Dagan Border Pass·Hulao Pass

Outside Hulao Pass, I learned early that His Highness the King of Qin was about to command the Hulao Pass, the general of the Hulao Pass, Gongsun Ji, had already been waiting here, waiting for His Highness the King of Qin to arrive in person!

"The last general Gongsun Ji! See Your Highness of the King of Qin!!"

Now that he saw His Highness of the King of Qin coming in the royal car, Gongsun Ji immediately knelt half his knees and saluted respectfully!

"Haha... General Gongsun, no gifts are exempted."

Zhao Zheng smiled and raised his right hand to signal to flatten his body.

Because of the word Gongsun, Zhao Zheng inevitably had a little more intimacy.

It is because the general Gongsun Ji, who guards the border, is not someone else, but Yun'er's uncle, Gongsun Yue, the current minister of the Ministry of War, is a parent-child!

Needless to say, I and Yun'er are the closest intimate relationship among all the royal children.

As for Gongsun Yue, the Minister of War, in addition to being Yuner's grandfather, he is also very close to Zhao Zheng.

In the court, it was Gongsun Yue who stood up for the ninth prince Zhao Zheng who had not yet been crowned as king and pleaded with mercy in public!

Therefore, Zhao Zheng naturally treated the general Gongsun Ji, who was guarding Hulao Pass, as he looked at him as his own.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Gongsun Ji immediately thanked him and stood up. However, before he could stand still, he saw his little niece, the seventh princess Zhao Yun, suddenly laughed and said.

"Ah! Uncle! I am also Your Highness! Why do you only call Your Highness the King of Qin? But you don't recognize me, the Seventh Princess!"

Zhao Yun's words made everyone laugh.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Sister Yun! Why are you always so naughty!"

Zhao Zheng was even more angry and couldn't help but pat her on the head on the spot, signaling her to be more well-behaved.

"Yes, His Highness Seventh Princess taught her lesson..."

As for General Wei Hu Gongsun Ji, he couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He was so funny that he could not help but laugh. He had no choice but to his naughty little niece!

"Okay, okay, being in the border area is not within my own clan at this moment. Sister Yun should not be naughty anymore!"

Zhao Zheng's face turned solemn and said seriously, but he told Yun'er that such a border area was not a place where she was messing around.

"Okay, brother!"

Zhao Yun immediately stuck out her tongue and nodded obediently.

This scene flashed a little bit of glory in Gongsun Ji's eyes!

You must know that my little niece has always been a fearless existence!

In the past, in Xijing City, my father was always helpless, but even His Majesty the Holy Emperor was very troubled!

When have you ever seen her so obedient? She just said a few words? She just cursed her and kept her mouth shut. She looked so well-behaved!

‘Tsk tsk, there is finally someone who can cure Yun'er...’

Gongsun Ji couldn't help but feel surprised.

"General Gongsun, now that he has come here... we will enter the pass, right?"

Zhao Zheng looked at this majestic and majestic pass in the world with curiosity, and was constantly thinking about his plan to make money.

What he is thinking about now is to make money, make money, make money!!

Oh, by the way, it seems that the words my father gave me were to make money (just doing it)...

this!

The father knew his son's virtue too well!

Zhao Zheng laughed "puke" and quickly shook his head, throwing the messy thoughts in his mind behind his head. Seeing that he had arrived in front of the gate, he subconsciously looked up and saw five gold-plated characters printed in the huge plaque!

‘The first level in the world’

"Okay! What a first level in the world!!"

Zhao Zheng was filled with a tide and couldn't help but praise him loudly!

Such a magnificent pass and such a magnificent name as a devouring mountains and rivers is really amazing!!

"Your Highness, Hulao Pass is built according to the mountain, and it is unattainable. The rocks on both sides are more than a hundred feet high, and they are very dangerous and steep, and there is nowhere to focus. You can only attack from the front!"

When General Gongsun Ji, the general of Weihu, saw His Highness praise, he smiled endlessly on his face and explained one by one with great pride.

"The entire fortress is made of carved and piled up by large stones! The city wall is more than three feet high and about four feet thick, and it can be used by two fully armored soldiers at the same time!"

While explaining, everyone climbed the city tower at the same time. From time to time, they patted the solid and thick stone walls with their hands, sighing at the majestic and majestic border rushing!

"In addition, there is a urn city outside the pass, which is also built with large stones to protect the city gates in a circular shape, and a gate tower, an arrow tower, a pheasant and other defensive fortifications are set up!"

As they spoke, everyone had already climbed to the top of the city.

"Hmm? Wengcheng?"

Just when Zhao Zheng was wondering what General Gongsun said about the urncheng, he saw Gongsun pointing in front of him and continuing.

"Your Highness, look...that's the city!"

Zhao Zheng immediately looked in the sound, but saw that there was a city outside the city outside the city, which was in a circular shape and happened to surround the city gate.

This made him curious and immediately asked.

"General Gongsun, why is there a small city outside this city gate? Moreover, the outer city gate and the inner city gate are not aligned yet, and they are not even in a straight line!"

Zhao Zheng was still a little obsessive-compulsive. Seeing that the gate of the outer wall city was not on the same straight line as the gate of the inner city, he suddenly felt a little curious.

"Your Highness doesn't know... This urn is set up to defend the city gate. If the two city gates face each other, wouldn't it be convenient for the enemy to attack the city?"

Gongsun Ji smiled and responded, but immediately made Zhao Zheng realize it!

Oh...so that's it!

The outer city gate and the inner city gate are exactly staggered, not in the same straight line. If the siege army breaks through the outer city gate, it cannot attack the inner city gate in one go!

With such interlacing, the difficulty of siege suddenly increased!!

"So that's it! So that's it!"

Zhao Zheng couldn't help but sigh that the wisdom of the ancients was really admirable!

"But that's more than that! Your Highness, the urn is round, and the inner city gate is wrapped like a urn. If the enemy attacks the urn, our army will wait for an opportunity to close the city gate. At that time, if the internal and external attacks, wouldn't it be enough to catch the turtle in the urn?"

When Gongsun Ji saw that His Highness was interested, he immediately gestured with both hands and explained vividly.

"Hahahaha! What a turtle caught in a jar!!"

Zhao Zheng suddenly laughed, it turned out that the word "catching a turtle in a jar" came from this!

He couldn't help but look at the arrow towers, gate towers, and those jagged walls, namely the snagging walls above the city.

I suddenly sighed in my heart, if I enter this jar, I will be truly dead and lifeless!

"Such a mighty city! It really lives up to its reputation as the world's number one level!!"

Zhao Zheng glanced inside the pass and couldn't help but sigh!

Just because wherever he saw, there was a mystery outside the city, but there was a winding river that surrounded the entire pass!

The river channel is wide and the water is unfathomable. There is only one suspension bridge on the river that can be accessed. It is now being lifted up high, so there is no chance for the enemy to attack at all!

With such strict fortifications, coupled with natural danger and place, Hulao Pass is truly worthy of the name of the world's number one pass!!

"Not bad! Hulao Pass is the first pass in the world! This is the view of the Lord of the Nine Provinces!"

As the general Weihu who guards Huzhu, Gongsun Ji always shows pride whenever he mentions this matter!

"Okay! OK! With this dangerous pass, and with General Gongsun stationed here, I can rest assured that I am not worried about the loss of the country!"

Zhao Zheng nodded in satisfaction and almost praised him on the spot!

"The last general is afraid! Your Highness is over-reputable..."

When Gongsun Ji heard this praise, he couldn't help but look happy and bowed quickly, and was in great fear.

But what he never expected was that His Highness's next words made him weak immediately and almost fell to the ground!!

"General Gongsun... In your opinion, what if Hulao is used as the hub of trade and circulation in the Three Kingdoms?"

Zhao Zheng suddenly spoke, but shocked everyone!

What? Use Hulao border as a trading gate?!

this……

Not very suitable, right?

"Your Highness...the weight of the tiger prison! It is the gateway of the country! No mistakes are allowed!!"

Gongsun Ji suddenly felt the pressure increase sharply, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva and explained in a hurry.

"But what I heard today...is obviously not afraid of any foreign invasion?"
