Chapter 200: Surrounded by group passes, Luoyang eight passes

The million-strong army is a combat force that can destroy the Han Dynasty, and all parties must not pay attention to it, and what the Yellow Turban did in Yanzhou has also successfully gathered the attention of countless forces here, and all major forces are fully supervising the Yellow Turban's every move, and this naturally includes the big one.

Although Da He He has been paralyzed by the joint infiltration of Taipingwei and Hei Bingtai, most of them are currently paralyzed, and although it is unlikely that they want to reverse infiltrate the Yellow Turban Army, it is more than enough to find out the exact news.

For more than two months, the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou was only transporting grain and training, and there was no sign that they were going to fight at all.

Approaching November, the colder the climate, the less likely it is that the Yellow Turban will launch a decisive battle, but the imperial court still strictly orders the front-line soldiers to strictly defend it, after all, no one knows whether Zhang Jiao will play cards according to the routine.

It's a pity that there are policies and countermeasures!

Although the imperial court ordered the front-line soldiers not to slack off, they only had a thousand days to be a thief, how could they prevent thieves the day before yesterday?

The officers and men of the Han army on the front line never imagined that the Yellow Turban Army, which had been training honestly for more than two months without the slightest sign of attack, had been confusing them.

In November, a heavy snow swept across the Central Plains, and in the cold, no one expected that Xiang Yu would lead the elite of the Yellow Turban and launch a surprise attack.

This raid plan was naturally planned by Guo Jia, and then proposed by Xiang Yu, the specific situation is also very simple, skillfully paralyzing the Han army by the weather, and it will definitely win the battle by surprise.

Of course, Guo Jia's move has another deep meaning, that is, to improve Xiang Yu's status in Zhang Jiao's heart.

This raid is not a decisive battle, but just a preparation for a decisive battle in the coming year, completely pushing the battle line to the front line of the Tiger Prison Pass, of course, it is naturally the best to win the Tiger Prison Pass.

Although Lu Zhi retreated to the Tiger Pass, he did not give up several cities between the Tiger Pass and Chenliu, and Lu Zhi also set up more than ten dangerous villages along the way, preparing to use this as a line of defense to resist and consume the strength of the Yellow Turban Army.

Zhang Jiao ordered people to estimate that if the Han army relied on these defense lines to defend to the death, the attack of the Yellow Turbans in one city and one village would be filled with at least 100,000 lives when it reached the Tiger Prison Pass.

And now Guo Jia's surprise attack strategy has directly disintegrated all the preparations of the Han army in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, and also reduced the damage of the Yellow Turban Army by 100,000 troops, Zhang Jiao naturally will not refuse.

The surprise attack caught the Han army off guard, and the Yellow Turban elite soldiers were exhausted, and Xiang Yu personally led the army, so naturally there was no fortress that could not be attacked.

Then Xiang Yu launched a blitzkrieg, several fortified cities, more than ten dangerous villages, were pulled out by Xiang Yu within a month, fortunately Lu Zhi reacted quickly, otherwise the Tiger Prison Pass might be captured by Xiang Yu.

Since then, between Luoyang and Chenliu, there are only two dangerous passes left, Tiger Prison Pass and Dagu Pass, which are of course the two most difficult to attack.

Xiang Yu, who has made great contributions, has a great reputation in the Yellow Turban Army, and with the identity of Zhang Jiao's son-in-law and Xiang Yan's support, Xiang Yu has become the person with the most voice as Zhang Jiao's heir, and Zhang Jiao has also had some subtle changes in his heart because of this "Xiang Yu" plan.

Zhang Jiao is also a mortal, there will always be some selfishness, if Xiang Yu is suitable, he will naturally not hand over the Yellow Turban Army to outsiders.

But what Zhang Jiao didn't know was that it was his infirmity that made the Yellow Turban form three factions, and secretly fought endlessly.

Luoyang, the land of heaven, is located in the center of the Heluo Plain, the land is fertile, the products are abundant, and surrounded by mountains on three sides, one is facing water, the southeast and northwest eight passes are four stops, the Xiongguan is numerous, the situation is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In March of the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and within a few months, most of the Kanto region fell, and hundreds of officials in the government and the opposition were shocked.

In the east of Luoyang, although there is a tiger prison and natural danger, but the Yellow Turban also has a million male soldiers, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty do not think that only one Xiongguan can resist a million male divisions.

In order to protect the safety of the Beijing Division, the Han Emperor Liu Hong took Henan Yin Hejin as the general, and led the Yulin Army and the five lieutenants to camp Tundu Pavilion to town the Beijing Division.

Later, the eight passes were set up around Luoyang to control the military and political affairs of the eight passes and guard the safety of Kyoto, and the eight passes were: Hangu, Yique, Guangcheng, Otani, Yuyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, and Xiaopingjin Eight Passes.

Hangu Pass is located in the west of Luoyang, it is the fortress of Luoyang leading to the west, the east refers to Luodu, the west looks at Chang'an, the south is adjacent to the Jianhe River, the north is based on the mountain, there is the risk of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people do not open", it is the first of the eight passes in Luoyang.

Yique Pass is located in the south of Luoyang, the mouth of Longmen Mountain and Xiangshan, the two mountains are sandwiched, the Yi River flows through it, it is an important pass in the south of Kyoto, it is the only way for Luoyang to go south and Jingxiang to the north.

Guangchengguan is located in the south of Guangchengyuan, Linru Town, known as "two mountains and one river", its northeast has Changworm Mountain, Niangniang Mountain, Monk Mountain, Baiyun Mountain, Panlong Mountain, southwest has Dama Mountain, Dahuling, since ancient times is the fortress leading to Ruying.

And near Guangcheng Pass, there is Guangchengze, around 400 miles, the water out of the Langgao Mountain, southeast into Rushui, from the Ruying area to the north to Jingluo, here is the place that must pass.

Taigu Guan built about the valley between Songshan and Longmen Mountain, "Luoyang Ji" said: "Taigu, fifty miles south of Luocheng, the old name Tonggu", in wartime, here can ambush heavy soldiers, cut off the north-south traffic, for the ancient battlefield that the soldiers of the past dynasties will fight.

About the junction of Yanshi and Dengfeng, it is the shortcut to Xu, Chen in Luoyang, the pass is in the Eling Mountain, between the Taimu Mountain and the Shaomu Mountain, the road is dangerous, there are 12 curves, the loop is circling, it will go to be returned, so it is called the Yuanyuan Pass.

The Eling Pass in the south of it, there is another pass, it is chiseled by Ma Zhongfu Yonggong of Yanshi County in the Song Dynasty, the road is open, the people are convenient and profitable, the local people call the Eling Pass, also called the new Yuyuan Pass.

The revolving gate is about the area of ten miles in the southwest of Xingyang Bishui, and the Eastern Han Dynasty takes Chenggao Revolving Gate Pass as the first pass in the southeast of Luoyang.

Ban Zhao's "Eastern Expedition Fu" Zhongyun: "The exchange of Wanghe Luo, seen as the revolving door of Gao", refers to this pass, Luoyang passes through here to the east, that is, there is no choke can be guarded.

Mengjin Pass, also known as Heyang Pass, is in the north of Luoyang, Mengjin is five miles away from the horse, and is an important ferry port on the Yellow River in ancient times. This is the place where King Wu of Zhou crossed the river with the princes when he crossed the river, also known as Mengjin, also known as Fupingjin.

The Western Jin Dynasty Fengle Pavilion Hou Du pre-set up the first pontoon bridge on the Yellow River here, called the "River Bridge".

The Northern Wei Dynasty also placed the three cities of Heyang on the north and south banks and on the sandbar in the river, which was the key to the north of Luoyang in the past dynasties, and was the place where the soldiers must fight.

Xiaopingjin Pass is in the northwest of the old city of Mengjin, the center of the Yellow River, and it is also a Jindu on the Yellow River, and its status is second only to Mengjin Pass, so it is called Xiaopingjin.

In addition, there is Tongguan in the west of Luoyang (no pass has been built at this time), there is Hugao Pass in the east, and Tianjing Pass and Yiguan in the north.

These passes are also the gateways of Luoyang, and defensive guards are set up, making Luoyang a military important place that can be attacked and defended.
