Tianxia Pass is in the north of Tongzhou, it is a lofty mountain range, there is a big road here in Tianxia Pass, and the rest are mountain paths, which are extremely steep, so this is the Xiongguan Pass in the world.

Great Wei deployed 10,000 people here, not because he didn't want to deploy more people, but because it was unnecessary, and it couldn't be spread if there were too many people, it was a waste of troops.

At this time, outside the pass is a dense military camp, the army of the king of Pingliao drove here from Beizhou, in addition to the 30,000 white-clothed army, there are some local garrisons accepted by the king of Pingliao, and forcibly conscripted young and strong soldiers, a total of 50,000 people, plus the people who were recruited, deceived into an army of 300,000.

The two sides fought fiercely for half a month, each with heavy casualties, and Tianxia Pass was still in the hands of Dawei at this time.

"Tianxia Pass is worthy of being one of the strongest passes in the world, if you really want to attack it hard, I'm afraid that our white-clothed army will not survive a few, my father, my son's ministers still suggest, take a detour, bypass this Tianxia Pass"

In the camp of the king of Pingliao, the prince Zheng Tai said to the king of Pingliao that he had a deep grudge against the Great Wei, he had been a proton in Yongdu City for more than ten years, and he had always been cautious, but not long ago, the court suddenly attacked him, and on the night of the breakthrough, he abandoned his wife and son and all the deployments, and even the uncle who saved him died in Yongdu City, and he was the only one who fled alone.

"Don't worry, we have to divide the troops, and we have to wait for the masters of the Liao State to come over, otherwise we lack masters to sit in the town, and it is easy to be raided by the masters of Great Wei."

King Pingliao replied, the three kings with different surnames are secretly cultivating masters, but their strength is indeed not as strong as the imperial court, there are only dozens of martial artists above the congenital, once the troops are divided, it is easy to be raided by the immortals of the imperial court asking the immortal pavilion, ordinary masters can't stop it at all, they have to wait for the masters of the Liao country to come over.

"Father, but will the master of the Tongtian Academy of the Liao Kingdom come, didn't the Xianmen say that they would not interfere in the dispute between mortals?"

"That is to say, the court also said that it will share the world with our Zheng family, who can control so much if it really fights"

King Pingliao sneered, Da Liao wants to annex Da Wei, how can it be possible not to use the power of immortals, he has not yet attacked Tianxia Pass with all his strength, he is just waiting for the people of Da Liao Tongtian Courtyard to come.

The Great Wei Wen Immortal Pavilion, the Great Liao Tongtian Courtyard, and the Great Xia Changshengtang are the organizations set up by the three major immortal sects in various countries, one is to recruit disciples and provide high-quality preparatory disciples for the immortal sect, and the other is to monitor the imperial court of the Three Kingdoms, and it is also the eyes and ears of the immortal sect to prevent other immortal sects from encroaching on the interests of this immortal sect.

The idea of the Immortal Gate is very good, the three Immortal Gates each occupy a country, and they do not attack each other, but how can they control the minds of the three thousands of people each.

Even the Xianmen are different in thought, such as the Xianmen of Daliao and Daxia, the immortal resources that they can find in the two countries together are not as many as the Dawei family, and they are extremely dissatisfied in their hearts, so they all support the expansion of the two countries, and there have been constant conflicts in the past few decades.

Now the Great Wei is cutting the domain, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the two countries, the king of Pingliao has taken refuge in the Great Liao, they have tens of thousands of more troops, and the Great Wei has tens of thousands of enemies, and they can eat at least two or more state capitals of the Great Wei in one breath.

"I don't know when Da Liao will come, the longer we spend here, the better prepared Da Wei will be."

"This matter is in a hurry, if the immortals don't make a move, it's normal to fight for a few years"

"Yes, Father"

"Tomorrow I will give you another battalion of soldiers, you learn to lead soldiers to fight"

King Pingliao said that he had given Zheng Tai two battalions of soldiers and horses before, and they had already died, but those were all miscellaneous soldiers, and they would not feel distressed if they died, nor would they affect their strength.

At the same time, on the wall of Tianxia Pass, the guards were also looking at the military camp outside the pass, and one of them said, "King Pingliao is worthy of being a master of the art of war, the camp is well organized, if you want to attack at night, I'm afraid it will be difficult, at most break a camp, and you can't hurt their muscles and bones."

"General, if we don't attack at night, we can only be beaten passively, although Tianxia Pass is stable, but I'm afraid it won't last long, the soldiers and horses from all over Tongzhou, in addition to guarding the rest of the passes, have gone to Tonghua City, and now the King of Pingliao doesn't know the truth, we have a chance"

Another general said that Tianxia Pass is a three-dimensional defensive Xiongguan, which is difficult to break, but no matter how powerful Xiongguan is, it also needs people to protect it, what King Pingliao doesn't know is that they don't have 10,000 people at all.

10,000 people is the number on the books, but they are actually less than 7,000 people, less than 3,000 people is very simple, just empty salary, of course, there are other reasons, that is, the military salary of the imperial court has also been deducted, the Great Wei court has been more than 60 years, the wind of corruption has been very strong, Tianxia Pass has a huge amount of money and military salaries every year, and it has never been enough.

Now the imperial court doesn't know how many of them there are, but as guards, they know very well that if the king of Pingliao continues to attack, he will soon know that they are false.

"General, I also agree to the night attack, in the past few days, the people and horses of the King of Pingliao are either recruited troops, or bandits or young and strong people, used to consume our fortifications, and the reinforcements from the imperial court will only set off, it will take at least twenty days to arrive, and I don't know how many can come."

"I'll think about it again, no need to say more"

The main general shook his head, did not immediately agree, he is very clear about the importance of Tianxia Pass, once Tianxia Pass is lost, the King of Pingliao will be with the Liao State in Tonghua City, at that time it doesn't matter if Tonghua City falls or not, they can send some people to stare at Tonghua City, the army goes south, and kills directly to Yongzhou, Yongzhou has no danger to defend, I'm afraid it can't resist the enemy.

······

The territory of Liao is more vast than that of Great Wei, there are more than 10,000 miles from east to west, and there are nearly 10,000 miles from the farthest point from north to south, but such a vast place, most of them are bitter cold land, and there are even quite a lot of barren land, how the minerals under the land do not know, but the population is extremely scarce.

The capital of Liao, Shengjing, is set in the south of Liao, less than five hundred miles away from the border, there is no way, the further north, the more sparse the population, the colder the winter, the nobles of the Liao State have the status and no longer want to go to the cold place to suffer, several times to move the capital, in the south of the capital.

Shengjing is the most populous city in Liao, and it is only five or six hundred thousand people, which is much worse than the one million in Yongdu City.

At this time, in the Shengjing Tongtian Courtyard, a group of masters were also arguing fiercely, and the masters of Tongtian Courtyard were divided into two factions, one was conservative, and the conservatives advocated that they would slowly encroach on the Great Wei, this time first take Beizhou and Tongzhou several prefectures, and then garrison the border, wait for the opportunity to change, and then go on the expedition.

The radicals believe that the time has come to destroy Wei, and now the rebellion of the three kings with different surnames within the Great Wei is a golden opportunity, and the Great Liao wants to raise the strength of the whole country to destroy the Great Wei.

The two factions quarreled inextricably, each with its own reasons, and the biggest reason for the conservatives was to guard against Great Xia, because over the years, Great Xia and the Liao State had fought one after another, and most of the wars were initiated by the Liao State.

The reason is still the same, the farther north it is, the colder it is, the more unsuitable it is to live, they need a warm place in the south to spend the winter, and Xianmen also hopes that they can have more territory and find more resources.

"Don't make any noise, the saint is here"

Suddenly, a person let out a loud roar, and the scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked up to see a middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume walking over.

"You all go down first, I'll talk to the dean"

Emperor Da Liao appeared and asked everyone to go down, and there were only two people walking in the hall, one was the emperor and the other was the dean of Tongtian Academy.

"Does the Emperor want an all-out war?"

"Yes"

"You've got to convince me"

"Well, there are five reasons for the Great Liao to wage war against the Great Wei in an all-round way, first, this is a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity, the Great Wei is at its peak, and it has always been stronger than my Great Liao, especially in the past few years of the Great Wei, the masters have emerged in endlessly, and now the three kings with different surnames have rebelled, and they have nearly 100,000 more enemies, which is the weakest time for the Great Wei.

Second, I have to fight in Daliao, the people of Daliao are poor, how much did the dean know about the heavy snow last winter, there are more than a million livestock in Daliao that froze to death, if you don't start a war with the outside world, the people will rebel, and the fight against Daxia is also a fight, why not fight Dawei.

Third, the Great Wei ·····"

The emperor said five reasons in a row, all of which were reasons why Da Liao had to go to war, the people of Da Liao were poorer than Da Wei, and the tribute of Da Liao to Xianmen every year was extremely stressful on them, if they did not seize the territory, where would the population go to mining and find treasures to give to Xianmen.

"Does the emperor know that once we send troops with all our might, will Great Xia take advantage of the weakness?"

"We can join forces with Great Xia to send troops"

"Will Da Xia agree?"

"It will definitely be, the Great Xia Emperor is eloquent, whether to send troops or not, it cannot be decided according to personal likes and dislikes, but from interests"

The emperor replied, when the emperor, if he doesn't have this bit of political literacy, he can't control the imperial court, and Daxia will definitely agree, because once the Liao State makes a move, the most dangerous thing is Dawei, and they can also bite off a piece of meat when they go up, such a big benefit, they can't see it.

"If you send troops, can you win?"

"I can't say for sure, but now the advantage is in my Da Liao, as long as the Tianxia Pass and Tonghua City are defeated, in addition to Yongdu City, the north is in Wujian City, the advantage is no longer there, let's talk about moving Da Xia, let them enter Wei from Xiliang, and Da Wei will suffer an unprecedented attack, and there is a high probability that they will lose the country, or lose all the state capitals in the north of Da Wei."

"The emperor should send someone to Great Xia, is there any news?"

"I haven't replied yet, but I don't think Daxia has any reason to refuse."

The emperor said, he really can't think of where Great Xia can have a reason to refuse, the national strength of Great Xia and Great Liao is not as good as Great Wei, at this time, if you don't bite Great Wei, when will you wait?

"Okay, if there's news from Daxia, then start a war"

"Dean, I want to make more preparations, transfer people to the front line first, if I can start a war, I will win the battle"

"Good"

In the end, the dean still agreed, if Da Liao could really swallow Da Wei, he could also make a great contribution, and he could be transferred back to Xianmen, instead of suffering here.
