You Yijun was lucky before.

Zhou Zhi personally led a small number of elite troops to attack Jindu Pass at night. After leaving Dayun, he took down Jindu Pass in one breath and directly attacked Tongguan.

But I couldn't take Tongguan in this way.

But Zhou Zhi is still capable.

Before retreating, he was careful and ordered the army to destroy Jindu Pass hard, and then used the last bit of gunpowder to blow up the foundation of the Jindu Pass wall.

He thought that he would definitely fight back in the future. Now he destroyed Jindou Pass and when he fought back in the future, he would not have to face the two passes again, but could directly attack Tongguan Pass City with one go.

After that, he did not relax his vigilance and sent small groups of troops to attack the Jindu Pass area, constantly destroying the Jin army's operations that tried to rebuild the Jindu Pass, so that the Jin army spent more than half a year unable to rebuild the Jindu Pass defense line.

Now that the army is approaching, the Jindu Pass defense line has not been successfully established, so Zhou Zhi ordered the ejecting troops to shoot a large number of thunderstorms to attack the defense line established by the Jin army in a hurry, blowing the defense line up to pieces.

The Jin army, who was responsible for defense, relied on simple defensive facilities, could not withstand the bombing of the Restoration Army, and could only retreat to the solid Guancheng for defense.

So Zhou Zhi easily seized the Jindou Pass area.

However, this is just the first step to attack Tongguan. Zhou Zhi had easily won Jindou Pass before, but he suffered a tragic failure under Tongguan Pass City, and he was bleeding from his head.

So this time Zhou Zhi also learned his lesson, fully leveraging the advantages of the Restoration Army in terms of military strength and long-range attack weapons, and was ready to use the increasingly powerful thunder to launch a fierce attack on the Jin army in Tongguan Pass.

No matter what, blow it first, if it doesn’t rain, if it doesn’t rain, if it’s replaced it with stones and then smash it. In short, give him a ten-day or a half month first, so don’t worry.

Zhou Zhi planned to use this method to slowly guide Tongguan, thinking that this would eventually lead to conquering Tongguan.

However, Zhou Zhixue, the secretary of You Yijun, felt that this was very inefficient and wasted too much war resources, which was not conducive to the long-term maintenance of the army.

"The city walls of Tongguan are tall, wide and deep, and it is not possible that the thunder of the sky can be knocked down in one go. In the end, the army still needs to climb the city to attack. I think this is not a top strategy."

Zhou Zhixue expressed his views to Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhixue, who had always respected, strictly abide by the law, cared about military soldiers, could only sigh helplessly when he saw him say this.

"I know this is not good, but after thinking about it, there is no other way. It is normal for Tongguan to be so easy to defend but difficult to attack. If it weren't for it so easy to defend but difficult to attack, why did the ancients set up a pass here?"

"But Tongguan has not been broken, and we can find a way."

Zhou Zhixue said, "Before, I had searched for merchants from Luoyang to Luoyang and Chang'an in Luoyang and asked them about the way to enter Guanzhong through Tongguan. Most merchants said they could only go through Tongguan and there was no other way, but one merchant told me that he had heard that there was another way to go."

“What road?”

Zhou Zhi hurriedly asked.

Zhou Zhixue said, "He also heard from the locals a few years ago that during the Tang Dynasty, there was a road that used to go to Guanzhong through Tongguan. At that time, Tongguan was not the same as Tongguan now. That road was called Jingou by the locals."

"I know the change of Tongguan address... But where is the forbidden ditch? Why have I never heard of it?"

Zhou Zhi looked puzzled.

"Actually, I haven't heard of it, but the previous Tang Dynasty has been three hundred years ago. There may be many things that I haven't heard of. Although I'm not sure, I'm willing to lead my troops to investigate and see if there is such a way. If so, it's much better than our strong attack on the city here. What do you think?"

"You are the clerk of the first army, so it is better to leave this threat to a professional sentry detective."

Zhou Zhi didn't want to agree.

Zhou Zhixue shook his head.

"The clerk is not a top-notch person who is pampered and has good health. I have also received military training. I am not a useless person who has no power to tie a chicken. In wartime, there were only soldiers and no clerk."

"This...well, you can bring a few more people and pay attention to safety. Here are high mountains and dangerous roads, so don't be reckless."

Zhou Zhi could not persuade Zhou Zhixue, so he had to appoint Zhou Zhixue to lead someone to investigate the matter about the ban on the ditch, and at the same time he divided his personal guards and handed them over to Zhou Zhixue to protect his safety.

Tu Shan Hexi also made a lot of preparations to prevent the Liberation Army from attacking Tongguan. For example, he moved all the population in Tongguan area westward and turned this area into a completely unmanned land. So the Liberation Army could not find the guide if it wanted to find a guide, so he could only rely on his own exploration and advancement.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhixue did a lot of homework to capture Tongguan before, and asked many stories about Tongguan from merchants, but he was not ignorant of Tongguan.

"Do you know? Tongguan was not the current Tongguan in the past. I heard that hundreds of years ago, Tongguan was on the top of this plateau. After passing Huangxiangban, it was not directly to the tidal flats, but to climb the top of the plateau with rolling wood and rocks, and then you can see Tongguanguan City on the top of the plateau."

On the way to climb the top of the Nanyuan Plateau, Zhou Zhixue climbed with the help of his personal guards, but he did not forget to give them some lessons.

"So as such, wasn't Tongguan in the past more dangerous than Tongguan now?"

Chen Liao, the captain of Zhou Zhixue's personal guard, asked.

Zhou Zhixue nodded.

"So that's what it means."

"Then why did Tongguan become like this?"

"Because of the Yellow River, the Yellow River waterway flows through here and keeps cutting down, and the water level continues to drop, revealing the part that was originally flooded. I heard that this southern plateau was close to the Yellow River waterway hundreds of years ago, and the road next to the southern plateau did not exist.

At that time, of course, it would be more appropriate to set up Tongguan on the top of the plateau, but later this part of the shallows was exposed, and the more they were exposed, and over the years, they could leave, many people could leave, and even pass the army. Isn’t it meaningless to continue to set up Tongguan here?"

The guards understood the reason why Tongguan changed its location.

"Then what's the way we're looking for?"

"It is the path that people had to take to enter Guanzhong through Tongguan. I heard that people from that time took this road to Tongguan, then passed Tongguan, and then passed a ditch and passed the so-called twelve consecutive passes before they could really enter Guanzhong."

After Zhou Zhixue said this, the guards took a breath of air conditioning.

"Oh my God, how difficult it is? We can't get Tongguan alone. If this becomes the same as before, how can we fight this battle?"

Chen Liao looked at Zhou Zhixue.

Zhou Zhixue took a few breaths and laughed for a while.

"Then I have to ask Cao Mengde. I know a story about Cao Mengde conquering the old Tongguan, but he was not attacking head-on. He took a detour to the Yellow River Ferry and attacked the rear of Tongguan, and then defeated Ma Chao who was guarding Tongguan."

Chen Liao said quickly.

"Then we can cross the Yellow River too!"

"Well, aren't we forcibly crossing the Yellow River? The Qilu Corps is doing this, but now, there is also a pass at the ferry that Cao Cao used back then, called Daqing Pass."

Chen Liao shut up immediately.

Good guy, the loopholes in their relationship back then have been blocked, and they have no shortcuts to go...

But thinking about it, the Yellow River flows heavily, the river channel is wide and deep, and there are countless undercurrents surging, which can easily lead to ships and people. Finally, there is a useful channel, which must have been used all the time. How come the road that everyone knows is not guarding?

But after saying this...

"Secretary, in this way, isn't the path we are looking for now the same path we have taken before?"

"yes."

"Will there be a precaution?"

"have no idea."

Zhou Zhixue shook his head: "Then I really don't know."

"But Daqing Pass is not..."

"There are not many ferries on the Yellow River. The waterway has been used to this day and has not been abandoned. However, the former Tongguan road has been abandoned since the Tang Dynasty and no one has used it. There are few people who know this news, which is different from the Yellow River ferry.

And I heard that the reason why this place is called Bangou is because this road was banned by the court a long time ago and people were not allowed to leave, so fewer people knew about it. I also found out about the legend that I learned from a merchant for a long time, but I still don’t know whether it is true or false.”

Chen Liao understood what Zhou Zhixue meant, so he stopped asking, focused on protecting and helped Zhou Zhixue walk through the rugged road.

ps:648+328, double the first charge, Thunder God Pond was not crooked, and it was in the soul, but the weapon Pond was numb for me, and the track was set, and the track was set twice in a row without any work. Finally, my face was connected to the large guaranteed track, and I almost smashed my phone. I originally wanted to use the remaining stones to buy the Jixing store, but now all the wood is big, and the rice can be fooled.
