"On the twelfth day of August in the seventeenth year of God's blessing, on the seventh day of your mourning, I wrote a poem with the title of condolences to express my sincerity to your spirit: The young man surnamed Guo, named Nu'er, is from Hanshan County, Chaozhou. In the eighth year of God's blessing, Chao
The prefecture was invaded by Liang Jun, and all the houses were destroyed. Guo Nuer, his parents and brothers, and hundreds of thousands of Chaozhou people crossed the river to escape the disaster. On the way to his father's death, he accompanied his mother and brothers and sisters to beg for food in Jinling. In the twelfth year of God's blessing, his brother died of hunger.
Guo Nuer and his mother were found lying dead on the side of the road. They were so weak that they dug dead branches into the grave. However, the younger brother's body was eaten by wild dogs. In order to protect the younger brother's body, Guo Nuer, who was as weak as a child, fought with his bare hands against seven or eight wild dogs.
They fought with each other, their bodies were bruised and dripping with blood, but they were still fearless. I met him on the road, and Zhou Shan, a lame soldier, adopted his brother and sister as his adopted son and daughter, and he became a descendant of my family. Guo Nuer was fourteen years old and as thin as
As a child, when he first became the eldest son of the family soldiers, all the disciples refused to accept it and fought with him. However, his character was tenacious, fearless of hardships, and he was quick at learning writing, swords, bows, and military skills. In his later years, all the disciples accepted him and became my child.
To help... Jiangdong recruited envoys, and Han Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, wrote a stele in Langxi so that future generations would remember his events!"
Han Qian finally followed Guo Nuer's will before the war and buried him on the low slope on the west side of the Honglinbu post road. This was also the place where he died with an arrow in the night battle - he was buried here with Guo Nuer.
, and the 967 Chishan Army generals who died in the Shifo Shixi Pass.
The inscription is a sacrificial inscription written by Han Qian five days ago. It was also written in Langxi City on the day Guo Nuer died in the battle. Lin Zongjing then rushed to Honglinbu in person to find a stonemason and carved it on the tombstone.
On this day, Zhou Yuanhe, Fu Mo and Wei Zhen accompanied Han Wenhuan, Han Daochang and Han Jun by car from Xuancheng to Langxi.
A group of people passed through the pass between Shifo Mountain and Magu Mountain and passed by Honglinbu. They saw the monument on the new tomb on the side of the road that was as tall as a person. Han Wenhuan insisted on getting off the car and everyone walked to the high monument.
, only to find out that this is the tomb of Guo Nuer, a soldier of the Han family, counselor of Chishan Army, and deacon in charge of Jinyun Tower.
The inscription not only records Guo Nuer's life and the reason why he became a soldier of the Han family, but also writes about the tragic interception battle at Honglinbu.
"This battle was really tragic. Many generals sacrificed their lives to achieve the current situation. It was not easy!" Han Daoxun stood at the inscription and said to Fu Mo, Zhou Yuanhe, Wei Zhen and others, "Everyone in the Daoxun family
The boy’s literary talent is not good, but his writing is plain and sincere, which can be said to be of the highest quality.”
"Han Zhaofeng's military commander Wen Tao is of the highest class, so he can be your Highness's teacher!" Hearing what Han Wenhuan said, Fu Mo, Zhou Yuanhe and others could only agree in an awkward but polite manner.
Seeing Han Wenhuan's calm and indifferent appearance, Wei Zhen felt a little confused: Could it be that it was agreed in advance that Han Wenhuan used his body as bait to lure Gu Zhilong out of Langxi City?
Although Xuancheng reinforcements were intercepted at Honglinbu, the city was captured at Langxi, and the Chuzhou Army was intercepted at Nantangzhai, more than 5,000 Chishan Army soldiers were killed and many more were injured. However, in that battle, Gu Zhilong’s direct descendants
All the elite troops suffered casualties.
This is also a key reason why Gu Zhilong decided so quickly to accept the peace terms and join Yueyang.
After the Chishan Army showed unimaginable combat prowess, Gu Zhilong was afraid that if he refused to surrender, the Fu family and other local clan officials could not stand the temptation and threats and began to cause trouble behind their backs. In the end, he asked him to empty the bamboo basket and everything was in vain.
.
Yesterday, Li Xiu led 1,500 elite Qiuhu troops to advance to the east slope of Jilong Mountain.
To show his sincerity, Gu Zhilong yesterday sent Shang Zhongjie, his father Shang Wensheng, who was promoted to Minister of Household Affairs in Jinling, Geng Jinshan, the messenger sent by Chuzhou to liaise with Xuancheng, and dozens of other people deeply involved with the Chuzhou army and Anning Palace.
They were all detained, and the youngest son Gu Zhiyi was escorted to Li Xiu for disposal. At the same time, the youngest son Gu Zhiyi, who was only seventeen years old, was allowed to join Li Xiu's army and was actually a hostage.
In addition to sending Zhou Yuanhe and Fu Mo to escort Han Wenhuan, Han Daochang, Han Jun, Wei Zhen and others to Langxi today, Gu Zhilong also sent Ningguo County Affairs Committee Yu Fu Gengwen, son of Fu Mo, to prepare for the subsequent annexation of Xuanzhou troops.
The Qiuhu Army and Li Pu took over the governorship of Xuanzhou, paving the way for the move of the state's governance to Ningguo.
Gu Zhilong surrendered to Yueyang, and the Xuanzhou troops were integrated into the Qiuhu Army. At this time, the actual operation stage was entered as quickly as possible.
Han Qian also ordered Gao Shao and Zhao Wuji to withdraw their troops in batches to garrison in Honglinbu at the northwest foot of Shifoshi.
Seeing the old father and son looking calm and calm, chatting and laughing with Zhou Yuanhe, Fu Mo and others, Han Daochang felt depressed.
Of course, he resented Han Qian for using them as bait to lure Gu Zhilong to bite the hook, and his teeth itched with hatred, but before the Chishan Army's glorious military exploits, what could he say openly in front of others?
Not only could they not say anything, they also had to grit their teeth and firmly believe that Han Qian had made a plan with them beforehand to divert the tiger away from the mountain and promote peace through war. It was them who, out of their own righteousness, used their bodies as bait to go to Xuanzhou.
Although Han Daochang was able to gain some false fame for this, he felt as if a ball of shit had been stuffed into his mouth and he had to swallow it with a smile on his face.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival in Liyang City, it rained at dusk. Wang Wenqian, who was wearing a long gown, stood in front of the porch and still felt a bit of coolness coming into his body. It was probably an illusion. He looked up and saw the wind blowing through the courtyard wall. There was actually something on the treetops.
A few scattered leaves blew down.
This year's autumn cold came earlier than in the past, which seems to indicate that this year's winter will be colder than in previous years.
"Sir, is this battle really impossible to fight?" Yin Peng walked to the corridor. He had just been transcribing Wang Wenqian's draft submission to the king. He saw Wang Wenqian's comments on the future development of the situation in the Jianghuai region in the draft.
The prediction is somewhat shocking. I didn't expect Wang Wenqian to be so pessimistic about the future.
At this time, there was a burst of chirping from outside the courtyard wall.
In the past seven or eight days, Liyang and Jintan north of Liyang have transferred more than 20,000 troops from Jingkou, and they have gathered almost 30,000 elite troops on the southern front.
However, this did not inspire Wang Wenqian in the slightest.
As the Qiuhu Army advanced westward, Han Qian and Marquis Xinchang also gathered 25,000 capable soldiers from the western foot of Jieling Mountain to the north of Xuancheng.
At this time, the offensive and defensive momentum reversed.
In the previous field battles in the river valley, they might not be able to defeat the Chishan Army with their slightly superior force. Now, even if they send all 30,000 troops south, they are almost certain to capture Nantang Village and Langxi City from the Chishan Army.
And the Qiuhu Army Li Xiu's troops were stationed at Miaohe Port at the eastern foot of Jilong Mountain?
What's more, once they raise their troops and move south, the connection between the north and south lines will be stretched and the fragile flanks will be completely exposed. How can we judge that the Nanya Forbidden Army can remain calm enough and will not penetrate their defenseless center line?
Making it difficult for them to take care of both ends?
Although it is impossible for An Ning Palace to fight a tough battle with them at this time, but seeing the opportunity to defeat the Chuzhou army relatively easily and drive them out of Jiangnan, how can An Ning Palace easily let it go?
During the Chishan Army's attack on Langxi, Huang Hua, the governor of Huzhou, not only did not dare to attack the Chishan Army from the east, but after seeing that the Chishan Army captured Langxi City and showed greater combat power than imagined, he even moved the west side of Huzhou.
On the other side, Anji County, surrounded on three sides by the mountains at the northeastern foothills of Fuyu Mountain, gave way.
However, after the Chishan Army captured Langxi and Anji, Han Qian did not continue to show too aggressive behavior. He even quickly turned his strength into softness and hid behind the scenes.
People came forward and continued to recruit Gu Zhilong and Xuanzhou township clan clan members on behalf of Yueyang to achieve the goal of promoting peace through war.
Among the solicitation conditions, it was also separately proposed that the houses of the Han and Feng families in Xuanzhou should be replaced by the houses of wealthy families who had fled from Langxi and Guangde, in order to ease the sharp conflicts with the aristocratic families.
This was a condition that could never be accepted by the family before, but after the Chishan Army showed strong force and captured Langxi City, it became an indispensable part of Yueyang's attack on Jinling. Maybe all parties just need someone who can keep the
Can I go down the stairs without losing my face?
This actually does not surprise Wang Wenqian. After all, what Han Qian is really good at is his ability to judge the situation and his extraordinary tactics. It is a pity that the Chuzhou Army missed two key opportunities to check and balance Han Qian.
The Chishan Army has already gained momentum, how could Han Qian allow them to seize the third chance?
Under such circumstances, even if Gu Zhilong still gritted his teeth and refused to surrender to Yueyang, it was absolutely impossible for Huzhou Governor Huang Hua, who only wanted to preserve his existing interests, to take the initiative to attack the Chishan Army from the east.
Judging from the information transmitted today, Gu Zhilong should have made up his mind to join Yueyang.
Although Gu Zhilong was somewhat disabled, this was still a major event that directly determined the future direction of the situation in Dachu.
This not only means that the Xuanzhou Army, the Qiuhu Army, and the Chishan Army merged into Yueyang, but also means that Shezhou, Raozhou, and even Yang Zhitang, who is watching the situation according to Hong and Yuanzhou, will soon make a choice. It also means that the Chishan Army and the Dongfang Army
The relationship between the local forces in Huhang and Huhang will be further eased, and the first line in Langxi and Guangde will have a more stable foothold.
At present, the third prince's chances of winning have skyrocketed. Even if Huang Hua and other powerful factions in the Huhang area do not make an immediate choice, they will not be able to sharply confront Han Qian and the Chishan Army.
After Xuanzhou surrendered, the food crisis of the Chishan Army was temporarily alleviated, and there was no need to raid Huhang. The threat from the Chishan Army felt by Huanghua and other Huhang local forces was naturally greatly reduced.
After absorbing the Xuanzhou soldiers, Yueyang was able to gather 40,000 troops on the southern front. They did not even need to take the initiative to attack. They only needed to use heavy troops to defend the Xuancheng, Langxi, and Nantangzhai front lines, and then put more energy into speaking
If they surrender to forces such as Yang Zhitang from Shezhou, Raozhou and Hongzhou, the situation will completely tilt towards Yueyang.
After waiting for the land passage from Hengzhou to Xuanzhou to be opened, Yang Zhitang led his troops from Hongzhou to the north and Li Zhigao led his troops from Ezhou to the east to attack Jiangzhou. By this time, there were nearly 20 Jiangnan West Road excluding Chizhou.
The territory and people of the state will all fall into the hands of the third prince Yang Yuanpu.
At this point, how can we continue to fight this battle?
The best choice for the Chuzhou Army now is to retreat to the north of the Yangtze River as quickly as possible before its strength is seriously damaged, so that the Shouzhou Army and the Nanya Forbidden Army can let go and fight the Yueyang Army in a lose-lose situation.
This is also the most critical suggestion Wang Wenqian wrote into the regulations.
"Will Your Highness accept your advice?" Yin Peng asked worriedly.
He knew that as long as the 100,000 Chuzhou Army was still coveting Jinling City on the south bank of the Yangtze River, it would be impossible for Anning Palace to send troops to attack the Chishan Army and Qiuhu Army on the southern front, let alone mobilize the main troops to the Qiuhu Army thousands of miles away.
Jiangzhou, suppress the eastward advance of the main force of Yueyang Army!
"Maybe it's not that easy to accept..." Wang Wenqian raised his head and looked at the sky outside the courtyard wall, sighing quietly, thinking to himself how many people in the world can really move forward and retreat freely when the spring breeze is triumphant, let alone give up what they finally got.
