Quanzhen Little Daoist starts

Chapter 86
There are three Tongguan Passes in history, Tongguan Pass in Han Dynasty, Tongguan Pass in Sui Dynasty, and Tongguan Pass in Tang Dynasty.Among them, Tongguan Pass of Han Dynasty and Tongguan Pass of Sui Dynasty are both on Linzhiyuan.

With the change of the times, the erosion of the Yellow River created a new river beach under Linzhiyuan and near the side of the Yellow River. People can walk directly along the bank of the Yellow River to Guanzhong without having to go to Linzhiyuan.

In the second year of Tang Tianshou (691 A.D.), Tongguan moved from the upper part of Linzhiyuan to the lower part of Linzhiyuan, opened a new road along the Yellow River, and rebuilt the city. This is today's Tongguan.

While guarding the main road, they also controlled the Yuanwanggou on the east side of Linzhiyuan by remote control, blocking the Forbidden Valley. With Guo Jing's [-] cavalry, it was impossible to capture Tongguan.

Their original plan was not to capture Tongguan, but to attack the Twelve Links above the Forbidden Ditch from Fengyiyuan, so that Meng Gong could surround Tongguan from three sides after going around Linzhiyuan...

However, no matter how good the plan is, it needs people to execute it, and the plan is now bankrupt.

In the first year of Duanping, May [-]th, noon had passed, and at the beginning of the same hour, the guard at the west gate of Tongguan was a little restless, because today was supposed to be the day when Lu Qiuming returned from transporting grain.

Usually, it is stuck at noon, so I can go back to Tongguan, and I can also rush back to have lunch by the way, why is it past noon today and I haven't seen anyone?

Just when he was hesitating whether to send someone to take a look along the way, he saw a figure appearing at the corner to the west from a distance, followed by two, three, a large car, two...

The guard of Ximen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was worrying too much. The tense battle on the front line made him a little dazed, and he became paranoid.

Although he teased himself like this, he also knew that this was a special period and the enemy should not be allowed to take advantage of it.When the team approached, they saw Lu Qiuming greeting him in the distance.

This is an old habit, this is to remind myself to open the city gate in advance.The city guard of Ximen showed a smile on his face. With this gesture, it can prove that there is no problem with him.

Because of the tense battle on the front line, under normal circumstances, only half of the city gates of Tongguan are opened. Firstly, it is to limit the flow of people, and secondly, it is also convenient to close the city gates in time for emergencies.

Wave your hand and ask the people in the Wengcheng to open the city gate, because Tongguan has always been in the front line during the Jin Dynasty, so there is such a rule that when a large convoy enters the city, the outer gate of the Wengcheng is usually opened first.

After all the convoy entered the Wengcheng, the gate of the Wengcheng was closed, the Qianjin gate was lowered, and then the main gate was opened to let the convoy enter the city.

As for why this is so...

No matter how strict the rules are, they still need people to implement them in the end!There are exceptions to everything. For example, now, how can I say that there are people above who are easy to handle?
Three quarters of an hour later, looking at the two hundred or so carts that filed in, the city gate guard felt a little awkward, but he couldn't say exactly what was awkward.

Before he could think about it, Lu Qiuming came up to greet him. Seeing Lu Qiuming and the familiar guards beside him, the city gate guard couldn't help laughing at himself for being paranoid. It seemed that he was too nervous recently. , you have to find a place to relax and relax.

Under normal circumstances, even if Lu Qiuming was kidnapped, his personal guards would not allow him to carry on!

Having figured this out, the city gate guard was no longer suspicious, but stepped forward to chat with Lu Qiuming. This is the general's confidant, who came out of his personal barracks.

Although the job of transporting grain seems a bit tiring, he has made a lot of money by running several times a month. Who doesn't envy the way of doing it?

It's better than them guarding the city gates. Usually, they can search for merchants passing by, but since the Mongols came, which caravan dare to come?

Not to mention caravans, there were not many pedestrians, either they were killed or they were taken captive to the grasslands. These Mongols didn't even think about it. Without these farmers and merchants, who would they take?
As before, Lu Qiuming still put his arms around his shoulders as soon as he came up, chatting and laughing, and the city gate guards also happily responded.

Suddenly, I felt numb all over my body, and I couldn't exert all my strength. I opened my mouth to shout, but I couldn't make a sound.

Now no matter how dull he is, he still knows that he has been deceived. No wonder many of Lu Qiuming's personal soldiers have unfamiliar faces, and even those who are familiar don't say a word!

She completely lost her usual acquaintance, so it turned out that she was also tapped on the Ya point, and now she has followed in their footsteps. She is really a dumb man who eats Coptis chinensis, and the pain is hard to describe...

The city gate guard knows that whether he can live or not depends on whether he cooperates!
These days, even those with a little conscience, after seeing what the Mongols have done, will not have a good impression of these Mongols who only know about looting but not construction.

This is also the reason why the generals of the Jin Kingdom who surrendered to Mongolia in various places in the Song Dynasty's military operation to recover the three capitals all surrendered.

Because at this time, Mongolia is implementing a policy of plundering and plundering, which is really unpopular. Those generals who surrendered to Mongolia will not get any benefits, and they will suffer from conscience condemnation...

If Caesar's motto is: I came, I saw, I conquered!
So now the motto of Ogodei in Mongolia and his predecessor Genghis Khan Temujin is: I have been here, I have seen it, and I will take it away!As for conquest, if you don't accept it, grab it until you do!

This situation did not change until a few years after Wo Kuotai's death, when Kublai Khan took over the throne and Mongolia split into several khanates.

Naturally, it wasn't that their conscience discovered it, but that there was no place for them to snatch it except for the Southern Song Dynasty...

If we don't make good use of the Han people in the north to farm, then they, the Mongolian nobles, let alone hunt and rob, they will even have problems eating!
Closer to home, the guard of Xicheng did not resist after he figured out his situation, but silently endured the ravages of Lu Qiuming.

He doesn't mind surrendering, but the feud between him and Lu Qiuming is finally over!

Soon, the carts passed through the city gates one after another. Qiu Zhiqing also pretended to be Lu Qiuming's personal soldier, and then passed through the gates of the Wengcheng City and the main city gate. Every time he passed through a city gate, the fennel in his hand There are only a dozen or so beans missing...

When they passed through the main city gate, a few of the more than 200 carts stood at the chute of the Qianjin Gate, while the soldiers guarding the city gate could only stare blankly. like a statue!
Soon, the cart stopped moving, but was parked in the urn, as if making way for something.The soldiers on the tower looked a little confused, so they wanted to report to their superiors.

But he found that his Shangguan was talking and laughing with Mr. Lu Qian on the horse path. This is against the rules!
The current city is not a tourist area for future generations, anyone can go there.But they are just soldiers and have no right to speak...

Not long after, a group of "Mongolian cavalry" galloped towards Guanzhong!

"General, there are cavalry! There are cavalry!" This was to remind the guard of the city gate, asking if he should close the gate, but unfortunately, the guard of the city gate did not respond to the anxious shout of his subordinates at this time...

Everything that followed was logical. In the absence of an order from the city gate guard, no matter how confused the soldiers were, they could only poke their heads nervously at the top of the city, and did not dare to close the gate or attack at all.

These soldiers from the Kingdom of Jin didn't have the guts to attack the "Mongolian army" in their eyes.

……

Things went so smoothly that even Guo Jing didn't expect that the road to the surprise attack, which was thought to be difficult, would take down Tongguan, which is known as the natural danger, with the cooperation of the enemy's grain transporter Lu Qiuming.

It's a pity that Lu Qiuming's immediate boss was too excited when he surrendered, and he was waving with a big sword. He was misunderstood by Guo Jing and killed him with one arrow, otherwise he must be a talent...

At this time, their supervisor Zhang Wenfu probably hadn't arrived at Meng Gong's camp yet, so Guo Jing planned to lead three thousand cavalry to see if he could strike behind the Mongolian army.

Guo Jing admired Lu Qiuming's group of generals who surrendered very much. This kind of chaotic spirit deserves to be carried forward by those surrendered generals of the Jin Kingdom!

In order to commend them, Guo Jing decided to take them to the front line to perform meritorious service so that they could integrate into the Song army.

At the same time, let the deputy general lead 2000 people to stay in Tongguan and at the same time reorganize the [-] surrendered troops in Tongguan.

Qiu Zhiqing stayed in Tongguan to help!
After a hasty meal to fill his stomach, and after resting for an hour and a half, Guo Jing set off with [-] cavalry at the beginning of You Shi!

In fact, during the one and a half hours of rest in Tongguan, it also included putting pressure on the lieutenant general, and saving him to reorganize the troops as soon as possible.

Among them, Qiu Zhiqing also arranged for some soldiers to repeatedly indoctrinate the surrendered soldiers with the concept that the Mongols are cruel, that they only want slaves and not subordinates...

Standing on the tower of the East City, looking at the dark clouds that never retreated under the night, Qiu Zhiqing felt that it might rain heavily tonight, which would be a good opportunity for a sneak attack.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiang'an and Guo Jing wanted to go together at this time, one was thinking of sneak attacking at night, and the other was thinking of retreating quietly at night.

As a result, the two gangs met unexpectedly in Xiaochangyuan, twenty miles west of Lingbao City, at the end of the Xu Dynasty. After a chaotic battle, Guo Jing found that the opponent was crowded and planned to retreat.

Liu Xiang'an also knew that there were not many soldiers and horses in the encounter with his vanguard army, so he planned to overwhelm the whole army, rush back to Tongguan as soon as possible, and return to Guanzhong by way of Linzhiyuan.

At this time, he already knew that although Tongguan was lost, the Twelve Linked City above the Forbidden Ditch was still in his hands, or he could return to Guanzhong before Meng Gong didn't know that Tongguan was lost...

However, blessings and misfortunes never come singly. Just as Liu Xiang'an's army was pressing on him, he realized that something was wrong, and Meng Gong, who came up cautiously in two batches, saw this good opportunity and chased after him with a fierce beating from the rear!
In the middle of the night of the fierce battle, Liu Xiangan saw that he could not do anything, and led [-] elite cavalry and a large number of Mongolian generals to retreat to Guanzhong overnight...

So far, the operation of recovering the three capitals, using millions of grains of grain, dispatched three groups of troops, tens of thousands of troops, lasted more than two months, and the Song army took down the Guanhe line of defense that the Kingdom of Jin had used to resist Mongolia for more than 20 years.

The trend is set!
