Chapter 356: Emperor Xian's Eastward Movement (16)

Looking at the nearby Hangu Pass, many people burst into tears, if only tears could still flow from their eyes.

Along the way, almost everyone was in a state of fear, for fear that if they walked slowly, they would be chased by the Xiliang army behind. Those days in Chang'an were a nightmare for everyone, with no clothes, no food, and fear every day, worried that they would be approached by those demons of the Xiliang Army...

It is precisely because of such an encounter that these people chose to leave Chang'an with Liu Xie, instead of still living in Chang'an City...

Of course, those who can still follow Liu Xie now are either some strong people, or some wealthy families, who have their own cars and cars, which can save a lot of energy, as for those poor families or weak people, they are now lagging behind and have been slaughtered by the Xiliang Army...

In order to catch up with the Son of Heaven's car along the way, almost all the people who dared to stand in the way along the way have been slaughtered...

Of course, these days will not know, nor will the ministers, nor will those who follow him...

"Let's go, hurry up and escort the Son of Heaven into the customs, so that we can feel at ease..."Looking at the Xiongguan in front of him, Yang Feng said to Xu Huang next to him.

"Yes, General!" Xu Huang nodded in response.

Although Xu Huang's performance along the way is very outstanding, in the final analysis, he is still Yang Feng's subordinate, and he does not plan to change this point at present.

However, just when he was about to lead people into Hangu Pass, he found that there were faint figures peeping on Hangu Pass. After noticing this scene, Xu Huang shouted in shock. "Alert !!"

Just arrived at the pass, the destination has arrived, it is the time when people's spirits are the most relaxed, at this time, Xu Huang's drink, so that the people around him are a little dazed, and they don't react at all. It took a while to understand what Xu Huang meant, and he hurriedly became vigilant.

"What's wrong? What happened? Although Yang Feng's ability is not good, he is also a veteran of the battle formation, and he has already been on guard, looking at Xu Huang next to him to understand what he sees.

"I just saw a figure swaying on the city wall, it seems that someone is on it..."Xu Huang squinted his eyes, staring at the city wall motionless.

Hearing Xu Huang's words, Yang Feng couldn't help but be shocked...

As two passes between the two ancient roads of Beijing, Hangu Pass has always been garrisoned by soldiers and horses. It's not too much, but it's definitely not a small amount. But since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, this Xiongguan has been abandoned, and there is not a single soldier in the pass, and now Xu Huang said that he saw a figure, what happened?

Thinking of this, Yang Feng also looked up, but he really found that there was a figure shaking on it, and he was shocked for a while.

It's not surprising to arrive, they originally arrived at Hangu Pass when they were being chased, and a figure suddenly appeared on the pass where no one should have appeared, as long as it was a person's first reaction, would they be ambushed?

Obviously, it is definitely not just Yang Feng who has such a reaction, the first reaction of the others is also the same, and almost everyone is in a posture of turning on their backs for a while.

To Xu Huang...

After looking closely for a while, I seemed to have found something...

"Come a few people, come up with me!"

As if he understood something, Xu Huang shouted to the people behind him.

Xu Huang's prestige in the army is still very high, especially when Xu Huang is almost in charge along the way, many sergeants are very confidant of him, and he has many cronies in the army. Many people trusted Xu Huang's judgment, and when they heard Xu Huang call someone up, more than a dozen people immediately ran out.

Xu Huang glanced at it, didn't say anything, just nodded, and walked in along the open closed door. As soon as they entered, they found that everything inside was something they had not expected. What was supposed to be a majestic place now looks more like a miniature city.

To be exact, a village built in the middle of a pass...

It was supposed to be a place where the army lived, but now there are families living in it, and many of the houses have clothes drying on their doors. The open door was now ajar, and there were people peeking out through the cracks in the door.

As for the so-called figures that Xu Huang saw earlier, they were actually just some people lying on the wall, quietly looking down. Now that I saw someone running into Hangu Pass, everyone was panicked.

"Go, grab one..."

Xu Huang immediately commanded.

Looking at the frightened appearance of these people, it is almost impossible to expect them to come down on their own, and in this case, it is more realistic and efficient to ask someone to catch one.

The soldiers who came in with Xu Huang were actually a little nervous before they came in, after all, if there were ambushes inside, they would basically be here.

That's right, Xu Huang is indeed very strong, at least in the Xiliang Army, there is no stronger martial arts than Xu Huang. But Xu Huang is not a 10,000-strong enemy, if he is really besieged by the enemy, even if Xu Huang is strong, can he still kill him?

Well, maybe Xu Huang still has a little chance, but these of them who are small soldiers must be dead. The reason why I came in with a piece this time was because of my trust in Xu Huang, and because of my loyalty, I was naturally relieved that I had confirmed that there was nothing to do.

After hearing Xu Huang's order, they regained their spirits one by one, and ran to the top of the city wall to say that the people above had been arrested.

I have to say that as Xu Huang's cronies, their strength is still very good, their movements are very vigorous, and they didn't waste too much time from going up to arresting people.

After a while, I saw that they brought the people on the city wall down, so at the same time, Xu Huang also sent people to the outside of Hangu Pass, showing that the people who met the surprise could come in.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” dividing lineβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Those who were outside, one by one, also watched Xu Huang walk into Hangu Pass with apprehension. Even those who didn't know what was going on knew that there was a figure shaking in Hangu Pass.

To be reasonable, no matter what kind of information you look at, there should be no one living here, but there are actually people haunting? This is really an unimaginable thing, and more people are beginning to wonder if there are soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Army ambushed inside, which is also the biggest possibility from the current point of view.

"General, is it too late for us to retreat now..."Walking to Yang Feng's side, Yang Biao asked in a low voice.

A figure suddenly appeared in a place where there should have been no one, and as one of the few people Liu Xie could count on, he had to think a little more.

"I'm afraid I can't..."Yang Feng shook his head with a wry smile. Now almost all the people are piled up in the Hangu Pass, forming a long snake, and they can't move easily at all, if they want to change the formation and withdraw from the Hangu Pass in a hurry, I'm afraid it will cause chaos..."

Hangu Pass is somewhat similar to the canyon landform, which is also an important reason why he is so precipitous, a large number of soldiers and horses can not be deployed, so that the soldiers and horses that can attack the pass are always maintained in a small number, so it is not difficult to understand that one man is the pass.

In most cases, this can be called a good thing, but now things are a bit more difficult to do, because it also means that if a large number of people are piled up here, it is difficult to change direction in a hurry, and if one is not done well, everyone is confused, and it is even more troublesome.

Fortunately, just when everyone was a little nervous, they suddenly saw a sergeant running out of it, someone with sharp eyes, and quickly recognized that this person was the person who ran to Hangu Pass with Xu Huang not long ago.

Seeing that the sergeant ran in front of everyone, he hurriedly spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, General Xu asked me to tell the adults that it is safe inside, and you can go in!"

"Oh?" Having said that, but the people present were all frightened birds, and it was obviously impossible to enter so easily based on Xu Huang's words alone, especially Yang Biao hurriedly asked. "What happened to the figure in the previous gate?"

"Well, it seems that the people who originally lived in the gate saw us coming and took a sneaky look at us," the soldier explained.

"People?"

Yang Biao, Yang Feng and the others were a little incredulous, after all, the Hangu Pass they knew before had been abandoned.

"Yes, the people, it looks like they live in the pass, it may be the people who escaped from Luoyang and Chang'an, after all, there is no place to live in this wilderness, so they came here..."The soldiers understand this reason very well, after all, people always want to have a house to live in, and Hangu Pass is such a good place, one is because it is steep enough, ordinary bandits will not come here, and the other is that occasionally there will be business travelers passing by, although the number is pitiful, But it's also convenient to exchange for some daily necessities.

What's more, this place is exactly in the middle of Chang'an and Luoyang, and the princes of the eastern part of the country will not come easily, and the warlords of Xiliang on the Chang'an side have little interest in this place because of the Tongguan.

In the prosperous times, there was nothing, but in troubled times, this is a place comparable to paradise.

After glancing at each other, Yang Biao and Yang Feng decided to send some people in to take a look first, and then go in after making sure that there was no problem, not to say that they actually got to this point, they really can't act carelessly, after all, there are too many things on their shoulders.

At the same time, in the pass, Xu Huang also got a lot of information from the mouths of those people.

Hangu Pass has been abandoned for a long time, and there are no soldiers and horses stationed here at all. There are a lot of people, because there is no one to harass here, and there are places to live for free, and there are still so many people who live here.

The arrival of the Son of Heaven's car made these people panic. They also thought that the Xiliang Army was coming, these people were almost all people living in Luoyang or Chang'an, and they didn't dare to say that they were a rich family, at least they could be called worry-free about food and clothing, and it was because of the Xiliang Army that they ended up like this today, and now how can they not panic when they see the Xiliang Army coming.

Fortunately, they soon noticed that these people were not the same as the Xiliang Army, at least not as arrogant and domineering as the Xiliang Army, but instead looked a little similar to them, if it weren't for the difference in scale, there were many military horses escorting them, and they might not even be as good as them...

It is not surprising that Li Dao and Guo Yan chased after him very much along the way, except for one emperor, the rest of them, including the ministers, were all embarrassed. In comparison, although these people living in Hangu Pass are poorly fed and clothed, they can at least clean themselves up, and they are much better than these ministers.

After the group entered Hangu Pass, these people had no other way than to obey...

"How, General Xu, now we can have a good rest..."

Walking into Hangu Pass, stroking the mossy wall with his hand, a minister chuckled and said to Xu Huang next to him.

Xu Huang has been urging them all the way, and he is responsible for the safety of this group of people, so these people don't dare to complain to Xu Huang, but in their hearts, they have been complaining non-stop, feeling that Xu Huang is completely alarmist, and things are not as terrible as Xu Huang said.

Now all this proves this, Li Dao and Guo Yan's soldiers and horses didn't chase after them at all, Xu Huang was purely worried.

However, if it weren't for Xu Huang's support along the way, the group would not have been able to arrive safely, so although there was a little complaint in his heart, the minister only said this ridiculously, and there was no malice.

His words quickly drew a response, and it was clear that the events of the last few moments were really driving them crazy. However, now many people know that Xu Huang is not light in front of Yang Biao and other important ministers, and they don't dare to embarrass him, at most, they just take the opportunity to vent...

Xu Huang was somewhat helpless about this, but he couldn't say anything, who made him misjudge?

"But why didn't Li Dao chase them down here? Could it be that something happened temporarily? Or maybe what did Ma Teng do over there? ”

This is also the most likely option at present, Chang'an Shi Xu Huang is also considered to be the middle and upper level of the Xiliang Army, and he has some understanding of the internal situation of the Xiliang Army, and it is clear that many generals of the Xiliang Army are actually a little impatient with the Son of Heaven.

After all, the Son of Heaven is in Chang'an, they will always be a little restrained, obviously just a thin teenager who has no power to restrain the chicken, but they need to kneel down to show obedience, even if it is only on the surface...

Maybe it wasn't much at first, but after a long time, anyone will feel uncomfortable. There are also many people in the Xiliang Army who feel that it is okay to simply let the Son of Heaven leave Chang'an and return to Luoyang, and they will be at ease in Chang'an City from then on, and after the Son of Heaven returns to Luoyang, he will do whatever he wants, and it has nothing to do with them.

If they don't chase because of this decision, it's not impossible.

The second is Ma Teng...

If there is an emergency on Ma Teng's side, or even breaks through Chang'an, then...

Everything is equivalent to having a good explanation...

It's just vaguely, Xu Huang feels that things may not be so simple...
