Outside the Hanya Pass is the last great plain between the Kuhan and the Kanto region, and it is also the natural decisive place of the Kanto and Kansai regions.

On the west side of the Guanwai Plain is the majestic Hangu Pass, followed by the Long Kuhan Road, and on the north side of the Great Plain is the big river, which is naturally blocked.

It can be said that in this war, the Kansai side occupied an excellent geographical advantage. They are 40,000 elite soldiers under the pass, and the big river on the left is narrowly victorious, and behind them is the Xiongguan can be defended, so it can be said that they can advance and retreat freely.

However, there is still a hidden worry in the Kwanti Army, that is, the stream that passes through the Hangu Pass divides the Kansai army under the pass into two parts, although the stream is not deep, but if the two sides support, there will be a bit of trouble.

According to the information that Zhang Chong has obtained so far, the Battle of Donggu that broke out on March 9 was initiated by the Kwantung Army.

The main force of 56,000 soldiers was dispatched by Huangfu Song into three routes, one was the forward force led by Zhu Jun, which was roughly arranged on the west side of Donggu Pavilion, and was only two miles away from the enemy's army. All the way is the Chinese army led by Huangfu Song himself, entrenched in Donggu Pavilion. The last road was the rear army led by the former Guangluxun, now the cavalry general Ding Gong.

Huang Fu Song spent a lot of time on scheduling, he trusted Zhu Jun very much, although when the Yellow Turban was suppressed in Yuzhou, the two were a little dirty, but Huang Fu Song still did not doubt Zhu Jun's ability, so he took it as a pioneer.

But for the current cavalry general Ding Gong, Huangfu Song has only one evaluation, which is a straw bale.

Ding Gong is from the Ding family of Peiguo in Yuzhou, not only one of the promoters of the Henan rebellion, but also friendly with the current Sikong Xu, which can be said to be a person who can be recognized and accepted by both factions, so he was specially selected into the army to balance his Huangfu Song.

Huangfu Song knew that it was difficult for him to be truly accepted by the Kanto clan as a Kansai person, but he had no choice, he made a wrong decision at the lowest point in his life, so that he could only go all the way to the dark on the Kanto side.

To his relief, the Kansai side did not liquidate his clan because of this. It's just unfortunate that these descendants will be thrown into battle to fight him.

This is helplessness, Rao is a person like Huangfu Song, who is already a captain, has too many things that cannot be changed.

So although he knew that Ding Gong was a straw bag, he also knew that this person was here to balance himself, or to attack. But Huangfu Song still put Ding Palace behind.

This is the confidence and determination of Huangfu Song, the commander, who is responsible for this battle and the soldiers under him.

Straw bales can be used to share the work, but please stay away from the battlefield.

After Huangfu Song's side was dispatched, the Kansai Army on the opposite side sent an envoy, a young man named Fa Zheng.

Watching him talk eloquently in front of him, Huangfu Song seemed to see his former self.

But the faces of the generals present were not as indifferent as Huangfu Song, just because this little boy named Fa Zheng had clamored before the war that he would not leave any prisoners. So there is only one ending for all of them present, and that is death.

Huangfu Song didn't think that this was called Fazheng's loss of mind, he knew that this must be a decision negotiated by the Kansai side.

However, he Huangfu Song is the same, there are no prisoners left in this battle, this is a real game of life and death.

The generals were about to sacrifice Fa Zheng's flag, but Huang Fu Song waved his hand and let Fa Zheng go back, with Huang Fu Song's words:

"In the past, I robbed, now I am an enemy, let us fight to the death in this vast plain, so that the world will not shed any more blood."

Yang Biao, the commander of the Kansai side, got this sentence and was silent for a long time.

In the end, the war drums were beaten on both sides almost at the same time, and eighty-one cowhide drums were beaten on each side, and the heavens and the earth trembled.

As soon as the battle began, Zhu Jun, the vanguard commander of the Kwantung side, ordered the whole army to pounce on the enemy's defense line under the pass.

Zhu Jun, who was already gray, took the lead, personally moving Daxu forward and directly commanding the front-line battle.

Zhu Jun has aged very fast in the past two years, and in fact, he was coerced by Henan's powerful forces and made his heart tormented. He received a lot of favor from Liu Hong, even though he could convince himself with the reason that the chaos was for the sake of the Qing monarch and the eunuch to save the world, but it still couldn't change the fact that he was a second minister.

So Zhu Jun's frivolity at the moment is more like

It is a kind of paralysis, and only in the world of blood and sand can he forget those shameful things.

So there is this old man who talks about juvenile madness, leading Huang Huang on the left and Qingcang on the right, and thousands of horses roll Pinggang.

There is a saying that the military power between the Kanto and Kansai is actually indistinguishable from each other.

Although the Kwantung soldiers fought against the Qiang people all the year round and had stronger individual skills, the Kwantung Army they faced off against was built with the main force of the Northern and Southern Armies as the core, and they were equipped with many strong teams in the Kwantung region, so the war between the two sides fell into anxiety.

But the turning point of the war was not long in coming.

When the Kwantung Army was dispatching its troops, a northeast wind suddenly blew, directly raising a cloud of sand and dust.

Zhu Jun, who was in the front line of the overseer, immediately seized this opportunity and ordered the archer to rain all the arrows in the quiver.

The officers on the front line of the Kwantani Army were overturned by this large wave of arrows, and immediately ordered the archers of their own army to fight back.

But they misjudged the distance between the two sides.

Because the equipment of the Han armies on both sides is almost the same, the bows and arrows used by each are also of approximate range. Therefore, the military officials in Kansai subconsciously felt that if the other side could shoot themselves, then I could also shoot the other party.

So, under the orders of the commanders of the various formations, the shooters on the Kansai Front also frantically fought back. But because of the northeast wind, these arrows did not hit Zhu Jun's army at all, but Zhu Jun's archers picked up a large number of arrows and shot back again.

At the same time, Zhu Jun ordered Zhang He to lead his top soldiers to take advantage of the chaos to assault the enemy formation.

Zhang He put on three layers of armor, and then ran wildly with a knife and axe with a group of wrestlers who operated mallets and big axes. Especially Zhang He is even more bloody and angry.

He wanted to avenge his brother Zhang Chao, he didn't know that Zhang Chao died in the power struggle of the upper echelons of the Kanto region, Zhang He only knew that it was these Kansai barbarians who killed his beloved brother.

Zhang He already has the courage of 10,000 people, and at this moment, he is angry and fighting, and he is even more invincible. Soon after he scuttled into the Kansai camp, he beheaded the commander of the first battalion.

The Kwantsan Army's position became looser and looser, and finally when Zhu Jun pressed up with the last preparations, the Kwanti Army finally retreated.

They tried to cross the stream to the friendly forces to the south, but this time the small shallow river became the burial place for most of the Kwantai Army's officers.

The Kwantung Army, which had been killed from behind, did not miss any opportunity to kill the enemy, and there were tragically dead Kansai officials lying everywhere on the stream, and the stream at this moment was clearly red.

Behind the chaos, Zhu Jun watched his son-in-law chase after him under the big curtain, he took a deep breath and said with a smile:

"Go, send a letter to the Emperor Fu Marshal in the back, and say that we have won, let him attack the enemy on the south bank of the stream."

The soldiers on the side laughed when they heard this, and then led the order and rushed back to the marching shogunate of the Higashiya Pavilion in the rear.

But soon, more and more Kwantung troops stopped fighting, and they turned back one after another in the discussion of robes, and saw the black clouds rushing to the sky behind them, and their hearts were uneasy.

Zhu Jun also saw it, the black smoke came from the east bank of the valley, what was it that burned?

The black smoke that Zhu Jun saw was also seen by Huangfu Song, who was in the Zhongjun Station in Donggu Pavilion at this time, he was first puzzled, and then he couldn't believe it, and asked Yuan Shao on the side:

"Originally, you told me truthfully, where is our baggage now."

The current Yuan Shao is with the army as the commander of the Chinese army, and although he is not in charge, he is responsible.

At this moment, Yuan Shao's face was also pale, he thought about it, and said what he knew:

"Marshal, when Shao crossed the valley with the army, the baggage was under the jurisdiction of the Ding Palace of the rear army at that time, and it was still on the east bank of the valley at that time."

Huangfu Song gasped, and turned to the following angrily:

"Do any of you know where the weight is now?"

Just when the big tent of the Chinese army was as quiet as a cicada, Zhu Jun's meritorious service made the soldiers rush in with joy.

He did not perceive the tension in the tent, but still reported the good news:

"Great Marshal, our front army has already defeated the enemy on the north bank of the stream, just wait for you to send troops, Great Marshal."

But after this person finished speaking, he didn't see the reply from above for a long time, so he was puzzled

of raised his head.

At this time, he saw that Huangfu Song's face was terrifyingly dark.

He didn't know what was happening, and it was at this time that another soldier came in.

As soon as Fang came in, he knelt on the ground and said tremblingly:

"Da~Dashuai, the baggage on the north bank of Gushui was burned by the Kansai cavalry~."

At this time, Huangfu Song breathed a sigh of relief and asked the later commander:

"Oh, what is your General Ding doing at the moment?"

This soldier is much more intelligent than Zhu Jun's soldier, and he noticed that the commander seemed to be on the verge of anger, so he hurriedly replied:

"Back to Dashuai, Ding Shuai is organizing troops to rescue the heavy grain and grass, and when I came, I had already defeated the enemy's cavalry." ap.

Huangfu Song was speechless for a long time, and finally sighed and ordered:

"The whole army retreats to the north bank of the valley."

Then he turned his head to Zhu Jun's order and said:

"When you go back, just say that I will let your family Zhu Shuai after the palace to protect the retreat of the whole army."

At this time, the soldiers realized it, nodded, and went back to their main formation.

Huangfu Song knew that this was a bit unacceptable to Zhu Jun, of course he could bet.

Even if the baggage in the rear is burned, with the reserves of the accompanying army, it will not be a problem to support it for three or five days. Now that the war has made great progress, Huangfu Song can take a gamble, that is, let the whole army launch a general offensive and defeat the enemy outside the pass in one fell swoop.

But Huangfu Song knew that the risk of doing so was too high, and he did not forget that there was a Xiongguan in front of him. He was not sure that he would be able to break the test in five days.

And at that time, what will happen to the army without food, he Huangfu Song didn't dare to think about it at all.

It is also true that the greatest enemy of an army is always disease and hunger. After all, how many kills with a knife and axe?

So he didn't dare to bet like this, anyway, now there is an advantage in front, and it's okay to retreat now. It's just that when he thinks of the huge baggage, he can't help but sigh.

In order to gather this batch of supplies, Kanto has done its best. After this batch of materials was burned, there were no more materials in Kanto to support another expedition to the west in a short period of time.

It seems that this battle between the East and the West is really going to drain the blood of the Han family.

When Huangfu Song was still worried about the future situation, he didn't know that his decision had hurt Zhu Jun.

When the commander passed back the order of the Chinese army to Zhu Jun, Zhu Jun was stunned.

This amount of information is too much, how can the baggage be on the east bank of the valley? How did it get burned? How does the enemy know the address of his side? What is the backroad soldier doing in charge of baggage safety?

But when he knew that Huangfu Song was going to withdraw the army, he would also let him be in charge of the palace.

Zhu Jun can understand, but understanding is understanding, but he can't do it.

Why?

As long as you look at the current situation on the battlefield, you will know that the withdrawal of troops at this moment is a.

At this moment, Zhu Jun's army of more than 15,000 was all scattered on the battlefield, and there was no organization to speak of. And what he Zhu Jun can control and dispatch is the two hundred cavalry under his own command.

How did you ask him to organize the retreat?

He didn't dare to sing gold at all, because as soon as he knocked on it, the other side immediately knew that they were going to run and would inevitably fight back. When the time comes, a big victory will inevitably turn into a big defeat.

But what if you don't withdraw? The main force behind is already about to run, and he will definitely die if he stays here.

So at this time, Zhu Jun made an unexpected decision, he did not withdraw his troops, but continued to let the Chinese army beat the drums.

After that, he quietly let the two hundred Chinese army escorts go around the rear, most of the flags, and raise more dust, pretending to be the main force of the Chinese army to attack.

Zhu Jun's actions really made Yang Biao, who was in charge of the command in Guancheng, misjudge.

He knew that Dong Zhuo had sent cavalry to attack the enemy's baggage, and one of the leading soldiers was called Hu Zhen and the other was called Lu Bu. Especially Na Lu Bu, Yang Biao can't forget it after seeing it.

He is nine feet tall and a first-class warrior.

Yang Biao

After learning that this Lu Bu was a military official of King Qin in the south of Wuyuan County, most of the Bingzhou troops in the south were stationed in Hedong, and then they were all captured by Dong Zhuo with an edict.

That Lu Bu was subordinate to Dong Zhuo at that time.

Therefore, after Yang Biao learned of this situation, he immediately transferred Lu Bu and other state troops into the camp as the commander of the camp, but he was directly rushed into the camp by Dong Zhuo with Qiang Huqi, and Dong Zhuo also shouted:

"I, Dong Zhuo's soldier, life is my person, death is my ghost. Just because you, Yang Biao, are also worthy of robbing people with me?"

As soon as this incident happened, Yang Biao's prestige in the army was reduced again.

And Yang Biao also endured Dong Zhuo because he took care of the overall situation.

It was also because of Yang Biao's forbearance that Dong Zhuo sent troops to attack the Kwantung soldiers later, and he won this battle.

But now looking at the situation under the pass, the other side actually wants to attack?

Yang Biao thought about it and decided to make all the departments stick to it.

After all, time is on their side, and the initiative to attack falls to the enemy's calculations.

In this way, Zhu Jun made a gesture for a long time, and when he saw that the other party really hit the plan, he also ordered the withdrawal of the army.

It's just that when Zhu Jun led the army to retreat, they were attacked by the Bingzhou cavalry, and this time there was no accident and they were defeated.

In the end, there were only more than 8,000 soldiers and nearly 7,000 people who were trapped on the south bank with Zhu Jun, and were finally captured by the Bingzhou army.

When Zhu Jun watched as sixty-eight officials were dragged out by the state soldiers, and then executed across the river, Zhu Jun fell ill.

And the second battle between the east and the west ended dramatically.
