Chapter 133: Sending troops again
Xi Zhicai went to Xiliang to implement a counter-plan, and Ye Mo naturally couldn't stay in Luoyang and wait for news from Xi Zhicai. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.] Even if the drama is talented, but if you don't recognize it and cooperate a little, it will be in vain.
On the second day, the content of the court meeting was naturally about the defeat of Hangu Pass. This matter is related to the national fortunes of the Han Dynasty and cannot be treated with caution.
"Ladies and gentlemen, who can recapture Hangu Pass for me?" Liu Xie looked at the civil and military officials in the court and spoke.
Those military attaches in the court didn't dare to stand up at the beginning, but now that the two old generals have lost one game first, how dare they stand up? It's just that this time it's different from before, Lu Bu is back. Therefore, all the military attaches focused their attention on Lu Bu.
And Lu Bu also lived up to expectations. Originally, Lu Bu also wanted to give other people a chance to make meritorious contributions, it is always bad for his teacher to eat alone, but after waiting for a long time, he couldn't see anyone stand up, Lu Bu finally couldn't help it, and stood up and said: "The last general is willing to share his worries for His Majesty and recapture Hangu Pass." ”
"Good! It is worthy of being a loyal monarch and a general. When the general triumphs, I will definitely reward Lu Aiqing greatly. Liu Xie's heart is also on fire, those generals eat the king's Lu, but they are all straw bales. At this time, Lu Bu stood up, and Liu Xie immediately wanted to give Lu Bu another promotion.
When the other generals heard Liu Xie say that they would give Lu Bu another official position of one or two grades when he came back, they immediately regretted it in their hearts: If they can stand up, wouldn't they say that they can also be promoted? It's just that they didn't think about it, even if they stood up and had the ability to recapture Hangu Pass, would they have soldiers in their hands?
That's right, now the Han Dynasty is almost without soldiers. If it is said that there are soldiers, in addition to the guards guarding Luoyang, there are still three captains left in Xiyuan who have not moved. One is the one that is still in Beijing with Bao Hong, the captain of the Tun cavalry, and the other is the one under the commander of Zhao Rong, the left captain of the auxiliary army. Finally, there is Xiao Huangmen, who did not touch him when he swept away the eunuchs because he controlled the military power.
"Your Majesty, the two old generals were just careless, so they were exploited by the defenders of Hangu Pass, why not let the two old generals lead the army to fight again?" At this moment, Ye Mo stood up and asked the two veterans to fight.
Liu Xie was very happy to see Ye Mo stand up, after all, Ye Mo was directly promoted from the status of a civilian to the third prince. But Ye Mo's words made Liu Xie very embarrassed, the two veterans fought before, and the 20,000 army was almost wiped out. Is it really possible to let the two veterans play now?
When the military attaches heard Ye Mo's recommendation of the two veterans, they also responded. In their opinion, the two veterans are old, even if they are promoted to generals? But Lu Bu is different, Lu Bu is in the prime of life at this time, if Lu Bu is pressed on their heads, will there be a day to emerge?
"I can't do it, I can't help it." The two veterans ignored the coaxing of everyone, waved their hands at Ye Mo again and again, and seeing that it didn't work, the two veterans knelt down in front of Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, you can't do it." The two of us were defeated first, and if we were the main generals again, I was afraid that I would not be able to convince the soldiers. ”
Liu Xie listened to the words of these two veterans, and he also felt that there was some truth. At this time, Ye Mo stood up and said: "Meng Ming of the Qin State, defeated the Jin twice, and in the third battle, the Jihe River burned the boat, so as to win the first victory of the Qin State in the Jin and Qin hegemony." Now, the two veterans will not dare to fight again if they lose one game, and even the ancients are not as good as evil? ”
Ye Mo's words suddenly woke up the two old generals, but for generals, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, how can it be because of a defeat and a lack of relief.
"Thank you, Captain, for your advice." The two of them first thanked Ye Mo, and then said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, the two of us are willing to lead our troops to Hangu Pass again." If you don't take the pass, you will not return. ”
Liu Xie looked at the two veteran generals, it was rare that the two veteran generals could still recover their fighting spirit, if he did not allow it at this time, I am afraid that the pride and ambition of the two veteran generals who had just recovered would dissipate immediately. It's just that Fang has already promised Lu Bu, how can he promise the two old generals again?
At this time, Ye Mo saw that Liu Xie couldn't make up his mind for a long time, and his eyes always wandered on the two veterans and Lu Bu. Immediately, Ye Mo understood that Liu Xie was hesitating about something, so he secretly glanced at Lu Bu.
When Lu Bu saw Ye Mo secretly glaring at him, he immediately understood, so he said to Liu Xie again: "Your Majesty, the two old generals are loyal, how can they not be complete?" Moreover, Bu had just withdrawn from Bingzhou, and the army was overwhelmed; Second, the two veteran generals were also more familiar with the situation at Hangu Pass than Bu. ”
Previously, Liu Xie also had the intention of letting the two old generals recapture Hangu Pass, he himself was not very interested in Lu Bu, and the previous reward was mostly Ye Que's idea. At this time, Lu Bu was able to take the initiative to withdraw, which made Liu Xie have a lot of good feelings towards Lu Bu. "In that case, then I will hand over the Xiyuan Army to the two old generals."
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were very excited when they heard that Liu Xie asked them to continue to fight Hangu Pass. How often do they regret their previous expressions? It's just that at this age, I thought that there was no chance of shame, but I didn't expect Ye Mo to win this opportunity for them to be ashamed.
When the matter is discussed, there is nothing important. After retreating from the dynasty, the two old generals hurriedly went to Xiyuan to transfer people, but Ye Mo pulled Lu Bu aside.
"Lord Taiwei, I don't know what is the matter with finding cloth?" Now that Ye Mo is an official and a lieutenant, he is Lu Bu's top boss, and Lu Bu naturally doesn't dare to make a mistake, but it seems that Lu Bu didn't make a mistake when Ye Mo was not an official before.
"General Lu, Mo borrowed someone from you." Ye Mo looked at Lu Bu, no matter what Lu Bu called himself, he directly said his purpose.
Lu Bu was stunned, Ye Mo borrowed someone by himself? "Gao Shun?" Without going through his brain, Lu Bu blurted out a name. In his cognition, it seems that no one in the state army except Gao Shun has entered Ye Mo's eyes.
"Yes, it's General Gao Shun." Ye Mo didn't hide it, and admitted it directly.
Lu Bu hesitated now, borrowing Gao Shun is nothing more than borrowing the camp, but now there are only more than 100 people left in the camp, if he goes to Hanguguan to fight again, the seeds of the camp are gone. "Lord Taiwei wants the trapped camp to attack Hangu Pass?"
"That's right, if you don't fall into the camp, you will give the two old generals another 100,000 people, and you won't be able to take Hangu." It's not that Ye Mo looks down on Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, but because of Fa Zheng. This person is a very difficult opponent to deal with.
Lu Bu didn't want to lend Gao Shun to Ye Mo, but after thinking about it for a moment and considering the pros and cons, Lu Bu nodded and agreed. It's just that after this battle, the world still doesn't know if there is a trapped camp. Just like the battle in Jinyang, there is no white horse in the world.
"General Lu, don't worry, Mo will definitely return a full camp to the general." Looking at the undisguised pain on Lu Bu's face, Ye Mo suddenly understood why Lu Bu hesitated and refused to make up his mind. It's just that even if Lu Bu desperately trapped the camp and annihilated the whole army, he handed over these more than 100 people to him, which made Ye Mo is moved.
On the second day, after the two old generals left with more than 10,000 people from the West Garden, the army was also assembled in the camp in the west of the city.
"Gao Shun, these thousand people are handed over to you, before they rush to Hangu Pass, can they form combat power?" Ye Mo stood on the platform and asked loudly to Gao Shun below.
Gao Shun came to the camp in the west of the city the day before, and as soon as he came to the camp, he coveted the thousand long swordsmen, which was a good foundation for trapping the camp. Among these people, five hundred have been training for more than a month, so they have also reached level three or above, or even level four, can they not be tough? You must know that the two hundred and first-level scout cavalry killed more than 100 Hu people, but they did not lose a single bit.
Gao Shun looked at these long swordsmen behind him, and thought that as long as he kept exercising his formation during the march, there would be no problem at all in going to the battlefield. "Lord Taiwei, rest assured, before rushing to Hangu Pass, Gao Shun will definitely train a trapping camp."
Gao Shun was relieved, and he went under Koji Yina. After Koji Yi came back, he directly asked those longbowmen to change to crossbows and train with his first dead soldiers, and after the longbowmen were upgraded to crossbowmen, their combat effectiveness skyrocketed. It's just that, in the face of elite spear throwers, Koji Yi didn't know how to start. But it's okay, let's train all the way.
"Gao Shun and Koji Yi listen to the order, and the army sets off!" With that, Ye Mo rode on the horse that had been prepared a long time ago, and took Ye Zhen, Ye Hua, and Ye San to take the lead. Behind him, Gao Shun led more than 1,100 people, and Ko Yi led nearly 1,500 people. These people are the main force behind Ye Mo to take Hangu Pass. xh118
