    (Thanks to Songlin Botao and Yingdao¡ï for their support, thank you!) Tianmen Pass, also known as Guimen Pass, is one of the three passes in Taiyuan.  ¡ò After the morning fog cleared, it was a rare sunny day.  Yi Feng sat astride the horse and looked at Tianmen Pass in the distance.  Tianmen Pass, formerly known as Qianzhu Valley, has been a choke point since ancient times.  Taiyuan has been the center of an important town in the north since ancient times. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and blocked by rivers on one side. The terrain is dangerous and solid, just like Qin and Shu.  In ancient times, three Xiongguan passes were set up to prevent foreign invasion. They are the so-called three passes of Taiyuan, namely Tianmen Pass, Chitang Pass and Shiling Pass. Among them, Tianmen Pass is the first pass in the north of Taiyuan.  Among these three passes, Tianmen Pass has the most dangerous terrain, while Shiling Pass and Chitang Pass are in the most important locations.  Tianmen Pass is called Tianmen Pass because the two mountains are like a gate, located in the main part of the county.  Twenty miles north of Tianmen Pass is Lingjingyi, and fifty miles further north is Whisao Pass, also known as Lingjingkou, which is an important garrison pass for military strategists.  Lingjingkou is connected together, starting and ending with each other. The mountains are dangerous and the valley is deep, so it is also called Qizhu Valley.  Between the cliffs on the east side of the valley, there is a plank road called Yangguang Road.  Originally named Sheep Intestine, it was later rebuilt when Yang Guang was in charge of Bingzhou in Taiyuan.  "Why did King Jin build this plank road?" Yi Feng asked Liu Wenjing on the horse's side.  Liu Wenjing knew this, and said: "This plank road was originally built to manage the Fenyang Palace's way to escape the summer heat on Mount Lu. This plank road has existed since ancient times, but it was destroyed long ago. Later, the king of Jin rebuilt it.  The danger is comparable to that of the Sichuan Plank Road, especially the Tianzhan and Haobopo Plank Roads in front. The local people have a saying to describe the danger of this plank road, which means that pedestrians will die if they fall or bend over.  "I'm worried when I pass by." At this time, Wen Yanhong and Wen Dayac came immediately. He was from Qixian County, Bingzhou.  He is a native of Hedong and is obviously much more familiar with Tianmen Pass than Liu Wenjing.  He took the initiative to introduce it to Yi Feng: "The terrain here is dangerous. It also has a rare and unique scenery, which is called Tianmen Snow. Compared with the snow-capped mountains in other places, this place is unique and is known as one of the eight scenic spots in Taiyuan.  A gorge is thirty miles long, deep and cold, so there is a lot of snow. "Compared with Liu Wenjing, who is more concerned about the military and dangerous characteristics of Tianmen Pass, Wen Daya is more concerned about the scenery of Tianmen Pass.  Tianmen Pass is built at the foot of Tianmen Mountain, which is a hump of the thousands-mile Luliang Mountains in Taiyuan.  Behind the hump is a large canyon formed by the ice age orogeny.  Two mountains sandwich a valley, thirty miles deep.  The canyon is locally called Lingjingou, and the north entrance of the canyon is Lingjingkou.  The western edge of the ditch is the main body of the Luliang Mountains with thousands of miles of mountains.  Whenever it rains heavily, flash floods break out, and water falls from the sky and pours into the valley like an overwhelming mountain.  The valley water stirs up the rocks, the water and rocks roll together, and the cows roar and thunder, which is very dangerous.  Whenever a flood passes, the bluestones washed away at the bottom of the valley are rugged and as clear as a mirror.  Local people call this valley water sweeping valley water.  After leaving Tianmen Pass, the Saogu River passes through the Baiban border and flows eastward into the Fen River.  Tianmen Pass stands on the northern border of Taiyuan, and is the choke point from Taiyuan Prefecture to northwest Shanxi, but no one dares to take risks at the bottom of the valley.  Yang Guang was cutting mountain frame wood on the east wall of the canyon.  After the plank road was built, the stone stacks and ladders were connected to each other, but the road was dangerous.  One man can guard the gate, but ten thousand men cannot open it.  The snow stopped and the sky cleared.  The earth is covered with silver and the sky is filled with red sun.  The sun shines on the earth.  Falling in the snowy mountain canyon, the thick snow glows brightly.  Standing in the snow under the sun, a cold wind came from the canyon, the chill was bone-chilling. Before the water vapor atomized in the sun had time to flow, it condensed into ice again, wrapping the branches and weeds.  , wrapped around the rocks, the entire hillside and canyon gradually turned into a world of crystal clear ice, and the dry branches turned into jade leaves and crystal corals.  Yi Feng only saw the blue sky, the white clouds, the bright mountains, and the beautiful Tianmen snow.  No wonder Wen Daya praised the scenery here so much. It is indeed a rare beauty.  At this time, an eagle flew out from behind the mountain and hovered high above the mountain, seeming to be curiously looking at the army that suddenly appeared here.  "This beautiful scenery, but it also contains an incomparable danger. It's like thinking about the gate of heaven and the gate of ghost."  Yi Feng watched the infinite scenery for a while, then waved his hand with some unfinished meaning: "Enter the pass!" The team continued to move forward, but Yi Feng did not move, but he was among the team that continued to move forward into the canyon.  flag.  Liu Wenjing stood next to Yi Feng, "Be careful when sailing the ten-thousand-year-old ship. Let the substitute cross the valley and enter the pass first. No matter whether it is intentional or not, we will be safe. Your Highness only needs to sit here and watch the storm." Although it has happened.  After careful analysis, the staff team already believed that the intelligence sent by Teko was very credible. Since the other party planned to take action inside Tianmen Pass, rather than arranging to take action at Lingjingyi north of Tianmen Pass or at the entrance of Lingjing further north,  That shows that the other party really has no intention of attacking the army directly. After all, there is no easier place to attack than in the Grand Canyon, which is thirty miles away. Whether you are walking through the canyon or the plank road, it is a dangerous and dangerous terrain, and you can ambush.  Okay, one can be used as ten.?But now that the other party has placed their attack at the south entrance of the canyon, this worry can be completely eliminated.  However, Liu Wenjing and others still believed that they were not afraid of anything but 10,000. Before getting rid of those people, it was best to have a substitute replace him in the army, while Yi Feng disguised himself and followed behind in the rear team, just in case.  "I hope those guys won't let us down." Yi Feng said with a chuckle.  "If they could really give up their idea at the last minute, I don't think they would have hastily formulated such a plan full of loopholes." Liu Wenjing was full of confidence in this plan to lure snakes out of their holes and catch them all in one fell swoop.  This is the first important task he has presided over after joining Yi Feng's staff. He is full of energy now and hopes that Yang Liang's subordinates will expand.  "I hope this is a misunderstanding." Wen Daya shook his head and said. Once the information is true and Yang Liang's people in Tianmen Pass really take action, then the uncle and nephew, the emperor's grandson and the king of Han, will be incompatible with each other.  One side has to fall.  Wen Daya felt that now was not the time to engage in such a fierce conflict. Even if he knew the other party's plan, it was better to let the other party know about it and let the other party retreat, instead of completely breaking up and leaving no room for change. After all, the emperor  Taisun was newly enthroned not long ago, and now he is leaving Youzhou to lead the Eastern Route Army in the Northern Expedition. At this time, he is caught in such a fight with the King of Han. What will the emperor think and what will the officials think?  An unsolved assassination has just occurred in the capital.  Now do it again?  We have trapped a King of Jin before, so we are going to trap a King of Han?  Kill a thousand enemies.  He was very disapproving of this kind of making enemies on all sides.  The practice of firing everywhere.  In his opinion, the most important thing for them is to maintain the current situation, focusing on balance and stabilizing the status of the emperor's grandson.  After all, the status of Taisun's father, His Royal Highness, is not stable. If Taisun does too much here, once the emperor is dissatisfied, the current good situation will be completely ruined.  Unfortunately, Yi Feng did not listen to his opinion on this matter.  After he entered Taisun Mansion and became a bachelor.  Many times, Taisun would listen to his advice, but at this critical moment, he was completely unwilling to listen to his advice.  "Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. As for those poisonous snakes, once we have the opportunity, we have to hit them seven inches above the stick with a stick and kill them directly. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles if the snake is not beaten to death. Poisonous snakes  Even a poisonous snake will never remember your kindness in letting him go." Yi Feng had no good impression of Yang Liang, although he now vaguely felt that Yang Liang was not behind the assassination in Beijing, but even so.  This can't change Yang Liang's malice towards him.  Once there is a chance, Yang Liang will never let go of the opportunity to attack him, just like this time.  Yang Liang's plan is very crazy.  The enemy respects me a foot, and I give him a foot in return.  A lunatic like Yang Liang.  How could Yi Feng be patient?  It's okay if there is no chance, since there is a good opportunity to fight back against Yang Liang.  Then he will never let it go.  Patience will not dispel the enemy's malicious intent, it will only make them think that you are weak and can be bullied.  Yi Feng dismounted, wore an ordinary officer's uniform, walked to the door with a team of elite guards, went to the temple on the mountain to climb up to watch the snow, and wait for the results of Guanzhong.  After Yi Feng climbed halfway up the mountain and entered a small and quiet mountain temple, his mood was still a little hard to calm down.  The most ruthless imperial family, the royal power struggle can be said to be the most fierce struggle in the world. For the throne, once involved, it will be a life-or-death situation.  Surrounding the battle for the throne, those princes and grandchildren who are qualified and able to initiate the fight have no such thing as brotherly affection at all.  There are still many people and families who will choose to form a team around these princes and grandsons, divide into one force after another to fight each other, and join forces until the final result is determined. Sometimes, even the losers are not the same.  They will not accept defeat and will fight against all odds.  Historically, Yang Jian had only five sons, all of whom were legitimate sons.  In the early years, the eldest son Yang Yong was made the crown prince. However, the crown prince for nineteen years was eventually deposed and the second son Yang Guang was made instead.  At that time, the third son Yang Jun had already been poisoned by the princess and died.  After Yang Guang became the crown prince, Yang Jian was still worried about the fourth son Yang Xiu, who was the bravest among the princes. He acquiesced in Yang Guang's attack on Yang Xiu and finally escorted the fourth son who had been in charge of Shuzhong for 20 years back to the capital for confinement.  Removing military power officials cleared the way for Yang Guang.  Only the youngest son had only been out of Beijing for a few years. Yang Jian doted on this son and did not touch him.  But after Yang Jian's death, his younger son Yang Liang, who Yang Jian thought was not very powerful, still raised the flag of rebellion without hesitation and opposed his second brother's succession.  Think about Yang Guang again. As soon as he succeeded to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he immediately poisoned his eldest brother, the deposed former prince, and then not even spared any of the eldest brother's ten sons. He said they were exiled, but half of them were exiled.  On the way, they sent people to kill them all one by one.  Not only did Yang Guang kill his threatening brothers and nephews to eliminate future troubles, he even killed the sons of his uncle, King Wei Yang Shuang, and several other clan members who had not stood by him to support him.?? fell off.  It¡¯s not that Yang Guang is ruthless. In fact, he believes that if another son of Yang Jian succeeds, it will basically be the same.  If the two brothers Yang Xiu and Yang Liang were replaced, they would probably be more ruthless than Yang Guang.  He couldn¡¯t help but think about how far he should go to fight back against Yang Liang this time.  He showed no intention of pursuing the assassination of the capital before, and even defended Yang Guangda, who was suspected.  This was not because of his good temper, nor because of his secret relationship with Yang Guang. In addition to the fact that he felt that Yang Guang was not the mastermind behind the scenes, it was also because he had an empty foundation in Beijing at the time and could not speak hard words.  But it¡¯s different now. He has left Beijing and arrived in Taiyuan. Not far to the north is his base camp, Huaihuang.  If things get serious, he doesn't have to worry too much about Yang Liang's counterattack. The worst he can do is follow the instructions and not the announcement.  Indeed, Yi Feng got a lot of benefits from his visit to the capital that he had never dared to imagine, but it also made him a little impetuous and impatient. He did not want to enter the capital again unless he brought his army with him.  He no longer wants to bow his head and be a bastard, nor does he want to be someone else's pawn and be manipulated by others.  He wants to make the decision himself, and now he has good strength to support him.  ¡°Then, if he wants to make things bigger, then what he needs is a more comprehensive consideration, making a decision before taking action.  It is foolish to act rashly without making comprehensive preparations in advance.  As he said just now, if you kill the snake, there will be endless troubles.  "Call Liu Wenjing." He told Yuchi Gong, "Call Li Mi as well, and also call Feng Deyi, Du Yan, Wang Gui, and Li Baiyao. No matter what they are doing, let them  Come here immediately." Yu Chigong nodded and left.  Yi Feng didn't ask anyone to call Li Gang, Wang Tong, Bao Kai, Xiao Gai, Sanwen Sanyan and other people to come over. Although these people were all famous Confucian scholars and talented people, what Yi Feng needed now were those who were good at maneuvering and proficient in means.  People are the kind of people who are not bound by ordinary legal principles.  Yi Feng valued Liu Wenjing very much. He felt that although he was a scholar, he was not the kind of person who clung to books. He was very adaptable, like a poisonous snake, and he was steady and ruthless in doing things. He had a bit of Yang Su's demeanor.  , which made him like it very much.  Another person under him who is very similar to Liu Wenjing is Feng Deyi. This guy is a young version of Yang Su, full of bad intentions, and very good at pretending.  Li Baiyao, Du Yan, and Wang Gui are not bad, but they are also very pragmatic.  Among these people, Li Mi is relatively young, but he has a good brain and can be very clear. It is suitable for him to participate in secrets and be responsible for running errands. Yi Feng still likes to have a smart person like Li Mi as his secretary.  Although Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin and others around him are more loyal and reliable, they are still too young and the city is not deep. Although their martial arts are good, they are only suitable for being close guards. In other aspects, they are still far behind.  .  Yi Feng called Jia Xiong and Liu Heitai again. One of them was the director of the Teko River East Division, and the other was the captain of the flag guard.  Yi Feng plans to retaliate in his own way, blood for blood and tooth for tooth. Yang Liang is not the only one in the world who can conspire and assassinate. I can do it too, and I will definitely do it better than you.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
