Li Guang sent someone here, which did not surprise Su Ren. Li Guang is the governor of Yanmen, and he will know everything that happens in Yanmen County. Although Su Ren came to Yanmen this time, it was not
Li Guang needs to be notified, but who is Su Ren? Not to mention the distance, based on the little friendship between Su Ren and his son Li Danghu, as an elder, it is appropriate to send someone to pay attention.
The visitor was the captain of Yanmen, and he was very polite to Su Ren. However, the dozens of soldiers outside the door frightened Zhang Junyue's family. After figuring out the origin and purpose of these people, Zhang Junyue served Su Ren and his party more attentively. What?
Everything was arranged properly, which saved Su Ren a lot of worry.
Naturally, when you come to Yanmen County, you have to visit Yanmen Pass. To this request, the captain sent by Li Guang agreed without any hesitation. Yanmen Pass was not built on the top of Yanmen Mountain. In fact, Yanmen Pass was built on the ridge of Gouzhu Mountain.
From Yanmen Pass to the east, take Pingxing Pass, Zijing Pass, and Daoma Pass to Youyan and connect to the vast sea; to the west, go to Xuangangkou, Ningwuguan, and Piantou Pass to the Yellow River. Hengshan Mountain winds along the northern border of Dai County on the top of the mountain.
The Great Wall connects Yanmen Mountain, Mantou Mountain, and Caoduo Mountain. It is surrounded by the Yanbei Plateau in the north and the Xinding Basin in the south. It is definitely a good place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Although Yanmen Pass is still under construction, it can be seen that the project is very huge. A rough estimate shows that the siege of Yanmen Pass was built along the mountain, with a circumference of more than ten miles. The southern end of the city wall is connected to the east and west wings of the Guan City, and to the north is along the
It extends from the ridge to the valley floor to encircle it, and a city gate is built at the encirclement. There are also three large stone walls and 25 small stone walls built outside the siege, which act as a barrier.
The place where Su Ren spent the longest time was not the construction site, but the Jingbian Temple built by Li Guang outside the east gate. Speaking of Jingbian Temple, we have to talk about Li Mu, the famous general of the Zhao State during the Warring States Period.
At that time, King Wuling of Zhao promoted Hu-style riding and archery, defeated Lin Hu, and Loufan invaded, establishing Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Daijun. Li Mu was ordered to stay in Yanmen to guard against the Huns. The Huns had nothing to gain for several years, while the Zhao army
With strong soldiers and strong horses, Li Mu's army defeated the Huns' more than 100,000 cavalry. For more than ten years, the Huns did not dare to attack Zhao. Later generations called Li Mu a "wonder", and then the Jingbian Temple was built at Yanmen Pass to commemorate his military exploits in guarding the border and protecting the people.
.
Su Ren even wondered if Li Guang was showing his attitude to the emperor by building Li Mu's ancestral hall here. Although he was not a descendant of Li Mu, everyone had the surname Li, and they might have been a family five hundred years ago.
Li Guang naturally hopes that like Li Mu, he will become a hero admired by everyone in the world.
The old Guancheng to the west of Guancheng is commonly known as Tielimen. The two passes are connected by a stone Great Wall, and watch towers, beacon towers, etc. are built to form a complete defense system. No matter how many troops the Huns come, they can't even think of it easily.
Pass through Yanmen Pass.
After a tour, the captain patiently introduced the repair and construction of Yanmen Pass to Su Ren, explaining everything in detail. The expression on his face showed that this person was absolutely loyal to Li Guang.
Su Ren nodded with a smile: "The prefect is dedicated to serving the country. Your Majesty naturally knows that, otherwise he would not let the prefect guard Yanmen. Everyone knows that this is the throat of the Han Dynasty. If you are not careful, the Huns will take advantage of it.
Your Majesty placed the prefect here, which shows your majesty's trust in the prefect."
The captain was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "What Mr. Su said is true. As long as the prefect is there, the Huns will not be able to enter the Han Dynasty through Yanmen! Oh, by the way, the prefect ordered that the eldest son has been working for the country under the guidance of the prefect in these years.
The country's contribution has also brought a lot of honor to the ancestors of the Li family. I hope Mr. Su can go to Shanwu. The prefect invites Mr. Su to a banquet."
"Oh! As you say, Brother Danghu and I are brothers, and the prefect is my elder. The captain will go back and tell the prefect that I will pay him a visit soon and pay my respects to the prefect!"
The captain didn't even know what to say. He was Li Guang's retainer. He had been with Li Guang through life and death for so many years. He knew the affairs of the Li family very well. He also understood who Su Ren was. It was a shame that Su Ren could say such a thing.
It has been shown that brother Li Danghu is worthy. As long as the Li family does not rebel in the future, they will definitely be able to prosper in the Han Dynasty. The old general's ambition will be greatly improved.
The two came down from the mountain and parted in Wuzhou. Along the way, the captain kept talking about what was good to hear. Su Ren also talked about everything, and the two chatted happily. When Su Ren entered Wuzhou City, the captain
He quickly turned his horse around and headed straight for Shan Wu. He couldn't wait to tell Li Guang the good news.
You must know that during the Battle of Lingnan, Su Ren already had some foundation in the army, and he was a popular figure in front of the emperor. If Su Ren came to Yanmen without any purpose, he would not believe it even if he killed Li Guang. As a veteran general, after so many years
It is not a good thing to stop moving forward. If it comes to a decisive victory with the Huns, the emperor cannot remember his veteran general, so how can he lose face?
The captain rushed back to Shanwu from Wuzhou in one breath. The sweat on his face was still dripping when he entered. He didn't bother to wash his face and change clothes. He asked the servants and went straight to the martial arts field of the prefect's mansion.
Li Guang is wearing a helmet and is practicing martial arts in the martial arts field. Li Guang is only in his thirties and less than forty this year, and he is the most powerful in his life. The halberd is dancing in the wind, and a dragon is wagging its tail as a target.
The wooden stake broke with the sound, and he raised his halberd and smashed the flying half of the wooden stake into pieces. The wood chips fell one after another, as if it was raining.
"Okay! Prefect Li is really good at martial arts!" Cheng Bushi is the prefect of Daijun. Yanmen is not far from Daijun. Liu Che sent the two of them here to guard against the Huns. One is stationed at Yanmen and the other is stationed at Daijun to prevent the Huns.
Dare to spy.
"Hahaha..." Li Guang threw the halberd in his hand to the soldiers on the side and laughed: "Thank you for your praise, Governor Cheng. I am a little rusty after not practicing for many days. I made Governor Cheng laugh."
"Prefect Li is being polite. No one in the world knows the name Flying General. As far as I am a big man, I have never seen anyone on par with the general."
Li Guang waved his hand: "There are many people who are smarter than me, Li Guang. If nothing else, just Su Ren who conquered Lingnan is better than me."
Cheng Bushi chuckled: "Li Taishou was surprised. Su Ren was asking for a trick, but Li Taishou was born in the military. In terms of martial arts, even a hundred Su Ren would not be his opponent. I think back then Li Taishou followed Zhou Taiwei to pacify the Seven Kingdoms.
In times of chaos, killing generals and seizing flags has achieved great success!"
Li Guang looked happy and said: "Hey! That's all in the past. We haven't been on the battlefield in these years!" He took a towel and wiped his face, stretched out his arms, and a slave came over to remove Li Guang's armor:
"By the way, Governor Cheng, what do you think Su Ren wants to do when he comes to Yanmen this time? Could it be that His Majesty wants Su Ren to control you and me and start a war with the Huns?"
Cheng Bushi took a deep breath: "Isn't it impossible? Isn't it possible that Yan Zhu was manipulated by Su Ren in the matter of Lingnan? You and I should be more careful!"
"There's nothing to be careful about. As long as we really go to war with the Huns, what's the harm in asking him to control them? As long as he can defeat the Huns, let alone control me, I can just let him lead the horse for him!"
Cheng Bushi smiled: "You're so open-minded, huh? Why haven't the people you sent come back yet?"
The captain had been listening to the two prefects talking at the door. Hearing this, he could wait no longer. He quickly came in and saluted the two of them: "I have met the two prefects."
Cheng Bushi smiled and said, "He came back just as I was talking about him. What a coincidence. Tell me what you found out?"
The captain hurriedly said: "I have inquired clearly that Su Ren is not here to lead his troops to fight. According to him, he wants to build a forgery outside Yanmen Pass to do business with the Huns."
"Doing business?"
The captain nodded: "Su Ren said, the reason why my big man is always taken away by the Huns in the current battles with the Huns is because my big man lacks horses and war horses. The Huns are all cavalry, and fighting with infantry and cavalry is the best."
At a disadvantage, if I want to fight the Huns, my big man must have a cavalry, so that I can defeat the Huns, so he opened this bargaining market to exchange for the Huns war horses for my big man."
Cheng Bushi took a breath of cold air: "Oh, this guy has a unique vision! He actually hit the point at a glance. He is indeed a character."
Li Guang chuckled: "That's very good. As long as he still understands it, it will be easy to handle."
The captain added: "Su Ren said that he would come to Shanwu in a few days to pay homage to the prefect. He also said that he and the eldest son are brothers, so the prefect is naturally his elder and he should pay homage to him."
Li Guang laughed and said to Cheng Buji: "This boy is quite polite, not to mention that I like him a little bit."
Cheng Bushi pointed at Li Guang: "They say he is your nephew. You see, you are so happy. Since he is here to exchange horses, can your uncle say something and let the two of us choose the horses first?"
?”
"Eh?" Li Guang's eyes lit up and he laughed: "You have a brain, I didn't expect it."
"Bah, you didn't expect to send someone to find Su Ren. I don't believe you!"
"Hahaha..." Several people laughed loudly in the martial arts arena.
When Su Ren returned to the inn, Zhang Junyue hurriedly welcomed him out. He could tell that the young man in front of him had a good background and would live in Wuzhou permanently. It would undoubtedly be a good thing for him to stay in his shop.
Not only do you not have to worry about anyone messing around, but you can also make a fortune.
After bringing facial cleansing water to Su Ren, Zhang Junyue asked with a smile on his face if he wanted to eat. After running around all morning, Su Ren was indeed a little hungry, so he nodded in agreement. After sending Zhang Junyue away, Su Ren found some paper and wrote down the Yanmen Pass in his mind.
Draw it bit by bit. In Su Ren's view, this city gate is indeed very good, but unfortunately there are still some problems. For example, there are no barbicans and fortresses. If the Huns attack blindly regardless of casualties, it is still possible to break through, so he is prepared.
Fill in the gaps from the perspective of a later generation.
"Bang bang bang." He remembered the knock on the door, but Su Ren didn't raise his head: "Come in!" The door creaked open, and Su Ren was still holding a pen and thinking: "Put it there, I will eat it in a while."
"Sir!" A sweet and sweet voice suddenly came from behind Su Ren: "My father said that these are all meats. Please eat them while they are hot. If they are allowed to cool, it will be bad for your health."
When Su Ren turned around, he saw that the person delivering the meal was actually Zhang Junyue's daughter, and she was wearing cool clothes. The little girl's face was flushed, and her stunning face made people's hearts flutter at just one glance. (To be continued)
