Puzhou is the Hedong region closest to Guanzhong a state, but also from the east of the river into the most important passage in Guanzhong, Pujin Pass is the connection between the Qin and Jin Dynasty between the Xiong and dangerous pass, as early as the Warring States Period, Qin in order to seek the Hedong region, then built the Pujin Bridge on the Yellow River outside the Pujin Pass, it is actually a pontoon bridge built by ships, after the Han Dynasty, here became the transportation hub from the capital Chang'an to the east of the Yellow River, the salt, iron and so on in the east of the river are the indispensable materials of the Beijing Division.

Due to the influence of Pujin Pass and Pujin Bridge, Puzhou City, which is only 30 miles away from Pujin Bridge, has also become very prosperous, and is one of the six major cities in the world.

Therefore, the capture of Puzhou and Pujin Pass is a key step in whether Yang Liang can seize Guanzhong and the capital, according to Pei Wen'an's proposal, Yang Liang should take advantage of the opportunity that the capital army is too late to assemble, with a lightning speed to seize Puzhou and Pujin Pass, the army rushed straight to Guanzhong, and stationed troops in a few days.

Yang Liang also adopted this strategy, ordered Pei Wen'an to be the main general, led an army of 50,000 to march to Guanzhong, and ordered the generals Wang Dan and Su Dangui to be the vanguard of the left and right, and led 5,000 cavalry to march day and night to capture Puzhou and Pujin Pass.

Yang Ying also knew the importance of Puzhou and Pujin Pass, and after he ascended the throne, he immediately sent Qiu He, the general of the Right Military Guard, to serve as the assassin of Puzhou, and led 3,000 troops to defend Puzhou and Pujin Pass.

In the evening of this day, the afterglow shrouded the earth, smeared Puzhou City with a layer of red blood, the soldiers of Puzhou City patrolled back and forth at the head of the city as usual, checking pedestrians at the gate, the city gate was about to close, the merchants and vegetable farmers inside and outside the city were seizing the last time to enter and exit the city, making the city gate become particularly lively, at this time, a sound of horses' hooves and the sound of cars from far and near. It attracted the attention of the defenders of the city.

By the afterglow, you can see hundreds of women wearing hats on the official road, Tianwu Dynasty hat is a bamboo hat around the veil, also called a hat skirt, can be long or short, the long one covers the whole body, the short one is only shoulder to neck, these hundreds of women in white skirts wear long hats and skirts. Wrap your body and face tightly.

The appearance of so many young women attracted everyone's attention, and many frivolous soldiers couldn't help but whistle, and when these hundreds of women approached the city bridge, more than a dozen soldiers immediately stepped forward to stop them, "Who is it?"

A eunuch urged him to step forward. Leng Ran said: "This is a woman from the Han Palace, who has been sent back to Beijing, and you must not stop her." ”

Hearing that it was the palace people of the King of Han, the soldiers did not dare to slack off, and looked back at the city together, and an officer on duty at the city had already heard the news, and he watched for a long time, and saw that they did not bring anything superfluous. Thinking that it should not be a big problem, he ordered: "Check the carriage!"

The soldiers opened the doors of several carriages, checked them, and replied loudly: "The carriages are full of clothes, and there are a few sick palace people, and there are no dangerous items."

The officer nodded, then waved his order: "You can enter the city!"

Hundreds of palace maids began to enter the city one after another, and the merchants and pedestrians in the city mound withdrew one after another. Let the road to the palace maids enter the city, ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to see the palace maids, pedestrians have surrounded, although the palace maid's hat and skirt cover the face and body tightly, but can not block a pair of fiery eyes.

The vast majority of the hundreds of palace maids entered the city mound, and at this moment, an accident suddenly happened. The palace maids drew their swords and bows from under their skirts, and killed the defenders by the city gate, and the screams suddenly rang out。。。。。。

The soldiers defending the city were stunned by the sudden change, and when the hats of several palace maids fell off, their fierce faces and armor appeared. The soldiers immediately reacted.

"The enemy is coming!"

The siren sounded, the north gate was in chaos, and the heroes of the rivers and lakes who had been bought by Yang Liang in advance in the city also started at the same time, and they set fire everywhere to help the chaos, at this moment, the sound of the horse's hooves of the cavalry in the distance came like muffled thunder, and for a moment, I saw the dust flying, and thousands of cavalry were overwhelmingly killed.

Puzhou City could not close the city gate, and in a moment, the cavalry team like a sharp sword entered Puzhou City。。。。。。。

。。。。。。。。。。

At night, it rained lightly, and the streets were sparsely populated, and occasionally a few foraging wild cats chased and ran around the corner, and a horse-drawn carriage came at a high speed, scaring the wild cats into running in all directions, and the carriage rushed across the street corner, and then disappeared into the dreary rainy night.

In the carriage, Wang Hao couldn't hide the anxious look on his face, he had just received the news that Yang Liang's vanguard army had captured Puzhou and Pujin Bridge, and Pei Wenan had led tens of thousands of troops to the south, aiming directly at Guanzhong, it was obvious that Yang Liang wanted to seize the capital with a surprise battle.

In Wang Cheng and Xiao Maha's plan to restore the country, preventing Yang Liang from seizing the capital is undoubtedly the most critical link, they hope to form a situation where the two emperors stand side by side, they have the opportunity to go south to restore the country, no matter what, Wang Cheng must stop Yang Lang's plan to seize Guanzhong.

The carriage stopped in front of the governor's mansion through the rain and fog, and a guard ran down the steps and asked, "Wang is still here so late to join the army!"

"Has Your Highness rested?"

"It doesn't seem to be, His Highness has been resting late for the past two days. ”

"Inform Your Highness for me, and say that I have urgent matters to see. ”

。。。。。。。

In the study, the news of the seizure of Puzhou and Pujin Bridge made Yang Liang overjoyed, and he couldn't bear the inner movement, and kept walking back and forth in the room, sometimes sitting down, sometimes standing up and walking a few steps.

He seemed to have a scene in his mind that he was most looking forward to, Yang Ying was naked, with a national seal around his neck, leading hundreds of officials to kneel in front of his horse, begging him to spare his life with tears, at that moment, the whole world was trembling under his feet, and the dream made Yang Liang very proud, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Your Highness, the Counselor King joins the army and urgently asks to see you!"

The report of the guards outside the door interrupted Yang Liang's sweet dream, which made him very annoyed, he was about to say no, but after another thought, he still suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, "Let him in!"

After a moment, Wang Hao walked into the study quickly under the leadership of the guards, and he gave a deep salute, "Humble Wang Gong see His Royal Highness!"

"Is there anything important that Wang joined the army so late?"

"Your Highness, I heard that Pei Wen'an has led the elite main force to kill Guanzhong, and I have come to resign to Your Highness. ”

Yang Liang was stunned, and said for a while: Why do you want to resign?"

"The minister wanted to save his life and resigned and returned to his hometown. ”

Yang Liang stared at Wang Fei for a moment, he already understood Wang Fei's intention, he was here to persuade himself.

"Wang joins the army, please sit down! If you have any different opinions, please do not use the word 'resignation' lightly. ”

Wang Fei was not polite, he sat down and said bluntly: "Your Highness's move is to sneak attack the capital, to seize the capital in a few days, and to calm the world, I don't know if this is Pei Wen'an's suggestion, if it is his suggestion, His Highness's great cause will be destroyed in his hands." ”

"Does Wang Senjun think this plan is inappropriate?"

"It's not proper, it's very inappropriate, Pei Wen'an thinks about the problem too simply, he is a ninth-rate gambler, and he puts His Royal Highness's net worth and splendid career on top of his inferior gambling skills, so how can he not be in a hurry?"

A maid V brought two cups of tea, Yang Liang took the teacup and took a sip slowly, and asked, "You say, what's wrong? Where is it simple?"

"The lowly office only asks three questions, and if His Highness thinks that he can deal with it, then the lowly office has nothing to say. ”

"Say it!"

Wang Hao took a deep breath and said: "There are still 100,000 elite guards and 50,000 elite forbidden troops in Guanzhong, as well as 30,000 state soldiers from various states, a total of 180,000 troops, commanded by Yang Chudao, who has experienced a hundred battles.

Yang Liang's face changed slightly, and Wang Yan continued: "Even if Yang is mediocre and defeated by Pei Wen'an's gambling skills, and finally it is a siege battle, the high walls of the capital city are thick, and there are many soldiers and food, and it cannot be taken unless the 300,000 elite army cannot be taken, His Royal Highness will inevitably lead the army in person, if His Highness's army goes, then the state is empty, there is Daizhou Li Jing in the north, and Youzhou Li Xiong in the east, who will resist them?"

"There is a third problem with the humble position, if His Royal Highness's army gathers in Guanzhong, and the state is lost, and the Pujin Pass is broken, Yang Ying calls for the king of the world with the orthodoxy of the imperial court, and how sure is His Highness to seize the throne?"

The three questions were all sharp, and Yang Liang was speechless, and he also realized that he was gambling, and it was a very risky gamble, once he bet, he couldn't stop, and in the end, even his life would be pressed.

After a while, he sighed and said, "Then in the opinion of joining the army, what should I do?" ”

Wang Hao saw that Yang Liang had been moved, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, since ancient times, the establishment of hegemony has been to stabilize the foundation first, and then try to develop, and the state has jurisdiction over fifty-two states, and only nineteen states are willing to follow His Highness to start things, so His Royal Highness's top priority is to really control the state and stabilize his own foundation, instead of rushing to seize the capital, Your Highness, accumulate soil into mountains, wind and rain;

Yang Liang was already completely convinced, he walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and then turned back and asked: "Then according to the intention of joining the army, I will consolidate the first step and merge the state, where to start?"

Wang Hao said with a smile: "In fact, most of the places in Bingzhou are undecided, and there are many people who are watching, Your Highness can kill the Jing Monkey, start with Daizhou, which has the most fierce resistance, take Daizhou, kill Li Jing, and other states are naturally afraid of submission." ”

Yang Liang finally made up his mind, "Then according to what Mr. said, stop attacking Guanzhong." ”

。。。。。。

Yang Liang after swinging between the offensive and defensive factions, and finally chose the defensive faction, he ordered the general Su Dangui to demolish the Pujin Yellow River pontoon bridge, and recalled Pei Wen'an, giving up the plan of secretly attacking the capital, at this time, Pei Wen'an's army was less than thirty miles away from Pujin Pass, I heard that the pontoon bridge was destroyed, I couldn't help but make Pei Wen'an sigh, Yang Liang's rebellion was unpopular, only a quick battle had a chance, but he gave up the quick war, the general trend has gone.

Yang Liang firmly believed in Wang Yong's strategy, named Qiao Zhongkui as the pillar country, and led 30,000 elite soldiers to attack Daizhou.
