Seeing that Chen Hai was leading his troops north to capture Wusheng Pass, Zhao Zhong immediately gathered 100,000 elite troops from Yanjing City, and then joined 50,000 elite troops led by Yu Haode, deputy general of Huxiao Camp, and marched north towards Wusheng Pass. .
In the last few days of Emperor Yitian's eighty-third year, the Xiyuan Army began to shrink the defense line outside Wusheng Pass. After completely destroying dozens of fortifications, dozens of garrison troops were withdrawn to Wusheng Pass. This declared that the Xiyuan Army had completely given up control of the area south of Wusheng Pass and north of Beijing.
The defeat of the Nine Feud Allied Forces means that Chen Hai's channels through Liquan, Tongbeifu, Tongzhongfu, and Qintongguan to reinforce the Gyeonggi region have been completely opened, which means that up to 200,000 Longxiang troops and Guining troops can be reinforced at any time. Guining City.
The Shenling Mountain Academy, the most powerful symbol of the sect's power, had all its offerings, teachers, and disciples evacuated, and fell completely under the control of the Su Wei Army. At this time, the inner court had a tacit understanding and secretly relaxed its control over Yanjing City. control.
In the Wushengguan meeting hall, King Wei sat in the middle wearing a python robe, watching Tu Que and the others discussing the details of their final withdrawal from Wushengguan, feeling filled with emotion in his heart.
After Yuting City raised the banner, the situation was just as Chen Hai expected. Hundreds of small and medium-sized sect disciples would come to seek refuge every day.
Tu Que took the silk book and unfolded it, his face darkened immediately. He passed it around to everyone before finally handing it to King Wei.
The Xiyuan Army is about to retreat. Wusheng Pass is the most important pass in the northern part of the Gyeonggi Plain and the key to controlling the northern region of Beijing. Even on the bright side, Chen Hai should not sit back and watch Wusheng Pass fall into the hands of the Su Wei Army.
The six clans will not only occupy Jiyang County first, but also move eastward through Jiyang County into the northern and central areas of Lichuan County, filling the space left after Yu Zonghu led his troops to leave Lichuan County. At the same time, the six clans will withdraw northward. , plundered all the large stores of food in the Gyeonggi Plain, and the 500,000-strong army under the imperial court consumed 1.5 million jins of military rations every day, even if the several large warehouses controlled by the Suwei Army could last for a period of time , but they have lost the support of the vast majority of small and medium-sized clans, and the bureaucracy in the northern, eastern, and southern regions of Beijing has collapsed. After several large warehouses are exhausted, they can still harvest more grain and food from the Gyeonggi region. Other supplies
These three pass cities, forming the South Pass of Wusheng Pass, can close the passage from Jiyang County to the capital from the south slope of Yanshan Mountain. Of course, if the Suwei Army or the Longxiang Army cannot seize the Zhongguan and Beiguan in the north, , and cannot enter Jiyang County where the six clans have temporarily taken refuge.
In this situation, they could not let Chen Hai take away Wusheng Pass and completely control the northern Beijing area.
King Wei took the bright yellow dragon-patterned brocade book. The first thing that caught his eye was the words in the silk book. He was stunned and muttered to himself: "The emperor's son returned to Ninghou to challenge the eunuchs and spread the word to the world." Book… "
At this time, the Longxiang Army has controlled Yandangyuan, Qintong Mountain and the western Beijing area. The supply of the three to four hundred thousand troops will not be a problem for the time being. It has formed an alliance with the Huayang Sect of Tianshui County. At this time, Zheng is sending people into Qinchuan County to fight with Wenwen. If the Qing Sect has secret talks, the situation will not get worse, but for the inner court, time is not so relaxed.
Wusheng Pass is not a simple gate city, but is composed of more than ten gates built by the Yan Empire in the Great Rift Valley at the middle foot of Yanshan Mountain. The Xiyuan Army will not abandon all the dozens of gates for the sake of If Long Xiang's army and Su Wei's army can give up the fight, they will give up the three pass cities on the southernmost side of Wusheng Pass.
There are only tens of thousands of soldiers left in the three naturally dangerous cities of Wusheng Pass and Nanguan. It seems that they are not willing to completely give up the only way to enter the capital from Jiyang County.
Even though he felt it was a bit risky, everything was carried out according to Chen Hai's decision.
This also turned the Nine Feud Allied Forces led by Dong into a farce and a joke.
This silk letter represents that Chen Hai finally declared war on Wei Ziya, Zhao Zhong, Yu Zonghu and others in the name of Guininghou!
However, time is on Chen Hai's side.
Although these soldiers and horses are just newly recruited, and their combat effectiveness has not been tested by blood and fire, they are where the strength of small and medium-sized sects and the Han commoners of Yanzhou gathers. In the early stage, Chen Hai only hoped that they could defend Guining City and not give Yu Zonghu a chance. He led his troops to break into the territory west of Beijing; the Tiangang Thunder Prison Formation and other important imperial weapons were also handed over to the Guining Army for takeover.
Chen Hai appointed Huang Peiyi as the lieutenant general of the Guining Army, and appointed Yao Zhi and Yao Chuqiu as deputy generals. He established the General Administration Office of the Guining Army in Guining City, and appointed Ji Yuanren and Ge Tongtong to serve as Sima and Chang Shi of the General Administration Office of the Guining Army. , continue to expand the size of the Guining Army.
At this time, Le Yi and Han Jian had led 100,000 elite Longxiang troops to Qintong Pass via Tongbei Prefecture, and controlled the western area of Beijing south of Yutingling. The Guining Army, led by Huang Peiyi, relied on twenty With an average of 5,000 passengers per day, the Fengyan airship quickly filled the Qiuye River defense line with Guining City as the core, confronting the advance of the Tiger Roar Camp led by Yu Zonghu.
Chen Hai personally led the third town division of the Longxiang Army, expanded from the Yao Clan Guards, across the Qiuye River, into the northern region of Beijing, and headed for Wusheng Pass.
It is cold in the middle of winter, and dripping water turns into ice. Yanjing has entered the coldest season of the year.
Although King Wei was treated as a decoration by Tu Que and the others, Tu Que and the others gathered in front of the palace to discuss Tianji Academy's newly emerging rock-breaking chariots, super crossbows, and heavy flame arrows. King Wei couldn't help but listen. I understand, I thought that if the Suwei army couldn't win in the field, the Qianyuan Wuji Formation probably wouldn't be able to stop the Long Xiang army's front and defend Yanjing City, right
At this time, the news that the Nine Feud Allied Forces had been dispersed by the Longxiang Army without a bloody battle had also reached Wusheng Pass. Who would have thought that Chen Hai had actually built a fortress between the western foothills of the Qintong Mountains in the past three years. A road that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of elites to pass quickly
"At this time, the presence or absence of the emperor is no longer the key. Even if the inner court can allow people to pretend to be the emperor, we can naturally have 10,000 ways to prove that the emperor is fake. The Six Clans have a profound background, and they have also been attached to the British before. Wang Yingshu has been operating in Jiyang County for several years. After moving out of the Gyeonggi Plain, he can still maintain his foundation for the time being. But there are thousands of small and medium-sized clans and clans in the Gyeonggi Plain. How many choices do they have? Since the Six Clans After we began to move north, small sects continued to seek refuge from us, but this was limited to the two wings of Yuting Mountain. If we did not raise the banner at this time and decisively launched a war against the Suwei Army, Beijing North, Jingdong, and The small and medium-sized sects in southern Beijing are desperate and threatened by the soldiers of the Su Guards. There is no guarantee that they will not defect to the inner court... "
Although Zhao Zhong and Yu Haode were convinced that the Xiyuan Army was more willing to hand Wusheng Pass into their hands, the Longxiang Army moved faster and occupied Tiecheng Ridge, the only way to enter Wusheng Pass from the north. If they wanted to Leading his troops in a detour would inevitably expose his flanks to the front of Longxiang's army.
…
At this time, the King of Wei doubted whether it was the right choice for the six clans to withdraw from the capital. He thought that after the inner court forces that controlled the Su Wei Army were completely defeated by the Longxiang Army, would they have a chance to return to the capital
The Xiyuan Army has not yet completely withdrawn. Chen Hai led his troops to set up camp at the foot of Tiecheng Ridge, fifty miles south of Wusheng Pass. He waited for Wusheng Pass to become an empty city before sending troops in to seize the most important place in the north of the Gyeonggi Plain. The portal control is in your hands.
Only the impoverished descendants of the collateral clan and members of small and medium-sized clans could not afford to buy a special road guide, so they were still trapped in the city of Yanjing, unable to move.
At this time, the soldiers of Tianshui County also raised the banner of crusade against the rebels and the elimination of powerful vassals, and stood together with the Longxiang army. At the same time, Wu Cheng and Liao Yunya led their troops to approach Qintong Xiguan from both wings, trying to force Dong, the eldest son of the Dong family, to Chou abandoned Qin Tong Xiguan and led his troops back to Hexi.
No matter how large or small his troops were, Chen Hai selected the best and strongest among the disciples and people from the sects who had come over to join the Guining Army.
The disciples and guards of various clans who were previously trapped in Yanjing City, numbering in the tens of thousands, were now either overtly or covertly redeemed and fled Yanjing City. As a result, the Suwei Army secretly plundered a large number of people. resources to strengthen armaments.
After more than a month, millions of descendants and clansmen from the six clans in Jingjun, including Tu and Rong, finally evacuated the capital from Wusheng Pass. At the same time, millions of people who were frightened by the war left their homes and fled to avoid the war. .
Although Yao Chuyun was still the leader of the Yao family at this time, he also knew that in terms of decision-making and planning, he still failed Chen Hai too much. Before that, he had racked his brains and failed to figure out how Chen Hai could take advantage of three years of absence. When the time comes, a thousand-mile passage will be opened deep in Qintong Mountain
Chen Hai rushed to Yuting City and took the revolt written by him on behalf of Marquis Ning, asking the postmen to disseminate it to all counties as quickly as possible.
Yao Chuyun still had some doubts about this at the time, and went to Chen Hai to persuade him: "At present, the news of the death of the Emperor Tiandi has not come to Yanjing City for a long time. We are spreading the news to the world now, fearing that one day we will fall into passiveness."
Thinking of this, King Wei couldn't help but feel waning. Thinking that Tu Que and the others had to deal with everything, he wanted to go back to the dormitory to rest. But when King Wei got up to leave the hall, a guard took a scroll of dragon. The patterned silk book hurriedly walked in.
This means that most of the inner court's plan to use Hexi to suppress Long Xiang's army went bankrupt.
Zhao Zhong and Yu Haode had nothing to do, so they decided to launch an attack while the Longxiang Army was not yet firmly established in Tiecheng Ridge. They also believed that the Longxiang Army's third town division, which was hastily composed of Yao clan guards and 100,000 surrendered soldiers, was , the combat power is also quite limited, so it is not something to be afraid of...
Chen Hai re-established a new year name in the name of Guining Marquis. After the twelfth lunar month, it was the first year of Guining based on the new year name. At this time, the Guining army rapidly expanded to 200,000 troops.
The iron-scaled eagle hovering in the sky also presented every move in Wusheng Pass to Chen Hai's eyes.
Chen Hai explained to Yao Chuyun at that time:
Huang's surrender meant that Juquanling, Liquan and Tongbei Mansion were completely under the control of Longxiang's army. Chen Hai sent Guo Hongpan and Zhao Ruhui to stay in Tongbei Mansion to coordinate, while he led his troops from Tong at Liao Yunya. When the Zhongfu was advancing towards the Western Pass of Qintong, they took the imperial concubine Yang Qiaoer and Guininghou Yinglei, crossed the majestic mountains at the eastern foot of Qintong Mountain, and entered the capital again to preside over the final battle with the Su Wei Army.
