The resolution was immediately issued, and the departments immediately entered Shangxian Town and began to distribute military rations and make rice and rest.

How bold a person is, how rich the land is.

I have to say that the kind of commander will have the kind of generals, and then the kind of soldiers there will be. Ten thousand Chen soldiers, at this time, already knew that they would set out on a journey tomorrow and would use ten thousand soldiers to challenge Xiao Guan’s at least possible 200,000 enemy troops. However, unexpectedly, it was also expected that after learning the news, the entire army did not have any fear, anxiety or resistance.

The Chen army is a strange army. Since the early days of the Pojun Camp, they have been a unit that is good at fighting unusual wars. Ambush, raid, raid, and raid wars, with fewer battles, and with fewer battles, with fewer battles. This is a unit that has always been good at creating miracles, an army that cannot be treated with ordinary eyes.

The army has military souls, which were born by the founders of this army and are salivated by the beliefs of the original generals and soldiers of this army.

Ten thousand to twenty hundred thousand is not a breakthrough battle that has to be faced, nor is it a city defense battle that has no choice. This is a raid battle that can be raided thousands of miles, a completely proactive war.

No one was afraid, everyone was extremely calm, eating what they should eat and drinking what they should drink. Many soldiers were still exclaiming loudly about the extra beef, mutton, wine and meat they sent today, without any slightest concern.

But what are you worried about?

Dachen values ​​military merits the most, and only military merits are the easiest to achieve.

Who doesn’t want to achieve fame and wealth?

Looking for a title of marquis from thousands of miles away!

Look at how many kings, princes, ministers, princes, lords and counts in the court, how many of those nobles were once the same peasant legs as them, and how many were just ordinary hunters like them, but now they can ride horses and high-ranking officials can sit, and they can win their wives and children. Who doesn’t envy them?

Now there is such an opportunity. With the sword and gun in your hand and your own courage, you can earn wealth for several lifetimes and shine your family. Who would miss such an opportunity? Instead of facing the loess and carrying food in the soil for the rest of your life, they are more willing to bet on the future with today. What's more, even if you lose the bet, what's there to worry about? The court had a generous pension system, and the soldiers who died on the battlefield did not have to worry about what happened behind them at all. The people behind them were taken care of by the court.

Everyone was filled with anger, calm on their faces, and excitedly waiting for the near-term battle.

Fighting, fighting, the soldiers of the Chen army are never afraid of fighting, they are afraid of only no chance of fighting.

On the west gate of Shangxian County, Chen Kedi was wearing armor and looked at the western sky from afar.

Looking at his subordinates who were looking forward to the war, his heart was extremely excited.

"How can I get a tiger's son if I'm not as good as a tiger's den?" Chen Kedi's chest was boiling with blood, and his hands holding the sword were separated by force. Although he had become the leader of the army at the age of sixteen, he was more looking forward to the next battle than anyone else.

More than anyone else in his heart, he hoped to prove to everyone that the emperor valued him correctly. He wanted to prove himself that he was not only the grandson of that person, but also that when others talked about his grandfather in the future, he said that he was Chen Kedi's grandfather.

And there was another voice in his heart telling himself that even if he could not attack Xiaoguan and could not defeat the coalition forces. At that time, he could completely miss a single attack and escape immediately. The north of Xiaoguan was Lingwu. He could completely lead his army to run away from Lingwu. Even if Lingwu could not defend, he could still escape from Mobei. He brought all cavalry and could not attack, and there were also most of the troops left here. As long as he could take Longshang at that time, he would have completed the emperor's mission.

While excited, Chen Kedi gradually pondered in his heart.

This matter needs to be planned carefully and planned well. The 200,000 enemy troops is indeed not a small number. Although these 200,000 enemy troops will be soldiers from the Three Kingdoms, there are even conspiracies and plans between the Three Kingdoms, and these soldiers are not a complete group.

But even so, you have to plan carefully. You can despise your opponent strategically, but when it comes to specific tactical arrangements, you must pay attention to your opponent. These are what the emperor said to him when he was with him.

The next day, before dawn, the entire army had already started to make meals at the fourth update. At the fifth update, a ray of light appeared in the sky, and Chen Kedi handed over the city defense of Shangxian to Li Junxian, the commander of the Kuanglong Camp who arrived overnight. Then he ordered 10,000 light cavalry and divided them into two strands. One of them was under the banner of Hou Zhou, wearing the collected military uniforms of Hou Zhou style armor and uniforms, and under the banner of Ma Wu.

The other five thousand people were all light helmets and light armor. They did not use the banner and unified the black armor, and followed the troops in front for more than ten miles.

The army followed the road at the foot of the ancient Great Wall, along the road from Diaoyin to Shuofang and Yan'an, Yanchuan and Honghua, Lingwu and Pingliang, and the remote roads on the border between the counties and counties. They tried their best to avoid the towns of each county and county, and completely followed the mountain roads, and only two of them met the defenders of the Houzhou area.

Fortunately, there was Ma Wu's official defense seal and Liu Wuzhou's military order. Although the number was slightly different, not three thousand but five thousand, after explanation and a lot of gold and silver gifts, they passed it safely.

It took about ten days along the way. On the first day of November, Chen Kedi and Hu Hai, two soldiers and horses, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, finally entered Pingliang County. Following the Chuanshui River, Chen's army quietly headed south, hiding out at night, and finally quietly drove to Longshan Mountain, only a hundred miles away from Xiaoguan.

The vast Longshan Mountain is the largest mountain in the northwest.

This big mountain is also the most important mountain in the northwest. It is bounded by Longshan Mountain, with Longxi in the west, Longyou in the northeast, and Guanzhong in the southeast. Between the dangerous mountains and hills on Long, there is also the most important gateway in the northwest, Xiaoguan, one of the four gates in Guanzhong.

The northwest and Longshang Guyuan are like lips and teeth, and the Huamachi area in the northeast is the key to entering and exiting the border. From Lingzhou to the south to the county city, from Guyuan to Yansui, each with more than 400 miles apart, and only this county has four directions. It is the gateway to Guanzhong in Longyou and the key to Binning.

Xiaoguan, also known as Longshanguan, is located in the southeast of Guyuan, Ningxia. The Longshan Mountains lie across the northwest of Guanzhong and serve as its northwest barrier. The main passages from Longshan to Guanzhong are the Wei River, Jing River and other rivers that pass through the low valleys cut into. The mountains in the Wei River are relatively steep, while the Jing River is relatively simple. Xiaoguan stands at the Longshan Pass under the danger, guarding the passage from the Jing River to Guanzhong. Xiaoguan is an important pass in the northwest of Guanzhong, protecting the security of Guanzhong. Once Xiaoguan is lost, the northwest forces will take Jingzhou and go down to Chang'an, which will become a high-level situation.

Therefore, this strategic location has been an important pass since the Qin Dynasty. At this time, Xiaoguan was no longer just a city of passes, but was integrated with the Great Wall. Xiaoguan is also the city built on the Great Wall. The Qin Great Wall of the Warring States Period went from west to east, crossed the Yangtze River, crossed the former Xiaoguan Road, built blocks along the river, built cities and passes the Xiaoguan at this intersection. The Xiaoguan at the intersection is the gate built on the Great Wall, and is also one of the earliest gates in the history of the Great Wall. Its strategic location is extremely important.

This time, the alliance between various countries, due to geographical reasons, the four northwest countries formed a Allied Forces.

The 100,000 allied troops of the four countries gathered here at Xiaoguan, the northwest gate, and then went out to Tongguan, the eastern gate of Guanzhong, crossed the Yellow River to attack Hedong, and headed directly to Taiyuan.

A few years ago, Xiaoguan was once captured by Xue Ju. At that time, the overlord of Western Qin, Xiao Ju, led his army to advance eastward and killed a hundred miles below Chang'an City. Later, Yuwen Chengdu hurriedly led his army back from Hanzhong, fought with Xue Ju for 18 battles, and finally drove Xue Ju back to Hexi and recovered Xiaoguan again.

Since Yuwen Chengdu recovered Xiaoguan, he also learned a lesson in his heart. From then on, he withdrew the Yuwen family, who was originally stationed in Xiaoguan, and appointed Wei Wen, the general of Guanlong, to be promoted to General Xiaoguan. After Wei Wen was promoted to General Guanlong, he was originally a left-behind leader in Xijing and General Tongguan.

Later, he joined forces with Yuwen and fought against Yang Ming, originally to make the King of Dai Yang You the emperor. In the end, he took Li Yuan's secret move. He was defeated in Taiyuan and was seriously injured. After returning to Chang'an, Yu Wenhe took the opportunity to take control of the military and political power of Chang'an. Wei Wensheng was defeated. After his injury healed, although Yu Wenhe gave him Situ, Zuowu Guard, and Duke of Qin, he actually became an idle person.

Wei Wensheng was considered a person who knew the times. In this situation, he had no other ideas. After defeating Xue Ju, Yu Wensheng saw that Wei Wensheng had performed well before, so he raised the few veterans in Guanzhong who could fight and appointed him as the marshal of Xiao Guan.

Since Wei Wensheng guarded Xiaoguan, although Liu Wuzhou and Xue Ju have always been interested in spying on Guanzhong, with this commander Xiaoguan, who is known as the Huadao Commander, both sides can only wait for the opportunity.

This time, Yu Wenhe had found a position of leader for himself, so he excitedly gave his son Yuwen Chengdu the position of marshal of the Allied vanguard, and asked him to lead the Allied troops to fight against Hedong.

Yuwen Chengdu led his army to leave Tongguan. For safety reasons, Yu Wensheng was ready to transfer Wei Wensheng to the position of Yuwen Chengdu after the Allied Army was on the expedition, and then his second son, Wang Yuwen Chengzhi of Jin, took over as the position of General Xiaoguan.

He was still clear about the ability to command troops between his sons Yuwen Chengzhi and Wei Wensheng, so as soon as Yuwen Chengdu left, he really did not let go of the front line pass directly with the Chen Dynasty. Thinking about it, Wei Wensheng came to guard the army, Xiao Guan was worried for a while, so he had to replace his two sons.

His arrangement was considered to be perfect, but he didn't know that the result made Liu Wuzhou and Xue Ju, who had been waiting for the opportunity, open their eyes wide. The opportunity they had been waiting for for several years finally came. With a heroic pass like Xiao Guan and a famous general like Wei Wensheng, Liu Wuzhou and Xue Ju did not dare to move lightly.

But now Yuwen Chengdu is going to lead the Yuwen army to expedition to Hedong, and Wei Wensheng has to move to Tongguan again and send a young man like Yuwen Chengzhi who has never fought a decent battle several times. In the eyes of the two heroes, this is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

As the date of the coalition forces approached, under the majestic fortress Xiaoguan City, troops from various countries continued to gather. And in this vast land in the northwest, there were still troops and horses lurking in unknown hidden places.

Who is the mantis and who is the oriole?
