Chapter 384 The Boring Mountain
Last Updated:
2024-08-03 14:45:29The army was only two days away from reaching Naxi County, Luzhou. But it started to rain. Zhu Gaoxu ordered the army to camp in and around a small town called Jiangmenji, waiting for the rain to stop.
There was no wind in the air, and the drizzle was drizzling. From a distance, it looked like rain or fog, just like the plum rain. The climate in Sichuan was indeed different from that in Beijing and Yunnan. It was still October, and it rarely rained in places like Beijing, let alone this kind of continuous drizzle.
The road gradually became muddy. Zhu Gaoxu's boots and calves were covered with mud, and there were even spots of mud on his back, as if it had been splashed on his body while he was walking.
The soldiers requisitioned a tile-roofed house as the headquarters of the army. Zhu Gaoxu and his companions walked into the small town occupied by the army and saw moss growing on the stone slabs on the roadside. The streets and houses in the rain looked quie

The winter in Beiping was dry and cold. All the grass and trees had withered, and there was not a single green leaf to be seen in the city. The entire city was filled with houses, as if it was built in the desert.Only the colorful lacquer paintings on the palace in Prince Zhao's mansion added a bit of color between heaven and earth.Prince of Zhao Zhu Gaosui liked to sit on the throne in the front hall, burn a whole row of smokeless charcoal in the main hall to keep it warm, and then listen to the civil and military ministers talking about this and that in a condescending manner.The face of the palace's chief official was very red. He was trying hard to explain some complicated content. "There are roughly three major forces in the north. Although this is biased, it is difficult to distinguish the ones that are fighting each other, but this is the only way to roughly explain it...After the Northern Yuan Khan Toghon Temur was killed, the tribes called

It is already the end of October, and the eleventh lunar month, known as the winter month, is beckoning ahead.The Han army had successfully crossed the Jinsha River. What impressed Zhu Gaoxu the most was the scene when he climbed up a high mountain cliff and looked down at the river after crossing the river. It seemed like an aerial painting in front of him.Between the green mountains, gray stones and brown soil, the light yellow river meanders, like a huge snake suddenly entrenched in it.Just as Qu Neng said, as you go upstream along the river, the terrain becomes increasingly different in elevation, and the water flows rapidly in many places; if the wind direction is not right, it is almost impossible for a wooden boat to go upstream in such a place.However, in the winding places like a "coiled giant snake", the water flows much more gently, and the river is slightly narrower during the dry season, so even a simple small boat can cross the river.

The sun had already set behind the hillside, houses, treetops, etc., and the surrounding objects were still visible, but gradually became slightly blurred. Zhu Gaoxu walked to the blue-tiled pavilion built by civil engineering.Sichuan Province is a basin, but the plain area seems to be small. Zhu Gaoxu has not seen a real plain so far. There are also mountains in Luzhou. Standing on the pavilion, you can see the unique streets outside the garden... The narrow hillside road paved with old stone slabs, with small shops on both sides, makes people feel very quiet and lonely.There are some big houses with large tiles on the roof, which look small and dense. People with trypophobia may feel uncomfortable. Such a big roof and so many tiles make people worry that it will collapse; however, those houses look very old and are obviously still solid.Miao Jin said goodbye, leaving Zhu Gaoxu standing alone behind the wooden railing. There were many soldiers walking ar

The water level of Tuojiang River was very low, revealing gray-yellow sand and stones. It looked like only half of a river was left, or like a giant snake that was shedding its skin.On the flat river dam, the infantry marched in a line in a very coordinated pace. The vehicles and wheelbarrows pulled by mules and horses were also slowly moving northward; on the hilly road to the west, many cavalry were also walking slowly. The large number of people and horses on the river bank was a spectacular scene.Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse slowly in the procession, surrounded by people in front and behind. Only at this speed could he keep pace with the large number of infantry and baggage. He didn't put his hands on the reins, but looked down at a map, as if he was taking a leisurely stroll."Are we almost at Zi County (north of Neijiang)?" Zhu Gaoxu looked up at the surrounding scenery.A general beside him said, "Your Majesty, we will definitely arrive this after

It was less than 300 li from Jiading Prefecture to Chengdu Prefecture, while it was about 300 li from Zixian to Longquanyi, and there were still dozens of li from Longquanyi to Chengdu. Zhu Gaoxu could easily judge that if Xue Lu had a clear goal, he would definitely arrive in Chengdu earlier than him.The composition of the two armies was not much different, mainly composed of the princes' guards and the garrison troops. Although the armies in different places were slightly different, the training and marching methods were very similar... Xue Lu had river shipping, while Zhu Gaoxu could only rely on vehicles and mules to transport baggage, which was a disadvantage in marching. Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu had to let Xue Lu go to Chengdu first, otherwise the continuous rapid march would inevitably drag down the combat effectiveness of the battle formation.Qu Neng's vanguard cavalry of 8,000 is already a large force as a mobile attack force, but it is impossible to accomp

On the eleventh day of the eleventh lunar month, Zhu Gaoxu led his troops from Longquanyi to the south and arrived at Taipingchang that afternoon.The vanguard led the soldiers to requisition many local houses, and gave five coins to each house to show the attitude of the Han army. After Zhu Gaoxu's main force arrived, they stationed on the spot.Today, the marching route of the Han army is along the western foot of the Longquan Mountains, heading south and west; Huayang County is also southwest of Longquanyi. So after a day of marching, the distance from the Han army to Huayang County has hardly changed, still only about 50 miles!There have been many frictions between the two armies and the cavalry scouts...When the Han army arrived at Longquanyi yesterday morning, Xue Lu's army was already in Huayang County. And until Zhu Gaoxu received the last report from the scouts today, there was no movement in the government army camp in Huayang County. It se

I slept very well last night. When Zhu Gaoxu got up, the sun had already risen.During breakfast, a scout reported: Before dawn, a large number of government troops had left Huayang County and marched straight south! Zhu Gaoxu did not react at all after hearing this, but just ordered all troops to continue resting in Taiping Field.Soon, Qu Neng and other generals came to the main hall of the tile-roofed house to pay their respects. Zhu Gaoxu asked the soldiers to collect the dishes and chopsticks on the square table.Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand to let the generals stop their formalities and said, "We have been traveling from Luzhou to Longquanyi for nearly half a month, and the soldiers are exhausted. Most of the soldiers took a break in Longquanyi the day before yesterday, but I am afraid they are not fully recovered yet, so we have to rest for a while. But we can't rest in Longquanyi, we can only come to Taipingchang, do you know why?"Qu Neng pondered

The sky above the Sichuan Provincial Administration Office always seemed to be covered with clouds; it was gray and gloomy, and it was very difficult to see the clear and transparent scenery of Yunnan, where the sky was the sky and the clouds were the clouds. However, at this moment, the sun at the zenith was still trying to shine through the clouds.Zhu Gaoxu and his entourage had already returned to Taiping Square on horseback. The atmosphere immediately became lively, with soldiers everywhere and groups of cavalry going in and out of the square. At this time, Zhu Gaoxu rarely spoke, and when he met military generals on the road who saluted, he mostly nodded or made a gesture in response.He looked thoughtful, observing the soldiers under his command, thinking so much that he didn't know where he was, but he must be near Taiping Field.As soon as he turned a corner, Zhu Gaoxu heard the sound of strings. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a big

The sky gradually darkened and the lights came on. Gao Xu held Miao Jin's hand and followed the crowd into the concert hall.People were all dressed up, especially women, who were all dressed up. Some wore traditional clothes such as ruqun or aoqun, while others were dressed in modern fashion. Each figure seemed to be wandering between the classical and the modern.Among them there are many foreigners, probably all of whom came to Taicang to attend international conferences.In terms of fun, people might prefer to watch a movie rather than enjoy such pure music. However, there were still many listeners tonight, and the auditorium gradually filled up.Perhaps some of them value the rarity of concerts and do not attend them often, while others simply value their style.Gao Xu's main happiness comes from Miao Jin's company. Imagine if he came alone or with someone unrelated, his feelings would be much worse. He is willing to be with Miao Jin and exp

There were long commercials playing on TV, but no one changed the channel.Miao Jin was doing chores and preparing ingredients for lunch. Gao Xu began to check his various instruments, which were all measuring tools he had collected a while ago.There is a ray detector, which, according to the manual, can detect radiation, including ultraviolet light, laser and other electromagnetic waves. There is a torsion balance experimental device, which can measure the gravitational constant. And an air measuring instrument.There were also some uncommon small devices. In short, except for the large instruments that were difficult to carry, he tried his best to buy all the instruments that could test general constants.Miao Jin would occasionally look over here curiously, but before she asked, she might have guessed what Gao Xu was going to do.Gao Xu would tell her clearly as long as she asked. Because when he was going to look for the cave in Huangshan, h

Gao Xu usually doesn't like watching TV. But today, when Miao Jin was watching TV in the living room, he was gradually attracted by the TV program, so he stopped what he was doing and sat next to Miao Jin.There was a studio on the TV screen, with two hosts, a man and a woman, talking about the animation "Zootopia" like a crosstalk. It was neither news nor entertainment, but a show that mocked reality.Miao Jin saw Gao Xu sitting over and said, "This TV station should be more inclined to the left-wing viewpoint."Gao Xu asked, "Why haven't I heard of the distinction between left and right wings?"Miao Jin said, "It is originally an imported product. That is how foreigners describe Ming Dynasty politics. There is no clear distinction between left and right in China. So we generally don't use such words. It is normal that we don't hear them normally."She glanced at Gao Xu and continued, "This classification first appeared in the parliament during

Gao Xu's drama project has less than half the investment of the animation project, with a total investment of about 40 million yen for 15 episodes; the profit expectations are also completely incomparable to those of animated films. As Wang Siqi and most people believe, the fastest way to make money is still the movie box office.But Gao Xu has invested more energy in costume dramas.The crew built a filming site in the Western Regions. From 509 to the first half of 510, a production period of less than a year, Gao Xu flew twice to personally observe the filming site. His subordinate Sun Jing also stayed in the Western Regions for a long time, passing various information back to Taicang.A large media company in Taicang has signed an exclusive premiere agreement with Dream Incubation Studio.The terms are a bit complicated, but the key is to adopt a cooperation model with floating copyright fees.

The glass window on the outer wall is located in the east direction, so the sunlight cannot enter the studio in the afternoon. Therefore, Gao Xu often has a slight illusion that it seems to be later than the actual time.At this moment, the phone in his coat pocket rang. Gao Xu's phone rarely received calls because he had set the Do Not Disturb function, so no calls could be received from numbers that were not saved. He took it out and saw that it was a person who he did not contact often but had saved the number a long time ago, Sun Jing.Gao Xu stood up from his desk, walked to the corner by the glass window, glanced at Wang Cheng not far away, and answered the phone.Sun Jing's voice asked, "Are you still busy with work?"Gao Xu said, "Yes, I am working on two projects at the same time, so I am a little busy. How is Mr. Sun doing recently?"Sun Jing, "Very boring. I don't have to go to work, but I've been idle for so long that I feel like I'm

This was the second time Gao Xu and Xiao Yu had a meal together. Last time they were at the company cafeteria, and today they were at a roadside fast food restaurant.After finishing work at the agency, Gao Xu drove off the main road and found a parking space. Then he randomly found a restaurant where he could eat and walked in with Xiao Yu.It was very lively inside, with all kinds of customers, including well-dressed office workers and some homely citizens, men, women, young and old, making a big noise in the room, mixed with the loud shouts of the shop assistants passing on information. Although the air conditioner was on, the shop was open and there were many people, so it was still very hot inside.There were several dishes to choose from, all of which were simple and convenient. Gao Xu and Xiao Yu gave up on the braised pork intestines with radish, and roast duck was too greasy, so they chose roast chicken.The roasted chicken skin was cut into p

After many twists and turns, Gao Xu finally contacted the director named Ma Xuan.Ma Xuan has an account on the Internet where he posts some career news. Gao Xu's assistant Yu Ni left messages and sent messages, but it took several days for her to get a response. Gao Xu came to the hall and looked through the information records on Yu Ni's computer."He doesn't seem very proactive." Yu Ni said.Gao Xu said , "You claim to be the assistant of the investor of "Dream Seekers", but he may not believe you. If our studio also has such a certified account, it may save some trouble."At this time, Shidai Heng walked by and greeted him, "Mr. Liu."Gao Xu nodded and said, "We are trying to contact Ma Xuan, the director you recommended."Dai Heng came over and said, "He should have received a lot of similar messages. And there is indeed some false information on the Internet. For the purpose of advertising, people may lie about their identities, which

The people who work here, including Dai Heng who has only been here a few days, seem to have gotten used to the environment.The studio was in good condition. The morning sun shone in through the French windows, and the room was clean and tidy. In addition to the solid wood desk and bookshelf, and a full range of domestic electrical appliances (Made in China products are more expensive), there were also comfortable leather chairs.Gao Xu was in Xiao Deng's office at the moment, sitting on one of the leather chairs, holding a tablet and reading the text he had just copied from Xiao Deng's computer. Of course, he couldn't help but listen to the sound of her keyboard at the same time.He put down the tablet, picked up the cup next to him, and found it was empty. So he stood up and walked to the water dispenser, filled up half a cup of hot water, then took a tea bag and put it in the cup to soak for more than ten seconds, then took it out and put it next to him.

The next screenwriter who came to the studio for an interview was named Dai Heng, who should be a relatively unknown person.Gao Xu looked out from the glass wall and when he saw Dai Heng, he immediately guessed that this person was probably not married yet. Dai Heng was wearing a brand new suit, a white shirt with a small cross collar, and a pair of casual leather shoes that didn't match. The most unpleasant thing about Dai Heng was his long hair, but unlike the image of Ekin Cheng, Gao Xu felt at first glance that Dai Heng was not suitable for that hairstyle. Some hairstyles look good, but they are picky about the face.But these are not problems. Now that the people have arrived, Gao Xu needs to get to know them a little bit.Gao Xu pressed the phone on the desk, "Xiao Yu, ask him to come to the office to meet.""Okay." Xiao Yu said into the phone outside, his voice coming from the desk inside.Dai Heng came in from the door with a bag on his
