More than a thousand years ago, there were also two self-confident people who quietly met in this place and fought with wits and courage, which were talked about by future generations.

After Cao Cao's defeat at Chibi, he chose to defeat Huarong Dao, so as to quickly get rid of the pursuit of Sun Liu's coalition army and retreat to Jiangling, and Zhuge Liang calculated that Cao Cao would be defeated and go to Huarong, and watched the sky at night, and calculated that Cao Cao's luck was not exhausted and he died, considering that Cao Cao and Guan Yu were gracious, so he sent Guan Yunchang to guard Huarong Road, so that Guan Yu returned Cao Cao's kindness, and Guan Yu would no longer tie Cao Cao's favor in the future.

After that, Cao Cao really retreated from Wulin to Huarong Road, and laughed three times on the way that Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu were not resourceful enough, and did not set up an ambush at a dangerous place. However, Zhao Zilong laughed with a smile, thanks to Xu Huang and Zhang He, who were both enemies of Zhao Yun, Cao Cao was able to escape; The second laughed at Zhang Yide, and it was Zhang Liao and Xu Huang who resisted Zhang Fei and made Cao Cao escape again.

The three smiles are not trivial, laughing out of Guan Yunchang, and on the Huarong narrow road where there is a husband in danger, coupled with Cao Jun's several blows, at this time he is unable to fight again, helpless, Cao Cao had to personally beg Guan Yu to let him go, Guan Yu remembered the old kindness, and explained Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao could return to Jiangling.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was very popular in the Ming Dynasty, so popular that the generals of the Qing army were all in their hands, watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms learn to fight, three-year-old children know that Huarong Road can't go. Therefore, Gao Yingxiang and Li Jing want to be different, and they say the opposite.

In November of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang led all the troops to rush into Huarong Road on an afternoon with a cold wind and a light rain, and he could arrive in Jiangling from here in just one day by taking Huarong Road.

If everything goes well, maybe not only will they be able to break through the pursuit of the Ming army, but even Jiangling will be able to take advantage of the situation in one fell swoop.

A light rain drifted in the air, and now it was a cold wind, and the rain dripped from the cold armor into the clothes. A little cold will also be, they are all strong martial artists, not afraid of the cold! But the bad thing is the road condition of Huarong Road, when Cao Cao fled to Taiping Bridge, the people and horses fell into the mud, had to throw away the horse whip, dismount and walk, there is still the ancient place name of "Cao Whip Port".

When there are still 20 miles of road from the exit of Huarong Road Maojiakou, the ground is narrow and the road is dangerous, bumpy and difficult to walk, and Cao Jun encountered mud at that time, and the road was impassable. Cao Cao ordered the weak soldiers to cut down reeds and artemisia grass to fill the road, and these soldiers, that is, the auxiliaries, trampled on the horses and horses, and fell into the mud, and many people died.

Of course, if there were auxiliaries and civilians on the side at this time, Gao Yingxiang would definitely not be stingy with their lives, even if he took their corpses to fill them, he would fill the mud pits on the ground and let the army pass.

But now no, Gao Yingxiang's subordinates are all heavy cavalry, even people with horses and horses, often people and horses are stuck in the mud pit, Huarong Road, which can be passed in one day, Gao Yingxiang walked for two days, only walked more than half, and most of the people were sleepy and lacking military supplies.

Of course, Gao Yingxiang and Li Jing were in a good mood at this time, because the prospect could be expected, and he would definitely shock the Ming army when he came out of Huarong Dao.

Gao Yingxiang's walk on Huarong Road was indeed unexpected by many people, but this definitely did not include Hong Chengchou.

When Gao Yingxiang worked hard and arrived at Maojiakou, he saw Hong Chengchou, who had been waiting for a long time in front.

Among the commanders in the late Ming Dynasty, Lu Xiangsheng was known for his charismatic and powerful force, and if it was purely about the art of strategy and war, Hong Chengchou could rank among the top three in the world.

Lu Xiangsheng's repeated victories blocked Hong Chengchou's exploits, not that Hong Chengchou was weaker than Lu Xiangsheng, but that the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty was too rotten, and Hong Chengchou, who was good at using his brains and powerless, was of course better than Lu Xiangsheng, who was good at governing the army and better at dancing the big sword.

But Hong Chengchou, who has a keen sense of smell and strategy, after learning the news that Gao Yingxiang was defeated by Lu Xiangsheng in Yichun, as the enemy who knows Gao Yingxiang best, Hong Chengchou understands Gao Yingxiang's character of not looking back after hitting the south wall, and he has already guessed in his heart that this guy must still enter Sichuan. And the quickest way to enter Sichuan is from Hubei.

So I asked the King of Inspiration to inspect the riverside a long time ago, and sure enough, Gao Yingxiang crossed the river from Chibi, and disappeared without a trace as soon as he crossed the river, Hong Chengchou knew that this guy must play tricks, and Huarong Dao was Gao Yingxiang's best choice.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou led his troops from Wuhan to march lightly all the way, and after traveling hundreds of miles a day, he arrived first and rushed to the exit of Huarong Road, preparing to encircle Gao Yingxiang here.

"Gao Yingxiang, your strategy has been seen through by this official, and now that your future is broken, why let your soldiers die in vain, it is better to surrender early, maybe this official can leave you with the whole corpse!" Surrounded by the guards, Hong Chengchou hid behind the formation and shouted to Gao Yingxiang.

"Hong Chengchou, don't talk nonsense. You think that with more than 10,000 people in your mere body, you can stop this king, it's just wishful thinking! Give me offense! Gao Yingxiang, who was extremely fragile in his heart, knew that the more he dragged on, the greater the danger, and he didn't give Hong Chengchou a chance to open his mouth at all, so he was going to start playing with his life.

This is the end of the shouting in front of the two armies in Huarong Daoli. Gao Yingxiang's heavy armored cavalry launched a decisive charge, breaking through the three-layer large array laid by Hong Chengchou in a series of battles, defeating Hong Chengchou's soldiers.

But Gao Yingxiang defeated Hong Chengchou no matter how, and attacked all day in a row, from morning to dark, and defeated Hong Chengchou's formation several times, but there was no way to break through.

"King Chuang, it's not a way to go on like this! There are still more than 20 miles away from the exit, even if the Ming army is defeated, we will not be able to break through, and the Ming army can take the opportunity to regain its strength. Li Jing said to Gao Yingxiang in distress.

"The brave wins when we meet on the narrow road, and now it's too late for us to retreat, Hong Chengchou will definitely bring people to entangle, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that the chasing soldiers will come again, blocking us in Huarong Road, and encircling it for annihilation. Now the plan is to completely defeat Hong Chengchou here, so that he can't stop me! Gao Yingxiang's eyes were red and he looked at the cavalry who were constantly impacting Hong Chengchou's defense line, and he was extremely remorseful, and he muttered as if he was cheering himself up: "It must be possible, Hong Chengchou is only more than 10,000 people, I will definitely be able to defeat him all, if it weren't for the narrow terrain here, there are mud puddles everywhere, and the cavalry can't assault, I would have defeated Hong Chengchou a long time ago!" ”

"Don't panic King Chuang, and wait here, this king will go back to the Heavenly Palace and invite reinforcements for King Chuang. When the time comes, there will be heavenly soldiers and generals to help, and they will be able to help the king break the enemy! Li Jing said to Gao Yingxiang with a solemn expression.

Gao Yingxiang was startled at first when he heard this, then glanced at Li Jing in a daze, and suddenly said: "The grace of the king of heaven to save his life, this king is unforgettable, I and the king of heaven are like old friends at first sight, and we hate to see each other late." Gao Yingxiang swears here that he is willing to be a brother with the king of heaven in the future, and the elder brother is invited to worship the younger brother! ”

Saying that, Gao Yingxiang was about to kneel down on one knee to Li Jing.
