Taiyuan is located in the middle of Bingzhou, and the army is going to Xudu, which needs to pass through Shangdang and cross the Taihang Mountain.

Guo Jia, Xiahoudun, and Xu Huang led 10,000 troops and deployed at Tianjing Pass early.

Yuan Xu led 5,000 newly recruited soldiers and horses, two days behind them.

Tianjing Pass is also known as Xiongding Pass, the terrain is dangerous to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is the only way to lead to Yuzhou with the state.

Seeing the pass from afar, Yuan Xu stopped at the horse.

Gan Ning stepped forward: "Son, I am willing to lead the troops to capture the pass." ”

Yuan Xu glanced back at the soldiers: "The army is full of new soldiers, and they will attack Xiongguan in the first battle, and they will be afraid of the battlefield in the future." ”

"But the pass is here, and we can't help but fight." Gan Ning said: "You can't expect Cao Jun to sacrifice the pass on his own? ”

"Xingba, don't worry, I have a way." Yuan Xu instructed the guards: "Put it on the table, I want to play the qin here." ”

Yuan Xu didn't think about winning the pass, but proposed to play the qin here, and Gan Ning was deeply puzzled by this.

He was about to ask a question, when he found Pang Tong wink.

The words that came to his mouth were swallowed back, and Gan Ning watched as the guards brought the table and placed it at the opposite pass.

Yuan Xu looked up at the sky.

Although it was already afternoon, it was still some time before dark.

He did not put the ghost qin on the table, but asked the guard to take an ordinary guqin and put it on the table.

Sitting at the table, he gently tweaked the strings, and a tune that Pang Tong and Gan Ning had never heard before rose leisurely.

The tune is soft, like a blue sky flowing clouds, like a clear spring in the mountains.

The person who played was attentive, and the person who listened was fascinated.

Although the sound of the piano is beautiful, Gan Ning has no heart to appreciate it.

He asked Pang Tong in a low voice, "What is Childe doing?" ”

"I heard Tian Yuanhao say that every time Gongzi plays a tune, there will be dead bodies coming to help in the battle." Pang Tong replied: "Maybe it's driving the dead body." ”

Looking around, Gan Ning didn't notice anything unusual.

Looking at Yuan Xu, who was still stroking the qin, he was at a loss.

At the patio pass, the guard is Xu Huang, a fierce general under Cao Cao.

Seeing that Yuan Xu led the army to come, he had already ordered the soldiers to pass to death.

Cao's army was in full array, but Yuan Xu did not order an attack, but played the guqin outside the pass.

In addition to Xu Huang, there are two deputy generals who are also closed.

One of the two is named Zhao Shu and the other is named Li Zou.

They used to be Lu Bu's generals, but they were later captured by Xu Huang and transferred to Cao Cao's command.

Listening to the sound of the piano floating outside the pass, Li Zou looked disdainful: "I thought that Yuan Xianxin was amazing, the army had arrived outside the pass, and it would be okay if he didn't send troops to seize the pass, and he actually played the piano for us." ”

"Don't underestimate Yuan Xianxin." Zhao Shu reminded: "I heard that he drove the dead body, all through the sound of the piano. ”

Xu Huang glanced at the two of them with a cold face.

He didn't say anything, his face was solemn.

Cao Cao's generals, Xu Huang is calm.

didn't figure out why Yuan Xu played the piano, he would definitely not take it lightly.

"General." Zhao Shu reminded: "I think we should pay attention to the surroundings and beware of Yuan Xianxin driving the dead corpses to seize the pass." ”

Xu Huang nodded: "Tell the soldiers, prepare to roll oil and rockets, and once Yuan Xianxin captures the pass, whether it is a dead or a living person, he will be called out." ”

Zhao Shu received the order and instructed the soldiers to pay attention to the surrounding conditions.

All afternoon, Yuan Xu was playing the piano.

He was so focused on playing that neither Pang Tong nor Gan Ning stepped forward to disturb him.

It's just that when Gan Ning listened to the sound of the piano, his face was filled with anxiety.

After dusk, the night began to fall, and Yuan Xu finally stopped.

He instructed the guards: "Remove the harp." ”

The guard stepped forward and removed the guqin from the table.

Yuan Xu personally took the ghost piano and put it on the table.

"Childe has been playing the piano all afternoon." Taking advantage of the fact that he didn't touch the piano, Gan Ning asked: "Do you want to change the piano to continue?" ”

"I didn't play this piano in the afternoon." Yuan Xu replied: "The real big scene is just about to begin." ”

I didn't understand the meaning of stroking the qin at all, and Gan Ning looked confused.

is also confused, as well as Xu Huang and others who are guarding the customs.

There was nothing abnormal, and Zhao Shu's face was full of doubts: "I heard that Yuan Xianxin stroked the qin, and he would invite dead corpses to help him." But the whole afternoon has passed, and not a single corpse has appeared, is it that what we have heard is just a rumor? ”

"I have always had a good relationship with General Cao Ren." Xu Huang said: "I know very well what kind of person he is. If Yuan Xianxin didn't have that ability, Cao Zixiao would definitely not say it nonsense. ”

"But we watched all afternoon, and we really didn't see a single dead body." Li Zou also said: "Maybe Yuan Xianxin did drive the dead corpse at that time, but today he can't show his ability." ”

Xu Huang didn't say anything.

He never believed that Yuan Xu was capable but couldn't show it.

"Looks like I'll be able to sleep soundly tonight." Li Zou didn't take Yuan Xu in his eyes from the beginning.

"Even though he only played the piano all afternoon, we can't afford to let up too much." Xu Huang said: "You two take turns to keep vigil, beware of Yuan Xianxin taking the pass." ”

Zhao Shu agreed very simply, but Li Zou behaved a little casually.

Yuan Xu, who was outside the gate, put the ghost piano on the table and played the same tune as during the day.

At first, Pang Tong and Gan Ning didn't pay much attention to it.

Halfway through the curved bullet, the two of them felt a chill seeping deep into the bone marrow, like falling into an ice cave, so cold that people couldn't help but want to shiver.

In the quiet of the night, the sound of the piano travels farther.

At the pass, Xu Huang had already gone to sleep, and Zhao Shu, who was left on duty, faintly felt that something was wrong, and called Li Zou: "General Li, come and listen to ......"

"It's not just that tune, what's so good?" Li Zou muttered reluctantly: "If he plays all night, will it be possible that we won't sleep all night?" ”

"You don't feel any different?" Zhao Shu asked.

"What's the difference?" Li Zou said indifferently: "Yuan Xianxin wants us to scare ourselves, don't pay attention to him." ”

couldn't convince him, and Zhao Shu had no choice but to order the soldiers to strengthen their vigilance.

Outside the gate, Yuan Xu caressed the ghost qin intently, and black qi poured out of his body, circling around his body.

Seeing this scene, Pang Tong and Gan Ning both opened their mouths slightly in surprise.

The two of them were puzzled, but they didn't dare to ask, for fear of disturbing him playing the piano.

The thousands of soldiers who went out on the expedition saw that there were not many black gases lingering around Yuan Xu, but they also felt the weirdness of the atmosphere in the sound of the piano.

In the mountains and forests not far away, there was a sound of rustling.

The noise grew more and more intense, as if countless people were gathering towards them.

Gan Ning clenched his weapon and looked around vigilantly.

In the night, he saw black shadows appear in all directions.

The shadows did not approach them, but surged in the direction of the pass.

Gan Ning and Pang Tong glanced at each other.

Both of them could see surprise in each other's eyes.

They had heard that Yuan Xu could drive dead bodies, but they hadn't fully believed it at that time.

Now that I have seen the dead bodies take the pass, I know that everything is true.
