In Dagu Pass, Lu Bu's mentality completely collapsed, Hu Zhen Mingzhe protected himself, and Xu Rongli was not able to catch it, which made him quite desperate. Military generals stand in troubled times, not with a loyal and brave heart. Lu Bu knows this very well, for him, he is not a descendant of Dong Zhuo Liangzhou, if there is no elite of Liangzhou, then his status will be greatly reduced, and he will eventually be reduced to a role like Xu Rong who can only rely on people's breath. At that time, whether it is the older generation of Zhonglang generals Duan Xuan, Hu Zhen, Niu Fu, Dong Yue and others, or the new generation of powerful Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, they will jump above him.

Lu Bu would never accept such a fate.

The light wielded by Fang Tian's halberd contained not only the determination of a martial artist to become famous all over the world, but also his ambition to be unwilling to live under others.

Then a military meeting was held, and Lu Bu said to the generals: "Wei Yue died on the battlefield, and I hate it deeply. It's a pity that now Cao Cao and Xu Chu are coming to the pass with strong soldiers, and Hu Zhen is not saving him, not when I am so angry. There is a saying: It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Today, you are summoned to discuss the matter of withdrawing from the army. ”

All the generals agreed with Lu Bu's statement, the capital they used to settle down was the same as Lu Bu, they were all the elite of the merger state under their command, how could they be willing to let them die in battle at Dagu Pass.

Among the generals, Hao Meng, a native of Hanoi, has more private songs, and has always had more right to speak, he said: "What the general said is extremely true, but the decree of Xiangguo is still in his ears, if he abandons Dagu Pass like this, I am afraid that he will be blamed." ”

Lu Bu said hatefully: "Now Xiangguo is surrounded by the enemy, so he will defend the pass for ten days, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for Luoyang reinforcements ......, a few days ago I learned from Li Su that Yuan Shaotun's troops are near the river, and seeing that the battle in Yique and Dagu is anxious, thousands of troops have been dispatched. ”

"And that's not all." Wei Xu suddenly said, "I heard that Niu Fu led 20,000 troops to attack the Baibo army, but he couldn't win, and Xiangguo wouldn't send troops to reinforce it." ”

Hao Meng said: "In this case, I have a plan." ”

Lu Bu said suspiciously: "You want to wait with me to hear it?" ”

"And hold on for a few days, and then withdraw to Luoyang."

“...... Not unavoidable. ”

Hao Meng's meaning, if you retreat directly, you will be scolded by Dong Zhuo, so you will guard it first, make a 'dedication' look, and then retreat.

Everyone felt reasonable, and Lu Bu made a decision.

......

When the war began, Cao Cao sent Lou Yi to attack with 500 dead soldiers, and according to the deployment before the war, he ordered the soldiers to start digging trenches and high mounds in front of the pass, and Xu Chu sent people to cut down trees and be ready to build watchtowers at any time.

Lou Yi led the soldiers to carry the pontoon bridge and the ladder to the pass in the rain of arrows, and was immediately attacked by sandalwood, hot oil and other objects. The boiling hot oil was mixed with the feces of many animals, and it was extremely poisonous, and once the soldiers were touched, it was better luck to die at that time, and there was less of a lot of subsequent torture. After two hours, none of the soldiers could climb to the pass, and Cao Cao, who was supervising the battle in the rear, saw this and withdrew his troops.

Cao Cao attacked for a while, and Xu Chu attacked.

After a whole day of attacking in the same way, the ditches and mounds began to take shape, so at night, Xu Chu sent people to build watchtowers under the cover of night.

Early the next morning, the offensive continued, and Lu Bu came to the city to inspect as usual, but was shocked to find that several watchtowers with a height higher than the high walls of Dagu Pass had been erected outside the pass, and he couldn't help but be shocked. These watchtowers were poorly built, in fact, Lu Bu sent troops out of the customs at this time, and rushed over at any cost, and these watchtowers could be pulled out.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun both suggested that Lu Bu do this.

Lu Bu was reluctant to agree, but in order to make a good trick and let Dong Zhuo know that he was guarding the customs with his heart, he asked Gao Shun to take a hundred dead soldiers out of the customs.

A hundred dead soldiers went to rush to the already decent forward positions arranged by Xu Chu and Cao Cao, and replaced them with other generals, who was willing to do this thankless job, that is, Gao Shun.

Of course, the result is also obvious, Gao Shun not only did not destroy the watchtower, but only went out of the customs for a few dozen steps, and was shot back by arrows.

Seeing this, Xu Chu smiled and said, "It seems that Lu Bu doesn't have the heart to defend the big valley!" ”

Guo Jia heard the excitement in Xu Chu's words, in fact, he was also very excited, Lu Bu didn't want to defend it, the day of breaking the pass was just around the corner, once Dagu was taken, the threat of Yuyuan Pass would no longer exist. If you pass the pass, then the road from Yingchuan to Luoyang will be greatly shortened, and it will be easier to recover Luoyang at that time.

Turning his eyes to the front line, under the cover of the archers in the watchtower, the siege soldiers continued to climb the wall, but because Lu Bu personally went to the gate to supervise the battle, it could not pose a substantial threat to the Dong army. So when it was twilight on this day, the combined forces of Xu and Cao still failed to break through, so they had to withdraw their troops and fight again.

That night, Xi Zhong came to find Xu Chu, and the two sat in the tent.

Taking the bowl of hot soup handed over by Xu Chu, Xi Zhong took a shallow sip, and then said with a smile: "Lord, who will be the main force for the siege tomorrow?" ”

Xu Chu didn't understand why Xi Zhong suddenly asked this question, but he still told him bluntly and said, "It's the two generals Shi Jian and Lou Yi under General Cao." ”

"No."

"What's wrong?"

Xi Zhong said: "Recently, watching Lu Bu's measures, on the surface, it seems that he personally supervised the battle at the juncture and sent the fierce general Gao Shun out of the pass, doing his best to guard the pass, but I all know that Lu Bu is just afraid of being blamed by Dong Zhuo." After two days of fierce attack, Dong Jun's arrows, sasswood and other materials to guard the pass were consumed quite a lot, in fact, it was almost the end of the strong crossbow, I expected that as long as I increased my strength tomorrow, Lu Bu would not continue to defend it. ”

Xu Chu asked: "Zhicai said that I should pick a small department to tackle tomorrow?" ”

Xi Zhong bowed his head and said, "Yes." Le Wenqian has arrived with a baggage, he has not been in battle recently, he has been waiting for a long time, as long as the lord orders him to lead his troops to attack the city tomorrow, he will be like a fierce beast, and he can be the first to go in a battle. ”

It seems that in order to confirm Xizhong's statement, at this time, Xiahou Yuan, who rushed to aid Yique Pass, sent intelligence, Hu Zhen and Xu Rong still had no signs of sending troops to aid Dagu Pass, and the arrival of Xiahou Yuan and others was bound to make Hu Zhen even more reluctant to send troops to Dagu Pass.

Xu Chu immediately set off to find Cao Cao to explain his intentions.

To be able to take the Dagu Pass as soon as possible, Cao Cao has nothing to do.

On the second day, the coalition forces launched a general attack.

Le Jin took the lead in the camp, and Shi Jian and Lou Yi shared the key passes, because they had the intention of breaking through, and the soldiers who tackled the key problems today were more elite than in the past - Lejin's first camp was a main force of Xu Chu, and Shi Jian and Lou Yi also selected a team based on Danyang soldiers from the army. It is precisely because Cao Cao and Xu Chu are determined to break through the barrier that today's offensive is more intense.

After witnessing the battle situation, Lu Bu on the Dagu Pass supervised the battle for half a day, quietly left from the pass, and took the elite of Bingzhou to Luoyang in the north.

As soon as he left, Dong Jun on the gate had little fighting spirit left, and as Xi Zhong said, Le Jin was keenly aware of the changes in Dong Jun on the pass, and took the lead, climbed the ladder, and climbed the wall of Dagu Pass.

After a little resistance, Dong Jun threw away his weapons and surrendered.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and said: "Zhong Kang, your first arrival in the camp is really extraordinary, and Le Wenqian is really a man who is unworthy." ”

"Shi Jian and Lou Yi are not idle, so Brother Meng De should not favor one over the other." Xu Chu replied with a smile, the two came to the pass hand in hand, and after a while, the gate was wide open, and the two armies entered the pass.

Xu Chu and Cao Cao captured Dagu Pass, and the world shook.

The first to learn the news was Sun Jian, who was rushing to Yique Pass with all his might.
