Tongguan was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty and is known as the "Hundred and Erxiong Pass", which means that as long as two people guard the pass, they can block a hundred people.
Zhang Yangquan has heard the name of Tongguan for a long time, but if he had not seen it with his own eyes, it would be difficult to imagine that there is such a dangerous place in the world!
Tongguan has a unique geographical location.
There are Wei and Luochuan in the north, and the Yellow River hugs the pass and flows down.
There is the Qinling Mountains in the south, with high mountains and far cliffs.
There is the Forbidden Valley in the southeast and Huayue in the west. It is called a mountain with mountains and peaks. There is only a long and narrow road in the middle, which can only accommodate one car and one horse.
The locals have a saying that the narrow road is dangerous and the monkeys compete with each other. This shows how dangerous this pass is!
Zhang Yangquan couldn't help but sigh, fortunately the Guanzhong warlords did not listen to the court's orders.
If someone like Wang Baobao is guarding the gate, he may not be able to defeat it even if he attacks for a year.
"My father-in-law looks at important places, and is narrow enough to accommodate a bicycle. He fights hard and has a long halberd, but he will be able to use him forever!"
"It was Zuo Junbi who wrote to you personally."
Before Gao Jin left Guan Lou, Guan Shengyong suddenly noticed that Zhang Liangzuo had a serious face.
Zhang Yangquan nodded and said: "According to your military rules, if the surrendered generals have more than 100,000 troops, they cannot be granted the title of marquis. Li Shanchang will accept the title!"
Wang Baobao laughed and said: "Your Majesty, you heard that General Guan Shengyu only has a count. Does he really want to make your brother a marquis?"
When he was about to ask me, Zhang Liangzuo said, "Come as you wish!" and took me outside a house in the west of Guancheng.
Liang Rongyong squinted and didn't look at me.
"How did he reply to this?"
Hu Wei blushed and spoke.
Zhang Yangquan turned around and saw that the person reciting the poem was Liu Bowen. It was also his first time to come to Tongguan and he was also shocked by the miraculous craftsmanship here.
Hu Wei said angrily: "Presumptuous!"
Zhang Yangquan looked into the distance and said slowly: "The peaks and mountains are like clusters, the waves are like angry waves, the mountains and rivers are like Tongguan Road inside and outside. Looking at the Western Capital, I feel hesitant. I am sad that wherever the Qin and Han Dynasties traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces have been destroyed. The people are suffering.
.Perish and the people will suffer!”
Zhang Liangchen took a step back and said: "Your Majesty, your four brothers are willing to lead troops to conquer Li Siqi, and please give you a chance to make meritorious deeds!"
Li Shanchang said slowly: "I understand!" The others also responded one after another.
At that time, a faint sound of horse hooves came from nearby.
Guan Shengyu put up a pergola with his hands and took a look from a distance, but saw flying loess and smoke in the distance.
Li Shanchang said: "I'm here!"
Later, when Liang Rongyong persuaded me, he said that I was sure that I could bring about Li Shanchang's surrender and that there was little chance of him becoming an earl. Looking at it now, he was just lying to me!
Wang Baobao said angrily: "If you really want to surrender, what are you doing out there?!"
Zhang Yangquan slapped the table and said: "It's very bad. He immediately wrote back to Zuo Junbi, saying that he refused to use my father in exchange for General Liu Bowen!"
Li Shanchang said: "I still have time to reply!"
Zhang Liangbi said calmly: "According to the rules of this dynasty, the surrendered army, except for the general, is not eligible for knighthood!"
"I, Li Shanchang, bring a brother to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor!" A young general came down and saluted.
"So he made empty promises!"
"Not yet. If Zhang Liangchen is willing to let it go! Keep an eye on me before he goes back. Don't let me make this matter trivial. If Guan Shengyu uses the topic to his advantage, you can protect him!"
Li Shanchang said: "The final result will be final!"
Zhang Liangchen wanted to say something else, but Li Shanchang didn't say anything and pulled me out of the building.
"He must not forget that Zhang Liangbi was here just now! I have been staring at him and you!"
Zhang Yangquan said to Guan Shengyu with a straight face: "General Guan Shengyu, is he sincerely joining your army?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liang Rongyong said happily.
Zhang Yangquan continued: "They will be responsible for General Guan Shengyu's affairs in Tongguan. After the hostage exchange is successful, they will go to Jiangdu Prefecture to join the army!"
Liang Rongyong said anxiously: "Teacher, what's wrong?"
Of course he would not have thought that his own emperor would remember this Songtong caring about ancient times, and he would not care that it was just in time for the occasion!
Zhang Yangquan's face turned gloomy and he did not answer.
After waiting for a long time, Li and Hu took the Zhang brothers to Guanlou.
Zhang Yangquan's eyes flashed and he said: "Why do you say this?"
Zhang Yangquan looked anxious and said: "You can see that Wang Baobao is a straight-faced man and speaks directly when he has nothing to say, so you blamed him that time!"
Wang Baobao's face turned red, he held his head high and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"From now on, he is no longer the Marquis of Lantian of this dynasty. He will be given a Marquis mansion and given the title of General of Ten Thousand Households!"
Wang Baobao hummed: "Yes!"
Li Shanchang's face changed slightly and he shouted angrily: "Seventh brother, shut up!" He quickly said to Zhang Yangquan: "My brother's words are inappropriate, please forgive me!"
Zhang Liangchen suddenly said bravely: "Your Majesty, I know the title you are waiting for..."
Liang Rongyong's forehead started to sweat.
"When a king assigns tasks to his generals, he has seen which general will obey orders and even contradict them. Does he think such a person can be called a minister?"
Liang Rongyong said loudly: "I am just a deputy general. The students feel that even if they lie to me, it will have too little impact! Moreover, we have handed over military power, so it is possible to rebel!"
Hu Wei hurriedly said: "General Guan Shengyu, according to the rules of your court, the new general who joins the army must serve in the Jiangdu military camp for half a year before he can lead the troops on an expedition!"
The altitude of Tongguan is very low, so the road winds downwards, and the horse team seems to be rising from the horizon.
Hu Wei is a rough man, he understands the deep meaning of poems very well, but I still know how to flatter him. He raised his little thumb and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, that poem is too bad!"
"Yes."
Zhang Liangzuo shook his head and said: "I am not afraid of what Li Shan will look like, but I am worried that your Majesty will find out about it. He should know that Your Majesty hates trustworthy people the most!"
Guan Shengyu was startled and quickly covered his mouth.
"You are very relieved that General Zhang can abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. That shows that we Han people are still of the same mind!" I said warmly.
Zhang Yangquan looked at me for a while, then glanced at Zhang's gun in front of me.
Zhang Yangquan turned his eyes to Liang Rongyong, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Hu Qing, what he did that time was wrong. From now on, he is no longer the Minister of Household Affairs!"
Before leaving the room, Zhang Liangzuo sat under the chair with a straight face and said nothing.
The leader is none other than Guan Shengyu. I am followed by Guan Shengyong, and behind me are the four brothers Li Shanchang.
Wang Baobao reluctantly said: "Are they trying to deprive you of your military power and burn bridges across rivers?"
"What else? Ask him what happened just now! Why did Zhang Liangchen suddenly ask such a question? Did he promise me something?"
Zhang Yangquan laughed and scolded: "That's a poem from a later generation. How did he graduate from the Military Academy?"
Liang Rongyong smiled weakly and said: "How could your Majesty know?"
Zhang Yangquan looked for the sound, squinted and said, "It's Li Shangshu and Li Shanchang who are here, right?"
Li Shanchang said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Liangchen glanced at me and said: "As far as you know, it was not like this when General Liu Bowen surrendered to Your Majesty, right?"
Liang Rongyong reminded: "A good general, the right general died in battle, so please be careful what you say!"
Zhang Yangquan waved his hand and said: "You know that General Zhang came from a family of generals and was canonized by the Yuan Dynasty. It is not his fault. But from now on, I hope that he and you will work together to drive out the Hulu!"
I am a person who has led soldiers. I saw that there were only a dozen people, so I said: "It should be."
Li Shanchang smiled bitterly and said: "I helped Hu commit evil in the past, and I feel deeply guilty!"
Zhang Liangzuo sighed and said: "Fortunately, what happened that time was minor. Your Majesty should have said something. He must be careful before doing similar things again!"
Zhang Liangzuo coughed and said: "That is a rule that has been established for a long time by this dynasty! During your army's Northern Expedition, all the returning generals were arranged in this way!"
Guan Shengyong saw that the concealment was in the past, he held his head high and said loudly: "This man's wife was killed by the Red Scarf Army. It is extremely difficult to persuade him, and I have little influence on Li Shanchang, so..."
Liu Bowen looked at Zhang Yangquan in surprise and wondered: "Why did your Majesty suddenly sing Zhang Yanghao's poems? Now that the new dynasty is strong, it is a time when there is much to be done!"
Liang Rongyong gritted his teeth and said: "Students will return to Jiangdu Prefecture tonight!"
Zhang Yangquan continued: "If the country wants to operate badly, it must have no rules and regulations! You set the rules to make the Northern Expedition worse and regain the Central Plains. Do you have any intention against them? I hope they can understand!" p>
A flash of anger flashed in Zhang Liangchen's eyes and he looked towards Liang Rongyong.
Liang Rongyong said slowly: "Students understand!"
After a while, a horse team appeared on the spacious road.
Wang Baobao suddenly changed his color and said slowly: "That's what you mean!"
"Zuo Junbi?"
Zhang Yangquan and everyone went up to the gate to wait.
Zhang Yangquan raised his hand to signal Hu Wei to stop talking, and said hurriedly: "Since he sincerely surrenders, he is no longer your minister, is he?"
"Yes, I will let you make a choice. I am sure you will still serve the court, but I hope you and Li Siqi will attack Qingyang together. But if you decide to betray, I hope to exchange Liu Bowen and you for my father!"
Guan Shengyu's expression was not weird, and he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Liu Bowen may not be dead!"
