Chapter 57: There is an ambush

I made a lot of preparations, and I didn't expect that the recovery of Hanguguan would be so smooth. Because, when Ao Canghai rushed to the front of the pass and was ready to do a big job. I actually found that Hangu Pass was empty. Close it down, don't say that people don't even have a monkey. In this way, the Great Qin Xiongguan was not guarded by a single soldier, and stood quietly in the east of the empire.

Tentatively sent scouts to search inside and out for two whole hours, but there was still no trace of a single person. The armory is still in good condition, although the crossbow bolts inside are badly lost. But the halberds and other blades were neatly placed, and the grain depot was a mess. Swarms of rats were gathering food on the ground, and when they saw someone coming, they immediately dispersed. Hiding in a corner in the shadows, observing the newcomers.

"General Ao, don't bother like this anymore. Seeing that the granaries have been robbed, it must be that the defenders here got the news of Du Bi's defeat and fled. Let's hurry up and kill Hangu Pass and march into the three eastern counties! Captain Zuo said to Ao Canghai.

The Yun family's cavalry can only send out 2,000 people, and Yun Yue is afraid that Ao Canghai will suffer. Specially let Yiqu Jun's left military captain take the 8,000 cavalry of the headquarters to act with Ao Canghai.

King Yiqu will never pay these Qiu Ba salaries. The reason why Yiqu and these people beat the Xiongnu soft-footed crabs was that the spirit of the Qin army in the pass was a hundred times. There are many reasons, but they can be summed up in one word - money!

A penny is difficult for heroes, and if you want salt and cloth, you can only exchange it with those black-hearted Chinese. It is not for nothing that a sheep is exchanged for a basket of cloth, and a horse is exchanged for a jar of salt. The hearts of Chinese merchants are all black, and if they open their stomachs, their hearts will stink.

Of course. It's okay not to take money from cattle and sheep. But the grasslands are full of men who are good at raising sheep, and few people can make money by trading backwards. Every time he comes out to fight, in addition to responding to the call of Yiqu Jun. The most important thing is to grab some money and come back. The baby at home is still bare-bottomed, and the mutton soup in the pot is salty and tasteless. Whoever doesn't grab something and come back, he's embarrassed to see someone.

Under the guidance of this combat thinking, I met the Hei tribe who were poorer than the Yiqu people. The Yiqu people naturally don't have much combat effectiveness, but now it's different when they come to Guanzhong. Everywhere is rich, and the Yiqu cavalry is good at everything. Don't grab it at this time, wait for when. The soldier's eyes were red. It's no different from bandits.

Ao Canghai saw through Captain Zuo's thoughts at a glance, and he was afraid that his hands were itchy. It's not easy to start in Guanzhong, but the three eastern counties where the rebels gather are always easy to start. Profit from the beginning of counterinsurgency. It is the only way for the eight Qiuba.

"Hangu Pass must be garrisoned, since the captain of the left military academy is willing to go forward to quell the rebellion. But at your own convenience, our army is here to wait for the Hou Ye. "Blocking people's money is like killing parents, although Ao Canghai disdains robbery. But it will definitely not stop these righteous people. It's not easy to come out and mix. Isn't it just to make some money with your head pinned to your belt?

Captain Zuo was overjoyed, but he didn't expect the red man in front of Yunhou to be so familiar and easy to talk. "General Ao only needs to wait for Hou Ye here, and the captain of this school will take the brothers to the three eastern counties. If you get delicious food, you will naturally have a share of General Ao. Captain Zuo arched his hand and took the Yiqu cavalry out of the pass.

Ao Canghai shook his head, it looked like the people of the three eastern counties were going to suffer. Who let them support the rebellion. It is also reasonable to scrape the ground in the land of rebellion. Since you choose to support the rebellion, you should have a sense of risk. Success comes from the dragon's work. If you fail, you will naturally be ruined. I can't care so much, it's right to find someone to clean up here.

"Brothers, go get some people. Clean up this place! Ao Canghai gave an order, and a group of killers rushed out. The cavalry of the Yun family never did such rough work. Killing people is their job.

The captain of the left army galloped in the canyon with the Yiqu cavalry, looking forward to the upcoming wealth. He had prepared many sacks even before he set off. Prepare to load those yellow and clear copper coins, and the rebels will not rob the white fucking ones on their territory.

Hangu Pass, according to the plateau in the west, borders the Jiejian in the east, connects the Qinling Mountains in the south, and connects the Yellow River in the north. Because it is closed in the valley, it is as dangerous as a letter, so it is called Hangu Pass. Qin Xiaogong seized the land of Cuihan from the Wei state and set up the Hangu Pass here. This pass is fifteen miles long from east to west, and the valley road only allows one car to pass, known as "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people do not open" said. In 241 B.C., Chu, Zhao, Han, and Wei jointly attacked Qin, and were defeated.

Jia Yi of the Western Han Dynasty's famous political treatise "On the Passage of Qin" wrote: "So the people of the Six Kingdoms ...... Taste ten times the land, millions of people, knock on the pass and attack Qin. The Qin people switched and extended the enemy, and the division of the Nine Kingdoms did not dare to enter", in which the "pass" refers to the Hangu Pass, which shows its strategic influence.

The autumn rain has just fallen, and the Yellow River is abundantly watered. A wave crashed against the shore with a loud roar. The canyon is 50 kilometers long, the east end is Hangu Pass, and the west end is Tongguan.

Captain Zuo led 8,000 people and plunged into the Grand Canyon. There are cliffs on both sides, and Tongguan has not yet been established at this time. It's just that there are a few beacon towers, which are used for early warning of the army. Normally, there is no danger after passing the Hanya Pass.

In autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the clear air rises, and the turbidity falls. The sky was blue, and a few white clouds drifted in between. The cool breeze is blowing, and it is very pleasant to go on a horse at this time. From time to time, monkeys came out on both sides of the mountain forest, and some mischievous ones even hit the cavalry below with stones.

The Yiqu people made a gesture and stretched out their bows and arrows, but the monkeys ran away without a trace. Turning around in the mountains and forests, he emerged from the other side.

"Captain, this is a good errand. I heard that the three eastern counties are rich and can make a good profit. A sentry commander who usually mixes well with the captain of the left military academy said with a smile.

"Toheqi, you guy knows how to make a profit. Yun Hou recently accepted those people, according to Yun Hou's temperament. Even if you take what these people have, you have to spit it out. Lord Lieutenant, I heard that Gongzi's fiefdom is not far ahead. Where do we go directly, and take the prince's mansion to the end. It is not the taboo of Zhaoyunhou, but also can salvage a sum. ”

Captain Zuo immediately looked at this kid, and he was worthy of being a well-known ghost on the grassland. Grab those who are so poor that you can grab a few dollars. It's better to grab the Son's Mansion directly, as long as you succeed, I'm afraid that there are so many money and beauties. This trip is enough for a few years.

"Geng Suotu, there's your kid. This time, you take it first. You took it, and then let that kid take it. "As the commander of the army, the left military captain has the right to distribute the spoils. In general, it is to assign the order of robbery. The big credit is the first to grab, and the small credit is the last to grab.

"Thank you, Captain!" Geng Suotu winked at Natoheqi. His eyes were full of playful and sadistic meaning, and Tuo Heqi was so angry that he wanted to scold when he saw Geng Suotu's face, but it was in the way of Captain Zuo in front of him. I can only swallow this breath alive and settle accounts with this kid after a while.

"Lord Captain, I heard that Mrs. Han and Empress Dowager Xia have many beautiful palace people around them. Is it also divided into brothers, and there is no good thing to spoil. The other sentry said with a lewd smile.

All the men smiled, and Captain Zuo was even more cheerful. The woman of the steppe is suitable for growing in the grassland, like weeds all over the mountains. Although it is durable, it is far less fragrant and beautiful than flowers.

The women of the Central Plains are like flowers, and they can't be pulled out when they look at them. The buttocks are big, the waist is thin, and the **** is round, and almost all the elements that meet the aesthetics are there. What's more, it's the beauties in the palace, which are all selected by thousands of people. If you can taste it once in this life, even if it is worth dying.

"Your boy is a yak, and you are in a hurry to breed this autumn. Hey! When the time comes, let's see if your kid will be tired to death, Huaxia people can say. Twenty-eight women's water snake waist, twisting around and withering bones! ”

"Hahaha, Toheqi! can die on a woman's belly, Lao Tzu is also willing. You kid envy it, wait for Lao Tzu to take all the beautiful away, and leave a fat cook for you. I heard that there is a 200-pound cook in the palace! Hahaha! The sentry's words caused a burst of laughter, and Tuoheqi was so angry that he almost went violent.

"You kid ......! Yes! He was just about to open his mouth to curse back when a thick crossbow bolt was driven into his eye. The arrow came out of his head, and Tuoheqi, who had just been jumping alive, fell headlong under the horse.

Almost at the same time, rocks and felled trees were being thrown downwards from the cliffs on both sides. Screams came one after another, and the Yiqu cavalry fell off their horses like dumplings.

The left lieutenant became a hard-hit area, and the enemy's crossbow arrows rained down. When everyone took off their shields, the war horses under their crotches had been hit by more than ten arrows. The war horses under the crotches of these generals are all horses that are one in a hundred. Under the pain, a few horses immediately started to go berserk. Ignoring the team in front of him, he ran wildly and hit the people on his back, and the team became chaotic in an instant.

"No chaos, no chaos!" The left military captain shouted while holding a shield to protect his body. But at this time, where can anyone take care of this, and people are neighing on their horses and making a mess.

The bolts fell, and another group of men fell off their horses.

"Lord Captain, we have been ambushed. Withdraw! Geng Suotu grabbed Captain Zuo, and a crossbow arrow grazed Geng Suotu's helmet and shot over.

Seeing that the team continued to suffer casualties, the cliffs on both sides were thousands of walls. There was no way to fight back, and the captain of the left military academy hurriedly shouted: "Retreat, push back!" There is an ambush! The whole army retreats! ”

But where would the opponent let him retreat so calmly, and countless trees coated with fire oil were thrown down. Then I saw hundreds of torches, thrown down with a whirl.

"Coax ......!" The steaming flames rose into the sky, and the soldiers were forced to retreat by the flames.

"Lord Lieutenant, the back road has been cut off. What to do? One of the sentries shouted in horror. (To be continued.) )
