The heavens begin from practicing swords in the palace

A year later, the new Sui army finally came to Tongguan.

It took Zhao Qiu a year to wipe out the surrounding Guanlong Group.

Even if there are defectors, they will never be allowed to be wiped out both mentally and physically.

There is no other way. If a big landlord from the Guanlong Group votes, you have recruited others.

Then, you are too embarrassed to take other people's land and wealth.

In the New Sui Dynasty, countless poor and lower-middle peasants obtained land and food by hunting down local tyrants and dividing their fields.

These people were extremely supportive of the New Sui, and sent their young men to join the New Sui army.

Of course, part of the fields of the Guanlong Group also fell into the hands of the generals and soldiers of the New Sui Army.

Many years later, these people, or their descendants, will form a new aristocracy. From then on, the elite will solidify, become stubborn, and eventually become "blood-sucking insects" until the court cannot continue.

In this way, the periodic law will go round and round, and go round and round...

However, these things have long been out of Zhao Qiu's scope of consideration.

After he came to this world, his goal and purpose was to defeat that "Ba Fenghan" who was also a reincarnation.

After defeating "Ba Fenghan", Zhao Qiu could gain more authority.

"The same players in the game "Reincarnation 2" originally came from the same root, so why rush each other? Hehe...

Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land should have had three drinks, but unfortunately, because of the system, either you die or I live! "

Looking at Tongguan in front of him, Zhao Qiu sighed with emotion.

Tongguan is located at the crossing of the Yellow River, at the junction of Shanxi, Shanxi, and Henan. It is the junction of the post road from Chang'an to Luoyang, and it is the key to entering and exiting the Three Qin Dynasty.

Since the end of the Han Dynasty, no matter entering the Central Plains from the east, or entering the Guanzhong or the Western Regions from the west, Tongguan has always been a must pass, and it is also an important pass for defense.

This place has always been a battleground for military strategists, known as "the first danger in the country", "the throat of four towns", and "one hundred and two major passes".

The situation in Tongguan is very dangerous. There are Qinling Mountains in the south, Forbidden Valley in the southeast, and Twelve City in the south of the valley.There are Wei and Luochuan in the north, and the Yellow River embraces the pass, and Huayue is near the west.Surrounded by mountains, peaks and peaks, deep valleys and cliffs, high mountains and narrow roads, there is a narrow trail in the middle, which can only accommodate one car and one horse.

Zhao Qiu muttered to himself: "This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack!"

But once breached, Chang'an is no longer in danger.

Zhao Qiu ordered 20 new Sui troops to set up camp in front of Tongguan.

Tongguan City is high and steep, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

One person guards the gate, and ten thousand husbands cannot open it.

Zhao Qiu knew the routines of defending the city. In his reincarnation experience, the number of times of defending the city was not too small.

But if you understand it, it is easy to defend the city, but it is difficult to break the city. It is also difficult for him to attack Tongguan with his army.

The person stationed at Tongguan is Li Shimin.

This person is good at attacking and defending, and he is known as the best city defender in this world.

This is exactly where Zhao Qiu has a headache. If he wants to break through the city, he has only two choices.

First, with enough artillery, facing the fortified city, the only way is to bombard it with artillery fire. After trampling the city, the army poured in.

Second, there were rebels in the city who were willing to surrender. Taking advantage of the unprepared defenders, they opened the city gates to welcome the Sui army into the city.

Gu Yi's current Zhao Qiu is approaching the city.

At this critical moment, the trend of the New Sui Dynasty unifying the north and the south has gradually taken shape.

This has reached the final step. As long as Tongguan is breached, Li Tang will definitely be destroyed.

Li Tang's lieutenant generals also have their own plans.

People who don't do it for themselves will be punished by heaven and earth.

Even the Guanlong Group, which Zhao Qiu has been attacking all the time, is not good, and some of them are willing to vote.

After all, if Tongguan is broken, the Guanlong Group will have no chance to gain a foothold.

Perhaps, the surrender has made great contributions, and there is only a glimmer of life.

The Guanlong Group has been rampant in this world for more than a hundred years and is deeply rooted.

If the new Sui Dynasty unified the north and the south, the Guanlong Group would have no place to stand.

In the tent, Zhao Qiu glanced at the seven or eight letters on the table, and couldn't help but smile.

Perhaps, at this moment, the Li family father and son no longer cared about internal strife, and returned to fatherly kindness and filial piety, brotherly love, and sincere unity with the outside world.

However, their civil and military ministers may not think so.

After all, people are selfish, and good birds choose trees to live in.

In this Tongguan, within a few days, there were family members, ministers and generals who sent messengers, took advantage of the darkness of night, hung a rope and went out of the city to deliver a letter of surrender to Zhao Qiu.

Zhao Qiu smiled wryly, and said to himself: "Even the Dugu family has written a letter of surrender! Hehe..."

That letter was actually written by You Chuhong himself.

The Dugu family and the Yang family are relatives after all.

"It's just that when Emperor Sui Yang was prodigal, his Dugu family...hehe..."

Zhao Qiu's mouth showed a slight smile.

"Pass down the order! Tomorrow the cannons will bombard the city!"

Zhao Qiu shouted coldly.

"Yes!"

Immediately, someone went out to spread the word.

The time in this world is earlier, and the power of cannons is far less than that of later generations.

Even though, Zhao Qiu wrote the casting method of the cannon in the book.

But the technology of the whole world is far behind.

Perhaps, in 20 years, there will be progress.

But Zhao Qiu's time is no longer enough.
