Nandingzhou, the prefecture is under the jurisdiction of Mengchang, and the Huangzhou general manager, Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen is summoning civil and military officials to discuss matters. Now the military situation is urgent. Yuwen Wen, who has just arrived in Xiyang, rushed to Mengchang without stopping.

Nan Dingzhou is located on the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains, across the mountain from Guangzhou, Henan on the northern foot. Guangzhou is under the jurisdiction of the Yuzhou General Administration. While attacking Fangcheng, Shannan, the Yuzhou army also divided its troops to attack the three passes of Yiyang in Tongbai Mountain and the five passes of Dabie Mountain under the jurisdiction of the Huangzhou General Administration.

The opponent's division of troops may be just a feint attack. If you want to restrain the troops of Anzhou and Huangzhou in Shannan, you can "the virtual one is real, the real one is empty, the virtual one is real, and the virtual one is real, this is the way to use troops." If the defense fights with a mentality of dealing with the matter, he may be broken through from a certain pass in the future and the feint attack becomes the main attack.

The geographical noun from later generations describes the east-west Tongbai Mountains and Dabie Mountains, like a wall lying across Henan and Hubei. The eastern end of the wall is the jurisdiction of the Huangzhou General Administration, that is, the eastern part of Hubei, commonly known as East Hubei.

If the Henan army wants to cross this natural barrier, it must pass through one of the few mountain roads.

These mountain roads have been fixed since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. They are all built on ridges, valleys, river valleys and other natural formations. Each mountain road has a long history pass, which is not an exaggeration to describe it as "because of ancient times".

The three passes of Yiyang in the Tongbai Mountains are under the jurisdiction of the Anzhou General Administration. Yuwen Wen has now returned to his "original position", so what he has to worry about is the five passes under the jurisdiction of the Huangzhou General Administration. Because the Yuzhou army on the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains has attacked these five passes at the same time.

The so-called five gates are from west to east, including Dachengguan, Baishaguan, Huangtuguan, Mulingguan, and Yinshanguan.

Among them, Dacheng Pass is under the jurisdiction of Beijiang Prefecture, Baisha Pass and Huangtu Pass are located at the junction of Beijiang Prefecture and Nanding Prefecture; Muling Pass, also known as Muling Pass, is located in the northwest border of Nanding Prefecture, and Yinshan Pass is located in the northeast border of Nanding Prefecture.

Once any of the five levels are broken by the enemy's main force, the second line of defense is the city of Beijiang Prefecture and Nanding Prefecture.

Beijiang Prefecture, Nan Dingzhou is under the jurisdiction of the Huangzhou General Administration. It is located at the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains. Beijiang Prefecture is in the west and Nan Dingzhou is in the east. Nan Dingzhou further east is Dazai Mountain in the Dabie Mountains. It is the boundary of Yizhou, and Qizhou is south of Yizhou.

These four states form a '7' shape, all located on the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains (Qizhou is on the western foot), and are also like a wall that protects Huangzhou, located on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Among the four prefectures, except for Yizhou, which is surrounded by three sides of the Dabie Mountains, the other three prefectures are facing enemy attacks.

Qizhou to the east borders Jinzhou, the Hezhou General Administration. Now Qizhou defenders are working together with Jiangnan Jiangzhou defenders in the southeast. What Yuwen Wen needs to do is to command the five passes of defense in Beijiangzhou and Nandingzhou.

The five passes of Dabie Mountain have always been under the control of the Huangzhou Army. Since taking office, Yuwen Wen has specially allocated money, grain, manpower and material resources to repair and strengthen these five passes, and the treatment of the defenders has also been improved. Therefore, in the first few days, the defenders of the five passes withstood the enemy's sneak attacks.

At the beginning, the enemy's troops were actually not very strong, but as time passed, the enemy troops attacking the five passes had a tendency to increase their troops. Just when Yuwen Wen was in charge of the overall situation in Anlu, Baisha Pass, which was under the jurisdiction of Beijiang Prefecture, was captured by the enemy.

Although reinforcements arrived quickly and repelled the enemy, and used the terrain to build a camp, erecting three wooden fences as temporary passes, this incident sounded the alarm for Yuwen Wen.

Among the five attacks from the opponent's five routes of attack, I'm afraid there is really a main attack!

The truth is true, true, false, if the enemy's army is composed of only Yuzhou's military plan, then the opponent's main merit direction is of course Fangcheng in the northeast of Jingzhou, and there will not be too many troops to attack the Five Passes, but if there are other troops among these troops, it will be different.

The northern foot of the Dabie Mountains is Guangzhou, and to the north is the boundary of the Bozhou General Administration Office, and to the northeast is the boundary of the Yangzhou General Administration Office and the Xuzhou General Administration Office. If the marching of Jiangnan Road, which is entrenched on the northern bank of the Yangtze River, stops fighting against Chen, then the Bozhou Army, Yangzhou Army, and Xuzhou Army will really rush to Guangzhou and directly attack one of the five passes.

If the response is not done properly, it is likely that the opponent will forcibly break through. Most of the Huangzhou army's troops are in Jiangzhou. At that time, the defense line of the five levels collapses and even the troops to organize the second line of defense are not enough.

Where is the second line of defense? Beijiang Prefecture is under Lucheng Pass, and Nanding Prefecture is under Menglong.

The two cities have been prepared to stick to each other for a long time, but the city without field soldiers as foreign aid is just a stagnant pool.

If the enemy troops who crossed the Dabie Mountains really received support from Bo, Yang and even Xuzhou, their troops would be sufficient. Then some of the troops would be left to siege the city, and the rest could continue to march.

The enemy troops who bypass Lucheng Pass can attack the east border of Anzhou General Administration to the west, which is only more than a hundred miles away from Anlu; the enemy troops who bypass Menglang City can advance westward to attack Anlu, or go south along the water to attack Hengzhou in the south.

Hengzhou is the third line of defense. Once it is broken through, Huangzhou on the southeast side of Hengzhou will face the enemy's attack.

It was of great importance, so Yuwen Wen, who had just arrived in Xiyang, returned to the royal palace after the official office finished the meeting and went to Nandingzhou in a hurry to preside over the overall situation.

Yuwen Wen often said that the best defense is offense, but the premise is that he has to have soldiers in his hands and can win by fighting in the wild. This was not a problem, because the Hulin Army, which he had worked hard for eight years, was very good at fighting.

However, the main force of the Hulin Army followed him to the expedition to the Ridge and was stationed in Panyu, Guangzhou. Although he had set out to the north, he probably had not even crossed Dayu Ridge at this time. The main force of the Huangzhou Army was in Jiangzhou, and the troops left behind by the Huangzhou General Administration were scored in Qizhou. Therefore, when the troops were tight, it was difficult for a good wife to cook without rice.

There are many difficulties and are all hindered everywhere. However, the more this happens, the more you have to put the enemy invading outside the five passes. In other words, Yuwen Wen’s plan is to resist the enemy from the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable once the opponent attacks in.

Such a case of war was not missing. When Zhao State (Shi Zhao) attacked Jingxiang, a southern mountain of Jin State (Eastern Jin), and a partial army crossed the Dabie Mountains from the boundary of Guangzhou, broke through the pass and entered the current boundary of Nandingzhou.

He joined another unit and the Zhao army headed south all the way to attack the northern foot of Longtou Mountain, Xiyang, Huangzhou, and besieged the then Xiyang County and county capital Zhucheng.

Mao Bao, the governor of Yuzhou in Jin Dynasty, and Fan Jun, the prefect of Xiyang, led the soldiers and civilians to defend Zhucheng. After the city was broken, it broke south and went to Chibiji at the foot of Longtou Mountain without a ship to cross the south. Most of the soldiers of the Jin army died in battle, and Mao Bao drowned when crossing the river.

However, in folk stories, Mao Bao got the help of the white turtle he released back then and crossed the river safely to Wuchang on the south bank. This incident gradually evolved into the legend of the white turtle crossing the river.

The city of Zhu was captured, and the Zhao army massacred the city and seriously damaged the city. The Jin army later recovered Jiangbei and used a small town on the eastern foot of Longtou Mountain as the new capital of Xiyang County, which was later Xiyang City.

Yuwen Wen didn't want the old story that happened more than two hundred years ago to repeat itself. He became the male protagonist of the "New White Turtle Crossing the River". He evolved into a series of heroic legends with the "Turtle Lady Bai Suzhen", so he had to prepare for the future and start before the enemy.

"The loss of Baisha Pass may be just an accident. Maybe the enemy attacking the fifth pass is really just a feint attack on the side troops, but I hope the enemy will be lenient, so I will never take it lightly!"
