Wang Jincai's jaw almost fell to the ground with joy, and he immediately said to the herald:

"Hurry back and ask Mr. Ma Qian, who came up with this plan? I don't think that Ma Sanbashi will have such a good strategy if he wants to break his head. If you can take and hold Hancheng, Lao Tzu will immediately give him the first credit! Also, immediately 800 miles to rush the victory of Zhuyang Pass and the victory of Shanxi. ”

The heralds answered the promise and immediately ran out. Wang Jincai said happily: "This horse three sticks and mallets are so big shit luck, I went to Shanxi and became a rich man, Lao Tzu has just more than 30,000 people in his hands now, and he now has more soldiers than Lao Tzu, which is really a creation." ”

After hearing this, the adjutant general beside him echoed: "I really should congratulate the commander, now that we have taken Zhuyang Pass, if we go west and secretly take the mountain road, we will be able to sneak attack Tongguan dozens of miles away in a few days, and we can take Tongguan before General Li Jin."

With the strength of the commander today, our army can also turn back to the south and take Nanyang, which has a weak defense. It can also go east and drive directly to the city of Henan Mansion (Luoyang), so that if the battle in the northwest wants to win the first merit, who else can grab the big handsome? ”

Wang Jincai laughed and said: "Haha, Wang really wants Luoyang, this Hangu Pass has long lost the role of the barrier west of Luoyang because of the diversion of the Yellow River, and the old road of the Yellow River in the north of Hangu Pass is now a smooth road." What purple air comes from the east? It's been a thousand years since Taishang Laojun sent a letter to Guguan in the west, it's been a long time, and now it's time for us to return home! ”

The adjutant general said: "The marshal is right, the danger of the food letter back then was in the mountains. Nowadays, this mountain has become a tidal flat, a ravine, and a peach forest has become a barren hill. ”

Wang Jincai also sighed and said: "This is the hometown where I fought with King Chuang and Wang Shi, the rebel army fought in this area that year, and it is embarrassing to revisit today, and then I think of Qin Zhao's fly pond meeting is here, Wang really has the intention of incarnating Lin Xiangru to return to Zhao." ”

Wang Jincai was originally a tried and failed showman, his family couldn't survive, and later took refuge in King Chuang, which was just a small chess card, and then King Chuang died, and the battalion officer he was in also died in battle, and his battalion rebels were leaderless, and he wanted to find a leader in the team.

At this time, I found that he was literate, tall, and his beard was quite long, which meant that he was a bit of a ritual, and the rebels were all a group of rough men, and Wang Jincai's appearance was quite bluffing, so they all elected him as the leader.

It's just that although Wang Jincai led the troops, he neither knew how to ride a horse nor shoot arrows, he had a lot of shortcomings, he was quite fat, he had read books, if it was this appearance, it was not bad to be an official, but God had some mistakes in his understanding, making him a military general who could not ride a horse to fight and was not very good at leading troops.

But such a general who can't ride a horse and pull a bow once had 300,000 troops under He Tengjiao, but he was defeated by Kong Youde, and the 300,000 men and horses under his command became 3,000.

People say that if you don't die, there will be a blessing, and now Kong Youde has hung up, Wang Jincai is still alive, and he saw that there were fighters everywhere, but he chatted with the deputy general about the meeting of Michi, no matter whether Wang Jincai has a focus or not, of course, his deputy general has to be Confucius's crotch waist knife, and he can be literate and martial, otherwise how can the two talk about it?

The adjutant general said to him: "If the marshal attacks Tongguan, will it not stop and return to Zhao!" The entire Guanzhong can return to my Daming. When today's son is so sage, the saint can take the capture of Tongguan as the first focus of the northwest battle, and he has insight into the interests and disadvantages of Tong's overall situation.

Far away, Ge Shuhan went out of Tongguan and Tang declined, and recently Sun Chuanting went out of Tongguan and the Ming Kingdom was broken. Tang Dynasty Ge Shuhan was falsely accused by Yang Guozhong, forced out of Tongguan, not far from here with An Lushan in a battle of Taoyuan was defeated by the rebels, Tongguan was lost, causing Xuanzong to flee, the Tang Dynasty has since disappeared.

And Sun Chuanting was forced to go out of Tongguan twice due to the forced orders of the imperial court, and hurriedly responded to the battle, and was defeated by King Chuang both times. In the end, he lost Tongguan and Xi'an, and King Chuang went straight to Beijing from then on, forcing the first emperor to commit suicide in Coal Mountain.

Therefore, after Sun Chuanting died in the battle of Tongguan, the death of the Ming Dynasty could no longer be recovered. If it weren't for the efforts of the Holy God to turn the tide today, I really don't know where our heads would be hung by the Tartars now. ”

Wang Jincai was reminded by the deputy general, of course, he immediately understood the importance of Tongguan to the northwest and even the entire battle situation, so he said: "Hey, learn from the pain, even if Wang's blood is sprinkled in Tongguan, you have to turn the world back!" The herald immediately ordered 20,000 horses to send troops to Tongguan! ”

At the end of March of the fourth year of Yongli, the people who crossed the river from Xiangyang to the north took Liu Tichun, the old general of the Dashun Army, as the vanguard, and came to the first pass of this battle, Wuguan.

Liu Tichun led 10,000 recruits to arrive at the east gate of Wuguan, this person was a fierce general under Li Chuang, he was honest, dared to fight and dare to rush, and was deeply loved by Li Chuang, he was also one of the eighteen horsemen of Shangluo, which can be described as the old team of the Dashun army.

After he arrived, according to the instructions of Li Jin, the army on the back road, he did not attack Wuguan immediately, but first set up camp and stationed down.

The terrain of Wuguan Guanxi is relatively flat, and to go out of the east of Guan, it is necessary to stretch the mountainside and wind, all the way to the cliff is high and the valley is deep, narrow and difficult to walk, so as the south gate of Guanzhong, Wuguan has always been a place for soldiers to fight.

During the Warring States Period, it was the main battlefield between Qin and Chu, and Liu Bangneng, the ancestor of the early Han Dynasty, was able to enter the pass first, and also bypassed the Hangu Pass according to Zhang Liang's plan, and entered the pass through the Wuguan, and first captured Xianyang, leaving the Chu overlord with an elite army and brave and invincible behind the ass to eat ashes.

Tang, Wu Rong has a poem by Wuguan, "When it comes and goes, if it is circulating, the two closed flat clouds lock the mountain." only taught Qin to set up risks, and did not know that the sky and the Han were related. Don't be greedy for life, don't make a thousand-year plan, and it will become a dream when you arrive. Fighting for it is like a rock going into the water, and it is from his rise and fall to his own humbling. ”

Wuguan is one of the four passes in Guanzhong, but Meng Qiaofang, the governor of the three sides, does not defend it tightly. There is no other reason, most of the Qing army in Shaanxi was dispatched to various places to quell the rebellion, and the Qing army guarding the pass was only 2,000 Han troops below Ma Ning, and in the face of the attack of 10,000 Ming troops, Ma Ning naturally did not dare to slack off with his outnumbered enemies.

Although the number of Liu Tichun's troops is more than that of the defenders, they are all regimental training, with little training, and no actual combat experience, so it should be more useful to use them to scare people, if they are used on the battlefield, they are a group of rabble.

Li Jin, nicknamed a tiger, is Li Chuang's adopted son and nephew, Liu Tichun, known as Liu Erhu, has always been very convinced of Li Jin, although Liu Erhu is brave, but Li Jin told him that the battle of Wuguan must be fought like this, and he also obeyed his words and did not attack rashly.
