Legend has it that during the Warring States Period, King Qin Hui wanted to swallow Shu, suffering from no way into Shu, and lied about giving hardware bulls and five beauties to the king of Shu.

In the thirty-mile-long Jianmen Shu Road, the Jianmen Pass is the natural danger of the Shu Road, the Sword Pavilion is magnificent and Cui Wei, a husband is a pass, ten thousand people are not open, it is located in the lofty mountains of the Great Sword Mountain, and it has cut off the only way to go down to the Bashu from the south of Hanzhong.

During the period of the Three Kingdoms, the Wei general Zhong Hui attacked Shu, and the Shu general Jiang Wei led an army of 30,000 troops to garrison Jianmen County, guarding Jianmen Pass, and resisting Zhonghui's 100,000 troops outside Jianmen Pass.

Historical reincarnation, to this day, the Northern Tang Dynasty general Li Guangbi led an army of 100,000 to take the Golden Bull Road, to attack Shuzhong, but the army was blocked outside the Jianmen Pass, the Southern Tang Dynasty general Chen Xuanli led 50,000 troops to camp in the three counties of Jianbei, and he himself personally led 30,000 elite soldiers stationed in Jianmen County, relying on the natural danger of Jianmen Shu Road and the Northern Tang Army confrontation.

The two armies had been facing each other inside and outside the Jianmen Pass for seven days, and the two armies had fought more than a dozen times intermittently, all on a small scale, with each suffering casualties.

It seems that the Northern Tang Army could not find any effective way to attack, and the two sides were in such an indefinite stalemate.......

Although Jianmen Pass is in a stalemate, there has been a change in Langzhong County, which is about 100 miles southwest of Jianmen County.

In order to fight against the Northern Tang Army, Li Longji and Li Heng father and son implemented the strategy of reckless military force, Bashu actually recruited 400,000 troops, the people's place, the country's taxes, seven or eight out of ten were put into the army, the 400,000 troops were stationed in two places, Jingxiang 200,000, Shu 200,000, after the Jingxiang army was annihilated, the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty was only 200,000 people, and then removed the 20,000 Jia Chongqian army of Nanzhao, in fact, there were only 180,000, of which 100,000 troops were stationed in Chengdu, and the other 80,000 troops were mobilized in the three counties of Jianbei alone. The remaining 30,000 troops were stationed in various dangerous passes, and basically there were no troops stationed in the hinterland prefectures and counties.

Langzhong County is the seat of Langzhou Prefecture, located at the confluence of the two rivers of the Jialing River and the East Tour, the climate is mild, the land is fertile, it was the capital of Bashu, in the fertile Bashu Basin, Langzhong County is an extremely important county, the economic status is very high, and it has always been a large county of Bashu taxation.

Despite its high economic status, its military status was mediocre, with no army garrison, and only more than 100 militia soldiers guarding the city gates.

Night, the dark and dreary night shrouded Langzhong County, it was the third watch, Wan Lai was silent, the city gate had already been closed, more than 20 militia soldiers in Dongcheng were asleep, a veteran head woke up from his sleep, muttered to get up at night, he at the foot of the wall, the night wind blew him awake a little, he was about to go back to the room, but a strange phenomenon attracted him, he suddenly saw a long black dragon winding from a distance, extremely fast, the ground began to tremble slightly, closer and closer, gradually, he saw clearly.

"Turtle son, it seems to be a cavalry!"

The old soldier's head jumped up in fright and rushed to the bell tower, 'Dang! While! The bell rang, and the dull and piercing sound of the bell woke up the whole county, and the militia soldiers ran to the head of the city, and the situation outside the city frightened each of them to the pale face.

The cavalry outside the city had already lit torches, and the light of the fire spread into the distance, and there were 20,000 people, all of them cavalry.

This cavalry of 20,000 people is the cavalry of the Northern Tang Dynasty from Lychee Road, led by the general Tian Qianzhen, they were the first to be stationed in Tocharo's Anxi Army, followed Li Guangbi to conquer Longyou, formed a new Longyou Army, this time Li Guangbi led 50,000 Longyou elite into Hanzhong, they are also among them.

According to Li Guangbi's earliest battle plan, Li Guangbi led the main force to feint an attack on Jianmen Pass, and the deputy general Tian Qianzhen led 10,000 cavalry to attack Chengdu.

However, with the capture of Yiling and the early completion of the Jingxiang Campaign, Li Guangbi changed the battle plan, and the general Li Sheng led 50,000 troops to Yiling into Shuzhong and attack Chengdu, while Tian Qianzhen led 20,000 cavalry to take the Lychee Road, using the high-speed maneuver of the cavalry, inserted behind Jianzhou, and attacked Jianmen from behind.

Tian Qianzhen marched all the way, quickly crossed the Lychee Road, where there were few garrisons, and used surprise attack tactics to pull out three outposts in the Lychee Road in a row.

In Xuanhan County, the Southern Tang Dynasty also had 10,000 heavy troops stationed, Tian Qianzhen did not startle the snake, but took advantage of the rapid maneuver of the cavalry, detoured through Dongxiang and Yongmu counties into Bazhou, and arrived at Langzhong County after two days of marching.

Langzhou Taishou surname Zeng, is Tianbao three years jinshi, was originally Langzhong County magistrate, promoted to Taishou has been two years, he a few days he felt a little sick, sleep groggily, sleeping on the side of the lady was suddenly awakened by the bell from the city.

"Sir! Master! ”

Mrs. Taishou woke up her husband, and Zeng Taishou asked in a daze, "What's the matter!" ”

"It seems that something is happening in Dongcheng, I heard the bell ringing, you go and see!"

"What could happen at such a late hour? I've got a lot of headaches, I'll talk about it tomorrow! ”

Zeng Taishou turned over and was about to continue sleeping, when a fierce knock came from outside.

"Envoy! Envoy! A servant was screaming in panic.

"What's going on?" Zeng Taishou asked extremely unhappily.

"Envoy, tens of thousands of cavalry from outside Dongcheng want us to open the door."

"Hey! Tossing the dead, how come the army again. ”

The crossing of the army means that the people are working and the money is lost, and it means that there are many cases of evil surnames, which makes his head as big as a fight, Zeng Taishou did not react, he sat up, put on a dress, opened the door and asked, "Where did the army come from?" ”

"Envoy, it's cavalry!"

Zeng Taishou woke up suddenly, where are there any cavalry in the Southern Tang Dynasty? He was suddenly frightened, this was the Northern Tang Army, his first reaction was to drill the bed, but was stopped by his wife.

"Master, don't be stupid, go and see!"

His wife is a native of Gyeongju, and she knows that the Anxi Army has strict military discipline, but it is not terrible, but it will be terrible if the Southern Tang Army comes.

Under the persuasion of his wife, Zeng Taishou was slightly at ease, and rushed to Dongchengtou in official clothes.

Outside the eastern city, Tian Qianzhen had been waiting for a long time with his army, and they all brought their own dry food, and generally did not enter the city, trying not to disturb the people, but crossing the Jialing River needed the cooperation of the government, and Tian Qianzhen needed to discuss with the officials.

At this time, a large number of officials and officials came to the city, and the officials of the state and county governments came, and the fire outside the city was like an ocean, and all the officials were frightened.

"Xiaguan.... It's Langzhou Taishou Zeng Yanhei, may I ask.... Which general is under the city? ”

"Below is the governor of Lanzhou, the general of Yunlu, Tian Qianzhen, who was ordered by the imperial court and the king of Zhao to exterminate the puppet emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, passing through Langzhou, please open the city gate quickly, I have something to discuss with you."

"Excuse me.... Is the army entering the city? ”

"The army will not enter the city, nor will it ask you to provide food, but if you want to provide ferries, we will requisition all the ferries."

The officials quickly discussed, there is no problem in providing ferries, the key is that they are afraid of the army entering the city, and in the end Zeng Taishou took the idea, they can't hold the city at all, it is better to open the city, in addition, although the other party said that they don't want food, they still have to prepare dry food and cooked meat as much as possible to treat the army, in a word, don't offend the other party.

They acted separately, the county government went to prepare dry food and cooked meat, the state government went to mobilize the ferry, the city gate slowly opened, Zeng Taishou led nearly a hundred elders in the city to greet them, they knelt in front of Tian Qianzhen's war horse, Zeng Taishou raised the Taishou seal, "Langzhou is willing to surrender to the Northern Tang Dynasty and be loyal to the court and King Zhao!" ”

Tian Qianzhen felt the fear of the officials and the people, he turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward to help Zeng Taishou, "Don't be like this, Taishou is not like this, everyone is Tang Chen, we are not An Lushan bandits." ”

He said loudly to more than 100 elders: "Fellow villagers, the Anxi army is strictly disciplined, there is no crime in the autumn, we will not enter the city, let alone blackmail the people, we are rushing to Jianzhou, as the saying goes, the defeated army is like locusts, once the Southern Tang army is defeated, the defeated army will inevitably burn and loot, and destroy the lives of the people, we just want to block the way for the defeated soldiers to flee south, so that the south of Jianzhou will not suffer from the military disaster, this is the military order of His Royal Highness King Zhao, the murderer is dead, the injured and the thief is guilty, please rest assured!" ”

The elders became excited, and I don't know who shouted, "Long live King Zhao!" ”

More than 100 old people raised their arms and shouted, the officials and people in the city were infected, and the city and the city all shouted together, "Long live King Zhao, long live the Northern Tang Army......

Zeng Taishou was extremely moved, and he said sincerely to Tian Qian: "The Southern Tang Dynasty court is reckless in military force, and the taxes are heavy, and all states and counties are deeply affected, I would like to issue a document to Shu Zhongzhou County, calling on Shu Zhongzhou County to return to the Northern Tang Dynasty and resist the Southern Tang Dynasty puppet emperor." ”

Tian Qian was really overjoyed, and bowed to him, "If you are like this, you should remember the great merit!" ”

The sky is gradually bright, Langzhong officials from the vicinity to mobilize nearly a thousand large and small boats, Langzhong was originally the most important ferry port in the middle reaches of the Jialing River, this area of water flow is gentle, the waves are like a mirror, very suitable for crossing the river.

In the morning light, 20,000 cavalry began to cross the river, at this time, Tian Qianzhen's words have been spread throughout the city through the mouth of more than 100 old people, without the county government deliberately prepared, tens of thousands of city fathers and elders spontaneously sent out of the city, flocked to the dock, eat pot pulp, reward the Northern Tang cavalry, the scene was very warm, Tian Qianzhen led hundreds of officers to kneel to thank the father and the villagers, and left more than 100 wounded soldiers in the city to recuperate.

It was not until the afternoon that 20,000 cavalry finally crossed the Jialing River, and the army lifted its spirits and rushed towards the three counties of Jianbei, which were hundreds of miles away.
