Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2060 Wuchuan Town
The army marched northward from Baidao, crossed the entire Yinshan Mountains, and suddenly saw a vast sky and earth.

Goose-feather-like heavy snow fell from the eastern sky one after another. The north wind was not strong, and there was a snowfield in sight.

When the Youtunwei army came out of Beijing, they all had one man and two riders. In the battle at Baidaokou, Xue Yantuo's entire army was wiped out, and countless horses and luggage were confiscated. The number of war horses was greatly supplemented. Horse, dash forward.

Gao Kan led the rear army and followed closely behind.

The sky and the earth are boundless, and the clouds are born in an instant, and the snowflakes are as big as a mat.

The horses around him were racing furiously in the snow, the sound of their hooves was drowned in the snow, only the rumbling sound.

Fang Jun rode his horse and galloped wildly, snowflakes hit him head-on, not only did he not feel the cold, but his blood was rushing in his chest, his whole body was hot, and his ambition was soaring!

Born in the peaceful years of later generations, has he ever had such ambition and high spirits?
What can I do if I only need to resist the Hulu, and the thunderbolt sweeps the hole, and the corpse is always shrouded in horse leather and buried in northern Xinjiang?

Ambition to eat Hulu meat, laugh at the thirst to drink Xiongnu blood!

Swing the army to the north, and go straight to Longcheng.

So be it boy!
The snowflakes are getting bigger and bigger, and the cold wind is getting biter.

Through the wind and snow, a fortified city looms ahead in the wilderness, with a majestic figure standing above the sky, and there is Wuchuan Town!
The first strong city in northern Xinjiang, which stands at the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain, only needs to be captured, and there will be no city that can stop the Tang cavalry in the vast and vast northern border. .

This strong city established by the Xianbei people once served as one of the six towns in the Northern Wei Dynasty to help the Northern Wei Dynasty resist the invasion of the northern Turkic people. Relying on the Yinshan natural moat, this barely resisted the Turkic invasion to the south.

Wuchuan and other six towns all fell under the control of the Turks.

The power of the six towns at that time gradually evolved into the Guanlong noble group, and Wuchuan Town, as the key pass guarding the Yinshan Pass, was successively regarded by the Turks and Xue Yantuo as the key to prevent the Tang army from going north.

In their eyes, Wuchuan Town is the most fortified city in Mobei, as solid as a rock, as impregnable as gold!

Even when Dadu set up his army to cross the Baidao and go south to Chilechuan, there were still [-] Xue Yantuo soldiers trained by the Han people who were good at defending the city. Datang has any chance to go out of his way!

However, it is such a city that the Tiele people regard as "never fall", in the eyes of Fang Jun, it is no different from a pig shed and a chicken coop.

"Keep moving forward without stopping. After arriving at Wuchuan Town, without taking a rest, attack the city immediately. Within an hour, break through the city!"

On the horse, Fang Jun gave the order.

The wind and snow gradually howled, covering the dull sound of horseshoes more and more difficult to distinguish, and the orders were conveyed layer by layer.

All the soldiers cheered up and cheered up, waiting for the upcoming first battle since Duke Wei Li Jing's raid on Yinshan, where no Tang army has ever set foot in the northern border!
As long as you win this battle and capture Wuchuan Town, that will be a great military achievement!

In Fang Jun's view, there has never been an invincible city in this world.

an hour?
That would have to be the first attack on the city since Youtunwei became an army, and there must be fault tolerance...

*****
In Feng Shui, there is a word called "where the king's qi gathers" and "where the dragon's veins are located", which means that the wind and shui in this place is extremely "prosperous". Mutually.

Wuchuan Town is such a place where "Wang Qi gathers".

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, in order to defend the national capital Pingcheng, a series of military towns were established along the Great Wall, of which six were the most important, namely: Wuchuan Town, Woye Town, Huaishuo Town, Fuming Town, and Rouhuang Town, collectively referred to as the Northern Six Later generations called it "Six Towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty" or "Six Towns of Xianbei".

These six towns were important military towns in the Northern Wei Dynasty against the invasion of the northern nationalities, and most of the generals guarding them were noble relatives of the Tuoba family and virtuous officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In the 17th year of Taihe, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital from Pingcheng to Luoyang.

The southward movement of the political center caused the status of the six northern towns to decline rapidly.At the same time, it also rapidly weakened the Northern Wei court's control over the six towns.After the central government's control over the six towns in the north weakened, the generals in the six towns began to move around. They formed cliques with each other, formed friendship with each other, and fought for power and profit with each other, becoming warlords of their own.

In this case, war is imminent.

In the fifth year of Guangzheng in the Northern Wei Dynasty, an uprising broke out in Woye Town first, and the war quickly swept across, and the six towns in the north soon fell into the chaotic situation of warlord separatism.

Wars bring disasters to the people, but there is also an advantage, that is survival of the fittest!During this war, Yu Wentai from Wuchuan Town and Gao Huan from Huairou Town gradually rose up and became the two most powerful separatist forces, quickly dominating the political situation in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, Gao Huan and Yu Wentai are both heroes in the world, attacking each other, but neither can do anything to the other.

In the third year of Yongxi in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowu secretly fled to Guanzhong to attach himself to Yuwentai.Gao Huan also established Yuan Shanjian as the emperor, which was the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

In the following year, Yu Wentai poisoned Emperor Xiaowu, and made Yuan Baoju the emperor, which was the Western Wei Dynasty.

The once tyrannical Northern Wei Dynasty was divided by Gao Huan and Yu Wentai into two separatist regimes, the Eastern Wei and the Western Wei...

Yuwentai has a general named Yang Zhong, who is tall, brave, far-sighted, and has a great strategic vision. He made great contributions in the war with the Eastern Wei Dynasty and was appreciated by Yuwentai. General, who was later named "Sui Guogong" - "Sui", does it sound familiar?

Yes, this person is Yang Jian's father.

Yu Wentai is a farsighted statesman and military strategist.

It can be said that the foundation of the Sui Dynasty's ability to unify the whole country lies in him.

Yu Wentai established a brand-new military system in the Western Wei Dynasty, the government military system...

That's right, the founder of the invincible military system that the Tang Dynasty relied on to shock the world was Yu Wentai.

At the top of the Fubing system, there are eight generals of the Zhu Kingdom, known as the "Eight Zhu Kingdoms". At that time, the eight Zhu Kingdoms were: Yu Wentai, Yuan Xin, Li Hu, Li Bi, Duguxin, Zhao Gui, and Yu Jin , Hou Mo and Chen Chong.

Li Hu is Li Yuan's grandfather, and one of Duguxin's daughters married Yang Jian... After Yuwentai's death, the Yuwen family replaced the Tuoba family in the Western Wei Dynasty and established the Northern Zhou Dynasty.After the death of Gao Huan in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, his son Gao Yang usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and established the Northern Qi Dynasty, which was later destroyed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In the end, Yang Jian replaced Yu Wenyan, usurped Zhou and established the Sui Dynasty, and unified the world.

The situation in the world is changing, capable people and strange men emerge in endlessly, and these heroes who came out of Wuchuan Town are stronger than each other. This pair of father and son established Datang and created the prosperity of Datang.

Wuchuan Town is the birthplace of the Guanlong nobles, the root of the Sui and Tang dynasties. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a place where "the king's spirit gathers".

*****
Wuchuan Town.

On the high city wall, the guard Qibi Ke held his waist knife with his hands, looking into the distance.

The snowflakes are like a mat, the north wind is howling, and there is only a sparse outline of the majestic Yinshan Mountain in the distance.

The windy and snowy wilderness is filled with a strange sense of tranquility. The tranquility hidden in the extreme hustle and bustle fills Qibi Kele with uneasiness.

Dadu set up to lead an army of tens of thousands across Baidao to Monan, except for the uninterrupted delivery of news for the first month, there has been no news for several days.

Tens of thousands of troops just disappeared for no reason...

The scouts heading to Monan have already set out for three days. If there is no accident, they will be able to return this evening. Only then will they know what happened to the army in Monan and why they cut off contact.

Qibi Kele was worried.

He knows too well how to set up a person with great generosity. He has a bad temper, great ambition and talent.

Even with the assistance of Tumozhi and Tumidu, Qibi Kele still couldn't rest assured.

Datang is like a fierce tiger. When all his attention is on Eastern Goguryeo, Xue Yantuo can bark his teeth behind him and take the opportunity to ask for some benefits.But if you really think that the tiger of Datang is completely restrained by Goguryeo, Xue Yantuo can do whatever he wants, then he will inevitably suffer the backlash of the tiger.

Does Dadushe understand this truth?

Qibi Kele thinks it may not be...

Looking up again at the southern mountain range in the snow, Qibi Kele planned to go down to the city and return to his residence, drink two catties of fine wine brought by merchants from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and wait for news from the scouts.

However, just as he turned around and was about to walk down the city wall, he suddenly felt his feet tremble.

Without warning, the entire city wall trembled slightly...
