You can go to the north from Chang'an without passing through Bashang, go east to Hangu Pass, and go north from Hedong County. You can go straight to the north from Chang'an because there is a "straight road" left by the Qin Dynasty.

This straight road is one of several straight roads built by Qin Shihuang after he unified China. The starting point is the capital Xianyang and the end point is Jiuyuan County (now Baotou). This straight road project is huge and has not been completed until the Qin Dynasty is destroyed. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty emperor saw its huge value and summoned the people to rebuild it. After years of hard work, it was finally completed.

With this straight road, starting from Chang'an, it only takes a few days to reach the north, which is very convenient.

After leaving Shanglinyuan, I walked north, and soon I got on the straight road. As soon as I got on the straight road, I was just going to the Kangzhuang Avenue and just rode my horse and galloped.

Zhou Yang rode his horse and looked at this straight road that is well-known in history. The more he looked, the more shocked he felt. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe that our ancestors could have built such a strong and durable road more than two thousand years ago.

The road surface is solid and has been for decades. The road surface has not peeled off, is not damaged, is flat and smooth, and the vehicle will not bump when driving on it.

The road is wide enough to drive several carriages, and it will not be crowded. One carriage after another gallops by, riding people and picking up goods, regardless of the fact, it is like a crucian carp crossing the river, coming and going, countless.

Chang'an was the capital of the Han Dynasty and the center of the Han Dynasty. It absorbed goods from all over the country in an astonishing amount. The fur from the north and the fur of the Huns were even more popular, and it flowed into Chang'an in large quantities from this straight road. The number of vehicles on this straight road was amazing, which was not inferior to that of modern expressways.

There is a mountain in front, and the road to this place is like a modern winding mountain road, built into a shape of "Zhi" and circling up. After riding onto the top of the mountain, Zhou Yang looked around and saw the scene in the distance, with a bright heart. He really wanted to yell, if it weren't for the restraining of military orders.

When you encounter a valley, you either fill it in or build a bridge, which does not affect the passage at all.

This is the "mountain valley" written by Sima Qian.

Such a huge project can only be completed by the Qin Dynasty, which is known for its strength. Zhou Yang sighed.

"Zhou Yang, what are you thinking?"

Lu De, who was next to Zhou Yang, asked softly. During the march, you can just not make a loud noise and you are not allowed to speak in a low voice.

Zhou Yang woke up in shock and found that there were so many people nearby, and he was the only one interested in the straight road. I think Lu De and the others had walked for a long time, so they were not surprised: "It's nothing, this is my first time walking on the straight road, I'm very surprised."

"Haha!" Han Nuer's laughter sounded: "People who walk straight for the first time will be surprised."

"I have walked this straight three times, and each time I go to the battlefield." Zhao Qi took over the conversation, his face glowing red, and he was very excited: "When I talk about fighting the Huns, I thought, and my body was itchy. However, when I arrived at the border, there was no war. The Huns came and went like the wind, and there were not many opportunities to meet the Huns. If I really encountered it, it would be a great fortune."

The word "fighting for the great fortune" reveals how many men's passions are!

The Huns were rampant, and the ministers in the court heard that they were brave enough. Only passionate men like them would have such a passionate passion!

"I wonder what this time is? Can you meet the Huns?" Su Jian looked north and spoke slowly: "I hope I won't run away like before."

"This time the military situation is urgent, probably not!" Han Nuer pondered for a moment.

Su Jian began to complain: "The reason why we are unhappy in the fight is not the ministers in the court. They swayed all day long, saying that the Huns came without a trace and went without a trace, and they were all nonsense! Think about it, when Meng Tian's 300,000 troops fought with the Huns in Hetao, and fought the Huns for thousands of miles north. Jia Yi said that Hu Buda..."

I couldn't remember it any more and scratched my forehead.

Han Nuer, Zhao Qi and Lu De have not read many books, so naturally they don’t know what Jia Yi said.

"Hu didn't dare to go south and shed his horse!" Zhou Yang reminded.

"That's it!" Su Jianda was excited: "At that time, the Huns didn't even dare to go to Yinshan to shed horses. They also had timid times! I wonder at that time, who could fight against the soldiers of the previous dynasty?"

"It's all those slogans who speak nonsense!"

Their discussion immediately aroused the echoes of the troops next to them. Your words and my words were all about praising the martial arts of the Qin Dynasty. When they talked about ministers in the court, there was nothing good about them, and they all cursed them.

Two thousand years later, the Qin Dynasty was still famous for its "tyranny of Qin", and was scolded as cruel and unkind, and Qin Shihuang even scolded as a tyrant. However, in the minds of these soldiers, Qin Huang's heroic spirit was so cute, and Zhou Yang was very surprised.

The morale of the army is available! Zhou Yang came to the conclusion.

The one who talked the most along the way was to fight the Huns, and the one who praised the most was the battle of Qin Shihuang to send Meng Tian to defeat the Huns. That battle was vivid in Sima Tan's writings, and it was like being immersive. Zhou Yang listened to the soldiers' discussions and recalled Sima Tan's wonderful writing, which made him feel passionate.

Marching on the straight road, you can march for hundreds of miles in one day. When you walk at sunrise, you will stay in the dark. Five days later, you will arrive at Yanmen County.

Yanmen County is a military town in the north of the Han Dynasty, with a large army stationed here. Feng Jing, the prefect of Yanmen County, was a thin middle-aged man, but very strong. His eyes were as bright as pearls, embedded in his eyes. When he heard that Jianzhangying arrived, he was overjoyed and came to reward the army in person, bringing countless mutton, wine and meat.

After marching for several days, I didn’t feel tired, mainly because it made people feel uncomfortable and wanted to take a shower. While resting in Yanmen, Zhou Yang took a shower happily, and then slept with his head in his arms. After resting, he must go to the most dangerous place. If he really wants to fight, sleeping can only be a dream and he must nourish his spirit.

There are many people who think this way. Although Gongsun He did not give an order, the soldiers stayed in the camp and rested.

The next day, the army set off and headed north to an Antao place to station.

The Antao is not big, and it is a long and thick city. It is a truly "fortress" with no people, only 500 soldiers garrisoned.

But it is an important place. Behind it is Yanmen County, on the left is Yunzhong, Dingxiang, and on the right is Youbeiping, which blocks several of the most important cities of the Han Dynasty. If the Huns wanted to attack these cities, they would encounter the obstacles of Jianzhangying. Even if they were to go around, their retreat would be cut off.

You should know that Jianzhang Camp is full of cavalry, with familiar cavalry, and action is like the wind, and the speed is not inferior to the Huns. No matter which method the Huns choose, they will be attacked by Jianzhang Camp. Gongsun Hexuan stationed here, which is clearly a battle with the Huns.

This is a border city, and there is endless grassland in front of you. A gust of wind blows, rustling, bursts of grass waves, tumbling away, and it is so magnificent.

Further forward, there is the great Great Wall, like a giant dragon, winding away, and I don’t know where it finally came.

After crossing the Great Wall, it was the territory of the Huns, where no Han army had been there for decades.

"Collection! There is an enemy situation!"
