When Zheng Lang arrived in Yongzhou, he first browsed the information sent by various parties.

Then Huang Fen, Shi Jian and other officials were called to discuss matters. First, Huang Fen led 2,000 soldiers and soldiers from Taiping Village to escort a batch of weapons and went to Pingxiangdong from Taiping Village. The cave master of Pingxiangdong is a centrist, which is one of the important areas of the future battle, so the scouts spyed on each cave in detail. The cave master did not have much feelings about the Song Dynasty, but he was not interested in Jiaozhi either.

But for Zheng Lang, it was enough.

Relatively speaking, more than half of the tribes in Qiyuan Prefecture cannot believe it, and at least more than 80% of the tribes in Menzhou cannot believe it. It is not that they enter Pingxiangdong, but that Huang Fen will take these supplies to the Nanguan Pass of Pingxiangdong outside the town, waiting for Guo Kui's orders.

Huang Fen was a clerk on Guangnan West Road. He also had another identity, a child of the Huang surname of the Nanyan Man tribe. Similar to Huang Fen, there were a few officials such as Huang Xiangui. After careful investigation by Zheng Lang, they all asked them to go to Yizhou and Yongzhou to serve as officials in states with many barbarians, using their special identities to mediate the conflicts and conflicts between the Han and the Barbarians.

As for Huang Fen himself, he directly submitted a letter to Zheng Lang and gave him the position of military affairs.

It is also one of the measures to appease the hearts of the barbarians.

Then he wrote a letter to Zhang Ke, and there were a large number of militias behind him, including Zhang Ke's army, divided into two groups, some of which were divided into Qinlian Prefectures, and most of them would be drawn to the south of Yongzhou. The second line was the Three Passes.

Zhennan Pass, Ping'er Pass, and Shuikou Pass.

Zhennan Pass is not called Zhennan Pass now, but Danan Pass. Zheng Lang changed his name to Zhennan Pass. Located on the south side of Pingxiangdong, it is the gate of Pingxiangdong. When Zheng Lang developed Guangnan West Road, he renovated and expanded the road from Taipingzhai to Pingxiangdong. There was also a road to the south, which was to go to Jueli Pass and Jiaozhi Avenue. However, after passing Zhennan Pass, Zheng Lang was not very interested, and although he was renovated, he was repaired and repaired.

There are two important passes to the west, originally just passes. However, after Zheng Lang built the road, the two passes became important. These two passes were the later famous Ping'er Pass and Shuikou Pass. Because of their importance, Zheng Lang built the pass again, and also named it Ping'er Pass and Shuikou Pass. The former is located in Yanzhou, and the latter is located in Zuojiangkou. Zuojiang upstream of Shuikou Pass is Pengjiang. Guo Kui went out of Guangyuanzhou and went south from Shuikou Pass.

If you keep these three levels, you will have a very interesting scene.

No one has noticed it yet.

This protection battle Zheng Lang named the Three Pass Battle, but it does not refer to this Three Pass, but the three interception battles using the level three times. Juli Pass is the first level, and the three passes are the second level. Until the third level, it is an epic battle.

But again, it's reasonable.

At least he knew a little about military affairs. Whether it was Menzhou or Sumaozhou, he had strong hostility towards all tribes in the Song Dynasty. It was necessary to set up three passes to prevent invasion in the west to prevent invasion. From the northwest to the Sumaozhou, the road to the northwest of Yongping Village blocked the Sumaoman's journey northward. To the northeast, Ruxi Village was also expanded to guard it.

Building these Guanzhai is a very normal move.

It was this series of rationality that ultimately built the entire battle direction.

Then he looked at Su Jian and asked, "Brother Xuanfu, I will give you a task."

"Xingzhi, please tell me." The two have a good relationship, and it was the same year, and Zheng Lang was grateful to Zheng Lang, so Su Jian has always been grateful to Zheng Lang.

"Jiazhi is about to invade for 40,000 troops, but in fact, many barbarian troops have sent troops to join. Even some barbarian troops in Menzhou and Sumaozhou have been plotting against each other. It is very likely that when the Jiaozhi army arrives, they will participate in the invasion. I have made a series of arrangements in Yongzhou, but the pressure will be great. I want you to assist General Zhang in organizing this battle for defense of Yongzhou. Can you do it?"

"Xingzhi..." Su Jian was a little puzzled. Zheng Lang said in the mobilization order that he would only advance but not retreat, and would personally take charge of Yongzhou. He would not take a step back.

"I'm going to this place," Zheng Lang pointed to the map.

Su Jian looked at the place where Zheng Lang pointed, and was so scared that he almost sat on the ground.

"Don't panic. Jiaozhi's troops are coming to invade in large numbers. Don't you think it would be a good opportunity? I discussed this invasion with Zhang Kang for a long time. Have you noticed that some places were wrong in the arrangement of the troops in my hands?"

"What's wrong?" Su Jian still didn't return to his soul.

"Many people are missing!"

There were 12,000 people led by Zheng Lang from Guangdong and Guangxi, and there were still 9,000 people left at this time, and the eighth battalion commander, with more than 10,000 people. Many local soldiers who had been in actual combat were not used in many places in Guangdong and Guangxi. The two states of Qin and Lian used not many troops. The cavalry trained by Zhang Kang may not be all the forbidden soldiers, and some were from local mature barbarians. After all, after the end of the Battle of Jiaozhi, most of them had to be taken to Jinghu South Road to deal with the Meishan barbarians. The local area must leave a light cavalry with fast reaction.

The area of ​​Guangdong and Guangxi is too large, especially Guangxi South Road itself has many Shengman. The situation on Guangnan East Road is better, and Shengman also exists. Even after twenty years of good internal governance, twenty years of good internal governance cannot be transformed into all Shengman on Guangnan West Road. It is not necessarily known whether the Man tribes on Guangnan East Road can be transformed into all the Shengman on Guangnan East Road after twenty years of great governance.

Therefore, although Guo Kui led 4,000 light cavalry to Juli Pass, there were only 2,500 regular ban soldiers.

But because Guangdong and Guangxi are too large, soldiers stationed everywhere, even if Jiaozhi attaches importance to intelligence work, it is impossible to detect such detailed information. Moreover, Zheng Lang has done a good job in keeping confidentiality, let alone Jiaozhi, Yu Jing cannot fully grasp the distribution of Guangdong and Guangxi forces.

Su Jian still didn't understand very much, and Zheng Lang whispered a word in his ear. Su Jian suddenly realized and said, "But it's still too dangerous."

"The soldiers are complementary. At least I am one step ahead of Jiaozhi in intelligence. The problem is that you, once I leave, all the logistics of Yongzhou will be handed over to you."

"Don't worry, I can do it."

Zheng Lang was indeed relieved of him. This person was loyal and fierce, not something ordinary people imagined.

Then he looked at the information in his hand and said that the commander of Jiaozhi was Prince Li Rizun.

It is not surprising that Jiaozhi was at the time of expansion. The whole country attached importance to martial arts. In the past, it was learned from the Tang Dynasty that divided the country into ten paths. It was not until the Li Dynasty that he learned from the Song Dynasty and divided the country into twenty-four paths, restrained the rights of local officials and defended the central imperial power.

The deputy general manager of the marching was Wu Er, who was expected by him. However, among a series of generals, he saw the name of a military supervisor, Li Changjie.

This person was not originally named Li, but was the fifth generation grandson of Wu Quan, the founder of Wu Yue. Because his father Yin was appointed as the lieutenant of Jiaozhi Horse Riding Camp, he was summoned to the palace at the age of 25. He was cut off and became a eunuch. He served as a guard and was a guard of the Yellow Gate. Li Dezheng and Li Rizun and his son trusted him very much.

Perhaps no minister of the Song Dynasty paid attention to this name now, but he was just a big eunuch. However, Zheng Lang knew clearly that this person was the one who commanded the Jiaozhi army to invade Yongzhou. Because he was a eunuch, he was psychopathic. He massacred countless people on Guangnan West Road.

It has nothing to do with hatred, but this person has some military talents.

Staring at the name, Zheng Lang thought for a while and said, "I'd better stay for a few days first, see what the war is going on ahead, and then decide to leave Yongzhou."

Then a series of orders were issued, and Guizhou and other prefectures urgently mobilized weapons and supplies that had been secretly prepared to Yongzhou.

...

The Battle of Juli Pass began.

Jiaozhi began to look down on him. The general guarding the pass only sent one deputy general to lead a thousand infantry out to fight.

Guo Kui smiled. Although the four thousand soldiers he brought were not as powerful as the five thousand cavalry carefully selected by Di Qing, he was also a carefully selected warrior. Although they were pseudo cavalry, they were cavalry after all, and the Jiaozhi people underestimated him too much.

He said to Zhong Ye: "It will be a little harder to fight later. Don't ask for speed, but please protect yourself. Wait for my order."

Hearing his strange order, Zhong Yan and his soldiers all started to laugh.

When you start a battle, you have to protect yourself, so you fight more restrainedly.

But that's it, the five hundred cavalrymen are not something that these thousand Jiaozhi soldiers can resist.

The two armies fought on this mountain road for only a moment. The Jiaozhi army gradually lost its rival under the repeated attacks and ravages of the Song Dynasty cavalry. Guo Kui shouted: "Kill."

Only then did the ferocious fangs reveal their hatreds, and hundreds of cavalrymen rushed towards the Jiaozhi people with all their strength.

Some Jiaozhi soldiers saw something wrong, so they fled to the level.

Guo Kui asked his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, and took dozens of prisoners who had not had time to escape into the level, stripped naked, and mentioned it to the level. He found some small thorn strips and sucked them at these naked Jiaozhi soldiers. Some of them made a spoof, specifically sucking them on the captives' small pp or small jj. This is too insulting.

The soldiers in the level screamed in anger.

The commander of the guard gate was also angry. If this matter was spread, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would arrive soon and he could use his head to sacrifice the banner.

In a fit of anger, he rushed out of the army.

The two armies fought again. Jiaozhi had a large number of troops and fierce troops, and occupied a condescending territorial advantage. The Song army gradually became unsupported and retreated. Gradually, they led out of the pass and became wider, not in plain areas. However, the Song army was all southern horses, and they did not reject these terrain and continued to have an advantage in speed. Therefore, although they were defeated, they kept making provocative and shameful moves, or making people angry words that made people angry.

Withdrew another mile.

Suddenly, a large number of Song Dynasty cavalry emerged from the mountains and forests on both sides.

Some cavalry directly cut off the rear of the Jiaozhi people, which was the ambush arranged by Guo Kui. The Jiaozhi people seemed to be a little contemptuous of the Song army, which was also noticed very early. So they personally led 500 cavalry to provoke and lure the Jiaozhi army from Li Pass out.

Intermediate information plays a key role.

For the sake of the south, nearly fifty scouts of the secret camp sacrificed in the past and afterwards, and many scouts have no news yet. After the war, the number of sacrifices will continue to rise.

After just sprinting back and forth twice, the Jiaozhi army collapsed. Some soldiers wanted to drill into the mountains and forests. When Guo Kui saw the fire, he asked his subordinates to use dialect to shout: "Subdue and surrender and do not kill."

In this battle, more than 1,100 soldiers from Jiaozhi were killed, more than 1,400 prisoners were captured, and only a few escaped into the mountains and forests. The relevant officials also left two hundred soldiers. The victory was very neat.

He escorted the prisoners and came back to the gate and shouted to the gate: "Surrender and not kill them, as long as the resisters, they will not stay after the level is captured."

He also ordered the captured guards to persuade the surrender to the city.

Some Jiaozhi soldiers wanted to continue to resist, but most of them lost their courage. I don’t know how many people came to the Song army, first five hundred, but now it seems to have become four or five thousand. Even when they arrived, I didn’t notice. Is there any Song army behind?

Under this pressure, hesitated for a while, some soldiers would close the door and open it, and surrender.

I took the Juli Pass and it was not dark yet.

Guo Kui sent some of his subordinates to send the prisoners to the rear. The entire Guangnan West Road lacked labor. Zheng Lang's slave arrest order led to Yan Chen's impeachment. It was actually too restricted and the cost of arresting slaves was high, which in turn made the merchants feel dissatisfied.

These prisoners of war are good slaves.

To be held in the rear, it can encourage the confidence and morale of the people, and it can be handed over to the merchants and landlords. There is no need to think about selling money, but it can change money in disguise. For example, let these rich people do good deeds, and whoever does more will give these prisoners of war to whom. This is equivalent to another way of taking it from the people and using it for the people.

In addition, it is to ask for weapons to guard the pass from the rear.

He began to count the supplies and weapons in the pass. It was not very ideal, Guo Kui scolded angrily: "The arrogant monkey."

As the heaviest pass to the Fuliang River, aren’t you afraid that the Song Dynasty will launch an active attack?

In desperation, the soldiers had to stop eating supper for the time being. With more than an hour before darkness, they cut down some wood from both sides of the mountain and brought some rocks as simple rolling stones. The news of the loss of Jueli Nai quickly spread to Jiaozhi Camp.

It was initially inexplicable that the Song Dynasty did not have much military force in Guangdong and Guangxi, so Jiaozhi attached great importance to these 4,000 light cavalry. After receiving the news that this army sent troops, he went to Guangyuanzhou. He was very puzzled. After thinking for a long time, he thought that it was the Nong clan that was about to start rebellion again. If this result was the most wonderful.

Why did you suddenly change your mind and suddenly come to Juli Pass?

After a long discussion, I thought that it was probably because the Song army learned that its army was heading south, and that the right troops were already officially attacking Qinlian Prefectures, and the Song Dynasty was preventing it, which was also very "reasonable". The Song army wanted to take down Juli Pass and win time for the rear.

This is not good news.

If you want to enter the Song realm, you still have a road. If you go back, you will detour from the west for a two hundred miles. There is a road that can enter Guangyuanzhou. But now there are tens of thousands of troops marching, and there are many miscellaneous armies with chaotic military disciplines, which makes the marching slower. The mountain road of 200 miles will be delayed at least four or five days. It is not delayed. If the Song army cannot set up a barrier, it will have to detour. How frustrating will this have on morale?

But a strong attack will inevitably lead to heavy losses.

After a long time, some soldiers who fled to the mountains and forests fled back after a lot of hardships. These mountains and forests are dense and the army cannot pass. If dozens of scouts were sent, these scouts would not be afraid of hard work or sacrifice, so they could still be done.

When the defeated soldiers came back, Yuanyuan reported the truth about the battle and said that only these four thousand Song troops had very strong combat power.

Listening to the report of the defeated soldiers, Li Changjie and Wu Er asked very carefully. They took out the map and looked at each other, and smiled at each other. It might be very powerful, mainly because their subordinates had a trap. So they decided to attack Li Nai.

At noon the next day, the Jiaozhi vanguard army arrived at Juli Pass. They set up camp, had lunch, and immediately fought against Li Pass to launch a fierce attack.

After so many years of war, the siege equipment and weapons and armor of the Jiaozhi people were not comparable to that of Nong Zhigao. Jiaozhi even launched a siege ladder that could be comparable to the Song Dynasty ladder.

Close the upper and lower limits, and start a bloody battle.

There are not many weapons to defend the city. The stones brought in last night were smashed down together, and the big wood was thrown down. The stones were slightly better, but these woods could not be considered real wood rolling. The real wood rolling is the type used in Anyuan City. Many iron spikes and nails were inlaid on the wood, hitting the head. Often these big iron nails can drill the helmet and drill directly into the head. These woods have some defensive effects, but are far less than real wood rolling.

The war was fierce, and more and more Jiaozhi soldiers attacked Shangguan City. If it weren't for the dangerous terrain, Juli Pass would have been lost under the strong attack of Jiaozhi people.

Then the main force of Jiaozhi gradually arrived and the offensive increased one after another.

Under the fierce attack of the Jiaozhi people, the Song army finally suffered large-scale casualties...)
