Enter Dongmen Camp in the morning and go to Heyang Bridge in the evening.
The setting sun illuminated the banner, and Ma Mingfeng was in the wind.
There are tens of thousands of troops in Pingsha, and each tribe has its own tactics.
The bright moon hangs in the middle of the sky, making the dark night lonely.
The sound of mournful bamboo sticks makes a strong man miserable but not arrogant.
May I ask who the general is? Probably Huo Yao.

…
While Zhang Xun was holding on to Yongqiu, the Tang army in Taiyuan was also facing a fierce siege.
After Shi Siming swept Hebei, he set his sights on Taiyuan.
Taking Hedong Road was of great significance to the Yan army. It could not only prevent Shuofang's army from leaving Jingxing in the east and threaten Fan Yang, but also prevent Shuofang's army from going south and besieging Luoyang.
In the first month of the second year of Zhide, Shi Siming came from Boling, Cai Xide came from Shangdang, Gao Xiuyan came from Datong, and Niu Tingjie came from Fanyang). They led a total of more than 100,000 troops and rushed towards Taiyuan with thunderous momentum. Once Taiyuan was captured, Hedong could be captured.
Then they drove straight into Shuofang, Hexi, Longyou and other places.
When the news came, all the generals in Taiyuan were afraid and suggested repairing the city as soon as possible to defend against the Yan army's attack. However, Li Guangbi gave up repairing the city wall and said to the generals: "Taiyuan City is four and ten miles away, and thieves have come to attack, but they have not seen the enemy."
Trapped yourself first."
Just before the main force of the Yan army arrived in Taiyuan, early that morning, the small school came to report that there were three people from the green forest asking to see General Li Guangbi.
During the siege of the city, people from all walks of life would visit, and they must have their origins. Li Guangbi did not dare to neglect, and ordered his own military commander to invite the three people into the Chinese army's tent.
Three people entered the tent, two of them were around fifty years old, one was short and lean, holding a brass pipe, and looked like an escort; the other was short and fat, with bubble eyes, a smile on his face, and a look of charity.
The appearance of a wealthy man. The third person is a farmer in his early thirties, with a short stature and an unattractive appearance.
These three people seemed to be ordinary people, but when they saw the generals in the military camp, they were calm and calm, without any expression of embarrassment.
Li Guangbi had seen countless people and knew that these three people must be capable people and strangers, so he quickly ordered someone to serve tea to the three of them and watch them sit.
The short and fat man was the first to speak. Before he spoke, he smiled first. He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "General Li has worked hard to protect Taiyuan and keep the people safe. There is no greater good."
Li Guangbi quickly returned the gift and showed humility.
The short and fat man smiled and said: "I have Sun Fu, my younger brother Sun Gui, and my great-nephew Ping An."
The generals were secretly amused and thought to themselves, "Well, I am rich and safe, and my family will not lack anything."
Sun Fu seemed to be aware of the thoughts of the generals and said with a smile: "Yes, wealth and peace. We country people choose names for good luck."
Li Guangbi thought to himself: "Look at his words, what a powerful character." He quickly put away his arrogance.
Sun Fu smiled and said: "At the end of the Han Dynasty, my ancestors served in Cao Cao's army, and they were also soldiers.
Our ancestors were afraid that future generations would suffer hardship and starvation, so they passed down a shady craft. Although it was a small skill, it was the ancestor's secret skill after all. In order to prevent our family's knowledge from being lost, we two brothers occasionally got tired of it and tried our skills.
A few days ago, my two brothers received a letter from a friend, saying that the Battle of Taiyuan would allow our family's learning to flourish, and he advised me to come and serve under the general.
I discussed with my brother-in-law that it is a good thing to protect the environment and the people, accumulate virtue and do good deeds! It is better than the seven-level pagoda!
So I accepted this friend's commission and came to the general's camp to see if there was any place where my two brothers could be of any use so that I could do my best."
Li Guangbi listened to Sun Fu's ramble and talked in circles for a long time, and finally figured out the origins of these three people - the hereditary and irreplaceable General Faqiu Zhonglang and Captain Mojin, the masters of today's fighting world!
Li Guangbi was overjoyed, it was easy to get a thousand armies but hard to find just one general, not to mention he was a master among serious masters!
…
These two people were Bai Fu's old friends - Sun Dashanren Sun Fu and Tu Xingsun Sun Gui.
It turned out that on his way to Suiyang County, Bai Fu saw the military report that Shi Siming was leading troops to march towards Taiyuan. Taiyuan's strategic position was of great importance and could not be lost.
Bai Fu was at a loss for skills and suddenly thought of these two seniors in the fighting world.
Although Bai Fu has never been to Taiyuan, he heard Master Zhongsi talk about the geography of Hedong Road and Taiyuan many times. The soil of Hedong Road is hard and thick, and there are many cave dwellings in the north. The settlements are like forts, and there are cave dwellings such as Yayao and Quanyao.
From another perspective, this kind of soil is also easy to build tunnels, transforming single-hole hidden holes (commonly known as toad squats) in ordinary people's homes into double-hole hidden tunnels that can be entered and exited. This type of tunnel can be equipped with crossbow holes, traps, and turning holes.
The tunnel has developed from a hiding place for the people to a combat facility for surprise attacks on the enemy.
Thinking of this, Bai Fu naturally thought of Sun Fu and Sun Gui, the two ancestors who dug graves.
However, when the world is in chaos, where can we find these two people who usually remain anonymous?
Bai Fu used the resources of the Sichuan Gang to mobilize the Central Plains gangs and underground organizations to search for the two men. Within a month, the Beggar Gang, with disciples all over the world, found the two men and brought Bai Fu's letter to them.
In the letter, Bai Fu stated the great justice of the nation. "Saving people from fire and water is to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, which is the supreme good deed."
Deep down in the heart of every person who commits suicide is a deep fear of being retaliated by ghosts and ghosts. Once they have money, they are willing to do good deeds, give alms and pray for blessings.
Bai Fu had insight into the thoughts of the Sun brothers, and relied on this to finally impress the two. He mobilized the two old friends and happily went to Taiyuan to assist the Tang army.
…
After the Sun brothers inspected Taiyuan City, they designed a tunnel excavation plan based on the terrain around the city wall, and connected the underground of the main roads outside the city with a "middle"-shaped passage.
Tens of days later, under the command of the Sun brothers, thousands of soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan went into battle, dug deep trenches around Taiyuan City, and built several "underground Great Walls" outside Taiyuan City.
The Sun brothers personally demonstrated tunnel excavation: after digging a section of the tunnel, they dug down to a depth of more than 1 meter, then dug forward to a length of more than 1 meter, and then pulled it upward to form a "concave" shape.
During the construction process, in order to solve the ventilation and drinking water problems in the tunnel, the Sun brothers cleverly combined the tunnel vents with objects on the ground, such as chimneys, wells, wall tops, tree holes, etc.
After the construction, the tunnels are like spider webs, densely connected; the bunkers are like ant nests, distributed in layers. The inside and outside of the city are connected, and the villages are connected. They can not only conceal, hide people, transfer, but also store grain and baggage, transport troops, and fight.
…
Li Guangbi ran into the tunnel from time to time to survey the progress of the project, and he admired these two hereditary and hereditary legends of gold-mining:
The built tunnel is generally two meters wide, one and a half meters high, and the top is more than two meters thick. The tunnel is equipped with lookout holes, crossbow holes, ventilation holes, traps, movable flaps, signposts, water wells, and grain storage rooms.
wait.
The entrance to the tunnel is cleverly concealed. There are disguised tunnel entrances on walls, stoves, wells, at the bottom of grinding pans, tree holes, and wild cliffs.
In order to prevent the enemy from entering the cave, the Tang army built a trap at the lower end of the tunnel entrance. The trap was covered with a movable flap, and bamboo sticks and sharp knives were inserted upside down at the bottom.
The flaps are usually supported by wooden sticks so that people can walk away. Once the Yan soldiers enter the tunnel, the Tang army can pull away the wooden sticks supporting the flaps. If the Yan soldiers step on the flaps, they will fall into the trap and be pierced by the sharp blade.
The connection between two or more tunnels is equipped with a turn-up - a wooden or slate cover with a shaft. When the turn-up turns over a certain angle, one tunnel is blocked and another tunnel is opened. The turn-up can be used to induce
The Yan soldiers enter a trap or a dead end. Once they enter a dead end, the Tang army can snipe the Yan soldiers through the arrow holes on both sides.
The main alley of the tunnel is divided into upper and lower caves. The branch lines of the tunnel are crisscrossed, and the "chessboard road" is like a maze. Without the leadership of the Tang army, even if the Yan soldiers came in, they would lose their way.
If the Yan soldiers found the entrance to the cave and entered the tunnel, the Tang army could use the observation holes set up in the tunnel to observe the movements of the Yan soldiers.
There are a large number of arrow holes distributed on the walls on both sides of the tunnel, under the base of the city wall, in the sandwich wall, in the ditch and other hubs, thoroughfares, and corners.
In the bunker behind the arrow hole, there is a single-person Zhuge Liannu with standing or sitting fire. Operated by a Tang army soldier, he can kill dozens of Yan soldiers, leaving the Yan soldiers who entered the tunnel with no way to escape.
In order to prevent the Yan soldiers from destroying the tunnels with water, fire, and smoke, the Tang army also installed bayonet, flaps, smoke-proof covers, and waterproof doors in the tunnels, or dug the tunnels to be higher and lower, thicker and thinner.
A breakthrough that leads directly to the village in the distance.
In this way, the tunnel becomes an underground fortress that can be attacked, defended and retreated.
In addition, the Sun brothers asked soldiers to use the soil from dug trenches to build additional clay barriers in the city, making hundreds of thousands of clay barriers. None of the generals knew where these mud barriers would be used in the future. But given that the two were
No one dares to question his status in the industry.
When the Yan army attacked the city and the city walls collapsed repeatedly, everyone discovered the wonderful use of these clay mud barriers. Every time the Yan army breached a city wall, Li Guangbi ordered people to plug the gap with clay mud barriers and repair it quickly, so that the Yan army could attack the city.
The army was in disarray and there was nothing they could do.
