After the banquet dispersed, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu led the generals to stay outside the city. There are not enough soldiers in the city. But he still left Zhang Liao to guard the city, so that he could get together with his clansmen more.

On the second day, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu began to beat drums and gather generals. Winning Mayi does not mean that they can relax, they were ordered to attack and merge the state, and now they are still circling in Yanmen, Taiyuan and Shangdang in front of them are hard bones, and it is not easy to gnaw very much. It's time to talk about what to do. At this time, the two generals did not know that their god teammates were about to appear and would provide them with the perfect help.

In the tent, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun discussed: "Zilong, Ma Yi, there is no danger in Lou Fu and Yin Pavilion, so I will divide my troops with you." I went west into the West River and conquered the county. Zilong entered Taiyuan from the Yin Pavilion, and then the two armies will join the party, how about it?"

This is what the two have discussed, they can't let the counties of Bingzhou calmly send reinforcements, so they simply divide the troops to expand the war and burn the war to the counties, anyway, the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, as long as you are careful, and Lu Bu, a native of Bingzhou, is naturally not afraid of the Bingzhou army to set up an ambush. Moreover, Lu Bu has a friendship with the Southern Xiongnu, and Xihe is the location of the Southern Xiongnu royal court, so how can Lu Bu not meet his old friends when he arrives here?

Zhao Yun obeyed everything, and Lu Bu said: "I left Wenyuan as a guide to help Zilong." ”

Zhao Yun was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked him: "I have Wenyuan's help, which is better than a thousand soldiers." ”

When the two of them finished their discussion, they divided their troops. Lu Bu left Zhang Liao to help Zhao Yun, but he led the generals straight to the West River, and the sound of hooves rumbled, rolling up countless smoke and dust.

As Lu Bu said, Ma Yi is a little bit, and there is no danger between Lou Fu and the Yin Pavilion. At this time, the Yanmen Pass of the first pass of Jiusai has not yet been completely formed, but a small village has been built on the Gouzhu Mountain, which is called the Gouzhu Village, which is not the majestic giant pass of later generations. Therefore, when Zhao Yun led the troops to appear at the foot of Gouzhu Mountain, looking at the Qingzhou army's banner like a cloud, the army's majestic military formation, the few defenders in the village chose to surrender very wisely. It disappointed the Qingzhou army, the knife was unsheathed, the bow was wound, and you were about to kill but you chose to surrender?

On the second day, Zhao Yun, accompanied by the generals, rode up to Gouzhu Mountain. Gouzhu Village is the West Pass of later generations. It is named because it is located in the west of Gouzhu Mountain, that is, the west of the Mountains. "Tang Zhi" contains: "Xicheng, the name of the pass is also, on Yanmen Mountain, the east and west mountains are steep and steep, there is a road, circling and rugged, and the top is set up, which is called the West Chengguan, also called Yanmen Pass." This place has always been an important town in northern China and an important border military political office. Major historical events such as "Han Gaozu's Northern Expedition", "Zhaojun's Exit from the Fortress", "Song Qinhui's Second Emperor's Northern Capture", and "Yang Jiajiang" are all related here. From the pre-Qin to the Han Dynasty, famous generals such as Meng Tian, Li Mu, and Li Guang all fought Hu here.

At this time, the hook village was still very simple. Zhao Yun is such a person, he can see the importance of this place at a glance. The peaks and mountains here are stacked with cockroaches, the cliffs are steep, and the terrain is so dangerous. As long as a Xiongguan is established here and heavy troops are left to defend it, if the enemy wants to invade the hinterland of the Central Plains, it is a fantasy.

Zhao Yun thought for a while, and said to Zhang Liao and Tian Yu beside him: "This place should be guarded by soldiers, and I will write to the lord, please build a gate city here." ”

Zhang Liao said: "What General Zhao said is very true, if there are more than 1,000 high-ranking cadres here, we are still at the bottom of the mountain at this time. ”

Tian Yu also nodded yes, saying that he didn't understand why Gao Gan didn't guard against this place.

If Gao Gan knew, he would definitely cry, General Yuan asked me to take the elite of Bingzhou to join forces with him to attack Liu Bei, and Bingzhou is so poor that it is not a place to raise soldiers, so I will take the soldiers and horses away, and other counties will have to leave troops to guard against thieves, where can this broken village still keep people? It's good that you didn't evacuate them all.

Everyone blew the mountain wind on the mountain, sighed about the ancient and modern, and then went down the mountain. Gouzhu Village was won, and along the ancient road, Zhao Yun swept through the two cities of Loufu and Yinguan.

Lou annoyance, the name of the ancient tribe, the people in the clan are good at riding and shooting. Later, people often used Lou Fu to refer to those generals who were good at riding and shooting. For example, Li Bai has a poem: "Befriend Lou Annoying General, and serve Yu Lin'er." "Lou annoyance is brave and good at riding and shooting, the records in the history books are endless, the first Qin and Zhao fought against each other, and later with the Qin and Han dynasties, the Xiongnu and other forces fought repeatedly, the population consumption was too much, to the time of the Xiaowu Emperor, the general Wei Qing passed through the river "south, and drove away the Lou annoyance. Since then, the building has disappeared into the vast prairie and has never been recorded again. However, although the Lou Fu people have disappeared, the place where they lived has been named Lou Fu and has been passed down from generation to generation. In the Qin period, it was Loufu County, and in the Han Dynasty, it was Loufu County, which has been until now.

After taking the two cities of Loufu and Yinguan, the north gate of Taiyuan County had already been opened to Zhao Yun.

Another advantage of fighting Lou Fu is that you can go down the Fen River directly in Lou Fu, and after removing Zishi County (Fenyang) on the way, you can drive straight into it all the way to Jinyang City.

Zishi was founded in the early Spring and Autumn Period, for Guanyan County, belongs to the state. When it arrived in the Warring States, it belonged to the Zhao State and was renamed Zishi County. During the Qin and Han dynasties, it was still named Zishi County, and it belonged to Taiyuan County of the Department of Thorn History. This small city has no other advantages, because of its proximity to Fenshui, where the water flow is soothing and the river is wide, the ancients first built a wharf here, and built a city because of the wharf. It can be said that the city was all because of the wharf.

Here, a granary was also built called the sheep intestine warehouse, which was used as a disaster relief store for grain during the Taiping period. Now, naturally, it has fallen into the hands of Gao Gan.

The generals of Qingzhou heard Zhang Liao say that there was a big warehouse by the Fenshui, although they didn't know if there was anything in it, but they still grinded their fists one by one and became excited.

Zhao Yun was no exception, he slapped his palms and said, "Order, the army will rest for a day, and then go down the river to attack the Zi clan." ”

Everyone obeyed the promise and left.

Just when the Qingzhou army set its sights on the Zi clan, there were also people in Jinyang City who were jumping in a hurry at this time.

The earliest time that Jinyang appeared in the history books was in the pre-Qin period. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Dong Anyu, the retainer of Zhao Jianzi, the secretary of the Jin Dynasty, built Jinyang City on the north bank of Jinshui at the northern end of the Taiyuan Basin, on the east side of the Hanging Urn Mountain. Later, it was the Qin Taiyuan County Administration, the early Han Dynasty National Capital, the Han Dynasty Thorn History Administration, the Cao Wei Prefecture Administration, the Western Jin Dynasty Taiyuan State Capital, the former Qin Capital, the Northern Wei Dynasty Prefecture Administration, the Eastern Wei Dynasty Lower Capital, the Northern Qi Capital, the Sui Taiyuan County Administration, the Early Tang Dynasty Prefecture Administration, the Wu Zhou Northern Capital, the Tang Dynasty Beijing, the former Jin Dynasty capital, the Later Tang Dynasty Xijing and Beijing, the Later Jin Dynasty Beijing, the Later Han Dynasty Beijing, the Northern Han Dynasty capital city The image stands in the northern land for thousands of years, and in the 21st century in later generations, it is still a famous provincial capital city in China.

However, it was said that in Jinyang City at this time, some people already knew that the Qingzhou Army had reached the gate of Taiyuan.
