After the Huashan faction surrendered to the Celestial Army, they formed a ten-member regiment with Jiutian Zhenren and his nine apprentices, and helped the Celestial Army quickly recover the eastern section of the Qinling Mountains and the surrounding areas.

Their main method of helping is to plot rebellion.

Their method of rebellion was that these ten-member regiments were dispatched one after another to the target of the current attack of the Celestial Army, and persuaded the lay disciples of the Chinese sect who were in charge of the army there to surrender to the Celestial Army.

Because the Huashan faction had a significant influence in the local area, these heavyweight high-ranking leaders came out, flattering those lay disciples.

In a trance, he immediately obeyed his words.

In this way, Huayin, Luonan, Danfeng, Qiannan, Lushi, Huaxian, Qiluo, Lantian and other places all surrendered to the territory of the Heavenly Army at the first time.

There is only Tongguan, not too smooth, although it is the Nine Heavens Zhenren who personally went out.

Although this lay disciple was not included in the ranks of Huashan Zheng's disciples, he had a formal disciple's name called Zhao Yijing.

It turned out that he had been to Huashan, but later because he was keen on fame and fortune, he also went to officialdom, so he is now the president of Qian, responsible for the defense affairs of the entire Tongguan.

As soon as the Nine Heavens Zhenren arrived, they immediately explained their intentions and asked Zhao Yijing to surrender to the Heavenly Army.

Zhao Yijing immediately fell into a dilemma.

On the one hand, he really didn't want to surrender, and on the other hand, he didn't want to offend the master, and at the same time, he didn't dare, if the master got angry, he really couldn't bear it.

So, he was perfunctory.

On the one hand, he entertained the Master with extreme enthusiasm, and on the other hand, he did not give the Master permission and dragged on without surrendering.

After a day of delay, Jiutian Zhenren was in a hurry! Because the deadline for the Heavenly Army has arrived, and if he does not surrender, it is tantamount to not doing it as agreed, and Jiutian is also a good-looking person. He couldn't afford to lose that face.

So, he directly broke into Zhao Yijing's camp, issued an ultimatum, and surrendered immediately!

Otherwise, capture him alive and give him to the Heavenly Army! Just give the Heavenly Army a dead corpse!

Zhao Yijing had no choice but to submit to his master.

The Qing army surrendered, and the Celestial army entered Tongguan.

Because Zhao Yijing was a battlefield uprising, according to the practice of the Heavenly Army, he was assigned a brigade commander of the Heavenly Army, which was equivalent to an official promotion, and the number of his troops increased from more than 1,000 to more than 3,000.

His defense zone is also still Tongguan.

The part of the Heavenly Army that originally belonged to Cheng Tunjin here still belongs to the original system. Wang Shaojie's ten regiments of reinforcements were ordered to be stationed at Tongguan.

Zhao Yijing belongs to Wang Shaojie's moderation.

When Mai Kelin left for the Taihang Mountains, he deliberately came to this strategic ancient city, on the one hand, to admire this important city, and on the other hand, to deploy the defense here.

Mai Ke had to go around, Wang Shaojie accompanied him, and he himself also needed to understand the surrounding terrain.

Combined with his previous military knowledge and field observations, Mai Ke has a deeper understanding of this strategic location.

Wang Shaojie has never seen such a majestic pass. Increased awareness of the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland.

The history of Tongguan has a long history.

The Book of Tang contains "the ancient Tao Linsai".

"Zuo Biography" also has a record of "the Marquis of Jin made Zhan Jia guard the fortress of the peach forest".

The extent of the peach grove at that time. It includes the east of Tongguan to the west of Nanling Bao County.

During the Warring States Period, Hangu Pass became the east gate of Qin, which was in the area of Wangduo Village, Potou Township, Lingbao County, and was adjacent to Hongnongjian in the east

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao and Ma Chao fought in Tongguan, and the name of Tongguan was first seen in history.

Tongguan Guancheng was founded in the Han Dynasty. On the source south of the port, that is, near Yangjiazhuang.

In the seventh year of the Sui Dynasty, that is, in 611, the city was moved to the area of the north village of the south city of Yangjiazhuang, and the north and south of the Han Dynasty were sandwiched between the north and south. The formation of two gates, the shape of shì is more dangerous.

Tang Wu granted two years every day, that is, in 691, Tongguan moved north from the plateau to the source, and opened a road along the river, which is the current Tongguan.

In order to consolidate their dominance, the rulers of all dynasties have stationed heavy troops here and set up guards to guard them.

Tongguan, repaired many times since the Song and Ming dynasties, is well preserved.

The west gate has the gatehouse of the Ming Dynasty building, commonly known as "Qiao Tower", which is magnificent and magnificent.

"Water Jing Note" contains: "The river flows in the south of the Guan, Tong Jiguan Mountain", so it has to be called Tong, because "Tong waves are turbulent", also known as Chongguan.

There is the Qinling Barrier in the south, there is the Yellow River moat in the north, there is the year in the east, there is the natural defense line that crosses the east and west, such as the forbidden ditch, the original Wanggou, the Manluo River, etc., and it is bound to become "close the door and choke Kyushu, and the birds can not pass".

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a large-scale increase in Tongguan; among them, Liu Tong built a city with a thousand households, and commanded Jin Shima to increase and repair the city card to build the city wall "according to the mountain situation and twists and turns", which was later called the Ming City.

In the Qing Dynasty, it was expanded and expanded, bordering the Yellow River in the north, crossing the Phoenix and Qilin Mountains in the south, extending the Qilin Mountain in the south along the East-West Road in the east, and extending the Qilin Mountain in the south along the East-West Avenue.

What Mai Ke and Wang Shaojie see now is the result of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's construction of the city.

On these four mountains, the two agreed to allocate a regiment to defend them.

A bird's-eye view of the whole city, you can see that the city gate is open in six places, each with two holes, and there are urn cities connected.

The east gate is called Jin Steep, the first name is "Ying'en", and then it is changed to "Ping Fan and Shaanxi".

In the west, it was called "Huaiyuan", and later changed to "control zhì Sanqin".

There are two south gates, the east one is called the upper south gate, first named "Lingyun", then changed to "Linyou", then changed to "Lanshan"; the west side is called the lower south gate, first named "Yingxun", then changed to "Fengyi".

There are also two north gates, and the west side is the big north gate, which is called "flood absorption" at first, and then changed to "Baying".

There are two gates in the north and south waters, seven sluice towers are built at the north gate in the south, and there are overpasses in the gate, and nine sluice gates are built at the north gate. There are six city gates, except for the south gate, there are two in the east and west cities. Tongshui passes through the city and flows into the Yellow River through the Tongjin Bridge.

Tongguan history is called "the first risk in Jinnei", is "the key to the three Qin towns", "the throat of the four towns", since the end of the Han Dynasty to establish the county has a history of more than 2,000 years. It occupies the intersection of Shanxi, Henan and Shaanxi, and is a place where soldiers have always been contested.

For the six gates, the two also agreed on the arrangement of troops.

"You have three tasks, Shaojie! First, block the Qing soldiers, resolutely prevent not a single soldier from entering the customs from here, and ensure the victory of our decisive battle between the two rivers.

"Second, take the heavenly army from the west and the northwest, and let them pass through the pass. Go and participate in the decisive battle of the two rivers, and let no one stop the heavenly army from entering the area of the decisive battle of the two rivers.

"Third, keep a firm eye on the newly surrendered Zhao Yijing, use them restrictedly, contribute to the purpose of the Heavenly Army, and don't let them do bad things!"

After looking at the terrain. Mai Ke explained the reason for keeping Wang Shaojie stationed in Tongguan.

"Resolutely complete the task!" Wang Shaojie assured without hesitation, and then asked, "That Zhao Yijing has a problem?"

"Yes, I see that his expression is uncertain, and the surrender of the Heavenly Army seems to be perfunctory, most of it is the result of the suppression of the Nine Heavens True People, you just need to pay more attention to it. ”

"Do you want to strike first and rule out this potential trouble first?" Wang Shaojie resolutely asked.

"No! When he shows his will and takes action, he is giving a thunderous blow! It is not only convincing to others, but also has a definite deterrent effect. At the moment, your main focus is on this issue, ostensibly refurbishing the defenses and preparing to face the enemy. ”

After Mai Ke finished speaking, he told Wang Shaojie's contact information, and went to chase after the army.

What the two didn't know was that during the inspection of the two, Zhao Yijing had already decided to go against the Heavenly Army and continue to join the Manchus.

In fact. His mind has not changed, just because of the strong pressure of the Nine Heavens True People. He took an expedient measure and surrendered to the Celestial Army with all the members of the Quanzhen Sect.

Now, the Nine Heavens True Man has left with the Heavenly Army, and he has no pressure; he really doesn't pay attention to Wang Shaojie, the leader of the Heavenly Army, but he is just a young man in his twenties!

Don't say it's him. Mai Ke is not a problem, he is not convinced, why would he succumb to them!

However, if that's it, he won't rebel now, at least he will have to wait a little longer.

The key to his immediate offense was that he had a guest.

This guest is Snake Three. From the Regents.

The spirit completely controlled Emperor Xianfeng, so Snake San became a Qincha, not only using his three-inch incorruptible tongue to successfully complete the bewitchment of him, but also brought him a holy decree.

The holy decree said that if he could firmly grasp the Tongguan Pass and ensure that the Manchu army would leave the Tong Pass and enter the Central Plains, and at the same time block the passage of the Heavenly Army, he would be appointed as the overseer of the first province and the second rank of official residence!

This was his dream goal!

Now that he is so close to his goal, he is within reach, won't he be desperate?

What is the Quanzhen Sect! What is the Nine Heavenly True People! What the Heavenly Army! Fuck off his grandmother! Who dares to stop Lao Tzu from being promoted to an official and making a fortune, I will play with him!

In this way, he completed the preparations for the rebellion at the speed of seizing the day, and as soon as Mai Ke left, Wang Shaojie just arrived at the camp, and he killed him!

The soldiers he brought were all his subordinates, 1,000 were his old men, and 2,000 were newly adapted.

However, these newly adapted people were all summoned by the emperor's desperate order, and they were basically regimental training and township soldiers, so not only was their combat effectiveness not low, but their thoughts were basically the same as Zhao Yijing's.

Wang Shaojie didn't expect this guy to reveal his true face so soon, and sneered: "If you look for death, I'll give you a ride!"

Then he led 3,000 men and horses out, and the others defended the city in order.

Unexpectedly, Snake Three went out first.

I don't know if it's because he rebelled against Zhao Yijing, his confidence has increased greatly, he was full of confidence when he came out, with a smile on his ugly face, and he talked boastfully about Wang Shaojie.

Speaking of Xingtou, he also took out a holy decree, bright yellow, and those who know the goods must know that this is a special office supplies for the royal family, and the official position on it is the same as that given to Zhao Yijing.

It's just that it doesn't say that the pass is stuck, but that as long as you surrender to the Manchus, you can get the post of overseer.

I almost didn't make Zhao Yijing's nose crooked!

Wang Shaojie ignored it at first, and when he proudly threw out the holy decree, promised his official position, and expected the other party to surrender immediately, like Zhao Yijing, he heard a thunderous explosion!

"Give me death!"

Wang Shaojie was angry with a spear, like lightning, and went straight to the throat of Snake San!.
