Conquer the World
Chapter 10
Do you have a collection
Although fangucheng is only a small border city in the northwest of the great Sui Dynasty, no more than three and a half miles long and no more than three and a half miles wide, you can see the edge at a glance, there is no doubt that this small city is very solid. This is the most outpost in the northwest frontier. Crossing the wolf milk mountain opposite is the territory of the Manchu banner of the Mongolian Yuan Empire.
Beyond the wolf milk mountains, there is an equally strong Nirvana city.
Nirvana is a stone city, solid as a natural mountain.
Fan Gu is not a stone city, but it is better than nirvana. This small town was built under the personal supervision of Yu Wenzhong, the Minister of industry of the great Sui Dynasty at that time. It is said that the construction technology is the same as that of Chang\'an City, the capital of the great Sui Dynasty. When the spies of the Mongol Yuan Empire saw this small town with walls built first and then city bricks piled outside, they even laughed and laughed. Decades later, the Mongol Yuan people knew how childish and ridiculous their original ridicule was.
Solid.
As strong as the hardest diamond.
Seven years after the founding of the great Sui Dynasty, that is, when the last emperor of the great Sui Dynasty was in power, a small-scale but far-reaching war broke out between the Mongolian Yuan Empire and the great Sui Dynasty. That time, 40000 Wolves of the Mongol Yuan Empire rode through the valley of langru mountain and took fan Gu directly. At that time, there were only 800 border troops in fan Gu city. The latest reinforcements were Zuo Yiwei in Jibei County 450 miles away. Most of the Zuoyi guards are heavily armored infantry, and they obviously can\'t catch up in a short time.
In that war, 40000 dismounted wolves rode and bombed fangucheng with hundreds of riprap trucks. Hundreds of catties of boulders transported from langru mountain fell intensively, stripping all the two layers of green bricks wrapped outside the city wall of fangucheng. The border troops on the city wall were suppressed and could not lift their heads. They could only hide behind the wall piers.
At that time, the leader of the Manchu flag of the Mongol Yuan Empire, Manchu wolf, laughed and said, "you don\'t need to attack the city. Just smash it like this, and you can smash and collapse the broken earth city in one day. At that time, it will be easy for the wolf to ride a vertical horse into the city and kill all the people in the city."
Surprisingly, after a day of indiscriminate bombing, fan Gucheng was like a boiled egg. The eggshell was smashed to pieces, revealing the poor protein inside. But no one could imagine that they thought they were fragile and completely wrong. The next scene surprised the Mongolian Yuan Empire and dropped their chin.
The seemingly fragile earth wall stands like a mountain!
Hundreds of kilograms of heavy boulders can only hit a white mark on the wall. After the first day passed, one wall of fangucheng was neatly stripped of green bricks. But the seemingly fragile wall was as solid as a natural rock, and the stone hit it without leaving a crack.
The man Du wolf was so angry that he ordered the riprap truck to continue the attack the next day. It was another whole day when the team carrying stones from langrushan had no supply. Unfortunately, it seems that a gust of wind can blow down the fangucheng city wall is still standing proudly.
The furious man Du wolf ordered to attack the city, and tens of thousands of wolves who got off their horses began to attack. This is the first time since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the men and horses of the Mongolian Yuan Empire attacked the cities of the Han people. The war between the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty and the Mongol Yuan Empire broke the myth of the invincibility of the Mongol Yuan Empire on the plain. So this time, little fan Gu let the soldiers of the Mongolian Yuan Empire know what is indestructible.
The combat power of the wolf riding on the next step is completely different from that of the wolf riding on the horse.
Those wolf soldiers in leather armor rushed forward awkwardly carrying the temporary ladder, and they didn\'t know how to avoid and resist the feather arrows from the city wall. What scares them most is the powerful crossbow installed on the wall. The heavy crossbow with thick and thin legs can tear a strong grassland war horse into two pieces like thunder.
After paying thousands of casualties, the wolf horse finally approached the city wall, and then clumsily erected the ladder and climbed up clumsily. They drove the horses like arms and fingers, but this battle was undoubtedly a nightmare for them. Wolf riding, which has been comfortable for too many years, has long forgotten that our ancestors were invincible in the Central Plains.
Six days, from the beginning to the end of the war. Mandu wolf left more than 4000 corpses outside fan Gu city and withdrew in a panic. He would beat his chest and curse in the direction of fan Gu every time he mentioned this war for the rest of his life. The reason why they withdrew was that the elite soldiers of Zuo Yiwei of the great Sui Dynasty finally arrived hundreds of miles away.
This war made fangucheng a famous place in the world.
This war made the world know that the city of the great Sui Dynasty was indestructible.
This war also made Li Luan, the then great general of Zuo Yiwei, famous all over the world. The reason is very simple. At that time, it was only Li Luan and his 900 Pro guard cavalry battalion who rushed to fangucheng to rescue the border army. With nine hundred cavalry and thousands of banners, Li Luan scared the man Du wolf with tens of thousands of people and horses back to the west of the wolf milk mountain, and dared not turn back all the way.
Most of Zuo Yiwei is heavily armored infantry, so it is impossible to arrive in time. Li Luan had no other way but to pretend to be a hundred thousand troops. Speaking of this, it was also the helplessness of the frontier army of the great Sui Dynasty. Zuo Yiwei had 50000 troops, but only 900 cavalry came together. It can be seen from the lack of war horses in the great Sui Dynasty.
After the war, Emperor Yang Yun of Jianye of the Sui Dynasty announced that fan Gucheng\'s border army would be promoted to school captain, and each person would be rewarded with 30 mu of Xun field without paying taxes to the government. Fangucheng residents do not have to pay taxes for ten years, and they allocate 50000 liang of silver from the Ministry of household to repair people\'s houses and reward loyalty and courage.
Li Luan, a general of Zuo Yiwei, was promoted from county Duke to national Duke, and kaifuyi was the same as the three divisions.
In that war, a young man around Li Luan never left. Even if he knew that he might be besieged by tens of thousands of elite riders of the Mongolian Yuan Empire, he still didn\'t escape in his teens. The young man was Li Luan\'s eldest son. Later, he inherited his identity as a Duke of the Tang Dynasty. Now he is also Li Yuanshan, a general of youxiaowei, who is also a barrier in the northwest of the Sui Dynasty.
You Xiaowei is also stationed in Jibei County, but he doesn\'t rule Jibei city in Jibei county.
Youxiaowei has 50000 elite soldiers stationed in Woxian mountain 60 miles away from Jibei city.
……
……
"It\'s very kind of you, Mr. Tang. I\'m working in the imperial capital for the first time. Please forgive me for any thoughtlessness. You know, if the people below didn\'t annoy your majesty, how could your majesty let the adults of Dali temple and the Ministry of war go out of Beijing to conduct a thorough investigation? I came to see you all the way. We also know that the border army brothers work hard, so I just walk around. Mr. Tang can rest assured It\'s too late. "
The eunuch who spoke was a eunuch in light blue official clothes from six grades. He was in his thirties. His face was covered with a thick layer of white powder. However, his lips didn\'t know what to use to describe it. It looked disgusting. Although the eunuch is only from the sixth grade, you should know... Once the eunuch has a grade, it can only show that he is a favorite in the palace.
The eunuch\'s official clothes are different from those of other officials. They are blue. The higher the grade, the darker the color. And there is no patch on the chest, and you can\'t wear a beam crown. The people in the bodyguard\'s office are wearing flying fish clothes, and the tonic on the chest is a strange beast recorded in the book of mountains and seas. Flying fish, Chang Zhang Xu, dragon head, cicada wing, fish tail.
This eunuch is Wu Peisheng, the eunuch who holds a pen in the imperial study. He is really a popular figure in the palace. This time, according to the will of emperor Yang Yi of the great Sui Dynasty, he inspected Hebei, Hexi, Shanbei and Shandong together with officials of Dali temple and the Ministry of war. Jibei county belongs to Shandong Road and is also the last stop of this inspection.
When he arrived in Jibei County, his first thing was not to go to the city, but to visit Li Yuanshan in Woxian mountain first. As a eunuch holding a pen in the imperial study, he naturally knows the weight of the right Xiaowei general in his Majesty\'s heart. That\'s why he said the kind words just now. Along the way, except in front of the governors, he was humble and polite, even in front of the prefects of zhengsanpin.
"What did Duke Wu say?"
Li Yuanshan is thirty-three years old, which is the age of a man\'s calm and mature. He is a medium-sized man, about 1.7 meters. He is not tall. Compared with the fierce general in the army, he has a little less vigorous breath, and he seems too thin. Especially compared with the right Xiaowei seven tigers behind him, it is more ordinary. The seven tiger generals are all tough people.
Because he wanted to accept the order, he specially put on the official uniform of the first grade and wore a beam crown. The imperial dress is dark purple, and a unicorn is embroidered on the chest. There are eight beams on the crown of the Duke of the state, which are the same as the specifications of princes and princes. This is the highest number of ministers, because not everyone can use nine. For a grade one official, there are seven beams on the beam crown, two grade six beams, to five grade three beams, and the beam crown shall not be worn below five grades.
The clothes of generals and civil servants in the Sui Dynasty were also different, and the biggest difference was the patch on the front chest of the official clothes. Generals are beasts and civil servants are birds. The first to fourth grades are purple robes, the fifth to seventh grades are green robes, and the eighth to ninth grades are green robes. Since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, there have been no military generals of the first grade. The top generals of the 16th guard are all of the third grade. In more than 100 years, there has been no military general of more than the third grade.
But the Duke of the kingdom is a genuine product, so Li Yuan wears an eight beam crown, a purple robe and a kylin embroidered with a patch on his chest. The second grade generals paint lions and the third grade tigers.
Civil servants are the first grade and purple official clothes. They have seven beam crowns and a crane embroidered with a breast patch. The second grade is a golden rooster and the third grade is a peacock.
Li Yuanshan is the Duke of the state, so he can wear an eight beam crown and a imperial dress embroidered with Kirin tonic. This is the rule of the imperial court. You can\'t mess at all. If there is chaos, there is suspicion of plotting rebellion.
As he walked, he looked sideways at Wu Peisheng and said with a smile, "since father-in-law Wu came down for strict investigation according to his Majesty\'s will, he will naturally cooperate. Whether it\'s money, grain, number of people, treasury, ordnance and horses, these accounts will have been prepared. If father-in-law Wu wants to have a look, he will send someone to send them later."
"We admire Tang Gong\'s dedication to his duties."
Wu Peisheng smiled, and the white powder on his face fell down: "since Tang Gong is so serious, if we refuse again, we will inevitably be slack. When your majesty asks, it\'s not easy for us to make a job. However... The matter of checking the accounts is an official of Dali temple and the Ministry of war, so we just follow."
Li Yuanshan looked back, followed by more than a dozen officials of Dali temple and the Ministry of war nodded one after another. His eyes deliberately stayed on the faces of three of them for a while, and the three almost shook at the same time.
"Dali temple has sent more than three law enforcement envoys with broken mirrors this time. I heard... The Ministry of war has also sent a talisman with broken mirrors for many years. Why don\'t you come together?"
"Where did Tang Gong get the news..."
Wu Peisheng smiled and said, "the Ministry of war only sent down five civil servants, all good at mathematics, just to check the accounts. Where are there any broken mirror Fuwen masters? We have a list of officials who came down to inspect this time. If Tang Gong doesn\'t believe it, you can have a look. The Ministry of war has only sent one member wailang, four engaged in it, and there is absolutely no Fuwen master."
He lowered his voice, smiled and said, "Tang Gong doesn\'t know. Master Fu is a treasure."
Li Yuanshan was a little stunned, and then smiled: "indeed, there are not many fu masters with broken mirrors in the Sui army. If you check the accounts and send a fu master down, the Fu Master would be too worthless."
Wu Peisheng laughed and didn\'t know why he was so happy.
"Please!"
Li Yuanshan made a gesture.
"The original name of Woxian mountain was Woxian mountain. After the founding of the Sui Dynasty, we opened up territory and territory year after year. In the 12th year of Guangwu of the Sui Dynasty, we laid down this land. At that time, the first emperor was very unhappy to hear that the mountain was called Woxian mountain. So it was changed to Woxian mountain. The first emperor said... There should be no Buddha in the Sui Dynasty."
Although fangucheng is only a small border city in the northwest of the great Sui Dynasty, no more than three and a half miles long and no more than three and a half miles wide, you can see the edge at a glance, there is no doubt that this small city is very solid. This is the most outpost in the northwest frontier. Crossing the wolf milk mountain opposite is the territory of the Manchu banner of the Mongolian Yuan Empire.
Beyond the wolf milk mountains, there is an equally strong Nirvana city.

Wolf riding, which has been comfortable for too many years, has long forgotten that our ancestors were invincible in the Central Plains.
Six days, from the beginning to the end of the war. Mandu wolf left more than 4000 corpses outside fan Gu city and withdrew in a panic. He would beat his chest and curse in the direction of fan Gu every time he mentioned this war for the rest of his life. The reason why they withdrew was that the elite soldiers of Zuo Yiwei of the great Sui Dynasty finally arrived hundreds of miles away.

Youxiaowei has 50000 elite soldiers stationed in Woxian mountain 60 miles away from Jibei city.
