"Yanzhou Mu." Cao Cao looked at the bright yellow holy decree on the table and spoke, the smile on his face was obvious. Cheng Yu walked out of the back screen and congratulated Cao Cao.

"This time, Your Majesty did not punish the orphan, and now you can justifiably beg for thieves as a Yanzhou pastor, and you don't have to be trapped in the martial arts." Cao Cao laughed heartily, like a hidden dragon getting out of trouble.

"Duke Cao, you can know the deep meaning of the imperial court." Cheng Yu didn't break it, looked at Cao Cao and said.

"The lonely crusade is meritorious, does Your Majesty have other plans?" Cao Cao's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly asked.

"Duke Cao, now has tens of thousands of troops, the court can rest assured, the former Liu Bei is stationed in Chen Liu's name Tuntian, in fact, it buffers the relationship between Duke Cao and the court. This time there are also concerns. ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but fall into deep thought, but he had to plan more. Since ancient times, if a courtier is suspicious of the Son of Heaven, he is basically dead without a place to be buried, and Cao Cao understands the truth here.

And Yuan Shao has been at home since his resignation and has always wanted to seek an opportunity to make a comeback. When he heard that Cao Cao had conquered the two counties captured by Yanzhou, his eyes lit up and he sought to go to Qingzhou as an official. His uncle was helpless and begged Sikong Huang Wan to intercede.

When Huang Wan entered the court as an official, he was favored by the Yuan family, so he played Yuan Shao as the Taishou of Jinan like Liu Bian, and resisted Liu Dai's merits. Liu Wei didn't feel that it was inappropriate, and readily agreed, but after Zhuge Ming knew, it was too late.

In the Marquis Mansion of Wuxiang, Zhuge Ming squatted down and picked up the fallen teacup with a helpless expression. In fact, it is due to the number of days, and the two trapped dragons enter the sea, and they have to swim for nine days.

After Yuan Shao led the Jinan Taishou, he galloped to Qingzhou in the starry night, and accompanied hundreds of family members to press back, covering the continuous war in Qingzhou, and I am afraid of damage.

At this time, Xiliang was as Zhuge Ming expected, that Jia Xu besieged Jincheng for a long time, one was to wait for reinforcements from Guanzhong, and the other was to rebel against Han Sui Ma Teng, the defender of Jincheng.

Jia Xu sent people into Jincheng to lobby the two, Han Sui moved, and Ma Teng instantly drew his sword and faced each other. The two had an argument in the hall, and Pound hurriedly pulled the two apart.

"Han Sui, this will be ordered by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty for generations to die and not surrender, you can go out of the city by yourself, today you and my brother are broken, and you are the enemy when you go out of this city gate." Ma Teng pointed his sword at Han Sui and scolded angrily.

"Ma Shoucheng, you are not a son of man, this general has saved you in danger many times, and now the Xiliang army is coming to the city, you will take revenge, let me wait for you to be buried with you?"

Han Sui's words, the hearts of the people were shaken, Ma Teng raised his sword and wanted to kill Han Sui, the generals struggled to hold it, Han Sui broke free from the shackles, and walked away.

That night, Han Sui received a letter from Jia Xu, which was smeared. But after being robbed by Ma Teng, he didn't want Han Sui to be prepared, and after Ma Teng entered the tent, he cut down Ma Teng with a knife in his hand. Then he led his army and horses to open the city gates.

After Ma Chao learned of his father's funeral, he almost fainted, and he was about to go to Han Sui to die. was hurriedly pulled by Pound, and Ma Chao was furious.

"Young master, Han Sui went out of the city. The Xiliang army has attacked. ”

Ma Chao panicked for a while, and hurriedly led the Ma family army and the Ma family to resist.

Lu Bu saw that the gate of Jincheng County was wide open, and the red rabbit horse under his feet was galloping like the wind. But when he saw Ma Chao killing from it, he couldn't help grinning. A halberd stabbed out, Ma Chao did not dodge it, and a shot was pointed on Fang Tian's halberd, a burst of sparks splashed, and the sergeants were flying out one after another.

The red rabbit horse that Lu Bu sat down was violently stressed, and he couldn't help bending his horse's legs, and Ma Chao's face changed abruptly. Seeing that Lu Bu's waist sank, Ma Chao flew out upside down, and Pang De was in a hurry and hurriedly caught it. In the midst of the chaos, a female general bent a bow and an arrow aimed directly at Lu Bu's eyebrows, and with a sound of breaking through the air, Lu Bu hurriedly dodged, and another bow and arrow shot straight at the door.

Ma Dai Pang De led the remnants of the Ma family army, taking advantage of Lu Bu's being pinned down by Ma Yunlu, and rushed out of the encirclement. The Xiliang army couldn't resist it, so he had no choice but to watch the Ma family go away. Lu Bu asked people to return to the army for repairs and entered Jincheng.

The Ma family led the remnants of the army all the way to Xiaoguan. Xiaoguan is an important passage from Guanzhong to Xiliang, just like the highway of later generations, it is one of the six roads in Guanzhong, and its strategic position is only in Chencang Road and Meridian Valley Road.

The counties of Longxian north of Xiaoguan were all occupied by Xiliang, and it was too late to sigh, but there was a shouting and fighting, and it turned out to be a young general under Huaxiong's account. Pang De led 500 Ma family troops, facing the enemy, a burst of killing, Pang De's internal qi condensed, he shouted angrily, his hand raised his knife and fell, and the young general was cut off under the horse. When the rest of the Xiliang army saw that their lord was about to be killed, they were terrified and routed.

When Hua Xiong heard this, he personally led the army to chase after him. The Ma family army had already fled, Hua Xiong was resentful, and ordered the troops to collect the remnants of the army, on the one hand, to continue to chase and kill the Ma family.

Fortunately, Liu Bei's army did not make repairs when they arrived at Xiaoguan, and Liu Bei also knew that the matter was urgent. Therefore, they marched day and night, and did not dare to delay for a moment. When they arrived at Xiaoguan, the army stayed for half a moment to eat and rest, and then continued north.

On the way to Jincheng, I happened to meet the people of the Ma family army who were sleepy and tired, and after asking, Jincheng was broken. Only then did Liu Bei understand why Zhuge Ming only let him answer and not say anything else.

Everyone greeted each other, but saw that there was dust in front of them. Ma Chao will be chased by the army at this time. Liu Bei hurriedly lined up. Hua Xiong saw that someone was answering, so he stopped the army, and the two armies looked at each other from a distance.

Hua Xiong looked at the majestic pass in front of him, which was to enter Xiao Pass, the main road in Guanzhong. This pass stands between the two peaks, there are two main roads to enter the peak, a big road is close to the pass, the more you go to the village, a husband is not open. A small road is indeed Yangping Avenue, straight around the city, although it is not easy to enter the city from time to time, because there are mountains on all sides, there is only one door.

It turns out that Xiaoguan needs to be advanced to Guanzhong, and it can only be entered from Guanshan and through the valley road. In this way, if Xiao Pass is not broken, there will be no hope for Xiliang to enter the Pass.

The two armies held each other for a while, then retreated, and Liu Bei led everyone into Xiao Pass. After Lu Bu heard about Hua Xiong's interrogation, he rushed to inquire about it. When he learned that Huaxiong had taken more than ten counties in the land of Sanfu, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and despite Jia Xu's persuasion, he joined forces with Huaxiong and set up camp outside Xiao Pass, preparing to break Xiao Pass in one fell swoop and enter the main pass.

After Liu Bei heard about Xun, he reorganized his army to fight in order to wait for the Xiliang army to attack. Lü Bu ordered Huaxiong to lead 10,000 troops to attack from the Xiaoguan Road, and led 20,000 troops and horses to take the trail and attack Xiaoguan City.

Sure enough, Huaxiong suffered a defeat due to the terrain of Xiaoguan, and in less than two hours, most of it was lost. Xiao Guanguang was attacked by arrows and oil drums, causing heavy casualties to the Xiliang army.

And after Lu Bu led an army around the city, the road was usually unobstructed.

Seeing this, Jia Xu couldn't help but look puzzled, and Lu Bu looked puzzled.

"Why is the military advisor troubled."

"Strange, this place is an important place for the Han army, if I were Zhuge Liang, I should ambush an army here and catch turtles in the urn. If so, we have no way out. ”

Lu Bu laughed.

"The military advisor is very worried, Zhuge Xiaoer has no talent, how can he compare with the military advisor."

After speaking, he urged the army forward, and suddenly there seemed to be a shout of killing in front of him, as if there were thousands of troops.

Lu Bu and Jia Xu glanced at each other, and their hearts trembled. Hurriedly ordered the tanma to go to investigate. After a while, there was no one in front of him, only many stones were placed, and the fog was filled. Lu Bu felt a little at ease in his heart, and led the army to the front, and Jia Xu was surprised when he saw the stone.

"Isn't it?" A bad thought flashed through Jia Xu's mind.
