Xiao Pu was killed, and Ruzhou was lost, but the soldiers who surrendered sent a letter, which was Xiao Pu's last letter, and the letter was written by Zhao Gou. Zhao Gou hurriedly opened it and looked at it carefully, only to know why things were so smooth.

In fact, when the envoy came, Xiao Puda had already guessed that this was Song Jun's strategy, and he didn't say anything, and happily accepted it. It's just that he was worried about the generals who followed him to fight in the north and south, so he secretly passed down the order to surrender directly if he really couldn't stand it.

Xiao Pu has been fighting in the south and the north for more than ten years, and there are many contradictions in his heart, especially when he is suppressed again and again, which makes him very entangled and depressed. Now that the matter has been decided, then let it be, there is no need to force it, and I don't want to fight for anything, so I resolutely choose to die.

Zhao Gou ordered people to bury Xiao Puda again, and then rested for some time, so he decided to send troops to attack the three passes, namely Juyong Pass, Reverse Horse Pass, and Bauhinia Pass.

Juyong Pass, is one of the "nine stops in the world", the eighth of the "Taihang Eight Mountains", the canyon where the Guancheng is located, belongs to the mountainous area of the Taihang Yumai Army, the west mountain is sandwiched, there is a huge stream below, the cliff is precipitous, and the terrain is extremely dangerous.

Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for soldiers! As for the other two passes, it is relatively simple, and the geographical location of Juyong Pass is extremely special, and this pass is also very sad, and it is Youzhou to the east of Juyong Pass. If you want to attack Youzhou, you must pass the three levels, otherwise you can't continue to move forward.

"Juyong Pass is the most difficult of the three levels to break, it can be attacked from afar, and it can be defended from near. If the three levels are broken, then the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun will be bound to win. ”

Zhao Gou said in a deep voice: "If the three levels are difficult to break, then the battle behind will be even more difficult." Even if the Jin people are treacherous and break their promises, there is no need to worry, Juyong Pass is the real line of defense. ”

"Since ancient times, there have been countless generals who have fought in Juyong Pass, and there are not a few generals who have died in battle. Brothers, tomorrow we will raise our troops and horses and attack Juyong Pass. ”

"If Juyong Pass is forced, you don't have to stay, just go south and take the other two passes. However, you must remember that victory or defeat in a war is important, and your lives must also be taken seriously, and you must not fight forcibly. Because after these three levels, the battle behind is getting more and more difficult, so everyone should be careful. ”

Wu Yong frowned and said, "Dashuai, the brothers have no experience in attacking in such a situation, if they really attack in a hurry, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky." ”

Due to the special location of Juyong Pass, there are cliffs all around, even if there are trees and other shades, it is still difficult to hide the figure of everyone. In addition, if you want to attack, you must occupy Juyong Pass, just because Juyong Pass has the Great Wall, which was used to resist the attacks of northern nomads such as the Xiongnu and Xianbei during the Qin and Han dynasties.

It is conceivable that the defensive strength of Juyongguan is bound to be not weak. As for the attack force, it should not be underestimated. If you attack rashly, you are simply looking for your own death.

Liu Guangshi answered: "Marshal, what the military advisor said is very true! His subordinates had heard his father say that it would be difficult to break through Juyong Pass, and if he attacked rashly, he would suffer heavy casualties. ”

Zhao Gou was puzzled: "Your father has been here before?" ”

Liu Guangshi nodded and said, "My father once went to Juyong Pass, but this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but they can easily defeat us. At the beginning, my father measured it and said that he couldn't break it, so it can be seen that it is difficult to play three levels. ”

Zhao Gou smiled slightly: "I've been thinking about this question for a long time!" That's why I've brought you all here! ”

"What's the best plan for the marshal?" Wu Yong hurriedly asked, he is a military advisor, but there is no way to do it at this moment. After all, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures are really unfamiliar, and if they make a mistake in decision-making, they will suffer heavy losses, and they really can't afford to take this responsibility.

Next, Zhao Gou drew the topography of Juyong Pass in detail, and deduced it several times on the sand table, he knew that there was a Great Wall in Juyong Pass, and the Great Wall wall was wide and heavy, and it was not possible to attack strongly, only to raid, and this method must be taken risky.

Zhao Gou needs a group of experts who can climb the cliffs, let them set off at the moment, go around to the back of Juyong Pass, and then put the rope to lock it down, so that the soldiers behind can follow, and the main army will raid into Juyong Pass from the front, and confront the Liao soldiers.

Everyone also thought it was good, and then Zhao Gou deployed a plan to attack the other two levels. Juyong Pass is attacked, the other two passes cannot sit idly by, and must send troops to reinforce, then Juyong Pass is breached, and when the time comes, the army will go south to take the two passes.

Zhao Gou ordered everyone to go down and order the soldiers and horses, but after counting, only about 100 people had this ability, which was cultivated before, and the others were also looking for death in this battle.

In the end, Zhao Gou decided to go out in person this time, and he led more than a hundred people to climb the peak, starting from the cliffs, but he needed a sharp blade. Because the cliffs are not fun, if you are not careful, you will fall into the mountain stream, and there will be no bones left.

Gao Zhong and Zhao Yougong followed left and right, and they took a thousand people to set off first. The main force will set off tomorrow, and it cannot be achieved overnight because it takes time to climb the cliffs.

Zhao Gou and the others quietly came to the cliff on the side of Juyong Pass, and they were really startled when they saw the straight cliff. Beneath the cliffs is a rushing mountain stream. The mountains and streams in this place look chilling, and the cyan stones in the water are particularly eye-catching.

"Ninth brother, you really have to climb!" Zhao Yougong looked at the steep cliff, panicked, swallowed his saliva involuntarily, and grunted.

Zhao Gou didn't expect it to be so steep, as if it was flat ground. However, if you don't climb up, then the war will be together, and the consequences will be unpredictable.

Zhao Gou nodded firmly, and replied affirmatively: "You must climb!" Second brother, you all follow me, I'll go up first! ”

Zhao Yougong was startled, and hurriedly said, "Don't, I'll go up!" If you have anything long and short, the one who goes back won't peel me and cramp! ”

Zhao Gou grabbed Zhao Yougong, shook his head and said, "Second brother, your martial arts are not as good as mine, even if there is any danger, I can withdraw in time, you just wait to come up again with them." ”

After speaking, Zhao Gou went up directly, and when he walked to the edge of the cliff, he found that there were still some places where he could stay, and this was enough. With these places to step on, it is simple for Zhao Gou to go up.

In the previous life, Zhao Gou originally lived in the countryside, and rock climbing was also commonplace for him. Besides, he now has martial arts in his body, which is much simpler.

Zhao Gou climbed halfway to find that the more the above the situation is better, the following is really a little difficult, the most difficult place is the middle lot, you want to go up and find that you can't reach, you want to go down and have no choice, because there is no way. Now Zhao Gou thinks of the excavator in the future, if there is, there is no need to work so hard.

At this time, Zhao Gou had already climbed more than half of the climb, but his movements were much slower. It's not that he is physically exhausted, but because there are patrols above, which makes his movements a lot slower, but Zhao Yougong and the others below are anxious, and they see that Zhao Gou's speed is much slower, and they think that it is because of physical exhaustion, and they are a little worried.

Even if they wanted to shout, it didn't work, the sound of the mountain stream was too loud to do anything.

Zhao Gou looked around again, and finally found that there were many exposed stones on the cliff, and with the help of these stones, Zhao Gou ran up step by step.

When he finally reached the top of the mountain, he was sweating profusely. Zhao Gou observed again and saw that there was a place to hide. Then, Zhao Gou put down the ropes one by one, and he went down again.

Zhao Gou briefly explained the above situation, and then asked Zhao Yougong, Gao Chong, and a hundred or so people to go up first. As for himself, he stayed here, constantly telling everyone the key points of rock climbing, as well as the ways and means.

After four or five hours of hard work, everyone went up. However, in the process of rock climbing, some people fell down and were directly washed away by the mountain stream and disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Gou looked at the stars in the sky and estimated that there was still a little time before dawn. Then he ordered them to rest for a while, and when the hour was near, they could attack.

The Liao army never knew that a Song army would come up from the cliff, so they let it go. At this time, the main force of the Song army was also dispatched to directly attack Juyong Pass.

The Liao army was attracted by the main force of the Song army, and their rear was all exposed. When Zhao Gou heard the sound of fighting, he immediately ordered everyone to start a surprise attack.

Sure enough, one of Zhao's wrestling armies became the key to victory. When the Liao army saw that there were also enemy troops in the rear, the whole person was dumbfounded, and when they came to their senses, Zhao Gou had already led people to attack.

After the combination of the inside and the outside, the Liao army was difficult to resist, and finally Juyong Pass was taken away. In addition, when the two guards learned that the Song army was coming to attack, they sent reinforcements, but unfortunately to no avail, and all the troops sent out were captured by the Song army.

Then, Zhao Gou ordered to continue the attack to the south, and this time they did not take risks, but directly met the enemy head-on. Due to the small number of troops, they could only fight the Song army, but they still could not stop the pace of the Song army, and finally all died heroically.

The three passes were broken by the Song army led by Zhao Gou and became the bag of the Song army. In addition, when the three levels were broken, more than 10,000 enemies were killed and 10,000 were captured; The Song army killed 16,000 people, and the most killed were in the attack on Juyong Pass, only because Li Kui, Sun Li, Zhu Tong, and Dai Zong were killed in battle, Ruan Xiaowu, Zhang Xian, Wu Jue, and Niu Gao were seriously injured and unconscious, while others were also injured to varying degrees.

Even though he struggled to rescue him, Ruan Xiaowu still died. Although the battle was fought and the Song army won, it also paid a heavy price. After all, Sanguan is not a wasted name.

Now, Sanguan has been taken by the Song army, and the other guards are also panicked, they are worried, such a Song army, who else can resist, even if the strength is equal, if it is not for the natural fortress cover, there is no way to stop their pace, this is really worried, everyone showed a sense of fear and frustration on their faces.
