The Yinshan Grassland is located in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tubo Plateau is located in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty.

Han Yue led his army all the way to the south, passing through Longyou and then turning westward, and the 200,000 cavalry became slower and slower the more they went.

There is no other reason for this, but because the road is difficult.

Where is Kennando? It is the land of ancient Bashu.

The ancients had a Shu road difficult, difficult to go to the blue sky, this area is known as the country of abundance, and at the same time it is a basin in the mountains to defend.

Although it is rich and fertile, the road is difficult to navigate.

The most important thing is that to enter Jiannan, you must pass through a plank road, which is simply called the urging of the king of Hades. What a plank road is, modern people may not know much, but if you have been to some scenic spots, walked through the kind of viewing platform built on the cliff, then you know what a plank road is.

Later generations with high-tech and cement steel to build plank road, and can not allow a large area of peers, put in ancient times it is not to be counted on, in fact, the plank road of the Tang Dynasty is still left over from the previous dynasty, many places even if a person stands on it will make a creaky sound.

However, Han Yue had an army of 200,000 and was now on the edge of the plank road. There were 400,000 troops in the three guards of Xifu, of which 200,000 cavalry guards remained in the grassland, and the remaining Xuanjia guards and special guards made a long-distance attack on Jiannan Road.

These 200,000 are also cavalry, but the cavalry is also afraid of the plank road.

Not only were the cavalry afraid, but even the generals under his command were all pale, such as Li Fenghua, who was standing in front of the plank road and constantly observing, his face was obviously a little pale and bloody.

He suddenly ran back to Han Yue's side, and said with concern: "Back to the prince, this place is dangerous. My subordinates just looked at the plank road from afar, but they saw that the mountains stretched for hundreds of miles, and the mountains here were not as gentle as the mountains in other places, and almost every peak was very steep......"

At this time, Yu Chi Baolin walked back from the other direction, and said with the same concern: "It's too scary, just now I saw a woodcutter who was collecting firewood falling down the plank road, fortunately I jumped to catch him, otherwise this fellow's body would be gone." ”

As he spoke, his tone became even more worried, and he looked at Han Yue cautiously and said, "At that time, my subordinates used a spear to penetrate the gap in the mountain rock, and there was still a feeling of continuing to slide and fall. My martial arts far surpass the soldiers in the army, and I am still alone close to the plank road, if the army rides up, I am afraid that it is... I'm afraid it's ......."

He didn't say anything about it, but everyone understood the rest of the meaning. Yu Chi Baolin is known as the best general in martial arts of the young generation of the Tang Dynasty, although he can cross the plank road with his skills, but the cavalry of the three guards of Xifu does not have this kind of skill.

Han Yue's eyes flickered, and he suddenly retracted his gaze and asked, "What about the woodcutter?" The king had something to ask him. ”

Yu Chi Baolin was slightly stunned, then hurriedly bowed his hand, then turned over and walked away quickly, bringing back a cowering woodcutter after a while.

The woodcutter was a little thin, and he was visibly terrified in the face of the army. Han Yue smiled at him and said softly, "Don't be afraid, fellow countrymen, we are soldiers of the court." This king is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, you can call me the prince of our family......"

Unfortunately, the woodcutter was still afraid, and stood there and bowed his head.

Li Fenghua next to him suddenly coughed, and said cautiously: "The name of the prince is spread all over the world, but unfortunately it can't be introduced to Jiannan, and the scout sent by Fang just came back from exploring the road, saying that the people here have not heard of His Royal Highness's name." ”

The implication is very simple, the people have not heard of your name, and naturally they will not eagerly help, in the past, Han Yue had people embracing everywhere, even if he attacked Liaodong, there were locals who surrendered, so he would do things unfavorably, and he would establish a great meritorious service in just a few years.

The support of the people is so strong, it has almost become a great magic weapon for Han Yue to be invincible, and he still has people in Liaodong, but he encountered problems in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Fenghua waited for a long time and didn't see Han Yue's movement, so he puffed up his breath and whispered again: "If Your Highness wants to ask for the road, you can directly send scouts, this woodcutter is obviously afraid of us, and he can't ask anything useful even if he asks." ”

This is still what I meant just now, the people here have never heard of your name, so there won't be much attachment from the heart, since you can't get eager help, it's better to send scouts to explore slowly.

Han Yue's face seemed to be a little abnormal, his eyes kept looking at the mountains in the distance, and he suddenly sighed leisurely, and said with emotion: "The road is difficult, even the information is blocked, I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but there are people in the country who have never heard of it." What a terrible thing this matter is, it makes this king feel cold......"

Everyone was stunned, Li Fenghua glanced at the woodcutter, and whispered: "Your Highness, don't give birth to him, after all, he is just an ignorant commoner!" ”

"I'm not referring to this ......" Han Yue shook his head and explained, "What chills me is the suffering of the people. ”

Everyone was stunned again, and they didn't understand what Han Yue meant.

Han Yue looked around at everyone, and finally looked at the mountains, and suddenly pointed to the plank road in front of him, and said bitterly: "The country of abundance is extremely rich, but because of the distance between roads, it is difficult to spread even information. If you think about it, it's hard to get in and out of this place, and it's even more difficult for other things. This king once said that if people want to get rich, they must first build roads, and the road can smooth the transportation of goods, which will make the economy prosperous, but Jiannan is blocked by mountains, and a dangerous plank road cuts off the lifeblood of the people......"

He sighed lightly and muttered: "So they can only squat hard in the mountains, and have been living a poor life for thousands of years, although the land of Bashu is extremely rich, but the goods cannot be transported, and the economy cannot develop and progress, which is the responsibility of the court of the past dynasties, and the grandfather and father of this king are also responsible." A monarch can't reach the world, so what kind of blessing is sitting on the dragon chair? ”

These words were a bit heavy, and all the generals present did not dare to take over. Everyone coughed lightly and pretended to look down at the stones on the ground.

Han Yue suddenly turned around and dismounted, and slowly walked in front of the woodcutter, he tried his best to calm his tone, and asked Wen Sheng again: "Don't be afraid, fellow countrymen, we are soldiers of the court." Just now, my general said that you fell off the plank road and were rescued by him, was there a lot of this kind of thing before? ”

It seems that because of the mention of life-saving grace, the woodcutter's courage in front of him has finally grown a little, but he still doesn't dare to look up at Han Yue, just whispered and smiled: "The adult is right, falling down the plank road is indeed frequent, the little old man has been fighting all his life, and he has seen countless tragic things." ”

His eyes suddenly darkened, and he said cowardly: "My eldest son also fell off the plank road and died, and the second son also died on this plank road, poor two stupid children who wanted to sell rice for sale, but they put their lives on the ......"
