Wuhu Mingyue

Tongguan (Tongguan is located in the north of Tongguan County, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province. It is adjacent to the Yellow River in the north and on the mountainside in the south. <"Shui Jing Zhuan" contains: "The river flows in the south of the pass to Tongjiguan Mountain, because it is called Tongguan." It was built in the first year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (96 years). Tongguan is the east gate of Guanzhong, and because Tongguan is located at the ferry of the Yellow River, it is located in the hub of Shanxi, Shanxi and Henan provinces, and the hub of the post road from Chang'an to Luoyang, which is the key to enter and exit the Three Qin Dynasty. It is the must-pass and defensive pass for entering the Central Plains in the east and exiting the Guanzhong and Western Regions in the west. It has always been a place for military strategists to contend for.

General Zhang Dan's face was covered in blood. He couldn't tell whether the blood was his own or someone else's. All the infantry in Tongguan had mutinied, and the soldiers around him were almost dead. I didn't expect it. , Tongguan natural danger turned out to be destroyed in the hands of our own people!

"General Zhang, let's abandon the pass and escape! Tongguan can no longer be held...!"

Zhang Dan stared angrily at the soldier beside him, and stabbed the soldier who persuaded him to death with a sudden sword. Zhang Dan furiously said to the remaining soldiers: "Anyone who disturbs the morale of the army, Kill without mercy! Hold on, everyone. It has been a long time since I sent the letter to the King of Nanyang. I believe that the King of Nanyang will not give up on the natural danger of Tongguan. He must have sent troops to support us with food. As long as we continue to Persist for a few days, at most a few days!"

Suddenly, Zhang Dan felt a pain in his stomach, and a long sword had passed through his body...

The soldiers around Zhang Dan watched this scene dumbfounded. They didn't expect that the soldier Zhang Dan trusted the most killed Zhang Dan...

Everyone drew their swords and locked on the murderous soldier!

"Damn put down the knife for me, Zhang Dan is dead, how many days have we been hungry, who saw a shadow of the soldiers and horses of the King of Nanyang? There is no hair! What is the use of us defending the City Lord's Mansion now? ? The brothers outside the house will call in at any time, can we defend it?"

Everyone knew that what this soldier said was the truth, but after all, he killed Zhang Dan who was so kind to them...

Everyone involuntarily glanced at Zhang Dan in the pool of blood. Suddenly, one person threw his sword on the ground, one, two, three, and gradually everyone dropped their swords, and they surrendered...

Seeing that all the people had given up resistance, and no one even stood up for Zhang Dan, the assailant's personal soldiers lost all fear and shouted loudly: "You all go out with me, let's go and tell the brothers outside. , Zhang Dan is dead, so not only can we all survive, but if possible, we can also have a way out!"

"What way out"?Everyone asked in unison: "Now what is the way out for us? There is no food, 3 people, we can't survive..."

"How can there be no way to survive? Believe me, let's go out and tell all the brothers that I have a way to lead everyone to survive!"

Outside the government

Standing on a high place, the murderer's personal soldiers held the head of the prefect Zhang Dan and shouted at all the rebels: "Have you seen this? This is the head of the prefect Zhang Guang. I have killed him because We will make trouble with this person, won't we!"

"Yes!"

"Yes, it's all because he didn't give us food!"

"Good kill!"

Seeing that the emotions of the crowd had been controlled, the murderer's soldiers threw Zhang Dan's head into the crowd with a wave of his hand, and then continued to shout: "Everyone knows that we have no food, and we will starve to death without food." , and the damn Nanyang King Sima Mo didn't send us any food. I checked Zhang Dan's mansion, and this birdman actually hid a lot of grain that was withheld. Take out these grains! Just because he has already found a buyer for these grains and plans to sell them at a high price due to the lack of grain in Guanzhong, such a person! Do you hate it?!"

"hatred!"

"He's a scumbag!"

"Good job, we want food!"

The assailant soldier nodded in satisfaction, pointed at the inner mansion with a wave of his finger, and said loudly: "Everyone has been hungry for a long time, I will let you go in to bring food, but this little food is not enough for us How long, and we have already killed the prefect, Nanyang King will definitely pursue it, you say, what should we do?"

"We listen to you!"

"We will do what you say!"

"As long as there is food, we will listen to you!"

"Okay! Now that everyone has said that, I have a proposal. We can't go back to Nanyang King. Now that the Huns have broken through the Hangu Pass, they will arrive at our place soon. In my opinion, we might as well surrender to the Huns Bar!"

As soon as the murderer's personal soldier's voice fell, there was a sudden silence.

The murderer's personal soldier touched his forehead, he was still sweating on such a cold day...

The assailant soldier pretended to be furious and said: "You have all thought it through! You have killed the prefect... Yes, I killed the man, but according to the law of Jin, do you think you can live well after the death of the general? And if The food and grass in the mansion have also been eaten, what do you do? I promise, as long as we surrender to the Huns, I will let the Huns also guarantee that your family is small. You all know what happened in Luoyang, how many people died, Luoyang If we can’t hold it anymore, how can we hold Tongguan? Or do you want your family members to die under the Huns’ cavalry?”

"We are willing to surrender!"

"As long as we can keep our family, we are willing to surrender!"

"We all listen to you, as long as we can survive!"

The assailant soldier relaxed after hearing everyone's stance, and only then did he realize that he was already covered in sweat...

Six hours later, at night, Tongguan

"Brother, there is a second son Zhang Mai who claims to be the governor of Liangzhou Zhang Guang outside the pass, asking to see him, saying that he has something important to report!"

The murderer's personal soldier sneered, and said, "Let's go and have a look."

Tongguan City Wall

"Who is coming? Our general is here. If you have anything to say, tell our general!"

"I am Zhang Mai, the son of Zhang Guang, the governor of Liangzhou, and I have an emergency military report to the general of Tongguan!"

"I am the prefect of Tongguan. If you have any urgent military situation, just tell me here!"

Zhang Mai asked someone to raise the torch a little higher, but he still couldn't see the face of the Tongguan guard. The city wall of Tongguan was too high...

Zhang Mai had no choice but to reply loudly: "Let me enter the pass quickly, the Huns are coming soon, and my father Zhang Guang has already been stationed in Daizi Ying Township! I hope the general will let me enter the pass quickly and we can talk about it in detail!"

"Let you enter the customs? Haha, brothers, he said to let him enter the customs?"

There was a burst of laughter on the city wall!

Zhang Mai's face immediately turned livid, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak...

"What nonsense Zhang Guang, Governor of Liangzhou, Mr. Zhang Guang, is far away in Liangzhou. How could he be here? The two places are far apart, and there has never been an official communique saying that Governor Zhang will come to the rescue. Are you trying to lie to us? ?!"

"I'm really the son of Governor Zhang. Let me enter the customs quickly. The Huns have already killed them. I want to see your prefect Zhang Dan, Mr. Zhang!"

"Come on, shoot me arrows and kill these liars!"

When Zhang Mai saw that the defenders on the city wall of Tongguan were already bending their bows and setting arrows, he immediately turned his horse's head and shouted loudly at his own soldiers: "Let's go! Let's retreat!"
