Zhending is about sixty or seventy miles away from Jingcheng Pass, the cavalry can reach it in one day, and the infantry is much slower, and the 5,000 army is under the command of Zhang Quan, accompanied by Hua Mulan, Changsun Sheng, Luo Tong, Long Ji, and Hua Rong.

As the sun sets, the orange sun shines on the land of Hebei, and the Hutuo River is sparkling and rippling in the ocean of sunset. It was getting late, and there was no hope for Jingcheng Pass, so Zhang Quan ordered the army to camp on the spot to rest.

Jingcheng Pass, the main camp of the city tower. Zhou Cang and Zhu Wu sat on both sides.

"This afternoon, the captain of the university led the cavalry through Jingcheng Pass, and I think that the lord will be able to come at noon tomorrow" Glancing at Zhu Wu, who was contemplating and thinking, Zhou Cang said.

"Yes, the lord will be able to come tomorrow" Zhu Wu nodded, a little absent-minded.

Zhu Wu usually dresses up as a scribe, and what he does is also what literati do, but in Zhou Cang's eyes, he is more like a military general, with good martial arts, a bold and uninhibited personality, no red tape, and no trace of a scribe at all, so Zhou Cang's relationship with him is okay.

Seeing that Zhu Wu, who had always been hearty, looked sluggish, he asked puzzledly: "Commander Zhu has something on his mind?" ”

"Do I look like someone who has something on my mind?" Zhu Wu stopped thinking and smiled.

"Sort of!" Zhou Cang nodded, a hint of unnaturalness flashing on his dark face.

"You're .........!" Zhu Wu patted his thigh and looked at the unnatural Zhou Cang, and said with a smile: "After following the lord for less than half a year, the Zhou guards, who have always been wooden, have become joking!" ”

Since Taihang Mountain was defeated by Luo Tong and took refuge in Zhang Quan, he has been following him as his escort, from the good brother Pei Yuanshao who died in Tianjing Pass, the lord's eyes are a little unnatural every time he looks at him, and it is more of a shame.

At the beginning, he suggested the lord, Pei Yuanshao was free and easy by nature, and he was used to living a carefree life in the cottage, and staying by his side might annoy the lord, so he might as well let him go to a less important place, which led to the scene where Pei Yuanshao rebuilt Tianjing Pass and was shot by Lu Bu.

When there is no one anymore, the lord is often reluctant to face him alone, this is the lord who really treats him as a brother, but he fails to take care of his only brother, and he feels guilty, but who can say for sure about the battlefield!

It's been half a year since he left the lord's side, and sometimes he returns to the atmosphere of talking with the lord when he speaks unnaturally.

Zhou Cang smiled bitterly, he wanted to say it but couldn't say it.

Zhu Wu and Zhou Cang have a similar temper, and they also know a little secret between each other, Zhou Cang is like this, and Zhu Wu also thought of why Zhou Cang was melancholy. Hurriedly opened the topic and said: "Dugu Xin led the army into Taiyuan and went straight to Jinyang, I expected him to send a general to attack my Jingcheng Pass, and now the Lord is retreating, tonight may be their last sneak attack, we should be careful to deal with it." “

"The lord's letter said to be careful to guard against a sneak attack, but how long has it been, and I haven't even seen a shadow of the enemy, and now the lord is coming with a large army, they won't sneak attack at this time," Zhou Cang said.

Shaking his head, Zhu Wu said: "Brother Zhou's words are wrong, the sneak attack on Jingcheng Pass is early, the main guild will send troops to attack, now at this time, there is Yuan Shao chasing soldiers behind the lord, and the sneak attack on Jingcheng Pass is successful, and there are chasing soldiers after the siege in front of the lord, what is the result, Brother Zhou should be able to think of it." “

"Shhh Zhou Cang gasped, "If this is the case, the lord will fall into a place of no return!" “

"So tonight is the most critical moment, don't be sloppy."

"But?" Zhou Cang suddenly thought of something, rubbed the back of his head, and had doubts on his face, "Jingcheng Guantian is dangerous, there are a total of 6,000 people and horses with you and me, unless a large army is dispatched, isn't it a fool's dream to succeed in a sneak attack?" “

Zhou Cang's words were closed, and Zhu Wu laughed out loud. Zhou Cang was puzzled and asked, "Why is Commander Zhu laughing, did I say the wrong thing?" “

"The enemy knows that there is Brother Zhou in Jingcheng Pass, but do you know that I am Zhu Wuhu?"

"Yes!" Zhou Cang couldn't help nodding, Zhu Wu had just arrived with his army recently, and at that time, there was a light rain everywhere, and people were all cowering How could they expect that Zhu Wu would suddenly reinforce Jingcheng Pass.

The sky is getting dark, the silent night is very lively, the frogs and cicadas are singing each other, and the mountains in the distance are like a giant dragon swimming in the darkness, and only the winding and solid backbone can be seen as if a shadow.

On the east side of Jingcheng Pass, in a dense forest, a large number of sergeants dressed in armor and armed with sharp weapons gathered, and the continuous rain made the soft ground in the woods muddy, so tired that the soldiers could only rest with their backs against the trees.

In the center, a man took advantage of the faint light on the tower of Jingcheng Pass in the distance and said to a few people around him: "The lord has sent a letter, Zhang Quan will be able to reach Jingcheng Pass tomorrow, and the lord asks us to take Jingcheng Pass tonight, can you be confident?" “

"Yes!" The crowd lowered their voices, but they were still sonorous.

Gao Ran was ordered by Yuan Shao and Zhao Jun to gather 3,000 elite soldiers, and took advantage of the rainy season to quietly lurk under the Jingcheng Pass, waiting for Yuan Shao's order to sneak attack and take the Jingcheng Pass. Before coming, Gao Ran had already investigated the defense of Jingcheng Pass clearly, and the Jingcheng Pass guard would have the original Yellow Turban thief, and then took refuge in Zhang Quan, and Zhou Cang, who had been serving as a guard, led 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison.

Although a guard has some force, how to know how to use soldiers, Gao Ran didn't care, he was afraid of the danger of Weijing Pass, and he also found a path that only allowed one person to pass, which could go directly to the top of the city pass, so he secretly climbed up in the middle of the night when he was asleep.

At the northern foot of Jingcheng Pass, a group of people gathered at the upper feet, holding various weapons in their hands, and gathered around a middle-aged man of medium stature and a fierce face.

This person is the leader of Taihang Mountain, Montenegro, Dugu Xin led the army to kill Ben Jinyang, leaving him before Zhang Quan returned to the state, waiting for the opportunity to seize the Jingcheng Pass, yesterday I got the news that Zhang Quan has returned from Zhending, it is estimated that tomorrow will be able to reach the Jingcheng Pass, today is the last day to seize the Jingcheng Pass.

As soon as the army arrived, he sent people who were familiar with the terrain in this area to explore the way, but until now, the pathfinders had not arrived, and Montenegro was anxious and abnormal, pacing back and forth.

He is not Zhang Yan's henchman, even if he follows Zhang Yan to Youzhou, he will not be reused, so it is better to follow Dugu Xin more realistically, this is not just put into effect, he has to be Dugu Xin's heavy responsibility, he takes this battle very seriously.

At this time, a person came in front of Montenegro, and without waiting for him to speak, Montenegro strode up to him and asked anxiously, "How?" “

"The previous road has been obscured by trees for many years, and I have found a new one, so I am late, and I ask the leader to punish me!"

"It's okay!" Montenegro waved his hand, "As long as there is a road!" “

"But ........." The visitor hesitated, glanced at the black mountain secretly, and swallowed back the words to his lips.

"If there's a fart, let it go!" Montenegro said impatiently.

"This road is not as thorough as the previous one, and it can only accommodate one person."

"As long as you can pass, take a break now, and lead the way!"

"No!" (To be continued.) )
