Guo Jia is very smart, not ordinary smart, he was already suspicious at the stall where Wang Xu screamed, and when he saw Wang Xu like this at this moment, he instantly realized, took a step forward with a pale face, and asked softly: "Lord, could it be that this person is the little colonel who came from Dingjun Mountain to deliver the message?" ”

"Huh!" With a heavy sigh, Wang Xu slowly closed his eyes and nodded weakly: "Exactly!" ”

"Huh", the faces of the accompanying civil and military officers turned white at the same time, if they couldn't guess what happened now, they had really been in vain for so many years. But now Zhao Yun has already rushed with 5,000 soldiers for most of the day, and I am afraid that he will rush to the area of Dingjun Mountain in a few hours, and it is too late to say anything.

Wang Xu quickly opened his eyes, but all the eagerness and panic had disappeared, but the essence flickered, and it was all decisive. At this moment, when everyone was panicking and the hearts of the people were in turmoil, he showed his courage and emotional power to control the world, and a series of commands spit out from his mouth without stopping.

"Where are Xu Huang and Zhang Liao!"

"The last general!"

"The two of you each rushed to Dingjun Mountain with the big axe knights of the headquarters and the dead soldiers of Xiaoyaojin to meet the possible defeat of Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, and intercept Zhang Ren's pursuit."

"No!"

Wang Xu's composure was like the backbone of the heart, and the sonorous and powerful voice was like a needle in the sea, which instantly shook the heart of the general, and everyone calmed down in an instant. They believe in Wang Xu, believe in the Jingzhou forces, believe in themselves, and believe in the blade in their hands!

Seeing that the two of them had fierce faces and murderous voices, Wang Xu couldn't help but remind: "You two pay attention to preserving the soldiers' bodies, and you must maintain the strength of a battle at any time." You don't have to rush too fast along the way, if anything is going to happen. Then you can't hurry up any time. The main purpose of this trip is to respond. If Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong can break through. You will be credited for saving the two of them back, and if there is an emergency, you two can be on the spot. ”

The two looked at each other and responded in unison: "The last general obeys the order!" ”

The two decisively turned around and left first, Wang Xu did not stop, and spoke again: "Zhou Zhi, Zhang Jing!" ”

"In!"

"The two of you go to prepare quickly, regardless of whether Zhang Liao and the others come back or not. The two of you will lead the Greedy Wolf Guard and the Flying Dragon Army that are still alive in your headquarters, and bring two thousand elite foot soldiers to the west to join them. Remember, be sure to deal with Zhang Ren, and one more day to contain him, we will have one more chance. This time, Jingzhou's strength has suffered heavy losses, if it can't take Hanzhong, there will be no chance in two or three years, let alone a major event in Shu. Now the future and life and death of Jingzhou are in this battle, so you block Zhang Ren for me, and I will take Nanzheng. ”

"Yes!"

The relationship between Zhou Zhi, Zhang Jing and Wang Xu is very different. The three of them looked at each other silently and said nothing. But understand everything.

As soon as they left, Wang Xu suddenly felt empty and lonely in his heart, took a deep breath, and was about to let everyone go back to the camp first, when there was a disturbing howl in the distance. "Report ...... Report...... Report...... Yangping Pass Emergency! ”

This anxious and fiery voice made the sergeants guarding the gate dare not stop it and let it pass. This person saw Wei Yan from a distance, as if he knew him, and then looked at a bunch of people standing there, Wei Yan just stood respectfully, and immediately understood who was here. Immediately turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Yangping Guan urgent!" ”

Yangping Guan was originally handed over to Wei Yan to be responsible, and at the beginning, he had to go to a full two thousand precious crossbowmen, as well as Huo Du and Huo Jun. At this moment, the shape of Dingjun Mountain has made people upset, and he is so anxious, as if there is a life talisman behind him, and there is a bull head and horse face locking the soul, which makes everyone present have their eyelids jumping, and their hearts are stimulated.

Wei Yan seemed to know this person as well, and immediately took the lead in stepping forward and asking, "What's the matter with Yangping, report it quickly?" ”

"Enlightenment...... Open...... General Qiyu! ”

This soldier was out of breath when he spoke, and at a glance he knew that he must be on the way to come, and he didn't know how urgent the matter was, Wang Xu's brows furrowed even tighter, the accident in Dingjun Mountain was already difficult to handle, if Yangping Pass went on a business trip again, then Nan Zheng would probably have to give up.

Wei Yan almost ran away on the spot, his fists clenched "crackling", Yangping Pass was the defense he arranged, and he was also responsible.

After a while, the little colonel also took a few quick breaths, and finally changed his strength. "General Qiqi, good news, good news!"

"Hoo ......"

As soon as the two words of good news came out, they actually remembered a sound of relief at the same time, and everyone felt it, and couldn't help but smile at each other, all a little embarrassed. Just now, there was really a feeling that the hanging mountain suddenly fell to the ground next to it, and it didn't hit your head. This is not easy for everyone who has been tested for a long time and is infinitely close to the realm of "Mount Tai collapses in front and the face does not change".

As soon as the tight string in Wei Yan's heart broke, he blurted out and scolded involuntarily in an instant, and even unconsciously used the colloquialism of Zhou Zhi's church. "Your ancestors on my day, you fucking make the good news like a talisman, dog's day!"

After finishing speaking, he reacted, his body instantly stiffened, and he peeked at everyone in embarrassment.

"Hahaha! I didn't expect Wen Chang to have this side, it's really interesting, hahaha...... "Wang Xu didn't have any scruples, when he heard this familiar and unfamiliar scolding, he couldn't stop laughing on the spot, and made ridiculous remarks.

It's not good for other people to laugh at this moment, it's not good to be misunderstood and ridiculed, looking at the embarrassed appearance of Wei Yan, who is five big and three rough, one by one is flushed, and it is very hard.

Wei Yan had nowhere to alleviate the embarrassment, so he had to point the finger at the herald soldier and glared fiercely.

These scolding words were famous all over the world because of the spread of Zhou Zhi and others as early as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and they spread to the north and south of the river, and of course the little school could understand it, and he was even more frightened when he saw Wei Yan's terrible appearance when he was angry. It's just that he can't figure it out, everyone is rewarded for reporting the good news, why did he report the good news so miserably.

Wang Xu saw that the little colonel was wronged, he couldn't help waving his hand, and said with relief: "You don't need to mind, just now it was just General Wei's unintentional words, don't take it to heart, this time the good news is meritorious, you can receive fifty taels of silver, you better tell where the joy comes from!" ”

"General Xie, General Xie!" The little school was relieved, and a smile finally appeared on his face. "General Qiyu, yesterday more than 7,000 people led by Yuan Yue, the leader of the barbarians outside the Guan, suddenly invaded the border and were defeated by our army!"

"Oh? How was it defeated? Wang Xu was greatly surprised in his heart. When I heard that there were 7,000 people, my heart was already tight. Seven thousand of these foreign warriors is no small number. The foreign people live a hard life, and they constantly break through themselves in the face of the pressure of survival, and those who survive are strong, and the warriors are all as strong as oxen, so their combat effectiveness is very strong, and they are not afraid of death.

If it is a strong attack, the 2,000 people in Yangping Pass will definitely not be able to stop it for long. Sent people to this Nanzheng to ask for help, there are more than 200 miles of land. The sergeants used to be more than 200 li, not to mention the time for the transfer of the army, it took more than a day just to come and go, and this was still a rapid march regardless of fatigue, and the cavalry was much faster. To be honest, Nan Zheng really can't transfer a soldier anymore, and he doesn't have to fight again, so it's better to go back to Xiangyang directly.

The little colonel smiled and spoke aloud. "The barbarians used to be day and night, so we didn't know about it at first. It wasn't until it was fifty miles away from the city that he found out that his purpose was to help Zhang Lu. Generals Huo Du and Huo Jun knew that it would be difficult to resist head-on. It's too late to ask for help, so I come up with a plan! ”

"Oh? What kind of strategy can defeat 7,000 foreign warriors in an instant? Wang Xu was even more curious.

Xiao Xiao Xiao didn't dare to hesitate, and replied: "That's the case, because the people of Yangpingguan are very few, less than 1,000 households, and hundreds of families moved south to Wudu County to avoid disasters due to the war in Hanzhong, so there are even fewer people." The two generals, Huo Du and Huo Jun, drove these families to the Guannai as quickly as possible, and let them go out of the east gate on their own to the county seat of Chuyang, where they were not allowed to take anything with them except gold and silver, and promised each family to compensate for the food supply and demand for one year after the war. ”

Although the people were unwilling, the two generals forcibly did it, and it was done in an hour. At the same time, all the materials that could be burned, including food and other materials, were gathered and piled up behind the West Gate of Yangping Pass, and scattered, disguised as if they had no time to move away. After that, the west gate of Yangping Pass was wide open, and the 2,000 soldiers hid in the western city wall and houses a little farther away. ”

"At that time, the barbarians did not know what we were preparing for, and they underestimated that we only had 2,000 soldiers, so they all thought that we had abandoned the pass and fled, so they marched in from the west. Later, it was found that countless grain and grass materials were scattered on the ground, and it was chaotic in an instant. The barbarians were poor and lacked food, so they immediately fought wildly. Soon, most of the 7,000 people rushed into the city, and no one paid attention to the rest of the city. ”

At this time, the two generals Huo Du and Huo Jun gave an order, and the soldiers came out of hiding one after another, and without waiting for the other party to react, they ignited the rocket and swished out. In fact, many places of those grains and houses have been doused with fire oil, or the grease used by the people's households, but they all look at the grain and don't care about these corners, or they may think that we spilled it when we fled in a hurry! Anyway, they didn't find out, and after only two rounds of fire, the fire rose into the sky and spread rapidly. ”

"That's miserable! The city gate was already narrow, and there were houses and piles of grain and debris on both sides to block the way, and 7,000 people were crowded there and could not advance or retreat, when our two thousand crossbowmen shot again, and in a short time the barbarians were killed and wounded all over the land, and mourned all over the field. Then there was a great victory for our army, and the two generals Huo Du and Huo Jun led us to chase and kill for a while before retreating to Yangping Pass, and the fire is probably still burning until now! ”

As the little colonel slowly recounted the process with emotion, everyone listened with fascination, imagining the appearance of killing the enemy army and throwing off their armor. Wang Xu was even more excited, and when he finished speaking, he couldn't help but praise loudly: "Hahahaha...... Good! Good! That's great! Huo Du and Huo Jun were improvised, clever and clever in battle, burning Yangping, winning more with less, this battle can be called a classic, enough to record the annals of history! ”

Wang Xu's victory over Hanzhong World War is famous in history, becoming a classic offensive and defensive battle recorded in the history books, many scholars in later generations are vying to discuss, although the praise and disapproval are different, there are many places that cause criticism to future generations, but Huo Du, Huo Jun's deeds of burning Yangpingguan are recognized as the turning point of this war, it is a crucial duel between Jingzhou Military Group and Hanzhong Military Group, and it is a classic example of tactics influencing strategy and local influence on the whole.

Of course, Wang Xu didn't know the comments of later generations, he was caught in the joy brought by the victory at Yangping Pass, which alleviated the shadow of the failure of Dingjun Mountain a lot.

On the other side, Zhao Yun, who was ordered to lead troops to rescue Huang Zhong, encountered a problem later, he walked through the important town of Huangsha in the middle of the night, less than forty miles away from the Dingjun Mountain garrison. But at this time, the sky was already dark, the moonlight was even more faint and faint, and the road in front was getting narrower and narrower, and the mountains on both sides were undulating, and the ends were steep and dangerous.

This caused him to pause his march and hesitate. was worried about Huang Zhong's safety, but also worried about being ambushed by Zhang Ren in this night. The sergeant had rested on the spot, but he stood on a hill, looking south-west and was silent for a long time.

The lieutenants accompanying Zhao Yun this time were Zhou Chao and Guo Shi, these two people were surrendered by Wang Xu when he quelled the rebellion in Lingling. The Zhou Dynasty was very strategic, and had a lot of experience in mountain warfare, and after carrying out Zhao Yun's order to explore the surrounding terrain and movements, he rushed to Zhao Yun's side.

"General Zhao, the terrain around this area is too easy to set up ambushes, and we don't know the enemy's situation, so the last general thinks it's better not to act forward."

After listening to his words carefully, Zhao Yun sighed slightly, and said with some worry: "But General Huang is in danger, if it drags on until Mingchen, I am afraid that I will be entrusted by the lord!" ”

Zhou Chao understood Zhao Yun's worries, thought about it, but still stubbornly admonished: "But blocking Zhang Ren is the most important thing, if our army is defeated again, then ......"

"I know!" Zhao Yun nodded lightly, he understood everything, but he pursued the successful completion of the task, and he knew that Wang Xu valued Huang Zhong, so he hesitated, and at this moment, he was affirmed by the Zhou Dynasty, and he was also a little firmer. "Forget it, let's order the sergeant to rest on the spot, but we must spread out in the military formation, and we can fight when we stand up, just in case of accidents."

As he spoke, a gentle smile appeared on his handsome face, and he looked at Zhou Chao and said, "Zhou Chao, you can also rest, there will be a fierce battle tomorrow, and I will personally take someone to inspect it." ”

"No, the last general is willing to accompany the general!" Zhou Zhi insisted.

Zhao Yun didn't speak again, it was a tacit acquiescence, and slowly walked in the moonlight to investigate all parties, while Zhou Chao followed closely.

The night covers the earth silently, and the soft moon emanates the silver brilliance for a long time, looming, like a half-clothed beauty, mysterious, beautiful, and exuding endless temptation.

An inappropriate metaphor, if the sun represents hope, the future, the vision, and the battle. Then the moonlight may represent memories, the past, thoughts, and healing......

The sergeants lying on the ground silently enjoyed the soothing of the moonlight, soothing their thoughts of their loved ones or lovers, and soothing the scars, pain and fragility in their hearts. Slowly, with the soothing of the moonlight, the sergeants gradually fell asleep in the insect's chirping, steady breathing, and a simple demeanor, maybe they were also happy at this time!

Zhao Yun looked at them lovingly, his eyes were gentle, as if he was seeing his own relatives.

Time passed little by little, the night was deeper, Zhao Yun was still silently patrolling, his face was gradually a little tired, but the dawn was coming soon, he still had to face a fierce battle, and he also had a huge mission, and this was also the darkest time of the day, even the moonlight became more dim. This is the darkness before dawn!

Suddenly, a burst of laughter echoed through the silent wilderness, shattering the serenity of the image.

"Hahahaha! Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren has been waiting in front for a long time, but you can't even arrive, this is a rudeness, and let me look so far! ”

With this sarcastic voice, countless torches lit up on the road in the direction of Dingjun Mountain and the distant mountains on both sides.

Zhao Yun reacted extremely quickly, and when Zhou Chao was in a frightened daze, he was already roaring wildly at the top of his throat, and his magnetic voice kept echoing in the mountains.

"Enemy attack...... Enemy Attack ...... Enemy Attack ......" (To be continued......
