The city of Yumen Pass at this time was much grander than when Duan Ye traveled in later generations. As far as the eye can see, a square castle stands on a sandstone hill in the narrow strip of the Gobi Desert from east to west, according to the guide, there is a saline-alkali marshland in the south, Hara Lake not far from the north, and the Great Wall to the north, and the Shule River in the north of the Great Wall.

Because Duan Ye's Jiuquan army is in the army as a whole to the north, so you can clearly see the old Great Wall, only to see the east-west direction of the Great Wall winding and winding, endless, every 5 or 10 miles, there is a square beacon tower, around the Great Wall beacon, there are occasionally low earthen houses, that is the place where the generals rest. In the south of the Great Wall of East and West, there is another Great Wall in the north-south direction, bypassing the west side of Yumen Pass, going south to Yangguan, and the east and west lanes on the north slope of Guancheng lead directly to the Western Regions.

Riding on the horse, Duan Ye looked at the Great Wall, which was still intact, and his heart was full of emotion.

The Great Wall, always the Central Plains Han people in the heart of the natural barrier, since the Warring States period Qin, Zhao, Yan three kingdoms to build the Great Wall, after additional repairs, although the five lakes into the congestion, but today, in the heart of the Han people in the south of the Yangtze River, the Great Wall, is still the lost land, sooner or later will have to be recaptured!

Looking at it, the Yumen Pass is already close at hand, is there still a big battle here?

It's a pity that this time, Duan Ye was disappointed.

Yumen Pass City is all rammed with loess, now the city gate is wide open, the soldiers are lined up in two compartments, Yumen Pass guard Zhang Tong personally out of the city, dressed in white, with the official seal, announced the surrender of Lu Guang, and his military horses are all controlled by Lu Guang.

Lü Guang was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately announced that Zhang Tong was still guarding the Jade Gate, and all the soldiers were rewarded, and without any doubt, he only took Duan Ye and a few other subordinates into the city, showing his absolute trust in Zhang Tong.

Zhang Tong was still a little suspicious, but seeing that Lu Guang behaved calmly, talked and laughed as usual, and his subordinates were all relaxed, he was relieved, so he had a big banquet at night, and the guests and hosts were happy, and Zhang Tong sincerely surrendered.

Yumen Pass was opened and closed without a fight, Hexi shook, and Lu Guang took the opportunity to spread the news to the counties of Hexi, asking them to immediately annex and join forces with him to join forces with King Qin, which attracted Liang Xi's attention enough.

Speaking of which, Guzang, the capital of Liangzhou, these days in the city is really floating in the army's heart, the people's hearts are unstable, the streets and alleys, teahouses and restaurants are full of heads, discussions, as if the sky is about to fall. However, the common denominator of all kinds of rumors is that Lu Guang is about to come over, and Lu Guang transferred back a million troops from the Western Regions, all of them are more than a foot tall, and they eat when they see people and grab things when they see them. Some wealthy businessmen have begun to pack their bags and prepare to run away.

On the street to the Assassin's Mansion, soldiers on fast horses came and went, the four city gates were guarded by soldiers, and the people's entry and exit had to be strictly checked, and the entire Guzang City was shrouded in a cloud of war.

At this time, Liang Xi, the assassin of Liangzhou, who had nothing to do, knew that Yang Han's prophecy had come true, but what was the use of it now? Now that the news of Yang Han being killed in Gaochang has come back, the three passes of Gaochang, Yiwu, and Yumen have not played a role, and now that Lu Guang has passed the Yumen Pass, presumably someone will soon take the initiative to follow Zhang Tong's initiative to surrender, and Liangzhou can be said to be in danger.

Sitting on the tiger skin chair in the lobby of the Thorn Mansion, Liang Xi was at a loss. He said to the civil and military officials standing on both sides of the hall with a sad face: "My lord, I originally thought that Lu Guang would dare to leave the Western Regions without the king's order, and how could he dare to occupy my Liangzhou. Now it seems that he doesn't even have a heavenly king in his eyes, let alone me? I also blame me for being indecisive, I didn't listen to Yang Taishou's words, and sent troops to guard Gaowu Valley Pass and Yiwu Pass in time, resulting in Yang Taishou's defeat and killing, and losing Gaochang. I got the bad news today, I woke up like a dream, and the face of the traitor Lu Guang was also revealed. Now although Zhang Dayu is defeated, he is still defending one side, and Lu Guang has been pressing step by step, I Liang Xi asked himself about the 10 years of guarding Liangzhou, although I dare not say how virtuous he is, he can be regarded as loving the people like a son, treating the people lightly, and treating the people well, everyone, you say, what should we do? ”

Now it seems that this battle must be fought, how should the ranking adults see this battle be fought? ”

The civil officials in the hall all lowered their heads when they saw the question, and the military attaché twisted his head to the side. Obviously, they are no longer optimistic about this envoy, Lu Guang's soldiers, can this group of people resist? Many people have already begun to prepare, when will they lose their sincerity to Lu Guang.

Liang Xi's eldest son, Liang Yin, the general of Yingyang who was urgently recalled, saw that no one answered, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord! The military situation is urgent, and if we continue to discuss it, we may lose the fighter plane, and now we take the opportunity of Lu Guang to rest and recuperate at Yumen Pass, and immediately transfer troops to Jiuquan to prepare for a decisive battle with the rebels. As long as Jiuquan is kept, why worry about Liangzhou? ”

"Liang Yin! Alas, your younger brother has died on the front line of Weishui, and now the burden of our Liang family has fallen on your shoulders. Liang Xi said as he spoke, and the old tears burst into tears again, and many people in the lobby were full of compassion when they saw the appearance of Lord Shi.

In any case, Liang Xi, as the assassin of a state, is indeed a good official, whether it is to the people or to the officials, he is benevolent, and now that he is sad, he has also stepped forward to comfort.

As a son of man, Liang Yin naturally chose to be strong at this time, and chose to cheer up his father, so that Liang Xi wiped away his tears and his expression became firm.

"Liang Yin, because my father didn't listen to the advice of you and Yang Taishou, and ignored the 100,000 urgent documents at the border pass, so that we had today's defeat. Recently, my father has often been unable to sleep at night, and he has a headache during the day, and his health is not as good as before. It seems that the burden of this Baoliang Prefecture falls on the shoulders of you and the lords. ”

Liang Yin listened, his eyes flashed, he bowed his head slightly, and said: "Father, why do you say this, you are the backbone of Liangzhou, as long as you have firm confidence, I still have tens of thousands of elites in Liangzhou, and the grain and grass can be supported for five years, as long as we have proper tactics and unite as one, we will definitely be able to defeat Lu Guang!" ”

"Yes! Envoy! We sure we can! Yao Hao, the general of Zhenwei, stood up and said in a deep voice: "Envoy, although the last general is dull, but there are more than 10,000 men and horses under his command, I am willing to die for the monarch and be loyal to the people of Liangzhou!" ”

Don't drive Wei Han also said loudly: "At this time, it is the time when my generation is at the end of the festival, we are waiting for the grace of the king of heaven, so that the king is loved, if you don't raise your arms to fight at this time, what face does you have in the world?" Envoy, give the order! ”

With the leader, the rest is easy to do, all the civil and military have expressed their willingness to make the king go to the knife mountain and go to the oil pot, of course, there are sincere, some are moved, and some take the opportunity to play lip service, but in any case, Liang Xi also felt greatly excited, it seems that there is still a battle with Lu Guang!
