    After the rebel bandit leader Pei Wen'an led his army to capture Puban, they intended to cross the river and march westward.

    Tens of thousands of the main force of his troops sneaked across at night under the command of General He Shangui. The Sui army on the west bank of the river was unprepared and collapsed when they saw this, allowing the rebels to successfully sneak across without any effort.

    He Shangui successfully crossed the river, and his main force was about to attack Pujin Pass. At this time, Dugu Lan, who was advancing with light cavalry, arrived with 8,000 cavalry.

    Hedangui was caught off guard and was blocked by Dugulan's troops in the narrow area between Pujin Pass and the Yellow River, unable to advance or retreat.  The two sides fought, and He Shangui's headquarters was defeated by the Sui army and suffered heavy losses.  The rebels were frightened, and countless people fell into the water and drowned.  Seeing this, Pei Wen'an had no choice but to order He Shangui to return to the east bank of the river.

    After the war, the rebels lost more than 10,000 troops and horses.  Pei Wen'an had no choice but to retreat to Puban to repair and fight again.

    The Sui army's reinforcements galloped for hundreds of miles, defeated the rebels outside Pujin Pass, wiped out more than 10,000 enemies, and successfully defended Pujin Pass. This gave the Sui court a chance to breathe, and also made the war situation, which was already full of variables, come to an end.  More and more confusing.

    However, although the Sui army won a great victory, Huang Mingyuan did not relax his brows, but became more serious.  This battle between the two sides actually shows that the main attack direction of Yang Liang is Guanzhong.  Dugu Lan's victory was just a matter of surprise, which was a fluke and not a real way to defeat the enemy.

    Huang Mingyuan is full of doubts. In history, Yang Liang never entered Guanzhong, so he should not have defeated Pujin Pass. But now his army of more than 100,000 men is approaching Pujin Pass with great momentum. What is going on?

    Of course, the strategy chosen by Yang Liang is correct now, but how did he get on the wrong path in history?

    In fact, Pei Wen'an crossing the Yellow River eastward and entering Guanzhong was not entirely Yang Liang's decision, but the product of a compromise between all parties.

    After the rebellion that day, everyone debated endlessly about the strategy of advancing westward or occupying the north.

    Yang Liang's confidant, Cao Shenjun, Pei Wen'an, advised Yang Liang: "The area (Shanxi) west of Jingxing (today's Jingxing West, Hebei Province) is completely under the control of the king, and the state capitals east of the Taihang Mountains are also under the control of the king.  Your Majesty should now mobilize all the troops from all over the country, send old and weak soldiers to garrison in dangerous places, and at the same time attack various rebellious states and counties north of the river. Your Majesty should lead your elite troops, like a lightning strike, straight into Pujin Pass and open the gate of Guanzhong. Wen An invites you.  As the vanguard, and the king leads the army to follow, my army of more than 300,000 people will advance into Ba Shang like thunder and threaten Chang'an. By then, the entire east of Chang'an will be able to send a message. By then, our army will be greatly strengthened.  But if the capital is shaken and harassed, and the army cannot gather immediately, the whole court will be suspicious of each other, and the hearts of the people will be divided. At that time, the king will be the direction of all the people, and the people will follow suit. After taking Guanzhong, the king will use the king to  The power of victory commands the world, who dares not to listen. Although this move is dangerous, it will not take ten days, and the matter will be settled."

    Yang Liang, who had a soft ear at first, was overjoyed when he heard Pei Wen'an's plan. He seemed to be in control of the position, so he was ready to act according to the plan.

    However, people from the northern occupation faction opposed it one after another, believing that this risky move was only an idealized result. Once the army was defeated, the situation would collapse and was absolutely unfeasible.

    Yang Liang heard what the Northern faction said and felt that what the other party said was reasonable, so he was unwilling to attack Guanzhong again.

    The two sides argued for a day and could not decide how to send troops.  At this time, Yang Liang's indecisive weakness was highlighted, which also cast a shadow over the rebellion.

    It was Wang Kun who suggested to Yang Liang: "The families of the king's generals and soldiers are all in Guanxi. If they are used as the main force, they should launch an attack, drive straight in, and directly seize the capital. This is the so-called thunder that can't cover your ears. And if the king  If you only intend to occupy the old territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty (the area under the jurisdiction of Yang Liang), you should use people from Hebei."

    The two routes of advancing westward and occupying the north actually represent which faction will lead Yang Liang's government in the future. This is the reason why everyone has been arguing.  Rationally speaking, Wang Kun hoped that Yang Liang would choose to attack Guanzhong directly. However, he himself was from the Jinyang Wang family and belonged to the northern faction, so his attitude was ambiguous.

    Yang Liang did not have precise goals or plans in mind. He hoped to occupy the old territory of Northern Qi first, stabilize the situation, and then send his troops to attack Guanzhong.  However, if he rashly launches an attack on Guanzhong and is defeated, he will be destroyed. Yang Liang has no such determination at all.  In order to make things more stable and to ease the relationship between the two factions advancing westward and occupying the north, he decided to use two strategies, not only to capture Guanzhong, but also to occupy the old territory of Northern Qi.

    For this reason, Yang Liang mobilized all his armies and sent General Yu Zhengzhi from Taigu (now Taigu, Shanxi Province) to Heyang (now Meng County, Henan Province) to intimidate Luoyang; General Qi Liang sent from Fukou (now Fukou).  Starting from the southwest of Wu'an in present-day Hebei Province), we headed to Liyang (present-day Junxian County in Henan Province) and took Xiangzhou directly.Resist the imperial troops in the direction of Qingyan; General Liu Jian set out from Jingxing to seize the Yanzhao area (today's Hebei); Zhu State Qiao Zhongkui set out from Jingle (today's Jingle County, Shanxi Province) to pacify Shuozhou and Daizhou in Daibei  , Fengzhou Third Governor's Office.

    Yang Liang also promoted Pei Wen'an to the title of Zhuguo and the general manager of the Guanzhong Road march. Together with He Shangui, Wang Dan, General Ruru Tianbao and others, he led an army of more than 100,000 to the capital.

    Pei Wen'an is Yang Liang's first-class civil and military all-rounder. If Pei Wen'an's plan is followed, Yang Liang may not be able to defeat Yang Guang and occupy Chang'an.

    At this time, Pei Wen'an's position was only the official position held by Huang Mingyuan to put down the Wang Wenjin rebellion in Wuzhou six years ago. He was a seventh-grade minor official with great power but low status.  Although Yang Liang did not completely listen to his opinions, at this time he suddenly became the highest-ranking general under Yang Liang, commanding an army of more than 100,000 people, and he couldn't help but be happy.

    Pei Wen'an did have two brushes. After receiving the order, he immediately mobilized his troops and generals, heading south at an alarming speed, approaching Puban City, the seat of Puzhou.

    Puban is close to the Yellow River and is the most important line of defense in Guanzhong against Hedong.  Therefore, although Puzhou is located in the Hedong area, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Guangguan, Puzhou has never been under the jurisdiction of Bingzhou, just to prevent Bingzhou from threatening Guanzhong.  Originally, the governor of Puzhou was Yang Hong, the king of Hejian. He served as the governor of Puzhou for more than ten years, and he had great prestige due to his kindness and power.

    But after Yang Jian died, Yang Hong went to Chang'an to attend the funeral and was left to serve as Yang Guang's confidant. Yang Guang also sent the right military guard general Qiu He from Luoyang as the governor of Puzhou to guard Puban.

    Pei Wen'an led his army southward, watching the wind with disdain all the way. Within a few days, they headed straight to Puban City.  Seeing that Puban City was tall and difficult to break, Pei Wen'an sent several hundred elite cavalry, wearing women's masks and pretending to be Yang Liang's palace servants, back to Chang'an.

    I don¡¯t know what Qiu He was thinking, but he actually chose to let him go.  These soldiers pretending to be palace servants entered the city openly, without the guards guarding the city noticing.

    After everyone entered the city, they rose up in rebellion and seized the city gate directly.  In addition, Yang Liang's internal agents in Puban City also caused chaos, and they hunted and killed Puzhou officers and soldiers one after another.

    At this time, Puban City had not yet had time to deploy its defenses. The city gate was lost and the door was wide open. Pei Wen'an entered the city without any hindrance.  When Qiu He realized that something was wrong, he chose to escape directly over the city wall. Except for a few of the city-defending officials who abandoned the city and fled, those who could not escape were all taken prisoner, including Gao Yiming, a native of Shibohai, the governor of Pu, and others.

    Pei Wenping took over the Hedong states, and the military front reached its peak.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
