  Chapter 251 An accident on the road

  It’s already spring, but the weather is still a bit cold.

  Fei Qian remembers that the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty coincided with the Little Ice Age, and crops were the first to be affected by the Little Ice Age.

Humans may be able to wear more clothes and light a fire to keep warm to resist the severe cold, but crops do not have this ability. Especially in the Han Dynasty, many farmers still farmed according to the old emperor's experience. Most of them will want to cry but have no tears.

And food is the foundation of human society, so when the second century AD entered the third century, many big countries around the world knelt down, like Anxi, Guishuang, and Rome knelt down, not necessarily without some weather reasons are included.

  The frozen soil in winter has not yet fully melted, and Dong Zhuo moved the capital again. This year, the Heluo area is estimated to have no harvest...

Although everyone knows that Si Li is so big, even if Dong Zhuo is fat, he still can’t eat it. For example, Hedong County and Hanoi County, Dong Zhuo will basically not move the capital. After all, although these two counties belong to the Si Li Li, but across the Yellow River, even if Dong Zhuo and Li Ru had such a heart, geographical restrictions really made it inconvenient to do anything.

  However, Hongnong County and Henan Yin are important grain-producing areas, and now Dong Zhuo has made such a move...

Originally, Fei Qian was only planning to send Huang Xu to transport the books for the second trip, but one was that he had met Li Rushika, and the other was that the atmosphere in Luoyang City had become more and more strange these two days, and it seemed as if something was about to happen. Feeling uneasy, I simply followed the second convoy to take a look.

  In any case, it is good to familiarize yourself with the route.

   Fei Qian followed the convoy, and Huang Cheng naturally followed, and brought twenty more soldiers.

This time Dong Zhuojun was really serious. When he left Luoyang City, there were checkpoints on all major traffic roads, and there was a group of soldiers watching from the side, as if they would rush over if something went wrong. The atmosphere in the horse crowd was tense.

  Fortunately, there was the "Guo Suo" issued by Li Ru and Fei Qian's status as the servant of the left office, so although he encountered inspections, he did not have too many embarrassments.

Traveling all the way to the west is somewhat similar to Feiqiannan going to Jingxiang, but also somewhat different. Walking from Henan Yin, where Luoyang City is located, to Hongnong County, passing Gucheng is Xin'an, and between these two counties is a world famous Pass - Hangu pass.

  Hangu Pass is actually divided into two, one is the Qin Dynasty Hangu Pass, and the other is the Han Dynasty Hangu Pass. The two Hangu Passes are not in the same place. At that time, in order to prevent the westward advance of the eastern countries, Qin State set up a pass at the western end of the "Miaohan Passage" in western Henan, named "Hangu Pass".

  Later, Chang’an was established as the capital of the Han Dynasty. Just like the two cities in the north, many people were proud of being from the city. So at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, many people were proud of calling themselves “Guannei people”. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was no such name in Hongnong County at that time. There was a man named Yang Pu who was about to be named a Marquis because of his meritorious service in countering the rebellion. Looking for a land cover?

  Because Yang Pu, whose hometown is in Xin'an Nanwan, was unwilling to be a "Marquis outside the Guan", so he wrote to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, willing to contribute his family's wealth, and moved Hangu Guandong to Xin'an County. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also felt that moving the customs would help expand the Guanzhong territory and strengthen the control of the Guandong, so he agreed to his request.

   Since then, there has been Hanhangu Pass.

   Between the two Hangu Passes is an important passage from Kansai to the hinterland of the Central Plains—"Weihan Passage"! The Yellow River is to the north, the Qinling Mountains is to the south, and the only access to Yongzhou in Chang'an is in the middle. The importance is self-evident.

   Fei Qian swayed in the carriage while thinking, once Dong Zhuo retreated into Guanzhong, if he wanted to attack the Chang'an area of ​​Qinchuan, which is 800 miles away, there had been only four routes since ancient times.

  One is naturally the so-called important route "Weihan Passage" between Luoyang and Chang'an. This is the road that Fei Qian is walking on now. As long as this road is blocked at Hangu Pass, the difficult terrain and Xiongguan will make all the generals who lead the attack feel devastated.

The second is to cross the Yellow River from the Yuncheng Basin in the Shangdang area to the west. This road seems to be very wide, but in fact there are not many ferries that can supply the army to cross the river, and it is very easy to be attacked when crossing the river. .

The third road is the road that Liu Bang took when he entered Guanzhong. He crossed the Qinling Mountains from the Nanyang Basin, passed Wuguan Kelantian, and then officially entered Guanzhong. Wuguan, if the Qin Dynasty wasn't the main force and was restrained by Xiang Yu, Liu Bang really didn't have much chance to go through this route.

  The last road is the Longyou road where Zhuge tried to attack Guanzhong in history. Zhuge and Jiang Wei have demonstrated the difficulty of attacking Guanzhong many times on this road...

  So as long as Dong Zhuo retreats into Guanzhong now, these gentry in Shandong, Nanyang and other Central Plains really have no good solution.

   This time Feiqian just wanted to go to Hangu Pass to see this ancient pass with his own eyes, at least he had a preparation in his heart...

After leaving Gucheng for about ten miles, because of Dong Zhuojun's blockade, there were fewer pedestrians on the road, and the whole road was unknowingly only left with Fei Qian's team of chariots and horses walking, the wheels pressed against the sand and gravel. There was a loud noise on the ground, the hooves of the horses and the footsteps of the soldiers, together with the sound of the armor pieces hitting each other, it made the surroundings even more bleak and quiet...

  Walking along, Huang Cheng suddenly shouted among the chariots and horses, ordering the whole army to stop.

   Fei Qian asked, "Uncle Ye, what's the matter?"

  Huang Cheng frowned, looked around, and said with some hesitation: "Mr. Fei Lang, it seems that someone is spying on us..."

  Fei Qian was startled when he heard this, it might not be a good thing for someone to spy on this wilderness. For a martial arts practitioner like Huang Cheng, the six senses are relatively sharp. For example, when he met Huang Zhong in the Huangjia Yinyuan last time, Fei Qian stared at Huang Zhong for a long time and was discovered by Huang Zhong. He noticed someone staring at Huang Cheng on the mountain in front...

The road at the foot follows the mountain. When you reach the foot of the mountain in front of you, you turn inward. The sight is blocked by the mountain. You can't see what's going on at the other end of the road. The Yellow River is not far from the right hand side, and there is no place to detour. .

   "Form and retreat!" Since Huang Cheng has noticed it, he can't go forward for safety reasons. The path ahead is narrow and the situation is unknown. If he moves forward rashly, he is undoubtedly playing with his own life...

Today I read the list of masters again... I remembered Chapter 38 of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Zhuge came out of the mountain, he said: "I have received the kindness of the emperor's uncle's three visits, and I will not let it go. You can work here, and don't waste the barren fields. When I am successful, I will return to hermitage."... I don't know if Zhuge recalled the few acres of land at home when Wuzhang Yuan Xing died...
