Hangu Pass was one of the eight passes of Luoyang, and it guarded the western barrier of Luoyang.
This was because this place was located on a plateau in the west, a mountain stream in the east, Qinling Mountains in the south, and the Yellow River in the north. It was extremely dangerous and dangerous. It was one of the most powerful passes in the world.
When Li Jue, Guo Si, and the rest of the Western Liang Army had mobilized their forces to attack the capital and rescue Dong Zhuo, they had actually left behind a thousand soldiers to guard Hangu Pass.
This was also Jia Xu's plan. If their rescue failed this time, they could attack or defend. They could even return to Liangzhou through Hangu Pass.
That was their real territory!
However, just as Li Jue and the rest of the Western Liang army left, a group of uninvited guests arrived at Hangu Pass.
To be precise, there were four uninvited guests!
With their superb martial arts skills, they easily climbed up Hangu Pass. Then, under the incredulous gazes of the Western Liang soldiers guarding the pass, they swept through the pass like dried weeds and crushed rotten wood.
"Who are you?"
The general of Hangu Pass clutched his chest and looked at the four of them with hatred and fear."We are the Western Liang Army! We are Dong Xiangguo's direct troops! If Dong Xiangguo finds out that you have trespassed Hangu Pass, you will definitely die!”
"Don't say such words to fool a three-year-old child.”
Amidst the rolling of the wheelchair, Wu Qing's face was as pale as snow as he said expressionlessly,"
"The Western Liang Army is rushing to the capital because of the news that Dong Zhuo was beheaded by His Majesty. Dong Zhuo, this thief, has caused chaos in the court and has been ordered by His Majesty to kill his entire family. Are you soldiers still going to be stubborn?”
Ruthless might seem heartless, but it was cold on the outside and warm on the inside. After all, the Western Liang army had more than 200,000 soldiers. If they were allowed to continue being stubborn, they would definitely be wiped out!
If he could make them repent and be saved, saving a life was better than building a seven-storied pagoda.
Unfortunately, the Western Liang general did not realize anything. He said arrogantly,"Haha! With that kid Liu Bian? Our Western Liang Army has more than 200,000 soldiers! If they attacked the capital, they would definitely flatten Luoyang!”
Puff--
While the sound waves were still spreading in the air, Coldblood's sword pierced through his heart. His voice was cold but pointed to the core,
"For the high-ranking generals of the Xi Liang Army, it's already a grave crime for them to follow Dong Zhuo's rebellion. They won't surrender, nor will they wake up. Instead of wasting time, it was better to cut the Gordian knot!”
Coldblood rarely spoke, but every time he spoke, he would point to the core and clarify the pros and cons.
Iron Hand stepped forward and took out the seal of Hangu Pass from the chest of the general. Then, he came to the battlements and looked at the ordinary soldiers who were retreating step by step with fear on their faces. He said gently,
"His Majesty has ordered! Dong Zhuo arbitrarily abolished the emperor and intended to rebel. He should be executed! The general of the Western Liang Army had helped a tyrant commit a crime that was unforgivable! But the capital's Imperial Guards and the ordinary soldiers of Luoyang's Eight Gates are innocent. As long as you surrender, we can let bygones be bygones!”
The capital already had many armies, such as the West Garden Army and the Imperial Guards. They were originally He Jin and He Miaoyuan's troops, but later fell into Dong Zhuo's hands.
To these soldiers, there was nothing they could do. Military orders were like mountains, and they could only obey. They did not even have the ability to resist.
The soldiers guarding the pass below looked at each other, their faces filled with fear and hesitation. However, in the end, no one knew who was the first to throw down their weapons, triggering a chain reaction and everyone surrendered!
Iron Hand was very satisfied that these soldiers understood the situation and did not make unnecessary struggles. He spoke again. Although his voice was soft, it could suppress all the noise.
"Open the gate of Hangu Pass now!"
Immediately, the city guards opened the gates of Hangu Pass.
Iron Hand planted the signal flag. Not long after, the sound of horse hooves shook like the rolling of an earth dragon. In the midst of the flying dust, an elite cavalry that could not be described with words approached.
When the soldiers guarding the city saw this cavalry, their eyes widened bit by bit, and their entire body and mind were filled with fear!
Not long ago, the Western Liang Army had been stationed here. There were more than 100,000 soldiers and the elite Flying Bear Army of the Western Liang Army!
However, even though the Western Liang Army and the Flying Bear Army were known as the strongest armies in the world, they were worlds apart from the army in front of them!
The soldiers guarding the city understood that even though they only had a few thousand soldiers, if there were more than 200,000 Western Liang cavalry here, the two armies would definitely be defeated!
Snow Dragon Riders!
Liu Bian's most elite cavalry!
He was also the undisputed number one cavalry in the Great Han Dynasty!
When they entered Hangu Pass, they were like a flood of steel. Although he didn't say anything, he was like a stabilizing needle that suppressed Hangu Pass!
"I'll leave Hangu Pass to you!"
Tie Shou said gently to the commander of the Snow Dragon Cavalry.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty! No one can cross Hangu Pass unless they step over our dead bodies!”
The Snowy Dragon Cavalry bowed in the direction of Luoyang. Their loyalty to Liu Bian was beyond words.
"If that's the case, we'll be setting off for the capital!"”
"Don't let anyone hurt His Majesty!”The Snow Dragon Cavalry commander said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, they don't have the right or the ability!”Iron Hand was gentle and confident.
After chatting for a while, the four famous arresters set off once more. This time, they were not heading to the other checkpoints in Luoyang, but directly to the capital.
This was also their plan!
Liu Bian had ordered Zhuge Zhengwo to lead the Snow Dragon Cavalry to the capital, but the details, the execution plan, and the problems to be resolved were all up to them.
It was naturally impossible for His Majesty to personally handle such details and trifles!
Zhuge Zhengwo personally came up with a plan to take down the eight passes of Luoyang and use the Snow Dragon Cavalry as the base to guard the eight passes of Luoyang.
This was to prevent the other warlords from taking advantage of the situation and to surround the Western Liang army. They would not let a single soldier go!
They took advantage of the time when the Western Liang Army received news of the eight passes in Luoyang and dispatched their entire army to the capital to save Dong Zhuo, easily taking the eight passes.
After all, the easiest way to break through the fortress was to open it from the inside!
Hangu Pass was the most difficult pass in their plan, and it was also the pass with the most Western Liang troops.
After Li Jue and Guo Si left, the result was obvious. They had easily taken the pass and sent the Snow Dragon Cavalry inside to defend!
The Western Liang army stationed at the Eight Gates of Luoyang had all gathered in the capital. They had also taken eight levels in succession, like an invisible giant net, surrounding him from behind.
