In the year 229 of Daning, the Great Khan of the northern Menghu court died suddenly. The new Great Khan was named Agula Siqin, and he was only 28 years old.

Agula Siqin was knowledgeable and talented, and he was unusual since he was a child. Therefore, he was deeply loved by the Dalai Lama, the first great khan of the unified grassland, and decided to reserve the throne early. Agula Siqin's father also

After the death of the previous Great Khan, he ascended to the throne of Khan without much killing.

Agula Siqin has admired Han culture since he was a child, and most of the teachers he hired were surrendered and learned Han Chinese. He also gave himself the Chinese name Li Chongshan to show his respect for Li Shimin, the Tian Khan of the Tang Dynasty. A few years ago, the Menghu court

The policy of rest and recuperation mostly came from Li Chongshan’s instructions.

After several years of rest and recuperation, Menghu's control over the occupied Han areas has been greatly improved, and his national strength has grown.

In the year 232 of Daning, the Menghu court issued an edict to send 6 troops to attack the Daning Dynasty simultaneously from the Central Plains and Guanzhong directions, with the intention of unifying the world.

In June, the sun is like fire in the sky.

Lin Jian'an, Han Yuheng, Gao Liang, Zhuge De and Shanziying commanders and others were patrolling back and forth in Zhanyang Pass and Guancheng, anxiously waiting for the latest news from the north.

The weather was very hot and stuffy, and everyone was sweating profusely. However, the commander stayed on the city wall and did not dare to suggest returning to the camp to rest. Just when he could no longer bear it, he finally received a report from a distant scout who was rushing back: "Hu

Seven days ago, Xireba, a fierce general with ten thousand men, led a partial army of more than 5,000 troops, all of whom were elites. They had left Jingzhao and headed for Ziwu Road, followed by more than 3,000 Han soldiers to escort the baggage."

After receiving the news, Lin Jianan immediately returned to the camp to discuss with everyone.

"I have received a message from the Commander-in-Chief. This time, the Mongolian and Hu troops in Guanzhong are attacking the Han Dynasty in three groups. The total strength is about 120,000. Marshal Su Hedai of the Guanzhong capital will lead the main force and will attack Xiegu Road with 80,000 troops. Deputy Marshal Aricha will lead 3

Wan Fei attacked Chencang Road. Ziwu Road was just a partial division with a small army. The purpose of attacking Ziwu Road was to contain the main force of the Han Dynasty. There were many passes along Ziwu Road, which made it difficult for the army to pass since ancient times. However, if an army was sent to attack, it would have to respond. Once

Once you get out of the Shaoyang Pass that we are guarding, you can not only threaten the heart of the Han Dynasty, but also cooperate with the main force to attack the main road of Xiegu."

After Lin Jian'an finished speaking, he patted Zhu Jianheng on the shoulder: "Commander Zhu has made a great contribution this time. Through the internal response, he has successfully conveyed a message to the Hu scouts, that is, the troops guarding Ziwu Road are just a troop newly adapted from bandits. Hope

Although Riba is fierce, he will despise us and be eager to achieve success, which gives us an opportunity to take advantage of."

"This battle is the first battle of our Shanzi camp. We must win it. Not only must we win, but we must also make a name for ourselves. I have thought about it for many days and cannot passively wait at Shaoyang Pass for the enemy to attack. Although there is an advantage in waiting for work, it cannot be used to its full potential.

Given the advantages of our Shanzi camp, how is it different from other camps?"

"In the past few years, we have already figured out the terrain of Ziwu Road. What are our advantages? We are good at fighting in mountains and canyons. The efficiency of marching on Ziwu Road is much higher than that of other Zitou battalions and even higher than that of the Hu army. Our Shanzi Battalion is all

They came from fighting for many years. After these years of training, the disciplines are strict, the orders and prohibitions are strict, and everyone is proficient in bows and crossbows. To be honest, our Shanzi Battalion fights in the mountains. One person can fight three. Of course, there is a duel on horseback in the open area.

Another thing to say."

"Currently, Wulang Pass in the Ziwu Valley is still in the hands of the barbarians. There are only a few dozen defenders who can send messages with beacon fire. Our disguised smuggling caravan has long been familiar with them. Wulang Pass is about 300 miles away from us. I hope tomorrow

Deputy Commander He Gaoliang led the more than 5,000 men of the Shanzi Battalion without any food, grass or baggage. They had prepared everything along the way. The horse and infantry teamed up with light equipment to march to the south of Wulang Pass for five days. They wore armor, took arrows and abandoned their horses, and replenished dry food. They did not attack Wulang Pass.

It was temporarily left to the Hu people to relax their vigilance. The army secretly crossed the pass from both sides of the pass to the canyon area more than ten miles north of Wulang Pass, and set up an ambush in the dense mountains and forests on the left and right. We calculated the time based on our marching speed and hoped that we would arrive at the ambush site.

The main force of Japan and Pakistan should still be at Ziwu Pass or dozens of miles south of Ziwu Pass. It is still a day's journey to the ambush site. We can prepare equipment, rest and replenish, and wait for work. This battle is roughly arranged in this way. Everyone, strive to do your best in this battle.

We will annihilate the main force of the enemy in one battle and promote the prestige of our Shanzi camp. I hope everyone will work together. Zhuge will lead, and Zhu will obey the orders!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"The Northern Expedition and the scouts have been merged, and Zhuge De has unified the command. They will set off today to clear the road. If they encounter enemy scouts, they will kill them without mercy. They will monitor the Wulang Pass defenders to avoid accidents. The scouts will go out to Ziwu Pass to report the enemy's position at any time.

; The equipment and food stored along the way should be left under guard; guides who are familiar with the road should be arranged to stay with the Chinese army for later use. Have you written down everything?"

"My subordinate understands!"

"Vice-Commander Gao immediately began to prepare the army and will set off on time tomorrow."

"Follow the order!"

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

Seeing his former brothers and today's subordinates taking orders with excitement on their faces, Lin Jianan only felt tired while sitting in the camp.

As a subordinate, you only need to obey orders and fight the enemy bravely, but as a general of an army, you cannot do that. You have to consider all aspects of the problem and bear all kinds of pressure.

Lin Jian'an knew that although he looked calm on the outside, he was actually uneasy in his heart. This was his first time leading an army in a battle. Only God knew whether he would be able to do it or not, and only God knew what problems might arise during the process!

Deng Changxun and Cao Baojin both told him to wait for the enemy at Shaoyang Pass. To ensure the safety of Shaoyang Pass, they also left a thousand elite battalions of Yongzi battalions to assist in guarding the pass. If it weren't for the army's full-scale invasion, Ziwu Valley was not the main road, and if it weren't for Qingfeng

Shan Lin Jian'an's excellent performance in seizing power, maybe because it is the first time for Lin Jian'an to lead the army, he will not be allowed to take the lead.

Lin Jian'an's style of play went against the wishes of the Han government. If it failed, the consequences would be unpredictable.

But Lin Jian'an is really unwilling to do that. The fighter opportunity is right in front of him. When can he get ahead by following the steps? He must do this if he wants to realize the plan.

Han Yuheng originally wanted to object, but it was also his first time to march for a war, so he couldn't explain anything after hearing Lin Jianan's reasons.

In addition, Lin Jian'an also thought that if it really failed, with Shanziying's personal ability in the Yongling Mountains, many people would have no problem escaping. Han Yuheng and Yongziying would take over the defense of Shaoyang Pass, and with the steepness of Guancheng, they would be able to defend it.

It's not a big problem. This is one of the reasons why Lin Jian'an dares to take risks. Bandits are always very adventurous.

A black dragon emerged from Shaoyang Pass and spread to the north with an astonishing momentum. It was the Shanzi Camp that set out for the first time.

The clothing of Shanzi Camp is somewhat different from that of other camps of the Han Dynasty. The clothes and armor of the Han Dynasty are mainly red, which is similar to the mainstream of the Daning court. However, the clothes and armor of Shanzi Camp obtained when they were bandits were all turned into black.

, because they all felt that black had the highest and most ruthless aura, so after adapting it to Shanziying, they found it too troublesome and were not used to it, so they didn’t bother to change it, and the Jiedushi government did not force it.
