At the same time, Yang Ding also sent troops from Baling South to Wuguan.

In order to prevent Li Dao's cavalry from pursuing, Yang Ding destroyed the bridge at Baling. And send scouts to clear the surrounding spies and hide their whereabouts.

Yang Ding led 5,000 soldiers not to take the official road, but to take the Lantian Valley, although the mountain road was a little more difficult, but it saved a lot of time to reach Wuguan.

Although Li Dao and Guo Yan in the townships and counties along the way had deployed troops, these soldiers and horses were too few to stop the march of the 5,000-strong army.

Chang'an City, Li Daofu Zheng

"Yang Ding is restless and guarding himself, but instead the soldiers are going south, what does he want to do?"

After Li Wei got the news of Yang Ding's southward departure, he was furious.

During these days, Li Dao and Guo Yan discussed and were preparing to get rid of Hu Zhen and Yang Ding, receive their subordinates, and then confront Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Li Dao tried to contact the Xiqiang and Di tribes, but the commanders and chieftains of Qiang were convinced of Dong Zhuo and did not agree with Li Dao and Guo Yan.

They no longer provided warriors and war horses for Li Dao and Guo Yan's army, but were close to Ma Teng and Han Sui. As a result, those powerful families in Xiliang broke off relations with Li Dao and Guo Yan one after another.

"Whatever? The general could take the opportunity to disobey the military order and remove Yang Ding. ”

Left and right openings.

Because Baling was closer to Chang'an, Li Dao was the first to learn about Yang Dingjun's movements.

As for Hu Zhen's movements, Li Dao could not get it until at least dusk.

"Send 5,000 cavalry to capture Yang Ding alive, if you resist, you will be killed!"

Li Dao ordered his subordinates.

……

Hongnong, Jiaxian.

The west of Jiaxian County is Hangu Pass.

Hangu Guanxi is based on the plateau, east of the river, south of the Qinling Mountains, north of the Yellow River. It is the earliest Xiongguan fortress built in Chinese history. Because it is locked in the valley, it is as dangerous as a letter, so it is named.

The pass is located in a deep and dangerous valley, the terrain is dangerous, and the narrow place can only accommodate a carriage to pass, the so-called "the car is not on the track, and the horse is not on the bridle". Moreover, due to the undulating hills and hills of this section of the Yellow River Basin, blocked by Zhongtiao Mountain and Kunshan Mountain, the bottom of the Hanguan Valley has become the only east-west flat passage in the nearby area, and it has naturally become a military stronghold.

Hangu Pass was very important during the Qin and Han dynasties, even if it was 400 years old in the Han Dynasty, Hangu was no longer of strategic significance, and it was still not abandoned. It was only in the Tang Dynasty that the Yellow River was drained from the soil and the banks appeared, and Hangu Pass was no longer in danger, so it was gradually replaced by Tongguan.

At this time, Liu Fan had already led his soldiers and horses to Jiaxian, where Zhao Yun's military camp was stationed.

It is only fifty miles away from Hangu Pass.

Xun You, Zhao Yun, and Duan Xuan welcomed Liu Fan into the barracks.

In addition to Zhao Yun's dragon cavalry, there are also 10,000 infantry from Duan Xuan.

Fifteen thousand people, wanting to capture Hangu Pass is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Liu Fan and the others didn't plan to storm Hangu at all, they were all waiting.

When, Liu Fan led the soldiers and horses to advance to Hangu Pass.

The Xiliang soldiers on the Hangu Pass, after learning that the enemy soldiers were about to pass the pass, hurriedly blocked the gate and went to Chang'an to inform Li Dao and Guo Yan.

On the wall, the Xiliang soldiers stood vigilantly, thunder stones and rolling wood, bows and arrows were ready to prevent Liu Fan from suddenly attacking the fortifications.

"Hangu is dangerous, one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open. If it weren't for the rebellion against Yang Ding and Hu Zhen, Hangu Pass would never have been able to take it. ”

Liu Fan came to Hanguguan for the first time, and looking at the surrounding terrain, he was shocked.

Generally speaking, Hangu Pass is like a gourd land, with a cliff in the east and cliffs on both sides, so that the nearby land of thousands of miles can only be entered from the mouth of the gourd. Therefore, the shadow is a mud pill and the east seals the letter valley".

Hangu Pass is the only Xiongguan in history that can withstand a million-strong army.

With such a brilliant record, the most important thing is that it is impossible to spread out the army under Hangu Pass, and some of them will die as many as they come.

Millions of corpses are ambushed, and blood is flowing. Liu Fan can imagine this kind of scene.

"Compared to Hangu, Wuguan is more preferable. If Yang Ding and Hu Zhen do not fall. With the talent of the general Zhengnan, as well as the 40,000 troops outside the Wuguan, it is not impossible to advance into the Hundred and Two Qin Pass. In addition, you can also put more effort into Fenglingdu. ”

Xun You, who was beside him, said to Liu Fan.

"Yang Ding, Hu Zhen, I concluded that the two of them would surrender, one is that I had a shallow relationship with them in my early years. The second is that Li Dao and Guo Yan are too possessive and can't tolerate Yang Ding and Hu Zhen. It's just that it's easy to enter the customs, but it's too difficult to level Guanlong and Liangzhou! It is important to know that Liangzhou is not only Li Dao and Guo Yan. Ma Teng and Han Sui are also great enemies, and the heroes of Liangzhou openly rebelled against the "rebellion", building dock fort barriers, and Qiang and Di are my henchmen. ”

Liu Fan nodded first, and then melancholy.

"Zhao Yun is willing to charge into battle for the prime minister, go to the soup and go to the fire, and the dragon cavalry will crush all the enemies of the big man!"

Zhao Yun immediately bowed his hand.

"Zilong's courage, the cavalry I brought this time, only Long Xiang rode on, went straight to the hinterland, and the heavy responsibility of weaving through the 'interspersed' in a roundabout way was handed over to Zilong."

Liu Fan said with relief.

"The last general has just voted for the prime minister, and he has no merit, and the Liangzhou Erlang under the command of the last general also wants to hang the iron and copper leaf on his chest and become a real soldier. The courage to charge into battle, our army also has a lot! ”

As soon as Liu Fan's words fell, Duan Xuan bowed his hand to Liu Fan.

Liu Fan has a large number of soldiers and a huge system!

But all those who have iron leaves on their armor, without exception, are soldiers who have been on the battlefield and killed the enemy.

For the soldiers and horses under Liu Fan's command, there is no iron leaf on his chest, and he will not be valued by other soldiers.

Three armies stationed in front of Hanya Pass.

Duan Xuan's subordinates from the near to the pawn, none of them hung iron leaves.

Most of the soldiers on the dragon horse were hung with copper leaves, and those who hung iron leaves also had at least four pieces. Zhao Yun, the main general of the Long Xiang Cavalry, was hanging a golden leaf.

Ordinary people think that this is just a piece of gold, but the soldiers think that this is a great military achievement, this is glory and wealth, and this is a waiting general. The merit of gold and silver is a phrase that generals often motivate their soldiers, and it is also what soldiers pursue.

For example, Liu Fan's personal guard dragon sparrow has copper leaves hanging on his chest, and the momentum exuded when the army is reorganized can make people retreat.

"Good! Although our army attacked in three ways, it would only enter the pass in two ways, and after the soldiers and horses under the command of Zheng Gaoshun captured Fenglingdu, they would be stationed to guard Fenglingdu, beware of fish that slipped through the net and escaped from Fenglingdu. Gongming led 20,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry in Weinan, and I led you to pacify Weibei. The credit is everywhere, it depends on whether the soldiers dare to take it desperately! ”

Liu Fan stroked his palms and praised.

The first batch of soldiers and horses in the customs was less than 60,000, and after Shanxi and Sili stabilized a little, Liu Fan would also recruit the second batch of soldiers and horses into Guanlong.

Liu Fan wants to use 100,000 soldiers and horses to run rampant in the Western Cool Land!

Among the five Hu, the Xiongnu and Xianbei were destroyed, and the Qiang and Di tribes were sent to the Xiongnu and Xianbei people.

"Fame is reserved for the brave, and none of us are brave."

All the generals spoke.

"Hmm!" Liu Fan nodded slightly, and then ordered the soldiers: "Send flexible soldiers to climb on the cliff and look at the Hangu Pass in a safe place." Once there is an abnormality in Hangu Pass, the strong crossbowman immediately goes to attack the problem. ”

"No!"

The generals commanded.

Let me think about it for a while, and let's do it again.
