The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 512 Cangling Pass

The team fumbled forward among the mountains, and seven or eight days passed in a blink of an eye.

The distance of more than 400 miles, in exchange for the plains, Lu Bu can reach it by galloping for half a day, but in the dangerous mountains and fields, the daily traveling speed is only [-] to [-] miles.

It would probably take a month of effort just to complete this ramp.

On this day, Lu Bu led his army to the foot of a certain mountain.

There are many fences in the middle of the road ahead, blocking the way forward.

Behind the fence is a simple fortified city, patrolled by soldiers, with archery towers built on both sides, the terrain is extremely dangerous.

Lu Bu's army was walking on the narrow and long mountain road, with cliffs standing on the left and right sides, squeezing them in the middle.Lu Bu and his soldiers could only meander along the road, like a long snake that never ends.

The soldiers patrolling the walled city saw an army approaching, so they hurriedly sent someone to notify the captain, and the rest of the people put on a defensive posture.

Lu Bu raised his hand to signal the army to stop marching.

He inspected the fortified city in front of him. The scale of the fortified city here is not large, and the number of troops is estimated to be only five or six hundred.However, if you go down to the stronghold and guard the dangerous points, even if there are only a few hundred people, you can still contain an army of tens of thousands of people, and you will not be able to advance half a point.

The captain who was in charge of guarding this place went up to the village building, holding onto the railing, and shouted towards Lu Bu, "Who is here!"

Before Lv Bu could answer, Jian Wei who was beside him yelled angrily: "Blind your eyes, this is Marquis Wen and General You of the Han Dynasty, so is Lv Bu! Hurry up and get out of the way!"

This reply caused a commotion among the soldiers in the city wall. Even in the valley road where the news was difficult to convey, they seemed to have heard of Lu Bu's reputation.

The well-built lieutenant lost all the confidence he had before, restrained his temper, and asked aloud, "Do you have proof?"

He is not a fool either, of course it is impossible to believe that the general leading the army is the famous Marquis Wen just based on Jian Wei's one-sided words.

Lu Bu took off the right general's seal on his waist, and asked Jian Wei to send it to the school captain for inspection.

He came to conquer Hanzhong this time, but Su Gu, the county guard, didn't know about it.

At the beginning Su Gu claimed that his illness would not allow him to enter the imperial court, but Lu Bu not only did not point it out, but instead pushed the boat along with the flow, comforting him with kind words, letting him recuperate well in Hanzhong, so as to numb his mind and make him careless.

Now it seems that it really worked.

After checking Lv Bu's seal of the right general, the captain immediately ordered the gate to be opened, removed the fence and antlers in the middle of the road, and personally led more than [-] soldiers from the fortress to welcome Lv Bu.

Lu Bu saw that it was getting late, so he ordered to rest here for the night, and set off again tomorrow.

At night, in Lu Bu's camp, Chen Gong, Cao Xing, Song Xian and others under his command gathered together.

"General, do you want us to do it tonight and take it away in one go?" Pan Feng's eyes revealed excitement, eager to try.

Since joining Lu Bu's tent, he has not made a single contribution, and those around him, Cao Xing, Song Xian, Ma Zhong, and Hou Cheng, who did not follow Lu Bu to fight on the battlefield, have made a contribution, and they are all fingers There are countless.

Take Cao Xing as an example, although he is not good at martial arts, but his bow is very accurate. Back then, Budugen, the third king of Xianbei, relied most on his advisers. He shot and killed the enemy general who died in the hands of Cao Xing. few.

Even Ma Chao, an underage kid, has contributed to Lu Bu's fame in Liangzhou.

Pan Feng was eager to prove his strength, so he proposed to kill all the soldiers in this village tonight.

As soon as Pan Feng finished speaking, he was stopped by Chen Gong.

"General, this is inappropriate!"

Chen Gong bowed his hands to Lv Bu, and talked about the advantages and disadvantages: "Our army has just arrived, and our army is not familiar with the military defenses, checkpoints and fortresses in Hanzhong. If you kill rashly, it is very likely that you will startle the snake."

"If someone escapes, go to the front to report the news, the future fortress may be even more dangerous. With only our 5000 soldiers and horses, it may be difficult to fight all the way into Hanzhong."

"If we meet a cruel person again and simply set fire to burn down all the plank roads, we will fall short this time."

Once the plank roads on the cliffs are burned down, it means that the traffic will be cut off. It will not be built well for three to five years.

Lu Bu thought for a while, weighed the pros and cons, and said to the generals in the tent, "Okay, you all should rest earlier. Recover your strength, and we will continue marching tomorrow."

Lu Bu agreed with Chen Gong's point of view, because even if all the soldiers here were killed, it would be of little benefit to him.

After resting overnight, Lu Bu led the army and set off again.

The captain sent Lu Bu out of the city, and told Lu Bu about the dangers ahead, telling him to be more careful.

Lu Bu asked the person's name, and the captain reported it to the house.

His name is Zhao Ju, a native of Nanzheng in Hanzhong, and he has a younger brother named Zhao Song, who is currently serving as the director under Su Gu, and he is quite appreciated.

After bidding farewell to Zhao Ju, Lu Bu continued his journey.

The road ahead is rough, but unimpeded.

Whenever he encountered a checkpoint or a city built to contain danger, Lu Bu just stopped the team and reported his name.When he met some more cautious guards, Lu Bu removed the general's seal and handed it over to them for inspection.

After these school lieutenants saw it, they were all sincere and frightened.No matter how bold you are, you don't dare to obstruct it. After all, Lu Bu's trip represents the imperial court.

To fight against Lu Bu is to fight against the court and to be disloyal.

No one can afford this crime.

As for why Lu Bu came here, how could they, the school captains, be able to find out?
After more than 20 days of marching, this ramp is finally coming to an end.

"Wenhou, in front of you is the last fortress on the Baoxie Road, Cangling Pass. After passing this place, and then turning over the mountains behind you, you will go down to Baocheng in Hanzhong County, and then you will find a flat field. There is no need to go over the mountains."

There was a flattering smile on Jian Wei's face, because Lu Bu had promised him in advance that if this was accomplished, he would be given the position of Minister of the Young Mansion when he returned home, which was much higher than his previous official position.

Lu Bu ignored Jian Wei, but looked back at the thousands of soldiers behind him.After more than [-] days of trekking, along the way, many soldiers had blood blisters on the soles of their feet, and they limped while walking with support.

You guys are all great!

Lu Bu said silently in his heart.

When we arrived at Cangling Pass, the gate guard asked as usual.

Jian Wei, who was beside Lu Bu, replied as usual, the guard was obviously a cautious person, and asked Lu Bu to show the things.

Lu Bu removed the right general's seal and asked Jianwei to check it.

After the guard inspected it, he handed it back to Lu Bu, but it seemed that he had no intention of letting Lu Bu enter the customs.
