"Did you abandon the army and flee?"
"Your Majesty, the hussar general replied that he would do everything in his power to hunt him down.
Liu Yan has now passed through the desert, which should be about 150 miles away from Yanmen County, and they will follow this military road, enter Yanmen Pass, and then go east, through Liaoxi County and Liaodong County into the northeast, to inspect the actual situation there after more than a year of development.
The road from the hinterland of the Han Kingdom to the grassland is not small, it is the route taken by the army when repeatedly marching into the grassland, and the back is a street sign that is inserted, and there is a post station every ten miles.
Because it was developed by the army, the post stations along the way also belong to the military system, and have always been commonly known as military roads.
In fact, Liu Yan was still a small hand, and he didn't make much effort to build a road to the grassland, and the former first emperor called half a country to build a straight road to the Hetao from the then Neishi County, which was built with a very rigorous attitude and specifications.
The straight road built in the Qin period is still preserved in later generations, not to mention today, the Han State actually used the straight road built in the Qin period to play a considerable role in the transportation of baggage from Guanzhong to the Hetao.
"Hussar general" Liu Yan was not riding a horse, but riding in the chariot, and several important ministers were on the chariot together.
He shook his head and smiled, and said, "I wish I could chase to the ends of the earth." ” A person wants to hide, if there is no insider to report the escape route, the difficulty of trying to catch it is much higher than imagined, Liu Yan does not care too much about whether he can catch Fu Jian, the powerful Di clan has become a thing of the past, the trouble caused by the Fu clan entering the West High Car has become an established fact, even if the Fu clan wants to do something more, it will be like that for the Han Kingdom, it will not change the overall trend.
Yanmen Pass has always been one of the most important passes in Zhuxia, it is relying on the surrounding dangerous mountains as a barrier, choosing the most advantageous location to build the city tower, and the long city wall together to become the barrier of Zhuxia in the north.
Liu Yan looked at the past from a long distance, and the numerous mountains extended into a straight line, and if you want to enter Yanmen Pass, you need to pass through the passage sandwiched by the mountains on both sides.
If it is said that the passage is not dangerous, in fact, the passage is still facing the mountains, and most of the roads that can be walked are winding and winding, but military facilities can be seen on all the heights, and the most important thing that cannot be ignored is the castle tower in the road that must be passed.
In addition to the main gate, which provides passage, there is a fortress on the high ground on the left, and a mountain directly connected to the right side.
A fortress is a walled complex of buildings, with quite a few buildings that resemble beacons, in fact, those buildings that resemble beacons are arrow towers for fortresses, on which two or three bed crossbows can be placed, and twenty or thirty crossbowmen can be used to stand.
They have been arranged in a very particular orientation for a long time, almost covering the shooting boundary in front of the pass gate, but also for the road leading to the fortress.
The defenders of the pass already knew the arrival of the patrol team, according to the process is to clear the obstacles along the way, the pass and the city wall, fortress and other places can not stand in the open place, most of the defenders are out of the city gate to meet, everywhere can only see the flag fluttering in the wind.
The leading troops of the patrol team passed through the city gate, and also took over the pass and various defense points according to the process.
This is not to distrust the defenders, it is the necessary procedure for the Son of Heaven to patrol any area, if the Son of Heaven specifically ordered the defenders of a certain place to be responsible for the defense of the line, it would be absolutely honorable, but similar examples are pitiful.
Liu Yan deliberately stopped when he arrived at the Yanmen Pass, and looked up to see the name of the pass carved on the stone slab in small seal script.
The Yanmen Pass he saw was not neat, and the city wall was not made of bricks, but was actually a rammed earth structure, and in some places it was made of stones.
The road in front of the gate of Yanmen Pass is deliberately narrow, and it can only accommodate thirty people standing side by side, and the main city gate can only provide one car or seven or eight people to pass side by side.
Liu Yan got back on the chariot and deliberately calculated when passing through the city gate hole, the depth of the city gate hole should be about 12 meters, and there were four Tibetan caves on the left and right sides of the inside.
He made a special inquiry, and learned that each cave could accommodate fifty people, and that there were also stored food, water, some ordnance, firewood, and fire oil.
The hidden soldier hole in the city gate hole is not a decoration, it is mainly responsible for the guard of the city gate hole, once the enemy breaks into the door, they are using flesh and blood to block the advance of the enemy, and they will set fire if they can't stop it.
Through the city gate hole, enter a city surrounded by four walls of the urn city, which is actually the second line of defense of the city gate, even if the enemy army arrives here, they have to face the crossbowmen on the four walls, to see if they have the ability to break through the second city gate against the rain of arrows overhead.
Then through the city gate hole of the urn city, Liu Yan saw a school field, the area is about the size of a football field, and the perimeter is surrounded by a fence.
At this moment, the school field is full of soldiers standing in a queue, they all knelt on one knee after seeing Wang Qi, and shouted the slogan of "Ten thousand years of the Son of Heaven, the Han Dynasty has no borders", and they took the lead, and people everywhere joined in, and the slogan echoed in the mountains, rippling the earth.
In addition to the school field, this area, including the school field, is actually a permanent military camp, a line of defense built according to the defense system, and a row of military buildings, indispensable arsenals, granaries and the like.
Yanmen Pass was the first of the passes in the early Han Dynasty, and the Yanmen Pass in the early Han Dynasty was not what it is now, not to mention that the defensive walls including the pass tower were not as high as they are now, and even the highlands were only a small number of fortresses.
There are relevant historical documents to provide verification, the Yanmen Pass in the early Han Dynasty was only two zhang high, and it was a state of four gaps, resulting in the Han army at that time to use flesh and blood to block, repeatedly broken through by the Huns casually, the raging county is not only Yanmen County, is almost the entire northern Xinjiang to suffer from the ravages.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it was not that the Yanmen Pass was thickened and thickened, and even thought about strengthening the fortifications day and night, the problem was that the national strength was slightly insufficient, and then it was worried that it would stimulate the Huns, and many times the defenders of the Yanmen Pass did not exceed 3,000 people, and they were urgently transferred from other places after the war.
Probably to the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, due to the easing of relations between Han and Hungary at that time, Yanmen Pass after more than ten years of repair and stopping, mainly did not want to stimulate the Huns, only to increase the walls of Yanmen Pass to three zhang, and some highlands also built fortresses.
Until the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the Huns could repeatedly break through the Yanmen Pass, but it was only when the Han Empire turned from defense to attack that the Huns could not break through the Great Wall into the Han territory.
Facts have repeatedly proved that even if there are fortifications that have been reconsolidated, the overall strength of the country is insufficient, or that the force is not in an advantageous position, and the passes can only play a certain defensive role, and they should be penetrated or will be penetrated.
Whether it is the Great Wall or which pass, there has always been a defensive role, but it is more to play the effect of early warning and blocking the enemy, in which the function of early warning is greater than the effect of blocking the enemy, the main purpose of building the Great Wall is also not to let Hu Lu go wherever he wants, the Central Plains Dynasty can better predict the enemy's marching route and prepare for defense or take the initiative to intercept.
The contemporary Han army has reached Mobei, the grassland has belonged to the territory of the Han family, the Great Wall has actually lost its military value, and the role of the passes is infinitely reduced.
The real situation is that whenever the Central Plains Dynasty can take the initiative to attack the grassland, the Great Wall will become an ornament, but all dynasties have not stopped paying attention to the Great Wall, and the funds allocated for maintenance and repair have not stopped, and there has always been a garrison, but the number of garrisons is too large.
Liu Yan naturally wanted to go up to the city tower to take a look, take in the surrounding terrain, and then look at the winding road in the mountains, and think of a few poems about Yanmen Pass in his mind, as if no matter which capital is full of sadness.
It seems that this is really the case, as long as most of the poems are indispensable, some "negative energy" is indispensable, either to say that the soldiers who go out of the fortress will inevitably suffer heavy losses, or to say that the people who go out to fight do not know how many will be able to come back, as if going abroad to fight is a tragic matter of nine deaths and a lifetime, and it really fully embodies the ideological concept of "defending the nation".
Liu Yan has been working very hard to recall, and he doesn't know that there is a small "poetry library", and he was depressed to find that in his memory, he also wrote a strong word for Chen Tongfu in the middle of the formation to send it, which can be regarded as not publicizing that going abroad to fight will be a life of death, the problem is that the last sentence "Poor white happens" is also in line with the format of Biansai's poems, and some pathos must be added.
Otherwise, "I was drunk and looked at the sword, and dreamed of blowing the horn and the battalion."
Eight hundred miles under the command, fifty strings turned over the outside sound, and the autumn soldiers on the battlefield "Isn't it very imposing to come again" Lu Fei, who made the horse, was fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt.
But the king of the world, winning the name before and after his death" artistic conception is also with good expectations.
"Your Majesty" Sang Yu didn't know what Liu Yan was in a daze, he called a few times before and didn't get a response, and then increased the volume slightly.
He waited for Liu Yan to look at it before he continued: "Xingyuan stopped here tonight."

Liu Yan is no longer recalling poetry, he is thinking about whether to tear down the Great Wall.
The Great Wall is very long, but it really wasn't connected at first.
Its construction began in the Spring and Autumn Period, of course, to resist the invasion of the Hu people in the north, and at that time the various vassal states were built separately.
With the annexation of the vassal states to each other, the various warring states continued to repair the earth, connecting the sections of the city walls that were originally built by the vassal states.
After Qin unified the world, the real "Great Wall" can be regarded as the present world, but in fact, it is also to connect the Great Wall originally built by various Warring States, and then repair the beacons and passes in various dangerous areas.
The Great Wall of Qin is basically a rammed earth structure, and it has to be said that the Great Wall of later generations is actually a product of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and many sections are no longer the location of the previous dynasties.
This is an inevitable thing, after all, the territory of Zhuxia is repeatedly advancing to the north, the Great Wall at the beginning was built in the modern mountain 1 west, Shaanxi 1 west, and He1 north, and to the Ming Dynasty is to advance to the Inner Mongolia region.
It must be said that in fact, the dynasty that built the Great Wall to the northernmost was the Western Han Dynasty, and the farthest was built to close to the outer 1 Mongolia, and the northwest was directly built to the new 1 Xinjiang.
"Zishen."
Liu Yan looked into the distance, where the sun was about to descend to the position of the mountains, and in some sections he could see a section of the Great Wall that looked like a yellow dragon: "The widow is thinking, the Great Wall still needs to be preserved" Sang Yu was very obviously stunned, the kings of all dynasties didn't care whether the Great Wall had become an ornament, no, the Great Wall of any previous dynasty was not an ornament.
Anyway, all he knew was that no ruler had ever thought of demolishing the Great Wall, on the contrary, he had been maintaining it.
"Why does Your Majesty have this idea" Sang Yu was both stunned and puzzled: "There is no shortage of national funds from the Han Dynasty."
Its realization that the Han State has not had time to pay attention to the existence of the Great Wall, only because of a certain period of military needs, specifically for the repair and reinforcement of certain sections of the Great Wall, such as the Yanmen Pass under their feet, the Shanhaiguan Pass in the north area of He1, and the Yanmen Pass in the northwest.
The resources consumed by the Han State on the Great Wall were not much in terms of overall income, and the counties and counties were rarely sent to the Great Wall, and the forced labor was more used for road construction and the construction of various villages, and in general, the Great Wall was not a burden on the state.
"It's not about funding."
Liu Yan raised his hand and pointed to the section of the Great Wall that he could see, and then pointed to the far north: "Dahan is an offensive country, we have already hit Mobei, and there is no threat within nearly a thousand miles." ” Sang Yu was silent, the current Han State did master the grassland, and there were really no enemies within a thousand miles of the grassland, but we always had to think about the future.
What he is thinking about is whether the Han State can always be in the offensive position, or whether it can always have the grassland, and now he really wants to tear down the Great Wall, but he doesn't think that the nation will lose the epic wonder or something, and it is not necessary to build it again when there is a need in the future "The widows sometimes feel that some of the words of those Hu Lu are correct, and it is the Great Wall that restricts the pioneering spirit of the Han people, and they build a sheepfold to think they are safe."
Liu Yan raised his hand to stop what Sang Yu was about to say, and continued: "Few people know that there was no Great Wall in ancient times, and the ancestors of Zhuxia repeatedly went north to compete with foreign races for living space, waiting for the Great Wall but stopped moving, or even retreated. ” Sang Yu tried very hard to recall, some of the history books he saw rarely mentioned the Great Wall, and even if it did, it was about a certain war that happened on the Great Wall, often which section of the Great Wall was broken, and how miserable the hinterland was beaten by Hu Lu and how miserable.
"The sea can't stop the Han people from exploring the unknown, and the Great Wall shouldn't be a yoke for the Han people."
Liu Yan smiled, but he waved his hand behind him: "The widow has to think deeply, if there is no Great Wall, future generations will not have the idea of not being able to defeat and retreat to the Great Wall, and they will know that they should fight hard earlier when they encounter an invasion."
Sang Yu was repeatedly shocked, the Han Kingdom was in a stage of prosperity, how could the supreme ruler think that future generations would not only lose the grassland, but even the enemy army would not be able to defeat the turtle and retreat behind the Great Wall The key issue is that Liu Yan knows that Zhuxia will really shrink behind the Great Wall again and again, and even the national Zuo will be destroyed repeatedly, and he will basically raise tigers by himself, or feel that he is very safe.
Liu Yan said in an unpredictable tone: "The Great Wall is very much like a lock. ”:
