Chapter 1102 Return to Far 2
Along the open and rolling plains,
I have successively attacked nearly four states with great momentum. After twenty-nine cities and towns, I have gone further than I planned, but this is not very meaningful (because of the numerous divisions of vassals, Andong's state division is much smaller than that in the mainland.)
Because of the sparse population along the way and the desolation and decay of towns and towns, it was difficult to obtain supplies and other assistance from the local areas at the beginning of these cities; even the symbolic hostages were not collected.
Because the local powerful and wealthy families with some strength and fame are either gone or have already fled; there are only a bunch of civilians and poor households who are unable to leave their homeland or have nowhere to go, and it is also a great burden and burden to organize them to restore order.
On the one hand, this is the cause of the Tu people's rebellion, and on the other hand, it is the painful consequences caused by Yelu Dashi leading the troops outside the border to cross the border. Therefore, small groups of vassal troops and Anton's auxiliary soldiers were kept to maintain the basic order of the places along the way.
Although most of my 50,000 troops were left because most of my 50,000 troops were left, the corresponding consumption was slowly and resolutely as the distance between the rear grain stations was extended and the occupied area expanded.
Although these places are filled with the rich original ecological resources described in primary school textbooks, "beating roe deer, catching fish with pheasants, and flying into the rice cooker", it is really a good place to hunt and experience survival in the wild; but it is meaningless for a large army of people to eat horses and other daily consumption.
Of course, there is no gain without any gains in the capture and occupation of these places by armed marches; except for the various professional teams accompanying the army, the geography and hydrology of the various animal and plant specimens and environmental assessments, and the collection of most properties and resources; other gains are a bit special.
Because they are all women, women who are suitable for having children in the teens to thirties and forties are the types that are willing to follow you as long as they are given a bite of food;
Because men who are living supporters or who are the ones at home either die or flee, or are captured as cannon fodder for passing troops, or go out to make a living, and are missing out; some of them are forced to sell themselves out for their livelihoods, wanting to do business with passing Huaizhen troops and those vassal troops.
Then, because the Huai Army was relatively strict in discipline and fair in trading, they simply followed the army's plan to do long-term business. After the gathering was too small, they were discovered, but they begged to leave. So the army simply came forward collectively and bought them all at the price of Weibo with very little food.
So along the way, thousands of people were sent to the rear one after another, and were sent to the women's camp for a period of time as planned, and then rationed those meritorious soldiers or veterans with sufficient service qualifications according to the situation to solve the problems of marriage and family.
After my army passed through the vast forests and meadows in Xiangzhou along the winding road, it officially arrived at Huaide Town, a small town that was rushing on the riverside.
According to the geographical map of the Luofan era as a great capitalist, on the other side of the broad river, the important towns in central and northern Andong are the boundaries of Huanglong Mansion, which is rightly the Huanglong Mansion that "goes directly to Huanglong" allusion; it was the last capital of Fuyu Kingdom during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the earliest "Helong (Helong) City" (now Nong'an County, Changchun City, Jilin Province).
The originally north-south Mountong River suddenly turned into a zigzag corner and flowed toward the east, thus surrounding and separating a large fertile land from narrow to wide in the middle between the north and south.
Therefore, this is also one of the essence areas of the heart of Songnen Plain. Its long-term regional economic center and important town was once compared with the Hedong Road, which is located in a bend of several shapes of the Yellow River, and is called the "Little River East".
The name of Huanglong Mansion is because the river surrounded by north and south is mixed with yellow color in spring and summer and looks like a yellow dragon. Therefore, after the establishment of the Bohai Da Clan regime, this place was used as one of the founding capitals of the Five Capitals, Fifteen Prefectures, and one of the sixty-two prefectures, and was named Fuyu Prefecture, also known as the Huanglong Mansion of Accompanying. Then it was later conquered by the Andong Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, which was later inherited in the name of Huanglong Mansion.
?Because it is located in the intersection of the western grasslands and the eastern hills on the Songnen Plain, it controls the throat of the traffic on both sides of the Songhua River and the north-south, it has always been a key transportation hub and a must-fight for military strategists in the ancient history of Northeast China.
After the rise of the Donghu, Xianbei, Yui, Sushen, Goguryeo, Khitan and Mohe tribes, they all occupied this place one after another. During the rule of Goguryeo, in order to resist the conquest of the Tang Dynasty, a large-scale construction was built in the western border to build an intermittent "Thousand Mile Great Wall", and the northernmost source began here.
Since Li Ji destroyed Goguryeo and had a place, Xue Rengui first opened the Andong Protectorate Palace, and Li Guangbi opened up the northern border to set up a small governor's office, this land has been intermittently and over 600 years of storm under the rule of the Tang people.
In another time and space, the two emperors Huiqin, who were captured by the Jin people for a long time, had shame such as the laundry courtyard and AVI, which became Yue Wumu's last lifelong pursuit and a regret that was unfulfilled in his dying ambitions.
Because of the large fertile fields surrounded by rivers and the benefits of near-water irrigation, compared with the large areas of the water-south area, the city settlements separated by large areas of barbarian forests, or the area of Heze, the north water-south grassland, the area of Huanglongfu on the other side has historically been densely populated, with dense villages and villages, and the city walls facing each other is a place with a wealthy place.
In this long and east-west area, under the specifications of the Tang Dynasty's Lower Governor's Office, there are three prefectures, Ning and Xin, and five counties. Therefore, looking from my side, there are completely different scenery and searches in Jiangnan and Jiangbei.
It is said that the water level and color of the Huantong River are surprisingly large between the four seasons. The river water in spring is still green and yellow. It is said that it will only turn yellow from yellow to a completely thick and turbid dark yellow during the flood season when the melting water gathers in the upper reaches of summer.
Although the water surface in this season does not look very wide compared to the Huaihe River and Jishui River, it can already constitute a certain obstacle if there are not enough rush tools.
As a region with early human activities and long history, there are still many historical allusions and seals here. For example, the Goguryeo king of a certain dynasty was rushed here to take refuge by the Murong Yan Kingdom, and drowned his whole family while crossing the river. The royal family of Fuyu Kingdom in ancient times was destroyed by foreign forces several times, and was entrusted here for several times and made a comeback...
There was also the last royal family of the Bohai Kingdom that raised the rebellious flag to the Tang Dynasty. Here, the desperate followers were chopped off their heads and presented them to the siege army sent by the Anton Protectorate.
At the end of the Anshi Rebellion hundreds of years ago, the remnants of Fan Yang's rebels who were defeated and destroyed most of the Bohai Kingdom during the raging war. They also put down their weapons and accepted their destiny in front of the river that surged overnight on the north bank of Huanglong Mansion.
Of course, I can also lead my troops to continue west along the river, directly bypassing the area of Huanglong Mansion and then turn north, but this is not very meaningful; unless I want to go directly to the grassland outside the frontier/Mongolian Plateau as a springboard and advance base as a springboard and advance base along the route when Yelu Dashi came to the upper reaches of the Hulan River;
This is also a very ancient migration route, allowing the indigenous peoples in the Northeast to maintain a historical channel for a long time to communicate with the people who are attracting bows on the grassland.
Back then, the eight major exiles of the Khitan tribes who were destroyed under the vanguard of Li Guangbi's army broke into the land of Andong from here, and merged with the Tuman scattered among the mountains and forests, becoming the black Khitan that was transformed into the so-called fishing and hunting nation.
The last surviving family of the Bohai Da clan in history also traveled from here to the grassland and became one of the many foreign vassals of the Tang Dynasty.
Not long ago, the Hus and the remaining border troops of the Northern Dynasties led by Yelu Dashi also deviated to this area before entering the territory of Andong. They left traces and influences of the earth and the fields, and we have seen a lot of them all over the way.
However, if we really do this, it will be easy to expose our rear supply line to the enemy's threat, and the hostile forces passing through the river on the other side have been harassed and cut off the rear and are trapped in a difficult situation.
Therefore, the various subordinates' thoughts of stopping as soon as possible, and the slightest voices of the army hoping to go home began to appear in front of me.
