Sure enough, the ferry was very smooth. Before the fourth day, everyone got on the boat, and then the night and the sound of water covered the river and went down a hundred miles. It was a long distance from the main force of the Xiliang Army in Hedong. The straight-line distance from Hanoi was only more than 200 miles. As long as you pass Hangu Pass, you will completely escape from the area controlled by Li Jue and Guo Si.

Thinking that Li Jue and Guo Si were still wandering back and forth on the ground in Hedong at this time, Wen Yuan felt happy. He was worried for so many days and the haze for so many days, and today he was finally wiped out. The plan to welcome the emperor was half successful. Next, he took the emperor back to Yecheng.

"Xu dares not take credit, it is all the credit of the soldiers under the lord," Jia Xuqian thanked. His words were not entirely a compliment. If Wen Yuan had not had such an assassin unit that was good at stealth and disguise, Jia Xu would never have thought of such a strange plan.

After getting out of danger, Emperor Xian was in a good mood and seemed to have improved a little. He exclaimed: "My dear is both wise and brave, and his soldiers are also skilled. When he arrives in Luoyang, I will definitely reward those who have made contributions under him." However, when he saw that his former minister Jia Xu and swordsman Wang Yue both followed Wen Yuan's leader, Emperor Xian felt a little uncomfortable.

Why can't these wise and brave people be used by me? They have become Wen Yuan's people?

After becoming the General of the Chariot and Cavalry, Wen Yuan had the right to be an official in the government. The mansion could have a chief minister, one Sima, two employed by the Central Army, twenty-nine officers, and thirty-one Shi Yu's subordinates. Thinking of the previous title of General of the Chariot and Cavalry, he had the right to choose an official alone in the government. Although the imperial power is now in decline, Yun would not allow the princes to open the government to be an empty document, Emperor Xian still felt a little regretful.

However, this unhappiness disappeared in a blink of an eye. Compared to these trivial matters, Emperor Xian had more expectations and gratitude to Wenyuan. Along the way, Wenyuan was very concerned about himself and the queen, and was very respectful. More importantly, he saved himself from danger many times, and even ignored himself in a dangerous place. If he did not have such a heart to accommodate such a loyal and righteous person, who would be willing to serve the Han in the future?

Only Dong Cheng, after escaping, looked at Wen Yuan with some complexity.

Wen Yuan and his party walked eastward. Although they were still careful, they did not encounter any trouble along the way. Especially after Zhou Cang led more than 100 Xuanying's personal cavalry to join the eastbound team, Wen Yuan was able to run openly along the road to Hangu Pass. With the addition of more than 100 war horses, Wen Yuan's marching speed increased by nearly twice.

Hangu Pass.

Hangu Pass was built by Qin State during the Spring and Autumn Period. It is located in the Plateau in the west, Juejian in the east, Qinling in the south, and Yellow River in the north. It is one of the famous fortresses in China. "It is named because it is deep and dangerous in the valley. The pass is located in a deep and dangerous valley. The terrain is dangerous and can only accommodate a carriage in the narrow area. As the saying goes, "The carriage does not have a square track, and the horse does not revolve together." Moreover, due to the undulating hills and hills, the bottom of Hangu Valley has become the only east-west flat passage in the nearby area. It is an important military place in ancient times. It is the throat of Luoyang in the east and Chang'an in the west. It is known as "the sky opens Hangu to Guanzhong, and the dust is shaking the north." "The two peaks are towering beside the river, and the battlefield in Hangu has been a battlefield since ancient times." Since ancient times, it has been a place that military strategists must fight for.

On August 26th, after more than a month of thrilling journey, Liu Xie finally arrived here. This was the last checkpoint to Luoyang. When he thought of returning to the old place of Dongdu after passing Hangu Pass, he couldn't help but be excited. However, the closer he was to Hangu Pass, the more nervous Liu Xie was. Hangu Pass has always been known as a heroic pass in the world. If Li Jue and Guo Si's troops guarded this place, wouldn't the trip back to Luoyang be moved further?

After Dong Zhuo entered Chang'an west, Hangu Pass was always the gate under Dong Zhuo's control. Although Sun Jian had entered Hangu Pass and forced Xin'an, Mianchi and other places, Sun Jian's troops retreated and were re-occupied by Dong Zhuo. At this gate, Dong Zhuo had been stationed with a thousand permanent troops until after his death, Li Jue and Guo Si took over the power, and there were always troops from Xiliang here.

But now, the flag has been changed at Hangu Pass.

In the distance, Wen Yuan saw the red flag with the character "Zhang" flying on the towering wall. It was still a long way away. The door opened and a soldier rushed out from the gate like a torrent of the pass, and welcoming Wen Yuan and his party. The leader was the silver helmet and white armor, and the white horse and silver spear. It was Zhao Yun, Changshan.

"I will meet the lord at the end," Not far away, Zhao Yun rolled off his horse and bowed to Wenyuan. The more than a thousand infantrymen who left the gate behind him also bowed, and their movements were neat and uniform.

"Your Majesty is here, Zilong and the soldiers quickly salute him," Wen Yuan dared not overthrow the enemy, so he hurriedly said.

"I am the general of the army, Zhao Yun, to meet His Majesty. Long live my emperor," Zhao Yun did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly led his soldiers to salute the young emperor.

"What a mighty army, what a heroic general, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay," Liu Xie was extremely energetic today. Seeing that the general came to be young and handsome, the soldiers were mighty and majestic, he couldn't help but praise him three times.

When Jia Xu saw the soldiers behind Zhao Yun, his eyes were also flashing. Originally, Xuanying Guard and Yeying Guard had already brought him enough shock. However, one of these two soldiers was Wenyuan's guards and the other was a "special" unit dedicated to special tasks. The number was not large. It is understandable that such elite troops were like Dong Zhuo, who had 300,000 soldiers at the heyday, but the Flying Bear Army, which was truly elite, did not exceed 3,000 at most.

Elites need the best equipment, the most passionate fighting spirit, the spirit of not fearing death, and being thoroughly loyal to the lord, which is not so easy to practice.

But now the soldiers and horses in the hands of any general under Wen Yuan were so majestic, which surprised Jia Xu. Although these soldiers were inferior to Xuanying Guards and Yeying Guards, they were still extraordinary elites. Compared with the soldiers Jia Xu had seen before, they were not just professional soldiers and a group of peasants. If Zhang Liao could have 200,000 such soldiers, it would be easier to sweep the entire China, Chu King raised a cauldron.

As we were about to see the ceremony, Zhou Cang suddenly came to report after Wenyuan's team. Li Jue's cousin Li Xian and nephew Li Li led a cavalry to chase him, less than ten miles from Hangu Pass.

Liu Xie was shocked when he heard this. He was not sure what to do. Zhao Yun came forward and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, please go to the pass to rest. Finally, you will go to take the heads of these two people and return in a short while."
