The bright moon of the Qin Dynasty was at the Pass of the Han Dynasty, and the people who marched thousands of miles have not yet returned.

Xiaoguan is also called Xiaoguan of Han Dynasty.

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, it has been the throat of the northwest and the frontline to resist the nomads in the northwest.

The battles between Tang and Tubo in history, and the weak rivalry between Song and Xia for supremacy, all came under this pass.

After crossing the river, the loess was vast and desolate.

The key areas of stability are in the Jingshui River to the east and the valley downstream of Wushui River. The west side is water-scarce and drought-prone, and there are few people inhabiting it.

After Beidi County was invaded by the Qiang and Hu, the Han forces retreated to Anding and governed Linjing County. In the fifth year of Yongchu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a great Qiang turmoil and Anding was conquered. Linjing and Gaoping counties were all abolished.

After the Xianling Qiang were pacified, the Han people returned, but they were mainly concentrated in the Linjing area to the east.

Gaoping County, where Xiaoguan is located, gradually became deserted.

Yang Zhengru entered a deserted area, and no army came to stop him.

After walking along the Xiaoguan Old Road for more than a hundred miles, we saw the Great Wall of Qin winding on Liupan Mountain, crossing the Jinghe River from west to east, and lying across the Xiaoguan Old Road.

After seeing the terrain of this place, Yang Zheng knew why Du Yu encouraged him to take Anding County first.

It is equivalent to a gate that controls the north, south, east and west.

Hetao, Hexi, Longyou and Guanzhong are all under the gaze of this pass.

However, after more than a hundred years of vicissitudes of life, Qincheng and Hanguan have become mottled and have many collapsed areas.

With the flags closed and flags fluttering, it was obvious that they were prepared.

"The Yongliang army was defeated, and the Hu family, Zhang family, and Huangfu family were united and gathered four thousand private soldiers to guard Xiao Pass!" A scout covered in dust came to report.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but frown, these wealthy and stable people are really stubborn.

He said he was going to enter Guanzhong and march to Chang'an, but he didn't expect that he would encounter a hard problem just after crossing the river.

How to be a powerful scholar is related to future development.

One size fits all is definitely not possible.

From another perspective, the Zhang family, Hu family, and Huangfu family have made great contributions to China.

It was they who stood in front of the iron hoof of the alien race.

Needless to say about the Hu family, the Huangfu family had famous generals Huangfu Gui and Huangfu Song in the late Han Dynasty, who fought at the forefront.

And the Anding Zhang family became brilliant decades later.

First, Zhang Gui entered Wuwei and stored the fireworks of the Han family in Wuhu. His son Zhang Mao was regarded as Zhengshuo in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He controlled the Rong in the Western Regions in the west and resisted Han Zhao Liu Yao in the east. His grandson Zhang Jun seized the territory of Henan, captured Longyou, and captured Qianliang.

Push to the top.

In the past in Xiping, Shi Jiahao was weak and could be manipulated by Yang Zheng, but now he has to be more cautious.

But now, there is a new situation, a new situation, and a new struggle.

Externally, Yang Zheng can raise the butcher's knife without hesitation, but internally he cannot do the same.

This is a self-defeating move.

Everything in heaven and earth has two sides.

In the northwest, they are also the essence of the Han family.

Therefore, Shi Jiahaoyou is not useless, it depends on whether he can control them.

This requires extremely high political skill to control.

In history, most of the outstanding talents of the Sui and Tang dynasties came from aristocratic families.

In fact, this was also the case in this era. Xun Yu, Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, etc. also mostly came from noble families.

The Sima family is inherently crooked, so naturally they can't control the crookedness of others.

"Set up camp first." Yang Zheng could only take a look before speaking.

"Wei!" The soldier went down to deliver the order.

After a while, the soldiers began to cut down trees and dig trenches.

The scouts explored farther north and south, trying to find a common breakthrough.

I don’t know who the guard general of Xiaoguan is. The defense is watertight and all the breaches are blocked. There is a sentry every three steps and a post every five steps on the city wall. A large number of scouts are also sent to watch from a distance.

The two armies did not fight, but the scouts strangled each other first.

A man from the northwest has excellent riding skills and superb archery skills.

He was actually able to compete with Yang Zheng's elite scouts.

"Have you found out who is the general?" Yang Zheng became more and more interested in General Xiaoguan.

This man was extremely foresighted. When the Yongliang army was defeated, he integrated his troops to defend Xiaoguan and blocked Yang Zheng's way.

"Not yet." Meng Guan looked ashamed.

Yang Zheng thought for a moment, "Then let Liu Heng lead three hundred gongs and drummers to scold the city."

Liu Heng was not afraid, so he patted his chest and left.

Not long after, the sound of gongs and drums below the city was loud.

Liu Heng was a rough guy who didn't want to use his brain and had no literary talent. He went straight to greet the other party's ancestors for eighteen generations.

He also led a group of rough guys to take off their pants and rush to the door to let out water.

In this era, ancestors were more respected. If they were ordinary generals, they would have killed them long ago.

But there was still no movement at all when I closed it.

This made Yang Zheng feel a little restless, but he was helpless.

So I walked home in despair, feeling unwilling to do so.

If you can't break Xiao Pass now, it will only be harder in the future.

After Sima Fu and Deng Ai regain their breath, they will definitely station heavy troops here.

As a last resort, Yang Zheng ordered the mobilization of the Anyin army and built siege equipment.

A few days later, Wei Guan arrived with ten thousand cavalry. He looked at Xiao Guan in a daze and said, "General An Ding is indeed extraordinary."

"Attack or leave?" Seeing him say this, Yang Zheng immediately hesitated.

"The barriers in Guanzhong are all gathered here. If you don't take them today, you will definitely have a bloody head and a bloody head in the future."

With Wei Guan's words, Yang Zheng no longer hesitated.

Nothing is easy these days, every step is filled with difficulties and dangers.

Since you can't win by lying down, you can only move forward without fear of hardships.

In the cold wind, arrows and stones rained down on Xiao Guan.

There were also belemnites thrown at the gate.

Xiaoguan occupies a favorable location and Xiping has many soldiers.

Follow-up slaves and soldiers are still being sent in a steady stream. According to Du Yu's wishes, An Ding must be captured.

In just a few days, another thirty or forty thousand people gathered under Xiaoguan.

With more people and greater strength, cannons, stones, and arrows rained day and night, and the closed towers were flattened.

There's not even a flat place to close it.

After a day and night, the army began to attack the city.

However, the resistance of the defenders was extremely fierce, as their homeland was in the rear, so everyone fought for their lives and repelled the attacks of the Xiping Army twice.

More than five hundred people were killed and more than a thousand wounded.

"One vigorous effort, then another failure, three times exhaustion! Do we, Xiping Erlang, want to stop here?" Yang Zheng glanced at the generals, and they all lowered their heads.

Having said that, I actually understand in my heart that if the soldiers fight continuously without rest and recuperation, their combat effectiveness will inevitably decline.

In this era, defending a city has a huge advantage.

Hao Zhao's more than a thousand men blocked Zhuge Wuhou's tens of thousands of Shu troops, and the three thousand defenders of Xincheng defeated Zhuge Ke.

Of course, it is also possible that the Zhuge family is not naturally good at attacking cities.

"I will lead a thousand elite troops to the front!" Liu Heng half-knelt on the ground, his face flushed.

"No, I will attack the city myself!" Yang Zheng shouted angrily.

Everyone looked at Yang Zheng in surprise.

"The general is the most important person in the three armies, so he should not risk his own life." Wei Guan advised.

"If I don't come forward, who will sacrifice their lives!" Yang Zheng picked up his sword and shield and walked out, "Boyu can play the drum for me!"

There are only three things to do. If he can't win this time, Yang Zheng will have no choice but to return to Hexi with his tail between his legs.

But this also shows how dangerous Xiao Guan is.
