Mangdangshan is thousands of miles from east to west and 70 miles from the narrowest place in the north and south. When Emperor Taizong ordered to open mountains and build roads, the personnel of the Ministry of work sent people to walk in Mangdangshan for a year before selecting this place. Although it is not the narrowest place here, the mountain is the slowest, and there is a broken gorge that can be used, saving a lot of manpower.

Even so, it took 200000 migrant workers so long to open the mountain road. In order to commemorate the opening of this mountain road, officials of the Ministry of work built a mountain opening platform at the foot of the mountain with stones and trees picked down during the opening of the mountain. The platform has a radius of one Li and is built of large stones. The platform is flat and broad, and there is also a mountain viewing hall.

The bricks and stones picked from the mountain were used to build kaishantai. This once provoked the people who came to the censor's platform to impeach for a while, but Emperor Taizong didn't care about it at that time. When the army entered the south of the Yangtze River, he once went to Mangdangshan mountain and climbed the kaishantai, where he looked at the magnificent scene of the army driving across the mountain.

General Li Xiao led his troops through Mangdang Mountain, boarded the Pang warship on the Bank of the Yangtze River, and defeated the navy of the Southern Dynasty, which was known as the most powerful in the world. Then the army crossed the natural graben and set foot on the land in the south of the Yangtze River. Later, the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were like boiling soup and snow, and did not have the strength to fight back the troops of the Southern Dynasty.

When the motorcade passed kaishantai, Fang Xie couldn't help stopping.

Although he had seen it far away once yesterday, he glanced at it in a hurry and didn't look at it carefully at all. Today, standing under the mountain opening platform and looking up, I really feel the vastness of the original project. It's not easy to build a huge platform that is almost a mile long and three meters high.

Looking up at this high platform, Fang Xie couldn't help imagining the picture of 200000 people opening the mountain in that year. From Mount Mangdang to here, there is a group of civilian men as dense as ants moving. Relying on their arms and shoulders, they forcibly dug out a piece of the mountain, and then moved to the foot of the mountain to build the high platform.

More than 100 years later, the broad mountain opening platform has been mottled, the platform is covered with green grass, and even a few trees are very strong. Fang Xie walked slowly up the stone steps to the high platform, stood on one side of the high platform and looked at the towering mountains not far away.

Perhaps, Emperor Taizong was standing here and watching his soldiers pass through the mountains with an unstoppable momentum and wash away the south of the Yangtze River.

Compared with the mountain, this platform looks very low, but standing on the mountain opening platform, I suddenly feel that the world is in my hands. This feeling makes people feel very excited, and even have an impulse to shout.

That is, at this moment, Fang Xie suddenly found that he liked this feeling very much.

In front of him, it seems that there are teams of soldiers marching forward with high heads. He saw the endless team, the battle flag swept by the clouds, the long horse like an iron jungle, and the extremely strong chariot although slightly bulky. In a trance, he even saw a very special team in the magnificent army. Wearing heavy armor and armed with swords, they guarded a huge chariot pulled by ninety-nine war horses. On the wide and luxurious seat on the chariot sat a man in gold armor.

That man, I don't know why he looks so familiar.

He saw the pride on the faces of all the soldiers, and their eyes were firm and fierce. Along this mountain path, the long dragon like team passed through Mangdang Mountain and went north.

northward?

Fang Xie was stunned and subconsciously rubbed his eyes.

There is no endless army, no forest like flag, and no chariot pulled by 99 horses. Naturally, there is no gold armor general. The mountain path is still empty and there is nothing. It turned out that the boundless black armor army and the powerful marching drums were all imagined by themselves.

Huai Qiugong, who was helped up to the high platform, happened to see his surprised expression. He couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm feeling the grandeur of building the high platform in those days?"

Fang Xie smiled and covered up his doubts and confusion.

"Yes... Only in the great Sui Dynasty could there be such a miraculous project. Standing here, I couldn't help thinking about the scene of sending troops to the south of the Yangtze River. Hundreds of thousands of troops marched forward through mountains and natural grabens, sweeping the south of the Yangtze River."

Huaiqiu nodded and said, "when I went to Beijing for the exam, I was shocked when I saw the mountain road and the high platform for the first time. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, no one would believe that it was developed by manpower. From this mountain cultivation, we can see the determination and courage of Emperor Taizong's southern expedition."

"With such determination and courage, the decadent Southern Dynasty had no resistance at all."

He pointed to the direction of the mountain road and said, "in those years, I walked from that road on my own. I was alone and had no companions. I came out of my house a year in advance and broke dozens of pairs of shoes before I came to the imperial capital. Think about it, over the years, I only went back to my hometown twice, one of which was to do things according to orders."

Listening to his emotion, Fang Jie echoed two sentences.

But in his mind, it was still the picture of illusion before.

Whose is the endless army? Who is the golden general sitting on the huge chariot pulled by ninety-nine war horses?

……

……

"I used to go from the south to the north, but now I go from the north to the south. The road is still the same, and the mountain is still this mountain. The mountain platform looks the same, but people are so old that they can't walk easily."

Huaiqiugong sighed.

Fang Xie shook his head and threw away the confused thoughts in his mind. He knew that the illusions in his mind just now were just because of the feeling of the big war. At that time, the northern and Southern Dynasties were opposed, the great Zheng in the north and the southern Chen in the South were opposed for hundreds of years, and no one could do anything because of the long river and the natural graben. Later, Emperor Taizu of the great Sui Dynasty raised troops to destroy Zheng and established the great Sui Dynasty. Emperor Taizong made great efforts to rule the country, and finally annihilated the Southern Dynasty. Since then, the world has been unified.

Such a magnificent past inevitably makes people sigh.

"Let's go"

Fang Xie shook his head and smiled: "when I come back from the southwest, take this road and go to this station to see if I have an old mood."

Huaiqiugong laughed and said, "even if you walked back and forth from this road when you were young, your state of mind will not change."

Fang Xie said with a smile, "that's right. I'll be back in a few months at most."

I don't know why, ye Jinnan hasn't spoken. His face changed slightly when he heard huaiqiugong talking to Fang Xie. Standing behind Fang Xie, he looked at the young and promising man. There were some complex expressions in his eyes, which he couldn't understand.

When they were on the road again, they passed the place where Fang Xie sniped Lu ou. Fang Xie deliberately lifted the curtain and looked out. He found that the official road was clean and there was no trace. He couldn't help laughing. Seeing him laughing, Huai Qiugong couldn't help asking, "what makes you happy?"

Fang Xie shook his head slightly: "nothing. I just feel that the mountain scenery makes people feel comfortable."

Huaiqiugong knows he didn't tell the truth, but it's hard to ask again.

In fact, Fang Xie laughed because he knew that he was still following others behind him. He killed Lu ou, shot the five bosses with five arrows in a row, and then shot the nag pulling the cart with one arrow. The bodies, the wreckage of the carriage, were gone. So Fang Xie concluded that the emperor also sent others to follow him. This is obviously the emperor's distrust of him, but it may not be a bad thing for Fang Xie. At least... Someone wiped his ass.

He knows that the emperor is a person who can't be trusted by anyone. This is a qualified emperor.

The motorcade crossed mount Mangdang and arrived at the Bank of the Yangtze River in the afternoon. This is the first time Fang Xie saw this river. He went from Nanyan Dali city to Fangu in the northwest of the great Sui Dynasty and took another road. This river, also known as the Yangtze River, is as magnificent as the Yangtze River seen by Fang Xie in his previous life, and even much wider than the Yangtze River in his previous life. There is a light layer of water vapor on the river, so he can't see the other side of the river at a glance.

When you get here, you have to separate. Huaiqiugong goes East and fangxie goes West.

This section of the water is quite gentle and is a big ferry. It is said that the upstream waterway is slightly narrower, but the current is so fast that ordinary boats can't cross it.

Fang Xie, they were riding in a 70 meter long ship, a Guandu ship. Generally, there are two types of ferries at ferries. One is Guandu, which is large and stable, and the charge is not high. However, because there are too many pedestrians, it is impossible to use Guandu alone. Therefore, many fishermen ferry here. Their boats are small but fast. They don't have to wait for people to leave like official boats.

Almost all the people on the Bank of the Yangtze River are good sailors. It is as simple to let them cross the river by boat as to let the Mongolians ride horses.

Here, Fang Xie's carriage will be useless. On the other side of the river, local officials will naturally prepare carriages again. Therefore, only personnel need to get on the ship, a line of about 100 people, and their official clothes blink. In particular, the more than 50 flying fish robes made the people afraid.

The big ship got the order from the government and waited for the imperial envoy here. Fang Xie set out as soon as they got on the boat, but Fang Xie stopped them and let the people waiting on the shore get on the boat. Such a big ship pulled them and made the people wait for the official ship to come back.

Ye Jinnan couldn't help but look at Fang Xie's orders. There was appreciation.

"General"

A soldier approached him and said in a low voice, "I inquired on the shore. No one has seen general Lu board the ship... According to the truth, general Lu should also be very eye-catching. No one can see it."

Hearing this, ye Jinnan frowned immediately.

"Don't mention it to anyone... After returning to Yongzhou, if someone asks general Lu... Say that the ferry encountered wind and waves, and general Lu unfortunately fell into the river!"

"But..."

As soon as the soldier was about to speak, he was stopped by Ye Jinnan: "no, but! If you let me know that someone dares to say a word, no wonder I don't read the old love! That's it. It's always the same when anyone asks. Do you need me to say it again!"
