Chapter 15 The beacon rises

Do you know Taibai Mountain?”

"What's too white..."

Su Dawei was slightly stunned, and then he thought that during the Tang Dynasty, Changbai Mountain was called Taibai Mountain.

His gaze fell on the Fuyu royal family in front of him.

This is a young man in his twenties, wearing the clothes of the servants in the mansion when he was running away, and his coarse cloth short clothes were washed white.

But it is still neat and there are no patches. It can be seen that life is not too bad for those who are servants in their house.

Su Dawei's eyes fell on the other party's hands.

The palms are fair and clean, without a trace of roughness or calluses, and the nails are neatly trimmed, which is indeed what a noble man from a wealthy family can do.

Finally, his eyes moved to the other person's face.

His face was pale and his eyes were wandering.

But this does not mean that the other party must be telling lies. On the contrary, from a royal family to a prisoner, perhaps this is the normal reaction.

Zhou Liang and Nan Jiulang have been trying this person before, and this is the first time Su Dawei has.

After simply looking at the other person and forming the first impression, Su Dawei spoke: "Tell me about the dragon vein."

There is no twists and turns, just one step forward.

For such a cowardly and without strong will, a noble man must show strong strength, so strong that he cannot have a trace of cunning and rebellious heart in order to speak out the truth.

With Su Dawei's voice, the whale oil lamp in the tent flashed rapidly.

The shadow cast by Su Dawei on the tent seemed to be infinitely extended until the entire tent was wrapped.

This is a kind of "momentum".

Sure enough, the young man in front of him turned pale.

It was so white that there was no trace of blood.

This is actually a very strange color.

Because under the light of whale oil lamps, normal people always have some yellow and orange skin tones.

But Fu Yuqing in front of him had a pale face, as white as white paper.

Gudu…

His thin neck and protruding Adam's apple squirmed up and down.

Then, he said in a slightly nervous voice: "Do you know Taibai Mountain?"

"What's too white..."

Su Dawei was slightly stunned.

Then I remember that Taibai Mountain was Changbai Mountain in later generations.

The main peak of the Changbai Mountains is located in the southeast of Jilin Province in later generations. It is the birthplace of the Yalu River, Songhua River and Tumen River.

It is also a cultural holy mountain for the Manchu and Koreans in later generations.

In fact, Changbai Mountain has been recorded in ancient times. In "Shan Hai Jing", it is called "Buxian Mountain", saying: There are mountains in the great wilderness, called Buxian, and are in the country of Sushen.

The Northern Wei Dynasty called it "Tu Taishan".

It was called "Taibai Mountain" in the Tang Dynasty.

"What do you mean is the Baekje Dragon Vein is in Taibai Mountain?" Su Dawei thought for a moment and then asked.

When he said this, he pressed the table with both hands, leaned forward slightly, staring at Fu Yuqing, whose face was pale, and his eyes gradually became sharp.

"Yes...yes, as far as I know, there is the land of Sanhan, the source of living water, and...and..."

Speaking of two words, his tongue seemed to be tied into a knot, and he couldn't tell the reason for a long time.

The fear on his face became stronger and stronger, as if it had brought back some bad memories.

Su Dawei moved his body a little back a little, reducing the pressure on him a little, and pondered: "Don't worry, think about it slowly, and then tell me what's going on there."

I was thinking in my mind: According to ancient books, Buxian Mountain means a mountain of immortals.

All ethnic groups in Liaodong, such as Sushen, Woju, Yu, Fuyu, Xianbei, Goguryeo, Mongolia, Khitan, etc., all admire the mountain god totem.

Could it be that there are really dragon veins from the peninsula in this mountain?

If the Han people in the Central Plains are real dragons.

Then what kind of dragon is this peninsula?

By the way, the dragon veins in the Central Plains extend from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and from the Snow Mountains.

A large amount of ice and snow melted, and millions of tributaries gathered into the four holy rivers, and then turned into the mother rivers of the Central Plains, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.

The Kunlun Mountains originated from the high source, with countless layers of rock stacked, and the mountain bones were like a giant dragon's ridge and rugged back, extending to the east. Finally, the Qinling Mountains were formed in the Guanzhong area, dividing the Central Plains into north and south.

The dragon veins in the Central Plains are the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, the Qinling Mountains, and the Kunlun.

Mountains are bones, and rivers are blood.

Raise hundreds of millions of people.

If we look at this, as the source of Changbai Mountain at the source of countless mother rivers on the peninsula, there may be spiritual energy such as dragon veins.

"I said, can you protect me?"

Fu Yuqing thought for a long time and spoke again. His mouth became much more flexible and he no longer had the previous stuttering.

It seemed that he had already thought it through.

"What?"

"If I say it, it will reveal the biggest secret of the Fuyu royal family, and will be chased by the tribe members in the future and will never end."

Su Dawei was stunned for a moment: "The Fuyu royal family has been escorted to the Tang Dynasty, so how could anyone know about you?"

"But Fuyufeng is still there, he will definitely come back."

Su Dawei pressed the table with one hand: "It's not certain whether Fuyufeng will come back or not, but if you don't explain the dragon vein to me clearly, you may not see the sun tomorrow."

"I……"

Fu Yuqing's body suddenly stiffened, his pupils shrank slightly, and his face was pale, and he was stunned for a long time.

Just when Su Dawei was a little impatient, Fu Yuqing finally surrendered.

His waist was hunched, his hands were holding his head, and he said in a trembling, fearful voice: "I said, I told you that you must protect my integrity, don't... don't let them find me!"

"who are they?"

"No, they are not, not people..."

"What?"

Su Dawei repeatedly chewed the meaning of this sentence, but he was confused for a while.

"Prince!"

Someone outside the tent called out softly.

Su Dawei interrogated Fu Yuqing alone this time. There was no one else in the tent, and he also gave instructions in advance. If there was nothing important, don't disturb him.

"What's up?"

"The chief lieutenant, there is an emergency military situation."

Su Dawei frowned. At this time, emergency military information was not a good sign.

He glanced at it, knelt across from Fu Yuqing, still in a daze.

Not knowing what happened, I suddenly felt that this person was a little strange.

It's like losing your soul.

Shaking his head, he stood up and walked out of the tent, seeing that it was Nan Kyuro who came outside.

"Kyuro, what's the matter?"

"Su Shuai..."

Nan Jiulang looked around and took a step forward half a step, covered it with his hands, almost pressing against Su Dawei's ears and said, "A batch of food and grass was robbed."

"Um?"

Su Dawei's eyebrows pounded, and the uneasy and ominous feeling became more and more profound.

"what is going on?"

Things are not complicated. First of all, the current food and grass supply problem of the Wantang army in Baekje is about the Wantang replenishment.

Originally, when I was in Baekje, I had to transport grain with the ship, but the grain was only enough for the army to use for two months.

The rest need to be raised on site.

The Tang army fought against the outside world and always advocated the goal of eating out of the enemy to reduce its logistical pressure.

This time, more than 100,000 soldiers ate horses and chewed them, and the cost was amazing.

Fortunately, Su Dingfang used his troops quickly and conquered Baekje in half a month.

After more than a month of stability, he took the Yici King of Baekje and the Baekje royal family, the heads of the aristocratic family, princes and nobles, and all important people on a large ship to return to the Tang Dynasty to offer prisoners and praise Li Zhi.

The people left, but the food and grass were almost eaten.

Now, half of the more than 10,000 troops are raised from all over Baekje.

The other half relies on the transport of grain from the Silla people.

The food and grass in Baekje are quite unstable, and sometimes there will be a loss of time. Sometimes local officials even say that they cannot collect the food and grass and let the Tang army solve the problem by themselves.

This situation made the Tang army so angry that smoke came from the seven orifices.

Without food, there will be chaos in the army.

This forced the army to send grain search teams to go deep into the villages and sweep the food and grass everywhere, further deepening the conflicts with Baekje.

In fact, there is no way to collect food.

It’s just that the officials of Baekje are all local aristocratic families and clans who deliberately favor the people, do not collect land, grain rent, and let the Tang army take the blame for the infamous reputation.

Before the Tang army came, these aristocratic families plundered the people, but they never felt lenient.

I only hate Tang’s soldiers and insufficient officials, so I am really unable to effectively manage all the prefectures, counties and towns in Baekje.

In name, Baekje is now occupied by the Tang Dynasty.

But in fact, except for some places near Siqian, the control of the Tang army was constantly shrinking.

For the time being, we can only stabilize the situation and wait for the further decree of the court.

Therefore, there must be no problem in logistics.

But the more you fear, the more you will be.

What happened this time was Silla's food delivery team.

On the way to Siqian, he was robbed in Huangshan.

It is said that he was a general in Baekje before, and he had a group of people to occupy the mountain and become king.

I don’t know why the Silla people are so careless.

If the food and grass are robbed, will new food be transported in for a while?

The more than 10,000 Tang troops in Siqi City could only rely on plundering a little, eating less, and tightening their belts to live.

But even so, it can only support more than a month at most.

If the Silla people's grain transport team cannot send new food and grass in one month, hunger will occur in the Tang army and even greater turmoil.

"Su Shuai, what are you thinking?"

Nan Jiulang finished talking about the matter to Su Dawei. Seeing that Su Dawei was silent and silent, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

Su Dawei shook his head: "This place of Huangshan reminds me of someone."

"who?"

"Qibo."

"Well, didn't Jie Bo die in that battle on the border?"

"Yes, but sometimes, the dead may be resurrected."
