Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 307
Hangu Pass is located in the "Two Beijings Ancient Road", bordering the Qinling Mountains in the south and the Yellow River in the north. Because the pass is in the valley, close to the bank of the Yellow River, it is as deep and dangerous as a letter, so it is called Hangu Pass. Whenever the world is in chaos, it has always been the An important pass that Zhen's family must contend for.

Geographically speaking, Hangu Pass is more suitable as the east gate of Guanzhong than Tongguan.

After all, Tongyu is located in Huayin. Geographically speaking, once a war breaks out, Hongnong will be abandoned.

However, Hangu is located in the east of Hongnong, locking most of Hongnong in the Guanzhong area.

After Li Jue seized Hangu Pass, he left [-] soldiers to guard Hangu Pass. The guard Hu Feng was Li Jue's nephew, and he led troops under Li Jue for several years. He is highly valued by Li Jue.

Being able to guard Hangu Pass shows that this person is somewhat capable.

Hu Feng also lived up to Li Jue's expectations, and defeated Luo Zheng's plan to seize Hangu Pass many times.

On this day, camp in the city.

Just as Hu Feng finished his tour of the barracks, a small scout rushed in.

"General, urgent report from Huayin!"

The scout Xiaoxiao said loudly, very excited.

"Hua Yin?"

Hu Feng's face darkened, and he shouted: "Speak!"

Xiao Hou scouted excitedly and said: "Our military intelligence agency found out the news in Huayin, and Luo Zheng personally led [-] cavalry to Huayin."

"what?"

Hu Feng's face suddenly changed, and he said in a concentrated voice: "Luo Zheng personally led five thousand cavalry to Huayin?"

The scout Xiaoxiao replied: "Exactly!"

Hu Feng frowned and said, "Is there a mobilization of soldiers and horses in Guanzhong?"

Scout Xiaoxiao said: "No soldiers and horses gathered in Guanzhong."

Hu Feng was even more puzzled, and said: "Then what is Luo Zheng going to do? Is it possible that he still wants to rely on five thousand cavalry to attack Hangu Pass? Such a brain-dead thing, Luo Zheng can't do it?"

Xiao Hou said: "It should not be a sneak attack on Hangu Pass. According to the detailed report, Luo Zheng personally led [-] cavalry, crossed Keshui under the support of Xiliang water army, and went north to Hedong."

"North to the east of the river?"

Hu Feng was even more puzzled, "Why did Luo Zheng lead the army to Hedong?"

Xiao Hou scouted hesitantly: "This, could it be to attack Xihe?"

Hu Feng frowned and thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what Luo Zheng was going to do, so he waved his hand and said: "Explore again!"

"As ordered!"

The scout Xiaoxiao agreed and ran out immediately.

However, at night, scouts reported that several small roads sailed down the river.

Hu Feng's expression moved. Although Luo Zheng's organization of the navy is secret, it is impossible to hide from Li Jue's secret work.

Li Jue separated from Sili. Since Luo Zheng defeated Guo Si and Zhang Ji to rule Guanzhong, Li Jue regarded it as a beast, so how could he not guard against it? He seized Hangu Pass to block Luo Zheng's eastward entrance.

The secret work sent out spread all over Guanzhong, and the matter of forming a navy could not be buried in Li Jue's eyes and ears.

Since the fall of last year, the Xiliang water army has often appeared on the river, but they sailed at night when they bypassed Hangu Pass. Although they found it a few times before, they didn't catch anyone. After all, they wanted to catch the Xiliang army. It's not easy either.

As long as the Xiliang navy didn't come out in full force, there would be no need to go all out.

However, the current Xiliang army is acting strangely. If they can catch a few Xiliang navy troops, they will be able to ask a question or two.

"How many boats are there?"

Hu Feng asked in a deep voice.

The scout Xiaoxiao replied: "There are three boats."

After thinking for a while, Hu Feng said decisively: "Look for some boats, and be sure to catch some Xiliang sailors!"

"As ordered!"

The little principal cupped his hands slightly and ran out immediately.

After about an hour or so, Xiaoxiao Xiaoxiao came back with a few scout soldiers.

"General, I caught it!"

Xiao Hou waved his hand, and several scout soldiers immediately escorted a drenched Xiliang soldier down.

Hu Feng asked: "Who are you, I'm here from the truth."

That Xiliang soldier pouted his neck and said, "You son of a bitch!"

"Bold!"

Hu Feng's face darkened, he slammed the table and shouted, "You still kneel down?"

Goudan spat hard and cursed: "I only kneel down to my lord, what are you!"

Hu Fengqi's face turned green, and he really wanted to chop this fellow with a knife.

Several scout soldiers rushed forward, knocked Goudan to the ground, and kicked him hard.

Goudan knew that there was no way out of being caught by Hu Feng. Anyway, Governor Gan Ning had already promised to help him take care of his family. With the idea of ​​pulling a back even if he died, he struggled desperately, and bit a scout soldier as soon as he shook his head thigh.

The scout soldier let out a scream, and was bitten off his thigh.

A scout soldier grabbed Goudan's hair and kicked Goudan so hard that Goudan let go of his mouth.

"Bitch!"

Goudan spat out blood fiercely, his face was very ferocious.

Hu Feng got up, slapped Goudan a few times, and asked fiercely: "Say, what did Luo Zheng go to Hedong?"

"I bother!"

Goudan spat out at Hu Feng, and cursed: "Even if I know, I won't tell you!"

The veins on Hu Feng's forehead twitched, and he really wanted to kill this fellow with a knife, so as not to keep it an eyesore.

It's just that the news he wanted was not dug up, so he couldn't just kill this guy just like that.

"Pull it down and interrogate it!"

Hu Feng waved his hand in annoyance, not wanting to see Goudan again.

Several scout soldiers agreed, and immediately dragged Goudan out.

After more than half an hour, under all kinds of tortures, the news was finally dug out from Goudan's mouth.

"what?"

When Hu Feng got the news, he was taken aback, "Luo Zheng is going to lead five thousand cavalry from Gaodu to the south to attack Xuchang?"

"Exactly!"

The scout Xiaoxiao replied: "In addition to raiding Xuchang, we also need to rob people."

"This……"

Hu Feng had a ghostly expression on his face, and he said after a long while: "This bandit really doesn't change his nature as a bandit! This is why he only robbed money and food before, but now he even robs people. However, from Hedong to the Central Plains, you have to go through Zhang Yang and My uncle's site, Luo Zheng, even if he can grab the population, how can he transport it back to Guanzhong?"

Xiaoxiao scratched his head and said, "This villain doesn't know."

Hu Feng walked back and forth for a while, waved his hand and said: "Exploring again, pay close attention to the movement of Luo Zheng's army."

"As ordered!"

The scout Xiaoxiao agreed, turned around and ran out.

Three days later.

Seeing that the sun is about to set, the west gate of Hangu Pass has been closed.

Hu Feng climbed to the top of the city to inspect the city defenses, and was about to return home when he saw beacon smoke rising several miles away.

"General, there is a situation!"

Chengmen Primary School's expression changed, and he immediately said in a loud voice.

Hu Feng's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Quick, go and see what's going on."

"As ordered!"

The little school promised, and immediately ran down the wall.

When it was getting dark, Xiaoxiao finally came back.

"General, dozens of large ships have been found on the river twenty miles away!"

The little school said quickly, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Big ship?"

Hu Feng was startled for a moment, and then his eyes froze, "Could it be that the Xiliang Navy failed?"

The little school replied: "It should be!"

Hu Feng's face became more serious, and he asked in a deep voice, "Have you ever found out how many soldiers and horses are on board?"

The small school replied, "Less than a thousand people?"

"what?"

Hu Feng was stunned, frowned and said, "Less than a thousand people?"

The little school said, "Exactly."

Hu Feng wondered: "How is it possible, does Luo Zheng think that less than a thousand sailors can break through Hangu Pass?"

The little principal scratched his head and said, "General, those ships seem to have a lot of food and grass."

"forage?"

Hu Feng was even more puzzled, "You read it right, kid?"

The Xiaoxiao said: "There should be no mistake. The warships of the Xiliang Army have a deep draft, which means that the things on board are heavy. They are all filled with sacks. It should be food and grass!"

Hu Feng was puzzled and said: "Could it be that the Xiliang water army is coming to deliver food and grass to our army?"

The little school said: "This, the villain doesn't know. However, Luo Zheng is going to go around from the east of the river to Shangdang, and then go south from Gaodu to cross the river to attack Xuchang. Will the Xiliang water army deliver military supplies to Luo Zheng's army? "

"shit!"

Hu Feng scolded: "That guy Luo Zheng is a robber. Wherever he hits and grabs, how can he transport food and grass!"

The small school glanced at Hu Feng, and said cautiously: "General, although Luo Zheng is plundering, he never robbed the people, and he did not plunder again when he attacked Guanzhong and Hanzhong."

"Well!"

Hu Feng was stunned, and said: "Your boy also has some truths. Guanzhong and Liangzhou have planted golden rice. Luo Zheng's fellow has no shortage of food and grass. He transports the food, and then grabs the population from the Central Plains and transports them back to Guanzhong. It also makes sense!"

The little school rolled his eyes and said, "General, should we rob the Xiliang army of food and grass?"

As soon as Hu Feng's eyes moved, he thought about it.

Since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he not only recruited troops wantonly, but also increased taxes. By the time Li Jue separatized Luoyang, the more than two million people in Sili had already been overwhelmed.

Li Jue was not good at governing the local area, and the army rations he could collect were getting less and less.

Hu Feng's army is also short of food. If they can grab this batch of food and grass, they will be able to spare for a while.

After a little thought, he made up his mind.

Hu Feng asked: "How many ships can our army recruit?"

"This one……"

The small captain hesitated and said: "There are not many fishermen nearby, so we can only recruit twenty or thirty fishing boats at most. Moreover, the warships of the Xiliang navy are all large ships, and the fishing boats are too small to accommodate a few people. I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with the Xiliang navy. .”

Hu Feng frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Go, first send people to cross the river and climb to the cliff on the other side. If the Xiliang water army sails around Hangu Pass at night, they will hit them with rolling wood and stones, and first support the Xiliang army. The Liangshui Army will talk later. Then order people to hurry up and make a batch of rafts, and they will rob this batch of food and grass no matter what."

"As ordered!"

The little school promised and ran out immediately.

Hu Feng thought for a while, and was still a little worried, so he immediately went to supervise the matter in person.

More and more people fled Sili's family, but the food production was getting less and less. After last year's autumn grain went to the ground, the number of troops collected fell by [-]%. Li Jue had no choice but to send troops to plunder Chenliu and Yingchuan. and Nanyang.

Hu Feng didn't have much military rations, so no matter what, he had to rob this batch of rations. (It’s a great event to drop pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!
