Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 41
Liu Yizhen visited Jinsuo Pass in his previous life. There are ancient pine trees and strange stones everywhere, often surrounded by auspicious clouds.

Unfortunately, Liu Yizhen and others did not come here for sightseeing, but to conquer this land.

"Are you ready?"

"Don't worry, Duke Guiyang! The preparations are complete!"

Behind Liu Yizhen is a Jin army team of 800 people. Unlike other Jin troops, this Jin army did not wear armor, but everyone wore animal skin clothes stripped from Hu Xia's dead soldiers.

The phrase "bitter cold outside the Great Wall" is not just for words.

After leaving Guanzhong, there are no high mountains to block the air-conditioning from the north. The coldness is definitely to the level of freezing to death.Even some big men in Guanzhong couldn't resist the cold, let alone the Jin army from the south?
There is no way, Liu Yizhen can only weaken his own fighting power, give up the armor and wear animal skins to keep out the cold.

"Everyone, be careful, this place is full of strange rocks, don't step on the ground, and march according to General Fu's instructions!"

Right now besides Fu Hong, there are actually two guides in the Jin army.

That is the captured He Lianchang and Wang Maide.

He Lianchang was brought along because he was the third prince of Hu Xia after all, and it might be miraculously effective in this kind of solitary in-depth military operation.

The reason for taking Wang Maide was purely because this person was a military officer stationed near Beishan in the Later Qin Dynasty before serving as Helian Bobo's military adviser, and he should be very familiar with the terrain.Otherwise, there is no way to come up with a strategy to block Guanzhong.

This Jin army marched in the mountains, sometimes surrounded by cliffs, and if they were not careful, they would be smashed to pieces.

Fortunately, it is not spring and summer, and there is no fog in the mountains, otherwise it will make it more difficult for the Jin army to move forward.

"Duke Guiyang of the Great Jin Dynasty... how did you think of attacking the hinterland of Daxia from here?"

It was Wang Maide who asked the question.

His status in Hu Xia is actually very high, and he can be regarded as Helian Vigorous' schemer.Being caught by the Jin army was somewhat unexpected.In other words, his life has always been miserable. In fact, at the beginning, he was only a military officer on the border of the Later Qin Dynasty. He was captured by Helian Bobo in a battle with Hu Xia, and he served Helian Bobo from then on.

At this time, Wang Maide looked at the Jin army leading him through the Jinsuo Pass with melancholy, knowing that the Jin army was going to the hinterland of Hu Xia.Knowing Hu Xia well, he naturally knew that it would be a disaster if the Jin army appeared in Hu Xia.

Liu Yizhen didn't want to talk to Wang Maide at first.

Because he likes his own family to flatter him. As for his enemies, of course, the more he scolds him, the happier he is.

But this time Liu Yizhen did not take Du Ji with him when he went out, and he was surrounded by some rough men. Liu Yizhen felt a little lonely by himself, so he said casually: "As long as the Huns invade Guanzhong, the Han people are not allowed to fight back against the Huns?"

Wang Maide shrank his neck that was shivering due to the cold wind: "Mr. Guiyang, it's not like this. People outside the pass are actually living a miserable life. In this winter, there is no fodder, and cattle and horses cannot be raised. They can only come to keep warm." begging for food in Guanzhong."

"Ah."

Liu Yizhen looked at Wang Maide like a fool.

"Your Excellency, you mean to invade the people of the Han family just because the other party can't survive? When will the world have such a reason?"

Liu Yizhen was particularly disgusted by Wang Maide's argument.

Feelings, you are living a hard life and are going to rob us?

May I ask which piece of land in the Han family was not developed by Huaxia itself?

Just like the previous Guanzhong.

Although the current Guanzhong is known as the land of abundance, its innate conditions are still not as fertile as the Central Plains.

Isn't it because the old Qin people worked in Guanzhong for hundreds of years and various water conservancy projects in the Han Dynasty made Guanzhong a fertile land?

The example in Guanzhong is too far away, so let’s take the current south as an example.

In fact, the south has always been a place where prisoners were exiled during the Han Dynasty, especially after crossing the Yangtze River, there are a lot of no-man's land.

But now it has become the rear of the orthodox Eastern Jin Dynasty of the Han family, raising tens of millions of people.

Those lands were not cultivated bit by bit by Han Jiaerlang?

Now that the northern nomads say that the north is cold, you come to invade the warm China. Does it seem that you are justified?

This is the same as the foot pot chickens of later generations, shouting every day that their country is small and the people are large, and they want to get the vast Northeast region and even the Central Plains of China.Well, your small place is what China owes you?Stupid!

Seeing that Liu Yizhen seemed to be annoyed, Wang Maide didn't dare to speak again, lest Liu Yizhen throw himself into the ravine in anger.

In these mountains, the Jin army groped forward, eating the dry food they brought with them when they were hungry, and melting the icy snow on the mountains when they were thirsty. Chilblains.

After walking for five or six days in a row, finally some soldiers couldn't hold on and developed a high fever.

"Duke Guiyang, I'm afraid we can only leave him here."

Fu Hongzhi couldn't bear to look at that soldier, but in this situation, I'm afraid he can only abandon him.

Liu Yizhen looked at the soldier silently.

"No."

Liu Yizhen untied the fur robe he was wearing and wrapped it around the soldier.

"Who is not raised by father and mother. If he died on the battlefield, I have nothing to say, but he is still alive now. If we leave him, we will be animals."

After taking off the fur robe, Liu Yizhen suddenly felt a gust of cool wind pouring into his body from the collar, and couldn't help shivering.

"Duke Guiyang..."

"It's okay, let the strong soldiers carry him on their backs for a while, and come in turns."

Fu Hongzhi still wanted to persuade him, but he saw Shen Tianzi who had been swaying coldly on the road and picked him up.

"Duke Guiyang is right. To die on the battlefield is a hero. To die here is not. If we leave him here, we are not worthy of being human."

Seeing that Shen Tianzi, who is a southerner, was like this, Fu Hongzhi finally stopped persuading him.

In the next few days, people continued to freeze and collapsed, and the food was almost eaten up.

Even Liu Yizhen can only eat some wild mushrooms found in the mountains to satisfy his hunger at this time, let alone other people.

Not only that, Liu Yizhen himself felt frostbite and blood blisters on the soles of his feet, and he walked forward enduring the pain on weekdays.

"Haven't you left yet?"

"almost!"

Under such extreme circumstances, even Wang Maide and He Lianchang, who were prisoners, hoped to go out as soon as possible, and both of them began to lead the way for the Jin army.

"I remember that there is a small tribe going west after walking out of Beishan, as long as you stick to it, you will be fine!"

It's hard to imagine that this was what He Lianchang, the third prince of Hu Xia, said. It seems that the physical torture has already made him a leader.

After walking for another day, everyone suddenly found that the terrain began to flatten and the temperature began to rise.

Some even saw some Hun herders.

The news got everyone excited.

This shows that they have passed the damn Beishan and officially entered the hinterland of Hu Xia!
