In the pre-Sui Dynasty, Shangzhou was not called Shangzhou, but Shangluo County. This place has its own legend. It was here that Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, invaded Guanzhong and defeated the mighty men of Western Chu.
Since ancient times, Guanzhong has been known as the foundation of kings and hegemons. Once the four passes are closed, they will become a country of their own. If you open the Guanzhong to the east, you can compete for hegemony in the world.
But these four passes, except Tongguan, used to be called Hangu Pass. The other three passes are actually not absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack.
For example, Wuguan in Shangzhou is difficult to defend. Because Wuguan is too long from Guanzhong, and there are many Qinling mountain roads along the way, supply is difficult. Therefore, those who attack Guanzhong since ancient times often choose to attack Wuguan from the southwest and then enter.
Guanzhong.
Of course, in history, there were also some tough men who entered Guanzhong from Tongguan.
To say that Wuguan is tasteless is not tasteless. To say that it is not tasteless is also a bit like tasteless. Of course, if Nanyang County is under the control of the Tang Dynasty, then Wuguan is not tasteless. As long as a large number of troops are stationed in Nanyang, who would dare to
If he takes the Wuguan pass and attacks the pass, he will surely die without a place to bury him.
But unfortunately, Nanyang County is currently not under the control of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhu Can is currently in control of Nanyang.
Zhu Can is known as the terminator of mankind and the master of destruction. People nowadays generally call him a beast and the ogre king.
Thanos only wiped out half of the human race, but Zhu Can did not. When he conquered a place, it was basically the passage of locusts. Except for every needle and thread, everything else was wiped out, including humans.
In terms of neurosis, he is even worse than the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and he belongs to the late stage of anti-humanity.
After Zhu Can raised his army, he was known as the King of Garuda. This title is undoubtedly very "international" now, but in the Tang Dynasty, it was just a second-rate title.
Because Garuda is a big bird in Buddhism. There is no doubt that Zhu Can is a Buddhist, otherwise he would not claim to be the 'King of Birds'.
In fact, Zhu Can's cruelty is indeed cruel, but he is also useless.
Last year, Lu Zizang, the governor of Dengzhou, Ma Yuangui, the comfort envoy of Shannan, and Zhou Chao, the governor of Xuanzhou, all defeated Zhu Can. Even Zheng Yuanxuan, the Taichang Qing who played in feudal superstition, led his troops to defeat Zhu Can with the support of the prince.
Zhu Can.
But, I didn’t completely beat this guy to pieces.
Not long ago, Lu Zizang and Ma Yuangui underestimated their enemy and were eaten by Zhu Can.
Now that both Dengzhou and Nanyang are in Zhu Can's hands, Shannan Road is seeking to arrest the ambassador, and Changping King Li Shuliang can only lead an army of 30,000 to garrison Wuguan in Shangzhou.
In Wuguan, Li Shuliang was thinking about how to defeat the enemy. Originally, he was not in a hurry, and he could kill Zhu Can by fighting slowly. But not long ago, news came from Chang'an that Li Shentong, king of Huai'an, killed Yu Wenhuaji in Hebei.
This made Li Shuliang unable to sit still. Is there anyone in the clan who is better than me?
That absolutely won't work!
So he summoned Yu Yongning, the governor of Shangzhou, Zhou Chao, the governor of Xuanzhou, and Zheng Yuanxuan, the deputy envoy of Shannan Road, to discuss how to kill Zhu Can.
"Your Majesty, although most of Zhu Can's men are a mob, they still have nearly 200,000 troops. If we attack forcefully, we will suffer heavy losses. Please think again." The speaker was Yu Yongning, the governor of Shangzhou.
Is his name familiar? Yes, he has a younger brother named Yu Zhining.
The Yu family of Guanlong, descendants of Yu Jin from the Eight Pillar States of the Western Wei Dynasty, can be regarded as the backbone of the Guanlong clan.
"Since you said he was a rabble, how could he be my opponent of the Tang Dynasty cavalry? Yu, the governor, was overly worried." Li Shuliang refuted Yu Yongning cleanly.
Yu Yongning was speechless. You only listened to half of what I was told, right? You couldn't hear the 200,000 soldiers, right? Even if there were 200,000 pigs, it would have taken several days for the 30,000 Tang soldiers to capture them.
"Your Majesty, although Zhu Can's 200,000 troops are composed of old and weak men, they are more powerful than others and should not be underestimated. Otherwise, Lu Zizang and Ma Yuangui will serve as a warning."
"Bullshit." Li Shuliang said unhappily: "How can they be compared with me?" As he spoke, he banged the table with his palms.
Look clearly, the person sitting in front of you now is King Changping of the Tang Dynasty, the King Changping who destroyed the Western Qin Dynasty!
"Prince Yu, I came to you to discuss how to defeat the enemy. If Governor Yu is so timid, then go back and continue preparing food and grass for the people. There is no need for Governor Yu to participate in such a major event."
Yu Yongning moved his lips, but finally remained silent.
He understood clearly that King Changping was determined to fuck Zhu Can and could not get him back. In this case, why should he bother to talk. Gu
Because he didn't even think about it in front of Li Shuliang.
Zheng Yuanzhan said tactfully: "Your Majesty, if you want to attack Zhu Can, do you need to ask the saint for instructions first?"
Li Shuliang's eyes squinted, "I thought that Zheng Shijun had defeated Zhu Can before, so he would not say such depressing words. Why, you are also afraid?"
Zheng Yuanzhen was speechless. Could the situation at that time be the same as it is now? When he attacked Zhu Can, the latter was short of soldiers and food. Now Zhu Can has degenerated from a human into a beast, directly treating the people as rations and coercing them under his command.
There are two hundred thousand people, how can it be the same?
"If you don't cower, Zhu Can is really cruel. You can't be careful."
Zheng Yuanxuan tried his best to persuade him.
Yu Yongning was a little strange. Zheng Yuanxuan was recommended by the prince. I didn't hear that he had a good relationship with Prince Changping. Why was he so dedicated to helping?
As Li Zhiyun's recognized Wolong, Li Shuliang had his own reasons. He couldn't listen to Zheng Yuanxuan's advice and said directly: "Zhu Can is not a Turk. We in the Tang Dynasty don't need to use female prostitutes to marry, so don't be afraid. Whoever shrinks back will be killed!"
"
It was quiet now and no one spoke.
Zheng Yuanxuan's face turned red because Li Shuliang was mocking him. These two words "Turk" and "female actress" reminded him of a history of humiliation.
In the early years of Yining in the Sui Dynasty, Zheng Yuanzhen and Li Chen, the Duke of Xiangwu County, went on an envoy to the Turks and brought a large number of female actresses to the Turks Shibi Khan to ease the relationship between the Turks and Turks. Although this was a secret and the common people did not know it, internal
But the officials knew it very well.
Moreover, Zheng Yuanzhen actually took the blame for Li Yuan. When Li Yuan raised his army, he made an agreement with the Turks to invade Guanzhong and send the women and children to the Turks. However, after Li Yuan succeeded, he immediately regretted it and only sent some female actors to appease the Turks.
But no matter what, this kind of behavior is shameful, and it means bowing to the Turkic barbarians.
Li Shuliang is undoubtedly rubbing salt into Zheng Yuanxuan's wounds by scolding others without exposing his shortcomings.
If you think about Zheng Yuanxuan's identity as the Zheng family in Xingyang, you can understand why Zheng Yuanxuan was so angry.
What a shame!
Zhou Chao, the governor of Xuanzhou, always acted honestly and transparently. He would do whatever his superiors said without saying a word.
Li Shuliang's self-confidence has exploded since he killed Xue Ju, and he feels that fighting is just that, and it is not difficult.
The Western Qin Dynasty was destroyed by me, so it is not easy to capture Zhu Can.
Dad, give me the whole Xue Ju and Zhu Can. Am I weaker than Li Shentong?
Li Shentong can kill Yu Wenhuaji, but I, Li Shuliang, can't kill Zhu Can?
joke!
Dry!
After Yu Yongning and Zheng Yuanxuan's remonstrance failed, Li Shuliang said, "Those who flinch will be killed," completely turning the military camp into Li Shuliang's hall of speech.
Finally, the resolution was passed.
Send troops to attack Zhu Can!
Zheng Yuanxuan returned to his tent worriedly and sat on a soft cushion in silence for a long time. Finally, he decided to tell the prince the news and asked the prince to persuade the saint to stop King Changping.
This time he came here because the prince finally got the opportunity to lead troops, so he must not leave any black spots on his resume.
Spreading out the yellow paper, Zheng Yuanxuan quickly wrote a secret letter with his pen, and then called for his personal companion.
"Go to Chang'an quickly and deliver this letter to the prince. Be quick!"
