Hangu Pass. [ ] rong> access: . Guan is named because it is in the valley, and the danger is like a letter. The pass is based on the plateau in the west, bordering the Jiejian in the east, connecting the Qinling Mountains in the south, and the Yellow River in the north, which is the most powerful fortress in the Qin period.

Hangu Pass is the throat of Luoyang in the east and Chang'an in the west. "It is known as the Tiankai Hangu Zhuangguan, and the ten thousand valleys are shocked to the north sky", "beside the twin peaks and towering rivers, it is said that there is a battlefield in the Hangu Valley since ancient times". Therefore, since ancient times, Hangu Pass has been a battleground for soldiers.

In the third year of King Zhou Shenliang, King Chu Huai raised the army of the six countries to attack Qin, and Qin relied on the natural danger of Hangu, so that the six ** teams ambushed millions of corpses and bleed. In the sixth year of Qin Shi Huang, Chu, Zhao, Wei and other five ** teams committed Qin, and they all went to Hangu, and they were all defeated. Even Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, rejected Xiang Yu by guarding the pass.

This shows the advantages of the topography of Hangu.

However, compared to the Qin Dynasty Han Valley, the Han Dynasty Han Valley is not in the old site. Today's Hangu Pass moved east to 100 miles, and was newly built in Xin'an County in the first year of Zhongping, close to the big river, and was on the Liangjing Road. It refers to Luodu in the east, Chang'an in the west, connects in the south, and depends on the mountains in the north.

Now Hangu Pass, the same as Yique Pass, Guangcheng Pass, Taigu Pass, Yuyuan Pass, Xuan'men' Pass, Mengjin Pass, * Pingjin Pass to form Luoyang Eight Pass.

And the Hangu Pass is more dangerous than the terrain, and this pass stands on the road. And this way is known as the solid of the Kui Han, the Tao of the Kui Han.

On the Cuihan Road, after the surging river goes out of Shaanxi County, from north to south, meets the Qinling Mountains in the south, blocks the Zhongtiao Mountain Range in the north, has to turn east here, goes east between the two mountains, becomes a natural barrier in the north of this road. To the south, it is the remnant vein of the Qinling Mountains from Huashan to the east, which is high and dangerous, and cannot be crossed.

On both sides of the pass, the cliff is steep, the peaks and rocks stand in a forest, the terrain is treacherous, and the landform is clear.

The whole valley road is rugged and narrow, and the empty valley is deep, and people walk in it, such as in the letter. It can be said that the car is not divided into tracks, the horses are not saddled, and a mud pill is sealed in the east of the Han Valley.

Also because of the difficulty of the Cuihan Road, the Han army of 100,000 lions went out, and the supplies were provided by Chang'an.

In the cold wax moon, the cold wind from the west passed through the narrow Cuihan Road, blowing away almost all the faces, and only the bleak yellow was left in the world. The dark yellow stones, 'naked' and 'exposed' all over the body, stand lonely in the mountains. The green weeds and yellow trunks of the trees under the mountain shivered silently.

'Spring' goes to autumn, and they are here watching the people and horses coming and going between the two capitals, and frequently 'communicating'.

However, compared with the past, now I don't know whether it is the arrival of winter or the impact of the war in Xiliang, and the pedestrians on the busy valley road have dropped sharply recently. It wasn't until near noon that a large group of people appeared in a string of 'tick-tock' hooves. Download/rong> I saw dozens of horsemen slowly approaching from a distance surrounded by three carriages.

But it was very strange that the carriage that walked last in the group turned out to be an empty prisoner car. And compared to the well-guarded carriage in the middle, the previous car was slightly smaller, except for the driver, there was only a small car sitting in the wheel.

Not only were the vehicles strange, but the knights on horseback with 'breastplate' armor and their faces 'covered' were also unusual, and now they were not only holding their swords, but they were constantly patrolling the places around where people could hide, as if there was danger in the next moment.

Especially the two strong men in the team, their murderous appearance is even more prohibitive.

Because of the rugged mountain road, the carriage could not help but rise and fall as it went, and when the wheels crossed a small pit, the slightly large bumps shook off the incense burner in the carriage and made a soft noise.

Although the voice was not loud, it alarmed the people who were sleeping and resting in the car: "Where is the pity?" ”

"My brother woke up, the convoy passed Xin'an County, and I heard Qi'er say that it would be ten miles away from Hangu Pass. After passing the road, it is easy to walk, and you can arrive in Luoyang tomorrow afternoon at the latest. Hearing the sound, Jiang Lin, who was cleaning up the ashes in the car, hurriedly turned around and said.

"Everyone has worked hard during this time, and Li'er told Brother Chu that he doesn't need to travel quickly, so he will stay in Guanzhong tonight. Take a break and leave tomorrow. Slowly getting up and leaning against the side wall, Jiang Qi said weakly.

"Okay, after entering the customs, the little sister will go and inform. Is my brother better? As Jiang Qi moved, Jiang Lin hurriedly supported him and covered the quilt and said with concern.

"It's okay, a little bit of wind and cold, just rest more." Regarding his sister's concern, Jiang Qi reluctantly smiled and said. However, although it is easy to say, Jiang Qi also knows that he has not been in a good state since he fainted that day, and after a long time of hard work, it is impossible to recover as before without more than a month of good adjustment, not to mention that he is still infected with a wind chill.

"That's fine, if my brother wants to sleep again, it may take an hour to enter the customs." Jiang Lin could see what her brother was thinking, but at the moment she didn't want to cause trouble to her brother, so she immediately obeyed.

"No, the mountain road is rugged, and I can't sleep well, my little sister is tired, why don't you take a break." Looking at the girl who had lost a lot of weight, Jiang Qi felt distressed and said with concern. And recently, Jiang Qi has also found that the little sister has matured a lot this time.

"My little sister is not tired, since my brother is not tired, why don't my little sister play a song for my brother to relieve my fatigue?? Yes!!! ”

"Bang Bang..."

"Protecting the Lord's ......"

In the carriage, Jiang Lin was trying to get rid of his brother's fatigue on the road like a pleaser, but he didn't want to change suddenly. When there was a rapid sound of bangs outside, a crossbow arrow with the thickness of a child's arm braving the cold light carried a strong wind to 'shoot' the carriage through. Immediately, the guards outside the car also shouted in surprise.

In the face of an unexpected situation, compared to the panic of the 'guards', even if he was sick, Jiang Qi was not slow to react. When the crossbow arrow just 'shot' the carriage, Jiang Qi, who felt dangerous, had already turned over to protect his sister beside him, otherwise according to the position of the crossbow arrow's 'shooting', maybe his beautiful sister would die of fragrant 'jade'.

"Don't panic!!" After several degrees of life and death, Jiang Qi had long developed the mentality of not being surprised at every turn, even if it was unpredictable, but he still calmly pressed his sister to lower his body, and at the same time issued an order outside the car.

Not to mention Jiang Qi's might, it can not only deter Xiaoxiao, but also stabilize the morale of the army. When the sound came out, the scene of people neighing disappeared immediately, and then the light in the car quickly dimmed. This is the guard who used his body and shield to block the body of the car that might be attacked.

However, the screams in his ears also told Jiang Qi that he was afraid that this raid would cause heavy losses to his own soldiers.

"What's going on!!" Jiang Qi was sneak attacked, and the angel who walked more than ten steps in front of him was also awakened in his sleep, listening to the shouts of killing, as a eunuch who lived in the palace, he was almost not scared of 'urine'.

"Father-in-law, someone assassinated, assassinated, Yi Yang 、、、!" The little guy sitting on the wheel was as frightened as the eunuch who sent the edict, and he was directly paralyzed when he shouted to kill. Unfortunately, he was unlucky, and instinctively wanted to go in to avoid when he heard the noise in the car, but as soon as he lifted his crawling body to report the situation, a sharp arrow pierced his neck.

Seeing the servant who had fallen and was still 'convulsing', the angel who was already six gods and no owner immediately screamed, as if enchanted, and rushed out of the carriage with his head covered. originally thought that he would be able to 'hand' the errand in Luoyang soon, but where would he have thought that there would be such a thing. Now he just wants to escape from the inexplicable hell.

Unlike the eunuch who was in a panic, after pulling out the sword and removing the shield hanging on the side wall, Jiang Qi carefully escorted his sister to pull the curtain and get out.

I don't know if it was tightly guarded, after the first arrow 'shot' through the carriage, the carriage was no longer threatened, so that Jiang Qi was able to get out of the carriage safely.

The guards outside the car who had dismounted at this moment had already raised their shields to form a shield wall, even if someone fell from time to time with an arrow, but the gap in an instant was blocked again, and the impermeable shield could temporarily make Jiang Qi safe.

But listening to the shouts of killing that are getting closer and closer, everyone knows that this safety is temporary.

"Lord, it's okay!!" Dian Wei, who blocked Jiang Qi's body from removing the carriage and 'sticking' arrow feathers on his shoulders, did not care about his injury, but eagerly asked about the safety of the owner who was only wearing a white 'colored' shirt.

"How's it going!!" Blocked by a large number of shields, he could only hear the sound of killing all over the mountain, and Jiang Qi asked eagerly.

"Wei didn't know, just heard a whistling, left and right 'shot' to dense arrow feathers, the first 'wave' 'shot' down a dozen brothers, now Brother Chu and the front to resist the enemy's attack, Brother Qi and the rear intercept, but also ask the lord to leave quickly." was caught off guard by the ambush, although he felt aggrieved, but the form of the crisis, Dian Wei didn't dare to care, and hurriedly suggested.

In the face of Dian Wei's anxiety, he looked left and right at the dozen or so guards who were still in a circle beside him, as well as Zhou Yu and Jiang Cheng, two boys who swept under the car to avoid arrow feathers.

Almost without thinking, Jiang Qi, who did not flinch in the face of tens of thousands of horses on the battlefield in the past, didn't know if it was because of his injury or because he was frightened, so he didn't refute Dian Wei's intention to let him escape, so he agreed.

Of course, it seems understandable, after all, the valley road is narrow, no matter who faces this game, it is impossible to crack it, and if you hesitate, there is a possibility that the whole army will be wiped out.

I don't know how to do it, maybe Jiang Qi is too unlucky, or maybe this group of people is inexperienced. On such a narrow road, they did not roll down stones to block the way forward. I didn't even think of any other way than to condescendingly release the arrows.

The opportunity was fleeting, and with a roar, when Jiang Qi summoned the lucky uninjured apprentice Jiang Cheng and the nervous Zhou Yu, he hugged his frightened sister and rode on his mount Hei Feng, and in a blink of an eye, he roared away in the protection of the remaining guards. The appearance of running away in embarrassment, and the appearance of General Qilin.

In the process of whistling away, I don't know if the unlucky angel is shining with a lucky star, and he still has all his beards and tails. Seeing this, the benevolent Jiang Qi greeted him, and the personal guard Shunzhi pulled him onto the galloping war horse.

As soon as the war horse was gone, only the Xu brothers who were still desperately resisting, as well as the remaining dozen or so personal guards, resigned themselves to fate.

Perhaps for the guards, the meaning of their lives is to keep the lord alive. But in the face of tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops, Jiang Qi saw that Yan Ming was trapped in the battle, and he returned to rescue him alone. But at the moment, there are only a few dozen sneak attacks, Jiang Qi actually patted his ass and ran away, if he was seen by someone with a heart, he would be considered a wise man.

However, seeing that more than ten riders were gone, it was also unexpected, condescendingly looking at the people who did not flee on the road, still resisting, one of the assassins tied in a white scarf raised the sword in his hand. Immediately, the assassins on both sides of the road raised their crossbow arrows and stopped attacking.

When the shouting stopped, the visitor immediately took off the black scarf with his face and looked at the masterpiece, with a smile on his face. But now the assassination was unsuccessful, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be unreasonable.
