- Zhang Fangyi and Wang Shichong, one went back and the other stayed. It seems that the situation is calm and calm, but those who are thoughtful understand that the storm is about to come, and Luoyang City will not be stable until a bloody storm.
But that has nothing to do with Huang Mingyuan.
In order to avoid suspicion, Huang Mingyuan left Jinyong City early the next morning and headed for Hulao Pass.
Hulao Pass was guarded by Xu Shiji and has not yet surrendered. Huang Mingyuan knew what Xu Shiji was waiting for, so he should give him some face.
Huang Mingyuan¡¯s arrangement for Li Mi actually did not involve Beimang Mountain. After all, in a decisive battle between the two armies, there is always the possibility of something going wrong no matter what, and no one can guarantee a 100% victory.
So for the sake of safety, Huang Mingyuan planned another last move.
A back-up move that can reverse the situation even if the army is defeated.
When Huang Mingyuan went south to Jinyong City to take charge of the decisive battle with Li Mi, General Hu Lusheng led the main force of Longxiang Guards to cross the river from Banzhu and attack Jindi Pass on the north bank of Tongji Canal.
For Li Mi, Luokoucang is the core, Hulao Pass is the key, and Xingyang is his foundation.
Li Mi, the Duke of Wei, nominally surrenders all the lands north of the river and south of the Huaihe River. But in fact, what is really in Li Mi's hands is the Luokoucang area and the entire Xingyang County.
Xingyang County is connected to Hebei in the north, Jianghuai in the south, Qingyan in the east, and Yiluo in the west. It is the heart of the Central Plains. It is also called Zhongzhou and is a battleground for military strategists.
Having controlled Xingyang County, even if Li Mi was lucky enough to win in the Battle of Beimang Mountain, he would only be trapped in an isolated city.
Hu Lusheng's march was very fast. After crossing the Yellow River, the army quickly reached Jindi Pass.
Although Xingyang County has been occupied by Li Mi for more than a year, and the civil affairs have entered the right track, due to the previous persecution of Yu Wenhua and Beishang, the entire Xingyang County is still in chaos and devastated.
Although the guard general Du Caiqian was guarding Jindi Pass, he was actually not in the pass. 强牺 shucang.cc 读牺
After Yu Wenhuaji transferred to Dongjun, Wang Gui was left to guard Suanzao City. As a general of Wei State, Du Caiqian was appointed by Li Mi to recover the cities north of Tongji Canal.
Du Caiqian was a loyal man, so he quickly led his troops northward and surrounded Suizao City.
Wang Gui was trapped in the isolated city, helpless and without the determination to fight to the death, so he quickly chose to surrender.
Seeing that there was no owner of Dongjun, Du Caiqian actually took up Dongjun's mind and led his troops to Dongjun. However, Du Caiqian's troops were not enough, so he had to mobilize more troops, and even Jindi Pass was emptied.
Jindi Pass was located in the hinterland of Wei State, so Du Caiqian relaxed his guard.
??????????????????????? The troops of Hulv Sheng¡¯s tribe came to the city. There were not enough troops in the city, so they quickly broke into the city.
At this point, Jindi Pass, the most important stronghold of Wei State in the north of Tongji Canal, was captured by the Sui army. Du Caiqian's department was actually divided into two parts.
After the main force of the Longxiang Guard broke through the Tongji Canal, Hu Lusheng ignored Du Caigen's troops and turned westward, leading the main force to attack Hulao Pass.
Only by occupying this place can Li Mi be completely locked up in Henan.
As for Du Cai¡¯s Qianbu, they were dealt with by Wang Bian¡¯s troops who went south. Xingyang County was also handed over to Li Jing's Yingyang Guards.
Hulao Pass is an important place.
The person guarding Hulao Pass is Xu Shiji. I have to say that Li Mi arranged Xu Shiji here very cleverly.
Xu Shiji came from a powerful family, and was said in history to have "a family with many children and servants and thousands of bells of chestnuts." However, the family had money but no power, so Xu Shiji followed Zhai Rang in rebellion at the age of nineteen.
Xu Shiji was very optimistic about Li Mi at first. After all, what he wanted was not a bandit leader. There was a honeymoon period between the two parties. It's a pity that Li Mi didn't trust Xu Shiji very much. After killing Zhai Rang, he didn't dare to entrust him with important tasks. He only awarded him the title of Duke of Donghai County and guarded Hulao Pass.
Hu Lusheng did not understand Xu Shiji and thought he was a mediocre person. After all, the entire Wei State was defeated. So Hu Lusheng went straight towards Hulao Pass with his light troops.
Although Hulao Pass was dangerous, the Sui army did not take it seriously.
With the help of black powder, Hu Lusheng thought it would be easy to break through the pass, but Xu Shiji had already made sophisticated defenses against Hulao Pass.
Facing the Sui army, Xu Shiji saw that the situation was not going well, so he had people block the door with huge rocks early in the closing process. When the Sui army blew open the city gate, the city wall did not collapse. After closing the door, there was only earth and rocks. The Sui army still It is impossible to enter the city.
The mountains surrounding Hulao Pass are crisscrossed, creating natural dangers of their own.
Hu Lusheng also tried to send troops to enter from a small road and take the back route of Hulao Pass. Xu Shiji earlyIn preparation, he ordered people to set up ambushes on all sides inside and outside the pass. Every time small groups of Sui troops penetrated into the pass, they were defeated by the Wei army.
Hu Lusheng had no choice but to attack the city step by step.
But the strength of the two sides is about one to two. With such a ratio, it is difficult to attack the city. And Xu Shiji was not a mediocre person. He relied on the strong city and fought frequently with the Sui army. Even though the main force of the Longxiang Guards used all their means and severely wounded the Wei army, the city showed no sign of loosening.
Originally, Long Xiangwei¡¯s surprise attack was in response to the Beimang Mountain War. No one could have expected that until the end of the Beimang Mountain War, Hulao Pass had not been breached by the Sui army.
"If Li Mi returns to Hulao Pass when he is defeated, joins forces with Xu Shiji and rushes into Henan, the result is still unknown.
At least it will be much more difficult for the Sui army to attack Henan.
After the battle at Beimang Mountain, the defense of Hulao Pass lost its meaning, so the Sui army sent envoys to recruit Xu Shiji to surrender. But Xu Shiji closed the door and seemed to be waiting for Li Mi.
Some of his subordinates persuaded Xu Shiji to surrender, but Xu Shiji refused.
"Now the people and land in Hulao Gate are all owned by the Duke of Wei. If I offer it to the Sui Dynasty, it will be the defeat of the lord. I will do it for myself and invite wealth and honor. I am ashamed of it. It is appropriate to record it now. The number of prefectures and counties and the military household registration are all assigned to the Duke of Wei and are at the discretion of the Duke. Whether it is war or surrender is beyond our control." At this time, s hucang.*cc Zhang Si
The generals of the Sui army were very moved after hearing Xu Shiji's words. They all praised "Xu Shiji is grateful for his master's kindness and refuses to take credit. He is indeed a pure minister."
Later, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Dangren and other Wagang brothers also came to persuade Xu Shiji to surrender, but they were unsuccessful.
After Huang Mingyuan found out, he took the opportunity to leave Jinyong City and came in person.
Of course Huang Mingyuan would not believe how loyal Xu Shiji was to Li Mi. If Xu Shiji was really loyal to Li Mi, historically he would have rebelled after Li Mi was killed by the Tang Dynasty.
And Li Mi was as guarded against Xu Shiji as he was against thieves. How serious Xu Shiji must be to be loyal to him.
In fact, from the perspective of history, Xu Shiji is just an old fox. The collapse of the entire Guanlong Group¡¯s grandson family started with Xu Shiji¡¯s hindrance.
But for Huang Mingyuan, no matter what Xu Shiji thinks, whether he is really loyal or just acting, Huang Mingyuan is willing to give him face.
It also gives face to the old people of Wagang.
Sure enough, when Huang Mingyuan arrived at Hulao Pass, Xu Shiji seemed to have figured it out and stopped being loyal. Soon he obediently climbed down the city wall and surrendered to Huang Mingyuan. Zhida z.com Zhixiao
