Cao Wenzhao and Sun Chuanting did not join forces, Cao Wenzhao was temporarily stationed at Yanmen Pass, while Sun Chuanting's army was stationed at Ningwu Pass.

The reason why Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen chose to go to Cao Wenzhao's army, instead of going to Ningwuguan, which is closer to the front-line battlefield, also has his own ideas, in the heart of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, in fact, he is also ashamed of Cao Wenzhao, if he is Jiang Gong, Cao Wenzhao is really the first trump card in his hands Zhang Lingfu, and he is a real victorious general on the battlefield in the late Ming Dynasty! Even if Cao Wenzhao is not as handsome as Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou, he is definitely the number one person among the generals!

In the previous life, there were many reasons for Cao Wenzhao's death, but as the supreme commander of the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen himself, it was difficult to escape the blame, on the one hand, he was always suspicious of people, which was a weakness of his character, on the other hand, the intrigue in the court, the eunuchs of the supervising army, Hong Chengchou of the local powerful faction, and the local governors, the capable ones aroused jealousy, and they were arrogant! There were too many people who said bad things about Cao Wenzhao, and in the end, his first trump card was inexplicably killed in the war against the people.

Cao Wenzhao's death undoubtedly dealt a great blow to Zhu Youzhen, the Chongzhen Emperor who was the supreme commander of the Ming Dynasty! There are not many capable people in his hands, and heroes are born in troubled times, which all refer to the people, to those who want to be on the throne and want to taste the taste of the Ninety-Five, not to the imperial court, let alone an empire building that is already collapsing!

Cao Wenzhao and more than 1,000 officers and soldiers had never seen this kind of thing flying in the sky, but with radio contact, they knew that it was the emperor's cronies, Lord Zhen, who had arrived. Everyone watched with awe as the helicopter gunship landed.

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen stopped the helicopter gunship. Flameout. Let Yang Qicong assign ten armed eunuchs from the West Factory to guard the plane, and he will take the others off the plane.

Cao Wenzhao's army was the elite 1,000 people of the Imperial Forest Army personally assigned to him by Emperor Zhu Youzhen, after more than a year of field battles, it was more elite and more well-trained, although the number was small, but it was decent!

Cao Wenzhao passed through the two rows of soldiers standing neatly and gave the standard military salute of the Ming Imperial Forest Army to the inspection tower that got off the plane. Whether it is dressed or military posture, this army is different from the local armed forces, and it is more than five times stronger than the combat effectiveness of the local government soldiers!

Zhu Youzhen, the Chongzhen Emperor wearing a soft leather mask, also performed a standard military salute, which was the unique characteristics of the Imperial Forest Army formed after modern military discipline in accordance with his requirements.

"General Cao has worked hard." Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen said lightly, he can't lift up what he sees now, in the original, as long as he is with his Royal Forest Army. Even more passionate than being with the most beautiful women in the world.

Cao Wenzhao also smiled faintly, "Lord Jian has worked hard. I have admired the daimyo for a long time! I heard that the Zunhua bombing was personally commanded by the prosecutor, which greatly strengthened the morale of the whole army of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, this time he came to the front line, did not issue a holy decree by himself as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, he still has self-knowledge of commanding this kind of large-scale battle of the ancient infantry, he is by no means the level of Cao Wenzhao and Hong Chengchou and others, "It's not worth mentioning, it's all the emperor's blessings, and the merits of the soldiers." ”

Cao Wenzhao thought that the inspector was modest, and he didn't care, so he took the inspection of Xun Building, Yang He, Gao Dewei, and a group of relatives from the inspection of Xun Building, and went to the main building of Yanmen Pass to rest.

After Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he sent the general Meng Tian to lead 300,000 troops from Yanmen, "attack Hu in the north, and collect the land of Henan" (that is, the Hetao area), drive the Xiongnu to the north of Yinshan, and build the Great Wall. According to local legend, Meng Tian was buried in Dai County after his death. There is a Mengtian tomb site in Shangmenwang Village, its broken monument still exists, and you can also see clearly: "Qin Mengtian General Tomb", and "Qing Jiaqing" and other words. According to the research of historians, Meng Tian's tomb is in Shaanxi, and this place is just a legend.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen looked at this majestic pass and said with heartfelt emotion, "The Yanmen of the Han Dynasty is even more changeable. During the period of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu had gone south and drove directly to Jinyang (Taiyuan). To this end, Liu Bangqin led an army of more than 300,000 troops to Datong, Shanxi, to fight against the Xiongnu. It's a pity that he was lured in by the Huns and trapped in Pingcheng Baishan for seven days, and finally Chen Ping bribed Shan Yu Yan with heavy money and property to be freed. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, he began to counterattack in the face of the Xiongnu's rampant southern aggression. The famous generals of the Han Dynasty, such as Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, and Li Guang, all galloped inside and outside the ancient fortress of Yanmen, defeated the Xiongnu many times, and made great contributions. Li Guang, the "ape-armed general", was too punctual in Daijun, Yanmen, and Yunzhong, and fought with the Xiongnu dozens of times, and was called "General Fei" by the Xiongnu. Once, he went out of Yanmen and was defeated and captured. In the net pocket between the two horses of the enemy, he pretended to lie down on the surface, but in his heart he was waiting for an opportunity. Suddenly, he jumped up, pushed a Hu soldier off his horse, immediately grabbed the horse, took the bow, and galloped south for dozens of miles, recovered the remaining army, killed the pursuers, and escaped safely. It was precisely because of the creation of strong cavalry during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to resist the southern invasion of the Xiongnu that it was able to protect the advanced economic and cultural development of the Central Plains, in exchange for the peaceful coexistence with the Xiongnu in the future. During the time of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, Wang Zhaojun, who was brave and knowledgeable, was hugged from the front and back of the Yanmen Pass. Since then, there has been a stable situation in this area of "the remote city is closed, the cattle and horses are wild, there is no dog barking police in the third world, and there is no battle in Li Shu". ”

Cao Wenzhao nodded, "War depends on strength and courage to speak, in the early days of the Northern Song Dynasty, the area around Yanmen Pass was a battlefield fiercely contested by the Song Liao (Khitans). The famous patriotic general Yang Ye (also known as Yang Jiye) and other soldiers of the Yang family have shown their skills here and made contributions to the country. In the four years of Song Taiping's rejuvenation of the country, Yang Ye served as the Daizhou Assassin and the deployment of the three Jiao stationed soldiers and horses, and many times won more with less, defeating the Liao soldiers, and people praised Yang Ye as "Yang invincible" at that time. In the third year of Yongxi, in the battle near Yanmen, due to the command error of the commander Pan Mei, the escape from the battle and the revenge of suspicion, Yang Ye fell into a heavy difficulty, and finally all the soldiers were destroyed, and he himself was seriously injured in Chenjiagu in Shuozhou and was held by the Liao soldiers, and he would rather die than give in, and finally went on a hunger strike for the country. In order to commemorate his military exploits and loyal spirit, later generations set up the "General Yang Temple" at the north entrance of Yanmen Pass. From where you are now, you can see the ancestral hall of General Yang. ”

Yanmen Pass, also known as Yanmen Stop, Xilong Pass, is located on the throat road in the south of Guangwu City, Shanyin County. After taking the car to the county seat of San'in, you will see the undulating mountains and ravines of the Gouzhu Mountains after about half an hour of running southeast.

At the foot of the mountain, hundreds of Han tombs are mound-like like hills, the high ones are about 15 meters, and the low ones are about 4 meters. In these Han tombs, there are countless loyal bones of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty guarding Yanmen Pass, and pedestrians passing by this place are all solemnly respectful and pay tribute to the souls of the heroes. Walk out of Guangwu City, go along the ditch along the same big highway, then enter a narrow valley, known as the ancient dangerous road of Yanmen, the peaks and peaks on both sides are stacked with cockroaches, the strange stone volley is sinister, turn over a steep mountain beam, the Yanmen Pass is immediately in people's eyes.

Yanmen Pass is adjacent to Longling in the east, Yanmen Mountain, Longshan in the west, the two mountains confront each other, the shape is like a noisy door, the wild geese fly in the middle every year, so it is called Yanmen. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, King Wuling of Zhao placed Yanmen County here, and the Tang Dynasty placed the pass, which was called Xicheng Pass, also known as Yanmen Pass. The site is on the Yanmen Mountain on the west side of Yanmen Pass. In the seventh year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1374 AD), Hou Luting of Ji'an moved the city here and rebuilt the pass. The gate of Yanmen Pass, the circumference is two miles, the wall is one zhang eight feet high, the bottom of the stone bar seat, the city bricks are built on it, and the door is three. There is a platform built on the east gate, the name is called the wild goose building, the door forehead is inlaid with a stone plaque, the book says "natural risk".

Thinking of the great achievements of the ancestors back then, and now withering in their own hands, the Gyeonggi region, the core of the empire, is about to be directly attacked by the anti-people army, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not have much feeling in his heart, just a faint tiredness, tired of this kind of life!
