Great Zhou Tianzi

Tuolongguan has never experienced a single war since its establishment, so it is worthy of its name to say that it has never been breached.The military of the State of Wei knew the mystery of this place well, so they often sent some generals who were about to be promoted here to be the chief guards of the pass. Once the term of office expired, they would get a commendation order for meritorious service in the pass, and then they would be promoted smoothly.

The current guard general Wu Yizhi is also in the same situation. Relying on him as the brother-in-law of the general, his career in the army has been smooth. Although the guard general is not an official general, he is also a general in name. After staying honestly for two years, the nominal general has become a real general. Seeing that his term of office will be up in one and a half months, he is in a very good mood.

In fact, the king of Wei did not issue any order to close the customs. The mastermind behind all this was Ji Jia, the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He asked Sima Hui to come here with a batch of property three days ago, and successfully bribed Wu Yizhi to let him In the name of closing the pass, stop Da Zhou's send-off team!

The person Ji Jie sent to spy on the intelligence brought him the news, and now that he knew the inside tricks, he decided to follow suit.

There are only a few defenders who have fallen asleep leaning against the city wall on the top of the city. This is basically the case every day. After all, no one has ever attacked here. In the eyes of the defenders, what they are defending is basically a possible There is no pass.

The man quickly climbed up to the top of the city, took off the rope and tied one end firmly to a wall, then lowered the other end, and the men in black below climbed up the hanging rope one after another, making no sound at all during the period. Not issued.

Ji Jie was very satisfied with the performance of the assassin team. In less than 10 minutes, dozens of people successfully climbed up the city wall. They acted together, knocked out a dozen sleeping defenders, and controlled the entire city and even the city gate.

The city gate opened slowly, and Ji Jie waved his hand and shouted: "Warriors, rush in with me!"

The remaining members of the assassin team rushed into the city gate with Ji Jie, followed by the light cavalry and archers led by Ji Jian, and the heavy armored infantry stayed beside the convoy.

All of a sudden there were shouts of killing, and the sleeping officers and soldiers of Wei State were all dreaming. It wasn't until the cold weapons touched their necks that they realized the seriousness of the matter.

Wu Yizhi jumped up from the bed at the moment before Ji Jie rushed into the big tent, just took the long sword in his hand, and before he could draw it out of the scabbard, he was surrounded and had to abandon his weapon and surrender.

This is really bloodless. Ji Jie took advantage of the slack defensive awareness of the defenders, and the scenes he showed them before dark, successfully dispelled their little bit of defensiveness. victory.

A group of disheveled defending officers and soldiers lined up and knelt on the ground, including their highest officer Wu Yizhi. Only then did he understand the situation in front of him. In his opinion, as long as the person who captured him was not Qin Jun, Then it's no big deal.

"Ji Jie, what do you want to do?" Wu Yizhi asked sharply: "Do you know that this is the Tuolong Pass of our Great Wei Kingdom, are you not afraid that our Great Wei Tiejun will sweep your Great Zhou to the ground?"

"You fucking shut up!" Ji Jian gave Wu Yizhi a big mouth, which made him vomit blood and lost two front teeth.

Ji Jie said with a smile: "How dare you talk about the Great Wei Tiejun without shame? Since Qin Xiaogong appointed Shang Yang to reform the law, when did your Wei State take advantage of the battlefield and a large area of ​​land was taken away by the Qin army? It’s not easy for the so-called Great Wei Tiejun to protect themselves, but you still want to wipe out my Great Zhou? You try it. It is estimated that when your army walks out of Wei State, the Qin army will take advantage of the gap and attack you!”

Wu Yizhi was speechless. Although this guy is a fool, he still understands such a simple truth.

"Then you can pass the test!" Wu Yizhi's tone softened a lot.

Ji Jie waved his hand, shook his head and said, "General Wu, you really know how to judge the situation. Who stood at the top of the city in the evening and told me that he was ordered to seal the pass? You have to find out, the current Tuolong Pass In my hands, I can pass whenever I want, and I don’t need you to remind me!”

Beads of sweat appeared on Wu Yizhi's forehead. He never thought that the matter would develop to such a point. Three days ago, Sima Hui found him, and after making the request, he agreed without thinking. It's not a big deal anyway. , but also get a considerable amount of money, why not do it?

"Your Excellency Zhao Wenjun, I, Wu Yizhi, have no eyes!"

"Shut up!" Ji Jie looked at Wu Yizhi with deep eyes, and said with a smile: "Generally speaking, I want to thank you. If you didn't let me go, I would never have thought of using such a method." Get the Tuolong Pass into your own hands! Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. After you go back, tell King Wei that I, Ji Jie, borrowed his Tuolong Pass for use, but such a good grand pass was sent here. A bear like you came to guard, he is really blind, since there is no capable man in your Great Wei Kingdom, I will help you guard it first, and I promise that I will never let the Qin army get close to this place!"

Wu Yizhi was dumbfounded. Seeing that his term of office was about to expire, he was about to go back to be the commander of the infantry without hesitation. Who would want to lose his pass at this time, let alone a promotion, whether he can keep his head is unknown.

Ji Xueling's carriage entered the customs under the guard of heavy armored infantry. She who had just fallen asleep was pleasantly surprised to learn that the customs had been controlled by Ji Jie.

Wu Yizhi and others were imprisoned in a damp dungeon. Just like the pass, the dungeon has never been used since it was built. They were lucky to be the first batch of guests to "stay in".

Ji Jie didn't make such a decision on a whim. After the bloody battle against the Black Arrow Gang last time, he realized that fighting the enemy in a flat place is not good for him. It would be much better if he could have a solid city wall as the foundation. .But in the entire Great Zhou, except for the decent city walls and moats in the royal city, the rest of the cities did not do enough in terms of defense. They can't occupy the royal city, it would be a rebellion!

Tuolong Ridge where Tuolong Pass is located is a valley surrounded by mountains and cliffs on all sides, with an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of acres. Wei Guo built this Tuolong Pass at the only entrance and exit of the valley. It is difficult to enter from other directions. It is still difficult to reach the sky, as long as a few hundred soldiers are placed in the pass, even if the invading enemy has thousands of troops, there will be no help.

"Ji Jian, send someone to call the 100 people who stayed in Zhaocheng immediately!" Ji Jie ordered: "Be sure to let them arrive here before noon tomorrow to take over the defense of Tuolong Pass!"

"Decree!" Ji Jian immediately went to do it.

Only Ji Xueling and Ji Jie were left in the big tent. She pouted and said, "Why didn't you say hello to me in advance for such a big operation?"

"My aunt, what you want is to be invisible!" Ji Jie said with a wry smile: "Let's release the news in advance, what if the secret is leaked, and we may be the ones who will be imprisoned by then?"

Ji Xueling couldn't agree with him on this point, so she immediately changed the subject: "Brother Jie, if I'm not mistaken, you want to use Tuolong Ridge as a base and then develop your own power, right?"

smart woman!

That's what Ji Jie thinks. The poor people in Zhaocheng are weak and have too little development potential, so they can't meet the requirements of becoming a rear area. Looking at hundreds of miles around, Tuolongling is the most suitable place.The hundreds of thousands of fertile land in the valley can support more farmers, and more farmers can recruit more soldiers.

The most important thing is the Tuolong Pass, which is controlled by one man and not opened by ten thousand men. You don’t need to spend a penny to stand here. As long as things like today don’t happen, no matter how many people you come to attack, it will be in vain.

Ji Jian arranged the messengers and came back to accept further instructions from Ji Jie.

Ji Jie decided to let Ji Jian stay here. Although this pass is not important in the eyes of Wei people, they will not just watch it being occupied by others. It is particularly important to fight for and guard the pass.

In addition, people were sent to recruit people in the name of Mr. Zhaowen in the surrounding counties. Anyone who was willing to come to Tuolongling to settle and cultivate would be exempted from taxes for three years, and the seeds needed for housing and farming would be provided.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Ji Jian gave a thumbs up sincerely.

In the early morning of the next day, Sima Hui walked out of the tent and was surprised to find that the tents of the convoy and Ji Jie were gone!

"It can't be that they left early in the morning and deliberately didn't say hello to us!" said one of his subordinates.

"Fart!" Sima Hui cursed, pointed to his nose and said, "Think about it with your butt, how could there be so many people moving together without making any noise, you sleep like dead pigs , Is this captain the same as you?"

Sima Hui accidentally noticed that something was wrong with the top of the city, and he was taken aback when he took a closer look. Oh my god, why did the banner with the word "Wei" hang up instead of "Zhaowenjun"?

I rubbed my eyes, I read that right, Ji Jie was standing on the top of the wall smiling and waving at him, and there were also Ji Jian and Ji Xueling!
