Time changes, before the opening of the Luoyang feast, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang set off from Chang'an to Tongguan on the way...
"Strategist, Tongguan is right in front of you, there must be no problem..."Liu Bei smiled happily and praised: "If the plan of the military division is successful, then Chang'an will definitely be solid and not harassed by foreign enemies!" ”
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he smiled silently, although he had made a plan to include all the four passes of Qin Shi in his hands, and Hangu Pass had been lost, but as long as he took this Tong Pass, it would actually be the same;
In this way, the army can force the Nanyang Basin and go straight to the Central Plains;
In the direction of Pusaka, it can be attacked and annexed to other places;
In the direction of Dasanguan, you can enter Hanzhong and Tubashu;
In the direction of Xiaoguan, it can control Longxi;
In the direction of Tongguan, it occupies the Sanchuan River Valley in Luoyang, which is full of the danger of Kuihan.
This is the most favorable situation for Guanzhong to compete for dominance in the world, and it is also the foundation for the development of the Qin Dynasty during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
In addition, his prudence made Liu Bei send the rest of the soldiers and horses to guard the main roads of the Meridian Valley and the Slope Valley, so that he Zhuge Liang dared to be confident that Chang'an was safe!
However, this series of arrangements and plans is still the closest and most important Tongguan and Wuguan to Chang'an; However, there are two extremely dangerous competitors in these two levels.
"Strategist, you said that Wuguan over there, it might go well?!" Liu Bei looked at Tongguan in front of him, but remembered Wuguan thousands of miles away.
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he shook his feather fan and chuckled: "With the assistance of filial piety, there is also your white-eared guard and its leader, General Chen Zhi, who is in charge. Coupled with those 10,000 soldiers and horses, as long as they can rush to Wuguan before Ji Xu, they will definitely be able to protect Wuguan! ”
"That's good, that's good!" Liu Bei took a long breath, turned to look at the sky, and sighed: "I'm going to Luoyang this time." Strategist, you and Yun Chang take Tongguan, I hope there will be no accidents in this..."
"According to the report from the spies, His Majesty sent a team of 10,000 soldiers and horses from Hangu Pass, and it seems that he also intends to pass this place! Zhuge Liang said, talking, "In recent days, as the teacher and I have joined the lord, many disciples and shops in Jingzhou have been sealed. Therefore, I asked many disciples to go north to the land of Sili and Guanzhong,"
"But even so, we haven't found out the actual situation of the strategists and generals around Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang frowned suddenly.
"What does the military advisor mean that the people around His Majesty are very clever?!" Liu Bei also tightened his heart, but immediately smiled and said: "There are military advisors here, and there are a few people in the world who can talk about wisdom in front of military advisors... Hahaha! ”
Liu Bei smiled, rejoicing in his heart that he was in Nanyang.
"The lord has won the award..."Zhuge Liang smiled with a feather fan. His mind drifted farther and farther away, 'It's just him, right?!' He had been out of the mountains years ago. But there has been no news...'
"Speed up the march!"
……
"Listen, the people in the pass have all been surrounded by our army, and they will come out and surrender quickly!" Guan's young voice sounded under Tongguan; As the son of Guan Yu, he is a core member of Liu Bei's army, and this time he is to train in the army so as to accumulate some credit...
"Whoever descends will not die! …”
'Whoa...' before Guan Ping could say a few more words. The gate of Natong Pass was already opened, and a handsome general dressed in Confucian clothes ran out of it.
"Xiahou Lan and the soldiers and people of the whole pass will meet the emperor!"
The person who came called himself Xia Houlan, who was handsome and spoke fluently with a Hebei accent. When he saw Liu Bei, he bowed his head and bowed.
"Are you?!" Liu Bei stared at Xia Houlan and did not let his guard down.
"In Xiaxiahou Lan, Cao Cao ordered me to build a town here to guard Tongguan!" Xia Houlan replied respectfully.
'Choke! As soon as Xiahou Lan's voice fell, the guards close to Liu Bei immediately drew their swords and unsheathed them
"Slow! Liu Bei waved his hand and drank, looked at Xiahou Lan, and said, "General Xiahou, this is...?!" ”
"Uncle Xie Huang!" Xiahou Lan kowtowed and said, "Since Cao Gong's soldiers and horses returned to Yanzhou and Yuzhou, this Tongguan is like a waterless wanderer, and the coolies and soldiers who are built in the pass have no food and grass supply,"
"Today, the ammunition has long been exhausted," Xiahou Lan said, with a sad expression, and continued: "I heard that the righteous division of the emperor's uncle Xing is here, and he will work in the special switch!" ”
"I hope Uncle Huang will take it in!"
When Liu Bei heard this, he still frowned, stared at Xiahou Lan tightly, and asked, "Your surname is Xiahou?!" ”
Xiahou Lan knelt, and couldn't hear Liu Bei call him to get up for a long time, looked up at Liu Bei, heard what Liu Bei asked, and immediately understood Liu Bei's concerns, and hurriedly explained: "Uncle Huang, don't misunderstand, although his surname is Xiahou, it has nothing to do with the Cao family and the Xiahou family,"
"In Xia, it is a person who is really determined in Changshan, maybe the imperial uncle has never heard of it, but there is a young brother from the same township who is under the command of the imperial uncle,"
"But Zilong?!" Without waiting for Xia Houlan to finish speaking, Zhuge Liang asked.
"Exactly!" Xiahou Lan looked at Zhuge Liang, her eyes lit up, and she said, "This must be Mr. [Wolong] Kong Ming?!" ”
"What Mr. Kong Ming said is good, he is not only a fellow villager with Zilong, but also a little brother," Xia Houlan introduced a little excitedly: "Zilong is talented, he has been good at martial arts since he was a child, and he has learned a good martial arts,"
"I don't have as good talent as Zilong in Xia, and for decades, I have only learned some military criminal law..."Xia Houlan was a little ashamed, "I heard that Zilong was working under the emperor's uncle's account, and I knew that the emperor's uncle was eager to seek talent,"
"Now that I'm desperate, I ask Uncle Huang to take it in! Xia Houlan said sincerely, but he couldn't stand on the ground.
"I see... General Xiahou please hurry up, General Xiahou has worked hard... It's a pity that Zilong is not here, otherwise, the two of you can still get together..."Liu Bei looked at him, since he was Zhao Yun's brother, there was nothing to worry about.
"Uncle Xie Huang," Xiahou Lan suddenly said happily: "Meet the lord!" ”
"Congratulations, congratulations!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Congratulations to the main public soldier for taking Tongguan without blood!" …”
Liu Bei also smiled and waved his hand slowly, turned his head and asked Xiahou Lan again: "I don't know how many people, how many coolies, and how many soldiers and generals are in General Xiahou's Tongguan?!" ”
"Uncle Huihuang, in this Tongguan, because it is still newly built, there are no people, there are only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, but there are nearly 10,000 unarmed coolies!"
Liu Bei listened, looked up at Tongguan, and sighed: "Cao Cao is worthy of being a hero in troubled times, he has such courage, he has chosen such a dangerous place, and he is so strong!" …”
"It's better to be prepared...!"
"Big brother doesn't have to be so depressed, then Cao Cao is also created by the times, his luck is better than that of the eldest brother, where can he compare to the Han clan like the eldest brother..."
"The second brother has an overreputation... Let's go, let's go! When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately stroked his beard and smiled.
……
At the same time, Xu Shu's soldiers and horses also arrived dozens of miles away on the other side of Tongguan...
