In the early morning of the second day of the lunar new year, as soon as it was light, Huangfu Chaobo set out for the West. In addition to Dian Wei and his 18 elite soldiers, there were also a group of shadow guards led by Shi A. Pang Tong felt bored to stay in Luoyang, so he went all the way.

The first stop of the trip was qinhanguguan and Huxian County, more than 500 miles away. A group of people, one person and three horses, arrived at qinhanguguan in two days, except for a short rest in the middle of the town.

As the most critical pass in the west of Sizhou, the importance of Qin Hangu pass is beyond doubt. As a veteran of Huangfu Chaobo, Zhou Cang's ability has been affirmed by the public after the battle with LV Bujun. Therefore, Huangfu Chaobo handed over such an important pass to him to defend.

However, judging from the closing situation, Zhou Cang did not disappoint Huangfu Chaobo. When they arrived at Hangu pass, it was already late. But from miles away, we could see that the fire was bright. There was a soldier on duty every dozens of steps, and a patrol taxi passed by every other period of time. We could see that the defense was strict. We should know that this was the wall facing our own territory in the East.

When more than 100 horses approached the pass, the distant sound of horse's hooves had already alerted the taxi drivers. For a moment, the sound of crowing sounded. Soon, a large group of soldiers rushed to the pass wall. Then, a lot of bonfires were ignited on the pass Wall every dozens of steps.

A general's voice sounded on the wall: "who's coming, please stop riding and stop walking. According to the general's order, the door has been closed at night. You can't get close to the wall without permission. There will be no amnesty for those who violate it!"

Huangfu Chaobo and his party stopped two or three hundred paces away. Looking at the reaction of closing the door, Huangfu Chaobo and Dian Wei pangtong nodded secretly.

After he was stationed in the horse, Huangfu Chaobo nodded at Dianwei. Seeing this, the latter turned over and dismounted. He took a torch from a soldier, held it high and walked dozens of steps away from the wall. He said: "this general is Dianwei, the general of Zhechong. He escorts the general to the labor force in the pass. Who is in the city? Send someone to report to general Zhoucang, the cavalry general, and go out to meet him at once!"

As soon as the officers and soldiers heard this, they immediately became a sensation. They did not expect that their generals would rush to work hundreds of miles away, regardless of the fact that it was the Spring Festival.

The general of Guan Shuan was also surprised. He raised his eyes and looked down the city. Sure enough, the man holding the torch under the city was general Dian Wei. As the first strong general in the army, general Pingdong's bodyguard Pro general, who in the army does not know, who does not know. The general saw this and said in a loud voice: "general Dian, please wait a moment. There is no general Zhou's order at night. The general will not be able to open and close the door. The general will send someone to invite general Zhou right away." With that, he immediately ordered one of his soldiers to go to the guard general's house to invite Zhou Cang.

Dian Wei saw that he didn't open the door first, but invited Zhou Cang first. He almost jumped up and scolded him. However, Huangfu Chaobo and Pang Tong behind him nodded and agreed with Zhou Cang's caution.

Huangfu Chaobo thought that Zhou Cang was worthy of being the guard of Guan Er ye in history. As expected, he was very cautious and strict in running the army. There was nothing wrong with writing to Guan Gu to entrust him.

Two people lead the pro guard to ride slowly to walk toward, to the bow and arrow range outside stopped again, waiting for the Guannei Zhou Cang to open the door.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Cang went to the wall of the pass. He saw Dianwei outside the pass with his own eyes. Then he ordered the soldiers to open the door. He led his personal guards to the outside of the pass and walked towards Dianwei.

In front of Huangfu Chaobo, Zhou Cang immediately bowed down and said: "at the end, general Zhou Cang has met the Lord! My Lord, why didn't you send someone to inform me in advance, so that the general could prepare for it. "

"Well," Huang Fu Chao Bo raised his hand and said, "get up. After running on the horse for two days, our Mr. Pang is almost exhausted. Let's get into the pass quickly and have a rest. "

Zhou Cang's people were shocked. They were moved and said, "my Lord, did you rush all the way to Hangu pass? Lord, it's hard work

"Well, compared with the soldiers guarding the city in the cold wind during the Spring Festival, this hard work is nothing. Let's go. First, I'll accompany ben to the wall to see the taxi soldiers on duty. Then I'll have a rest and comfort the army tomorrow. "

The news that our general came from Luoyang on the third day of the first month to comfort the army quickly spread to the soldiers on duty in the Hangu pass of Qin Dynasty, which made the morale of the soldiers rise a lot. Despite riding for two days, Huangfu Chaobo made a tour of the taxis on both sides of the wall, and then returned to the general's residence to have a rest.

On the third day, that is, the fourth day of the first month, Huangfu Chaobo reviewed the army in the school yard of qinhangu pass, ordered to reward the three armies, and then spent lunch with the soldiers in the army. After lunch, he led the people to leave qinhangu pass and go to the West Lake County.

In the afternoon of that day, Huangfu Chaobo and his party arrived in Hu County. For the safety of Huangfu Chaobo, Zhou Cang specially sent 1000 cavalry to accompany them.

Huxian county is a county facing Tongguan of Xiliang army. After Zhang Ji's two migrations, it has become empty. Now Huangfu Chaobo only dares to station troops in Huxian County, but does not dare to arrange for people to come to work.

At present, there are 5000 garrison troops and 2000 cavalry troops in Huxian County, and all kinds of defense materials and food and grass are only enough for more than 10000 troops in March. For Hu County, Huangfu Chaobo's attitude was just to regard it as an outpost.However, the north gate of Huxian county is close to the river. In case something happens, you can use a boat to evacuate the soldiers from the river. So Huangfu Chaobo told his elder brother that Hu County could abide by the rules, but could not retreat to Hongnong by waterway. He gave him the right to make decisions.

After a night's rest in Huxian County, Huangfu Chaobo began to return to the East.

After passing through Hangu pass of Qin Dynasty and handing over 1000 cavalry to Zhoucang, Huangfu Chaobo directly crossed Hangu pass and headed for Hongnong city. In the next few days, Huangfu Chaobo led Dianwei pangtong to the East, constantly inspecting and comforting the garrison at each city pass. From the westernmost Hu county to the easternmost hulaoguan sishuiguan, then cross the river from hulaoguan Shuizhai to huaixian county.

After going out on the second day of the first lunar month, Huangfu Chaobo spent more than ten days walking through all the city passes he controlled. It was not until the afternoon of the fourteenth of the first lunar month that the party was able to return to Luoyang.

Looking back at Huangfu Chaobo, who was so tired that she didn't want to move on the bed, Jia Jing was very distressed. However, she didn't say anything. She just arranged for someone to prepare dinner for him, and then prepared a wash for him.
