The guards of Hangu Pass refused Tongguan's request for help, and the reason was simple.

First of all, the task of the guards of Hangu Pass is only to hold Hangu Pass, and if Tongguan is lost, it has nothing to do with the guards of Hangu Pass.

Secondly, if Hangu Pass is reinforced, and Tongguan is still lost, then what will the remaining defenders of Hangu Pass do to stop the Yizhou army that is holding on to victory?

Finally, and most crucially. If Tongguan is lost, but Hangu Pass has already made preparations and blocked the attack of the Yizhou army, then the defenders of Hangu Pass will have a great credit.

Anyway, no matter what, as long as you don't send troops, although it doesn't mean Baili, at least it is harmless.

It is precisely because of this that the guards of Hangu Pass will make such a decision. It's just that as soon as he decided not to send troops, he began to have an incomparable headache.

Xu Rong was also in Tongguan before, but later I didn't know what kind of considerations the imperial court was in, but when Ma Chaobing Xiliang and Yuan Shao fought a decisive battle, Xu Rong was transferred to Hangu Pass.

At that time, Hangu Pass already had a guard, and the main general could not be removed without explanation, so only Xu Rong was allowed to serve as the deputy general.

Xu Rong didn't have any intention of fighting for power and profit, so he didn't say anything about his deputy, but just conscientiously trained the soldiers who guarded the pass.

And the general of Hangu Pass saw that Xu Rong had no intention of seizing power with him, so he was also very relieved of Xu Rong, and even wanted to take Xu Rong under his command for a while.

This time, the main general also wanted to show his superiority in IQ, and at the same time wanted to show Xu Rong his ability, so he told Xu Rong about his decision. And after Xu Rong listened to the decision of the main general. Naturally, it is resolutely opposed.

However, it is fortunate that the master general did not tell Xu Rong what he thought in his heart. Otherwise, Xu Rong would have to draw his knife and behead the main general first.

It's just that even so, Xu Rong followed the main general all day long, explaining to the main general the benefits of going to Tongguan to rescue. At the same time, he said bitterly, "If you are an official in the court, how can you ignore the love and righteousness of the robe."

"Xu Rong, you and I are loyal ministers of the court, and we should abide by the orders of the court. Now the imperial court has not yet ordered the transfer, if we transfer troops without authorization. Isn't it suspected of rebellion? When the lord saw that Xu Rong was "stubborn", he was heartbroken, and he hated to dig out his loyalty to the court on the spot.

When Xu Rong saw the lord general say this, how could he not understand that the lord general had made up his mind and did not plan to send troops. "Since this is the case, the general will go to Tongguan by himself. There's no suspicion of rebellion, right? ”

At this time, Xu Rong was really angry, and he didn't even call the name and surname of the main general, but directly referred to him as "general". Xu Rong made up his mind at this time: Tongguan, you can't go to Tongguan.

Seeing that Xu Rong was so resolute, the Lord did not obstruct Xu Rong's decision. To be honest, after being paunted by Xu Rong in the past few days, the main general is also extremely tired. This time. The main general also wished that Xu Rong could leave immediately.

"Since General Xu Rong insisted on this, how could General Ben really let the general go to Tongguan alone to go to danger? In this way, General Ben will allocate 500 soldiers to General Xu. Obey General Xu's orders. The lord looked at Xu Rong with an expression of "I want to go too, but I can't help myself".

Xu Rong was disdainful of the main general in his heart, but he finally returned it to five hundred people, so Xu Rong also bowed slightly to the main general, and then turned around and left. Go and take over the five hundred soldiers that the Lord will give.

After the lord saw Xu Rong leave, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. Not long since. I am just like the person in front of me! But then, the general's eyes were clear. Being a military general in the center is not suitable for yourself who is already old after all. Although Xu Rong's age is also quite old.

And just after Xu Rong finally got five hundred soldiers from the hands of the main general, Tongguan was in great danger at this time.

Since the fourth day, Ma Chao has been personally in battle. The soldiers of Yizhou saw that their lords were so desperate, so why should they spare their lives?

After a few days, although Tongguan has not been breached, it is already like a leaf in the autumn wind, crumbling.

Once again, Koji Yi was covered in blood and was helped from the city wall to the camp of Fazheng by his personal guards.

"Mr. Xiaozhi, if there are no reinforcements, we won't be able to hold it tomorrow." Ko Yi looked at Fa Zheng, who was frowning in the camp, and said breathlessly.

Fa Zheng looked at Lu Yi's appearance, and his brows suddenly furrowed even tighter. "General Koji, can't you really hold out for one more day?"

Judging from this time, if the imperial court really gets the news, it will take three days at most, and the imperial court's soldiers and horses will arrive. As long as Lu Yi can hold on for another day, then Fa Zhengliu's back hand can at least consume the Yizhou Army's efforts for two days.

At that time, as soon as the soldiers and horses of the imperial court arrive, Ma Chao's Yizhou army will fall short.

When Koji Yi heard Fa Zheng say this, he immediately grinned bitterly, but this time he accidentally pulled the wound on his body, and suddenly Koji Yi's mouth became even bigger.

Fa Zheng saw that Koji Yi was like this, and he didn't wait for Koji Yi to give an answer, so he understood what Koji Yi wanted to say.

"That's it, if Tongguan is breached, but I still have that hand, what's the use?" Fa Zheng didn't wait for Koji Yi to speak, he took the initiative to speak.

As soon as Lu Yi heard what Fa Zheng said, he immediately forgot about the wounds on his body, and his eyes were shining, tomorrow, he would definitely make the Yizhou army look good.

At this time, Ye Mo had already left Luoyang, and only Dian Wei was with him.

"Lord, since Tongguan is thrilling now, why don't you bring more soldiers?" Dian Wei drove the carriage, with his back to Ye Mo, and his tone was very puzzled.

Ye Mo was leaning in the carriage at this time, his eyes were slightly closed, and he said, "Even if you bring more people, what's the use?" ”

Ye Mo also had a rare understanding of the situation in Tongguan at this time, and then, he was desperate for Tongguan. In that case, how can it still be kept?

As for thinking of an idea to solve the crisis of Tongguan, don't be kidding. At this time, Ye Mo just briefly understood the situation in Tongguan, and felt that if he wanted to relieve Tongguan, it would be a fool's dream.

At this time, Ye Mo didn't even have the heart to use his brain to think about how to break the game. Even the system is not invincible, in this case, how can Ye Mo feel that he can solve the dilemma?

And when Dian Wei heard Ye Mo say this, his eyes flashed with light, and he secretly said in his heart: "The lord is the lord, as long as there is a plan, the Yizhou army outside Tongguan will be destroyed." ”

Thinking of this, Dian Wei couldn't help but feel a burst of enthusiasm, and even the speed of catching up with the car was a lot faster. (To be continued)
