Since entering Hangu Pass, the people who entered the pass have relaxed, feeling that since they have arrived at Hangu Pass safely, it is impossible for the two traitors, Li Dao and Guo Yan, to continue to chase them.

It is with such a mentality that many people have relaxed, and even Xu Huang himself, not to mention it on his face, has actually relaxed a lot.

Yes, there was still a hint of uneasiness in his heart, as if to remind him of something he had forgotten. But his reason was telling him that Hangu Pass was a difficult Xiongguan to break, and even if Li Dao and Guo Yan brought all their soldiers and horses, it would probably take a long time to break through Hangu Pass...

What happened next, however, proved that his instincts were not wrong...

"Hell, how can there be their men in this direction too!"

Climbing on the other end of the city wall and looking at the enemy troops in the distance, Xu Huang said in surprise.

To be honest, Li Dao and Guo Yan were able to catch up, which was actually not unexpected by Xu Huang. However, he didn't worry too much, he was very clear about the solidity of Hangu Pass, and it was difficult for Li Dao and their soldiers and horses to break through Hangu Pass. The problem is that the soldiers and horses that appeared on the other side of Hangu Pass ...

"General rest assured, these horses are only more than a thousand people, Hangu Pass is the world's strongest pass, the defense capabilities on both sides are very strong, the soldiers and horses on the west side of Hangu Pass are still unable to capture this pass, let alone these soldiers and horses in the east..."

Looking at this officer, Xu Huang wanted to curse a little, but he still held back...

"Quick, go and invite Lord Yang and Lord Zhao to come, and say that disaster is coming..."

"Yes!" A military leader next to him said, and immediately turned around and left the scene after receiving the order.

Xu Huang's ignorance made the officer next to him a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, it didn't take too much time, Yang Biao and Zhao Wen had already walked over with many ministers, and their faces showed panicked expressions. Especially Yang Biao, now the Son of Heaven is also in Hangu Pass, if he is really blocked in this, it will be very lively...

"General Xu, what's the situation now?!" Just arrived, Yang Biao had already asked.

Perhaps because of the urgency of the situation, Yang Biao trotted all the way. However, considering his age, he has been tossed all the way down, and he is already out of breath, and he has completely lost his majesty on weekdays.

"There is some trouble, the way we came has been blocked by Li Wei's soldiers and horses, and the enemy situation was also found on the way to Luoyang, according to the report of the people over there, about a thousand Xiliang troops were guarding there, blocking our way to Luoyang..."

He finally understood where his previous ominous premonition came from, he just thought that Hangu Pass was steep and the Xiliang army could not break through, but he forgot that the Xiliang army could not break through but could bypass it. As long as the Xiliang army bypasses the Hangu Pass, it can easily besiege the soldiers and horses in the pass.

"More than a thousand soldiers and horses?" Hearing this number, a minister who was following Yang Biao breathed a sigh of relief, as if some kind of burden had been put down. "It's just more than a thousand people, we can kill them first, and then go to Luoyang."

"Yes, yes, it's just more than a thousand people..."

Apparently, the other ministers were relieved to hear this figure, and did not seem to understand what it meant.

Looking at them like this, Xu Huang was a little helpless, but he didn't blame them, after all, they were not soldiers and didn't understand many things.

At the same time, Yang Biao noticed Xu Huang's expression and couldn't help frowning and asked.

"What, General Xu, what's wrong?"

As I said before, Yang Biao has long understood that if he wants to revive the Han family, it is not enough to rely on the prestige that remains of the Han family, and it is impossible to expect to raise the banner of the Han family, and the princes of the Quartet will give up their rights to submit to obedience, which is almost impossible.

So from now on, Yang Biao has secretly paid attention to those talents who can be used by Liu Xie. Xu Huang is one of them, and he is currently the most important candidate. Along the way, Yang Biao has already seen that although Yang Feng is the leader on the surface, in fact, Xu Huang is the one who arranges everything, and it is rare that Xu Huang still has this loyalty to the Han family, this time Yang Feng will decide to help the Son of Heaven leave the sea of bitterness because of Xu Huang's persuasion.

This also means that Xu Huang has the value and possibility of wooing...

"My lord..."Hearing Yang Biao's inquiry, Xu Huang hurriedly whispered. The reason why Hangu Pass is difficult to break, in addition to the pass itself, the most important thing is that the terrain is steep and narrow, and it is difficult to deploy troops in it, no matter how many soldiers and horses you have, in the end only a small part of the front can be directly put into it, and it is impossible to form an advantage in the strength of the soldiers and horses on the pass, not to mention the ordnance used for siege..."

"Don't look at the Xiliang army this time only invested more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, as long as they occupy a favorable terrain, it will be extremely difficult to break through, in other words, we are now trapped in this Hangu Pass..."

Speaking of this, Xu Huang already smiled bitterly.

It is not surprising that Hangu Pass is indeed one of the most dangerous passes in the world, but his role is only to repel the enemy. And when I designed this pass, I didn't think about what to do if both sides were blocked, because at that time, no matter what I did, it was useless...

Think about it, you know, what is Hangu Pass used for? It is used to defend Luoyang and prevent Luoyang from being captured by the enemy. In the past, it was not that no one considered the possibility of Hangu Pass being crossed, the key is that Hangu Pass itself is very steep, even if someone turns over, one is unable to carry any heavy siege ordnance, and even armor can not be carried, and the soldiers and horses who come over can only come on foot, and the other is that they cannot carry too much grain and grass.

Those soldiers and horses who crossed over could not pose any threat to Luoyang at all. Not to mention Hangu Pass, coupled with the steep road, it is impossible to have too many soldiers and horses in turn, which means that Luoyang's soldiers and horses can easily eliminate these. Even if Luoyang's soldiers and horses are unsustainable for a while, these soldiers and horses who have crossed the mountains and mountains will soon consume the grain and grass they carry.

In other words, letting these soldiers and horses outweigh the losses at all. Anyway, it is impossible for Hangu Pass to be breached, as long as these soldiers and horses starve to death.

However, this situation is only out of a very ideal state, that is, after the soldiers and horses marched into Hangu Pass, they recklessly sent troops and horses over the mountains and mountains, and Luoyang's soldiers and horses were also sufficient.

Today's situation is completely different...

Luoyang has long been deserted, and there are no soldiers and horses that can rush to reinforce it, let alone annihilate these Xiliang troops who have come over the mountains, in other words, they are completely trapped here.

"Even if that's the case, it's impossible for Hangu Pass to be breached..."

After listening to Xu Huang's explanation, many people were pale, and a minister asked tremblingly.

"That's true..."Xu Huang nodded.

There is no problem with this, and Hangu Pass is indeed very difficult to break. After all, Hangu Pass is the same steep whether it is east or west, so there is no need to worry about anything at all.

It's just that...

Without waiting for those ministers to breathe a sigh of relief, they listened to Xu Huang continue.

"They don't need to break through Hangu Pass at all, they just need to trap us..."

Hearing this, some people didn't react at first, but after a while...

"Grain and grass!"

Almost immediately, Zhong Xuan had already exclaimed.

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

"Those guys in the pass, I'm afraid they're already panicking now..."Riding on horseback and looking at Hangu Pass in the distance, Li Wei sneered.

"Yes, they would never have imagined that we would actually send troops and horses to cross the Hangu Pass and block them in the pass..."Guo Yan also sneered. Then we don't even need to attack the city, we just need to wait here and let them collapse without a fight..."

This is absolutely true, Hangu Pass is definitely the best pass in the world, and it is difficult to break through from the outside.

But there is also a saying that castles are always easiest to attack from within, and this is no different. As mentioned earlier, the previous speculation was just the most ideal posture, that is, there were reinforcements in Luoyang, and there were not many soldiers and horses crossing Hangu Pass, let alone carrying much grain and grass.

But in fact, I'm afraid that now, if not the worst, it can't deviate much.

Luoyang has long been deserted, and there are no reinforcements at all, let alone sending troops. But this is not important, the real problem is that Hangu Pass has also been abandoned for a long time, and only recently some people have moved in...

This means that not only is there not enough ordnance to defend the city in this pass, but more importantly, there is not enough food...

Yes, grain ...

Li Dao's purpose was not to capture Hangu Pass at all, and they didn't have this need at all, because they only needed to trap Hangu Pass, which was enough. Liu Xie fled for their lives when they left Chang'an, and they carried some important items, not to mention that there was not much food or anything, and even if there were, it was impossible to carry too much, which meant that the people in Hangu Pass simply did not have enough food to support them for too long...

For many, that's enough...

Now Li Dao and Guo Yan don't need to do anything, they just need to stay here, and they can watch the defenders in Hangu Pass collapse...

If they wish to rush out of the Hanya Pass, so much the better...

As I said before, the most critical factor in Hangu Pass is the steep terrain, the narrow and steep terrain cannot allow too many troops to deploy, even if it is only more than a thousand people, it is enough to hold on for a period of time.

What's more, Li Dao and they can't sit idly by, as long as there is movement over there, they will follow suit.

"Two generals, I think it's best to wait for five days before making a move..."

Just when both of them were a little proud, Jia Xu on the side said softly.

"Oh? Why? Hearing Jia Xu say this, both of them were a little surprised. Shouldn't we wait until they're almost all starved to death? "After all, this is also the best means, not to mention anything else, the number of soldiers and horses in Hangu Pass is not small, and if they really want to do it, they don't have the certainty of breaking through, and if they don't do it well, they may lose a large number of soldiers and horses.

At this time, it is undoubtedly the best solution to sit back and watch the soldiers and horses in the pass fall into starvation.

When the people inside are almost hungry, they can calmly collect the entire pass.

However, hearing their words, Jia Xu shook his head. "Two generals, you must know that there are no loyal and patriotic people in this world, especially when facing a desperate situation, even people who claim to be loyal ministers on weekdays will become another face, and the two generals should know this very well."

"In normal times, I'm afraid that countless people are willing to show loyalty to the Son of Heaven, but what will happen if it is really a desperate situation, I am afraid that at that time, there will be a riot in Guanzhong, if it hurts the Son of Heaven, then..."

"The two generals must understand what kind of reputation the two generals are in the eyes of the world, if there is any accident to the Son of Heaven, others will not be able to understand the hardships of the two generals, and will only think that the two generals have harmed the life of the Son of Heaven, and then the two generals are afraid that they will be hated by the people of the world..."

After listening to Jia Xu's words, the two glanced at each other.

Jia Xu's words can't actually be said to be wrong, because if it really comes to a situation where he is about to starve to death, there is no doubt about one thing, that is, no matter who is starved to death, the Son of Heaven will not be starved to death, as long as there is still a bite to eat, it is also given priority to the Son of Heaven.

In normal times, maybe those soldiers would be willing to be loyal to the Son of Heaven, but if they really get to the point of starving to death...

Everyone has the right to live, and everyone wants to survive, so why should others have food when they are about to starve to death?

It's really to that point, I'm afraid that all the soldiers will take risks, and who will care about the identity of the Son of Heaven at that time? A son who does not make a good fortune will die in the riots. If the Son of Heaven dies, then the fun will be great, no matter how weak the current Han family is, he is the co-master of the world, and everyone recognizes it.

Now the reputation of Li Dao and Guo Yan is not very good, and the first reason why the princes of Kanto and other directions did not crusade against them must be because they are busy fighting each other and fighting for power, and if the Son of Heaven is still in their hands, they will definitely have some scruples.

But if the Son of Heaven dies at their hands...

Those princes, in order to win the support of more people, and in order to be able to stand on a moral foothold, and most importantly, not to be blamed by other competitors on this issue, the only way is to send troops to avenge the death of the Son of Heaven.

At that time, I'm afraid it will be a remake of the Second War against Dong...

Although Li Dao and Guo Yan are powerful, no matter how powerful they are, can they still be more powerful than Dong Zhuo? At that time, there will be absolutely no escape from the fate of the death of the clan...

Even the two of them had to think about this matter more...
