Chapter 402

In the early morning of the second day, before other gates of Chang'an City were opened, the gate to Baqiao direction was opened out in disorder. In the quiet darkness before dawn, the sound of horses' hooves on the streets of Chang'an city still awakened the people in each square passing by, and let other early risers stop their work and listen attentively The neat sound of horses' hooves.

In the palace, standing at the gate of xuanzheng hall, Wu Mei, who had not left all night, watched the long cavalry quickly and orderly get out of Chang'an city. Wang Lou walked slowly behind him and said in a low voice, "the queen, the seventeen people in the bow and crossbow guards, for some reason or other, got into a fight after drinking and died ten people."

"Oh? What about the other seven? " Wu Mei is picking eyebrows. The unfilial son is quick, but not clean. It seems.

"After returning to the empress, seven other people were found out by Li Qiao, a doctor of the imperial historian, because of their drinking. Today, they were sent to go to Liaodong with his royal highness." Wang Lou doesn't understand why his highness should take risks with them since they are dissidents.

Hearing Wang Lou's last words, Wu Mei's face suddenly turned cold. She pointed her sharp eyes at Wang Lou's heart and said in a cold voice, "are you sure you were taken away by Li Hong?"

"It is true that the queen was taken away by his royal highness." Wang Lou's heart string fiercely tight, pressed in the bottom of his heart, is afraid to ask.

However, Wu Mei's tone softened again: "this Li Hong, really does not know the importance, do you really fear that there is something wrong with your mother?"

Hearing the Queen's words, Wang Lou was full of doubts. The prince's taking the seven people away really solved the hidden danger in the palace, but what did it have to do with the Queen's safety?

Wu Mei turned her head and watched the torch go away. She looked up to the sky with a long sigh and asked, "are you very puzzled. Why does the prince take those seven people around?"

"After returning to the queen, the maidservant is really puzzled. Since the prince knows that they are very dangerous, why does he have to take them with him? In this way, does he not put his highness in danger?" When Wang Lou saw the queen asking, he had to brave his head and say his doubts.

"Yes, he told people who had a heart to it. Li Hong claimed that it had nothing to do with this palace. He didn't want to put this palace in danger because he and his majesty were not in Chang'an." Wu Mei smiles bitterly and shakes her head.

Li Hong's action is to tell Li Xian that I killed your man. If you have the ability, you can rush to me. It has nothing to do with the mother.

However, Wu Mei could imagine that the seven people who had not died were afraid that there were only two ways to go. Either they were drowned on the waterway to Youzhou, or they were killed in the battle of Liaodong.

Taking waterway from Luoyang to Youzhou is the battle route in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. After all, compared with the land March, the cost of waterway is much cheaper. Moreover, you can go straight down the Yongji canal to Youzhou.

Located between the Taihang Mountains and the Yanshan Mountains, Youzhou has always been an important town in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The gap between the two mountains is the shortest natural channel between the farming civilization of the Central Plains and the nomadic people.

Similarly, the two mountains are also the natural dividing line between the farming civilization of Central Plains and the nomadic people.

In a strict sense, the boundary between agriculture and animal husbandry in Yanshan mountain range, from the north mountain outside Taihang Mountains, starts from the northeast of Tibet Plateau, and continues to Shanhaiguan to the East. It is a mountain range stretching for thousands of kilometers, which completely separates the nomadic people from the farming civilization of the Central Plains.

From this we can see that the rolling Great Wall built on the Yanshan Mountains is of great importance to the Central Plains to resist the nomadic people.

As an important military town in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Youzhou guarded the gateway of nomadic people to enter the Central Plains smoothly. It was also very important for the Tang Dynasty. In the future history, Youzhou was equally important.

Whether in the former Sui Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, the use of troops to invade Liaodong area and so on, all started from here to really gather troops.

However, with the wheel of history rolling, Li Longji, Li Dan's third son and the grandson of Li Zhi, encountered the rebellion of Anlushan when he later appointed Anlushan Town, a town of Hu Han mixed blood, to guard Youzhou.

As a governor of Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong, Anlushan had a large number of elite cavalry, together with the troops of his comrades Shi Wei and Pei, which led to the beginning of the turbulent period of the Tang Dynasty. As a result of the rebellion of an Shi, the Tang Dynasty entered the situation of vassal and town separatism, and never recovered the glory of Taizong, Gaozong and Xuanzong in the first half of the period.

From a historical point of view, if the Anshi rebellion was to warn the Han people of the importance of Youzhou to the Central Plains in the Tang Dynasty, then the alarm bell did not ring for a long time and did not arouse people's attention to Youzhou.

In the period of Five Dynasties and ten states, Shi Jingtang, who called himself as the emperor ER in front of Khitan, handed over the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun and Qidan, which forced the Song Dynasty to start its two hundred years of servile national destiny.

Shi Jingtang's move became the most serious mistake in the history of the Chinese nation's frontier. He left his door to others to look after and get the "benefits". I think the emperor of the Song Dynasty had a deep understanding.After arriving in Luoyang from Chang'an, Li Hong just took a rest in the evening. At dawn the next day, he took a boat to the East and took 3000 troops to Youzhou.

Looking at the far away Fan Ying, Lou Shide was also greatly relieved, and then ordered people to draft documents to be sent to the three provinces of Chang'an, Dali temple and the imperial historian platform.

Youzhou and Fanyang two place names exist each other, today's Fanyang is also equivalent to Youzhou, all the jurisdiction scope just changes with the change of the times, the name is also in the back and forth.

The reason why the Lu family of Fan Yang became one of the five surnames and seven families in Youzhou was related to their living in dangerous places.

Four days later, Lu Zhaolin, the governor of Fan Yang, led all the officials to meet Li Hong, the prince's Royal Highness, beside the Yongji canal. All the marching equipment, food and grass, etc. that his highness had given him for a long time were already ready.

Li Hong was not surprised at the rapid march for several days. What was most astonishing was that Lu Zhaolin and others, and the three thousand soldiers without armour behind the prince's highness were not even pale and tired!

This makes them very surprised. In principle, even in the Yongji canal, as Guanzhong people, how can they not get seasick?

But the fact is that they were beyond their expectation. When these people got off the boat and changed horses, everyone's steps were firm and strong, and there was no such thing as faltering or faltering.

After another night's rest, the army began to rush to Yuguan on the second day. Yuguan was built in the third year of kaihuang in the former Sui Dynasty. The purpose of Yuguan was to prevent the nomads outside the pass from coveting the Central Plains.

In the 19th year of Zhenguan reign, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, who had gathered troops from Youzhou and set out from Yuguan to Liaodong, was the only important military town in the Tang Dynasty.

After leaving Yuguan, Li Hongcai began to order the 3000 soldiers behind him to wear armour. The road of black soil compaction was smooth enough for the relatively good grain and grass materials.

Li Hong, who originally wanted to collect grain and grass from Yunzhong capital, had to start transporting grain and grass from liyangcang because of his father Long's order on the way. The 3000 soldiers and horses carried enough grain for tens of thousands of people, which slowed down the March.

After seven days, Li Hong left 2000 people to escort the grain and grass according to the March plan, and he was the first to lead 1000 people to the songmo governor's house. When he arrived at the songmo governor's house, he was already close to the front line that Li Hong understood.

But what he didn't expect was that long Da didn't practice his martial arts in vain. He didn't expect that long Dad took over more than ten cities such as Baiyan, Beisha, maigu, Yinshan and houhuang in a short time of about two months. Besides, he not only took these cities, but also moved the people of other people to the governor's house of songmo and Juyan And Dingxiang governor's office.

However, it seems that it was predestined in the dark. After asking the governor of the governor's office of songmo, he knew that long dad had been attacking Anshi city for the past 20 days, but he met with Koguryo's tenacious resistance. After gathering more than 200000 troops for more than 20 days, he was still unable to win.

Li Hong had already engraved the topographic map of Liaodong area in his mind. With his research on the road during this period of time, he was very puzzled. How could he take an'anshi city without breaking through with explosives?

Although it is said that Anshi city is the only way to enter the Korean Peninsula, and there are three cities behind it, namely, the South Soviet Union, Mudi and cangyan, it should be razed to the ground by using the explosives in hand in more than 20 days.

The governor of the governor's office of songmo came in from the outside quickly. The man arrived before his voice was heard: "I see your royal highness, brother Li Kuo."

Li Hong turned his head and did not see the figure. Before he could speak, he saw a man trotting in.

Interesting. Did he learn from him or did he learn from himself? How do you like it? Before you see it, you'll be polite.

The governor of songmo Prefecture was appointed by Dahe, the largest tribe of Khitan in the Tang Dynasty. To put it bluntly, the place where they are now is the land of Khitan.

The original name of brother Li Kuo was changku brother. It was changed to brother Li Kuo after he was given the surname by Emperor Li Zhi of Tang Dynasty. Now he is the governor of songmo Dudu Fu, but with Li Hong's reform of Liubu and the official system of four towns in Anxi in the Tang Dynasty in recent years.

The governor's office, which was held by Khitan and other tribes, became more and more like an honorary position. However, it seems that people still attach great importance to it. It is very beautiful.
