The army went out of Luoyang, all the way fast, mighty march, this time also because of the preparation, Liu Hong went out of the West Mansion a batch of horses for the army, so these 8,000 soldiers everyone has horses, and the marching speed is not slow at all.

Even the foot soldiers of the barbarian soldiers under the command of Fuquan each have a horse, even though many of them are not good at controlling horses, but they are only used as a means of transportation, but it is not a big problem for the army.

However, the army had only been speeding up so fast for about a day, and as soon as they left the Yin Land Boundary in Henan, they suddenly slowed down as if they had completely broken their legs and feet. The soldiers in the army were ordered, and everyone wondered why the main general listened to the urgent battle to quell the rebellion, but after all, they were all qualified soldiers, although they thought about making meritorious contributions to quelling the chaos and getting more rewards, but they still obeyed the military order to slow down and slow down.

In fact, it was not only them, but when Fu Quan was told by Duan Cheng to give this order at the beginning, he was also confused, and he originally wanted to order the troops to speed up again, and he arrived in Beidi County as soon as possible, so as to find out the truth behind this Qiang rebellion, and calm down, but now he is controlled by Duan Cheng, this old guy, it is really terrible.

It's just that when Duan Cheng showed a secret edict given to him by Emperor Liu Hong, knowing the truth behind this Qiang chaos, he couldn't smile bitterly, he never thought that Liu Hong would play such a big game for the Northern Expedition, and directly dispatched Huangfu Song and Tian Yan, two high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty with 2,000 stones, to make a play for him. However, the two of them are doing this, don't the current Liangzhou assassin Wei Yuanpi know?

It stands to reason that if Wei Yuanpi knew, he should have played it jointly with Huangfu Song, after all, a state assassin in the history can be more convincing in this matter, anyway, it is like a feudal official on the three sides of the Han Dynasty, who has long been playing smoothly for lying about the military situation, why is there no movement at all now, it is really strange!

As for why the march was slowed down, it was to prepare for Liu Hong's deployment of troops and horses, because the emperor made it clear that around mid-August, when the three sides had reached the autumn harvest season, and the imperial court would prepare to send troops after collecting taxes.

"Wenhe, this time of sending troops, could it be that it was also done by you, the 'grandson of Duke Duan'?" Fuquan and Jia Xu rode their horses in the middle of the army, this Jia Xu didn't know what way to go, and was stuffed into the army by Liu Hong and awarded the official position of a fake Sima, but it allowed Fuquan to save the situation of insufficient strategy of the strategists around him, after all, most of his subordinates were famous people in Shu, and they were still very unfamiliar with Xianbei outside the Saiwai, and could not provide too many favorable clues.

"It's important to hurry, don't delay Your Majesty's important affairs." Jia Xu smiled after hearing this, and did not accept Fuquan's words, and revealed it vaguely. On the one hand, this was already a matter of military secrets, and he could find a way to relay it to Fu Quan, but he would not say it directly, and on the other hand, he claimed to be Duan Cheng's grandson to avoid trouble, but it was spread by someone, thinking that it was the official car driver who sent him to Beijing.

After seeing Jia Xu smile, there was no more color, and Fu Quan, who knew his temper well, knew that he would say that this poisonous man who was destined not to open his mouth would not reveal half a word at all, so he could only give up and continue his boring march process.

Actually, Fu Quan didn't know about this until Jia Xu entered the barracks, and he happened to bump into Duan Xuan and saw Jia Xu calling "grandson" one by one and laughing, which made him know about this trend. After all, Duan Xuan is the younger brother of Duan Cheng, and after Jia Xu called Duan Cheng his grandfather at that time, naturally Duan Xuan is also qualified to be called his grandson, which has become an interesting story. Of course, Jia Xu himself is not afraid of losing face, but it doesn't matter, as for Duan Cheng himself, he doesn't mention this matter, in the hearts of the big people, they naturally don't have any thoughts about this kind of thing, and Jia Xu is a life-saving move, of course, there is no need to care.

In addition to Luoyang, the army went all the way west according to the meaning of Duan Cheng, and after passing the Hanhan Valley Pass that is more than ten zhang high, connecting the Yellow River in the north, connecting Yiyang in the south, and crossing the mountains and rivers for countless miles, it will enter the ancient road of Cuihan that has a long history and has a long history.

Under the scorching sun in July, I walked into the Chonggang Stacked Fu, the continuous Cuihan Ancient Road, I actually felt quite cool, I don't know whether it is about to be autumn so it is getting cooler, or the ancient road is a solemn and desolate atmosphere is frightening.

Since ancient times, the ancient road of Cuihan is because of its dangerous position, is the place where the armor must fight, the first Qin Spring and Autumn Period, the famous battle of Qin and Jin Dynasty was fought here, and I don't know if the war nearly a thousand years ago, there are still undead here has not dispersed.

Hundreds of miles of severe ancient road, later generations known as "all day long, no square track row riding place", can be described as "the car is not parallel, the horse is not parallel", from which we can know the sinister road, want to come to the ancestors here to carry out the big war, there are many people because of this treacherous road, for which they died.

The march of the army to this place slowed down even more, after all, if there was a non-combat attrition without a fight, it would not be beautiful, so it took several days to kill the generals. Fuquan couldn't help but sigh all the way why that Li Tang Taizong had the poem "Cuihan called the land dangerous, and the two capitals were strong" to praise this ancient road, indeed if the central dynasty did not collapse from the inside, as long as there were enough troops, anyone who wanted to kill and run into the capital from this ancient road had to consider how many lives they would have to pay, no matter if the capital was on the east and west side of the ancient road, it was the case.

Finally, after the army left the ancient road with a disgraced face, not long after, they saw a desolate Xiongguan blocked in front of everyone, although it has been no longer reinforced and repaired for hundreds of years, but its solemn and majestic momentum, still makes people stunned.

Until I walked in, and then looked at the majestic Xiongguan, I saw that the pass was engraved with the word "Hongnong", which couldn't help but make people sigh, after all, before the Han Dynasty, this place was called Hangu Pass.

Now, with the continuous change of national policy of the two Han Dynasty, there is no longer the Xiongguan where the Qin Dynasty was not afraid of the joint efforts of the six countries, and it has only become the preferred place for the Han family to migrate, and the change of status is really unacceptable.
