There is enough Li Pu's travel, starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 54
After Li Pu broke through Hangu Pass, he galloped all the way towards Tong Pass.

Tongguan is not a really built Xiongguan at this time, but a narrow terrain with dangerous terrain.

Not only was the terrain dangerous, but it was only half a day's journey away from Chang'an. As long as Li Jue didn't lose his mind, Tongguan would have accumulated a large number of soldiers.

If the delay is too long, some fortifications are established by Li Jue and others, and the difficulty of breaking Tongguan will increase rapidly.

Li Pu was on the road, galloping all the way to Hongnong, once Hongnong was close to the Yellow River, and the two waters surrounded by rich materials.

Today, there is only a broken city wall left in Hongnong, like a lonely city outside the Great Wall.

The once prosperous city is now lifeless, like a dead city, but a few remote villages outside the city are somewhat alive.

"Why is this happening here?" Li Pu was stroking the tall city wall, a little puzzled.

"The general did not know that since Li Jue, Guo Si and others broke Chang'an, the two of them have no ability to govern, which made the already dilapidated Hongnong even worse. In addition to the drought in the past two years, many people have lost their lives. You can receive it, but you have to pay for it.”

Jia Xu took a sip of water and continued.

"And once Li Jue and others asked for money and food, their subordinates would search everywhere. A big city like Hongnong was even raided more than a dozen times a year. The residents of the city had no choice but to flee to other states and counties in the prime of life. They fled to the countryside, and a big city like Hongnong fell into disrepair in two or three years.”

Jia Xu glanced at the scene in the city and shook his head.

"What about the former powerful officials and eunuchs?"

"The general is joking, the emperor is regarded as a plaything by those two, so what are those officials and eunuchs?"

Li Pu understood that no one could escape in this troubled world. The troubled world was like a whirlpool that involved everyone and could not escape.

At this time, Li Pu not only wanted to complete the task, but also wanted real peace in the world, and the people could live and work in peace and contentment.

Seeing the hell on earth, you will naturally yearn for a prosperous world.

Li Pu shook the axe in his hands and walked away silently.

Li Pu rested overnight in Hongnong City, and continued on his way during the day.

On the third day, Li Pu came to Tongguan, which is full of mountains, and Fan Chou was stationed between the mountains and the Yellow River.

The [-]-strong army is strengthening its fortifications day and night.

When Li Pu came, a huge camp had been built. The whole camp was made of huge stones, and a high-level wall was built with wood cut down from the mountains.

The entire level was completely sealed off. Fan Chou didn't even leave a door when he built it, and he went in and out entirely by hanging from a bamboo basket.

"Such a dangerous pass, it is not lower than Hangu Pass." Jia Xu stood on the mountain to observe.

"What about the danger? I will break it!"

"Gong Yu, do you have any thoughts on how to break this level?" Although Li Pu said harsh words in front of Jia Xu, Li Pu was still helpless in the face of such a dangerous situation.

There is no door, that is to say, even if he enters the pass alone, De Fali's soldiers can't enter in large numbers, and they still have to fight Fan Chou in a tug-of-war.

And Li Pu looked at it during the day, and Fan Chou prepared a lot of bows and arrows and rolling stones.

After all, there are as many things as there are on the mountains on both sides. If they attacked violently, not only would the soldiers suffer heavy casualties, but they would not necessarily be able to capture them, which gave Li Pu a headache.

"General, since it is impossible to break through in a short time, it is better to build some large-scale equipment first, try the effect, and see if Fan Chou's arrangement is really flawless." Ju Shu cupped his hands and said.

"Let the soldiers try it first." This is the only way at present.

In the next two days, the officers and soldiers of the Fali Legion built siege equipment such as building, car, and ladders.

The building car is to build a car that is about the same height as the level, with soldiers holding bows and arrows standing on it, which suppresses the defenders on the level.

But it is useless, Tongguan terrain is dangerous, and only three buildings can be allowed to travel at the same time.

Fan Chou stored a large amount of fire-starting objects in the pass, threw them onto the building with a trebuchet, and then ignited them with a rocket.

The building was instantly engulfed in flames, and dozens of soldiers were burned.

Li Pu could only choose to retire temporarily and make another plan.

"Haha! What if Pan Feng is a famous general in the world? Isn't he stuck here and can't move?" Fan Chou picked up a piece of meat and ate it in two bites.

"The general is mighty!" A person beside Fan Chou whispered flatteringly, but his words changed.

"But does the general know what happened in Chang'an?"

"Huh? Tell me in detail! Did that Zhang He break Chang'an?" At this moment, Fan Chou was most afraid of an accident in Chang'an City.

He knew that Zhang He led an army of [-] to attack Chang'an, and Li Jue and Guo Si confronted Zhang He in Gaoling.

If Li Jue and Guo Si were defeated, no matter how strong he built Tongguan, he could not escape death.

"Don't worry, General, that Zhang He is still in Gaoling, but the defenders in Chang'an City have all been replaced by Li Jue and the others?"

"This……"

"The general is confused, Li Jue and the others clearly want to hold the emperor to escape in case of a break or defeat, and let Pan Feng throw the rat's weapon. The emperor is a talisman."

It was only at this time that Fan Chou realized that Li Jue and Guo Si now have the emperor in Chang'an City and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty as amulets, so they can retreat completely even if they are defeated.

What about him?Just a Tongguan just completed.

Now both of them have amulets, and he is the only one who is bare.

Fan Chou was a little flustered in his heart.

"What about the three thousand soldiers I stayed in the city?"

"They were all transferred to Gaoling by Li Jue because of the tension on the front line."

"what!"

Fan Chou was furious, and with one kick he kicked over the case with chicken, duck, and fish in front of him.

"I'm here to guard Tongguan, but the two of them are thinking of running away!"

At this moment, the closed horn sounded again, and the sound of woo woo spread into the big tent.

Fan Chou threw the bowl in his hand ruthlessly, and went to the gate with a gun.

Li Pu stood outside the gate, watching the soldiers climb the gate wall. After finally climbing the stone wall, he was pushed down by the gate guards.

The two-story wall is really difficult to climb, and the lives of soldiers and soldiers have been killed and injured in vain.

Li Pu had no choice but to call Jin to withdraw his troops and let the soldiers retreat.

"General, since Tongguan is unbreakable, why don't we bypass Tongguan?" Jia Xu stood up at this time.

"How to get around? If the big army is transferred, Fan Chou will doubt it. If the small army crosses the river, it will not play a big role, and it will be half-passed by the defenders."

Jia Xu smiled and pointed to a ferry crossing on the map.

"Look, general, this is Pubanjin, the local defenders are empty, the general will carry [-] soldiers to cross the river from here, you can bypass Tongguan and attack Chang'an!"
