The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 20
Jingxing is one of the "Eight Xings of Taihang". Jingxing is named after its topography. According to "Taiping Huanyu Ji", when King Mu of Zhou was hunting in the east, he came to this place and saw "the square is high, the center is lower, like a deep well, It is like a kitchen, so it is called "Jingxing".

Jingxing is named after its topography.One is called "the world is in danger", and the other is called "strategists must fight".Jingxing is also known as the sixth fortress of the nine fortresses in the world.

In history, the famous battle of Han Xin's back-to-back formation to conquer the state of Zhao happened in the Jingxing area.

Although Xu An had known about the dangers of Taihang Baxing before, but even so, when Xu An saw Jingxing for a moment, he couldn't help taking a breath.

I saw that there were several high mountains that towered into the clouds in the north, and some low earth-rock mountains and forests in the south, which surrounded Jingxingguan, like the edge of a well surrounding the bottom of the well.

The galloping road in Jingxing Pass passes through Guanmen and goes straight to the northwest mountains and canyons, and on the plain between Gukou and Guancheng is the riverbed of the Mianman River.

The limestone peaks and peaks are ups and downs, the cliffs are steep, the heavy forests are lush, and the halls and lofts of Jingxing Pass are hidden among the ancient trees at the foot of the mountain, revealing tranquility, elegance and solemnity.

From the foot of the mountain to the mountain along the stream, there are strange rocks along the way, the roots of the trees are intertwined, and the appearance is strange.The watchers are all terrified.

At this time, it was a cloudy day again, the wind was blowing, and there were three or two beast calls coming from the mountains and forests, which made people feel horrified.

In the pre-Qin period, the world was galloping, and almost ten horses could run in parallel everywhere on the road, but in this Jingxing, "cars can't square tracks, and horses can't be lined up".

Liu Pi looked at Jingxing in the distance, turned his head to look at Xu An, and gritted his teeth and roared, "Is this the Jingxing you're talking about?"

Gong Du grabbed Xu An's Mai Yi and roared angrily: "We spent three or four days climbing all the way to this ghost place, as long as there are more than [-] officers and soldiers in this Jingxing Pass, the two hundred of us have to Die here!"

Although Xu An was also frightened by the danger, he also knew that he must not show the slightest timidity at this time, otherwise he would have no prestige in the team of two hundred people.

He doesn't want to live that kind of precarious life anymore. He must master this team. Although there are only two hundred people, these people are all veterans of hundreds of battles and tough soldiers on the battlefield.

Xu An frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then immediately retorted.

"If you've read the book, you should know that Jingxing has been an important transportation route since ancient times. There have been no wars in Jingxing for hundreds of years, and you have lived a comfortable life for hundreds of years. If you are an old guard of customs, what is your normal life like? Every day I am worried, and I muster a hundred thousand spirits to see if there are any enemies?"

"This……"

Gong Du was taken aback by Xu An's words, and then saw Xu An's assertive expression not seeming to be fake.

In my heart, I felt that what Xu An said was really good. If he had been a veteran guarding the customs for hundreds of years, he would probably not have much awareness of prevention, and he couldn't help but murmured for a while.

Liu Pi did seize the loophole in Xu An's words, snorted coldly and looked at Xu An with a bad face, and retorted: "Didn't you say before that Taihang bandits are rampant? How could the officers and soldiers guarding Jingxing not be on guard? "

Xu An cursed inwardly.

However, his expression did not change, and he continued: "The thieves of Taihang Mountain are in the west, and we have rushed all the way from the east, walking in the forest. Seventeen people of Pao Ze died in the deep mountains and forests because of this, unless the guard of Jingxing was a prophet. Otherwise, how would you have expected us from where we were?"

Xu An took a breath.

"The Han army in Jizhou has already won the victory, but the Jingxing defender never expected that a yellow turban escaped from Xiaquyang and dared to attack Jingxing."

"Xia Quyang battle, Jizhou Han army gathered in Xia Quyang, the guards here must not be old soldiers in the battlefield, dozens of soldiers who have not passed through the battle, how can one Han general stop us?" He stepped forward and stood there. In front of Liu Pi, he said, "If you don't go to Taihang Mountain, where do you think the two hundred of us should go?"

Liu Pi opened his mouth to say something, but unfortunately he didn't think of a better way. He took a step back and could only say: "But now we don't have any siege equipment, how can we capture this Jingxing?"

"Remember the inn we passed by before?"

Xu An's eyes narrowed slightly, he had already thought of this joint on the way here, and at this time he was also confident.

"The official documents are all there, and the guards also have the clothes and armor. There are several shelters near the Jingxing Pass to pass by at night. I roughly estimated that thirty people can be hidden. As long as the door is opened and closed, the Jingxing guards will not be afraid. ."

Xu An looked around at the yellow angels surrounding him, and said to Liu Pi, "I'm going to pretend to be a courier to cheat to open the city gate. You and Gong Du only need to lead people to ambush outside the gate. If we succeed in cheating. Open the city gate, you will enter the gate to help us, if you are seen through, you can turn your head and leave."

Xu An stared at Liu Bi, watching Liu Bi's face turn blue and then white, Gong Du clasped his hands beside him and didn't speak, after a while of silence, Liu Bi sighed, bent down and made a series to Xu An.

Xu An looked at Liu Pi who edited him in surprise and asked, "This is you?"

"A certain way, the words are offensive, and I ask Xu Qushuai to forgive me. What Xu Qushuai said is indeed the best way now."

Liu Pi sighed again, looked at Xu An and said, "Actually, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you on purpose, but this time Qu Yang was defeated, and hundreds of thousands of Pao Ze died in the battlefield. I feel really uncomfortable."

Sitting on the stone, Xu An also remembered the old events of the Yellow Turbans at that time.

After being silent for a while, he said: "From Guangzong to Xia Quyang, they were chased by the Han army like a lost dog. The more than [-] robes in Guangzong and the hundreds of thousands of robes in Xia Quyang fell to mine one by one. Beside me, my tears have already dried up."

"The Han army said that we are chaotic people, rebels, and moth thieves, but we are? We didn't want to rob him of the emperor of the Han Dynasty. We just wanted to fight for a way to survive, but the emperor of the Liu family refused!"

"He is the emperor of the Liu family sitting on the high palace, and I am not even as good as the ants on the ground in his heart. I am not reconciled, I am really not reconciled, why is it so difficult for us just to live, but they You can be intimidated and let the grain and meat in the warehouse rot! Why? Who can tell me why?"

"So, I want to live, I want to fight into the Taihang Mountains, I want to gather all the thieves in the Taihang Mountains, and I want to go to Naluo (Luo) Yang and ask the emperor! I want to ask him why Refused to give us a way to live!?"

Xu An stretched out his hands to look at Liu Pi and Gong Du, with a resolute look on his face, he said solemnly: "I want to save the [-] robes that died in Guangzong, and the [-] robes that died in Quyang. All the people who are here to take revenge, are you willing to help me?"

"Heaven is dead."

Liu Pi's hand took Xu An's outstretched left hand.

"Huang Tiandang stands."

Gong Du's hand took Xu An's outstretched right hand.

"The age is in Jiazi."

Xu An also tightly held the palms of the two of them.

"Good luck to the world!"

The surrounding yellow angels responded in unison.
