Chapter 460: Rejecting the North Pass

Yanzhou, refusing to Beiguan.

This place was originally the gateway between Dagan and Northern Wei. With this pass, Dagan and 300,000 border troops were blocked from the Northern Wei for four hundred years, and the Northern Wei has only been established for 420 years.

The terrain of Jubeiguan is steep, and a huge mountain range is like a natural chasm, lying across between Yanzhou and Liangzhou. Wherever you see, the peaks and steep cliffs are seen.

There is only a two-meter-wide mountain road, which is circling and rugged. It can pass through the mountains and enter Yanzhou. The mountains and rocks are steep on the east and west sides of the mountain road, and it is difficult for swallows to cross. If you work, you can handle the pass at the top of the small road, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

There is a mountain city behind the pass, which is built according to the mountain. It has two gates in the south and north. The city walls are all stacked with huge bricks, passing through geese through clouds, with majestic temperament, with dense pheasants on the walls and beacons echoing each other from afar.

Even if the enemy outside captures the pass, they will be blocked by this mountain city.

The ancestors of Ganren would never have thought that the defensive fortress that once used a lot of manpower and material resources had now fallen into the hands of the Wei people and became a prosperous transit station, with a large number of caravans passing by here every day.

As the general who guarded the place, Xiao You lived a very comfortable life. All the caravans passing by here would be scraped off a layer of oil. Not only the merchants, but even the officials of the Wei Kingdom were unable to escape. With the reputation of the Xiao family of the Northern Wei Dynasty, they were all good, and were known as "Three-Foot Xiao".

Rumble ~

On this day, outside the Beiguan, the sound of horse hooves was like rolling thunder in the sky, from far to near, rolling up the sky of loess on the plains under the mountains.

The soldiers on the wall quickly discovered the situation and ran into the city tower, then the door that was originally opened slowly closed.

After one stick of incense.

"Open the door!"

The cavalry outside the gate was like a long green dragon, stretching from the foot of the mountain to the foot of the mountain without seeing the end.

"What are you doing?"

A sound came from the wall.

"You are blind. We are the imperial envoys from Xu Jing. We want to see your general!"

"What certificate is there!"

"The certificate is me, and the imperial edict in my hand. Why don't you open the door quickly!"

Sima also held the imperial edict in his hand and stepped forward.

The captain on the top of the city immediately recognized the Lord Sima, his face changed slightly, and he quickly asked someone to inform Xiao You, and he led someone to open and close the door to greet him.

"I don't know that the angels are coming, I hope to forgive my sins!"

"Take me to the General's Mansion!"

"This is my duty, I am a lieutenant, and I am a lieutenant on duty. I must not leave my post without permission."

"You want to disobey?"

Sima Yi's eyes were cold and his other hand was held on the sword at his waist.

"I dare not, I will lead the way for the adults immediately!"

The captain secretly complained that the other party was an imperial envoy holding an imperial edict. Even if he was chopped, he had nowhere to seek justice. So he quickly brought a war horse and led a team of personal soldiers ahead.

Sima also brought the eight thousand cavalry behind him into the pass.

The rolling iron cavalry rushed past the gate and towards the Guancheng ahead, with a huge momentum.

Refuse the North City and guard the General's Mansion.

Xiao You was having a meal at this time, and the huge round table was filled with various delicacies. Four maids were holding ivory-sharpened chopsticks to serve each other closely.

After listening to the report from his subordinates, a trace of doubt appeared on his round face, "Imperial envoy? Why is there no news at all? Also, how many people do you think Sima also leads an army?"

"Report to the general, because there are too many people and there is no sight at all, and it is estimated that more than 10,000 cavalrymen!"

"What!"

Xiao You suddenly stood up, "What did Sima Yi bring so many people to do? Something was wrong. I immediately ordered that only Sima Yi and Wubai Guards be allowed to come in!"

"General, it's too late. They have entered the pass, and they are probably outside the city at this moment!"

"waste!"

Xiao You was furious and kicked the person who reported the news to the ground, "So many people came at once, you are so brave, just put them in like this! Whoever is on duty today should be killed! People come!"

As he said that, Xiao You hurriedly walked outside and ordered to the person who came over hearing the sound: "Tell me the order and close the city gate!"

However, before Xiao You's men arrived, Sima Yi had already entered the city with his cavalry first. The rolling iron cavalry kept passing through the city gate like a green torrent, attracting the people around him to watch.

The pioneer cavalry protected Sima Yi and broke into the guard general's mansion.

"Where is Xiao You? Come and receive the order quickly!"

Sima Yi stood in the front hall and shouted loudly.

Then I saw a fat man as fat as a ball and rolling out from inside with a large group of people.

"Sir Sima, you are a rare guest. I brought so many soldiers to my house. Those who don't know would think you are going to confiscate my house."

Xiao You looked at Sima Yi and said sarcastically.

Sima was the confidant of Emperor Wei. The two were not from the same place, so they didn't need to be polite. As soon as they finished speaking, a large number of soldiers rushed into the door. These were garrisons stationed in the north city. The originally spacious front hall of the mansion suddenly became crowded.

Sima Yi glanced coldly at the surroundings, raised the imperial edict in his hand and said, "Xiao You received the edict!"

Xiao You stared at the yellow imperial edict in a uncertain manner and knelt down slowly. In addition to Sima Yi, the people around him also knelt down as soon as possible.

The content of the imperial edict is very simple, which is to remove Xiao You from his post as a general in custody and return to Beijing to wait for his post.

"impossible!"

Xiao You's heart jumped and he suddenly stood up, his face as heavy as water.

"Xiao You, you don't want to resist the order, do you?"

Sima also said coldly.

Xiao You looked at the imperial edict in front of him and struggled. In order to get the position of the general guarding the Beiguan, their room spent a lot of money and favors. It has only been a long time since his butt was about to be taken away before he could even sit in the hot spot. How could he be willing to do so?

However, the order was to behead him, and Sima also led his troops into the city. His intentions were ulterior motives, so it was better to give in temporarily and pass on the news to the palace to see if he could deal with it.

After making up his mind, Xiao You knelt down again and took the imperial edict with both hands, "I will receive the imperial edict!"

"Before the arrival of the new garrison general, I will take over here from Beiguan for the time being. Please hand over the affairs as soon as possible."

After saying that, Sima Yi walked into the front hall and sat down. It seemed that he planned to stay here today.

Xiao You clenched his fists and silently turned back to the backyard. The guardian General's Mansion was not a private mansion. Now that he has been demoted, he naturally cannot continue to live here.

Not long after, a large number of soldiers and servants began to carry furniture and salutes. After moving for two hours, almost emptied the entire General's Mansion. Moreover, after Xiao You left the General's Mansion, he did not leave immediately, but occupied a mansion in the city and lived in it.

Sima ignored this, but kept dispatching troops and arranged Wang Tieniu and others in the city and pass places.

As night fell, Xiao You held a banquet and hosted a banquet for the generals and schools from Beiguan. The entire mansion was brightly lit and very lively.

"Sir Sima, Xiao You doesn't seem to be planning to leave. Keeping him is definitely a disaster. It's better to find an opportunity to kill him."

In the general's mansion, Sima Yi was also discussing matters within the pass with Gongsun Zhi, Wang Tieniu and others.

Sima Yi shook his head, "It's not appropriate. Xiao You is a clan of the Xiao family leader. Once the action fails, the consequences will be unimaginable. I'll find a way to let him leave."

Although the soldiers stationed in Jubei Pass now only have 30,000 troops, many of the 30,000 people are in public, and many of the officers are from the Xiao family. Once they are not controlled well, they will cause mutiny, which will not be worth the loss.
