Me, Yuan Fang?

Chapter 348 Yanmen Pass

Yanmen Pass, here is a fortress, or a large-scale military fortification, and it is also an iron wall for the Song Dynasty to resist aggression.

Here, there are not only city walls, but also countless organs and natural dangers. Unless masters are used to forcibly cross the barriers and sneak attacks, the only way to use the army is to defeat them head-on.

It is precisely because of such an advantage that even when Song State faced Liao State and Jin State at the same time, it did not lose this important military location.After the Kingdom of Jin and Liao Kingdom were destroyed by Qin Dynasty, Yanmen Pass gradually developed towards a commercial city and became more and more prosperous.

But now, the Qing Dynasty broke off the war and annexed the territory outside the pass all the way. This place was reopened and became the key to stopping the Qing Dynasty's attack. Can drive all the way straight into Kaifeng!
Li Xiang, a Confucian general who has never appeared in any martial arts novels or official unofficial histories, is now the chief guard of Yanmen Pass.His father was originally a senior member of the court, but he was implicated because of his involvement in the reform. Although the whole family would not be punished, he also cut off his official career.

This time, the Qing Dynasty attacked the city all the way like a broken bamboo, and no generals in the Song Dynasty were willing to go.Li Xiang stood up and fought for a future for the sake of this country and also for the sake of being able to survive after death.

He succeeded!

When Song's army broke up, he rushed to Yanmen Pass in time to organize the Qing army and the rout to rely on natural dangers to firmly block the Qing army outside the pass for two months.

Those who lose their way will get little help, but those who gain the way will help more.Li Xiang's martial arts is just innate, and it is not enough for the army of the Qing Dynasty, which is like a landslide and tsunami. If the opponent uses a master to forcibly open the city gate, he will be the same.Fortunately, Song Guo's martial arts was still a bit bloody, and many masters came one after another, successfully stopping the Qing Dynasty's attack of masters.

"General, Mr. Qiao and Mr. Qi have arrived." A subordinate soldier reported.

Li Xiang waved his hand, "Please."

He didn't look back, but leaned half of his body to the outside of the city wall, and even put up a canopy between his eyebrows with his hands, as if he could see farther in this way.

This appearance was quickly seen by Qiao Feng and Qi Shaoshang who climbed the city wall, and they looked at each other with wry smiles.

Qiao Feng sighed: "My lord, are our supplies... already in short supply to this extent?"

Li Xiang was taken aback, and looked down at the nondescript appearance of his Confucian shirt, jacket, and armor, and was speechless for a while.

The inside of the armor is actually very particular about wearing it. Because the armor itself is very heavy, the inner clothing should be close-fitting, light and thin, and sweat-absorbent. It is easy to move.

Of course, if the army is bold enough, there is still a layer of soft armor added to the inside of the armor!

However, people like Li Xiang who have Confucian shirts inside can only be said to have no clothes to wear...

"This is a small problem. You can just find some fabric for the lining of the armor. This time, I have invited the two heroes here because I have some things and I want to ask them for their opinions."

"Sir, please speak."

Qiao Feng and Qi Shaoshang said at the same time that these two are now the leaders of the martial arts in Yanmen Pass.The former was from the Beggar Clan and was a disciple of the leader Wang Jiantong, while the latter was the owner of the Golden Wind and Rain Tower.It stands to reason that he is also a prominent figure in the original works of the Four Famous Captures series. Unfortunately, after Zhuge Zhengwo and Bao Zheng left the Song Dynasty, Cai Jing's party was almost invincible. How could he, a power in the world, oppose those powerful people?Therefore, the Golden Wind and Rain Building declined, and Qi Shaoshang also led his subordinates out of the foreground. It was not until this time when the national crisis was faced that he led his subordinates into people's sight again.

"I got a letter from the court before..."

"But the food and supplies are already on the way?" Qi Shaoshang was a little excited. Although his subordinates and other martial arts comrades could still have enough to eat, as the leaders, they already knew the secret of the shortage of food and grass.

Li Xiang paused for a moment and shook his head: "No, it is to inform us that the envoy of Daqin is about to arrive at Yanmen Pass, and ordered us to entertain him well."

"..."

Qiao Feng frowned and did not complain to the Daqin envoy, "That's fine, the Qing army must have given the face of the Daqin envoy, I guess they can rest for a few days."

Qi Shaoshang was disappointed but also optimistically said: "Yes, during the time when the Great Qin envoy arrives, I will send people out of the city to go hunting on the nearby mountains to accumulate food and prepare for the next battle."

Li Xiang smiled and nodded, "Then there are two heroes."

Qi Shaoshang suddenly asked again: "I don't know what is the origin of the Great Qin envoy this time?"

Li Xiang replied: "According to information, it is composed of three people. The main envoy is Li Yuanfang, the fifth general of the Great Qin Dynasty, and there are two deputy envoys, namely Zhan Hongling and Zhan Zhao."

"..."

Qi Shaoshang's sudden silence did not surprise Qiao Feng and Li Xiang, they more or less knew the relationship between Qi Shaoshang and them back then.

Seeing this, Qi Shaoshang smiled reluctantly, "Don't worry, you two, Shaoshang knows the general idea."

Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "According to the time, it's almost time. Please go down and restrain many fellow martial artists, don't lose courtesy and offend the Great Qin envoy."

How could Qiao Feng and Qi Shaoshang not understand what he meant? Many things happened these days, and their original arrogance was gradually smoothed away.

When the two got off the city wall, the disgust in the eyes of the soldiers next to them could hardly be concealed.

"My lord, those Jianghu people are just fine. Although they don't obey orders very much, they can at least speak reasonably and fight bravely. But those beggars...they are almost eating up our food and grass!"

Hush, Li Xiang immediately put his finger to his lips, and sighed: "The quality of the people in the beggar gang is inherently uneven. We have known this for a long time, but the key is the many masters of the beggar gang. They are against the masters of the Qing army. Important security, bear with it for now, food... I will find a way to get food."

"But my lord, we...we have almost wiped out the nearby mountains, and now I am afraid that even a rabbit can't be beaten." The soldier said in a dilemma.

Li Xiang rubbed his temples anxiously. He used to know that there was a habit of being greedy for food and grass in the imperial court, and there were often civil servants who used the method of delaying food and grass to beat generals, but he did not expect that such a problem would occur at such a critical juncture. .

"Send a team out to a village farther away to see if we can collect some food."

"Uh, my lord, this is a violation of military regulations. If someone harasses the common people with your book, then..."

"Make an IOU in my name. As long as you get through this period of time, there will be a day to pay it off." Li Xiang waved his hand wearily, then turned around and saw a team gradually approaching in the distance.

At first, they were more vigilant, and only when they saw the vertical flags did they order to open the city gate.

"Didn't you just say there are only three messengers and some guards? There are almost 50 people in this team!"

The team slowly entering the city gate is naturally Zuo Zhou and others. At this time, Zuo Zhou is very excited. The generals of the Qing army are obviously giving Daqin face. When the team passed by, there was no obstruction, they just watched from a distance. .

Now that he has entered Yanmen Pass, he has finally officially entered the territory of Song Dynasty. "My dear brother, you are familiar with this place. Are there any famous specialties in Yanmen Pass?"

Murong Fu resisted the urge to roll his eyes, are you here for a trip? "Brother Li doesn't know that this Yanmen Pass had a good economic development, but since the war, it has become a military fortress, so those merchants have left now."

"Well, it seems that there is nothing delicious here, and there is no good-looking clothes to buy." Zuo Zhou shook his head with some regrets. If he wanted to cross Yanmen Pass and enter the territory of Song Kingdom, he had to climb the mountains alone, or go from After passing the fortress, he would either go around a big circle and pass through the border of the Ming Dynasty. No matter what route Zhan Shiqi took, it seemed that he would not stay here.

"This is the great general Li Yuanfang, and the last general, Li Xiang, is far away."

Zuo Zhou turned his head and saw Li Xiang in a Confucian shirt and armor, and then looked at the Jianghu people around him who looked over from time to time, and said with a smile: "General Li has worked hard at guarding the gate, so there is no need to be polite. I will just stop for a while and leave I will never cause trouble for you."

Li Xiang felt relieved when he heard this, it would be great if those big figures in the court could cooperate like this, thinking of stretching out his hand to lead everyone to the City Lord's Mansion.

The arrival of the Great Qin Envoy attracted the attention of many people, especially those from the Jianghu. Many of them had met Murong Fu before, and they couldn't help but admire in their hearts that the Murong family was really powerful, and they were able to mix with the Great Qin Envoy.

Murong Fu was naturally aware of the attention of these Jianghu people, but he never cared about it, and even thought it was an opportunity to create momentum.

"Mr. Fan, tell me, if the Yanmen Gate is breached, will these Jiang Hu people fight to the death?"

Fan Zeng scanned around slowly, and snorted disdainfully: "A group of people who have no faith and no discipline, how can we expect them to fight to the end? I guess they will retreat once the city gate is broken!"

Murong Fu nodded in agreement, he has the status of a royal family, and the angle of view of the common people is different from that of ordinary people.Some things seem to be so, but the actual operation is not the same.

Just take these martial arts masters as an example. In terms of their individual strength, they are much stronger than ordinary soldiers, but if compared to fighting on the battlefield, they are often all dead, and ordinary soldiers are still strangling the enemy in a group battle!
discipline!fighting spirit!Belief!

These are the key points. They may have the same patriotic heart, but the soldiers gathered together are reefs, and they are still many scattered stones when gathered together, and no matter how big the stones are, they cannot stop the invasion of huge waves.

After Zhan Zhao entered the city gate, he has been patrolling left and right. When he saw a certain Jianghu person, he stretched out his hand and pulled him over, "Brother, where is your landlord?"

Hearing the words, this person didn't dare to be negligent. Firstly, he was strong, and secondly, he seemed to know their boss. "Are you still here just now?"

Zhan Zhao was a little disappointed when he heard that, he was obviously avoiding him!
