A few days later.

Michi-gun.

The army of the seven generals converged outside the county, immediately integrated, and attacked Michi County.

I thought it was a vicious battle, but unexpectedly, what was waiting for the seven generals was a city gate wide open, and there were no defenders on the city wall.

In the end, a small commander took the initiative to ask for his life, and with a small team of soldiers, regardless of life and death, he entered Michi County to investigate, and after half an hour, the team returned to the county intact, bringing an incredible result, that is, except for the people, Michi County did not find any soldiers.

The Seventh General, who was quite strange in his heart, had no choice but to pass through Michi County first, and then the troops divided into two routes and marched towards Caoyang County and Sankun County.

After a few more days, when the army of the seven generals and the two roads arrived at Caoyang County and Sankun County, they encountered the same situation as Michi County, the city gate was wide open, except for the people, there was not a single soldier to be seen, and the treasury was also empty, not even a grain of grain was left.

The two armies that did not believe in evil rushed to Zheng County and Hongnong County one after another, and the result was still like that, without any variables, and the successive victories without a fight did not make the morale of the army led by the Seventh General rise much, but because they couldn't fight, it was like fighting on cotton with all their might, which made them a little weak.

Seeing such a situation, the Seventh General simply didn't even go to the last Lushi County, and didn't have much hope in his heart, but rushed to Hangu Pass with a large army, they didn't believe that Xu Zisheng would even give up Hangu Pass, it would be a suicide path.

went deep into the hinterland of Xu Zisheng's territory, and successively won so many counties and counties, the army led by the seven generals did not get the slightest harvest of grain and grass, and they couldn't raise it at all by fighting to feed the war, plus they were the division of the Son of Heaven, and they couldn't forcibly take the people's food at all, these days, the consumption of grain and grass was very large, and the supply was also because of the long distance, and there were some faults, which Mo Shuyan did not expect at the time, and it was part of Xu Zisheng's later addition.

At this time, at the head of Hangu Pass, Jia Xu, Chen Gong, Zhang Liao and others were stationed here.

Just when the army of the Seven Generals passed through Michi County, Jia Xu was sent by Xu Zisheng to come here to help, of course, secretly to monitor Lu Bu's every move, so as not to be impulsive and make all the arrangements fall short.

Lu Bu, who was already dissatisfied because he retreated to Hangu Pass and lost a large amount of territory, was even more angry when he saw Jia Xu coming, and left the matter to Zhang Liao and Chen Gong to be responsible, so he began to stay in the pass all day, regardless of these things, and temporarily let Jia Xu do it.

"It seems that this method is still working."

Jia Xu held the news that the spies had just sent in his hand, and a little smile appeared on his face.

In those counties, although there is not a single soldier, but the intelligence system has not been evacuated, in such a short period of time, the army of the seven generals has nothing to do with this intelligence system hidden in the shadows, plus, most of the people in these intelligence systems have already arrived at Cao Cao's territory, and the rest are good at finding out information, and the seven generals have nothing to do with them.

"What's the good news?" Chen Gong asked.

"Unable to obtain grain and grass in the counties and counties, their food and grass supply has begun to have a problem with the problem."

Jia Xu didn't hide it, this is not a secret after all, let Chen Gong and them know, and they can have more confidence in their hearts.

The importance of grain and grass supply, even Zhang Liao knows the abnormality, not to mention Chen Gong, hearing this news, Chen Gong couldn't help but smile and said: "This is good news, the deeper you go into the hinterland, the more difficult it is to supply grain and grass, it seems that they must fight quickly." ”

"A quick battle, the next step is not so easy, after all, their strength is several times that of our side, to fight less and more, if it is not for the geographical advantage, this battle will not be fought at all, it will definitely be lost." Zhang Liao said without scruples.

Zhang Liao's words were like a basin of cold water, which extinguished the joy of Chen Gong alive.

"As long as you hold on for five days, once Cao Cao's territory is in chaos and the supply of grain and grass cannot be supplied, the army will retreat." Jia Xu said firmly.

If Jia Xu didn't see any hope at the beginning, then the current news is equivalent to injecting hope into him, making him finally feel that this matter may be successful, as long as it is successful, all the objections will be dissipated, and now Chang'an City is becoming more and more turbulent.

...............

Three days later, when the seven generals led the army to the city of Hangu Pass, the eyes of each soldier were filled with a strong fighting spirit, suppressed for so long, and finally saw the enemy in Hangu Pass, these soldiers were gearing up, almost couldn't help but rush up, this feeling of victory without a fight, too much to make people feel aggrieved.

"Lu Fengxian, dare to go out of the city to fight!" Zhao Yun stepped forward and pointed directly at Lu Bu on the wall.

Lu Bu, who was wearing armor, held Fang Tian's halberd, and sneered loudly: "Cao Cao's generals, in addition to attacking them in groups, what else can they do, let me go down to see you make a fool of yourself, I really don't want to." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yun's face was a little difficult to look at, he also knew that after the generals fought against Lu Bu in Xuchang City, he also knew that after wasting so much effort, Xiahoudun lost one of his left eyes because of this, and even let Lu Bu escape, which is indeed not very glorious, and now that Lu Bu said it in front of this juncture, Zhao Yun is indeed a little speechless.

"When you go out of the city to fight, you will fight alone, and you will never send an extra soldier." Zhao Yun said loudly.

Hearing this, Lu Bu was quite moved, and had the intention of going down to the city to fight, when he was in Bishui Pass, he was retreated by Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei, Lu Bu was still holding a breath in his heart, and he wanted to go down to the city to fight with Zhao Yun, and he had this evil breath.

However, Xu Zisheng had already instructed that in order to prevent the seven generals from fighting against him desperately, anyone could go out of the city to fight, but he couldn't, and he must ensure that Hangu Pass could hold on, and this battle was not for attack, but for holding.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu was a little irritable, and in desperation, he had to turn his head sideways to Zhang Liao and ask, "Wen Yuan, maybe fight with Zhao Zilong?" ”

"Don't win, but you can be undefeated." Zhang Liao clenched his fists and said.

"That's enough."

Lu Bu looked happy, turned his head to the city and said in a condensed voice: "First fight with my subordinates, if you can win, then talk about other things." ”

As soon as the words fell, the gate of Hangu Pass opened, and Zhang Liaoduan, who was holding two simple knives, sat on his horse and walked out of the city, never leaving Zhao Yun's body for half a minute.
