Sichuan.
In Guangyuan City, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help being short-tempered when facing the Yangping Pass where one man guards the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it. He was even forced to call his adopted son-in-law to make the worst confession.
He once again established Zhang Kewang's status as the heir, and even confessed that if he was defeated and died, he would let them lead the army back to the Ming Dynasty.
The four righteous sons knelt down and wept, thinking that they should not be discouraged, but Zhang Xianzhong was indeed in despair.
Zhang Dingguo asked to divide his troops to find a way out and fight a bloody way.
Although Zhang Xianzhong agreed, he also asked Wang Zhaolin, the son-in-law of the prime minister, to send envoys to visit Wen Anzhi on Phoenix Mountain in Shunqing, to plead guilty to the Ming army, and at the same time ask for help.Although he believed that the Ming army would sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight at this time, and might even make trouble at any time, but under the current situation, there is no other way but to be a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
After receiving the military order, Zhang Dingguo led an army to the northwest and marched along the Bailong River, intending to detour through Jiezhou, open up to Tianshui in Qinzhou, or detour around Chengxian County, the upper reaches of the Jialing River, and go through Zoumaling Road to Yangping Pass. A larger circle, from Lueyang via Wuxing Road to Yangping Pass.
But this road is extremely difficult, because no matter how he goes, he has to pass the [-]-li Yinping trail first.
The Jinniu Road where Yangping Pass is located is already very difficult and dangerous. Most of the roads are built by drilling holes in the cliffs and inserting wood to build plank roads, but the Yinping plank road is even more dangerous and difficult.
The plank road is steeper, more winding and narrower.
From Guangyuan to the northwest for more than [-] miles, there is still Yulei Pass that prevents Yangping Pass from being blocked. A wooden beam bridge with outrigger arms is built on the Bailong River in front of Yulei Pass. It has always been a place for military strategists to guard against danger, and it is also a place for military strategists to fight for.
Zhang Dingguo led the troops through the plank roads in the valley, and walked more than 200 miles hard all the way to the Yinping Bridge.
At the intersection of Bailong River and Baishui River, on the right side of Bailong River, Yinping Bridge stands between the two cliffs.
Li Dingguo couldn't help being amazed when he looked at the terrain.
"Your Highness, this is the Yinping Ancient Bridge, and the opposite side of the bridge is Yulei Pass."
A Qiang guide reported to Li Dingguo.
Li Dingguo looked at the Xiongguan Ancient Bridge and fell into a dilemma.
This dangerous place is no weaker than Yangping Pass, and it is too difficult to take it by force.
An aide also said with emotion, "During the Three Kingdoms period, Guo Huai, the general of Wei, led an army to build a city under the bridge to attack Liao Hua, the general of Shu. However, the locals have always called it the city wall dam, and there are still many ruins to be seen.”
"Later, when Deng Ai conquered Shu, he defeated Jiang Wei at the Yulei Pass Bridge in Yinping, which is here. Jiang Wei abandoned the pass and surrendered the Jiange. After all, he was unable to return to heaven, and the Kingdom of Shu perished."
"Open the sky and lock the throat, control the [-] states in the southwest, the imperial bandits have a lot of mud, and the heavy doors are often closed without police analysis!"
Zhang Dingguo's headache grew worse.
Jiang Wei took the initiative to abandon Yulei Pass and retreat to defend Jiange. At that time, Deng Ai came from the direction of Wudu, but now it is the opposite, he is going from Guangyuan to Wudu.
"Liu Jinzhong has already confirmed that he is a voter. Now that he is guarding this pass, he will definitely not let me pass."
Liu Jinzhong is one of the few generals of the Western Army that Zhang Dingguo admires. Most of his Xiaoqi Battalion are from northern Sichuan.
In contrast, Zhang Dingguo, the adoptive son of the Western Emperor, was still relatively young at this time. He was a younger generation of generals who had only emerged in recent years. It was not rich enough, so Zhang Nengqi, Zhang Dingguo and others had previously attacked Make in northern Sichuan and He Zhen in Hanzhong, and they all lost consecutive battles.
Facing Liu Jinzhong, the governor of the Xiaoqi Battalion, especially Liu Jinzhong who had already surrendered, Zhang Dingguo had no confidence.
But Yulei Pass and Yinping Bridge are on the way.
"Get ready to fight!" Zhang Dingguo ordered helplessly.
·······
In the city of Yulei Pass.
At this time, the main generals of the Shaanxi-Gansu camp of the imperial camp of the Ming Dynasty also arrived here early, and the various ministries that had barely completed the reorganization of the camp also urgently transferred five thousand.
"Zhang Dingguo is the righteous son of Zhang Xianzhong. Although he is only 26 years old this year, he has won his trust, and he is brave and brave. Has joined Zhang Xianzhong's army, and was adopted as a foster son because of his bravery. When he was 17 years old, he had already started to lead 2 horses to fight with Zhang Xianzhong in Huguang, Henan. Falsely entered Xiangyang overnight, took Xiangyang City for Zhang Xianzhong in one fell swoop, and was given the nickname Xiao Yuchi!"
Deputy Admiral Liu Jinzhong talked about this little Yuchi to his adopted brother Zhang Dapeng.
As soon as Zhang Dingguo left Guangyuan, he had already received a secret report on his camp here, so he quickly dispatched troops to strengthen the defense of Yulei Pass.
"Thief!"
Wen Xieji, the director of the camp, snorted coldly, and said disdainfully, it is even more unforgivable to become a thief at the age of ten.None of the thieves is trustworthy, they jump around repeatedly, and the defection is uncertain.
"Soldiers come to block, water comes to flood the earth, no matter how arrogant Zhang Dingguo is, he is only a small thief. As long as we guard Yinping Bridge and Yulei Pass, Zhang Guoding can still fly over with his wings?"
"No matter how fierce he is, if we can't hold it, we can cut down the bridge directly, or burn a section of the Yinping plank road, and we can stop him."
Liu Jinzhong also voted in Xiying, so he was a little uncomfortable with Wen Xieji's attitude. "The seven hundred li plank road in Yinping is extremely dangerous. If it burns down, it will also cut off our way back to Sichuan. It will be very difficult to repair it."
As the admiral, Zhang Dapeng has been looking at the map.
In the reorganization of the camp during this period of time, his identity has always been a bit subtle, not to mention that Liu Jinzhong used to be a general of the Western Army, nor that the three brothers Wen Xieji were the sons of Jinglue Wen Anzhi, or Tang Zhenbang who came along. That is also the famous chieftain in Huguang.
As for the rebel generals who finally returned from the local and Shaanxi-Gansu uprisings, many of them were originally court officials, or they were also powerful. State-controlled counties.
In contrast, Zhang Dapeng, the admiral, was just a poor man doing part-time work more than a year ago, and even after he entered Sichuan, he was just a newly awarded battalion officer.
But in the end it was he who took the position of admiral.
For a battalion that was almost completely newly built, his status has always been questioned.
Fortunately, Zhang Dapeng also withstood the pressure. At this time, he didn't think much about other things. He only thought about how to complete the task of Wenjinglue and live up to His Majesty the Emperor.
Under the pressure, they reorganized all kinds of troops, established military regulations, marching laws, and even took the newly built battalions to fight several battles. They had to deal with those surrendering landlords who turned to the Qing court when they saw the wind, and they had to Deal with the rebels and bandits who took the opportunity to loot.
After several battles, Zhang Shipeng would make detailed arrangements before the battle each time, and lead the death battalion to charge forward during the battle, and after the battle, he would be rewarded for meritorious deeds and punished for demerit, which was very fair and strict.
Coupled with the support of Liu Jinzhong, Tang Zhenbang, and Wen Xieji, generals such as He Hongqi, Li Mingyi, Jiang Denglei, Wang Yuan, Ma De, Guo Junzhen, and Liu Wenbing were also convinced.
And Zhang Dapeng treats He Hongqi and other former camp generals equally, whether he treats the former court generals, or the powerful landlords. Even if they refuse to accept him, he treats them very politely. Taking the lead and being very fair, coupled with the support of Liu Jinzhong, Tang Zhenbang and others, he gradually gained a firm foothold.
However, the previous battles were all small scenes.
This time, facing Zhang Dingguo who came with 2 horses, this is the key battle.
All the generals have their own opinions.
Governor Ma Xieji is determined to have soldiers come to fight tit for tat, and even proposed that if they can't win the battle, they can't let the thieves come over.
Liu Jinzhong thought that the bridge and plank road had to be kept, and even thought it could be negotiated.
As for the generals of He Hongqi, they were not willing to fight head-on with Zhang Dingguo, and felt that it would be better to retreat to Tielu Village in Wen County and Linjiang Pass behind.
Don't fight them, fight them!
"Everyone!"
Zhang Dapeng tapped the table a few times.
"Zhang Dingguo came here with an army of [-]. According to the current information, he wants to use this way to attack the Tartars."
"It's hard to say." Wen Xieji said.
Zhang Dapeng got up, "When I was serving as an escort by His Majesty, I often heard His Majesty say that we must distinguish who is the enemy and who is the friend, who is the main conflict and who is the secondary conflict, and we cannot reverse the primary and secondary."
"Your Majesty has said more than once that the main enemy of the Ming Dynasty today is the Jianlu Tartar family."
"Whether it's the original Shunying, Xiying, or other green forests and grasslands, as long as they are willing to put aside the past and fight the Tartars together, they are all brothers and should unite as one."
"I, Zhang Dapeng, was just a part-time worker before. I have never studied, and I don't understand any major principles, but I will never doubt the words of Long Live in my life.
Long live is God bestowed on us Daming, the sage bestowed on our Han family.
Everything His Majesty said is absolutely true! "
Wen Xieji reminded Zhang Dapeng, "I also fully support the saints, but Xian Zei and Xiying are not trustworthy. They are rebellious and rebellious."
"Wenjian, I thought that Shunying invaded Beijing and even killed Emperor Lie to death, but how did His Majesty deal with the rest of Shunying? He personally made an order to appease the rest of the troops, bestowed nobles and officials, and established Zhongzhen Town. Courage?
Isn't it also because of His Majesty's benevolence that Shunying is now fighting for Daming?
It is true that Zhang Xianzhong has no credibility, surrendered and rebelled again, but now is not the time to worry about these things. "
He stood in the hall, looked at the generals, and said in a loud voice, "I, Zhang Dapeng, will admit to death. As long as it is fighting the Tartars, I, Zhang Dapeng, and the Shaanxi-Gansu Camp will definitely help!"
"Send someone to meet Zhang Dingguo on the opposite side. He wants to fight the Tartars. I, Zhang Dapeng, let him get out of the Yinping Bridge and draw a path so that he can go around the Yangping Pass behind the Tartars and traitors. Not only that, but I also need to help them get some arrows." Arrow food."
"Tell Zhang Dingguo that we are all descendants of the Yellow Emperor and the Han people. When foreign races invade, the Tartars will force us to shave our hair and make clothes easier, and want to subjugate the country and exterminate our species. Let's stop fighting each other. Let's put aside other things for now and deal with the Tartars first." !"
