Guanzhong is located between the two major mountain systems in the north and south, the Guanzhong Plain, a graben formed by the impact of the Wei River and its tributaries. To the south of the plain, there is the Qinling Mountains, which stretches more than 400 kilometers from east to west, as a barrier, and towering mountains are distributed from west to east.
The clouds include the Taibai Mountain, Shouyang Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, Nanwutai Mountain, Cuihua Mountain, Lishan Mountain, and the tall and steep Huashan Mountain with thousands of ravines, extending eastward to Xiaoshan Mountain in western Henan; to the north of the Yuan, there is the rest of Liupan Mountain
The main line is Longshan, and to the east there are Qianshan, Qishan, Qiaoshan, Liangshan, Jiuweishan, Sagashan, Yaoshan, and Huanglongshan, etc., forming the winding Beishan mountain system.
In the west of the plain, the Longshan Mountains connect with the Qinling Mountains from northwest to southeast, blocking the western edge of Guanzhong, leaving only a channel for the Wei River. On the eastern edge of the Guanzhong Plain, the Yellow River roars between the Shanxi and Shaanxi mountains, flowing straight down from the north, at
After Hancheng broke out of Longmen Mountain, the river widened and became a natural boundary ditch at the eastern end of the plain. As mentioned above, it can be seen that the terrain of the Guanzhong Plain surrounded by mountains formed a natural defense line for the capitals of Qin, Han and Tang.
The mountains and rivers are blocked by four obstacles, and the land is fertile, so you can dominate them all. Donghangu, Nanwuguan, Xisanguan, and Beixiaoguan are the four key passes that are as stable as a rock. In history, unless there was civil strife in Guanzhong or internal rulers,
It is in such a state of decay that there are widespread complaints and the morale of the army is weakened. External force alone cannot take more than a few years and is extremely difficult to defeat.
However, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the land of Guanzhong has been divided into two, and half of it has been included in the jurisdiction of the Tubo people in Longyou. The territory of Guanzhong has shrunk, and the North Xiao Pass no longer belongs to Guanzhong. Therefore, when Hu Xi'er lobbied Zhao Guangmei, the North Xiao Pass was abandoned.
It was removed and replaced by Fenyang's Jinsuo Pass. However, surrounded by the Guanzhong Mountains, there are certainly dangerous passes along the way to communicate with the outside world, such as Long Pass, Aoguan (Lantian Pass), Wuli Pass, Linjin Pass, and Muhu Pass.
, Jinsuoguan, Shimenguan, etc., it can be said that there are many passes. But it is on the main road from the center of the pass, which has the meaning of "lock and key" and plays a controlling role. It is truly "one man can guard the pass, and ten thousand people cannot open it".
There are only four gates that are difficult to defend and attack, namely Hangu Pass, Wuguan, Dashan Pass and Xiaoguan.
Xiaoguan has been occupied by the Tubo people for many years, and now it has fallen into the hands of Yang Hao. The north gate of Guanzhong has actually been opened. The Tubo people have been fighting for years, and the war is endless. It has long been familiar to the defenders of Guanzhong. Yang Hao used his lightning speed to cover it up.
Er Zhizhi defeated Shang Boqian. Because the speed was too fast, the Song army in Guanzhong didn't know anything about it. They didn't know that the Xixia army was already aggressive and moving southward.
Until Tong Yu, Tieniu and Ke Zhen'e's army arrived at Longshan in a mighty manner. Longshan is extremely dangerous. From this point, if you go east, you can control the pass. If you look south, you can capture Hanzhong and Bashu. Longshan is six
The remnants of the winding mountains stretch for hundreds of miles and are the right auxiliary of Chang'an. To the south are Baoji, Dashanguan and other dangerous passes, which control the chokepoints of Guanzhong, Hanzhong and Bashu; in front of the mountains is Longguan, which controls the pass through Guanzhong.
The main road to Longyou.
Yang Hao's orders to Xiaoliu, Ke Zhen'e and others are: to seize Guanzhong as quickly as possible; to minimize losses, use more wisdom and less force, and never use force if you can use peaceful means to do so.
, because the "Qi Wang Zhao Defang" played by Princess Yongqing participated in it, the war against the Song Dynasty was destined to be both fighting and pulling. This was not an absolute conquest. Excessive killing would instead arouse the hatred of the Song army.
The angry spirit does not make use of the implementation of the big plan.
As for the specific measures, there are none. The fighter planes are changing rapidly and cannot be controlled by Yang Hao, so he has given full power to the command of the three former enemies. This is completely different from Zhao Guangyi, who is very hands-on and wishes to directly command the specific actions of each team. Zhao Guangyi commands
This method was used in the battle against Liao. However, there were no telephones and telegraphs in that era. Even if he was possessed by Guanyin with Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes, he would not be able to defeat an army of 300,000 people.
The first-level generals are responsible for the command, which is at most specific to the army and battalion levels. It is precisely because of the heavy control of authority that when the Liao army raided Youjing, the surrounding Song armies did not dare to act rashly and could only defend their own territory.
Formation, watching the enemy troops enter the city, it is precisely because of this that Zhao Guangyi fled on a donkey cart, and all the armies were immediately leaderless and retreated without any plan. From invincible to a complete defeat.
Yang Hao attached great importance to military power in building the army. He drew on some of the advantages of the Song Army in the daily construction and training of the army. However, he absolutely delegated the specific command power for expeditions and gave full autonomy to the former enemy commanders.
When Tong Yu led the army all the way south, he happened to encounter Barcelona escorting Shang Boqian back to the north. He immediately had a plan in mind, so he ordered someone to report to Yang Hao. After obtaining his consent, he took Shang Boqian with him and rushed directly to Long.
close.
The general guarding Longguan was Zhang Tai, and Shang Boqian was supported by the Song court. Tong Yu had been under Shangboqian for so long, so he naturally knew about it. In fact, most of the Tubo generals in Longyou knew about it.
, with such strong support, it is Shang Boqian's capital, how could he not say it? As a person
Of course Zhang Tai, the general of the garrison, also knew these inside stories. Tong Yu even knew that Shang Boqian treated Commander Zhang to drinks, played with women, and even gave him a precious mink fur robe. At this time, he just saw Shang Boqian as a stepping stone.
, in order to achieve Yang Hao's order to seek maximum benefits with minimum losses.
There is no suspense in the battle of Longguan. This heroic pass has no strong enemies on all sides. As time goes by, the defenders have long been slacking off. When they see the army of child feathers, all dressed as Tibetan soldiers, who have arrived in a hurry, they see half dead and still alive.
When Shang Boqian took his next breath, Commander Zhang had no doubts and immediately opened the door to let them in.
The Longguan Fortress fell into Tong Yu's hands easily. Tong Yu left a small number of troops to guard the disarmed Song army, and continued to run forward without stopping, bypassing Baoji and heading straight to Dashan Pass.
He knew that behind him, soldiers and horses from all walks of life would continue to arrive. His next target was Dashan Pass. Once Dashan Pass was obtained, Baoji City between Longguan and Dashanguan would be nothing more than a vast ocean.
A lonely boat can capsize at any time.
Tong Yu came out of Longguan much slower than before, because he made many siege equipment with local materials at Longguan, and also brought some heavy weapons such as crossbows and crossbows used by Longguan to defend the city.
There were only more than 2,000 defenders at Dashan Pass, but the terrain was difficult and it was difficult to attack from above. Tong Yu began to fall into a bitter battle.
The combination of Tong Yu and Ke Zhen'e is really suitable. Tong Yu fought in the mountains and plains. Although he did a lot of business of attacking cities and plundering villages when he was in Bashu, he actually didn't have any good offensive and defensive methods.
This is not the case for Ke Zhen'e. Looking at the entire Hexi, except for Yang Jiye, no one is better than him when it comes to defense.
Since he is proficient in various defense methods, he naturally knows the weaknesses of the city's defense. Although Dashan Pass is an important pass in the pass, the guard's methods of guarding the pass are much inferior to his, so Tong Yu takes the lead.
The command was handed over to Ke Zhen'e, who was fully responsible for conquering Dashan Pass. Ke Zhen'e gathered his energy and started his skills under Dashan Pass.
The Song army was completely in disarray and was completely defeated. Zhao Guangyi was hit by an arrow and was first snatched away by his own servants and fled. Then the Song army dispersed in a flurry, fighting each other and retreating in one direction: the south.
On the way, Zhao Guangyi encountered a defeated army. This was a battalion of only more than 500 people. The commander-in-chief, Yang Wei, was surprised to see His Majesty here. Yang Wei was surprised and happy, but he was also worried about being overtaken by the pursuers. He was outnumbered.
The protection was not good enough and the emperor's life was injured, so he used all his strength to protect Zhao Guangyi and ran south as hard as he could, far ahead of the deserters and pursuers.
Fortunately, the defeated troops of Luo Kedi and Li Jilong were defeated but did not collapse. The two troops deliberately held the rear formation and fought while retreating. They set up ambushes and traps from time to time, destroyed roads in the mountains, and demolished bridges when encountering water.
The pursuers created various obstacles, but the Liao soldiers were defeated in repeated battles. After Chad's victory, he was still frightened. When he saw the Song army's clear flags and neat formations, when he saw their pursuers coming from a distance, they saw a forest of spears and halberds.
The commander-in-chief ordered the troops to come in unison, but did not dare to push too hard. This way, the Song Dynasty's imperial army was protected to the greatest extent.
A few years ago, Qin Fujian was defeated in a rout, and the 900,000-strong army was destroyed. Later, in the civil fort change, more than half of the 500,000-strong army was lost. Fortunately, the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army had two famous generals who deliberately stayed behind to guard the position, so that
The Liao army's plan to kill a large number of Song soldiers failed. Although the 300,000-strong army dropped countless supplies of food, grass, arrows, and various supplies to enrich the Liao army, their strength was preserved to the greatest extent. More than 200,000 people successfully escaped from the Liao people.
The tiger's mouth.
While escaping, they regrouped. Although it was still a chaotic situation with no distinction between organization and leadership, after all, there were more and more people. Zhao Guangyi felt at ease. He lay on the donkey cart, thinking about this inexplicable defeat. Zhao Guangyi was heartbroken, but he also understood in his heart.
This time the Northern Expedition failed, the Liao army will take advantage of the victory to counterattack and retaliate.
So in the car, he began to formulate response strategies and frequently issued edicts. He ordered the national military envoy Song Xie to rush to Sanjiaokou to take charge of military affairs west of Taihang Mountain. He also ordered Li Jilong and others to station in towns, Ding, Gaoyang Pass and other passes.
In front of the palace, Cui Han, the Marquis of Yu, is stationed in Xiongzhou to control Baoding and protect the armies. Of course, these generals have not been found yet. Before the edict is issued, these people must be found first.
At this time, memorials from the Song Dynasty court were sent northward in a hurry.
Zhao Guangyi was hit by an arrow in the buttocks and thigh. The remaining poison was not cleaned up in time at the beginning, and the wound was swollen. Lao Gao could only lie in the car every day, receiving urgent reports from the court and reading the contents in a hurry. Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but scream.
With a sound, he sat up in shock, anger, horror and fear. With this movement, the wound burst open and blood flowed. He was not aware of it at all. He just stared at the memorial as if he had seen a ghost.
It was a letter "A Call to Zhao Jiong". Although Zhang Ji liked to report good news rather than bad news, he did not dare to hide such things, so he copied the full text of Yang Hao's "A Call to Zhao Jiong" along with the memorial.
Zhao Jiong's seven crimes were listed in the petition. The first was to kill his brother and usurp the throne and kill the late emperor; the second was to frame and kill the prince Zhao Dezhao; the third was to kill all the people and tried to kill the Queen of Song, Princess Yongqing and Prince Qi Zhao Defang; the fourth was to create a big scandal in Jiangzhou.
***; the fifth was to kill and burn Wang Mengchang and Li Yu one after another; the sixth was to force the rebellion of Bashu; the seventh was to betray the late emperor's promise, occupy Lin Mansion, and plot Xixia. However, Yang Hao obeyed the blood edict of the late queen and served under the late emperor's son Defang.
, the troops left Xiaoguan and sent troops to Guanzhong, hoping to eliminate the traitors who had stolen the throne.
That's all. What's more terrible is that there is the original text of the blood edict of the Queen of Song calling on the subjects to kill the traitor Zhao Jiong. Although these were issued by Yang Hao, the seals were signed by Qi Wang Zhao Defang and Zhao Guangyi.
His eyes almost popped out: How is that possible?
How is it possible? Although his body was incompletely burned by the fire, it was still vaguely identifiable. It was Defang, so how could he not be dead? If he was fake, then what happened to the seal? Back then...
…His seal was indeed not found at first…
Zhao Guangyi suddenly encountered a big defeat and a big change. For a moment, his heart was numb. All he could think about in his mind was that this message would shake the world, generals, ministers, gentry, traffickers and pawns. Everyone knew that even if he could defeat Yang Hao
Yang Hao obliterated this matter from writing,
It was hard to stop everyone in Youyou. Zhao Guangyi wanted to achieve hegemony, surpass his imperial brother, and become a Mingjun and Saint Emperor. When he thought about his ruined reputation and infamy, he was so heartbroken that he roared as if he was wounded.
The fierce tiger is extremely cruel and cruel.
Not far away, the defeated soldiers were dragging their exhausted bodies to set up camp. Although they were still exhausted, they were closer to their homeland, and everyone's expressions were much more relaxed than the frightened expressions of the previous days. In the Chinese army's tent
A shrill roar
, some soldiers nearby heard it, and were slightly startled. They looked in that direction a few times, and then continued to lie down lazily. Those who were burying stoves and cooking continued to add firewood. In the distance, someone was digging a trench.
, set up antlers, resist horses...
A wounded soldier with messy hair and an empty sleeve in his uniform walked slowly to the vicinity of the Chinese army's tent, sat down on the ground, took out a steamed bun from his arms, and ate it slowly. After a few days of getting along with each other,
, several chamberlains and soldiers who were standing there already recognized him. His surname was Bi. He was a soldier brought from Lin Mansion by the Dingguo Jiedushi Master Song Xie. He was originally from Guangyuan. From his accent, he was indeed from that place.
people.
This man is young and has fine features. If you take a closer look, you will see that although he has an unkempt beard and unkempt face, he is born with a pair of peach blossom eyes and is more charming than a woman. If he freshens up, he is an extremely handsome young man who does not know how to charm.
It’s a pity that so many big girls and little wives have been thrown away...
Look at his left arm, it was broken at the shoulder level, and the shoulder was wrapped with a thick bloody bandage. After this battle, he will never be able to stay in the Forbidden Army again. Such a disabled soldier is unworthy of the Imperial Court.
It's not that I don't care, but from now on I can only feed horses and do chores as a cook in the Xiang army, and I will never be able to get ahead.
"Xiao Bi, please be patient. Although we lost an arm, we are lucky when we think about our brothers who died tragically on the battlefield and whose bodies were not even picked up. When we go back, you will never see us again.
There is no need to go to the battlefield. Talking about family relations, finding a wife, having children, and living a peaceful life may not be a blessing."
A veteran patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.
"Thank you, uncle." The wounded soldier with a broken arm smiled softly, his smile was shy and delicate like a big girl: "How can anyone like me be willing to marry, but uncle is right, compared to
Those who are already dead, we are considered lucky."
He gently put down the dry steamed buns that were falling apart, and looked up at the clouds in the sky. After a long time, he slowly turned back, his eyes passed by Zhao Guangyi's Chinese army treasure tent, and he smiled inexplicably: "It's just broken.
We are disabled and must die, but we have overcome it. God tells us to live, and there is always a reason. When we live, there is hope!"
