Chapter 227: Hangu Pass

Hangu Pass.

Mo Shuyan and Zhou Yu Han Xin did not encounter any obstacles on the road, and it took some time to finally come here.

"After the Hangu Pass, Chang'an is not far away." Han Xin said with a smile.

"It's not far away, but the current Hangu Pass is mixed with fish and dragons, and it still can't be taken lightly." Zhou Yu reminded.

Looking at the pass not far away, Mo Shuyan also began to be cautious, and before he arrived here, Zhou Yu informed the pass of the situation.

Hangu Pass, according to the plateau in the west, bordering the absolute stream in the east, connecting the Qinling Mountains in the south, and the Yellow River in the north, because it is closed in the valley, it is as dangerous as the letter, so it is called the Hangu Pass.

This place was not paid much attention to before, until Dong Zhuo took the Son of Heaven to move the capital to Chang'an, this west to Chang'an, east to Luoyang's throat was taken seriously, has been Dong Zhuo sent heavy troops to guard, but Dong Zhuo later divided the troops to Lu Bu and Xu Zisheng, under Xu Zisheng's planning, the army here also withdrew a part, only to give Lin Zhong an opportunity.

Although Xu Zisheng knew the importance of Hangu Pass, but after Linzhou's troops attacked Chang'an, it had weakened a lot, and if a large army was sent to garrison Hangu Pass, Chang'an might change, but now, Xu Zisheng has returned to Chang'an, and naturally Hangu Pass has been re-emphasized.

"In the past, Dong Zhuo ruled Hangu Pass, which was suppressed with all his strength and completely mastered, and it also received a lot of backlash."

Zhou Yu looked at Hangu Pass, a little approval appeared in his eyes, and continued: "But now that Xu Zisheng allows the heroes of Hangu Pass to take care of themselves, and only sends a large army to garrison the pass, responsible for the general management and investigation, so Hangu Pass is chaotic and not chaotic, it is because of Xu Zisheng." ”

"Oh?"

Mo Shuyan was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "I can't imagine that there is still a person in the world who praises Xu Zisheng like Brother Gongjin." ”

With a smile on his face, Mo Shuyan was a little disgusted with Xu Zisheng in his heart, a person who could force him to come with the help of a weak woman was already an abomination in itself.

"Brother Du Zhong, don't misunderstand, I'm not right about things, not people, and I don't mean to praise Xu Zisheng." Looking at Mo Shuyan's somewhat reluctant smile, Zhou Yu hurriedly explained.

"It's okay, let's go inside."

"Okay."

Mo Shuyan took the lead along the mountain road to the valley, Hangu Pass was in the valley, knowing that Mo Shuyan was unwilling to talk about Xu Zisheng, Zhou Yu didn't say much, and followed with Han Xin.

Arriving at the Hangu Pass, Mo Shuyan and the three of them dismounted, leading the horses to line up after the people entering the pass, and it didn't take long for them to take their turn, the soldiers guarding the pass, just holding a large stack of portraits, comparing them, and letting them go directly.

Leading the horse into the city, Mo Shuyan asked with some confusion: "Didn't Brother Gongjin say that Hangu Pass is quite valued?" Why it's so easy to get in. ”

"Brother Du Zhong is a little preconceived, and attaching importance does not mean that he is in charge."

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, and then explained: "As long as Hangu Pass is not attacked by a large army, only criminals are prevented on weekdays, and the rest of the people can enter, so some people call Hangu Pass a non-governing pass." ”

"I see." Mo Shuyan nodded and said.

"That's not right."

Han Xin still didn't understand a little, and then asked: "In this way, wouldn't the spies of various forces easily enter Hangu Pass and listen to the news of Chang'an?" After all, this place is not far from Chang'an. ”

"This is naturally another smart place for Xu Zisheng."

Zhou Yu was a little emotional, looked at everything in the pass and said: "There are not many spies from various forces who can come in, but Xu Zisheng put seventy percent of the spies in Hangu Pass to find out the news of various forces, and infiltrate them, so as to grasp the sources of other people's sources and fundamentally eliminate the hidden spies in Chang'an." ”

"Even Zhou Gongzi knows, those forces are not stupid." Han Xin said unconvinced.

"Maybe they're moths to the fire." Zhou Yu replied calmly.

Hearing this, Han Xin suddenly laughed proudly, thinking that he had won Zhou Yu, but Mo Shuyan didn't see it that way, I am afraid that the number of people who can know this secret will not exceed the number of palms.

Thinking of this, Mo Shuyan's eyes looked at Zhou Yu a little vigilantly, maybe Zhou Yu was not as simple as it seemed.

"What is Brother Du Zhong thinking?" Zhou Yu saw that Mo Shuyan was a little sluggish, and asked with a smile.

"I'm wondering if it will be because of Brother Gongjin that we will be targeted by Xu Zisheng's spies." Mo Shuyan smiled back and hidden.

"It's a joke to listen to."

Zhou Yu hurriedly waved his hand, and said with some self-deprecation: "Just rely on me, I can't get into the eyes of Xu Zisheng, so I won't waste manpower on me at all." ”

Mo Shuyan didn't answer, just smiled and continued to move forward.

Hangu Pass because it is built in the valley, and it is also a pass, and it has not been able to build a very grand one, it can be said that the practicality is far more than the ornamental, but in addition to the road, the pass is basically crowded with people, coming and going endlessly, all kinds of people in it or talking, or buying and selling, or tasting tea and eating, so it is not lively.

It happened to be time to eat, and the three of Mo Shuyan didn't want to hang out, this place looked very free, but the dark side of it was not known, and the three of Mo Shuyan also made plans, just stayed to rest, and then left, not wanting to spend the night in Hanguguan.

Mo Shuyan is not the kind of picky person, the original intention is to just find a small shop to eat something, but with Zhou Yu and Han Xin, these days, when I come to a place, Mo Shuyan tries to choose a better restaurant and inn to stay, and Zhou Yu and the two did not refuse, so Mo Shuyan subconsciously thought that the two of them were pampered people.

However, today subverted Mo Shuyan's cognition, Zhou Yu and Han Xin actually took the initiative to pull him to a roadside stall and sit down, and called a few bowls of light noodles, and then ate them.

Mo Shuyan, who couldn't believe it, didn't move his chopsticks at all, just watched the two of them eat noodles.

"Why don't you eat it, isn't it unappetizing?" Han Xin raised his head and asked in surprise.

"Aren't you very ambitious on weekdays? I didn't think you would eat this kind of roadside stall. Mo Shuyan said with a smile.

"It seems that Brother Du Zhong has some misunderstandings, and being able to eat hot food after many days of hunger and sleeping in the open can already make us very satisfied." Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"Why didn't you say it earlier, it took so many entanglements in vain."

Mo Shuyan looked at these two living treasures with some anger, if he had known that this was the case, there would not have been much expense on the road at all.

"You didn't ask us." Han Xin said while eating.
