last update Last Updated: 2024-08-03 14:45:30

Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin, had already thought of withdrawing his troops to Guilin Prefecture. He sent people to Pingle Prefecture City and ordered the prefect Chen Yongsheng to mobilize ships and build a floating bridge on the Lechuan River in the north of the city.

Guilin Prefecture is located to the north and west of this place. To march towards Guilin, one must cross the Lechuan River, which flows roughly from north to south.

But before noon, Wu Gao received a reply from Chen Yongsheng. In the letter, Chen Yongsheng said that Pingle Prefecture had sufficient food and grass, and invited the Marquis of Jiangyin to station in the city. However, he did not mention the construction of the pontoon bridge.

After reading the letter, Wu Gao was immediately furious and blurted out, "Even a prefect wants to bargain with me? This Chen Yongsheng is too bold!"

Before the army arrived at Pingle Prefecture, Wu Gao made some promises to Chen Yongsheng in order to

    On the afternoon of August 12, the northwest wind was still blowing in the mountains of Pingle Prefecture, and the sun was occasionally visible in the clouds.The large number of Wu Gao's troops in the hilly area to the west were slowly retreating. The two armies had been in a state of confrontation since yesterday, but only a small-scale fierce battle took place on the Han Wang army's vanguard side; and now the main force of the enemy army began to retreat again.Several generals around Zhu Gaoxu immediately rushed to request orders to pursue the enemy!But Zhu Gaoxu shook his head without hesitation and said, "The situation this time is completely different from the situation when we were chasing Xue Lu's army before. The terrain here is undulating, which is not conducive to the army's rapid advancement; Wu Gao has not gathered the main force of the army together. Moreover, the enemy has not been defeated, and their morale and combat effectiveness have not

    Heavy rain was falling slantingly in the northwest wind, and the boat bridge on the river was hazy in the rain, as if shrouded in fog.The long procession of soldiers and horses moved slowly in the rain. Some wore straw hats, a few wore straw raincoats, and some soldiers had no shelter from the rain and marched in the rain.The roads in the wild were not paved with bricks or stones. After a whole night of rain, the roads had been trampled by countless people and horses this morning and were already muddy.The conditions at this time were limited. There was no need for a major natural disaster. Just an ordinary rain would slow down the army's movement. The distance from Pingle Prefecture to Yangshuo County was less than 60 miles. If the weather was good, the army could reach the place in less than two days. However, given the current road conditions, the army would have difficulty reaching Yangshuo County in three days with a large number of vehicles and bagg

    Zhu Gaoxu resisted the burning of his head and got up. He was feeling hazy all day long.He was more confused than being drunk. He probably remembered what he had done, but he couldn't tell the sequence afterwards. He seemed to have gone to a military camp. He wet his trousers and changed his clothes. He also summoned some generals and asked them to stop the rumors in the military camps within a radius of two to three miles.It's more uncomfortable than getting a knife. The knife only causes local pain. Being sick causes the whole body to feel weak, panicked and painful from the inside out, even if it's just a small high fever or typhoid fever.Zhu Gaoxu returned to the camp of the Chinese army and lay down again. After sleeping for a while, he remembered that the army did not break camp today, and it was inexplicably delayed for a day.Between falling asleep and waking up, he had all kinds of nightmares. Sometimes what he dreams about is something tha

    In the yard outside the lobby of Pinglefu Government Office, it was still stormy. The wind brought light rain to the eaves, and the eaves and thresholds of some offices were wet.There were many officials and several military generals in the lobby. They were sitting or standing, whispering to each other from time to time, as if waiting for something.Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but everyone is obviously not waiting for the festival celebration, the atmosphere is wrong.What's more, Wu Gao's army crossed the river and left Pingle Mansion three days ago, at midnight on the 12th. When Pingle City's troops were very empty, the Han Dynasty's rebel army (Chen Zhen's tribe) had already arrived at the city.The messenger of the rebels outside the city was in the signing room behind the lobby. No one among the government officials clamored to send the envoy to the army camp. They were all waiting for the outcome of the discussion between the prefect and t

    On the morning of August 16, it rained a little, but then it cleared up and the sun came out around noon. The roads were therefore much drier, and the Han army's marching speed also increased.Based on the report from the scouts, Zhu Gaoxu estimated that the army would reach the Lijiang River ferry east of Yangshuo County by evening today.The sky is cloudy, there is wind on the ground, and the sun occasionally shines through the clouds.Another messenger came from the front, and Zhu Gaoxu and his team left the main road and stopped at the side of the army. Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his right hand, straightened the letter paper swaying in the wind, and buried his head in reading.He is still quite weak, but the high fever went away the morning before yesterday. Because he didn't get enough rest, his main discomfort now is a slight headache, slow thinking, and pain in his throat when swallowing. I guess his tonsils are inflamed, and these symptoms will pr

    It was just dawn, and the wet banks of the Li River were covered with fog. Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse and crossed a floating bridge with the civil and military officials and personal soldiers of the central army. When he looked back, he saw countless soldiers gradually coming out of the white fog.Countless torches became blurred in the hazy air; from a distance, they looked like floating fireflies.There was no sound of drums or trumpets, just the sound of footsteps and the clanking of metals such as armor colliding gently all around. From time to time, there were a few coughs and the neighing of horses.After Zhu Gaoxu and his companions crossed the pontoon bridge, they came to the flat land on the south bank of the Li River, which looked like a triangular "peninsula". The location of the Han army was on the east side of the plain, which was the smallest corner of the "triangle" (the right side on the map).With such terrain, the Han army needed even f

    In the smoke-filled vegetable field, rows of soldiers marched forward side by side. The faces of the enemy soldiers less than ten steps away were already clear, and their expressions seemed distorted. They opened their mouths and shouted, as if they were extremely angry and filled with fear."The King of Han is our King..." the rebels shouted. Even the officers and soldiers of the government army could recite this phrase! Because everyone had heard it more than once.The shouts and screams from the crowd were so loud that they were deafening. It was as if everyone was shouting at the top of their lungs.Soon, the first rows of the two armies came into close combat! Screams and the clang of spears hitting shields were heard all around.People simply couldn't stop. The shields behind them almost stuck to the backs of the soldiers in the front row. Regardless of whether the people in front were willing or not, the crowd pushed forward and continued to adv

    "Wu Gao is about to run away!" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said.Night had already fallen, the muskets in the west were still flashing, the sound of firearms and the noisy voices echoed through the night sky. The battle was not over yet.However, the Han army continued to advance and had already crossed the central area of this plain. There was a large village in the middle, but now only the charred embers of the houses were left; the charred wood faintly revealed dark red charcoal cracks in the dark night, just like the terrible color of magma.The plain stretched to the bank of the Li River, which was completely dark; there was no light on the other side of the river in the distance. Originally, this flat and fertile land by the river should have been the most densely populated place, but the battle started here, and the people who could escape fled, and they dared not turn on the lights at night.To the north there was a vast expanse of darkness, with no sig

    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
