Chapter 292 Yanmen Xiongguan
"Monk, why do I feel something is wrong? I feel like I am being monitored and surrounded?" After getting back on the road, Yang Guang asked the monk who had finally woken up.
But the monk looked up at the morning sun and blinked indifferently, "Young Master, don't worry, it's a blessing, it's a disaster, it's a disaster. Yanmen has been more evil since ancient times. If nothing happens, it's abnormal!"
Yang Guang felt chills, "Go to tell me what your mother said? I mean, are we being followed?" As he said that, several people gathered around him immediately, and he repeated the question just now. The reason why he was the most powerful and shining light after more than 1,000 years of being a shadow bodyguard was not only capable, but also particularly sensitive to the perception of external dangers.
It is more accurate than the prediction of which day a woman will come to.
As a result, several people immediately reached an agreement that they were indeed followed. Luo Qi was the most certain of this matter. To put it bluntly, he is the King of Thieves, similar to the character of Sikong Zhaixing in Lu Xiaofeng. He is best at being undiscovered. So he had actually discovered that he had a tail long ago, but his eyes with Xiaolang and the horse-raising party. That meaning should be dealt with quietly in a while and not let the young master know.
The tracking started when they were about to approach Bingzhou City. It was not just one person, but two pairs of people. The game was quite big!
"Catch the living!" Yang Guang asked, grandma, who had two strings of tails as soon as he arrived in Bingzhou? Is Yuchi Jiong really so awesome that he began to monitor his every move from Bingzhou?
He asked the monk very sadly, "Is it really because of my young master, I am so handsome and cool? Even if I stay up late, I can't hide the dazzling light?"
The monk kept trying to vomit and kept holding it back, because after meeting Li Yuan three days ago, Yang Guang actually thought that even Yu Yi's 50-year-old princess wife would have to be fucked!
What is this for now?
Why didn't he know how to worry? But there was one thing he had to admire, that is, these things that were very nervous to others were not a problem for Yang Guang at all.
It’s just that they started to act a little late, or the two strings of tails next to them crawled into the ravines on both sides and slipped away before they decided to start!
They could not chase them, so they could only strengthen their defense and pay attention to observation. However, because the two groups of people suddenly appeared and disappeared, Xiaolang decided to send scouts. Luo Qi was the one who made the way to explore the way. He was good at disguising and hiding whereabouts. The one who was responsible for cutting off the rear and guards behind was Dugu Ying, because he could distance himself from the team. Once something happened, his speed was fast enough, and the news was always on the run.
Before they knew it, they had already stepped into Hengshan territory.
The towering Hengshan Mountain is winding along the northern border of Dai County. The inner Great Wall winding on the top of the mountain is like a jade belt connecting beads, connecting Yanmen Mountain, Mantou Mountain and Hayduo Mountain. It is adjacent to the Yanbei Plateau in the north and the Xinding Basin in the south.
The awesome Yanmen Ancient Pass was built on the steep Yanmen ridge.
Yanmen Mountain was called Gouzhu Mountain in ancient times. The peaks here are tall and the terrain is dangerous. After building Yanmen Pass, it has the momentum of "one man should be the pass, ten thousand man should not open". It "grows the vassal of the whole body outside, strengthens the key of Taiyuan inside, reaches the three passes, and the throat is full of Jin."
According to legend, every spring comes, geese in the south fly north, with reed leaves on their mouths, and fly to Yanmen for a long time until the leaves fall before they can pass. Therefore, there is a saying that "the geese fly out of the Yanmen Mountain."
The majestic pass Yanmen is the first of the "Nine Barriers in the World". Since King Wuling of Zhao during the Warring States Period, this place has been regarded as a strategic location throughout the ages. Zhao established Yanmen County, and since then, Yanmen is mostly used as a county, with a road and a county garrison. The name of Yanmen Pass is that due to the rise of the Turkic northern region, there have been frequent internal offensives. The court stationed troops in Yanmen Mountain, set up a Guancheng at the commanding height of Tiewomen, and guarded the garrisons.
The group rode the Western Regions horses and galloped among the mountains and ridges. Yang Guang became proud again. The snow in many places in the mountains had not melted yet. From a distance, it looked like a white tiger pattern.
"This was once a place where Li Mu worked hard in the Warring States Period. Although he had been running around for thousands of years, he was in the scene, haha."
When the few people heard this, they became interested. Although they all knew something about Yanmen, they didn’t know much. They were basically the first time the big girl got into the sedan chair, so the little wolf immediately asked the young master to tell a story!
Yang Guang slowed down a little, looked up and saw the towering mountains, vast and eternal, and said in a deep voice:
A long time ago, King Wuling of Zhao carried out military reforms, Hu flew and cavalry, defeated Lin Hu and Lou Fan invasion, and established Yunzhong, Yanmen and Dai County. Later, Li Mu was ordered to stay in Yanmen to guard against the Xiongnu. In order to avoid the Huns' harassment of the border people of Zhao, he was honest and dedicated to the public, "the market rent was lost to the shogunate and the soldiers were paid for", so he was deeply supported by the soldiers.
At the same time, he adhered to the policy of careful defense and strengthened his combat preparations based on the dangers of the Great Wall. He was in Yanmen for several years and "approved of shooting cavalry, caring for beacons, and many spies." He made the Huns have nothing to gain for several years, while the Zhao army was strong and strong, and was willing to fight for a battle. At this time, he chose elite soldiers and horses, cleverly set up strange formations, and lured the enemy into deep.
"The Huns defeated more than 100,000 cavalry." For more than ten years afterwards, the Huns did not dare to invade Zhao. Later generations called Li Mu a "wizard" and built the "Jingbian Temple" at Yanmen Pass to commemorate his military achievements in guarding the border and protecting the people.
After Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he sent general Meng Tian to lead 300,000 troops from Yanmen to "attack Hu in the north and seize all the lands in Henan", drove the Huns to the north of Yinshan, and built the Great Wall. Locals say that Meng Tian was buried in Dai County after his death. Now there is a Meng Tian tomb site in Shangmen Wang Village, and its broken monument still exists. You can still see clearly: "Tomb of General Qin Meng Tian" and "Jiaqing of Qing". According to historians' research, Meng Tian's tomb is in Shaanxi, and this place is just a legend.
Yanmen in the Han Dynasty was even more volatile. During the reign of Emperor Gaozu of Han, the Xiongnu passed the Gouzhu south and drove straight to Jinyang. For this reason, in 201 BC, Liu Bang personally led an army of more than 300,000 to Pingcheng to fight against the Xiongnu. Unfortunately, he was lured by the Xiongnu and trapped in Pingcheng Baideng Mountain for seven days. Finally, he bribed the Shanyu Yan family with a lot of money and property to be liberated.
After Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne, he faced the Huns' rampant southern invasion and set out to fight back. Famous Han generals Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Li Guang and others all galloped inside and outside the Yanmen ancient frontier, defeated the Huns many times and made great contributions.
When Li Guang was the prefect of Dai County, Yanmen and Yunzhong, he fought with the Xiongnu dozens of times and was called the "Flying General" by the Xiongnu. Once, he went out of Yanmen and was defeated and captured. In the net pocket between the two horses of the enemy, he pretended to be dead, but he was waiting for an opportunity in his heart.
Suddenly, he jumped up and pushed a Hu soldier off his horse. He immediately seized the horse and rode his horse for dozens of miles south. He captured the remaining troops, killed the pursuers and escaped safely. It was precisely because of the creation of powerful cavalry during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han to resist the southern invasion of the Huns that the advanced economy and culture of the Central Plains were able to protect the development of the advanced economy and culture in exchange for the later harmonious coexistence with the Huns.
During the reign of Emperor Yuan of Han, Wang Zhaojun, who was brave and knowledgeable, was surrounded by Yanmen Pass, and went out to the frontier to marry. From then on, a stable situation appeared in this area where "the city of detachment is closed, the cows and horses are spreading in the wild, the police who barked no dogs in three lifetimes, and the common people have no battles in war."
Yang Guang knew this matter in Yanmen as much as possible, and the rest were already solemn, and even the monk couldn't help but squeak, "If you don't go out, you know that the world is not the monk, but the young master, you are impressed, admire me!"
