Baoxieguan

When Liu Fan led his army to the pass, the city gate had been reinforced by Xu Huang.

Originally, the Guanzhong garrison soldiers were also replaced by Xu Huang's elite troops.

Replacing the defenders is also a definite intention. After all, this is not only to strengthen the strength of the defenders in Chengguan, but also to declare to the outside world that from today on Baoxieguan will no longer be a guard against people from Hanzhong, but as a fortress for retreating to Hanzhong.

After briefly learning about the military situation of Xu Huang entering Guanzhong from the Baoxieguan Army, Liu Fan led Fa Zheng to Chengguan together and looked at Guanzhong, which was fertile for thousands of miles.

Looking at him, Liu Fan and Fa Zheng were both stunned.

After a while, Liu Fan sighed quietly and turned his head to look at Fa Zheng, "I believe Xiaozhi has never seen such a desolate scene in Guanzhong for so many years, right?"

Looking at the devastated Guanzhong Plain, Fa Zheng was sobbing that he couldn't speak for a while. After a long time, he shook his head again, sighed, and said helplessly and sadly: "I haven't met him. Although I had thought that Li Guo would ruin Guanzhong in a bad way, I didn't expect that he would become like this."

The barren plains are overgrown with weeds. Under the majesty of early autumn, it seems that this once rich plain has instantly entered a cold winter.

The green plants and trees originally in midsummer gradually withered and yellow, setting off some dirt roads without grass family, gray-yellow and depressed.

At first glance, there are almost no places where crops are planted in the Guanzhong Plain. Even if there are planting places, it seems that the vegetation withered and yellow due to the severe drought in Guanzhong this year, and there may not be much harvest.

It can be foreseen that with this situation, Guanzhong this winter will surely be a cruel year of famine.

He sighed silently. In fact, Liu Fan saw more than Fa Zheng. Guanzhong now only seems to be a good harvest, but Liu Fan knew that Guanzhong this year had many disasters and difficulties.

Because soon, a locust plague will be set off in Guanzhong, which will undoubtedly add to the insult to the food in Guanzhong. At that time, Guanzhong was really full of hunger and eating.

Liu Fan knew that such a thing would happen, and he didn't want to see the originally stable land of Guanzhong, which turned into a cruel hell on earth, so he took the responsibility to come to Guanzhong.

He is not a saint, but he is not a cold-blooded and ruthless machine. Regardless of the fact that Guanzhong was originally the territory he planned, he would not watch the population of hundreds of thousands or even millions disappear. Even if it was for the sake of the Han people in the future, Liu Fan could not let Guanzhong lose money.

In fact, if it were not for the famine during this period, the large-scale population loss and death of the population would be difficult to form a virtuous cycle. A hundred years later, how could the Hu people in the north dare to go south arrogantly?

In the past, Emperor Gao established his capital in Chang'an, and the population of Guanzhong flourished. The former Han Dynasty once developed to a huge scale of millions to nearly tens of millions.

With such a large population, facing more than 100,000 Huns, they can naturally deal with it calmly.

After the Later Han Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang, the population of Guanzhong fell again and again, and the sparse population led to the possibility of rebellion at will invade Xiliang.

The trouble of conquering Hu Qiang made Guanxi a useless ribs for the court. The Grand Marshal Cui Lie once suggested that Emperor Ling abandon Guanzhong and stick to the Central Plains. Although he was fiercely opposed by court officials at that time, there were probably many Shandong scholars who had such ideas.

After Dong Zhuo later entered Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an, the entire Guanxi really became the world of the Xiliang army.

It should be noted that in Liangzhou, except for a few generals who sent to guard Hu Qiang, were basically all criminals who had committed crimes. Now, after years of accumulation, these people have become indigenous people of Liangzhou.

Now with Dong Zhuo's strong rise, the Xiliang army has also been rampant in Guanzhong. Therefore, the people on this land are bullied, plundered and famine have led to the loss of most of the population. Guanzhong has also grown from its original vitality to a depressed population.

Such a harsh environment will last for several years, and will eventually lead to Guanzhong being unable to return to its former prosperity.

Liu Fanzheng decided to fight because he knew the importance of Guanzhong. He was not looking at the present, but in the future, ten or even a hundred years later. Although he is involved in Guanzhong affairs now, he may have to tighten his belt and even face the siege of the group of wolves in Liangzhou.

But he must survive this level, because only by passing this level can he have the opportunity to rise up with a foundation, and to talk about it, and look forward to the future.

"Guanzhong is the place where Emperor Gao is the dragon-rise, but now it has become this scene, which is really regrettable." Looking around the Guanzhong Plain, Liu Fan was also a little sad, "I hope that my entry into Guanzhong can curb this decline."

Turning his head and staring at Liu Fan in a daze. At this moment, Fa Zheng seemed to see hope again, "As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the general has the important task of revitalizing the world. Guanzhong should also be blessed by the general. I ask the general to protect the people of Guanzhong!"

When he bowed and bowed, Liu Fan's expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to help Fa Zheng up, "Why should Xiaozhi be like this? Since I entered Guanzhong, I should do my best and never retreat when I encounter danger!"

Liu Fan could feel that Fa Zheng placed all his hopes on him. At this moment, Fa Zheng was a little like a man who was about to drown and desperately grabbed a life-saving straw, struggling desperately to hold it.

Obviously, Liu Fan did not have the idea of ​​not saving him, so he then evolved into an inspirational picture of the relationship between the king and the minister.

After pausing for a moment at Baoxie Pass City Pass, the person sent by Xu Huang to pick him up had arrived.

"Dingdengdeng." As Liu Fan's personal follower on this trip, Wei Yan has been responsible for passing military orders and integrating the news. "General, General Xu's men brought back the news. The town of Mei County has been taken down, waiting for the army to enter Guanzhong."

Nodded, Liu Fan did not say nonsense, "Sentence, Yan Yan and Zhang Ren led their headquarters to Chen Cang and Wu Gong, and Ling Bao and others led their troops to join me in the stationed county."

"Abide by the order!" Wei Yan quickly turned around and sent the order.

Although Liu Fan seemed to have leisure to enjoy the scenery in Baoxieguan at this time, in fact, he was mainly to wait for the troops behind him.

The soldiers led by Xu Huang were good at mountain warfare and were also vanguard troops, so they arrived at Baoxie Pass half a month ago and entered Guanzhong. However, Liu Fan and the follow-up troops were different. They were all ordinary Bashu soldiers. Although there was no big problem with marching in the mountains, there were too many soldiers in the army, and marching in the narrow mountains was still quite time-consuming.

Therefore, when Xu Huang had already spread the news that Liu Fan led the Bashu army in Guanzhong, Liu Fancai led the central army to Baoxie Pass. However, Liu Fan finally entered Guanzhong and successfully met Xu Huang.

Soon, a large number of soldiers rushed out under Baoxie Pass, and the troops were divided into three groups to advance towards Mei County, Chencang and Wugong.

When Liu Fan led his army to the pass at Baoxie Pass, Chengguan had been reinforced by Xu Huang.

Originally, the Guanzhong garrison soldiers were also replaced by Xu Huang's elite troops.

Replacing the defenders is also a definite intention. After all, this is not only to strengthen the strength of the defenders in Chengguan, but also to declare to the outside world that from today on Baoxieguan will no longer be a guard against people from Hanzhong, but as a fortress for retreating to Hanzhong.

Because soon, a locust plague will be set off in Guanzhong, which will undoubtedly make things worse for Guanzhong, which is already insufficient food. At that time, Guanzhong was really full of hunger and eating.

Liu Fan knew that such a thing would happen, and he didn't want to see the originally stable land of Guanzhong, which turned into a cruel hell on earth, so he took the responsibility to come to Guanzhong.
