Although Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen has not been to any place in modern times, but all historical novels related to the north, or martial arts novels, all love to put Yanmen Pass in a very important, also mysterious and majestic position, here is indeed worth capitalizing and close-up, this is a monument of the Chinese nation step by step!

It is also a mighty and majestic man's body covered in scars! This Yanmen Pass has recorded too much history!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was originally a person with a lot of sentimentality, but when he faced a heavy psychological defeat, he can't do anything now, which is his biggest problem at present! He's going to adjust his mentality!

There is Yang Liulang temple built on the west gate, and the door forehead is inlaid with a stone plaque, and the book says "the location is advantageous". The north gate has not built the roof, the door forehead is inlaid with a stone plaque, the book says "Yanmen Pass" three big characters, the left and right inlaid bricks are carved with a couplet: "Three passes to be unparalleled, Jiuzhai respects the first pass." There are barracks built in the north of Guancheng, Jingbian Temple is built on the east side, there is a pair of stone lions, a stone flagpole and a stone tablet in it, the inscription records the great achievements of Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State, who led the troops to defeat the Xiongnu repeatedly. There is a military training school in the southeast direction.

Yanmen Pass and Ningwu Pass, Yatou Pass are the "outer three passes" of the Great Wall inside, here the peaks and peaks are stacked with cockroaches, the mountain cliffs are steep, the pheasant moat of the pass wall is dense, the beacon moat echoes each other from afar, the east and west sides will be the old Yingkou, the mouth of the pond, the mouth of Yangfang, the mouth of Donglongkou, the mouth of the west of the city, the mouth of the dagger, the mouth of the big stone, the mouth of Shikou, the mouth of Malan, the mouth of Ruyue, the mouth of Huyu and other eighteen passes are connected as a whole, the terrain is very dangerous, it is the place where the soldiers of the past dynasties have conquest.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not talk about these allusions with Cao Wenzhao anymore, and changed the topic, "Yang He's current movements. Do you have any real intelligence? Jinyiwei's spies came to report. Yang He's army is being mobilized along the Shanxi-Shaanxi border. ”

Cao Wenzhao listened to Lord Jian and asked about the movement of Yang He's army. He also hurriedly replied that it was necessary to examine the level of a general, and the movement of the enemy and friendly forces was a very important aspect! "Yang He's army totals 25,000 people, all of whom are concentrated in the remote pass."

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was secretly surprised! But he didn't show his face, "Are there so many people in Yang He?" ”

The intelligence of Gao Dewei's Jinyi Wei spy was that Yang He's army totaled more than 10,000 people, and Cao Wenzhao said at this time that Yang He had more than 25,000 people, which was more than doubled!

Gao Dewei was also surprised! Hurriedly argued. "Lord Cao, where did you get this information? I have someone to follow me to collect information. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen has always asked Yang Sichang to follow his side, even if he discussed the military situation with Cao Wenzhao, he did not mean to avoid Cao Wenzhao! Yang Sichang also has a sense of not caring about himself, this time he came, and he was not appointed to a specific position, he was purely a chess piece! It seems that everyone is not talking about Yang He, not about his own father, but Yang Sichang's heart is very sour. If it is the father who is in Ningwu Pass today, not in the side pass. That would be very different! Because! The partial pass is in the back, and Ning Wu is in the front. And from the side pass, you can withdraw from the gate at any time, this strategic intention, needless to say, you know! Just from my father's deployment, it can be seen that the determination to exterminate the anti-people army is very low!

Cao Wenzhao smiled faintly, "Master Gao doesn't need to be impatient, and your information is not wrong, but mine is more accurate, why do you say that?" Why does Yang He want to garrison the pass, I can say boldly, his heart can be punished! Yang He was stationed at the partial pass, definitely not to fight against the anti-people's army, but to protect the territory of the old generals on the three sides, just the Jiuqu and Fugu area, which is the place where the trilateral garrison has been stationed for a long time, and the old generals here are added together, at least tens of thousands, and they can form an army with more combat effectiveness than the trilateral army at any time! ”

Yang Sichang was shocked, if what Cao Wenzhao said just now was still insinuating, now it is a direct accusation, and in front of the special identity of the prosecutor Xunlou accusation, it is equivalent to directly telling the emperor, it's almost the same!

But Yang Sichang didn't say anything.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, but he didn't say anything, and said after a long time, "I know everything, you immediately let people contact General Qin Liangyu and Yang He, as well as Sun Chuanting, come to Yanmen Pass, convene a meeting to coordinate the enemy, and ask to receive a communication and arrive immediately!" ”

Cao Wenzhao nodded, glanced at Yang Sichang beside him, did not stay, and instructed the soldiers around him to immediately arrange a meal to entertain the people of Xunlou and his party, and he went down to arrange it.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not immediately enter the main building to rest, but lit a cigar, his cigar was about to run out, looking at the majestic Yanmen Pass, he didn't know what he was thinking.

During the Warring States Period, Li Mu, the general of Zhao State, was stationed in Yanmen, relying on the danger of closing the city, prudently defending, and defeating 100,000 Xiongnu horses; The famous generals of the Han Dynasty, Li Guang, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing once led their troops to fight with the Xiongnu here, and won a complete victory. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty once led his troops to fight the Turks here; The Tang general Xue Rengui once chased the Turkic soldiers and horses here, and the good news was frequent; Yang Ye of the Northern Song Dynasty also made several Yanmen to break the Liao soldiers, which made them frightened and won the title of "Yang Invincible". The list of heroic achievements is endless; A vivid story, widely known.

Yanmen Pass is composed of three parts: the closed city, the urn city and the siege city. The castle wall is 10 meters high and has a circumference of about 1 kilometer. The wall is based on a stone seat, filled with rammed earth, covered with bricks, and has a buttress on the wall.

Gates were opened on the east, west, and north sides of the castle. The door opening is stacked with bricks and stones, the bluestone slabs are paved, and the stone plaques are inlaid on the door forehead. The plaque of the east gate is engraved with the word "natural risk", and the door is built with "Yanmen Tower", which is the building on the top of the mountain with heavy eaves, five rooms are wide, four rooms are deep, and a corridor is set up all around. The West Gate door plaque is engraved with the word "geographical advantage", and its gatehouse is Yang Liulang Temple. The north gate is actually the city gate of the urn city, the door is engraved with the three words of "Yanmen Pass", and the two sides are inlaid with couplets "the three sides rush to be unparalleled, and the nine stops respect the first pass". The east and west gatehouses have been destroyed, and the north gate has collapsed into a gap.

The siege of Yanmen Pass was built along with the mountain, with a circumference of more than 5 kilometers. The southern end of the wall is connected to the east and west wings of the castle, and to the north it extends along the ridge to the valley floor, where a gate is built. Outside the siege, there are 3 large stone walls and 25 small stone walls, which act as barriers.

The peaks on both sides of Yanmen Pass are upright, the mountain is steep, and a small road is circled and twisted in the middle, passing through the city. On the hill directly north of Guancheng, there is the old site of the barracks of the Ming and Qing garrisons, and there is a school ground for military training in the southeast. Outside the West Gate, there is a temple about the emperor. There is Jingbian Temple outside the east gate, worship the famous general Li Mu of the Warring States Period, only the stone platform, the stone lion, the stone flagpole and the inscription of the Ming and Qing dynasties are left now.

The old Guancheng to the west of Seki Castle is commonly known as Tieli Gate. The two passes are connected by a stone-built Great Wall, and enemy towers, beacon towers, etc., are built to form a complete set of defense systems. There is a section of the Baicaokou Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty near the old Guancheng, which is one of the best-preserved sections of the Great Wall in China, with a total length of 5,033 meters, a wall height of 6-8 meters, a bottom width of 5 meters, and a top width of 3 meters. Every 120 meters or so, a beacon tower and an enemy tower were built, and in the dangerous area, a fortress, a ditch and a secret door were also set up. Its east and west ends extend to the north and eventually connect with the Outer Great Wall.

There are more than 60 Ming Dynasty ruins and relics around the Guancheng and under the mountain, such as the relevant office, the Dongcheng Bingpan, the Xicheng Bingpan, the Dianjiangtai, the Liulang City, the new Guangwu City, and the old Guangwu City, which are also an important part of the defense system of Yanmen Pass.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen sighed slightly, he had such a majestic pass in his hands, but he only had more than 2,000 troops that could be directly mobilized, more than 2,000 troops, against more than 200,000 anti-people troops, what should he do?

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen actually knew Yang He's character, he didn't believe that Yang He would really rebel, in fact, Yang He also belonged to a general figure like Yuan Chonghuan, but Yang He's ability was worse than Yuan Chonghuan, and the city government was deeper than Yuan Chonghuan! When it comes to fighting, Yang He is definitely not good, when it comes to being an official, when it comes to self-preservation, ten Yuan Chonghuan is not worth one Yang He, and when Yang He was asked to come to the three sides to be the governor of the three sides, it was also because no one came to the Ming Court!
