Chapter 704: Heavenly Gate Pass

The northernmost state of Great Xia is Ganzhou, and in terms of geographical location, the entire Youzhou is still below Ganzhou.

If the entire land of Daxia is compared to a house, then the two prefectures of Ganzhou and Cangzhou are the roofs distributed on the left and right at the top, and the land of the two states covers the entire huge house, which is enough to show its large area.

However, in a broad sense, the two states of Gan and Cang are actually even larger, because in the north of the two, there are still 100,000 endless mountains, and countless snow-capped mountains and cold pine forests together form the Huwo Mountain Range, a natural northern barrier of Great Xia.

This mountain tiger, composed of countless mountains, reaches into the sky, stretching hugely, resisting the cold winds and blizzards blowing further north, and also blocking the outside by it, as well as the snowman tribes who covet the rich land of the Central Plains.

If you take a bird's-eye view of the entire northern part of Bactria from the sky, you will find that it is divided into three levels from south to north.

At the bottom are the two states of Gan and Cang, where the people of Daxia live, the terrain is relatively flat, the land is a dark brown that can be used to grow crops, and there are villages and towns and cities dotted on it like stars, and at the middle level is the rolling 100,000 mountains, the interior of which is intricately intricate, and the fierce snow beasts are the masters here, and further up, there is darkness, endless darkness.

Because the Arctic Snow Field at this time is in the polar night, its night will take three years!

People in the world often say that although there are still a glimmer of life despite the nine deaths, the mystery between heaven and earth lies in the fact that the Great Dao will never do everything, so the entire northern part of Great Xia was carved by heaven and earth, leaving a scar.

The name of this scar is Tianmen Gorge!

Tianmen Gorge is a canyon that spans 100,000 mountains from the territory of Great Xia and leads directly to the snowfields in the far north, and also divides the entire Gansu and Cangzhou states.

The military department of Great Xia and countless generals in the north of the entire dynasty knew that there were two crucial checkpoints in the north of Great Xia, one was the south of Youzhou, which guarded the Tiger Leaping Gorge in Shenjing, Gyeonggi, and the other was the northernmost strategic throat, Tianmen Gorge.

Whoever chokes Tianmen Gorge, who occupies the initiative in the north to attack and retreat, the human dynasties of all generations have attached great importance to it, and it has taken countless generations of efforts to build a big city Xiongguan in the middle of Tianmen Gorge, which will be cut off by the waist of the long canyon, as the northernmost gateway, and it has been called Tianmen Pass since ancient times.

Since the historical records, Tianmen Pass has never been missed, and it has always been firmly controlled by the human race.

After the opening of the Great Xia, the Jiang clan of Bei'an was ordered to guard the Tianmen Pass, after 90 years of development, and the attraction of the rich resources in the entire 100,000 mountains, the Tianmen Pass at this time is not only a border pass, but also a prosperous trading city, its area is bounded by the northernmost tall city wall, and expands again and again to the south.

Among them, it is worth mentioning that when Tianmen Pass expanded the city to the south, the old king of Bei'an, who was indulged in gentle township all day long and did not ask about the world, appeared in a very high-profile manner, waved his hand, and divided all the chambers of commerce and people to the soon-to-be-built Nancheng, hugged the girl, patted the table and shouted to everyone:

"This king does not object to the establishment of a chamber of commerce in Tianmen Gorge, and even if you have the ability to go out of the customs and go to the extreme northern snow field to do business with those snow people, this king also supports it, but there is one point, you can't step into this northern city, it is the military camp and battlefield of my Jiang Shilang and the Northern Army.

"As for the newly built southern city, this king doesn't care, my Jiang clan is guarding the frontier, and I will not interfere in this trade matter, the court will send people to manage it, this king hopes that you and others will do things according to the rules, whoever wants to stretch out his hand to the northern city, this king will cut off his head. ”

Due to the words of the king of Bei'an, Tianmen Pass has been divided into two parts, the southern city and the northern city, and the development of the two has also undergone extremely dramatic changes.

Nancheng became more and more prosperous, and gradually became the most prosperous city in the whole Ganzhou and the trading center of snow beast fur and animal meat, and even a large number of snow merchants in the city were haunted by the crowd after being reviewed, and the scarce resources on the 100,000 mountains and snowfields further north were traded here, and then sold to all parts of the Great Xia at a high price, and the cold temperature could not prevent the arrival of countless gold rush adventurers.

But on the contrary, Beicheng is still the one that kills, is deserted, and only the northern army practices day and night, but the roar of the soldiers from Beicheng often overshadows the bustle of the southern city.

Separated by a wall, but like two worlds, this is the Tianmen Pass of Great Xia, this is a pearl that blooms and radiates this light in the northernmost part of Great Xia, on the edge of danger, but for the snow people of the Far North Snow Field, this is the land of conquest they dream of.

However, the life of the old king of Bei'an has greatly enriched the after-dinner life of all the people of Daxia, in other words, it comes with its own gossip, and one of the most talked about points is that after the completion of the southern city of Tianmenguan, the happiest person is this old prince, who soaks in the dust almost every day, and does not ask about things, just to have fun, and even the palace located in the north city will never go back.

Therefore, a storyteller specially coined a word for it, calling it deep in the southern city, happy to think about the north, and it has been circulated among the people of Bactria for a long time.

But everyone in the world knows that the old King Bei'an is romantic, but what they don't know is that for so many years, the unnoticed Beicheng will open the city gate every once in a while to welcome the return of the Jiang family and the northern army who have gone deep into the snow field.

The knife hanging from their waist was completely scarlet, the red of the frozen blood, the red that had been sprayed on the snowman after he had cut off the head of the snowman.

As the old King of Bei'an said, the Jiang family, one of the fourteen clans with the surname Win, is a soldier guarding the northern frontier of Great Xia, no matter how the Tianmen Pass changes and develops, this most important mission has never been forgotten.

Between the north city and the south city of Jianmen Pass, there is a city wall to isolate it, and there is a main gate and several side gates in the city wall.

The side gate is guarded by sergeants all the year round, and the main gate in the center of the city wall is easily not opened, but once it is opened, it means that there is a major event in the Tianmen Pass.

But just this morning, when the sunlight had not pierced the darkness above the sky of this northern border pass, the main gate between the north and south cities of Tianmen Pass slowly opened, revealing a middle-aged general wearing blood-colored armor with a cold face, and a six-point resemblance to Jiang Yue.

The son-in-law of the king of Bei'an, Jiang Qing.

After the old king of Bei'an didn't ask about political affairs, the real controller of the entire Tianmen Pass, the commander-in-chief of the million northern army, the town of northern Xinjiang, and the marquis of Tianmen.

"Have you found it all out?"

An extremely sharp voice came out of Jiang Qing's mouth, and then a general behind him stepped forward and said:

"Master Hou, there are already some eyebrows, but I still need to confirm it!"

"The White Emperor Palace personally ordered to inquire about it, and this matter was important, but Ben Hou personally confirmed it. ”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Qing directly raised his legs forward and officially stepped into the boundary of Nancheng, and behind him, one after another elite northern troops followed silently, stretching for a full quarter of an hour!
