Thousands of mountains and mountains are stacked with green, and the mountains and rivers are full of spring, reflecting a majestic and majestic pass.

Hangu Pass is named because it is locked in the valley, it is as dangerous as a letter, it is named, here was the ancient battlefield where the war horse neighed, guarding the throat of Cuihan, the terrain is dangerous, the road is narrow, known as "a husband is a pass, ten thousand people are not open", since ancient times it is a strategic fortress that the soldiers must fight, it has always been a natural barrier for the West Qin, only it attacks the six countries, but the six countries can not attack the land of the West Qin.

Hangu Pass was first built by the Qin State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is east from Kunshan, west to Tongjin, commonly known as Hangu, known as natural danger; The pass is located in a deep and dangerous valley, the terrain is dangerous, and the narrow place can only allow a carriage to pass, the so-called "car is not on the track, the horse is not on the bridle"; Moreover, due to the undulating hills and hills of this section of the Yellow River Basin, blocked by Zhongtiao Mountain and Kunshan Mountain, the bottom of the Hanguan Valley has become the only east-west flat passage in the nearby area, and it has naturally become a military stronghold.

Two days later, Li Jing commanded the three armies, crossed the narrow road of Hangu, passed through this majestic Xiongguan, went east, arrived outside Zhuyang City, and stationed down.

Nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses will stay here for a short time before dividing the troops.

Hou Junji and Lai Hu'er should take the left army and the right county, and they will be separated here, each with its own marching route, and the task of attacking the city and plundering the village along the way, and pacifying the place.

However, the ultimate goal is to sweep through the close counties outside Hangu Pass, restrain Dou Jiande in the north, Du Fuwei and Xiao Liang in the south to rescue Luoyang, and give Li Jing enough time to clean up Wang Shichong.

Although Wang Shichong was cunning and defeated Li Mi, he was not so easy to deal with in the face of Li Jing, who was a master of the art of war.

As soon as Li Jing arrived in the city, he immediately mobilized the scout battalion and sent more scouts and detailed work: "Investigate the military situation on the border between Hongnong County and Henan County, Zheng Guo's generals, troops, weapons, and baggage, be detailed and report quickly!"

"Yes!" There is a military general in charge of the scout battalion to convey it immediately.

"General Li, before you leave, do you have any other advice to the last general?" Hou Junji had great respect for Li Jing, because when he was in Hexi, he was Li Jing's deputy, and he had seen this person's art of war.

"All the crossings along the river are grasped, especially Mengjindu, etc., do not let Li Yuan's Tang army and Dou Jiande's Xia army cross the Yellow River and go south, in addition, secretly send people into the land of Hebei, continue to increase troops, don't just defend, Your Majesty guesses, when Luoyang is in danger, Dou Jiande will inevitably go south, and Your Majesty will rush over to ambush Dou Jiande when the time comes, so you should prepare as soon as possible, don't wait for Your Majesty to pass down the holy decree, you will reappear to prepare, then it is possible to delay the fighter." Li Jing advised.

Hou Junji frowned, thought carefully, felt that it made sense, and arched his hand: "The last general has been taught." ”

Li Jing speculated like this, and with a little prediction and judgment, he could guess His Majesty's mind to some extent, and he also saw through the situation of Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong and others.

Among these princes, only Dou Jiande is most concerned about Wang Shichong's situation, because after Luoyang is taken, the next target is Dou Jiande in Hebei, because the Xia Kingdom is facing the Liaodong of Zhuojun and the north-south attack of Luoyang, Henan, and the situation is not optimistic, so Dou Jiande will definitely not stand idly by in the end.

..........

Dahua sent an army of 300,000, and the news of the eastward Han Guguan spread, and the princes of the Central Plains were all shocked.

In particular, Wang Shichong, the emperor of Luoyang Zhengguo, had a gloomy face at the court meeting, scolding Luo Cheng for his wolf ambition and not giving the princes a way to live.

Crown Prince Wang Xuanying said: "Father, Your Majesty wants to guard the western gateway, and Hongnong County can be lost, but Mianchi City and Yiyang City are the checkpoints of the two routes in the west and southwest of Luoyang respectively, and they must be guarded by sending generals to block the eastward advance of the Dahua Army." ”

"Dahua is claiming to send 500,000 troops this time, how many troops can we shoot to stop it?" This question suddenly made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military stunned, without 100,000 soldiers and horses, it is not enough to compete, but if the 100,000 army is withdrawn, then Luoyang City will only have 70,000 or 80,000 troops, and it will be difficult to deal with the next crisis.

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, many people were silent, and the people who were really willing to be loyal to Wang Shichong were very limited, and many of the old nobles in Luoyang City, as well as the old ministers of the previous dynasty, were thinking in their hearts that if Dahua could break through Luoyang, it would be great, and it would be much more promising than following Wang Shichong.

The former Qigui, Duan Da and others also had this kind of idea, although they were Zheng Guo's courtiers, but they gradually lost their power and were squeezed out by the people of the Wang family, Zheng Guo could really control the range, only two or three counties, and they had no ability and hope to unify the world at all, so they stayed, although they were nominally high-ranking officials, in fact, they all knew that this vassal state really had no future.

The only thing that can unify the world, at present, is Dahua.

Duan Da, Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu, Huangfu Wuyi and other ministers all had Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, and they did not give advice to Wang Shichong, and they mostly watched coldly.

There are still some generals, so I can't wait for this day.

Cheng Zhijie was the first to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to go to Mianchi City to block the Dahua army!" ”

Luo Shixin stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is also willing to fight with General Cheng, and he will definitely be able to stop the enemy from attacking."

Pei Renji stood up at this moment and said: "The veteran is willing to lead the troops to Yiyang to block the Chinese army!" ”

At the same time, Pei Xingyan, Bing Yuanzhen, Chen Zhiluo and others all stood up and asked to fight.

Wang Shichong was very happy to see that these generals of Wagang could finally come in handy, but he was suspicious by nature, and he was not at ease, so he sent his own brothers to supervise the battle every way, and sent King Lu Wang Dao to supervise the battle in Mianchi City as the commander-in-chief; Send Wang Shiwei, the king of Chu, to Yiyang as a commander, and then send these old Wagang troops to meet the battle and be cannon fodder to resist.
