Looking at everyone's somewhat shocked expressions, Zhou Fan sneered.

This step in the customs was planned by him a long time ago, but Zhou Fan never told others. As for the princes of the Eighteenth Road to ask Dong Zhuo, Zhou Fan could only hehe.

Accompany the group of princes with ghosts to play family games, go to Luoyang to play a scene, forced Dong Zhuo to move the capital to Chang'an, and then go back to their respective homes, occupy the land as the king, Zhou Fan is not so idle, then Luoyang has to go, but this level must also be taken.

"I seconded it!" Xun You's eyes flashed with a fine light, with his eyes, how could he not see Zhou Fan's intention to obtain Guanzhong, and said without hesitation: "Guanzhong has always been a must-take place for soldiers. In the past, Great Qin rose from this pass, and later obtained Yizhou, and gradually won the world. The lord now has Yizhou, if he obtains Guanzhong, he can imitate the trend of the pre-Qin and compete for the world! ”

"I'll second." Everyone look at me, I look at you, and they all agree.

Seeing this, the corners of Zhou Fan's mouth also showed a smile, everyone thought that it was a good idea to take the pass, so it was naturally the best.

"But the lord, now this pass is still the pass of the Han Dynasty after all, if the lord is good at using swords, it is inevitable that he will fall into the mouth." Huang Zhong said with some concern.

Hearing this, Zhou Fan also showed a hint of a smile, how could he not notice this kind of thing related to his wings.

"Hansheng, let me ask you, whose hands are in this pass now?" Zhou Fan asked with a smile.

"Now Guanzhong is naturally in Dong Zhuo's hands." Huang Zhong said without thinking.

These days, they Yizhou has explored the most information about Sili, Liangzhou, and Bingzhou, so they naturally know the most about the intelligence in Guanzhong.

Since Dong Zhuo took control of the government in Luoyang, it was naturally nepotism, and he arranged many important places with his own people.

And in that pass, it is naturally the top priority, Dong Zhuo is now in Luoyang, but his hometown is in Longxi. There is exactly a pass between the two places, which means that this pass is the link connecting the two places, so Dong Zhuo naturally has to be heavily guarded.

In that Longxi, Dong Zhuo's hometown. There is his Dong Zhuo's family there, so he Dong Zhuo also laid down an army of 50,000 and was left behind by his Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu.

And in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo didn't care too much, after all, Dong Zhuo had not yet encountered the crusade of the princes of the Eighteenth Road. There was no idea of moving the capital, so he just left his most trusted clansman Dong Yue to garrison.

However, although this Chang'an did not leave many troops, outside of Chang'an, there was a Xiongguan Hangu Pass, where Dong Zhuo left the general Xu Rong and 50,000 soldiers and horses to guard, as long as this Hangu Pass was held by him Dong Zhuo, then he Dong Zhuo could communicate any resources between Chang'an and Luoyang at any time.

Speaking of Hangu Pass, it is definitely the number one male pass in the world, although it may not be as good as the Tiger Prison Pass, but I'm afraid it's not much different. Zhou Fan wants to attack Luoyang directly, but it is not possible to take this Hangu Pass first, and Zhou Fan wants to take Hangu Pass, which also has two big problems.

One of them, of course, is the Hangu Pass itself. Some people have also said that Hangu Pass is Tongguan, which has the reputation of being the first pass in the world, but now in Zhou Fan's opinion, this is an impossible thing.

Although this Tongguan and Hangu Pass are also located on the valley road from Chang'an to Luoyang, there are still some differences between the two sides. But Rao is so, if you want to take it, it will not be easy.

Tongguan in history, that is, it was built in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. And the person who built Tongguan happened to be Cao Cao.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao built Tongguan in order to prevent the rebellion of the Guanxi Army, and it was at that time that Hangu Pass was abandoned.

And after that. Cao Cao and Ma Chao and Han Sui fought in Tongguan, which made the name of Tongguan spread to the world, and then experienced the migration and reconstruction of various dynasties, which made this Tongguan get the reputation of the first pass in the world.

As for now, that Tongguan has not yet been born, and if this pass is obtained by Zhou Fan now, I don't know if there will be this Tongguan in the future.

As for this second problem, it is now Xu Rong, the guard of Hangu Pass.

The number of people under Dong Zhuo's command is really quite a lot, but there are also many factions among them, and there are endless battles.

However, in general, Dong Zhuo's command is divided into three factions, the Xiliang faction, the Bingzhou faction, and the Luoyang faction.

Needless to say, this Xiliang faction is all his Dong Zhuo's old subordinates, and the original team is gone.

Among them, there are four major Zhonglang generals, Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Hu Zhen, and Duan Xuan, and this Liangzhou faction is also divided into two factions.

Among them, Niu Fu is his Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and Dong Yue is his Dong Zhuo's clan, so he controls the internal system, and he is also the person he Dong Zhuo trusts the most.

And Hu Zhen and Duan Xuan are both outsiders, so they control the external system of the Xiliang Army, and the two sides can be regarded as holding each other back.

The second largest faction is naturally the Na Bingzhou faction, needless to say, this faction is the original team of Na Ding Yuan, and now they are following him Lu Bu and taking refuge in Na Dong Zhuo. It is precisely because of this that Lu Bu has also become the fifth major lieutenant general in addition to Dong Zhuo's four major lieutenant generals.

The last faction is the Luoyang faction.

After Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he directly annexed Luoyang's Northern Army and Xiyuan Army in one go, and these armies were Dong Zhuo's third faction, the Luoyang faction.

And that Xu Rong was promoted to the army by Dong Zhuo at this time, took control of the Luoyang faction, and became the sixth lieutenant general under his Dong Zhuo.

However, these two factions are foreign factions after all, that Dong Zhuo is suspicious by nature, and rarely let Xu Rong and Lu Bu lead the troops alone, even that Xu Rong was stationed at Hangu Pass, and he also sent people to hinder him, what he was afraid of was that the two of them would defect, but fortunately, Xu Rong was loyal, and Dong Zhuo, who promoted him, would naturally not rebel, as for Lu Bu, it was hard to say.

Among so many people in Dong Zhuo, in terms of bravery, he is naturally the first that Lu Bu deserves, but in terms of commander, there is no doubt that he Xu Rong is the first.

This Xu Rong is a little like Zhou Yu, but he is a slightly weaker Zhou Yu, a Confucian general.

In history, Sun Jian and Cao Cao both suffered defeats in the hands of Xu Rong, although there must be various factors, but they can also be Xu Rong's generals. Therefore, if Zhou Fan wants to obtain Hangu Pass, then Xu Rong is also a big trouble. (To be continued.) )
