Chapter 261: "Tongguan"
"Duan Xuan, is there any movement?" As soon as he sat down, Liu Yuan asked Lu Budao.
Lu Bu immediately said what he had been tested before: "King Yu, east of Huayin, at the end of the peach forest, there is a dangerous road that blocks the east-west road. Duan simmered there, and built a huge military village according to the mountain, and the turtle could not shrink. The last general guessed that he should be waiting for reinforcements from Li Guo's side in Chang'an! ”
When Li Ru next to him heard this, he immediately ordered someone to hang up the map, pointed to the location of Duan Xuan's lower village and said to Liu Yuan: "King, Duan Xuan's lower village is the most dangerous pass to enter Weinan. Previously, when Dong Taishi returned to the west, he saw that it was dangerous, bordering the big river in the north, standing on the mountainside in the south, and the nearby peaks were endless, and the road was high and narrow. In order to prevent the Kwantung princes from advancing westward, in addition to the Tunbing Hangu, Michi, and Huayin, Ling Duan built a fortress here, thinking that Guanzhong was the last barrier to the east. Now it seems that its military village is based on this village to prevent our army from advancing westward! ”
Listening to Li Ru's description, Liu Yuan thought slightly, this seems to be a bit like "Tongguan". After a little mover, Liu Yuan immediately ordered: "The army will rest in Dingcheng for the time being, Fengxian and Wenyou, you will go with the lonely guards to investigate!" ”
"No!"
In one day, the Xia army arrived twice, and the arrival of the guards suddenly caused a burst of tension in the Duan camp. Seeing the more than 3,000 well-equipped guards outside the city, compared to Lu Bu's command before, Duan Xuan felt more pressure in his heart for no reason, and frowned, the rear army of the Xia army has arrived?
But seeing the high "Xia" and "Liu" military flags, he faintly saw that in the enemy cavalry array, Lu Bu, who was dressed in bright armor, was respectfully on the side of one person, and Duan Xuan felt something. He stared at the enemy rider carefully, and looked at the eye-catching black dragon Daxu in the distance, it must be the chief of Hu Xia who has arrived.
"Pass the order! Each battalion is firmly defending the military village and must not act rashly! Duan Xuan commanded his guards.
The guards gave the order to leave, while Duan Xuan continued to stare at the front.
While Duan Xuan was staring at the guards, Liu Yuan also looked at Duan Xuan's military village carefully. Quietly, the guards formed a tight formation, firmly guarding him.
After a long time, Liu Yuan said to Li and Lu beside him: "This simmering is worthy of the family of Jiangmen, there are still some generals, this place is dangerous and narrow, it has chosen a good place, according to this, our army wants to break through the pass and enter, it is not easy." Looking at the layout of its camp, it is quite rigorous and should not be underestimated! ”
"Indeed, at the beginning, under the command of Taishi Dong, in terms of the talent of command, Xu Rong was the leader, Duan Xuan was second, and the rest of the people were all reckless, so there is nothing to be afraid of!" Li Ru answered, glanced at Lu Bu, and added: "Of course, the courage of Feng Xian is also unique in the world!" ”
Originally, he felt that he was underestimated Lu Bu, and his face was a little gloomy, but when he heard the words, he looked better.
Sighing slightly in his heart, Li Ru said to Liu Yuan: "It is not advisable to attack strongly, if you want to break it, you have to lure it out of the village." It's just that with Duan Xuan's calmness and the weakness of the troops under his command, I'm afraid it's not easy. ”
"This morning, the last general will lead the army to knock on the village, attract the enemy cavalry to fight, and kill the opponent's majesty, I am afraid that they will be more careful and dare not go out lightly!" At this time, Lu Bu added.
Liu Yuan nodded when he heard this, and in front of the village, there were obvious traces of the cavalry fighting, messy horseshoe marks, and many blood stains that were not covered by smoke and dust.
Raise your eyes and look to the west, behind the military camp of the section, the dangerous peaks are connected, the terrain is extremely high, from this point of view, you need to look up at it. The mountains on both sides are endless, the cliffs are deep and the valleys are deep, and the trees are lush. Listen carefully, it seems that you can still hear the sound of the river flowing south and hitting the mountains and rocks behind the village.
"Send someone to summon Duan Xuan, and say that he will talk before the camp!" Liu Yuan was suddenly interested, he wanted to see the simmer.
Xia Shu passed the message, Duan Xuan learned about it, immediately gathered the cavalry, wanted to leave the village, and was persuaded by his subordinates: "General, be careful of the enemy's deception!" ”
"It's okay, Liu Yuan is in battle with the dignity of the King of Xia, he is not afraid, if the turtle can't shrink, won't he teach the world jokes in vain!" Duan Xuan didn't care at this time, he also wanted to meet this King of Hu Xia.
Although he was not afraid, Duan Xuan only led a thousand horsemen out, but he still carefully leaned his back to the camp and did not approach the guards in the distance. The camp gate was not closed, and the figures of the rest of the soldiers in the camp flickered, obviously ready to take Duan Xuan back to the camp at any time.
Seeing this, Liu Yuan smiled: "This simmer, it's really too careful." Since he has left the camp, why is he so 'stingy', teaching people jokes. Since he is afraid that we will cheat, then let us meet him! ”
After speaking, he urged the war horse to step forward, but ordered Lu Bu and Long Wei to lead two hundred guards and soldiers to escort him, slowly approached Duan Xuan, and marched forward for a mile, stationing his horse. Seeing this, Duan Xuan also led two hundred horses forward.
"But Duan Xuan, Duan Zhongming?" From a distance of several zhang, Liu Yuan stared at Duan Xuan and asked.
Duan Xuan's face was calm, the corners of his forehead were a little wrinkled, his lips were short, he looked at the majestic Liu Yuan with his head held high, and replied in a deep voice: "It's the general!" Liu Yuan, the king of Xia? ”
"General Duan, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Li Ru next to him also arched his hand.
"Li Ru!" Duan Xuan saw Li Ru smiling, and swept around Lu Bu's body again: "The two of you voted for Liu Xia, but it's surprising!" ”
Li Ru smiled and did not answer.
"In the past, there were three Ming in Liangzhou, suppressing the chaos, making great achievements, threatening the sea, and all the Hu were afraid to obey. Duan Gong was the most powerful, slaughtering countless Qiang tribes. The general is a relative of Duan Gong, and his demeanor is extraordinary, and he has the style of Ji Ming! Liu Yuan praised slightly.
Sanming, Liangzhou, with Duan Cheng's most bloody and cruel methods against the Hu people, made the grassland tribes fear and hate. However, Liu Yuan, the king of Hu, is quite praised for Duan Cheng's way of acting, which is very in line with his thoughts, if he does not surrender, if he wants to make trouble, he will die.
"King Xia, if you have something to say, why bother to talk about the clan brother who has been an ancient brother for more than ten years!" Duan Xuan didn't seem to eat Liu Yuan's set.
Liu Yuan chuckled: "For General Duan, Gu has been 'admiring' for a long time. Now the lonely relatives led the army to come, such as Mount Tai pressed the eggs, if the general knew the time, as soon as possible to surrender, the lonely will be treated by the general. Otherwise, the lonely army will attack the village and break the attack, not to mention the lives of the soldiers in vain, and after the lonely army is broken, I am afraid that the general will go down, which is not good! ”
Hearing Liu Yuan's threatening words, Duan Xuan sneered: "This general also has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, if King Xia has the confidence to break through, he will attack, there is no need to make such a tongue!" My Duan clan has never been afraid of the Hu clan, if I can kill and injure your life more, and worship your ancestors at the first level, presumably the ancestors and clan brothers can also smile under the Nine Shadows! ”
"Presumptuous!" When Long Wei next to him heard this, he immediately shouted angrily.
Liu Yuan stopped Long, his cold eyes flashed, and his voice became cold: "Then let's see the real chapter on the battlefield!" ”
After a pause, the corners of Liu Yuan's mouth showed a smile: "The general is so calm, I'm afraid I'm just waiting for Guanzhong Li, Guo and others to come to help!" Hehe, kindly remind the general, his own generation, with the army, is not necessarily a good thing! ”
"I had a great conversation with the general today, and I will talk about it again in the future! Lonely is gone! When it was over, Liu Yuan deliberately said loudly, and his voice spread far away. Then he turned around and led the people away.
Seeing this, Duan Xuan frowned slightly, did not react, and returned to the camp.
"King, it seems that Duan Xuan really has no intention of surrendering!" On the way back, Li Ru said in a low voice.
"Lone Ben never thought that he could speak with his tongue, and he had to rely on swords and soldiers! Let's go, it's not early, explore again in the north and south directions! The leader turned around and probed around the camp again, and he was almost done before returning to the camp.
And Duan Xuan, although he knew Liu Yuan's purpose, he didn't dare to send troops to stop it.
