"Maocai, how many soldiers do you have over there?" After Lu Bu left, Zhang Hao looked at Xu Rong again and asked.

"My lord, there are now more than 18,000 sergeants on my side, all of whom are good fighters." Xu Rong said respectfully.

"I don't know if these soldiers are under Maocai's control."

"These soldiers are all the original Luoyang garrison, and they have always been led by me, so they can be trusted, but they are ......" Xu Rong said with a long voice and looked at Zhang Hao.

"There's something wrong with that, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Zhang Hao saw Xu Rong's appearance and knew that things might not be so simple, so he said lightly.

"It's just that the deputy two officers around the middle-level officers were all selected and sent by Dong Zhuo in the Xiliang Army, and I don't worry about those officers, but I don't know if any of the soldiers below have been bribed." Xu Rong said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, with Dong Zhuo's current marching speed, it will take some time to reach Qin Pass, take advantage of this time, your side will thoroughly investigate the sergeants of the department, and I will send people to blend in with the people." Zhang Hao smiled slightly and shook his head and said.

"Qin Guan? Didn't you say that you would block the enemy at Hangu Pass? Where is Qin Guan? Zhang Fei and the others were all born in Kanto, and they didn't know much about the situation in the Guan, so they looked at Zhang Hao curiously.

"That's right, Hangu Pass is not one, but two, one was built by the pre-Qin period, and the other was built by the Han Dynasty, so we called the Qin Pass in the pre-Qin period, and the Han Pass in the Han period, as for why I built two of them, I don't know." Hua Xiong, who is a native of Xiliang, explained to everyone.

"If you talk about it, it is more dangerous to Qinguan, Qinguan is in the middle of the canyon, both sides are full of lofty mountains, and the road before and after can only pass through a carriage, so there is a name for a husband to pass."

"After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the world was unified, and this pass was not so important, but it became the key to dividing the inside and outside of the pass, until the time of Emperor Wu."

"At that time, there was a Loutai general Yang Fu, he was a native of Xin'an County, Henan, and Xin'an County was still outside the customs at that time, so he was an outsider."

"Once he pacified the Nanyue Kingdom and made great contributions, but he did not accept the reward, he made a request to Emperor Wu at that time, and wanted to move his family to Guannai."

"But Emperor Wu did not let him move his family to Guannei, but ordered Yang Fu to fund his own funds to build a new Hangu Pass east of Xin'an County, which is the Hangu Pass you see now."

"In the past, Hangu Pass was built next to Hongnong County, which became the seat of the entire Hongnong County, and was abandoned, but it is not a problem for us to rely on Qinguan to block the pursuing soldiers for some time." Zhang Hao explained.

"Lord, then I'll go back and investigate first." Xu Rong got up and said.

"Be sure to clean it up, once the news leaks, it will inevitably affect our plans, and tomorrow you send someone trustworthy to send some of your armor over." Zhang Hao nodded and said.

"Don't worry, my lord." Xu Rong said and turned to leave.

After resting for one night, early the next morning, Zhang Hao did not rush to chase Dong Zhuo's team, but sent someone to collect the people's clothes.

The clothes of these people were not difficult to obtain, Dong Zhuo's marching team walked by, and there were corpses of people everywhere on both sides of the road, some of these corpses were covered with scaly wounds, obviously tortured to death, and some of them were fatally killed by a knife.

There are also many corpses without wounds, basically starved to death, and the most unbearable thing is the disheveled corpses of women, you don't have to think about it to know what they went through before they died.

Zhang Hao instructed the selected soldiers to find their own clothes that fit, and sent people to collect all the corpses and burn them for burial.

Zhang Hao, who used to be a modern person, naturally didn't believe in any ghosts and gods, but he couldn't bear to watch these people expose their corpses to the wilderness after death and be eaten by wild beasts.

The most important thing is that he knows the danger in this, why most of the wars, plagues, and disasters in ancient times basically appeared at the same time.

Zhang Hao didn't know if there was an inevitable connection between natural disasters and war, but most of the plagues were related to war and natural disasters.

When a large number of corpses decompose in the wild, a large number of viruses will inevitably breed, and these viruses will inevitably cause plagues to run rampant.

When Zhang Hao's side dealt with it almost completely, the people sent by Xu Rong also sent Dong Zhuojun's military uniforms and armor over, and Zhang Hao asked some soldiers to change into Dong Zhuojun's military uniforms and mix with the people sent by Xu Rong.

Zhang Hao also put on a set, and took these people to chase Dong Zhuo's marching team with the soldiers who had changed into people's clothes, and the rest of the soldiers, under the leadership of Zhang Fei and other generals, followed Xu Rong's team from a distance, and disposed of the corpses on the road all the way.

"You, follow this team." Zhang Hao pretended to be a soldier of Dong Zhuojun, escorted a group of soldiers dressed as ordinary people, and left one person in each team in the ranks of the people.

"What's going on?" A soldier escorting civilians glanced at Zhang Hao and asked.

"Ah, our lord just found a village nearby, these are newly captured, and my lord told us to bring them to the front." Zhang Hao stepped forward and said.

"Which of your lord's subordinates?" The soldier asked.

"We are the subordinates of Lord Xu Rong, the general of Zhonglang." Zhang Hao said that Dong Zhuo's army has hundreds of thousands, including the Xiliang faction, the Luoyang faction, and the Bingzhou faction.

There are also many small groups between the various factions, and due to factors such as geography, enlistment order, and garrison location, these soldiers do not know each other at all, as long as you say that you are a subordinate of a person known by the other party, you can basically get away with it.

What's more, with mountains on both sides and large armies in front and behind, no one could have imagined that an enemy would be able to blend in the middle of the ranks.

"What did you bring to the front, I think it was for you to escort, you kid wants to be lazy, so I put these people in our team." The Dong Zhuojun soldier glanced at Zhang Hao and said.

"Our lord said that these people are all together, and if they are escorted together, I am afraid that they will come together and cause trouble, so I hereby order me to disperse them into various teams." Zhang Hao glared at the sergeant and said.

"Okay, let's leave people behind." The soldier smacked his lips.

"Wait a minute." Zhang Hao left people behind, and was just about to lead the team to continue to advance, when the soldier suddenly stopped Zhang Hao.

"What else?" Zhang Hao stopped and asked impatiently.

"I see that all the people in this team are young and middle-aged, and they are all extremely strong, and also, you said that it is a village, where are the old people, children and women?" The soldier asked, looking at the team behind Zhang Hao.
