Chapter 1020: Transforming Elbows and Armpits
"Tang Emperor Order!"
"Disciples: The traitors Yang Fuguang and Yang Fugong conspired to rebel and make trouble, supported the emperor's seventh brother Li Ye to pretend to be in the government, stole the imperial capital Chang'an, and stole the artifact.
Guan Junrong envoy Tian Lingzi is my father, following the instructions left by the previous emperor and inheriting the generous grace of this dynasty. Loyalty, conscientiousness, and dedication to the stability of the Tang Dynasty. Today, we will raise the banner of righteousness with all the kings to clear the demons
Now as far as the remote Baiyue in the south and the Sanhe in the Central Plains in the north, the iron cavalry is in groups, and the chariots are connected. With the flag fluttering on the shore of the river, will the great cause of recovering the Tang Dynasty be far away?
The sound of the class moved and the north wind rose, and the sword qi rushed and the south was flat. If you woo, the mountains will collapse, and if you scream, the wind and clouds will change color. In this way, why should the enemy not be destroyed? With this effort, why not? public class or living in Han land, or co-Zhou relatives; Or he is re-entrusted, or he is ordered to be in the preaching room.
The words of His Majesty's gift seem to still be in my ears, how can you forget your loyalty?
If we can turn the current calamity into a blessing, be loyal to the present, and jointly establish the merit of saving the royal family, then all kinds of knighthood rewards will be as strong and long-lasting as Mount Tai and the Yellow River. If you are nostalgic for your vested interests in the present, hesitate at a critical moment, and do not see the situation clearly, you will inevitably incur severe punishment in the future.
Please see whose world is in today's domain!
On August 28, the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty, Pei Tanxuan was ordered by the Chinese book. Zhongshu Langchen Cui Lingfeng. Zheng Xinxing, a member of the Chinese Scholars. Waiter Wei Zhao. Sun Mi, the servant of the Yellow Gate. Words to the ministers Zheng Xi, Zhang Pu, Cui Yuan, etc.
The book is as it is on the right, please serve. The system is implemented outside the system, and I am careful to say it. September 1 of the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty.
An edict from the emperor officially signed by the province was read aloud. Chen Jingzhong, the supervisor of the Northern Expedition, came to the front of the army with a smile on his face under the guards of the brocade guards, and the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Gao Renhou, stood in front of the formation with a gloomy face, and saw him coming, but he didn't even turn his head back.
However, Chen Jingzhong didn't seem to care about his attitude. He walked to the high platform in front of the formation and swept the soldiers of the army triumphantly. He knew that Gao Renhou was resistant to this secret order, but so what?
He coughed twice at the throat of the male duck, Gao Renhou stretched out his hands on the side and pressed down, and the Sanchuan soldiers, who were still noisy just now, immediately quieted down. Chen Jingzhong's face was a little ugly. A hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes towards Gao Renhou.
He turned his head to look at the Sanchuan soldiers, and shouted: "Tian Gong and Chen Shuai show that today's Double Ninth Day is also the time for us to counterattack the rebel thief Yang Fugong brother and the puppet emperor Li Ye. At this moment, right here, we will attack Wuguan and fight back to Chang'an! From tonight onwards, all the rebels and thieves of the puppet dynasty who stand in our way back to Chang'an will not die if they surrender, and those who dare not surrender. Kill them all on the spot, and leave no one behind. ”
After a pause, he continued to shout in a sharp voice, as if a servant was singing loudly, "The Yang brothers, the rebels and thieves, they stole Guanzhong. He also usurped the government. They have insulted the Son of Heaven, our Son of Heaven. Everything they do to His Majesty is an insult to us.
The king is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the king is humiliated and the ministers die!
If they think they can insult our majesty, but they don't love any punishment, they don't take us seriously at all! ”
Chen Jingzhong's dry words did not make the soldiers from Sanchuan react too much, and this result made Chen Jingzhong a little surprised and embarrassed. He turned his head to look at Gao Renhou a little bewildered, although he had always looked down on this martial artist. But at this time, he knew that he was indeed inferior to this martial artist in commanding soldiers.
Gao Renhou took a step forward with a dark face, clenched his fist with his right hand, and pressed his sword with his left hand. His gaze swept across the array like lightning, and he raised his right hand, which was clenched into a fist, and the sound was like a bell.
"Brothers!"
"Nearly 300 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, countless soldiers have fought bravely for the Tang Dynasty, fought desperately and bloodily, and saved the empire from fire and water again and again. No matter how difficult and dangerous it was, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty never gave up, and this empire never fell! ”
"The Turks did not defeat him, nor did the Tibetans, nor did the Uighurs."
"An Lushan has not been, and neither has Huangchao."
"Today!"
"Yang Fugong will never steal him!"
"Yang Fugong set up a puppet emperor to steal Chang'an and occupy Guanzhong. They won't let us go back to Guanzhong, they will occupy our homes, our land, rob our women, and slave our brothers. ”
"Do you want to never be able to return to your homeland, do you want your brothers to be their slaves, do you want your wives and daughters to be their slaves, do you want your homeland and land to become their property?"
"No!" The shouts that rushed to the sky sounded, and countless soldiers shouted out the words. Of the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Northern Expedition to Sanchuan, most of them were evacuated from the Guanzhong area to Sanchuan. No one wants to never be able to go back to their hometown, no.
Gao Renhou drew his long sword, "Tonight, we will fight bloodily, and after dawn, we will take the Wuguan." I assure you that Chang'an will be ours, Guanzhong will be ours, and we will turn the tide, protect King Qin, save the Tang Dynasty, and make meritorious contributions. We will be heroes. When the sun rises in the east, you will be the greatest hero of the Tang Dynasty, and you will be knighted, given money, and share the prosperity! ”
A burst of shouts sounded, and those Sanchuan soldiers were all excited by Gao Renhou's short words.
"Wuguan, it's right in front of you, brothers, pick up your sword and follow me!"
Nine days and nine days of Chung Yeung Festival.
On this night, the sky was dark and the stars were sparse and windy.
Gao Ren gathered his troops and horses and raided Wuguan.
Wuguan, one hundred and eighty miles southeast of Shangzhou, the Danjiang River, a tributary of the Han River, crosses the mountainous area of the eastern section of the Qinling Mountains from northwest to southeast, and cuts a long and narrow valley area, becoming a passage between the north and south of the eastern section of the Qinling Mountains.
This passage goes up to the northwest, after crossing the watershed of the Qinling Mountains, it can go from Lantian in Guanzhong to Chang'an. Go southeast, that is, to the Nanyang Basin.
Wuguan, just at the southeast exit of this passage, stands according to the danger, guards this passage, and becomes the southeast gateway of Guanzhong. Wuguan is also known as the 102 Qin Pass, one of the four major gates of the Guanzhong in the mountains and rivers.
Since the Spring and Autumn period. After Qin Mugong expanded eastward, expelled Jin from eastern Shaanxi, and competed with Chu for the area of Shangluo, Wuguan became Qin You. Since then, Wuguan has always been the advance base for the Qin State to threaten Chu and attack Chu. When Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, the two sides held each other in Xingyang, Henan, and Chenggao. Xiang Yu attacked Liu Bang with heavy troops, Liu Bang was under great pressure, and Yuan Sheng suggested that Liu Bang go out of the military pass. Tun Jun Wan and Ye to divide the momentum of the Chu army. Liu Bang adopted his proposal and went out of Wuguan in the south, and Xiang Yu was attacked in the north and south, and gradually declined.
Only on the situation of mountains and rivers, the danger of Wuguan is not as good as Tongguan, from the southeast into Wuguan, you can go to Lantian to face Chang'an. And Wuguan is far away from Chang'an, there is an emergency, and the rescue is not urgent. Therefore, the Kwantung forces are tackling key problems. It's more about going through Wuguan.
Liu Bang's western expedition to Guanzhong, in order to avoid the danger of Tongguan, was to detour to Nanyang to capture Wuguan, enter Lantian, defeat the Qin army in Lantian, and march to Bashang. Prince Qin surrendered, and Qin died. Liu Bang entered Qin from Wuguan and opened up a way to attack the fortifications.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the situation in Guanzhong was chaotic, and Wuguan was often an important passage for warlords from all walks of life to enter and exit Guanzhong. In the fifth year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty, Liu Han of the Xiongnu captured Luoyang, and Yan Ding, the minister of the Western Jin Dynasty, was sent to Sima Ye, the king of Qin, to enter the pass from Wuguan and rebuild the Xingtai of the Western Jin Dynasty. In the tenth year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the constant temperature Northern Expedition to Qin, from Wuguan to Bashang, the army pressed Chang'an. The twelfth year of Yixi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After Liu Yu's northern expedition to Qin, in addition to the main force along the Yellow River west for a frontal attack, another general Shen Tianzi and Fu Hongzhi were sent to Wuguan for a flank attack, when the main force of the Jin army was still fighting hard outside Tongguan, Shen Tianzi had already attacked Wuguan. Entered Qingni, pinned down most of the main forces of Hou Qin, and effectively cooperated with the frontal attack of Tongguan. The confrontation between the Eastern and Western Wei dynasties, Gao Huan tackled the key problems in three ways, in addition to the Tongguan and Puban roads, and sent the general Gao Ao Cao from Wuguan to attack Qingni. Among the three roads, only Gao Aocao, who attacked Wuguan, won a certain victory.
In the late Tang Dynasty, the feudal towns were divided, and the road to the southeast was blocked by Li Xilie in Huaixi, so he changed the route to Jingxiang and entered the Guanzhong from Wuguan, which became a lifeline for the Tang Dynasty.
It is precisely because of these precedents that Tian Lingzi, who was blocked in Sanchuan by the Yang brothers, has always wanted to return to Chang'an through Wuguan. At the beginning, Yang Fuguang forced Zhu Wen to oppose him, and Tian Lingzi actively contacted Zhu Wen, and it was because Zhu Wen controlled Wuguan at that time. Later, Jinshang Town was seized by Yang Fugong, and Yang Fuguang contacted him to fight against Li Jing. Tian Lingzi agreed on the surface, but in fact, it was just for the sake of destroying the enemy. He didn't really send troops to see the cold lips and teeth, but to send the soldiers and horses to Wuguan City.
Yang Fuguang considered the long-term, and for the sake of the overall situation, he would rather betray Yang Shili than make peace with Tian Lingzi, in order to fight against the Qin Domain. It's a pity that he overestimated Tian Lingzi's overall view and underestimated Tian Lingzi's lower limit. Tian Lingzi is just a short-sighted, but eager to repay him. Yang Fuguang drove him out of the court, how could he not repay this revenge.
It's not that he didn't report it, it's just that the time has not come, and now, when the Chang'an court and Li Jing finally fought fiercely, Tian Lingzi finally showed his knife.
Wuguan, Guancheng is built on a relatively flat plateau between the canyons, the north is close to the lofty Shaoxi Mountain, and the south is dangerous. The circumference of the city is three miles, and the city wall is built of earth and is slightly square. A door was opened in the east and west, and the roll hole was covered with bricks and stones. The terrain of the western part of the country is relatively flat, only out of the east of the Guan, the mountainside is winding through, the cliff is high and the valley is deep, it is narrow and difficult to walk, so Wuguan is the place where the ancient soldiers must fight.
This is the throat of Qin Chu at the head and tail of Qin, and the key is closed.
Previously, Wuguan belonged to Shangzhou, and Jinzhou was separated from Shannan East Road as Jinshang Town in the early years. During the Huangchao Rebellion, Jinshang Town was captured by Zhu Wen, but not long ago, the Yang Fuguang brothers suddenly attacked Zhu Wen and captured Shaanxi and Jinshang, and Wuguan also fell into the hands of Yang Fugong's brothers.
Here, Yang Fugong has 20,000 soldiers and horses, which is not a lot.
However, when the Qin clan was advancing westward, Yang Fugong raised a large army to meet the battle, although the number of soldiers and horses in Wuguan did not change, but the quality dropped a lot. Several elite Divine Strategies troops were transferred away in exchange for a group of new recruits.
On a dark night, under the city of Wuguan, Gao Renhou personally led the elite of Xichuan, and the yellow-headed army touched the city. At this time, this Huangtou Army, which numbered 5,000 people, was led by Wang Jian, who fled from the eight generals of the Zhongwu Huangtou Army, which was founded by Cui Anqian and strengthened by Yang Fuguang. These five were swallowed by Zhu Wen and driven to Chengdu, but they were unexpectedly relied on by Tian Lingzi, a fellow countryman, and were entrusted with important tasks.
At this time, Wang Jian, the escort general, was the vanguard of the Yellow Head Army, and took his men to the city.
In the middle of the night, the autumn wind was cold, and the recruits defending the city could not bear the cold, holding spears and squatting under the battlements to avoid the wind, and some even fell asleep.
The city wall is nearly three zhang high, and if there is an elite who guards this pass seriously, it can indeed be a master, and it is impossible to open it.
Unfortunately, the defenders at this time were only a new recruit.
"Hey, wake up!"
The star officer patrolling the city woke up the soldier who was already asleep at the foot of the wall, and kicked several times before the guard finally woke up.
Just as the guards were looking at the star officer with a gloomy face in fear, suddenly black shadows jumped one after another on the nearby battlements. The guard was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and when he saw that it was not a few night owls, he immediately opened his mouth in horror and pointed there, but he couldn't say anything for a long time.
The star officer turned his head back along his fingers, but he just saw a little cold light in his pupils first, and then a sharp sound of breaking the air sounded in his ears.
"Enemy attack," he shouted in surprise as he first arrived, and the sharp arrow had already shot through his gaping mouth, revealing the back of his head. The star officer on duty did not understand how he came back until he died, there were 20,000 defenders in the city, and there were 50,000 allied troops in Sanchuan twenty miles outside the city. Who are the enemies and where exactly do they come from?
Bang, the dead body fell to the ground.
"Enemy attack!"
Several patrol guards and the soldiers defending the city let out a sharp howl almost at the same time, and the star officer who fell in front of them made them understand what was happening. Whoever came, in short, they were attacked.
Wang Jian shot down a city defender with an arrow, snorted coldly in his mouth, and with a wave of his right hand, several yellow-headed soldiers who had jumped on the city immediately took off their bows and crossbows, and a burst of strong bows and crossbows passed, and the few frightened and screaming defenders in front of them all closed their mouths forever.
"Team A and Team B will follow me to seize the gate, Team C and Team D will clean up the city, and pick up the brothers in the back to go to the city, go!" Wang Jian quickly gave the order according to the tactics drawn up before the attack, and then rushed towards the horse road in the lower city.
The bell of the alarm bell had already sounded in a hurry, followed by the whine of the horn.
A moment later, there was already a commotion above the city, and the flames were soaring into the sky, shouting and killing in all directions.
Gao Renhou, who was ambushed not far from the city, stared at the direction of Guancheng, and when he saw bursts of fire rising into the sky, he finally tightened the handle of the knife in his hand, jumped up violently, and shouted: "Pick up the knife and rush with me!" ”
The head of the city was lost, the city gate tower was lost, and the city gate hole was lost
The gates were opened, and the drawbridge was lowered
Gao Renhou led the army to rush in, and in the roar, the Sanchuan Northern Expeditionary Army poured into Wuguan like a tide.
When the sun rises in the east, the original banner on Wuguan has been pulled down, and several banners of the Northern Expeditionary Army are set up high, facing the golden morning sun, swaying with the wind, hunting!
