Chapter 251 An accident on the road

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

Fei Qian remembered that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Little Ice Age happened to encounter the Little Ice Age, and the first thing that was affected by the Little Ice Age was crops.

Humans may also wear more clothes to make fires to fight the cold, but crops do not have this ability. Especially in the Han Dynasty, many farmers still farm based on the old experience of the old emperor. When they encounter the cold weather in spring, they will really cry and cry when they are frozen to death.

Food is the foundation of human society, so when the second century AD entered the third century, many major powers around the world knelt, such as Rest, Kushan, and Rome, which may not be without some weather reasons.

The frozen soil in winter has not yet completely melted, and Dong Zhuo moved the capital again. This year, the Heluo area will probably have no grains...

Although everyone knows that Sili is so big, even if Dong Zhuo is fat, he will not be able to eat it. For example, Hedong County and Hanoi County, Dong Zhuo basically won’t do anything to move the capital. After all, although these two counties belong to Sili, they are separated by the Yellow River. Even if Dong Zhuo and Li Ru have this intention, geographical restrictions are indeed inconvenient to do anything.

But Hongnong County and Henan Yin are important grain production areas, and now they are caused by Dong Zhuo...

Originally, Fei Qian was just planning to send Huang Xu to transport the books for the second trip, but one was that he had encountered Li Ru's card set up, and the second was that the atmosphere in Luoyang City became more and more strange in the past two days. He always felt that something was about to happen, which made him feel uneasy, so he simply followed the second train convoy to take a look.

No matter what, it is beneficial to be familiar with the route yourself.

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 for all major traffic roads, and there was also a team of soldiers staring at him, as if he would rush over if there was a slight error, which made the atmosphere of the chariots and horses coming and going very tense.

Fortunately, there was the "Bao Institute" issued by Li Ru and the identity of Fei Qian's left office as the Minister of the Office, so although I encountered a check, there was no too much embarrassment.

Walking westward, it is somewhat similar to Fei Qian's southward journey to Jingxiang, but also a little different. Walking from Yin of Henan, Henan, where Luoyang City is located, it is Xin'an after passing Gucheng. There is a famous pass in the world between these two counties - Hangu Pass.

Hangu Pass was actually divided into two, one was Hangu Pass of the Qin Dynasty and the other was Hangu Pass of the Han Dynasty. The two Hangu Passes were not in the same place. At that time, in order to prevent the east from advancing westward, the Qin State set up a pass at the western end of the "Hankong Road" in western Henan, which was called "Hangu Pass".

Later, the Han Dynasty established its capital in Chang'an, just like the two cities in the north in later generations. Many people were proud of being inside the city. Therefore, at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, many people were proud of calling themselves "Guanmen". During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Hongnong County did not have this title at that time. There was a man named Yang Pu who was about to be granted the title of marquis because of his contribution to suppressing the rebellion. However, the area within the Guan District was almost over, and Emperor Wu of Han told him, "Why would you find a land area for you outside the pass?"

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

From then on, Hanhangu Pass was found.

Between the two Hangu Passes, the important passage from Guanxi to enter the heartland of the Central Plains - the "Guanhan Pass"! The Yellow River is in the north, the Qinling Mountains are in the south, and the only passage entering Chang'an Yongzhou is in the middle. The importance is self-evident.

Fei Qian was shaking in the carriage while thinking that once Dong Zhuo retreated into Guanzhong, if he wanted to attack the Chang'an area of ​​Qinchuan, the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan had only four routes since ancient times.

One is naturally the so-called important route between Luoyang and Chang'an, "Jiaohan Pass", which is the road that Fei Qian is now taking. As long as this road is at Hangu Pass, it is difficult to expand the terrain and the strong pass, which will make all the generals leading the attack feel deeply collapsed.

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

The third road is the one that Liu Bang took to enter Guanzhong, crossing the Qinling Mountains from the Nanyang Basin and crossing Wuguan to overcome Lantian before he could officially enter Guanzhong. However, this road either crosses Danshui or crosses the Qinling Mountains, and attacks Wuguan. If the Qin Dynasty was not the main force and was restrained by Xiang Yu, Liu Bang really would not have any chance to pass this route.

The last path is the Longyou Road in history when Zhuge attempted to attack Guanzhong. This path has been repeatedly demonstrated by Zhuge and Jiang Wei to attack Guanzhong...

So as long as Dong Zhuo has been indented into Guanzhong, there is really no good way for these gentry members in Shandong, Nanyang and other Central Plains.

This time Fei Qian wanted to go to Hangu Pass to take a look and see this everlasting pass with his own eyes. At least he had a preparation in his heart...

After leaving Gucheng for about ten miles, because Dong Zhuojun set up a checkpoint, there were fewer pedestrians on the road. Unconsciously, only Fei Qian, a team of chariots and horses were left walking. The wheels pressed against the sand and gravel made a melodious sound. The sound of horse hooves and the footsteps of soldiers, and the sound of armor and armor striking each other, made a bleak and quiet around them...

As he walked, Huang Cheng suddenly shouted loudly in the middle of the carriage and horses, ordering the entire army to stop.

Fei Qian asked, "Shuye, what's the matter?"

Huang Cheng frowned, looked around, and said hesitantly: "Jun Fei Lang, it seems that someone is peeking at us..."

Fei Qian was shocked when he heard this. It is not necessarily a good thing for someone to peek at this wilderness. People like Huang Cheng have six senses themselves. For example, when he met Huang Zhong in the Huang Family Hidden Courtyard last time, Fei Qian stared at Huang Zhong and was discovered by Huang Zhong after a long time. So now it is probably someone staring at Huang Cheng on the mountain in front. He noticed it...

The road under my feet follows the mountain. When I reach the foot of the mountain, I turn in. The sight is blocked by the mountain. I can’t see what’s going on on the other end of the road. Not far from my right hand is the Yellow River, and there is no place to detour.

"Get back!" Since Huang Cheng had noticed it, he could not walk forward for safety reasons. The path ahead was narrow and the situation was unclear. Going forward rashly was undoubtedly a joke about his life...
