Fortunately, Deng Qiang and the others were not thinking about setting up an ambush at all, and they didn't know if Li Xin would chase after them. Therefore, there was no ambush on the road at all. In this way, when it was close to the evening of the day, Li Xin finally led his people to the place where the earthquake pass was located.

There is no one stationed at the Great Earthquake Pass, just an empty gate! In this way, Li Xin and the others were a little surprised! After all, even if the other party evacuated, they didn't need to lose this place!

However, after Li Xin carefully examined it, he finally guessed something.

"You see, there are signs of a fire here, and the fire has been extinguished for less than two hours! It seems that Fu Qin's soldiers and horses were indeed stationed here, and if he guessed correctly, Zhou Tong must have taken Longguan. After the news reached here, Deng Qiang and the others abandoned the pass. After all, Longguan is not in their hands, and they are extremely vulnerable to our north-south attack! ”

"You have a point! With the opponent's strength, if we are determined to fight them, I'm afraid it's useless to stay here! We can go south or west directly through Longguan! To keep it or not to keep it, in fact, it's all the same! If they want to defend it, it is better to defend it in Luoyang County! Li Erhei listened, thought about it, and agreed.

"Although the enemy is not defending, but we are defending, this is a key road into the pass, if we don't defend, the enemy will come and leave if he wants! Leave 600 soldiers and horses to garrison here, and for the time being, I will let Zhou Tong take charge of these two passes! After thinking about it for a while, Li Xin made a decision.

Although the road is a little farther, especially the supply in the later period is quite difficult, but this will become an important stronghold for the Huashan Army to enter Longxi in the future, so no matter how difficult it is, it must be defended here.

Moreover, there is Longguan in the north, there is a big earthquake pass in the south, and the two passes can be horns of each other, so that a north-south direction of more than 100 miles of defense line is formed, and the west of Guanzhong is directly blocked.

For the remnants of Qin Qin, this will have a greater deterrent effect, and once they want to fight, it will definitely not be too easy. Moreover, any wind and grass can pass the beacon fire wolf smoke alarm in time, so that Guanzhong can be alerted in advance.

After inspecting the inside and outside of this pass, Li Xin left 600 soldiers to garrison on the spot, and at the same time sent people to turn back first, and mobilized grain with his own warrant to transport it to the two passes. And he and Li Erhei led 300 men and horses, along the road in the northeast direction, towards Longguan in the north, preparing to take a look first, and at the same time, also to survey this road.

After all, the ancient road is not an official post road, but a convenient road stepped out by the footmen of the mountain people, so it is basically walked between the valleys and cliffs of Longshan. In such a place, it is naturally impossible to say how good the conditions can be.

The group went around the mountains and forests, but fortunately, the road was not abandoned, so the path was still clear and easy to find, so that everyone would not get lost. However, when it was already dark, everyone had to camp on the spot first, and then hurry up until dawn.

After resting for a night, the next morning, everyone continued to hurry, and at about noon, they finally saw a gate city in the distance, which was Longguan.

This place in Longguan is not only a pass, but also a post station on Longguan Road, so compared to the simplicity of the Great Earthquake Pass, the conditions here are naturally much better. In terms of scale alone, it is more than twice as large as the Great Earthquake Pass, and the wall is more than six meters high.

The east-west Longguan Road passes directly through the city, and the place where Longguan is located is the highest place around. Therefore, if you stand on the wall and look around, you can see that the surrounding green mountains are magnificent, and a loess avenue winds towards the foot of Longshan Mountain on the east and west sides, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

Since Longguan is an important pass to enter the Guanzhong in the west, Qinzhou to the west is basically the land of the Hu people, while Guanzhong to the east is the core place of the Qin and Han dynasties. Therefore, whether it was the Qin Dynasty or the Han Dynasty, this pass was vigorously maintained.

Although it has been turbulent for a long time, the momentum of this Xiongguan is still impressed, and its extraordinary status can be seen at a glance.

Seeing a group of men and horses coming from the south, the guards in the city naturally immediately reported to Zhou. After seeing that it was Li Xin and them, Zhou Tong lifted his guard and led his lieutenants to greet them. After a night's rest, they finally recovered.

"What? Have you ever fought? As soon as they met, Li Xin saw that there was a bloody mark on Zhou Tong's face, and he couldn't help frowning.

"It's not a big battle, but when we arrived, there were more than 100 enemy troops guarding this Longguan. I arrived first with 500 cavalry, so I fought with them and took this place. No, I was accidentally wiped by the other party's cold arrow! Zhou Tong shook his head, invited everyone into the customs, and said.

"It seems that the other party has also noticed the existence of Longguan! It's just that the other party didn't know that the situation in Guanzhong was changing so quickly, so he didn't send enough people to defend this place. Otherwise, it won't be so easy for you to win this level! Hearing this, Li Xin said.

"Fortunately, we moved quickly, and not long after the arrival of two thousand men, the opposing team's brigade was killed. The other party tentatively attacked the pass, but we were all beaten back. Therefore, later they simply withdrew their troops and never came up again! Speaking of this, Zhou Tong couldn't help but feel a little happy.

"Fu Qin's problem, for the time being, stops at Longguan and Dazhen Pass, I have already decided, send you to garrison in Longguan, the 2,500 men and horses here, plus the 600 men and horses of Dazhen Pass, is the defense line guarding the central and western parts of the pass! You must be cautious, build more beacon tunnels, and if something happens, it is good to warn the police in time! Once the enemy attacks in a big way, as long as you can hold out for a day, reinforcements will arrive! ”

"Don't worry, I will defend this place and never let an enemy pass by!" Zhou Tong nodded and reassured.

Subsequently, Li Xin and a few people specially inspected the city, and at the same time expressed their condolences and encouragement to the soldiers present. In the afternoon, he and Li Erhei and others returned to Guanzhong through Longguan Road.

"After this battle, we all have to take a good rest, Guanzhong is newly determined, and many things have to be arranged well!" On the way back, Li Xin said.

"By the way, let's go through Yongxian, that Qiao Bing, how are you going to solve it?" Li Erhei suddenly thought of this, and couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Let's take a look first! If he knows each other, he naturally knows what to do, otherwise, I don't mind continuing to do what Fu Sheng didn't finish! Speaking of this, Li Xin replied lightly.

"You're right! If he wasn't honest, we wouldn't be Fu Qin's gang, and we wouldn't give him so much time to toss! Li Erhei understood, and couldn't help nodding in agreement.

The way back is much easier, this official road is naturally different, and the group finally returned to Chang'an City around the time of the day. At this time, Chang'an City, under the maintenance of Wang Meng and others, has already restored calm, although it is still far from prosperity, but at least there is no chaos.

Because he was too tired, after entering the city, Li Xin didn't have time to think about anything, so he directly found a palace in the small city that looked quite comfortable, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the ground. He didn't worry about his safety at all, but frightened his own soldiers a lot, and protected him one by one as if they were facing a great enemy.

In the afternoon of the next day, Li Xin woke up leisurely, only to feel that he had slept very comfortably. After stretching, I was ready to get up and go out to have a look.

"Hey, what's wrong with my clothes? Where's my armor? With this action, Li Xin immediately noticed that something was wrong, looked at himself in a daze, and muttered in his heart.

After looking around, I felt even more wrong, not only my armor had been removed. Moreover, at this moment, he was not sleeping on the floor, but on a large bed covered with a thin blanket.

The room was lit up, and although the windows were closed, sunlight from outside poured in through the windows. There are a lot of things in this room, and many things don't seem to be available to ordinary people.

"What is this place?" Li Xin couldn't help but wonder, stood up, took the clothes on the side and put them on, walked to the door, pushed open the door and walked out.

"General, are you awake?" As soon as the door was opened, the two soldiers standing at the door immediately saluted.

"What kind of place is this? How did I end up here? When Li Xin saw his own soldiers, he was finally relieved and asked.

"This is the Imperial Palace! Last night, when the Lord saw you lying on the floor in the main hall, he asked us to carry you here and sleep peacefully! The soldier hurriedly replied.

"The Imperial Palace?" Hearing this, Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, this should be the place where Fu Jian and the others lived before. Shaking his head, he walked outside, asking as he went, "Where is the king's book now?" ”

"Lord Bookkeeper should now be in the official office!"

"Take me to see it!"

Under the leadership of the soldiers, the group walked towards the official office.

The pattern in Chang'an City, the palace and the official office are in the south, and the small city where the Taiji Hall is located is basically the core of Chang'an City at this time. Including the emperor's bedroom and office location, it is all in it.

And some important government offices and buildings, such as Tianlu Pavilion, Shaofu and so on, are all in the small city. Of course, more of them are outside the town. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Eastern Jin Dynasty Tang Wang's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
