There was a lot of noise in the camp, and all the soldiers were performing their duties and preparing to break out of the camp.
After a night's rest, Wu Huaiyu was full of energy, but Gao Twelve and Lu Sanwu, who came to bring him breakfast, looked a little haggard, as if they hadn't slept well last night.
"This ancient building is very well done, with all the colors, flavors and aromas."
"We made this for our husband in person early in the morning." Gao Twelve said.
Huaiyu didn't feel greasy after eating the mutton pie. Lu Chengye came over and asked the girl for two without being polite. Looking at the protruding monolith in front of the ancient pass, he said, "The governor's frontier fortress poems are famous all over the world. Why not leave a poem here?"
, carved on stone?”
Building a stone into a monument seems to be the most romantic thing that ancient military commanders did when they went out to fight.
This stone stands abruptly here, but it has also witnessed the construction and destruction of the Great Wall of Yan and the Great Wall of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Now there are only some ruins of the ancient pass, but this huge stone is still there.
Huaiyu thought for a while and said, "Let's set up a monument next to it. I will write a poem and Lu Canjun will write an article to record our army's patrolling the border."
"Listen to Shaobao's new poem!"
"The bright moon of the Qin Dynasty passed the Han Dynasty, and the people who marched thousands of miles have not yet returned.
But let the flying generals of Dragon City be here and not teach Huma how to cross the Yin Mountains."
When this poem came out, Lu Chengye was amazed. He was also very talented and well-known in the history of poetry, calligraphy and painting, but when this poem came out, he still admired him endlessly.
"Good poetry, good poetry."
On the other hand, Lu Sanwu said somewhat directly, "The first line of Xianggong's poem is indeed wonderful, but in the following lines, although Xianggong cares about the people, why does he seem to lament that the country has no good generals?"
Lu Chengye hurriedly said to his sister, "My sister is wrong. This poem begins with Han Pass, the bright moon of the Qin Dynasty. It laments the changes in history, but the war has not ended. It also writes that the conscripts have not been returned, and how many men have died on the battlefield, leaving behind
How much sadness,
The last sentence does not mean that the country has no good generals, but it expresses the common expectation of countless people for thousands of years, hoping that from generation to generation there will be dragon city flying generals to guard the border, quell chaos, and stabilize the border defense.
Look at Shaobao's poem, which uses ordinary words, but expresses a powerful and open-minded heart. The momentum is smooth and it is completed in one go. It is so recited that it makes people gasp in admiration.
But from what I read, this poem was written by Shaobao, but it also had the ideal spirit of being a flying general, guarding the frontier for the Tang Dynasty and the people, and not teaching Hu Ma to cross the Yin Mountains.
You see, isn’t it now that Shaobao appeases the queen of the mountains and then leads an army of 20,000 people out of the fortress?”
Wu Huaiyu looked at Lu Chengye with admiration.
People should read more books, otherwise all they can do when trying to flatter him is to say that the governor is powerful and his husband is a wise man, wow, he is so awesome.
You see, Lu Chengwulang is indeed a famous scholar in Hebei and a talented man with the fifth surname. Once Wu Huaiyu recited a poem, he could immediately analyze and praise it in all aspects. If he goes to the college entrance examination, he will definitely get extra points.
If this guy takes the Ming Jing exam, he will definitely pass the exam in one fell swoop.
Huaiyu asked Lu Chengye to write a poem, "Going out of the Great Wall", about how they left Youzhou, comforted the people behind the mountains, and patrolled the northern part of the Great Wall to meet Tuli Khan and the chiefs of Xi Qi.
Fu has a fixed format and is a test of literary talent.
But Lu Chengye also wrote as soon as he picked up the pen and wrote it in one go.
A poem about Governor Wu's departure from the fortress is worth 1,080 words. The words are gorgeous and romantic. It not only describes what happened, but also highlights Wu Huaiyu's majesty and the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Worthy of the Five Langs in White Robes.
"Commander, this is a frontier fortress with difficult terrain. Why not raise money and food, recruit civilians, and rebuild the old Great Wall?"
Lu Chengye is a native of Youzhou. It is said that his ancestors helped build the Great Wall of the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Northern Wei Dynasty, and a section of it extended to this point.
He also proposed a specific route for building this section of the Great Wall, starting from Dajianshan in Beiyanzhou in the west, which is the north of Suoyang Pass at the junction of Xuanhua, Chongli and Chicheng counties in later generations, to Dukou and going southeast along the Heihe River and the
The watershed of Baihe River passes through Zhen'anbao in later generations, and Ma Daoliang from Longmen to Houcheng enters Yongning Sihai in Yanqing and joins the Badaling section, with a total length of 460 miles.
This section of the Great Wall basically encompasses most of the newly established Chicheng County.
However, the Heihe River Basin was not enclosed, let alone the Tanghe area that was previously vacated by the Xi tribe in the Tanghe River Basin who moved away for fear of being affected.
This section of the Great Wall was repaired by the Yan State, the Northern Wei Dynasty, and later the Northern Qi Dynasty. However, it needs to be rebuilt now, which is also a big project.
Wu Huaiyu shook his head directly.
"Offense is the best defense. Now that the world has just been unified, everything is in ruins and the people's livelihood is in decline. There is no spare time to recruit civilians on a large scale to build the Great Wall. Even if it is more than 400 miles, it is still a big project."
"Just repair a few forts,"
Wu Huaiyu called Kangpo Duan Shen and others, and pointed at the Dushikou Pass in front of him, "Let's make some calculations and make a budget first. Red Castle, Baiyun Fort, Monolith Fort, and this half-walled fort, Pine Tree Fort, and so on.
There are Zhen'an, Zhenning, Jing'an, Yongning, Chang'anling Fort, Diaowo Fort and other forts. Make a plan and budget for them all to see how much labor, money, food, time, etc. will be needed for restoration and renovation."
"We live within our means. We can do whatever we need with the amount of food we have. We should focus on the most important repairs first. The monolithic fortress must be at the front of the queue. Repair this door first, and the other forts will follow one by one."
Instead of building the Great Wall, it is better to build forts that connect various valleys in the mountains. The forts form a chain, and we no longer have to work hard to build the Great Wall. Although the Great Wall does have many important functions, the cost is very high.
When you have enough strength, the fortress tactic is still good and more active.
Wu Huaiyu even pointed to the map rudely. In the past, the tradition was that the watershed between the Baihe River and the Heihe River was used as the boundary. The Baihe Red River Basin in the west, and the original Great Wall in the west. The circled area belonged to the Central Plains. Outside the Great Wall was the Hu
The boundary between people and land.
Heihe, Tanghe, etc. all belong to the Xi tribe.
Wu Huaiyu now pointed to the watershed between the Tang River and the Chao River on the map and drew a line, "Now there is no Xi tribe to the west of this watershed, so this is the boundary line between Tang Dynasty and Xi. The Tang River, Heihe River and Baihe River are east of the watershed.
, the Red River, all belong to our Tang Dynasty, and the north reaches directly to the border of the grassland."
"You take people to explore the boundaries of the land, draw maps, and set up more boundary monuments on the watershed. This time I will go to meet with Tuli. When the time comes, the chiefs of the Khitan tribe will also come, and I will make an agreement with them.
boundary."
With just one word, Wu Huaiyu encircled a large area of Xi Ren's territory.
Li Tang, who has not yet unified the world, has been invaded by the Turks again and again, just as casually as his own backyard, while Xi and Qi have always acted as vassals and thugs of the Turks, including the Tiele people who are now self-reliant in Mobei.
The same is true, so when the Tang Dynasty became stronger, it was natural to take away some of their territory. They also had to be grateful that the Tang Dynasty only wanted a little bit of the valley they gave up, instead of raising troops to investigate and destroy their clan.
A team of craftsmen were left behind to make stele inscriptions at Dushikou, and Kang Po, Duan Shen and others were leading a group of scribes to measure and plan the reconstruction plan of their own Dushi Fort. Wu Huaiyu and others led the army to continue their journey north of the fortress.
The scenery outside the Great Wall is very good.
After we left the mountains and reached the grasslands, it became much colder and the wind howled.
Fortunately the road is smooth.
Tuli also sent his younger brother Ashina to join a group with hundreds of cavalry and drive many cattle and sheep to meet him. They offered labor from cattle and sheep, and then led the way to Jinlian River.
Jie Shuishe is an old friend of Huaiyu.
In the ninth year of Wude's reign, the Turks invaded. This guy acted as the envoy's incompetent bodyguard. As a result, he became arrogant and arrogant in the Forbidden Garden. He was beaten unceremoniously by Wu Huaiyu and was jailed for a few days. However, we don't know each other without beating. Now this guy looks like
Wu Huaiyu was very enthusiastic.
This is because as early as when Huaiyu was the governor of Lingzhou, he had started a mutual trade with Tuli. This guy came to Shuofang several times on behalf of Tuli, and the business between the two parties was quite good.
This guy now also holds the title of a Tang Lieutenant General, came to see Wu Huaiyu, and specially changed into a scarlet robe.
"How is your brother doing lately?"
"No, that old dog Jieli bullied others too much. He forced my brother again and again. If my brother hadn't kept forbearing, he would have started fighting long ago." He said bluntly.
"You can't bear it anymore. There's no need to bear it anymore. You can't be oppressed all your life. Buddhas compete for a stick of incense, and people compete for a breath." Huaiyu said with a smile.
"After all, Jieli is a great Khan and has strong soldiers and horses. My brother can't do anything about it."
"Back then, your grandfather Qimin Khan was just a young Khan of Tuli. However, when he was repeatedly oppressed by Dulan Khan, he did not choose to be a coward for the rest of his life. Instead, he rose up to resist. Although he suffered setbacks, he
In the end, wouldn’t it be with the support of my Central Plains court that we would finally defeat Du Lan and become the Great Khan of the Grasslands?”
Wu Huaiyu knew Jiushesu very well. He didn't have much ability, but he had some arrogance and arrogance. He was in his early twenties and thought that the children of the Lang family were very crazy.
Although he is not even a setter, he is also the most disgusted with Jieli Khan.
Because Jieli often found trouble with them and sent people to collect taxes from them and ask them to pay tribute. Although Tuli no longer listened to the propaganda, he did not dare to quarrel with them directly, so he could only pay tribute to Jieli frequently.
Livestock and property also included association rates, so of course he was dissatisfied.
Wu Huaiyu calmly told the association to let their brothers start a business.
It doesn't matter if it's useful or not, just instill it more.
"With the full support of the Tang Dynasty, is Tuli Khan inferior to your grandfather? If this is the case, then Tuli Khan has greatly disappointed the saint.
Maybe we in the Tang Dynasty should find another person who is ambitious and courageous to support us."
As he spoke, he deliberately looked at the association rate.
His heart was pounding when he saw the association rate. Damn it, is it really a good thing coming from heaven? I think back when his grandfather Xiaotuli Khan Rangan, and Dulan Khan were both sons of Sabolo Khan, the seventh founding emperor.
In 1999, Shabolu Khan was seriously ill. Because his son Yong Yulu was weak in character and Ranqian was young, he left his last words to let his younger brother Chu Luohou succeed to the throne.
The Marquis of Chuluo succeeded to the throne and was named Yehu Khan. In fact, Yehu Khan had been jealous of his brother earlier, so he had secretly attached himself to the Sui envoy Sun Sheng, and secretly attached himself to the Sui Dynasty. When Sha Bolue was dying, he also knew that if his son
Succession would definitely end badly, so I had no choice but to let this rebellious brother succeed to the throne.
Yehu Khan was more ambitious, but unfortunately he did not live long. After he ascended the throne, he went west to capture Apo Khan alive, but when he subsequently attacked Persia, he died under the poisonous arrows of the Persian army. He only reigned for one year, and everyone supported Yehuyong.
Yu Lu was the Great Khan, Dulan Khan. After he succeeded to the throne, he appointed his younger brother Tuli Khan.
Because Dulan adopted Princess Kedun of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and believed that the princess was hostile to the Sui Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty turned to support Tuli Khan Rangan. In the end, Dulan was defeated and Rangan became the Great Khan.
During this period of history, the association rate of Ranqian’s grandson is of course very clear.
It can be said that Ye Hu Khan and Qimin Khan were able to become khans all because of the support of the Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains. And those khans such as Shabolue, Abo, Datou, and Dulan who fought against the Sui Dynasty,
They were all defeated because of their rebellion against the Sui Dynasty.
Today's Tang Dynasty is no longer the Tang Dynasty that was oppressed by the Turks.
The leader of the association is young, and he has little status in the Turks. If he cannot establish a feudal state, he has no right to establish a feudal vassal, let alone become a junior khan, second khan, Yehu, or great khan.
Now that such an opportunity suddenly appears in front of me, it would be a lie not to be tempted.
He swallowed his dry throat and asked, "What does Mr. Wu think of me?"
