Tongguan was located in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it is located in the eastern part of the Guanzhong Plain, and is located in the key places of Qin, Jin and Henan provinces.
The situation of Tongguan is very dangerous, there are Qinling Mountains in the south, there is a forbidden valley in the southeast, and there are many cities in the south of the valley for a long time; There are Wei and Luo Erchuan in the north, and the Yellow River hugs down, and the west is near Huayue.
The surrounding mountains are even mountains, peaks are even peaks, the valleys are deep and the precipices are exclusive, the mountains are high and the roads are narrow, and there is a narrow sheep intestine path in the middle, and only one car and one horse can be allowed to go back and forth.
Therefore, Tongguan is an important place among the military strongholds.
Xiaoguan is located in the lower reaches of Bashui, with continuous Tsukaling Mountain in the north, Lantian in the west, basin in the south, and Shangluo in the east.
It is difficult to say when it was established, it should have been started in the Cao Wei period, strengthened by the Western Jin Dynasty, and repeatedly expanded in the later period of the Xiongnu Liu Dynasty and Zhao State to form Xiongguan.
In fact, there is a Lantian Pass behind Xiaoguan, but because of the existence of a Xiaoguan in front, the importance of Lantian Pass has been declining, and Lantian Pass has been in semi-abandoned fact after being in disrepair.
Shi Hu asked Ran Min to only bring 10,000 troops, and Ran Min really brought 10,000 troops, in addition to the troops, don't you want people, no one stipulates that 10,000 troops limit how many people can bring, so nearly 200,000 people are not too much Looking at the structure of the 200,000 people, there are about 140,000 young and strong, and the rest are old and weak women and children.
Looking at the baggage carried by Ran Minjun, there were more than 30,000 animal carts, at least 70,000 stones of grain, and some ordnance, cloth and miscellaneous things. 30,000 cattle carts, pulled by more than 40,000 horses and 20,000 oxen, and nearly 10,000 horses and more than 4,000 cattle as a backup.
Needless to say, the horse is actually a part of the war horse, and the reason why the war horse is drawn by the chariot is completely out of camouflage.
The weapons traded between Ran Min and the Han Department were relatively miscellaneous, most of them were spear heads, war knives, arrows, a small number of war swords and horse lances, and the total number of melee weapons reached 80,000, and the number of arrows was 250,000.
In terms of armor, there are 1,800 pairs of iron armor and 3,000 pairs of leather armor.
And this is the transaction of the later period, not counting the previous two years.
In the transaction between the two sides, the amount of salt and salted fish is the largest, so much that Ran Min can sell it to the outside world in addition to providing it to the headquarters, which is an important source of wealth for Ran Min in recent years.
"There are so many transactions given to us, and the amount in Liu Yan's hands can be imagined."
Ran Min said with envy: "In just four years, from scratch, it is hard to imagine how to develop to have today's strength." ” "Exactly" Wang Jian said slowly: "Many things are not rumors, Liu Yan really has tens of thousands of armor soldiers in his hands, that is still the number at the beginning, and now there will be at least 20,000, which is something that is difficult for all countries to do."
Not only the infantry soldiers, but also the armor and cavalry equipment are as many as tens of thousands."
There are not as many armor soldiers in Liu Yan's hands as there are 20,000, it should be less than 5,000, after all, there is no more "summoning" swordsmen in the back, but the number of non-systematic armor soldiers continues to increase.
The number of real mounted heavy cavalry in Liu Yan's hands is only one thousand and five, that is, the tiger army, and the rest of the systematic cavalry only have a set of armor, and the horses have no armor protection.
Of course, even if it is a force, only some core personnel will know, and the outside can only rely on speculation.
"They also have crossbowmen and crossbowmen."
Jiang Gan said that during the battle of Taishan County, the new arms of the Han army appeared: "It was hidden before, and it was exposed during the battle with Deng Heng." ” A sound of inhalation appeared, there were so many armor soldiers and armor cavalry, and a considerable number of crossbowmen, they couldn't figure out how Liu Yan could develop and have such a strong production capacity.
"We'll have crossbows and repeaters too."
Ran Min gave his subordinates a dose of cardiotonic: "It will be shipped over in two months at the latest." ” Ran Min and Liu Yan's transactions are very frequent, but the transaction method is a little special, Liu Yan does not need money, Ran Min's payment method is people.
In the previous and subsequent transactions, Liu Yan obtained more than 180,000 people from Ran Min's side, and most of them were miscellaneous people.
In the later transactions, the number of Jin people sent by Ran Min soared, and the last batch reached the number of 40,000 Jin people, that is, the number of young and strong people was small, and most of them were old and weak women and children.
Liu Yan almost did not refuse to come, and he didn't say much about the large number of Jin people, old and weak women and children, after all, it could be seen that Ran Min was arranging the raising of troops, although he was taken advantage of, but accepting the old and weak women and children was equivalent to helping Ran Min prepare for war, which was beneficial to everyone.
Tiaoyu asked excitedly: "How much" "Two thousand strong crossbows, five hundred repeating crossbows."
Wang Jian said with some regret: "Even the arrows need to be made by ourselves." ” "That's not a thing" Tiao Yu was very happy: "That's a crossbow, I don't know how many times stronger than a bow" With the ordnance that Ran Min carried, there was absolutely no problem in arming another fifty or sixty thousand people, and he really wanted to do something big when he entered Guanzhong this time.
Guanzhong is a good place, even if Zhengguoqu is destroyed and abandoned, it still can't change the fact that Guanzhong is a granary.
Because of the national policy of Shijie Zhao, the elite people of the Qiang and Di tribes are all in Xiangguo, which is equivalent to giving Ran Min a chance to occupy Guanzhong.
They have already thought about it, and after entering Guanzhong, they immediately control Tongguan, Xiaoguan, and Lantian Pass, which is equivalent to locking the throat of Guandong entering Guanzhong, and there is a lot to be done.
Ran Min wants to enter the customs, in addition to the 10,000 troops that have been reorganized and the 200,000 people, there are still people who spontaneously follow the relocation.
The huge team arrived at Michi, how could the Fu clan not be nervous, you must know that the army and the people have not been so clear in these years, and the young and strong can be put into the battlefield with a little arming.
Therefore, the reason given by Fu Jian after stopping Ran Min was that the number of people led by Ran Min greatly exceeded the number given by Shi Hu, and he refused to allow Ran Min to enter Guanzhong.
"Seven days" Ran Min raised his hand and clenched it into a fist: "Seven days is the time limit, if Fu Jian doesn't get out of the way, he will attack directly" Fu Jian may have tried to scare Ran Min to the greatest extent, and the Di soldiers he brought should be about 30,000 Although the Shijie Zhao State attached great importance to the two thugs of the Qiang and Di tribes, the restrictions on the two ethnic groups were also very serious, for example, the elite population of the Qiang and Di ethnic groups were restricted to the vicinity of Xiangguo for surveillance, and the number of ethnic soldiers of the two ethnic groups was strictly limited locally.
There are definitely more than 2 million Qiang people living in the northwest, and due to Shi Hu's restrictions, there are only about 80,000 Qiang soldiers.
It's a joke to say that there are no more clan soldiers in private, but because they are too restricted to be openly reorganized, and then there is the fact that the ordnance is difficult to build on a large scale, the quality of the clan soldiers in the secret must be much worse than those in the public.
The situation is similar on the Di side, Shi Hu allowed the Di people to recruit 50,000 troops in Guanzhong, which was somewhat difficult to calculate in private, but Fu Jian brought 30,000 over to give Ran Min a good opportunity.
"Most of the regular soldiers are here, as long as they are defeated, it will be difficult for them to gather troops again in a short time."
Wang Jian paused for a moment, waiting for everyone to digest the information before he said: "The more troublesome thing is in the back, the Di clan will inevitably fight with us, and the reaction of the Xiangguo side should also be taken into account." ” Jiang Ganle sighed for a moment and said, "It's very simple, just say that the Di people want to rebel."
Regardless of whether Xiangguo's side believes it or not, there is nothing wrong with muddying the situation first. ” There are people everywhere in Shijie Zhao Kingdom, and some time ago, the Shengqiang in the northwest was still in chaos, so why can't the Di people be chaotic Because there are riots everywhere, it is estimated that the center of Shijie Zhao has long been accustomed to it, and it is a bit difficult to fabricate Guanzhong to make a rebellion, after all, Fu Hong has always stayed in Xiangguo, and the essence of the Di clan is also near Xiangguo, as long as Shi Hu checks a little, he can know whether Fu Hong really wants to rebel, so he can only mix up the food and buy more time.
Seven days passed in a blink of an eye, and Ran Min used this time to make a number of preparations, including controlling Michi and reorganizing 30,000 young people.
Speaking of which, Ran Min definitely has a set of commanding the army, although those young men have already been trained before, but it is really not so easy to improve the reorganization of 30,000 people in a short period of seven days.
"Meet Fu Jian, when I lead the army to charge the Qiang army, the Chinese army will directly take Fu Jian's head, and you will deal with the rest of the enemy army."

Ran Min was wearing heavy armor, and his mount, Zhu Longma, was also wearing armor.
He was holding a horse lance, two hooked halberds stuck in his back, a war sword hanging from his waist, and a riding bow and quiver on one side of the horse: "Annihilated 30,000 Qiang soldiers in one battle" The crowd, even the scribes, were armed, and each of them had a piece of armor for cavalry, but the mounts were not armoured.
The city was full of soldiers preparing to fight, and the closest to the city gate were nearly 1,500 armored cavalry, followed by at least 3,000 foot soldiers in leather armor, and then some infantry soldiers who were only armed with weapons.
Don't pay too much attention to it, Ran Min's army does not have a unified battle uniform, it looks like it is colorful and complicated.
The real situation is that the entire Shijie Zhao State is unified with Longteng guards, and the rest are only the personal guards of the big names who wear unified uniforms, and the rest of the soldiers, whether they are county soldiers or anything, do not have unified military uniforms.
The armor is considered to be the essence of a country, and the number of armor and riding equipment represents how strong the power is.
Previously, Ran Min had also saved a lot of heavy armor, but he couldn't expose it, but now there is not much so-called.
The knights under Ran Min's armor and cavalry are basically members of various families, and only those who can ensure that the food is sufficient and abundant can have a strong physique.
In fact, it is also like that, the cold weapon battlefield competition is the system, after all, only enough physique can put on heavy armor and wield weapons, so that skinny people can wear seventy or eighty pounds of heavy armor without taking two steps and don't know what to look like, so how to fight Seeing that Fu Jian unceremoniously led nearly 20,000 troops to the outside of Michi City, Ran Min first watched the city tower for a while, and finally sneered: "Gentlemen, seize the battle of Guanzhong here", said and took the lead to get off the city pass, Lisuo turned over and shouted: "Open the city gate":
