Could it be that most of the defenders were bachelors?

Liang Jing said: "Guang means bright, stick means straight. Guang stick means bright and upright."

Although the land of Shu is closed, it has given birth to a unique culture. When eating, I like strong flavors. When playing, I like to play heartily. When necessary, men will bow to their wives. When the mountains and rivers are broken, facing powerful enemies, Shu

A local man will die without hesitation.

The emperor nodded, "Remember Liang Jing's meritorious service."

This is a major discovery that will have a huge impact on subsequent conquests.

But everyone suddenly discovered something embarrassing.

Zhao Yong led his army to attack Nanzun City and delayed, and the credit was lost.

In other words, the first victory in this battle turned out to be Liang Jing's.

grass!

The generals of the Northern Xinjiang Department felt their faces getting hot.

Liang Jing saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Following up, I hope you can make new achievements again!" The emperor suddenly thought of the word "roosters and dogs and thieves" and felt that people like Liang Jing were not without merit.

"Your Majesty, when will we march?" Pei Jian asked.

After defeating Nanzun City, the Northern Xinjiang Army now reached Yangling Pass.

Yangling Pass is built on the mountain, and the terrain is dangerous. It is truly easy to defend but difficult to attack. In history, Shu was attacked many times, but it was always possible to rely on Yangling Pass or the difficulties of the Shu Road to intercept the enemy.

Relying on these two natural dangers, life or death in the outside world has nothing to do with the Shu people. They can still comfortably drink tea, listen to books, and set up the Dragon Gate Formation in the teahouse.

If we attack by force, it goes without saying that the defenders can turn Yangling Pass into a wall of sighs, leaving the opponent helpless.

But only by conquering Yangling Pass can the army be qualified to set foot on the Shu Road.

This start is too difficult!

The emperor said: "Tomorrow, the army will set out."

"yes!"

…

After Zhao Yong and Lan Jian destroyed Nanzun City, they both went to court to plead guilty.

It's one thing to plead guilty, but you can't lose your job. Zhao Yongling scouts investigated the situation at Yangling Pass, and the news they got was not optimistic.

After discovering the Chang'an army in front of Nanzun City, they immediately passed the news to Yangling Pass. Since then, the gate of Yangling Pass has never been opened again.

Moreover, the city was heavily guarded.

"How to attack Yangling Pass must have nothing to do with our department."

Zhao Yong made mistakes in this battle, which is a bit embarrassing.

Lan Jian smiled bitterly, "It's all my fault."

Moreover, because of his fault, Zhao Yong, who has a promising future, will have sequelae in the future. For example, will Zhao Yong regret himself in the future?

At this moment, he remembered how wise his brother Suoyun's warning on the road was. Unfortunately, it was too late to take the medicine for regret.

Zhao Yong said calmly: "I have also committed the crime of underestimating the enemy. You and I each bear our own responsibilities."

I won't argue with you about this.

Lan Jian was overjoyed. He just wanted to say a few nice words, and even wanted to make friends...

"Your Majesty has sent an envoy."

The two of them quickly got up and went out.

The messenger turned out to be Zhang Xu.

The emperor actually sent the Qiu Long Guard around him as an envoy, which shows that he attaches great importance to it.

The two of them were shocked.

"His Majesty was very angry when he heard the battle report."

Zhang Xu said with a cold face, "Zhao Yong is incompetent!"

"Yes! I am incompetent!" Zhao Yong knelt down.

"Twenty punishments with a stick, and you will be punished with meritorious deeds!"

Zhao Yong lowered his head and said, "I accept the blame!"

Lan Jian's body trembled...Twenty sticks in the army are not light. Zhao Yong's twenty sticks, how many should I have?

Thirty or forty?

"Lan Jian, the stick will be punished ten times!"

Lan Jian looked at Zhang Xu in disbelief!

"Execution!"

Zhang Xu also has another mission, which is to imprison people.

The two were tied to a bench, with two sergeants in charge.

"Hit!" Zhang Xu shouted fiercely.

Snap!

Snap!

Lan Jian's ten sticks ended quickly, and he stood up on his own without the need for anyone to hold him up.

He looked at Zhao Yong who was still being tortured with envious eyes.

At this moment, he wished he was the one lying there.

After twenty strokes, Zhao Yong stood up and knelt down.

"Thank you, my lord!"

On the third day, the army arrived.

Zhao Yong and Lan Jian were waiting outside the city gate.

The emperor pointed his whip at Zhao Yong on horseback, "Did my slap in the face make you sober?"

Zhao Yong knelt down and said, "No matter who the death camp belongs to, since I am the commander in chief of this battle, I should coordinate the overall situation, and should not let the guest troops slack off out of politeness... Thank you, Your Majesty, for your teaching!"
