Looking at Zhang Fei with a blank face, Lu Bu shook his head a little helplessly and said, "How many times have I said it?" Don't be reckless when you get into trouble, and think about what you can do to solve the problem with the least amount of damage. It's good that you know the straight fight all day long, and in the future, An can let me feel at ease to send you out to take charge of yourself? ”

Zhang Fei knew that he had disappointed his eldest brother again with what he had just said, and suddenly scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "My surname is naturally impatient, and my eldest brother should also know." If you want me to be like those scribes, I have to think about it dozens of times all day long, and ponder it dozens of times, so I have to be in a hurry to find something wrong. ”

"Let's not talk about your stinky spleen. If the capture of Hangu Pass this time was by force, it would be impossible to succeed in a short period of time. Don't forget that Hangu Pass was the Qin State during the Warring States Period and blocked the attack of the coalition forces launched by the Six Kwantung Kingdoms! The name of the dangerous pass of the Hangu Pass is made of the white bones in the loess under the pass!

Now since Dong Zhuo's death, Hangu Pass has become the first barrier for Li Xuan, Guo Yan and others in Chang'an to guard against our army, as far as I know, there are at least no less than 30,000 Xiliang troops stationed in Hangu Pass, and there are enough grain and grass for them to eat for several months and enough swords, guns and ordnance for several major battles!

Although what I brought this time were all elite soldiers who could be 10 or even 100 with one enemy, but if I wanted to rely on this 50,000 troops to capture the Hangu Pass held by 30,000 Xiliang troops, without months of fighting and countless damages, it would be impossible to take it! This depends on whether Chang'an will send reinforcements, once Chang'an's Li Xuan and Guo Yan take advantage of the fact that our army and the Hangu Pass defenders are desperate for months to kill, it may not be impossible for our army to be wiped out! Lu Bu looked at Zhang Fei with a serious face. Dian Wei and the surrounding sergeants shouted.

"If you don't kill it, why should our army carefully hide its whereabouts and go around here from the trail near Beibi Mountain?" Dian Wei, who is also a big old man, rushed out directly when he heard Lu Bu's veto, but he didn't understand what to do.

"If you want to break through Hangu Pass in a short time, you can't take it by force, you can only take it wisely, come on, come on, I will tell you the strategy, you just need to do this and this, and then we will do this and that" Lu Bu motioned to Zhang Fei, Dian Wei and Gao Shun, who had just arrived from the rear army, to come over, and Lu Bu carefully explained to the three of them the plan he designed on the road to break the pass

Dividing line

Hangu Guanxi is based on the plateau, east of the river, south of the Qinling Mountains, north of the Yellow River, is one of the earliest Xiongguan fortresses in Chinese history. Founded in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is the throat of Luoyang in the east and Chang'an in the west, known as "the Tiankai Hangu Zhuangguan, the dust of the valley to the north sky", "the twin peaks towering beside the river, a battlefield in the Hangu Valley since ancient times", since ancient times it is a place where soldiers must fight. In the third year of King Zhou Shenliang, King Chu Huai raised the army of the Six Kingdoms to attack Qin, and Qin Yihan Valley was in danger, so that the six [***] teams "ambushed millions of corpses, bleeding and drifting".

Since a few years ago, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army was defeated by Lü Bu in Luoyang, and Li Urg and Guo Yan coerced Liu Xie, the little son of heaven, and the hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty to retreat to Chang'an, Hangu Pass has become the most important defense line for Li Urge and Guo Bi to resist Lü Bu's and state armies. For this reason, even when Li Xuan and Guo Yan were fighting with Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu for the power and interests of Chang'an, they still dispatched 30,000 Xiliang troops and Li Li, Li Xu's nephew, to guard this 'one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open' Hangu Pass.

This day, the sky is clear and the sun is shining, but the weather in June makes people feel unbearably hot. The officers and men of the Xiliang Army, who were responsible for collecting the toll tax under the customs, were all sweating and miserable. However, Li Li, the nephew of Li Xuan, who had already tasted the sweetness of the imposition of this tariff, would not care about the pain of those unlucky people under the customs, he only knew that no matter how much the sun broke, the traders who coveted the huge profits from the sale of goods from Chang'an to the Central Plains would definitely continue to shuttle back and forth to Hangu Pass.

"Cut, the Han people are just useless, and they can't stand it with a little sun? It's all for me! Take a closer look at the vehicles that pass through, and don't let these vendors pay less tax! Otherwise, my Beigong Huang will definitely reward you with a few whips! Beigong Huang, who was born in the Qiang nationality, threatened several Han soldiers of the Xiliang Army at the gate with disdain in the shade of the pass.

The more than ten Han soldiers of the Xiliang Army who were assigned by Beigong Huang to 'bask in the sun' dozens of steps away from the gate of the pass were carelessly collecting the toll tax of each caravan according to the number of vehicles to pass through the Hangu Pass caravan. While relying on the fact that he had a sister who was taken as a concubine by Li Lina, the guard of Hangu, he always scolded Beigong Huang, who was powerful and powerful to them, the low-level Xiliang army.

"Isn't it just a wreck who relied on women to get promoted by the guards, one day on the battlefield, I, Zhang Hua, want to give this kid a good look!" A Xiliang sergeant who had experienced several battles and was covered with scars spat hatefully in the direction of Beigong Huang.

"Hey! Brother Zhang, you see a big caravan coming in front of you. Look at that posture, there are at least nearly 100 people! Another Xiliang sergeant next to him bumped Zhang Hua with his arm, pointing to a caravan of nearly 100 people that was slowly approaching in the distance.

"Damn, isn't our Xiliang Army in Chang'an mortal enemies with Luoyang's Bingzhou Army? Why are these caravans able to shuttle through our Hangu Pass as long as they pay a little toll? Zhang Hua wiped a handful of sweat rolling down his forehead to his cheeks, and he was very puzzled by what was going on at hand.

In fact, as a pawn, how could Zhang Hua know that although there are frequent wars in various parts of the world, for some powerful businessmen, the difference in the price of goods caused by the blockade implemented in various places can allow these businessmen to bribe the officials at the checkpoint and Ghana some so-called toll taxes, and get what ordinary people can't get, and thus get huge profits.

"Stop!" After Zhang Hua waited for the caravan to approach, he and more than ten Xiliang Army sergeants next to him blocked the caravan's way.

The leader of the caravan was a figure of more than eight feet, full of dark and strong muscles, a circle of thick tiger whiskers and large round eyes like copper bells, which made people know at a glance that he was a fierce and unusual figure. Seeing that the sergeant of the Xiliang Army stopped his caravan, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked forward quickly, and the thick hand of Pu Fan stretched out into his arms.
