Regarding the fact that they actually stopped to offer the emperor, in fact, Jia Xu was anxious in his heart. At this time, Emperor Xian's team is actually not far from Hangu Pass, and only needs a little speed to arrive at Hangu Pass in a short time, at that time, Emperor Xian can rely on the natural danger of Hangu Pass to resist Li Dao and Guo Yan's pursuers, and calmly arrive in Luoyang, and Li Dao and Guo Yan can't rely on the soldiers and horses in their hands to storm Hangu Pass—————— because there is no longer necessary...

This is not to say that Li Dao and Guo Yan can't attack Hangu Pass, yes, Hangu Pass is indeed a natural danger, but Li Dao and the soldiers and horses they brought are not in the minority. It's just that when Emperor Xian was about to arrive in Luoyang, Li Dao and Guo Yan, who did not carry siege equipment, did not need to storm Hangu Pass, so even if they could capture Hangu Pass, the casualties would be too great, and this was because Hangu Pass had been abandoned.

In the third year of King Zhou Shenliang, King Huai of Chu raised the army of the Six Kingdoms to attack Qin, and Qin relied on the natural danger of Hangu, so that the army of the Six Kingdoms "ambushed millions of corpses, bleeding and drifting". In the sixth year of Qin Shi Huang, the armies of Chu, Zhao, Wei and other five countries committed Qin, "to Hangu, they were all defeated". "Liu Bang guarded the pass and rejected Xiang Yu", "The "Taolin War" between the Tang army and the rebels in the "Anshi Rebellion"...

If it weren't for the fact that almost all the ordnance guarding the city on Hangu Pass was gone, even if Li Dao and Guo Yan had more soldiers and horses, they would not be able to break through Hangu Pass in a short time without carrying sufficient siege equipment, after all, it was one of the most famous natural hazards in this era, even if Li Dao and Guo Yan had more soldiers and horses, they would not be able to calmly deploy it inside.

Jia Xu thought that after repelling the pursuers, the Son of Heaven would continue to retreat to Hangu Pass with the rest of the people, but now...

Stopping now is a particularly stupid thing to do from any point of view.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu's heart became anxious, but it was impossible for him to stand up and speak for Emperor Xian, which would arouse the suspicion of Li Dao and Guo Yan. He knew very well that the two of them were treating him politely now, and in fact they were not suspicious of him all the time. After all, Emperor Xian's escape from Chang'an City is too strange, especially the series of things that happened in it, it seems that only he can plan it.

If they really found out that Jia Xu was in this matter, Jia Xu would even dare to conclude that even if these two people didn't want their own lives, they wouldn't give themselves any good fruit to eat...

Jia Xu is not without loyalty, and he still has a sense of loyalty to the Han family. Otherwise, when Emperor Xian asked for advice, Jia Xu would not have stood up to help. However, compared with the Han family, Jia Xu is more loyal to himself, and everything he does is to ensure his own life...

In other words, he won't do anything that might threaten his life, just like he does now.

And now, he has come up with a plan for the two of them that is enough to threaten the safety of Emperor Xian...

Take a detour...

"At present, the soldiers and horses have just been defeated, and it will always take some time to regroup, but we can send a small group of elites to make a detour, pass through the path in the mountains, and go around to the back of Hangu Pass, so that the Son of Heaven's team will be blocked in Hangu Pass. Yes, Hangu Pass is indeed a natural danger, but the reason why Hangu Pass is difficult to break is not that his city wall is tall and strong, nor how many ordnance weapons are used to defend the city, but because of the narrow terrain, which makes it impossible to deploy the only soldiers and horses, no matter how many soldiers and horses you have, you can only put a small part of it, and use this small part of the soldiers and horses to attack the opponent's city wall. Defending the city is easier than attacking the city, and the casualties of the defenders are generally much smaller than those of the siege, which is why Hangu Pass is difficult to break. But this advantage is also relative, the terrain of Hangu Pass is narrow, which means that we can not invest too many soldiers and horses to attack the city, and the other party can also not let too many soldiers and horses out of the city to meet the enemy, as long as there are more than 1,000 soldiers and horses can bypass from the mountain path, you can block the exit, at that time the people and horses in Hangu Pass must be floating, and the two generals will attack from both directions at the same time, it will not take long to capture Hangu Pass. If the two generals don't want to have too many casualties among the soldiers and horses under their command, they can just spend it, and it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to carry too much food on this trip, and it will not take a few days to fall into the dilemma of food shortage, even if the two generals do not attack, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will not be able to hold on..."

Looking at Jia Xu's appearance, Li Dao and Guo Yan were a little skeptical, whether the Son of Heaven escaped from Chang'an was really his plan...

That's right, Hangu Pass is indeed a natural hazard, but as I said before, even if it is a steep mountain, can there not even be a path? You must know that even if there is a plank road on Huashan.

And the natural danger of Hangu Pass is also relative, of course, it is useless to attack head-on, but if Hangu Pass is surrounded, the defenders inside will not think of it. The most important thing is that this trip of the Son of Heaven is as Jia Xu said, it is impossible to bring much food, as long as Hangu Pass is besieged, then...

You can imagine how desperate the Son of Heaven and his party will be...

It doesn't take much time, as long as there is about ten days, the people inside are afraid that they will collapse, and at that time, even if Hangu Pass is precipitous, what is the use?

"Sir is really a good plan..."After pondering for a moment, Li Wei couldn't help but say in admiration.

"Not bad." Guo Yan also nodded. "I'm going to arrange for people to act..."

Li Dao and the others are actually exhausted now, but this time they brought so many soldiers and horses, and it was no problem to select one or two thousand elites from them.

To say the only problem...

I'm afraid it's that path on Hanguguan Mountain, where is it...

Whether it is Jia Xu or Li Wei, they are not locals, let alone hunters who go up to the mountains to hunt, how can they know where the path is? The most troublesome part of this plan is this path.

"Sir?"

"General, don't look at me, I don't know much about this..."Jia Xu smiled bitterly, after all, he is not omnipotent. However, there should still be some people living in the area, and the general may be able to look for them..."

This is true, now both Chang'an and Luoyang have been abandoned, and it is difficult to say whether they can survive if they continue to stay there. Many of the people who were looking for a way out of the city basically ran out of the city, some of them to the south, but some of them settled in the middle of the two ancient roads. One is that you can avoid the harassment of the Xiliang Army, and the other is that you can survive here, after all, this is also a deep mountain, and you can hunt for a living.

After thinking about it with Guo Yan, Li Wei also felt that Jia Xu's proposal was good...

On the one hand, he began to mobilize military horses, and on the other hand, he sent his own guards to find some locals nearby and let them lead the way.

As mentioned earlier, whether it is in Luoyang or Chang'an, there are many people who can't survive and run out, and these people don't dare to run far, they all run to the center of the two ancient roads, the number is not much, but there are still hundreds of people.

Originally, their lives also belonged to a relatively stable type, between Hangu Pass and Tongguan, although it was not a paradise. But Luoyang has been deserted, the Kwantung princes have little interest, and the warlords of the Xiliang Army on the Chang'an side are also busy fighting for power, but this has become a place where no one disturbs, especially the closer to Hangu Pass, the more so...

Perhaps their lives are not very good, but compared to other people in this era, they live in a place that is almost like heaven. But this kind of paradise-like life was soon shattered because of the actions of Li Dao and others.

Li Dao's Xiliang Army is not a charity group, and it is absolutely impossible to do nothing after finding these fish that have slipped through the net, just asking a few words.

After finding these fish that slipped through the net, they will inevitably burn and loot, especially when they meet those women...

You must know that since Chang'an was barren, everything else has been easy to solve, but wine, meat and women are...

The women's color is relatively better, but the goods that can be found now are usually relatively ordinary, and the high-end goods are either in those big families, or simply in the palace, and there are almost no commoners. And although the former is down, it is not so easy to offend, at least Li Dao and Guo Yan are impossible to attack those wealthy families in Chang'an City for no reason, as for the latter...

Be reasonable...

After all, it's the Son of Heaven, even if it's down, it's definitely not comparable to them...

Now that I've finally met some new goods, you can imagine how eager these guys are...

As a result, by the time they brought the survivors they had found to the army, there would be at least no people left near Hangu Pass. Jia Xu is not unclear about this, but the most important thing in his heart is always his own life, as for other things?

Sorry, those things have nothing to do with him, and he doesn't need to pity those who have nothing to do with him. If one day, he had to face a choice, that is, to sacrifice a million people in exchange for his survival, he would not hesitate, as for the Han family and the like, not to mention the need, he had already done this kind of thing once, and this time he seemed to have to do it again...

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

I have to say that those ordinary people are indeed very wronged, they originally lived a good life, but an inexplicable disaster fell from the sky, and those guys who were like wolves and tigers on the Great Wall suddenly appeared and searched them out of the deep mountains and old forests.

If only that's it, it's nothing, the most important thing is their home...

It's gone...

When those people were brought into the army, they were all afraid and hateful, but they couldn't help it, because their power was too weak, and there was no one here who could protect them...

"General, the people have already been brought..."After bringing those people over, the leader of the pro-soldiers hugged his fists at Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Looking at the panicked people below, Li Dao and the others were expressionless, of course they couldn't see that the female dependents among these people were almost all disheveled, and at first glance, they had experienced something, but even if they saw it, what could they do? Do you want them to punish these guards?

You must know that the people who can be personal guards are usually the most loyal people around you, and if you punish yourself, won't it make the people around you chill? Although everyone often talks about justice and justice, it is an indisputable fact that people are biased and unreasonable...

What's more, the Xiliang Army was not originally an army with strong military aircraft, and there were definitely a lot of such things in Chang'an in the past, and now they will be punished?

They can all see it, let alone Jia Xu, just looking at the embarrassed and depressed appearance of these people in front of him, Jia Xu doesn't even feel a little guilty.

After gathering all the people, someone soon came forward and asked if anyone knew that they could climb the path of Hangu Pass. This also seems to be the most important thing at the moment, as long as they can read Hangu Pass, then Liu Xie and them will be dead...

To be reasonable, whoever it is, his peaceful life is broken, his family is slaughtered, and his wife and daughter are humiliated, I am afraid it is absolutely impossible to cooperate.

The question is, is this kind of thing really something that can be persisted without cooperation?

Seeing that these people did not cooperate with the inquiries of himself and others, and did not even need Li Dao's signal, the guard drew his knife with an unexpected expression and dragged a person out of the crowd. It was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, and this young man seemed to have a family in the crowd, trying to snatch him back from the hands of the guard, but he was completely unsuccessful, and the soldiers guarding the side had already pushed them back, and some even used their weapons directly. In the end, they didn't even have the slightest choice but to watch their loved ones being dragged out...

Although that person is also considered to be a young man, how can his brute strength be compared to the guards around Li Dao? Under the big hand of the commander of the guard, he was dragged out like a little chicken cub who had no power to fight back.

The young man still looked like he would rather die than give in, as if he would not be able to cooperate no matter how tortured or insulted he was for a while, but what he didn't expect was that the guard didn't ask him any questions at all, just pulled out the ring knife in his hand, and then without hesitation, the knife cut down on the young man's neck. Blood flowed down the blade of the knife, and after a while, the blade and the ground were completely dyed red.

Seeing this scene, almost all the surviving people were frightened and commotioned. But the young man's family covered their faces with their hands and couldn't help crying.

"Now, there should be someone willing to say it, right?"

Coldly, Li Dao asked.

However, except for a burst of crying, he did not get a response, and Li Dao was not surprised by this, after all, only one person died.

Soon the second person was arrested, and this time the people in the crowd finally understood what they were trying to do, and they went up to stop them one by one as if they were crazy, especially the family of that person, but...

It didn't work...

Just as they were powerless to resist the atrocities, so they had nothing to do but watch the man who was captured die like the youth before them...

After a stick of incense, the ground was full of corpses, and the ground was stained red with blood...

And Li Dao and Guo Yan looked at the young man standing in front of him with a satisfied face, full of fear, almost collapsed...

"Good..."
