Tongguan (Tongguan is located in the north of Tongguan County, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, bordering the Yellow River in the north and the mountainside in the south. "Notes on the Book of Water" contains: "The river flows south of Tongjiguan Mountain in the Guan, because it is called Tongguan. It was founded in the first year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (196). Tongguan is the east gate of Guanzhong, and because Tongguan is located in the Yellow River ferry, it is located in Jin, Shaanxi and Henan provinces, and it is the key to enter and exit the three Qins, so it has become the only place and key pass for the Central Plains and the West Regions since the end of the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Dan, the general guarding the pass, was already covered with blood, he couldn't tell whether the blood was his own or someone else's, all the infantry in Tongguan had mutinied, and the soldiers around him were almost dead, I really didn't expect that Tongguan was destroyed in the hands of his own people!

"General Zhang, let's abandon the pass and escape! Tongguan can't hold it anymore, ......! ”

Zhang Dan looked at the pro-soldiers around him with angry eyes, and stabbed to death the pro-soldier who advised him with a cold sword, Zhang Dan said angrily to the remaining pro-soldiers: "If there is anyone who disturbs the morale of the army, there will be no forgiveness!" Hold on a little longer, my letter to the king of Nanyang has been sent for many days, I believe that the king of Nanyang will not give up the Tongguan natural danger, and must have sent people and horses with food to support us, as long as we hold on for a few more days, at most a few days! ”

Suddenly, Zhang Dan felt a pain in his abdomen, and a long sword had passed through his body......

The soldiers around Zhang Dan were all stunned to see this scene, they didn't expect that Zhang Dan's most trusted soldier would actually kill Zhang Dan......

Everyone drew their swords and locked firmly on the murderer's own soldier!

"Put the down the knife for me, Zhang Dan is dead, how many days have we been hungry, what Nanyang King's soldiers and horses who saw a shadow? There is no hair! What's the use of guarding the City Lord's Mansion now? The brothers outside the house will come in at any time, can we hold it? ”

Everyone knew that what this pro-soldier said was the truth, but after all, he killed Zhang Dan, who was so kind to them......

Everyone involuntarily glanced at Zhang Dan in the pool of blood, and suddenly, one person threw the sword to the ground, one, two, three, and gradually all of them dropped the sword in their hands, and they gave in......

Seeing that all the people had given up resistance, and no one even stood up for Zhang Dan, the fear in his heart was gone, and he shouted loudly: "You all go out with me, let's go and tell the brothers outside that Zhang Dan is dead, so that not only can we all live, but if possible, we can also have a way out!" ”

"What way out"? Everyone asked in unison: "What way out do we have now, without food, 30,000 people, we can't live......

"How can there be no way to live, believe me, let's go out and say with all the brothers, I have a way to take everyone to live!"

Outside the house

The murderous soldier stood on a high place and carried the head of Taishou Zhang Dan, and shouted at all the rebels: "Have you seen it, this is the head of Taishou Zhang Guang, I have already killed him, it is because of this person that we will make trouble, isn't it!" ”

"Yes!"

"Yes, it's all because he won't give us food!"

"Good kill!"

Seeing that everyone's emotions had been controlled, the murderous soldiers threw Zhang Dan's head into the crowd with a flick of their hand, and then continued to shout: "Everyone knows that we have no food, and we will starve to death without food, and the damned Nanyang King Sima Mo didn't send us any food, I checked Zhang Dan's mansion, this birdman actually hid a lot of grain and grass, I hate it so much, even if we all warn him like this, he refuses to take out these grains!" Just because of these grains, he has already found a buyer and is ready to take advantage of the current shortage of grain in Guanzhong to sell them at a high price, such a person! Do you hate it?!! ”

"Hate!"

"He's a scumbag!"

"It's good to kill, we want food!"

The murderous soldier nodded with satisfaction, waved his finger at the inner house, and said loudly: "Everyone has been hungry for a long time, I will let you go in and move food in a while, but this bit of grain and grass is not enough for us to eat for long, and we have already killed Taishou, the king of Nanyang will definitely investigate it, you say, what should we do?" ”

"We listen to you!"

"We will do whatever you say!"

"As long as there is food, we will listen to you!"

"Good! Since everyone has said so, I have a proposal, we can't go back to the king of Nanyang, now the Huns have broken through the Hangu Pass, and they are about to reach us, I think, we might as well surrender to the Huns! “

As soon as the words of the murderous soldier fell, there was a sudden silence below.

The assailant touched his forehead, and he was sweating on such a cold day......

The murderous soldier pretended to be angry and said: "You have all thought clearly for Lao Tzu!" You've already killed Taishou...... Yes, I killed people, but according to the law of Jin, the Lord will die, do you think you can live well? And if you run out of food and grass in the house, what will you do? I promise, as long as we surrender to the Huns, I will definitely let the Huns also guarantee that your family is small, you all know about Luoyang, how many people died, Luoyang can't hold it, how can we hold Tongguan? Or do you want your own families to die under the iron horses of the Huns? ”

"We will surrender!"

"As long as we can keep our families, we are willing to surrender!"

"We all listen to you, as long as we can live!"

After hearing everyone's statement, the assailant relaxed at this time, and at this time he realized that he was already covered in sweat......

Six hours later, at night, Tongguan

"Big brother, there is a request to see Zhang Mai, the second son who claims to be Zhang Guang, the assassin of Liangzhou, outside the gate, saying that there is something important to report!"

The murderous soldier sneered and said, "Let's go, let's take a look."

On the city wall of Tongguan

"Who's coming? Our general is here, if you have anything to say, tell our general! ”

"I am Zhang Mai, the son of Zhang Guang, the assassin of Liangzhou, and I have the general of Tongguan for an emergency military intelligence report!"

"I'm the Taishou of Tongguan, if you have any emergency military situation, just tell me here!"

Zhang Mai asked people to raise the torch a little, but he still couldn't see the face of the Tongguan guard, the wall of Tongguan was too high......

Zhang Mai was helpless, so he had to reply loudly: "Quickly let me enter the customs, the Huns are coming soon, and my father Zhang Guang is already stationed in Daiziying Township!" I hope the general will let me enter the customs as soon as possible and talk about it in detail! ”

"Let you in? Haha, brothers, he said to let him in? ”

There was a burst of laughter on the city walls!

Zhang Mai's face immediately turned pale, and he was speechless with anger......

"What bullshit Zhang Guang, Liangzhou Thorn History Zhang Guang Zhang is far away in Liangzhou, how can he be here? The two places are far apart, and there has never been an official communiqué saying that Zhang Tingshi will come to the rescue, do you want to lie to us?! ”

"I'm really the son of Zhang Tingshi, let me enter the customs quickly, the Huns have already killed me, I want to see you too much to guard Zhang Dan Zhang!"

"Come on, shoot me arrows and shoot these liars!"

As soon as Zhang Mai saw that the defenders on the wall of Tongguan were already bending their bows and arrows, he immediately turned his horse's head and shouted loudly to his own soldiers: "Go!" Let's get out! ”
