Duan Xuan, now with more than 20,000 people, occupies the choke point between Chang'an and Luoyang, Tongguan and Hangu Pass. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Duan Xuan was Dong Zhuo's general at the earliest, and followed Dong Zhuo to fight in the south and the north, and finally after Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, Duan Xuan led his troops to be stationed at Hangu Pass under Dong Zhuo's orders.

Although Duan Xuan was born in Dong Jun, Duan Xuan was not the same as the rest of Dong Zhuo's generals. Although Duan Xuan was suspicious by nature, when Duan Xuan was stationed at Hangu Pass, he was strict with himself and never oppressed the people.

Later, Dong Zhuo was defeated, Liu Xie moved west, and Li Wei Guo Yan knew that the soldiers of Hangu Pass and Tongguan loved Duan Xuan very much, and the people in the surrounding areas also respected Duan Xuan, so Duan Xuan continued to guard Hangu Pass and Tongguan.

In history, Li Dao and Guo Yan attacked each other in Chang'an for several months, and Liu Xie was dragged around as a hostage, so Liu Xie proposed to move back to the old capital Luoyang.

When Liu Xie walked to Duan Xuan's territory, Duan Xuan wanted Liu Xie to live in his military camp with a grand etiquette. However, Duan Xuan and Yang Ding, who escorted Liu Xie, were a little estranged. Yang Ding said that Duan Xuan wanted to rebel. After a heated discussion, Liu Xie still did not go to Duan Xuan's military camp, but Yang Ding led the army to fight Duan Xuan for more than ten days and did not take Duan Xuan, and Duan Xuan still provided Liu Xie's meals as usual and served hundreds of officials.

Although Cao De is not clear about this history, when Cao De and Chen Bing came to Tongguan Pass, the people near Tongguan spontaneously came to help Duan Xuan.

Cao De saw something unusual. Then Cao De put on civilian clothes and went to the surrounding village pavilions to inquire, and finally knew what Duan Xuan was. Therefore, Cao De wrote a letter of persuasion and sent it to Tongguan.

At the beginning, when some of the defenders of Chang'an proposed to take refuge in Duan Xuan in the east, they had only two kinds of thoughts.

First, he just wants to rely on the two Xiongguan in Duan Xuan's hands to occupy a place in this troubled world. The two, even if Duan Xuan will surrender, its price is much higher than just waiting for Cao De to take it in.

When Duan Xuan heard that Chang'an fell into Cao De's pocket, Duan Xuan also had these two thoughts. Moreover, Duan Xuan thought about it, even if he surrendered, he had to let Cao De see the power of the two Xiongguan in his hands first.

However, when Duan Xuan saw Cao Dejun, who was waiting for him like a rainbow, he was scared. Then, when Duan Xuan saw that the people nearby braved the soldiers of Cao De's army and kept sending their own little food to Guanzhong, Duan Xuan collapsed.

At this moment, eleven horsemen came from the camp of Cao Dejun, and the leader of the man bent his bow and arrows, and one of the arrows lost the big flag erected on the wall and nailed it to the pillar behind it.

"The general of the chariot cavalry has the virtue of a good life, and he doesn't want to kill the defenders and the people of Guanxia. I also hope that General Duan will carefully consider it! Driving~"

After the man with the eleventh horseman finished shouting, he turned his horse's head and galloped away.

The defenders immediately pulled out the arrow tied to the letter and hurriedly sent it to Duan Xuan.

In the letter, Cao De pointed out the meaning of Duan Xuan and stated the key points. Tongguan and Hangu Pass are strong, and General Duan can defend them. However, if I lead my troops to Chen Yu Guan, only surround but not fight, and when the grain and grass in the pass are exhausted, will the general still have a way out? I don't want to use my sword in vain to kill. I also forgot that General Duan thought twice before acting.

After Duan Xuan received Cao De's letter of persuasion, he summoned the main generals in Guanzhong. Let's discuss what we should do.

Duan Xuan's current situation is actually very embarrassing. To the north is the Yellow River, to the south is Huashan, to the east is Cao Cao, and to the west is Cao De.

As soon as Duan Xuan took out Cao De's letter of persuasion, one of his generals said, Cao De's tone is too arrogant, let's surrender Cao Cao and don't surrender Cao De.

This is the rhythm that is going to disgust Cao De.

But after the general finished speaking, the other continued, no, don't forget, Cao Cao and Cao De are brothers, let's vote for Cao Cao, Cao De only needs a letter, and we will not be tied up by Cao Cao and sent to Cao De.

At this time, someone proposed that it was a big deal for us to fight with Cao De. The head fell off but there was a big scar in the bowl, and I was afraid that he would do something.

Someone spoke again, General, if there is chaos today, the Son of Heaven is no longer the original Son of Heaven. The princes of all walks of life supported their own armies and fought against each other. Today's Dahan is already the Great Zhou of the year. Among the princes, Cao De and Yuan Shao have the largest power, and the Tongguan and Hangu passes in our hands are our most important bargaining chips. Rather than take refuge in a prince who will be eliminated sooner or later, we should take refuge in a prince who will dominate the world in the future.

The person who said that Cao De was arrogant said again, since this is the case, then why don't we choose Yuan Shao and surrender to Cao De.

Quite simply, Cao De has already occupied Chang'an. It only takes half a day for Cao De's army to be able to stand under Tongguan. And Yuan Shao is a little beyond the reach of the whip.

Duan Xuan listened to it and slapped the table, "The generals will listen to the order, and at noon tomorrow, the switch will surrender to Cao De." If you are unwilling, you can pack up this afternoon and leave! After Duan Xuan finished speaking, he turned his head and left, leaving behind everyone who needed to make a choice.

Under Hangu Pass, Cao Cao's 20,000-strong army had stopped besieging the city ten days earlier. Because Xiahou Yuan, who led the troops, discussed with Xun You, the lord should have found the Son of Heaven, and it would be unwise to attack the city and do more damage. It's better to wait for Cao Cao to bring the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang, and then persuade the soldiers to surrender in the name of the Son of Heaven.

However, just today, Xiahoudun and Xun You, who had been confronting Hangu Pass for more than ten days, suddenly received a report that the big flag on Hangu Pass had been changed and replaced with the "Cao" flag!

Xun You's heart moved, could it be that the lord came back directly from Tongguan Jinghan Valley after receiving the will of heaven. So, Xun You and Xiahou discussed it, and the army came out of the camp again and came to the Hangu Pass, ready to meet Cao Cao, who might appear.

Just when Xiahoudun led the troops to line up in formation, the gate of Hangu Pass opened, and a figure that Xiahoudun felt very familiar with was running towards him on a fast horse.

"Anbang?" Xiahoudun saw the purple-red arrogant armor.

'Anbang, isn't it ......' Xun You, who was beside Xiahoudun, finally knew that the person on the other side was coming after hearing Xiahoudun's self-talk.

Xun Yu stopped Xiahou Dun, who was about to ride forward, "General, today's Cao Anbang is no longer the Cao Anbang of the past. The general must be commensurate with Cao Gong. ”

Xiahou was stunned for a moment, "The last general knows!" ”

The person who came was none other than Cao De, who peacefully occupied Hangu. When Cao De, who entered Tongguan, heard Duan Xuan say that there was an army of Cao Cao outside Hangu Pass, Cao De took Duan Xuan and two thousand cavalry to Hangu Pass.

"Yuan Jean! Haha......"

"The last general will meet Cao Gong!" Xiahoudun's title suddenly made Cao De feel like a fly. Yes, we're already on two camps.

However, Xiahoudun's words after that still made Cao De find the taste of family affection.

When Cao De asked in surprise, why it was not Cao Cao who led the army to attack Hangu Pass, but you Xiahoudun, Cao Decai knew from Xiahoudun's mouth that Cao Cao had gone to attack Chang'an more than half a month ago.

And after Xiahoudun told Cao De that Cao Cao took Wuguan Road, Cao De was in a trance.

It was Cao Cao who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes. However, Cao De thought about it, wouldn't such a troubled world be more exciting.
