Chapter 154: First Arrival at the Sword Gate

Jianmen Pass, the key to the north and south, is the barrier of the north of Shu, the throat of the two rivers, and is located in the middle of the Jianshan of Shu Road. The mountain range here stretches for more than 100 miles, and the seventy-two peaks stretch and rise, shaped like a sharp sword, and it is a place where soldiers must fight from ancient times to the present. The width of Jianmen Pass is about 5 zhang, the length is more than 50 zhang, and the cliffs on both sides of the bank are interrupted by the cliffs of Jianshan Mountain, and they are named after them.

Legend has it that there was no door in Jianshan, during the Warring States period, King Qin Hui wanted to swallow Shu, suffering from no way into Shu, so he lied that he gave the golden bull and beauty to the king of Shu, the king of Shu believed it to be true, and sent the five Ding Lux around him, split the mountain to open the way, and entered Qin to welcome the golden bull and beauties, so it is also called the golden bull road.

The terrain of Jianmen Pass is dangerous, and Li Bai once sighed that "the Sword Pavilion is magnificent and Cui Wei, one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open". From ancient times to the present, Jianmen Pass has experienced more than 100 large and small wars, and there will be a fierce battle every 20 years on average, but Jianmen Pass has never been broken through head-on.

Therefore, Zhao Guangyi listened to Ling Kun's suggestion and sent Shi Junfeng to lead 50,000 forbidden troops to strengthen the guard of Jianmen Pass, resulting in 300,000 rebels firmly blocking Sichuan, saving Ling Kun from worries about resisting Liao, and blocking the sword inserted from behind for Zhao Guangyi's father and son.

At the moment when the battle at Yanmen Pass was urgent, Jianmen Pass had also been fighting. The rebels tried all kinds of ways to get out of Sichuan as soon as possible, but in the end they were crushed one by one by the experienced veteran Shi Junfeng. In the end, the rebel general actually went to the danger in person and infiltrated the Song camp to assassinate Shi Junfeng. Since then, Deputy Marshal Wang Yingjue has become the main general of Jianmen Pass.

There is no doubt that Wang Yingjue is also a rare young talent in terms of martial arts or strategy, and under his command, Jianmen Pass is still impregnable. Later, Hongjialu brought another 150,000 reinforcements, which was even more worry-free.

At this moment, he is enjoying the majesty of being the main general, and the sword door cannot be broken, and this great achievement is his Wang Yingjue.

However, at this moment, Qin sent to preside over the counterinsurgency in Sichuan.

And Qin Cha is none other than his sworn enemy Ling Kun, isn't this clearly a credit grab?

What's even more annoying is that if you come, come on, don't go up the mountain yet, let him take a sedan chair to greet him, isn't this embarrassing for him? In order to let everyone know that from now on, he Ling Kun is the boss of the sword gate, and Wang Yingjue is no longer the main master.

His heart is condemnable, and it is really hateful.

Wang Yingjue hated it so much that the roots of her teeth itched, but she couldn't help but greet it, because

Because it was the minister of the Imperial Mission, representing the emperor.

Hongjialu and other generals in front of the palace heard that the palace marshal was coming, and they were very happy, and followed Wang Yingjue down the mountain to meet him.

At the mountain pass, Zhao Mingyue, Han Jiangxue, and Shi Jian had already gotten out of the car, and Ling Kun was injured and still lying in the car.

Wang Yingjue saw at a glance the beautiful woman he was thinking about day and night, Zhao Mingyue, the princess of the Great Song Yanguo, who had been with Ling Kun all the time.

And with her dignity as a princess, she actually stood up for Ling Kun, but Ling Kun sat in the car and couldn't get down, it was simply a disobedience and deserved death.

No matter how angry he was in his heart, he was not Ling Kun, and he couldn't make a mistake to Zhao Mingyue, so he knelt down early and bowed early: "The minister Wang Yingjue sees the princess, a thousand years old and a thousand years old." ”

"General Wang, let's get even, did you bring the sedan chair, the palace marshal was injured on the road and was unable to move."

"Brought it, brought it." Wang Yingjue got up and commanded the sedan chair driver to approach, and Hongjialu and other generals in front of the palace had already greeted him, opened the door curtain of the carriage to greet Ling Kun, and helped him onto the sedan chair.

When Wang Yingjue knelt on the ground to pay respects, no one showed anything abnormal, but Duan Jinyan was shocked half to death. Originally, Ling Kun was a minister of the Qin Dynasty, which was enough to surprise him, but fortunately, he was the prince of a country, and he was not afraid of him as a minister, but he never expected that the girl Zhao he liked turned out to be the princess of the Great Song Dynasty, which completely shattered his extremely proud heart.

If this is the family in the world that he is not worthy of, then it can only be the Zhao family.

Thinking of Zhao Mingyue's identity, and then thinking about the ambiguous words and deeds of Zhao Mingyue and Ling Kun along the way, Duan Jinyan was completely discouraged, and stood on the ground in a daze, watching everyone move forward.

"Your Highness, why don't you leave?" Gao Zhongming asked.

"I seem to have said that we will leave after sending Miss Zhao safely." Duan Jinyan muttered.

"Your Highness is really?" Gao Zhongming and Li Cangshan asked questions at the same time in an incredible way, this is not the consistent practice of the little ancestor.

"Really, let's go." Duan Jinyan lowered his head in a gloomy manner, feeling broken in his heart.

"Don't you need to say hello to Miss Zhao?" Li Cangshan asked.

Duan Jinyan shook his head and said, "Forget it, she doesn't care about me at all, and she won't find out even if she leaves." ”

Seeing Song Jun crowding Ling Kun's sedan chair and entering the gate, Duan Jinyan's master and servant turned their horses' heads and said goodbye.

The generals returned to the hall and helped Ling Kun to the main seat, while the rest of the people were divided into two sides, kneeling on the ground to listen to the holy decree.

Because of Ling Kun's weak health, Zhao Mingyue read out the holy decree on his behalf: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict, the rebels have sprung up, causing chaos in Sichuan, endangering the Central Plains, the Khitan party, eyeing the tiger, the imperial army will unite as one, resist the enemy to quell the rebellion, dedicate himself to the Jiangshan Sheji, and seek the welfare of the people of Li." Today, the general of the special order Zhu Guo and the former division of the palace have commanded Ling Kun to be the minister of the Qincha, the envoy of Sichuan Xuanfu, and the commander-in-chief of all military and political affairs in Sichuan. Chin this. ”

The generals knelt on the ground to thank him, and the military power that was closed at the sword gate was handed over. Wang Yingjue, whose butt was not yet hot, had to leave the chair and stand at the bottom.

"Everyone, this marshal has just arrived at Jianmen Pass, and he is not very familiar with the war here, so let's introduce it to General Wang." Ling Kun's knife wound was painful, so he had to lean back in his chair and speak.

Wang Yingjue saw him lazy and loud, and his heart couldn't help but be on fire, he didn't stand or sit, what kind of general is he, but he is just a bastard who climbed up by eating soft rice from women, and he actually came to grab credit from Lao Tzu. He was not angry in his heart, and his speech was cold: "Dianshuai, the terrain of Jianmen Pass is dangerous, and a husband is not open, this general has been guarding here for more than half a year, and the rebels have never broken through half a step, and He Lao Dianshuai personally went out." ”

All the generals could hear it clearly and fully understand what Wang Yingjue meant, Ling Kun naturally understood it, he smiled and said: "General Wang, as the guard of the Sword Gate, you have done a very good job, I will truthfully join Your Majesty to ask for credit for you." But Ben Shuai is not only a guard of Jianmen Pass, but also an envoy of Sichuan Xuanfu, if he wants to enter Sichuan to quell the rebellion, does General Wang have a good strategy? ”

"This ...... Not yet. Wang Yingjue lowered his head, all along, he has always taken guarding the Sword Gate Pass as the ultimate task, it is not easy to enter Sichuan to quell the rebellion, the rebels are brave and good at fighting, and they occupy the right time and place, once they enter Sichuan, they are equivalent to falling into a quagmire.

"Okay, since the current Jianmen Pass is stable, let's wait for Ben Shuai's injury to heal in a few days, the defense of the Jianmen Pass is still presided over by Wang Yingjue, and there is no major event that needs to be reported to me."

Wang Yingjue was surprised and delighted when he heard this, this kid didn't take back all the military power, and let himself be in charge of the Sword Gate, if so, this credit will be his own sooner or later.
