Feng Yijun is the east gate of Guanzhong, and the garrison is mainly in three places, one is Hancheng Longmen Pass, and Guan General He Chang led 20,000 troops to garrison.

Secondly, it is the 10,000 elites of Guangtong Warehouse. In the whole world, Yang Jian and his son have built six granaries, including Luokou Cang, Huiluocang, Changping Cang, which is known as the first warehouse in the world in the Central Plains, Heyang Cang in Hanoi County, Jizhou, Liyang Cang, and Guangtong Cang in Guanzhong.

When Li Yuan entered Guanzhong, because Empress Wei and Yang Yu distributed all the Guangtong warehouses to the people, Li Yuan got an empty warehouse, but after he sat in Guanzhong, he transferred a large amount of grain to fill it. This largest granary in Guanzhong is close to the Central Plains, and currently has nearly 5 million stone of grain and 300,000 sets of armaments, which shows that Li Yuan has made great preparations for entering the Central Plains.

Such a material powerhouse was guarded by Li Yuan's henchman Zhang Pinggao. Gaoping Plateau was the captain of the Yingyang Mansion of the Sui Dynasty and was stationed in Taiyuan. When Li Yuan served as the garrison of Taiyuan, in order to win the army, he deliberately curried favor with the lieutenant general of the Taiyuan Army, Zhang Pinggao was one of them, in the process of Li Yuan's Jinyang uprising, Zhang Pinggao has been involved in the overthrow of the Sui Dynasty and the great plan to seize the world. After Li Yuan raised the army, he appointed Zhang Pinggao as the head of the army, and was awarded the title of hussar general because of his meritorious deeds, and later changed to the left leading general and was named Xiao Guogong. After Li Yuan ascended the throne, he issued an edict to reward the fathers of the Taiyuan army, and Zhang Pinggao received a special reward for exempting him from capital crimes once in his life.

The third garrison town of Feng Yijun is Pujin Pass, which is across the river from Hedong City, with a strength of 10,000 troops, and is commanded by the general He Panren.

He Panren was originally a Hu merchant in the Western Regions, and when the world was in turmoil, he raised a team of tens of thousands of people with tens of thousands of family fortunes, and Li Xiuning was also prosperous in Guanzhong at that time, but her strength was only more than 5,000 soldiers at the most, and they were all peasant troops who lacked weapons and armor. He Panren intended to swallow Li Xiuning's subordinates, but he asked Li Xiuning to transfer the tiger away from the mountain and away from the main force, causing the nest to be destroyed by Li Xiuning, thus forcing He Panren to surrender, and swallowing He Panren's more than 40,000 soldiers and horses with 5,000 soldiers, and his strength also soared. In order to lay the foundation for the future incorporation of Li Zhongwen, Xiang Shanzhi, Qiu Shili and other righteous armies, Li Xiuning relied on this miscellaneous army to turn the regular army under the command of the famous general Qu Tutong, so that he could lead 70,000 troops to join Li Yuan in the future.

However, because Li Xiuning is a woman, after Li Yuan entered the customs, he immediately broke up the 70,000 army that Li Xiuning had worked hard to build, Li Xiuning was a woman's family, she had no ambitions, and after the military power was seized, she became her guard in Tongguan, but she valued love and righteousness, and took care of He Panren, Li Zhongwen, Xiang Shanzhi, Qiu Shili and other old subordinates, but after she married Yang Tong, He Panren and others lost their asylum, and because of their background as thieves, they suffered unfair treatment, and they were all marginalized, and the depression in their hearts can be imagined.

What makes He Panren even more depressed is that the commander of Feng Yijun is Li Tang's military secretary Qu Tutong, to be honest, although Qu Tutong has the title of a famous general in the world, He Panren really looks down on this 'famous general' who has been repeatedly defeated by them, and feels that he is not qualified to be the secretary of the military department at all, and he is not qualified to command himself...... Why should a defeated subordinate be his boss? And why do you point fingers at yourself? But the official university crushed people to death, no matter how much he disagreed, there was no way, because since Li Xiuning married Yang Tong, they have become outcasts who are not loved by their grandmother and uncle.

Under such a state of mind, he has a day of monks hitting the clock to deal with daily affairs, as the so-called upward and downward effect, the Lord will be so slack, and the soldiers below are naturally no better.

Late at night!

Under the cold moonlight, a cavalry of about 50,000 people galloped on the east bank of the Yellow River, heading straight to Pujin Pass on the opposite bank, led by Yang Dong, who quietly left Yecheng.

Pujin Pass is the dangerous pass that divides Qin and Jin, since ancient times, it is the ferry port that communicates the east and west, the two banks of the Yellow River north of Pujin Pass are cliffs, this is the famous Qin and Jin Grand Canyon, if you want to cross from the east of the river to the other bank, in addition to here, you can go north for more than 200 miles, you can cross the river from Longmen Pass, and then go south along the official road.

If Li Jing and others launched an attack on Guanzhong, the Tang army would inevitably strengthen its vigilance in various passes, so Yang Tong must lay a bridgehead in the shortest possible time. And Pujin Pass is undoubtedly the most suitable place to enter Guanzhong.

When there were still five or six miles away from Pujin Pass, Yang Tong waved his hand, and the team immediately stopped moving forward, looking west from the river, and vaguely saw the outline of the black mountain on the opposite bank, and Pujin Pass stood in the middle of the cliff.

"Your Highness!" A muffled voice came from the darkness, and Yang Tong looked back, but it was Chengyao Junsu of Hedong County.

Yao Junsu is a very upright person, he is loyal to the Great Sui, when Qu Tutong lost Hedong County, he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and was ordered by Li Yuan to persuade Yao Junsu to surrender, but was scolded by a scold, but Hedong County has been lost on all fronts, he is powerless to return to the sky, helplessly with thousands of soldiers in Hedong, defected to the then Ji County guard Pei Renji, Yang Tong was felt by his loyalty, after taking the state, he appointed him as Hedong County. After taking office, he wholeheartedly assisted Pei Renji and worked hard to train Hedong elite soldiers in order to recover Guanzhong.

"General Yao, please speak." For Yao Junsu, a loyal person who would rather die than give in, Yang Tong only has supreme respect.

"Your Highness, this He Panren was once one of Concubine Li's most loyal subordinates, although he is a Hu person, but his ability is good. Since Concubine Li married His Royal Highness, He Panren has been deeply excluded by the generals of Li Tang, and according to the information we have obtained, he is deeply depressed and unwilling, and he spends his days with fine wine, and his military affairs are basically left to the adjutant general. If you use Concubine Li's relationship to persuade her to surrender, you can save a lot of trouble, and you can even take Pujin Pass unknowingly. Yao Junsu suggested.

Yang Tong nodded and said in a low voice, "General Yao is extremely right. By the way, what is the situation in Pujin Pass now? ”

"Pujin Pass was originally a pass from the inside out, but after being burned by a fire by His Royal Highness, Li Yuan repaired and rebuilt it, and now it is a square city, and Longmen Pass and Tongguan have also been changed to this appearance. If we conquer it, we only need to send 10,000 elite soldiers to garrison it, which can block 100,000 troops, and at the same time, it can also be used as a logistics center for our army. ”

"Hmm!" Yang Tong nodded, and looked at the slowly coming caravan, this is the Lingyun caravan formed by the Ministry of Commerce, and when Bingzhou was still in the hands of Li Tang, this caravan had already been connected with Li Yuanji, and each business gave Li Yuanji a fifty percent bonus, so he could freely wander between the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Yang Tong knew that Li Yuanji was not a literati, and he would not do this kind of business, so it was definitely Li Yuan's idea behind this, the purpose was to use these cheap books to impact the advantages of the family, so that the people at the bottom could have books to read, it can be said that in this regard, Li Yuan's mind coincided with Yang Tong, and all this was done to consolidate the imperial power, Yang Tong was naturally happy to see it, so he pretended not to know about opening the door to the Lingyun caravan.

It's just that the Sui and Tang dynasties have cut off business contacts, so the Lingyun caravan can only 'smuggle' between the Sui and Tang dynasties at night under the tacit understanding of the leaders of the two sides, and this gives Yang Tong the opportunity to cheat the city.

This time in charge of the fraud city is Shen Guang who has deceived Huoyi, Shen Guang was a Jianghu figure, he is bold and careful, sociable, very suitable for this kind of thing, Yang Tong confessed to Shen Guang, and the firm slowly boarded the ferry under the gaze of everyone, and went to Pujin Pass on the other side.

The caravan consisted of more than 300 people, each of whom led a donkey or mule, loaded with various goods, led by a donkey under the banner of 'Lingyun Firm'.

The person in charge of the Lingyun Commercial Bank was named Han Zhi, and he was one of the persons in charge of the Guanzhong Intelligence Point, and Shen Guang and Wei Chigong, who were disguised, followed behind him.

"Although Li Tang strictly forbade my Great Sui merchants to enter Guanzhong, there were countermeasures under the ban. Therefore, if you can't go during the day, the business trips on both sides of the tour will pass at night, and as long as you pay a customs fee, the defenders will let everyone pass. Not only our Lingyun caravan, but also other trading houses. The defenders of Pujin Pass were very greedy, and they all rushed to be on duty at night, because the oil and water here were so large. Han Zhi introduced the doorway to Shen Guang and Wei Chigong.

Shen Guang said with a smile: "It was the same when I defrauded Huo Yi back then, it seems that Li Yuan still doesn't have a long memory. ”

Han Zhi said: "It's not that Li Yuan doesn't have a long memory, but the caravan that can return to the two places, the background is all Guanlong nobles, Li Yuan's dependence on the Guanlong nobles is great, and he doesn't dare to do anything harmful to the interests of the Guanlong nobles, so he can only turn a blind eye." ”

Shen Guang stopped talking.

Just because the front is already Pujin Pass.

At this time, the moonlight was obscured by the huge mountains on both sides, and the front of the tall pass became dark, and they could not see the situation in the city, and someone in the darkness cried out in a deep voice, "Who is coming?" ”

When the caravan heard this, it stopped advancing, and Han Zhi stepped forward and said, "Which general is on duty, Captain Li or Captain Jin?" ”

Another rough voice came from the city, "I'm Jin Qing, is it Han Dongzhu below?" ”

"It's the villain! General Kim, is it convenient tonight? Han Zhi said with a smile.

"Lord Han, the Holy Lord made a decree yesterday. No one is allowed to pass the customs, you will be fine if you come two days earlier, now ......" Jin Qing's meaning was that he would not be able to do it tonight.

Wei Chigong was in a hurry, he was about to speak, but he was already stopped by Shen Guang, signaling him to wait and see.

I only heard Han Zhi say unhurriedly: "General Jin also knows what kind of business we are doing now, and he also knows who the master behind us is. The temperament of that one is known throughout the Guanzhong. General Jin's convenience is also for himself, otherwise, everyone will be unlucky. ”

Jin Qing was silent for a moment, and then said: "Lord Han, it's not that I won't help you, but the holy order is here, and that one has to stand aside." I understand your plight, but please understand my plight! If I let you pass, in case you are found out by the people above, losing your official position is still a trivial matter, and maybe even the family will lose their heads... You get the idea..."

"Let's add 20% to the customs clearance fee!" Han Zhi said with a smile.

Wei Chigong suddenly realized that he really didn't understand these rules, and if he came by himself, he would definitely be exposed.

"It's an extraordinary time, add three percent, add three percent, and I'll let you pass." Kim Kyung revealed his true colors.

"If it's thirty percent, I'll run away in vain, it's not easy, and please let the general let me!"

"Han Dongzhu's goods arrived in Guanzhong, which was more than ten times the huge profit! If you eat meat, you have to let us soldiers drink some broth! ”

"Three makes three into three!" Han Zhi sighed, with a painful tone, showing the temperament of a profiteer to the fullest.

The heavy door of Pujin Pass slowly opened, and Han Zhi gave Shen Guang a look, who nodded knowingly.
