It is raining continuously in Sichuan, and there are very few pedestrians on the Shu road.
At Jianmen Pass, one man can guard the pass, and no one can open it. This was once the place where Li Xingchen and Wei Xiaokuan and others fought fiercely. Standing at Jianmen Pass and looking eastward, you can see the valley extending to the southeast, which was once the
The Cangxi Valley was the place where the Northern Zhou army hated them, but today, the war has subsided, and Jianmen Pass, which was once a border fortress, has become the heart of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, there are only two to three hundred defenders at the pass, which is enough for such a powerful pass.
In this wind and rain, more than a dozen people climbed up the stairs along the winding mountain road. In the wind and rain, their figures looked so small surrounded by the mountains.
However, when the guard guarding the gate saw the visitor's token, he did not dare to neglect it and hurriedly asked his men to prepare meals and clean clothes. The guard personally led the visitor up the gate tower.
"Jianmen Xiongguan is worthy of its name!" He stretched out his hand to support the battlements. Under the bamboo hat was a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old. "I can't believe that we just walked through that rugged mountain road."
"After passing Jianmen Pass, this road will be easy to walk." The middle-aged man following him was obviously "experienced in this way" and said with a smile, "Although God is not good at this, we will arrive in three or four days.
Chengdu is pretty much the same. When the time comes, you can go down the river and reach Jiankang Prefecture in no time."
The young man said with some dissatisfaction: "Oh my god, if it hadn't been for days of heavy rain and the strong waves in the Mian River making it impossible to launch the boat, we might have been in Xiangyang by now."
The middle-aged man forced a smile. After all, this was not his decision. The reason why he wanted to go to Shuzhong was actually decided by the person behind him who was chatting with the war leader.
The person leaning on the railing and looking out is young Li Yuan, and the Zhongnian man following him is Yang Yue, Yang Huibo, who has been responsible for contacting Shuzhong for a long time. Now the Han Dynasty is established, and the Hongnong Yang family, Changsun family and Li family
After gradually withdrawing from Guanzhong, Yang Yue naturally no longer needed to take on this task and joined the newly established General Affairs Office as a General Affairs Minister under the General Affairs Minister.
The person who was chatting with the commander in a low voice was Yang Su, the newly appointed military officer of the Han Taiwei Mansion. Although I don’t know the difference between this soldier and those in previous eras, he must be at the same level as a general, so the commander naturally
Don't dare to neglect.
It is said that this person who joined the army was personally appointed by His Majesty, and the one who left Hanzhong was personally sent out of the city by the governor of the northwest, ** Yan, and the governor of Yongzhou, Sun Sheng, and Pegasus announced that he would be received well at every next stop.
"Enter Shuzhong and inspect its defenses, economy, population, etc., so you can know how much power Shuzhong can exert when a war breaks out." Yang Su seemed to have heard Li Yuan's complaints and walked straight to him
,"Why, do you think there is something wrong with this arrangement?"
This time we took a long detour to the south, firstly because of the weather, which made it more difficult to sail on the already rough Mian River, and secondly because of Yang Su’s persistence. In Yang Su’s view, as a soldier, when he accepted the appointment,
Even if he takes office, Xiao Mohe, as a Taiwei, should not know much about the actual situation in Bashu. Therefore, as a soldier, it is natural for him to report to Xiao after actual investigation of the situation in Bashu, Hanzhong, northwest and other places.
Maha, to avoid misjudgments when making strategic deployments later.
But after all, neither Yang Yue nor Li Yuan had reached this level, so it was reasonable not to understand the meaning of Yang Su's actions.
Li Yuan's face suddenly turned pale. As the head of the family, although he is young, he has experienced many tests. He is also a master who is not afraid of anything. If he is really afraid, it is probably Yang Su in front of him.
As soon as Yang Su opened his mouth, even if he was full of complaints, he could only hold it back.
Seeing that Li Yuan lowered his head, but clearly looking aggrieved, Yang Su couldn't help but smile: "What?"
Li Yuan stamped his feet and finally couldn't help it anymore: "Brother, please tell me, what exactly are you doing as a soldier? Isn't it just to do odd jobs for Xiao Mohe? And you still have an official position, and I only have one.
Where can I go to Jinling Academy to study first?"
Yang Su and Yang Yue glanced at each other subconsciously and couldn't help but laugh.
And Yang Su patted Li Yuan: "There is nothing wrong with your majesty's arrangement. We, the Guanlong family, are new here. If we directly occupy a high position, we will inevitably arouse hostility from the rest of the people. But for the position of joining the army... you are not there."
It's so simple to see."
Li Yuan and Yang Yue were startled for a moment, and Yang Su said in a deep voice: "This position may be understood as the former Grand Sima. As the lieutenant of the Taiwei, he has the power to make decisions. At the same time, all rear arrangements for troops, horses, food and grass are actually controlled.
The general is in the hands of X. It can be said that the Taiwei is responsible for coordinating the formation at the front, while X is responsible for stabilizing the entire rear area."
"This..." Li Yuan swallowed hard, "This is definitely not worthy of joining the army."
"As for what will happen in the future, we may not know, but at least this is a kind of protection for someone," Yang Su said carefully, while his eyes fell on Li Yuan, "As for you, you are restless, there is no point in studying.
harm."
Li Yuan wanted to argue, but when he saw Yang Su's solemn expression, he immediately held back.
Yang Su's eyes then drifted to the misty mountains and rivers outside Guancheng.
Although the future is uncertain, the more this happens, the more challenging it becomes.
This is the life you yearn for.

The war horses were reined in in front of Taiwei Jiankang's mansion, and the men stood up.
This Taiwei Mansion is actually the former Sikong Mansion. Seeing this government office, Xiao Mohe was in a daze for a moment, but he still got off his horse and an official who had been waiting for a long time saw Xiao Mohe coming.
He immediately handed over the battle report in his hand with joy:
"Lieutenant, battle report!"
Xiao Mohe stretched out his hand to take it and glanced at it hastily.
Xiao Shilian led his troops to Yulin County. Due to the heavy rain for days, the progress of the troops and horses was not going smoothly. If the navy had not taken advantage of the rising water to seize the opportunity to transfer grain and grass - for a place like Lingqu where one can row against the current, there would be no harm in having more water - I'm afraid.
Even food routes will be cut off.
However, bad weather means that it is difficult to deploy the army, and it will also increase the difficulty of attacking cities. Fortunately, Li Xun's partial divisions have outflanked them, and finally cut off the Baiyue tribe's retreat to the west, and may be able to force them
Abandoned the city and headed south.
"Where are Chen Zhishen's soldiers and horses?" Xiao Mohe rolled into the meeting hall like a whirlwind, his voice was like thunder, and everyone in the meeting hall was startled.
"See Taiwei!"
Xiao Mohe waved his hand and happened to see Pei Zilie. Before he arrived at Jiankang Mansion, Pei Zilie was presiding over the affairs of the Taiwei Mansion. Xiao Mohe was not polite to his son-in-law: "Chen Zhishen's soldiers and horses
Why are you still north of Fuzhou?!" (To be continued)
