It's rare to have a sunny day,

The flag of the green mountain floats on the exterior wall of the city wall that is covered with gray in the snow. The figures and weapons active on the city wall are also clearly visible. "It's really a bit dangerous."

I stood behind a rock, looking at the small town that was about to rush through the roads in the mountains with a short distance.

To be honest, this city is really inconsistent with its name. It can only be considered a larger town in scale. The wall structure is also quite simple, and it can be seen that the obviously prominent civil structure is.

It is on the larger platform protruding at the intersection of the middle of the mountain. It is surrounded by three low walls against the edge of the mountain and natural steep rocks.

But the location is very important, just as it is pinched to the zigzag node where the up and down the mountain crossing, and both sides are bare and difficult to climb.

Therefore, although the mountain here is not high and the overall slope is not very steep and fast, if you want to launch an attack, you can only invest limited troops on the narrow and winding mountain road to attack.

In addition, the snow on the road greatly hinders and limits the speed of the assault, and makes large equipment going up the mountain a rare luxury.

Therefore, among the accompanying vassal army, various hints and voices of requesting return to the army began to appear beside me through various channels.

Of course, I can understand this. In addition to the concerns and worries about being treated as cannon fodder and consuming too much here,

In fact, for those who had just recovered their territorial forces, they were even more worried about whether the two great vassal families who had stayed in the Quanzhou Prefecture in the rear would join forces to take advantage of the opportunity to annex their territory and have household registration.

But for me, even if the corresponding opportunities and steps have appeared, it is really boring to retreat so easily without fighting.

Therefore, I ordered the troops to stay for the time being to rest and prepare, and carefully investigate and survey before talking about it.

Mainly, I am used to the battle method of a large array in the Huaibei area of ​​Henan Province and the large plains and hills.

For us, there are quite a lot of mountains in the Silo Phantom. Although they are generally not very high, they are almost continuous or fragmented, appearing in front of us one after another.

Especially in this winter when the locations are further north than Huaidong and colder and dryer, long journeys and camping in the wild with wind and snow are also a great test for the physical fitness and will of the soldiers.

Not to mention the impact of wind and snow on weapons and equipment, if the firearms and sperm are not maintained in time and properly, the sperm and sperm are dry, the sperm will be frozen and cannot be fired, and sperm is soaked unconsciously, which is not something that has not happened.

Fortunately, our opponent is weak enough. Even if it can't be fought occasionally in the battle, it can be supplemented with enough training and bravery. In the melee battles encountered in close combat, just using guns and butt stocks can hit the opponent hard.

There are also a series of problems such as thicker and deeper snow than Huaidong, which can easily sink into the ankle and cause sprains and bumps, which can cause more trouble than those enemies.

As a result, the gunmen who learned the lesson also learned to use the body temperature stored close to the body to keep the medicine and the machine bracket dry, tie the support strength outside the boot, and try to make and use various stopgable means such as sledding.

The losses of mules, horses, livestock and husbands are even more common. For example, when climbing the mountain, they were shocked by large pieces of snow and jumped off the cliff in panic.

In contrast, those who came with the army, whether in terms of equipment, training, and logistics preparation, were in much better condition than our much simpler locals.

Wearing tattered and thin clothes, they almost fucked straw sandals that were not fatally warm or covered their feet with cloth. They were used to carrying various objects including swords and swords, and trekking in the snow and rugged roads. They even used bales and sacks to make mats and bedding, and they just snuggled up with the temperature of the animals in groups of three or three, sleeping in the snow in the open air.

It is worthy of the evaluation of two-legged animals in history.

As long as they can provide basic food, they always have enough quantity to follow closely, intermittently, as the main combat force, and falling behind basically means the natural elimination of death (Cheng, also takes it for granted.

A voice interrupted my thoughts at this time.

"This is Aihara and Leicheng..."

"A famous ominous place in Jeollado."

Wearing a narrow robe and flat crown, the No. 2 led the way, introduced me to me with some exaggerated expressions.

"Originally called Hai Laoyuan, it is also a rich place with fertile land." But since the Zhang Baogao Rebellion and the Punishment of Gongren, it has been abandoned..."

His full name is Cui Chengji, and he is a child of the Choi clan of the Shaliang clan in Qingjun, near Jeolladao, near Jeonju Prefecture.

It is said that his ancestors entered the Tang Dynasty as a young man. He passed the imperial examination and was first appointed as the Lishui County Magistrate. He eventually became the Grand Secretary of the Lizheng Academy and the Chief Secretary General, and the Silla Prodigy Cui Zhiyuan.

In his later years, he returned to his country to support his old age and continued to teach and teach Taoism in his hometown Qingjun, and became a great master of inheriting the Xinluo Hanology. He developed into an important family and clan in the local area.

Therefore, the Cui family, which started with the original title of 300 households and developed to its current scale, has long been different from the national honors and relatives who later divided the vassals, and was divided into old vassals, and was also called the old family, the Shilin faction, the clan, the clan, etc.

However, because the main branch that is now trapped in the city is almost dead or missing, and there are only two or three adult males left.

Cui Chengji is also the Choi clan of Qingjun, who has now recovered his territory, and is ranked third in the heir. Because he likes to travel and goes to Beijing to study in his early years, he has traveled many places in Silla and became my follower and guide.

The Cui family, which has most of the Qing county, the Pei family of the Guangyang neighboring county, and the Luan family of the province, together with several counties called Taimayuan, Jeolladao is the most fertile and largest grain-producing area, with more than 10,000 mu of land of various colors. (The ancient Silla system, one treasury is about 33 mu).

According to the Mutual Protection Alliance signed, these three companies will not only provide a large amount of military wealth and food, but also provide labor and vassal soldiers with the army,

According to the respective agreed shares, they must also be supplied to Huaizhen through sea routes every year, at least 30,000 stones of unshelled rice, more than 50,000 stones of beans and wheat, and other miscellaneous grains must be 20,000 stones. There are also a series of conveniences and exclusive rights such as direct trade.

Our side used iron tools, sea salt and refined coal produced under Huai Town to discount the price, and helped to arm and train the self-protection armed forces of these vassal families.

In this way, a sample of the master-slave covenant that uses force as the basis to ensure that trade activities that control the lifeline of the economy in disguise took shape.

Of course, it also needs to be managed and maintained slowly in the future to continue for a long time.

At least under the premise that the specific costs of direct occupation, annexation and rule are too high, in the form of indirect influence, more sources have been obtained for Huaidong's relatively scarce labor and food in the form of Huaidong in the short term.

This also means that more local people in Huaidong were liberated from the heavy daily labor force and included in the accumulation of war potential in the nature of the reserve.

"The Zhang Baogao Rebellion?"

I couldn't help but notice a word in his words and felt a little familiar.

"It is the Zhang Baogao who returned from the Shang Kingdom... also known as the Gong family."

He explained to me in detail

According to him, although this place is not the most dangerous place in the country, it is also the place where a key event occurred in the history of the Xinluo clan. This inconspicuous small mountain city has its own unique name.

It is said that more than 300 years ago, the Silla royal family, which could not bear the internal turmoil, ran to offer soil, which caused the bones to collapse, and the land of Silla was reconciled for twenty or thirty years, and became the so-called Donghai Road, also known as the Silla vassal, which was called the Shirao Dao, also known as the Silla vassal state. It was the dual system of the emptiness and reality of the vassal state to replace the princes of the vassal state with the great commander of the Kaijing and the Lelang County Prince who was in Chang'an, and the dual system of virtual and real.

But during the period when the Yiwei Rebellion broke out, the authority of the Grand Chief of the Haidao was getting weaker and weaker with the chaos of the Tang Dynasty's central government. At the same time, affected and affected by the civil strife of the Tang Dynasty, the Silla princes, who had originally had a split position, also took the opportunity to set off a craze of mutual annexation and invasion, and the land became even more chaotic.

Therefore, the people's miserable life was everywhere, and it was called the era of "poaching and rioting".

At this time, Zhang Baogao, a general from Xuzhou, took the opportunity to return to his hometown and started to recruit a large number of desperate and chaotic troops from overseas, claiming to be the governor of Qinghai. He first washed away the coast and gradually became stronger, and then went ashore to break through the coastal vassals, and occupied more than a dozen states.

Therefore, he abandoned the Han Dynasty's name Zhang Baogao and began to change his name to Gongfu, proclaiming himself the General of Baoding of Anguo, and supporting a Jin clan clan whose so-called origin was unknown. He was called King Shanzhen and began to declare that he would restore the Silla's homeland.

Since then, all kinds of ambitious and speculators, losers and dissatisfied people in the war, rushed to join forces and grew stronger. He also followed the example of the Tang Dynasty, organized various armies and appointed officials, and enfeoffed prefects and city lords from all over the country to secure property.

Therefore, it swept across the vast land that occupied the northern and central Silla in one fell swoop, and against the remaining alliance of princes in the south, it stepped forward and fought one after another, and it was in a strong momentum to unify the territory.

However, at this time, the northern country also ushered in the era of Chengguang revival. The Northern Tang court finally took action and formed the Andong camp. At the beginning, the Andong princes who were unruly or obscene in Taoping were the rebellious or obscene.

The Xinluo Fan, located in a corner, became the first target to be killed to scare the monkey.

The army of sea and land that came in due time, with the support of the remaining princes in the local area, divided into several ways and entered Silla. Suddenly, the so-called Silla, which occupied most of the land, was divided into several pieces, turning it into a Shura field with blood flowing into rivers and corpses.

Although there were support from some Andong princes who came across the sea and even sent troops to participate in the war in the later period, it was still irreversible that Zhang Baogao's failed destiny was defeated.

Although Zhang Baogao exhausted his strength, he almost lost consecutive battles and lost his territory. He finally couldn't stand the battle and ran away with the remaining people.

It is said that they originally wanted to pass through several channels of Shangqing, Ping'an, Qiola and Jiangyuan in the central part of Silla, and arrive at the northeastern coast supported by the garrisons of Andong.

However, the Sila general Yan Chang, who was stationed in this small mountain city, had already given the city to the Northern Tang army in exchange for the sixth rank of imperial edict.

Zhang Baogao, who retreated from Kaijing, was blocked under this originally unknown mountain city with his last followers. Although he had been attacking for several days, he still couldn't get down.

In the end, Zhang Baogao and his subordinates almost burst into tears and turned to face the Northern Tang soldiers chasing. With the determination to die, they won several formations and gradually exhausted themselves.

Then, under the sea route from Fusang and Dengzhou, several troops from Andongxingxing Hepinglu Road, all the troops were lost here.

Death on the spot and executed afterwards, the heads cut down were piled into dozens of hills. The rushing blood gathered on the Hai Laoyuan and formed several rivers, soaking all the land into dark brown.

It is said that since then, this land has only grown grass without crops. To this day, some people have seen ghost fires wandering at night, and are said to have been cursed by tens of thousands of people gathered but not dispersed.

After that, there was Gongyi, the son of Zhang Baogao, who claimed that Maitreya was reincarnated and launched a rebellion in Shangqingdao; there was also an old subordinate Zhen Xuan who raised an army to echo him, proclaiming himself the king of Hou Baekje in Jiangyuandao. Zheng Nian, the remnant of Zhang Baogao, wandered to the sea for many years.

Since then, he was calmed down after many years of unrest.

Gongzi, who was defeated in the Battle of Beiyuan and tried to escape with the coalition commander Liang Ji, was defeated by his subordinate Wang Jian when he passed by the mountain city. Finally, the car broke into a break outside the Kaijing Gate and set off a talisman.

Wang Jian was also pardoned and decreed, and moved from Songyue County to Tanluo Island (now Jeju Island), becoming the ancestor of the Wang family, one of the three Tanluo families.

Therefore, this mountain city that sheds the tears of two generations of heroes and fathers and sons also has the name of the City of Tears.

While he was telling, the sound of a trumpet sounded in the distance.

It represents the road leading to the mountain and being cleared out. The first common sense attack is about to begin the war...

at the same time,

The capital of the northern part of Gangwon Province, in Dongning City, is the center of the inner city.

The whistling north wind blew the huge brazier burning everywhere and was unstable.

In the midst of the snow, the group of people in a mess was also introduced into the building complex that originally belonged to the Governor's Office but was renamed Daxing.
