Zhanyang Pass is also called Wu Pass or Wukou. The gate is more than three feet high, with cliffs on both sides, making it impassable. Thousands of troops can be stationed at the pass, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

At this time, Lin Jian'an, Han Yuheng, Gao Liang, Zhuge De, Zhu Jianheng and others were looking north from Guancheng.

The Ziwu Valley Road is winding and narrow, and you can go hundreds of miles north out of Ziguan to Jingzhao Mansion, and to the east you can reach Lin Jian'an's former home.

Traces of war smoke can be seen everywhere in the Ziwu Valley, especially the stone ground in front of the Shaoyang Pass. It is dark and gloomy, as if blood has penetrated into the stone. It is spring, and the mountains on both sides are full of flowers of various colors. The sun is shining, but it still cannot bring joy to everyone.

How much warmth comes.

After a while, Lin Jian'an looked at the crowd and said confidently: "Now that our brothers have come down from the mountain, this is the starting point for our great cause in Shanziying. Commander Jieh has ordered me to control Shaoyang Pass, so I trust him. Although he is the frontline of the anti-Hu army,

, we still have the Yongzi camp behind us, so we are safe and sound, but we can’t stop here, everything in the future needs to be arranged in advance.”

Everyone bowed and said yes.

"Brother Liang, all units in Shanziying need to rotate every six months. We are here to practice attacking and defending the city. We have all the equipment to defend the city. If there is any damage, the Han government will replenish it. Mr. Han needs to keep in touch with Shi Quan."

"Mr. Han, when I went to Nanzheng to get married at the beginning of the year, I talked with Jieshuai. The Han government is still very powerful. I think it is just waiting for the barbarians to attack and being trapped in a corner. Strategically, it is too passive. But Jieshuai

I don’t agree. What do you think?”

Han Yuheng thought for a while and objected: "Commander, we really do not have the strength to attack northward at the moment. The Han government is actually in a semi-independent state now and will not be able to get support from the Jianning court and Shuzhong. The Han government alone has less than 100,000 soldiers.

How can we accomplish anything with men, horses, and a population of millions?”

"Having said that, we can't do nothing. The past two years have been quite peaceful. I don't know about the soldiers below. This time I went to Nanzheng and met the battalion commanders and upper-level civil servants. I felt that most of them were arrogant and extravagant.

If you want to make progress, if this continues, how many years can the Han Mansion be defended?"

"That's what the commander said."

"This is what I think. We have controlled the passage to the north, and the people's livelihood in Guanzhong is gradually recovering. There will be many wealthy landowners who have no time to escape and surrender to the Hu people to protect their wealth. The conditions are met. Zhu Jianheng can lead the scouts to go north to Guanzhong, lurking gradually

, open the way with gold and silver, spread out informants, win over the big families, and prepare for rainy days. In addition, we have just joined the Han Dynasty and have not made any achievements. If we want to expand our power, how can we increase our prestige without military merit? Others are not convinced. Where does the military merit come from? Yongling now has another

There are no bandits to suppress, so we can only fight the war with the barbarians. If we have a long-term spy in Guanzhong and the army's actions cannot be hidden from others, we can get the news in advance and formulate targeted plans."

At this point, Lin Jian'an turned to Zhuge De and said: "We have just arrived at Zhanyang Pass and are not familiar with the terrain of Ziwu Valley Road. Brother De, your northern expedition has a large number of people. In cooperation with Zhu Jianheng's scout team, they have chosen to plunder

At the same time as we are looking for a big family in Beijing, we also need to find out the Ziwu Valley, especially the area near the north and south exits. Where are the paths up the mountain? Where can we hide soldiers, horses, food and grass? Where can we set up an ambush? This is the most important thing for us now. This time

In Nanzheng, under the guidance of Commander Jie, I also learned a lot. I don’t know when the barbarians will come, but war is by no means a child’s play. The more and more detailed preparations are made before the battle, the more confident we can win.

Everyone will do this from now on."

Since all Guan Guan were his trusted brothers, and the soldiers below were far away, what Lin Jianan said next seemed very bold: "Now our sphere of influence is in the northeastern area of ​​Han Mansion and Yongling. We will temporarily control other places."

We can't control it, but we must ensure absolute control of the existing territory. Shiquan behind us must also be captured. Cao Baojin, the general of Shenwu and the commander of the Yongzi Battalion, has an extraordinary relationship with me, and everyone knows each other. This matter will be handled by Mr. Han and I.

.Brother De, let’s not talk about the fact that your northern contingent already has a mission. The eastern contingent will march eastward to the Central Plains as soon as possible to find lootable targets and large households that can be contacted. The southern contingent must ensure the passage to central Sichuan. The only way is west.

By detachment, I mean that you make unified arrangements to go down the mountain and find a way to join the army and enter the major camps. The candidates must be reliable. Li Yang can cooperate with you in this matter to prepare for future emergencies."

Lin Jian'an finally said: "Qingfeng Mountain will be our confidant now and even for a long time in the future. We cannot give up. No matter how the situation changes, it will be our last support. Of course, if we can completely occupy Han Mansion and even

Guanzhong, that’s another story. All the family members above the corps commander of Shanzi Camp have settled in Qingfeng Mountain to ensure safety.”

After Lin Jianan arranged everything, he hurriedly took Gao Liang and Han Yuheng back to Qingfeng Mountain, not for anything else but because Deng Chan was pregnant. This was a major event in Lin Jianan's life, and for Qingfeng who had great ambitions

Going up and down the mountain was a big deal, and it was also crucial to the implementation of the Han government's plan. Nan Zheng had already sent a letter to take Deng Chan back to raise her baby, so Lin Jian'an rushed back to Qingfeng Mountain to see her.

Deng Chan sat quietly by the window, but kept staring out the window.

Not far from the window, in the courtyard, Dafu was taking Lin Jianyue and Zhang Yiyun to practice axe.

Although the ax in his hand was only made of wood by Dafu, he was still playing happily, as if he was already a martial arts master and a powerful general.

Deng Chan had a smile on her face, and she was surrounded by people waiting on her. Deng Chan had to maintain everyone's demeanor.

But looking at Lin Jianyue's happy appearance, I felt a wave of disgust in my heart. Although it wasn't to the point where I wanted him to die immediately, it was still so uncomfortable. Many people don't want others to share their favorite people or things.

And Deng Chan is very strange. Lin Jianyue is not so pretty, fresh and handsome, but he seems to have a natural affinity that makes everyone love him from the bottom of their hearts. People in Qingfeng Mountain respect her very much, just because

She is Lin Jian'an's wife, not because of herself. She is incomparable to Lin Jianyue.

Lin Jian'an and his younger brother are no longer like ordinary brothers, but more like a father and son to a certain extent.

She was not pregnant for a long time and had not yet shown her pregnancy. Deng Chan could not help but touch her belly and pray for a son. After having a son, Brother Jian'an would no longer pay attention to his younger brother as before. He would only care more about his biological son.

No more worries.

However, it is still not safe, and you still need to prepare other aspects.

Deng Chan was born in a high-ranking official family like the Deng family. She has been exposed to it since she was a child. She has seen and heard about many intrigues in big families and has no shortage of experience in this area. She has also experienced intrigues in the world, not to mention the lack of such experience.
