With the great victory of the Western Expedition and the entry into Chang'an, Gao Huan swept away the hatred accumulated in his heart for many years, and it can be regarded as completely washing away the shame of three years ago.

It's a pity that all the grain and treasures in the treasury can be taken away by Yuwentai, and those that can't be taken away are also burned by a fire, and most of the people in the city have fled, and only a few people stay to watch, which is no different from getting an empty city.

But this is Chang'an after all, even if the remaining population is not as large as a small city in Kanto, its significance is extraordinary.

After Gao Huan entered Chang'an, he immediately assigned manpower, led by Xue Guyan and Hu Luping to lead 30,000 troops to take Lantian first, and then take Wuguan; Pan Le and Hu Luxian led 30,000 troops from Pingqin County (Baoji) to the north to attack Xiaoguan; He also sent Hu Luguang and Hu Luqiang to lead 50,000 foot soldiers to Dasanguan to support Gao Cheng, although Wei Xiaokuan and Li Yuan did not have the right to command the army, they were also arranged to go west with the army and serve as Gao Cheng's staff.

At this time, Gao Cheng's messenger asking for help was still on his way to Chang'an.

There are four stops in Guanzhong, namely Wuguan, Xiaoguan, Tongguan and Dasanguan.

Wuguan is located between the narrow mountain road from Lantian Pass to Nanyang Basin.

Xiaoguan is located in the northwest direction of the Guanzhong Plain, between Liupan Mountain and Yunmeng Mountain, near the source of the Jing River, the mountain range and the river valley intersect, the terrain is narrow and dangerous, and it is an important pass to guard the northwest passage.

Needless to say, Dasanguan can go to Longshan Qinzhou to the west, and extend the upper reaches of the Jialing River to the south to meander until Hanzhong, which is the main road at the throat.

However, Guanzhong leads to Hanzhong is not just this road, the more famous one has a total of five passages, which are distributed from west to east along the main peak of the Qinling Mountains, namely Qishan Road, Chencang Road, Baochuan Road, Fu Luo Road, and Meridian Road.

Among the five roads of the Qinling Mountains, the Chencang Road and the Bao Slope Road which are also river valleys are the most convenient, which can accommodate the army to pass through, and the Chencang Road is the Chencang Road from the south of the Dasan Pass.

The Fu Luo Road and the Meridian Road are steep mountains along the way, and the passage and supply are the most difficult.

Zhuge Wuhou went out of Qishan Mountain and took the Qishan Road, Chencang Road, and Baochuan Road on the west side, while Wei Yan presented the so-called Meridian Valley Scheme, but at the same time as the main force of the army went to the west, he led the cavalry to take the easternmost meridian road with the worst road conditions.

Tongguan is the only pass that fell into the hands of Gao's four stoppers in Guanzhong, in addition, Gao Huan had the intention to withdraw Xitong Pass, Gao's center of gravity in the case of Guandong, and added an additional Xitong Pass between Guanxi and Guandong, which is not conducive to rule.

Poor Yuwentai tightened his belt and worked hard to build it, but now it is going to be demolished.

Gao Huan took the time to meet with the righteous Eastern Wei soldiers, and appeased the soldiers.

Lao Gao Wang was also from the bottom, and he knew best what these soldiers were looking forward to, and promised on the spot that they would return to the army and continue to enjoy the treatment of mid-term soldiers as full-time soldiers.

Immediately won the soldiers to shout 'King Gao's longevity', the momentum of the mountain shouting tsunami, and those who didn't know thought that He Liuhun had ascended the throne in Chang'an.

Of course, everyone understands that taking down the Gao clan in Guanzhong is not far from being called the emperor and usurping the country.

To their status, if you advance, you will be the Son of Heaven, and if you retreat, you will be exterminated, and the annexation of Guanzhong will also meet the conditions of the immortal merit of usurping the country.

It's just that Gao Huan himself has no intention of usurping the throne, as he said before, no matter whether he wins or loses this battle, after returning to his master, he will hand over power to Gao Cheng, raise his grandson and godson, and enjoy the joy of family.

Moreover, Gao Cheng's various plans in this battle also allowed Gao Huan to transfer power with confidence, after all, his body knew best.

But now that Guanzhong has been annexed, it should be celebrated no matter what, Gao Huan held a banquet in Chang'an, regardless of his body and the generals drank every day, and even recruited Hu Lujin to have fun, and he came to Chang'an with 30,000 Xianbei soldiers stationed in Yubi, after all, below Guanzhong, Yubi is no longer as important as it was at the beginning.

And the replacement of Hu Lujin to guard the jade city is Wang Sizheng who has not laid the foundation in Weibei to build the city, Weibei construction is just a means for Gao Huan to force Yuwentai to fight a decisive battle, and now that the war has been understood, there is naturally no need to spend manpower and material resources to build the city again.

Gao Huan even released the 100,000 people who participated in the construction of the city in advance, so that they could bring the good news back to all parts of the Kanto, and at the same time deter people with different intentions, so that the Kanto region would not be in turmoil because the father and son were in the Guanzhong.

Now when you return to Kanto, you don't need to go to Pusaka, you can go straight out of Tongguan and go to Hengnong, which is much more convenient.

Gao Huan, who was intoxicated with wine singing and dancing, did not forget to send someone to control Yu Jin's family scroll, waiting for Gao Cheng to come back and send it.

Gao Cheng's disposal of the Jin family scroll is more to win the hearts of Wei Xiaokuan and Li Yuan, and Gao Huan, as a father, will naturally not overstep his bounds.

The father and son have been partners for many years, and this tacit understanding still exists, just as there is no need for Gao Cheng's notice, Gao Huan sent 50,000 foot riders to Dasanguan to support.

When Xue Guyan and Hu Luping led an army of 30,000 to Lantian Pass, Hu Lvguang, Hu Lv Qiangju and other talents were separated from Pan Le and Hu Lvxian who attacked Xiao Pass in Pingqin County (Baoji), all the way to the southwest, all the way to the northwest to the Jinghe Valley Road.

The news of the victory of the Eastern Wei Dynasty outside the Xitong Pass had already spread to Lantian Pass, and when it was learned that Yuwentai had retreated west and the Gao clan had entered Chang'an, the nearly 1,000 defenders in Lantian Pass had already been panicked.

I also heard that the 30,000 troops of the Eastern Wei Dynasty had arrived, and in the absence of reinforcements from outside, the guards did not hesitate much, and immediately switched and asked to surrender, Xue Guyan and Hu Luping did not take a break, and sent some soldiers to stay in Lantian Pass.

And the defenders of Wuguan did not do much resistance, after all, the east is the south of the Eastern Wei River, and the west side of the pass is also in the hands of the Gao family, they are trapped in Wuguan, there is no point.

Moreover, most of the soldiers defending the eastern passes such as Lantian Pass, Wuguan Pass, and Xitong Pass were civilian men who were temporarily conscripted into the army, and they did not have much combat effectiveness.

The Eastern Front was frequently victorious, and unlike this kind of marching to receive the results, the Western Front was in a bitter battle.

Although Yuwentai only left 4,000 foot soldiers for Li Hu, plus the original 1,000-man garrison, it was only 5,000 people, but the city of Dasanguan was strong, the terrain was dangerous, and because the family scroll was in Longshan behind the pass, the soldiers' fighting spirit was even higher, and it would be a strange thing if they could easily capture it.

Gao Cheng allocated a large number of people to drive the people back to Guanzhong, which was actually the main reason why the siege was not smooth this time.

On the other hand, after resting in Qinzhou, Yuwentai mobilized the army and people of Longxi to reinforce Dasanguan, and at the same time, he led the remaining main force of the Sixth Army with a total of 20,000 steps to ride south along Chencang Road, hoping to attack Hanzhong before the Hanzhong defenders learned the results of the battle in Guanzhong.

The reason why he insisted on entering Shu was precisely because Yuwentai knew that Longshan was difficult to defend, and Hou Mo Chen Yue was easily destroyed by himself when he guarded Longshan.

However, Bashu is different, it is the country of abundance, the water and soil are fertile, and there are lofty mountains and mountains outside, and the Shu road is difficult to walk.

Now it coincides with the emptiness of the army in Shuzhong, and the foundation given to him by God is far better than the broken pass.

When Xiao Ji went north, Yuwentai also knew a lot about the situation in Bashu, although Shuzhong resumed production under his governance, but the majority of the population was still the bureaucrats, this time there were a large number of bureaucrats among the 50,000 Shu soldiers who went north.

Now that he has lost 50,000 living forces, Shu has been hit hard again, Yuwentai doesn't want to repeat the days of Guanzhong, he is fed up with the population shortage.

The reason why Yuwentai had to retreat to Longshan first was that resting was actually only one aspect, and more importantly, he had the intention to move the people of Longxi to Shudi.

Gao Cheng could guess that Yuwentai was trying to enter Shu, but in any case, he couldn't imagine that the other party was holding back his strength to engage in a large population migration.

History has changed beyond recognition, and he must be able to know everything in advance, and know everything like a god, unless he opened the light to his brain when he traveled.

He is smart and smart, but he is by no means like Zhuge Wuhou in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he is a wise and demonic existence.

Of course, if Zhang Shiqi is asked to write a book "Romance of the Later Three Kingdoms", maybe he can really create a character image of 'long and thick and pseudo, wise and close to demons'.

As for the so-called lustful and suspicious, all the Spring and Autumn brushwork.

In the interval between commanding the army to attack the city, Gao Cheng glanced back at Zhang Shiqi behind him, and said secretly:

With Zhang Shiqi's history, it is estimated that he will not be able to play the Spring and Autumn penmanship, after all, he has always recorded truthfully and never deceived. ’

This is called talking too much, and deceiving yourself.

Although Yuwentai sent troops to support, the Eastern Wei offensive was too strong, and Li Hu still held on to the city of Dasanguan, and even went to the front line to fight.

With Gao Cheng's life-sparing temperament, he naturally couldn't do such a thing, Li Hu's move was not useless, with him boosting morale, the defenders of Dasanguan resisted a wave of offensives, and the Eastern Wei siege army retreated like a tide after Gao Cheng instructed Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Li Hu had already lost his strength, and he turned around and looked south, hoping that Yuwentai could capture Hanzhong earlier.

Unlike the empty Shu land, there is a large army stationed in Hanzhong, and it is precisely because of Hanzhong as a barrier that Xiao Yan did not transfer troops to Shuzhong, after all, he had to launch an offensive on the eastern front before, and how could he have the spare strength to enrich the armament of Shu.

Due to the lack of news, Hanzhong still does not know the situation of the battle in Guanzhong, although there is a large army stationed, but because of the friendly relations between the Western Wei and the Southern Liang, there has been no war for many years, and the defense can be called lax.

After all, not many people could have thought that Yuwentai, who had lost the battle in Guanzhong, would put his mind on his allies, and even the Hanzhong defenders didn't know that Yuwentai had been defeated.

When Lan Qin, the general who followed Xiao Ji north, crossed the mountains and mountains alone and arrived in Hanzhong, he happened to witness Hou Mo Chen Zhen and Wei Chi Zhen as the vanguard to attack the city gate, and the follow-up army poured in.

Seeing that the Western Wei Dynasty betrayed the alliance, and thought of the imperial court's assistance to Yuwentai over the years, and even sent 50,000 troops to participate in the war to support, even his son Lan Jingjing was trapped in Guanzhong, but he was afraid that he would be taken prisoner.

Lan Qin was so angry that a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he almost passed out, Yuwentai got Hanzhong, and the next step was bound to enter Shu, and now his way back was blocked, and he didn't know where to go, all blame the two Wei for destroying the Buddha now, otherwise maybe he could learn from Chen Qingzhi to shave his hair and pretend to be a monk and escape back to Nanliang.

But Lan Qin is still preparing to return to Southern Liang through the territory of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, at least few people in the Eastern Wei Dynasty know his appearance and identity, unlike the Western Wei Dynasty, who followed Xiao Ji in and out of various occasions during this time, and he has long been familiar with his face.

Speaking of Yuwentai, after successfully capturing Hanzhong, he continued to lead the army to the south on the one hand, and on the other hand, he sent people back to Longxi, migrated the people to the south, and then the Longxi garrison guarded Hanzhong.

As for the way of relocating people, he didn't have much intention, that is, all kinds of slander and rumors about the father and son of the Gao family, what kind of exploitation of trust, harsh government and reluctance to tigers, what kind of indiscriminate killing, tyrannical and cruel people.

In their mouths, Xiao Gao Wang is the kind of person who meets a child eating maltose on the road, and has to grab the sugar and stuff it in his mouth, and then cook the child to eat, and his character image has long been demonized.

Due to the interaction of Yuwentai's various smear propaganda and the Eastern Wei Dynasty cavalry trampling on the seedlings every year, in the eyes of the people of the Western Wei Dynasty, the Gao family father and son did not do anything anthropomorphic.

There was no need for coercion from the Western Wei soldiers, and a large number of people in Longxi voluntarily accompanied them, just like the grand occasion when they were evacuated from Guanzhong.

Therefore, the name of a person and the shadow of a tree still need to correctly guide public opinion.

Perhaps it was because he had been fighting with King Xiaogao for a long time, and Yuwentai also learned a little bit of yin damage, such as when he moved the people of Longshan, he also sent an envoy to Tuyuhun to give the land of Longxi, so as to cause a conflict between the Eastern Wei Dynasty and Tuyuhun.

This is a big pit, but the key is whether Tuyuhun Khan can resist the temptation.

As for entering Shu, Yu Wentai knew that the most important thing was the speed of the march, and he should enter Shu before the news leaked.

Yuwentai continued to send Hou Mo Chen Zhen and Wei Chi Hui and the vanguard, from the Sword Pavilion into Shu, because the military strength in Shu was withdrawn, and then the passes for many years, the defense was lax, so the Western Wei army along the way was like a bamboo, rushing into Shu in one fell swoop.

Tongzhou, an important town in the north of Shudi, soon fell, and Hou Mo Chen Zhen and Wei Chi Yu easily approached Chengdu.

Chengdu is undoubtedly a heroic city, but once it is approached by the enemy, few can hold on, just like Liu Zhang descended to Liu Bei and Liu Chan descended to Deng Ai during the Three Kingdoms.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Cheng Han regime was strong, but there was a providence in the dark, and the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty mistakenly hit the advance drum, so the three armies were able to break the enemy, and Huan Wen also pacified Shu.

This time, Chengdu still failed to hold on, but the defenders can't be blamed, it is indeed a lack of soldiers and major generals, and the Western Wei army is besieging on all sides, so how can I take care of it.

After seizing Chengdu, Yuwentai immediately ordered people to move all the people into Shu, left Yuwen to protect 5,000 people to defend Chengdu, and personally led 15,000 people to ride eastward to capture Chuzhou, which is now Chongqing.

Chuzhou is the gateway to Bashu, and Yuwentai's plan is very clear, close the door first, and then go to encroach on Shunan.

Not to mention the reaction of Nanliang, with Xue Guyan and Hu Luping seizing Lantian Pass and Wuguan, soon, after a bloody battle, Pan Le and Hu Luxian also took Xiao Pass.

Only Gao Cheng was left to eat soil in front of the Great Dispersion Pass, after all, the difficulty was different, and Yuwentai didn't want to go over to guard Xiao Pass.

However, under the strong attack for several days, although there were many casualties among the soldiers, a breakthrough was in sight.

Li Hu was already physically and mentally exhausted at this time, seeing that the people of Longxi and the soldiers' family scrolls were moving south, and in a dark night when he couldn't see his fingers, he led the soldiers defending the city to flee in the snow.

Waiting for the next morning, Gao Cheng organized the army to attack the city again, and Dasanguan was already empty.

After the Eastern Wei soldiers took control of the city defense, Gao Cheng finally entered the Dasan Pass, and he knew that Yuwentai must have entered Shu, otherwise Li Hu would not have left.

But I never expected that the entire land of Longxi has been gone without a trace, there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles, Yuwentai left a vacant land for himself, except for some old, weak, sick and disabled people who really can't go, or can't take care of the deep mountains and old forests, the rest of the people of Longxi were all moved away by him, not to mention what materials were left.

Tuyuhun Khan was originally bewitched by Yuwentai's envoy and wanted to go east, but later heard about the current situation in Longshan, and learned that Gao Cheng sent troops everywhere to seize important passes, and finally suppressed his ambition with great difficulty, and sent people to contact the Eastern Wei Dynasty to reaffirm the friendship between the two countries.

Gao Cheng naturally received the Tuyuhun envoy very warmly, and now is not the time to use troops against Tuyuhun.

The task at this stage is to migrate the people, not only to alleviate the contradictions between people and land in the Kanto region, but also to enrich the Guanlong area, and at the same time to recuperate and recuperate, and then make plans.

Although this battle captured Guanlong, but because Yuwentai emptied the Chang'an treasury and moved a large number of people, he left only a piece of white land for Gao Cheng in Longxi, in fact, the financial deficit caused by this expedition is difficult to fill, at least in the future, it cannot be looked south.

However, Yuwentai played yin and wanted Tuyuhun to block himself, so King Xiao Gao naturally wanted to return him a gift.

Gao Cheng was ready to ease the relationship with Nanliang, letting them know that the Gao clan was unwilling to use troops again for a short time, so it was up to Xiao Yan to take advantage of this time to advance westward and recapture Shu.

However, with his understanding of Xiao Yan, he is afraid that the other party will have to take care of the overall situation.

Xiao Yan is old, but he is not dazed, and it is one thing to be unenterprising, which does not mean that he can't see the current situation clearly.

During the Three Kingdoms, Eastern Wu attacked Jingzhou, and Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and others repeatedly asked Liu Bei not to attack Wu, which has its own reason.

The Nanliang court estimated that there was no shortage of people who knew the situation in the world.

Now the Eastern Wei Dynasty has the northern land, although the Guanzhong is broken, but the population of the Eastern Dynasty, a few more years of recuperation, I am afraid that the momentum will be better than the Northern Wei Dynasty, after all, the Gao family is now in the rising period.

But why not give it a try, Gao Cheng made up his mind to send Wen Zisheng to make Jiankang again, it didn't work out, at most, let Wen Zisheng run for a trip, if the matter was done, Yuwentai and Xiao Yan would fight, and he Gao Cheng would be able to take advantage of the fisherman.

Seeing that Longxi had been decided, and Tuyuhun had no sign of going east, Gao Cheng was also preparing to return to Chang'an, so he immediately made arrangements for Longxi, temporarily leaving the general Dou Tai to lead 10,000 cavalry to garrison.

And Gao Cheng, the guard of the Dasan Pass, intended to transfer Wang Sizheng to defend the city, or his father-in-law used to rest assured, the reason why Wei Xiaokuan was not used was that Gao Cheng had discussed with Gao Huan before, and did not place the surrender in Guanxi.

After all, it is only newly attached, and loyalty needs to be tested.

In that discussion, Gao Huan also mentioned his plan to leave Jinyang and stay in Chang'an.

In the past, the reason why it sat in Jinyang was not only because it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also because it was more convenient for Jinyang to send troops to Guanzhong.

Now that Guanzhong has been captured, like the Jade City, the strategic importance of Jinyang has declined, and for the Gao clan at this time, it is obviously a more suitable choice for Gao Huan to move the base camp from Jinyang to Chang'an.

Gao Cheng left Hu Luguang to temporarily guard the Dasan Pass, waiting for Wang Sizheng to come to take over, and was about to return to the teacher, but unexpectedly got a bad news from Chang'an.
