The Qin army suddenly appeared, and the 10,000 Qingzhou army led by Sun Guan was taken by surprise, and the army was suddenly in chaos.

At the moment when the Qingzhou army was in chaos, Lu Bu had already turned over and stepped onto the war horse, carrying Fang Tian's halberd, and rushed towards Sun Guan.

In the dark night, Sun Guan only saw a burly Qin army general rushing towards him, although he couldn't see who it was, he didn't dare to step forward to meet him, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and he actually rode his horse to escape outside the war group.

Sun Guan's escape is not unwise.

Lu Bunai is the first fierce general of Great Qin, and even Zhao Yun is not his opponent even if he fights him alone, not to mention that Wu Yong is just an ordinary Sun Guan.

It's just that his escape is undoubtedly a disaster for the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army who left the barracks.

The main general fled from the battlefield, and the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army, who were full of fighting spirit before leaving, instantly became a group of headless flies, each of them only cared about their own homes, holding their heads on the battlefield, where would there be the slightest thought of raising their blades to meet the enemy.

Five thousand Qin troops rushed towards the Cao army, which had left the barracks, and launched a massacre among the fleeing Cao troops.

At the same time, the 5,000 Qin troops who were ordered to launch a surprise attack on the Cao army's military camp had also broken through the military camp and slaughtered into the unsuspecting Cao army.

Due to the need to launch a surprise attack on the Qin army at night, Sun Guan had earlier ordered all Cao troops not to sleep, and until the raid was launched, the Cao army in the military camp must receive the soldiers who went out to fight.

This arrangement made the Cao army in the barracks be caught off guard, but he was not killed by the Qin army like a pig in his sleep.

In the chaotic barracks, the soldiers of the Cao army scattered and fled, and they were unable to form a powerful counteroffensive against the Qin army.

Only 5,000 people broke into the Cao army's barracks, and the Cao army, which was far outnumbered by them, was instantly defeated.

Riding a war horse, Lu Bu saw Sun Guan riding his horse and fled, and he also lifted Fang Tian's halberd and followed behind for a while.

Due to Sun Guan's timely escape, Lu Bu chased after him for a while, but he could only watch his back disappear into the vast night.

Reining in the war horse and looking at the direction of Sun Guan's escape, Lu Bu felt a burst of chagrin in his heart.

If his red rabbit was here at this time, Sun Guan would definitely have no possibility of escaping.

It's a pity that Chitu was left in Xuzhou City when Xuzhou was broken by Cao's army, and now although it is inquired by many parties, it has never been found.

I often think of Chitu when I am fighting, but now I am helpless to see Sun Guan fleeing, and Lu Bu's nostalgia for Chitu is even more layered.

The battle continued, the Cao army had been completely dispersed, and many Cao soldiers fled into the vast night, and under the cover of the night, they scattered and fled for their lives.

However, there were also many Cao troops, who fell under the butcher's knife of the Qin army under the pursuit of the Qin army.

It was another one-sided massacre, and it was this massacre that made Lu Bu and the Qin army under his command a little more contemptuous of the Qingzhou army they would face in the future.

Two days after Lü Bu led his army to defeat Sun Guan, a Qin army that set out from Luoyang City was also advancing in the direction of Xudu.

The leader of this Qin army was Liu Wei's brother-in-law Guan Hai.

It has been a long time since he led an army to go on the expedition, Guan Hai has long been holding back his anger, this time he has already made a decision, he must fight two victories before meeting Lu Bu.

With this mentality, after Guan Hai left Luoyang, he led the army all the way, and before he even arrived in a day, he arrived at a place called Xuanyuan Pass.

Here is close to Dengfeng, and the continuous and majestic Songshan can be clearly seen in Xuanyuan Pass.

After the Xuanyuan Pass, it is to enter the boundary of Yanzhou, only need to pass through Yangcheng again, pass through Yingchuan, turn from Yingshui to Pushui, and then you can reach the capital of Xu.

When the army entered Xuanyuan Pass, the sky was already a little dark.

Looking at the continuous shadow of Songshan Mountain in the distance, Guan Hai stopped his horse, raised an arm, and gave the order for the whole army to stop marching.

The sun had just completely set below the horizon, and the shadow of Songshan Mountain in the distance was gray, and it was very hazy at a glance.

The soldiers of the Qin army behind him had already begun to set up camp tents, but Guan Hai was still riding on horseback and looking at the surrounding environment.

It was quiet, except for the occasional flock or two of late finches flapping their wings and squeaking into the nearby forest.

There are finches flying, there must be no ambushes everywhere, the reason why Guan Hai has not dismounted yet, is just a faint feeling, a feeling that is indescribable.

has already entered the boundary of Yanzhou, and if you go further, you may encounter Cao Jun.

Guan Hai couldn't tell what kind of feeling he felt in his heart, expectation, yearning, or anything else......

Looking at the continuous mountain shadows in the distance, Guan Hai sighed softly, and finally turned over and jumped off the horse, handing over the war horse to a personal soldier who had been waiting by the side for a long time.

took the reins from Guan Hai's hand, and led the war horse away, but Guan Hai still turned his head to look in the direction of Xu Du, thinking about something.

At the same time, only more than 30 miles away from the Qin army led by Guan Hai, a Cao army of more than 20,000 people also set up camp.

The one who led this Cao army was Xiahou Yuan.

cooperated with Xiahou Yuan to lead the army, as well as Xu Chu and Guan Yu.

Xiahou Yuan led the army to a place only thirty miles away from Xuanyuan Pass, so he ordered the army to be stationed in place and sent many groups of scouts to listen to the movements west of Xuanyuan Pass.

In the main tent of Cao's camp, Xiahou Yuan was sitting in the tent, holding a book in his hand and browsing, when a soldier's voice came from outside the tent: "General Qiyu, Xuanyuan Pass has found the Qin army!" ”

The reason why he was stationed here, Xiahou Yuan considered that once he passed the Xuanyuan Pass, he would enter the boundary of Henan Yin, and it was very close to Luoyang.

When Cao's army entered the territory of Luoyang, the king of Qin would definitely raise troops in a big way to wipe out their group of men and horses.

Coming here with his army, Xiahou Yuan was ordered only to intercept the Qin army, not to attack Luoyang.

Both Cao Cao and Guo Jia knew what the consequences of attacking Luoyang would bring to them, and as long as Cao Jun dared to enter the Luoyang realm, it would completely anger Liu Wei.

The Qin army marched eastward, and Cao Cao was really not completely sure that he could stop it.

Both sides are deliberately maintaining the war in a local way, and no one is willing to break this stalemate, and this time the Qin army attacked Xudu, which was also quite risky.

Cao Cao knew very well in his heart that for the attack of the Qin army, he only needed to repel them, as for the march to Luoyang, Cao Cao did not dare to think about it, and Guo Jia did not dare to propose such a strategy.

Although he is a military general, Xiahou Yuan is Cao Cao's fellow sect, and he is by Cao Cao's side every day, and he also knows his thoughts very well.

Knowing Cao Cao's thoughts, he would not approach Xuanyuan Pass with his army, all he had to do was to intercept the Qin army in the middle of the road and repel the Qin army.

Hearing the return of his own soldiers from outside the tent, Xiahou Yuan's brows furrowed slightly.

The Qin army still came after all, and the Qin army advancing towards Xudu from the direction of Xia Cai was intercepted by the Qingzhou army led by Sun Guan, but the Qin army from Luoyang could only be stopped by the team led by him.

"General Ben knows, you should step down!" Putting the book in his hand on the low table, Xiahou Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he gave an order outside the tent.

After receiving Xiahou Yuan's orders, the soldiers responded to the news and retreated.

As soon as the soldiers retreated, Xiahou Yuan stood up and pulled out a sheepskin map from the package he was carrying with him.

Paper was already popular in this era, but most of the maps drawn by marching and fighting were still made in sheepskin.

The reason for using sheepskin is very simple, compared to paper, although sheepskin is very expensive, it is much superior to paper in terms of waterproofing and corrosion.

During the march, all kinds of climatic conditions could be encountered, and maps drawn on paper would become a pulp of pulp once soaked in water, which was much less preserved than parchment maps.

Unfolding the map on the desktop, looking at the place where the terrain was marked on the map, Xiahoudun's brows were always tightly wrinkled.

The only way for the Qin army to intercept the Qin army was to hold the pass that it must pass through and attack the Qin army when it could not be deployed.

Just as he was looking at the map, the curtain was suddenly lifted, and a cold wind poured into the tent.

The cold wind poured into the tent, and the light of the oil lamps lit in the tent shook violently under the wind.

The flames danced, and the light and shadow swayed, which actually added a little weirdness to the atmosphere in the tent.

Feeling that the curtain was being lifted, Xiahou Yuan raised his head and glanced at the curtain, only to see Xu Chu and Guan Yu enter the tent one after the other.

"General!" As Xiahou Yuan's deputy general, the two entered the tent, first arched at him with their fists, Xu Chu said to Xiahou Yuan angrily: "The Qin army has come, and the two of them came to ask the general, how to deal with it?" ”

Looking up at the two, Xiahou Yuan's brows were tightly locked, and he was silent for a moment before pointing to the map and saying to them: "General Ben just looked at the map, although the area around Xuanyuan Pass is dangerous, but there is no suitable place for ambushes, we are waiting to engage the Qin army, I am afraid that we must find a pass and intercept the way of the Qin army!" ”

Whether there is an ambush or not, Xu Chu doesn't care, he can't ambush the ambush, for Xu Chu, there is even some faint worth looking forward to.

With a body of martial arts, being able to fight with the enemy generals with a knife and a gun on a war horse is the battle that Xu Chu wants most.

"That's great!" Striding to Xiahou Yuan's side, looking down at the map, Xu Chu said to Xiahou Yuan: "How about leading the army to intercept the Qin army?" ”

"General Xiahou!" As soon as Xu Chu's words fell, Guan Yu, who entered the tent with him, hugged his fists and said to Xiahou Yuan: "Duke Cao treats a certain kindness like a mountain, and there is nothing to repay, I am willing to be the vanguard of the general to defeat the Qin army, and I hope that the general will allow it!" ”

First turned his head to look at Xu Chu, and then raised his eyes to look at Guan Yu, Xiahou Yuan pondered for a moment, and said to Guan Yu: "Since Yun Chang is asking for battle, Yun Chang will lead the army to intercept the Qin army!" The key to this battle is to hope that Yun Chang will kill the army! ”
