North of the Yellow River, west of Hanoi.

A mixed army of no more than 10,000 people entered the Taihang Mountain as soon as it crossed, and went straight to the east of the river along the southern road.

Between the marching roads, several generals who led the troops were all gathered together.

Gongsun Zhan, who was full of beard and dressed in Youzhou Beidi costume, rode his horse forward and looked to his side: "Xuande, in your opinion, can the coalition still win this battle?" ”

Xuande, naturally, is the big-eared Liu Bei.

This future emperor of Shu Han with his ears and shoulders hanging down was just a small person begging for food by Gongsun Zhan's side at the moment, and when he heard this, he immediately replied: "As long as our army can quickly cross the Ji Pass, even if we can't take Hedong when we go out of the mountains, we can force Dong Zhuo to return to the army to save him." At that time, the water was unstable, and many Allied soldiers rushed to Luoyang at the pass. ”

Encircling Wei to save Zhao, this tactic is really not new.

However, one trick is eaten all over the world, and the tactics will not become obsolete, depending on how the commander uses them.

Liu Bei is right, and it is at most a day's work to pass the road. Now that most of them are gone, the possibility of being stopped under the gate is very small.

It was also at this time that a fast horse came running from behind.

On horseback is Cao Cao, who has not yet lost his shape, although he is a little shorter, but there is no lack of heroic Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was urging the rear soldiers and horses to speed up just now, and when he came back, he happened to hear Liu Bei's two words, and said with a smile: "What Xuande said is very much in line with my wishes, Dong Zhuo and his henchman and son-in-law Niu Futun soldiers Hedong Anyi, this person is brave and unscrupulous, how can he be your opponent?" ”

It is not in vain to say that Cao Cao has been 'undercover' in Dong Zhuo for a period of time, although the assassination was unsuccessful, but it also made many of Dong Zhuo's henchmen clear.

The most important 'nest', Dong Zhuo did not hand over to the wise men and brave generals under his command, but chose his son-in-law.

seems to be safe, but Cao Cao really has a reason to look down on it.

Just after laughing, Cao Cao also became serious: "At present, what I really have to worry about is not the Hedong Army, but the former general who helped Dong Zhuo defeat Sun Jian, this person should not be underestimated." ”

"Meng De is saying that he will send troops?"

"I hope not."

Cao Cao shook his head slightly, he was actually not very sure. But the tiger prison is impregnable, and if he doesn't risk a sneak attack, wouldn't it be a joke for hundreds of thousands of coalition troops to rush to Sili?

While the three generals were silent, there were also people talking to each other at the front of the marching formation.

"You little white face, your equestrian skills are not inferior to a certain family."

Zhang Fei, who is eight feet long and has a pair of leopard eyes on his face, is looking at the white-robed young general on the side with great interest: "Such a body can also shoot a volley quickly, it's really not bad." ”

"It's overrated."

The young general looked like he was at the age of a weak crown, with a spear hanging on his horseback, and the three-stone strong bow in his hand was still trembling, and he immediately replied softly when he heard Zhang Fei's praise.

At this time, a soldier in front of him, Pegasus, ran over, dragged a small roe deer behind the horse, and said with a smile after meeting the two: "An arrow pierces the bone, Zilong is good at archery." ”

"It's just a subtle skill, and we are good at shooting from the righteous."

The white-robed young general was naturally Zhao Yun, and he responded humbly again at this moment, and then said: "Not far ahead is Jiguan, do you want to send righteous cavalry to test first?" ”

"Let's take a look first."

Cao Ren, the general of the Cao family who dragged the roe deer to the scene, nodded silently, and the three of them were the pioneers of this army of soldiers and horses.

Zhao Yun immediately turned the horse's head and summoned a team of righteous followers to immediately rush forward.

It took half an hour to ride the horse and see the pass at the end of the mountain road.

It's Keiseki!

Le Ma stopped and watched from afar, and soon a fellow villager on Zhao Yun's side said, "Brother Yun, it seems that no one is closed?" Even the gate is open. ”

"Dismount and take a closer look."

Zhao Yun raised his hand and ordered, signaling half of the people to stay and the other half to go with him.

After dismounting, Zhao Yun took the other half of the people to climb steeply ahead, and there was no need to climb too high, just get closer and a hundred meters apart.

It's just that after Zhao Yun looked at it for a while, he also felt that something was wrong.

It stands to reason that now that Si Li is in a big battle, even if Niu Fu is a fool, he should know the importance of Keiguan.

Is there no one to guard it?

"Will there be fraud?"

Listening to the doubts of his fellow villagers, Zhao Yun did not judge lightly, shook his head and said: "Go back, we will be responsible for exploring the way, and tell the truth." ”

Don't guess anything, complete it at a glance, this is Zhao Yun's advantage. When he rushed back with the news, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zhan also narrowed their eyes.

Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan didn't speak, Cao Cao touched his chin and said with a smile: "This matter is simple, and let my soldiers and horses go to investigate." ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly shook his head: "No, in case there is fraud"

Cao Cao directly interrupted his dissuasion and said, "What if there is fraud? The soldiers I recruited are brave men in Danyang, if it is really an ambush, it is not a problem to fight to the death. And the two generals can lead the elite of the northern land to forcibly seize the pass, as long as they win this pass, what is it for me Cao Mengde to lose some soldiers and horses? ”

"Brother Meng De, so spirited!"

When Gongsun Zhan heard this, he immediately clenched his fists, and Cao Cao had lost his troops in several battles at Bishui Pass, but his face still did not change.

Even a northland hero like him has to be impressed by Cao Cao's atmosphere.

After the three of them made a plan, the army began to slowly change formations.

The newly recruited Danyang soldiers of the Cao family took the lead, Bai Mayi followed behind, and the rest of the soldiers and horses pressed the formation.

Seeing this change in formation, the eyes of Zhao Yun and the three of them also changed. They may still be youngsters at the moment, but their eyesight is not bad anymore, and they all know what this arrangement means.

In particular, the leading general of this Danyang army.

is still Cao Cao's own brother, Cao Hong and Cao Zilian.

As the Danyang soldiers gradually approached the pass, everyone's attention was concentrated.

Cao Hong entered the customs first, but he was ready to act as a bait, but after entering the customs, he did not find any signs of ambush.

Man, indeed.

But not standing, all lying on the ground.

"Quick, go and tell the lord."

"This place has been captured, and someone has arrived at Keiguan one step ahead of us."

When Cao Hong said this, his face was also relieved. After all, if he can live, he still doesn't want to die so soon.

A moment later, the army slowly pulled into the pass.

Seeing that there were at least hundreds of corpses lying in the gate, Cao Cao's expressions became even more strange.

What does this mean?

Someone to help you clear the way?

Seeing that Jiguan was so inexplicably in hand, Gongsun Chan smiled and said: "It seems that God and I are waiting, and the chance of winning this time is eighty percent." ”

Liu Bei followed closely and said, "Do you want the soldiers to clean up and spend the night here tonight?" ”

"No, keep going!"

Cao Cao raised his hand to interrupt Liu Bei's suggestion, squinted his eyes and said: "I'm not waiting here just for Jiguan, now Jiguan is at my fingertips, so I should quickly march and take Hedong." ”

"The soldiers are fast, and if they are late, they will change, what Meng De said is true, let's continue to hurry!" Gongsun Zhan, the general of the Northland, immediately nodded in agreement.

Seeing that both of them said this, Liu Bei didn't say anything more.

However, the three of them didn't know that their every move at this time was actually under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes.

High in the air, Mo Xiaobai looked at the army that had passed through the pass directly, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, they chose to continue on their way." ”
