After ordering 8,000 soldiers and horses, the next day Tang Zhou took Cheng Chumo and Li Yuanyu, the king of Luoyang, and they left the capital and rushed to Shuzhong.
Because these soldiers selected by Tang Zhou are all very powerful soldiers, they don't need to go through special training.
However, Tang Zhou had never brought these soldiers before, so many things also needed to be run-in, such as orders in the army.
Whether an army can win a battle or not, orders are very important, Tang Zhou wants these soldiers and horses to be completely obedient, only in this way can any of his orders play a role.
On the way, Tang Zhou kept emphasizing these and training them in this regard.
In addition to training the obedience of the army, Tang Zhou also sent spies to take the lead to investigate the situation in Shuzhong in Yumen Pass, and so one after another, Tang Zhou also had a certain understanding of the situation in Shuzhong.
Liu Bai is indeed a very capable person, it has only been a few days since he sent his troops, and he has already occupied a large part of the city in Shuzhong, and as long as he can take the Jianmen Pass, the entire Shuzhong will be under his control.
And Liu Bai is also very proficient in layout, after he controlled most of the cities in Shuzhong, he chose three places as bases, namely Yizhou as the old base camp, Pengzhou in the north, and Jianzhou in the south.
Yizhou has 10,000 defenders, Pengzhou and Jianzhou each have 5,000, of which Yizhou is relatively inward, and Pengzhou and Jianzhou form horns and encirclement each other, if the Tang army wants to attack Yizhou, it is bound to enter the encirclement of Pengzhou and Jianzhou, if it enters the palace Pengzhou, it is bound to be surrounded by Yizhou and Jianzhou.
Such a layout, first of all, makes itself invincible.
But Liu Bai's real power is not this, he is extremely capable of demagogic people.
He took advantage of Li Shimin's death to vigorously promote that the new emperor Li Zhi was a brutal monarch, and said how unbearable Li Zhi was, and even fornicated with Li Shimin's talents, etc., in order to ruin Li Zhi's reputation.
Few of the people in Shu go to the capital, and there are not many merchants here, and the businessmen are profit-seeking, and they dare not offend Liu Bai, so naturally they dare not refute, so many people in Shu are brainwashed by Liu Bai and think that Li Zhi is really a brutal monarch.
Liu Bai is so demagogic, he himself has the support of the people, so after occupying a large part of Shuzhong, he began to recruit troops and horses, in addition to the 20,000 veterans before him, he recruited almost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and these more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are entering the palace Jianmen Pass at this time, they are ready to capture the Jianmen Pass, with the natural danger of the Jianmen Pass, and the Tang Dynasty to have a confrontation.
After Tang Zhou got these news, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, he originally thought that they might only face 20,000 soldiers and horses, but now it seems that they have more than 30,000 soldiers and horses to face, and it may have reached 40,000, so many soldiers and horses, can he be an opponent with these 8,000?
Of course, Tang Zhou's soldiers and horses are not only 8,000, to be exact, there should be 10,000, because in the hands of the ancient heroes of Jianmen Pass, there are still 2,000 soldiers and horses, but now Liu Bai's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are attacking Jianmen Pass.

Sword Gate Pass.
Jianmen Pass has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and it has a strong defensive function both internally and externally.
With the Sword Gate in hand, it will be even more difficult for the disciples of Shu to enter the Central Plains, but if the Sword Gate Pass is missed, it will be even more difficult for the Tang army to enter Shu.
At the beginning, Liu Bai was hidden in Shuzhong, and he was very coveted for the Jianmen Pass, when did he not have the opportunity, he did not dare to get too close to the Jianmen Pass, so as not to be noticed, at that time his strength was not strong enough, if he was detected, he was afraid that he would fall short, so although he wanted to get the Jianmen Pass, he never succeeded.
And after he rebelled, he besieged Jianmen Pass with heavy troops, also in order to get Jianmen Pass.
It's just that it has been attacking for a few days now, but there is no sign of capturing the Sword Gate Pass.
The general sent by Liu Bai to attack Jianmen Pass is called Yang Lingwu, who is a fierce general, and he is also quite smart, and he is a talent that Liu Bai has focused on cultivating since he was young.
It's just that in the face of the sword gate closing the world, it is not easy for Yang Lingwu to capture it.
In the afternoon of this day, the ancient hero patrolled at Jianmen Pass, and arranged the defense of Jianmen Pass, the ancient hero was the eldest grandson Wuji's person, these elder Sun Wuji was worried about him, in order to be able to control a certain force in the army, he ran for him many times.
However, Li Shimin is not easy to fool, after he knows the relationship between the ancient hero and the eldest grandson Wuji, can he still let the ancient hero control a large number of soldiers and horses?
However, although the ancient hero will not be allowed to control a large number of soldiers and horses, in order to win over the eldest grandson Wuji, he can't be too cold, so he sent the ancient hero to the Sword Gate.
Since Liu Bai's rebellion, they have attacked the Jianmen Pass several times in a row, but several times they have returned in vain, and they have suffered a lot of losses, which have a lot to do with the ancient heroes' guards.
And the ancient hero also knows that although he can guard the Sword Gate Pass now, but after a long time, he is afraid that he will still be captured by the enemy, after all, there are not many of them, so the only thing he can do is to hold on until the arrival of reinforcements.
On this day, he was arranging affairs when a soldier hurriedly came to report: "General, the enemy is attacking the city again." ”
The ancient hero's eyebrows condensed slightly, and he led people up to the city tower, and went up to the city tower, only to see that the black pressure below was full of people, at this time, one of the people below suddenly shouted: "General Gu, my prince admires you very much, if you are willing to open the door and surrender, my prince promises to pay homage to you as a prince, how about it?" ”
The person shouting below is Yang Lingwu, he was ordered to attack Jianmen Pass, if he can't attack it, but he will suffer the crime, so in order to win, he does not hesitate to use all kinds of means.
When the ancient hero heard this, he smiled: "Who am I, it turns out that you are a defeated general, if you have the ability, you will attack, what are you doing with all this nonsense." ”
Saying that, the ancient hero suddenly pulled his bow and shot an arrow downward, Yang Lingwu knew that the ancient hero had pierced Yang in a hundred steps, and when he saw him take out his bow and arrow, he already knew that it was not good, so he hurriedly turned the horse's head queen and ran, and ordered people to resist while running.
Sharp arrows flew out, swishing and shooting a few people, at this time the ancient hero laughed and said: "It turns out that you are just going to do this, go back and tell your bullshit prince, you want my ancient hero to surrender, there is no door, if you know each other, surrender as soon as possible, otherwise when my imperial army arrives, I will kill you without leaving a piece of armor." ”
Nowadays, the only purpose of the ancient heroes is to support themselves, so it is a very effective way to attack these people verbally, after he said this, the people below are really a little loose, after all, when their generals ran away with their tails just now, it was really shameful.
And just when the ancient heroes laughed and those rebels were ashamed of Yang Lingwu's escape, Yang Lingwu was also extremely angry and shouted: "If you have the ability, you come out to fight me, what kind of ability is it to hide inside?" ”
