Chapter 753: Li Ru, Dong Jin Flees South, Xu Huang Captures the Pass (Three-in-One)
"Boom!"
The two guns collided in the air, making a golden sound, and then the guns of the two of them deflected and attacked the vital points of both sides.
"Boom!" Another crunch.
Their guns were moving, and they were striking each other's flanks, but neither could hurt or defeat the other.
The two horses missed, and Dong Jin continued to rush forward to kill.
Li Tong danced his spear left and right, or picked or stabbed to kill through the Xiliang army from the side, and then transferred back to chase Dong Jin.
Li Tong failed, and then Qin Qi, Bian Xi, Zhu Zan, Cao Zun and others led a team of two to intercept him.
If you can't kill Dong Jin one-on-one, then work together to fight together, and you can always stop and kill him.
Cao Cao's breathing was a little short, Dong Jin's martial arts were indeed a little unexpectedly strong, no wonder he could replace Lu Bu as Dong Zhuo's personal guard.
Dong Zhuo's old thief is not very good, and he is the same as Bo Kang, he can always attract fierce generals.
Cao Cao held his sword, and when necessary, he would draw the sword.
How to say that Cao Cao has also practiced since he was a child, although his martial arts are not first-class, but there are still third-rate ones.
However, he did not draw his sword, but just held it tightly, even if he was extremely nervous at this time, he could not show timidity.
He is a hero, and he will hide his true demeanor.
"Boom!"
"Poof!"
Dong Jin rushed past the combined attack of Qin Qi and Bian Xi, blocked Qin Qi's blow, and then killed Bian Xi with one shot, and then broke through the two of their subordinates first.
The Xiliang Army followed closely behind, taking advantage of the situation to enter, and the more they killed, the more excited they became.
Not far away is Cao Cao's banner, which is Cao Cao himself.
"Dong thief Hugh wants to be rampant and eat your grandfather's spear!"
Zhu Zan and Cao Zun have been friends since childhood, and they play together together, and the tacit understanding is excellent.
And now he is still a young man, his blood is vigorous, and he is not afraid of Dong Jin's might, so he waved his weapon to stop him.
However, Dong Jin didn't pay attention to the two of them at all, waved his weapon to the left and right, shook the two back, and then broke through.
"Cao thief is killed!" Dong Jin was only twenty steps away from Cao Cao and didn't move, he shouted, and the spear stabbed straight at Cao Cao's heart.
However, when he was ten paces away, he suddenly rushed out and stopped with a shot.
Dong Jin was stunned for a moment, skimmed over, and saw that it was Li Tong who was fighting in front of him.
"Dong Jinxiu wants to be presumptuous, with your Grandpa Li Tong here, rappel!" Li Tong also roared and stabbed with a gun.
Dong Jin raised his gun to block, and then swept sideways.
Li Tong was dumbfounded, and then took the gun.
"Boom!"
Then the two of them attacked me on the left, and I attacked you to defend, and they made frequent moves to each other.
Dong Jin was in a hurry for a while, seeing that he was only ten steps away from Cao Cao, he was actually entangled by Li Tong.
And Cao Cao's subordinates Qin Qi, Bian Xi, Zhu Zan, Cao Zun and others also urged the horses to come over to help, if Cao Cao was killed, they would be finished.
When Cao Cao saw Dong Jin, who was intercepted by Li Tong, the pores of the whole person were about to open, and the cold hair was standing up.
However, the hand holding the sword was clenched tightly, and the body dared not move.
Five steps forward, he drew his sword and struck him.
Either he died or Dong Jin fell off the horse.
"Damn it!" Dong Jin saw that he couldn't rush over, so he scolded angrily, and then he had an idea, turned the rod, and then leaned forward with his strength, and then when he grabbed the tail of the gun, he turned the head of the gun, and then pushed it with force.
The barrel of the spear left the entanglement of the spear in Li Tong's hand, and then flew towards Cao Cao.
Li Tong was shocked, and he was also in a hurry, made the same move, and threw the gun away.
"Bang!" With a bang, the head of the gun hit the tail of Dong Jin's gun, Dong Jin's gun posture changed, the direction was oblique, and it was stuck on the handrail of Cao Cao's carriage.
Cao Cao couldn't help but be startled, and his scalp was a little numb.
Cold spears hit, so close.
"Damn!"
Dong Jin was furious, and threw the gun to break Li Tong, this guy was his nemesis, so he took out the Huoyun Sword he carried and slashed at Li Tong.
Li Tong was also prepared, and drew the Yitian Sword given by Cao Cao.
"Boom!" Another flash of fire flickered, the two swords struck each other, and then quickly separated, so that the sword man made a deep gift.
However, both of them were slanted, and both swords were mistaken by the other party.
Then the two of them swung their swords and struck again, and as soon as the spark appeared, the two of them stopped.
Dong Jin urged the horse to leave, because Cao Zun stabbed with a gun behind him, but he pounced.
Dong Jin knew that there was no hope of killing Cao, so he urged the horse to kill his own iron cavalry surrounded by four generals, and then led them out from the west.
Five or six hundred horsemen followed and rushed out, and all the others were surrounded by Cao's army, and one by one they were killed.
Li Tong was unwilling to let Dong Jin escape, and chased after him with the Heavenly Sword in his hand.
Cao Cao didn't want to let Dong Jin go, so he said: "Give the banner to Zhongming, let him assist Wenda, pursue Dong Jin, and kill Li Ru by the way." ”
In the distance, Li Ru looked at the entire battlefield under the escort of a hundred horsemen, and then sighed slightly.
The Xiliang army is over, and all the horses are entangled.
However, he did not have the flag raised, nor did he give the order to retreat.
If you lose, you will have to make Cao Cao pay the price.
The Xiliang Army is not so easy to kill.
Cao Cao wanted to swallow the Xiliang army, so he had to be prepared for losses.
It wasn't until Dong Jin returned that Li Ru said, "Withdraw!" ”
One hundred horsemen went first, and soon Dong Jin caught up with five hundred horsemen, and the two of them fled in the direction of Chang'an with a total of six hundred horsemen.
Li Tong and Duan Xuan led two thousand horsemen to chase after them from behind.
Fleeing to the city of Chang'an, Dong Jin wanted to shout directly under the city gate, but then Li Ru said: "Crossing the east gate, Chang'an City may be lost." ”
Sure enough, I saw Li Ru, Dong Jin and others passing through the city gate, and the Xiliang banner on the city was suddenly cut down, and then the archers on the city kept firing arrows.
At this time, a human head was thrown out of the city, and it was Dong Zhuo's nephew Dong Huang.
Li Ruben left him to sit in Chang'an and guard the back road for everyone, but he didn't want the people in Chang'an City to start in advance and booby trap Dong Huang.
Li Ru didn't think much about it, and a middle-aged general appeared in his mind.
Ay! When you kill Wang Yun, you should kill him together.
Li Dao's general Dong Cheng, the father-in-law of the little emperor, this small role that was once played by himself.
"Mr. Wen Wei, Chang'an is lost, I have nowhere to go, what should I do now!" Leaving Chang'an City, Duan Xuanjing was not chasing after him, but Li Tong chased after him with a thousand horsemen.
Dong Jin wanted to turn around and go back to kill this guy who had broken a big deal.
In terms of martial arts, he was confident that he could kill Li Tong.
However, Li Ru objected, and persuasion was no longer necessary.
Killing a Li Tong is useless, there is no point.
In case Cao Cao's other cavalry pursued, there would be nowhere to escape.
Li Ru thought for a while and said, "Go south into the Meridian Valley, let's go to Hanzhong ......"
Hanzhong!
Zhang Lu?
Not to mention Li Ru and Dong Jinnan's escape to Hanzhong County, Yizhou.
On this side of the battlefield, after Li Wei saw Dong Jin fleeing, he understood the general trend, so he also turned around and broke through.
Then he successfully rushed out with more than 200 horsemen, but his nephew Li Li was killed in battle, and only one general Hu Feng followed, and the others were either killed in battle or surrendered to Cao Cao.
After Li Wei escaped, he didn't dare to go in the direction of Chang'an, because Duan Xuan chased after Chang'an, if he was running towards Chang'an, wouldn't he be looking for death?
So he went north with the remnants, and finally escaped Weishui, gathered Xiliang stragglers in the direction of Huangbai City, and occupied the city as the king.
The Xiliang general Fan Chou was surrounded by the generals of Cao Cao's army, and was finally captured.
Fan Chou was escorted to Cao Cao, Cao Cao looked at this Xiliang general, and asked: "Fan Chou, now that your Xiliang army has been defeated, Li Ru, Dong Jin, and Li Dao are leading three or five hundred remnants to disappear, and Chang'an has also been taken by me. ”
Although there are many fierce generals around him now, Cao Cao is also a person who cherishes talents, especially when he was hit hard by Xu Ding.
Look at the baskets of fierce generals in other people, compared with themselves, it can be said that it is miserable.
So he wanted to collect Fan Chou.
This kind of simple-minded, not too much thought is just used for collection.
Like Li Dao and Dong Jin, even if they fall, they will be killed.
Otherwise, he would not be Cao Cao.
Fan Chou glanced at the generals around Cao Cao, and saw that they all had killing intent, as long as he didn't say a word, his head would immediately fall to the ground.
So he nodded and knelt down on one knee and said: "The last general, Fan Chou, is willing to surrender to Cao Gong, and is willing to saddle the horse for Cao Gong." ”
In fact, Fan Chou still has a benchmark in his heart, Duan Xuan has defected to Cao Cao, and it is not too face-saving for him to be defeated and captured and surrendered.
"Good, good! I have to be such a warrior, why worry about Guanzhong and Liangzhou. Cao Cao was overjoyed, and pulled out the Qingyu sword and cut off the rope on Fan Chou's body.
There is another advantage to the surrender of Fan Chou, that is, when the Liangzhou is pacified, these Xiliang troops can be used.
This time, many Xiliang soldiers were captured, and they needed a commander.
Although Cao Cao has a Xiliang general Duan Xuan under his name, it is difficult to control one person, and at least two people are needed to level the horizontal.
It can be said that Cao Cao is also very shrewd, driving people with skills, and his heroic posture is undoubtedly displayed.
………………
Xu Ding went all the way south, hurrying in the starry night.
As soon as he entered Zhongshan Kingdom, there was an urgent report of the military situation.
"My lord, the city of Lunu in Zhongshan Kingdom has been lost, and Deputy Lieutenant Sun Guan and Lieutenant Zhang Bao have both been defeated by the enemy chief Luyi, and now they have retreated into Anping Kingdom."
Xu Ding stretched out his hand when he heard this: "Map!" ”
Unfolding the map, Xu Ding aimed at Lu Nucheng and asked, "Lu Yi took Zhongshan Guofu City, how do you think it is good to deal with him." ”
Tai Shi Ci said: "Lord, my army is coming, the enemy is in the city, trapped, should be transferred to the eighth lieutenant army to continue to march north to join us." ”
Decent, Xu Ding looked at Xu Huang.
Xu Huang said: "There are only 20,000 troops in the south, and the rest are private soldiers of the family, these soldiers and horses are grass on the wall, so there is no need to worry, I think that when the flying cavalry takes Puyin and Wangdu first take Wuruan Pass (Bauhinia Pass), so that the south can control the north of Luyi and retreat, and the north can deter Liu Bei, who is now in possession of Dai County."
Taking down Guancheng and cutting off the contact with Puyin, whether it is Liu Bei or Lu Yi, they will inevitably panic.
The troops of the Lu Yi Department either went north to seize the pass, or went west to join up with Li Su's department, and the Zhongshan Kingdom could be recovered without attacking. ”
"Hahaha, good! Gongming has exhausted the essence of the art of war, then this task will be handed over to you, and I will be sure of your 3,000 cavalry. Xu Ding laughed with relief.
Xu Huang hugged his fists and said: "As long as there are two thousand, Huang dares to go." ”
Xu Ding still gave Xu Huang 3,000 soldiers and horses, Xu Huang took the order, and then brought more flags, claiming to be 6,000 and turned to the north to kill.
When the cities of Puyin and Wangdu heard that Xu Ding was going south, Yuan Shao was killed in battle, and Xu Huang led the gods to ride and kill, but they did not dare to be enemies with them, and they all opened the city and surrendered.
The northern border of Zhongshan Kingdom was quickly subsumed under the name of the Donglai Army.
Daigun!
Liu Bei's place!
"Not bad, not bad! The third brother is really brave, he was brave and invincible in the first camp, and he captured Lunu in a battle, and Zhongshan returned to my arms. ”
Liu Bei received the good news from Lu Yi and was overjoyed.
This time the dispatch of troops is so smooth, I hope that Li Su can also successfully defeat Zhao Yun, Xianbei, Xu Rong and others.
"But the fly in the ointment is that the third brother failed to kill Sun Guan of the ninth captain army and Zhang Bao of the eighth captain army, otherwise it would be enough for Xu Ding to feel distressed for a while."
Xu Ding killed him Liu Bei so many righteous generals, Liu Bei hated him to the core, and he also wanted to retaliate against Xu Ding.
However, Lu Yi still failed to fulfill his little request.
Five Nguyen Pass!
Jizhou's good news has just passed, and the general guarding the pass is a person named Liu Ji under Liu Bei, who is a clansman from Liu Bei's hometown.
So he is also extraordinarily highlight, the bigger and stronger Liu Bei's power is, the more developed their old Liu family will be.
If one person attains the Tao, will the chicken and dog ascend to heaven?
If it weren't for this relationship, with his skills that are not even third-rate armed forces, how could he take over such an important level.
Unbeknownst to Liu Ji, death was quietly approaching him.
Soon the hand came down to report.
"General! Five hundred horsemen came from the direction of Jizhou, and many carriages were dragging them, and they were approaching Guancheng. ”
"Oh! The cavalry from Jizhou came over, but they could clearly see the banners playing back and forth. Liu Ji was also vigilant, and when he came to guard the customs, Liu Bei told him again and again.
Don't be careless.
The report's henchman replied: "General, the army is coming under the banner of three generals. ”
"Lu Yi's cavalry, yes, only he has cavalry back from the south." Liu Ji was suspicious for most of the time, and then took his men to close the city.
Sure enough, when they got to the city pass, the cavalry outside the city resisted.
Liu Ji asked: "Which one are you from, why haven't you seen it, and what are the things in the car?" ”
Liu Ji did find that the other party's eyes were ruthless, and asked casually.
Lu Yi's troops were not the army of Bingzhou, and many of them followed him to the Central Plains from Liangzhou.
So it's normal that Liu Ji doesn't know him.
The leading general outside the city replied: "Back to General Liu, didn't my general fight the entire Zhongshan Kingdom?" Hehe, we grabbed some gold and silver in Lunu, this is not because we are afraid that Zhongshan Country will not be peaceful, the general asked us to escort it into Dai County in advance, and Zhi Dai County brought it back to Jinyang City earlier. ”
"Oh!" Liu Ji's eyes lit up when he heard this.
It's all gold, silver and jewelry, and this guy has made a fortune.
But it's right to think about it, Lunu is a capital city, there are many big merchants in it, and Jizhou is a rich place.
Liu Ji couldn't help but feel a little envious and jealous.
Although he was entrusted with a big task by Liu Bei, there was no oil and water in these five Ruan Passes.
Where is it like Lu Yi, there is money to rob and women to sleep in the hinterland of Jizhou.
Thinking of this, Liu Ji was a little uneven.
The generals who came to the army may have also discovered Liu Ji's jealousy, so he said: "By the way, General Liu, my general said, General Liu helped us guard the important checkpoint of Dai County, which can be described as a high degree of hard work, so here my general sent a box of souvenirs to the general, I hope the general will not mind." ”
"Hahaha, you're polite, the third general is polite, according to the back, I have to call the third general and the third uncle, how can I be embarrassed to accept the third uncle's things." When Liu Ji heard that Lu Yi had given him something, he couldn't help but think about it, and he had a bright smile on his face.
Hurriedly said to his subordinates: "What are you still doing in a daze, open the city gate, it's winter, don't let the brothers outside freeze, hurry up and call everyone into the city to rest, roast the fire, and eat some ginger soup." ”
The army of Guancheng, the crowd rode into the city, Liu Ji went down to the city, and some couldn't wait to receive the box.
However, the general smiled and said: "General, there are many people here, and I am watching when I go home." ”
"Yes, yes, yes! It makes sense, it makes sense. Liu Ji rubbed his hands and nodded with a smile.
That's right, the wealth is not exposed, it is appropriate to show the year here, go home and count quietly, quietly count.
Soon, Liu Ji and the general returned to the mansion of the guards of the city together with dozens of horses, and the others rested in the city gate.
When he came to the mansion, closed the door, and carried the box to the hall, Liu Jizai couldn't help it, and hurriedly said: "Open the box!" ”
A coarse person is a coarse person, and there is nothing subtle at all.
This time he will not stop it, but give his subordinates a look.
Liu Ji's subordinates opened the box three times and divided five by two, but they were dumbfounded the moment they opened it.
I saw a person inside.
A big man with a tomahawk in his hand.
Liu Ji and the others were stunned for a while, and then looked at the general, revealing an expression of what they meant and wanted to be investigated.
"Liu Ji is killed!"
It turned out that the person in the box was Xu Huang, who was ordered to take the customs.
Xu Huang played a Trojan horse and tricked Liu Ji into letting him into the city obediently and carrying him into the mansion.
While speaking, Xu Huang picked it out, and cut Liu Ji, who was not in a hurry, with an axe.
Xu Huang's subordinates also sent weapons into Liu Ji's subordinates' bodies nearby before Xu Huang could speak.
Liu Ji and his men were stabbed and stabbed to the ground before they could react quickly.
When Xu Huang took Liu Ji out of the city to find the remnants of the enemy in the city, the cavalry who stayed under the city wall also took care of Liu Bei's generals here.
The entire Wuruan Pass was successfully taken, and after this pass, Liu Bei had no contact with Lu Yi.
Of course, Liu Bei learned the news the next day and was horrified.
"Wuruan Pass was taken away, Liu Ji ...... Mistaken for ......! ”
Yuan Shao was defeated, and Xu Ding went south to Jizhou.
Things are moving too fast.
Yuan Shao actually lasted only ten days and defeated the army cleanly.
is a pig, with an army of tens of thousands guarding Jixian County, it can last for two or three months, not to mention Yuan Shao, how can it last for half a year.
It's only been a long time.
Liu Bei suddenly had a feeling of being fooled.
It's not that the enemy is too cunning, it's that the allies are not strong.
Now that Wuruan Pass has been taken by Xu Ding, there is no news from Jizhou, how to go in the future, how to develop, he can't intervene at all, and he is inexplicably panicked.
"Report! The lord is in a bad situation, and the state has sent me an urgent military situation. Just when Liu Bei had just received the news of the loss of Wuruan Pass, Jian Yong hurriedly walked in with the letter in his hand.
The state envoy, Tian Yu is also, is a clerk received by Liu Bei in Youzhou.
Gradually, Liu Bei re-managed the affairs of the state and county.
It is also his confidant who stayed in Bingzhou, responsible for assisting Li Su and monitoring Li Su's officials.
At this time, Li Su was not in the state, and he was not big, and many generals and ministers were not there, could it be that there was a rebellion in the state.
Liu Beihuai took the letter with a nervous mood and hurriedly opened it.
After reading it, the big tears of the bean flowed down the back of the head and into the back.
"Lord, what is the matter, the country is also quite calm, this time in such a hurry." Jian Yong asked.
Even Liu Yan saw Liu Bei's strange appearance, but he didn't speak.
Liu Bei sighed heavily: "Xu Ding has the heart of killing me and merging the state, and his greed is like gluttony, not only thinking that this battle will take Youzhou and Jizhou, but also wanting to annex me and the state."
The letter of the state envoy said that more than 10,000 horsemen of the Donglai army passed through the grassland, and now they have entered the clouds of our state and killed Dingxiang County, and they are afraid that they will reach Yanmen and Taiyuan in the near future. ”
"What? The Donglai army was killed in the clouds and Dingxiang? ”
Jian Yong and Liu Yan were shocked.
The speed of the dispatch is too fast.
Youzhou over there has just been pacified, and this side has been killed and merged with the state.
This appetite is really not ordinary.
Is he going to swallow the world?
"That lord, do you know the banner of the incoming army!" Liu Yan asked.
Xu Dingzhi's army has the most numbers and the most clear name.
From the number, we can know the strength of the Donglai army.
Liu Bei said: "It is the Guiyi Army under Xu Ding's wave, and their banner is to eliminate the remnants of Xianbei as the goal, and the counties in the border cities dare not stand in the way." ”
If the state has a reason to fight the eviction.
But people are under the slogan of purging Xianbei aliens, who dares to stop it.
Who wants to bear the infamy of a foreigner.
Hearing that it was the Guiyi Army, Liu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Lord, since it is the Guiyi Army, you don't have to be too responsible, most of the soldiers in this army are mainly Wuhuan, and their strength is not strong, not to mention that it is difficult for ten thousand horsemen to enter Yanmen and kill Taiyuan County." ”
"I'm not worried that they can capture Yanmen, what I'm worried about is that their real intention is to cut off our army's rear route, and Xu will definitely arrange other troops to attack me and the state." Liu Bei's worries are not unreasonable.
Xu Xiang is a plan and a decision.
Either you don't make a move, or if you make a move, you will be pressed to death, no matter who you hit.
Now that he has shown his fangs on Bingzhou, whether he really wants to eat it in one bite is worth pondering.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of someone.
Hanoi Zhang Yang still occupies Gaodu City and other places, in case they send troops to the north, Shangdang is also in danger.
If Xu Ding had planned to annex the state, would he deliberately lead him to Jizhou to make a copy of Yuan Shao.
first took his nest in Jizhou, and ate the army besieging Jizhou one by one.
Thinking about it carefully, the more Liu Bei thought about it, the colder his spine became.
His current army is almost exhausted and the state is merged, but the foundation of the state is besieged and lost, and it can't last for a few months.
Xu Ding's speed of eating Yuan Shao was too fast, so the consumption was not large.
In addition, there are many people in other places and abundant supplies, so it is completely possible to last the war for a long time.
With his own manpower, financial and material resources, it is difficult to fight a protracted war with Xu Ding.
Silk!
Thinking about it along Liu Bei's train of thought, Liu Yan and Jian Yong also took a breath.
Does Xu Ding really want to annex the state?
Now they didn't dare to gamble, and Xu Ding's plan was far beyond their imagination.
The princes who changed to a normal point did not dare to deal with the three major forces in the north at the same time.
Beat them one by one and digest them one by one, this is the safest.
Jian Yong swallowed his throat, but still asked, "Then lord, how do we deal with it?" ”
