Located at the exit of the southern end of the river valley, the two mountains are thousands of feet high and one stream is rushing. It is the most dangerous pass among the five passes of Dabie Mountains. The road it guards is north-south, with the southern end being the southern Dingzhou Prefecture Menglong, and the northern end being the southern Jianzhou Prefecture Pinggao.

The southwest of Yinshan Pass is the upper reaches of the Jushui canyon, which originates from the Dabie Mountains and flows southward, and then passes through Menglang City and finally flows into the Yangtze River; the northeast of Yinshan Pass is the upper reaches of the Guanshui canyon, which originates from the Dabie Mountains and flows northward, and then passes through Pinggao and flows into the Huai River.

Yinshan Pass is located at the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain. Like Muling Pass (Muling Pass), it is the two most important passes among the five passes of Dabie Mountain. It has been confronted by north and south for hundreds of years and has experienced countless wars.

The Southern and Northern Army surrounded Muling Pass and Yinshan Pass, and several major wars broke out, and repeatedly fought for the two passes and related garrisons, each of which invested thousands or even more than ten thousand troops.

Muling Pass guards the Guanghuang Road, while Yinshan Pass guards another important passage that crosses the north and south of the Dabie Mountains. Therefore, as the general Tian Xingshou, who led his troops to attack Yinshan Pass, this pass must be taken down.

The emperor was assassinated and died. The rebels were killed by the lord and rebels. The imperial army immediately attacked Guanzhong, where Yuwen Liang and his son were occupied by Yuwen Liang, and Shannan. Prime Minister Yuchi Dun personally dispatched troops and came to five groups to attack Huangzhou, Shannan.

Therefore, if you want to attack the five gates of Dabie Mountains at the same time, Tian Xingshou did not want to fall behind the other four groups of troops, so as not to appear incompetent.

He was favored by the Prime Minister and was responsible for attacking Yinshan Pass, one of the most important passes. With 8,000 troops, there were also countless thunderstorms. If he could not capture Yinshan Pass, Tian Xingshou would have no shame to go back and report his life.

He has no face to face his father's tablet.

About sixteen years ago, Zhou Jing, the general who was guarding the six prefectures in Jiangbei, returned to the court. Tian Longsheng, the governor of Dingzhou, rebelled into Qi with the seven prefectures in Jiangbei. Qi reinforcements crossed the Dabie Mountains to reinforce, and Zhou Jing immediately led his troops to quell the rebellion.

Tian Long was promoted to the head of the Jiangbei chief commander. After launching the rebellion, he mobilized all chief commanders to a total of nearly 100,000 troops, including Tian Longyan, the prefect of Yiyang. The chief commanders each led their troops to guard the important areas as a support. The Qi army stationed in Muling and Yinshan Passes as support, and only the Jiangbei was as solid as a golden soup.

As a result, Zhou Jing divided his troops to block Tian Longsheng's army and personally led the brave attack on Tian Longsheng. After defeating the enemy in one battle, the Tian family's troops were dispersed. Tian Longsheng and Tian Longyan were beheaded. Seeing this, the Qi army retreated north. Chen State restored the six prefectures in Jiangbei, occupied the two passes of Muling and Yinshan, and confronted Qi State through the Dabie Mountains.

Time passed, Tian Longyan, who died at Zhou Jing's hands, and his son Tian Xingshou led his troops back.

When Tian Longsheng joined the Northern Dynasties, Hetian Longyan and others sent their sons to Qi as their hostages. Tian Xingshou, who was still a young man at that time, was sent to Yecheng by his father Tian Longyan. As a result, the Tian family was soon defeated and he became a native of Qi.

When Qi was destroyed, Tian Xingshou became a native of Zhou, and not long after, the son of his enemy Zhou Jing also became a native of Zhou.

Zhou Jing was in charge of the six prefectures in Jiangbei for Chen State. He died of illness on his post. Not long after, his second son Zhou Fashang offended King Chen Guofan and was falsely accused of rebellion. The Zhou family was in trouble, and Zhou Fashang had to defect to Zhou State.

Zhou Jing's three sons, the eldest son Zhou Faseng, were arrested and died in prison. Only the second son Zhou Fashang and the third son Zhou Faming fled to the Zhou Kingdom. Zhou Fashang was attracted by Emperor Tianyuan at that time and became the governor, which made Tian Xingshou want to take revenge but could not find a chance.

Later, Emperor Tianyuan suddenly died, and civil strife broke out in the Zhou State. The war lasted for seven or eight years. Tian Xingshou fought bloody battles and promoted the general with his military merits exchanged for his life. The Zhou Fashang brothers were in Shannan and were said to have joined the Yuwen family.

Since the second year of Daxiang, Tian Xingshou has been a general of the Yuchi family, so he gradually saw hope of revenge. This time, the court attacked the rebel thieves Yuwen Liang and his son and sent troops to attack Huangzhou, Shannan. Tian Xingshou finally had the opportunity to take revenge.

Back then, Zhou Jing pacified the Tian family and killed them very widely. The only son of Tian Longyan, the prefect of Yiyang, was left with Tian Xingshou, who now has two sons, so if Tian Xingshou wants to take revenge, he has to conquer Hengzhou and Ezhou.

He had inquired about relevant information, so he knew that Zhou Fa was the governor of Ezhou, so his family should be in Ezhou; his younger brother Zhou Faming served as the Sima of Hengzhou, and now he marched with Lingnan Road to expedition to Lingbing, and his family should be in Hengzhou.

Since he wanted to take revenge, he would first arrest the families of these two brothers, so he had to conquer Hengzhou and Ezhou, and then capture the two brothers. He would gather enough of his family and comfort his father's spirit in heaven.

Can this wish come true? Surely!

Tian Xingshou looked at Yinshan Pass in front of him, which was covered in thick smoke, and a faint smile appeared on his face. Yinshan Pass is not a powerful pass that has never been broken. When Xiao Liang and Yuan Wei confronted each other, Yinshan Pass changed hands several times.

The attack and defense of the passes that occupy a favorable geographical location are nothing more than human life. Now that both sides have the Sky Thunder, it depends on who has the Sky Thunder in their hands. Tian Xingshou is very confident in this, because they have sufficient supplies in advance for this battle, including Sky Thunder.

It is said that the weapon of the Sky Thunder was used by Yuwen Liang and his son in Shannan for the first time in combat, but now they are bombarded by the Sky Thunder. Tian Xingshou doesn't need to think about how it feels.

A wall was knocked down, and the attack and defense immediately fought a bloody battle around the break. Not long after, another wall was knocked down. Tian Xingshou looked at the sky and felt that before sunset today, he would definitely be able to take down Yinshan Pass.

It took only three days before his troops arrived at Yinshan Pass and joined the troops who had previously attacked. After breaking through the pass, it was only three days before he arrived at Nandingzhou Prefecture, and it was only three days to march.

Of course, there will definitely be ambushers from the Huangzhou army on the way, and they have to find ways to harass or even ambush them, so the speed of advancement cannot be so fast. The terrain along the way is very complicated. If you stop and stop, you may not be able to get into the cage for ten days and half a month.

But this is not a problem for Tian Xingshou, because the official army went south to fight against rebellion this time, and there were righteous men helping him.

Several men with some special clothing came to Tian Xingshou's central tent under the guidance of the soldiers. When they spoke, they spoke in the language of the silence, and the generals present could not understand it. Only Tian Xingshou could talk to these people in the same language.

In the Dabie Mountains, countless tribes of all sizes are gathered, which are called "mountain barbarians" by the Central Plains governments. These mountain barbarians have fought with local governments for hundreds of years, and they can't be defeated and hide in the mountains.

Sometimes the government would surrender with generous conditions. Many mountain barbarians, led by their leaders, walked out of the mountains and settled on the plains. The leaders had a half-official position, and the tribes they belonged to became good people under the indirect management of the government.

Gradually, the Shanman tribes had surnames, mostly with Tian, ​​Lu, Ran and others as their surnames, so Tian Xingshou, who originated from Shanman, and these "Datian", "Xiaotian", and "Laotian" were considered their own people.

These people originally lived in the mountains around Yinshanguan, but were destroyed by some scums. Now they volunteered to be guides for the government army, just waiting to take revenge on those scums.

While talking, cheers came from the direction of Yinshan Pass. Everyone looked into the distance again, but saw more and more soldiers from their own sides pouring into the brink, and Yinshan Pass was about to change its ownership.
