In Gao Cheng's nervous and eager lookout, the city gate was slowly pulled up.

The distance was too far for Gao Cheng to see clearly, but there was a sentry riding and galloping:

"The three generals have taken the city!"

When Gao Cheng heard this, his tightly held heart finally relaxed, and he puffed up his breath and shouted:

"Pass on my military order, the whole army will march, break through the pass and capture the city!"

Under Gao Cheng's military order, the various departments trotted towards Tongguan.

Even Gao Cheng himself ventured to walk the path of the Wuli Secret Gate, climbed up to Lintoe Plateau himself, and saw only Gao Jishi with a scar, but he couldn't see Hu Luguang and Duan Shao.

Gao Cheng's heart was raised again, and the subordinates poured into the city, Gao Cheng walked quickly to the exhausted Gao Ji Shi, and asked:

"Is there any big deal with Zitong? Why did you lose Xiaoxian and Mingyue? ”

After Gao Ji's fight, he was sweating, he had already sobered up, and when he saw Gao Cheng coming over, he was about to salute, but before he got up, the trauma on his body hurt so much that he frowned.

"Sit down and talk."

Gao Cheng hurriedly stopped him, turned back and shouted to the guards:

"Go and call the healer."

Gao Jishi endured the pain and replied:

"It's just a little injury, it's just a loss of strength, rest meeting, filial piety and Mingyue went to take the city wall behind."

Gao Cheng knew that nothing had happened to them, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

The first city wall has been taken down, and Gao Cheng has a certain number in his heart, the defenders of Tongguan are now tired and frightened, how can the soldiers who have broken down from the first city wall still be able to hold the next few roads.

accompanied Zhu Hunyuan at the city gate to receive treatment from the doctor.

As Low Cheng expected, before Gao Cheng, Qiao Lunxi, Murong Shaozong and other elite new forces joined, they attacked and broke through Tong Pass overnight.

After all, it was the Tongguan garrison Xiaogan who gave me that opportunity, if there were no reinforcements in the pass to set up an ambush at the secret gate outside the seven, it would take a lot of effort for Low Cheng to climb down the Lintoe Plateau.

Tongguan in history has undergone several changes, and the Hantong Pass will be abandoned in another half a century.

It's not that the city is strong, but in the Sui Dynasty, due to the rain washing, a new passage will appear on the Lintoe Plateau where Tongguan is located due to the collapse, and it will not be able to bypass Tongguan and go straight into Guanzhong.

So in the Sui Dynasty, the Tongguan was moved to the landslide and continued to guard the pass.

And in the Tang Dynasty, because the Yellow River cut up, the water level dropped, exposed a part of the river beach, the carriage and horses entered the pass from then on need to pass through the Lintoe Plateau, can not go directly to the river beach, so Tongguan moved from the Lintoe Plateau to the river beach.

The abandonment of Hangu Pass is also for the same reason, the water level of the Yellow River fell in the Han Dynasty, resulting in the Hangu Pass being able to bypass the Hangu Pass under the mountain from the river beach, and there was no move to build Tongguan under the Lintoe Plateau in front.

Accompanied by Gao Huan, Hu Luguang, and Zhu Hunyuan, Low Cheng climbed down the Tongguan city wall and looked at the eastern and western parts of the country.

It is a feeling from the heart, no matter how steep the pass, there is also a way to resist the great power of the changes of mountains and rivers.

"They've worked hard."

Low Cheng turned back to the eight people and said:

"You have promised to break the Tong Pass, Hou above, Feng County Hou, that Xiongguan is the eight of them jointly captured for you, you will keep your promise."

Low Cheng looked at the eight people and called out one by one:

"Shangluo County Hou! Yongle County Hou! Chengshi County Hou! ”

The scarred Qiao Lun, Hu Luguang, and Zhu Hunyuan couldn't help but puff up their chests when they heard this, and their faces were proud.

Low Cheng smiled and encouraged:

"So you're unhappy? In the future, I will be the founder of the county, and it is not okay to be crowned king because of merit, so work hard. ”

Gao Huan and the others were short of breath.

Especially Gao Huan, the title of a county marquis has not made me happy to win, let alone the founding of the county prince, and even the king.

You need to know that his father Duan Rong is now only a county marquis.

It stands to reason that with Duan Rong's qualifications and Low Huan's trust in me, I am just a county marquis.

Even Ke Yu Wentai, who ran over, and Low Huan gave it to a county duke.

But it is not because of Low Huan's belief in Duan Rong that he occasionally left me to guard the front, such as the Battle of Guang'a and the Battle of Xiangzhou, Duan Rong defended Jizhou Xindu.

In the battle of Hanling and the capture of Shanxi, Duan Rong had to stay in Yecheng.

That was also the reason why Duan Rong's title was delayed in going down.

As for that county, he got it several times before staying.

Now that Gao Huan is on par with his father under the title, I also plan to let my half-brother inherit my father's title in the future, and I will be a county prince and a king by my own ability.

In that era when Qiao Lun was everywhere, a group of Hou Yuan must be sealed before Low Cheng established the country, such as his uncle Lou Zhao if he wanted to seal it? If your eldest uncle Wei Digan wants to be sealed?

Of course, the sister-in-law Wei Jing is a little sensitive.

But I have thought that Hou Yuan will be hereditary and replaced, and he will be demoted to the previous generation, and he will be given a duke, and the duke will be passed on with a small feeling.

After talking about the title and the reward, Low Cheng looked at Zhu Hunyuan and scolded angrily:

"You told you to be big-hearted, because in the future they will be your arms to rely on, if you break in Tongguan, you have that pass and there is nothing to be angry about. Zitong! Why did he turn a deaf ear to your admonitions? You made him cautious, but he took the city first! ”

Low Cheng only now knew about Zhu Hunyuan's first deeds, and others praised me for being brave, but I was shocked when I heard it.

The reason why the first achievement is important is not because its small sensibility is too low, and it is basically to leave that reward to the family.

The reckless man poured a few sips of wine, and actually cared about life and death.

Low Cheng loves my bravery, but if it's someone else, it's fine.

It's Zhu Hunyuan, who has been with me for a long time and has deep feelings, how can I reprimand him.

Zhu Hunyuan also felt that Low Cheng was really angry, and he confessed repeatedly.

Low Cheng was still angry, originally 8,000 pieces of cloth were to be distributed to eight people, but with a single mouth, Low Cheng wiped the 1,000 horses that Zhu Hunyuan should have in his hand, and Gao Huan and Hu Luguang each divided 1,700 horses.

When he came, he also admonished Qiao Lunxi:

"It will be brave, but Tongguan has help, sooner or later, it will be up, how can you take the risk first, that is the courage of a reckless man."

Zhu Hunyuan saw that Low Cheng's tone softened, and hurriedly responded, only saying that he must have fought for his life when it was a critical moment.

Before the eight of them left, Low Cheng called a personal guard and ordered me to go back to Luoyang to report the victory, and at the same time asked the steward of the Bohai Palace, who had accumulated a thousand silk cloths from the Yulu accumulated by his youth, to send them to Zhu Hunyuan's mansion.

The guards were ordered to go up to the city wall, beat their horses and slowly galloped to Luoyang to report the victory.

When the morning sun rose, Low Cheng, who had not slept all night, gathered the whole army in the pass, once again reaffirmed the promise he made to the soldiers, and told us that the capture of Tongguan was not rewarded.

For a time, in Tongguan, the sound of calling shook the sky.

A day before the men and horses under the command of Low Cheng rested in Tongguan, I mobilized the cavalry under my command, and the total number of cavalry was 7,000 without Qiao Lun, 700 Zhu Hun Yuan, 700 Qinwei cavalry, 1,000 Wuchuan cavalry, 1,000 cavalry from Keyu Wentai, and 1,000 cavalry from Qiao Lun, a total of 7,000 cavalry.

Among them, 8,000 people in the old part of Low Cheng rode one person and two horses, and the rest of Keyu Wentai and Gao Cheng were all one person and one horse.

Low Cheng handed over the 7,000 horsemen to Gao Huan and ordered me to take the grain to the forbidden ditch on the west side of Tongguan and retreat into the eastern part of the Guanzhong Plain.

Tell me that if there is a chance, it is a weak attack on the city, just burn the spring seedlings along the way, use the grain in your hand to induce, or use the blade to coerce the eastern people to move east.

Another intention is not to hope to put some pressure on Qiao Lunxi, and only when it is slowed down will there be flaws, which can be regarded as supporting Low Huan from the side.

The reason why Low Cheng did not take advantage of the victory to win Chang'an was because the state and county soldiers of Kansai gathered in Chang'an one after another.

After taking Tongguan, the spies who had been blocked in the past also re-contacted me, and knew a little information about the decisive battle between Gao Ji and Low Huan.

The eighth intention of sending Qiao Lun to lead the cavalry to attack and harass is that if Gao Jishi breaks through Low Huan north of Weishui, and does not have Gao Huan's horse to set foot on the Guanzhong Plain, I must also dare to take advantage of the situation to go east, otherwise once the way back is blocked, I will definitely be able to come back.

He also asked Murong Shaozong, Keyu Wentai, and Gao Cheng to garrison the forbidden ditch to respond.

He led the rest of the people to sit in Tongguan.

War is what it is, by all means.

The demeanor of a gentleman on the battlefield has not been eliminated by the times long before the advent of "The Art of War".

Qiao Lunxi temporarily knew that Low Cheng wanted to rob me of a small population, and even if he knew, there was nothing to do.

Now I am focusing all my energy on the decisive battle with Low Huan.

A sand garden between the Luo River and the Weishui.

Neither the low nor the high quarter-style sentinels had yet discovered each other's traces.

Both sides were unprepared, and on the side of Low Huan were nearly 1.81 million Xianbei and Qihu soldiers from the Eight Towns.

And the high-season style is the 80,000 elite infantry at the bottom of my box.

When the two sides set up camp and confronted each other, Gao Jishi's general Da Wangjue led eight cavalry to pretend to be Eastern Wei sentinels, and successfully retreated into the small camp of Low Huan to spy on intelligence.

Knowing the detailed information of Low Huan, there was a huge difference in the strength of the two sides, but Gao Jishi saw the laxity of the Eastern Wei army from it, and also understood the arrogance and importance of the opponent better.

For the confidence of that battle, Gao Ji style is more and more sufficient.

The messenger brought the news that Hengnong had withdrawn from Tongguan and Gao Jishi was also in charge.

I even expect Low Cheng to retreat to Chang'an, the state and county soldiers are gathering, and the garrison of Chang'an needs to worry, as long as he hits Low Huan, Low Cheng's attack on Chang'an will only be a dead end.

If he loses to Low Huan, this is a matter of whether Low Cheng retreats west to Chang'an and keeps it.

Now Gao Jishi's most worried low Cheng took the opportunity to burn and loot in the pass.

Infantry is needed to siege the city, but only cavalry is needed to destroy the acres of Guanzhong Tianmu.

This low wealth is stingy, and the cavalry is all one person and two horses, coming and going like the wind, and he really catches this guy.

And according to Gao Jishi's understanding of Low Cheng, I could really do this.

As soon as he thought of this, Qiao Lunxi was forbidden to hate secretly, if he had one less fine horse and set up an ambush in the pass, he would definitely be able to bite a piece of meat from Low Cheng.

But then he was relieved, if his own troops were sufficient, Low Cheng would dare to be so presumptuous.

Just as Gao Jishi was thinking about a strategy to break the enemy, in addition to the horseman who came back to report the news, King Da came back with the other two.

Instead, he wanted to stay lurking, but he was still wandering around the camp at night, and no matter what, he would be alert.

Dacholun brought back an important piece of information for Gao Jishi.

The first chapter is brought to, and there are two more chapters, both of which will be relatively late.

(End of chapter)
