The autumn wind rose, the horse's hooves were sick, Yuwenwen rode a horse galloping in the wilderness, and Chi Jing, the captain of the left palace, guarded the Son of Heaven, followed by Zhou Faming, Tian Yilong and a number of guards. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Behind them was a large-scale team, the Son of Heaven went out to patrol the full set of outfits, accompanied by palace maids and eunuchs, and escorted by more than 1,000 cavalry, and the group left Yecheng to the north and went to Xiangguo County, Zhaozhou.

Yuwen Qiankeng, who has been in the palace all the year round like a caged bird, finally left Yecheng out of the palace, and sprinkled joy like a dragon entering the sea, Wei Chijing led the guards to escort him, and Yuwen Wen traveled as a clan accompaniment.

In the first year of the elephant (four years ago), the Tianyuan Emperor Yuwenyun, who had just ascended the throne, wanted to make great plans, first of all, to cut off the threat of the clan, and ordered the kingdom of his five uncles to prevent one of them from becoming the third Yuwen Hu, the king of Jin.

may become the second king of Qi in Yuwen Hu, the imperial uncle Yu Wenxian, who is both civil and military, has been beheaded by Yuwen Yun, so the other five capable imperial uncles are silent and obedient, so as not to let the emperor's nephew kill again.

The edict is based on the two counties of Wudang and Anchang in Fengzhou, and the ten thousand households in Yi are the Yue Wang Yuwensheng feudal country; The edict was to Jingzhou Xinye County, Yi Wanhu as Teng Wang Yuwen to seal the country; The edict took the 10,000 households of Shangdang County in Luzhou as the fief of Wang Yuwenda.

The edict was to Qizhou, Jinan County, Yi Wanhu as Chen Wangyu Wenchun feudal country; The edict was to Zhaowang Yuwen to recruit ten thousand households in Xiangguo County, Zhaozhou.

Yuwen Zhao came to the country of Xiangguo County with his family and became a wealthy vassal king who had nothing to do, of course, there is no need to think about military power or anything, the world of Zhou is Yuwen Yun and his son's, and the rest of the clan is guarded as a thief.

A few years later, in February of the second year of the elephant, the Turks sent an envoy to ask for peace with the Zhou State, and the Tianyuan Emperor selected the daughter of Zhao Wang Yuwen to marry the daughter of Saiwai and Qin, who was the princess of Qianjin.

Princess Qianjin said goodbye to her parents in tears and came to Chang'an to be married, but in April, Emperor Tianyuan suddenly controlled Bintian, and Yang Jian, the auxiliary prime minister, hurriedly recruited Zhao, Chen, Yue, Dai, and Teng to return to Beijing.

The clans have empty positions and no real power, watching the auxiliary prime minister Yang Jian seize power, the Yuwen family has become a lamb to be slaughtered, the power struggle is bloody, and the kings of the clan attempt to kill the auxiliary prime minister Yang Jian, and finally all fail.

Zhao Wang Yuwen Zhao was killed on the spot, and his four sons were also killed, and only his youngest son, Yuwen Qiankeng, who remained in Xiangguo County, survived.

Xiangguo County is located in Xiangzhou, Xiangzhou belongs to the Xiangzhou Governor's Office, Xiangzhou Governor, Shu State Lieutenant Chi Hui raised troops against Yang, invited Yuwen Qiankeng from Xiangguo to Yecheng, supported him as the Son of Heaven, and set up another court to fight against Chang'an.

Today, three years later, on the eve of the Double Ninth Festival, Yuwen Qiankeng wanted to return to Xiangguo's hometown to remember his father and brother, Yuwen Wen accompanied him as a clan, and returned to Yecheng after staying in Xiangguo for a day or two, which happened to be the Double Ninth Festival.

As soon as the Double Ninth Festival passed, Yuwenwen could say goodbye to Yecheng and go back to Bazhou in tears, so he was in a good mood, stayed in Yecheng for three months, and finally wanted to be "released from prison".

It was his territory, although it was smaller, but it carried his dreams, and he had to redouble his efforts to make up for the months he had wasted.

"Xiyang Gong, Dabie Mountain on the north side of Bazhou, is there Taihang Mountain?" Yuwen Qiankeng asked, Yuwen Wen looked to the west when he heard this, and saw a north-south mountain range looming on the horizon in the distance.

"Your Majesty, the famous mountains and rivers have their own customs, and it is not easy to say if you want to compete."

"Then there are roads on both sides of the mountain in Dabie Mountain? Just like the Taihang Eight Mountains. Yuwen Qiankeng asked again.

"Yes, it's just that there are many barbarians living in the Dabie Mountains, and there are only a few official roads that can be walked."

After months of explanation, Yuwen Wen let Yuwen Qiankeng know that the Barbarians living in the Shannan River area are human beings like them, not some demons and monsters, but the living customs and language are different, which looks a little strange.

Some are slash-and-burn farming, but some can also plough the fields and weave cloth, some can drink blood, and some can also cook and steam, which is nothing more than looking at the skills of the state's thorn history and education, of course, this 'education' means is very said.

Yuwen Qiankeng is young, and he can't understand it for a while, and Yuwenwen doesn't plan to be a political enlightenment teacher, he himself is half a bucket of water, and he has to grow up slowly by constantly exploring and summarizing lessons and lessons, and teaching people indiscriminately can only be the children of misguided people.

Wei Chijing on the side saw that the Son of Heaven was sweating, and he was afraid of catching a cold when the autumn wind gradually rose, so he leaned over and asked him to go back to the car to rest.

"Lu Guogong, the official road ahead is forked, and the left road seems to be heading to the west of Taihang Mountain, could it be that there is one of the eight Taihang Mountains over there?" Yu Wenwen asked, thinking that he had nothing to say.

"Exactly, going over there is Fukou, entering Fukou, passing through Taihang Mountain and entering the boundary of Bingzhou, which is also a shortcut from Yecheng to Jinyang." Wei Chijing explained, "The other side of the mountain is now the territory of the Sui State. ”

"I heard that further north of Xiangguo County, there is another mountain that can travel to and from the east and west of Taihang Mountain, what is the name of this mountain?"

"Jingcheng, the mouth of the city is more than two hundred miles away from Xiangguo County, Zhaozhou..."

Yu Chijing was opened by Yu Wenwen and began to introduce "Taihang Bacheng".

Taihang Mountain stretches for thousands of miles from north to south, Bailing interconnects ten thousand gullies and ditches are deep, there are east-west horizontal valleys (陉) in between, the famous 陉 has the military capital from north to south, Puyin 陉, Flying Fox 陉, Jing 陉, Fukou 陉, Bai 陉, Taihang 陉, Yiguan 陉, etc., also known as Taihang Eight Mountains,

This Eight Mountains is the throat road between Shandong (east of Taihang Mountain) and Shanxi (west of Taihang Mountain), and it is a place where soldiers must fight, and now both ends of these Eight Mountains are controlled by the armies of Zhou and Sui.

The so-called control refers to the control of the important passes of each mountain, but the corresponding opponent is also stationed in the middle of the road or the pass, so now the Zhou and Sui countries are blocking each other's Taihang Eight Mountains, beware of the other side crossing the Taihang Mountain to launch a sudden attack.

If the Taihang Mountain is compared to a north-south wall, then the east side of the wall is the Zhou State, the west side is the Sui State, this wall is very tall and cannot be crossed, and the Taihang Eight Gates, which can go back and forth to the east and west sides of the wall.

Yecheng, the capital of the Zhou Kingdom, is on the side of the wall, not far from the north is the gate called "Fukou Cheng", and the south is the gate called "Baicheng", both gates are guarded by a large number of Zhou troops, and the prevention is that the Sui army suddenly attacked over the mountain.

Of course, the other six places are also heavily guarded, and the Sui army is also heavily guarded at the western end of the Eight Mountains, and the two countries are just facing each other in the Taihang Eight Mountains, you can't attack it, I can't attack it.

It is precisely because of this that the competition between the Zhou and Sui countries for the boundary of Henan is very fierce, and if the Zhou State 'recovers' the boundary of Luozhou and Yuzhou, it will be able to block the Sui State to the west of Tongguan.

If the Sui State wants to break the situation, it has to hold the two governor's offices in Luozhou and Yuzhou, and then divide troops from Guanzhong to attack Shannan, go all the way to Wuguan Road, and directly start from Chang'an to attack Jingzhou, Shannan.

He set out from Liangzhou and Jinzhou all the way, and marched eastward along the Han River to attack Xiangzhou in Shannan.

Then all the way down the river from Shudi, land and water and attack Jiangling of the Liang State, after gaining a firm foothold, outflanking Xiangzhou to the north, the premise of all this is that the Sui army controls Luozhou and Yuzhou.

In this way, if the Shannan Zhou army wants foreign aid, there are only reinforcements in the direction of the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion and the Hezhou Governor's Mansion at the southeast foot of Dabie Mountain, but this is a little far away and can't quench the thirst.

Of course, the Zhou army will not be stupid to wait, the army of Bozhou and Xuzhou Governor's Office struggled to attack Yuzhou to the west, as long as Yuzhou is penetrated, it can support Shannan Jingzhou and Xiangzhou, and then it will depend on whether the Sui army will attack Shannan Jingxiang quickly, or the Zhou army will penetrate Luo and Yukuai.

The two talked on paper, Tian Yilong next to him listened to the clouds, he had a lot of questions he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, and when he saw Zhou Faming on the side nodding frequently, he asked for advice.

His question is very simple, there are many mountain roads on Dabie Mountain, many of which are sheep intestine trails taken by hunters, although it is difficult to walk, but it can also cross the mountains to and from north to south, and the situation of wanting to come to Taihang Mountain is similar, so the march and war do not necessarily have to take what eight mountains.

"If the army is lightly armed and can cross the mountains and mountains like that kind of path with rations, then won't it be able to bypass the Eight Mountains?" (To be continued.) )
