In the defense battle of Jinyang City, with the cooperation of Sima Yi and Guo Huai, it took almost no much effort to easily defuse the menacing attack of the Hanoi army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but in Huguan, the guard Hao Zhao has not closed his eyes for several days.

If it was just Yuan Shaojun who had come all the way, then with the steep terrain of Huguan and the towering wall, Hao Zhao would never feel too much pressure. However, what Huguan is facing now is a terrible situation of being caught between the front and back and catching fire on both sides.

The young Hao Zhao, although he was born in a strong place, but when he was appointed by Han Jun as the chief general of Huguan, he still encountered strong opposition, on the one hand, because of his age, on the other hand, because his previous reputation was not obvious, and the position of Huguan was so important, everyone was worried that Hao Zhao could not bear this heavy burden.

Hao Zhao, who was not good at words, silently kept in mind Han Jun's strength to support him and the doubts and worries of the ministers of Bingzhou. Zhao Kuo, who talked on paper, said beautifully, but in the end he became a laughing stock for the ages. Hao Zhao doesn't like to talk too much, he will only repay Han Jun's trust in him with his actions.

After arriving at Huguan, Hao Zhao almost didn't let himself be idle for several years, and Huguan, which was originally rock-solid, has completely become like a moat under his continuous reinforcement and heightening, blocking the ambitious Yuan Shao's footsteps.

Historically, Hao Zhao was able to stubbornly resist the day and night attack of Zhuge Liang's hundreds of thousands of troops with only more than 1,000 troops, and for more than 20 days, Chen Cang has always stood tall, which shows Hao Zhao's skills.

Today's Huguan is higher, wider, and more precipitous, and there is enough grain and grass in the pass, so if only Yuan Shao attacks the enemy all the way, Hao Zhao is confident that Huguan will become a nightmare that Yuan Shao will not be able to cross in his life. However, the unexpected loss of Keiguan not only made the people in the hinterland of Bingzhou panic, but also put Hao Zhao under more than double the pressure.

Fortunately, when Hao Zhao strengthened the defenses of the pass, he did not neglect the repair of the pass, and Hou Cheng only brought more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, which was difficult to pose a substantial threat to the defenders in the pass, and at most could only play a role in harassment and auxiliaries.

Yuan Shaojun's big tent in front of the pass is gorgeous and magnificent. Yuan Shao, who was in golden armor, sat in the middle of the big tent, his face was extremely gray, his eyebrows showed a manic murderous aura, and his hands were pressed vigorously on several cases, and a fool could see that his old man was in a very bad mood at this time.

"It's been three days! In three days, not an inch of work has been made, and money and food have been wasted! You all talk about it on weekdays, as if you can do anything, why are you helpless and shrinking your head now? A mere pot pass, but it blocked my army of 50,000 for three days, do you know how much food was spent in these three days? Do you know that Han Jun's thief's reinforcements are on their way from all directions? ”

Yuan Shao roared and patted a few cases, his face was red, his beard was all open, and he looked like he could explode at any time.

The civil and military ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to stand up at this time to remind Yuan Shao that Huguan is one of the few Xiongguan in the world, and it is by no means a mere Huguan.

"Jiang Qi, Han Meng, I'll give you two 10,000 elites. Before dark, if you can't open and close the door, come and see you! ”

No one dared to stand up and take the initiative to ask for help, Yuan Shao could only order the generals himself, Huo Ran stood up, took a deep breath and continued: "Order the whole army, the first warriors will be the marquis and pay homage to the generals, and I will never allow the gold and silver to ask for it." Those who take down Hao Zhao's head will be promoted to three levels, given 100 acres of fertile land, and 100 slaves! ”

First slap and then a sweet date. After all, Yuan Shao is also a heroic man, if he doesn't have a little bit of skill, it is impossible to feed more than 100,000 soldiers and horses with only half of Jizhou.

Jiang Qi and Han Meng glanced at each other, and gave up their spirits to lead the order: "I am willing to go to the soup for the lord and never give up!" ”

Guo Tu blinked his small eyes, and waited until everyone left the tent, then he stood up unhurriedly and leaned over to Yuan Shao's side and whispered: "Lord, Tu has a plan, or you can easily enter the main pot without a single sword." ”

Yuan Shao glared at Guo Tu and frowned, "Then why didn't you say it just now!" ”

Guo Tu cautiously glanced out, and said: "There are many people, it is inevitable that there will be leaks, at the critical moment, Tu can only be cautious and careful, and I hope the lord will forgive me!" ”

Yuan Shao waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "Say it." ”

Guo Tu coughed lightly and said, "Hao Zhao, the general of the Huguan guard, was born and strong in the state. As far as I know, the vast majority of local tycoons in the state are respectful to Han Jun on the surface, but they hate that thief in private. Why didn't the lord send a man who could speak well to lobby Hao Zhao into the city, know the benefits and disadvantages, and promise the benefits, plus the lord's prestige spread all over the world, and benevolence and righteousness spread all over the world, then Hao Zhao may not be able to raise the city to surrender! ”

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he was obviously very confident in his prestige, and nodded heavily: "The public rule is very good, so how about you go?" ”

"Huh?"

Guo Tu was dumbfounded, he wanted to nod but was afraid of death, he shook his head and was even more afraid of death, so he could only kneel on the ground and say: "Tu is full of sincerity to the lord, loyal to the liver and courage, and is willing to be born and die for the lord, even if he is not afraid of the sword and axe." However, my lord, please forgive me for being tongue-in-cheek......"

"Bastard!"

Yuan Shao didn't wait for Guo Tu to finish speaking, he raised his foot and kicked him to the ground, and scolded angrily: "It's just greed for life and fear of death, just say it, don't find those reasons to fool me with those glances!" ”

Guo Tu defended with an aggrieved face: "Guo Tu is by no means a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but Guo Tu's death is not a pity, and it is difficult to escape the blame for the death of the lord if he misses the major affairs of the lord!" ”

Yuan Shao said irritably: "Then do you think that who will not be wrong?" ”

Guo Tu immediately replied: "Feng Yuantu is eloquent, courageous and resolute, and he is the best candidate for this trip!" ”

Yuan Shao frowned and said, "I naturally know that Yuantu is a great talent, but this trip is dangerous, I can't bear it!" ”

Guo Tu didn't dare to speak anymore, he still had this bit of eyesight after all. If he was too eager, Yuan Shao would definitely doubt his intentions.

Yuan Shao's old problem of being resourceful and unruly showed itself again at this moment, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally didn't make up his mind, and sighed: "Let's look at Jiang Qi and Han Meng's performance today!" ”

Standing on the steep rocks, looking at the towering wall, Jiang Qi had some regret in his heart, regretting that he had listened to Guo Tu's instigation and turned his back on Han and joined Yuan. He had imagined more than once what he would have accomplished today if he had made another choice. However, there has never been a regret medicine in this world, and Jiang Qi can only grit his teeth and force himself to look forward.

Like Jiang Qi, Han Meng was also an old minister of the Han family, but he was also the first hero of Yuan Shaobing's bloodless victory over Yecheng. The reason why Yuan Shao picked out the two of them among the generals and entrusted them with important tasks was that they had no way out. Anyone could surrender to Han Jun, but it was absolutely impossible for these two. Because in Han Jun's mind, they have been branded as "two rebel generals".

Yuan Shao knew this very well, and Jiang and Han also knew it, so they could only grit their teeth and gnaw on the "turtle shell" of Huguan to see the sun tomorrow. Although Yuan Shao is not a cruel and murderous master, he has always been like a mountain.

"The well fence is forward, the crashing car is forward, everyone is ready to fight!"

Jiang Qi took a deep breath and spoke loudly, his voice full of tragedy and grandeur of "if you don't break Loulan, you won't return it".

"Brother Yiqu, you are in charge of the rear command, and I will personally lead people forward!"

Han Meng took off his heavy armor, revealing a body of well-defined tendon flesh, holding a mountain-opening axe in his right hand, and a ring-headed knife tied with a strip of cloth in his left hand, he took two steps forward in a sullen voice, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Brothers, look up at the sun in the sky, it is so high and so fierce, those turtles in the city with shrunken heads who will definitely stab can't open their eyes!" So, don't be afraid, it's a man, follow me forward! The lord said, whoever is the first to rush to the city, my old Han will see him in the future, and he will shout 'general' respectfully! ”

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men!

Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, and in the same way, there is no one who does not dream of being a marquis and worshipping a general when he ties his head to the waistband of his pants. On the battlefield, the more people who are afraid of death, the faster they will die, and this truth is understood by all soldiers. Therefore, after Han Meng rushed out with his axe and knife first, countless Jizhou soldiers who shouted to give him courage also rushed towards Huguan like a huge wave.

Behind them, there were ironclad crash trucks and well-railings moving slowly, and the archers on the railings were ready for battle.

As Han Meng said, today's sunshine has given the Jizhou soldiers a lot of help, and the archers at this time will naturally not be equipped with cutting-edge equipment such as goggles, and shoot arrows in the sun, not to mention how accurate the head is, but their eyes can't stand it at all.

Hao Zhao keenly felt that the momentum of today's Jizhou soldiers had changed significantly from the previous two days, and it was no longer that kind of programmed attack, but a more active and ferocious impact.

Holding the battlements with both hands, the corners of Hao Zhao's mouth outlined a strange smile. If Yuan Shao only thought that this was enough to break through the pot pass, then it could only be said that he was too naïve. If Hao Zhao has a lot of ability, he only exerted less than a little strength in the first two days.

"Prepare the rocket, fierce fire oil!"

The preparations of the defenders, everything seemed calm, although the enemy army seemed to be very imposing, but from their eyes, there was no change in mood. This is also due to Hao Zhao's strict training on weekdays, so that most of the defenders have developed a mentality of not changing their colors.
