Chapter 44: The Vicious Battle Guan Yunchang
The original military captain Cao Ying sent out a letter to Dong Xuanwen, this matter spread all over the country in a short period of time, the four seas shook, and there were countless people who raised flags and shouted, and for a time all over the country rose together, after learning about this matter, Dong Zhuo Lao'er could no longer sit still, fortunately he sent Xu Rong to guard the tiger prison pass, but even so Dong Zhuo was very uneasy in his heart, and the momentum of the princes from all walks of life was too great.
Meng Ge had just returned to Luoyang with his troops and horses, and before he had time to rest for a while, the herald came again, and Meng Ge learned that Hua Xiong had rushed to the Tiger Prison Pass two days ago to assist Xu Rong in meeting the princes, and Dong Zhuo ordered him to set off immediately to the Tiger Prison Pass, and the matter had already been completed.
Meng Ge, who was in a hurry and was dizzy, was eager to kill Dong Zhuo's bastard at this time, he didn't say it early, he knew that he wouldn't rush back in such a hurry, he was originally in the east to suppress bandits, and he rushed on the road overnight, Meng Ge was already tired and half dead, but when he came back, he was told that you could go on the road, and he had to go back, and he had to go back again, and he was going to be a soldier again, and he couldn't hold it anymore, look at the pro-soldiers behind him, all of them were out of breath, how could they still have the strength to hurry, Meng Ge was about to be mad, this Dong Zhuo is really not a thing.
But the current situation is not good, Meng Ge can't care so much, don't want to bring the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, at this time Li Gan and they are still behind, and they are all infantry, and they have been on the road all night, thinking about it, Meng Ge also knows that it is impossible to bring his own people, and there are a thousand bandits, someone has to deal with it, and if it is handed over to Dong Zhuo, they will definitely all die, and Meng Ge does not want this kind of tragedy to happen.
Meng Ge, who was riding on the horse, gasped, and immediately said: "Little dog, you are all waiting on the road, pass on my military order, just say that I will go to the Tiger Prison Pass, let the army rest for a day, a day later Zhou Cang and Li Daniu will come to join me with a song, Li Gan and Tian Mao deal with the bandits, stay in Luoyang, remember to be careful, don't let people catch the handle!" ”
The little dog suddenly became anxious and shouted, "What about you, general, we have to follow you!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense with me, if you dare to disobey military orders, you know what the consequences will be!" Meng Ge doesn't care so much, now is in a hurry, if he goes slower, it will be miserable for Dong Zhuo Lao'er to start a rush.
Thinking that in the past few days, he has always been out to suppress bandits, and he hasn't been there for a long time, Dong Zhuo, this old guy, must be very dissatisfied, otherwise he wouldn't be so tidy, if he is honest at this time, it will not be good.
Before leaving, Meng Ge thought about the family again, and said: "Also, little dog, Ming, you go to my house to inform you, prepare your bags, carriages and horses, and let them be ready to leave Luoyang at any time!" ”
The little dog saw that Meng Ge had made up his mind, and had no choice but to do what Meng Ge had ordered, watching Meng Ge change his horse and go to the east of the Tiger Prison, Meng Ge was also a last resort, otherwise how could he not bring his own people, and what was even worse was that he was afraid that Hua Xiong would be cut by the second brother Guan, although Hua Xiong was a little confused, but he was his own good brother, if he didn't have to mix so well, Hua Xiong would definitely not feel good if he really died.
Meng Ge kept rushing towards the Tiger Prison Pass, Dong Zhuo was also in full swing to dispatch troops, some time ago Dong Zhuo sent out his subordinates to guard various key roads, but he didn't expect the Kwantung princes to take advantage of the situation at this time.
Dong Zhuo, who noticed that something was wrong, transferred troops overnight in an attempt to strengthen the defense of Tiger Pass, Xu Rong only had 20,000 soldiers and horses, and he couldn't stop it for long, so Dong Zhuo could only strengthen his troops first.
At this time, Cao Ying was really high-spirited, a request for Dong Yuwen, the princes of the Eighteen Roads echoed each other, and led people to come to help, how could he not be happy, his heart said that the Han Society was hopeful, but unfortunately he was destined to be disappointed, the idea of the princes of the Eighteen Roads was very simple, nothing more than to take advantage of this opportunity to gain some fame and fortune.
Not to mention what the princes of all walks of life were thinking, Meng Ge didn't close his eyes all night, and during the day he forced his horse to chase after Hua Xiong's army, even if it was iron, he couldn't hold it, and finally had to stop and rest after a day's journey, so Meng Ge rushed to Xingyang.
Tiger Prison Pass is located west of Xingyang, in fact, Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass are the same pass, not two checkpoints, just because the Tiger Prison is in the west of Bishui, Meng Ge went to Xingyang to see Xu Rong, but learned that Hua Xiong This guy is no longer in Xingyang, but went to Tiger Prison Pass, angry Meng Ge jumped straight to his feet, what is this guy running so fast, rushing to reincarnate.
Looking at Meng Ge's hair scratching, Xu Rong, who was standing on the side, suddenly asked puzzledly: "Captain Meng, is there anything wrong with this, General Hua guards the Tiger Pass, and I echo it in Xingyang, as long as I hold the Xiong Pass, I will wait for the opportunity to move, so that it will be difficult for the enemy army to cross our defense area, why don't you think so, is there a better way for Captain Meng?" ”
As soon as he heard Xu Rong's words, Meng Ge suddenly knew that he had lost his temper, although Xu Rong seemed to be humbly asking for advice, but Meng Ge heard another meaning from his words, he was dissatisfied, he clearly questioned his decision, and it was strange that he could be happy.
At that moment, Meng Ge hurriedly said humbly: "Of course, General Xu's arrangement is no problem, but General Hua may not be able to do what General Xu said, with my understanding of General Hua, the Kwantung princes are coming, and General Hua is bound to go out to meet the battle, so as to frustrate the enemy's spirit, so I'm afraid it will be troublesome!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Rong was drenched in a cold sweat, and Meng Ge's words reminded him that Hua Xiong is not a person who can guard the customs in peace, even if he only sends Zhao Cen and Hu Zhen to go, but if Hua Xiong goes, I'm afraid it will be a big problem.
Suddenly, Pegasus came outside the door to report: "Report, general, it's not good, Sun Jian led his troops to attack the Tiger Prison Pass yesterday!" General Hua attacked Sun Jian's camp last night and broke Sun Jian! ”
"What?" Xu Rong didn't turn a corner for a while, why did he win a big victory in just one day, Hua Xiong really led the troops to attack, and Meng Ge didn't expect it to be bad at all.
Although he won, but Xu Rong has a bad premonition, as the saying goes, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, although Hua Xiong won a battle first, but then it was troublesome, with Hua Xiong's arrogant surname, he is bound to lead his troops to meet the coalition army, but the coalition army is large, and the soldiers are wide, and I am afraid that Hua Xiong is not an opponent at that time.
Thinking of this, Xu Rong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately said, "Meng Ge! ”
"The last general!" Meng Ge hurriedly replied, he knew that with Xu Rong's prudence, he must have thought of the consequences of the big victory, although Sun Jian was broken, but the foundation of the coalition army was not damaged, if Hua Xiong easily challenged him, I am afraid that he would be in trouble at that time.
I saw Xu Rong take out an order arrow, and said lightly: "You take my general order, go to the Tiger Prison Pass immediately, and let Hua Xiong not send troops to challenge the princes, if he dares not to listen, the military law will deal with it!" ”
"The last general obeys!" Before he had time to take a breath, Meng Ge took the general's order, and hurried to the Tiger Prison Pass non-stop, what he was afraid of was that Hua Xiong had already gone out of the customs to meet the battle at this time, so it would be troublesome, Second Brother Guan was still waiting for him.
Riding wild for dozens of miles, Meng Ge was anxious at the moment, dozens of miles passed in a blink of an eye, Meng Ge finally came to the back village of the Tiger Prison Pass, and the soldiers guarding the pass saw that it was Xu Rongjun's order, and hurriedly opened the door to greet him, not daring to have the slightest slack.
Zhao Cen, the left-behind guard, hurriedly came out to greet him, and said with a smile: "General Meng, why are you here?" I wonder what the Metropolitan commands? ”
Only seeing Zhao Cen come out, Meng Ge knew that something was wrong, Hua Xiong was going to fight, and said hurriedly: "Where is General Hua?" ”
"Well, General Hua has just gone out of the customs to fight!" Zhao Cen dared to hide it, and directly spit out the truth.
"Hey!" Meng Ge sighed helplessly, this guy still went, and said immediately: "General Zhao, please be sure to guard the Tiger Pass, I will pass the general's order, and receive the army at any time, do you understand?" ”
"Yes!" Zhao Cen hurriedly responded, and Huaxiong was in trouble this time.
Disobeying the general's order and going out to meet the battle without authorization, it is not a small crime, just this one is enough for Hua Xiong, Zhao Cen couldn't help but gloat, Hua Xiong is afraid that this guy will suffer this time, the metropolitan governor Xu Rong is not so easy to speak, Xu Rong has always been strict in governing the army, this time Hua Xiong will definitely not be able to run away.
Meng Ge didn't care so much, and hurriedly rode forward to find Hua Xiong, Zhao Cen took a dozen rides to accompany him, and after a while, Meng Ge flew out of the customs and chased Hua Xiong.
At this time, the coalition camp was panicking, Hua Xiong cut two generals in a row, Yu Shi and Pan Feng were not Hua Xiong's opponents, hearing this, Yuan Shao immediately sighed: "It's a pity that my generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou have not arrived!" If you have to be alone here, why be afraid of Huaxiong! ”
The princes present sneered one after another, saying that who wouldn't say, why didn't your general come with you, it's not because you want to preserve your strength, so you deliberately didn't bring your generals up, I'm afraid you just have the intention of sending us to death.
Yesterday, Sun Wentai was defeated, and everyone still didn't understand that this was Yuan Shao's plan to kill people with a knife, in order to let everyone here fight with Dong Zhuo to lose both, where is the Tiger Prison Pass so easy to capture, without tens of thousands of lives, I'm afraid don't even think about going to the Tiger Prison Pass.
Yuan Shu and Han Fu, who had broken the general, no longer spoke, sitting motionless and drinking stuffy wine, when suddenly someone at the bottom of the stairs shouted: "The young general is willing to go, cut off Huaxiong's head and dedicate it to the tent!" ”
Seeing it, seeing that his body is nine feet long, his beard is two feet long, Danfeng eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, his face is like a heavy jujube, and his voice is like a giant bell, standing in front of the tent, Cao Ying's heart was slightly shocked, and he secretly said that he was a good tiger general, just looking at the big knife in his hand, he knew that this person was good at kung fu, and the flashing light in his eyes made people shudder, so Cao Ying had only seen one person, and that was still when he was in Luoyang, that person made himself suffer a heavy injury in two moves, and almost died under his sword, Cao Ying is still fresh in his memory, I don't know what about this person?
This person is really bold, Yuan Shao looked sideways slightly, and said with a smile: "Who are you!" ”
Youzhou Gongsun hurriedly said: "This Liu Xuande's brother Guan Yu is also! ”
Yuan Shao asked Guan Yu what his current position was, and Gongsun Zan replied: "Follow Liu Xuande as an archer!" ”
Yuan Shu on the tent was suddenly furious, and shouted angrily: "You deceive my princes, there are no generals? The little archers dare to make a big fuss here, come and fight with me! ”
As soon as these words came out, none of the people present had a good face, only Cao Ying smiled and said: "The highway is angry, this person must have some ability, if he can't win, it's not too late to blame!" ”
Cao Ying spoke to help, and everyone here didn't say anything, but Yuan Shao frowned and said: "But letting a little archer fight, it will inevitably make Hua Xiong make fun of it, so inappropriate!" ”
Cao Ying immediately said: "Hey, this was wrong at the beginning, you and I and everyone here can see that he is a horse archer just now, I look at this person's dignified appearance, how can Hua Xiong know that he is a horse archer!" ”
Thanks to Cao Ying's words, Guan Yu also had a slight smile on his indifferent face, and he had a slight impression of this Lord Cao Guan Yu, and said loudly at the moment: "If you don't win, please behead someone!" ”
This sentence can be described as loud, Yuan Shao's eyebrows were happy, and he patted the case: "Okay, I'll let you fight!" ”
Guan Yu got the order, and immediately walked out of the big tent, Liu Bei never said a word from beginning to end, because he believed that his brother, Guan Yu would definitely be able to do this, how high Guan Yu's martial arts were Liu Bei naturally knew, he didn't think Guan Yu could win against Hua Xiong.
"Wait!" Cao Ying poured a bowl of hot wine and handed it to Guan Yu with a smile, "Please drink this wine first!" ”
"Pour the wine, I'll go back!" After speaking, Guan Yu took the knife out of the big tent and went straight to the outside of the tent, and the drums outside the tent suddenly shook the sky, and Guan Yu naturally had people beating drums to help when he went out.
Let's say that Meng Ge Pegasus went out, and in a blink of an eye he saw Hua Xiong's military formation, Hua Xiong's army was in a formation, and at this moment he was outside the camp of the Kwantung princes, Meng Ge was overjoyed, this guy was fortunately not finished, otherwise the military formation would not be so complete, don't think too much, Meng Ge hurriedly broke into the army, and soon after arriving, he saw a general from the coalition camp out of the camp.
Not good, Meng Ge saw the big knife in the man's hand and knew that it was not good, and hurriedly kicked the horse's belly, sat down and the horse was in pain, and suddenly the speed was a little faster, only to see the big man with the big knife out of the camp without saying a word, and went straight to Huaxiong with the knife.
Hua Xiong, who had just beheaded two generals, was triumphant, and looked at the person who came as if he was not a little worried, not knowing that the god of death was quietly approaching him, and he didn't even hold the big knife in his hand.
Looking at Hua Xiong's leisurely appearance, Meng Ge suddenly became anxious and roared angrily: "Brother Hua, be careful, this person is strong in martial arts!" ”
The triumphant Hua Xiong suddenly heard that someone behind him reminded him that he was still his brother when he heard the voice, although he didn't care about it, he still paid attention to it, Guan Yu sneered, and rushed forward with the knife in his hand, Hua Xiong was careless, how could he not see it, the battle between masters was often in an instant, and Hua Xiong at this time was already a dead man in his eyes.
Borrowing the horse speed Guan Yu suddenly swung a powerful knife, at this time Hua Xiong showed a dignified color, the giant knife blocked, a huge force suddenly came from the arm, the terrible power suddenly shocked Hua Xiong, Hua Xiong suddenly felt bad, he didn't expect this person's strength to be so great, a knife made his tiger mouth faintly painful.
Guan Yu smiled coldly, and the second knife was swung out again, this knife went straight to Hua Xiong's neck, Hua Xiong's hair stood up, and the breath of death on the big knife kept coming, and Hua Xiong didn't have time to block the second knife.
At this time, Meng Ge finally rushed to a hundred steps away and shouted: "Guan Yu, let me die!" ”
At the same time, the left and right hands were used together, and two sharp cold lights shot out instantly......
