Since ancient times, Jianghuai has been integrated, and "guarding the river must first guard Huai". Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe military contest between the southern or southeastern regimes and the northern or central plains regimes was focused on the three towns of Hubei, Xiangzhou, Jingzhou, and Wuchang, and the eastern front was concentrated on the Jianghuai line.

Not to mention the Yangtze River Basin, there are four important military towns guarding the Huai River, namely Shanyang and Xuyi on the eastern front, and Zhongli and Shouchun on the western front.

Shouchun is facing Yingkou, that is, the confluence of the Yinghe River and the Huai River, mainly to resist the Yinghe River or the upper reaches of the Huai River.

However, all important military towns, for mountainous areas, must be held by mountain passages, and only then do they need to be guarded when there are passages, such as the four stops in Guanzhong; As far as the river is concerned, it must be an easy place to cross, because it is easy to cross and then it needs to be guarded against.

There are two places in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, one is the quarrying ferry, and the other is the scraping island ferry, which is located in the upstream and downstream of Jiankang. In order to strengthen the defense of the two ferries, Jiankang stationed heavy troops in Jingkou and Quarry on the south bank of these two ferries, and Guangling and Liyang on the north bank.

Shouchun is also an important town. It can even be called the strongest town on the Huai River.

Every winter, the Huai water is shallow and dry, and it is the easiest time to cross, so Wu Guo sent Ruishi to inspect the riverside, called the shallow soldiers.

When Zhou Shizong Chai Rong conquered the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was this Shouchun that fought the longest and most difficult. In fact, in the end, Shouchun was not beaten down by the Later Zhou army, after more than a year of the battle, the city ran out of ammunition and food, and there was no hope of foreign aid.

When Li Congjing arrived in Shouchun, it was around the beginning of autumn.

At this time, the Hundred Battles Army had already approached Shouchun City.

The battle of Shouchun started very suddenly, at least for the defenders of Shouzhou and for the state of Wu.

When Li Congjing arrived in Shouchun, the 40,000 guards led by Li Congke also went to the Shouchun battlefield one after another.

All of a sudden, the army outside Shouchun City was like a sea, and the company camped for more than ten miles, blocking the water of Shouchun City.

Shouzhou Prefecture, that is, Shouchun County, is located in the south of Huaishui. About 60 miles to the west, it is the intersection of Yingshui and Huaishui, and the north is the intersection of Huaishui and Huaishui. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the famous Battle of Huangshui took place here.

On the eighth day of the seventh month of the first year of Changxing, three days after the beginning of autumn, Li Congjing climbed Bagong Mountain.

Bagong Mountain is located in the northeast of Shouzhou, is the commanding height within a radius of 100 miles, and is also the only mountain in this plain area, more than 70 zhang high, enough to overlook the eight directions.

Accompanying Li Congjing on the mountain were a group of staff and guards from the Qin Palace. Now that the King of Qin is fighting outside, the officials of the Qin Palace's Mansion naturally want to lead the ranks of the army. The marching commander Shi Moli is also the first army division, except for Li Congjing, who is dressed in a green shirt, he is the only one among the people who does not wear an official robe, but a white robe; marching Sima Wang Pu, marching left Sima Zhu Xuan, marching right Sima Xie Yugan; Judge Sang Weihan, secretary Wei Dao, and marching staff officer Du Qianshu - just returned from Yikun Prefecture.

There are more than ten other officials, and they are not enough.

In addition, there are high-ranking generals in the army, such as Meng Ping.

It is worth mentioning that the fifth girl in command of the Military Intelligence Department, Zhao Xiangyao, is also there, Tao Yaoyao is still in the center of Luoyang, and there is a woman who always has a cold face and is full of people who are not approached - Lin Anxin, the head of the Tsing Yi Yamen.

When everyone climbed to the top of Bagong Mountain, it was almost noon. The sky is fine, the sun is shining, but it does not look hot, the mountain breeze wisps, carrying the fragrance of plants and trees, cool and refreshing.

The mountains and rocks have their own physiognomy, and the shapes and sizes are different, which is enough for people to rely on and sit on; The forests in the mountains are lush and green, and they have not yet shown the gloom of late autumn; Looking at the fields in the distance, the earth is vast and boundless; Huaishui has gone through the years, flowing endlessly, like silk and ribbon.

Not far away, Shouzhou City is like a chessboard, it is blue-brown, the houses in the city are lined up one after another, the flags on the city are fluttering, and outside the city, there are several black-robed lakes larger than the area, and then outward, is the company camp composed of white military tents, which surrounds Shouzhou City in the middle.

The origin of the name of Bagong Mountain is said to originate from the story of Liu An, the king of Huainan and his eight disciples when Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty became immortals. On weekdays, there is no shortage of literati and scholars who climb to the top, chanting poems and singing harmony with each other, regardless of whether the former story is true or not, it is a fact that Bagong Mountain is famous for it. Mo Li was sweaty, obviously very hot, but the action of shaking the folding fan was as slow as ever, and the demeanor was dusty.

The fifth girl had already found a poem on a mountain rock on the side, and was busy beckoning Li Congjing to look at it with great interest.

Li Congjing took the silk handkerchief handed over by Dong Xiaowan, wiped the sweat on his face, and then walked to the fifth girl, while watching the poems on the mountain rock, he responded to Mo Li: "The "Huainanzi" written by Liu An and his disciples is indeed a classic, but when it comes to this person, I am afraid that he will not be able to cultivate the avenue and become an immortal. ”

When Li Congjing was talking to everyone, the entourage who followed behind stepped forward quickly, and stepped up to arrange curtains, carpets, small cases, drinks, ingredients and other things in the open space on the top of the mountain.

Now unlike in previous years, the conditions during the war were difficult, and Li Congjing was no longer an envoy, but a prince who was about to enter the East Palace, benefiting from the prosperity of the empire, and the improvement of material living standards was also a matter of course.

Even if Li Congjing personally doesn't like luxury, he can't let the staff and subordinates who have worked hard with him all the way to the north and south continue to work hard, not to mention the appetite, this is also his need to show his prestige and kindness. Moreover, some of the arrangements are not luxurious, and even Zhang Yousheng and Sun Qianli have a lot of scenes.

"The army is fighting, not to mention civil affairs, in the battle of Huangshui, Fu Jian had 800,000 people, but in the end he was defeated by Xie Xuan's 80,000 armor soldiers, which is really sighing." Wang Pu looked at Shouzhou Chengdao, "At that time, the Jin Dynasty, the country was not strong, otherwise there would not be only 80,000 Jiashi, at that time, the family of the gate lord held the authority, and the officials and scribes of the Jin Dynasty advocated empty talk and were ashamed of killing facts, and in this situation, it was a miracle that Fu Jian could be defeated in one fell swoop." ”

The habit of scholars has always been to look at historical sites and then talk about the past and the present, which is also a major feature of Chinese officials and even Chinese history.

Li Congjing was sitting on the boulder and looking at the cliff from afar, and the fifth girl, who had just straightened her robe and had two ponytails on her head, ran over with a bunch of grapes, pulled one down and handed it to Li Congjing.

Li Congjing smiled and said with grapes in his mouth: "Although Fu Jian's army is numerous, the composition is too complicated, and there are not many people in the army who really have the same heart as him." Moreover, at that time, the north had been war-torn for a long time, and the army and the people were at peace, so the soldiers were reluctant to go out and had many resistance to the war. Not to mention whether Fu Jian himself is good at commanding nearly a million troops to fight, it is obvious that he is too big in battle. His army was already lined up on the riverbank, and when the 8,000 elite Jin army crossed the river, he asked him to give up a piece of the battlefield, and he really gave in. After the Jin army crossed the river, they attacked more than once the Qin army retreated, and shouted that Fu Jian's army was defeated, and all the Qin army units rushed to retreat, and the soldiers shouted that Fu Jian was killed, and the Qin army was defeated. 800,000 people, once the rout, how to clean up the scene? Fu Jian's defeat is actually not wronged. ”

Commanding an army of 800,000 to fight, technical work, except for the very few soldiers in the front, the people behind don't know what is happening in front of them, once the whole army is shouting that our army is defeated, everyone flee, it is not uncommon to trample on each other for a thousand miles.

After Li Congjing finished speaking, the fifth girl hurriedly stuffed several grapes into his mouth, and at the same time did not forget to stuff her small mouth to the full, and then the two stared at each other and chewed hard together.

The fifth girl was probably amused by Li Congjing's appearance, and her eyes narrowed into moon buds. Then one accidentally laughed too hard, choked himself, and hurriedly ran away.

Li Congjing stood up on the boulder, "The soldiers are not expensive, and the reason is very simple. Today, I Li Congjing led the Tang Dynasty 100,000 elite armor to this point, the strategists are wise, the generals are brave, and the soldiers dare to fight. Yang and Wu fought on two fronts, the east and the west were lost, and the country itself was small and narrow and the people were outnumbered, how could it compete with my Tang Dynasty? ”

These words were intended to motivate and boost morale, and when he finished speaking, everyone bowed their heads and praised him.

In fact, today's climb to the top of Bagong Mountain, but also to take everyone to enjoy the scenery of Huaidi, the so-called climb high and look far away is broad-minded, ambitious, which is good for the future.

In other words, today can trample on the Bagong Mountain, the aspirant will be born, and the spirit of stepping on Jinling in the future can be expected, and the great achievement is in sight.

It's just that at this time, when everyone was in high spirits, an untimely sneer suddenly sounded next to him, which was extremely harsh.

Li Congjing didn't need to look at it to know that it was Lin Anxin who was doing trouble.

Li Congjing brought Lin Anxin with him, naturally he had his intentions, and now he followed the prestige, and saw Lin Anxin standing alone under a tree, and happened to look at him, needless to say, she was waiting for Li Congjing to pick up her stubble.

Everyone around her was an enemy opponent, and at this time, Lin Anxin still dared to speak, Li Congjing admired her courage, so he asked with a smile: "Lin Sishou has something to say?" ”

Lin Anxin said coldly: "It's true that my Dawu is fighting on two fronts, but why aren't you Li Tang?" ”

Li Congjing replied: "The two-front battle of the Wu State is to deal with the Chu State and the Tang Dynasty at the same time. And although the Tang Dynasty is also fighting in the east and west, it is flowering on both sides, and there is more help from the Chu State, the two are in a heavenly and underground situation, and they are not the same, how can they be confused? ”

Lin Anxin was not convinced, and said stiffly: "My Dawu has been operating the Jianghuai defense line for decades, and the foundation is solid, now you attack and defend me, Dawu naturally has the advantage, and your Tang army can only fight with 50,000 people, if you want to break my Jianghuai defense line, it is a fool's dream!" ”

Li Congjing said in surprise: "I didn't expect that Lin Sitou still knew about the military, it's really amazing." It's very rare that you can have such an insight. ”

Lin Anxin snorted coldly, which means that the old lady can do it, "So I advise you, if you are interested, go back obediently, don't ask for hardship!" ”

Li Congjing smiled, and then said, "If you don't enter the door, is it a man's demeanor?" ”

His words were a bit rogue, and Lin An's face suddenly couldn't hold back. Without waiting for Lin Anxin to say anything more, Li Congjing continued: "I won't hide it from you. The Jianghuai defense line is strong, not only Yang Wu knows, but I also know it. But it is obvious that this time Datang marched into Jianghuai, Yang Wu did not know. Not only did he not know it, but he was also deeply trapped in the battlefield of Chudi. ”

After a pause, Li Congjing said: "Since the Jianghuai defense line is so strong, if I don't take advantage of this opportunity, when will I wait?" ”
