Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 33 Yanmenguan Guangwu City

Chapter 32: Yanmenguan Guangwu City
Qin Wen, who rode on the Snow Dragon Colt, quickly traversed most of Bingzhou and rushed to Yanmen County at full speed. However, Qin Hao did not go to the Yinguan of the county government, but went directly to Guangwu, which is the closest to Yanmen Pass.

Yanmen County is located in the northeast of Bingzhou and has 14 counties under its jurisdiction, namely Yinguan, Mayi, Qixian, Loufan, Guangwu, Yuanping, Lucheng, Wangtao, Fanru, Juyang, Nao County, Wuzhou, 14 counties including Pingcheng and Qiangyang.

Yanmen County is bordered by vast grasslands in the north, Taiyuan in the south, Dai County in Jizhou in the east, and Dingxiang in the west.
Yanmen Pass is adjacent to Longling and Yanmen Mountain in the east, and Long Mountain in the west. The two mountains face each other, and the shape is like a noisy gate. Every year, geese fly between them, so it is called Yanmen, also known as Yanmensai and Xilongguan.Its location is located on the main road of Guangwu's throat. When you walk out of Guangwu City and follow the road along the ditch, you will enter a narrow valley, known as Yanmen Ancient Dangerous Road. The peaks on both sides are stacked with cockroaches, and the strange rocks are dangerous in the sky. That is the eye-catching.

Yanmen Pass is built on Yishan Mountain, with stacked cockroaches, steep cliffs, dense pheasant spies on the wall, and beacon monkeys echoing each other from afar. The east and west sides of the old Yingkou Keshenchikou, Yangfangkou, Donglongkou, Xihangkou, Djiloukou, Dashikou , Shikou, Malankou, Ruyuekou, Huyukou and other eighteen passes are connected into one, its terrain is very dangerous, it is a must-have for soldiers, and it is also a must for foreigners from the north to travel south.

During the Warring States period, Li Mu, the general of the State of Zhao, was stationed in Yanmen, relying on the danger of closing the city, he carefully defended and defeated the Xiongnu numbering 10 horses;

The famous generals of the Han Dynasty, Li Guang, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing once led their troops and the Huns to fight here, and they won a great victory, which shocked the fortress.
Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Yang once led his troops to fight against the Turks here; Tang general Xue Rengui once chased the Turks here, and there were frequent reports of good news;

Yang Ye of the Northern Song Dynasty also went out of Yanmen to defeat the Liao soldiers several times, which made him terrified and won the title of "Yang Wudi".

Qin Wen, the father of Qin Hao, has been the prefect of Yanmen since four years ago.

After four years of vigorous development, Yanmen has been governed, the government is smooth and the people are harmonious, and the road does not pick up things. Now it has surpassed Taiyuan in terms of population, and has become the No. 1 county in Bingzhou. It currently has a population of 40 and [-] defenders.

Although Yanmen County has undergone great changes in the past four years, its development has been extremely bumpy.

During the four years that Qin Wen took office, he has been fighting for two years, which can be described as constant wars.

As for why?After taking office, the prefect Qin Wen did something to challenge the bottom line of the Xiongnu alien race, that is, rebuild Yanmen Pass.

Yanmen Pass is the gateway to defend against alien races in the north, and plays an extremely important role in the entire northern border of the Han Dynasty. However, in the period of Emperor Huan, due to the incompetence of the guards, Yanmen Pass was once conquered by the Xiongnu Shanyu Luan Ti Qiang Canal, and then was destroyed by fire. Since then it has been in a state of abandonment and has never been rebuilt.

It is not that the Han Dynasty did not think about rebuilding Yanmen Pass to consolidate the northern border, but once the Han Dynasty built Yanmen Pass, the Huns would definitely lead their troops south to fight the grass valley.

The Han army who lost the Yanmen Scratch was simply unable to resist the Xiongnu iron cavalry, and it was destroyed before it was built.

Coupled with the weakness of the compromise faction in the DPRK and China, the Han and Huns finally secretly reached a tacit agreement, that is, the Han Dynasty will not rebuild Yanmen Pass, and the Huns will only operate in the northern and central parts of Bingzhou.

This tacit understanding lasted for nearly 20 years, and it was not until Qin Wen rebuilt Yanmen Pass that this balance was broken.

Once the Yanmenguan moat is re-established, with the barrier of Xiongguan, the Xiongnu will no longer be able to loot wantonly south, and Bingzhou will no longer be the back garden of the Xiongnu, and the people of Bingzhou will also live a stable life.

Although Qin Wen's move was well-received, he was playing with fire, and he would set himself on fire if he was a little careless. The Huns would never watch Qin Wen rebuild Yanmen Pass, and war was inevitable.

To rebuild Yanmen Pass, success is famous for eternity, and failure is also stigmatized for thousands of years. Fortunately, Qin Wen succeeded.

The first time he faced the [-] iron cavalry, Qin Wen only had [-] old and weak county soldiers in his hands. Qin Wen first showed his enemy's weakness and lost three consecutive battles. Completely wipe out [-] invading enemies.

Taking advantage of the month before the re-offending troops of the Xiongnu arrived, Qin Wen concentrated the interpersonal, material and financial resources of the whole county and raced against time to repair Yanmen Pass.

During this month, 20 soldiers and civilians in Yanmen went to the battle, and they were united as one. Both men, women, and children were bare-sleeved, willing to sweat and bleed for Yanmen Pass.

Because they knew that when the Xiongnu returned again, it would not only be [-], but [-]. If there was no Xiongguan to guard then, what awaited them would be death.

Even if 20 soldiers and civilians work hard, it is impossible to repair Yanmen Pass within a month. Although it is impossible to repair all of them, it is more than enough to repair a few crossings.

When the Xiongnu attacked for the second time, Qin Wen used the repaired dangerous crossing to guard against it. Due to the unity of the army and the people, and the fact that the Xiongnu acted in a hurry at this time, there was insufficient food and grass. After holding on for a month, the Xiongnu finally ran out of food.

After the Xiongnu retreated, Qin Wen continued to devote himself to the repair of Yanmen Pass. When the Xiongnu returned again, what awaited them would be a stronger icy city wall.

The reconstruction of Yanmen Pass took eight months in total. It is a miracle that Qin Wen relied on the power of one county to complete this magnificent pass in such a short period of time. However, this is also inseparable from the support of the imperial court and other prefectures and counties in Bingzhou. .

After Qin Wen repelled the two southern invasions of the Xiongnu, the court also saw the hope of rebuilding Yanmen Pass, so he ordered the prefect Ding Yuan to cooperate fully with Qin Wen in rebuilding Yanmen Pass.

Because of the support of the entire Bingzhou, Qin Wen was able to rebuild Yanmen Pass within eight months, and it was stronger than before.

Seeing that Yanmen Pass was strong day by day, the young Xiongnu Shanyu Yufu Luo was naturally unwilling. He vowed to destroy this Xiongguan once again that his father had destroyed. However, Qin Wen is not an incompetent general, Xiongguan is a soldier Less he is not afraid.

During the four years that Qin Wen served as the prefect of Yanmen, Yu Fuluo attacked Yanmen 13 times in total, but apart from leaving no less than 8 corpses under Yanmen Pass, he hardly disturbed Yanmen Pass.

The Yanmen Army was also constantly tempered in the defense of the city, and eventually became the most elite frontier army of the Han.

With the guards of Yanmen Pass, the Xiongnu could no longer have their hands on Yanmen, and Yanmen County gradually regained its stability, and many people who went out came back one after another.

Coupled with Qin Hao's series of preferential policies to absorb refugees, Yanmen has become the first choice for refugees in northern Xinjiang, and a large number of refugees from Jizhou have migrated to Bi.

With the population, there will be a source of soldiers. In the past four years, the population of Yanmen has increased from 20 to 40, and the defenders have also increased from the original [-] county soldiers to the current [-] elite soldiers.

Although there are some guards in Xiongguan, Yanmen is not absolutely safe. After all, Yanmenguan has been breached.

In order to strengthen the defense of Yanmen Pass, Qin Wen worked hard. He not only moved the county government directly to Guangwu County, which is only more than 30 miles away from Yanmen Pass, but also resettled most of the refugees in counties near Yanmen Pass. conscription.

This also makes the originally sparsely populated six counties in the north of Yanmen gradually prosperous.

With the continuous development of commerce and the continuous development of trade routes, under the guidance of the Qin family firm, Guangwu City gradually became the "business capital" of Bingzhou, and more and more businessmen came to this business.

Guangwu City is also becoming more and more prosperous and has been expanded twice, becoming the second commercial city with a population of 10 in Bingzhou.

Since horses were not allowed to travel fast in Guangwu City, Qin Wen dismounted his horse and walked slowly to the prefect's mansion after entering Guangwu City. On the way, because of the snow dragon horse, pedestrians along the road looked sideways.

"A handsome white horse, even the prefect's 'Purple Electric' can't compare!"

"Good horse, this horse is also hard to find!"

Although horses are not uncommon in the north, the height of the Xuelong foal is almost double that of ordinary horses. As long as he is not blind, he can almost see at a glance that this is a divine foal that travels thousands of miles a day.

"Which young talent is born so handsome, and the horse is a good match."

"You don't know that. That's the son of the prefect's family. I met Young Master Qin on the prefect's birthday last year!"

"Qin Hao, the heavy pupil, turned out to be him!"

After a commoner revealed Qin Hao's identity, all the commoners exclaimed. A series of policies to benefit the people over the years have made Qin Wen deeply loved by the people of Yanmen, and his eyes looking at Qin Hao are also very soft.

"Young Master Qin, you are so handsome!"

"Has your son ever been married? The little girl is twenty-eight years old, and she is as beautiful as a flower. Wouldn't it be nice to take the son as a concubine?"...

Qin Hao was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the people of Yanmen, so he immediately quickened his pace and left the place of right and wrong.There were also some learned people who looked at Qin Hao with a thoughtful look.

"Isn't Qin Hao bowing to Master Wang's door? Why don't he go back to Yanmen if he doesn't study with Master Wang at this time?"

"Who knows this? But now that the Yellow Turbans are in chaos, the prefect is about to lead troops to suppress it. Maybe the son will go out with the prefect to quell the chaos!"

"Going to the battlefield at the age of 14? You are worthy of being the son of Qin Taishou!"

The Prefect's Mansion is located in the center of Guangwu City, and almost every avenue can be walked through. After getting out of the crowd, Qin Hao quickly found the Prefect's Mansion.

"The prefect's mansion is important, and the idle people are waiting to stop."

Qin Hao was stunned when he saw the person coming. He didn't expect that he was still an acquaintance. He had changed a lot over the years, and it was normal for him to not recognize him, but why was he here?

"General Gao Shun, why are you here to guard the gate?"

　[Who is Gao Shun? I believe that the fans of the Three Kingdoms must know that if this die-hard loyalist does not accept it, it is really difficult to accept it except for Lu Bu.The war is about to start, and I hope everyone can support it.Ask for a recommendation ticket. 】
