Volume 6 Respective Calculations] Chapter 321 The Offensive and Defensive Battle of Keiguan Begins-

Jiguan, which guards the main road in and out of Luoyang, has witnessed too many successes and failures, just like an old man who has experienced vicissitudes for a long time, always silently watching the Taihang Mountain and Wangwu Mountain stretching in the distance. If Keiguan could speak, this stubborn old man would definitely tell people about the situation when a young man with a hundred family members passed by in the sixth year of Guanghe.

When the frivolous young man passed through the Huguan, he improvised a poem: "The people who lead the yellow Qingcang are crazy, and the new rain and clear spring are full of sleep." If a young man is not idle, he will be high-spirited!"

Who would have thought that Zhao Xing, who was just a teenager back then, is no longer crazy, but now he is still holding Huang Qingcang, stirring the ups and downs of the Han Dynasty, and laughing at the encirclement of the army on three sides of the imperial court. Now, although Lu Zhi and the army of the middle road have been close to the Kei Pass, on the Kei Pass that can be rebuilt, Zhao Xing's four flying verses have been specially engraved on the majestic pass wall, and they still show off the style of the master of this poem to the people inside and outside the pass.

Lu Zhi, who came to observe the situation on the battlefield in person, under the escort of Zhang Fei and Gao Ran, stared at the impassable Xiongguan in the distance, and recited Zhao Xing's poem softly, and he was a little distracted for a while.

"Yide (Note 1, what do you think of Zhao Xing?)" Lu Zhi asked Zhang Fei, who was silent beside him.

"Long-term vision, xiōng open-mindedness, both civil and military, better than Huo Biyao back then!" Zhang Fei said succinctly about his views on Zhao Xing.

"Such a talent, but he can't be used by the imperial court, Shi Ye?" Lu Zhi sighed, and he didn't know if he was asking himself or everyone.

"Meng De, in the past, you fought with Zhao Xing in Luoyang City, what do you think of this person?" Lu Zhi asked Cao C-o behind him again.

"At the beginning of the day, Zhao Guochang only thought that this person was a gentleman, a young maniac, but now it seems that he is very wrong. Cao C-O unabashedly showed his recognition of Zhao Xing.

"Highway and Zhao Xing have a deep grudge, but what do you have to say?" Lu Zhi asked Yuan Shu again.

"If this thief is not eliminated, there will be no peace in the country!" Yuan Shu said with a righteous face.

"What does Wentai think about this?" Lu Zhi knew that as soon as Yuan Shu opened his mouth, he would definitely not say anything good about Zhao Xing, so after he finished venting his dissatisfaction, he asked Sun Jian with a smile.

"This is the only time I have seen it in my life, if there is no complete strategy, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky!" Sun Jian, who is already thirty-seven years old, replied in a deep voice.

"Why should Wentai grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige? With our 200,000 allied troops, no matter how dangerous the Jiguan is, how long can we stop it?" Yuan Shu retorted to Sun Jian with some displeasure.

"Since Yuan Zhoumu is so confident, why don't you show you the strength of the Danyang Male Soldiers tomorrow!" A tall and handsome young general behind Sun Jian suddenly opened his mouth to ridicule Yuan Shu.

"Who are you, can there be a difference between your words here?" Yuan Shu was furious, and chōu put out the sword in his waist and pointed at the young general who spoke behind Sun Jian and shouted angrily.

"I am Zhou Yu, a partial general under General Sun, but I told the truth, and I actually provoked Yuan Zhoumu to be so angry, the kid is here to make amends to you!" Zhou Yu saluted Yuan Shu without changing his face, and didn't pay attention to it at all.

Yuan Shu, who was very angry, was about to have a seizure, but he was choked back by Sun Jian's words: "I heard that it was Brother Ling Yuan Benchu who took the lead in the East Road Alliance, and Brother An of the Highway could be left behind?"

Sun Jian's words were ruthless! Asking Yuan Shu in front of everyone made Yuan Shu, who had always wanted to fight with his brother Yuan Shaoming, embarrassed? Sure enough, Yuan Shu was shocked and said angrily: "I will lead the army to attack Jiguan tomorrow, so I won't be squeezed by you and others!"

After the old and cunning Lu Zhi saw Yuan Shu arguing with Sun Jian's family, he pretended not to see anything, and said something else to Zhang Fei and Gao Ran there.

When Lu Zhi said this, it was equivalent to arranging the task to Yuan Shu. Even if Yuan Shu was unhappy with a hundred people in his heart, now that it was difficult to ride a tiger, he had no choice but to be a pioneer and take the lead.

The matter of attacking Keiguan tomorrow was decided, and everyone returned to their camp separately.

In Cao C-O Battalion, Heizi's face was heavy at the moment, and he was talking about Bingzhou and Zhao Xing with a group of civil and military generals such as Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Yu Ban, Li Dian, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Liu Ye.

"Today, when I look at Jiguan, my heart is like a big stone, this time I am afraid that the battle with the state is not as simple as I thought at the beginning!" Cao C-o said.

"The lord said this very much, I heard that the main general guarding the Kei Pass is Zhao Xing's second brother Xu Huang, this person is calm and decisive, Mount Tai collapsed in front and S-unchanged, the Crouching Tiger Army under his command is the most jīng sharp foot soldier in the hands of Zhao Xing, following Zhao Xing's expedition to the west for ten years, not only is he loyal, but also he is not afraid of death, and he is definitely not worse than the Taishan soldiers trained by Wen Zeyi!" said the strategist Xun You with certainty.

"Even if the soldiers of Bingzhou are superior in combat strength, after all, the strength is limited, how can they withstand the siege of our 200,000 army?" Xiahoudun asked Xun You.

"Although our coalition forces have 200,000 troops, they have different intentions and are not of the same mind. Moreover, the number of troops that could be invested before Keiguan was no more than 10,000, and the 200,000 army had no advantage in this kind of terrain. The only way is to fight a war of attrition and fill the Kei Pass with human lives, and this is the result that all forces do not want to see......" Strategist Cheng Yu pointed out the problem pointedly.

"No matter what, tomorrow we will follow the lord to observe the situation of Yuan Shu's attack on Jiguan, and then make plans. Strategist Xi Zhicai said.

"It is precisely this reason, this time let Sun Wentai's young general Zhou Yu Jī get Yuan Shu to take the lead, it is really very happy! I look at that Zhou Yu, I will be extraordinary in the future!" Cao Heizi couldn't help laughing when he thought that Yuan Shu was going to take the lead, and praised Zhou Yu by the way.

In Sun Jian's camp, everyone was also talking about today's events.

Gong Jin was so bold at that time that he actually ridiculed Yuan Highway to his face. Sun Jian said to everyone with a smile.

"Hmph, that Yuan Highway moved abnormally when he mentioned Zhao Xing, but his father just told the truth, he didn't follow it, how could this kind of person succeed!" Eighteen-year-old Sun Ce said with some anger.

"It's good for Bo Fu to know, don't be a small belly, learn from Zhao Guochang, 500,000 coalition troops besieged and merged with the state and still deal with it calmly, until now, I don't see the slightest distraction in the territory of the state, so that we can take on the big responsibility!"

Liu Yan and Liu Biao, who served as the "free guards", did not personally lead the team to Hanoi, Liu Yan appointed his generals Dong Fu and Pang Xi to report to Lu Zhi with 20,000 people, and Liu Biao appointed his generals Li Yan and Huang Zhong to join the army on the middle road with 20,000 people.

As the commander of the Jingzhou Corps, Li Yan respects the veteran Huang Zhong very much, and has to discuss with him in case of trouble. After reading the Jiguan today, he asked Huang Zhong: "Brother Hansheng, after the siege of Ruguan Jiguan, when will it be broken?"

Huang Zhong, who was already in his forties, thought for a moment and replied in a deep voice: "If the command is improper, it may not be broken; if the command is improper, it is difficult to break without losing tens of thousands of lives." ”

"What Han Sheng thinks is so similar to mine, tomorrow I will watch Yuan Shu attack Jiguan, and then we will make a calculation......" Li Yan also said with some worry.

Dong Fu and Pang Xi of the Yuzhou Corps are basically similar to other forces, and everyone wants to wait and see when they don't know the actual combat strength of the Zhenbei Army.

Note 1: Zhang Fei's character Yide, as evidenced by history, Luo Guanzhong had to change people to Yide, and portrayed Zhang Fei as a rude person who only knew how to fight, kill, and kill, but in fact, this was not the case at all. I don't know if Lao Luo and Zhang Fei have a grudge, but they portrayed a celebrity with both civil and military skills as a rough person like Dian Wei and Wen Chou.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the cultural relics unearthed from Sichuan show that Zhang Fei in the statue of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms period did not even have a beard, and his face was like a full moon, and his demeanor was gentle.

Zhang Fei in history is also a celebrity in Hebei, and he is likely to be a beautiful man with a beautiful face and a radiant spirit, and a high cultural literacy (some historical materials have recorded that Zhang Fei's hobby is to practice calligraphy, paint pen and brush figures, and is very accomplished. , Zhang Feisheng has two NVs, both of them are the queen of the Shu Han Dynasty, and their appearance is bound to be not bad.
