Gao Shun stood up and asked calmly, "Kanto? Hangu Pass? What's going on? ”

Guo Tu hurriedly said: "In return, Xuzhou Assassin Shi Taoqian sent troops to kill the father of Yanzhou Mu Cao Ying, and Cao Ying raised 100,000 troops to kill Xuzhou to take revenge. Just when Cao Ying was crusading against Xuzhou, Cao Ying's old friend, Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao, and his confidant Chen Gong suddenly rebelled and welcomed Hedong Taishou Lu Bu into Yanzhou, and now the entire Central Plains has become a pot of porridge. ”

Li Ru took over the conversation and said: "Now that Luoyang's troops are empty, and Zhao Cen's department in Hangu Pass doesn't know what's going on, and suddenly there is infighting, now is a good opportunity to seize Hangu Pass, and take advantage of the fact that the Kwantung warlords are fighting and have no time to take care of the imperial court to attack and occupy Luoyang in one fell swoop." ”

Guo Tu said excitedly: "If you can attack and occupy Luoyang in one fell swoop, the lord will be able to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and in this way, the world can be determined." ”

Gao Shun hesitated: "But Liu Bei is the captain of the school, he is law-abiding, diligent and thrifty, and he is very respectful to the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, and he is completely different from the national thief Dong Zhuo. Whether it is above the court or among the corporals in the world, Liu Bei is quite famous, and our army rashly raises troops to crusade, for fear of attracting condemnation from the people of the world. ”

"Those who achieve great things are not informal, as long as they can control the Son of Heaven in their hands, are they afraid that people in the world will make irresponsible remarks?" Guo Tu said this, and said in a resolute tone, "Before the lord set out on the expedition, he gave Tu the right to make a decision. This is the right time, please ask the general to immediately raise troops to attack Luoyang. ”

Gao Shun said helplessly: "In this case, the last general will take the order." ”

……

Outside Hangu Pass, deep mountains and dense forests.

Zhang Fei came out of a bush with a dirty face, and carried a small wild boar with a broken neck on his shoulder, looking for a way forward between the mountains and rocks and jungles, while turning around and scolding: "His grandmother's, this ghost place is really evil, and I can't get out after ten days." ”

In the shaking of the bushes, the same gray-headed and dusty Gu also came out, and a dozen more than a dozen tired and ragged soldiers came out behind him.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Third General, the brothers really can't walk, so it's better to rest for a while." ”

"Exhausted, you know exhausted, it's really useless waste." Zhang Fei scolded, "It seems that when will we be able to get out of this deep mountain and old forest with such stop-and-go?" ”

Zhang Fei scolded, but sat down on the rock.

It's really enough to say that Zhang Feiqiao was dressed up as a personal follower, and Shunshun mixed into Hangu Pass, taking advantage of the opportunity when Zhao Cen summoned Zheng Gu the next day, Zhang Fei successfully mixed into Zhao Cen's camp, but who knew that when he arrived in front of Zhao Cen's big tent, he was suddenly recognized by a personal soldier of Zhao Cen.

The result, of course, fell short.

Not only did not assassinate Zhao Cen, but was surrounded and killed by Zhao Cen's army, more than 1,000 people and horses were killed and wounded, and the two only fled into the deep mountains and old forests in a panic with more than ten personal soldiers, and as a result, they got lost in the mountains, and they didn't turn out for ten days, and now they don't know where to go.

While everyone was resting, they got up and relieved themselves.

When he was about to cheer, he suddenly found that there was a big road in the middle of the valley in front of him, and when he was about to cheer, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a black army marching forward on the way from the official road, and then turned his head to take a closer look, and suddenly silenced.

"Three generals." Su Gu turned his head and beckoned to Zhang Fei, who was sulking, "Come here." ”

Zhang Feihuan glared at him and said sharply: "What kind of bird thing?" ”

He said hurriedly: "The general is quieter." ”

Zhang Fei's eyes showed a look of surprise, the cat's waist crapped over, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

He pointed his hand forward and said, "General, look." ”

Zhang Fei looked forward in the direction of his fingers, and a trace of cold murderous intent bloomed in his eyes, and he said in a condensed voice: "Guo Tu? Horse butcher's henchman! ”

"Uh...... What? ”

He turned his head in astonishment, and saw that there was a dangerous peak not far ahead, and there were more than a dozen figures standing on the peak, among which two Confucian scribes had long sleeves fluttering, one of them was burned to ashes and could also recognize it, it was Li Ru, the military advisor of the Liangzhou Rebellion, and the other was thin and thin, with a clear expression, thinking that it was Guo Tu that Zhang Fei shouted.

When Zhang Fei saw Guo Tu, it can really be said that the enemy was very red when he saw each other, and when he was still in Yingchuan, Zhang Fei was separated from Liu Bei by the horse butcher, and it took two years to be reunited, and Guo Tu was the horse butcher's confidant at that time. Not long ago, Guo Tu directly killed Liu Bei's henchman Jian Yong.

……

Chang'an Ancient Road.

Gao Shun, Guo Tu, and Li Ru climbed to the dangerous peak on the right side of the official road under the escort of more than a dozen personal soldiers.

Gao Shun pointed to the official road that stretched straight forward at the foot of the mountain, and said to Guo Tu and Li Ru: "If this attack on Luoyang fails, the last general plans to build a checkpoint here, and our army can hold the pass, which is enough to resist the attack of hundreds of thousands of Kwantung heroes." ”

Guo Tu said: "The mountains and shadows here are full of dangers, so it is better to call it Tongguan." ”

"Tongguan?" Gao Shun nodded and said, "According to what Mr. said, it is called Tongguan." ”

[In Jian'an, in order to resist the attack of Xiliang Ma Chao, Cao Ying ordered people to build Tong Pass, and at the same time abandoned Hangu Pass. ]

Li Ru said: "However, if Zhao Cen can be persuaded to surrender, then there is no need to build this Tongguan." ”

Guo Tu said: "Zhao Cen can know the current affairs and surrender, that is the best, if you don't know the current affairs, then you have no choice but to break Hangu, destroy all its people, and then take Luoyang and kill Liu Bei." ”

"If you want to kill a certain big brother, let's go in the next life!"

Guo Tu's voice fell, and a ghostly voice suddenly sounded.

Gao Shun, Guo Tu and the others turned around, and found that there were already a group of ghostly "wild men" on the road not far behind them, among which the "wild man" at the front was eight feet tall, with round eyes and a very hideous appearance, Gao Shun thought about it for a while, and then his face changed greatly, and he lost his voice: "Zhang Fei!?" ”

Zhang Fei grinned and said coldly: "It's so." ”

Gao Shun gasped and shouted softly, "Protect the two gentlemen." ”

Under Gao Shun's order, more than a dozen pro-soldiers had already rushed over, firmly protecting Guo Tu and Li Ru. Unfortunately, the location of Gao Shun and the others is in a steep and dangerous peak, this dangerous peak is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and only the direction of the road is a gentle slope, and Zhang Fei, Zheng Gu and others happened to block this only way to escape.

Zhang Fei sneered: "Just with this group of native chickens and tile dogs, you also want to block a certain way?" ”

Gao Shun slowly drew his long sword, entered the front of the pro-soldier formation, and at the same time signaled to a pro-soldier beside him with his eyes, and the pro-soldier immediately removed the horn from his shoulder, and brought it to the corner of his mouth to prepare to blow the trumpet to warn.

"The three generals are not good." Behind Zhang Fei, the man behind him shouted sharply, "They are going to blow the trumpet to gather the army and kill the trumpeter quickly." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Feihuan's eyes showed murderous intent in his eyes, and he said sharply, "If you want to summon reinforcements, there is no door, go die!" ”

"Whew......"

A loud shout, followed by a terrible sound of breaking the air, saying that it was too late and that was fast, the steel knife in Zhang Fei's hand had already flown out of his hand, and shot like lightning towards the pro-soldier who wanted to blow the trumpet to warn, Gao Shun's face changed, and he took a step forward, and blocked Zhang Fei's inevitable knife with the long sword in his hand.

"Boom!"

"Hmph."

After the suffocating sound of gold and iron, Gao Shun snorted and took three steps back, and a wisp of red blood slipped down the corner of his mouth quietly, but Zhang Fei's killing knife was finally driven by Gao Shun Gefei, and the sharp steel knife was nailed straight into the rock crevice, reaching the handle.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The long, mournful sound of the horn finally sounded.

As soon as the horn sounded, a deafening shout of killing sounded at the foot of the mountain, and the soldiers of the Ma Yuejun Army who had received the warning signal were rushing up the mountain frantically. Gao Shun stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes showed a rock-like firm look, the horizontal sword was in his chest, and he said in a deep voice: "Hold the mountain road, fight to the death and never retreat!" ”

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

More than a dozen pro-soldiers responded with three calls.

"Third general, there's no time, let's withdraw first." Su Gu looked at the enemy soldiers swarming under the mountain, and hurriedly said to Zhang Fei, "Even if they have a big life this time, there will be a chance to kill them again in the future." ”

"I'm afraid of him!" Zhang Feihuan's eyes showed murderous intent in his eyes, and he said coldly, "When the group of local chickens and tile dogs under the mountain rush up, these dozen miscellaneous fish above have already seen the king of Hades." ”

Zhang Fei is proud of his martial arts, and his heart is full of revenge anger, how could he miss such a good opportunity?

"But ......"

Zhang Feihuo said: "Don't talk nonsense, kill!" ”

Zheng Gu gritted his teeth, turned back and beckoned to the dozen or so pro-soldiers behind him: "Brothers, kill!" ”

……

Julu County, Zeguo.

The rain was pouring down, the ground was muddy, and Zeguo became a real Zeguo.

The self-righteous Gongsun Chan completely did not listen to the persuasion of Guan Jing and Yan Gang, and insisted on forcibly launching a surprise attack on the stubbornly resisting Xiandeng battalion, but unfortunately, the muddy ground greatly weakened the power of Youyan cavalry, and in the majestic heavy rain, the Xiandeng battalion successively resolved the seven onslaughts of Gongsun Zhan's army.

When Gongsun Chan decided to launch the eighth attack, the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically.

The elite of the 10,000 Yuan army, which had been hidden underground for a day and a night, suddenly broke through the ground and launched a surprise onslaught on Gongsun Zhan's army from the flank, and Gongsun Zhan's rear army was caught off guard and quickly collapsed! Ju Yi took the lead in the camp and lost no time in launching a counterattack from the front.

Gongsun Zhan's army was completely unable to figure out the reality of the enemy's army, and the north of the abdomen quickly collapsed under the enemy.

Yes, Gongsun Zhan only led more than 100 horsemen to flee back to the Zhao State camp in panic, the general Yan Gang and the strategist Guan Jing were all killed in the chaos, and the 40,000 army either trampled on each other and died, or was captured by Yuan Jun and killed, and the 8,000 white horse Yicong was wiped out by the whole army, and the commander Zhao Yun was nowhere to be found.

……

"Kill!"

Zhang Fei shouted, flew up and kicked the last personal soldier who was blocking Guo Tu and Li Ru away.

"Suffer death."

Zhang Fei roared angrily, and the big iron fist smashed into the air fiercely, directly hitting Guo Tu's door, if Zhang Fei was allowed to hit this punch, he was afraid that Guo Tu's head would shatter like a watermelon. Guo Tu saw Zhang Fei so powerful, his whole person was like thunder, and it was difficult to move a bit, so he could only watch the iron fist grow bigger and bigger in front of him.

"Poof."

"Click."

At the critical moment, a giant palm stood in front of Guo Tumian's door, and struck hard with Zhang Fei's iron fist, and suddenly exploded with a heavy muffled sound, mixed with the crisp sound of bones shattering. A majestic figure like a mountain could stand in front of Guo Tu, but it was Gao Shun with a pale face.

Although Gao Shun blocked Zhang Fei's killing punch, the price was heavy, and the metacarpal bones of the entire left palm had been shattered inch by inch.

Zhang Fei looked back in shock, and he was already pale to the ground, the corners of his mouth were constantly bleeding out, a knife wound crossed his chest and abdomen, the entire body cavity burst open like a fish's mouth, and the internal organs inside flowed out. Next to him, more than a dozen of his personal soldiers were lying horizontally, and one by one they had already swallowed their breath.

Zhang Fei gritted his teeth and said, "Gao Shun! ”

A trace of indifference appeared at the corner of Gao Shun's mouth, and he said in a condensed voice: "Zhang Fei, surrender!" ”

"Dreaming."

Zhang Feiwolf snorted, his expression was like madness, the whiskers under his chin stood up like steel needles, and the tyrannical killing intent like a beast bloomed in his eyes, and the two iron arms waved like wheels, attacking Gao Shun like a storm. Gao Shun took a deep breath of cold air and barely raised his arms to block Zhang Fei's last and craziest attack.

"Bulging ......"

In the furious muffled sound, Zhang Fei's iron fist hit Gao Shun's chest like a sandbag, Gao Shun snorted and tried his last strength to pounce forward, hugging Zhang Fei's right leg tightly, and at the same time shouted to Guo Tu and Li Ru, who were looking at the stupid: "Two gentlemen, go, go!" ”

"Scared."

Li Ru screamed, finally came back to his senses from his trance, pulled up Guo Tu and turned around and left, not far away, Ma Yuejun's soldiers had already covered up all over the mountains. As long as there is a moment of effort, Guo Tu and Li Ru will be able to hide in the army, and it will be impossible for Zhang Fei to kill Guo Tu.

"Get out of here!"

Zhang Fei was in a hurry and struggled hard.

"Don't think!"

Gao Shun's eyebrows were clear, and he didn't move.

"Ah~~"

"Sand~~"

Zhang Fei bent down to pick up a broken knife on the ground, and while trying his best to resist Gao Shun's hard pulling, he exhaled and threw the broken knife in his hand at the backs of Guo Tu and Li Ru. The mountain wind howled, and the figures of the two overlapped, and the cold light flashed, and the broken knife first pierced Guo Tu's body, and then deeply pierced Li Ru's back.

Guo Tu, who was running forward at a gallop, softened under his feet and fell down.

Li Ru ran two steps more than Guo Tu, and immediately fell to the ground, taking advantage of the moment he lowered his head, Li Ru was horrified to find that a severed knife was coming out of his chest, and red blood was gushing out from the cracked incision like a fountain. The next moment, endless darkness struck and completely devoured Li Ru.

"Wow~~"

Almost at the same time that Guo Tu and Li Ru fell to the ground, Zhang Fei also howled like a wounded beast, and a cold that penetrated his body had already hit his lower body, and his entire body suddenly became extremely heavy. Slowly lowered his head, and what caught his eye was Gao Shunqing's cool and still calm face.

Gao Shun's left hand held a severed spear, and the blade of the broken spear pierced through Zhang Fei's anus, penetrating the vital point of his henchmen.

"Kill you~~"

Zhang Fei roared wildly, slowly bent down, grabbed Gao Shun's left arm with both hands and twisted it again, only to hear a click, Gao Shun's entire right arm had been forcibly removed by Zhang Fei, but Gao Shun looked at Zhang Fei as if he was nothing, his eyes were still so calm, as if Zhang Fei's unloaded arm was not his at all.

"Zhang Fei, you're done."

"Gao Shun, you can't live!"

Zhang Fei raised Gao Shun's severed arm high, and was about to kill the broken arm of the white bone Sensen through Gao Shun's chest, when a sharp wolf's tooth arrow rushed in, accurately shooting through Zhang Fei's throat, Zhang Fei's eyes suddenly became dull, and his strong body shook back and forth, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

"Poof."

Gao Shun opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, a faint regret passed through his bloodshot eyes, and then his eyes went black and passed out, faintly, Gao Shun seemed to hear the anxious shouts of the generals under his command, and suddenly, the image of Ma Yue floated in Gao Shun's mind.

Lord! Gao Shun is afraid that he will no longer be able to gallop on the battlefield with you, which is really a pity.

……

Changan.

After nearly two years of conquest, in the fourth year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty (191), Ma Yue finally pacified the Mobei grassland and the Western Regions, and completely put the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains outside the country and dozens of barbarians under his iron-fisted rule. What makes Ma Yue even more pleased is that Ma Chao has also grown from an ignorant teenager to an excellent commander.

After conquering Saiwai, Ma Yue led the army back to Liangzhou in the starry night, and when he arrived in Longxian, he learned that Guo Tu had reoccupied Chang'an, so he rushed to Chang'an non-stop, but Ma Yue was still a step late. Before he arrived in Chang'an, Guo Tu and Gao Shun had already led the army to the battle.

At this point, the horse butcher never saw Guo Tu for the last time.

What's even more unfortunate is Li Ru, who finally changed to a wise new lord, but before he had time to show his talent, his life came to an end in a hurry. Many famous generals often die at the hands of nobodies, and many wise people do their best, but in the end they can't escape the simplest calculations.

……

Ma Yue entered Chang'an City surrounded by Jia Xu, Dian Wei, Ma Teng, Ma Chao and others, and before he arrived at Gao Shun's official residence, he was greeted by the deputy general who stayed in Chang'an.

"What about Gao Shun?"

"Back to the lord, General Gao Shun has led a large army to attack Hangu Pass."

"Well, attacking Hangu Pass?" Jia Xu's face changed, and he said hurriedly, "The lord is not good, and the lord is afraid that he is in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, and wants to take advantage of Luoyang's empty army to attack Luoyang." ”

"Attack Luoyang?" Ma Yue frowned and said in a deep voice, "Although Luoyang is empty, Liu Bei is not as good as Dong Zhuo, and he is very respectful to the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother. ”

Jia Xu asked the adjutant general urgently: "How many days has the army been on the march?" ”

"It's been three days."

"There's news coming back."

"No news yet."

"Report ......"

The adjutant general's voice fell, and there was a terrible long howl in the direction of the city gate, and then there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves shattering the silent long street, Ma Yue and others looked back, only to see a fast horse galloping, and a pennant was placed diagonally behind the knight's shoulder, and he was hunting in the wind.

"Report~~Hangu Seki Urgent Report~~"

Ma Yue saw that the messenger's expression was sad, and his heart sank, and he stopped the horse and shouted: "Speak! ”

The messenger instinctively reined in the reins of his horse, and when he saw that the person blocking the road was a horse leaping, he rolled his saddle and dismounted in a panic, and said in a sad voice: "General, it's not good, something is wrong." ”

Ma Yue's eyes were like torches, staring straight at the messenger, and said in a deep voice: "As long as General Ben is here, the sky will not collapse, tell me slowly, what happened?" ”
