Chapter 0079 Flying South

"The shepherd uses Zhao pawn to break Linhu." This is the story of Li Mu, a good general of the Warring States, mentioned by Li Hua, a prose writer in the Tang Dynasty. Historically, King Wuling of Zhao carried out military reform, rode and shot in Hufu, defeated the invasion of Lin Hu and Loufan, and established Yunzhong, Yanmen and Dai counties. Later, Li Mu was ordered to stay in Yanmen to guard against the Xiongnu. In order to avoid the Xiongnu's attack on the border people of the State of Zhao, he was honest and public. "City rents are all lost to the shogunate for soldiers' fees", so he was deeply supported by soldiers. At the same time, adhere to the policy of prudent defense and strengthen combat readiness with the risk of the Great Wall. He has been in Yanmen for several years, "learn to shoot and ride, beware, and be spies." The Xiongnu had nothing to gain for several years, while Zhao's army was strong and willing to fight for a war. At this time, he chose elite soldiers and horses to set up strange arrays to lure the enemy deep. More than 100,000 horses were defeated by the Xiongnu. For more than ten years, the Xiongnu did not dare to attack Zhao. Later generations called Li Mu a "wond genius" and built the "Jingbian Temple" at Yanmen Gate to commemorate his achievements in garriring the border and protect the people.

After the First Emperor of Qin unified the six kingdoms, he sent the general Meng Tian to lead 300,000 troops from Yanmen. "attacked Hu in the north and collected the land of Henan" (i.e. Hetao area), drove the Xiongnu to the north of Yinshan Mountain and built the Great Wall.

The Yanmen in the Han Dynasty was even more changeable. During the period of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu once made a note and drove directly to Jinyang, which is also the modern Taiyuan. To this end, in 201 BC, Liu Bang personally led more than 300,000 troops to Pingcheng (modern Datong, Shanxi) to fight against the Huns. Unfortunately, he was lured by the Xiongnu and trapped in Baishan Mountain in Pingcheng for seven days. Finally, he bribed Shanyu, the wife of the Xiongnu king, with a lot of money to be free. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, he began to fight back in the face of the rampant southern criminals of the Xiongnu. Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and Li Guang, famous generals of the Han Dynasty, have galloped inside and outside the ancient fortress of Yanmen, defeated the Xiongnu many times, and made great contributions. Li Guang, the ape arm general, fought with the Huns dozens of times when he was the governor of Dai County, Yanmen and Yunzhong, and was called the "Flying General" by the Xiongnu. Once, he went out of Yanmen and was defeated and captured. In the net between the enemy's two horses, he lay down on the surface, but he was waiting for an opportunity in his heart. Suddenly, he jumped up, pushed a lot of soldiers off the horse, immediately took the horse to take the bow and drove the horse south for dozens of miles, recovered the remaining army, killed the pursuers, and got out of danger safely. It was during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that strong cavalry was created to resist the southern criminals of the Xiongnu that it was possible to protect the advanced economic and cultural development of the Central Plains and get along well with the Xiongnu in the future. At the time of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, Wang Zhaojun, who had the courage and insight, surrounded him from the Yanmen Gate, was vast and friendly. Since then, there has been a stable situation in this area with "the remote city is closed, the cattle and horses are wild, there is no dog barking police, and Li Shu has no fighting".

Unfortunately, in the Tang Dynasty, the ancient "Hu" Han Dynasty competed with each other, and the heroes competed for the deer, and the war was continuous. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Xue Rengui, who was already old, was the governor of the state and guarded Yanmen. It is said that when the Turks invaded Yunzhou, Xue Rengui led troops to attack. Before the battle, the Turks shouted: Who is Tang General? Tang Bing replied: Xue Rengui. The Turks thought that Xue Rengui died early but didn't believe it. Rengui took off his helmet to show his face, and the Turks were shocked and returned. In the late five generations of the Tang Dynasty, Khitan (Liao) rose in the north, endangering the mainland. Later Jin Shi Jingyu called himself "Emperor" to Liao and cut off 16 states of Yanyun and Khitan. Since then, in the north of Shanxi, Yanmen Mountain has become the dividing line between the Later Jin Dynasty and Khitan, and Yanmen Pass has also become the forefront of the confrontation between the Central Plains Dynasty and ethnic minority local regimes.

In the early Northern Song Dynasty, the Yanmen Pass area was a battlefield of fierce competition between Song and Liao. Famous patriotic general Yang Ye and other Yang family soldiers have shown their skills here for national achievements. In the fourth year of Song Taiping's rejuvenation, Yang Ye served as the governor of the state and was stationed in the army and horses, and defeated the Liao soldiers many times. At that time, Yang Ye was known as "Yang Invincible". In the third year of Yongxi, in the battle near Yanmen, Yang Ye fell into serious trouble due to commander Pan Mei's command error, escape from the battle and suspicion of revenge. In the end, all the soldiers were destroyed. In Chenjiagu, Shuozhou, he was seriously injured and was held by the Liao soldiers. He would rather die than surrender, and finally went on hunger strike for the country. Later generations set up the "General Yang Temple" at the north entrance of Yanmen Pass to commemorate his military achievements and loyalty.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Yanmen Pass was abandoned, and the Xiong Pass was newly established in Dahua, that is, a hundred years ago. This place has once again become the forefront of the beacon to fight against the strong people in the north.

Gu Yanwu talked about historical allusions, and Zhuo Bufan also listened with relish. There was no mobile phone around him, but he got very targeted and easy-to-understand information from Gu Yanwu's mouth. First of all, he understood the importance of Yanmen Pass, as if he saw the history of the Yanmen Pass of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms until the Yuan Dynasty. Li Mu, Li Guang, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Xue Rengui and Yang Jia Jiang, these are all well-known figures in their previous lives, but now they have heard it again in this ancient Chinese population. At the same time, he can't help but think that throughout the ages, there have been many heroes of our Chinese nation, and there are countless great talents, and they have had the glory of the world. Even without the help of mobile phones, if you can make full use of the wisdom of the ancients, avoid smart and the most prone mistakes, and envy infighting, then how can the Tatar post-Jin Temur and the Western powers defeat the wisdom of Dahua for thousands of years.

Of course, with the help of mobile phones, you can naturally get twice the result with half the effort. After all, time is too tight, but I still need to pay more attention to discovering the wisdom of the ancients in the future. Again, don't look down on the ancients.

The people immersed in the dust and smoke of history suddenly heard a sound of wild geese. Looking up, they saw a group of geese flying slowly, passing through the middle of the two mountains of Yanmen Mountain, and a southern geese flying through Tianmen in the north.

The Yang Family Temple is at the gate, and the Yanmen Pass, which is as towering as Haishan Pass, can't make people ignore this ancient and modern Zhongliang Temple.

Zhuo Bufan and his party, including Gu Yanwu, discarded one after another. When they saw the loyalty admired by all people, they naturally went inside to worship. In the ancestral hall, Yang Jianye and other Yang families will be enshrined in it, looking up, as if they can still feel the glory of the past and the helplessness of the hero destroyed by the little man.

At this time, Zhuo Fan suddenly felt that he should still do something for Dahua. Even if he was unable to turn the tide, at least, should he still use snacks in the jade case that is expected to rectify the official governance this time? If Emperor Chongzhen and Princess Changping of Dahua can take advantage of this opportunity to clean up the rule of officials and improve people's livelihood. In less than four years, although it may not be possible to change the world, as long as you can breathe and at the same time, with your own help, you may not be able to survive the disaster of Li's destruction and the entry of the Tatars. If so, I may return to my original intention earlier and enjoy this quiet and leisurely life in ancient times and see the hot-blooded ancient costume beauty in Hanfu.

Out of the ancestral hall, Zhuo Bufan and his party went to Xiongguan and prepared to start their own skills, while Gu Yanwu turned west and continued their journey along the Great Wall.

Zhuofan is also a little reluctant to give up. These university students, no matter what kind of talents they are, are actually quite useful to society. For example, Gu Yanwu does not know much, but he is familiar with history so far, and he will not be bad in other aspects. He must be a talented scholar. Only in terms of history, ancient and modern figures are generally qualified for the role of assistants such as policy formulation, so that those in power can avoid many detours, because, in a certain sense, history itself is also an accumulation of wisdom, which cannot be underestimated for reference.

Unfortunately, such scholars are generally extremely stubborn people. Gu Yanwu's travels are unfinished and naturally refuses to move forward, and Zhuo Bufan also understands the truth that cannot be forced. At present, he has to say goodbye, but tells him that if he arrives in the capital, he will definitely go to the left prime minister's mansion to talk about it.

Gu Yanwu was quite surprised to know that Zhuo Bufan was the son of the left prime minister at this time. He did not expect that the approachable young man in front of him who liked to listen to historical allusions was such a big dboy, or should have been a big dage. At present, I also remember Zhuo Fanfan. The two sides said goodbye freely and went their own ways.

The three Zhuo extraordinary came to the Yanmen Gate and saw the gate open. Today, there was no war. The Xiong Pass was opened, and there was an endless stream of north and south merchants, but it was quite congested in front of the city gate.

Curiously, it turned out that although the gate was open, there were still many sergeants who set up checkpoints, and the caravans from south to north had to go through the inspection. Because of this, the gate was so crowded.

Zhuo extraordinary did not go out of the customs. He squeezed aside to see what was going on first. However, when a large caravan passed by, a leader first went to the side to whisper to the leader, stuffed something, and then turned it on and released. And some small caravans, or businessmen walking back for the first time, were made difficult to pay money after paying taxes, which caused such a congestion.

"Damn it, you still don't hand it over!" Suddenly, a soldier viciously caught the collar of a single-running vendor and shouted.

"Master, I have paid the tariff, why do I still pay it?" The single businessman said with a bitter face that they are naturally unwilling to waste money on small business.

Zhuo Fan secretly said that it was not good. This guy has no eye, and he can't avoid some suffering.

Sure enough, the sergeant's face changed, and he said so clearly that this short-sighted thing was still crooked. As soon as he kicked him to the ground, two junior sergeants came forward and tied him up.

"The Tart's spy came and took it down, and the property was confised and waited for the Ministry of Health tomorrow."

Okay, not only the silver is gone, but also the people are gone. Zhuo Fan doesn't know the details, but he also knows that this person will lose his skin if he doesn't die.

The people behind learned to be obedient, and all of them obediently paid for peace, and Zhuo Fan looked at it for a long time and felt that it was meaningless. Such things were everywhere all the way, and it was not surprising.

Looking back and forth, the vendor who set up a stall on the roadside asked, "I heard that the jade tribute from the Western Regions entered the customs here. I don't know when it is usually?"

Unexpectedly, the man didn't raise his head and said impatiently, "It's your first time to come. Find a place to live first. I guess it will be some time. You haven't seen that nine out of these wandering people are all coming to Taoyu."

"Huh? Taoyu?" Zhuo Fan was surprised to hear that this is not the origin of jade. What kind of jade is it? Is it from the royal jade tribute? This is going to lose its head.
