadow of the disastrous defeat at Pearl Harbor.

PS3: Today is the birthday of Audrey Hepburn. She is the most beautiful foreign female movie star in our hearts, bar none...

PSP: Today is the day that Tito, the founding father of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, passed away. Racial conflicts in Spain have always been serious, southwest France is also restless, and the British Isles are even more vengeful, but they are still a complete country...

PSV: On this day in 1991, the Supreme Soviet Union of Latvia officially adopted the "Declaration of Independence" and changed the country's name to the Republic of Latvia.

Well, in fact, the reason why we mentioned Latvia is because this country is actually the country with the smallest proportion of men in the population in the world according to statistics, and women account for 54% of the total population. Is it true?
