Chapter 153 Lao Fuying (2)

Since the Shangjun reform, Lao Qin's national strength has become increasingly stronger.

In addition to focusing on the East and South that are concerned with traditional management, we have also begun to explore the West and North. Although the county seat of Beidi County is located in Yiqu (now Qingyang, Gansu Province), its jurisdiction covers the plain areas south of the Dahe River.

In later documents, records of Lao Qin in the Xiushui River north of Yiqu cannot be found.

But the Qin people did build a canal here called the North East Canal. Because it was dug by the Qin people, it was also called the Qin Canal.

Fuping is located on the bank of Qinqu.

To the east of the river and south of the Helan Mountains, the population is not large, and it is a county town with less than 10,000 people. Logically speaking, such a small place is definitely not a county. But hesitated that it is the northernmost city of Lao Qin and has the function of a storefront, so he made an exception to establish a county here.

However, Fuping is not real.

Wealth and peace have nothing to do with this small county town.

The land here is fertile and the resources are abundant. But at the same time, it is troubled by the Huns. The small county town is often attacked by the Huns.

It has entered mid-spring, but the wind is getting stronger and stronger.

Liu Kan had to cover her windshield on her face, sit on the horse, carefully observe the map made of bison leather in her hand, and frowned.

"Cheng Sima, where are we now?"

Li Cheng quickly rode his horse to follow, twisted a corner of the map, looked at it with his head, and then pointed it with his hand.

"It should be here, Zhongning River Valley. Go west, you should be able to see the big river, and then go around the river beside the north, which is Fuping.

If you don’t rest tonight and rush around overnight, you will see Fuping’s wall before tomorrow.”

Liu Kan put away the map and turned his head to look at the baggage vehicles following behind him. The baggage escorted to Fuping this time was a total of 1,000 stones of food and grass, and some weapons. There was a border guard of the Qin army stationed there, with about four or five hundred people, responsible for defending against the attacks of the Huns.

The big crow of the old camp is flies in the wind.

The soldiers were tortured by this annoying wind.

Liu Kan pondered for a moment, "Mengjian!"

"Here!"

A war horse flew out from the accompanying personal army. The man on this horse was Mengji who was incorporated into Liu Kan's troops after the failed competition.

"Lead a team to explore the way and see if there are any sheltering places in front of you, and give it back quickly."

As a soldier, you must have the awareness of being a soldier. After experiencing Liu Kan's methods, Meng Ji is now honestly serving under Liu Kan. According to Meng Tian, ​​Meng Ji must start with a light soldier. But Liu Kan feels that it is a pity to be a light soldier.

It is undeniable that Mengji's riding skills are not inferior to Guanying in the Laofu camp, and he can rank in the top three.

With such superb riding and archery skills and those who can fight on horseback should be entrusted with important tasks. So Liu Kan ran to Zhao Ping and asked for twenty war horses and assigned them to Meng Ji. He ordered him to form a scout team, which was specifically responsible for inquiring about the enemy situation. Meng Ji did a good job.

Today, there are 700 people in Laofu Camp.

Among them, there were two groups of chariots and soldiers, and there were 170 cavalrymen, and the rest were all turned into infantrymen. Among them were 200 light soldiers and 200 crossbowmen. At the same time, Liu Kan designed a combat formation when the team was marching, similar to the later marching column, called the matchmaking formation.

This matchmaking originated from the formations of the Taiping Army during the war in the late Qing Dynasty.

The so-called matchmaking means that there are two Sima holding the flag, followed by twenty-five people, one hundred people holding the long flag, and five hundred people holding the flag, and so on. Liu Kan has not many people, so it is replaced by a long flag with a hundred people on all sides, one team is connected to one team. When the road is wide, two people walk in a narrow road, and one single road is walking in a row, and one line is advancing in a row. Once a battle occurs, the head and tail are connected in a circle, gathering in an instant, forming a circular formation.

There are shield and spearmen outside, and crossbowmen inside.

The chariots and cavalry can enter the battle in an instant through two cover attacks.

If the war is not good, retreat immediately, and still hold the formation and move forward quickly. The enemy often cannot catch up. Even if it catches up, he dare not order an attack easily. If the formation is not chaotic and attacks by itself, it will not be worth the loss, and even suffer heavy losses.

When he was in Yongzhengyuan, Liu Kan attached great importance to this formation and queue.

In addition, most of his subordinates are veterans who have been through the battlefield. You only need to mention a little bit to understand Liu Kan’s intentions.

As he ran all the way, the formation of this matchmaking formation has become more and more perfect. Even people like Li Cheng Mengji who are familiar with military tactics could not help but admire it. This time, Mengji was really convinced... Liu Kan is really capable, both civil and military, no wonder his father could value it. His dissatisfaction with Liu Kan had disappeared earlier, and he even thought it was a good thing to be able to serve in Lao Kuang.

Meng Ji led the scouts forward fifteen miles and found a valley in the river bend.

The terrain is high and the view is wide. The most important thing is to avoid strong winds and is a good place to rest.

Liu Kan immediately ordered the convoy to speed up the speed of traveling and take shelter in the river valley. The wind was too strong, and it took several times more effort to walk under the wind than usual. Instead of doing this, it would be better for everyone to rest and wait for the wind to become smaller before setting out to move forward.

The Qin army entered the valley in an orderly manner, and they should be alert and cooked.

Liu Kan climbed up to the high place in the valley and looked into the distance.

From here, you can see the big river rolling eastward. The big river at this time is far less turbid than the Yellow River seen in later generations.

The water is very clear and rolls and roars.

Crossing the Yellow River, Helan Mountain...

At the southeast end of Helan Mountain, there is a bronze-colored chivalrous mantra against the blue sky and river water. In later generations, it was called Qingtong Gorge.

According to legend, when King Dayu was controlling the flood, he split the Helan Mountain and led the Yellow River to the north.

Liu Kan stood on the high ground and could vaguely see the shadow of Qingtong Gorge. For some reason, she felt extremely emotional in her heart and said nothing for a long time.

"Why is Kurarara speechless?"

Chen Daozi walked over and stood behind Liu Kan to ask.

"Daozi, are these mountains and rivers magnificent?"

Liu Kan said something blindly, then looked at the river silently, and stopped talking.

Chen Daozi whispered: "Is Cang Ling worried about the war between the General and the Huns this time?"

Liu Kan smiled and shook her head, "The General will definitely win, there is no doubt about this... I just suddenly remembered something... Maybe it's ridiculous and weird to you."

"Maybe it's not ridiculous?" Chen Daozi tilted his head and looked at Liu Kan and said.

Liu Kan was stunned and turned his head to look at Chen Daozi.

"I laugh at the six countries, all short-sighted people."

Liu Kan narrowed her eyes, "Today I will open up here to expand my territory, but in the future... I am afraid that this land will raise a wolve."

"The Wolf?"

Liu Kan's words tasted a bit wild.

Even though he was as smart as Chen Daozi, he could not understand what he meant for a while.

"Haha, you will naturally understand in the future."

Liu Kan seemed not to want to explain anything about this issue, and walked quietly down the hill, led the horse, and strolled on the edge of the valley.

The wind is strong, and the wormwood sways.

The whole world seemed to have been twisted in the wind, making Liu Kan's back look particularly lonely.

"Brother Daozi, what's wrong with Brother Kan?"

Lu Shizhi came to Chen Daozi with a big cake.

Chen Daozi's eyes narrowed into a line, and he whispered: "Maybe there are too many unknown secrets buried in Cang Ling's heart."

"secret?"

Lu Shizhi took a bite of the pancake hard, "Sometimes I think Brother Kan is very strange... Well, he was not like this before, but since that incident, he became a little weird. Sometimes, I think Brother Kan is actually scared."

Chen Daozi was stunned, "What happened? What happened?"

"Well, this is a long way to go..."

Chen Daozi was not very clear about Liu Kan's past. When he came to Liu Kan, Liu Kan had already made a fortune. At that time, Chen Daozi arrived in Pei County as a helper, so he did not ask about Liu Kan's past too much. After arriving in Lou Cang, Liu Kan's identity and status were constantly changing. People who knew about his past became increasingly rare, and no one would talk about it casually.

Chen Daozi hugged Lu Shizhi's shoulder, "Little Pig, tell me?"

Rest in the river and bay valley for two hours.

After noon, the wind gradually became weaker, and Liu Kan ordered the departure.

The wheels of the car were creaking, and the soldiers after the rest were full of energy and moved very quickly.

After nightfall, Liu Kanming was scrambled to explore the way forward.

At the same time, Guan Ying led the cavalry to scatter and warned the surroundings. Ren Ao led two groups of chariots to support the rear army.

Fan Kuai and Tutu each led two teams of 100 people, marching in two rows, protecting the food and grass of the central army. At this time, the wind had completely stopped.

A bright moon hanging in the sky, the milky white light makes people feel particularly peaceful.

Along the way, everyone's speed was very fast, at least three times higher than the speed of traveling when the wind and sand were storms during the day.

Li Cheng said: "At this speed, we can probably arrive in Fuping before the ugly time."

"Very good!"

Liu Kan pulled off the windshield and breathed a sigh of relief, "I ordered the three armies to speed up again. After arriving in Fuping, everyone will have a good rest."

Shao Ping immediately took the order and left, and the marching speed of Lao Fu Camp increased again.

The luminous light shines everywhere.

A group of people were walking along the river on the stars and moon. At about midnight, they could see Fuping County.

"Mr. Jun, look!"

Lu Shizhi came to Liu Kan with his horse, and pointed his finger in front of him and shouted in surprise: "There seems to be a fire on Fuping..."

Liu Kan looked up and looked at it intently, and couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw a faint light of fire soaring into the sky directly in front of me. With the faint sound of tearing and killing, the crying came, which made Liu Kandun feel alert.

At this time, Meng Ji led the scouts to come and stopped in front of Liu Kanma.

"Military Marquis, Fuping was attacked, and the Huns are attacking Fuping!"

Ha, it was such a coincidence.
Chapter completed!
