Great Military Division

Chapter 69
Hangu, Yique, Taigu, Guangcheng, Luyuan, Xuanmen, Xiaopingjin, Mengjin.

These eight passes surround Luoyang, collectively known as the Eight Passes or the Eight Passes of Luoyang.

In 188 AD, in order to appease the endless Yellow Turban remnants, Emperor Ling of Han did two great things.

One: Change the post of governor to state shepherd;
The second is to set up a commander at the Eight Passes of Luoyang, collectively known as the Commander of the Eight Passes.

If you want to truly escape, you must not only escape from Luoyang, but also pass through the checkpoint and escape into Nanyang.

The southern gate of Luoyang is composed of four gates: Yique, Taigu, Guangcheng and Luyuan.

Among them, Yique, Taigu, and Guangcheng are connected to the Nanyang Basin;
The Luyuan Pass is connected to Yingchuan, Yuzhou.

of course!

This does not mean that if you flee from Luoyang to Nanyang, you must take the Yique→Guangcheng line, or the Taigu→Guangcheng line, or you can go south from Luyuan Pass to Yingchuan, and then cross the Fangxia Road from Yingchuan to reach Nanyang basin.

Therefore, the Alliance of Counsellors and Divisions proposed to let Shi Zizhen inquire about the guards of the four southern passes, rather than the guards of the three passes connecting the Nanyang Basin. In a sense, this provided a set of alternative routes.

Route 1: Luoyang → Yique (Taigu) → Guangcheng;
Route 2: Luoyang→Luyuan→Fangcheng Xia Road;
Route 1 is the closest, but it needs to pass at least two levels, and the road is rough and the difficulty factor is high;
Route 2 is relatively far away, but only needs to pass one level, and it is a plain all the way out of Luyuan Pass, which is relatively safe.

Liu Bian suddenly realized and nodded: "So it is! As expected of an expert, I have a very thorough understanding of ancient geography. I thought that as long as I left Luoyang, I would be completely safe."

"Debate~"

At this moment, the voice of the military division alliance sounded again: "As for the channel connecting Nanyang to Luoyang, it will definitely be used when the princes are attacking Dong. We will try our best to use the Yique and Guangcheng lines this time. "

"of course."

The Alliance of Counsellors added: "If the conditions are really not allowed, then we will go through Luyuan Pass, cross the Xia Road of Fangcheng, and arrive at the Nanyang Basin. The Xia Road of Fangcheng is also very important."

Liu Bian nodded and nodded: "Well, I understand, we will depend on the specific situation."

Military Division Alliance: "Yes, that's what it means."

It didn't take long.

The soup base of the cold hot pot is ready.

Liu Bian returned to the front hall, and after enjoying the delicious meal with Tang Ji, he returned to the bedroom, and wrote down all the things mentioned by the General Division Alliance. Liu Bian, as before, attracted attention, while Tang Ji waited for the opportunity to pass on information.

*****
Luoyang, the inner city.

Shi Ziyi's house.

After receiving Liu Bian's letter, Shi Ziyu exhaled: "Pin Dao can find a way to solve the sacrificial matter, all the people in the imperial court are familiar with Pin Dao, and it will definitely stir up the whole city by then, and cooperate with Shi Hou's actions. ."

"but."

Shi Zizhen frowned slightly and shook his head: "The matter of the guards of the four gates in the south is really helpless for the poor, and General Zhu Tong may be able to solve this matter."

"he?"

Shi A shook his head in embarrassment and sighed: "He might solve it, but he doesn't have time, and his identity is too sensitive. Once his intentions are revealed, I am afraid there will be serious consequences."

"otherwise"

After pondering for a long time, Shi Zizhen said tentatively: "Find some connections with the grain merchants in Nanshi? Luoyang's grains are mostly supplied from all directions and are stored in major granaries. No matter which direction the grain merchants come in, they will inevitably pass through. Luoyang Eight Passes."

"Grain merchant?"

Shi A frowned and pondered, and nodded slowly: "It's okay to give it a try."

Shi Zizhen exhaled: "I declare in advance that the poor people hate merchants, so there is no relationship in this regard. If you have to ask the grain merchants, you can, but if something goes wrong, it is easy to expose."

"Well, I know."

The corners of Shi A's lips raised a slight arc, and said with a light smile: "This matter will be handed over to the next, although I have nothing to do with Nanshi, but the black market is not difficult for me, the Taoist can rest assured."

"it is good."

Shi Ziyi bowed slightly: "It's so good."

Saying goodbye to Shi Zizhen, Shi A rushed to Que Village again, looking for Deng Zhan.

He made the matter clear, and immediately bowed his hands: "I wonder if Brother Deng is willing to help?"

Deng Zhan couldn't help but be surprised: "His Royal Highness has already planned to such an extent?"

Shi A nodded: "Well, I think as long as the route out of Luoyang is solved, the escape plan can really be implemented. Brother Deng has a considerable position in the black market. I guess this matter can't be difficult for you, right?"

"It's not a big problem."

Deng Zhan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "My brothers have people who sell food for a living, but they usually go up from Runan Shuoyingshui, pass Luyuan Pass, and go straight to Luoyang."

"From Guangcheng Pass to Yique Pass, there will be many carriages and horses, and the transportation cost is extremely high. Unless absolutely necessary, few grain merchants will take this route."

Although there is only one line, it is also a huge breakthrough for Shi Ah.

He couldn't wait to cup his hands: "Please also ask Brother Deng to help me!"

Deng Zhanyi waved his hand: "Don't worry, this is not a problem. If His Royal Highness really escaped from Luoyang, I can even arrange for someone to disguise His Highness and Princess as merchants and leave Luyuan Pass and go directly to Yingchuan."

Shi A was overjoyed: "I, Shi Axian, thank you for His Highness."

"Don't rush to thank you."

Deng Zhan hurriedly stopped Shi A and exhaled, "I have conditions to help."

Shi A was stunned for a moment: "I don't know what conditions Brother Deng has? How much does it cost? Just tell me, and I will find a way to get it together."

"It's not about the money!"

Deng Zhan quickly shook his head and immediately denied it.

"That is."

Shi A's tone dragged on and became more curious.

You, the head of hundreds of rangers, who often wanders in the black market, isn't it for money?
Motherfucker!
This is comparable to asking for money, and it makes Shi A worried.

"Brother Shi, we are also good friends."

Deng Zhan waved his hand for Shi A to sit down. Such a formal conversation made Shi A even more worried: "Actually, after I became the head of the family, I really realized the idea of ​​respecting the teacher Wang Yue."

"Tutor?"

Shi A was a little confused.

"Ah."

Deng Zhan nodded and exhaled a turbid breath: "When I was just an apprentice, I only focused on practicing swords, but now that I am the head, my brothers need to worry about eating and drinking."

"I then learned that being a ranger is really not easy. Without a businessman, it is difficult to support myself, and I am a dead man in a family, and I often risk losing my head."

"so."

Deng Zhan stared at Shi A with burning eyes: "I hope that after His Highness escapes, he will be able to take our brothers with him, so that everyone can have a home. We don't want to be lonely ghosts anymore."

hiss~~~
Shi A's eyes were like bells, and he gasped in shock.

He never imagined that Deng Zhanzhan took the initiative to request submission, and all members submitted.

Shi A couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, with a look of disbelief: "Can you tell me why?"

Deng Zhan took a deep breath and said very solemnly: "Although Your Highness is a deposed emperor, if you can get out of Luoyang, you will become a true dragon and soar above the nine heavens. I, Deng Zhan, don't vote at this moment, and when will I wait?"

　Debate asks for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets to help out Luoyang!
