Song Sheng found that Zhu Gaoxu was really bad, and it was his fault that he didn't arrest Ping An in the first place.

Then he compromised and put himself safe in Hanzhong, which was even more wrong.

No one expected Zhu Gaoxu to be so shameless, after more than half a year, at the most critical juncture, this news broke out, which caused Zhu Di to be suspicious and change generals on the spot.

Everything is in Zhu Gaoxu's calculations.

It's a wrong step, a wrong step.

Song Sheng regrets it now, knowing that he fell for Zhu Gaoxu.

He knew that Zhu Di was treacherous and untrustworthy, but he didn't expect Zhu Gaoxu to be like this.

Wait, Zhu Gaoxu didn't seem to promise him not to blow up this matter?

“。。” Song Sheng thought about it carefully, it seemed that he had not had any agreement with Zhu Gaoxu, and he was talking to him at that time.

Ping An didn't say that he wouldn't blow up this matter in the future.

I really want to blame it, I can only blame myself for not thinking about it at the time.

If he thought that Zhu Gaoxu would do this later, Song Sheng would not let him go into Hanzhong safely.

Song Sheng is a lot old, and he was still tricked by Zhu Gaoxu, he was really angry and half dead.

And Zhang Wu's yin and yang weird tone made him even more ashamed.

"Grandpa, my grandson doesn't want to go back to Beijing, can my grandson go back to Liangzhou?" Song Jing was dissatisfied at this time.

Of course, he knew what the consequences would be if he returned to Beijing, and if Song Sheng demoted Zhu Gaoxu in the future, Zhu Di would kill them all.

Fuji Ju also said: "Why don't you take the little boy back to Liangzhou?" How do they want to fight, let them go? ”

Tengju was also angry and didn't want to guard the pass with Zhang Wuzhen.

"Bastard, do you want to resist?" Song Sheng said angrily.

Song Changbao also said angrily: "My eldest brother has fallen in the battle of Zhongjiang, how many more people will die for the Song family to seize the emperor for their Zhu Ming?" ”

Song Jing's father died in the battle of Lingbi, and Song Changfeng fell in the Battle of Zhongjiang, Song Changbao was really angry.

This is a bit rebellious, and he also called out the word Zhu Ming.

Song Sheng's frightened soul flew out of the sky, he hurriedly turned back, fortunately there was no one around, just a few of them.

He hurriedly said, "You two shut up. ”

Hurry away with a few people.

Several people on the road didn't speak, and Song Changbao and Song Jing obviously didn't want to go back to Beijing.

Song Sheng thought about it quickly in his mind, and finally said to Fuji Ju: "You bring some two hundred people tomorrow, escort them back to Beijing with the little eunuch, and after arriving in Beijing, if you want to stay, stay in Beijing, and if you don't want to, take two hundred people back to Liangzhou, and wait for the results of the battle here." ”

After that, he took a deep look at Fujiju.

Song Sheng knew that Teng Ju had a good relationship with Qu Neng in the Jingjing, and he must not be willing to serve the imperial court now.

This has been said obviously, allowing the vine to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and after sending it back to Beijing, you can go to Liangzhou and wait.

Fujiju sighed secretly after hearing this, and then nodded emphatically.

Song Changbao and Song Jing were quite dissatisfied when they heard that they still wanted the two of them to go back.

Song Jing was directly angry and turned to leave.

Song Changbao hurriedly caught up.

"Old general, the two major generals seem to be unhappy." Fujiju said helplessly.

"Watch them tomorrow, don't let them run around, there are too many children of the Song family in the Jingshi." Song Sheng sighed.

"Whoa."

Song Jing was leaving quickly, and Song Changbao followed him closely.

Song Jing was young and vigorous, and he was already very dissatisfied with the imperial court in his heart.

Zhu Di asked them to return to Beijing twice, obviously taking them hostage and persecuting Song Sheng.

"Uncle Changbao, if we return to Beijing, Guanzhong will be defeated in the future, and the emperor will definitely punish my grandfather."

"I'll say something unfilial, it's okay if grandpa dies on the battlefield, but if he descends to the king of Han, the emperor will definitely punish our Song family."

Song Jing was very annoyed, his father had died in the battle for Emperor Jingnan, and now I still want to accompany the funeral?

Grandpa is worried about the other uncles and brothers in Jingshi, am I not a child of the Song family?

Song Changbao was deeply moved.

His only brother was lost in the Battle of Zhongjiang in Sichuan, and if he died again, their line would be finished.

Song Sheng is only worried about the children of the Song family in Jingshi, am I not a child of the Song family?

Neither of them wanted to return to Beijing.

But early the next morning, Fujiju came to the door with his own soldiers, as well as the accompanying little eunuch.

The two had no choice but to be forced to go on the road together.

The route they took was the same as when the little eunuch came, from the lower right corner of Shaanxi, one of the four major gateways of Guanzhong, Wuguan out, into Huguang, and then you can take a boat all the way to Jingshi, to Wuchang, all convenient.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at Wuguan, they heard a surprising news.

The rebels came from Huguang yesterday and are attacking Wuguan.

Fujiju wanted to turn around and detour from other directions in Henan, but Song Jing thought for a while and said, "We have two hundred elites, just to support Wuguan." ”

Song Changbao immediately responded.

Fuji Ju looked at the two of them, and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he nodded, and then looked at the little eunuch again: "What does Grandpa Chang think?" ”

The little eunuch knew about military affairs, and said with a sad face: "The slave and maid don't know either, the slave and the maid listen to a few generals." ”

So Song Jing smiled heartily and walked straight to Wuguan with more than two hundred elites.

They rescued Wuguan, they could stay here for as long as they wanted, as long as Wuguan was not broken, they didn't need to go back to Beijing.

Wuguan has a long history, far away in the Spring and Autumn Period to be built, the name is "Shao Xi Pass", the Warring States Period changed to "Wuguan", and Hangu Pass, Xiao Pass, Dasan Pass become "Qin's four stops".

It is also the origin of the four major portals in Guanzhong.

Wuguan is surrounded by mountains, there is Shangluo Mountain on the west side, and there is a cliff on the north side, the cliff is high and the valley is deep, narrow and difficult to walk.

The south is the absolute stream, the river outside the Guanwai is surrounded by east, west and south three sides, and the city pass is in the middle of the river.

Fujiju and his party can only pass from the north, only to find that it is very terrifying when they arrive at the scene, the mountain road is about three or four steps wide, only two or three people can walk in parallel, or walk a horse, one side is a mountain cliff, one side is a deep stream, a little careless, will fall into the deep valley.

But from the north, there is only one way.

Everyone climbed for about half an hour, and there were three war horses and a soldier in the middle, who accidentally stumbled and fell into the abyss, which made Fujiju and the others frightened and frightened.

Fortunately, half an hour later, I had faintly heard the sound of artillery in front, which was like a Hongwu cannon, which should not be the rebels.

Suddenly.

Whoosh, an arrow swept over Song Changbao's head in the distance, shot at the cliff and then fell.

"Stop?" Song Changbao looked up, and there was a valley mouth in front of him, about six steps wide, and it was full of sergeants.

It's really a man blocking the pass, and Song Changbao secretly praises it.

This entrance is only six steps wide, and only a few people can pass side by side, and when they come over, they can only have two or three people side by side at most, and if they sneak up from the north, it is almost impossible to take the Wuguan.

I heard that the rebels are coming from the east, and it seems that the east is more dangerous than the Qing officials here?

Song Changbao couldn't believe it, it was almost impossible for him to attack on his side, how could the rebels attack from the more precipitous east?

"I am the commander of the Liangzhou Guard, Teng Ju, on the order of the chief military officer, to escort the two Song generals back to Beijing, Yang Xiong is not there-" Teng Ju shouted loudly, and then introduced the eunuch.

This little eunuch had come through Wuguan before, so he quickly got up and greeted him.

The other side will first go back and report, because now the rebels are attacking the fortifications.

After a while, a thousand households appeared, and it was Yang Xiong, who was guarding the thousands of households.

Of course, Yang Xiong knew Fujiju, and he also knew Song Changbao and Song Jing, so he hurriedly let them in.

Yang Xiong said, the rebels suddenly appeared yesterday, and then began to prepare to attack the fortification, because Wuguan only has a road to the east, so they are attacking from the east.

"Take us to see, I will bring two hundred elites to help defend the city." Fuji Ju Road.

Yang Xiong didn't seem to be very happy, because Wuguan was easier to guard, but if there were many people, plus the vine gathering, each of them had horses, and this grain and grass were not enough.

He didn't snort, and turned around and led them to the city.

There were four ridges to the east of the city, which was the direction of the rebels' attack.

Among the four ridges, the widest one is only five steps, and the narrowest one is called 'Suspension Bridge Ridge', which is high and steep, and is known as "going up the mountain together, not allowed to ride together".

It was about a step wide, which meant that if you were on horseback, you could only walk one, the same as when they came up from the north.

History calls it "the southeast gateway of Guanzhong", and has the reputation of "Qin Pass One Hundred and Two" (with two enemies and one hundred).

It is said that during the Warring States period, the Qin soldiers were stationed at the Suspension Bridge Ridge, and the two of them held the attack of hundreds of Chu troops.

No way, the road is too narrow.

You don't have to say 200 people, even 20,000 people, and you can only go up one by one.

And the defenders of Lingkou can stand two people.

So you go up one by one, and two people are guarding, one attacking you on the plate, one attacking you on the lower road, and the last one dies.

Teng Ju, Song Jing, and Song Changbao came to the gate of the city, only to see that the southeast side of the distance was shouting and killing, and the rebels were divided into two roads and were moving forward.

After a few glances, Tengju looked at Chengguan, he also came for the first time, Wuguan is rectangular, about 1000 steps from east to west, 500 steps from north to south, rammed earth slabs, about two feet high (8 meters), thick more than one zhang (3.4 meters). There is a gate in the east, west and south respectively, which is a coupon hole for bricks and stones, and there is a city tower on it.

They had come from the north, and there was a mountain road that led to the west gate.

Yang Xiong stretched out his hand and said: "There is Drawbridge Ridge over there, and the road is very narrow, so the rebels dare not attack." ”

"Their main force came up from Hengyu Ridge, and others were climbing Longkunling - those rebels seem to be very good at climbing mountains, and the speed is so fast, Longkunling can't hold it, and I have asked my brother to retreat to the city."

Fuji Ju immediately said: "I heard that there are a large number of Tusi soldiers in the Han Dynasty's army, these Tusi soldiers are good at climbing mountains, their movements are sensitive, and they can also use hidden weapons, so be careful." ”

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the city?" Song Changbao suddenly asked at this time.

Yang Xiong said: "More than two thousand. ”

"What about the rebels?"

"There's no end in sight, at least tens of thousands."

"Xunyang has been breached?" Fujiju couldn't believe it,

In ancient times, there was a poem that said, "Wuguan closes Qinzhong with one palm, and Xiangyun Jianghuai Road is not passable".

Wuguan is an important gateway to the southeast of Shaanxi, and is the link between the ancient capital of Chang'an and Jingxiang and Wuyue, and the rebels appear under the city of Wuguan, proving that Xunyang has been breached.

Yang Xiong could only smile bitterly, this is obvious.

Fuji Ju said strangely: "The rebels broke through Xunyang and didn't go to Xiangyang?" Come to fight Wuguan? ”

According to his understanding, the rebels should first help Hanwanghu to fight the vast battle and go to Xiangyang, but he didn't expect to come to Guanzhong first.

Song Jing's face turned red: "Once the martial pass is broken, the pass will be lost." ”

Qu Neng in the southwest is eyeing the tiger, and marches into Guanzhong at any time, if the Wuguan is broken, let the rebels come in, and attack on both sides, Zhang Wu and Song Sheng in Guanzhong will be finished.

If Guanzhong falls into the hands of King Han again, even Beiping will not be safe at that time.

From Guanzhong, you can directly enter Shanxi and Henan, and the soldiers and horses of the Han King can enter Beiping (Hebei) and Beijing at any time.

Fuji Ju gasped, and finally understood: "King Han wants to copy even His Majesty's hometown (Beiping) together." ”
