1.37 The troops marched north

The two cities of Licheng and Dukang were newly built, and the people were initially decided, and the people's hearts were not attached. Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin should not be moved lightly. Lou Sang is the top priority. If you are not a general, you can't defend it. Huang Gai is the most suitable candidate. When Liu Bei decided to go on the expedition, he explained to Huang Gong.

Huang Gai clenched his fists and said.

Just as Liu Bei only took him north to Wuhuan when he was young, and now he only stays in Lousang. The responsibility is especially great. Huang Gai is quite knowledgeable, how can he not know.

Escorted Liu Bei to Pingbo Shuiqi safely, unloaded all the heavy grain and grass on the ship, and Huang Gai led the fleet back.

The blood stains of Pingbo are still there. Not long ago, after receiving Liu Bei's handwritten letter, Cheng Pu dismissed a cadre and others, killing Xianbei's eyes and ears. Now there are only the subordinates and Lousang mercenaries and the Tian clan left, and there is no one else.

Liu Bei also ordered the craftsmen of the army to renovate the water barracks and build them into a strong camp. Since then, there will be a steady stream of grain and grass from Lousang. It was then transported by military vehicle to Luronse.

Within three days, Xu Rong led 500 dragons to ride hundreds of military vehicles of all kinds and roared in. Wait for the grain and grass to be loaded into the truck. A thousand Xiwu iron horsemen led by Wu Lian and Bai Zhuo also arrived in the camp.

Along the way, the Xianbei rangers were all killed. The absconding Xianbei rangers have their own right Beiping Wuhuan cleanup. If you flee to Liaoxi along the Panhai Road, you will be out of reach. But if you want to flee to Liaoxi and then turn to Danhan Mountain to ventilate and report, the distance is too far, and it is too late. At that time, the young prince and the marquis had already conquered the city of Baitantun. All you need to do is spread out and kill the messenger rangers along the way. Messages will not be leaked.

In the dock fort, Liu Bei and Cheng Pu, the guests and hosts met.

Cheng Pu bowed solemnly: I am willing to go north with the young prince to kill the thief.

Liu Bei smiled and helped: Pingbo Water is the lifeline of our army. It is also a grain road to the north, and there is no room for loss. If the Lord can protect this stone for me, it will be a great achievement.

Cheng Pu got up: In this case, Cheng Puding has a thorough water protection.

Cheng Pu is in charge of the water bar, and Liu Bei has no worries.

After three days of feeding and recuperating, the army set out. Go straight to the foot of Yan Mountain. Two days later, they arrived in Wuzhong County. Join forces with the Wuhuan King of Beiping on the right. Straight to Xu Wushan.

Wu Yan and Liu Bei were quite happy to see each other. Right Beiping Wuhuan can have today's weather, all because of Liu Bei. Cattle and horses, skins, and dried meat were all sold in the city. Profitably. Hearing that Liu Bei was ordered to go out of the customs, he took eight hundred Xianbei horsemen under his command and went together. Seeing that the Xiwu Iron Cavalry under the command of Wu Lian was well-armed, he was envious. Just as he didn't know how to speak, Liu Bei had ordered someone to load more than 800 sets of ringed armor with the same ring as the Xiwu Iron Cavalry that was transported with the car and send them to the Wuhuan camp.

Wuyan was overjoyed, and he should do his best to assist Liu Bei.

The road leading to Xu Wushan is waist-deep with wild grass. and many thorny bushes. There is only one gravel-paved ancient road in the middle, which can be passed by single cyclist. As Tian Chou said, there is only "micro-diameter to follow". Small groups of Xianbei rangers often enter the pass and plunder from this road. Wuyan has ordered dozens of elite horsemen to explore the road first and intercept the Xianbei rangers heading south.

Seeing a few strange-style carriages slowly driving out of the procession, Wu Yan asked Wu Lian in Hu language: What is this?

Ulian smiled: "Lawn mower." It was built by Liu Bei for cutting the grass on the embankment. Now it's just the right time to open the way.

Seeing the cutterhead turning, the weeds that flooded the road broke in unison. Five lawn mowers drove side by side, cutting through thorns and thorns all the way to the depths of the bushes at a uniform speed. Uyan's shock was all on his face. The weeds fell to the ground in layers and formed a straw mat. It was crushed tightly by the mowing wheels, and then trampled by the horses' hooves, and became an iron plate.

Although you can't run wild. But it's not slow. Two days later, Lu Long was in sight.

Lulongsai is located in the easternmost part of the foothills of Xuwu Mountain, between two mountains. Meishan on the left, Yunshan on the right.

In the Han Dynasty, there were four old roads leading to the Central Plains in Liaoxi. It is both Lulongsai Road, Wuji Road, Hiraoka Road, and Ponkai Road. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, from Guangyang County: Ji, to the right Beiping County: Pinggang, there is a big road passing through Lulongsai, called Lulongsai Road.

Now there are only four counties left in Youbeiping. Located outside the Great Wall, the county has been abandoned for many years. Liu Bei also did not need to go to Pinggang. All you need to do is get to Sandalwood.

The elite cavalry sent by Uyan earlier returned. It is said that there is a team of Xianbei stationed in Lulongsai. It seems that Lulongsai, which has been abandoned for many years, has become a pass for Xianbei to the south.

Luronse is surrounded by a low hill. From south to north, it rises sharply. The terrain is abrupt and traffic is difficult. The valley road washed by the water becomes a natural aperture for north-south travel. The high cliffs on the left and right sides of the pass are confronted, and the terrain is dangerous. From this out of the customs, turn east of the White Wolf Water (Daling River) basin, go north to the upper reaches of Tonghuangshui (West Liao River) and the eastern part of the Mongolian Plateau, and go southwest through Xu Yuan, Jun Mi two counties can reach the right Beiping.

Such a choke point, I will abandon it. The reason for this is that the strength is not enough. Burdened by more than 100 years of chaos, the imperial court went all out to look westward. The northern territories, especially the former Han lands beyond the Great Wall, are no longer able to recover.

This is evidenced by the fact that there are only four counties left in Beiping County.

The army camped in the mountains. Liu Bei sent embroidered clothes to kill all the Xianbei rangers in Lu Longsenei under the cover of night. Only two leaders remained, ready for interrogation.

Nothing useful information. Both of them said that the small group of rangers who went south to plunder Youbeiping were mostly familiar with each other, so they went together. There are no three adult dispatches. Because he often went south and gained a lot of money, he cleaned up the long-abandoned Lulongsai for temporary residence. As an outpost for the transport of substances, it rests in the south.

Liu Bei asked again, there have been a large number of Xianbei people who have gone south recently.

The leaders shook their heads. Asked Liu Bei rhetorically, how can Lu Longsai Road, which only has "micro paths to follow", pass through the army.

Liu Bei smiled and waved his hand, and the embroidered clothes officer behind him raised his knife and killed the two.

Lu Longsai is an important place in the former Han Dynasty. The facilities are perfect. In addition to the beacon and pavilion barriers, a large number of tunshu cities were also built inside and outside the Great Wall. From the pre-Qin period to the former Han Dynasty, the defense of the Great Wall developed in depth, forming a continuous defense system. The Great Wall was built by using the topography, and a large number of cities, barriers, pavilions, flints and other related defense facilities were built along the Great Wall, so as to jointly build a more complete and solid fortification against the enemy than a single wall. At that time, it was called: "Plugging with risk".

Louronse was built according to the danger.

The plug body is built on the spot with mountain stones. After 200 years of wind and rain, although most of the facilities are destroyed, the walls are still strong. With a slight trimming, you're ready to go. The war has just started, and Liu Bei still has time. Bai Zhuo and Wu Huan, who were proficient in Hu language, pretended to be Xianbei rangers and went out of the fortress first. Non-stop, rushing to Baisandalwood. He also ordered the craftsmen of the army to renovate and strengthen Lulongsai. The nearby beacons and pavilion barriers were also repaired.

A fortress that has not been cared for by Han Chinese for 200 years. It is surrounded by mountains and forests. Many of the century-old giant trees are in good use.

It is not difficult to repair the stone fort that does not collapse the wall.

Sufficient manpower and tools. Within a few days, the results were observed.

Ten days later, the first batch of baggage has been safely transported from Pingbo Shuiqi. Leaving Wei to lead 20 embroidered officials, 300 crossbowmen, and 200 pikemen to guard Lulongsai. Liu Bei led the army to march again and went to Baitan County.
