Hangu Pass, south of the Qinling Mountains, north of the Yellow River, is located in the ancient road between Chang'an and Luoyang, since ancient times there is "a husband as a pass, ten thousand people do not open" said. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Back then, the Qin State relied on the natural danger of Hangu Pass to kill millions of corpses in the remaining six countries, looked at Guan Xing, sighed, and returned defeated. After Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, entered the pass, he sent a partial division to block the Chu overlord Xiang Yu and his coalition army.

The soldiers of the Flying Tigers marched very fast and reached the Hangu Pass in the evening. During this period, they passed through the Hangu official road with a total length of more than ten kilometers, and people and horses walked in it, such as entering the letter.

The valley is fifty or sixty meters deep, and the valley bottom is about ten meters wide, but the narrow place is only two or three meters, and there are cliffs on both sides, and the terrain is steep.

Cao Ang ordered the army to camp outside the pass, preparing to pass the pass during the day tomorrow, and at the same time sent people to the pass to inform Han Xian, the general of the town guarding Hangu Pass.

This is already the territory of the Xiliang army, so it will be safe here.

The person sent brought an invitation letter inviting Cao Ang to the banquet in the evening.

Cao Ang immediately summoned Le Jin and Niu Jin to discuss countermeasures.

"If you have any ideas, please say them!" Cao Ang asked with a smile.

"Why don't you just drink a drink, what's there to be afraid of!" Niu Jin was the first to speak, glared and said, "No matter how powerful that guy is, he will still be defeated in the hands of General Cao." Besides, when it comes to our Xiliang territory, what kind of wind and waves does Han Xian dare to toss? ”

"General Niu is right!" Cao Ang was noncommittal, and turned his gaze to Le Jin, and said, "What is General Le's opinion?" ”

"I'm definitely going to go!" Le Jin replied with a solemn expression: "It's just that which of us will accompany you, do you want to send elite guards?" Who will rule this place after you go? ”

Cao Ang glanced at Le Jin with some appreciation, he deserved to be a wise general in the army, and his consideration of the problem was relatively comprehensive.

Cao Ang said with a smile: "Just listen to what the two generals said, I will go with General Niu Jin tonight, and ask General Lejin to stay in the camp, I don't know what the two of you think is wrong!" ”

"Thank you, General! My old cow hasn't had a big meal for a long time, and today I just started eating! Niu Jin looked at Cao Ang a little impatiently, and his eyes were full of "I do".

"Don't worry, general, with me, the camp is there!" Le Jin patted his chest and swore solemnly: "Then I will wait here for the good news of the two generals!" ”

If you are happy to enter the camp, you can basically eliminate any possibility of attacking the camp. As long as this army is there, Cao Ang will be very safe in the pass.

I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Han Xian's gourd, maybe it is because he is scared by his brother, right?

This possibility is not ruled out!

Seeing Le Jin nodding, Cao Ang rode off with Niu Jin and came to the edge of Hangu Pass. It's not that Cao Ang doesn't want to lead soldiers and horses, it's not enough to bring less and people stuff their teeth, and it's a little unreasonable to bring more. When you go to other people's territory, you can only listen to them.

Cao Ang made up his mind this time to see what Han Xian wanted to do!

Hangu Pass is an irregular rectangle, each city wall is more than 1,000 meters long, up to more than 20 meters, and occupies the traffic artery.

It's so majestic, it's daunting!

The soldiers defending the city had already discovered Cao Ang and Niu Jin, and their attitude was very respectful, and they were led to Han Xian's residence.

It is located in the center of Hangu Pass, which is a place to deal with official business, and there are two majestic stone lions at the door, and there are two soldiers standing at the door, which is elite at a glance.

"General, please!" The soldiers hurriedly saluted Cao Ang, made a gesture respectfully, and led Cao Ang and Niu Jin into the inner hall.

The inner sanctum is very large and can accommodate dozens of people.

Han Xian was already standing in the center, smiling and waiting for Cao Ang's arrival.

"General Cao is here, Han is far away!" When Han Xian saw Cao Ang coming, he smiled happily.

Cao Ang also smiled and said, "Where, General Han is too exalted by Cao." Let me introduce you, this is General Niu Jin, I believe you have seen it in the morning. ”

Niu Jin still admired Han Xian who could beat him, arched his hand, and said, "I've seen General Han!" ”

Han Xian had already put away the arrogance of no one in his eyes, and took the initiative to lower his posture: "I have offended a lot today, and I ask General Niu to bear more!" After a while, Han will give you a few more glasses of wine, so as to accompany you! ”

Who doesn't like to listen to good words, Niu Jin is no exception, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say!" ”

After Han Xian invited Cao Ang and Niu Jin to the table, he clapped his hands, and the wine and food were quickly served to the table by the soldiers.

Cao Ang ate some casually, and felt that the taste was not bad, and it looked very gentle.

Niu Jin, this guy is very unkind, as if he is reincarnated as a starving ghost, catching big fish and meat, and eating it violently, he is as embarrassed as he wants.

Han Xian toasted vigorously beside him, his tone was respectful and his attitude was amiable, which made Cao Ang a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what Han Xian wanted to do.

Could it be the Hongmen Banquet?

Just drop a glass and you'll know!

Cao Ang looked at Niu Jin, who was eating and drinking, and was angry, and when he saw the wine glass next to Niu Jin's arm, he quickly thought about it.

"There's a lot of delicious food, and no one is robbing you here! Eat slowly! Cao Ang patted Niu Jin's arm heavily and said with a smile.

"Okay, General!" Niu Jin hurriedly withdrew his hand, and as Cao Ang expected, the wine glass fell off the table.

"When"!

After a crunch of the glass, the wine spilled all over the floor.

There were no soldiers at the door, indicating that there was no ambush around.

Niu Jin hurriedly picked up the wine glass from the ground, put it back on the table, and poured himself a glass of wine.

Han Xian proposed to change the wine glass, but Niu Jin rejected it with the rhetoric of "not dry, not clean, no disease after eating".

To tell the truth, Niu Jin hasn't drunk such a hearty wine for a long time, and he finally drank it secretly in Funiu Mountain last time, who knew that Li Le had sweat medicine in it, which made him feel palpitations when he drank.

But this time he drank very heartily, which made him a little lingering.

Han Xian saw that he had passed three rounds of wine, and said in a low voice: "Han has encountered an accident recently, and I hope that General Cao will point out a clear way!" ”

After speaking, he also looked at Niu Jin very meaningfully.

Cao Ang waved his hand and said, "Don't get in the way, General Niu Jin is his own person!" If there is anything Cao can do, Cao will do his best. ”

Niu Jin looked at Cao Ang gratefully, and then set his eyes on Han Xian.

"I heard that General Cao has always had a strategy, outwitted the three cities of Yongning, Mianchi and Yongning, and attacked Funiu Mountain at night, which really made Han admire. Han said it boldly. Han Xian sighed and said, "I am an old friend of Yang Feng, the general of Tongguan, and we are both subordinates of General Li Dao.

A few days ago, Yang Feng sent his subordinates to tell me that Lu Bu, the general of the chariot cavalry, saw that I and other soldiers born and raised in Xiliang were not pleasing to the eye, and wanted to get rid of them quickly!

Lu Bu is the brave champion of the three armies, and there are few opponents! Dare to ask General Cao, what should I do? ”

"Isn't General Han afraid that I will go to Lu Bu to denounce you?" Cao Ang asked rhetorically.

"I believe in General Cao's character!" Han Xian said categorically.
