Chapter 2034 Qinling New Road

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    What Huang Mingliao expected was true. In the Qinling Mountains, between Ziwu Road and Lanwu Road, there really were new roads, and there were not one, but three.

    From the very beginning, Li Yuan never changed his previous goal, which was to go south to Bashu.

    But Li Yuan also knew very well that when he went south, Huang Mingliao also went south. He took the small road, and Huang Mingliao took the main road. Even if he was on a short road, the other party might arrive first.

    Even if both sides arrive at the same time, he has no time to retreat, so Huang Mingliao must be delayed.

    So Li Yuan made preparations and divided his troops into three groups to move the tiger away from the mountain.

    Li Yuan first selected more than two hundred mountain soldiers in the army who were good at running and ordered them to go to Lantian Camp to deliver the message.

    Li Chen was obedient. After receiving Li Yuan's order, he immediately abandoned the camp and led his army southward to Kugukou (the valley where the Kuyu River originates from today's Shaanxi Province, about 60 miles away from Chang'an City).

    After delivering the letter, these soldiers deliberately created traces on the Lanwu Road that Li Yuan's troops had gone south.

    This was a trick to make people suspicious, and it was deliberately made visible to others, hoping that Huang Mingliao would believe that they were really going to Chang'an City.

    The remaining army was divided into one thousand and handed over to Chai Shao, who was ordered to leave Xinfeng Pass in the north and march towards Chang'an with great fanfare to attract the attention of the Sui army.

    The remaining main force of the Tang army was led by Li Yuan and continued to advance south.

    Tens of thousands of troops were walking among the high mountains, but the army was not moving very fast.  Moreover, the three armies were exhausted and lacked food. The Tang army was not a force that could break a leg like the Sui army, so the Tang army stopped and walked until Huang Mingliao arrived at the Lantian camp. After staying for half a day, he wanted to withdraw again.  , Tang Jun is still more than ten miles away from Lanwu Avenue.

    "However, that's enough.

    As Li Yuan expected, Huang Mingliao fell into the trap, and the entire army withdrew from Lan Wudao and headed towards Chang'an.

    At this point, the road from Li Yuan's position to the south is smooth.

    At a distance of forty miles, Li Yuan's troops moved very quickly.  Everyone knows that this is the only chance to escape. If you are too slow, you can only be killed by the Sui army. Therefore, regardless of exhaustion, the wind is blowing on the soles of your feet.

    The mountains and mountains near Lantian are difficult for ordinary people to find the way.

    "However, Li Yuan seemed to be well prepared, taking his time and moving forward steadily.  After all, Li Yuan also ruled Guanzhong for almost a year, and the situation along the way was basically under the control of the Tang army.  Therefore, from Lantian Camp to Kugukou, a distance of forty miles, the three armies arrived with precise orientation.

    The crowd marched all the way to Kugukou, where Li Chenzheng was leading his men to wait for Li Yuan.

    The mouth of Kugu Valley is also named Kugu Valley, which is due to the astringent water quality.

    Li Yuan¡¯s remaining troops were also exhausted.

    The whole army did not have much rest for four days and three nights, and they did not even have much food. They could only live hungry and full. After two more days, everyone became savages.

    At this time, when they arrived at Kugukou, the three armies could not help but rejoice in the hope of surviving.  Even Li Yuan's eyes were red and his hands couldn't stop shaking.

    It¡¯s really not easy to escape all the way here.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of food support from Li Chen's department, had a good meal, and then slept at the mouth of the Kugukou.

    The three armies slept for a long time, snoring like thunder until they stopped.

    The three armies are so exhausted that if the Sui army really catches up, the result is uncertain.

    Early the next morning, seeing that the Sui army had not yet come after him, Li Yuan decided to wait here for another day.  At this time, after he and Li Chen met, there were more than 16,000 troops and enough troops.  After repeated defeats in the previous battles and a sharp decline in morale, he hoped that the Sui army would pursue them and let him sit back and wait.

    "It's a pity that after waiting for a day, the Tang army still didn't come.

    Li Yuan knew that Huang Mingliao would not be fooled, so he ordered to continue south along Kugu Road.

    Kugu Road is a new road going south from Guanzhong.

    Originally, the route from Chang'an to Xicheng County was blocked by the Qinling Mountains and there was no short post road connecting it.  Even though many plank roads have been built in the north and south of the Qinling Mountains since the Qin and Han Dynasties, no one has built this south-north road.

    There were originally two main roads from Chang'an to Xicheng County, one of which passed through Lanwu Road to Shangluo, then passed through the Shangjin Road opened between Shangluo and Shangjin County (now Shangjin Town, Yunxi County, Hubei Province), and turned southwest from Shangjin.  You can reach Jinzhou by following the waterway of the Han River or the land route on the north side of the Han River via Xunyang (now Xunyang County, Shaanxi Province). The route is curved and the journey is long and circuitous.

    The other way is to enter Hanzhong via Ziwu Road, and then go east along the northern channel of the Han River from Shiquan County to Xicheng County.  When Ziwu Road is decongested, it is necessary to detour to Baoxie Road, Chencang Road, Baocheng Road and other places, making the journey longer.

    Therefore, a long time ago, there were business travelers from the Qinling Mountains.??Go out a few paths.

    These three roads are Xigu (now Xiaoyu Valley, Shaanxi Province) Road, Yigu (now Dayi Valley, Shaanxi Province) Road and Kugu Road. They are all named after their starting points and are several small mountain passes at the southern foot of the Guanzhong Plain.  And the end point is Xicheng County.

    Among them, the Kugu Road is at the eastern end, leading directly from the high mountains to Zhen'an County in later generations.  The Xigu Road and the Yigu Road followed the Ergu respectively after crossing the Qinling Mountains, and then merged into one road, going south along the Qianyou River to Anye County (today's Zhashui County, Shaanxi Province), from Anye County back to the south along the Qianyou Valley Road, passing through today's  The border of Zhen'an County merges with the Kugu Road. After reaching Liangheguan in Xunyang County, it then follows the Xunyang Valley Road to Xunyang County.  Then from Xunyang, it reaches Xicheng County along the north bank channel of the Han River or the Han River Waterway.

    These three roads, the earliest Yigu Road, appeared during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

    Except for business travel, the government did not pay much attention to these three roads. They even did not register them because they were difficult to travel.  This is also the reason why the Sui army did not know this way from beginning to end.

    After Li Yuan occupied Guanzhong, he saw that the Sui army occupied Hanzhong and the roads to the south were blocked. He also learned about these three roads through the Guanlong family, so he ordered people to repair the roads and build plank roads, thinking that the way to the south would catch Hanchuan County by surprise.

    But although there is a road, the third road is obviously not a good road, otherwise it would not have been hidden for so long.

    ??Going inwards from Kugu, there is Kugu Pass.

    Of course, there is no such thing as a pass, and there is no army or city.

    When the Tang army entered the valley, they began a difficult journey.

    ?????????????????????????????????????:??????????????????: A sheep's intestine is folded between the jungle and overhanging rocks.  After passing the Qinling Mountains, the terrain becomes slightly flat.

    Along the way, many Tang troops fell into the cliff.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????]

    From Kugu to Xicheng County, the seat of Jinzhou (today's Ankang City, Shaanxi Province), a distance of more than 300 miles, Li Yuan and his party walked for more than ten days.

    When the three armies arrived in Xunyang, Li Yuanji and Xiahou Duan, who were responsible for conquering the counties in Shannan, received the news early and came to greet Li Yuan in person.

    Looking at Jinzhou City surrounded by mountains, Li Yuan was in a daze. He just lost Guanzhong and fled to Bashu?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
