"Lu Bu is really dead?" Although Yan Yan was still forcibly calming, anyone could hear the surprise and excitement in his tone, "Are you sure?" What is the situation in the Dong thief camp now? ”

"The whole army hangs filial piety, and the cry is earth-shattering." The fine work who went to inquire about the news gasped and said: "The camps and villages of the Dong thief have hung white cloths, and there are spirit-conjuring flags erected in front of the main camp, as well as the sound of mourning music. ”

"Great." Yan Yan's adjutant general cheered: "As soon as Lu Bu dies, Dong Thief's partial division will retreat, Yangping Pass will be safe and sound, the lost county can now be successfully recovered, and the main force of Dong Thief will also lose morale, and it is only a matter of time before the army retreats." General Yan, you have made a great achievement. ”

Although Yan Yan was excited, he still didn't dare to get carried away because he was steady, and he didn't dare to take risks without seeing Lu Bu's corpse with his own eyes. After pondering for a long time, Yan Yan still decided to be cautious, "You take a few people and walk the mountain road with me to explore in front of the Dong thief's camp to see if Lu Bu is really dead." ”

Although the deputy general felt that Yan Yan was a little too cautious, but still followed the order, two hours later, Yan Yan and others walked around the path to Dong Zhuo's military camp, as Xi Zuo said, Dong Zhuo's army camp has been crying and shaking the sky, and the main tent has also erected a five-zhang high spirit flag, each camp and each village are dressed in linen and filial piety, and as far as the eye can see, a piece of white flowers is very eye-catching.

Yan Yan observed for a long time in the hidden place on the top of the mountain, especially paying attention to the movement in front of the camp, and saw that there were people constantly coming and going in the big tent, although he couldn't see their expressions, he could see that those people were staggering, obviously very sad. Moreover, all the battalions were closed to the gates, and the sergeants were strictly forbidden to leave the camp, and martial law should have been imposed in the barracks.

"Old General Yan, look at this situation." The deputy general quietly approached Yan Yan's side and whispered, "Lu Bu must be dead." The last general suggested that if we could grab Lu Bu's body and send it to Jiameng Pass to show the public, we would definitely be able to make the main force of Dong thieves retreat without a fight. ”

Yan Yan didn't speak, didn't say yes or objected, and only said after a while: "Wait, we have the heavy responsibility of guarding Yangping Pass, so it's better to be careful." Suddenly, Yan Yan saw from a distance that several soldiers in Dong Zhuojun's right camp came out of the camp over the fence, sneakily along the trail towards Yangping Pass, Yan Yan immediately ordered: "Follow them, scratch your tongue." ”

Those Dong Zhuojun soldiers who escaped also seemed to be accustomed to walking mountain roads, picking between the woods and rocks to hide their figures, but after all, they were not familiar with the terrain near Yangping Pass, and before they arrived at Yangping Pass, they were easily surrounded by Yan Yan's people, and suddenly rushed out to catch them all, and escorted them all into Yangping Pass.

"Who are you? Why did you escape from the Dong thief camp? Yan Yan asked those Dong Zhuojun deserters.

Those deserters spoke Yizhou dialect, one of them replied: "General Huiyu, we are all Yizhou people, only because of the defeat by Dong Zhuojun captured, did their surrender, yesterday Lu Bu was shot dead on the battlefield, Zhang Xiu Xiaoer to take responsibility, take our troops out of anger, want to kill us all to pay tribute to Lu Bu, we overheard, we in order to live, we escaped from Dong Zhuo's army camp, to Yangping Pass for refuge." ”

"Lu Bu is really dead? Did you see his body? Yan Yan asked.

The deserters nodded together, "Yes, we all saw his corpse with our own eyes, and our hearts were shot through, and last night Lu Bu's wife Diao Chan cried and fainted several times." ”

"I went on the expedition with my wife." Yan Yan said contemptuously: "No wonder it's so useless on the battlefield." ”

Yan Yan's lieutenant was overjoyed, "Old general, let's take the opportunity to do it." ”

Yan Yan hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Although the commander of the enemy army is dead, the strength is still on par with ours, so it is better to wait and see what happens." Yan Yan paused and said: "If the Dong thieves withdraw their troops, the narrow mountain road will not be able to retreat all at once, and when they are halfway through, we will take advantage of the situation to attack and eat them one by one, now wait first." ”

Contrary to Yan Yan's expectations, after Lu Bu's death, Dong Zhuojun not only did not withdraw his troops, but the next day, Zhang Xiu, who was dressed in white clothes and white armor, led his troops to the front of the pass to scold the battle, asking Yan Yan to go out of the pass and fight him to the death. Seeing Zhang Xiu, who was scolding under the pass, Yan Yan was confused, the commander died in battle, and his morale should be greatly damaged, so is there any reason to continue to scold the army and march into the army?

The enemy's movements were unknown, and Yan Yan, who was shouldering the heavy responsibility, was more cautious, and still couldn't hold on, just waiting to see what happened, but fortunately, Zhang Xiu was not as impulsive as Lu Bu, and he collected his troops and returned to the camp after scolding for a few hours, and did not storm Yangping Pass. But the next day, Zhang Xiu received the scolding array in front of the pass again, this time Yan Yan tasted wrong, and a thought flashed in his heart, could it be ......

After Zhang Xiu collected his troops and returned to the camp, Yan Yan called the deputy general and instructed him: "You send a few people to the side of Dong Zhuojun's camp, and secretly count the number of their military stoves every day to report back to me." ”

The lieutenant general said strangely: "Old general, count their military stoves?" Why is that? ”

Yan Yan said coldly: "Lu Bu is dead, Dong Zhuojun should retreat, but Zhang Xiu came to the front of the pass every day to scold the battle, I am worried that this is Zhang Xiu's plan to hide from the sky and cross the sea, under the pretext of a challenge, in fact, he quietly withdrew his troops, so as not to be pursued and killed by our army later." The lieutenant suddenly realized and hurriedly arranged to go.

On the third day, Zhang Xiu was still scolding in front of the pass, but the number of Dong Zhuojun's military stoves reported by the sergeant was more than 8,000, which was calculated according to 50 people and one stove, which was inconsistent with Dong Zhuojun's 50,000 horses; On the fourth day, the number of Dong Zhuojun's military stoves was only 7,000; On the fifth day, the number of Dong Zhuojun's military stoves was reduced to 5,000; On the sixth day, Dong Zhuojun's military stove was only 4,000......

"Dong Zhuojun is really withdrawing." Yan Yan punched the case heavily and ordered: "Pass the order, prepare thatch, sulfur and other things that cause fire, and tonight the second watch will go out of the customs and rob the camp, and Dong Zhuojun will be caught off guard." ”

On the night of Yan Yan's decision to rob the camp, there was only a waning moon in the sky, and the night was dark and windy, which was not only the favorite weather for murder and arson, but also the ideal time for the army to rob the camp and rob the village. At the time of the second watch, Yan Yan personally led 8,000 elite soldiers, carrying more firewood, grass and sulfur and other criminal tools, quietly found out of Yangping Pass, and first killed a few unlucky patrol soldiers on the way to practice, and quietly touched outside Dong Zhuojun's camp.

Yan Yan took a closer look, and after concluding that there was no ambush, he waved his hand to the rear, and the two archers almost fired arrows at the same time, and at the same time shot down the sentry on the camp tower, quietly moved away from the antlers in front of the village to resist the horse, and suddenly shouted, rushed into the camp together, set fire everywhere, and the fire borrowed the wind to reflect the sky in an instant.

Yan Yan personally led an army straight to the main tent, but as soon as he ran in front of the main tent, Yan Yan felt that something was wrong—why didn't there even be a person who guarded the spirit? At this moment, Dong Zhuojun's rear camp suddenly shook with a bang, and countless fully armed Dong Zhuojun soldiers poured out from all corners like locusts, surrounding Yan Yanjun like an iron bucket, and the first member of the general was a red rabbit BMW under his crotch, with a halberd painted by Fang Tian in his hand, a golden crown on his head, and a red robe, majestic, it was Wenhou Lu Fengxian, who should have died!

Yan Yan exclaimed: "You? You're not dead! ”

Lu Bu laughed, patted the armor on his body and said with a smile: "Salted old man, see clearly, this is Tang Yi's armor, the sword and arrow are not injured, this is the only one in the world, even the Xuantie armor of Benhou's father-in-law is not comparable, if Benhou does not have this armor to protect himself, he may really fall into your poisonous hands." But it's okay, Ben Hou will plan to lure you out of salted old man. Lu Bu was a little bragging, pretending to be dead to lure the enemy before the battle was indeed his idea, but it was Zhang Xiu's idea to deliberately indulge the troops to report the news, and the corpse was also carefully selected by Zhang Xiu from the soldiers who died that day, and deliberately made the flesh and blood blurred to show the public, as for the plan to increase the troops, it was Diao Chan and Zhang Xiu who figured it out together to be abducted, and if it weren't for Diao Chan who had been pulling him to calm down these days, I was afraid that Lu Bu would have been unable to bear the battle.

Yan Yan knew that he was not lucky, but he still fought hard to kill Lu Bu, wanting to fight to the death of a fish, Yan Yan opened his eyes angrily and shouted: "Dog thief, eat me a shot!" "Take Lu Bu with a gun, but Lu Bu can be afraid of him, ride a horse and hold a halberd to open Yan Yan's steel gun, drag the halberd downward, hit Yan Yan's left shoulder, and immediately knock Yan off the horse, when Yan Yan wants to get up and fight again, Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd has already reached his throat, "Old man, heads-up, except for Zhao Zilong, who can fight with me for one or two hundred rounds in the world, otherwise who is my opponent?" ”

Lu Bu only took down Yan Yan with just one close, and shocked the audience in an instant, Lu Bu took the opportunity to shout: "Listen, Yizhou Army, put down your weapons, spare you from dying, distribute money and food and go home with you, otherwise, you will be killed!" ”

In the firelight, the tall and mighty Lu Bu is as majestic as the god of war, which is daunting, the surrounded Yizhou army, you look at me, I look at you, although they are already the most elite in the Yizhou army, but in front of Dong Zhuojun, who is also elite and the number of equipment is far above them, their hope of breaking through is almost equal to zero. After hesitating for a moment, someone finally took the lead in putting down their weapons and surrendering on their knees, and then there was the sound of snowballing weapons falling, almost all the Yizhou troops chose to surrender, and although a few diehards tried in vain to fight their way out of the encirclement, they were immediately chopped into pulp by Dong Zhuojun's soldiers who were dozens of times their size.

The Yizhou army that solved the robbery camp, Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu immediately acted according to the plan, stripped off the captives' clothes and changed them, and led the army to Yangping Pass. ”

"Hooray!" In the flickering firelight, the defenders of the gate saw that it was their own sergeant's clothes, and did not doubt him, cheered and opened the gate, Lu Bu took the opportunity to shout, led the way into the pass, and the army poured in together, followed by Zhang Xiu's troops also took advantage of the situation to kill the pass, the defenders of the pass were caught off guard and were killed by Dong Zhuojun, and at dawn, most of the defenders who were lucky to be alive chose to surrender, and a small number of them fled over the mountains and mountains, and the second largest danger in Sichuan, second only to the Sword Pavilion, also fell into the hands of Dong Zhuojun.

Taking Yangping Pass may be just an ordinary victory in Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu's lives, but for Dong Zhuojun, who tried to occupy Yizhou, it was a battle to turn the stalemate in the war, because under Yangping Pass, it was the grain route between the main force of the Yizhou Army, Jia Long's troops, and Li Yan's troops, as long as they choked this road, they could strangle Jia Long's troops and Li Yan's troops to death.

"Cicada, sit down, be careful, don't drop our daughter." After taking Yangping Pass, Lu Bu immediately kicked Zhang Xiu to Zhang Xiu about the affairs of the people and the rectification of military affairs, but he flew back to the camp, personally took Mink Chan carefully to the Guanzhong, and helped his wife and daughter to sit down in fear, that look is not like the world's first military general at all, but a loving husband and father.

"Cicadas, are you thirsty? I'll pour you water. Cicadas, are you hungry? I'll have someone arrange meals for you. Cicadas, are you tired? I've got a room arranged, do you want to go and rest? ”

When Zhang Xiu entered the hall, he saw the same scene as usual, Lu Bu was like a nagging old man walking around Diao Chan, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, Zhang Xiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and stepped forward to report: "Tell Wen Hou, the notice of Anmin has been posted, and the prisoners have been settled, but that Yan Yan Lao'er doesn't know how to deal with it, please show Wen Hou." ”

"Bring him here." Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said: "He dared to sneak attack Ben Hou, and caused Ben Hou to hide in the tent for several days, and Ben Hou wanted to cut him into pieces with his own hands to vent the hatred in Ben Hou's heart!" ”

"General Zhang, slow down." When Zhang Xiu was about to mention Yan Yan, Diao Chan suddenly stopped him, and said to Lu Bu: "Wenhou, the concubine has a word, I don't know if I should say it." ”

Lu Bu was stunned, but immediately said: "If the cicada has something to say, the husband must listen to it." ”

Diao Chan said softly: "Wen Hou, that Yan Yan assassinated you, although it is hateful, but the two armies are their masters in front of the formation, and they can't completely blame him, not to mention that he can stop our army for many days, Wen Hou has also praised him for attacking and defending very methodically, he is a general's talent, and now Wen Hou's righteous father wants to dominate the world and return the world to a peaceful and prosperous world, it is a plan to use people, why don't Wen Hou and General Zhang try to subdue him and add a boost to the Taishi?" ”

Diao Chan's words Lu Bu has always been obedient, not to mention Diao Chan did make sense, Lu Bu didn't even think about it, immediately put his hatred for Yan Yan behind, nodded and agreed, Zhang Xiu also agreed very much.

In a moment, Yan Yan, who was bound all over his body, was brought to the lobby, Lu Bu sat high in the hall, and the knife and axe hands stood solemnly on both sides, but Yan Yan did not kneel, Lu Bu shouted: "Yan Yan, the heavenly army is here, you don't surrender, you dare to lead the army to resist, and you also try to assassinate Benhou, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”

Yan Yan's face did not change, and scolded back: "Lu Bu Xiao'er, Xichuan only has a decapitated general, not a surrendered general, but it's a pity that my arrow didn't kill you!" ”

Lu Bu was furious, "Old thing, you still have a hard mouth when you die!" At that moment, Lu Bu ignored Zhang Xiu's eyes of killing chickens and wiping his neck, and ordered the knife and axe hand to say: "Pull this old thing down and cut it!" ”

The knife and axe hands rushed up together, and Yan Yan was still fearless, and shouted the knife and axe hands: "If you want to kill, you can kill, you don't need to bet." After that, Yan Yan turned his head and left, covering the spot with a gas cover.

"Wait." Lu Bu suddenly changed his smiling face again, pushed away the knife and axe hand, personally untied Yan Yan, and together with Zhang Xiu, helped the confused Yan Yan to sit in the lobby, and bowed to Zhang Xiu under the hall, "Old General Yan, the young general has heard of the general's prestige for a long time, and I have offended a lot in the temptation just now, and I hope the old general will forgive me." ”

Yan Yan was taken aback, the winner bowed down to the loser, and hurriedly went to help Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu also took the opportunity to pour ecstasy soup into Yan Yan and said: "The old general is famous, and the Xiliang army admires the old general so much that he throws himself to the ground. ”

Yan Yan was originally a righteous person, and when he saw Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu treating him like this, he didn't say anything, but bowed down and kowtowed: "Wen Hou, General Zhang, Yan Yan's defeated general, dare not be a big gift for the two generals, if the two generals do not give up, Yan Yan is willing to serve the two generals." ”

"That's great." After all, Lu Bu's simple-mindedness had not been completely cured, and when he heard Yan Yan say this, he immediately cheered: "I heard that the Baishui Pass under Yangping Pass is also under the control of the old general, so please ask the old general to persuade them to surrender." ”

Zhang Xiu glared at Lu Bu fiercely, and said in his heart You are really welcome, as soon as others surrendered, you assigned him to do things. But Yan Yan immediately replied: "Obey Wen Hou's orders, Yan Yan must say that Baishui Pass will surrender." ”

Yan Yan didn't panic, before the closed door of Baishui Guan, Yan Yan said to the close, "I've surrendered, are you sure that you can stop the world's number one general?" The closed door of Baishui Guan slowly opened, and then the guards surrendered, and the last line of defense of the supply line of Jia Long and Li Yan's troops fell into the hands of Dong Zhuojun, and Guangyuan, the supply transit place, was completely exposed in front of Dong Zhuojun's iron cavalry.
