Chapter 0687 - Etiquette
Xiaoguan is located in Gaoping County, Anding County (not Gaoping in later generations), and is 200 miles away from Yueshi City.
It is not an independent pass, but refers to the defensive belt of nearly 30 miles in the area of Wating Gorge.
The two sides of the canyon face each other, and the water flows, and the terrain can be used to build large and small forts, dock forts, and form a three-dimensional defense system.
Xiao Pass stands on a high place, and it is always dangerous.
However, since Emperor Guangwu reestablished the Han Dynasty, there were no forces in the north and west that could threaten Guanzhong.
Even in the era of Tanshi Huai, most of them invaded from Youzhou and Bingzhou, and at most added Liangzhou.
The southbound route of Xiaoguan in Anding County, which is in the middle of Bingzhou and Liangzhou, is rarely mentioned.
In the Liangzhou Rebellion of the Later Han Dynasty, most of the Qianghu also took Guanlong Avenue, crossed Longshan through Longguan, and entered Guanzhong.
I have to say that compared with the former Han Dynasty, the importance of Xiao Guan has decreased a lot.
In addition, the latest large-scale Liangzhou Qiang Rebellion ended in the hands of Cao Cao, and until Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, Liangzhou, Longyou, and Guanzhong were all under the control of Wei.
To the north of Xiaoguan are the scattered Qianghu, which pose no threat at all.
As a result, Xiao Guan's status further declined, and it was basically in a state of semi-desolation.
Therefore, Zhao Guang was able to take advantage of Anding County's response to the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty and easily capture Xiaoguan.
Under the escort of his own soldiers, Yang Tiao ran all the way west overnight, and ran to the city of Xiaoguan in the afternoon of the next day.
Zhao Guang, who was cooking in the hot pot, heard that Yang Tiao had brought his clansmen to Xiao Guan, and was so frightened that the mutton on the chopsticks fell on the table.
"How could Yang Tiao come here at this time? Isn't there something going on in Yueshi City? ”
Zhao Guang, who is the general of Xiao Guan, naturally does not eat mutton in hot pot all day long, but he also has some reaction ability.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly got up, picked up the mutton that had fallen on the table, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Then he hurried to the city pass and saw more than 100 people under the pass, and the leader was Yang Tiao.
Seeing Zhao Guang poking his head out, Yang Tiao, who was so tired that he stuck out his tongue, was in high spirits, "General Zhao, the Wei thief is in a hurry, please open the city gate!" ”
There was a sound of footsteps beside him, Zhao Guang turned his head to look, and saw Yang Wan coming over in a hurry, "General, there is no Wei army outside the canyon." ”
The main purpose of Xiao Guan was to guard against the west and north, and did not pay much attention to the east.
Therefore, the location of Xiaoguan was originally selected, which was biased towards the east.
Compared to the west, the east canyon is much shorter, and the terrain is not so dangerous, so the role of Seki is particularly important.
Although Zhao Guang is not good in other aspects, he is still qualified in terms of leadership.
At the same time, he has an advantage, that is, he is obedient and listens to Feng Yong's words.
Feng Yong asked him to guard Xiao Pass, and he always kept it in mind if he didn't leave lightly.
Hearing Yang Qian's words, Zhao Guang groaned, "This can only mean that the Wei army is not outside the canyon, we still have to be careful." Wei Ran, you personally take people down. ”
"Remember to put down the weapons of those people outside the city first, and then let them in, be careful. Also, after leading them into the customs, they must be supervised in a centralized manner, and they are not allowed to move around at will. ”
Yang Wan hugged his fists and said, "No! ”
After a while, Yang Qian led Yang Tiao to Zhao Guang.
"What's going on?"
Before Yang Tiao could salute, Zhao Guang asked.
Yang Tiao's face was full of shame, "General Hui, Yueshi City is lost." ”
Zhao Guang's heart sank, and he took a deep breath, "How did you lose it?" ”
"Cao thieves are rampant, sneak attack at night, the villain is caught off guard for a while, and someone gets his hands on it......"
The more Yang Tiao spoke, the more ashamed he became.
Zhao Guang listened to his words, and his face immediately turned pale.
At the beginning, he had asked Yang Tiao to move to the west, so he didn't attach much importance to Yueshi City, what he valued was the righteous army led by Yang Tiao, which could echo with Xiao Guan.
The attitude towards Yueshi City is that it is best to hold on, so that you can put more pressure on Guanzhong.
It doesn't matter if you can't hold it, as long as Xiao Guan has it in his hand, he can go south at any time.
As for Yang Tiao, his symbolism is more important than Yue's City, and he must be kept from dying as much as possible.
Now seeing that Yang Tiao can run safely to Xiaoguan by himself, it is a blessing in misfortune.
It's just that he thinks that Yueshi City was attacked and lost, and he doesn't even know when the Wei army will go north, it's just careless!
If Wei Jun came to Xiao Pass this time, wouldn't he have to suffer a big loss?
Thinking of this, Zhao Guang asked about the Wei army that attacked Yueshi City again, but he didn't know that this Yang Tiao was squeaky and unclear, only said that the Wei army had at least more than 10,000 people.
Zhao Guang couldn't, so he had to send someone to lead him down to rest first.
When he returned to the general's mansion in Guancheng and sent everyone out, leaving only Yang Wan, Zhao Guang gritted his teeth and scolded: "Waste!" ”
"I lost the city in a daze, not to mention how many people there are on the other side, even the other party's main general doesn't know who it is!"
"This rabble, I really shouldn't have expected anything from them in the first place!"
Yang Wan opened his mouth and said: "Didn't Yang Tiao say that there are at least more than 10,000 Cao thieves?" ”
Zhao Guang sneered: "More than 10,000? If there are more than 10,000, what about the night attack? Can he still have the opportunity to run to Xiaoguan with his wife and children? ”
remembered that he had persuaded Yang Tiao to move to the west several times, and he had to defend Yueshi City.
Now that a lost dog came to find him, but he couldn't even bring a little useful information about the Cao thief, Zhao Guang became more and more annoyed.
"Wei Ran, in the past few days, you have sent a sentry to find out what is going on in Yue's City."
Yang Qian nodded: "Okay." ”
"After all, our vision is still not as good as that of our brother." Zhao Guang sighed, "My brother decided to train in the winter to let the soldiers adapt to fighting in the cold winter, and it was prescient." ”
When Yang Wan heard Zhao Guang's words, he said with a little worry: "Yiwen also wants his senior brother to train in the winter?" I'm afraid that something will be wrong. ”
"Why don't I know?" Zhao Guang smiled bitterly.
Not to mention himself, even his own adult, who is the governor of Longyou, is afraid that he does not have the ability of his brother, and dares to implement a large-scale military training plan in winter.
In the past, whether it was in Nanxiang, or Nanzheng, or even stationed in Fu County, there was a brother who arranged the rear, and he only needed to lead the army, and he didn't have to worry about so many things, and he felt that it was very easy to lead the army.
Now he leads the army to guard Xiao Pass, under the jurisdiction of the Longyou Governor's Mansion, although the Governor is his own adult, but he always feels a little uncomfortable.
I have a lot of things to think about, and I always have a feeling of being constrained, which is far less fluid than when I have the full support of my brother in the rear.
"Before we inquire about the reality of the Wei army, we have to be extremely careful these days."
Zhao Guang thought for a moment and said, "In this way, the two of us take turns to inspect the various walled forts outside the gate every day, so as not to repeat the mistakes of Yueshi City." ”
The two discussed how to strengthen the defense, and at the same time sent someone to quickly inform the governor of Longyou about the loss of Yueshi City.
By the time Feng Yong got the news from the Longyou Governor's Mansion, it was already December, and it had entered the coldest season.
An engineering team in Pingxiang built a yard for himself in advance and built a pit.
Shouyang doesn't have this condition, and the usual way to heat is to sit on the edge of the fire and roast the fire.
"Xiahou Ba attacked Yueshi City at night?" Feng Yong took the official document and threw it casually, "Even if Erlang was dragged down by Yang Tiao this time, he was really sitting at home, and disaster came from heaven." ”
Although it was not Zhao Guang's fault that Yueshi City was lost, who called Xiao Guan the closest to Yueshi City?
Moreover, the nominal Yueshi City is still under the protection of the Xiao Pass defenders.
The loss of Yueshi City is not a big problem.
But I don't know how Yue's City was lost, this face is really a bit big.
Now I can only find out that the defender of Yueshi City is Xiahou Ba, isn't it funny?
If you change yourself to be the governor of Longyou, you will also be annoyed.
Yang Tiao is a righteous person, how can he be punished?
So the board will definitely fall on Zhao Guang's head.
What's more, the governor of Longyou still beats Zhao Guang from childhood to adulthood?
Feng Yongxian mourned for Zhao Guang for a second.
Guan Ji picked up the official document and was about to read it carefully, when he heard Feng Yong muttering again: "This Xiahou Ba, has it finally appeared?" ”
"Ah Lang knows this Xiahou Ba?" Guan Ji asked with some curiosity.
"I don't know, but I've heard of it." Feng Yong shook his head, "His lordship, Xijun should know that it is Xiahou Yuan who was killed by General Huang. ”
Xiahou Yuan was killed by Huang Zhong, and his son Xiahou Ba seems to be very likely to face Zhao Guang in the near future.
And Zhao Guang, nine times out of ten, is the son-in-law of the Huang family.
Thinking of this, Feng Yong couldn't help but smile strangely, this fate was really wonderful.
It was Guan Ji, seeing Feng Yong's look, he directly kicked him: "Xiahou Yuan is the uncle of the old lady of Xixiang Houfu." ”
"I heard that Xiahou Yuan would rather starve his young son to death than feed the old lady, which is even closer than his own daughter."
"Later, Xiahou Yuan died in Dingjun Mountain, and the old lady asked the first emperor to let her collect Xiahou Yuan's bones and bury her."
Zhang Xiahou is actually not old, just over forty.
It's just that seeing the firelight reflecting Guan Ji's face red, it looks even more beautiful, Zhang Xiahou's ...... That's the proper old lady.
The only thing that puzzled Feng Yong was that Xi Jun's reaction seemed to be a little bigger, so he muttered: "Even if the old lady is Xiahou Yuan's biological daughter, what does it matter to me?" ”
Guan Ji seemed to have a smile on his face: "In this case, isn't Xiahou Ba Siniang's cousin?" No wonder Ah Lang is so familiar. ”
Feng Yong was sweating profusely.
Your imagination is really rich!
But how should I explain why I knew about Xiahouba?
Feng Junhou began to think hard.
After a long time, his gaze fell on Guan Ji's body, and he said, "Xijun, have you noticed that since you were happy, your body has become more and more rounded?" ”
Guan Ji: ......
At this time, the maid who was guarding outside rescued Feng Yong: "Marquis of the Emperor, Mu Niangzi has arrived in Shouyang and is entering the city. ”
"Oh, so fast?"
Feng Yongyi is happy.
Although from Hanzhong to Qishan, you can take the Western Han Water Waterway, and from Jicheng to Xiangwu, you can go all the way along Weishui to the west.
But after all, it was such a cold day, Li Mu was able to arrive so quickly, and his movements were really fast.
"Mu Niangzi has been going back and forth for the past two months, worrying about Ah Lang's affairs, and for the sake of the concubine, it must be hard work, Ah Lang has to thank others."
Guan Ji reminded from the side.
"I know." Feng Yong nodded and stood up, "Xijun, you sit here, I'll go out and pick it up." ”
A dignified prince, going out to greet a Mu Niangzi, this is enough to give face, right?
When Li Mu, who had just come from the city gate, saw Feng Yong standing at the gate of the Shuai Mansion, his face changed, and he stepped forward quickly, curtsied, and said, "The concubine has seen the prince." ”
"Get up, no need to be polite." Feng Yong motioned for her to get up, "It's hard to travel from Hanzhong this way." ”
As soon as Li Mu heard Feng Yong's words, he got up and looked around, opened his mouth, and didn't dare to ask.
Although she didn't say it explicitly, Feng Yong still saw the question she didn't dare to ask from her bright eyes.
smiled at the moment, "I just came out to greet you, please inside." ”
When she didn't say this, not only did Li Mu show a look of sincere fear on her face, but even the entourage behind her also showed a look of horror.
"The prince is such a big gift, and the concubine really doesn't dare to be it."
The famous Mu Niangzi's face turned pale with fright, and she took a few steps back and stood solemnly.
"Others can't deserve it, only you can." Feng Yong smiled nonchalantly, "It's cold outside, let's go first." ”
Li Mu's lips twitched, not daring to take a step.
"This is also what Xijun meant, saying that you are going back and forth between Longyou and Hanzhong, it is really too hard, let me thank you well."
Feng Yong explained again.
Li Mu didn't hear this sentence clearly, and only remembered the first half of the sentence.
Hearing that this was also what Mrs. Junhou meant, she dared to speak, "Junhou first, please." ”
Feng Yong: ......
How do I feel as if something is subtle wrong?
