Yanmen Pass. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is a very ancient city, located at the most marginal of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the gateway to the west gate of Longxi. After crossing this level, there is an endless grassland, and then the Qiang tribe.

A checkpoint like this, so important, is a barrier between the Tang Dynasty and the Qiang people, and it should be heavily guarded. Here, however, there are not many garrisons, not before, and not now...

There are many reasons for this.

In the past, the relationship between Zhou Gandang and the Qiang people was very good, and there was trade between the two places, so the road has always been passable, and the Qiang people can come to Xiliang, and the Xiliang people can also go to the Qiang tribe and grassland.

And after Luo Yi came to Longxi, this balance was immediately broken, at the beginning, there were four major families to support, the Qiang people could still enter Xiliang, but the four major families fell, especially after the Qiang king Xiao Yuyuan died in battle, Yanmen Pass was closed by the local government, no one ever let people in, not only did not let people in, but also did not let people out. A few days ago, Pan Long transported silver taels and grain to the snowy region, still holding Luo Yi's token, and the Yanmen guards released it, otherwise, no one would be able to get through.

Today, the generals stationed at Yanmen Pass are no longer the old people they used to be, but just selected in Pingxing, appointed by Luo Tong, with a total of three people.

A county order, Zhang Hun, ten years of cold window, full of talent, and a son of a poor family, in this selection, outstanding.

A county cheng, called You Yu, You Yu also studied hard in the cold window, and went to Pingxing to get fame, but his grades were slightly worse, so he followed Zhang Hun to Yanmen Pass to garrison, and only became a county cheng.

The last person is the captain of Yanmen Pass, this official position is very important, and he is the most important rule for guarding the pass.

His name is Chu Feiyan, he was originally Luo Tong's personal soldier, and was later appointed as a centurion of his own soldiers, his martial arts are very good, Luo Tong wanted to promote him to a lieutenant several times, hoping to make a good contribution on the battlefield, but he never had the opportunity, he didn't expect to meet the appointment of generals to garrison in various places, and he immediately handed over this important place to him.

Chu Feiyan, not too old, about thirty years, with a Chinese face, and a calm work...

After arriving at Yanmen Pass, he did not dare to have the slightest standby, in order to repay Luo Tong's kindness, he proposed to Zhang Hun and You Yu to repair the city this morning and prepare for a big war, because he knew that there must be a day of great war in Yanmen Pass, which was also before leaving, Luo Tong told him, Xiao Yuyuan, the king of the Qiang people, was buried in the sea of fire, how could the Qiang people swallow such a big hatred?

In this regard, Zhang Hun and You Yu also agreed and began to prepare.

It's a pity that they have only repaired the city tower for more than ten days, and the spies sent by Chu Feiyan to the Qiang tribe have returned, and dozens of tribes are gathering young and strong, gathering at a place four hundred miles away from Yanmen Pass, and raising grain and grass.

After receiving this news, on the one hand, he warned in the direction of Pingxing County, and on the other hand, asked the soldiers stationed at Yanmen Pass to prepare for the defense of the city.

There are not many soldiers under his command, only a thousand people, and this is still Luo Tong's care and won the most soldiers. When dividing the army, only large towns and particularly important places have the right to receive a thousand soldiers, and if it is a small county, a simple place, it can only have two or three hundred, and it is a weak brigade.

Early this morning, he got a bad news, Xiao Chenglong, the eldest prince of Xiao Yuyuan, the leader of the Qiang people, with the assembled 30,000 cavalry, quickly went to Yanmen to kill, the speed was very fast, he traveled 200 miles in one day, according to this speed, and when he arrived at dusk tomorrow, he would go to Yanmen Pass.

Chu Feiyan was shocked at first, and then sent three messages to Pingxing in a row, urging reinforcements.

At the same time, he called Zhang Hun and You Yu to the barracks to discuss how to resist foreign enemies next.

This is a big deal, Zhang Hun and You Yu didn't dare to delay, put down everything in their hands, and hurried to the barracks.

Chu Feiyan is still very good at governing the army, the barracks are rational and orderly, the soldiers are patrolling, the training of training, the roar is shocking, and there is something wrong. Although it is less than a thousand people, its momentum is no less than that of the regular army in Binh.

The two came to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Chu Feiyan looked up and said, "Two adults, please take a seat." ”

"Captain Chu, you called us here, but what do you have to say?"

"Don't you dare to give orders, I want to ask you for advice, how to resist the Qiang people."

Chu Feiyan said: "The three of us, we have just arrived here, and we encountered the attack of the Qiang people as soon as we arrived, so we were indeed a little caught off guard, and we didn't have time to prepare, but no matter what, we can't admit defeat, we should cheer up!" You know, everyone in Longxi is looking at us. ”

"Also, I don't need to say the importance of this Yanmen Pass, he chokes the main road into Longxi County, once it is broken by the enemy, the enemy's iron cavalry will drive straight into Longxi, and at that time, we will be sinners through the ages."

For what Chu Feiyan said, Zhang Hun and You Yu both knew.

Zhang Hun sighed and said: "Alas, the Qiang people are here, there are 30,000 iron horses, their iron horses, that is invincible, we have no soldiers and horses, how can we compete with them?" ”

You Yu said: "Yes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, although the captain is ambitious, I am afraid it will be difficult to carry it out." ”

Chu Feiyan frowned and said, "I invited you here to let you help you come up with ideas, don't say these cold words, right?" ”

"I might as well put it bluntly, I am short of soldiers, food, and equipment to defend the city; You say, "How can we have 5,000 soldiers and 5,000 loads of rations?" ”

The two looked at each other, and they were amused by Chu Feiyan's words, five thousand soldiers? 5,000 quintals of military rations? Where are they looking? Not to mention that the Yanmen Pass is gone, even if it is difficult to go 500 miles, I am afraid that it will not be able to make it up.

Zhang Hun said with a smile: "Captain Chu, don't bother with it, let's discuss how to use a thousand soldiers to guard Yanmen Pass." ”

Chu Feiyan was speechless and said, "You guys, why are your brains so rigid, is there really no way?" Like recruitment? As long as I put up a notice in the city, and those who are willing to participate in the defense of the city, I give them money, can they not come? ”

As soon as Chu Feiyan said half of his words, Zhang Hun and You Yu were so frightened that they almost fell. You Yu was shocked: "No, I don't agree, without the lord's order, if you recruit troops without authorization, this is a capital crime!" ”

"If you want to die, we won't accompany you."

"Yes, it's a capital offense, but what about a capital offense? If the Yanmen Pass is lost, do you think you will be able to live? Chu Feiyan snorted: "If it's time to be helpless, I'll do it!" ”

You Yan was still ready to continue to refute and object, but when he spoke outlinely, Zhang Hun stopped him and said with a smile: "Captain Chu, you don't need to scare us, you don't have money, what kind of recruits do you have, who will defend the city for you?" ”

"Let's talk about the actual ones, these words..."

Chu Feiyan laughed loudly and said, "What? You think I'm scaring you? ”

"I don't have any money, but I can owe it, I said that the lord owes them, and I will pay it back after the war; Anyway, if you can't keep it, it's a death, if you keep it, you have to kill and hang, I will listen to it. As long as you can keep the Yanmen Pass, you can do anything. ”

"Do you have any options? If I can't do it, I'm really going to put up a notice? ”

Zhang Hun and You Yu finally reacted, Chu Feiyan wasn't joking, maybe he really dared to do this.

Zhang Hun slapped the table fiercely and said, "No, you are not allowed to recruit soldiers, you are looking for death!" ”

Chu Feiyan said: "Then you can say a better way than me." ”

"I..."

"I can't help it..."

You Yu thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Huh? I have a solution, but I don't know if it's okay? ”

"Speak quickly, speak quickly."

Chu Feiyan and Zhang Hun's eyes lit up, and they asked.
