    Yang Xiong didn't know this, and thought that His Highness Taisun would also enjoy the scenery.  £¤f. Although he was the deputy commander of the Eastern Route Army, he also personally commanded 10,000 elite troops dispatched by the emperor, including 1,000 heavy cavalry.  But he didn't know exactly what happened in Tianmen Pass last night.  At that time, Yi Feng asked him to stay outside the city to command the army, but he didn't care. His Highness just wanted to check on the Black Mountain bandits that were captured by the garrison in Tianmenguan Town.  Therefore, when Yi Feng said today that he was going to return to Taiyuan and change his route, Yang Xiong really didn't think of anything else.  Therefore, at this time, he really didn't know that Yi Feng was actually returning to Taiyuan to fight. He also didn't know that in the bridgehead on the opposite side, Wang Yan and other Yang Liang's confidants were already there.  While waiting with suspicion, he was also secretly mobilizing troops and horses, and there was an invisible murderous intention in the air.  "The prince knows Taiyuan City very well." Yi Feng said with a smile.  "Who can't understand Taiyuan? This is the second city in the world during the Sui Dynasty. Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it was once the most important place in the north and even the entire world. Let's just say that Taiyuan City, the capital of Bingzhou, actually has three parts, east and west.  Among them, the West City in front of your highness, which is close to Fenshui River, was the ancient city of Jinyang. Its oldest history can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is said that it was built by Dong Anyu in "Historical Records".  "The emperor attacked Zhao Xiangzi in Jinyang and diverted the Fen River to flood the city, but the city was not flooded in three editions." This is what Yang Xiong said when talking about this famous city in the north. He was a great leader at that time.  When the Sui Dynasty was on the battlefield, he was stationed in Taiyuan, so he returned here again.  For him, who has been leisurely in the capital for many years, it means a lot.  Here is his youth and his passion.  There is his bloody battlefield.  He looked excited, "Taiyuan during the Qin, Han, Wei and Jin dynasties basically maintained the scale of the ancient city of Jinyang when it was first built, but it was destroyed many times in wars. During the Northern Qi Dynasty, Emperor Wenxuan built Jinyang in Dong Anyu  The Daming Palace was built on the ancient city, which was later expanded into a city. It was called Daming City because it was four feet high and four miles around. Later, a new city was built in the north of Daming City, and Emperor Xiaojing of the Eastern Wei Dynasty built Jinyang Palace here.  It was expanded to Jinyang City. After His Majesty came to the throne, it was changed to a new city and the Jinyang Palace City was expanded to a scale of seven miles and four feet high in Zhouhui. In the 16th year, another warehouse city was built, connected to the new city in the east.  The Cangcheng was four feet high and eight miles around, thus forming a three-linked city. After the King of Han took office as the governor of Bingzhou, he built an outer city wall outside the three cities and called it Bingzhou Fucheng.  , the people also called it the West City. "After these three connected cities were built together, it was just the West City of Taiyuan.  It¡¯s not just the Three Liancheng cities of Taiyuan.  In fact, Taiyuan Sanlian City refers to the West City, Middle City and East City Sanlian City.  And the three connected cities in front of us.  It's just the three connected cities in the West City.  ??Yi Feng sighed again and again, compared to the square and square capital city of Chang'an City with clearly defined lanes.  Taiyuan City, a chain of cities that surrounds the city, is undoubtedly superior in military defense.  The central and eastern cities of Taiyuan were also built after the founding of the Sui Dynasty. The east city was built not long after the founding of the country. In order to deal with the threat of Turks, the king of Jin was the general manager of Bingzhou at that time, but in fact the king of Wei Yang Shuang acted as the general manager. During this period, the king of Wei Yang  In the second year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, Shuang built an additional east city on the west bank of the Jin River, and the Taiyuan County government office was moved here the next year.  In the 13th year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, when King Yang Jun of Qin was in charge of Bingzhou, because the land east of Fen was rich in alkali and brine and was unpalatable, he specially diverted Jin water from Fen into Dongcheng to bring sweet food to the people, which was called Jin Canal.  Later, when Yang Guang was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou again, he built a central city across Fen to connect the east and west cities.  At this point, the architectural pattern in which the west, east, and middle cities of Taiyuan were integrated was formed.  ??The current architectural scale of the entire Taiyuan City is that among the Fen River, the West City is on the west side of the Fen River, and the East City is on the east bank. The center is built on the Fen River, across the river, and then connects the east and west cities.  The entire Taiyuan City is 4,321 steps long, 3,121 steps wide, 5,153 steps in circumference, and four feet high.  If converted, Taiyuan City is nine miles from north to south, twelve miles from east to west, and has a circumference of nearly fifty miles.  Among them, the West City is the largest, including Daming City, Jinyang City, which is the new city, and Cangcheng. In addition, there is a Daming Palace in Daming City, and a Jinyang Palace in the new city, which are basically intact.  These three cities within the city in Xicheng are in the shape of "pin" and are located in the Xicheng.  The three cities of Taiyuan form a line, with both ends reaching the east and west mountains, spanning the northern end of the Taiyuan Basin, with dragons and tigers dominating, serving as the key point from the north of the Taiyuan Basin to the Jinzhong Plain.  What a great place, there is nothing wrong with the dragon and the tiger.  Yi Feng really liked it more and more, and even felt a strong sense of possession.  Damn it, if I directly occupied this place, it would be a thousand times better than Huaihuang and Youzhou.  The two bridgeheads of Yurang Bridge are separated on both sides of the Fen River, like mirrors reflecting in pairs. The rushing river flows under the bridge. From a distance, Taiyuan City, which is a city within a city and a city connected to a city, even has a moat dug outside the city.  , directly introduces Fenhe River living water.  The moat is wide and deep, making Taiyuan City seem like an archipelago surrounded by lakes and rivers.  "Second brother, Liulang, you must be careful"??, let brothers be more vigilant, be cautious, and do not hesitate to take action once you find a situation.  "Yi Feng called Qin Shubao and Lai Liulang to his side to explain carefully. After seeing such a large and deep overall defense network in Taiyuan City, Yi Feng's carelessness in underestimating the enemy on the road has been completely abandoned. Such Taiyuan City,  It is simply a fortress built specifically for war, a killing machine. According to Sun Tzu's Art of War, "encircle an enemy by ten, attack it by five, fight if it is doubled, divide the enemy when it is small, defend it if it is small."  Can avoid it.  The general meaning is that if you have ten times the enemy's force, you will surround the enemy; if you have five times the enemy's force, you will attack the enemy; if you have one times the enemy's force, you will fight; if your force is evenly matched with the enemy's, then disperse the enemy; if your force is less than the enemy's, you will defend.  Avoid fighting if the enemy's troops are weak.  Now Yi Feng has more than 11,000 soldiers and horses, and according to intelligence, Yang Liang's private army alone has more than 20,000 in Taiyuan City, and there are also many city defense troops.  In addition, there are also many soldiers and horses stationed outside Taiyuan.  Taiyuan City is the headquarters of the Bingzhou Grand Administrative Office, with a large number of soldiers and horses, and the Bingzhou soldiers have always been known as a powerful force.  Now Yi Feng's military strength is obviously inferior to that of Taiyuan City, especially since Taiyuan City is such a war machine-level fortress. If we really want to attack it hard, there is no hope at all.  According to the art of war, he would have to avoid fighting in this situation.  Of course, things are not that bad.  Taiyuan City does not necessarily know about Tianmen Gate, and they are even less likely to know the true purpose of Yi Feng's return.  In addition, Yang Liang was not in Bingzhou at all, so the generals, soldiers and horses in Taiyuan City could not all be his enemies.  What we need to pay attention to now is to avoid direct combat, otherwise it will be very detrimental to them.  The best way is to capture the thief and the king, capture the confidant generals of Yang Liang in Bingzhou Prefecture, and then announce the assassination at Tianmen Pass in the name of the emperor's grandson, and use this as a reason to target Wang Kun and others  In addition, he announced that he would not pursue the case and implicated the other soldiers. Only by appeasing these soldiers could the matter be solved smoothly and without damage.  Of course, no matter how good the plan is, it won¡¯t be perfect.  In case something unexpected happens and you have to rely on swords and guns, it is always good to be prepared in advance.  "Black Otter, you lead the flag guard to follow me, and you will act according to my eyes. Once I give the order, you will immediately capture all the generals including Wang Kun and the prefecture." "The general will understand!" Qin Qiong, Lai Zheng  , Liu Heitai all took orders.  Yi Feng thought for a while and then confessed, "After we cross the bridge, I will ask to meet with the people from the Bingzhou Governor's Office at the east bank bridgehead. Then you will directly take over the control of the east bridgehead. Taiyuan City is too dangerous.  , let¡¯s not enter the city first, but capture the enemy¡¯s officials directly in the East Bridgehead, and capture the thief.¡± ¡°Understood!¡± Although the bridge is a cable bridge, the iron cables are very thick, and the river is not too wide.  After more than a dozen ropeways were paved with wooden planks, the rope bridge did not shake as much as expected when passing by. It was very balanced.  Qin Qiong and Laizheng were the first to cross the bridge with a thousand bodyguards and cavalry. The gate on the east bridgehead had already been raised, and Dou Luyu, the governor of Bingzhou, led the town general Li Jing and a group of cavalry to greet them.  "I'm here with Dou Luyu, the chief registrar of Bingzhou. This is the town general Li Jing." Dou Luyu took the initiative to say hello, while Li Jing behind him nodded to the two of them expressionlessly.  However, he seemed to be a little curious about Qin Qiong and looked them up and down.  Qin Qiong smiled at the two of them and introduced himself, "I am Qin Qiong, courtesy name Shubao. I am from Licheng, Shandong Province. This is the general here to rectify. We are all under the command of the grandson." Li Jing heard the second general used by Qin Qiong when introducing him.  Words, I couldn't help but be slightly surprised.  These two Huaihuang Cavalry soldiers were very young, probably less than twenty years old, especially this one, who was probably only seventeen or eighteen years old, but they were called generals.  You know, since the emperor reformed the ranks and honors officers many years ago, generals can no longer be called casually. Only officers of fourth and fifth ranks and above can be called generals, those of sixth and seventh ranks can only be called captains, and those of rank can only be called  The title of lieutenant, general, is a real senior officer, the lowest is the level of town general, and the higher-up general manager can already be called marshal.  Thinking about the battlefield when he was a teenager, he fought hundreds of battles from the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, and made countless achievements. Now he is just a fifth-grade general.  Although he also held the title of county duke and originally had the position of general manager, he was affected by the defeat of the Eastern Expedition and was demoted. After fighting for twenty or thirty years, in the end, his official rank was not as good as that of a little kid. It's really  Just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable.  (To be continued) u?¡­
