A Clash of Gods

Hanzhong North leans on the Qinling Mountains and Nanpingba Mountains are shallow and beautiful, with rich products and is known as Tianshui.

When the Li clan took control of Bashu, Hanzhong belonged to the Bashu sphere of influence. At that time, Jinyi Laohou took the lead in cutting Shu, and the Northern Han also felt the opportunity to take advantage of it and intend to go south to capture Hanzhong. Fortunately, the Shu general stationed in Hanzhong blocked the Qinling. Although the military strength is weak, several of the main points in the Qinling Mountains are all dangerous places that were untouched by the same person. When Li Hongxin submitted the surrender table to Dachu, the North Korean army still failed. Step into Hanzhong.

After Li Hongxin declared his honor to Chu, the Hanzhong defender did not continue to resist. He handed over Nanzheng to the old prince of Jinyi, but he was greatly praised by the court.

It ’s just that after all, it came from Li Hongxin ’s subordinates, so the guard will be transferred to Beijing and given enough honor and wealth, but it has not been reused since then. The guard has passed away many years ago, and the juniors still enjoy the court ’s Salary.

Since then, there have been three generals transferred from Hanzhong, all of whom were sent by the court. Today, the deputy general Han Yun who is stationed in Hanzhong was also one of the ministers who followed the old clothes of Jinyi.

After Ban Yun felled, he followed the old Hou Ye and went north to fight against the Northern Han Dynasty. Later, Jin Yi Lao Hou Ye personally recommended Ban Yun to the court, and Ban Yun was transferred to Hanzhong as a guardian to preside over the defense of Han Zhong.

Although Chu Han has been in small wars for many years, the front line of Qinling has always been calm. Qu Yuangu, a Han general stationed in the northwest, has never taken the initiative to attack Chu Jing, and Ban Yun has not crossed over in Hanzhong for many years. Qin Ling means.

Hanzhong is a strategic place. Ban Yun was a military general. However, after spending many years in Hanzhong, the rashness of his body has disappeared a lot. He was seen by people on weekdays, and he only thought it was a Confucian student.

Located in a military place, Hanzhong has become a fertile ground for food and clothing for many years, and the people in Hanzhong are very grateful for the Taishou adults.

At the moment, Ban Yun was in an armored armor, leading a team of people and waiting in the south of Zhengcheng twenty miles.

Yesterday, I received a news report that Hu Guogong was about to visit Nanzheng in person.

Ban Yun has fought in the battlefield for many years, and has been an official in Hanzhong for many years. He has long been an extremely experienced veteran. Of course, he already knows that the Chu army went north, crossed the Huaihe River, and was fighting against the Northern Han Dynasty. Coming to Hanzhong is certainly not easy.

As the sun went down, the climate in Hanzhong was already quite cold. When I heard the sound of horseshoes, Ban Yun's spirit was rejuvenated, and he looked at the official road. He saw a team of cavalry swiftly approaching here, and Ban Yun immediately ushered in. Before going there, the number of cavalry in that team was not large, but there were more than a hundred or so people, but they were quite imposing. They drove to the close. When they first strangled the horses, they scanned Ban Yun and others. At a young age, Jin Yi was in his body, and he immediately understood that he came forward to arch his hand and said: "Xiaguan Hanzhong is too guarding the class cloud, and see Lord Lord!" Knelt down on one knee, everyone behind him also fell down with his knees.

The young man was naturally Qi Ning, turned over and dismounted, stepped forward to support Ban Yun, and smiled: "Ban Taishou does not have to wait here."

Ban Yun got up, but the eyebrows showed an intimate look, and said with a smile: "Grandpa is here, and Xiaguan will be welcome from afar."

Qi Ning smiled slightly, then swept the followers behind Ban Yun again, and said with a chuckle: "The soldiers under the hands of Ban Taishou are full of spirit, and at a glance they know that they are brave and capable teachers."

Ban Yundao said: "Being on the front line, Xiaguan did not dare to neglect. Everyone in Hanzhong is training three times a day and never stops." He glanced back before continuing: "There are three thousand soldiers in Hanzhong Ma, but when the official came to Hanzhong to take office, he once made a suggestion to the court, with the support of the old Houye and the permission of the court, and because of this, every soldier in Hanzhong is regarded as ten. Fierce feet. "

"Suggestions?" Qi Ningrao was interested: "What suggestions?"

"Hanzhong soldiers' equipment and food have not been weak. Although they are not as good as the defenders of the capital, they are second to none among the imperial border guards." Ban Yunnian was in his fifties. Although he was wearing armor, he did not have the usual generals. A brave spirit, speaking slowly: "Xiaguan gave them the best food and the best equipment, but also gave them the most rigorous training, three exercises a day, four seasons unchanged, and everyone's training situation will be It is reported that a review will be conducted every month. If the training is not good, you will need to be removed from the field and recruit new soldiers to fill in. "

Qi Ning said “Oh”, and Ban Yun continued: “Every month, 30 or 40 people are ordered to withdraw from the ranks, but almost all Hanzhong soldiers are Hanzhong natives. After leaving, they can only stay in Hanzhong. Tian. The soldiers are well-paid and it is not difficult to recruit soldiers in Hanzhong. "

"Thirty or forty people a month, haven't three or four hundred people been ordered to retire this year?"

Ban Yunxiu said first: "That's exactly what happened. In the past few years, Xiaguan was ordered to withdraw from the ranks of thousands of people."

Qi Ning smiled and said: "You do this, don't you worry about these soldiers resenting you?"

"The order is prohibited, the rewards and penalties are clear, and there will be no such worries." Ban Yun smiled and said: "Who goes and who stays, it's all up to you, so no one is dissatisfied." Ma are all excellent soldiers who survived the survival of the fittest. Not only that, but the soldiers who withdrew from the ranks could be called back at any time once the situation in Hanzhong was critical. These people have been trained in military service and they know how to fight better than ordinary civilians. "

Qi Ning lamented: "In this way, these retired soldiers are the reserve army of Hanzhong."

"Ye Ye's words are very true." Ban Yun said: "Although Hanzhong can't do all the soldiers, it is not a bad thing to store a batch of reserve pawns." Raised his hand: "Ye Ye, please!"

The crowd re-launched and returned to Nanzheng.

Nanzheng is the heart of Hanzhong County. After Qi Ning entered the city, he saw people coming and going. Although it was not the same as the prosperity of Chengdu, it was orderly, and the people who came and went looked very calm and seemed to be used to it. In order to live a quiet life, it is possible to have such a situation on the front line, and it can also be seen that Ban Yun's governance of Hanzhong is not bad.

In the Taishou Mansion, Ban Yun made tea, and then he drove everyone out, saying: "Wei Shi Shi Fei Shu spread the word, saying that the Lord's trip to Hanzhong was to suppress the bandits, I don't know ...?"

"Since you are here, there is no need to hide you anymore." Qi Ning said: "Ban Taishou, there are bandits in Hanzhong?"

"Back to Jueye, when Xiaguan took over as Hanzhong, there were indeed bandits here." Ban Yunzheng said: "That's all Hanzhong locals, fighting homes and robbing homes, because they are familiar with the topography of Hanzhong. They hid in Tibet, and they often hid inside the Daba Mountain, which stretched for hundreds of miles. Once they hid in it, it was really difficult to find. It took more than two years for the Xiaguan to completely destroy the gangsters, now in Hanzhong Although it is impossible to say that Taiping is fine, gangsters are already very rare. "

"You can privately tell the generals under your hand that a group of robbers escaped from Chengdu to Daba Mountain, and harmed the people. In order to completely eradicate this bandit, Shi Shifu sent soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress." "Let those ministry generals spread the news inadvertently, at least let everyone know that the officers and soldiers are transferred to Hanzhong to encircle and suppress the bandits."

Ban Yunxiu said first: "Xiaguan immediately arranged, but the Lord's trip in Hanzhong, but there are other things ordered Xiaguan to do?"

"Encircling and suppressing Daba Mountain is to hide people's eyes and ears and show them to the Northern Han people." Qi Ning said: "Can you know the situation there?"

Ban Yun immediately said: "Xiaguan has sent spies to the northwest area for a long time. After hearing Beitang's death, several princes competed for the throne. Beitang Feng fled to Xianyang and turned to Qu Yuangu. Two or three months ago, Qu Yuan Gu had already sent troops from Xianyang to command the elite of the northwest and stationed at Tongguan, but he remained intact at Tongguan. Seeing that, he waited for several other Northern Han princes to fight for your life and death. Both Beifeng Feng and Qu Yuangu Will take the opportunity to enter the customs and win Luoyang. "

"How is Xianyang defending the army now?"

"Qu Yuangu has two sons, but they are all wine-dressers, and they are worse than Qu Yuangu." Ban Yundao said: "But after Qu Yuangu guarded the northwest, lest anyone might spy on his powers. The two sons are all in charge. This time, the second son is sent to the army, and the eldest son Qu Manbao stays in Xianyang. "

"Qu Manbao?" Qi Ning said with a smile: "It seems that this General Qu is very fond of treasures." Asked: "How is Qu Manbao?"

"This man has an arrogant temper and surly behavior." Ban Yundao said: "His father was the master of the Northwest, and his aunt was the favorite concubine of Beitang Huan. The Qu family was once very glorious in the Northern Han Dynasty. This Qu Manbao naturally has no scruples ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ is lawless in the northwest, but this person is also very brave. It is said that he once killed a leopard with bare hands after drinking. It should be some means. "After a pause, he continued:" This person The biggest weakness is the greedy cup lust, which is said to drink ten pounds of wine every day, and all women are unhappy. "

"No girl is not happy?" Qi Ning thoughtfully.

Although Qi Ning hadn't said his plan yet, Ban Yun had already guessed a few points, but since Qi Ning didn't speak, he didn't speak easily.

He has been in Hanzhong for many years, and even Xi Chuan Shi Weishu did not dare to point fingers at him, but now the Xiao Guogong of the Jinyi Qi family has personally arrived, he still maintains sufficient respect, and his heart is very clear. What decision Ning makes, he can only cooperate fully.

"I heard that the defenders in Hanzhong are mainly defending among the four mountain paths in the Qinling Mountains." After a while, Qi Ning only said: "How many soldiers are there on Nanzheng?"

"Actually, the four Qinling roads are all narrow roads, as long as setting up a guard post in a dangerous place is enough to resist the enemy." Ban Yundao said: "Xiaguan has set up three checkpoints in each narrow road. There are a hundred people in the level, and there are more than 1,000 people in the four narrow lanes. When the first level finds the enemy, it will immediately ignite the beacon. The distance between the next two levels will not be too far, enough to notice Fengyan in front, together with Fengyan, the news will soon reach Nanzheng, and a few lines of defense will be enough for us to support enough time. "

Qi Ning frowned and said: "We set the level on the four, then of course the Northern Hans will also set the level on the narrow path."

Ban Yunxiu said: "It is precisely that if you want to pass through any of the four narrow lanes of Qinling, whether it is going south to Hanzhong or going north to Xianyang, you must pass through the card post, otherwise you can only turn over Qinling, but for the soldiers and horses, It is impossible to cross the Qinling Mountains.
