Guanzhong, Daxing.  ¡ü In the palace, Yang Xiu was checking the map, and Yuan Heng asked for a meeting in a panic.  "Something bad has happened. Yang Lin sent He Ruobi to command 100,000 Chinese Northern Expedition soldiers and 20,000 Turkic cavalry. They were leaving Taiyuan and marching towards Guanzhong. Yang Guang also sent 100,000 Jianghuai soldiers and horses to join the waterway and march west. Jingzhou, Yang Hong and Yizhou  Yang Zhao also sent 50,000 troops to join together." Upon hearing this, Yang Xiu hurriedly unfolded the map and studied it carefully.  ¡°If it¡¯s not my intention, Yang Lin didn¡¯t personally lead his Huaihuang Army to march westward, right?¡± Yang Xiu asked.  As the Minister of the Ministry of War, Yuan Heng had a good grasp of the military situation. He nodded quickly and said, "Your Majesty is right. According to the information obtained by Wei Chen, Yang Lin did not personally lead the troops south, but only sent He Ruobi to command 120,000 soldiers.  The Guanzhong soldiers and Turkic soldiers went south, while Yang Lin was still in Taiyuan. According to reports, Yang Lin was preparing to go south to Luoyang. In addition, Wei Chen also received an unconfirmed message that Yang Lin had recently disbanded no less than 200,000 Guandong Prefecture soldiers in Taiyuan.  , let them go home to harvest wheat, and dismissed the hundreds of thousands of civilians who had been recruited before and sent them back to their hometowns. I don¡¯t know whether this news is true or not.¡± ¡°It¡¯s probably true,¡± Yang Xiu hesitated.  As he stroked his big beard, a hint of shrewdness flashed through him.  "But this doesn't make sense. Why did Yang Lin disband his troops? He should take advantage of the situation and lead his army south and west into Guanzhong?" Yuan Heng simply couldn't understand why Yi Feng would do this.  Yang Xiu sneered.  "Character, you can know the way of thinking and behavior by looking at a person's character. Yang Lin is cunning and insidious. He has been speculating between Yang Yong and Yang Lin. He is wavering and knows how to flatter the late emperor, so he can be short-term.  He rises within a short period of time and possesses great strength. What this guy is best at is that he is very patient and can hardly hide. He will wait until the best time to strike, which is often a fatal blow to Yang Lingang.  I have studied the battle of Daibei. It is extremely remarkable. Besides, it is extraordinary that Yang Lin controlled Taiyuan. But after all, Yang Lin only controlled Guandong.  He is a horse thief, and his true confidants are the Huaihuang soldiers and horses. He has not really warmed up to the various states in Youzhou Prefecture. Yang Lin knows very well that Guanzhong is not that easy to fight, especially with Yang Guang on his side.  Under the circumstances. This guy is as cunning as ever. He sent He Ruobi and Guanzhong soldiers to the west. Firstly, it can consume our strength. Secondly, it can also consume the strength of Gao Jiao He Ruobi and others. This is called eliminating the direct lineage.  As for disbanding those soldiers, it is easy to understand. He certainly did not disband his Huaihuang Army to harvest wheat, so the result is obvious. He mainly went to Gao Jiao and others.  Yes. This is an internal struggle for power in the Taiyuan Puppet Dynasty. Yang Lin's move to Luoyang is a ruthless move. He is going south to take Yangzhou. " "Is Yang Lin really so cunning? It's just because of logistics.  What about the tight supply of food and grass?" Yuan Heng couldn't believe that Yang Lin could think so comprehensively.  "No matter how tight the food and grass supply is, it will be no problem to persist for a year and a half. I think Yang Lin is not simple. I think Yang Lin is eyeing Yang Guang. Maybe Yang Lin doesn't take me and the court seriously at all. He is  We want to control the Taiyuan Puppet Dynasty first, and then defeat Yang Guang first, and then attack the key points later. Although it is uncomfortable to be looked down upon, it is not bad, at least we have more time." Yang Xiu sneered, guessing for himself.  Lin was proud of Lin's plan, "Since Yang Lin wants to destroy Yang Guang first, let's cooperate with him. You quickly convey my order to the leaders of the barbarians in the southwest and let them send troops. Let's kill Yang Zhao first.  The little boy was killed. Did he really think that by becoming the general manager of Yizhou, he would become the king of Shu? Do you really think that my many years in Shu have been in vain? " "What about He Ruobi?"  "There are dangerous mountains and rivers in Guanzhong. Although He Ruobi is coming fiercely, there is nothing to fear. Send troops to strengthen the guards of Tongguan and Pujin Pass. How can He Ruobi fly into Guanzhong?" Yang Xiu snorted coldly. The 120,000 soldiers and horses did not let him  fear.  However, he was a little wary of Yang Su and Shi Wansui in the northwest. These two people were too powerful. In the battle with the Turks just now, Yang Su and Shi Wansui actually fought against Da with 150,000 troops.  He started a great cavalry battle, and he fucking won it.  Fortunately, Yang Su supports Yang Guang, and Shi Wansui supports Yang Yong. The two are now on guard against each other.  Yang Yong has become Yang Lin's prisoner. It is said that Shi Wansui has some disagreements with Yang Lin and has even betrayed Yang Guang. Maybe he can find a way to win over Shi Wansui and use Shi Wansui to deal with Yang Su and protect the capital of the West.  Face safety.  "I obey the order." Yang Zhao led 50,000 Yizhou soldiers and horses out of Jianmen and entered Hanzhong via the Golden Bull Road.  He received the latest edict from Yang Guang, which wasThen go to Xiangyang to join forces, but go alone, go directly out of Jianmen, take Jinniu Pass into Hanzhong, and then attack Sanguan, one of the four fortresses, to disperse the defenders of Wuguan, and flank the Huainan and Jingzhou troops to attack Wuguan.  close.  There are two passages between Shuzhong and Hanzhong, the Jinniu Road and the Micang Road. The Jinniu Road was opened when the Qin State conquered Shu. Later, the Zhonghui of the Three Kingdoms attacked Shuhan, and Wei Chigeng of the Western Wei Dynasty took this road to capture Yizhou of the Liang Dynasty.  .  This important road starts from Bailao Pass in Xi County, Liangzhou, Hanzhong in the north, and ends at Dajian Pass in Jianzhou Jiange in Sichuan in the south. In the middle, it crosses Chaotian Ridge, the highest peak. Jiange is the most important gateway.  Twenty-five miles to the north of Jiange County is Jianmen Mountain, also called Dajian Mountain, and thirty miles to the east is Xiaojian Mountain. The two mountains are connected. The mountains are extremely dangerous, and the Feige thoroughfare is called Jiange.  The Big and Small Jian Mountains stretch for more than two hundred miles, with peaks and ridges connected like a city. There is a narrow road below, which is Jianmen Pass.  Because its mountain cliffs are interrupted, the two cliffs are like inlays, like the opening of a door, like the planting of swords, so it is named Jianmen.  Before arriving at Jianmen Pass, Yang Zhao's troops had traveled five hundred miles and passed through Yi, Han, Mian, and Jianshu Prefectures. People said that the road to Shu was difficult, but in fact, Yang Zhao's troops walked all the way.  It's very smooth.  Shu Road Nan refers to the road from Shu to Shu, but in Shu, road traffic is still very good.  Sichuan is a huge basin, and the plains in Sichuan are rich.  The climate is pleasant.  The five hundred miles journey did not take long, as the Shu people seemed to be naturally good at marching.  Many Yizhou soldiers rode the short Yunnan horses unique to the Shu region and moved quickly. Even ordinary soldiers marched with bare feet, but they could still walk quickly.  It was not until the soldiers and horses entered Jianzhou that the road turned into a mountain road and their speed slowed down.  When we arrived in front of Jianmen Pass, the road was already rugged and difficult to navigate. The Big and Small Jian Mountains were rolling up and down, and there was a small narrow road between the two mountains.  A thousand soldiers and horses were stationed behind the sword gate.  The town general was Liang Gang, the son of Liang Shiyan of Shangzhu State, a famous general in the early dynasty.  Yang Zhao's chief secretary, Wei Baoluan, looked at the dangerous terrain and asked with some worry, "Is the guard at Jianmen Pass reliable?" Although there are only a thousand garrison troops at such a dangerous pass, if the guard refuses to let them pass, then even if they have  Fifty thousand soldiers and horses will have to be blocked here for a long time. Maybe they will have to pay a lot of casualties if they want to take Jianmen Pass.  Yang Zhao smiled and said, "No problem. I have already communicated with Liang Gang a long time ago, and he also replied that he is willing to be loyal to Your Majesty." Yang Zhao rode a tall Qinghai Cong, which is a famous horse from Tuyuhun.  Crossed with Persian horses.  Tall, strong and capable of traveling thousands of miles in a day, for Yang Zhao, who is a bit fat and fair.  This horse is just right.  However, although Yang Zhao is very fat, he is not as handsome as his father Yang Guang.  But he is not as fat as Prince Yang Yong. Yang Zhao is very strong.  He can shoot a powerful iron bow. In fact, the bow and arrow he carries is an iron arm bow. He can also skillfully use a horse bow on a horse. He has a bit of the martial arts of the Yang family, and he is also very knowledgeable.  , and he has Yang Guang's demeanor in this regard. Considering that he is less than twenty years old, it is already very impressive to have such both civil and military skills.  "That's good." Wei Baoluan chuckled.  Wei Baoluan is the grandson of the famous marshal Wei Xiaokuan, and his father Wei Shou is Wei Xiaokuan's fourth son.  As the grandson of a famous marshal and a top family member in the Sui Dynasty, Wei Baoluan has been quite successful since he was a child.  Last year, Princess Cui of Qin failed in poisoning the King of Qin, and Cui was sentenced to death.  Yang Zhao's original wife was Cui's niece. Yang Zhao immediately divorced his wife, and then Yang Guang came forward to propose to marry Wei Xiaokuan's granddaughter, who was Wei Baoluan's sister. Therefore, when Yang Zhao took office  When he was the general manager of Yizhou, Wei Baoluan also became his chief bookkeeper, which was considered as a contribution to his brother-in-law.  Liang Gang, the sword guard at Jianmen Pass, was also a member of the Guanlong aristocratic group like Wei Baoluan. His father, Liang Shiyan, was a Zhu state during the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He was promoted to the Zhu state after Emperor Wu destroyed the Qi Dynasty, and was conquered by Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty.  The Northern Qi Dynasty guarded Jinzhou with a lone army to resist the Qi army.  After the Qi Dynasty was destroyed, he was granted the title of Duke of Xu and ascended to the throne of Shangzhu.  Xuan followed Wei Xiaokuan to attack Chen and take Huainan.  On the weekend, they followed Wei Xiaokuan to defeat Yuchi Jiong and captured Yecheng.  However, after Liang Shiyan entered the Sui Dynasty, he was suspected of being a veteran of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He was summoned back to the capital. He lived idle and depressed. He rebelled against Yu Wenxin and Liu Fang and wanted to replace Yang Jian as emperor, but was killed after the incident was revealed.  Many of the Liang family's children were killed. Because Liang Gang had tried to persuade his father, the emperor later spared his life.  Originally, the family was prosperous when Liang Gang was young, so the weak crown was awarded Yitong. Later, based on the merits of his father, Ping Yuchi, he opened a new mansion.  He also had meritorious service in defeating the Turks, and was promoted to the rank of general, county magistrate, and governor of Jingzhou. He was regarded as a leader among the younger generation of the Guanlong Group.  As a result, because of his father's rebellion, although he escaped death, he was exiled to Guazhou. Later, he finally returned to the court, and now he has become a fifth-rank official step by step.  "Why did Liang Gang agree so readily?" Wei Baoluan asked immediately.  "Gu promised him that as long as he is loyal to His Majesty, Gu will definitely ask His Majesty to restore Liang Shiyan's reputation and let Liang Gang inherit Liang Shiyan's title." Yang Zhao said, but there was another condition he did not tell Wei Baoluan.  Liang Gang also made a request, that is, Yang Zhao agrees to marry Liang Gang's daughter as his concubine.  This countsWithout any conditions, he naturally agreed, but there was no need to tell Wei Baoluan.  Entering Guanzhong from Yizhou, there are two most important passes along the way. One is Sanguan, one of the four fortresses in Guanzhong, and the other is Jianmen. If you are blocked by Jianmen, it will greatly delay your father¡¯s journey.  Big plan.  When approaching the pass, Yang Zhao specially put on a golden crown and asked the soldiers to put on clean clothes. The whole army suddenly became more powerful and powerful.  ??The city of Guan emerged in the drizzle, with a stone in the sky like a sky mansion, and two mountains like walls and sword gates. It is true that one man is in charge of the pass, and no one can open it. It is majestic and spectacular.  This sword gate is like a sword and a door blocking this dangerous pass. The building is about six feet high, with bluestone as the base, ancient arched coupons, rings swallowed by beasts, and gold nails to secure the gate.  The gate adopts a three-story gable-style roof structure, with windows on all sides and a transparent ring. When seen from a distance, there is an immediate sense of oppression with tall watchtowers and dense battlements.  "It's so majestic!" Yang Zhao exclaimed. The steep cliffs on both sides make this Guancheng extremely important.  In order to pass this barrier, it was completely worthwhile to marry Liang Gang's daughter. Even if Liang Gang's daughter was extremely ordinary, I still accepted it.  Wei Baoluan also lamented the majesty of Guancheng, "Your Highness, after we enter the Pass, we must send our own people to take over and guard this Pass." "Yes." "Your Highness, the role of this Pass in Shuzhong is comparable to that of Tong Pass.  For Guanzhong, such an important gateway to Guancheng cannot be easily left to others to guard. Yang Zhao seemed to think it was not so serious and said with a smile: "Since Liang Gang has pledged his allegiance to my father, he is one of ours. Besides,  We have 50,000 troops, but if you really think it is necessary, there is no problem. Liang Gang is also a strong general, and guarding such a city with a thousand soldiers is too overkill. I will let Liang Gang do it alone.  The vanguard general, he will lead the vanguard and win Sanguan for us." As he spoke, Liang Gang had personally led the officers from Guanzhong to come out to greet him. Liang Gangsheng was tall and powerful, and he was wearing yellow uniforms like his subordinates.  Sui Dynasty war robe, with a horizontal sword on his waist, a horse in his hand, and a bow and arrow on his back.  Under the hood is a weather-beaten square face with a short beard under the chin.  "General Yonggu." Yang Zhao rode forward with a smile on his face and greeted Liang Gang.  "Your Majesty, Liang Gang, pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince." Liang Gang jumped off his horse and bowed to Yang Zhaoxing with his subordinates.  "Without courtesy, please get up. I have to ask General Liang and all of you to prepare food and hot water for the lonely rebel soldiers." Liang Gang stood up and said, "I know that His Highness will lead the army to arrive today. I have already ordered the soldiers in Guanzhong to prepare.  I asked your highness to enter the pass with food and drinks. However, the city is too small to accommodate such a large army, so I suggest that your highness just bring the guards into the pass, and the army will stay at the pass, and I will send someone to reward the army with food and wine. "  "The general is really thoughtful. I am very grateful to the soldiers. After walking for several days, I am really sleepy and tired." ps: Another month has begun, July is hot and painful.  If you have a guaranteed monthly ticket, please vote for Muzi and give Muzi some motivation!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
