Li Xin’s goal has never been a small Fu County.

Such a big place cannot accommodate too many people. The place where Li Xin really focuses on is Mianzhu, not far from Fucheng. Mianzhu is the real acropolis of Jincheng. As long as he takes Mianzhu, it is equivalent to pinching Pingnanjun's neck. No matter how hard Li Shen struggles, he will not be able to jump for too long.

However, Mianzhu conservatively estimates that there are tens of thousands of defenders, and it is almost impossible to easily take them down, so Li Xin could only settle for the second best and temporarily occupied Fucheng near Mianzhu.

Now, Li Xin has to wait and see in Fucheng for ten days and half a month before deciding how to proceed with the next move.

If Li Shen really brought troops to attack Fucheng, he would teach the general of the Zhu Kingdom a good lesson. If Li Shen did not come, then Li Xin would start planning to attack Mianzhu.

However, Li Xin didn't wait, and wrote a letter to Mu Ying, who was far away in Hanzhou.

Conservatively, there are 10,000 people guarding Mianzhu. With so many people, with Li Xin's troops, it is basically unlikely that they will be taken down head-on. It is not that they do not have the ability to fight, but because they do not have the ability to fight before the Pingnan Army supports Mianzhu.

Mianzhu is a big city. No matter how Li Xin ignores his subordinates' lives, it is absolutely impossible to fight like Fucheng in three days.

So Li Xin wanted to use those people under Mu Ying's hands.

You know, Hanzhou Prefecture is on the other side of Mianzhu!

After writing the letter to Mu Ying, Li Xin asked Zhao Jia to copy it into five copies and distribute it to the five most capable people in the army to deliver the letter to Hanzhou City.

The reason for sending this way is because this is during wartime, and the delivery route must pass through the "enemy-occupied area", so you have to be careful.

In this way, as long as any of the five people is discovered, they will destroy the letter in their hands without hesitation. While ensuring safety, they will also ensure that the letter will be delivered to Mu Ying.

After writing the letter to Mu Ying, Li Xin picked up another pen and wanted to write a letter to Ye Shaobao, but after hesitating for a while, he put down the pen in his hand.

If nothing unexpected happens, Ye Ming should have known the news that Fucheng was taken down by himself at this time, and writing a letter is meaningless. If Ye Ming had not reacted at this time, the two people would have no tacit understanding, and it would be even more meaningless to write another letter.

Marquis Jing'an threw the pen aside and closed the letter paper in front of him.

"At this time, Senior Brother Ye wants to help me relieve the stress..."

The pressure Li Xin mentioned comes from the pressure from Jiange.

If only Li Shen came to attack Fucheng, even if Li Xin could not hold on, he could still hold on for a long time. However, if the troops from Jiange were divided, then Li Xin should not be able to hold on for too long.

So at this time, someone in Jiange must help Li Xin hold him back.

…………

Jiange.

This place is like a mountain ridge being split by a giant god holding a sword, leaving a long sword mark. The only road to this mountain ridge is the only road.

Jianmen Pass is on this "sword mark".

Because of this unique terrain, Jianmen Pass has always been a saying that one man can be a pass without opening. Throughout history, there are only a handful of generals who have captured Jianmen Pass head-on.

Only Li Zhijie, the Marquis of Pingnan of this dynasty, led his men to open Jianmen Pass.

At this time, another general charged at Jianmen Pass.

The first wave of five or six thousand people was divided into several formations, and began to attack Jianmen Pass one round after another!

General Ye Ming personally supervised the battle and issued a death order. Those who took a step back immediately were killed!

Under such almost harsh supervision, the elite imperial guards began a tide-like impact on Jianmen Pass. During this period, they were all stationed outside Jianmen Pass, but Ye Ming made a fool of himself and ordered the craftsmen in the army to make siege equipment at night. Although the progress of doing this was slow, over time, Ye Ming's troops also made a lot of siege equipment such as catapults.

In the first three days, the siege was very fierce. From time to time, stones hit the city tower of Jianmen Pass. Ye Shaobao, who had always been calm, was like a crazy tiger, and rushed towards the defense line of Jianmen Pass wildly.

Three days after the blood flowed from Jianmen Pass.

Nearly 10,000 casualties were killed and killed by Ye Ming's troops, and the defenders at Jianmen Pass were not easy, and more than 3,000 lives were taken away by the imperial guards' offensive.

Both sides were red in their eyes.

Just as the Imperial Guard was about to continue rushing to Jianmen Pass, Ye Shaobao waved his hand and ordered all the Imperial Guards to withdraw and return to the garrison to rest.

No one understands this command very much.

Logically speaking, after three days of siege, the city-guarding tools at Jianmen Pass, including gold juice, tincture oil, rolling stones, etc., are severely short of things. At this time, no matter how many people die, they will continue to charge, and there will be some chance of winning Jianmen Pass.

But if the troops are withdrawn at this time and enough breathing time is given to Jianmen Pass, then all the people who died in the imperial guards in the past three days will be in vain!

These generals of the Imperial Guards looked a little dissatisfied, but Ye Ming and Ye Shaobao had no general order to dare to rebel against him. Although they were angry, the Imperial Guards still withdrew from the camp and began to rest according to the order.

This time, the imperial guards suffered heavy casualties.

Facing the corpses all over the ground, Ye Shaobao was much colder than Li Xin. He didn't even look at the corpses more, but just calmly ordered his subordinates to count their names and bury the corpses.

True is not in charge of the army.

A kind of compassionate personality like Li Xin is destined to be a famous general. As long as a real famous general can achieve his strategic goal, no matter how many people die, they can turn a blind eye to it.

In other words, they are used to separation from life and death, so they are all as cold as Ye Ming.

At night, all Ye Ming's troops returned to the camp.

While the commander was discussing the matter, the commander of the Imperial Army, Zhe Chong, finally couldn't bear it, and stood up and hugged Ye Ming and fisted.

"General, I will never understand what happened today!"

The Zhechong Commander looked like a rough man and didn't have much intent. He said directly: "This afternoon, the defenders of Jianmen Pass were obviously tired. We have a good chance to break the pass in one go. At this pass, the general ordered his return, and the last general would not understand it no matter what!"

Ye Ming sat in the main seat without even raising his eyelids.

"Then according to your opinion, how long will it take for us to chew this Jianmen Pass that is slightly tired in your mouth?"

The Captain Zhe Chong gritted his teeth.

"Who can know if you don't fight?"

Ye Ming sneered: "This Jianmen Pass was chewed for more than 100,000 troops of Pingnan Army back then, and it took a full eight years to chew down!"

"The people who guard this pass are now stronger than Nanshu in the past. Where did you get the confidence that you can get the Jianmen Pass in three days?"

"If you continue to fight, you will only kill more people!"

The Zhe Chong Commander was still dissatisfied and lowered his head and said, "Since the general knows that he can't defeat Jianmen Pass, why did he command his brothers to rush Jianmen Pass before?"

"I won't beat you halfway. Didn't my brothers who were killed or injured before die in vain?"

He gritted his teeth and lowered his head and said, "Although my imperial guard is not the Zhenbei Army led by the general, it is a life of man no matter what?!"

This is accusing Ye Ming of not taking the lives of the Imperial Army seriously.

Ye Shaobao glanced at the man and finally said expressionlessly.

"We can ensure that the defenders of Jiange will not dare to leave Jiange half a step."

The reason why Ye Ming rushed to Jianmen Pass like a madman was to echo Li Xin from afar and ensure that Li Xin would not be attacked by both ends. For this purpose, he did not mind how many people the imperial guards killed this time.

Speaking of this, Ye Ming shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, you probably don't understand what you said to you. You can pack up your things now and go back to the capital."

The Captain Zhe Chong looked at Ye Ming in surprise.

"If you are from Zhenbei Army and you will run into Shangguan like this, you will be in a different place at this time."

Ye Shaobao's tone was calm.

"For Chang'an's sake, I won't kill you."
