From Hanzhong to Jingzhao Prefecture, which is Chang'an City during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, you have to cross the Qinling Mountains. There are mountains and deep ravines along the way, which are difficult and dangerous.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang wanted to attack the Central Plains in the north, but was blocked in Hanzhong and could not make any progress. In the end, he had no choice but to take a different path and go west to Longyou, leaving behind allusions of going out to Qishan six times. The reason was that Cao Wei guarded the passes of Sanguan, Fengxiang and other Qinling passes, and one man was the pass that could not be opened. Even a person like Zhuge Wuhou could not break through.

This is also the general trend determined by the geography of the west. It is surrounded by mountains in Shu. It is a barrier to defend when foreign enemies invade and a barrier to shackles when they fight. It is difficult for others to come in, and it is difficult for them to go out by themselves.

Therefore, whenever the heroes in Shu want to fight for dominance in the world, they often raise a circle on the edge of the Sichuan Basin, and when the fence is tied up by strong enemies, they will have no choice.

But Changsun Hong is different. He easily overcomes this hurdle.

In the 7th year of Chunyou in the Song Dynasty, at the secret invitation of Liu Yuanli, the second son of Liu Heima, left behind in Xijing, Mongolia, Changsun Hong led his troops into Guanzhong as the king of Dali, and went straight through the Qinling Mountains from Baoxie Road.

Tens of thousands of black-armored soldiers walk among the mountains, and often unconsciously look at the sides. They see Qinling Mountains like knife cutting, towering into the clouds. The steep passes are like iron ropes crossing the river, which is insurmountable. Everyone is calling them luck, but fortunately they just pass. If they are attacking, I don’t know how many people will die.

"There are several roads from Hanzhong to pass through the Qinling Mountains. Why did the Ghost King choose this road?" As an envoy to contact Hanzhong, Liu Tang, an official from the left-behind office in Xijing, naturally had to follow Changsun Hong, which was also considered a hostage. Once he entered Guanzhong this time, it would be a trap, and Liu Tang would naturally die the first one.

He smiled and asked Changsun Hong in a embarrassed tone without saying anything.

Following Liu Tang, there were several barbarian soldiers led by the barbarian general Yang Lei. They were tall and strong, and they rode a horse and followed Liu Tang like a few tigers escorting a quail, which made Liu Tang feel uncomfortable.

He could instinctively lean against Changsun Hong, but Changsun Hong ignored him very much. Liu Tang could only come up with some topics and get close to Changsun Hong.

Changsun Hong did not wear heavy armor, but just put on a light chain mail, a long sword on his waist and hips, and was majestic.

Hearing Liu Tang's question, Changsun Hong squinted his eyes and looked at the cliffs that were in the clouds on both sides of the plank road, and replied casually: "No, this road is just the closest. Passing through the Baoxi Road is Meiwu built by Dong Zhuo. Although Meiwu has been defeated, Meixian is there. From Meixian to Jingzhao Prefecture, the road is open to the sky and has no obstacles."

"The Ghost King is indeed knowledgeable." Liu Tang gave a thumbs up like a flatterer and said with a smile: "Although Baoxie is a bit difficult to walk, it is indeed the closest. The Ghost King is all soldiers who are used to walking on mountain roads. With the current severity, within ten days, they will definitely appear at the city of Jingzhao Prefecture."

When the barbarian general Natuzhi heard this, he frowned and interrupted, "The Ghost King fulfilled his promise, where is your general?"

"General Natuo, don't worry, my master has already prepared it. The guards of Meixian County are all soldiers and generals under my master. They are opening and closing the switch and waiting for us to come over." Liu Tang patted his chest.

When Changsun Hong heard the sound, he smiled slightly and looked at a dark ghost school beside him.

The school whispered: "As of the latest news, Mei County was unsuspecting, the garrison in the city was loose and loose. Most of the troops were pulled to the suburbs of Jingzhao Prefecture. There were less than 500 people left, most of them were old and weak. Our people were staring there, and whenever there was a turmoil, they would burn smoke to warn."

Changsun Hong nodded gently and looked at Liu Tang with satisfaction: "Mr. Liu, you are the left-behind office in Xijing. Are you the Chief Senate?

"That's right!" Liu Tang said in surprise and joy, "The Ghost King knows me?"

"Sir, wise, I can go to our military camp alone and take risks for General Liu. How can I not know you with this loyalty and courage?" Changsun Hong laughed and said, "I don't know which one of the two is better, Liu Yuanli or Liu Yuanzhen, in Mr. Liu?"

"Well...this..." Liu Tang was stunned for a moment, hesitating: "General Liu and his brother are both descendants of Marshal Liu, and his father has no dog son. They are both excellent talents, but... in terms of advantages and disadvantages, General Liu is naturally much stronger."

"Oh?" Changsun Hong reached out and touched the shiny mane of the mount and asked with interest: "What do you say?"

"Ahem, this...this is that." Liu Tang touched the beard on his chin and said carefully: "In theory, the eldest son, if he is father, Liu Yuanzhen, is the eldest son of Marshal Liu, should succeed his father, but...ahm...but Liu Yuanzhen has no ambitions and is like his parents, which is simply outrageous!"

Liu Tang secretly observed Changsun Hong's expression and said, "We are all Han people. We should regard the Song Dynasty as the orthodox. When Marshal Liu was alive... Well, when he was alive, he repeatedly told us that no matter how the world changes in the future, the Song Dynasty is our ancestor. The Mongolian wolf ambitions and the wild people in the wild promises that even if the sky is full of splendor, how can we believe it? But just treat us as dogs that can be driven."

"But Liu Yuanzhen didn't listen to this. As soon as Marshal Liu died, he hurriedly contacted He Lin and wanted to continue to follow the Mongols. Although General Liu Yuanli and his mother were his compatriots, he was very righteous. How could he tolerate such disobedient behavior? I think that the Han people in the north have been trapped in the barbarians for a long time. This time it was a good opportunity for God to rise up and resist. Therefore, General Liu sent me to contact the Ghost King."

When Liu Tang said this, he lifted his beard on the horse's back and said passionately: "Therefore, I have the saying that General Liu is stronger than Liu Yuanzhen. This is the public heart and there is no personal relationship. Please give me a break from the ghost king!"

Changsun Hong looked at him and his face twitched, as if he was smiling.

But he didn't laugh, but the group of barbarians behind laughed out loud.

Chuchu still laughed depressedly, and she laughed a few times. These rough men who were stabbing people with swords could not control them and couldn't help laughing loudly, with a heroic laughter and thunderous ears.

In the laughter, Liu Tang's face turned blue and purple, but he had to pretend that he was fine and forced to squeeze out his smile. It was really hard.

"Okay, okay." Changsun Hong clapped his hands, as if he was hit by a buzzing mosquito: "General Liu Yuanli is so good at home and country! I admire him very much. It seems that my army attack this time is where the righteousness is, and it is not in vain for this trip!"

Liu Tang laughed and wanted to say a few more words to express Liu Yuanli's sincerity, but heard a sound of horse hooves as fast as meteors, like jade beads falling from the porcelain plate, stacked up in the distance.

Everyone looked back and saw a black-armored cavalry rushing over from the narrow plank road along the side of the brigade of soldiers. The horse's hooves stepped on the edge of the slippery plank road, but the speed was fast and extremely thrilling.

Na Duzhi's face suddenly curled his smile, and the army was moving dangerously. If nothing was important, such risky behavior was strictly prohibited. This was a violation of military law.

As soon as he tied the reins, his mount was crossed behind Changsun Hong and shouted sternly: "What's the matter?"

The black-armored rider was excellent. He rushed to the front and turned around in the same place as a horse. He stopped. Before the horse could stand firm, the rider rolled down and knelt on one knee and reported: "The commander of the Later Army of the Later Army of the Song Dynasty sent a gold medal envoy from Lin'an and followed the imperial edict. Now that the Later Army was resting, he arrived in an instant. General Liu was afraid that the will would be different, so the last mission would come to inform him first!"

Gold Messenger!

Everyone present who knew the meaning of these four words suddenly changed their expressions.

Changsun Hong's originally smiling face instantly started to change.
