Yanmen Pass has been an important town in the north since ancient times, so during the Han Dynasty, Yanmen Pass always had heavy troops.

After all, in the entire Han Dynasty, only Yanmen County was named after a pass, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.

During the period of Emperor Ling, despite the chaos in the Central Plains and the rise of the Yellow Turbans, Emperor Ling did not even think of using the soldiers at the border when he did not have enough troops at the beginning.

Ding Yuan led his troops to Beijing, but he also did not dare to take away the soldiers at Yanmen Pass. This can also illustrate the importance of Yanmen Pass.

Because, if other areas were conquered by the barbarians, there would be passes behind them that could be defended and a second line of defense could be organized.

For example, there are passes like Dashan Pass, and Tong Pass is behind it, which can protect the imperial capital.

Or it could be far away from the Central Plains and have enough depth to summon soldiers from all over the country to stop the barbarians.

Only Yanmen Pass won’t work!

Because after Yanmen Pass, there is Taiyuan County, an important town in the north. From Taiyuan County, you can go east through Jingjing Pass and enter Jizhou. Or you can continue south and reach Hedong.

This is already considered the hinterland of the Central Plains, so Yanmen Pass has always been a very important northern pass.

When Zhang Yan and others first took control of the Black Mountain area, they also had the idea of ​​​​taking Yanmen Pass.

But when they saw the more than 20,000 elite frontier Han troops at Yanmen Pass, Zhang Yan decisively led others to retreat.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Bingzhou and the whole area did not provide any support to Yanmen Pass, and they still held on for so long.

Of the original 20,000 elite Han troops, only 5,000 old and weak men with white hair on their temples remained.

When Zhang Yan learned the news, he was also filled with sadness.

"Master, what do you mean, you want us to take people to Yanmen Pass to keep the Xianbei people out?" Sui Zi asked with some doubts.

"Yes! That's what I mean!" Zhang Yan nodded, and then continued: "If the Xianbei people are allowed to enter the pass, I don't know how many people will suffer, so Yanmen Pass must be guarded!"

Everyone nodded when they heard Zhang Yan's words.

If you don't do this kind of thing, everyone will be huddled in the mountains. If you want to do it, you have to do your best!

Xianbei are all cavalry, not good at attacking cities, but good at field battles! And most of the Black Mountain Army are infantry.

If you don't block people outside the pass and fight to defend the city, do you still want to chase these Xianbei people around with two legs?

"Since brothers have no objections, let's do it like this." Zhang Yan looked at Sui Gu, and then continued: "Brother Sui Gu, you have been stationed at Jingxing all year round and are good at defense. Can you please rush to Yanmen Pass to garrison first?"

"Here!" Sui Gu didn't say much. The mere promise was enough to explain a lot of problems.

"Okay, brother Sui Gu, you go first, I will gather the army in the rear, and I will lead the army to set off in five days at the latest!" Zhang Yan looked at Sui Gu and said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xianbei, unless I die if Xianbei wants to enter the border!" Sui Gu clasped his fist at Zhang Yan, then turned and walked outside.

Zhang Yan did not stop Sui Gu, because he knew that soldiers need to be quick, and if they arrived at Yanmen Pass as early as possible, they would be relieved.

Several other leaders saw that Sui Gu had left and had no reason to stay here, so they all said goodbye to Zhang Yan and went back to reorganize their troops.

Two days later, Bingzhou, the northernmost part of Yanmen County, Yanmen Pass.

A captain with white hair at the temples, wearing an armor with obvious battle damage, holding a ring-shaped sword on his waist with one hand, walked on the city wall of Yanmen Pass. He is the current commander of Yanmen Pass, Wang Liang, from the Wang family in Taiyuan

.

Behind him, there was a group of soldiers who also had white hair.

The captain walked to a crenellation of the city wall, stretched out his hands, rested on the crenellation, and looked up to the north.

His eyes were full of worry.

"Uncle Ji, it turns out you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time." At this time, another school captain ran over, looked at Wang Liang, and said breathlessly.

"How's it going? Is the scout back?" Wang Liang asked, looking at his deputy Zhang Hu.

"I'm back, but the situation is not optimistic." Zhang Hu suddenly felt a little sad when he heard Wang Liang's words.

"This time, Xianbei seems to be serious about it. According to reports from scouts, Xianbei tribes within two hundred miles outside the pass have moved north one after another."

"It is expected that Xianbei's troops will exceed 500,000 this time." Zhang Hu lowered his voice and said to Wang Liang.

"Five hundred thousand? These Xianbei bastards really think highly of our Yanmen Pass." Wang Liang laughed at himself when he heard Zhang Hu's words.

"Uncle Ji, I heard that this time the Xianbei Hounds went south because the emperor ordered the Northern Expedition, so these Hounds planned to attack first." Zhang Hu told Wang Liang another piece of news he had heard.

"Huh? Your Majesty is going to march to the north? Is the news true?" Wang Liang suddenly had a look in his eyes when he heard Zhang Hu's words.

"Uncle Ji, how could I lie to you about such a big thing?" Zhang Hu said with a smile on his face: "Yesterday, the merchant who often delivers food and grass to us came here."

"He told me that he might not be able to send me food and grass for a long time."

"I asked him why, and the merchant said that His Majesty has issued an order to let the princes of the world lead the troops in the Northern Expedition. At present, there are at least 300,000 troops gathered in Luoyang."

"Great!" Wang Liang heard Zhang Hu's words and patted the stone next to him hard.

"Uncle Zhi, hurry up and tell the brothers this news. Tell them that the imperial court is about to make an expedition to the north. Let the brothers take action. We will defend Yanmen until the imperial army arrives!" Wang Liang said with a smile.

"Do you still need to give orders? I've already given them!" Zhang Hu also smiled.

However, he stopped laughing after a while.

"Uncle Ji, although the imperial court is preparing for the Northern Expedition, the Xianbei Hu dogs must be faster than the imperial army. Can we really hold on until that time?"

When Wang Liang heard Zhang Hu's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then said firmly: "If you can't defend it, you have to defend it!"

"Yanmen Pass is my great Han barrier! How many brothers were buried here? If we retreat, will we be worthy of those dead brothers?" Wang Liang said firmly.

Zhang Hu didn't say anything after hearing Wang Liang's words. He knew very well that neither he nor Wang Liang nor the other Yanmen Pass defenders would give up Yanmen.

In their words, they are a group of people who should have died long ago, and they have already earned money by being able to survive until now.

Just as Wang Liang opened his mouth to say something more, a soldier quickly ran over.

"General! A large army was found within twenty miles of the pass, and it is rapidly approaching our army!"

"Inside the pass?" When Wang Liang heard what the soldier said, he immediately walked to the other side of Yanmen Pass and looked far into the distance. He saw a cloud of dust rising from the horizon.

It was obvious that a large army was approaching.

"Have you found out who the other party is?" Wang Liang asked with a frown.

"General, they are the Black Mountain Bandit Army, and the leader is Sui Gu!"

, is just a momentary mottled stream of light. Looking up at the starry sky, there is always a sadness that the ending is doomed. Where will you and me be after thousands of years? Home, country, civilization, and the earth are just a speck of dust in the deep sky. The starry sky blinks in an instant.

, the human world lasts for thousands of years. Insects chirp for a lifetime, but the autumn is over. You and I are also struggling to survive. What is at the end of deep space? Aiyue App

The train goes away, bringing with it large pieces of withered yellow leaves and the desolation of autumn in the vibration of the rails.

Wang Xuan watched until the train gradually disappeared, then he looked away and sent several classmates away.

Since then, we have been separated, and we don’t know how many years it will take before we can see each other again, and some people may even never see each other again.

Around him, some people were still waving slowly, without letting go for a long time, while others were silent and quite sad.

After four years of college together, the accumulated friendship is always hard to let go.

The afterglow of the setting sun slants on the falling yellow leaves, and the light and shadow are mottled, interweaving a sense of the passage of time.

Waves of waves sounding like Sanskrit chants sounded around him, intense light began to rise rapidly, and a huge golden light and shadow was reflected behind him. Tang San's eyes were like lightning for an instant, and he stared into the sky.

Suddenly, a loud "boom" sound erupted from the Paradise Flower, and a huge golden light pillar rose into the sky, straight into the sky.

Not far away, the Great Demon Emperor Tianhu felt a shocking will burst out. The entire hell garden trembled violently, the flowers began to wither quickly, and all the luck seemed to be condensing towards the golden beam of light.

.

His face changed drastically but he did not dare to neglect him. He turned around and revealed his original shape, transforming into a nine-tailed sky fox with a length of more than 100 meters. Each guard was more than 300 meters long.

Its tail stretches across the sky, covering the sky and the sun. It emits a large amount of luck and injects it into the Hell Garden, stabilizing the plane.

The Hell Garden must not be broken, otherwise it will be a devastating disaster for the Sky Fox Clan.

Ancestral Court, Tianhu Holy Mountain.

The golden light that had already subsided suddenly became stronger again. Not only that, the body of Tianhu Holy Mountain also emitted white light, but the white light seemed to be collapsing inward, pouring into the interior.

A golden beam of light shot up into the sky without warning, and instantly rushed high into the sky.

The emperors who had just withstood another lightning tribulation dispersed almost subconsciously. And the next moment, the golden light pillar had already rushed into the tribulation cloud.

The dark clouds were instantly lit up and turned into dark golden clouds. All the purple color disappeared at this moment, replaced by huge golden thunder. It seemed to fill the entire plane.

anger.
