The land of Beiliang runs east-west, and it has a long bordering line from west to east with Daxin. Between Beiliang and Daxin, in addition to Meiguan in the northeast, there is an important pass in the middle, Xuanmenguan. Xuanmenguan is the gateway for Daxin and Beiliang to enter and exit in the middle. Whether it is the Beiliang side or the Daxin side, if you cross Xuanmenguan, you can go straight down to the cities and towns of the two countries, whether it is the former dynasty or the Daxin side. Daxin, the Xuanmen Pass is a pass that the emperors of all dynasties attach great importance to, because once the pass is broken, his geographical location and terrain can only allow the two countries to exchange fire, or Daxin will go straight to Beiliang , or the North Liang went south, directly occupying the Daxin land south of Xuanmen Pass.
The news of the emergency at Xuanmen Pass was unpreventable, and while the officials were still arguing with Emperor Yongye over who should be the king, the news from Xuanmen Pass directly stunned many ministers to the point of speechlessness Come.
The voices about Lizhu naturally came to an abrupt end. In the face of such foreign aggression, Lizhu's internal worries have been considered by the volunteers to be nothing more than that.
At the Xuanmen Pass, Daxin and Beiliang naturally had conflicts from time to time, but there was never any emergency.
Xuanmen Pass has always been guarded by General Shouyuan, a veteran general who followed the former emperor in the Northern Expedition. The so-called Xuanmen Pass was in a hurry. The army is coming towards Xuanmen Pass, and there are only less than 200,000 soldiers in Xuanmen Pass at this time, and more importantly, the leader of the troops this time is General Beiliang who has returned from the battlefield of Xiyuan , Gan Cheng.
Ever since Gan Ji lost the three lines of defense, no matter how much the Empress Dowager Gan loved her younger brother, she still acted angrily. After some consideration and discussions with the courtiers, she directly transferred Gan Cheng back from Xiyuan. , has entered the summer, Beiliang is rich in food and grass, and began to send troops.
Daxin and Xiyuan have already formed an alliance. This is an established fact. Beiliang will naturally not sit still. Before Xiyuan and Daxin jointly launch an offensive, Beiliang must seize the opportunity and strive for the initiative. Beiliang launched the offensive first, so Beiliang will be in a passive position.
Emperor Yongye's body was originally a little weak, and when he heard the news, his whole complexion looked even worse. However, at the first moment, he directly called the important ministers to the court to directly discuss important matters.
At the same time, in the Blue Eagle Barracks.
Su Yunchu is receiving a letter from Yunming from Jiecheng. Yunji has successfully settled in Jiecheng, and, with these three or four months, he has already gained enough influence. In the former war zone, Yunji's Appearance is undoubtedly a timely help.
Similarly, after the ten guards escorted Jingyi to Xiyuan, they had successfully turned back. However, this time, they didn't go back directly to Beijing or Jiangnan, but were sent directly to Ancheng by Su Yunchu. There, there was something left for them. task.
The letter from Yunming and the letter from the ten guards arrived at the same time. Just when Emperor Yongye received the urgent message from Xuanmen Pass, Su Yunchu also received the news from the ten guards that Beiliang might dispatch troops. Moreover, It is very likely to go to the Xuanmen Gate.
She frowned, took the letter to find Murong Yuan, and Murong Yuan was also in the camp at this time, and at the same time received the news that Emperor Yongye had summoned him back to Beijing and the news that the Xuanmen Pass was urgent.
Su Yunchu took the letter and walked straight in, "Huaiqing, Xuanmenguan..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the bright yellow imperial decree in Murong Yuan's hand and a letter marking the source of the Prince Jing's own news.
Su Yunchu frowned, "Is something really wrong at Xuanmen Pass?"
Murong Yuan nodded, with a serious expression on his face, he looked at the letter in Su Yunchu's hand, pursed his lips, but stared straight at Su Yunchu.
Su Yunchu was puzzled.
I saw Murong Yuan looking at Su Yunchu and said, "Ah Chu, can't you go back to Beijing with me?"
Su Yunchu frowned, and looked at Murong Yuan's condensed face with firm eyes. There was already something in her heart that she could understand, but she said firmly, "Huaiqing, I'm going to Xuanmen Pass."
Murong Yuan sighed, "Isn't it good to go to Ancheng?"
"You know." Su Yunchu looked at Murong Yuan, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
Murong Yuan felt a little helpless on his face, the original serious expression had disappeared, and he just stretched out his hand to rub Su Yunchu's face, "Then, Ah Chu, be careful and wait for me at Xuanmen Pass."
In the evening of that day, Murong Yuan quickly returned to the capital, but before Murong Yuan left the Blue Eagle Barracks, Su Yunchu led Ying Li and Mu Han to stealthily go to Xuanmen Pass.
This time, the game between Beiliang and Daxin will not end easily. Beiliang is prepared, and Daxin is also prepared. The Northern Expedition, which has been interrupted for nearly two years, has begun again. Beiliang's wolf ambition wants to occupy the fertile soil. Daxin also wants to annex the mineral-rich Xiyuan. Then, with no generals in the court, especially Murong Yuan is very familiar with Beiliang. Under such circumstances, no matter what worries Emperor Yongye has, They will let Murong Yuan lead the troops to go out.
However, because Emperor Yongye was afraid of Murong Yuan, he would definitely find a way to seize Murong Yuan's life, so that even if Murong Yuan led the 800,000 Northern Expeditionary Army, no matter when, it would be impossible for him to fight against Daxin and the capital. opportunity for intimidation.
Then, Murong Yuan's life gate is undoubtedly Su Yunchu.
When Murong Yuan went to war, Emperor Yongye would definitely keep Su Yunchu in the capital. After the Northern Expedition ended, no matter what the outcome was, Su Yunchu would become a means for Emperor Yongye to suppress Murongyuan.
Therefore, here, Su Yunchu must first leave the capital before Emperor Yongye reacts and detains Su Yunchu in the capital.
Judging from Beiliang's marching speed and the speed at which the news was sent back, Xuanmen Pass has been in chaos for at least ten days, and General Shouyuan's strength is based on Xuanmen Pass's strength of less than 200,000 troops. , under strict defense, at most it can persist for more than half a month.
