    Huang Mingyuan arrived in Jixian County on June 22. On the morning of June 24th, he set off from Jixian County and rushed to Yanmen.  With a journey of more than 800 miles, Huang Mingyuan plans to arrive within 12 days.

    The twelve days seem to be a long time, but heading west from Youzhou is the majestic Taihang. There are many dangerous passes along the way, and there are bandits blocking the way, making it very difficult to go.

    After crossing Laishui (today's upper reaches of Juma River), the army entered Shanggu County.  In the Shanggu area, the prefect Guo Xuan and the county captain Lan Xingyu were all expelled from Zhuojun by Huang Mingyuan.  The two of them are not bad in ability. Guo Xuan comes from a humble background and has a distinguished reputation in the history of various state ministers.  Lan Xingyu is also a veteran, upright and upright, does not avoid powerful people, and is known for his competence in his position.

    It¡¯s just that the situation in the world is like this, and it cannot be saved by the power of two people.  Since Lu Mingyue, Wang Xuba, Wei Daoer and others started in Shanggu one after another, they wreaked havoc on the place and made the good Shanggu County a mess.

    Shanggu was originally an important border town and had always produced powerful soldiers. The troops Liu Xiu started with were the Yuyang Cavalry and the Shanggu Assault Cavalry.

    At this time, in Shanggu County, various places occupied cities to protect themselves. As the prefect, Guo Xuan could only control one city in Yixian County (today's Yixian County, Hebei Province) where the county seat was located.

    When Huang Mingyuan went west to rescue Yanmen, Guo Xuan, who was one step away from Yanmen County, was also besieged by Wang Xuba's main force.  After Wang Xuba rebelled, he went south to conquer Gaoyang and used it as the center to expand his sphere of influence.  After Lu Mingyue's defeat, he took the opportunity to occupy Suicheng (ruling today's West Suicheng, Xushui County, Hebei Province) and other places, becoming a very powerful force in Hebei.

    In April of the tenth year of Daye, Wang Xuba and his good brother Wei Daoer raised more than 100,000 troops and marched north to Shanggu County to besiege Yi County.

    Huang Mingyuan did not care about rescuing Guo Xuan at this time, so he ordered Liu Yunfang to rescue Shanggu and defeat the rebels, while Huang Mingyuan himself led the army to continue westward.

    The Sui army went upstream along the Laishui River and arrived at Feihu County.  Tongluo Fulu, the general of Tongluo tribe, is attacking here.

    Tong Luo Xie was also good at military affairs, and Zu Junyan also knew the situation in Hebei. After Tiele's coalition forces entered Yanmen County, Tong Luo Xie immediately ordered his brother Tong Luo Erlu to occupy Lingqiu and attack Feihu eastward.

    The Feihu Ancient Road has steep cliffs on both sides, a slight line of water, and winds for more than a hundred miles.  Feihu Pass is built at the north entrance of the canyon mouth. One man can guard the pass and no one can open it.

    From Youzhou to the west, Feihu Trail is the fastest and most important road to Hedong. It is also the most important road in the North China Plain that directly connects the Daibei Defense Line.  Occupying this place can protect the flanks of the entire Hu army to the greatest extent.

    Tong Luo Xie also asked his younger brother to attack Feihu, because he was worried that Huang Mingyuan's main force would come from Liaodong and pour down, so he blocked the Sui army's attack route in advance.

    Since the Sui Dynasty, as the defense lines of the Central Plains Dynasty have continued to move northward, the strategic position of Feihu Trail has also been reduced.  Now even Shanggu is not considered a border county. How can there be Hulu who can attack Feihu?  Therefore, the garrison at Feihu Pass had less than a thousand men, and Zhang Jian, the general of Yingjilang, was stationed there.

    Zhang Jian is the son of Zhang Zhi, a general under Huang Mingyuan. He was born in the Zhang family of Fanyang and entered the officialdom in the shadow of his family.

    Tongluo Erlu came with tens of thousands of people, but Zhang Jian only had 800 in his hands.

    However, Tongluo Fulu saw that Feihu Path was dangerous and difficult to capture, so he sent a Han general who had returned to persuade him to surrender far outside the city.

    At this time, Zhang Jian was only over 20 years old, and he was in full swing, so he replied on the tower: "You lackeys, there is no need to say more, this is just one death, you go and tell your master, if you are not afraid of death, just come.  "

    Tongluo Erlu sent another person to persuade him to surrender, and it was Zhang Jian's old acquaintance Lingqiu Lingge Xiang.

    Ge Xiang had a good relationship with Zhang Jian in the past, and they were related by marriage.  When the Tongluo tribe attacked Lingqiu City, Ge Xiang, who was the county magistrate at the time, saw the Hulu siege. He was afraid and did not offer any resistance. He ordered people to open the city gate and surrendered to the Tongluo tribe.

    When Zhang Jian saw his old friend surrendering to the captives, he was furious. He picked up his bow and arrow, pointed at the enemy and shouted: "I have already made my preamble, you don't need to say any more! Ge Xiang, if you surrender to the captives now, you are a traitor to the Han Dynasty. You and I are today  , cut off the robe and cut off the righteousness, no old feelings will be restored, watch me kill the thief today." So he shot Ge Xiang to death with an arrow.

    When Tong Luo Erlu heard this, he was furious and said: "This Han dog is so rude. If we conquer this pass, no one will be left alive."

    So he and Luo Fulu commanded the troops to attack Feihu Pass.

    At this time, the Tongluo tribe was already proficient in making siege equipment, so the army set up more than ten aerial ladders. There were more than a dozen people on each aerial ladder, and the surroundings were covered with wooden boards.  The crowd rushed towards the pass.

    The Tiele people were in the camp, drums were beating, and the soldiers were closed down to shoot arrows for cover.

    Zhang Jian stood at the top of the city and saw that the barbarians under the city actually built a ladder to attack the city, so he ordered his subordinates to hold rockets and arrange them on both sides of the pass. When the ladder approached the city, they fired at them all.

    The Tiele people belong to those who know their?I don¡¯t know why, but the armies are not good at using ladders to attack cities.

    So they closed the fire and fired all the rockets. The ladder was exhausted and many of the sergeants on the ladder were burned to death.  The city was rained with arrows, and the Tiele people had nowhere to hide in the narrow pass and retreated one after another.

    Seeing that the attack on the city with the ladder was not going smoothly, Tongluo Fulu ordered people to pull in the chariots and advance with drums and shouts.

    Zhang Jian ordered his soldiers to bring stones, cut holes in the stones, and pass them through with Ge ropes to make flying stones. When the barbarians' chariots came to Guanxia, ??they beat them with flying stones.  Tie Le's men were unprepared, and all their charges were defeated by the Sui army.

    Tongluo Jilu was very annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.

    The Tiele people attacked each other day and night, and Tongluo Fulu tried his best to break the barrier, but Zhang Jian defended himself and dealt with it calmly, and used tricks as he saw them, without letting Tongluo Fulu take any advantage.

    By the time Huang Mingyuan arrived at Feihu Trail, this important pass was still in the hands of the Sui army.

    When Zhang Jian saw Huang Mingyuan, although he was excited, he was calm and unhurried. He also answered Huang Mingyuan's questions fluently, very like everyone.

    Huang Mingyuan admired Zhang Jian's calm response. At a young age, he was neither humble nor overbearing, and he already had the air of a general.  Huang Mingyuan rarely thinks so highly of others.  Judging from his historical performance, this boy has good talent. With more training, he will become a good general.

    Seeing that Zhang Jian was just a small general, he appointed him as his personal general, and also led Cao Xing, the general's army, to join the army.

    Today, Zhang Jian has reached the sky in one step.

    After Huang Mingyuan led the army to Feihu Pass, he and Luo Fulu reacted quickly, immediately shrinking the defense line and retreating.

    Today, among the entire Tongluo tribe, Tongluo Erlu can be regarded as a first-rate general.

    Huang Mingyuan did not want to fight between Feihu and the Tongluo tribe, so he did not block Tongluo Erlu's retreat.  However, Huang Mingyuan sent someone to send a letter to Tong Luo Erlu and asked him to deliver it to Tong Luo Xieye on his behalf. Huang Mingyuan led his army to the west and met old friends again. In order to reminisce about old friendship, he asked Tong Luo Xieye to come to Lingqiu City for a while.

    Tongluo Fulu had previously tightened the defense line just out of caution, but now he heard that the commander on the opposite side was Huang Mingyuan, and he was shocked.  For people in the Tongluo tribe, Huang Mingyuan is a lingering nightmare.

    Tongluo Fulu also knew that he might not be Huang Mingyuan's opponent, so he ordered his troops and horses to withdraw to Lingqiu overnight.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
