In the year 229 of Daning, the Great Khan of the Northern Menghu Court died violently, and the new Great Khan was named Agula Siqin, who was only 28 years old.

Agoura Siqin was very knowledgeable and eloquent, and he was unusual since he was a child, so he was deeply loved by his grandfather, the first Great Khan of the unified steppe, the Dalai Lama, and set a position early. After the death of Agula Siqin's father, the previous Great Khan, he ascended to the throne without much killing.

Agoura Siqin admired Han culture since he was a child, and most of the teachers he invited were Han people who surrendered and learned, and he also gave himself a Chinese name Li Chongshan to show his admiration for Li Shimin, the heavenly khan of the Tang Dynasty. A few years ago, the Menghu court's policy of resting and recuperating was mostly instructed by Li Chongshan.

After several years of recuperation, Menghu's control over the occupied Han areas was greatly improved, and the national strength was somewhat stronger.

In 232 years of Daning, the Menghu court issued an edict to send 6 troops to attack the Daning Dynasty from the Central Plains and Guanzhong at the same time, intending to dominate the world.

In June, the sun was blazing in the sky.

Shayang Pass, Lin Jian'an took Han Yuheng, Gao Liang, Zhuge De and the commanders of the Shanzi Battalion to patrol back and forth, anxiously waiting for the latest news from the north.

The weather was very hot and stuffy, and everyone was sweating profusely, but the commander did not move on the city, and did not dare to propose to return to the camp to rest, and when he was about to stand it, he finally received a report from the scouts who hurried back from afar: "Hu Renmeng's commander Xi Ri Ba Ri, led more than 5,000 people as a partial division seven days ago, all of them are elite, and they have come out of Jingzhao to the meridian road, and more than 3,000 servants of the Han army are the rear to escort the baggage."

After getting the news, Lin Jian'an immediately returned to the camp with everyone to discuss.

"I have received a message from the marshal, this time the Guanzhong Menghu soldiers attacked the Han Mansion in three ways, with a total strength of about 120,000 people, the Guanzhong Marshal Su Hedai led the main force, 80,000 generals attacked Xiegu Road, and the deputy capital Marshal A Richa led 30,000 troops to feint to attack Chencang Road. The Meridian Dao is only a partial division, and the military strength is small, and the attack on the Meridian Dao is intended to contain the main force of the Han Dynasty. There are many passes along the meridian road, and it is difficult for the army to pass since ancient times, but if the army is sent to attack, it has to respond, once it is out of the shading pass guarded by us, it can not only threaten the heart of the Han Dynasty, but also cooperate with the main force to attack the main road of the valley. ”

After Lin Jian'an finished speaking, he patted Zhu Jianheng on the shoulder: "This time, Commander Zhu has made a meritorious service, and he has successfully passed on a message to the Hu scouts through Neiying, that is, the Meridian Road is only a unit that has just been adapted from bandits. Although Xi Ri Ba Ri is fierce, he will despise us and others, and he is eager to make meritorious contributions, and this gives us an opportunity to take advantage of it. ”

"This battle is the first battle of my Shanzi battalion, and it must be won, not only to win, but also to make a name for itself. I thought about it for many days, and I couldn't passively wait for the enemy to attack at the Shayang Pass. Although it has the advantage of waiting for work, it can't give full play to the advantages of my Shanzi battalion, so what is the difference between it and other battalions? ”

"In recent years, we have already figured out the terrain of the Meridian Road, what are our advantages? He is good at fighting in mountains and valleys, and his marching efficiency in the Meridian Road is much higher than that of other Zitou battalions, and higher than that of the Hu army. Our Shanzi battalion is many years of fighting, after these years of training, strict discipline, orders and prohibitions, everyone is skilled in bows and crossbows, to say a word of immodesty, our Shanzi battalion in the mountains to fight, one can fight 3, of course, the open area cavalry duel is another story. ”

"At present, the Wulang Pass in the Meridian Valley is still in the hands of the Hu people, and the defenders are only a few dozen people, who can transmit messages with beacon fire, and our disguised smuggling caravan is already familiar with them. Wulang Pass is about 300 miles away from us, I mean that tomorrow and Gao Liang, deputy commander, lead the whole battalion of more than 5,000 people without grain and grass, and all along the way have been prepared in advance. If you don't fight Wulang Pass, leave it to the Hu people to relax their vigilance for the time being, and the army secretly crosses the pass from the small roads on both sides to the canyon section of more than ten miles north of Wulang Pass, and sets up an ambush in the dense mountains and forests on the left and right, according to the speed of our march to calculate the time, when we arrive at the ambush site, the main force of Xiri Bari should still be in the Meridian Pass or dozens of miles south of the Meridian Pass, and there is still a day's journey to the ambush site. Ladies and gentlemen, this battle strives to annihilate the enemy's main force in one battle, and promote the prestige of our mountain character battalion, and I hope that everyone will work together. Commander Zhuge and Commander Zhu listen to orders! ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"The northern detachment and the scouts are merged, and Zhuge De is under unified command, and he will set off today to clear the road, and there will be no mercy when the enemy scouts are killed; Monitor the Gorou Pass garrison to avoid accidents; The scouts should go out to the Meridian Pass and inform the enemy's position at any time; The equipment, grain and grass stored along the way should be guarded; Arrange for guides who are familiar with the road to stay in the Chinese army for use. Have you written it all down? ”

"My subordinates understand!"

"The senior deputy commander immediately began to prepare for the whole army, and set off on time tomorrow."

"Obey!"

Lin Jian'an was not used to calling his former brothers by his position and name, but he knew he had to do so.

Seeing the former brothers' subordinates today coming out with excitement on their faces, Lin Jian'an only felt tired when he sat in the camp.

As a subordinate, you only need to obey orders and fight bravely to kill the enemy, but as the commander of an army, you can't, you have to consider all kinds of problems and have to bear all kinds of pressure.

Lin Jian'an knew that although he was calm and calm on his face, he was actually uneasy in his heart, this was his first time leading the army to fight, only God knows whether it will work or not, and only God knows what problems will arise in the process!

Deng Changxun and Cao Baojin both explained to him that they were waiting for the enemy at Shayang Pass, to ensure the safety of Shayang Pass, and left a thousand elite Yongzi battalions to assist in guarding the pass, if it were not for the comprehensive pressure of the army, and the Meridian Valley was not the main road, if it were not for the good performance of Lin Jian'an in Qingfeng Mountain to seize power, it would be difficult because Lin Jian'an was the first time to lead the army, and he would not be allowed to be the main general.

Lin Jian'an's style of play was already contrary to the will of the Han government, and if he failed, the consequences would be unpredictable.

But Lin Jian'an really doesn't want to do that, the fighter plane is in front of him, when will he get ahead step by step? This is necessary to make the plan a reality.

Han Yuheng wanted to oppose it, but it was also the first time for him to march and fight, and he couldn't say anything after listening to Lin Jian'an's reasons.

In addition, Lin Jian'an also thought that if he really failed, with the personal ability of the Shanzi Battalion in the Yongling Mountains, there would be no problem for many people to escape, and there were Han Yuheng and Yongzi Battalion to take over the Shayang Pass, and it would not be a big problem to defend the city with the steepness of the city, which was also one of the reasons why Lin Jian'an dared to take risks. Mountain bandits are always very adventurous.

A black dragon poured out of the Shayang Pass and spread to the north, with an astonishing momentum, and it was the Shanzi Camp that went out for the first time.

The clothing of the Shanzi camp is somewhat different from that of other battalions in the Han Dynasty, and the clothing and armor of the Han Mansion are mainly red, which is similar to the mainstream of the Daning Imperial Court. And the armor that the mountain battalion got when it was a bandit in the past was all black, because they all felt that the black momentum was the highest and most ruthless, and they didn't bother to change it because they were not used to it after being adapted to the mountain character battalion, and the Jiedu embassy did not force it.

Because of this, after the first battle of Meridian Dao, the Shanzi Battalion will become the black armor army that has changed color in Guanzhong.
