Guanzhong, Daxing.↑

In the palace, Yang Xiu was looking at the map, and Yuan Heng panicked and asked for a visit.

"The big thing is not good. Yang Lin sent He Ruobi to command 100,000 Northern Expedition soldiers from Guanzhong and 20,000 Turkic cavalry to leave Taiyuan and head for Guanzhong. Yang Guang also led 100,000 Jianghuai troops and horses to advance westward along the water route. Yang Hong, Jingzhou and Yang Zhao, Yang Zhao, each of them led 50,000 troops to join."

When Yang Xiu heard this, he hurriedly expanded the map and studied it carefully.

"If it's not my intention, Yang Lin didn't personally lead his troops to the Huaihuang army westward, right?" Yang Xiu asked.

As the Minister of War, Yuan Heng had a clear understanding of military information and nodded quickly, "Your Majesty is right. According to the news received by Weichen, Yang Lin did not personally lead the troops south, but sent He Ruobi to command 120,000 Guanzhong troops and Turkic troops south, while Yang Lin was still in Taiyuan. According to reports, Yang Lin was preparing to go south to Luoyang. In addition, Weichen also received a message that could not be confirmed. Yang Lin had disbanded no less than 200,000 Guandong soldiers in Taiyuan a few days ago, and asked them to go home to harvest wheat. He also disbanded the hundreds of thousands of civilians who had previously recruited and sent them back to their hometowns. This news has not been confirmed yet, and I don't know if it is true or false."

"It's probably true." Yang Xiu stroked his big beard, and a hint of shrewd flashed through it.

"But this makes sense. Why did Yang Lin disband his troops? He should take advantage of the situation to lead the army south and west into Guanzhong?" Yuan Heng couldn't understand why Yi Feng did this at all.

Yang Xiu sneered. "Celebrity, you can know how he thinks and behaves by looking at his personality. Yang Lin is cunning and insidious. It turns out that he has been speculating between Yang Yong and Yang Lin. He also knows how to flatter the emperor, so he can rise up in a short time and have extremely strong strength. What this guy is best at is the Yellow Bird, who is very patient and difficult to hide. When he waits for the best opportunity, he will take action. I have studied the battle of Daibei that Yang Lin had just fought. It is extremely for the sake of it. Besides, his troops entered Taiyuan to put Yang Yong under house arrest, which is even more extraordinary. After controlling Taiyuan, Yang Lin was equivalent to controlling Guandong. However, Yang Lin was just a horse thief before, and his real confidant was

Huaihuang soldiers and horses, even the prefectures of Youzhou Prefecture, have not really been warmed up yet. Yang Lin knew very well that Guanzhong was not that easy to fight, especially when Yang Guang was on the side. This guy is now as cunning as ever, sending He Ruobi and Guanzhong soldiers to the west. On the one hand, it can consume our strength, and on the other hand, it can also consume the strength of Gaoyang He Ruobi and others. This is called cutting off the power of the alien power except the direct line. As for disbanding those soldiers of the palace, it is easy to understand. He definitely did not disband his Huaihuang army to harvest wheat, so the result is not obvious. He was mainly for Gaoyang and others. This is the internal power struggle of Taiyuan pseudo-dynasty. Yang Lin went south to Luoyang. He even made a ruthless move. The west can attack Guanzhong and the south to take Yangzhou."

"Yang Lin is really so cunning? Maybe Yang Lin disbanded the troops. It was just because the logistics supply of food and grass was tight?" Yuan Heng couldn't believe that Yang Lin could consider it so comprehensively.

"No matter how tight the food and grass are, it will be fine if we last for a year or two. I think Yang Lin is not simple. I think Yang Lin is eyeing Yang Guang. Maybe Yang Lin doesn't take me and the court seriously at all. He wants to control the Taiyuan pseudo-chapel first, then defeat Yang Guang first, and then attack Guanzhong. Although it is very unpleasant to be looked down upon by others, this is not bad. At least we have more time." Yang Xiu sneered coldly, proud of his guessing Yang Lin's plan. "Since Yang Lin wants to destroy Yang Guang first, let's cooperate with him. You can quickly send an order and immediately send my order to the leaders of the southwest barbarians to send troops. Let's destroy Yang Zhao first. He really thinks that being the general manager of Yizhou will really become the king of Shu? Overestimating his ability, do you really think that I have been in Shu for many years?"

"Then He Ruobi's side?"

"There are dangers in Guanzhong. Although He Ruobi is coming in a fierce and powerful way, why is he terrible? Send troops to strengthen the guards of Tongguan and Pujin Pass. He Ruobi can still fly into Guanzhong." Yang Xiu snorted coldly. The 120,000 soldiers did not make him afraid. However, he was a little afraid of Yang Su and Shi Wansui who were in the northwest. These two were too strong. In that battle with the Turks, Yang Sui and Shi Wansui actually fought a cavalry battle with Datou head-on with 150,000 troops and horses, and he won the battle. Fortunately, Yang Su supports Yang Guang, and Shi Wansui supports Yang Yong. The two are now defending each other. Yang Yong has become Yang Lin's prisoner. It is said that Shi Wansui and Yang Lin are a bit disagreeable, and have betrayed Yang Guang. Maybe he can find a way to win over Shi Wansui over and use Shi Wansu to deal with Yang Su and ensure the safety of the west side of the capital.

"Abide by the order."

Yang Zhao led 50,000 Yizhou troops out of Jianmen and walked into Hanzhong. He received Yang Guang's latest edict that he would not go to Xiangyang to meet again, but went out of Jianmen and went directly to Hanzhong, and then attacked Sanguan, one of the four passes in Guanzhong, to disperse the defenders of Wuguan to side-surface covering the troops in Huainan and Jingzhou to attack Wuguan. There are two passages between Shuzhong and Hanzhong, Jinniu Road and Micang Road. Jinniu Road was opened when the Qin State attacked Shu. Later, the Three Kingdoms Clock will attack Shu Han. During the Western Wei Dynasty, Yuchi took Yizhou in Liang Dynasty, and they all took this route.

This important road starts from Bailao Pass in Xixian County, Liangzhou, Hanzhong in the north and reaches the Great Sword Pass in Jianzhou, Shuzhong, and crosses the highest peak Chaotianling in the middle. Jiange is the most important gateway.

Twenty-five miles north of Jiange County is Jianmen Mountain, also known as Dajian Mountain. There is Xiaojian Mountain thirty miles east. The two mountains are connected, the mountains are dangerous and the flying pavilion is thoroughfare, which is called Jiange. The large and small Jian Mountain extends for more than two hundred miles, with peaks and mountains connected, extending like a city, and a narrow road below is Jianmen Pass. Because the cliffs of the mountain are broken, the two cliffs are like embedded, like gates, and like swords planted, it is called Jianmen.

Before arriving at Jianmen Pass, Yang Zhao's army had already walked 500 miles, and passed Yi, Han, Mian, Jianzhou. It was said that the road to Shu was difficult, but in fact, Yang Zhao's troops walked smoothly along the way. Shu Road was difficult to refer to the road to Shu and Shu, but in Shu, the road traffic was still very good. Shu is a huge basin, with the plains in Shu rich and pleasant climate. Five hundred miles did not take long, and Shu people seemed to be naturally good at marching. Many Yizhou soldiers rode the short Dian horses unique to Shu, and moved quickly. Even ordinary soldiers marched barefoot boards, but they could also marching like flying.

The roads became mountain roads until the soldiers entered Jianzhou and the speed slowed down.

When we arrived in front of Jianmen Pass, the road was already rugged and difficult to walk. The Jianshan Mountains of Big and Big continued to rise and fall, and there was a small narrow road between the two mountains.

Jianguanmen stationed a thousand soldiers and horses. The general of the town was Liang Gang, the son of Liang Shiyan, the famous general of the state dynasty.

Yang Zhao's chief clerk Wei Baoluan looked at the dangerous terrain and said with some concern, "Is the guard guard of Jianmen Pass reliable?" Although there are only one thousand garrisons in such a dangerous pass, if the guards refuse to let go, even if they have 50,000 troops, they will have to be blocked here for a long time. Maybe they will have to suffer a lot of casualties if they want to take Jianmen Pass.

Yang Zhao smiled, "No problem. Gu and Liang Gang had already passed the letter, and he also replied that he was willing to be loyal to His Majesty." Yang Zhao rode a tall Qinghai Camp, which was a famous horse from Tuyuhun, and was made of a hybrid of Tuyuhun's good horse and Persian horse. He was tall and strong, and could travel thousands of miles a day. For Yang Zhao, who was a bit white and fat, this horse was just right. However, although Yang Zhao was very fat, not as handsome as his father Yang Guang. However, he was not as fat as the prince Yang Yong. Yang Zhao had great strength. He could drive an iron-feeded strong bow. In fact, the bow he wore was an iron-arm bow and could skillfully use a horse spear on horse. He was very skilled in the martial arts style of the Yang family, and he was also very knowledgeable. He also had the style of Yang Guang in this regard. With his age of less than twenty, it was already very impressive to have both civil and military skills.

"That's good." Wei Baoluan chuckled. Wei Baoluan is the grandson of the famous general Wei Xiaokuan, and his father Wei Shou is the fourth son of Wei Xiaokuan. As the grandson of the famous general, Wei was also a top family in the Sui Dynasty. Wei Baoluan has been very smooth since childhood. Last year, the princess of Qin Cui was defeated by the Qin King, and Cui was sentenced to death. Yang Zhao's original wife was Cui's niece. Yang Zhao immediately divorced his wife, and then Yang Guang came forward to marry Wei Xiaokuan's granddaughter as his concubine, Wei Baoluan's sister. Therefore, when Yang Zhao took office as the general manager of Yizhou, Wei Baoluan became his chief clerk, which was considered to be his brother-in-law.

Liang Gang, guarding Jianmen Pass, was like Wei Baoluan, also a member of the Guanlong noble group. His father Liang Shiyan was a Zhuguo in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After Emperor Wu destroyed Qi, he was promoted to the Shangzhu Kingdom. After Emperor Wu of Zhou attacked Jinzhou in Northern Qi, he also defended Jinzhou alone and resisted Qi army. After destroying Qi, he was granted Duke Xu and advanced to the Shangzhu Kingdom. Then he attacked Chen and took Huainan. On the weekend, he followed Wei Xiaokuan to defeat Yuchi Jiong and took Yecheng. However, after Liang Shiyan entered the Sui Dynasty, he was suspicious because of his generals in Northern Zhou. He was summoned to the capital. He lived in vain and had nothing to do. He was depressed and unsuccessful. He plotted against Yuwenxin and Liu Fang and wanted to take

He was the emperor of Yang Jian, and was killed. Most of the children of the Liang family were killed. Liang Gang once tried hard to persuade his father, but later the emperor specially exempted him from his death. When Liang Gang was young, his family was prosperous and he was awarded Yitong as a young man. Later, he was promoted to the government with his father Ping Yuchi Cheng's meritorious contribution. He also made great contributions to the Turks and promoted to the throne, the Duke of Tongzheng County and the Governor of Jingzhou, and was regarded as the youngest among the younger generation in the Guanlong group. As a result, because his father rebelled, he was exempted from death, but he was exiled to Guazhou. Later, he finally returned to the court. Now he has become a sword guard and a fifth-rank official.

"How did Liang Gang agree so happily?" Wei Baoluan asked immediately.

"Gu promised him that as long as he is loyal to His Majesty, Gu will definitely ask His Majesty to restore Liang Shiyan's reputation and let Liang Gang inherit Liang Shiyan's title." Yang Zhao said, but there was another condition he did not tell Wei Baoluan. Liang Gang also made a request, that was, to let Yang Zhao agree to marry Liang Gang's daughter as a concubine. This was not a condition, so he naturally agreed immediately, but there was no need to tell Wei Baoluan that it was.

There are two most important passes along the way from Yizhou to Guanzhong. One is San Pass, one of the four passes in Guanzhong, and the other is Jianmen. If it is blocked under Jianmen Pass, it will greatly delay my father's plan.

When approaching the gate, Yang Zhao deliberately put on a golden crown and asked the soldiers to put on clean clothes. The entire army suddenly became more powerful and mighty.

The city of Guan was emerging in the drizzle, with one stone facing the sky and the sky, and the two mountains were like a wall, the sword gate was majestic. The real man was at Guan, and ten thousand men could not open, majestic and spectacular.

This building is like a sword or a door that blocks the dangerously passive Jianmen Pass City. The building is about six meters high, with bluestone as the base, ancient arch gate, beast swallowing rings, and gold nails to fix the door. The door is constructed with a three-story hip roof, with windows on all sides, and the circle is transparent. From a distance, it suddenly feels like the oppression of the enemy building being high and the piles are tightly packed.

"It's so majestic!" Yang Zhao sighed. The cliffs on both sides stood up, which made the importance of this Guancheng extremely prominent. In order to pass this Guancheng, it was completely worth marrying Liang Gang's daughter. Even if Liang Gang's daughter was extremely ordinary, he accepted it.

Wei Baoluan also sighed at the majesty of the city of Guancheng, "Your Highness, after we enter the pass, we must send our own people to take over and guard this pass."

"Um."

"Your Highness, the role of this pass in Shuzhong is comparable to that of Tongguan and Guanzhong. Such an important pass in Guanzhong must not be easily controlled by others."

Yang Zhao seemed to feel that it was not so serious and smiled and said, "Since Liang Gang is loyal to my father, he is ours. Besides, we have 50,000 troops. But if you really think it is necessary, there is no problem. Liang Gang is also a powerful general, and it is too useless to guard such a passerby in the city. At that time, I will let Liang Gang be the vanguard general, and he will lead the forward, and then win the Sanguan for us."

While speaking, Liang Gang had personally led the officers from Guanzhong to welcome him. Liang Gang was tall and mighty, wearing a yellow Sui battle robe like his subordinates, wearing a horizontal sword on his waist, holding a horse spear, and carrying a bow and arrow. Below the croaker was a weathered square face with a short beard under his jaw.

"General Yonggu." Yang Zhao stepped forward with a smile on his face and greeted Liang Gang.

"My dear Liang Gang, pays homage to the Crown Prince." Liang Gang jumped off his horse and saluted Yang Zhao with his subordinates.

"I'll give you no gift, please get up. I'll have to help General Liang and you all prepare food and hot water for the orphans who are fighting against rebellion."

Liang Gang stood up, "I know that Your Highness led the army to arrive today, I have already ordered the soldiers in Guanzhong to prepare food, wine and drinks, and ask His Highness to enter the pass. However, the city of Guan was small and it was difficult to accommodate such a large army. Therefore, I suggested that Your Highness might as well bring only the guards into the pass. The army would stay at the pass, and I would send people to send wine and meals to reward the army."

"The general thought was so thoughtful. The lonely and the soldiers were very grateful. After walking for several days, he was really sleepy and exhausted."
