Chapter 8 The Spirit of Yumen
When Huo Gang led them to the Yumen Pass, the east gate of Yumen Pass was barely intact, but a large area of the city walls on both sides of the city gate collapsed. Under the city gate, Huo Gang stopped himself. He raised his head and looked at the mottled Yumen Pass on his head. His mood was very complicated.
He did not expect that a soul from modern times would need to take more than a thousand people to survive in the broken Yumen Pass. He once visited Yumen Pass in later generations, but at that time, there was only one wreckage of the Yumen Pass in the Han Dynasty.
Now it can barely maintain the integrity of the entire Guancheng. Judging from the wreckage, the surrounding city walls are one thousand meters square, but only the city walls and gates in the west and south are still intact. Most of the east and north sides have collapsed, and the original buildings in the Guancheng have become a ruin.
Just as Huo Gang was in deep thought, the Han sword on his waist that came from modern times with him suddenly made a "buzzing" sound. Then the long sword was bright and golden, and the long sword hanging around Huo Gang's waist was automatically unsheathed, and it suddenly soared into the sky with a light golden dragon shape.
At the same time, the mechanical and crisp sound in Huo Gang's mind sounded again: "It was detected that the target had arrived at Yumen Pass, the spirit of Yumen was completely activated, and the Lingquan function was activated. 100 spiritual spring water were automatically generated every day. The consumption of spring water can clear and change the water veins of the territory to which it belongs to, and change the climate within the territory under its rule to the greatest extent within the allowable climate, so that the territory to belong to make the weather smooth and rainy."
"After detecting the target was recognized by 1,048 people under his rule, the elite cavalry of the Han Dynasty, Baima Yiqie, is rewarded with 1,000 cavalry, and can be collected at any time! After receiving it, the cavalry will arrive at the battlefield in 10 minutes."
After the mechanical voice was finished, it disappeared, but Huo Gang's mind at this moment, a miniature of the narrowing of Yumen Pass appeared in his mind, just like a three-dimensional modeling perspective view from later generations. Under this three-dimensional perspective view, Huo Gang could even see the water vein diagram marked by blue of varying shades.
And in the lower right corner of this phantom, a mouthful of spring water appeared there, which should be the so-called spiritual spring function.
Others could not see or hear everything in Huo Gang's mind, but they looked at the golden dragon-shaped shadow that soared into the sky with great shock, and the long sword that was floating in front of Huo Gang at this moment.
Their general just said that it was the sword of their ancestor General of the Han cavalry and champion Hou Huo Qubing!
Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of him. If Huo Gang hadn't allowed them to kneel down, everyone would have kneeled down at this moment.
But even so, some people in the crowd were so scared that they fell to their knees. In their opinion, this was definitely the appearance of God! Our general, indeed... no, he must be the champion Hou descending to the earth!
However, those who were so scared that they knelt on the ground were immediately helped up by the people next to them.
As they were gaze, Huo Gang paused silently, then stretched out his right hand and held the hilt of the long sword floating in front of him. The faint golden light on the long sword disappeared instantly, turning into a long sword that looked ordinary.
Huo Gang turned his head and looked at everyone behind him. He could see their eyes, and at this moment he was filled with hope, awe, and excitement!
If that's the case, let them be more excited!
Huo Gang smiled slightly, and then said lightly: "I, Huo Gang, said I, take you to live in this Western Region, but speaking cannot make people fill your stomach. Now, I will give you a reason and a hope!"
After saying that, Huo Gang pointed the sword in his hand directly to the north. Everyone looked in the direction of Huo Gang's sword. There was an oasis on the north side of Yumen Pass. When Yumen Pass was established, there was a source of water here.
In the Han Dynasty, Guancheng was established in the Western Regions, and there were two ways of defense. One was to use the Great Wall building as the defense, and the other was to control the water defense.
The so-called water control defense means establishing a city in the largest nearby water source and controlling a water source of hundreds of miles, because in this Gobi Desert in the Western Regions, water sources must be available to survive.
Yangguan, located less than a hundred miles south of Yumen Pass, uses the Great Wall as a defensive means to cooperate with natural dangers to block the enemy. However, in Yumen Pass north of Yangguan, it will show a horn with Yangguan and cooperate with each other to defend. There is a Han Dynasty Great Wall connected to the west between the two passes.
And Yumen Pass is water control and defense.
There are underground waterways in Yumen Pass, but with the changes in history, the underground waterways here have begun to dry up. At this moment, there is only this small oasis on the north side of Yumen Pass.
However, Huo Gang saw from the Spirit of Yumen that the reason why the oasis water here was gone was because the underground water channel was blocked!
You should know that there were several oasis from Yangguan to Yumenguan in later generations. The area of these oasis is no less than the area of a small town. There is no problem with the farmed land to support tens of thousands of people. This is also the reason why Huo Cong, who left Yumenguan in the Tang Dynasty, decisively chose this place.
Now, when Huo Gang pointed his sword over, he directly chose to clear the underground waterway from the Spirit of the Jade Gate. With Huo Gang's instructions, the spring water in the Spirit of the Jade Gate instantly decreased by two-thirds!
But the area that represents the weak connection between the ground water veins and the ground is instantly connected!
With a loud "Boom!", the entire ground trembled violently. Then everyone saw that in the oasis with only a small piece of land in the north, a column of water suddenly soared into the sky. The thick column of water spurted at least ten meters high with mud and sand, and then it fell down everywhere.
Although the water column no longer ejected after it fell, the water source in the oasis on the north began to rise wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The crowd was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst out with an unprecedented cheer! Everyone understood what it means to have water in this Western Region!
Everyone jumped up cheering and laughing, and they all cried bitterly again, including Wu Ping, who was in front of the crowd, was crying in tears at this moment. If Huo Gang hadn't allowed to kneel down, Wu Ping would really want to kneel on the ground and cry bitterly. God, you finally opened your eyes!
Huo Gang looked at them with a smile. Huo Gang felt the benefit of this era for the first time, that is, no matter how difficult these things are, as long as he doesn't want to explain, he can ignore them!
Just let them think about the rest of the things themselves!
"Wu Ping." Huo Gang stopped their cheers and spoke loudly.
