After two days of marching, Guo Ziyi led 500 sergeants and 1,000 horses from Liangzhou into Ganzhou and settled in Shandan County.
Fang Chongyong and his party were also traveling with the team and were safe.
The terrain of Shandan County is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Qilian Mountain stands in the south, Yanzhi Mountain stands in the east, and Longshou Mountain is a barrier in the north. It has undulating hills and crisscrossing ravines. It belongs to a terrain of "surrounded by three mountains and a central plain".
To the south is Pingyuan, the largest Shandan horse farm in the Hexi region, where countless livestock graze. The Xiongnu folk song says: "The loss of my Qilian Mountains will prevent my six livestock from having a rest." It means that the Xiongnu suffered from pain after being defeated by the Han army.
Lost Mountain Dan Racecourse.
It was also because of the large and small horse farms throughout the Hexi Corridor that the Central Plains Dynasty could continue to obtain high-quality horses to train cavalry and maintain military advantages on the border.
It was a bitterly cold autumn night in Shandan County. Fang Chongyong and his party were warming themselves by the fire in the military tent. Anaye was checking her medicine box.
On this trip, I almost emptied out the ready-made medicinal materials at home and packed several large boxes.
Fang Laique was still dozing feebly, while Fang Chongyong was listening to Fang Dafu's explanation of the scenery of the Western Regions.
Fang Dafu actually served in the Anxi Protectorate back then and even fought against the Tubo people!
"Mr. Lang can talk to Guo Shouzhuo and go to Shandan County tomorrow, and then ask the army to help harvest the grass."
Qi Qi was sincerely convinced. It can be said that Anaye had done something bad, and the bad things were taken away, and she also showed her sense of existence.
On the surface, it seems that the risk is small, because the Chishui Army seems to be far away from Liangzhou to support the border army!
The trouble lies outside.
When the Tibetans come, I will be frightened and experience the disaster of war. First, I will become a prisoner of the Tibetans.
"Guo Shouchuo is saying that the Tubo people may have taken the women's road to attack Qiqi City on horseback?"
"We only need Qi Qi's daughter to implement the autumn defense order. This move will definitely offend the local officials of the border army and the people. In the end, they may be successful for their hard work, but they will be laughed at for being as bold as a mouse... Alas!"
It can always be said that the report is not made up of words like "you think", "you think" and "you are worried", right?
Fang Chongyong is very cautious in what he says, because everything is my guess. If there are no signs, you will have to bear the responsibility if you talk nonsense and disturb the morale of the army!
Although it was just a big event, what would the officials on the border army think before they heard about it?
That will have a minimal negative impact on the economic operation of border towns.
No one can ask a child and a half to take on such a responsibility, even if that child is really stupid.
When Zheng Shuqing was in Kuizhou, because Kuizhou was under the jurisdiction of any Jiedu envoy, the governor was directly responsible to the Chang'an center and was directly under the jurisdiction of the center.
"Every one of the military envoys and military envoys chatted and laughed with him. Lang Jun became the governor when he was only ten years old. You know how to describe him as bad."
"That road is indeed not risky, but...what can you do to help him?"
Qi Qizhi closed his eyes tiredly, murmured to himself, and soon fell asleep.
Xiao Tang has not issued an autumn defense order for a long time. The local people in Hexi are actually quite resistant to this. They feel that it is an unnecessary move and allows the garrison troops who should have changed their defenses to have no way to change their defenses. It is strange to have any resentment.
This seventy-seven-year-old governor of Yameni has been the governor of the border army for seven years. Did anything happen to him?
Is there any evidence? How did Fang Chongyong report the situation to his superiors?
"That's unreasonable. Even if Guo Ziyi said that Zhang Ye would have to cooperate with that matter. Since you are so diligent in government affairs, Guo has nothing to worry about."
Even if he is a mascot, he might still be worse than Ouyang Qin who is almost in charge, right?
Anyway, a woman will reward me, right?
There is always a small gap between theory and reality. Policies are all changed before arriving at a place. Whether Ganzhou in the Hexi Corridor is a government soldier or a recruit, whether it is a government soldier or a Long March athlete. In order to
In order to survive, we are all likely to turn a blind eye to the small and big things around us.
Fang Shijun ordered Fang Chongyong to train troops far away from Zhangye in the border army, so he did not intend to guard against the Tubo people's sneak attack. But I have a way to allocate fewer resources, and everything has to rely on Fang Chongyong's own efforts. That may not be the case with Qi Qi.
Give Fang Chongyong the opportunity to make meritorious deeds in order to reward that "fellow fellow".
Qi Qizhi nodded fiercely and said: "Guo Ziyi, in the Qilian Mountains south of the border army, there is no mountain road that only herdsmen will take as a last resort. Even livestock can travel."
Fang Dafu asked without any disbelief.
Qi Qizhi explained these to Fang Dafu in a concise and concise manner, which made Fang Yanei, who came from Chang'an, completely broken!
It’s hard to say who will win in that war!
As for the Hexi Jiedu Mansion in Liangzhou, everyone knows Fang Dafu's identity, and has established good relations with everyone.
The Tubo people are coming, and if I weakly implement the autumn defense order, I will be scolded by local officials and people for daring to go out, and I will live up to my "young and wise" character.
Fang Chongyong sighed and said, I don't have a very intuitive experience of the Tibetan people's madness in fighting.
Fang Dafu thought very clearly. The Jiankang Army envoy Ouyang Kuan also served as the governor of the border army. On weekdays, outsiders were at the Jiankang Army barracks. The camp was located at the junction of Suzhou and the border army, about 200 miles away from Zhangye City.
Rather than being in a hurry when the time comes, it’s better to get things done right now.”
Wang Zhongsi said with a grimace, very worried about his future.
Qi Qizhi sighed, lay down on the straw mat, and rested his head under Wang Zhongsi's legs as a habit.
"Following the locals and sending troops to help harvest crops is a common practice in the Western Regions. Since Lang Jun is not yet the governor of the border army, it is reasonable for Guo Shou to capture his soldiers to harvest forage.
Moreover, the labor tools used in farming, such as straight-shaft plows, oxen, stone mills, etc., are all provided by the government. Ganzhou people can be rotated, and those who originally farmed at home were temporarily recruited as Long March athletes, so the farming under government management
There will be people farming, and only women, men, old and young will be able to work.
At least no one will jump out and show off and slap you in the face, right?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Although the Jiankang Army is an organization of the border army, its establishment is mainly to prevent the Tubo people from retreating from the Western Regions and attacking the Hexi Corridor before they conquer Guazhou.
Support the defenders of Yumen Pass.
Fang Dafu thought so later, but now when he heard Fang Chongyong say it, his mood instantly hit rock bottom.
Therefore, the imperial court did not take that road seriously."
"Guo Shouchuo is fine, but talking about it is harmful."
"So, Guo Shouchuo has no plans?"
Fang Chongyong was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly without saying anything.
The governors of the Hexi provinces were in charge of direct military affairs, but they were inseparable from the military affairs. This experience can only be understood by those who are not stationed in the local youth.
It's difficult to understand that.
Qiqi is not known as "the south of the Yangtze River", but is a place where water systems gather. The air is bad, there is sand, it is short of water, it is rich in products, and the population is small!
Fang Dafu asked without any embarrassment.
That's all, we must strengthen the walls and clear the country, organize military training for the separatist troops, increase patrols, and increase government expenditures. You're wrong, the separatists and the stranded soldiers can go home to Ganzhou, and they must also be paid! Those are all from the local government in Hexi
Expenditures outside the library.
Even if you survive on the lowland and use it on the battlefield, you will still die from Xin Nu's work in the high-oxygen environment of the lowland.
The agency that assesses the governors of the border army is Hexi Jiedu Prefecture. Only matters that Hexi Jiedu Prefecture has legally determined will be reported to Chang'an. This is also since the mid-Kaiyuan period, when the Chang'an Central Committee delegated a certain degree of local governance power to the central government.
That level of Jiedu Envoy.
And the exit of that road is very close to Zhangye City, the state capital of the border army, even closer than the station of Jiankang Army to Zhangye City! It must have never happened that day, even the 700 elite Zhangye garrison,
Eight thousand separatist troops from Riga came to defend the enemy.
"Mr. Lang is really talented and intelligent."
Qi Qizhi did not forget Anaye's instructions and made his own request to Qi Qizhi.
When the time comes, the hinterland of the frontier army will be attacked, the Shandan Racecourse will be robbed...the series of fire incidents at the front will have a minimal impact on the frontline supplies of the Tang army at the rear.
"Looking at the abnormal situation, that road is inaccessible, and almost no one walks on it. If a small army is marching, it needs to rely on manpower to carry the baggage. If you encounter a light wind and snow occasionally, the dead may be counted!
Fang Zhongyong thanked him and left. Qi Qizhi saw Wang Zhongsi looking at him intently, with a strange look in his eyes.
In the scorching heat, there is little wind, there is no water, and there is no supply. Crossing the Qilian Mountains while relying on livestock may be a good or bad experience. To describe it as four deaths and a lifetime is very appropriate.
Fang Dafu sighed and asked.
"Come on, give me a smile."
Fang Chongyong said with a bitter smile.
"Border troops...are they safe?"
Seemingly sensing his doubts, Fang Dafu added:
Fang Chongyong crossed his hands and saluted with a very respectful expression.
"What is he thinking about?"
"Who says it is? In short, it's not a huge pit."
Anyway, there is war in Qi Qi, so just worry about the waves. I heard that the scenery in the distance in Zhangye is very beautiful. I even traveled there in later generations, and I felt really wrong.
Fang Dafu said with a smile.
"What do Guo Ziyi think?"
"You understand, you will do your best to handle this matter."
The armies in Hexi were led by the Chishui Army. When the Hexi Jiedu Envoy was in charge, the military orders of the Chishui Army Envoy could not replace the military orders of the Hexi Jiedushi Envoy. Fang Shijun had good intentions, and Fang Dafu felt the same at this moment.
However, since the Tubo people sent troops for a sneak attack, they definitely did not have a comprehensive plan. At this time, the main force of the Hexi Army has not yet confronted the main force of the Tubo people at Qinghai Lake and is preparing for a decisive battle!
"In this case, I would like to thank Guo Ziyi."
Just as Fang Chongyong thought, Fang Dafu only knew about that road, and he was quite famous in my later generations!
Tubo sent troops to cross the Qilian Mountains to surprise the border troops, which was a job with high probability and low risk.
Sure enough, ginger is still spicy!
Anaye said meaningfully.
The branch is not too low, because you know you can climb it! You feel that the gap between you and Fang Dafu is getting smaller and smaller, and it is so small that it is scary!
At that time, Qi Qizhi was leaving the military camp. I was so cold that my face was blue. It was obvious that patrolling the small camp was an intense job.
Fang Dafu nodded and said.
All of this has little to do with Fang Chongyong, but has no direct or major interest connection with Fang Dafu, the new governor of Qi Qi.
"It's just that if you fail to take office in time, you will be rewarded by the court..."
Wang Zhongsi gently put down Qi Qizhi's hand and asked with some certainty.
Although Ji Ge's appointment is ridiculous, it is still extremely outrageous. Because in a state or county that does not have the jurisdiction of Jiedu envoys, camp field envoys, or Duzhi envoys, the power and responsibility of the governor is much greater than that of a female prefecture or county.
In short, regardless of whether the Tibetans came or not, the trip was always a chore!
Qi Qizhi's mischievous woman stretched out her index finger and pressed it under the bridge of Qi Qizhi's straight nose.
Anaye praised, but there seemed to be no deep meaning in her words.
Fang Dafu asked animatedly.
"It's better to write a letter to the border army first, so as not to be prepared."
"Is it a bad thing to be rewarded for being late? If Lang Jun is an officer in the border army, his life will be less bad, right?"
Fang Dafu was late because he was passing through Shandan County to help local villagers harvest grass... Is that a small matter?
It was not prepared to defend the southern frontier army. In fact, Guo may have seen this army foolishly follow this road before he was alive."
I picked up a branch and drew a sketch on the ground.
The horses are about to spend the winter, and people do have to worry about food rations, but livestock need pasture to feed them. Now is the time to harvest them. Even if Lang Jun is moving now, if he goes to Zhangye City, he will issue a similar decree.
"Can Military Envoy Guo arrange for the army men to help Shandan County harvest forage for military needs tomorrow?"
There is someone who belongs to whom, and who has to kneel to whom.
No matter how bad it is, can it still be bad enough to add negative buffs to the border troops?
No one in the army died on one trip because of the good weather! I don’t remember the specific deeds so well that I just felt it was normal and shocking at the time.
Fang Chongyong later talked in secret at this moment, and it was obvious that he was just keeping things normal and did not ask for help from others. The small family is now in the officialdom, and the official positions are not comparable.
It is a written rule for the local Qiqi to participate in agricultural work during the spring plowing and autumn harvest seasons, and it will be abolished as long as there is no war. The military rations in the field are only military supplies, and that is what we should do.
Qi Qizhi pointed at Wang Zhongsi and said in a deep voice.
Qi Qizhi asked cautiously. I understood very well that Qi Qizhi, who came from a weak background, was the woman who said yes to that matter.
The establishment of imperial military towns was a response to routine situations. The opposite of routine situations was ordinary situations.
Fang Dafu's idea is to sleep and travel in Qi Qi, and be a happy and hands-off shopkeeper. Anyway, I don't have the history of the border army Sima and Qi Qi under my command, so I can just assign the task to these two people.
Already.
"It's so bad."
Fang Dafu understood it instantly.
To put it more complicatedly, as a "bicycle governor", he is not specifically responsible for supervising the work of local subordinates in border towns!
"What Guo Ziyi said is wrong. The Tibetan dignitaries treat our soldiers as human beings. Even if half of the soldiers die, as long as they can achieve military merit, this is nothing."
Qi Qizhi rarely lacks common sense in doing things, but every time he can't "get it right" and make up for the previous mistakes. His ability to do things is far beyond that of his peers, even more capable bureaucrats.
Fang Dafu pondered for a moment and said.
Fang Chongyong looked helpless, because he knew what to say.
Outside of a serfdom country where it was common for people to die due to various reasons when they reached their eighties, it was not acceptable to die slowly and painfully on the battlefield.
When crossing the mountains, it was very difficult due to the light wind and snow, which caused hypothermia and loss of direction. However, the number of troops in front of us was slightly reduced, but we had to receive timely treatment! Using that road as the marching route was not risking our lives!
As soon as Anaye saw that posture, she hugged Fang Laique and left the military tent, looking for warmth elsewhere. On the contrary, Wang Zhongsi left or stayed. After being stunned for a long time, she finally knelt down next to Fang Dafu like a eldest daughter-in-law.
