To the west of Dai County, Murong Qian's soldiers and horses had already rushed outside Lao County. After he sent people to surrender and promised to be a high-ranking official, the county order of Lao County finally agreed to surrender, and Murong Qian went to receive the county seat on this trip. "Now that we have won Lao County, it is quite smooth! If this continues, there should be no big problem with this action. It won't be long before we can meet with the leading general in Yanmen Pass! On the way to the county seat, Murong Qian was in a good mood and said to the staff beside him.

"Fortunately, the general traveled very quickly and without delay. If you take Yanmen and other places this time, I am afraid that the general will be promoted again! The subordinates are here to congratulate the general first! The staff flattered him.

"Well said, well said! If this general is promoted, you will naturally be indispensable! Hearing this, Murong Qian was even happier.

"Report! General Qiyu, the soldiers and horses of the Huashan Army have occupied Yanmen Pass and Loufu Pass, and several counties in Yanmen Pass have been occupied by the Huashan Army! Just as he was happy, a fast horse galloped in and delivered the latest military information.

"What? Why did the Huashan Army come so quickly? How many centaurs do they have? Are you going to kill the counties? Hearing this, Murong Qian's face suddenly turned ugly, and he asked repeatedly.

"I don't know for the time being, but after the other party occupied two passes, there was no trace of the army for the time being, and I didn't see them marching to the counties!" The spy replied.

"By the way, what's the progress on the leading general's side? But has he already taken Huren County and entered Yanmen Pass? After thinking for a while, Murong Qian hurriedly asked.

"I got the news before, the army led by the leading general was blocked by the Huashan Army outside the bottle-shaped village, and there has been no news since then, so I think there should be no breakthrough!"

Hearing this news, Murong couldn't help but sink in his heart. If Mu Yugen had a breakthrough and entered the Yanmen Pass first, then it would not be anything if these two passes were occupied by the Huashan Army.

The problem is that he hasn't entered the gate now, and it's very likely that he won't be able to do it in the future. It became a nuisance, and it affected him.

"General, this is not good! Now that the two levels are occupied by the enemy, it is very likely that our road to the south has been sealed! And the other party has never entered the army, so I think it should be the reason for the lack of troops. Why didn't the general take advantage of this opportunity to speed up the march of troops, bypass the counties, and recapture Yanmen Pass first? If you take Yanmen Pass, it doesn't hurt to go back and take the other three counties! Hearing this, the staff on the side hurriedly suggested.

"Yes, if we can't recapture the land of the two levels, although we can't say that we have no gains from sending troops this time, at least it is too far from what we thought before. Well, I'll send someone to Lao County first, and then notify the other way to rush to Yanmen Pass to meet me immediately, and at least one of the two levels must be won! Murong Qian listened and nodded again and again.

"That's exactly how it should be!" That's what the staff thought.

"Besides, immediately send someone to inform the leading general, Lord Situ, and Your Majesty! After they learn the news, they should make arrangements! Let's take the first step and go to win the level! Pass my command, and the armies will speed forward! After walking a few steps, Murong Qian thought of another thing, and hurriedly explained to the people around him.

Soon, the march of the great army became faster. Soon they crossed the county seat of Laoxian County and rushed all the way to the west. At the same time, several messengers also set off at once, rushing to several places to inform the others.

Murong Qian's two-way army was not close to Yanmen Pass, and it would not be possible to catch up in a day. At this time, the soldiers of the Huashan Army, who rushed to Yanmen Pass and Loufu Pass first, had already begun to arrange defenses.

In the afternoon of the next day, Murong Qian and others, who came in a hurry, arrived outside Yanmen Pass, only to see the military flag waving on the gate, and there were swords and guns. A group of soldiers of the Huashan Army guarded the city very tightly, and they couldn't find the slightest flaw at all.

"General, the Huashan army has already been prepared, and our army has just arrived, and it is the time of exhaustion. The subordinates felt that it was better not to rush to attack first and see the situation. At the same time, send someone to investigate the situation of Lou Fuguan to see, if it is easier to break through there, it is better to enter the army from that side. After all, this Yanmen Pass is a danger in the world, and it is not easy for us to capture it! After looking at it for a while, his staff suggested.

"Well, pass the order down, set up camp for the time being, and wait for news from other places by the way!" Murong Qian thought about it, but nodded in agreement.

As a result, the two sides faced off only a few miles away. Above the city, Li Xin stood above and stared at the enemy camp for a while.

"General, the enemy is holding his troops for the time being, so it should be considered a good thing! Regardless of whether the other party tackles the problem or not, we have already taken advantage of it! Tu Qi said on the side.

"Yes! For the time being, there is nothing the other party can do! As long as we guard this side well and don't mess up, basically there is no problem! Next, let's arrange the next actions! Li Xin nodded, quite agreeing with his idea.

Now the matter can only be said to be temporarily over, although in fact it is not the case, but from the overall situation, it can be regarded as the case.

After all, on this side, the next main action of the Huashan Army is to digest the newly taken land and defend it, and there will not be much offensive action.

Li Xin can be regarded as freeing his hands, and the next thing to do is to deal with the battle in other directions.

"What's going on over there with Deng Qiang?" After reading it, Li Xin came down from Guancheng and asked Tu Qi beside him.

"General Deng Shen acted very quickly, because he heard that Murong Ping led the army north to Tumen Pass, so after he and General Zhang Shen rushed to Yuci County that night, they did not stay, and went directly on the road overnight. In this way, he had already appeared outside Shouyang County the next morning! After taking Shouyang County, he didn't stop at all, so he rushed directly to Shangai County. He arrived at Jiuguan one day earlier than Murong Ping's army, and then the two divided their troops, and General Zhang went to Jiuguan! In addition, General Liao also acted immediately after receiving the order, and the entire county of Leping has been taken! ”

"Well, Deng Qiang is brave and resourceful, and can take on great responsibilities. How is the battle going over there now? Hearing this, Li Xin nodded, and then asked.

"Murong Ping's army attacked many times, but they were all beaten back. The general should know that the road is tortuous and the car is not square, and it is difficult to exert even if there are more troops. If you want to conquer these two places, unless you outwit them, or you will continue to consume human lives to fill them! But this time he ran into our Huashan Army, and if he competed in willpower, it was probably impossible. As long as we guard it, the other party will not want to take another step! Tu Qi replied.

"That's a good thing! In that case, let's make a move! You immediately send someone to go with my general order, and order Liao Chuan to rush to the old pass to be responsible for resisting Murong Ping's matter, and Zhang Hao is restrained by him! Now that the counties of Taiyuan are in their hands, then Wuxiang and other places do not have to maintain too much military strength. Draw part of the troops from Wuxiang County and Nie County, gather enough 1,000 men, and hand them over to Deng Qiang! He was ordered to immediately lead the army to the west, passing through Pingzhou County, Yuli County, and Lin County, and after crossing the river to the west, he detoured behind the Xiongnu north of Luguan. Then he joined forces with Shao Zisong to annihilate the 5,000 Hun soldiers and horses outside the city! After a deep groan, Li Xin commanded.

A rough plan was drawn up before the war, and after a few months, the plan was relatively perfect. Although it cannot be said to be perfect, all the actions basically have a general direction.

First solve the matter of merging the state, and then solve the other places. It's just that this time the war went more smoothly than expected, and I am afraid that everyone did not expect it. However, the opportunity is not to respond! As long as the general direction is still there, and the small direction can be changed, there will be basically no problems.

The only disadvantage is that there are too many troops involved here. Otherwise, according to the plan in advance, defeat Zhang Ping outside Yong'an County, and at most take Taiyuan County. Then, a team of soldiers and horses was sent to cross the Yellow River from Xihe County to reinforce Shao Zisong.

Now it seems that there can't be too many people. Fortunately, what Deng Qiang and the others had to do was to attack behind enemy lines, and the soldiers and horses were not much more expensive.

"Yes, my subordinates immediately arranged for someone to go and give orders!" Tu Qi hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

Xihe County is west of Luliang Mountain, which was originally a large county, and when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was just established, there were thirty-six counties here. But later, there were fewer and fewer counties, and there were only fourteen counties left in the Eastern Han Dynasty and Wei Dynasty!

When it came to the Western Jin Dynasty, only three counties were simply left, and then Jiexiu County, which originally belonged to Taiyuan County, was added to form a Xihe country.

The reason why it is called Xihe County is because when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, most of this county was on the west bank of the Yellow River. Therefore, from the territory of this county, you can go directly around to the north of Luguan. That place is where the grassland and the plateau meet.

The Xiongnu had an army of 5,000 to attack Luguan, but because the other side was mainly cavalry, and they were not good at attacking cities! Therefore, for so long, it has not been able to take Luguan, but it has lost a lot of manpower.

In that year, during the Qin Dynasty, a straight road was built from Yunyang Palace in the south, that is, the piece of Haoqi County north of Xianyang, and directly to the Yellow River in Jiuyuan County.

This straight road not only passed through Shimen Pass, Fuyuan Pass and other places, but also passed through the territory of Xihe County, just passing through Luguan! If Deng Qiang and the others pass here, they can go south along the straight path, and the speed will be much faster.

As long as the reinforcements arrive along the way, the Luguan side can switch from defense to attack. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Eastern Jin Dynasty Tang Wang's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
