The villain system of Mingyue in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 353 The Fortress of Guanhe and the Danger of Hangu Road

It's late at night and the road is narrow.

"Sir, there are still five miles to Hangu Pass!"

Under the pine tree, Gao Jianli handed the water bag to Young Master Fusu who was sitting under the tree and said.

Young Master Fusu took the water bag, opened the lid, took a sip, and closed the lid again.

Along the way, commoners and small hats, and other leaders of the Mo family were guarding the young master Fusu, taking the narrow path in order to avoid other people's eyes and ears, and at the same time rush to Guanzhong and return to Xianyang as soon as possible.

As long as you pass Hangu Pass in front, you will reach the boundary of Guanzhong behind.

Hangu has an important position both economically and militarily.

As the east gate of Guanzhong, it is one of the four fortresses in Guanzhong.

There are many passes in Guanzhong, but the most important ones are Hangu, Wuguan, Sanguan and Xiaoguan. Among them, Hangu Pass is the top priority of Qin's economic strategy.

Han Valley borders the plateau to the west, Juejian to the east, the Qinling Mountains to the south, and the Yellow River to the north. Its pass is located in the middle of the valley, and the terrain is extremely dangerous. It is the gateway to the east of Qin State.

For hundreds of years, relying on Hangu Pass, the Qin State has resisted offensives from the Six Kingdoms in the Kanto region several times.

The countries united and sent millions of troops to and fro, and they hated Hangu Pass.

Because of the existence of Hangu Pass, Qin State was able to close its gates for farming.

So much so that the current situation is ten times that of Qin Fu Tianxia.

At the end of Qin Dynasty, after Xiang Yu entered the Pass, he carried out a large-scale robbery in Guanzhong. He not only burned down the palaces, but also seized a large amount of wealth and beauties. Later, when Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty settled in Guanzhong, Xiao He restored Guanzhong's economy to a certain extent. During the Chu-Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was still able to compete with Xiang Yu of Wangjiu County for the world by relying on a piece of Guanzhong that was smashed. From this, we can see the economic power of Guanzhong.

The prosperity of Guanzhong is not comparable to that of Guandong. This is not only reflected in the accumulation of wealth and food, but also in stability.

Except for the Lao-Ai Rebellion, Guanzhong had hardly experienced much chaos.

Although the Central Plains region is a hinterland with a large population and developed economy and agriculture. However, precisely because it is the hinterland, the countries have been fighting for years, and suffered great damage during the process of Qin's unification of the six countries.

In today's era, the south of the Yangtze River is sparsely populated and has not yet undergone major development. To the north of the Yangtze River and even to the south of the Yanshan Mountains, the old lands of the five kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, Qi, Chu, and Wei have experienced ten years of peace and production has recovered and developed to a certain extent. However, compared with Guanzhong, there is still a big gap difference.

Hangu Pass is right in front of you, but Young Master Fusu is a little hesitant.

Jing Tianming stood in front of Young Master Fusu, looking at Xiongguan in the cliffs and mountains in front of him, and heard the sound of the river surging in his ears.

"Sir, the terrain of Hangu Pass is dangerous, surrounded by dangerous mountains and dense forests. How are we going to get through?" asked Jing Tianming, a giant of the Mohist family.

"Du Yi, the guard of Hangu Pass, is my subordinate. I will send a token to him later and we will be able to pass through after opening and closing the gate."

Young Master helped Su stand up and patted the dust on his legs. Due to riding horses for days, his back was sore. At this moment, he stood up and stretched his muscles.

Jing Tianming nodded and said, "In this way, after the young master enters Han Valley, he will be able to pass without any obstruction?"

"Yes!" Fusu nodded and said, "There will be a big pass called Taosai on the hundred-mile journey."

"Newly built pass?" Gao Jianli asked doubtfully.

"Yes, it was established by the Fourteenth Brother, just after Hangu."

"Hangu Niwan can be blocked, why did that person build another pass later?" Xue Nu asked doubtfully.

Building a military pass costs a lot of resources. Yuki-onna is not familiar with military affairs, but she also knows that this is completely unnecessary!

"Then Young Master, will something happen?" Pirates Zhi asked. Once there were people or things related to Ying Ziyi, the leaders of the Moh family would be a little nervous.

"No!" Young Master Fusu shook his head and said, "I am in charge of the Taosai Yiying project, and all the people under my command are my subordinates, so there should be no problems."

"hehe!"

A silver bell-like chuckle came from far to near, clear and sweet. But in this dark night, the dangerous road in the mountain is indescribably weird and terrifying. For a moment, Big Hammer, Robber Zhi, Xue Nu, and Duan Murong, who were still resting, all stood up, took out their weapons, and were alert.

Among the mountain peaks and ravines, the female figure flashed one after another, and soon appeared in front of a group of people, leaving everyone in the Mo family standing aside stunned.

Such a light skill, even if it can't compare with Robber's Foot, it's not far behind. Who is this woman?

"Taoist Zong Wangyou has met His Highness the Young Master!" the woman bowed Yingying and said.

Young Master Fusu seemed a little surprised, and the people and things in front of him had a strange energy.

Why is this woman here? How did she know she would be here?

"It turns out she is Princess Wuyou of the Zhao Kingdom." Young Master Fusu was not rude, and he knew the woman's identity very well. "I wonder why the princess is here?"

"I'm here to save your highness." The woman was of extraordinary beauty. The night was foggy and the Tsinghua University was pouring down. Her plain white skin seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, like a mountain elf.

"Why did the princess say this?"

"Ying Ziyi has entered the main pass, and Du Yi, the guard of Hangu, has surrendered. The young master will be dead or alive when he leaves."

The woman said slowly and in a smooth tone, as if this was not a big deal.

"What!" Except for Young Master Fusu, the rest of the Mo family looked frightened.

Gao Jianli even asked: "Wangyou, are you serious about this?"

"It's absolutely true." Wangyou said. "Five days ago, Ying Ziyi entered the pass. Now, his minions have taken over the guard from Taosai to Hangu."

"This is impossible. How did Ying Ziyi enter Guanzhong? From Yunzhong to Guanzhong, it was more than a thousand miles and there were many checkpoints. What's more, even if he entered Xianyang, how did he control the armies in various places in Guanzhong?" Young Master Fusu asked. "

Even though the news of the emperor's death had spread throughout Kanto, according to the distance traveled, Yun Zhong should have just received the news at this moment, and Ying Ziyi was in a hurry.

Of course, there was one more thing Fusu didn't mention. Nearly a hundred masters went to Yunzhong, how did Ying Ziyi escape?

Fusu relied on this time difference to enter Xianyang first and take control of the court.

Fusu didn't understand, so he hoped Wangyou could give him an answer.

"Prince Qin is cunning and has been on guard for a long time. It is common sense that a prince's benevolence and righteousness cannot be ignored. After the news of Prince Qin's death came from the clouds, all forces relaxed. In addition, the defenders of Jiuyuan had already surrendered to Ying Ziyi. With this, He traveled all the way without any obstacles." Wangyou said.

"Then young master, what should we do now?"

Jing Tianming turned around, looked at Fusu, and asked.

"Young Master, now that things have come to a point, there is only one way to go!" Wangyou's eyes flashed as he looked at Young Master Fusu.

The other party stands tall in Panasonic. Even in the face of such drastic changes, he is still fearless in the face of danger and has a deep bearing.

"If you can't pass Hangu, you can't enter the pass. What's more, even if you can enter the pass at this moment, it will be of no use. In this way, there is only one way to go."

Young Master Fusu took a deep breath. Although he had already started preparing, he did not want to take this path.

Introduce the troops from Guandong and enter Xianyang to establish a position!

Chang Wenjun was about to go to Xingyang with the emperor's coffin, hoping to use it as a logistics base. At the same time, soldiers and horses from Chenjun, Yingchuan, Dongjun, Hanoijun, Sishui, Handanjun and other counties attacked Hangu and entered Guanzhong.

These counties were originally the old territories of Wei, Qi, Zhao and Chu. The soldiers recruited, except for a small number of Guanzhong disciples, were all local soldiers, and the generals were mostly surrendered generals from various countries.

Young Master Fusu believed that with his years of management and his prestige, he should be able to grasp it.

But in Master Fusu's plan, this was just a bad idea. Because if the army rises, it will inevitably cause turmoil. Moreover, if Shandong is in chaos, those old clans and rivers and lakes forces of various countries will definitely be ready to move, especially the Tian family of Qi State and the Xiang family of Chu State, which should not be underestimated.

Young Master Fusu thought for a while and then focused his eyes on Wangyou who was about ten steps away.

This woman is very scheming and seems to have everything figured out.

Fusu suddenly became wary of Wangyou.

"Princess, what is the purpose of coming here?"

Wangyou smiled and said, "Young master, you don't have to be like this. Now that Zhao Xie is dead, the Zhao Kingdom's clan has been wiped out. Even if I want to restore the Zhao Kingdom, I no longer have the manpower."

"What's the purpose of the princess?" the woman said, but Fusu became more and more vigilant.

"I don't want to see Ying Ziyi sitting in the ninth position in the Qin Palace in Xianyang City." Wangyou said slowly, with a sense of sadness in his tone.

"Princess Wangyou."

Everyone present, including Xue Nu and Duan Mu Rong, had spent some time with Wangyou, and their relationship was deep or shallow.

I thought of the former young master Xiong Xin, and of the Prince Qin who toyed with them wantonly.

Wangyou, and even Wangqiao, these two are undoubtedly the most injured.

Xue Nu and Duan Murong felt somewhat sympathetic to Wangyou's mood at the moment.

"I understand!" Young Master Fusu said. At the same time, he said to Yi Qian, the leader of the Moh family: "Everyone, I would like to trouble you to send me back to Xingyang City again."

"Young Master has his destiny, and he will do whatever he wants."

The leaders of the Mo family said with their hands.

….

The hunting wind is cold and the night is dark.

On the wall of Hangu City, Ying Ziyi stands in the wind.

"Your Highness, everyone from the Mo family has not arrived yet."

Monkey half-knelt beside Ying Ziyi and said.

"Looks like something went wrong."

If calculated according to time, Young Master Fusu should have been here long ago, but in another hour, the sky will turn white, and he still hasn't seen anyone from the Mo family.

"What about us?" Monkey asked tentatively.

"You take a group of people and go to investigate."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The monkey's figure disappeared from the top of the city, followed by hundreds of civilian swordsmen behind him.

There were only a dozen generals left on the empty city wall. Han Xin came over and said, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

"Go through Guanzhong and enter Xianyang." Ying Ziyi said with certainty.

There are 300,000 people in the Great Wall Corps, most of which are located in Jiuyuan, Beidi and Shangjun. Without the emperor's will, these soldiers and horses cannot enter Guanzhong. There are more than 200,000 legions in Guanzhong, most of which are stationed in pass cities everywhere, and the elites accompany the emperor on his eastward tour.

Ying Ziyi led three thousand cavalry down the Yellow River, passed Pubanjin, entered Taosai, and then controlled Hangu Pass.

However, there are not many troops around him now.

"Han Xin, take the tiger talisman and go to Longxiang camp quickly to mobilize 50,000 troops and station them in Bashang." Ying Ziyi took out half of the tiger talisman from his sleeve, handed it to Han Xin and said.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Han Xin said, holding the talisman and coming down.

The Longxiang camp is full of young people who have been recruited by the empire since childhood and trained. They are a team loyal to the imperial family. To be more precise, he was an emperor loyal to Qin.

Like Xiao Yuying in Wuchecheng, most of them are orphans and come from various countries. The empire selected him for his bravery and put him in the camp. He began military training at an early age and invited great Confucian scholars to teach him.

Of course, having to bear all the expenses for so many people from childhood to adulthood is a huge expense. Most of this comes from taxes from Wuchecheng and tributes from various countries in the Western Regions. The tiger talisman that mobilized them had already been in Ying Ziyi's hands before he was demoted to guard Yunzhong.

Now, more than ten years have passed. Although they are teenagers and have not experienced war, they are still a force that cannot be underestimated.

"Peng Yue."

"My subordinate is here!"

"Three thousand riders gathered in Taosai and followed me to Xianyang."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Peng Yue raised his hand and walked down the city wall.

As long as you control Xianyang, you can then enter Control Pass. Controlling Guanzhong, you can attack if you advance and defend if you retreat. Winning Ziyi is equivalent to being in an invincible position.

……..

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

On the narrow mountain road, a group of people from the Mo family escorted Young Master Fusu and walked eastward quickly.

Behind him, the figure of the civilian swordsman appeared from time to time, and a death hunt was staged on this mountain road.

The Mo family came this time, in addition to the leaders, there were also a dozen Mo knights, all of whom were extraordinary skill rangers. However, compared to the hundreds of prefectural-level swordsmen in Luowang, the absolute gap in numbers cannot be made up.

Thunder flashed in the sky, and huge hammers flew in the air.

The power of the wind and thunder was swift, and the big hammer struck down, forcing the assassin behind him to retreat.

Gao Jianli was beside him, and the Shuihan sword rose. The biting cold air even turned the water mist in the air into frost, dancing like snow. As Shui Han's Qi circulated, the soft snowflakes turned into tiny ice thorns, stabbing at the pursuing swordsman behind.

"The situation is urgent at this moment. Your Highness, please leave quickly, we will stay behind."

After Jing Tianming finished speaking, he jumped off the horse. The leaders of the Mo family chose a narrow pass to block the Luowang swordsman who came to pursue them.

"Brother Wang!" Young Master Fusu shouted. He had no choice but to slap the horse's buttocks and quickly walk away.

"Are there any remnants of the Mo family?"

On the cliff, Monkey squinted his eyes, looked at the dozen men in black blocking the intersection, and murmured in his mouth.

"Sir, Young Master Fusu has already run away. Those people are blocking the intersection and we can't get through."

"It doesn't matter." The monkey smiled, pointed at the people of the Mo family, and said, "Tonight, all the remaining gangsters will be wiped out here!"
