People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 280 Gu Yangping Pass
Fifty thousand Baibo, among the allied forces of the Huns, the Huns can run because they are all cavalry, and their fighting style is to advance when they see benefits, and to retreat when they are unfavorable.

As the remnant of the Yellow Turban Party, Bai Bo's combat power was low, and all battles were suppressed by numbers. This time, the army was defeated and the whole army collapsed.

Barracks outside the city!

Li Yao praised Gao Shun a few words, Gao Shun was neither humble nor overbearing, he retreated to the side, he didn't look close to him, maybe this was the reason why Lu Bu didn't reuse Gao Shun, he neither flattered nor showed loyalty, how could he reuse him with confidence.

But in Li Yao's view, for a pure soldier like Gao Shun, if you give an order and he executes it, what you have to worry about is whether he knows how to adapt, not whether he can rebel.

At this time, Li Yao looked at the leaders of the Baibo Army who were still wearing shackles, with a calm expression, and said indifferently:

"You guys have caused me a lot of trouble!"

Yang Feng, Han Xian... and the other leaders of the Baibo Army bandits obviously knew they were afraid, so they hurriedly begged for mercy:
"Forgive me, the general. We have no other choice. In the past, corrupt officials were rampant, but now the general is in charge of the court. The world is peaceful and life is easier. We are willing to surrender, we are willing to surrender..."

Li Yao didn't care about them, but looked back and forth among the crowd, and finally locked his eyes on a strong man with a resolute face and a calm expression, but there was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes. He had ambitions in his heart, but it was too difficult to get ahead, and in the end he got mixed up and had to follow the local tycoon Yang Feng to participate in the Baibo Uprising. Until now, he has been imprisoned.

The rest Yang Feng, Han Xian, Li Le, Hu Cai...Li Yao didn't care whether they were dead or alive, but Xu Huang and Li Yao cared very much, it would be a pity if they died.

Now that Li Yao has subdued the Xiliang army, he also subdued the Baibo army, it's not impossible.

But if Xu Huang is left behind and kills the rest of the people, it may cause Xu Huang psychological pressure, so he simply stays. In the future, the battlefield will be life or death, depending on God's will.

So Li Yao laughed and said:

"The world is peaceful? Now the world is not peaceful, wars continue, and princes from all over the world are fighting privately. Have you ever shown respect to the court, or have you ever shown mercy to the people..."

Having said that, Li Yao looked around and said again:
"As for you, gathering people to revolt and looting the people is a serious crime that cannot be pardoned. However, you can wear the crime and make meritorious service, and serve in the army. Only by making great achievements in the future can you be able to wash away your sins. It is not impossible to be named a marquis and general!"

Li Yao's turning point directly caused these Baibo thieves to jump to the heart of their throats, swallow them back into their stomachs, and escape from death. They are extremely fortunate.

People's hearts, as long as you don't set too high expectations for yourself, you will find that life is full of surprises.

Moreover, what Li Yao said later was also very attractive to them. Rebellion is a profession where you put your head in your hands to make a living. Joining the army is also a profession in which you hold your head in your hands. Comparing the two, joining the army is more stable, and the rebellion will be suppressed at any time.

Even Xu Huang breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Li Yao, this young man, regardless of fame or power, was much older than him.

As a famous general in the world, Li Yao also represented the imperial court. Perhaps following Li Yao, he could really stand out.

In Xu Huang's heart, there was also hope. He had great ambitions, and rebellion was not his pursuit. Just like what Li Yao said, being a marquis and a general is the greatest pursuit of warriors in this era.

At this time, these Baibo thieves were both flattering and loyal, expressing that they would reform themselves, fight the enemy bravely, lead their horses to fall on the pedals, and hold their swords and halberds.

No matter what they said, Li Yao didn't intend to make an exception for his promotion, even Xu Huang was like this. After all, he was captured first and then surrendered. If he didn't make contributions, he wouldn't be convincing.

After disposing of and arranging the leader of the Baibo bandits, Li Yao patrolled the army again. The whole army was already ready, and they could set off just waiting for an order.

However, the road is impassable, and it can only be a waste of time, energy, food, and now Li Yao is waiting for the news ahead.

At the same time, between Wudu and Hanzhong!

Bei Gongli led the army and had already blocked Yangping Pass. Since he received the news, he immediately dispatched troops to go straight to Yangping Pass along the West Han River.

It is a pity that after the Wudu earthquake, the Han River was diverted, with the West Han River in the west and the Dongmian River in the east. The mountains and rivers changed and the roads were blocked. Otherwise, we could enter Hanzhong along the Han River.

Yangping Pass has also changed many times, and the ancient Yangping Pass is different from Xinyangping Pass. The ancient Yangping Pass seems to be a pass, but it is actually a fortress built in the mountains.

The two mountain ranges intersect, and only the middle can be walked, but you have to climb up the mountain first, and then break through the fortress before you can pass here, the most difficult is to attack upwards.

Chencang Road and Baoxie Road are different. Baoxie Road crosses the Qinling Mountains and can directly enter Hanzhong. The terrain is more steep and the passage is more difficult.

Chencang Road, entering from Sanguan, also passes through Wudu, and the last section overlaps with Qishan Road. That is to say, now Beigongli is blocked at Yangping Pass, and Hu Zhen can clear the road at full speed without Zhang Lu's interference.

Taking Chencang Road, you can enter Hanzhong from Guanzhong, but like Qishan Road, you must face Yangping Pass in the end.

You can also enter Hanzhong from Guanzhong by taking the Baoxie Road, but the road is more dangerous, and the construction of the plank road has to deal with Zhang Lu's constant interference.

Is it easier to build a plank road, or is it easier to destroy a plank road?Of course, it is easy to destroy the plank road, after all, all you need is a fire!

Therefore, Zhang Lu didn't need to force his troops. As long as he sent people to guard Yangping Pass, and then guarded Baoxie Road, Tangluo Road, and Ziwu Road, he could resist the threat from the north.

Perhaps it was also because of this that Liu Yan and Zhang Lu dared to blatantly betray the imperial court because the surrounding terrain was so superior.

Hanzhong, as a part of Yizhou, provided Yizhou with natural conditions for independence. If the two were separated, Hanzhong would belong to Guanzhong, and Yizhou would be better managed.

At this time, outside Yangping Pass!
Bei Gongli searched around, but couldn't find a place where he could cross Yangping Pass, and finally said angrily:

"Zouma Ridge, Zouma Ridge, if the war horse can climb the mountain, I will definitely level up this Zouma Ridge and level this Yangping Pass!"

Beside Bei Gongli, Pang Rou persuaded after hearing the words:
"General, we have already said hello to the chiefs of the Di tribe around Hechi. In two days, General Hu Zhen will be able to come and join him directly when he arrives in Hechi. There is even General Li's army behind him. There is really no need to worry at this time!"

Pound followed suit:
"Passing the Yangping Pass, you will be in Hanzhong, which is as flat as a mountain. At that time, Zhang Lu will definitely not be able to stop the general's fine cavalry!"

At this time, Bei Gongli had an idea, looked at Zoumaling and Yangping Pass:
"Pang Rou, I will give you three thousand stones of food, go to the Di tribes in various places, and recruit thousands of Di tribesmen. My fine cavalry is suitable for fighting on the plains, and the local Di tribe talents are suitable for mountaineering battles!"

Upon hearing this, Pang Rou responded immediately:

"Follow the order!"

He has traveled all over Wudu, and when he heard this, he knew where to find someone.
