Tianqiguan walked into the throat of Taidang County, stuck here, if you want to enter Taidang County, you only have to go over the mountains and mountains, but not to mention the difficulty of this road, it is difficult for people to come in, not to mention the grain truck of the brigade.

"Come on, hurry up and ask Master Yan Junshi to discuss with Lord Chu Xuan!"

Zou Hong said loudly.

"Ziyu, you quickly report this situation to Lord Liu Yiyuan of Merlot County, if Tianqi Pass is blocked, we can only rely on him Merlot County Road."

"Yes, my lord, I'll do it right away!"

Confucius Ziyu rushed out again.

After a while, Yan Qinghua and Chu Xuan came to Zou Hong's side one after the other.

Zou Hong briefly introduced the matter to the two of them, and Yan Qinghua and Chu Xuan immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

"This matter must be resolved immediately."

Yan Qinghua said:

"If the adequate supply of food cannot be guaranteed, the final plan formulated by Hou Ye to pacify the Northern Barbarians will be difficult to achieve, which will force Hou Ye to fight a quick battle, and a quick victory, even if Bai Deyuan is defeated and Tiandu Gele is defeated, the follow-up will also make Taidang County mired in a quagmire and unable to extricate itself, and it is simply unable to deal with the changes in the situation in the Central Plains."

"What's more, a quick battle will definitely make the soldiers of Taidang County pay more casualties. This is also a great disadvantage for the Taidang County Army, we have to defeat the Northern Barbarians, and at the same time, we must ensure sufficient strength. ”

"Lord Chu Xuan, have you ever had any clues about Pu Zhihuai doing this?"

Zou Hong asked Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan shook his head a little confused, "Not at all, all kinds of signs show that Pu Zhihuai has no intention of being an enemy of us at all, if this is the case, then Taihe County should reorganize its armament and gather troops, otherwise Taidang County will free up his hand, and it will be the moment to kill him." ”

"How so?"

Zou Hong was puzzled, "Could it be that Hou Dayong, the general of Tianqi Pass, made his own claim?" ”

"It's entirely possible!"

Yan Qinghua said:

"Lord Chu Xuan, if there is no sign of Pu Zhihuai being an enemy with us, then the problem is likely to be with this Hou Dayong, you immediately go and check the details of this Hou Dayong to see what he is from? There is no other special background. ”

"I'll do it right away!"

Chu Xuan nodded.

"In three days at the latest, I will be able to dig out three generations of his ancestors."

Yan Qinghua sighed and said slowly:

"Or are we too careless, Tianqi Pass is so important, it is completely the lifeline of our Taidang County, we have ignored it before."

"Do you want to tell Master Hou about this?"

Zou Hongdao.

Yan Qinghua nodded, "Eight hundred miles to expeditious, report to Hou Ye quickly, and at the same time tell Hou Ye that we will solve this matter as much as possible, if there is any disharmony, we can only let Hou Ye start the second set of plans." ”

The three of them all have a worried face, and the second plan is to fight quickly, and this is what none of them want to see.

Tianqi Pass, the city is twenty meters high, about five miles long, although it is smaller than the Taidang County City, but because of the dangerous terrain, tightly curb the throat of the Taidang County into the hinterland of the Central Plains, it has always been valued by the court of the Dawu Empire, here is the last dangerous pass to block the northern Xinjiang barbarians from attacking the hinterland of Dawu, in history, Taidang County has fallen several times, but they are all blocked by the Tianqi Pass, and the barbarians cannot enter the Central Plains.

After crossing the Tianqi Pass, it is a boundless plain, no longer there is any danger to defend, it is the successive dynasties of the Dawu Empire, while operating Taidang County, it also does not forget to strengthen the protection of Tianqi Pass, several generations of operation, Tianqi Pass has been called an iron wall.

But since the beginning of Emperor Zhenchong, first Kang Ren ruled the Taidang County, stabilized the strategic situation with the northern Xinjiang, formed a strategic balance of power, and then the Taidang County fell into the hands of Su Jun, three years of operation, but also the Northern Barbarian tribes were beaten to no strength, to this day, the Northern Barbarian is already in decline, not only unable to invade the Dawu Empire, but also even self-protection has been powerless.

First of all, as today's Qiguan danger has become a chicken rib, the heavy troops stationed here began to be slowly withdrawn because of the rebellion in other regions, and finally, Tianqiguan has only left the local soldiers and horses of Taihe County to garrison, maintaining a garrison of about 10,000 people, subordinate to the county head of Taihe County Pu Zhihuai, and Tianqi Pass guard Hou Dayong is Pu Zhihuai's general.

After Tianqiguan lost the barrier function of the hinterland of the Central Plains, its status was greatly reduced, and now it has been classified as Changfeng County of Taihe County, and as the county capital of Changfeng County, there are about tens of thousands of residents.

Although Tianqi Pass has been declining, but the prosperity of the past is still not far away, Changfeng County is a large grain producing county, the place is rich, and Tianqi Pass is the pass of Taidang County, many merchants set up a branch here, and Taidang County and Northern Xinjiang trade, the floating population is very large, and the commercial tax is a great income.

Most of the customs from here are some luxury goods, the value is expensive, after the Taidang County and the Northern Xinjiang War, more materials from here are flowing into Taidang County, this income alone is enough to make any other Taihe County county head red-eyed.

Being a county head or a garrison general here is a blushing fat difference. One of the fat difference of the Tianqiguan garrison is located in the south of the city, here was originally the general of the army stationed, the road is not only spacious, and are paved with neat stone slabs, the houses on both sides of the street are planned in a unified way, the style is unified, after the army withdraws, most of the vacant houses left are bought by the new merchants, one after another businesses began to open here, the original strictness has gradually been replaced by a dazzling variety of goods, some restaurants, restaurants, green buildings have also begun to settle down here.

In the middle of these shops, two huge stone lions are placed at the door, the eight vermilion gates still show a different majesty from other places, and the soldiers standing upright in two rows stand solemnly on both sides of the gate, which is the garrison of Tianqi Pass.

Walk into the gate, bypass the wall, you can see quite a military style building, simple, tall, strong and durable, the courtyard of three in and three out is slightly modified and arranged, you can turn into a fortress, high sentry tower, the guards look down on the whole courtyard.

From time to time, there are soldiers hanging waist knives patrolling by, and the military discipline is strict, and it can also be seen from this point that Hou Dayong, the general of the garrison, is also a rare good general, although there is no possibility of fighting, but these personal soldiers of his still maintain the demeanor that soldiers should have.

Hou Dayong is just over forty this year, as a general who has not fought a war, he has been promoted to this position above this year's chronicle, he has been stationed in Tianqi Pass for many years, starting from a captain, step by step to the position of garrison, Tianqi Pass is his blessed land, here, he not only realized his ideals, but also married a wife and had children, branches, a beautiful and lovely, gentle and quiet wife, and a son and a daughter are smart and lovely, all of which makes him feel very satisfied, very happy, life is so, What more could you ask for?
