Chapter 292: The Liao Army Approaching (2)

Tongguan is located at the crossing of the Yellow River, located in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan provinces, and the post road from Chang'an to Luoyang is the key to enter and exit the three Qins; Since the end of the Han Dynasty, it has become a necessary place and official pass for the Central Plains in the east and the Guanzhong and Western Regions in the west, and is known as the fortress of Jinnai, the throat of the four towns, and the reputation of the one hundred and two passes, and was known as Taolinsai in ancient times.

Tongguan south barrier Qinling, north of the Yellow River, east of Hangu, west of Gonghua Mountain, the situation is dangerous, for the east gate of Chang'an.

Wuguan is located on the north bank of the Dongwuguan River in Danfeng County, Shaanxi, and Hangu Pass, Xiao Pass, and Sanguan have become the "Four Stops of Qin".

The Wuguan valley area has become a passage between the north and south of the eastern section of the Qinling Mountains, and after crossing the Qinling Watershed in the northwest along the channel, it can go directly to Lantian and approach Chang'an; Heading southeast to reach the Nanyang Basin.

Wuguan stands by danger, since the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, it is the southern gate of Xianyang and Chang'an in Kyoto.

Wuguan has a long history, far away in the Spring and Autumn Period to be built, the name is "Shao Xi Pass", and the Warring States Period was changed to Wu".

Wuguan Guancheng is built on a relatively flat plateau between the canyons, and the north is surrounded by the high Shaoxi Mountain; It is bordered by danger in the south, and the circumference of the city is 1.5 kilometers.

The walls are made of earth and are slightly square; The east and west each open a door to build a roll hole with bricks and stones, and there are four words on the west gate of "Sanqin Fortress"; There are two words of Wuguan at the east gate, and there are four words on the forehead of the inner door.

The terrain of Kansai is relatively flat, only out of the east of the Kansai line, stretching the mountainside and winding through; The cliffs are high and the valleys are deep, narrow and difficult to walk; Therefore, Wuguan is a battleground for ancient soldiers.

When Zhuge Liang attacked Cao Wei, Wei Yan, the general of Shu, put forward a surprise attack on Chang'an, which was through the military pass, but unfortunately Zhuge Liang vetoed it and formed the defeat of the Shu army.

Sanguan is located in Dasanguan, on the southwest of Baoji City, Shaanxi Province; When the throat of the Qinling Mountains, the traffic between Sichuan and Shaanxi is a place where ancient soldiers must fight.

One of Cao Cao's "Autumn Hu Xing" of the Three Kingdoms: "Morning on Sanguan Mountain, how difficult is this road!"

The old road of Chen Cang passed through the Great Scattered Pass. The mountains of Dasanguan are steep, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other, and there is a tendency of "one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open".

Because it chokes the throat of north-south traffic, it has been the "throat of Sichuan and Shaanxi" since ancient times, and the place where soldiers must fight.

The boundary between the western end of the Qinling Mountains and Longshan is the valley area of the upper reaches of the Jialing River, which is an important passage between the western part of the Qinling Mountains. Dasanguan is at the northern end of this passage according to the danger stands, is the fortress between Guanzhong and Hanzhong, Bashu.

"The north must not be dispersed, and there is no way to plan Hanzhong Bashu; The south must not be dispersed, and there is no way to close the pass. ”

When Chu and Han fought, Han Xin "repaired the plank road in the Ming Dynasty and secretly crossed Chencang" passed through the Dasan Pass, and Cao Cao's westward expedition to Zhang Lu also passed through this place during the Three Kingdoms.

Xiaoguan, also known as Longshan Pass, is located in the southeast of Guyuan, Ningxia; The Longshan Mountains lie in the northwest of Guanzhong and are the natural barrier of its northwest.

The passage from Longshang to Guanzhong is mainly the valley lowland formed by the confluence of the Wei River and the Jing River.

The mountains in the direction of the Wei River are steep, while the direction of the Jing River is easier to enter Guanzhong.

Xiao Pass stands in the Longshan Pass according to the danger, guarding the passage from the direction of the Jing River into Guanzhong. Xiaoguan is an important pass in the northwest of Guanzhong, which protects the safety of Guanzhong and the northwest.

Soon after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Song Taizu had the idea of moving the capital to Chang'an, but Zhao Guangyi and all the ministers opposed it; Most of the founding generals of the Song Dynasty were Yan and Zhao people who didn't want to stay away from their homeland, so Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to set the capital in Bianliang.

However, the sixteen states of Yanyun did not belong to the Song Dynasty, and Bianjing, which was not blocked by fortresses, had always been under the attack of the iron hooves of the Liao State.

Song Zhenzong had long had the idea of moving the capital to Jinling, so he agreed with Wang Qinruo's proposal; But Song Zhenzong also knew that if Wang Qin was treacherous, Kou Zhun and Zheng Shuang would not dare to express his position as soon as they stopped him......

The house leaked and rained, and the boat was even more hit by the head wind!

When Zhao Heng was unable to make up his mind about whether to move the country or not, the Liao army had already arrived at Fengqiu's Tangbao and almost beat him to the ground.

Fengqiu, Fengqiu, you are the birthplace of the Zhao and Song dynasties; Will it also become the grave of the fall of the Zhao and Song dynasties?

Fengqiu is only a few dozen miles away from Bianjing in a straight line, and the Liao army can rush to Bianjing in an hour, and the dynasty that has been founded for 44 years will be overturned in the hands of Zhao Heng, who has only been the emperor for 6 years......

Zhao Heng was like an ant on a hot pot in a panic, Zheng Shuang said, "Fake, this is the strategy used by Empress Dowager Xiao!" Suddenly let Zhao Heng calm down.

Zhao Heng stood up from the dragon chair, walked up to Zheng Shuang, grabbed his hand and asked, "Zheng Qing, hurry up and repeat what you just said!" ”

Zheng Shuang dragged Zhao Heng to sit on the dragon chair and raised his arm and said, "There is no need to panic in the saint, the soldiers will come to block the water and come to Tutun; Even if Empress Dowager Xiao's army approaches Fengqiu Gate, we are not afraid! “

General Zheng Shuang's demeanor was revealed, and his conclusive words couldn't help but reassure Song Zhenzong; also reassured the ministers of civil and military affairs in the court.

Qin Shi Huang burst out laughing and said, "It seems that our hussar general is confident, so don't tell everyone about your plans!" “

Zheng Shuang fixed his mind and said: "Fengqiu belongs to Gyeonggi, north of the Yellow River, and the straight-line distance from Bianjing is only a few dozen miles; The appearance of the Liao soldiers there is just a bluff! ”

Dingding said with emotion: "Now is the Yellow River flood season, the turbid waves are rolling, and the Liao soldiers want to build a bridge between Fengqiu and Kaifeng, which can only be a fool's dream, if Xiao Ke is not wrong; Empress Dowager Xiao's main force may be in Huazhou! ”

"Huazhou!" Zhao Heng made a noise, looked at Zhang Di and said, "Zhang Gong, get the map!" “

Zhang Di brought the map, and Liu Chengqi and Zhou Huaizheng knelt on the ground and ripped the map apart; After finding Huazhou, Emperor Zhenzong tapped on it with his fingers and said, "How far is Huazhou from Bianjing?" “

"About 250 miles!" Zheng Shuang said confidently: "The fast horse runs 80 miles in an hour, if there is nothing to obstruct; The Liao army will arrive at Bianliang in 3 hours, but if there is a blockade from our army and civilians along the way, it is uncertain when they will be able to arrive; Therefore, it can be estimated that it will take at least two or three days for the Liao army to eliminate obstacles and rush to Bianjing, and we have every chance to deploy defenses! “

As soon as Zheng Shuang's voice fell, he listened to the royal dragon bone Duozi's direct report: "General Zheng, there are 5 people outside the hall who call themselves Wei and ask to see you!" “

Zheng Shuang was stunned, looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the scout sent out by Xiao Ke is back!" Let them come up to the temple! “

"Quasi-play!" Song Zhenzong shouted, and saw Wei Qi, Yu'er, Shui'er, Ying'er, and Xing'er 5 people walking in.

Wei Ru and Yu'er, Shui'er, Ying'er, and Xing'er 5 people entered the palace and stood up after giving the emperor a salute, Wei Ru said impassionedly: "Your Majesty, Marshal Zheng, Kou Xiangye, the small 8 people found the main force of the Liao army in Huazhou; As soon as the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army saw the Liao army running and hiding, Brother Wei Sheng, Wei Chun, and Wei Feng organized the nearby people to resist, and intercepted the Liao army in a ravine and couldn't get out! “

"Good! That's great! Zheng Shuang pat and said: "The people of the Great Song Dynasty are loyal to the country one by one, but look at those forbidden troops and officials, ......"

Zheng Shuang didn't finish his words, and said to Song Zhenzong: "Your Majesty, if you adopt Weichen's opinion, Bianliang City will be safe and sound; If you still trust the words of the traitorous ministers, then go to be the prisoner of the Empress Dowager Xiao! ”

Song Zhenzong bowed and said: "Where does Zheng Qing say, you are the light of the Great Song Dynasty; I will definitely adopt your opinion, and please Zheng Qing speak freely! ”

Zheng Shuang calmed down and said: "Immediately let General Yang Yanzhao take over the Privy Council to master the military talisman and mobilize the forbidden army!" ”

"Quasi-play!" Emperor Zhenzong gave an order and said to Wang Jiying: "Wang Qing was aggrieved and immediately handed over the affairs of the Privy Council and the military talisman to General Yang, he is the privy envoy appointed by me; Know how to fight! ”

Yang Yanzhao stepped forward with tears in his eyes and bowed to Emperor Zhenzong, and went to the Privy Council with Wang Jiying under the leadership of Zhang Di.

Zheng Shuang looked at Wang Qinruo and said to Kou Zhun: "Kou Xiangye, originally we were going to clarify the five deadly sins for you in the court; But now there is no time! Xiao Ke means that you should be kind to Wang Qinruo, it is better! ”

Kou Zhun laughed, lowered his head and thought about it: "Your Majesty, the minister will let Wang Qinruo guard the Daimyo's mansion; The Daimyo's Mansion is an important state capital of the imperial court, and without a capable minister, I am afraid that there will be more than one bad luck! ”

Emperor Zhenzong immediately issued an edict: Let Wang Qinruo sentence the Tianxiong army.

Wang Qinruo stared at Kou Zhun and then at the emperor with eyes like dead fish, and knelt on the ground to thank the emperor.

The dignified deputy prime minister went to the Daimyo's Mansion to be a general judge and a deputy to the prefect, and Wang Qinruo was naturally unconvinced......
