The scenery of the North is covered in ice and snow.
Classmate Zhao Changhe, who always has no poems in his stomach when needed, this time when he rode into the sky, the whole poem echoed in his heart over and over again without missing a single word.
Not only because the author is the person I admire the most, but also because at this moment, I feel the same way.
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 was traveling in such a hurry that it seemed like they were flying around in the sky, but in fact they had no time to look at the mountains and rivers below. But this time when I left the capital, my speed was still about the same, but my heart felt much more peaceful, and I had a better perspective while sitting on the Wuzui.
In the mood of scenery, poetry comes into my heart.
Such a vast world, such magnificent mountains and rivers.
There are so many beauties in the country that it attracts countless heroes to bow their waists.
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 even remotely approximate him.
It was once said that the world is disappointing, but only Yue Hongling reflects the dreams in her heart.
But if you look at Yuxuli Shentong and the others from the perspective of the Jianghu, they are all fairly popular, and the Jianghu is not bad at all. However, looking at the world, their structure suddenly feels lower, so this
The world is more disappointing than Jianghu, but the Jianghu in memory is more beautiful.
Fortunately, there is still Tang Dynasty makeup 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 restore peace to the world; Suzaku is also focused on managing internal troubles and fighting against them.
Foreign captives. Although the current imperial court is weak, lacking money, food, soldiers, horses, officials and everything, it has begun to have a kind of vitality, a kind of strength that everyone is united in moving forward for 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.
Wu Zhui 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 these 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.
The two families were originally from an alliance but were not one. Each still had troops deployed to defend the other, but neither had stationed heavy troops. Ever since the Yang family was persuaded to retreat by Cui Wenjing, the Li family's sense of smell was still very keen. They did not need to know what Yang Jingxiu had done.
No matter what decision was made, all you need to know is that during the Battle of Langya, the Yang family did not fight the Cui family as promised, and you will know that something has changed, so you increase your troops to Tongguan and strictly defend it.
Correspondingly, the Yang family's troops arrived in Hangu to face the Li family. Of course, in theory, they could not be called the Yang family's troops at this time, but it was still early for the restructuring. The Yang family was still managing the army here, including the 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 different from Zhao Guan.
The recognition of Changhe in the modern world is also very similar. This is determined by geography. 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. The gap in military strength and food is very large. It is unrealistic to rely on the Yang family to hold on. Once it is broken, it will
If you enter, you will go straight to Luoyang.
Fortunately, the Li family detoured to the north of Taihang and attacked the capital, and 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
They mingled with the Hu people. The loss of the light cavalry of the Hu people did not hurt their muscles and bones, but it was still the dark clouds that pressed down on the north and made people breathless.
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 went to rely on the Great Khan Timur again. Only his own fighting lion tribe was left. They suffered heavy casualties and fled in panic. They were driven away all the way.
In the northwest desert, the wind, snow, and ice are extremely miserable. I don’t know how the twelfth lunar month has passed.
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 was stationed here and there was already a very strong sense of the emperor guarding the country.
means. This time Xia Longyuan is gone, Batu is gone, and Guanzhong has become a place to lure 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 could survive being stabbed from behind by Batu 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 those who have just experienced the great turmoil.
The Xin Dynasty took a breather, digested the results of Langya's victory and the Yang family's retreat, and restored vitality to the nearly paralyzed capital.
It also allowed Zhao Changhe and Suzaku to leave the capital and do what they planned.
Zhao Changhe stared at the torches up and down Tongguan Pass for a long time, resisting the urge to go down and kill everyone, and finally clamped the horse's belly and continued heading southwest.
The tacit understanding that Huangshang keeps saying must be kept. 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. I violated the tacit understanding before.
In theory, I am a real person on the local list... This kind of marginalization can never happen again, and it will not work if I do it again.
To say that Hangu's side is weak is not necessarily true. Yangyang is in Hongnong at this time, which is not too far away... Maybe the work that the Yang family can do here will even surprise the Li family.
Miao territory is very far away, even if it takes a long time to fly, Wu Zui also needs to rest and eat. Zhao Changhe did not force him, and rode his horse to Xiangyang at nightfall.
This is also the territory that belongs to the family. 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. Xue Canghai led the people north and didn't take them all away.
There is a small amount of people stationed here to serve as sub-rudders.
Zhao Changhe originally planned to rest here for the night before leaving, but he did not expect that he would encounter new events even if he stopped here.
