Chapter 373: Hangu Door Opens
In the face of a Xiongguan like Hangu Pass, coupled with a good general like Xu Rong and 50,000 soldiers and horses, if you want to attack it, it is undoubtedly a fantasy.
Therefore, this time, Zhou Fan naturally planned to outwit and deceive the gate of Nahangu Pass, and the way to defraud was that Dong Yue.
Naturally, Dong Yue's injury is Zhou Fan's masterpiece.
Zhou Fan had promised him that he would never kill him, but he had never promised that he would not abolish him.
Therefore, now Dong Yue's limbs have all been broken, his ribs have been broken seven or eight, his chin has dropped directly, and even his throat has been dumbed, and he can't do anything else except panting. However, what Zhou Fan can guarantee is that he will never die, as long as no one knows him, he will definitely be able to live well.
Zhou Fan is planning to rely on the half-dead Dong Yue to open the gate of Hangu Pass, and Zhou Fan's real army has already been prepared in the rear, as long as Ling Cao's signal arrives, he will be able to directly take Hangu Pass at that time.
As for why Ling Cao was chosen to complete such an important task, in fact, Zhou Fan was also helpless.
If you want to be a pioneer, take the city gate, and naturally you can't do it without a good martial arts.
And among the many generals brought by Zhou Fan this time, Zhou Fan himself can naturally do it, but how can anyone who is the lord personally do this kind of thing, and the basic troops in this Hangu Pass are the northern army of Luoyang, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion was at the beginning, many of them led by Zhou Fan pacified Zhang Jiao, and they were recognized by someone if they didn't happen well, and they would be a fart when the time came.
The same is true for Zhang He, who also followed Zhou Fan to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and there should be many people in the Northern Army who will know him Zhang He.
Not to mention Dian Wei, his white tiger mount. Wherever you pull it, it's an object of pulling the wind.
Huang Zhong can, after all, this Huang Zhong only joined his command under Zhou Fan later, and no one in the Northern Army will know him.
However, his Huang Zhong's characteristics are too obvious. Although Huang Zhong is only forty years old this year, he is already a steamed bun with white hair. I don't know if it was because I worked hard for Huang Xu in the early years, and I can't think of such white hair without being eye-catching.
As for the rest, there are only three people, Zhou Cang, Ling Cao, and Lu Yi.
Zhou Cang is Zhou Fan's personal guard, and Lu Yi has to lead the Dengsheng soldiers, so he can only let this Ling Cao come out.
In history, when Ling Cao followed Sun Ce, he always served as a pioneer. Although it is not as good as Zhang He and others in martial arts, but it is not bad, Zhou Fan's only worry is that this Ling Cao is not clever enough, if one accidentally leaks out of the horse's feet, then the previous efforts will be wasted, so before he set off, Zhou Fan also explained some things to him, and there will be no problems.
"I'm Dong Huang, the one who was injured below is my brother Dong Yue, what happened." Dong Huang roared directly.
Ling Cao's heart was shocked. The name Dong Huang suddenly crossed over in his heart, and he shouted: "Captain Dong, this is General Zhonglang." He is seriously injured and in danger, please open the city gate quickly and save the general Zhonglang. ”
Saying that, Ling Cao also lifted Dong Yue's body that had already been unable to move slightly, revealing Dong Yue's pale and bloodstained face.
And at this moment, Dong Yue had a hatred in his heart, he never thought that Zhou Fan would be so ruthless, and he would directly abolish himself.
Even if he can still live, then he will be a waste person in this life, so he might as well die directly.
And that's not all. After Zhou Fan abolished himself that day, he still wanted to use himself as bait. tricked Dong Huang into opening Hangu Pass, how could this kind of thing make him succeed.
Therefore, now Dong Yue has tried all the means. wanted to tell Dong Huang not to be deceived, but he found that he couldn't do it at all, obviously Zhou Fan had already expected him to do this, so he blocked all the roads.
His limbs were broken, making him unable to move at all, his throat was dumb, so that he couldn't say a word, and now all he can do is squeeze his eyebrows and make his eyes, but this is useless at all, his expressions of squeezing his eyebrows and making eyes have all become expressions of pain and struggle in Dong Huang's eyes.
"Quick, open the gates!" Dong Huang shouted without hesitation, at this moment, he just wanted to save Dong Yue's life as soon as possible.
"Wait a minute!" At this moment, Xu Rong directly stopped Dong Huang and shouted below: "I am Xu Rong, what happened, didn't Dong Zhonglang stay in Chang'an, how could he be so seriously injured." ”
"General Xu, it was Han Sui who suddenly attacked Chang'an, Zhonglang General didn't notice it for a while, and he captured Chang'an, even Zhonglang General was seriously injured, and we people were desperately trying to protect Zhonglang General to escape." Ling Cao shouted eagerly.
"Impossible!" Xu Rong shouted suspiciously: "Then where did Han Sui and the Qiang people get such great ability to take Chang'an so quickly." ”
You must know that a few years ago, when Han Sui was in his heyday, the Qiang people with hundreds of thousands of people had never taken Chang'an.
Although at that time, Han Sui was facing Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo plus the Luoyang Northern Army, but now it is only Dong Yue and 10,000 Xiliang Army, but the current Han Sui is not in his heyday, he has already been beaten by Huangfu Song, and now it is estimated that he is still licking his wounds, where did such a strong force take Chang'an in an instant.
"It's true!" Ling Cao shouted again: "The invading army is indeed under the banner of Han characters, and if it weren't for the Qiang people, where would so many cavalry come from. ”
Xu Rong was silent, although he also felt strange in his heart, but he didn't have any way to refute it.
The closest to Chang'an is undoubtedly Zhou Fan's Yizhou and Xiliang's Han Sui.
And now that Cao Cao's letter against thieves has only been released for less than ten days, if he wants to send troops in such a short period of time, it can only be Han Sui.
As for Zhou Fan in Yizhou, Xu Rong really didn't think about it, it was too late, it would take half a month to send troops from Chengdu to Chang'an, even if he went all out, this is not counting the time required to attack Chang'an, so after calculation, it seems that only Han Sui is the most likely.
"Xu Rong, what are you doing, don't you give the order to open the city gate quickly, do you want to watch my eldest brother die like this?" Seeing that Xu Rong was stunned, Dong Huang was also angry, and roared out directly.
"Open the gates!" Xu Rong gritted his teeth, and finally gave an order, that Dong Yue's status is still above him Xu Rong, if he continues to delay like this, he will inevitably be gossiped about at that time, saying that he is for the top position, so he deliberately delays time to kill Dong Yue, and then it will be troublesome.
With Xu Rong's order, the gate of Hangu Pass slowly opened. (To be continued)
