There were loud noises up and down the pass.

The first time they saw the bomb, the unsuspecting Xiliang Army was blown up.

At the juncture, the Xiliang army scurried with his head in the sound of the explosion.

Unbeknownst to them, the best option at this time was to lie on the ground.

It's really bad luck to be blown up by a bomb, and it can only be said that it is a fate.

If you are lucky, lying on the ground is enough to survive this attack of Cao Jun.

It's a pity that Xiliangjun doesn't understand this.

All they wanted to do was to escape as quickly as possible to a place where they could hide.

The Xiliang army that was running around was blown down countless times in the bursts of explosions.

The bombardment of Cao's army lasted for half an hour.

The Tongguan Pass was filled with thick white smoke.

Cao Shuo raised his arm: "Stop firing." ”

One by one, the catapults stopped.

After they stopped, a series of explosions were heard at the pass.

The last bang ended.

Cao Shuo waited for a moment, and the white smoke that permeated the vicinity of the pass dissipated a little, but he still couldn't clearly see the outline of the pass.

He pulled out his sword and pointed at the pass: "Attack quietly, take Tongguan!" ”

The soldiers of the Cao army, who had been prepared for a long time, held their shields and rushed towards the pass.

The soldiers did not shout, and their charge was silent.

From the white smoke pass, there was no view of the outside of the city.

The white smoke that lingered around the pass was the product of the burning of gunpowder.

It is filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

Before the Cao army charged, they had already put a white cloth on their mouths and noses.

But the Xiliang army at the pass didn't know this.

The strong smell choked them and they couldn't breathe.

Cao Jun's ladder was on the wall, and Xiliang Jun hadn't noticed it yet.

The ones who rushed to the front were Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

The two of them climbed the city wall and brandished their weapons to cut down the headless and brainless Xiliang army.

More and more Cao troops landed at the pass.

Above Tongguan, a one-sided battle quickly unfolded.

When the white smoke completely cleared, Tongguan planted the battle flag of Cao Jun.

The battle flag fluttered in the wind, indicating that the soldiers of the Cao army had taken this Xiongguan.

Lead the army to Tongguan.

Cao's army, which seized the pass, opened the gate.

Entering the pass, Cao Shuo saw a mess.

There was blurred flesh and blood everywhere, it was the Xiliang Army that had been blown up.

As he was walking forward, Yan Liang walked over with a human head.

Seeing Cao Shuo, he bowed and saluted: "Childe." ”

"Whose head is General Yan mentioning?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Horse play." Lifting the head and showing it to Cao Shuo, Yan Liang said: "This guy is a hard temper, I asked him if he wanted to surrender, and he beat him without saying a word." I slashed him. ”

"General Ma." Cao Shuo asked Ma Teng, "Do you think that human head is a horse playing?" ”

Ma Teng approached Yan Liang, looked at it carefully, and replied to Cao Shuo: "It's just a horse playing." ”

"As General Yan said, he is also a bloody person." Cao Shuo asked, "I don't know where my body is?" ”

"I don't know where I was dragged by the soldiers to play." Yan Liang said: "If I hadn't cut off my head first, I wouldn't have been able to keep my head." ”

"Then bury his head." Cao Shuo said: "We will be stationed in Tongguan and wait for my father to lead the army to come. ”

Cao Shuo led a large army and stationed at Tongguan.

Cao Cao, who was in Chang'an, received the news of the recapture of Tongguan within two days.

"It's really wise for Duke Cao to order the eldest son to recapture Tongguan." Xun You, who was standing beside him, said: "If it were any person, I'm afraid I haven't been able to take the pass at this time." ”

"I'm looking for what weapon Zirong used to attack Tongguan." Cao Cao said: "If this kind of weapon is spread to the world, then it will still be available?" ”

"Cao Gong's worries are a little redundant." Xun You smiled indifferently: "The weapon is in the hands of the eldest son, isn't it controlled by the Cao family?" The eldest son has always had strict control over the manufacture of weapons, who else can master the manufacturing method besides him? ”

"Gongda is right." Cao Cao nodded, but his face was very solemn: "Zirong has such a weapon, if you can tell me the method of manufacturing......

"Could it be that Cao Gong is also planning to make some?" Without waiting for Cao Cao to finish speaking, Xun You asked.

"This thing is hugely powerful, with it, why worry about the world?" Cao Cao's eyes showed longing.

"I don't think Cao Gong needs to get the way to make it." Xun You said: "If Duke Cao wants, just ask the eldest son, is it possible that he will hide it and refuse to hand it over?" What is especially important is that the manufacture of weapons is the material and financial resources of the eldest son, and Cao Gong only needs to use it, and he does not need to invest a copper coin, isn't it worry-free and money-saving? ”

Looking at Xun You, Cao Cao shook his head and smiled: "If Zirong knew that Gongda was plotting against him like this, he would definitely not stop with you." ”

"If the eldest son refuses to give up with me, there will be no way." Xun You smiled: "He can't refuse Cao Gong?" ”

"When the grain and grass are all raised, I will personally go to ask him for it." A smile appeared on the corner of Cao Cao's mouth, and he gently patted Xun You's arm: "With Gongda here, I can probably find a way to maneuver in many things." ”

"Cao Gong praised it." Xun Yu bowed in response.

After answering, he coughed violently twice.

Feeling that his throat was a little uncomfortable, he quickly covered his mouth.

When he removed his hand from his mouth, there was a handful of blood in his palm.

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao was taken aback and hurriedly grabbed his wrist and shouted to the side: "Doctor, hurry up and call the doctor!" ”

Cao Cao shouted for the healer in a panic, and soon a healer ran over.

"Hurry up and treat Gongda and see what is wrong with him." Cao Cao shouted to the healer.

The doctor hurriedly responded and helped Xun You to sit down on the side.

Following aside, Cao Cao's face was full of concern, for fear that Xun You would have three longs and two shorts.

Seeing his concern, Xun You smiled indifferently: "Gong Cao doesn't have to worry, I'm fine." ”

"It's no big deal to vomit blood?" Cao Cao interrupted him: "Don't speak, let the healer see." ”

After taking Xun You's pulse, the doctor got up and said to Cao Cao: "Gong Cao, please forgive me for being incompetent......"

As soon as he said this, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly widened, and he stepped forward and grabbed his collar: "What is Gongda?" ”

"Xun Gong has tuberculosis." The doctor replied tremblingly: "Actually, I have already contracted it, but I didn't care about it before, and now I am ......terminally ill."

Tuberculosis is also an incurable disease in later generations, not to mention in the late Eastern Han Dynasty when the medical conditions were very bad!

But Cao Cao didn't care whether the doctor was capable or not, and grabbed him by the neckline: "Treat me!" If you can't cure Gongda, you will die! ”

Cao Cao's fierce appearance frightened the healer, and he didn't know how to respond.

Xun You smiled indifferently and said to Cao Cao: "Don't be angry, although I am sick, I will not be able to die for a while." ”
