The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 657 Critical Moments
Huo Qubing pondered for a moment, and then said: "This is also a good strategy. Hangu Pass is a natural danger of the Qin State. Once it is captured, there will be no natural dangers in the old Qin land. At that time, it will definitely be given. Qin Guo's life-seeking blow!"

"That's right!" Shi Jin, who had been silent all this time, said with a smile, "What General Xiahou and I think is exactly that."

"At first, I was a little worried that General Xiahou would be recognized. After all, he is also wanted by the Qin State. Although few people know what he looks like, if he is pointed out at a critical moment, it will be extremely dangerous. And the general has never been in contact with the people of Qin, so the people of Qin will naturally not know about the general."

"Yes, this plan is very good. At that time, Zhang Hanzong will have the ability to reach the sky and the earth. The three of you and I will be able to kill Zhang Han, and then hold the military talisman and order the Qin army to open the city gate and welcome him. When the Jin army enters the city, they will only kill Xianyang!" Xiahou Dun's eyes were filled with murderous aura.

"It's not too late, you and I are leaving now!" Huo Qubing stood up and was about to leave.

Naturally, the two of them didn't say anything, they waited for Huo Qubing to pack up some things casually, and hurriedly set out on the road.

On the border between Qin State and Jin State, the army patrolled very closely, but since Huo Qubing could survive in the cracks of a line, he naturally had the ability to deal with these patrolling sergeants.

Xiahou Dun and Shi Jin also felt that their eyes had been opened, and they were not as sinful as last time. They didn't take a bath or wash their face for a month, making them look like they just climbed out of a cesspit.

As soon as the interrogating soldier came to his side, he kept retching, and let him go without asking any questions.

Huo Qubing was wearing a battle armor and carrying a single-hook gun, and walked over carelessly, but he didn't come forward to ask anything.

It was Xiahou Dun who heard some news, saying that Huo Qubing was in the border area between the two countries, and he didn't know how many bandits he killed. The generals defending here felt that such a person must not be a bad person, so Huo Qubing passed , almost never suffer any interrogation.

When he got to his side, Huo Qubing frowned slightly, and said, "This is the merchant I just rescued today. All the people in the team died, and only the two of them survived."

A corporal showed displeasure on his face, and said lightly: "Even if this is the case, we still need to interrogate!"

Xiahou Dun's palms were covered with sweat, but he was holding the donkey and didn't speak, looking very calm.

Huo Qubing said impatiently: "Okay, you go and investigate. From now on, your officers and soldiers will lead the army and go out to suppress the bandits by yourself. I won't serve you anymore!"

"Brother Huo is joking!" A centurion of the Qin Army came out and said with a light smile, "Who doesn't know that Huo Qubing is here, and the bandits with a radius of hundreds of miles are frightened, let them go! Huo Qubing brought them back How could there be a problem?"

When the centurion spoke, the soldiers below naturally didn't dare to say anything, so they all let them go.

Huo Qubing was neither sad nor happy, and he cupped his hands at the centurion and said, "Thank you General, I have come back here to rest for ten days, and I found a gang of rogues in the east, I'm afraid there are hundreds of people, next time When we go out, that's when the gang of rogues will be wiped out!"

"A lot depends on you!" The centurion smiled flatteringly.

The corner of Huo Qubing's mouth twitched a little, as a response to the centurion, and led Xiahou Dun and Shi Jin through the inspection.

Shi Jin heaved a sigh of relief, and led the mule limping to the end. He lowered his head and kept his breath. Who would have thought that was the majestic general who led the army to kill the enemy back then?
Next, the three of them walked to Anyi City and crossed the Great Wall of Qin State in the old days. It took a full ten days before they arrived at Hangu Pass.

The interrogation has become more and more strict along the way. In desperation, Huo Qubing had no choice but to pretend to be a general trilogy (the general's own private soldier) who came back from the Great Qin's Eastern Expedition, while Xiahou Dun and Shi Jin became the ones who were arrested. The bonded slave—

Along the way, the two of them also had disheveled hair, and they almost walked with Huo Qubing with bare feet.

Next, is how to mix into the city.

Hangu Pass is different from other cities, and it will be remembered by a large number of residents.

In other words, many cities in this era enclose a large area of ​​land to build the city and defend against the enemy.

Inside the city, not only the places where the troops are specially stationed, but also the places where the citizens live.

This is the most common type, but there are exceptions to everything. There is also a type of city in which there are only garrisons and no residents.

All the people in this city are professional soldiers.

Hangu Pass is such a city!

The ancients often said that being close to the country is solid, but it is a natural danger.

The solidity of this Wei letter refers to a place - Hangu Pass!

Xiaoshan is Hangu Pass, and Hangu Pass is Xiaoshan.

Or to put it in a simpler way, Hangu Pass was built according to Xiaoshan Mountain. The city wall is tens of feet high, and it is completely a cliff.

People outside want to break in, it's almost a dream come true.

Behind Xiaoshan Mountain is a small stone city. After artificial construction, it has become an impregnable pass!

Although Xiahoudun used to work under Cao Cao, it was the first time he saw Hangu Pass.

The pitch-black city wall stands here, and it is truly the most perfect masterpiece of mankind.

It's just that Xiahou Dun came here not to appreciate the majesty of Hangu Pass, but to assassinate the owner of this magnificent pass——Zhang Han!
It took everyone a day to find out the garrison in the city. It was beyond their imagination. There are [-] garrisons here!
It is said that after the emperor of Qin State occupied Xianyang City, he was careful that something would happen at Hangu Pass, so he mobilized the army again, and the number of defenders here increased a lot.

"No matter what, we are here now, so we must give it a try!" Huo Qubing refused to admit defeat. He rode on the horse, looked at the two people beside him, and then cupped his hands and said:
"You two, I've worked hard for you this time. If it succeeds this time, the three of you and I can have a good time at the celebration banquet. If it fails, with the two of you as companions on Huangquan Road, we won't be alone!"

"Okay!" Shi Jin clenched his fists and said excitedly, "I, Shi Jin, crawled out of the pile of dead people back then. Do I still fear death now?"

"The ancients said that if you have a confidant, you will die without regret. I, Xiahou Dun, have spent half my life and met two brothers. How can I have any regrets?"

Huo Qubing didn't say anything else, holding a rope in his hand, he walked slowly towards the Xiongguan in front of him.

The other end of the rope was tied to Xiahou Dun and Shi Jin respectively.

From the outside, the rope is very tight and complicated, but only the three of them know that the rope itself is very simple, as long as you grasp a certain position and apply light force, it will all fall apart immediately...

"call out--"

Walking a bit tighter, the Qin army on the tower immediately shot an arrow and stuck it in the dirt in front of Huo Qubing.

"This is Hangu Pass, an important place for military strategists, retreat without incident!" A warrior shouted loudly on the tower.

Huo Qubing reined in his horse and said loudly: "I am from the old Qin Dynasty in Xianyang. I responded to His Majesty's call and went out to search for more than a year. I caught two generals wanted by the court, Shi Jin and Xia Houdun. The adults on the tower go to report, and the villains come to collect the reward!"

Hearing this, the general on the tower couldn't help asking loudly: "Why don't you go to the nearby government to ask for merit, what are you doing here?"

When Huo Qubing heard this, he couldn't help laughing in his heart: "This warrior from the Qin Kingdom is quite clever, and he wasn't fooled by what I said."

"Look, general!" Huo Qubing held the single-hook gun on the saddle in his hand and raised it high.

"The villain has learned martial arts by himself. Now I dare not say that he has the ability to be an enemy of thousands of people, but he still has the ability to be an enemy of a thousand people. Going to the government is just to get some rewards. I heard that General Zhang Han sent a letter Guguan, now is the time to employ people. The villain is conceited that he has some skills. Now he just caught two generals who are wanted by the court. He has already shown his skills. Now I hereby ask to see General Zhang Han. I just want to be in the army. A certain position, worthy of what I have learned in this life!"

What he said made sense. It is also an indisputable fact that the people of Qin State advocate force.

The general on the tower shouted loudly: "Wait here, I will report to General Zhang Han now, if he doesn't want to see you, you can leave by yourself and go to the government to ask for a reward!"

When Huo Qubing heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, so he shouted loudly: "Wait a minute, general, bring my single-hook gun to General Zhang Han. General Zhang Han is a master in the army. When you see my single-hook gun, you will know What I said was true!"

After saying this, Huo Qubing slowly drove his horse forward and came to the edge of the city tower. The general above lowered the rope and hoisted Huo Qubing's single-hooked gun up.

It takes a lot of effort for the general to hold it in his hand, because it weighs at least a hundred catties.

Just now when he saw Huo Qubing was holding it in his hands, it was as light as a feather, and now he respected Huo Qubing a little more in his heart.

In the general's mansion, Zhang Han had just come back from inspecting the front tower, and he couldn't even let the scouts go outside, the city wall was too high.

But it was not because of this that the Qin State could not inquire about the situation outside Hangu Pass. They had prepared scouts in advance and waited outside. After inquiring about the news, they came outside the city gate at the appointed time.

At this moment, the soldiers on the tower let down the rope and pulled up the message placed in the bamboo tube. ,

Although this method seems very stupid, Qin Guo has been using it for an unknown number of years.

The bamboo tube that Zhang Han is holding now is the news that just came back from outside this morning.

"The army of Jin has been mobilized too frequently..." Zhang Han murmured after reading it.
