"General Wei, His Royal Highness ordered me to wait to cross the river, and General Zhang will arrive at the moment, telling me to wait to take Tongguan first, and then go east!"

"Take Tongguan first?" Wei Yan - stunned, "The prime minister explained in his letter that he asked a certain person to take the letter to the west entrance of Guguan first, Hongnong was lost, and the head and tail of the Tongguan garrison were cut off, and they dispersed, why did they change their strategy?"

The sentence hugged his fist and said, "The general doesn't know, His Royal Highness Hanguguan has already made arrangements, first take Tongguan, open up contact with Chang'an, and facilitate the transportation of grain, grass, table tennis and horses, but Luoyang will be determined by the war!"

"Hahaha, is it another profitable strategy?" Wei Yan couldn't help laughing, and then sighed again, "A certain merit was robbed by him again."

"Uncle Wei, take a detour to Wuguan to get Hongnong, you came really fast!" As he was talking, a rough voice sounded on the river, and it was Zhang Baoling's table tennis horse that arrived.

Wei Yan scolded with a smile and said, "Hey, what a little boy, you have been fighting in Bingzhou for a few times, but you are happy, and you still come to covet my little merit?"

Zhang Bao laughed and went ashore, accompanied by Xu Ling, ordered Wang Ren and Yin Li to straighten up the Ping Pong Horse, and talked to Wei Yan about the aftermath, and came to the Chinese army to discuss the matter of taking Tongguan.

Xu Ling asked, "The general took Hongnong, I don't know who is guarding the city?"

"Du Pre!" Wei Yan replied, with emotion, "Xiaoyi really has the ability to recognize people, Du Qikai not only has the ability to unify the table tennis, but also repeatedly offers strange strategies, this time to enter the army Hongnong, if he didn't lead the way and plan, it would not be so easy, no trace, Wei Jun has been aware of it so far."

"Your Highness's vision has never been wrong!" Xu Ling couldn't help nodding, Liu Changsheng's civil and military promotions in the court all shined, "General Du has made great contributions this time, and it is not in vain that His Royal Highness has made a lot of money before."

"Let's not talk about that!" Wei Yan waved his hand and asked, "General Fang Cai said that he wants to take Tongguan first, I don't care how the benefits are arranged, but Tongguan is mine, and no one is allowed to rob it!"

Seeing Wei Yan's eyes glaring and his tiger eyes, Zhang Bao also secretly shrunk his neck, hehe-hey-laughing, not daring to argue with him.

He also understood that Wei Yanzhen had been guarding Chang'an for three years, and the biggest heart disease was Tongguan, if it wasn't for the place where Tongguan was blocked, Wei Yan would have the heart to take it down, and because of the danger of Tongguan, Chang'an's ping horses had no choice but to go to Xihe, and let Liu Changsheng and others become famous in the world.

"His Royal Highness Hanguguan has already made arrangements, and there is still news coming from the end, so don't dare to act rashly!" Xu Ling nodded and explained, "His Royal Highness asked us to take this opportunity to take Tongguan and open up the Chang'an Passage, so that as long as the news of Hangu Guan Qi Ping comes here, we can go straight to Luoyang."

"Nothing wrong!" Wei Yan praised the festival, "Man Boning thought that blocking the west entrance of Tongguan would be foolproof, but he didn't understand that he had already arrived at the east exit, this time I want to see, if I enter from the east entrance, where else can he escape?"

Ju Fu was indignant, and said, "After passing the customs for several years, I would never have thought that the second strategy he was proud of would end up being just a cocoon and cut off his way back!"

"Hahaha, isn't this just catching a turtle in an urn?" Zhang Bao couldn't help but laugh.

"Although this time it is unprepared, Tongguan is really a natural danger, it cannot be attacked, and it needs to be outwitted!" Xu Ling said to everyone, "—Once the garrison understands that there is no way out, there will definitely be a heart to fight to the death, let's go back to Hongnong first, and after asking Linghu Taishou, we will make a plan!"

Wei Yan nodded, and said, "That Ling Hu Shao is an honest official, but it is also wise, he has long understood that his nephew Ling Hu Hua and nephew Ling Hu Jun will return to my big man, and when a certain Ping An arrives in the city, he will understand the general situation, and lead the officials in the city to open the city and surrender, I don't think I will refuse to decide." After a brief discussion, he left a sentence to support Fenglingdu, waiting for Liu Changsheng to come after the army, Wei Yan and Zhang Bao and others led the fine table tennis to Hongnong, preparing to take Tongguan first and open up the Chang'an road.

544 Hidden Troubles

Tongguan is adjacent to the Yellow River in the north, the mountainside in the south, the surrounding mountains and mountains, the peaks are connected and stretched, the valley is deep and the cliff is broken, the mountain is high and the road is narrow, from the Central Plains into the pass, there is only one sheep intestine trail, from this through, if it is not to start the people to repair the pipeline, can only allow the car to pass. The history of Tongguan is not as long as Hangu Pass, it is the Wei Wu Emperor Cao Cao set up, after the re-establishment of the capital in Luoyang, Cao Cao in order to prevent the Guanxi Ping Pong Rebellion, defend Gyeonggi, set up Tongguan in the year of Jian'an, and at the same time abandon Hangu Pass, the guard of Hangu Pass moved to Chang'an in the west, and stationed in Hongnong, set up

Set three lines of defense to protect Kyoto Luoyang.

Tongguan is also built by the mountain, the north is the Yellow River, is turning from the south to the east from here, so it is impossible to detour through Tongguan from the waterway, and if you want to enter the Guanzhong, only Tongguan - a road. After more than ten years of repair and construction, Tongguan has already become a dangerous place, especially when Chang'an is lost, full of pets is to increase the defense, several years, in addition to practicing table tennis, is to repair the pass, than the original full three feet higher, - half of the passage are blocked with earth and stone, Xiguan channel only contains

The two walked side by side. Although his practice was for long-term consideration, it was also repeatedly impeached by many people, blocking the pass, which was very unfavorable to the merchants, and many caravans of large families passed through the Tong Pass, and had to exchange carriages and horses at the east and west passes, which cost a lot more, and the movement was quite inconvenient, and many people were harmed

interests.

But Manchu doesn't care, he wants to ensure that the pass is not lost, and he does not live up to the trust of the emperor, and with the support of Zhong Xuan and Sima Yi, the others are just verbally criticized, and if the court does not order the removal of the blockage, he will act as usual.

This year, I heard that Liu Changsheng attacked Xihe County, seeking to merge the state, and felt uneasy when he was full of favors, the Shu army was stable in the Xihe, the east could attack and annex the state, and the south could take the east of the river, and the east of the Danhe River was lost, and the Shu army took Luoyang from the north bank of the Yellow River, and the Tongguan Tianxuan ceased to exist.

Unexpectedly, half a year later, Jingran was really like this, the news of the loss of Anyi came, and the full pet was even more anxious, and he had three twists and turns on his face, asking the imperial court to send table tennis to reinforce the ferries along the Yellow River, and at the same time it was necessary to increase the table tennis in Hongnong and strengthen the defense of Hangu Pass.

Since the establishment of Tongguan, Hangu Pass has only been a pass to collect taxes and fees from past merchants, and there is no fine table tennis guard, and the equipment is insufficient, - Danshu army crossed the river to the south, Hongnong and Hangu Pass should be the first battle, Tongguan can not help except block the Chang'an reinforcements.

After the fold was handed over, I don't know how the imperial court deployed, but the matter of moving the capital was vast, Bai Xiahou Nan was the general of Zhendong, staying in Luoyang, and was dispatching all kinds of ping pong horses, but Hongnong has not moved so far.

In addition to sending people to closely monitor Chang An Dongjing, every few days, Man Pet would also send people to Hongnong to inquire about the news, and he was very worried, Liu Changsheng was really treacherous with Ping Pong, and it was difficult to predict where he would enter the army next.

"General, Hongnong has sent reinforcements so far, could it be that General Xiahou wants to defend Luoyang and give up Hongnong?" Within the pass, Vice General Liu Shao's brows were tightly locked.

Man Pet sighed with his back and said, "The matter of moving the capital involves a wide range of things, General Xiahou will first stabilize Luoyang, and then deploy Hongnong, I hope - it's still too late!"

If the Shu army wants to directly cross the river to attack Luoyang, it will inevitably enter Hanoi, compared to Hanoi, it is obviously more advantageous to take Hongnong first.

The Shu army is now only occupying half of the land east of the river, if it is divided into the east of the river and enters Hanoi, it will be a lone army going deep, and the risk is extremely great, where is there still the strength to take Luoyang again?

On the other hand, crossing the river to the south to take Hongnong, - once Hongnong is lost, Tongguan will have no meaning, after opening up Chang'an, the Shu army can drive Pingping to the east, straight to Luoyang.

Anyone who has some wisdom will choose Hongnong, not to mention a person like Liu Changsheng who is good at using table tennis?

Although Hongnong has news so far, he knows that this is a moment before the storm comes, if the ping pong horse is not deployed, Hongnong is lost, and the consequences are unimaginable.

Liu Shaoyan said, "You and I have been stationed in Tongguan for three years, and at the end of the year, the Shu army can step through, but unexpectedly, the West River was captured, and the east of the river was lost, and now Nanyang is also fighting, and the Shu army has abandoned the middle road and divided the north and south, which is to bypass the Tongguan Heaven!"
