In early summer, a light rain came unexpectedly, and it fell finely and densely, and the distant mountains and forests were shrouded in a haze.This is the Yumai Xianxia Ridge at the eastern foot of Wuyi Mountain in western Zhejiang, an army of 5,000 people, marching in a column on a slightly muddy mountain road.The land of Fujian is mountainous, known as eight mountains, one water and one field.There are only two passages on the road from Zhejiang to Fujian, one is from Quzhou in western Zhejiang, over the Xianxia Ridge, into Fujian Jianning Mansion, and the other is from Wenzhou Mansion in southern Zhejiang, along the eastern foot of the Yandang Mountains, over the Yucang Mountain, breaking the water barrier, and entering Funing Prefecture in Fujian.When the Qing army entered Fujian, it was the first to take the first route, crossing the Xianxia Mountains and entering Fujian.This time, Zhao Ming also chose to attack Fujian from Xianxialing.In May, after the Han State learned that the Longwu Imperial Court, raided the Han State Trading Company, and attacked the Han State merchant ships, Zhao Ming, the king of the Han Dynasty, was furious, and made an article, listing the eight major crimes of Longwu, announcing his intervention in the war, and threatening to raise 300,000 troops in the near future, enter Jiangxi and build the Wu Army, and hunt Wuchang together.When the news came out, the world shook, the Longwu army was so frightened that they quickly shrank their forces and prepared to meet the battle, Zhu Yihai got the news, he was overjoyed, Zhao Ming was commended, and prepared wine to welcome the Han army.However, Zhao Ming was not prepared to wade into the troubled waters of Jiangxi, and the troops entered Jiangxi, but it was just a bluff and a sound to attack the west.After Zhao Ming and his advisers discussed, Zhang Jiayu pointed out that the Han army entered Jiangxi and won, but it was just a wedding dress for Jianwu, and defeat would hurt the vitality of the Han country.Chen Zilong, the judge of Bing Cao, believes that the army of Longwu, gathering Chu and Jiangxi, and the emptiness of Fujian and Yue, it is better to map Fujian and Guangdong first, and then Chu and Jiangxi.Zhao Ming thought deeply about this, and he was suspicious of Zhu Yihai's request for Han merchant ships to transport goods to Nanchang, so he chose the strategy of trying Fujian and Guangdong first.In order to paralyze the army of Tang and Lu, Zhao Ming chose to garrison troops in western Zhejiang, ostensibly preparing to enter Jiangxi westward, but in fact he turned south and crossed the Xianxia Mountains and entered Fujian.Longwu, Jianwu, and the Han Kingdom, the three forces are of the same clan as Wen, internal officials, and families, all of which are connected, and there are detailed works of the other two parties within each party, which is difficult to prevent.The movement of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Han State will inevitably be detected in detail, so Zhao Ming can only choose the road from Quzhou in western Zhejiang to Fujian.At this time, a drizzle fell densely, hitting the soldiers' hats and sliding down the robes.The Han soldiers in leather boots, completely ignoring the invasion of the rain, stepped on the mud, and quickly headed south.Wang Chaoxian, the general of the Han army, stood on horseback and stood beside the road, looked at the soldiers wearing hats, walked past in formation, and commanded: "Speed up, take advantage of this light rain to cover, and rush to Xianxia Pass to rest." ”At this time, Zhao Ming led more than 100,000 troops, assembled in Changshan County, Quzhou Prefecture, and put on a posture of entering Jiangxi from the west, while Wang Chaoxian got a secret order and led 5,000 elite soldiers to leave the camp at night, march south, and attack Xianxia Pass.Xianxia Pass is a strategic place connecting Zhejiang and Fujian, the gateway of Fujian, take Xianxia Pass, the door of Fujian is wide open, Zhao Ming can wave his army to the south, seize Fujian.Because Zheng Chenggong led the main force of the Zheng army into Jiangxi to help the war, the Fujian army was very empty, so once successful, the Han State could capture Fujian and Guangdong at a very small cost.At this time, the army marched in a hurry, and after walking for more than ten miles, it gradually became tired.After several days of marching, 5,000 elite soldiers had arrived near Dongjiao Creek, which was less than twenty miles away from Xianxia Pass.When Wang Joseon saw this, he immediately pointed to a nearby wood, which was still dry, and first asked the scouts to investigate, and then ordered: "Give the order to go down and rest on the spot." ”By this time, the drizzle had stopped, and the weary soldiers entered the woods, hastily ate a little dry food, and then leaned against the trunk of the tree and fell asleep.Wang Chao first stood on the mountain, at the foot of the mountain in the distance, Xianxia Pass loomed, he observed for a moment, and then immediately convened his subordinates to discuss the matter."
Judging from the intelligence, Xianxia Pass is guarded by 3,000 defenders, and the pass is dangerous, the governor came over the mountains and mountains, and he didn't bring artillery and siege equipment, so he definitely can't take it down."
Wang Joseon used a tree branch on the ground to draw the terrain of Xianxia Pass, and said in a deep voice: "Therefore, this governor is ready to outwit, what do you think?"
”Zheng Chenggong and Zhao Ming have a good personal relationship, but there are actually a lot of conflicts of interest, so when Zheng Chenggong sent troops to Jiangxi, he deployed 3,000 heavy troops to guard Xianxia Pass.In Pucheng after Xianxia Pass, there is also a general Hong Xu who leads 10,000 people to reinforce at any time, and Lan Deng, a general on the sea, leads the sailors to monitor the sea surface and make quite thorough arrangements."
This Xianxia Pass, built between two peaks, in front of the pass is a slope that is several miles long, even if there are cannons and equipment, it is difficult to capture, not to mention that the army is lightly armed."
Yan Ermei, who joined the army, said: "Humble is in favor of outwitting!"
”However, yes is yes, but how to outwit it, everyone has no strategy.In the middle of the sound, Yan Ermei said: "Dudu, the lowly position feels that instead of meditating here, it is better to let the lowly position go to the front of the pass to have a look, and maybe he can find a countermeasure to break the level." ”Wang Chao pondered for a while, anyway, he couldn't think of any strategy to outwit now, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then go to the front of the pass and have a look!"
”At that moment, Yan Ermei took a few capable scouts and walked to the woods in front of the pass, observing the Xianxia Pass.Despite the constant wars in the world, Zhejiang and Fujian have entered a long era of peace.Xianxia Pass, as a pass connecting the two places, is also an important trade route, and there used to be an endless stream of caravans every day.However, after Zheng Chenggong entered Jiangxi, the passage of Xianxia Pass was basically closed, and it was occasionally opened, and it had to be subject to strict inspection before it could enter the customs."
Join the army, look!"
In the woods, a scout pointed downwards to a convoy of mules with flags planted in the direction of Xianxia Pass.Seeing this, Yan Ermei looked down, and sure enough, she found a team of people and horses, driving dozens of carts, to Xianxia Pass.After a short time, the defenders checked a little, then moved away from the rejection horse and let the convoy enter Xianxia Pass."
What's going on?
Isn't it a closure?
”Yan Ermei couldn't help but wonder."
Join the army, or we will pretend to be a caravan and blend into the customs!"
A scout said.Yan Ermei shook his head, to the point of veto, since the caravan can pass, it means that the Xianxia Pass guards have not thoroughly implemented the policy of sealing the customs, so the Han army can pretend to be a caravan to grab the pass, but it is okay to pretend to be a caravan, but it is necessary to find out why the caravan can clear the customs.Yan Ermei and his party lay down in the woods for a while, took out a clairvoyant mirror to look carefully, and suddenly their eyes lit up."
The general knows that these caravans are the Zheng family's own caravans, and the small flag planted in the front of the car is the banner of the five merchants of Shan."
Yan Ermei smiled: "Go, go back and report to the governor!"
”In the woods, Wang Chao first listened to Yan Ermei's words, and said in a deep voice: "Not long ago, the Tang Domain's side confiscated the trading company of our Han Kingdom, and many people asked His Highness to also seal the trading company on the Tang Domain's side, but His Highness did not accept it, saying that it could not damage the business environment.Now it seems that although we have raided, the Zheng family's business, fearing retaliation, still retreats to Fujian. ”()
