Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 143 Outsmarting Yangping Pass

There are a lot of good fields in the river, and according to the salt, there are [-] armored soldiers. Among the feudal towns, except for Hedong, Xuanwu, and Heshuo, they are considered extremely powerful.

It's a pity that Wang Chongying couldn't be persuaded. Even if his elder brother Wang Chongrong was around, his subordinates had two minds. Otherwise, Wang Chongrong would not have been killed because of his subordinate An Shiru's betrayal.

Hezhong was suspicious and couldn't agree, what's more, Wang Chongying's arrow sores on his shoulders recurred. According to the original history, it was only four or five years ago.

Now Wang Chongying must be most concerned about how to inherit the properties of Hezhong and Shanguo in a stable manner.

In Li Ye's letter to Wang Chongying, he didn't say much, and his words were not polite.

"After Wang Jiedu, who should be the Hezhong Jiedu's queen, and who should be the Shanguo Jiedu's queen, Wang Jiedu should examine them, and don't make the same mistakes as your brother Wang Chongrong."

As for the matter of telling the world, Li Ye was a little hesitant.

Tell the people all over the world that the imperial court was blackmailed by Li Keyong. Even though Li Keyong is feared by all the vassals, the imperial court has no face!

Jing Xiang said: "Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly. The imperial court has been weak for a long time. If it suddenly appeared in front of the towns with a strong posture, has your Majesty thought about what will happen?"

Li Ye's eyes were focused, and he said solemnly: "All the towns in the world may attack in groups, and Jing Aiqing thinks this is a sign of weakness."

Jing Xiang nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the battle against Xuanwu in this edict can be said to be useless for the Hedong army. The meaning of this battle is futile, and they will ask for huge rewards for futility. It is clear that Li Ke of Hedong has a thief's heart!"

"Okay, I will let Li Keyong announce the scandal to the world. Li Keyong and Zhu Wen are deadly enemies. What I mean is that Li Keyong is not as good as Zhu Wen. With Li Keyong's temper, it is bound to be with Zhu Wen. Xuanwu went to war again.

I will find another chance to restore Zhu Wen's official position, and let the two of them bite the dog. "

After discussing the matter of Hedong, Zhao Xi said, "Your Majesty, the king of Xiping County, Yang Fugong, is here."

"pass!"

Not long after, Yang Fugong entered.

Li Ye said: "Xingyuan Mansion, the land where Yangzhou anointed Yu, I can't bear to be destroyed in the flames of war. The king of Xiping County is willing to speak for me."

Yang Fugong said: "This is what the servant girl promised His Majesty, so what's the excuse?"

"Okay, come here, give the Prince of Xiping a guard of honor, send three hundred soldiers to escort him, and go to Xingyuan Mansion today."

"promise!"

Yang Fugong didn't expect that His Majesty let him go out easily, isn't he afraid that he would turn against the Emperor if he ran to Xingyuan Mansion?To be honest, he was really moved.

If you can achieve this position, don't talk about loyalty and disloyalty. Even if you are greatly moved and are willing to die in return, when you are faced with huge benefits, you will immediately talk about this moment and that moment.

Loyalty is based on interests, and betrayal only depends on how many chips you have.

As soon as Yang Fugong went out, he saw the full guard of honor of the county king in a short while.

Yiwei, the king of the county, has four mates in my battle, four standing melons, two lying melons, and two Guduo.

A pair of red Luo embroidered four-dragon crank covers.Two pairs of Jinrui straw umbrellas sold by Hongluo, two pairs of four season flower fans embroidered by Hongluo, and two pairs of peacock fans embroidered by Qingluo.

There are eight teams of flag guns and two teams of bar flags.The second team of Leopard Tail Gun and the second team of Yidao.Team Six.

I usually use two sets of red umbrellas and two fans each, and I have a whole set of sticks, standing melons, lying melons, and Guduo.Second horse team.Eight people were cited before, six people were followed behind, plus servants, there were more than three hundred people.Plus three hundred armored soldiers, quite majestic.

"I never thought that I, Yang Fugong, would still be here today."

Under the red Luo cover, Yang Fugong sat upright in the center, the official of the royal palace sounded, and the guard of honor was drawn up, heading straight to Yangping Pass.

Hanzhong has a large area, but most of it is mountainous. The most fertile place is the Hanzhong Plain, where Xingyuan Mansion is located.

Xingyuan Mansion is located next to the Han River, and the area of ​​the Hanzhong Plain is only less than one tenth of that of Hanzhong, but it has [-]% of the population and [-]% of the land in Hanzhong.

And Yangping Pass is the throat of Xingyuan Mansion. To the south of Yangping Pass are Yang'an Pass, Baishui Pass, Jiameng Pass, and Jiange. This is the throat of entering Sichuan, and the terrain is extremely dangerous.

Yangping Pass is built along the Han River, with mountains on the left and right.

Zhang Yi, the commander of the Zuo Yulin Army, has found out that Yang Shouliang, the Jiedu envoy of Shannan West Road, has set up twelve military camps in the dangerous places on the mountains around Yangping Pass.

Zhang Yi tried to fight several times, but all of them lost his soldiers and generals, but to no avail.If you want to continue the strong attack, you don't know how many soldiers and horses will be spent.

Li Ye shook his head. He didn't know how Li Maozhen brought down the Xingyuan Mansion. When His Majesty the Emperor came here, he realized that the facts were not as simple as he thought.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao’s attack on Zhang Lu in Hanzhong was also blocked by this pass. The army spent tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but they could not conquer it. If the beast tide broke out in the mountains and destroyed Zhang Lu’s army stronghold in the mountains, the history of the Three Kingdoms would be different. will be rewritten.

When they came to the barracks, Zuo Yulin Guard, Zuo Shenwei Army, and Zuo Huwei Army had already assembled.

His Majesty the Emperor entered the big tent, and the commanders and envoys of all armies had already arrived. A sand table was set up in the tent, and the terrain of Hanzhong was fully displayed on the table.

Zhang Yidao: "Your Majesty, the last general thought that he would bypass the lower reaches of the Han River, go upstream from the Han River, and suddenly descend on Xingyuan Mansion. The rebels would be defenseless, and Hanzhong would be able to defeat them in one fell swoop."

Li Ye shook his head, Sima Yi used this tactic to lead 5 people up the river, but it was useless.

"There are many emergency places along the Hanshui River. There are many places where one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it. Don't take risks."

Zhu Zhen said: "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead the Zuo Huwei army to find a road in the mountains. If they can cross the Motian Ridge, they can also reach Xingyuan Mansion."

His Majesty the Emperor still shook his head.

An Fujiang, the commander of the Zuo Shenwei Army, did not speak. His Majesty had already dispatched 600 of his troops. Just now, in Yang Fugong's guard of honor, he seemed to see Zhu Wanfu, the commander of the school under his command, holding the guard of honor. It was quite funny.

He could vaguely guess what the emperor was going to do.

About an hour passed.

Li Ye said: "The whole army of Zuo Yulin Guard, the whole army of Zuo Shenwei, the whole army of Zuo Huwei, the whole army of cavalry, all the six armies of cavalry, all left and right of Shence Army, left and right, stayed in Feng County to take care of the food and grass."

"promise!"

……

When Yang Fugong's brigade arrived at Yangping Pass, the guard was Yang Shouliang's son Zi Yong.

Yang Shouliang's real surname is Zi. Although he is Yang Fugong's fake son, he will not follow Yang Fugong's surname Yang for generations.

As Yangping Pass is the throat of Hanzhong, he is not worried about using other generals, and his own son is naturally the most at ease.

Seeing the large group of people coming, the defenders were shocked, Zi Yong climbed up the tower himself, and at a glance he saw Yang Fugong in the middle, wearing a python suit and a fish bag.

"Why did Grandpa come here?"

Yang Fugong knew Zi Yong very well, and said outside the closed door: "It's not about your father, open and close the door."

Zi Yong looked at the armored soldiers behind Yang Fugong, he hesitated, and said: "Grandpa, it's not that Sun is rude, there are too many armored soldiers, I'm afraid of accidents, can you let the armored soldiers retreat a thousand steps and set up camp, Sun Zi let Grandpa enter the pass."

Hearing this, Yang Fugong was also happy, there were some things he couldn't say, but in fact Yang Fugong was dissatisfied with these guards from the very beginning, he felt as if he was being escorted.

Yang Fugong also knew that these people were obviously guards, so they might not listen to him, and it was a hidden danger to have this group of armored soldiers by his side.

He tried to say to the guard commander Cao Jinsheng: "What does Commander Cao think?"

Cao Jinsheng didn't take it seriously, and said: "Your Majesty said, everything is under the orders of the king of Xiping County, and the last general will take orders."

Yang Fugong didn't expect Cao Jinsheng to be so eloquent. After Cao Jinsheng retreated a thousand steps away, the gate of Yangping Pass opened slowly without Yang Fugong's urging.

Zi Yong didn't go downstairs to greet him personally, but stood on the tower, staring at Cao Jinsheng and his group of armored soldiers without blinking.

"Strange, why did this group of people start a fire in broad daylight, are they cooking?"

"Something is wrong, why is there such a big smoke."

"not good!"

When Zi Yong came to his senses, he heard loud shouts of killing at the closed gate, and the armored soldiers who were a thousand steps away also moved quickly towards Yangping Pass.

As for Li Ye, who was dozens of miles away, he was very happy when he saw the beacon smoke rising from Yangping Pass.

"The six cavalry armies, don't stop, follow me to take Yangping Pass first, and the rest of the armies are not allowed to stop, so move forward quickly."

"promise!"
