?The next day, Yuwen Wen was "nostalgic" at the head of Xiangguo City. He entered the palace early in the morning to talk to the little emperor. After leaving the palace, he switched to the travel mode and was everywhere in this famous city...lā

An official accompanied him to explain the history of Xiangguo to him, which played a similar role as a tour guide. However, this tour guide gave his explanations with great sincerity and did not dare to take Yuwen Wen to any black shop to spend.

Xiangguo City has a long history. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, Ji Jian, the fourth son of Duke of Zhou, was granted the title of the State of Punishment. During the Warring States Period, it was renamed Xindu. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, converted Xindu to Xiangguo and was capitalized by King Zhang Er of Zhao.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Shi Le, a Jie native who was a slave, unified the north, called himself the Great Shanyu and King Zhao, and established his capital in Xiangguo, and was known in history as Later Zhao.

Later Zhao Jianguo used Xiangguo as the capital and established the world as the 24 counties in the three prefectures and 24 counties. Shile built Xiangguo City, and the city walls were Woniu, so it was called Woniu City. It was called Jianping City by its dynasty. There were four sub-cities around Jianping City.

Shile lures the spring water around the city, with four gates in the city, and Beiyuan is used as the city's city. Xiangguo City took eighteen years to complete. Shile built Jiande Palace in the city, which was extremely luxurious.

At that time, the capital of the Later Zhao Dynasty had a population of 700,000, which was the center of politics, economy and culture in the north. Its popularity lasted for a while to overwhelm Yecheng in the south.

After Shi Le died, his nephew Shi Hu was strong and soon abolished Shi Le's son Shi Hong took over the power of the court. He built the Guan Provincial Platform (also known as Guan Que Platform) in Xiangguo City and built the Taiwu Palace.

The foundation of Taiwu Palace is two or eight feet high, seventy-five steps east and west, made of colorful stones, with a secret room below, and five hundred guards are placed inside. Lacquer tiles, gold tiles, silver pillars, bead curtains, and jade walls are all made of gold, silver and jade beads, and the ultimate skill is used.

The Nine Halls of Lingfengtai were built in the palace, and tens of thousands of beauties were selected to fill it. In the west of the Taiwu Palace, Kunhua Hall was built, and large windows were opened on the pavilion, all of which were covered with crimson tulle. Later, Shi Hu moved the capital to Yecheng, and Xiangguo began to decline, but the foundation was still there, so it still seemed to have momentum now.

Shi Hu is brave and good at fighting but extremely cruel. His sons have similar personalities to him. Shi Hu favors his second son Shi Xuan, and Prince Shi Tao knows that something is wrong, first takes action to kill his younger brother, and then be tortured by his angry father.

Soon after Shi Hu died of illness, his new crown prince Shi Shi could not control the situation at all. The royal family attacked each other. After a bloody storm, Shi Hu raised his grandson Shi Min to seize power.

The Qihuo Army's bloodline was restored to its surname and established the Wei Kingdom, which was called Ran Min, the Heavenly King of Wudao, which later generations.

"Kill Hu Ling..." Yuwen Wen sighed, looking at the sky south, which was the direction of Yecheng and the place where the order was issued.

......

At Tumen Pass, the "Zhou" flag that was originally floating above the pass fell to the ground. Looking up, there were corpses in the pass, all in black and yellow clothes, most of which were dead in battle wearing black military uniforms.

The Zhou army's military uniform was black, while the Sui army was wearing yellow military uniforms. Tumen Pass, which was once a black ocean, has now been flooded by yellow tides, but several black dots have flowed upstream and come to a certain place on the city tower.

"Maintain, the person is brought here."

A Sui general turned his head when he heard this, but he was the marching chief, Yang Su, the Duke of Qinghe County. He looked at the Zhou army generals in black uniforms in front of him and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, you have made great contributions. Yang should report to Your Majesty one by one."

"General Manager Yang, Tumen Pass has been cut off. I wonder what else can we do to serve?"

"According to the prior agreement, please bring your family to Bingzhou. The next thing will be handled by our army."

Seeing a few people leaving, Yang Su turned to look at the northeast, where there was a gap between the two mountains, which was the eastern exit of Jingxing. From then on, the army rushed out and entered the Hebei boundary east of the Taihang Mountains, which was to enter the border of Zhou.

"If the order is sent, the cavalry will pass first, and the other units will enter the pass in turn, and the transportation of supplies, grain and grass will be accelerated!"

After passing the orders one by one, Yang Su, as the marching chief, was about to launch a battle against Zhou as planned. It was only the first step to advance eastward along Jingxing to break through Taihang Mountain. Next, he would do something big.

Last June, Zhou State and the Turks launched an attack on Sui State at the same time. The situation was in danger when they were attacked from both sides. For a moment, the people of Sui State were panicked, but as the war progressed, the situation finally opened.

On the eastern front, the Sui army voluntarily gave up Hezhou and Wuzhou General Administration Office, and reduced its troops to defend Luozhou and Yuzhou two general administration offices. Although some territory was lost, the main force of the defense line was still shrinking, as if he had retracted his fists and was ready to go.

On the northwest line, the Turkic army that was heading south was repelled. The Sui army pursued and rushed into the grassland. The Turkic Khans were intrigued and were unable to go in one place. Now they have been defeated.

The Sui army, which was chasing the main force of the Turks on the grassland, had already won a great victory. Sha Boluo Khan was seriously injured and could no longer suppress the ambitions of other Khans. It can be seen that in the future, the Turks will experience civil strife.

In this way, the Sui Kingdom would be out of the constraints from the northwest and could take out his hands to deal with the Zhou Kingdom in the east.

According to common sense, after more than a year of war, the Sui State should cultivate and nourish and replenish, and hoard food and grass to wait for another battle next year. Therefore, the Zhou State should think so, and the Sui State would be surprised.

The army that attacked the Turks returned victoriously and set out again after several months of renovation. This time, the Sui army took the initiative to attack, and the flags pointed to the Hebei boundary of the Zhou Kingdom.

A large army went north from Shuozhou, and went eastward to the east from Jundu Xing of Taihang, directly attacked the Youzhou General Administration of Zhou State, and advanced east from Puyin Xing of Taihang, and attacked the Youzhou General Administration of Zhou sideways.

Another way forward from Jingxing to attack Mingzhou, cut off the connection between Youzhou and Xiangzhou, and then defended the city and blocked reinforcements from Jizhou and Xiangzhou.

Jingxingkou is about 500 miles away from Yecheng, the capital of Zhou. If the Sui army could raid Yecheng, it would definitely shake Zhou. However, the chance of success was too low, because Zhou troops gathered near Yecheng, and it would not be able to be captured by a surprise attack.

The nearest route to attack Yecheng was Fukou Pass, but the Zhou army was well-deployed here and there was no possibility of breaking through. The Sui State successfully bought the deputy general of the Tumen Pass defender. There was a great chance of breaking the pass, but it was indeed not sure.

In view of this, Jingxing was used as the direction of the partial army's attack, and the flags pointed to Zhending City connecting Youzhou and Xiangzhou to support the main force's attack on Youzhou.

The attack on Youzhou is to support a larger offensive direction.

The war was progressing smoothly. The elite soldiers sent by Yang Su crossed mountains and ridges and bypassed Tumen Pass. With the help of the inside, they first attacked the beacon tower closest to Tumen Pass, and then pretended to be Zhou's army to touch Tumen Pass.

The deputy general of Tumen Pass opened the door, and the elite Sui army immediately entered the pass. After a bloody battle, the main force of the Sui army immediately entered the pass. Yang Su ordered the cavalry to rest for a while and pretended to be the Zhou army to earn Zhending City.
