Hearing the news that the cavalryman had brought back, everyone took a big breath. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.] I can't imagine that two old generals, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, took the five colonels of the Northern Army to recapture Hangu Pass, and they would actually encounter failure. You know, which of these two old generals is not a person who has experienced a hundred battles, but they will even fall for the treacherous tricks of the defenders, so is it possible for the others to recapture Hangu Pass?

At this time, the joy of Lu Bu's triumph had disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a deep worry on their faces.

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead a large army to recapture Hangu Pass." At this time, Lu Bu, who was standing in front of Baiguan, suddenly knelt down at Liu Xie and said.

When everyone heard this, they were immediately overjoyed: Why did you forget General Lu? General Lu was able to defeat 120,000 Hu cavalry, and had previously defeated 200,000 Dong Zhuo's coalition army, so why was it difficult to recapture a Hangu Pass at this time?

Just after Liu Xiezheng was about to agree to Lu Bu's request to go to battle, Ye Mo on the side preemptively said: "General Lu will lead five hundred cavalry to pick up the two old generals to return." As for the matter of seizing the pass, we will wait for the two old generals to come back before making a final decision. ”

When Liu Xie heard Ye Mo say this, what he was about to say was swallowed back raw, and he just nodded at Lu Bu. That Lu Bu was not why Ye Mo would stand behind Liu Xie, but seeing Liu Xie's nodding, coupled with his trust in Ye Mo, he immediately ordered five hundred wolf horses and headed towards Hangu Pass.

"Lord Taiwei, why don't you let General Lu lead a large army to recapture Hangu Pass?" After seeing Lu Bu leave, Prince Wang Yun, the secretary of the Lu Shang Shu behind Liu Xie, asked. In his opinion, Lü Bu had the courage of ten thousand people, and the state army won two major battles in a row, and with the momentum of a big victory, he would definitely be able to recapture Hangu Pass.

Wang Yun, Ye Mo really admires this person, although this person uses a woman to make plans, which is shameful for many people in later generations. However, judging from the situation at that time, apart from Wang Yun, who else dared to use tricks against Dong Zhuo?

"It turned out to be Lord Wang, General Lu led the Bingzhou army to return to Luoyang, the army is sleepy and tired, how can they fight again? Besides, even if General Lu led the Bingzhou army to fight again, who can guarantee that it will not fall for the enemy's tricks again? At this time, even the guards of Hangu Pass didn't know, so how could they talk about recapturing Hangu Pass? Ye Mo looked at Wang Yun and patiently explained.

Wang Yun didn't feel anything after hearing Ye Mo's words. After all, Ye Mo was suddenly appointed as one of the three princes, the Tai Lieutenant, in charge of all Yankuai affairs, which made many ministers in the court complain. It's just that Liu Xie supported it, and with Ye Que, the stubborn Situ Cun, everyone could only slander in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it.

"General Wuguan Lu's Bingzhou army has strict military discipline and high morale. At this time, to seize Hangu Pass, isn't it just a big victory, but you can fight down? Besides, if Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao have famous generals under their accounts, why would they suffer a big defeat under the Tiger Prison? Lord Taiwei previously proposed to recapture Hangu Pass as much as possible, but at this time, he dragged it out, I'm afraid he has ulterior motives, right? Wang Yun looked at Ye Mo, but he didn't mean to look at his boss at all, but continued to ridicule in his words.

Although Ye Mo admired Wang Yun a little, it did not mean that he would always tolerate Wang Yun's presumptuousness here. His previous explanation was clear, but Wang Yun was still unyielding, isn't this vexatious? "Then according to Lord Wang's meaning, General Huangfu Song and General Zhu Jun are all incompetent people in vain?"

When Wang Yun heard Ye Mo say this, he was immediately choked and speechless. He only cared about losing Ye Mo's face, so he kept saying that the people who guarded Hangu Pass were incompetent people, but he forgot that the two veterans had tasted defeat in Hangu Pass first.

"That's enough, let's go back first. The long journey of the army is also hard. Even if I and Aiqing don't need to rest, this army always needs to rest. Seeing the two arguing here, Liu Xie spoke.

As soon as Liu Xie's words came out, who would dare to be presumptuous? So, a group of people followed Liu Xie back to the palace, since the people who sent back the military information have arrived, then presumably the defeated army will not be far away, plus Lu Bu went to answer, it is estimated that the two veterans will be able to come back in the evening of the same day.

The ministers waited in the chamber, and naturally someone would bring their meals. In the chamber, the ministers are clearly in circles. It's just that Yuan Huai, who used to be surrounded by hundreds of officials like stars and moons, is now a cold and lonely person, and can only sigh that the world is cold.

"Lord Yuan, how about eating together?" Ye Mo looked at Yuan Huai alone, walked up to him and said.

Yuan Huai was shocked when he saw someone talking to him. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Yi, three members of the Yuan family, participated in Dong Zhuo's alliance, and even some of them participated. Now that hundreds of officials avoid themselves like a plague, but at this time, someone is talking to them, are they not afraid that they will be implicated?

Yuan Huai raised his head, but found that it was the newly promoted Taiwei Ye Mo, and immediately got up and saluted, and said: "Now that the Huai Dynasty is not in danger, if Lord Taiwei wants to invite people to eat together, there will be a large number of people." Why do you need to come to Huai, wouldn't it be beautiful to be implicated at that time? ”

Yuan Huai really hated the Ye family before, because Ye Que, a crippled person, took away his position as Situ. But now, he can't hate it, or he doesn't have that qualification. The rebellion of Yuan Shao and other people of the Yuan family, someone in the court had already proposed to kill him to coerce Yuan Shao and others. If it weren't for Ye Que's strong opposition, Yuan Huai's several heads would have been cut off long ago. What right does a person who depends on others for his life have to resent it?

Seeing Yuan Huai like this, Ye Mo also smiled bitterly and muttered: "As soon as people leave, the tea will be cold." Since the tea is already cold, why does Lord Yuan have to hold it and hold it? ”

When Yuan Huai heard Ye Mo's whisper, he was stunned for a moment and suddenly woke up. Yes, the tea is cold, just pour a new cup of tea, why do you need to hold a cup of cold tea and be secretly distressed? "Thank you, Captain, for your advice." Yuan Huai stood up and bowed respectfully to Ye Mo.

Ye Mo calmly accepted Yuan Huai's salute, and then invited Yuan Huai to eat with him and Ye Que. Of course, Cao Cao is also there, because Cao Cao, the prime minister, is directly Ye Que's subordinate and is dispatched by Ye Que.

In the evening, Lu Bu came back, taking Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Ye Hua and more than 100 defeated soldiers. That's right, there are only a hundred defeated soldiers left, and the rest are either killed or captured.

After the two veterans saw Ye Mo in the court, they walked directly in front of Ye Mo, made a big salute, and cried bitterly: "I regret that I didn't listen to Mr. at the beginning, and I was defeated in Hanguguan." ”

How dare Ye Mo accept the gifts of these two veterans, but he is only one person, how can he help the two veterans, and in the end, he has no choice but to accept the gifts of these two veterans.

"Two generals, please tell me about the battle situation in Hangu Pass, and we can make a decision." Looking at the two veterans, Ye Mo could only say helplessly.

When the two veterans heard Ye Mo say this, they immediately knelt down in the court, and looked at Liu Xie's slow battle situation in Hangu Pass.

It turned out that the two veterans had a disagreement with Ye Hua before they arrived at Hangu Pass. Ye Hua thought that he could take advantage of the fact that the guards of Hangu Pass did not know their news, and he could march in a hurry and hit Hangu Pass by surprise. It's just that Huangfu Song thinks that the defenders of Hangu Pass are waiting for work, and if they march in a hurry, how can they still exert their full combat power, so he rejected Ye Hua's opinion, but thought that Ye Hua was just a son of a family.

Later, because of Huangfu Song's decision to rest first, the defenders of Hangu Pass were prepared. On the second day, the army fought with the defenders of Hangu Pass, and Ye Hua applied to fight. It's just that the two old generals thought that Ye Hua was just a son of a family who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, so they didn't approve it, but let the generals of the five schools of the Northern Army go to fight the generals, but they were all killed by the enemy generals. The morale of the army fell, and the two veterans directly ordered the army to attack the city, but the morale fell, and the defenders had already taken precautions, so they just left a corpse on the ground.

The siege failed, and the morale of the army fell again. The two veterans decided to camp in place and stalemate with Hangu Pass, but every night, the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass would send people to beat gongs and drums outside the barracks, but they never attacked, but they also kept the army from resting. Ye Hua wanted the two veterans to retreat again at this time, but they were rejected by the two veterans again. For two days in a row, the army could not rest, so it could not attack the city, but could only stalemate.

On the third day, after waiting until midnight, the defenders still did not move, and the army did not dare to rest, and the night was fine. On the fourth day, it was still the same, the army could not support it, and when dawn broke, the defenders of Hangu Pass suddenly attacked back and forth, killing the army and defeating it. It turned out that the defenders of Hangu Pass beat gongs and drums a few days ago, but they were just sending people outside the pass. And the two old generals also broke out of the encirclement of the defenders of Hangu Pass under the desperate protection of Ye Hua, and barely picked up a life.

"Do the two old generals know who the defenders of Hangu Pass are?" After listening to what the two veterans said, Ye Mo asked.

The two veterans listened to Ye Mo's question, and they didn't dare to put on any score at this time, and after thinking for a while, Zhu Jun said: "The guard general of Hangu Pass seems to be a general named Duan Xuan. ”

"Duan Xuan? Duan simmering? Ye Mo listened to this name, the memory in his mind flew quickly, and after a while, Ye Mo said: "If there is this person alone, he will definitely not be able to come up with such a plan." What other strategists are there around this person? ”

"Strategist? By the way, this man was accompanied by a young man who was no more than twenty years old. Huangfu Song heard Ye Mo ask again, thought for a while, and then suddenly said.

"Not more than twenty years old, sir, could this be Wei Zhongdao?" Lu Bu on the side heard Huangfu Song say that Duan Xuan was followed by a strategist who was less than twenty, and immediately thought of Wei Zhongdao.

"It's not Wei Zhongdao, there is news that Wei Chongdao went to Tianshui with Yuan Shao's army at this time. Old General Huangfu, have you ever heard the defenders call this young strategist? After Ye Mo denied that this person was Wei Zhongdao, he then asked Huangfu Song.

Huangfu Song thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't remember the person's full name: "What does that person seem to be called...... Law or something? What is the law? Huangfu Song scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time, but he couldn't remember the name.

"Is it the law is correct and the law is filial?"

"yes, that's the name." When Huangfu Song heard Ye Mo say the name "Fazheng", he immediately remembered that it was this person.

"That's it, this person is at least a second-rate peak strategist now." Ye Mo muttered, at this time, it was rude, I really didn't blame the two old generals, but the enemy was too cunning. xh118
