Chapter 890: Let's Make an Alliance

"No, Your Highness is wrong, the last general is just a little surprised, Mr. Dongfang also ordered so, it is estimated that someone has been sent to the dark hall now. However, Your Highness, do you really think something will happen to the Sword Gate Pass? "Yang Zaixing always felt that it was a little unreal, Jianmen Pass the world, how could the Chai family attack the Jianmen Pass, not to mention that now the **** is strong, the Chai family and Song Jiang should work closely together, Chai Keyan The woman couldn't take the wrong medicine, and dared to provoke the battle of Jianmen Pass at this time.

"Who dares to say this, haven't you heard a word, the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, the rabbit bites in a hurry, in this case, who dares to guarantee that Chai Keyan will not go crazy once?"

Now in Chai's situation, if you don't take the initiative to find a way, you are just waiting for death. Zhao Yougong feels that Chai Keyan is not the kind of person who can be caught with his hands tied, he has known Chai Keyan since he was a child, she has a cold and arrogant temperament, like a plum blossom blooming in the cold winter, even if it is wrapped in a warm sun, she still can't hide her edge. If Chai Keyan really dared to take the risk of making a move against the Sword Gate, then don't be surprised, she definitely has the guts. With the arrangement made by Chang'an, Xiao Yue's department stationed near Huayin acted quickly according to the order, and at the same time, Fengxiang Mansion also dispatched manpower to help build the Yellow River fortifications. However, Chai Keyan's purpose has been achieved, with the Dingguo Army increasing troops in Fengxiang Mansion, a large area south of the Yellow River may be exposed to Ding's attack at any time. The first to bear the brunt is Hanzhong Dao, now the Chai clan is concentrating on Shangluo Dao and Fenglei Town, and Song Jiang occupies Jianmen Pass, but such an important area of Hanzhong Dao is unguarded, and such an empty place may be attacked at any time. Since Song Jiang took Chengdu Mansion, he handed over the defense of Jianmen Pass to the new rising star Feng Buping. Let Feng Buping take on the big responsibility, on the one hand, because there are really not many available people under his hands, and on the other hand, it is also for those Xishu Hao clans to see. Feng Buping, such a young person, or someone who has just taken refuge, can be reused, but what about other capable people? Song Jiang's trick is very effective, and many people have seen the uneven treatment, so they can rest assured that they will take refuge in Chengdu to relieve a lot of pressure for the attack on Chengdu Mansion.

The Hao clan of Western Shu and the Hao clan of the Central Plains have always been two systems, until the end of the Ming Dynasty, the families of Shu Zhong are self-contained, and the Hao families and the people here are not too concerned about who is in power in the Central Plains Dynasty, they only care about the interests of their own clan. Feng Buping sat on the Jianmen Pass, the pressure was also very great, he had considered sending troops to garrison Hanzhong Road, but the north was Ding****, the east was Chai's, the front of Hanzhong Road was unobstructed, and the strength of Jianmen Pass was really limited, once the soldiers and horses stationed in Hanzhong Road were annihilated, the defensive pressure of Jianmen Pass would be even greater. For the sake of safety, Feng Buping could only choose to take the initiative to give up Hanzhong Dao, but with the increase of the Dingguo Army in Fengxiang Mansion, Feng Buping's heart could not help but be retained. Ding**** gathered troops and the south of Fengxiang Mansion, the most unlucky is Hanzhong Dao, as for the initiator Chai's soldiers and horses, as long as they hide in Shangluo Road and don't come out, Feng Buping's face is very ugly, just like this moon day, the forest is cold, "Chai Yonghao is really shameless, attacking the banks of the Yellow River, but he doesn't garrison troops, isn't this a problem to Jianmen Pass?" ”

However, scolding and scolding, Feng Buping still retains a little calm, with the current relationship between Song Jiang and Chai Keyan, Chai Yonghao really has no obligation to help defend Hanzhong Dao, everyone is worried about being used as a gunman. Approaching the evening, Lin Ling, the commander of Lin Ling, who was in charge of inspecting Hanzhong Dao, made Qiu He return to Jianmen Pass, Qiu He's already old face was crowded into a pile, and he looked several years old all of a sudden, "General Feng, the Dingguo Army has increased its troops in Fengxiang Mansion, there are signs of crossing the river, all the people sent by the Chai clan to attack and harass the coast have withdrawn, and now we are roasted on the stove, what can we do, if Hanzhong Dao is still unguarded, all the pressure will be thrown to Jianmen Pass." ”

Jianmen Pass is not as good as Hangu Pass, although it is also the world's Xiongguan, but the mountains on both sides of Hangu Pass are steep, and only the frontal pass can be attacked, and the scope is limited, but Jianmen Pass is different. Jianmen Mountain is a branch of Longmen Mountain, the terrain is not as high as the Cuisine Mountain, if the opponent divides troops to climb from the west side of Jianmen Mountain, and suppresses the bow and arrow from the high wing of Jianmen Pass, the pressure of Jianmen Pass is very large. Moreover, the front of Jianmen Pass is relatively wide, not as narrow as Tiger Pass, and it can completely invest enough troops. The reason why Jianmen Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is known as the world's Xiongguan is because Guancheng cooperates with Jianmen Mountain and Shu Dao, but now there are not enough troops to garrison Jianmen Mountain, and the defensive advantage is reduced a lot. Qiu He is an authentic Hanzhong person, he knows too well how dangerous the Jianmen Pass is without the cover of Jianmen Mountain, and now that Hanzhong Road cannot be guarded, the problem is even greater. The problem that Qiu He can see, it is impossible not to see Feng Buping, but Feng Buping thinks more than Qiu He, in fact, Hanzhong Dao is not that it can't be kept, it depends on whether everyone can put down their bodies and talk about it. At the beginning, Song Jiang, the king of the Han Dynasty, was serving under the command of the Chai family, and when he left the Chai family to run to Jianmen Pass, the relationship between the two sides was completely broken. Due to this special relationship between the two sides, they are unwilling to take the initiative to bow their heads, but now that the situation is strong, cooperation is the only way out. There are some things that should not be mentioned by him, Feng Buping is very clear about his situation, a newcomer, still so young, is in a high position, which has already caused dissatisfaction among many people, and the most important thing to do now is to honestly guard the sword gate, not to make trouble or make trouble. But now the situation at Jianmen Pass is critical, and I can't take care of it so much, "Feng will write a letter to Chengdu, and the matter of Hanzhong Dao will trouble General Qiu more." The situation in the area of Jianmen Mountain should also be closely monitored, at least there must be no mistakes in the things under your nose. ”

"General Feng, rest assured, the last general will definitely send someone to pay attention" Qiu He nodded and went down to do things, as for the next thing, it is not Qiu He who can be involved, he has lived a handful of years, Qiu He does not want to be promoted and make a fortune, as long as he can live this life in peace, like the kind of thing that stands on the cusp of the storm, leave it to the young man to do. After Qiu He left, Feng Buping hesitated for a long time, but still wrote a letter, in which he explained the situation of Jianmen Pass and the dangers that may be encountered in the future, and exhorted Chengdu to put aside its prejudices and cooperate with the Chai family for the time being. The letter was soon sent to Chengdu, and for some reason, the letter was circulated, and in the past few days, the letter has become the most discussed thing in Chengdu, and everyone has launched a fierce debate on whether to cooperate or confrontation. Most of those wealthy clans in Shu are in favor of a temporary alliance, because if the Jianmen Pass cannot be guarded, and Hanzhong is lost, then the entire Western Shu will not be at peace. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Liu Zhang was also considered to be strong, sitting on the rich land of Xishu, but he was still dizzy by Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. The way the Hao people think about the problem is different from the people, and the people are naturally reluctant to form an alliance, and many people are still looking forward to ruling Xishu again.

Because Song Jiang led the army to conquer Dali, all the big and small things in Xishu fell on Wu Yong, and he had a headache in the face of Feng Buping's request. As for how the content of the letter was circulated, Wu Yong could guess some, I think it was passed on by the Chai family. In fact, the Luoyang envoy came to Chengdu as early as two days ago to discuss the alliance, but Wu Yong kept dragging it out in order to win more benefits in the negotiations, but after the uneven letter was circulated, Wu Yong's plan was completely disrupted. Sure enough, after noon, the guards hurriedly came to report, "Mr. Wu, the people of the Yan family and the Fa family are out asking to see each other, saying that they have important matters to discuss." ”

Wu Yong scolded secretly, what is the important thing to discuss, it is clear that it is to increase the pressure, this group of wealthy families in Shuzhong, can they be so anxious? Exhaled, and waved his hand helplessly, "Please let them in." ”

The Yan family and the Legalist family can be known as the two famous families in Shuzhong, the Yan family started with martial arts, the family has no less than 8,000 private soldiers, and has occupied the area of Ba County for a long time. And the so-called Tang Sect is nothing compared with these two, and if you want to occupy Xishu for a long time, you can't help but give the face of the Fa family and the Yan family. Yan Tan and Fa Yan entered the mansion together, Wu Yong greeted him early, and said with a smile, "The two elders came together, but let this mansion shine, two, please hurry up." ”

"Mr. Wu is polite" Yan Tan and Fa Yan are accustomed to it, Song Jiang can gather strength in a short period of time, and now he is attacking Dali Kingdom, but all of them are the reasons for their support in the back, without their support, Song Jiang would not be able to become a climate. The two sides sat down and naturally made a polite exchange, but Fa Yan's face was obviously a little dissatisfied, "Mr. Wu, I heard that the envoy from Luoyang arrived a few days ago, why did you hide it from me?" ”

"This ......" Wu Yong didn't expect Fa Yi to be so direct, so he looked a little embarrassed for a while. Hiding from the Chengdu family, I just want to fight for more benefits for myself, but can I say these words clearly? Of course, Fa Yan didn't really want an explanation, the reason for this was clear to everyone, and asking this question was just a wake-up call for Wu Yong, telling him that as long as the Fa family wanted to know something in Chengdu, there was nothing that he couldn't get, and it was useless to hide it. Wu Yong's face changed, his expression was embarrassed, and seeing that his goal had been achieved, Fa Yan arched his hand and smiled, "Let's not mention the past for the time being, the two of us came here today just to ask Mr. Wu what he thinks about the alliance." Now that the **** is going to increase the troops in Fengxiang Mansion, Jianmen Pass may face danger at any time. Jianmen Pass cannot be lost, Hanzhong is lost, Shuzhong is unstable, no matter what, we must hold Jianmen Pass. I feel that this alliance cannot be delayed, and we should negotiate it as soon as possible. ”

Wu Yong's brows were furrowed, and he felt very uncomfortable, how could Fa Yan and Yan Tan come to discuss, and it was clear that they were here to force an alliance. Of course Wu Yong is angry, but what's the use of being angry, dare to show it? If these two people are unhappy, they will go to the streets of Chengdu Mansion and raise their arms, lose the support of the wealthy families in Shuzhong, and the soldiers and horses who will conquer Dali will immediately fall into a situation where they have no food to eat. Thinking of what Feng Buping said in his heart, and then looking at the two confident people in the room, Wu Yong could only sigh in vain.

Finally, under the pressure of many parties, Wu Yong and Luoyang signed an alliance, according to the agreement, the two sides will cooperate with each other to resist Ding****, and at the same time, the Chai clan is also responsible for dividing troops in Hanzhong Dao and cooperating with the defenders of Jianmen Pass to consolidate the defense of Jianmen Pass. The covenant was signed, both parties were satisfied, Luoyang, Chai Keyan was much more relaxed all of a sudden, and now he has successfully deceived Wu Yong, and the next thing is how to quickly take the Jianmen Pass. Either side of Chengdu or Chang'an reacts, and it will be difficult to capture Jianmen Pass.

In order to take the Jianmen Pass, Chai Keyan discussed with Gong Zhan for a long time, and Luoyang secretly arranged it. Song Jiangke, who was far away in Dali, had a headache, and the attack on Luolan was very smooth at the beginning, and Song Jiang's department almost encountered any effective resistance, and it took three days to lay down half of Jianchang Mansion. I remember that on the day of taking Jianchang Mansion, Mao Ru, the general under his command, said a word, the people of Dali are docile, and those Dali soldiers are like a group of sheep, and their combat effectiveness is not as strong as that of a group of Nanban tribes. At the beginning, this sentence made everyone laugh, and they were full of confidence in attacking Dali. But soon, Song Jiang was slapped in the face. After taking Jianchang Mansion, Song Jiang was full of confidence, and the army rested for a day, and then directly attacked Shanju County in the west of Jianchang Mansion, Shanju County is the largest county in the north of Dali Kingdom, as long as Shanju County is taken, you can directly face Dali Fengyu County to the south, as we all know, Fengyu County is known as the gateway to Dali City, and if you take Fengyu County, you can quickly solve the Dali royal family.

Because the battle in Jianchang Mansion was too smooth, Song Jiang was a little too confident, and gave up the original method of steady and steady fighting, according to the original plan, he should go south from Jianchang Mansion to capture Huichuan Mansion and Nongdong Mansion, and swallow up the troops of Dali Kingdom little by little. It is indeed much more convenient to directly attack Shanju County, but Shanju County has a vast mask, dense mountains, rivers and rivers, and the terrain is very complicated. It's a pity, due to a series of victories, the Song Jiang army has long regarded Dali as nothing, since Dali is so weak, why do you still come step by step, so, under the leadership of Mao Ru, Deng Jiufang as the vanguard, more than 20,000 troops entered Shanju County, on the same day Deng Jiufang led the troops to storm the Luobang City in the north of Shanju County, because Dali Guo put the main soldiers and horses in the direction of Huichuan Mansion, but the north of Shanju County was empty, only half a day, Deng Jiufang took Luobang City. After taking Luobang City, Song Jiang's army was even more confident, and actually gave up repairing and went south to attack Shanju County, wanting to take down two cities in one day, capture Fengyu County as quickly as possible, and threaten Dali City.
