It is said that far away water can not quench the near thirst, but the location of Fengtai Pass is very important to the Dayan Dynasty. It is the northern gate of the entire Central Plains, and there is a flat river to the south of Shuozhou. Once Fengtai Pass is lost, there will be no more capital. Barriers to rely on.

It is precisely because Fengtai Pass is so important that the wars during the Chunhua period were so tragic. In order to make up for the consequences caused by Wen Hong's retreat, the Dayan Dynasty paid the lives of three princes and [-] soldiers to stop the Tie Le people. In the north of Fengtai Pass.

Not to mention the subsequent series of chain reactions of the abolished empress, the collapse of the emperor, and the abolition of the emperor's capital. It is no exaggeration to say that it destroyed the decades of accumulation of the dynasty.

After King Huai of Qi was abolished, Emperor Kang Yi appointed his younger brother Wei Xi as emperor, who later became Emperor Xianzong.

If there were other choices, the courtiers at that time were very reluctant to make the prince born by Empress Wen emperor, but Emperor Yingzong only favored Jiaofang, and the only two sons and one daughter were born to Empress Wen. There are too many variables for the second prince to set up a separate clan son.

The Dayan Dynasty, which was already in a precarious state, could not withstand more blows. Out of overall considerations, the new Changning Prince Ji Xuan, who had favored Princess Fu'an, supported the second prince, Wei Xi, to avoid further turmoil in the court.

Emperor Xianzong was much smarter than his elder brother. After he took the throne, he didn't mention anything about the Wen family, but first strengthened the defense line of Fengtai Pass.After the efforts of two generations of Emperor Xianzong and Emperor Shenzong, the Dayan Dynasty regained its vitality.

In the reign of Yongjia, Changning Wang Jiqing took back Henan and completely recovered Shuozhou. From then on, Fengtai Pass was no longer the first line of defense against Tie Le.Before Fengtai Pass, including Tianyong Pass established by Emperor Xianzong, there were three lines of defense in total.

Jiang Chen told Jiang Yuan and Jun Lu that in Huo Bo's letter to the emperor, it was mentioned that the Tie Le people were killed directly in front of Fengtai Pass, and he had not received any battle report beforehand, so he was not prepared enough and lost his head. machine, and fell into the danger of being besieged by the Tiele people.

Emperor Shenyou was furious when he heard the news, and began to scold on the spot. He scolded not only Huo Bo, Marquis of Wu'an, but also the generals guarding the first three gates.

The Dayan Dynasty and Tie Le have been attacking and defending aliens for more than 100 years. Besides, being prepared for danger in times of peace, the current border guards must not be as vigilant as their predecessors.However, three defense lines were breached one after another, and the Fengtai Pass in the back didn't even know about it. This problem is a bit serious.

Is it because the Tiele people were caught off guard by an internal response, or the factional disputes caused each other to blame each other, or it was Huobo who exaggerated...

Jiang Chen's letter was too brief, and the amount of information was extremely limited. Jiang Yuan and Jun Lu simply packed up and hurried back to Yujing.

They didn't go back to the new house in the lotus, but went directly to Yong'an Palace. The Huo family and the Jiang family were originally a family.

To Jiang Yuan and Jun Lu's surprise, King Changning and Princess Anning were also in their mansion, but neither Ji Ning nor Jiang Yuan was there.

"Father, mother, uncle and aunt." Jiang Yuan asked straight to the point, "How is the situation at Fengtai Pass?"

Regardless of how angry Emperor Shenyou is now, it is not the time for him to pursue responsibility. Before the reinforcements arrived, Fengtai had to be held by Huo Bo. Not only could he not reprimand him, but he had to send someone to appease him. Wait until the situation stabilizes.

As for the generals of Tianyong and other three passes, one was killed, one was captured, and the other disappeared. People didn't know what to say.

Last year, when the Tiele delegation visited, the negotiations between the two sides on the border market broke down.Jun Lu knew in his heart that this was a sign that the God Blessed Emperor was going to attack Tie Le, and he wanted to force the Tie Le people to do it first, so that he would have a legitimate chance to send troops.

In the concept of God Blessing the Emperor, Tie Le is not a difficult opponent. They have long been scattered by Changning Wuwang and Zhaoyang Huanhou. They have been paying tribute to the Dayan Dynasty for nearly a hundred years. It is not too much effort to deal with them.

Jun Lu really wanted to say that Emperor God Bless did not understand the nomads on the grassland who lived by water.Bow horse riding and archery is part of their life, no matter how badly they are beaten, as long as the men are not dead, they will recover in 20 years.

The reason why Tie Le has surrendered to the Dayan Dynasty for so many years is that Emperor Renzong, Emperor Zhongzong, Emperor Chengzu, and Emperor Ruizong after Emperor Xingzu were all strongmen.

But since Emperor Xian ascended the throne, this situation has slowly changed. It was only because of the mutual benefits of the border market transactions that the Dayan Dynasty had grasped the economic lifeline of Tiele, and the Emperor was willing to make some concessions to Tiele. The relationship was maintained.

If the gods had blessed the emperor not to die, the Tiele people might not be rebellious during his lifetime.After all, people can live a good life without fighting and not dying. Who would rush to find death? Tiele people are not idiots, and they also have small things in their hearts.

It's just that although Jun Lu thought that the emperor's actions would cause Tie Le's backlash, he didn't expect that their actions would come so fast, so fast that people would be defenseless.

"It's very anxious. The most terrible thing is that Huo Bo is short of food and herbs." In terms of ability, Huo Bo, the Marquis of Wu'an, is definitely not as good as Huo Qingyang, who followed Emperor Zhongzong to open up Lingzhou back then. The Taiwan Customs can't hold it.

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Jiang Yuan and Jun Lu looked at each other in blank dismay, both of them saw the obvious inconceivable in each other's eyes.

Where is Fengtai Pass?An important border town, the gate of northern Xinjiang.Huo Bo's troops are stationed there all year round, and all kinds of supplies are dispatched by the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War. How can there be a shortage of key materials such as food, grass and medicinal materials? Isn't it too childish.

Jiang Yuan opened his lips slightly, but before he could open his mouth, Changning Wang Jiyu said again: "Not only the grain and medicinal materials, but also the weapons and winter clothes on the front line. There are also problems." A world of ice and snow that drips into ice.

Jun Lu was completely speechless. He had known for a long time that this once glorious dynasty was coming to an end, but he discovered today that the degree of corruption of the Dayan Dynasty still exceeded his imagination and bottom line.

"Has the emperor decided to send someone to the rescue?" It's been a long time since I've fought a war, and I have no experience from top to bottom. God bless the emperor's choice of targets is very limited, either the Dongcheng camp or the Xicheng camp, at least the experience of the exercise is enough .

Ji Yu shook his head, sighed and said: "No, Chao Shang is still arguing, the quarrel almost turned upside down, and the emperor has been silent for a long time."

This time, Jun Lu didn't even have the strength to ask questions. He even felt that Wei Ying was very lucky to be the emperor for more than 20 years in his previous life before being overthrown.

"There's nothing to be arguing about. It's either the uncle or the second prince." Could there be a better candidate? Jiang Yuan couldn't understand.

Sure enough, Jiang Yuan guessed right, the emperor hesitated again and again, and finally sent Wei Sheng to lead troops to Fengtai Pass.But what everyone couldn't understand was that there was Jun Lu's name in the list of accompanying personnel.
