Zhenbei General and Youzhou Mu Weishuo sent troops to Guanzhong from March to the end of April to attack Chang'an and take Yongzhou, it only took more than a month before and after, and the news was shocking to the world!

The news that Liaodong had taken Yongzhou was like a hurricane, rolling eastward one after another.

Zu Ti, who was sitting in Pengcheng, carefully flipped through the good news in his hand, looking at it word by word, for fear of missing any details, and only after a long time did he sigh and be silent.

Zu Cai, who had been standing quietly on the side, saw that Zu Ti seemed to be petrified, and after waiting for a long time without any movement, he couldn't help but step forward and call softly: "Brother...... Brother! ”

Only then did Zu Yi come back to his senses, and when he heard the sound, he looked at Zu Cai, and saw his worried face, and couldn't help but say softly: "It's nothing, it's just a momentary distraction." It seems that I really underestimated Naoyuan, you see that he acted and acted before acting, and he took one step at a time to achieve today's achievement. ”

"Until now, I can't forget the scene when Yongjia met him in Pengcheng for five years, when Wei Zhiyuan was just a little-known little soldier Cao Zhi, with only 3,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and few generals. Now it has only been seven years, Wei Zhiyuan is the general of the town of Beida, with as many as five states under his jurisdiction, millions of people governing the people, and his subordinates are like rain and soldiers. ”

"Far from it!"

"Brother, if this continues, won't the world fall into the hands of Wei Zhenbei sooner or later? I don't know if he will take advantage of the opportunity to establish himself as king! ”

After listening to Zu Gai's words, Zu Ti waved his hand and said: "You are too underestimated Zhiyuan, he will definitely go to the table to persuade King Langya to inherit the unification!" ”

"Zhiyuan's achievements today are not only due to his outstanding personal ability and means, but also to his ability to take advantage of the situation. Wei Zhenbei has always loved to occupy the moral high ground, so that the outside world has no fault with him. Just looking at the fact that after he captured Chang'an, he escorted the king of Nanyang to Jianye as soon as possible, and it can be seen that he has no intention of breaking away from the Jin family and standing on his own at the moment. ”

Zu Cai's eyes rolled when he heard this, and he glanced at Zu Yi carefully, and suggested: "Since my brother even supports King Langya in the north of Wei Zhenbei, should we also go to the letter to persuade him?" Just take this opportunity to get closer to King Langya. ”

Hearing this, Zu Qi's face darkened, since he acquiesced in Zu Yue's attack on the western part of Yuzhou, and wrote a book to list it as the history of Yuzhou, the relationship between the rest of the Langya kings has been frozen. For many years, there was almost no contact between Xuzhou and Jiangzuo, and King Langya had not summoned Zu Qi back to Jianye for a long time to report on his work.

Originally, Xuzhou had always had the support of Liaodong, and with Yuzhou as his wings, Zu Ti was not in a hurry to improve his relationship with King Langya. However, no one expected that at the beginning of the spring of the sixth year of Jianxing, under the stormy attack of Shile, Zu Yue simply lost Yuzhou, and then fled back in embarrassment.

The loss of Yuzhou made Zu Li feel unprecedented pressure, coupled with his loyalty to the Jin family, he naturally faintly had a little vigilance against Liaodong. Prompted by a variety of factors, Zu Ti was eager to improve relations with Jiangdong.

"Brother, now that Yuzhou is lost, the main force of Liaodong is all in Guanzhong, and if the ancestral family wants to keep Xuzhou, they have to rely on Jiangzuo's support!"

"If the elder brother agrees, the younger brother is willing to go to Jianye to persuade King Langya in person!"

Looking at Zu Gai, who was speaking earnestly in front of him, Zu Yue finally nodded slowly. Seeing this, Zu should be overjoyed, he is the least of the brothers who wants to see the ancestral family break with King Langya.

……

It is said that Beigong Chun was entrusted with the important position of governor by Wei Shuo, and was fully responsible for the affairs of the western expedition to Qinzhou, and he felt a heavy responsibility and did not dare to slack off.

On this day, he was discussing the strategy of sending troops to Qinzhou with the army in the camp of Yongxian County, when suddenly the guards came to report that there was a scholar outside the door who asked to see him.

Beigong Chun was stunned when he heard this, and complained with a little dissatisfaction: "What kind of reader? If you are looking for a job, let him go directly to Chang'an to meet the lord? What are you doing here? Didn't he know that Liaodong had always been a civilian-military system? As a military general, how dare you meddle in political affairs? ”

The recorder joined the army and hurriedly persuaded: "General, slow down!" The lord has always been thirsty for talent, if you just send someone like this, if you ruin the lord's reputation, won't you lose a big one because of a small one? Moreover, if the person who came was a local scholar, the general could also take the opportunity to ask him about the geography of Qinzhou. ”

"Well, it makes sense to join the army, please let him in!"

Beigong is a simple general, so naturally he won't do anything about corporal Lixian, so he waved his hand very casually and ordered the guards to invite people.

After a while, I saw the guard leading a middle-aged man with a free and easy bearing into the living room, and this person had a very comfortable temperament, which made people feel good.

"I don't know Mr. Gao's name?" Seeing that the temperament of the person who came was extraordinary, Beigong Chun's tone was also a lot softer.

"In the next Tianshui Yang Ke, meet General Beigong!"

"Yang Ke? You...... You are the Fang Shi Yang Ke who lives in seclusion in Longshan? ”

Knowing the name of the person who came, Beigong Chun was taken aback, he didn't expect that the person in front of him was actually a well-known local hermit.

Although he is a native of Liangzhou, he has also heard of Yang Ke's name.

It is recorded in the Book of Jin * Yinyi Biography: Yang Ke, a native of Tianshui. He has been familiar with the scriptures and history since he was a child, and he has excellent studies and is proficient in "Yi". He was born in a poor family, his family was poor, he could only maintain food and clothing with coarse tea and light food on weekdays, and his clothes were simple, and others couldn't stand the hardship, but Yang Ke was leisurely.

After learning something, Yang Ke lived in seclusion in Longshan, began to accept disciples, taught studies, and became more and more famous.

After Liu Yao of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom was proclaimed emperor, he heard Yang Ke's virtuous name, so he recruited Taichang who hired him as the head of Jiuqing.

Yang Ke was already cold about his career, and he was even more unwilling to serve the king of Yidi, so he stubbornly refused to accept it.

Later, Shi Hu even used coercion to force Yang Ke to come out, but Yang Ke was ashamed of the brutal and brutal Yidi, and he never became an official, and finally died of illness.

"I wonder what Mr. is visiting today?"

Knowing that the person who came was a famous hermit, Beigong Chun did not dare to be presumptuous, and respectfully invited Yang Ke to sit on the main seat. And he just stood by and listened to the teachings.

"Ke's visit today is mainly to help General Beigong recover Qinzhou in Longyou. Although Ke lived in seclusion in Longshan and didn't ask about the world, he couldn't bear to sit back and watch Hu Lu steal Qinzhou and harm my Jinmin. I have long heard that the military discipline of the Liaodong Army is strict, and the general of Zhenbei loves the people like a son, and he respects and admires it, and he also feels that it is not easy for the general to raise troops to attack Qinzhou, and he is not willing to help the general. ”

"Qinzhou Zhuhu gathered tens of thousands of troops, relying on the Longshan natural danger to try to protect themselves. Although the general has 50,000 elites, it is not easy to break through the Longshan natural danger in one fell swoop. ”

"What the gentleman said is very true, I was entrusted by the lord and entrusted with a heavy task to conquer Qinzhou. If it is a frontal decisive battle, I am not afraid of the Hulu army, but there is Longshan blocking the road in front, if you can't pass through Longshan smoothly, how can you pacify Qinzhou? I wonder if the gentleman has a plan to teach me? ”

"Don't worry, general, listen to the next one! Longshan can be subdivided into Dalongshan (now Liupan Mountain) and Xiaolongshan, spanning the north and south, and is the natural dividing line between Yongqin and Qin. Since ancient times, most of the people who have crossed Longshan from east to west have chosen Longdi Road as the way. This road was raised in the Han Dynasty due to the Silk Road, and the Longdi Road was an important passage from Guanzhong to Hexi. ”

"Longdi Road starts from Longguan in the east, goes southwest through Qingshui County, can directly lead to Shangtai City, Qin Huang, Han Wu two emperors have been to Longxi to inspect; To the northwest, through Shangguan, Yangcheng, over Xiaolong Mountain, you can enter the Fuhong nest Luoyang City. Because of this extremely important way, Yi Hongzhizhi will definitely send heavy troops to guard the passes along the way, unless the general sends a large army to take it, it will be difficult to take it. ”

"Dare to ask sir, is there any other passage besides Longdi Road that can cross Longshan?"

"Yes! And there's more than one! Yang Ke replied with a smile.

"Really? That...... I don't know what the roads are? Beigong asked anxiously.

There is a chicken head road in the north of Longdi Road, and then to the north is Fansu Road, these two roads are used by Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty to conquer the hustle and bustle of Longyou, so far it has been somewhat deserted, the road on the way is rugged, and the people are inaccessible. However, because there is an overlap with Longdi Road, even if Fu Hong does not send troops to garrison, he will send a guard, and it is still not easy to succeed in a sneak attack. ”

"Then where should we enter Longyou?" Seeing that Yang Ke had denied several ancient roads one after another, Beigong Chun became anxious.

Yang Ke's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he pointed to Xiao Guan in the northwest of Anding, and said, "Wating Road!" (To be continued.) )
