Tongguan is south of the Qinling Mountains, there is a big river in the north, Huashan in the west, and the dangerous peak in the east.

The valley is deep and precipitous, and there is a sheep intestine trail in the middle, which only allows one car and one ride.

After this trail coils for dozens of miles between the deep cliffs, it is another small pass on the side of the big river, Hangu Pass.

Out of Guguan, it is Qingzhou.

Kneeling at his feet the surrendered Hangu Pass guard, Qin Mohan stood on the wall of Hangu Pass and looked at the plain in the distance.

"General." Feng Wu tapped a few times from below, then rushed up and said, "The spies have left." ”

Qin Mohan nodded, turned around and walked down the city tower.

"General." The general of Hanya shouted.

Qin Mohan stood still and looked back at him.

Chu ** system, only the border army Beijing army and government soldiers, Tongguan is guarded by the army of Qinzhou, but Hangu Pass is the same as Yanmen Pass, which belongs to the Jinggi camp.

Although Hangu Pass is small, the grade of the guards of the first pass is not low, and it guards the key passes, and there is a lot of oil and water, and it is generally sent here by confidants.

But the army on his side had just left the gate, and he had just come down from the peaks on both sides of the city wall with the secret guards, and this man had already opened the gate.

"The last general's two sons are in the Praetorian Guard." The general of Hangu Guan lowered his head and said: "The last general is incompetent, but the two sons are Wu Yong, who entered the Praetorian Guard as a martial champion, and won the appreciation of Lord Zhang, and was promoted to the captain of the seventh grade, and his subordinates brought hundreds of people, the day before yesterday, the family came to report, saying that the two sons escorted the coffin of the first emperor to the imperial tomb, but they encountered a landslide in heavy rain and were buried in the valley. ”

Qin Mohan frowned slightly.

The matter of the imperial tomb was obviously Chu Zheng who wanted to take the opportunity to kill people, and if they rushed there immediately, they might be able to rescue some people.

However, neither he nor Qin Qi thought about it at all, but completely agreed with Yuan Zisu's proposal.

He didn't feel that his choice was wrong, because, even if he rushed at that time, there was a high chance that he wouldn't be able to catch up, and even if he did, there were only three of them, and there were outsiders, if they directly encountered worms or adults, not to mention the danger, for the sake of Gu Xinyue, they would kill those people.

The result is still the same.

"General." The Hangu guard raised his head, looked at the trace of pity that flashed on Qin Mohan's face, and said, "Actually, no, my son, he didn't die in the valley at all. ”

Without waiting for Qin Mohan to speak, the Hangu guard said with a sad and angry face: "Yesterday, one of my son's subordinates escaped, he said, those Praetorian Guards who claimed to be buried in the valley did not die in the valley at all, but, but the new emperor, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, my two sons were in the barracks at the time, the new emperor rewarded the palace with wine and meat, saying that it was a reward for them, my son They were also full of joy and thanks, let the brothers who were not on duty drink and eat meat together, that subordinate, who was standing guard at the time, because he wanted to steal a little, But I was afraid that my son would see it, so I secretly hid aside, wanting to wait for everyone to get drunk, and then go and eat secretly, and then ......"

Choked up, the guard of Hangu put his hand on the ground, and said: "He saw that those who had drunk the wine, after two quarters of an hour, were rolling on the ground, they wailed, screamed in pain, and then, some of them bled to death, but most of the people stood up, they seemed to have completely changed into a person, and after standing up, they automatically gathered next to them, at that time, my two sons did not drink, they went to inspect the barracks, and when they came back, they happened to see this situation, so they wanted to catch the palace people who brought wine, but, The soldiers who stood up rushed towards my son, and they, they, took my son, my two sons, and ...... like that."

Tears flowed in his eyes, and the guard of Hangu said: "The subordinate said that those soldiers who stood up again have become extremely powerful, not only strength, agility, but also cooperation, all of which have become extremely powerful, and my two sons were afraid that they were their own soldiers at first, and they did not make a ruthless move, so they hesitated for a while, and then they were hacked to death with a knife." ”

"After they hacked my son to death, they dug a pit and buried the dead soldiers, saying that they had died in the imperial tomb, and my son's men came to report to me after hiding for three days before they thought of leaving the capital." The general of Hangu Guan wiped a handful of tears and said: "General, in the past, we were blind and blind, but such a wicked person and such an act, although the last general is incompetent, he wants to be the vanguard, enter the capital, and kill the evil king!" ”

Qin Mohan sighed lightly, helped him up, and said, "I can understand the old general's heart, it's just that your son's subordinates also said that the other party is no longer an ordinary person, and you are not an opponent." ”

The guard of Hangu smiled sadly and said, "So what? No matter what, we can't let those guys take over our capital. ”

"Don't worry, I'm waiting to enter the customs just to prevent this kind of thing from happening." Qin Mohan patted him on the back and said, "If the old general has relatives and friends, tell the truth about this matter." ”

The Hangu guard was stunned for a moment, and then nodded violently and said, "The last general knows." ”

He has been in the army for many years, and he has a lot of relatives and friends, and he has to give those people a wake-up call, whether it is for public or private purposes.

Judging from the words of his son's subordinates, the Beijing army is afraid that they have all suffered poison, but there are still some garrisons around the capital.

For example, Qingzhou Mansion soldiers!

Bowing to Qin Mohan, the Hangu Pass guard said: "The last general will go to Qingzhou and take the first step." ”

Qin Mohan nodded.

The Hanya guard turned around and ran under the city wall, shouting at his men who knelt under the wall in surrender as he ran.

When he turned over and got on his horse, he had already ordered a few people.

Outside the Hangu Pass, there are several wide official roads, some leading to Qingzhou and some leading to Jingzhou.

With the shouts of the guards, several groups of men and horses ran in different directions.

"General." Feng Wu called out worriedly.

Just trust them like that? Maybe they took the opportunity to run for their lives to report the news?

Qin Mohan smiled faintly and said, "Even if you report the news, what." ”

Even the surrounding government soldiers came, and it was not enough for him to charge a few times.

After trading with the Rouran people for four years, there are now more than 200,000 cavalry teams of the Qin family army with one person and two horses.

Whether it is the government soldiers or the Beijing army, they are basically infantry.

The cavalry was already weak, not to mention, it was his Qin family's army.

He didn't look at those soldiers at all.

Qin Mohan stepped on the city stomp and looked in the direction of the capital.

What he cared about was the bugs.

If what the guard general said is true, that is, Chu Zheng in the Praetorian Guard attacked in the Mid-Autumn Festival, then what about the Gyeonggi battalion?

Most of them......

There were 50,000 Janissaries and 150,000 in the Gyeonggi Battalion.

If it's the majority, then it's at least 100,000.

Moreover, there are also people from the Five Cities Terracotta Division.

"Pass the order, speed up!" Qin Mohan straightened up and said.

The order went on one after another.

After the red trickle rushed out of Hangu Pass, it began to gather in the run.

Qin Mohan jumped down from the city wall, landed directly on horseback, and rode first, rushing to the forefront of the team.
