Shenzhou, the capital of Pingyang, is now almost over the sun, but the gates of Pingyang are still closed. The soldiers on the city walls are walking back and forth in groups of three or three so that the supervisors who check positions from time to time can see them and let the other party confirm that they are performing their vigilance duties.

Shenzhou is located in the southwest of Yuzhou. The Tongbai Mountains are located on the south side of Pingyang of the prefecture. The three passes of Yiyang above are the passes on the north-south passage between Tongbai Mountain. The so-called "Yiyang" is the former name of Pingyang.

The bloody storm over hundreds of years has made the three passes of Yiyang a must-fight for military strategists. Pingyang (Yiyang) on ​​the northern foot of Tongbai Mountain is the northern gateway of Yiyang’s three passes. The enemy troops coming from the south who break through the three passes must conquer Pingyang (Yiyang) in order to gain a foothold in the northern foot of Tongbai Mountain.

Therefore, in order to guard against the sneak attack of Anzhou troops in Shannan, Pingyang City is now under strict vigilance. Although there is a moat in the south of the city, the gate is closed even during the day. The occasionally opened south gate only allows convoys to transport food and grass to enter and exit. Ordinary people have to go to the north gate if they want to enter and exit the city.

The north gate will be closed most of the time and will be opened occasionally for people to pass by, but even so, pedestrians must undergo strict inspection before entering and exiting.

Similarly, in order to prevent the enemy from entering the city by impersonating the name of the enemy, even public servants such as messengers had to present certificates and accept inquiries. It was not a big deal in the state bureau, but it was really important and had to act cautiously.

Not long ago, Jingxiang, Shannan rebelled, and the imperial court mobilized a large army to attack. The main force of the Yuzhou official army attacked Jingzhou Fangcheng, and the official army attacked the five passes of Dabie Mountain in Guangzhou.

At the same time, the officers and soldiers attacking the three passes of Yiyang were just feinted attacks, and their troops were not large. Once they were counterattacked by the opponent, Pingyang would be easily attacked.

Of course, there is Yongzhou to the north, Yuzhou to the northeast, and Xizhou to the east. As long as the Pingyang garrison guards for several days, reinforcements will inevitably arrive, and the invading enemy can only retreat in shame.

Therefore, for the Pingyang defenders, guarding against enemy attacks is the most important thing.

There are three passes on Tongbai Mountain to guard three important roads, but this does not mean that you can only walk these three roads when you cross Tongbai Mountain. A small group of elite troops can completely avoid these three roads, and you can also travel north and south through mountains and ridges.

If such a small elite force wants to attack, it will be difficult for Pingyang to keep guarding, so the government simply implements access control and implements joint defense in the city. Once a stranger is found in Gelifang, he must immediately send him to the government.

Under strict precautions, Pingyang City dare not say it is solid, but at least everyone can sleep more peacefully at night.

"Hey, have you seen that mountain? It is called Xianshou Mountain, also known as Xianyin Mountain. According to legend, the great wise man Zhou Pan lived in seclusion here and was named after it..."

In the west of the city, two men on the city tower were looking into the distance, pointing to Xianshou Mountain several miles away from the outskirts of the city. They were dressed in white, which was in sharp contrast with the soldiers who were guarding the city in military uniforms.

"So this is Xianshou Mountain... Could it be the place where Emperor Gaozu of Liang defeated the enemy?"

"That's right, I wonder if you have ever heard the song "Xianshou Mountain"?"

"Well, I was in Guangling in the past and I heard people sing, but it sounds quite passionate, as if it was for military music?"

"That's right, this is a music from Xiaoliang's army. What can you do, what can you do..."

Among the two, the thinner man said helplessly. He looked around and found that the soldiers were far apart, so he slapped the wall and hummed: "Xianshou Mountain is dangerous and steep. Take the Xianxiu and rely on the Hu formation..."

"Cheng Qimo, fight for the soldiers and enslaves. He cut off the white horse, blocked the flying fox, slayed the sun, wiped out the bone capital, barbed Guli, and breeze the forest. The grass was moist, and the original was also painted..."

"There is no rebellion, and the curtain is covered with black. It swept away the evil, shocked the Rong people. It is Yang Kai's song, showing joy. It is chanting the Du, and the Jingwu..."

The singing was very low, and the other person couldn't help but sing along as he listened. After singing the last three words "Zhun Jing Wu", he sighed: "Zhun Jing Wu... Now the Northern Army has almost captured Jiankang, why are you still spinning..."

"Isn't this going to be repelled?" The thin man smiled, his smile full of bitterness.

"Forget it, he doesn't feel sorry for the Chen Guan family's country. Why do we common people feel heartbroken?"

"That's not the case. Wars are going to be fought every now and then. Seeing that chaos begins again, Jiang Biao is still safer."

"Safety? Jiangzhou is over. It is said that Lingbiao is over. Only the three Wus are left. There are so many people in Jiangbei, so there will definitely be not enough food. If the chaos comes, then it will be Yizi's food!"

The current situation is turbulent, and the current affairs are always depressing. The two of them fell silent. They were businessmen. They were traveling by Pingyang with goods a month ago, and wanted to cross Tongbai Mountain to go south to Anlu to do business.

As a result, the situation suddenly changed. The official army said that it would seek rebellion. The roads on Tongbai Mountain were cut off. The goods of the two happened to exist in the city's residence. As a result, they were all blocked by the government and then requisitioned for "paid". In fact, the compensation given was similar to that of no.

Seeing that the capital was about to lose all, the two of them were anxious. They had been running around the city for a while, looking for ways to find connections everywhere. When they were so busy that they only received a piece of paper.

The government said that the government army is now attacking the Shannan rebels, and suddenly there is no time to allocate supplies when the incident occurs, so they "temporarily" requisition their supplies. After the rebels are pacified, they will use this piece of paper with the types and quantities of goods to collect the corresponding quantity of goods from the state office.

The matter has come to this point, and the two of them have been working hard in vain. Since they dare to go out for business, they know that the risk of business is very high. Anyway, they are fine, so they will make money next time.

However, they felt very depressed, so they walked up to the city and looked into the distance to relax. Anyway, they were familiar with each other when they were unblocking their relationship, so the defending generals turned a blind eye to let them go up to the city and relax.

Looking at Xianshou Mountain outside the city, the two couldn't help but sigh. According to legend, nearly a hundred years ago, when the Yuan Wei and Xiao Qi were confronting each other, the Wei army marched south to attack the Huai River in Qi. Yiyang (now Pingyang), which was in the upper reaches of the Huai River, was in great trouble.

The Qi army then counterattacked the entire line. The main force of the Qi army on the western front crossed Tongbai Mountain and attacked the Wei army besieged Yiyang. A Qi army marched along the Qingshui River originating from Tongbai Mountain and camped on Xianshou Mountain where the Qingshui River flowed through.

Yiyang is downstream of Xianshou Mountain. The Wei soldiers besieged in the city saw the dense Qi army flags on Xianshou Mountain. They did not know how many troops they had, so they did not dare to act rashly.

When the Qi army in Yiyang arrived, the morale was greatly boosted and the Wei army was attacked from both inside and outside. Seeing that the Wei army could not do anything, the general who led the Qi army to appear in Xianshou Mountain was Xiao Yan, the later Emperor Gaozu of Xiao Liang.

Later, someone used this to make a drum music called "Xianshou Mountain". This song was passionate and was one of the military music of Xiaoliang.

Originally, Xiao Liang could take advantage of the rebellion of the six towns of the Yuan and Wei dynasties to the Northern Expedition, but later the Hou Jing Rebellion broke out. From then on, the Southern Dynasty's reign disappeared. Now, the Southern Dynasty's Chen State is about to be finished.

Although the situation in the Zhou State suddenly changed, no one thought that Yuwen could last long. Thinking about the fact that if the Yuchi family changed its dynasty, it would inevitably unify the Central Plains. From then on, the world will not be peaceful.

Wars have been raging for hundreds of years, and the people who are unlucky are the people. No matter how hard they are, it is always better to live in a chaotic world than to die.

"Yuwen's family is finished, and Huangzhou Xiyang is finished, and it's hard to do business. What a pity... Hum? What are you looking at?"

The thin man looked into the distance along the other person's gaze and looked at Xianshou Mountain. After a while, he rubbed his eyes and continued to look. Today, the rain was clear and the light was good. He seemed to see black smoke rising from the Xianshou Mountain.

It is said that the government army has camps in Xianshou Mountain, guarding the upper reaches of the Xishou River. Now black smoke is coming. Could it be that the camps have caught fire?

A boat was floating down the river, with bloodstained from the sails. The defenders in the west of the city gathered in the southwest corner, waiting for the ships to flow downstream and floated by the southwest corner of Pingyang City. Everyone who saw clearly the situation on the ship took a breath.

There were many bloody heads piled on the boat!

The ship full of heads was stopped when passing through the floating bridge in the south of the city. The defenders found several letters on the ship. When they opened it, they all saw the same content. After saying that, they meant the same thing: surrender.

That was the Anzhou Army's letter of persuasion to surrender. The other party claimed that they had sent troops to Xianshou Mountain, and the camp there had been changed to its owners. The head of the ship was the head of the defender. The Anzhou Army broke through the three passes of Tongbai Mountain in the near future, so the Pingyang Army should not resist meaninglessly and surrender quickly.

The Pingyang defenders responded quickly and sent cavalry to Xuanhu for help. Less than an hour after the envoy left the city, dust was ripped out of the north suburbs of the city, and flags were waving. It seemed that a large number of cavalry were approaching.

Even if the Anzhou army on the southern foot of Tongbai Mountain crosses mountains and ridges to attack Pingyang, it is impossible for them to carry so many horses to cross the mountains, so...
Chapter completed!
