Chapter 115: Abandoning Hangu Pass

Jia Xu hurried to the hall, and at this moment, Zhang Lang was discussing with the generals.

"My lord." Jia Xu clasped his fists and saluted.

"You're here? I just got the news that Fu Zhu and Zhang Jaw are storming the western and northern fronts at the same time, Ma Teng and Zang Ba are very difficult, and they have sent people to ask me for reinforcements! ”

Jia Xu frowned, "Didn't Wang Fang's trip have any effect?" ”

As soon as the words fell, an officer rushed in and reported: "General, Yuan Shao's army is out of the village!" ”

Zhang Lang frowned and walked quickly outside, followed by everyone.

When I came to the city wall, I saw hundreds of thousands of Yuan Shaojun soldiers lined up outside the pass, the formation was like a mountain, and the flags were surging; The swords and guns are like a forest, reflecting a dazzling cold light. In the middle of the military formation, under the flag gate, the general wearing gold armor, a golden helmet on his head, a scarlet cloak, and a proud face was Yuan Shao. Dozens of civil servants and military generals were clustered around, and Xu You was among them.

Zhang Lang frowned and said, "It seems that Wang Fang's trip has no effect!" He looked at Jia Xu. Jia Xu couldn't help frowning, "We must hurry up and implement the backup plan!" ”

Zhang Lang was a little unwilling, "Do you really want to do this?" ”

"That's the only way to go! Take a step back and open the sky, and we don't have much to lose! ”

Zhang Lang hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Yuan Shao's army lined up outside the city to challenge, but for a whole day, no one fought in Hangu Pass.

Early the next morning, Yuan Shaojun continued to challenge in formation. Xu You saw that there were only flags on the city wall and no one was there, his heart moved, and he hurriedly reported to Yuan Shaoyu: "Lord, look at the city wall, there are only flags, but there is no figure!" Yuan Shao looked up and found that this was indeed the case, and asked puzzledly, "What's going on?" ”

Xu You looked at Chengguan and frowned and shook his head, "I can't make a judgment for the time being!" Chao Yuan Shao hugged his fist, "Lord, you can order an army to try to attack and see how the other party reacts!" ”

Yuan Shao nodded, and immediately ordered Jiang Qi's infantry army to attack the city immediately.

The war drums sounded loudly, and Jiang Qi's 10,000-foot army began to attack the city, and at the same time, Yan Liang's iron cavalry was ready to attack.

The 10,000 infantry rushed to the city wall with a nervous mood, put the cloud ladder on the city wall, and then climbed up the cloud ladder. Everyone stared at the soldiers who were climbing along the wall, looking very nervous. However, nothing happened the whole time, and the soldiers climbed the wall very smoothly.

Moments later, the gates opened, and an officer galloped out. Yuan Shao and Xu You looked at each other. The officer galloped in front of the two and reported: "Lord, there is no one in the city, and all the Lu Bu troops are gone!" ”

Yuan Shao said in disbelief: "They actually gave up Hangu Pass? ”

Xu You pondered: "It must be the flanking actions of Zhang Jaw and Frustration that made Lu Bu feel heavily threatened, so they gave up Hangu Pass!" ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, looked at Hanguguan and shook his horsewhip, and said excitedly: "Frustrated professor did a good job!" Before, he proposed the strategy of flanking and turning back to Yangshan, and I still have some doubts! Now it seems that this trick has really worked wonders! I'm going to give you a great reward! ”

When Xu You heard this, he felt very uncomfortable.

The army marched into Hangu Pass. At the same time, an army of 150,000 led by Fu Zhu also crossed the Yellow River. However, standing on the land on the south bank of the Yellow River, Fu Zhu did not have the excited look he should have.

"We crossed the Yellow River very smoothly, but why did Mr. look so preoccupied?" A general couldn't help but ask when he saw the solemn expression on his face.

He said in a deep voice: "Lu Bujun is clearly taking the initiative to retreat!" What's the use of capturing just one Hangu Pass? Lu Bu, it's even more terrifying than I imagined! Suddenly remembering something, he ordered: "Send someone to inform the lord immediately, and send a cavalry to pursue Lu Bu!" Even if you can't intercept his large army, you will kill most of his infantry army! The general nodded, turned his horse's head, and sent an order.

He said to an officer beside him, "Invite Kebineng immediately!" The officer said yes and rode away.

A moment later, more than a dozen strong men from the grassland wearing furs and carrying bows and arrows on their backs galloped in front of Fu Zhi, and the person in the lead was none other than Xianbei Wang Kebineng.

Kebineng reined in the war horse and asked casually, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Frustration?" ”

Frustrated and clenched his fists, "King, I want to ask your Xianbei cavalry to send out the whole army and pursue Lu Bu!" ”

"This ......," Kebineng looked hesitant.

Fu Zhi sneered in his heart, and said to Ke Bineng: "Lu Bu retreated, carrying a large amount of grain, grass, baggage, and gold and silver treasures!" If the king can intercept Lu Bujun, these are the king's! ”

Kebineng was already tempted, "Is this true? ”

"Of course! When does our talk not count? If it weren't for the lack of cavalry strength of our army, we would not have given away such a piece of fat! ”

Kebineng laughed, "Mr. Fu is quick to talk, like our men on the grassland!" I won't tell you more, it's important to hunt down Lu Bu! Then he turned his horse's head and left. A moment later, 100,000 Xianbei cavalry surged towards the west.

Fu Zhu led a general and more than a dozen personal soldiers to stand on the hill and watched the 100,000 Xianbei cavalry roll away, and Fu Zhu looked thoughtful.

After Yuan Shao occupied Hangu Pass, he left a garrison pass, and the army marched westward.

Suddenly, a fast horse galloped towards him. When he came to the front of the army, he was blocked by the cavalry, and hurriedly strangled him, raised his arrow, and shouted: "I am frustrated with the order of Mr. Ask to see the lord!" ”

When the cavalry saw this, they dispersed.

The fast horse galloped in front of Yuan Shao, rolled the saddle and dismounted, kneeling and saying: "Qi Lord, I will ask the lord to send all the cavalry under his command to pursue Lu Bu's army!" ”

Even though Yuan Shaodang was about to give an order, Xu Yu on the side hurriedly said: "Don't be busy, lord!" The subordinates thought that the pursuit was not appropriate! ”

"Oh? Why? ”

Xu Yu said: "Lu Bu is a veteran of the battlefield, how can he not know the truth that the retreat must be broken?" Rashly pursued, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses! ”

Yuan Shao felt that what Xu You said was very reasonable, nodded, and said to the herald: "Go back and tell him not to act rashly!" The herald answered, turned on his horse, raised his whip, and galloped away.

Kebi Neng Shuai ordered 100,000 Xianbei cavalry to pursue westward all over the mountains.

Zhang Lang's army accounted for the vast majority of the infantry troops, and also carried a large amount of grain and grass, and the speed could not be compared with the Xianbei cavalry, and the distance between the two was quickly shortened!

A scout caught up with Zhang Lang and hurriedly reported: "General, it's not good, the Xianbei cavalry is coming!" ”

Zhang Lang frowned, looked at Jia Xu, and Jia Xu asked, "Is there only the Xianbei cavalry?" What about Yuan Shao's cavalry? ”

"I didn't see Yuan Shao's cavalry!"

Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay." Chao Zhang Lang hugged his fists and said, "You have to ask the general to come out!" ”

Zhang Lang nodded, "I understand what you mean!" I command all the cavalry to intercept the Xianbei cavalry, you hurry up and retreat to Tongguan! Glancing at the generals, he advised: "When I am not there, listen to Wen He's orders!" "No."

Zhang Lang rode his horse up the hill next to him and shouted, "All the horsemen will follow me to meet the enemy!" Let's go! ”

The 50,000 horsemen who had originally marched west turned their horses' heads one after another, gathered around Zhang Lang, and surged towards the east.
