Hukou Pass is located in Huguan County, Shangdang County. It is the entrance to the Taihang Mountains in the northeast. It is named because the mountain shape is steep and resembles the mouth of a teapot.
Continue heading southwest along Hukou Pass, passing Tianjing Pass, Wuruan Pass, and finally Hangu Pass along the mountain.
This line of pass is the protective barrier in Luoyang, Gyeonggi Province, and has always been a heavily guarded military base. Therefore, Dong Zhuo took control of Hukou Pass as soon as he entered Beijing. The coalition forces knew that Hukou Pass was an important military base, but no one wanted to
Come to attack.
The biggest difference between Hukou Pass and Hangu Pass is that Hangu Pass is a purely military pass, and there are no other personnel except the army. Hukou Pass and Huguan County are actually mutually exclusive and do not exist independently.
.
This also resulted in nearly 10,000 civilians living in Hukou Pass. These settlements were originally temporary residences built by the families of soldiers guarding the pass. Later, with the opening of trade routes between the Central Plains and the Northland grasslands, more people gathered in Hukou Pass.
The population has increased and it has now developed into a small town under the jurisdiction of Huguan County.
When Lin Feng led his army to the Hukou Pass, the defenders did not panic after closing it. Even the gate of the pass was not completely closed. The half-open door still had merchants and people coming in and out, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
Jushou looked at Hukou Pass and sighed.
Before coming, Xun Yu informed Ju Shou of the list of secret spies and contacts he had arranged in Luoyang. Xun Yu even arranged for manpower in the small town inside Hukou Pass.
Of course, these people were not arranged in advance by Xun Yu in anticipation that he would attack Hukou Pass in the future, but they were the escape route arranged by Xun Yu in advance for Lin Feng when he was in Luoyang.
When Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty just passed away, Lin Feng's position in Luoyang was not stable. Xun Yu was worried that Lin Feng would fall out with the general He Jin because of Jian Shuo. If there was any disharmony, he could escape to Luoyang as soon as possible through Hukou Pass.
The Shangdang area was, after all, the former home base of the Black Mountain Army.
Xun Yu was not a god, so he could never have predicted that Lin Feng not only did not encounter any danger in Luoyang, but became famous and famous, so the backup plan arranged in Hukou Pass was never used.
After Jushou took over these secret spies, he had been thinking about how to use the secrets in the pass to capture the pass since he learned that Lin Feng wanted to attack Hukou Pass.
It's a pity that Lin Feng didn't pay attention to Hukou Pass at all, and had already obtained detailed information about the defenders of Hukou Pass from other channels, so Ju Shou felt a little sad.
It's not good to follow a master who is too powerful. There will be nowhere to put all your talents to use.
Unexpectedly, after the army started to set up camp, Lin Feng came to Jushou happily, and his first words made Jushou almost sit on the ground.
"Hukou Pass is right in front of us. I wonder if you have any good strategies that can help our army easily win this pass?"
Jushou looked up at Lin Feng sadly: "Master, didn't you mean a small spout?
Can a battle be decided? I think the lord has already decided on a strategy to overcome the barrier."
Lin Feng shook his head, with a mean smile on his face: "I am good at charging into battle, but setting mountains on fire is a technical job. I have never done it before, so it is unprofessional!"
Jushou's face was full of horror, and for a moment he seemed to have seen a ghost.
During the march, he had already made contact with the hidden people in Hukou Pass, and had already prepared countless fire starters throughout the pass. It was only because he misunderstood that Lin Feng had other agendas that he did not reveal his plan to set fire to Hukou.
.
He never expected that Lin Feng would reveal his plan so openly without even informing Xun Yu. He just had a one-way contact with the secret agents at Hukou Pass.
What does this mean?
This shows that the intelligence power in Lin Feng's hands is far stronger than the power in his hands, and the concealment of Lin Feng's power is still higher than Xun Yu's estimation.
Since the army set off from Pingyuan, Jushou has taken over most of Pingyuan County's espionage system. The more he understands this system, the more Jushou admires Xunyu's talents.
If the intelligence organization established by Xun Yu was given a perfect score, then the evaluation of the intelligence system under Jizhou Mu Han Fu would be only 5 stars. Of course, the scale used here is 100 stars, and Han Fu is a scumbag.
But comparing Xun Yu's intelligence system with Lin Feng's, Lin Feng can get about 10,000 stars?
Completely crushed!
"How did my lord know that the professor had prepared fire to attack Hukou Pass?"
Lin Feng turned around and said, "Then you can burn it. Call me when it's done. I'll go to sleep first."
Jushou was confused. Is such a lord reliable or unreliable?
Why do you feel something is wrong?
The guard who closed the spout of the pot held his hands and stamped his mouth, looking at the dark enemy camp under the gutter, and sighed softly.
"The enemy was not fooled. It seems that Master Xu Rong's plan did not succeed. Order the brothers to seal the gate of the pass."
Xu Rong's army had not yet arrived at Hukou Pass, but the military order had been delivered in advance. According to his deployment, the Hukou defenders deliberately left the gate ajar in order to lure Lin Feng to storm Hukou Pass.
There is only a narrow path leading to Hukou Pass, and at most two carriages can go parallel. If Lin Feng really wanted to attack with his troops, it would be impossible to attack the pass without throwing four to five thousand corpses in front of the pass.
Xu Rong didn't care about the small Hukou Pass at all. He just wanted to use the dangerous terrain to consume the enemy's effective strength.
Hukou Pass was originally built to prevent invasion from grassland tribes. Therefore, Huguan County was built outside Hukou Pass at the same time. This city and gates complement each other to form a complete defense system for Hukou. Unfortunately, Hukou Pass is currently controlled in the west.
In the hands of the Liang Army, Binghuguan County is in the hands of the Bingzhou Army. This is doomed in itself.
Hukou Pass cannot be defended for long.
Xu Rong carefully analyzed all the battle records of Lin Feng since his debut. He believed in his own judgment. Lin Feng always dared to fight and charge in battles. It relied more on his personal bravery and rarely relied on strategy to win. Therefore, he ordered Hu
The door was half-closed, just to lure Lin Feng into attacking the mouth of the pot at all costs.
If all the energy of Lin Feng's army can be consumed in front of Hukou Pass, then Xu Rong will be sure to lead the Xiliang cavalry to kill the so-called undefeated generals Lin Feng and Lin Zhirou in front of Hangu Pass.
It's a pity that Xu Rong underestimated Lin Feng and overestimated himself.
That night, after a good meal, all the soldiers of the Zhongzi Camp went back to their tents to rest regardless of the weather. The experienced veterans continued to teach the new recruits who were excited and unable to sleep when they first entered the battlefield. The general ordered that they sleep after the meal.
There is action in the latter half of the night, so if you don't sleep during this time, you will die on the battlefield in confusion, but you can't blame others.
Taishi Ci followed Lin Feng, looking a little hesitant: "Third brother, Cizi camp has not fought a decent battle since the day it was built. Now it is a small Hukou Pass. You can leave it to us Cizi camp."
What else is the camp worried about? Why does it have to take action from the eldest brother?"
Lin Feng spread his hands helplessly: "Second brother, you didn't dare to say anything when the eldest brother stared at you. Why did you wait for the eldest brother to take away the general's order to attack Hukou, and then you came over to tease me, as if I dared to take it from the eldest brother's hand?"
It's like snatching the order back, do you think I'm that wise?"
Taishi Ci paused for a moment, and then started to lie: "Then I don't care, I still say there is no use of a bull's knife to kill a chicken. The garrison at Hukou Pass can only be 2,000, so why send out the Zhongzi Camp?"
Lin Feng was about to cry: "Second brother, you feel panicked from holding it in, and I feel uncomfortable holding it in, okay? Who told us to be young? Anyway, I don't dare to compete with eldest brother, I want to compete with you yourself."
Tai Shici was still waiting to continue grinding, when Zhao Yun and Zhao Siye rushed over from afar: "Third brother, we are attacking Hukou tonight. The eldest brother has to lead the charge in person. How can it make sense? As the commander in chief, the eldest brother should be in charge.
If something happens in the rear, I will do my best and leave the little Hukou Pass to me. You can rest assured."
Lin Feng smiled bitterly: "Second brother, you don't have to compete with the eldest brother. Let's arrange the fourth brother first."
Taishi Ci looked at Zhao Zilong who was running from a distance, and sighed: "Okay, I won't rob him anymore."
Jushou, who was not far away, clenched his fist secretly: "Come on, let me, Jushou, Duke Ju, take the first victory in the Pingyuan Army's battle!"
The spout of the pot was closed, and in a blacksmith shop in the market town, many relatives and friends came and went one after another. Today, the host's family was treating guests, and even several officers from the garrison at Guan Guan were here.
The old blacksmith’s surname is Zhang, and his three sons make a living by him. Lao Zhang’s blacksmith shop is the largest ironware shop in Hukou Town. Not only does his family supply the daily necessities for the people in the town, but the occasional damage to the military camp is not serious.
Weapons and equipment will also be sent to the shop for repair.
