Chapter 810
Chapter 810
The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, and there is a lone city Wanrenshan.
Why bamboo flute complain willow, spring is not degree Pass.
Because of the Silk Road, there have been many poems describing Yumen Pass in the past dynasties.
But compared to other bloody and heavy poems, Li Jing prefers this "Liangzhou Ci" with a hint of desolation and loneliness.
And today's Yumen Pass is a bit more popular and noisy than the tourist attractions that later generations will not be able to verify the authenticity of.
Camel bells linger inside and outside the pass, and caravans come and go in an endless stream.
Tourists and passengers are full of voices, and it is a scene of prosperity from the inside to the outside.
If you climb up the city wall of the pass and look up, you can see dots of emerald green, dotted irregularly in the wilderness filled with yellow sand in the distance.
The majestic generals of the Tang Dynasty standing under the gate tower suddenly give people a sense of majesty and heroism.
Just like a man should ride a horse with a sword and come to this frontier to protect our frontier, otherwise life will leave regrets.
Of course, this is only the Yumen Pass in the Tang Dynasty, and it would be a fluke if the fakes of later generations can have one percent of their elegance.
"Yumen Pass is so majestic, but I don't know what the scene of the same famous Yang Pass is like.
This time, you will go out from Yumen with the palace, and return from Yangguan when you return! "
Li Jing held the hilt of his sword in his hand and stopped to look into the distance.
An official with the appearance of a "literate" behind him heard the words, and immediately bowed with a smile on his face: "What your highness said is very true.
Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the passage to the Western Regions and set up the four counties in Hexi, Yumen and Yangguan have been the only gateways for exchanges between the Western Regions and our Central Plains.
Because of this, both Yumenguan and Yangguan are important traffic routes and important military fortresses.
Since the Han Dynasty, it has been placed in Longle County, Dunhuang County, and it has been ruled by the Duwei.
Therefore, I thought that if the three kingdoms of Tubo really led their troops to attack, they would attack Yumen and Yangguan first.
As long as the two passes are guarded, the land of the Central Plains can rest easy.
If there is a loss of Yumen Yangguan, Longyou Dao and even the world of Tang Dynasty will surely lose their lives, and the people will be in dire straits!
Fortunately, Yumen Pass is separated by the Beishan Mountains in the north and the Qilian Mountains in the south, and the Gobi, desert, rivers, lake beaches and other dangerous places outside the pass.
As long as the entire army uses their lives, it will take at least a year and a half if the Three Kingdoms of Tubo want to take Yumen Pass.
When the time comes when His Majesty returns from victory and the court reinforcements arrive, His Highness can wait for work and take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill them. He will surely wipe out hundreds of thousands of troops from the Three Kingdoms in one battle! "
"Hey~
You are quite knowledgeable and courageous.
Who are you, and why do you stay here at Yumen Pass to guard the frontier? "
Li Jing gave a strange gasp when he heard this, and turned his head to look at this person curiously.
Could it be that he was lucky enough to meet Ye Youyixian who slapped Li Shimin in the face as soon as he arrived at Yumen Pass?
If this is the case, he doesn't mind taking a break from his busy schedule, and first writes some scripts and sends them back to Chang'an, fighting against His Majesty Li Er who is thousands of miles away.
Presumably, such things that His Majesty Li Er can't understand him and can't get rid of him will definitely add a bit of fun to the upcoming killing.
It's a pity that Li Jing's luck seems to be a bit bad recently.
"Report to Your Highness.
Weichen, surnamed Cui and named Jue, was originally the eldest son of Luzhou County Magistrate.
Just because the "Journey to the West" written by His Highness is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the common people think that after the death of a humble official, he must go to the underworld to become an official.
Therefore, since "Journey to the West" was passed down to Zhangzi County, dozens of people came to the county government to worship every day.
It's useless for me to say anything, and I can't bear to be disturbed by it, so I can only ask His Majesty to transfer Yumenguan from far away to be a guard.
It's a pity that Weichen still underestimated the brilliance of "Journey to the West". He has only been here for more than ten days, and there are already passing businessmen blocking the way to worship.
If Weichen hadn't been accustomed to this, I'm afraid he would be scared out of his wits just by this encounter.
Your Highness, please do me a favor and let this humble minister go.
If it goes on like this, Wei Chen may find it difficult to see people in the future! "
"Uh……
hehe~
Hahaha! "
Li Jing laughed out loud to hide the embarrassment in his eyes.
At the beginning, he also thought about changing the name of Cui Jue, but he chose to give up because of his laziness.
Who would have thought that his small omission would cause Cui Jue such a big trouble.
If he had known this earlier, he would have handed over the matter to Yan Lingbin and the three daughters, so why bother to embarrass the "poor man" in front of him.
Looking at the dry and cracked skin on Cui Jue's face, Li Jing suddenly felt ashamed.
It's just that since the mistake has been made, even if he is willing to change Cui Jue's life, it's over.
And he just wanted to take the opportunity to tease Li Shimin's plan, so naturally it also died.
This is his fault. His Majesty Li Er didn't laugh at him, it was a fluke, how dare he take the initiative to give the excuse to be ridiculed.
"We will discuss this matter later, and I will think of a way for you after I go back."
Li Jing couldn't help it for a while, so he waved his hand, changed the subject and said, "Although what you said just now is quite reasonable, it is by no means foolproof.
If I were to command the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms, since I knew that Yumen and Yangguan would be extremely difficult to break through, I would naturally find another way to break the deadlock.
In this way, you don't have to fight with my Tang Dynasty, and you can easily win two key points.
Do you think that if you were given a choice, would you choose to storm Yumen Pass, or would you choose to find another gate? "
"Um?!"
When Cui Jue heard this, he immediately lost the mood to complain.
He stroked his beard and thought about it carefully, then nodded and said: "What Your Highness said is absolutely true.
If it was changed to a lowly official commanding the army, he would definitely not waste time in this space.
But Your Highness, if the Tubo army wants to go deep into the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, they can only pass through Yumenyang Pass.
That being the case, how could the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms abandon Yumen? "
"Hehe~
Cui Jue, this matter is of great importance and must not be taken lightly. "
Li Jing shook his head, looked at the distant sky and said, "When Cao Aman fought Yuan Shao at Guandu, everyone thought that Yuan Shao, who occupied the land of the three states, would surely win a complete victory.
But who would have thought that Cao A concealed a trick to build the plank road and secretly went to Chencang, and then set fire to Wuchao, causing Yuan Shao's army to be devastated.
Do you think that if the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms act like this, can Yumen Pass be held for ten days? "
"This……
Your Highness is saying that the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms will sneak attack on the food storage places of our army?
But is this possible?
When did the grassland aliens know how to use tricks? "
Cui Jue asked doubtfully.
He didn't believe in Tubo under slavery, someone would use military tactics when the two armies were at war.
If the Tubo people really have such wisdom, Jiannan Road has already been ruled by the Tubo people, so why bother to ask for reinforcements like today before they dare to invade the Datang Pass.
"Naturally others don't understand, but Gar Dongzan must know this truth!"
Li Jing nodded firmly, frowned and continued: "I checked the map a few days ago and found that all the grain storage in Yumen, Yangguan and even the border area is stored in Hecang City, which is also commonly known as a large square plate." city.
Although Hecang City has a dangerous terrain and strong walls, it is also surrounded by Gobi Desert.
But if the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms attack with all their strength, or if they dispatch a partial division to detour and sneak attack, the defenders in the city will definitely not be able to resist it.
That being the case, do you think that a wise man like Gal Dongzan would see the omissions in my Tang defense?
If it were Li Jing and the others, would they try their best to conquer Hecang City first? "
"This……"
Cui Jue frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized and asked: "Your Highness means to follow the plan and wait for work with ease?
But what if Gal Dongzan hadn't discovered it?
Or did Gal Dongzan intentionally mislead His Highness? "
"Oh~
Misleading this palace?
He is still a lot worse!
But Bengong is willing to give him a hint, otherwise this little fox might not be fooled! "
