Huling Pass, located in the east of Danyang County, at the junction of Ye and Qi.

Once Ye Qi starts a war, Huling Pass and a radius of dozens of miles outside the pass will definitely be the first battlefield.

Huling Pass is located in the middle of the sky of Wohu Ridge, with cliffs on both sides.

Someone once said that one level can be a million teachers.

Some people also said that if there were no 300,000 tigers and wolves, there would be no idea of fighting Huling Pass.

This is enough to show that the terrain of this Huling Pass is steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It is ridiculous to say that the place of Huling Pass was once built by the Ming Wu Empire to prevent the northwestern nomads from advancing eastward, but now it is used on its own people.

Ye was the latest among the vassal states, located in the northwest border, the country was lacking in materials, and its territory bordered by powerful countries such as the Later Song, Later Jin, and Qi states, as well as Gumo and many nomads in the desert, so that peace seemed to have become a luxury in the past two hundred years.

Now that the war is breaking out again, there is a tense atmosphere in Huling Pass from top to bottom.

Since half a month ago, Ye Guo has closed the border gate and is not allowed to enter.

"It doesn't take a month for the war to begin. ”

A middle-aged armor soldier who was in charge of guarding the inner city gate sighed and leaned against the city gate and said.

"It's not good to fight, I came to be a soldier just to fight. ”

A younger armorer next to him asked excitedly, "Captain Wu, have you ever been on the battlefield?"

"I, what's so good about fighting, it's better to spend more time with my wife and children. ”

The middle-aged armor soldier sighed and said, "To be honest with you, I haven't been on the battlefield at all for so many years, and I have never experienced a battle in the battle array. ”

"It's just that many years ago, I saw the scene of the confrontation between the Northwest Chu army and the cavalry of the desert nomadic tribe from afar. ”

"Only that time, I was almost scared to pee my pants, because it was really going to die on the battlefield......"

"What's that, it's not necessarily me who died anyway. ”

The young soldier said nonchalantly: "When the time comes, I will cut off a few more Qi dogs' heads and go to the captain to exchange for military merits, and when I have saved enough money, I will go home and marry a wife." ”

"Think beautifully, and cut off a few Qi dogs' heads, so that you don't get scared to pee your pants at that time. ”

Wu Chang raised his hand and patted the young soldier's head, and said, "You remember to me that life is more important than anything else. ”

"But if there is really that day, you have the good fortune to become an official, don't forget that you are a soldier brought out by my Wu Laosan, and remember to bring two jars of good wine when I go to the grave......"

Although Wu Chang's words have the meaning of greed for life and fear of death, why is he not ready to die on the battlefield at any time?

Ye has less than 1.5 million households, less than 6 million people, but nearly 400,000 soldiers, what does this mean?

It represents that every household in Ye has at least one person in the army.

They are not just fighting for their country, but for their families.

Ye country is still martial, Ye people also have a martial style, in the war, the army has always been to the number of heads brought back by the soldiers after the war to judge the meritorious reward, the more heads, the greater the merit, and so on to accumulate to a certain extent you can get the title of reward.

In the law of the Ye Kingdom, civilians cannot be officials, and only after obtaining the title can they be qualified and have the opportunity to get an official status, so even if they are civil officials in the Ye Kingdom, they can also carry a sword to kill the enemy.

"Hey, that's natural. ”

The young armor soldier smiled, and then glanced at the man who had been standing on the official road for a long time and had been looking at the west in a daze, and couldn't help but ask: "Wu Chang, what did you say that person was doing, why is it so strange?"

Wu Chang followed the young armor's gaze and saw the man, then turned his head to look at the young armor and said, "Stand at your post well, why is there so much nonsense." ”

At this time, the man came to his senses and walked towards the city gate.

When he was about to approach the city gate, the captain raised his weapon and stopped him: "Brother, this is a special period, and you are not allowed to enter the customs without a way to clear the customs." ”

"Yes. ”

The man replied softly, then reached into his arms, took a path from his pocket and handed it to the commander.

Wu Chang opened the guide, took a cursory glance, and handed it to the young armor soldier beside him.

This is not Wu Changtuo, mainly because he has never read a book, he can't read a single big word, and he can't understand it if he is given it.

The young soldier had read the book for a few years: "Chu Yujia...... From Danyang-gun, Anyuan ......"

This person is not someone else, it is Chu Yujia.

Wu Chang nodded, and then asked, "Are you planning to get out of the customs?"

"Yes. ”

"What are you going for?"

"Pick up someone. ”

"Pick up someone?"

Wu Chang sneered and said: "Little brother, I told you just now, this is a special period, don't blame me for not reminding you, less than fifty miles outside the pass is the Qi State military camp, I don't know how many scouts patrol every day, if you go out like this, I'm afraid you won't live for a quarter of an hour." ”

Chu Yujia didn't speak.

The young armor soldier handed the road back to Chu Yujia and said, "Brother, our Wu Commander didn't tell a lie, you still don't go out, go home, the world is not peaceful now." ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

Chu Yujia smiled slightly, and then swept past the two armor soldiers and entered the Huling Pass.

Looking at the back of Chu Yujia leaving, Wu Chang took a sip: "What's the matter, I still think that I am an invincible general in the world, when I see it, who will collect your body when you meet a scout from Qi State." ”

"Okay, Captain Wu, you just don't say a few words, it's not good for you to curse people like this. ”

"What's wrong, I'm telling the truth, he went to Qi Country at this time, isn't he looking for death?"

"I think he'll come back alive. ”

The eyes of the young armor soldier flashed with a strange brilliance, and he muttered in his mouth, "Chu Yujia...... Chu Yujia...... Yu Jia...... Chu ......"

Because of the road guide, Chu Yujia did not encounter any obstruction at Huling Pass, and he successfully got out of Huling Pass.

The men on the head of the city looked at the men who were going all the way east, and there was a strange look on their faces.

Twenty miles east of Huling Pass is already within the territory of Qi State, although Qi State has not really declared war on Ye State now, but many things are tacit.

As a Ye person, going to Qi at this time is no different from looking for death.

Therefore, the Ye State Caravan and the Dart Bureau have long since broken off their contacts with the Qi State.

They really couldn't understand what this man thought, and he actually went to Qi Country at this time.

This time, against the Ye State, the Qi State was fully prepared, and the 200,000 infantry army and 50,000 cavalry troops gathered in a huge camp fifty miles outside the Huling Pass.

The leading general of the Qi army is named Dou Jiankai, who is the proud protégé of Ling Run, the general of Qi, and showed his commanding talent when the alliance between Ye and the Later Jin Dynasty attacked Qi.

In Qingxi County, Dou Jiankai led his troops against Wang Anbei, the general of the Later Jin Dynasty, and everyone knew that this was a war that could only be won and not lost.

If he wins, the Later Jin will inevitably withdraw to the country, and he can also free up his hands to deal with the Ye State that has already invaded Anjun.

But if he loses, the Later Jin Dynasty will inevitably drive straight into the capital Ningxing, and when the time comes, the only thing waiting for Qi will be the word "Dead Country".

Wang Anbei didn't expect that Qi would send a hairy boy to fight against him, when even if he ordered to open the formation to attack the border city of Hexincheng between the two countries, it took less than three hours, the defenders of Hexincheng were defeated, and Wang Anbei's banner was planted on the head of Hexincheng.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Anbei waved his army north, all the way like a bamboo, and occupied half of the territory of Qingxi County in half a month, until he attacked Fengshanfu, the county seat of Qingxi County, he encountered some resistance.

Wang Anbei no longer took this hairy young general in his eyes, and ordered a strong attack for three days but never reached the top of the city, and it was only on the fourth day that he entered the city.

Just when Wang Anbei thought that he was about to occupy the entire territory of Qingxi County, a cavalry of the Qi army suddenly appeared, attacked the granary in the rear, and burned all the grain and grass of the army.

Then there was a report from Tanmalai, Hexin City, which had been occupied by the Later Jin Dynasty, was broken by a sudden Qi army, and not only that, but even Xinglong City, which had been controlled by the Later Jin Dynasty, was also occupied by the Qi army.

Wang Anbei is a veteran of Rongma's career for decades, and when he heard the news, he already knew that he had been fooled.

The other party obviously deliberately lured his own side deep into the territory of Qi State, cutting off his own retreat and food and grass supplies when his siege was in full swing.

The so-called soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, which can already explain the importance of grain and grass, but at this time, it was too late to regret it, and Wang Anbei could only withdraw his troops to attack the two border cities.

But at this time, the Qi army was already fully prepared, and the rolling wood and stones defending the city had already filled the streets, and the grain and grass carried by the Jin soldiers in the future would only take half a month, and they would die without a fight.

Wang Anbei didn't want to rob the people of Qi in the past, but Dou Jiankai, who had already calculated this, asked the people to withdraw with all the money, soft grain and grass materials when he came up with this strategy.

As a result, Wang Anbei, a veteran who has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, failed to break through these two cities in half a month.

At that time, Dou Jiankai suddenly led the troops to kill, and the Later Jin soldiers on Wang Anbei's side were so hungry that they couldn't lift their guns and spears, and they were almost defeated without the power to fight back.

Wang Anbei was captured alive in the chaotic army and scolded Dou Jian.

Dou Jiankai laughed at this, and it was also because of this war that the Ye army that entered Anjun fell into a lonely situation, and then the encirclement of Qi gradually formed, leaving 100,000 Ye troops in Qi forever.

Now that the State of Qi is obviously preparing for a second national war with the State of Ye, letting Dou Jiankai be the leading general is also the importance that the King of Qi attaches to him.

At this time, Dou Jiankai was in the Chinese military tent, looking at the map hanging in the center in a daze.

Several military advisors chattered behind him.

"According to me, our grain and grass materials are placed in Cangyang Mansion, where is the county seat of Anjun, the garrison is absolutely first-class, and it is impossible for the Ye army to succeed in a sneak attack. ”

"Placed in such a conspicuous position, isn't it obvious to tell Ye Jun where our grain and grass are, only a fool would come up with such an idea. ”

"Hey, who do you say is the fool?"

"Tell me about you!"

If the two strategists disagree, they will fight.

And Dou Jiankai turned a blind eye to this, and looked at the topographic map by himself.

If you want to mobilize troops against Ye now, it is inevitable that you will not be able to do it without perfect preparation.

The princes and nations are the same, if you want to fight, you can only fight a war to destroy the country, and if you don't destroy the other country's country directly, you will fall into endless trouble.

But it is not so easy to destroy a country that has been in shape for hundreds of years.
