Chapter 6 Gu Zang
Guzang is the center of Liangzhou and a military town, and the main force of the Western Army of the Great Jin Dynasty is stationed near here. Guzang is also the center of commercial exchanges between the Great Jin Dynasty and the Western Regions, and most of the caravans that go to the Western Regions are here to sell or buy the goods they need, and the trading market in the east of the city is the largest market in the entire Liangzhou and Qinzhou, where there is almost everything.
The geographical location of Guzang is also very suitable for such a center, the Huaxi River outside the city surrounds the city, the Quling Mountain in the south of the city is lush and green, Zhong Ling is handsome, fascinating, the Huaxi River and the Quling Mountain are like two doors, clamping the Western Regions trade road, and Guzang is just blocked in the middle of this trade road, once the city gate is closed, it closes the passage of the various ethnic groups in the grassland outside the Saiwai to the Western Capital.
Due to the special geographical location, Guzang's security has always been strict, especially since General Qiuyun took charge of Liangzhou, more attention has been paid to security, every hour to open the door, close the door at the hour, the patrol team will patrol the streets every day after nightfall.
Out of the canyon, as Liu Han expected, there was no trouble along the way, the caravan followed behind the black panther, although Qiu Ge knew, but did not care, Liu Han was also very good at doing, within a day or two in the name of visiting, gave the team some meat and vegetables, this move was very popular with the soldiers, so it didn't take two days to win the favor of the soldiers, if it weren't for General Qiuyun's strict military orders, no alcohol was allowed in the army, Liu Han would also send spirits.
But Qiu Ge despised this even more, Liu Han's purpose was very clear, almost undisguised, Qiu Ge didn't take it seriously at all, as long as you can keep up, I naturally won't drive you away, I can't be so low-minded at all, why do you want to do this. This is going to change people and change caravans, Qiu Ge is afraid that he will drive him away, at least he must be forbidden to step into the barracks, but Liu Han just made it impossible for him to open this mouth, on the contrary, it attracted his attention more and more.
Liu Han has been in the Western Regions for more than ten years, and the Hanhai caravans are all over the countries in the Western Regions, and he knows the situation in the Western Regions well, the customs and customs of the countries in the Western Regions, the geographical environment, the domestic situation of each country, the relationship between countries, and the internal situation of the surrounding tribes.
Since the rebellion of the Xianbei people more than 30 years ago, there have been no imperial envoys in the Western Regions to the Western Regions, and most of the understanding of the Western Regions is obtained from these merchants, while most of the merchants pay more attention to business interests and have little understanding of politics and military, and the news obtained by the imperial court is also chaotic and even contradictory.
"I believe that the situation in the Western Regions will change greatly in the next three to five years, and the rest of the great powers in the extreme west is not the disaster of the Western Regions, although the rest is strong, but there are also big countries in the west of the rest, and the two countries have been fighting for a while, and the rest cannot advance eastward.
The real disaster of the Western Regions is still in Xianbei, since the tree function was destroyed, the northern Xianbei retreated to the north of the desert, after more than ten years of recuperation, has gradually recovered its vitality, it is said that the grandson of the tree function, split the wind, this son is resourceful, brave and good at fighting, the year before last to destroy the extreme north of Ding Ling, last year to destroy the Qiang people, the tentacles have stretched to the countries of the Western Regions,.。
He knew that he was unable to confront my Great Jin, so he first made friends with my Great Jin Dynasty and eased the heart of the imperial court, and he took the opportunity to conquer the Far North and the Western Regions, and fed the war with war, but in Xianbei he performed the technique of combining vertical and horizontal to provoke discord within Xianbei, and then borrowed the power of his grandfather to win people's hearts,.。。 This son is not small. ”
After the defeat of the tree function, the Xianbei people retreated to the desert, but the desert was hard, although the Great Jin Dynasty was unable to enter the desert to pursue, but the outstanding people of the imperial court formulated a strategy of differentiation and disintegration, inducing several Xianbei tribes to go south, forming the southern Xianbei tribe, correspondingly, the Xianbei people who retreated to the desert are called the northern Xianbei. The northern and southern Xianbei fought for several years, and the southern Xianbei gradually gained the upper hand with the support of the imperial court, at this time, the imperial court implemented the weathering policy again, and the northern Xianbei was divided again, and some tribes moved to northern Liaobei, forming the eastern Xianbei.
Eastern Xianbei and Southern Xianbei continued to put pressure on the northern Xianbei with the support of the imperial court, and finally, in the twenty-second year of Zhizheng, the northern Xianbei surrendered to the imperial court and accepted the imperial edict, however, the imperial court was still vigilant against the northern Xianbei.
In contrast, Liu Han's news seemed systematic, which made Qiu Ge feel refreshed, the two chatted along the way, and when they were camping and resting, Liu Han also chatted with the officers and soldiers in the Black Panther, and there were many martial arts lovers in the Black Panther Army.
At first, Qiu Ge didn't notice that only Liu Han came to the army in the caravan, and after the rest of the caravan camped, they all stayed quietly in the camp, everything was in order, and the attendants in the army quietly told him that the caravan camp was camped according to the method of six flowers, and the six flower camp was created by Zhao Mu, the founder of this dynasty.
However, the method of camping with six flowers is the law of the army, this Liu Han is just a businessman, how does he know the method of camping with six flowers? Moreover, with the manpower of the caravan, how to discharge the method of six flowers, Qiu Ge was suspicious and curious, he specially went to the caravan to see, and only after reading it did he understand.
Liuhua camped, according to the front and back, left and right, Liu Han skillfully used the terrain to shrink the camp, and the dart master and the caravan guys performed their duties to form a miniature version of the Liuhua camp, although the camp was small, but the effect was stronger.
Qiu Ge had doubts in his heart and tested Liu Han, but Liu Han told him that the law of six flowers had already been spread, and "Taizu Answer" was sold in all countries in the Western Regions, and "Taizu Answer" was a military book, which recorded Zhao Mu's way of using troops in the form of a dialogue, including marching, terrain, camping, logistics, etc.
"It's been hundreds of years, and no matter how big a secret is, you can't keep it, let alone a book. Liu Han explained with a smile.
Qiu Ge couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, all the tribes in the grassland are already good at riding and shooting, and their individual combat ability is stronger than that of the Great Jin.
"General Qiu Shao is too worried, I have a large land and many people, and I am rich in the world, if there are no internal worries, there will be no external troubles. Liu Han shook his head disappreciatively.
Qiu Ge pondered for a few days and suddenly became enlightened. The Central Plains is rich in the world, with a large population, throughout history, every time the Central Plains is in civil strife, the foreign races outside the Central Plains have the opportunity to invade the Central Plains, if the Central Plains is politically clear, the country is stable, and the foreign races outside the Central Plains are all subjugated, so the danger of the Great Jin is not outside.
After thinking about it, Qiu Ge's perception of Liu Han suddenly changed, and he began to deliberately associate with him, and along the way, the two were almost inseparable.
Outside Guzang City, Qiu Ge said goodbye to Liu Han. Guzang is an important military town, the army is stationed in a large number, General Qiu is very strict with the army, strictly prohibiting soldiers from entering the city without reason, all the troops are stationed in the large camp outside the city, and there are only a few black panthers patrolling in the city. All the troops who went out, the first thing they did when they returned to Guzang was to hand over the order to the camp, and those who violated the order were whipped and beheaded in the worst case, even Qiu Ge was no exception.
Qiu Ge led his troops to the camp to hand over the order, Liu Han breathed a sigh of relief, and Qiu Ge was deliberately interacted with, although the ultimate goal of this trip was the imperial capital, but Qiu Yun held a heavy army, shocked the west, and befriended his son, which may be helpful in the future.
