Just like the current season Ma Guiyuan is in, except that Ma Guiyuan came from the east and west to try to get flesh from the unification of China for his "Muslim Kingdom". However, Huo Qubing, the general of the Han Mule Cavalry of the Han Dynasty, had the great ideal of unifying the world for the Han Dynasty. In the spring of the second year of Yuanshou of Emperor Wu of Han, he led a large army from the east and west to embark on his journey to the west to expedition the Huns.

After completing the feat of attacking the Huns and returning triumphantly, Huo Qubing sent a large concierge officer in the army, also called the Dianke Li Xi in the early Han Dynasty, and built the ancient castle west of the castle on the south bank of the Yellow River. Since then, the Han Dynasty has added Jincheng County.

The so-called "Jincheng" is the city of the Han Dynasty "as solid as gold and indestructible."

At the same time, in order to ensure smooth transportation between the north and south sides of the Yellow River, Huo Qubing established Jincheng Ferry at the Yellow River Ferry where the army traveled.

Since most of the transportation in ancient times used the way of walking along river valleys, the vital importance of the ferry was self-evident.

The Jincheng Duke set up by Huo Qubing is such an iron lock that can control the Yellow River Ferry and a pass.

After crossing the Yellow River through Jincheng Crossing, you can go to the northwest to Yongcheng out of the Hexi Corridor and go straight to the Western Regions. In the southwest, you can go up the ** and enter the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

If the foreign enemy comes south through this and crosses the Nanshan Mountain, they can reach Hezhou and the autumn road, which directly threatens the hinterland of Guanzhong.

Therefore, Jincheng Ferry in Jincheng is called the four famous crossings on the Yellow River, along with Fengling Ferry in Miaocheng, Junzi Ferry in Hetao, and Yunyinkou in Jingyuan. It is completely different from the "guards" used to control fortresses such as "Jiayuguan" and "Shanhaiguan", the "Jincheng Pass" set up by Huo Qubing is to be able to firmly control the "guards" or "bridgehead" at a ferry on the Yellow River.

However, as the river channels here continue to change, the location of "Jincheng Pass" is also undergoing different changes.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Jinchengdu was moved to the north bank of the Yellow River, about two miles west of the present Zhenyuan Bridge, from the west side of Tashan.

In the 18th year of Kaihuang of Emperor Wen of Sui, the Jincheng Duguan City at the foot of Baita Mountain began to be built again.

"The ancient garrison is based on the dangerous and dangerous buildings, and the high buildings are filled with five cold roads. The mountain roots are covered with post roads. The river water is flooded with the city walls."

In this poem by Fengsan, a famous frontier poet from the Tianbao period of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, vividly depicts the majesty and dangers of Jincheng Pass back then.

However, during the reign of Emperor Daizong of Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion, the foreign enemy Tubo had taken advantage of the internal turmoil of the Tang Dynasty and occupied Longyou. The Jincheng Pass, which was originally used to block the nomadic peoples from the Western Regions, lost their due role and was gradually abandoned.

In the fourth year of Yuanfeng in the Northern Song Dynasty, General Li Xian led his troops north, defeated the Xixia army in one fell swoop and recovered Lanzhou. In the seventh year of Yuanfeng, Jincheng Pass was rebuilt again. The mighty Jincheng Pass surrounded the Yellow River Ferry behind him, and formed an overall solid defense system with the already expanded Lanzhou City. It resisted the attack of the Xixia Dangxiang people.

Entering the Ming Dynasty, Jincheng Pass was rebuilt three times again.

During the Hongwu period, when Yang Lian, the commander of Lanzhou Guard, built the Zhenyuan Floating Bridge, he also rebuilt Jincheng Pass on the north bank of Zhenyuan Bridge to protect the Floating Bridge and block the invasion of Mongolian target-hanging people.

The Guancheng of Jincheng Pass is built on Baita Mountain, which is two hundred feet long from east to west, and a city gate is built at each end. Not only is there a garrison building built on the gate of Guancheng, but a fortress is also set up.

On the east side of Jincheng Pass, Fenglin Pass, which was later completed one after another, and Yulei Pass, which guarded the legend of Baimalang, who once crossed the river from here when Tang Monk went to the scriptures, supported each other and jointly built a solid defense system.

Because of the Yellow River and Jincheng Pass, Lanzhou has become a major military center in the northwest.

"The clouds and thunder are natural chasm, and the land is dangerous. The famous vassal states have been famous since ancient times. The embroidery of the camps and trunks are mixed, and the mountain shapes are gathered, and the throats are covered with 2 Qinguans."

As the saying goes, "Live on the rock and serve the Xiongguan with a hundred feet, and the throat of the Western Regions is here."

Some people say that if the dangerous Jincheng Pass is held, the ethnic minorities west and north of the Yellow River can be discouraged. In other words, Jincheng Pass was once a natural boundary that divided the agricultural civilization of the Central Plains and the nomadic civilization of the Western Regions.

On the east of Jincheng Pass, a huge empire once sharpened its swords. On the west of it, the idle nomadic civilization once constantly hidden murderous intent.

Although this statement is not very appropriate to the present, after all, the "Holy Army" cannot represent nomadic civilization. Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is huge, it is definitely not an empire. But if you think about it carefully, it is a bit reliable.

On the east of Jincheng Pass, there is indeed a huge regime that is sharpening its swords.

And to the west of Jincheng Pass, there are indeed a group of guys who don’t know the sky and the earth are hiding murderous intent.

"Go and tell Tugabu that my Ma Guiyuan has arrived and asked them to open and close the door quickly. I'm still in a hurry to cross the river."

Ma Guiyuan shook the whip in his hand, and gave the order proudly while giving the order. While taking the handed-in-one white cloth towel from his close guard, he once again wiped his face, which was not dirty at all.

There is no way. Although Ma Guiyuan's mouth is dirty, he pays more attention to his appearance. Especially at the moment of historical significance, he is even more reluctant to be a little careless.

And at this critical moment, the situation suddenly changed.

Ma Guiyuan's luck today is really not very good.

Because before his voice had finished, a huge yellow "pillar" suddenly emerged from the western foot of Baita Mountain, along the foot of Baita Mountain, roaring with horror, while sweeping wildly from west to east.

tornado!

What a terrifying tornado, wherever they go, the sky is dark, people shouted and horses neighed, and the messy flags and white turbans were flying all over the sky."

For Ma Guiyuan, a sudden ransack of a tornado was only a small part of his bad luck. To put it bluntly, this was the beginning of a nightmare he was about to embark on.

The tornado ran away quickly, but Guandan in Jincheng Pass was not driven by it.

, If I don’t open the city, I will turn against you!

It was not until Ma Guiyuan got angry and started shouting and scolding that the people at Jinchengguan threw him a letter from above from Tujiabu.

In his letter, Tugabu first said a series of apologies, and then claimed that the military and civilians in the city were still very emotionally unacceptable to the arrival of the "Holy Army" brothers led by General Ma. If the military and civilians in the city were too urgent, they might have a large-scale civilian change. Therefore, he asked General Ma not to be impatient. Xiao happened to take this opportunity to arrange for his brothers of the "Holy Army" to take a break on the spot. He would do a good job in the ideological work of the military and civilians in the city in the shortest possible time, so that everyone would happily welcome the arrival of their "Holy Army" friends...

, Tugabu, you old guy, aren't this a joke?

Ma Guiyuan was in a fit of fire.
