Chapter 219

Three hundred elite cavalry stopped neatly outside Loufan Pass under the afterglow of the sunset.

These three hundred elite cavalry were Dong Yi's dowry, so naturally they were not old or weak.

The horses were all top-quality Liangzhou warhorses of about seven feet five.

Although the cavalry had no iron armor, everyone wore leather armor, and long weapons, short weapons, and bows and arrows were all available.

At a glance, one knew this was an elite force.

Chen Qing'an was in iron armor, with a white cloak behind him, holding a large spear and looking up at the Loufan Pass, which was sprinkled with the afterglow of the sunset.

Just happened to meet the eyes of Zhang Liao above.

"Who is under the pass?"

"Why come here?"

Although he saw clearly that it was the Han army, Zhang Liao did not immediately order the city gate to be opened, but asked cautiously.

Chen Qing'an took out the document with Dong Zhuo's seal from his chest.

But he did not show the content, held it high with one hand toward the city pass and said: "I am under the command of Inspector Dong, and I have come to Yanmen Commandery to convey an important order."

"This is the official order with Inspector Dong's official seal."

Inspector Dong?

Dong Zhuo?

Zhang Liao on the city pass raised his eyebrows.

Dong Zhuo had been serving as Inspector in Bingzhou for more than four years, and Zhang Liao had naturally heard of him.

Looking at the cavalry under the city pass, Zhang Liao already understood in his heart.

It is said that Dong Zhuo's troops are strong and horses are sturdy, and they intimidate the Qiang tribes in Liangzhou so that they dare not act rashly.

Seeing it today, it is indeed extraordinary.

After Chen Qing'an finished speaking, Zhang Liao turned to look at the deputy general behind him.

"Open the pass gate, it's Inspector Dong's cavalry."

The deputy general behind him nodded.

Then Zhang Liao walked down the city pass together.

Although he was preparing to resign, he was sticking to his last post, and he was leaving Loufan Pass tomorrow morning, so Zhang Liao would naturally not be lazy when he should show up.

Under the city pass.

Chen Qing'an took a deep breath.

Loufan Pass was the last pass to enter Yanmen or leave Yanmen.

As long as Loufan Pass is controlled, the road to Yinguan County, the seat of Yanmen Commandery, is unimpeded.

Right now, as long as Loufan Pass is taken.

Creak~

Accompanied by the opening of the pass gate.

Chen Qing'an did not order the immediate occupation of Loufan Pass.

Gao Shun had taught him.

The best military strategy is to attack the enemy's strategy, followed by attacking the enemy's alliances, followed by attacking the enemy's troops, and the worst is attacking the city.

If they forcibly attacked Loufan Pass, the news would definitely leak.

Inside the pass, Zhang Liao walked out of Loufan Pass with several soldiers.

When Chen Qing'an on the horse saw Zhang Liao walking out of the pass, his expression was slightly surprised.

Chen Qing'an turned off his horse, and the three hundred elite cavalry behind him also turned off their horses together.

"I am Chen Qing'an." Chen Qing'an bowed to Zhang Liao: "May I ask if the General is the Captain guarding Loufan Pass?"

Chen Qing'an was a little confused.

He hadn't seen clearly when Zhang Liao was standing on the pass just now, but now that the distance was close, Chen Qing'an saw at a glance that Zhang Liao's age was only about the same as his.

And looking at the soldiers behind Zhang Liao, and the armor on his body, they were definitely not ordinary soldiers.

Zhang Liao bowed in return and said: "I am Zhang Liao, the deputy general of Wang Han, the Captain guarding Loufan Pass."

Deputy general.

That is also a Captain.

Chen Qing'an was surprised.

Zhang Liao already held the position of Captain at this age?

And Zhang Liao, who was looking at Chen Qing'an, was also very surprised.

Also surprised by Chen Qing'an's youth.

"Captain Zhang."

Chen Qing'an sorted out his emotions and bowed: "I have come to convey the order of the Inspector, since Captain Zhang is the deputy of Captain Wang, then I have to trouble Captain Zhang to lead the way and convey this order to Captain Wang."

Zhang Liao frowned slightly when he heard this.

He didn't want to see Wang Han again.

But seeing so many elite cavalry coming, and fearing that some important matter would be delayed, he had to nod his head and bite the bullet.

"Okay, Brother Chen, follow me."

Seeing that everything went smoothly, Chen Qing'an's nervous mood relaxed slightly, and then he followed Zhang Liao into the pass.

The three hundred elite cavalry behind him also followed into Loufan Pass.

The soldiers in Loufan Pass and on the pass looked at Chen Qing'an and the soldiers under his command with envious eyes.

Zhang Liao was naturally envious too.

Looking at these soldiers, they were tall and well-equipped.
