Chapter 361 Can This City Gate Be Opened?

In five days, not to mention Yanmen Pass, even Chen Jin received the expedited [-] miles.

Chen Jin issued five decrees in succession, ordering Jiang Yuanxi to immediately disband the army and return to Danyang County.

Fortunately, he was not stupid enough to make Jiang Yuanxi bow his head and plead guilty. He only said that he knew Jiang Yuanxi's loyalty to the imperial court and praised her for her actions. But now that the imperial court has retreated, there is no need to attack the White Eyebrow Army for the time being. Let her return to Danyang County first.

When Jiang Yuanxi received the imperial decree, he thought that this imperial decree must have been written by the veteran officials in the court urging Chen Jin to do so. It was nothing more than to appease her first, and then to be courteous. If she did not follow the decree, she could be labeled as a traitor. thief.

Jiang Yuanxi invited the angel who came to pass the decree to rest in the camp with a good voice, and continued to do whatever he was supposed to do when he turned his head.

Jiang Boyong had already received the news that the imperial court's royal division had begun to gather again. To the imperial court and Chen Jin, the white-browed army was just a mob. He was so stupid that Peng Gao was forced to leave. For the court, the White Eyebrow Army was no longer a threat. They would go out to attack again after the next year's harvest, when there was enough food. At that time, the White Eyebrow Army would be dead.

However, Jiang Yuanxi was not included.

As far as the court is concerned, Peng Wenshan is not even qualified to carry Jiang Yuanxi's shoes.

They were far away in the capital city and didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the Northland. Naturally, they didn't know that it was Jiang Yuanxi who was in charge of all this. They all thought that Jiang, Zheng, and Cui's family were acting under the banner of "Danyang County Magistrate".

What kind of character is Peng Wenshan on the board?
Who are the Jiang, Zheng, and Cui families on the cards?
The two cannot be compared in the same breath.

The rebellion of aristocratic families is different from the rebellion of ordinary people, not to mention that there is still the stable Zheng family here.

Although the Anding Zheng family is not as good as the Zheng family in Xingyang, just seeing that the person in charge of the Zheng family is the only general since the founding of Beiliang, he understands how terrifying a family with the help of the Zheng family is.

Both the imperial court and Chen Jin thought so. Didn't Kangshui and other seven counties surrender without any resistance?

Not to mention the fact that some smart people guessed that Jiang Yuanxi's goal was after Yanmen Pass, and they were even more chilled.

Yanmen Pass is the barrier from the north to the capital. Once Yanmen Pass is seized, you can drive directly to the capital.

For his dragon chair, Chen Jin didn't dare to be careless this time, and planned to send [-] Jingmen troops and [-] sergeants to go north.

It's not that he doesn't want to send more sergeants, but that he has no food.

Chen Jin listened to the old minister's advice, and finally withdrew the tax collection order, and issued an imperial decree, allowing the tax to be reduced to [-]% of the rent in the coming year.

The common people are easily satisfied, as long as they see the hope of surviving, they will not commit the act of beheading. The turmoil in various places has gradually subsided under this imperial decree, and even Jiang Yuanxi's Danyang County has not many disaster victims to vote.

Due to the failure of the battle, the granary in Yuyang was seized again. The court wanted to open a granary to provide food, but it could do nothing. This time, Chen Jin gritted his teeth and squeezed out the grain and grass for the [-] soldiers to go north. For this reason, he also took the lead in advocating thrift in the palace. , the queen mother was the first to respond strictly for her son's throne.

As for wanting to brazenly borrow food from the aristocratic family, Chen Jin didn't even dream of doing it. Now that the aristocratic family didn't follow him, he had already prayed to God and worshiped Buddha.

As soon as he got the news that the royal master of the court was going to dispatch again, Jiang Yuanxi knew that he had to be quick to take down Yanmen Pass before the master Wang arrived at Yanmen Pass.

Jiang Yuanxi reined in his horse and stopped twenty miles before Yanmen Pass, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers quickly set up camp.

Hu Qufeng and others rode around Jiang Yuanxi one after another, looking at the Yanmen Pass in the distance, they also knew that the imperial court began to gather Wang Shi.

"How many days do you think it will take us to take down Yanmen Pass?" Jiang Yuanxi asked in a deep voice.

As for the matter of not getting the Yanmen Pass, it was out of her scope of thinking.

Once they fail to take down Yanmen Pass before the royal master comes, they have to retreat. Without Yanmen Pass as a support, Wang Shi can easily take back the seven cities including Chaisang and Yuyang through Yanmen Pass. More importantly, once they see them at that time Showing fatigue, the sheriffs of the Seven Counties City will definitely cooperate with Master Wang to turn against the water in order to survive.

And at that time, Danyang County will become a turtle in the urn and can only be slaughtered.

Like Peng Wenshan, she didn't plan to use her life to fill in the king's teacher. Once she did, she would lose the support of the people and it would be like digging her own grave. Therefore, Yanmen Pass must be taken.

"From the capital to Yanmen Pass, it will take five days to march in a hurry." Hu Bugui said coldly.

It is not a trivial matter for a [-] army to march, and it will take five days to travel, and this is the case that they will not camp along the way.

"So we only have four days." Jiang Yuanxi narrowed his eyes slightly.

It took four days to take down Yanmen Pass, and one day to recuperate and welcome Master Wang.

"Yanmen Pass is surrounded by dangerous mountains and has city walls, so there is no use for any strategy, we can only force it." Qu Chengwen frowned, "The [-] soldiers in Yanmen Pass will definitely stick to it, and they will not take the initiative to attack until the arrival of Master Wang. .”

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Jiang Boyong, with a trace of expectation in his eyes, "Mr. Wulang, can the gate of Yanmen Pass be opened at this moment?"

The city gates of Yuyang were all manned by Jiang Boyong. According to the habit of the two brothers and sisters taking one step and watching three steps, there is no reason why Yanmenguan should not be a secret hand, right?
Even Hu Bugui and Zheng Haoliang looked at Jiang Boyong expectantly. If someone inside could open the city gate for them, not only would they be able to take Yanmen Pass as soon as possible, but they wouldn't need to die so many people.

Jiang Boyong shook his head against several staring gazes, "The city gate can't be opened."

Facing the suspicious eyes of Shang Hu Bugui and others, Jiang Boyong rolled his eyes and said angrily, "It's easy for you to enter the army as Cypriots? The sergeants at Yanmen Pass are all the late emperor's confidant army, and they haven't recruited new people for many years. .Besides, after the Yuyang incident, the army has already been cleaned up, and some people have been kicked out of the army. There is really no one who can open the city gate."

It is because the Yanmenguan army is Chen Xiong's confidant army, and they are loyal to Beiliang. They don't expect Yanmenguan to bow their heads like the seven cities of Chaisanga. They will definitely fight to the last.

After confirming that Jiang Boyong really had no second hand to secretly open the city gate, Hu Bugui and others were a little disappointed.

"Hey, I thought I could be lighter." Hu Bugui muttered.

Jiang Boyong rolled his eyes again.

If you can't open the city gate and cooperate with the outside, you can only attack by force.

"Everyone, the first battle, who will fight first?" Jiang Yuanxi and the others asked quietly after finishing speaking.
