Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Guo Shao and the others rushed out of Yuzhou, but no one was chasing them, so they gradually felt relieved. It’s not that serious at this time. At least Zhecong Ruan didn’t dare to take Guo Shao. What’s not certain is Li Chuyun’s situation...Because of the injustice and the beating of the son who bullied the male and female, a general of the Forbidden Army would be killed. If the Jiedu envoy was lynched, it is estimated that Zhe Congruan would not be able to be the Jiedu envoy.

Is it worth the unhappiness for Li Chuyun and Zhegong? Guo Shao and Zuo You both thought it was worth it, because they couldn't win over a general of the rank of Zhe Gong, and only Li Chuyun was the candidate he should fight for.

Everyone rushed for a long time, and as soon as they left the quiet and difficult site, they immediately found the post house to rest. It is estimated that what Ruan Zhen wants to do will not wait until now.

The post station of Kannai University is a small city with a walled gate. Travellers drive local commerce and trade, and there are usually markets around it. Li Chuyun's family members and servants totaled a dozen people, plus Guo Shao and others, and there was enough space to live.

The wife of the Li family's nanny also followed. She was not originally from Yezhou, and she followed the Li family to Hanzhou when she moved to town. The nurse took care of the Li family for more than ten years, and now she is almost the same as a member of the Li family. The nanny holds her own qualifications and often has to take care of Li's affairs. As soon as I arrived at the inn, I got busy, and I had to wash the robe and return it to others after it was clean and dried. The robe was the clothes of Guo Shao who was wrapped in Li's home.

Li's refusal, and don't know how to explain it, after thinking about it, he argued: "If you bake your clothes, you can wash them when Fengxiang settles down!"

As soon as the nurse left the room, Li took out the robe from the baggage, looked at it for a while, then held it up and put it in front of his nose to smell it. It seemed to be a little sweaty, and there were other smells, or maybe it didn't smell at all, but she was thinking about it.

Being startled, suddenly the door of the room "creaked" was pushed open again, Li hurriedly stuffed his clothes into the baggage, shocked and ashamed, his face suddenly turned red.

...

Early the next morning, a civil official from Fengxiang Town made a special trip to receive him and asked Guo Shao to meet with Jiedu Shi Wang Jing again after arriving at Fengxiang Mansion. Following this courtesy, Guo Shao guessed that Tokyo Wang Pu's letter might have been received by Wang Jing.

Guo Shao was more relieved. After they settled in Fengxiang Mansion and met Wang Jing, they left Li Chuyun's family in Fengxiang, and went to Chencang the next day to understand the terrain with all their heart.

Fengxiang town chief Shi Zhang Zhao personally accompanied Guo Shao to Chencang, and then traveled through Sanguan.

The crowd set off from Chencang early in the morning, and the group walked for about thirty or forty miles before arriving at Sanguan in the afternoon. Along the way, there are only high mountains and steep mountains, and the road is only a valley, like a traffic pipeline between heavy mountains.

As soon as he arrived at Sanguan, Zhang Zhao first said: "Guo Dushi cannot venture out of Sanguan. In front of him is the territory controlled by the Shu army, and the terrain is complicated, so there may be some mistakes."

Seeing the steep mountains, Guo Shao could not help but sigh: "This is the road of Shu? No wonder the poet Li Bai said that the road of Shu is harder than the sky."

Zhang Zhao laughed and said: "It is indeed the road to Shu, but the road from Chencang to Sanguan is still a good walk, aren't we riding horses? This road is called Chencang Road, "Mingxiu Plank Road Darkness Chencang" is said. Road; the north end is in Chencang. There are several roads in Shu, and Chencang Road is the flattest one."

Guo Shao saw that the pass was steep and stuck in the middle of the valley, surrounded by steep mountains; except for the valley road in the middle, let alone walking, it is not easy for a small group of people to climb the mountain, so he said, "Since Chencang Road is the flattest road. Road, it will be difficult for the Shu army to enter the pass... Is it easy to enter Longyou (Gansu)?"

Zhang Zhaodao: "Exactly, Qinzhou has been in Longyou since ancient times."

Zuo You could tell the truth about these general things, and Guo Shao would not continue to talk about it. My heart is just thinking: Qinzhou is in Longyou, and the army will enter the Guanzhong Plain as long as it rushes down; the imperial court is preparing to regain the several prefectures occupied by Shu, and it may be most concerned about the objective threat of Qinzhou.

Guo Shao and others had never been to this place, let alone the Shu Road. At this time, there was not much to see except to look at the mountains. He pondered for a while, and felt that if this omen had stayed in Fengxiang for a long time, he might at least be familiar with the general location. The paper mill is about to come right now, and I placed it upstairs with everyone, and then took out a woodcut ruler from my suitcase.

This tactical checkpoint seemed very peaceful at this time. There were only a few soldiers on duty on the wall, and very few travelers passed the checkpoint.

Guo Shao glanced at the position of the sun for a while, then drew a circle on the paper and wrote in tiny petty letters: Chen Cang. Then, on the paper in the lower right corner, I drew a short line against the ruler and wrote: Forty li. Estimating the direction, draw another curved line, and write "Sanguan" on one end of the line.

Zhang Zhao and Zuo You both watched Guo Shao's play with this stuff with great interest, because the operation was simple and rough, they understood it, but they thought Guo Shao's approach was a bit strange.

Guo Shao asked again: "Qinzhou is west of Chencang, north of Chencang? Can Zhang Changshi remember how far it is?"

Zhang Zhaodao: "The direction should indeed be north, about five hundred miles away."

Guo Shao then measured the distance according to his words and marked Qinzhou far away from Chencang.

In one question and one answer, Zhang Zhao was indeed knowledgeable, as long as it was a slightly famous place, he could answer the approximate location. So Guo Shao drew the larger cities and towns such as Fengzhou, Chengzhou, Jiezhou, Xiongsheng Jungu Town, Xingzhou, Shannan Xidao (Hanzhong)... The four states should be the territory of Shu that the imperial court is about to capture.

Cheng and Feng are the east-west frontier, located to the south of Chencang. Fengzhou is the nearest to Chencang, more than two hundred miles southwest of Chencang; Chengzhou is three hundred miles west of Fengzhou. The Shu army's victory over Jungu Town is between Chengzhou and Fenghuang...Jiezhou is the farthest, nearly 300 miles southwest of Chengzhou.

Other places are not too far away, but Guo Shao seems to be outside the scope of this campaign. There are Xingzhou and Shannanxi Road (Hanzhong). Xingzhou is just south of Guzhen, at the west end of the Hanzhong Plain; from Xingzhou to the east, it enters the Hanzhong Plain, which is the Xingyuan Mansion of the Jiedu County, Shannan West Road.

Probably Guo Shao knew the location and drew a rough diagram. However, the topography of the roads between these towns is still unclear. Guo Shao knew for a little bit that the marching route should not just look at the straight-line distance... For example, the Qinling Mountains in front of Sanguan, unless they are flying, it would be difficult to cross.

Guo Shao looked at the schematic diagram in his hand, clicked it, and had to wire it before it could be surfaced. I asked about the rivers first, there should be four rivers.

The northernmost Weishui, the river from Qinzhou to Chencang is Weishui; the ancient road water, connecting Jialing River, flows approximately to the "Chencang Road" in the Shu Road, from Chencang, Fengzhou, Xingzhou to the north and south; Qiangshui flows eastward to Jialing River through Xianzhou ; There is also Han River that passes through Shannan West Road.

Beyond the river is the road. Zhang Zhaoji is not clear about it. He can only explain the Baishu Road, the "Chen Cang Road" here.

However, the general terrain is that the road from Chencang to Qinzhou is along the Weishui River, which is relatively easy to walk, but the distance is very long; Qinzhou goes south to the east to the Cheng, Fengyi line is also very flat, the road is even further... if you go to Chen Cangrao Qinzhou, all the way to Fengzhou, at least a thousand miles away.

From Chencang directly south to Cheng (west) and Feng (east), you have to cross the Qinling Mountains; in fact, Chencang and the southern part of the Weishui line in Qinzhou are both Qinling mountains, with high mountains and complex roads going south.

Guo Shao's trip was quite rewarding. He at least understood: The purpose of the court's campaign was to control the front line of the Qinling Mountains; and to eliminate the threat from Longyou to Guanzhong.

When staying in Tokyo before, no one would tell him this. It was impossible for the Queen, Wang Pu and others to teach him in detail. The only knowledgeable Zuo You has limited knowledge of these things. Zuo You is mainly familiar with Tokyo officialdom.

Guo Shao was given the power of six thousand elite soldiers in the Department of Guards, and he should be a powerful force in the upcoming battle of Shu. If the general does not know anything, if the time comes, if the battle is unfavorable, the court will investigate it, ask three questions, and answer only Wang Jing and Xiang Xun's deployment, how can he explain?

And Guo Shao's vision is to fight hard, UU reading www. uukanshu.com hopes to fight quickly.

For a while, Guo Shao was a little grateful that he was still a person who had lived in modern society, and he always had knowledge. Otherwise, if you change to an ordinary low-level school to soar for a few months, and command operations, like Guo Shao, where there is almost no convenient source of information, I am afraid I will really ask three questions.

Then Guo Shao stayed away without returning to Chen Cang and Feng Xiang. While waiting for the three Luo Yanhuan, Jingniang's entourage and others to be dispatched, he befriended the guards and inquired about the nearby terrain and the deployment of the Shu army.

The soldiers garrisoned in Sanguan, in order to prevent the Shu army from attacking...Although the Shu army basically does not provoke a war in peacetime, it is necessary for the Zhou army garrison to regularly send scouts to operate nearby, and sometimes bring back several guides.

In the past, Cheng, Feng and other places belonged to "China", but now they belong to the Kingdom of Shu. The local people don't care who rules, they are almost the same anyway, and there is no concept of righteousness. Fighting is also a civil war. As long as they are given certain benefits, they are willing to lead the way.

Based on this, Guo Shao drew several maps of terrain and roads with a smaller scope. His knowledge of geography comes entirely from the high school entrance examination, and he has forgotten most of it, but he still remembers some methods of expressing the contours with the density of coils, but they are not used. Who draws so complicated? As long as the mountain has no way to go, how high is the mountain? The scale was actually used by him and came in handy.

Zhang Zhao and Zuo You were surprised when they saw Guo Shao's drawing for the first time.

Out of curiosity, Guo Shao was about to come to the map stored in Sanguan, and he immediately understood why they were surprised... He felt that his scribbled map was already very rough, but the map used by Zhou Jun's military was even more unsightly. The characters are big and the mountain doodles. There is no concept of scale at all. A city painting takes up half of the Qinling Mountains. This is a big city...
