Chapter 615 (1/2)
The Chu and Han dynasties had no peace and strife, and the chasm and the painting world were all swallowing each other.
According to the historical records of Xiang Yu, the king of Xiang was divided into two parts, namely, the Han Dynasty in the West and Chu in the East
Chasm, the land of Xingyang, was the temporary dividing line between the two armies when the Chu and Han Dynasties were fighting each other. Therefore, the word ”insurmountable gap” was derived.
The chasm is located in the east of Xingyang, connecting Huaihe River and Sishui River, bordering on Mangshan Mountain in the north, Suohe River in the south, Songshan Mountain in the south, hulaoguan pass in the West and Luoyang and Chang'an in the West.
”Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, worshipped by Li Jingye, once fought against the Qin army here, and eventually the Qin army won, and Wu Guang died in Xingyang.” Li Hongli is in the bow of the boat. The weeds on both sides of the boat have withered and yellow, revealing a large area of loess before him. The breeze blows, making a rustling sound, with a trace of the bleakness of late autumn and early winter.
Bai Chun glanced over her forehead, her hair disturbed by the wind. On her beautiful cheek, a pair of bright eyes looked at the scenery along the river and murmured: ”the battle of Hulao, which was often talked about by the former Emperor, did not take place here. More than 3000 people defeated Dou Jiande's 100000 army, thus taking down Hulao pass, Niukouyu and other dangerous places and forcing the king to occupy Luoyang Shichong surrendered. ”
”It's true that the former Emperor spent his whole life in military service. The battle in Hulao can be said to be a proud battle. After that, the former Emperor was conferred the title of” General of Tiance ”. In this way, it also foreshadows the change of Xuanwu Gate Li Hong said with emotion.
The Wuya warship drew in slowly, and the river ahead was silted up and could not move forward. Grain ships on the river that were transported from the south to Luoyang and Chang'an had to go ashore here, and then took the land route, either directly transporting grain to Chang'an, or temporarily storing it in Hulao and Heyin warehouses in Xingyang.
The group of 200 people was not very prominent on the river where the merchant ships came and went. Therefore, Li Hong and his party abandoned the ship and took the land route, which naturally did not attract other people's attention.
When mang Wei got on the boat, he complained that it was not until he got on the river bank to clean up the grain
Grain of grain kicked Wei Tu Qi, and looked warily at the prince and Bai Chun not far away, and whispered, ”do you mean that the prince's highness does not act? Your highness, as a secretary of state, is naturally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of works. If your highness hears this, be careful to be punished. ”
Wei Tu Qi quickly turned his head and looked at the calm Prince and Miss Bai Chun. With an embarrassed smile on his face, he scratched his head and said, ”I don't mean that. I mean it's too strange, right? I went to ask just now. The blockage was cleaned up only three days ago. It was chosen at the crucial moment when his highness returned to Chang'an. Isn't it that the Ministry of works does not have a long eye and it is hard to serve his highness intentionally? ”
”Who could have thought that the river silting is all cleaned up section by section. It happens that it's not clear that it's the turn of this place. Moreover, the Ministry of works may not know that his highness will return to Beijing. If he does, it will not be so.” The cheetah took a look at the grain carrier's stunned grain crops and said in a low voice.
The Wei Tu Ji listened to the cheetah 's words and nodded with approval. Then the three stood on the dock. After a while, a thin horse was brought over.
The soldier saluted and said, ”I've searched all over the dock, but there's only one horse like this.”
”Well, it's OK to ride. Fortunately, the journey is not far away. It should be OK.” Grain of grain returns to God, looked at the horse of skinny bag bone, satisfaction says.
Now they have to go to Xingyang county and ask the county magistrate or Zhechong government to borrow 200 war horses and a carriage.
Naturally, cheetah and Wei Tuqi were indifferent to each other. The wharf was not a big deal. Compared with the docks in Yangzhou and Hangzhou, it was just like a warehouse.
Although there were several carts for transporting grain, it seemed that those horses were even weaker than the one in front of them. They were oxen carts, and they were not as fast as the two legs of grain grains.
What's more, the prince's Royal Highness has an order. Try not to disturb too many dignitaries in Xingyang. It's better to get war horses and carriages unconsciously. Therefore, it's good to have such a weak horse.
”Will the Zheng family of Xingyang get to know the magistrate of Xingyang county? In case we know you are driving in Xingyang, I'm afraid we will come to meet you in a big way again?” Bai Chun and Li Hong, standing in a corner of the wharf, looked at the clear river and said.
”The Zheng family in Xingyang? I'm afraid it's too late to avoid me, right? I suddenly fell to Xingyang from the sky. It is estimated that the Zheng family of Xingyang will have to think about it for a long time. But who knows, I'll just leave it to them. ” Li Hong put his hands back, wondering if he would like to take advantage of the waiting time to go to the Hulao pass to have a look?
Hulao pass, also known as Sishui pass, is naturally not too far away from the place where Li Hong and Li Hong landed. So Li Hong looked at the long mountain range at the end of Song Mountain, which is not high in the south. In his heart, Li Hong went to Hulao pass and looked at the place where the former Emperor was most proud of the battle.
After the unification of the Tang Dynasty, although there was still Zhechong Prefecture here, the number of troops stationed here was not as large as that at that time.What's more, Hulao pass is only one of the eight passes that defend Luoyang. Therefore, in terms of the distribution of troops, Hulao pass, which is a dangerous pass, has been submerged in the numerous passes and becomes plain.
But even so, it doesn't mean that the guards at Hulao pass are loose.
