Chapter 582 Tongguan Rebellion?
Hangu Pass of the Qin Dynasty was located on the west bank of the Hongnong River. It was a major city fortress built along the west bank of the Hongnong River. If you want to attack this fortress, you must first cross the Hongnong River, and then you can attack and defend the fortress. After taking the fortress, you need to pass through a canyon of more than ten miles. You can only pass a carriage at the narrowest point, and then climb the "earth dam plateau" from the canyon... In fact, it is an earth dam plateau with countless peach trees planted.
In the Qin Dynasty, Hangu Pass was a dangerous fortress. When people outside the pass attacked, they first faced the danger of crossing the river, followed by a strong attack on the fortress, and then faced the life and death of more than a dozen miles of valleys.
But during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, because the fields in Guanzhong had been enfeoffed and there was no land to be granted to General Yang Pu, the general of Louchuan, so Yang Pu wanted to be a marquis outside the pass. Yang Pu was not willing to be a marquis outside the pass, so he moved Hangu Pass to the border between Yin and Hongnong County in Henan, next to the Gushui River. Therefore, Hangu Pass was called the Guguan during the Qin Dynasty, and the Hangu Pass established by Yang Pu was the new pass.
The new pass is far less dangerous than the old pass, but because Yang Pu wanted to become the Marquis of Guannei. From the west of Guguan, Tongguan is 120 miles in a straight line, which is the last dangerous pass fortress entering Guanzhong.
From Guguan, I passed through a valley path of more than ten miles, climbed the relatively open earth dam plateau and headed west. When I was about to step into Tongguan, I had to pass through a narrow road of several miles of "Huangxiangban" near the Yellow River. Then I had to wait for a sudden upturned earth dam plateau. In a dangerous area called "Wuli Secret Door" that climbed the slope, it could only accommodate a few steps of a car, and it was easy to be attacked by others. It was another extremely dangerous area.
After climbing the slope and passing through the "Five Miles Secret Gate", there is another open earth dam plateau, down the slope that has been washed by rain, and then there is the "Jingou" valley road in the north and south of the Tonghe River. To the north along the Jingou is the Yellow River converging with the Tonghe River, and to the west is the entire Guanzhong Plain, and Tongguan is built in the "Jingou ramp".
From the ancient pass to Tongguan, there are two most dangerous places, one is the Huangxiangban that must be passed by, and the other is the Wuli secret door. Only after passing through such a dangerous location can you reach Tongguan.
Whether it is Gu Pass or Tong Pass, they are all powerful passes that can only be opened by tens of thousands of men. However, the pass itself is not very large, and it is only one or two hundred steps long and wide. There are only four or five hundred soldiers stationed in the pass, led by a commander. If the war comes, the army will be stationed on the open earth dam plateau to provide more reinforcements to the pass.
Dong Hu led dozens of cavalry to the west and passed through Xinguan. Therefore, the pass was unobstructed. After Dong Zhuo moved the capital, the west of Tongguan was considered to be under Dong Hu's rule. The commander of the city naturally did not dare to stop him. But when he ran to Tongguan day and night, he was unexpectedly stopped by someone. He was no one else, but Duan Wei, the general stationed in Huayin County.
Dong Hu held back his war horse and looked at the closed city gate of Tongguan, and his face felt unhappy. After a while, Duan Wei, wearing armor, appeared on the top of the city.
"Which general is under the city?"
Dong Hu kicked forward and looked at the city wall with a cold face.
"Is General Duan going to rebel? Why block the city gate and prevent the people from entering and leaving? Was Luoyang captured by thieves? Or have you already stolen and murdered people in Chang'an?"
Duan Wei and Dong Hu met several times in Luoyang, but Dong Hu's hair had just been cut short. Although his beard grew a lot, it had not reached its previous level. However, his body was covered with a red black cloth strip behind his back, especially the curly hair of A Chou under his crotch. Anyone who knew him a little should be able to judge it by seeing these.
After observing carefully for a while, Duan Wei then punched the city.
"It turned out to be General Dong Hu. Please forgive me. The thief is powerful. The state-owned prime minister has an order, and only two hours are turned on and off every day. The general has missed the hour at this time. Please forgive me. Duan cannot open the city for the general."
Dong Hu's displeasure was even heavier. Dong Gu was furious and kicked him forward, pointing at the top of the city and cursing.
"Stop talking nonsense, open the city with me immediately!"
Duan Wei is Duan Yi's cousin, the same generation as Dong Zhuo, and has followed Duan Yi to fight south and north. He was afraid of Dong Gu's threat and looked at Dong Hu under the city with a cold face.
"The Prime Minister has an order. I dare not disobey the military order. I hope the general will not blame him!"
"Whoever comes, no one is allowed to open the city gate without permission. Those who violate the order shall be killed!"
Duan Wei ordered loudly, but he made Dong Gu and dozens of followers angry and cursed. Dong Hu kicked forward and pointed his hand at the top of the city.
"Duan Wei, no matter what your ability is, no matter what your relationship is with your uncle or the Grand Marshal Duan Bing, if you don't open the city for a quarter of an hour, I will think that the whole city is rebellious, and I will slaughter your Duan family!"
"If you don't believe me, just try it!"
After saying that, Dong Hu turned his horse and left until he left the city of Tongguan two hundred steps away, then he jumped off his war horse and looked at the city of coldness.
The generals of the city gate are not unable to close the city gate tightly. The main purpose of closing the city gate is to be the safety of the city gate. They are not coming to the dark night, and there are no 8,000 soldiers around them. Standing at the top of the city can be seen for several miles, and you can tell whether there is any danger at first glance.
The Three Kingdoms says that Dong Zhuo is tyrannical, and this is right. Compared with Cao Cao's control over the inside and outside the palace, Dong Zhuo is considered a big mistake. In fact, except for Dong Zhuo as the Prime Minister, there is not a single official in Liangzhou. Not only that, the court is not without ministers in command of the troops, such as Huang Wan, the Sili School Captain Huang Wan, the Qiang School Captain Yang Zan, and the Jinwu Sect Sun Rui. If it were Cao Cao, it would never be possible.
Is Dong Zhuo stupid? Is Dong Zhuo a political idiot? If he is really an idiot, can he defeat the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei in a short time? The Three Kingdoms mentioned how many Liangzhou troops Dong Zhuo mentioned, where did he get the Liangzhou troops? Except for some Liangzhou generals, all of them are serious elite Han soldiers.
A Liangzhou general who had never set foot in the court was able to abolish Emperor Liu Bian within three days with three thousand soldiers and horses. He was successfully promoted to the Prime Minister of the Supreme Court in just over a month, and seized the Shangshutai from Yuan Wei and seized Yuan Wei's personnel appointment and removal power. How could Dong Zhuo be a political idiot?
But he revealed the word "idiot" everywhere in the appointment of official positions inside and outside the court. He looked like a political idiot, but in fact it was not, just because he did not position himself as a "weaponist" person and did not regard himself as a prince who seized the world.
After all, Dong Zhuo was still a Han minister, a powerful minister like Dou Xian and Liang Ji, and there was no essential difference from the general He Jin. Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Sun Quan, Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, Liu Biao, Liu Yan... and even Dong Hu himself, they were all princes with "great ambitions".
Success, defeat, and right, wrong, merit and demerit are written by the winner. Dong Hu knew very well the difference between Dong Zhuo and himself, and also knew what role Duan Wei played after Dong Zhuo's death. He had no good feelings for these people, and even if he died, he would not feel even if he had nothing to do.
The threat was issued, Dong Hu looked at the city wall with a cold face, and no dozens of people spoke. After half a quarter of an hour, the city wall finally lowered the suspension bridge and the thick city gate slowly opened.
“Enter the city.”
Dong Hu spoke coldly, but Dong Gu was a little worried.
"Brother, will that Duan Wei be deceived and lure us into the city?"
"Duan Wei doesn't dare, at least he doesn't dare at this time! Otherwise... we can Tu Guang Wuwei Duan."
Dong Hu kicked the horse and walked towards the city gate that was opened. He went out to greet only a young general. Even if he gave himself a lecture, no one paid attention to it. He just kicked the horse and walked into the city. Until he saw Duan Wei, who was guarding the generals in the city, he waved to the young general who bent behind him.
"Zhang Luo, where are you from?"
Zhang Luo hurriedly lowered his body and said, "Go back to the general, the villain was originally led by the Northern Army Infantry Battalion."
"From now on, you are the western captain of Hongnong County, the governor of Tongguan and Huayin County."
"ah?"
Zhang Luo was shocked, and Dong Hu looked at Duan Wei dozens of steps away and smiled disdainfully.
"What? Don't dare to do it?"
Zhang Luo's body shook and he hurriedly fell to the ground.
"promise!"
Dong Hu didn't look back and walked towards Duan Wei, who was expressionless. When he came closer, a general was about to come forward to stop him. Dong Hu stretched out his big hand instantly, pinched the neck of the armored general, and lifted the strong man with one head lowered into the air. Before the other party wanted to spread his big hand open due to suffocation, he punched the opponent's chest and ribs.
"Bang!"
Just like throwing a broken sack, the change was too sudden. When a group of generals reacted, they wanted to draw their swords. Dong Hu had already stood in front of Duan Wei, and his cold eyes made everyone bow their heads and retreat...
"I don't care about you...what you have any thoughts, if you want to die, I will slaughter you all and slaughter all of your nine tribes!"
"Zhang Luo!"
Dong Hu roared angrily, Zhang Luo hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists. Luoyang Camp and Chang'an Camp were all controlled by Dong Hu for a short time and were dispersed. The Eighth Camp in Xiyuan was even more defeated and captured. He knew the strength of Dong Buyicon the most, and he dared to hesitate, let alone...
"The last one will be here!"
"From now on, you will be the captain of the western part of Hongnong County, governing Tongguan and Huayin County. Anyone who does not obey the orders will be killed!"
As soon as Dong Hu said, Duan Wei and the generals around him were all shocked.
"You dare..."
"I dare-"
Dong Hu was furious and kicked Duan Wei in the chest without any warning. The generals were shocked. The sound of "clang" drawing swords continued. Dozens of Beihe Qiang men also pulled out scimitars. The battle between the two sides was about to begin, but Dong Hu stepped on Duan Wei's chest with one foot, looking down at the veteran in his forties and fifty years old indifferently.
"I respect General Duan Bing, but it's not you Duan Wei, nor Duan's family in Wuwei County. If you dare to rebel, I will slaughter all the male Duans in Wuwei. If you don't believe me, try it!"
"roll--"
Dong Hu suddenly looked at the person who drew the sword. With his roar, hundreds of people who drew the sword retreated repeatedly...
"snort!"
"Duan Wei, I can let Lu Bu get out of Luoyang, and I can also turn you into a sheep sheep slave in Yanran Mountain!"
"Zhang Luo!"
"The command of the army to draw its sword within ten breaths, no one dares to rebel will be killed without forgiveness!"
"promise!"
Zhang Luo did not hesitate to hold his fist to take the order, and pointed at a general wearing armor.
"Duan Dian, do you want to rebel—"
"You...you all want your whole family to die--"
...
One person hesitated to put away the swords and soldiers, and hundreds of people bowed their heads and put away their swords and soldiers. If they did not put away the swords and soldiers surrounded the Luoyang Camp, the Chang'an Camp would chop them all.
"snort!"
"Zhang Luo, immediately rectify Tongguan and dare to block the connection between Luoyang and Chang'an. We will peel you off!"
Zhang Luo hurriedly clasped his fists and agreed until Dong Hu waved his hand impatiently and stepped aside. Then he secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and became nervous the next moment.
"Dong Hu... cough cough... Wu Xiangguo's military order... cough cough... you... cough cough... you are rebelling... cough cough..."
Duan Wei didn't expect that Dong Hu would suddenly kick someone. He wanted to get angry but couldn't speak. He just trembled his fingers, but he was snorting coldly when he was greeted.
