Jiagu Pass was originally a mountain road, and later a pass was built around the mountain road.
The pass is built against the mountain and is tall and solid. If you want to conquer Jiagu Pass, there is only one way, and that is to attack the city through ants.
But how many people must die to conquer such a dangerous pass?
If the number of defenders is large enough and there is enough food and fodder, conquering it will be a dream.
"It's very dangerous!"
Han Ji sighed, "One man can guard the pass, but ten thousand men cannot open it. This is what I'm talking about!"
He Lianrong said: "Guanzhong is called the foundation of the emperors, not only because of the vast fertile wilderness, but also because the surrounding areas of Guanzhong are easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can cultivate health and recuperate, and strengthen troops and horses."
When it comes to fertile fields, the south is more outstanding than Guanzhong.
But the south could not raise a king... After Shi Zhongtang's defeat, this kind of public opinion became rampant.
Only in Guanzhong can a true dragon appear!
"Those people are chattering about how the true dragon can come out of Guanzhong, but His Highness established his foundation in the north." Han Ji said sarcastically: "When Your Highness ascends the throne, I want to see what those people's faces will look like."
"Now we have to capture Jiagu Pass first, otherwise..."
Should the King of Qin be allowed to ascend the throne in Daozhou?
That would make the world a laughing stock.
But Li Xuan came with only 10,000 cavalry, and anyone with a discerning eye would know that he was not here to attack the city.
Li Han at the top of the city also saw what Li Xuan meant, "He wants to talk to you."
There is a King of Qin at the bottom of the city, but at the top of the city is the prince whom the false emperor had given him before he left.
Logically speaking, King Qin still has to keep his head down.
But behind Li Xuan is the vast Northland, countless soldiers and civilians in Northern Xinjiang, and the hometown of Northern Liao.
He came with the power of defeating the rebels. Who dares to look down on him from a high place?
Li Song said: "Your Highness must make a decision."
The great clans in Guanzhong did not have a good impression of the King of Qin... It was an iron rule that aristocratic families should not be moved, but this King of Qin stepped on the Yang family of Yingchuan. In the northern Xinjiang, he punished those powerful people without tears, and many families were forced to Leave Northern Xinjiang.
This guy doesn't like rich people!
Therefore, the wealthy people in Guanzhong would rather King Wei ascend the throne than allow Li Xuan to enter Guanzhong.
This is why they entrusted Li Song to be their lobbyist.
As long as King Wei nods, money, food, talents, including the army, they will be ready for King Wei immediately.
This is a God-given opportunity!
Li Song smiled and waited for King Wei to nod.
Li Han looked at the big flag under the city and vaguely saw Li Xuan.
I haven’t seen him for a long time, and this man looks even more majestic.
what to do?
Li Han was worried that it would lead to a dead end.
"Your Majesty..."
He wanted to persuade.
"switch!"
Li Han: "..."
Li Song: "..."
King Wei turned around, "Switch!"
"Your Highness!"
"King!"
Even though he was named the prince, everyone still addressed him in a messy manner, which was a sign that he no longer had authority.
"Gu said, switch!"
King Wei held the handle of the giant sword, and everyone then remembered that this man was willing to kill people.
"Your Highness, how about I become a lobbyist?" Han Ji said with a smile.
Li Laoer, who is said to be a dog, is he planning to have sex with me?
Li Xuan cursed in his heart, but his face said calmly: "Don't worry."
"Your Highness, Guanzhong is the foundation!" Han Ji's eyes became ruthless, "The great clans in the world have no good opinion of our Northern Territory. I dare to bet that the great clans in Guanzhong are encouraging King Wei to stand on his own. Every day, King Wei will Make it stronger. Your Highness, we can’t delay it!”
He Lianrong touched his bald head and said, "Capturing Guanzhong is the first priority. Otherwise, my army will go south and Guanzhong will suddenly come out from behind..."
This is one of the importance of Guanzhong.
Whoever controls Guanzhong will have the initiative.
At that time, Li Tang was growing up in Guanzhong, watching the smoke and dust in the world fighting each other. When he felt that the time had come, he sent troops. After fighting for a while, he came back to grow up. When he felt that his strength had recovered, he came out again.
It seems that we have to do another one?
Li Xuan coughed dryly and was about to order him back.
He planned to capture Jianzhou first and use Jianzhou as his foothold to blockade Guanzhong.
"Your Highness, the king is selfless!"
The words from Mercy's mouth were not compassionate at all, "For the sake of the world, all those friendships should be put aside!"
"alert!"
Someone in front shouted loudly.
What's the meaning?
Li Xuan was startled and saw the door slowly opening.
What does this mean?
Does Li Laoer still dare to come out and have a fight with Gu?
But he only has thousands of people in his hands...
Li Xuan sighed.
What a dog said!
The door was closed wide and a horse came out slowly.
The majestic body and the giant sword on his waist are particularly eye-catching.
"Come for a drink!"
King Wei waved.
"Where's the food?" Li Xuan asked.
"Do it yourself."
"Are there any fat sheep?"
"Yes, the fat sheep from Guanzhong have a light smell of mutton and are fresh and tender."
"good."
Li Xuan rode out.
"Your Highness!"
Lin Feibao wanted to follow.
"No need."
Li Xuan shook his head, "Go alone."
Han Ji gritted his teeth and said: "Follow us and make a surprise attack!"
Yang Lue rode out and said, "I'm going too."
Li Xuan glanced at him and smiled: "That's fine."
Ning Yayun shook her head. He knew that if it were him who spoke up, King Qin would definitely refuse.
"Prepare!"
For the first time, there was murderous intent in Mercy's eyes.
Seeing that the situation was not right, we had to raid Jiagu Pass.
"A bit thinner!"
Li Xuan rode over.
"You look a little more weathered," King Wei said.
"Too much to worry about."
"Can't you worry less?"
"I think so too, but those people from Te Niang won't stop!"
"Too."
King Wei glanced at Yang Lue.
"Yang Lue, the commander of the guards who took me south." Li Xuan introduced.
King Wei nodded and turned his horse around.
The two of them slowly entered Jiagu Pass.
Han Ji's forehead was steaming... Jiang He'er touched his forehead and thought it wasn't hot today!
The compassionate monk's eyes were full of murderous intent, and his right hand was clenched.
Even Lao Shuai Guo, who had always been calm and composed, was holding the tail tightly at this moment, as if he would fly his sword to kill King Wei in the next moment.
The three of them entered the door, but the door was still open.
"Huh!"
Han Ji was surprised.
The key is, there is no one inside or outside the closed door.
In other words, if the Northern Xinjiang Army rushes in at this moment, Jiagu Pass will change its owner.
…
Li Han was standing on the long street after closing the door.
"Jianming!"
"Zitai!"
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time and were particularly cordial.
King Wei's residence does not occupy a large area, but it has a rare pool.
"It is said that there is a well below, so the water is always flowing."
Li Han also lives here.
Tables and mats were set up by the pool. Li Xuan sat down. A servant started to light a fire and a fat sheep was being groomed.
"Marine for half an hour."
Li Xuan ordered.
"It's more delicious if you bake it directly," Li Han said.
"Do you understand or do I understand?" Li Xuan's words left Li Han speechless.
"Bring the drinks." King Wei ordered.
The cool breeze blows, and the big trees beside the pool are rustling, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
A jar of wine for each person.
Yang Lue stood on the side, shaking his head and rejecting the wine.
The three of them drank in silence.
After an unknown amount of time, King Wei asked, "How are Shi Ni's men doing?"
"Tiger and Wolf Master."
This is a pun, referring to the ferocity of Shi Zhongtang's men on the one hand, and the cruelty of the rebels on the other.
"After this battle, Shi Ni could only escape into southern Xinjiang and wait for the northern Xinjiang army to attack. It's a pity that the Southern Zhou Dynasty was over." Li Han sighed: "Shi Ni led the main force northward, and they were defeated."
"The south cannot raise a true dragon." King Wei said: "The fundamental reason for this is that the nature of the people in the south cannot conquer the world."
Northerners are fierce and brave, and the so-called generous and tragic people are referring to Northerners.
Shi Zhongtang withdrew from the ranks of competing in the world, so what will be the general trend of the world?
The army in northern Xinjiang is at its peak, but in the south there is Shi Zhongtang who is still lingering, and in Shu there are false emperors and countless dignitaries and aristocratic families in Chang'an.
There are many people with ulterior motives in Guanzhong.
Shi Gongming, Western Xinjiang, Southern Zhou Dynasty...
The world is still in chaos.
Whoever wants to control the world must defeat these forces.
"Aye made me the crown prince because he wanted to shirk the blame." King Wei was very clear-headed. "He fled all the way to Shu, but a message came along the way, saying that I am the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, commanding the army.
Guard Guanzhong."
Isn't this so damn shameless?
In other words, the fall of Guanzhong had nothing to do with him, Li Mi. It was the fault of the Crown Prince, the Marshal of the World's Armed Forces.
"I remember that when this was announced, the second son looked relieved. At that moment, the position of the prince became a hot potato. Yang Songcheng looked at me with something wrong in his eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person."
King Wei said coldly: "Yes! Shi Ni broke through Jiagu Pass, Aye escaped, and I have hundreds of riders under my command. What's the point of not dying?"
"If they go to Shu, they won't worry about not coming back?" Li Xuan was very curious.
Although the Shu region is also said to be fertile and wild, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there is a fatal problem in the Shu region: it is located in a corner.
You are just a side character, how can you conquer the world?
"No one else in the aristocratic family lacks patience." King Wei took a sip of wine, "They can tolerate it. For example, the Yang family of Yingchuan tolerated it for more than a hundred years many years ago. It was not until four emperors later that they found the opportunity to support
The new emperor ascends the throne and becomes a dignitary in the world again."
"In other words, if Shi Ni destroys Shu, will they choose to surrender?"
"Yes." King Wei nodded, "Foreign races have no luck for a hundred years, so they just have to endure for a hundred years. When the world is turbulent, it will be the time for the Yang family to rise again."
Li Han said: "Zitai, what a family can rely on is not just the land and stores, but the most important thing is the connections!"
"The Yang family in Yingchuan has been passed down for thousands of years, and there are countless in-laws. The Yang family spends a lot of money every year. Where does the money go? It's all used to maintain connections."
King Wei's words made Yang Luo take another look at him, thinking that this brat of a false emperor might have some knowledge.
"As long as these connections are there, the Yingchuan Yang family can rise again." King Wei said with hatred in his eyes, "My child!"
His eldest son was poisoned by Yang's people and became a fool.
"The meat is marinated." The servant came to ask for instructions.
"let's start!"
Li Xuan said it very seriously.
The three grown men looked at the fat sheep being put on top of the fire with serious expressions on their faces.
Yang Lue felt that the fat sheep had turned into a deer.
Competition in the world!
"Someone advised me to take control of Guanzhong and watch the changes in the world." King Wei said.
"Is the king's heart moved?" Li Xuan asked.
"You have always been very humble!" Li Han suddenly said.
"But this time, I'm not going to be humble." Li Xuan said.
This world belongs to him!
Yang Lue's eyes became more colorful.
This child has been a good person since he was a child. Even if he knew that he was not his biological parents, he would still be cruel to them.
He had been worried that Li Xuan would be indecisive, but at this moment, his worries dissipated.
"Aye will immediately turn around once he knows that this king is in control of Guanzhong." The corners of King Wei's mouth raised slightly with a touch of sarcasm.
"When he enters Chang'an City, he will claim that he is the returning king. Then, he will probably quietly capture the king, imprison him, and wait for the opportunity to execute him."
"He can't spare your life?" Li Xuan asked.
"Keeping me alive will remind him of his own embarrassment."
"Do you think it's interesting for people to live only for power?"
Li Xuan walked over, squatted down, and began to brush the fat sheep with sauce.
King Wei squatted opposite him and shook his head, "It's boring. People shouldn't be slaves to desire."
My murderous intention towards you has been reduced by 30%... Yang Lue looked at King Wei with his hands behind his back.
"When I was a kid, I secretly cooked delicious food at home and would hide it from me. But I wasn't stupid. I went after smelling it. Then I was scolded or asked to do things... When I came back, nothing was there."
Li Xuan turned the fat sheep, "Later, I gradually realized that this was not my delicacy. So I went into the mountains to hunt and roasted the prey myself. Regardless of whether it was delicious or not, I only knew that this was mine. Only my own.
Food is the most delicious when eaten.”
He didn't want to fall out with his eldest nephew, so he kept hinting.
This is not the country of Li Yuan's team.
"When Aye came to the throne, one day he went to the harem to see his mother-in-law. He said in a high-spirited voice that today I have humiliated so-and-so, and I am very happy. Later, I learned that the people he humiliated were important ministers who were loyal to the emperor.
.The man said to the court that the children and grandchildren who were filial to the emperor should be treated well, but he was humiliated by Aye."
King Wei spoke calmly about the secrets of the royal family, "I have also inquired about what happened back then. Chang Ding knew a lot. He said that there were many suspicious things about the downfall and execution of Emperor Filial Piety, especially the poisoning of the empress.
, there are even more doubts. The so-called who has made the biggest profit is the greater the suspicion. I know that this matter is inseparable from Aweng Aye."
The flames licked the fat sheep's carcass, making a sizzling sound. A drop of fat dripped down, and it exploded with a pop.
King Wei looked at the flames in a daze.
"After Aweng and Aye came to the throne, they couldn't wait to purge their old ministers. I didn't know why at first. Later, I found out after reading the history books. Only thieves who usurped the throne would do this."
