Chapter 53 Yingchuan County Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
On the way, Tai Shici asked Yu Da, "Yu Da, Cao Cao, who defected to Xu Chang, why didn't you send someone to inform me about such a big thing? Why don't you pull me into the partnership?"
"Ha ha, Commander Taishi, I guess Guo Fengxiao thinks Xu Chang is not suitable for you... In troubled times, it's better for brothers to develop separately!" Yu Da explained with a smile.
"Well, Brother Feng Xiao has said a similar statement before: power separation is sometimes more practical than strength!" Taishi Cimao suddenly opened, and the depression in his heart swept away.
Under the guidance of the locals, they moved to a place that specializes in selling food. People come and go here, which is extremely lively. After shopping for three companies, Taishi Ci and Yu Da finally chose several companies and collected enough 20,000 stones of grain.
In the face of such a big buyer, the owner of the grain store is in full bloom. Under the enthusiastic introduction of the boss, Taishici chose a courtyard in Yingchuan City to serve as a fixed contact point for the Qingzhou government. That is, the Qingzhou office in Yingchuan City.
Finally, the grain store owner organized a transportation team to transport 20,000 stone grain from the granary to the place designated by Taishici. Twenty thousand stone grain and fodder, more than 400,000 catties, even a transport team of dozens of people, less than 30 military trucks in three days.
In the spare time of three days, Taishici will never be free. In the temporary tent, Taishici, Yuba and others are watching a huge map: this map is three meters long and two meters wide. It is made of ancient animal skin, and the rivers, mountains, mountains and plains on the map are depicted in various colors.
Yu Ba pointed his baton to the map and introduced Tai Shici in detail: "Tai Shi, this map was intercepted from the caravan of the Xiongnu. If this map flows into the hands of the high-level officials of the Xiongnu, the consequences will be unimaginable... This map is almost the same as the real mountain and river city, except for the Yellow River changing its course decades ago. More than a dozen cities have been flooded... Ha ha, to be a digression, this map has a history of hundreds of years, and it is estimated that it can still be used for another hundred years! The so-called 'the country is easy to change the monarch, and the mountains and rivers are still long-lasting'..."
When Tai Shici and others heard this, they were amused by Yu Da's literary and historical language. Everyone's cheerful and sunny mood also affected Yuda. Next, he continued to say to the crowd with a smile, "This map of mountains and rivers is based on the actual terrain of Kyushu. The map is refined to the market town... Ladies and gentlemen, please look at the area of Yingchuan City... Ha ha, don't look at it randomly..."
Because everyone is watching the map of Shenzhou for the first time, everyone watches the map according to their own preferences, and then extends around according to the focus of attention, and does not listen to Yu Da's words at all... People who read the map for the first time are all in this way.
Yu generally sensed everyone's emotions. Fortunately, he stopped talking and let everyone see enough! As a leader, Tai Shici was the most unconscious. He saw Yu Da retreating with a baton and looked closely at the map. Of course, he began to watch from his hometown, Donglai County, Bohai County, Qingzhou, and then remembered various terrain and cities one by one according to the curve of the Yellow River.
Driven by Tai Shici, Yu Ba and others also watched the map closely and had a warm conversation with others...
After two hours, everyone's enthusiasm gradually faded. As a result of such initiative and enthusiasm, they all remember the huge topographic map. Interest and enthusiasm are indeed the best teachers.
In this way, Yu Da hasn't found the feeling of a teacher. When everyone returned to their seats, he approached the huge map with the baton again.
Yu raised his baton and clicked the map and said to everyone, "Guys, Huaxia Jiuzhou was originally from the Liu Dynasty, but today's rivers and mountains are turbulent. In fact, it no longer belongs to the Liu royal family, and of course it does not belong to us... Ha ha. Previously, I was familiar with Guo Fengxiao's notes and combined Guo Fengxiao's field investigation with the map. We can see that with Yingchuan City as the center, the camp of the officers and the mountains occupied by the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army are intertwined. Among them, the biggest force of the officers and soldiers is the Xiliang Legion led by Duan Wei, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army. The leading army is the army led by Liao Hua and Du Yuan, who are in the chess mountain, and Pei Yuanshao. ..."
Yu Da circled and drew a picture on a huge map with a baton, and explained it carefully to everyone one by one. With a touch of face, Yu Da also explained to everyone why Zhonglang General Duan Wei left Chang'an and led his 6,000 soldiers and relatives to Yingchuan City: Duan Wei began to be one of the fierce generals under Dong Zhuo, the leader of the Xiliang Legion, and was as famous as other Zhonglang generals Niu Fu, Xu Rong, Hua Xiong and others. With successive wars and small battles, the rest of the middle men will die one after another, only Duan simmers to live alone...
With Dong Zhuo being assassinated by Fengwu General Wenhou Lv Bu, the rising stars of the Xiliang Corps, Li Wei, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and other generals took the opportunity to annex the ownerless Xiliang army and grew up quickly. In order to avoid the tragic result of being annexed by his former subordinates, Zhonglang led his army into the hinterland of the Central Plains. According to the edict from the imperial court, Duan became the garrison of Yingchuan City. The edict was nominally issued by Emperor Xian, but it was actually the idea of Li Wei and others.
Du Yuan, one of its leaders, is the son of Zhang Jiao, the great virtuous master, and his biological father, Du Chao, is the chief martial arts instructor of the Yellow Turban Army. Like Liao Hua, Pei Yuanshao and other generals of the Yellow Turban Army are all Du Chao's personal disciples. Due to the superb martial arts skills of your leaders, due to Du Yuan's special status and the large number of soldiers under his command, this yellow scarf army has become the leader of the yellow scarf army around Yingchuan City.
Yu Da said that his mouth was dry, and everyone listened with relish. It's really charming to talk about books, and people who listen to books are fascinated by ghosts...
Subsequently, Yu Da's point of view was fully demonstrated, which caused the deep-seated reason why the Yellow Turban Army and the officers and soldiers in Yingchuan City were at peace with each other: it was not the relationship between the Yellow Turban Army and the officers and the army, but a group of literati contributed to this ingenious balance between the martial arts. Guo Tu, Ju Shu, Xun You, Xun Yu and Mao Yu, who were born in Yingchuan City, are hot figures around the princes of the world today. Their places of origin are naturally treated differently by the warlords of all parties.
Who dares to make trouble in Yingchuan City? The consequences are very serious. Even the arrogant, unreasonable, domineering and fierce Marquis of Wen Lv Bu does not dare to act arbitrarily in the land boundary of Yingchuan City...
When Yu finished his explanation and put away the huge map, although the Kyushu map in everyone's sight disappeared, the scene of the Kyushu map had been deeply engraved in everyone's minds.
After that, Yu Da, with his four agile brothers, followed Tai Shici to explore the important checkpoints and fortresses around Yingchuan City.
Six people from Taishi Ciyu and his party drove the war horse and ran between the green mountains and rivers. Under the bright sun, the vast fields, wheat is grouting, and the rolling wheat waves indicate another good harvest this year. Through quiet observation in secret places, Tai Shici and others found that most of the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army have returned to normal and lived a stable agricultural life, which is a miracle in troubled times.
Entering Qipan Mountain, Tai Shici and others observed that there were hidden dark whistles in the neat rocks and dense woods. However, the dark whistle doesn't seem to be interested in Tai Shici and others in casual clothes. The two sides are at peace.
The mountain of Qipan Mountain is just like its name. The overall mountain is gentle, with slight ups and downs. The mountain road circled up, only enough for two heavy trucks to run side by side. On one side of the mountain road was a steep cliff. While walking, he accidentally climbed down the cliff, and the result could only be one - death.
Due to the overall gentleness of the mountain, the valley between the mountains is almost as flat as the plain, and the winding streams are winding and winding. On both sides of the winding stream is a good field. Some high-aled fertile fields actually have water trucks to transport streams up through the bamboo official road...
With the help of the flow rate impact of the stream, the water truck automatically flips, reaches the highest water tank and automatically flips, and the stream is poured into the bamboo pipe at the highest point. Following the bamboo pipes, the stream nourishes the terraces on the hillside.
Such a scene made Taishici and others can't help sigh: the master is really in the folk... Near dusk, the curling smoke rises in the depths of the chessboard mountain, and the tired birds also fly back to the nest... These vivid scenes are like a dynamic landscape painting against the backdrop of the bloody dusk.
As the sunset goes down, Qipan Mountain is cut into two obvious parts of light and darkness by the light of dusk. In the dark part, Tai Shici, who climbed high and looked into the distance, suddenly saw a red light reflecting the sky. Because the distance is too far, they can't hear the sound here.
Facing the red light reflecting the sky, Tai Shici pulled out the monocular from his waist, opened the retractable lens, and then put it in his right eye and looked at the red light in the distance.
Tai Shici looked at it and said to everyone, "Gentlemen, that direction is a long and narrow mountain road, and the red light reflecting the sky is caused by the burning fire..."
"Everyone, I'm bored anyway. I'll go and watch it!" Tai Shici put down his monoculars and whispered to everyone.
"No!" Everyone bowed their heads and agreed.
The next moment, everyone held their war horses in their hands and took a shortcut along the straight mountain road to the narrow valley. Fortunately, the six people in the group are all intermediate generals, otherwise it would be impossible for ordinary cavalry to hold a war horse to climb the rocks on the mountain wall.
After a stinging of incense, everyone sneaked into a hidden place to hide their war horses. In the meantime, they have clearly heard the fierce fighting from the valley.
They put on their armor at the fastest speed, wear weapons, bows and arrows, and then jump on the tree pole. With the shift of vision, they saw soldiers standing full of bows and arrows on the gentle slope on both sides of the long and narrow mountain road. These soldiers wore light armor and yellow headscarves, and there was a blazing fire between the soldiers. The equipment shown in the wear shows that this is a yellow scarf soldier.
When Taishici and his party were in a fixed position, the whole long and narrow mountain road was fully presented in front of their eyes: the long and narrow mountain road was full of 30 heavy trucks loaded with goods, and next to the heavy trucks were cavalry waiting. The middle section of the narrow mountain road is close to the abyss, and the front and back of the mountain road are blocked by the Yellow Turban Army: this group of unknown cavalry is 800 people. Their way to go is blocked by lying tree trunks and thorny horses. Their way is blocked by hundreds of yellow scarf soldiers, and the gentle slope of dozens of meters above the mountain road is still Yellow scarf soldiers standing full of bows and arrows...
