Back to the Three Kingdoms

Chen Lang was stunned, and thought: "Wen He is right, it is true." His heart moved, "Guo Jia! It must be Guo Jia!"

Both Jia Xu and Chen Gong had expressions, and Chen Gong said: "I have heard rumors that Xun Yu once said that Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai belong to Zhang Liangxiao and they have talents. I thought it was an exaggeration, but now It seems that Guo Jia is really well-deserved! He has seen such small flaws in Wenhe after repeated ingenuity!"

Chen Lang knew about Guo Jia, but he had never heard of Xi Zhicai. Hearing that Chen Gong would go hand in hand with Guo Jia, he couldn't help asking: "Who is Xi Zhi?"

Chen Gong said, "Like Guo Jia, he is also a counselor recommended by Xun Yu to Cao Cao. I have never met him, even Xu Chang did not meet him that day. I think he might be responsible for Cao Cao behind Cao Cao. Light things."

Chen Lang thought to himself: "Since Xun Yu recommended it to Cao Cao, it must be no one to wait." Putting the matter down for the time being, he raised his head and asked the two of them: "Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's raid has been defeated now. What will people do next? Will they attack us?"

Chen Gong smiled and said, "If Cao Cao had such a plan, he would not retreat immediately after he realized that we had seen through his mechanism."

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, they are very afraid of the lord. Unless they have a perfect opportunity, they would not easily fight the lord in public." After a pause, he said; "From the current situation, they The two of us who came to attack us should be more temporary. Their strategy should not be to fight us right now! Yuan Shao will at least wait until Gongsun Zan takes over Youzhou before he can use troops against us, and Cao Cao, I think he Xuzhou's next target should be Xuzhou. Now that the opportunity is rare, I just take this opportunity to develop and grow myself." Chen Gong said: "Wenhe is extremely true. But for the sake of safety, it is not appropriate for us to transfer heavy troops to Hangu Pass for the time being!"

It is said that Yuan Shao encountered a sudden ambush by Gan Ning's army when he marched into the Taihang Mountains. On the steep mountain road, the soldiers led by Gan Ning killed the corpses and suffered heavy losses. Yuan Shao hurriedly led the army back to Yecheng. Yuan Shao, who suffered a loss, was very annoyed. Not only did he call out that Cao Cao had been pitted, he also severely reprimanded Tian Feng, who had tried his best to make it happen.

Soon after, Yuan Shao received a letter from Xu You. In the letter, Xu You satirized Tian Feng and seduce Yuan Shao's anger that had been subdued. In angrily, he demoted Tian Feng to the prefect of Langya and sent him away. When Yuan Shao wanted to come, it was probably because he wanted to avoid seeing. Then Yuan Shao followed Xu You’s suggestion and ordered Zhang Yun to continue to guard the Taihang Mountains, Gao Lan as a general, appointed as a military division, and guard along the Yellow River. Yuan Shao himself led the main force northward, preparing to implement the plan made long ago to attack Youzhou. .

At the same time, Cao Cao found an excuse to send troops to Xuzhou. Just as Cao Cao led his army to Xuchang, he suddenly received an urgent report saying that his father was killed by soldiers sent by Tao Qian to guard him on his way to Xuchang. A group of dozens of people were killed and he was carrying him. Gold and silver jewellery were looted. Cao Cao was frightened and angry, and immediately mourned for his father in Xuchang. Above the hall, Cao Cao complained Tao Qian's guilt and vowed to pay Tao Qian's blood.

The news soon reached Xuzhou. Tao Qian was terrified and worried, and quickly consulted with the counsellors Mi Zhu and Chen Deng around him.

Tao Qian cried: "I originally wanted to make friends with Cao Cao by this means, but I didn't expect this to happen! The friendship failed, it ended up in trouble!"

Mi Zhu and Chen Deng were also deeply moved. Chen Deng said, "This matter is not the lord’s fault. The lord’s **** was a good intention. It was unexpected that Zhang Kai did not change his mind to do such a thing. Perhaps the lord repaired a letter written by the lord to reveal the cause of Cao’s. Maybe we can escape this difficulty."

Tao Qian hurriedly repaired a letter, but said in embarrassment: "The letter has been repaired, but who can be the messenger?"

Mi Zhu suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Lord, Liu Xuande is now taking care of the lord. This person has courage and has had several connections with Cao Cao. It is better to beg him to submit a book and take the opportunity to persuade Cao Cao. Maybe it is. I can get through this catastrophe!"

Chen Deng was shocked and said, "I forgot about Liu Xuande!" Then he clasped his fists to Tao Qian, "Liu Xuande is the best candidate. Please call him to discuss the matter quickly, explain the matter, and beg him to send me a book!" Tao Qian was already distraught. Hearing what the two said, he only felt as if he had caught a life-saving straw and hurriedly sent someone to summon Liu Xuande.

Liu Bei, formerly followed the Eighteenth Route princes against Dong Zhuo. Afterwards, he followed Cao Cao back to Xuchang, and not long after he left Xuchang, he led Zhang Fei and his 3,000 soldiers to seek refuge with Tao Qian. So far I have stayed in Xuzhou.

Things in Xuzhou were temporarily put down, and his eyes turned to Hangu Pass. It is said that after Chen Lang resolved the crisis of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao’s incoming soldiers, he guarded the Luoyang area with Guan Yu, Chen Gong, and some soldiers and horses. He himself led the military division Jia Xu and Zhao Zilong, Dianwei, and Chunyuqiong. One hundred and fifty thousand troops were reinforced in Hangu Pass.

Hangu Pass. Dong Zhuo led an army of 300,000 troops to attack Hangu Pass for nearly ten days. On the wasteland in front of Hangu Pass, corpses were seen everywhere, and the wreckage of various siege equipment was everywhere. After ten days, Dong Zhuojun failed to break through Hangu Pass, but his own loss was not small.

Another day's fierce attack ended, Dong Zhuojun was exhausted and exhausted, Dong Zhuo had no choice but to temporarily retreat.

Inside the big tent, Dong Zhuo roared angrily: "The 300,000 army, after a long time, I still can't break the barrier! How did you do it?"

auzw.com The generals did not dare to look at Dong Zhuo's face and bowed their heads.

Li Rudao: "The Taishi calmed down. Our opponent is not an ordinary character, but the Yingyangjun! Yingyangjun is famous for his bravery and toughness. Now he is resisting our army by relying on the natural danger of Xiongguan. It is naturally not easy to eliminate them. What a thing!"

Dong Zhuo's anger was slightly restrained, he glanced at everyone and asked, "Which one of you can break through the Hangu Pass?" Everyone looked at each other without saying a word. In the ten days of fierce attack, almost all the siege methods have been exhausted, but the city can't be broken at all! No one knows what to do.

Li Ru suddenly said, "Teacher, I have a plan."

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Li Ru, and Dong Zhuo hurriedly said: "If you have a clever plan, just say it quickly!"

Li Ru glanced at Lu Bu and said to Dong Zhuo; "The defender Zhang Liao at Hangu Pass was originally Wen Hou's subordinate. The reason why he turned his back against the Taishi and turned to Chen Lang before, can also be said to be because of misunderstanding. It is better to Ling. Wen Hou went to the city gate to call for surrender, Zhang Liao would surely come out and surrender immediately when he saw the old master!"

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, and said: "Okay! This way is good!"

Li Ru said again: "The Taishi can promise a high-ranking official to be generous, so that Zhang Liao will definitely come to vote without any worries!"

Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "If Zhang Liao can regain his loyalty to this Taishi, this Taishi will naturally not care about him, and the high officials will be indispensable to him! As long as he is willing to come, I will call him a tiger and benevolent general, and at the same time worship him. Hangu Hou!" Li Ru hurriedly said: "Taishi wise!!" Dong Zhuo laughed.

Early in the morning of the next day, Zhang Liao came to the upper floor of the city gate early, ready to deal with Dong Zhuojun's new round of offensive.

The sun rises from the east, and Dong Zhuo's army is coming from the west. Under the sunshine, I can see the sea like a tide, as if it is endless!

Dong Zhuo's army stopped two hundred steps before arriving at Chengguan. Immediately I saw a general riding a fiery red dragon horse flying out of the army formation and rushing towards the city gate. The general was wearing a golden crown with a juvenile tail, a shirt of hundreds of flowers, a chain of iron armor, and a Fang Tian painted halberd. Lv Bu Lu Fengxian of'Lu Bu in the People, Red Rabbit in the Horses'.

Lü Bu rushed to the gate of the city, strangled the horse, and screamed; "Zhang Liao, come out and speak!"

Seeing that it was Lv Bu, Zhang Liao didn't dare to neglect his feelings, so he immediately ordered several lieutenants to go down the city gate, rode out on horseback, and came to Lv Bu.

Zhang Liao clasped his fist and said, "General Lu, don't come here unharmed!"

Lu Bu shouted angrily: "Zhang Liao, I treat you not so badly, why are you betraying me?"

A feeling of guilt flashed in Zhang Liao's heart, and he quickly returned to normal. He clasped his fist and said: "Dong Zhuo is cruel and cruel, and harms the people. I don't want to work for Dong Zhuo! The general is a dragon and a phoenix among the people, the posture of a god, why Mingzhu secretly voted for this villain Serve? It is better to submit to the general like the last general! Let's clean up this chaotic world together, wouldn't it be great!"

Lu Bu frowned.

Zhang Liao continued: "To serve Dong Zhuo with the talent of a general is like a tiger working for a pig and a dog. The final general is really worthless! The final general heard that Dong Zhuo's treatment of generals has been much worse than before, and Dong Zhuo is like that. I am unrighteous, I am afraid that the general will stay with Dong Zhuo sooner or later, he will be harmed! For the sake of the general's wealth, we should get out of it early!"

Lu Bu couldn't help sighing. I was shocked to realize the purpose of my trip, and he shouted angrily: "Zhang Liao, don't gossip! Let me ask you, do you want to return to the Taishi? The Taishi said, as long as you can regret and rejoin the commander. , Taishi can forgive you for the past, and make you a tiger and benevolent general, pay homage to Guhou. The high-ranking officials are in front of you, Zhang Liao, don't be stupid! Humph, if you dare to say nothing, my Fangtian painting Ji will not show mercy!"

Zhang Liao frowned, clasped his fist and said, "I'm sorry, the general! I have decided that I will swear allegiance to the general in this life, and I will be crushed!"

Lu Bu was furious and shouted: "Looking for death!" As he said, he waved Fang Tian's painted halberd and attacked Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao immediately raised his sword to support him, and said: "The general's kindness in the past will definitely be repaid, but at the end of the day, I will have to meet the general soldier!" He pushed up Fang Tian's painting halberd with both hands and pushed away. Le turned his head and rushed into the city. Lu Bu wanted to catch up. At this moment, the city closed like arrows raining down. Lu Bu quickly pushed aside the arrows, turned his head and ran back to the army.
