Chapter 2060 Wuchuan Town (Part 1)


Chapter 2060 Wuchuan Town (Part 1)

The army came out from the Baidao to the north and crossed the entire Yinshan Mountains. Suddenly, the sky and the earth were vast.

Heavy snow like goose feathers was falling from the eastern sky. The north wind was not strong, and a snowy field came into view.

When the Youtun Guard army left the capital, they all had one person and two horses. In the battle of Baidaokou, Xue Yantuo's entire army was wiped out. Countless horses and baggage were confiscated. The number of war horses was greatly supplemented. Fang Jun led 10,000 elites as the vanguard, with one person and three people. Horses, Sturm und Drang.

Gao Kan led the rear army's baggage and followed closely behind.

The sky and the earth are vast, clouds appear in an instant, and snowflakes are as big as mats.

The horses around him were galloping through the snow, and the sound of their hooves was drowned in the snow, leaving only a dull rumble.

Fang Jun galloped on his horse, and snowflakes hit his face. Instead of feeling cold, he felt blood rushing in his chest, his whole body was hot, and his ambition was soaring to the sky!

When you were born in the peaceful years of later generations, how could you ever have such great ambitions and high spirits?

As long as he resists barbarians and thunders sweep holes, he will always wrap his body in horse leather and bury his bones in the northern border, so what?

The ambition is to eat the meat of Huns when they are hungry, and to drink the blood of Huns when they are thirsty for laughter!

Send the army northward and attack Dragon City.

Men should be like this!

The snowflakes are getting bigger and bigger, and the cold wind is getting biter.

Through the wind and snow, a fortified city stands faintly in the wilderness in front of you. Its figure is majestic and stands tall in the sky. Over there is Wuchuan Town!

The first fortified city in Northern Xinjiang, which is blocking the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain, only needs to be captured. In the vast and vast moraine of Northern Xinjiang, there will be no other city that can stop the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. They will gallop all the way north and attack Yu Dujun Mountain. .

This fortified city built by the Xianbei people was once one of the six towns in the Northern Wei Dynasty, helping the Northern Wei Dynasty resist the invasion of the northern Turks. However, after the decline of the Northern Wei Dynasty, all the Xianbei people withdrew to the south of the Yin Mountains, relying on the Chile River. Relying on the natural moat of Yinshan Mountain, they could barely resist the Turks' southward invasion.

Wuchuan and other six towns all fell under the control of the Turks.

The forces of the six towns at that time gradually evolved into the Guanlong aristocratic group, and Wuchuan Town, as a key pass guarding the Yinshan Pass, was successively regarded by the Turks and Xueyantuo people as a key point blocking the Tang army's northward march.

In their eyes, Wuchuan Town is the strongest city in Mobei, as solid as a rock and as solid as gold!

Even when Da Dushu led his army across the Baidao and headed south to the Chile River, there were still 20,000 Xue Yantuo soldiers who had been trained by the Han people and were good at defending the city. No matter what the situation, they would stick to the city, tightly control the mountain pass, and not use it. Datang has any chance to make a fool of himself!

However, this city, which the Tiele people regarded as "never likely to fall", was no different from a pig shed and a chicken coop in Fang Jun's eyes.

"Keep moving forward without stopping. After arriving at Wuchuan Town, we will attack the city immediately without resting. Within an hour, we will break into the city!"

On top of the war horse, Fang Jun issued an order.

The wind and snow gradually roared, covering up the dull sound of horse hooves, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish, and orders were conveyed down layer by layer.

All the soldiers cheered up and braced themselves, waiting for the upcoming first battle that no Tang army had ever set foot on the northern frontier since Wei Gong Li Jing raided the Yinshan Mountains!

As long as we win this battle and capture Wuchuan Town, it will be an incredible military achievement!

In Fang Jun's opinion, there has never been a city that cannot be conquered in this world.

An hour?

That would have to be the first attack on the city since Youtun Guard formed an army, so there must be room for error...

In Feng Shui, there is a term called "where the king's energy gathers" or "where the dragon's veins are located", which means that the Ksitigarbha's wind and energy are extremely "prosperous", and the land has outstanding people. The talents they produce are the pillars of the country, even emperors and generals. Mutually.

Wuchuan Town is such a place where "the king's energy gathers".

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, in order to protect Pingcheng, the capital, a series of military towns were established along the Great Wall, six of which were the most important, namely: Wuchuan Town, Woye Town, Huaishuo Town, Fuming Town, and Rouhuang Town, collectively referred to as the Northern Six Towns. The town was later called the "Six Towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty" or the "Six Towns of Xianbei".

These six towns were important military towns in the Northern Wei Dynasty to resist the invasion of northern ethnic groups. Most of the generals guarding them were noble relatives of the Tuoba family and virtuous ministers of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In the 17th year of Taihe, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital from Pingcheng to Luoyang.

The political center moved southward, causing the status of the six northern towns to decline rapidly. At the same time, the Northern Wei Dynasty's control over the six towns rapidly weakened. After the central government's control over the six towns in the north weakened, the military generals in the six towns began to make moves. They formed cliques, formed alliances with each other, competed with each other for power, and formed warlords of their own.

In this case, war is about to break out.

In the fifth year of Emperor Guangzheng's reign in the Northern Wei Dynasty, an uprising first broke out in Woye Town. The war quickly spread, and the six northern towns soon fell into the chaos of warlord separatism.

War brings disaster to the people, but it also has an advantage, that is, the survival of the fittest! During this war, Yuwentai of Wuchuan Town and Gao Huan of Huairou Town gradually emerged and became the two most powerful separatist forces, quickly dominating the political situation of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Both Gao Huan and Yu Wentai are heroes in the world, attacking each other, but neither can do anything to the other.

In the third year of Yongxi reign of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowu secretly fled to Guanzhong to attach himself to Yuwentai. Gao Huan established Yuan Shanjian as emperor, which was the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

The next year, Yuwentai poisoned Emperor Xiaowu and established Yuan Baoju as emperor, which was the Western Wei Dynasty.

The tyrannical Northern Wei Dynasty was thus divided into two separate regimes, the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty by Gao Huan and Yuwentai...

There was a general named Yang Zhong under Yuwentai. He was tall, brave in battle, far-sighted, and very strategic. He made great achievements in the war with the Eastern Wei Dynasty. He was deeply appreciated by Yuwentai and gradually became the most important general under Yuwentai. The general was later named "Sui Duke" - "Sui", does it sound familiar?

Yes, this person is Yang Jian's father.

Yu Wentai was a far-sighted politician and military strategist.

It can be said that the Sui Dynasty was able to unify the country entirely because of him.

Yuwentai established a new military system in the Western Wei Dynasty, the Fu military system...

That's right, the founder of the Tang Dynasty's invincible army system was Yu Wentai.

At the top of the military system, there were eight generals of the Zhuguo State, known as the "Eight Pillar States". At that time, the eight Zhuguo generals were: Yu Wentai, Yuan Xin, Li Hu, Li Bi, Dugu Xin, Zhao Gui, and Yu Jin , Hou Mo Chen Chong.

Li Hu is Li Yuan's grandfather, and one of Dugu Xin's daughters married Yang Jian... After Yuwentai's death, the Yuwen family replaced the Tuoba family of the Western Wei Dynasty and established the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After the death of Gao Huan in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, his son Gao Yang usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, establishing the Northern Qi Dynasty, which was later destroyed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In the end, Yang Jian replaced Yu Wenyan, usurped the Zhou Dynasty and established the Sui Dynasty to unify the world.

The world is changing, capable people and strangers emerge in endlessly, and these heroes who come out of Wuchuan Town are stronger than each other. Yu Wentai created the military system to lay a solid foundation for hegemony in the world. Yang Jian usurped the Zhou Dynasty and established the Sui Dynasty to unify the country. Then Li Yuan and Li Shimin This father and son established the Tang Dynasty and ushered in the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty.

Wuchuan Town is the place where the Guanlong aristocracy arose and the roots of the Sui and Tang dynasties. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the place where the king's aura gathers.

*****

Wuchuan Town.

On the high city wall, the guard Qi Bike pressed his sword on his waist and stared into the distance.

Snowflakes are like a mat, the north wind is howling, and only a sparse outline of the towering Yinshan Mountain in the distance is left,

The vast wilderness of wind and snow was filled with a strange sense of tranquility. The tranquility contained in this extreme hustle and bustle made Qibi Kele feel uneasy.

Dadu led tens of thousands of troops across the Baidao to Monan. Except for the non-stop message delivery for the first month, there has been no news for several days.

Tens of thousands of troops just disappeared for nothing...

The scouts heading to Monan have been setting out for three days. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be able to return this evening. Only then will we know what happened to the Monan army and why they cut off contact.

Qibi Kele was worried.

He knows how to be generous, and his temperament, ambition, and talent are all considered nice. If he is a bit meaner, he can be described as a loser.

Even with the help of Tuo Mo Zhi and Tu Mi Du, Qibi Kele still could not rest assured.

The Tang Dynasty was like a fierce tiger. When all his attention was on Goguryeo in the east, Xue Yantuo could bar his teeth behind him and take the opportunity to ask for some benefits. But if one really thought that the tiger of the Tang Dynasty was completely restrained by Goguryeo and that Xue Yantuo could do whatever he wanted, then he would definitely suffer backlash from the tiger.

Will Dadushu understand this truth?

Qibinkele thinks that may not be the case...

Looking up again at the southern mountains amid the wind and snow, Qibukele planned to go down to the city and return to his residence, drink two kilograms of fine wine brought by the merchants of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and wait for news from the scouts.

However, just as he turned around and was about to walk down the city wall, he suddenly felt a tremor under his feet.

Without warning, the entire city wall trembled slightly...(End of Chapter)
