Chapter 573 - Death Battle!

"General, the current situation.... Is it really that dangerous? ”

"You don't need to think about it, just do it..."Huo Jun didn't seem to want to say anything, so he had to turn around and leave after giving the order directly.

But before he could move his steps, he was grabbed by someone, and he saw a pair of eyes full of horror.

"I'm waiting... Can't you keep this place? Though... Although we don't have any strong cities.

But I'm not unprepared.

Besides, the mountain road is so narrow that it is impossible to attack with a large army.

Moreover, the general has been prepared for a long time during this time, and our camp and fort are strong enough..."

As a deputy general temporarily transferred to Huo Jun's command, Xue Yong, the son of the famous scholar Xue Lan, really couldn't accept the idea he guessed.

But he was just talking... I can't even talk anymore.

He is not a fool, he knows very well that these things are not only them, but Cao Jun also knows them, and they know even better.

They also knew that if they couldn't be broken, if they weren't completely sure, then next, these Cao troops wouldn't want to return to Luoyang alive.

There is so much preparation, but they are not really perfect, they are not really concerned before.

And these, in the eyes of the Cao Jun who suddenly attacked, in front of those terrifying Cao Jun elites, I am afraid it is just a joke.

Looking at Xue Yong, whose eyes were full of horror in front of him, Huo Jun finally only took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it, revealing a relaxed smile at the same time.

"Don't think about it so much.

There is not much we can do, at this time, the lord is already seizing all the time to straighten out the troops and horses, and he still needs time.

And that's not all.... General Guan's time is running out, and the lord took the military advisor and others back to Jingzhou just to visit General Guan!

Besides, Nanyang has been arranging for a long time now.

If this time... If we evacuate at this time, it will not only put General Zhao Yun and them in danger.

It will make all the previous arrangements of the lord come to naught.

Therefore.... Even if we want to evacuate, we can't do it, because it won't be a waste of all our efforts, but a complete inadversity.

It doesn't matter if we wait for you to lose, but the whole Nanyang is still rotten.

The current Nanyang is no longer in danger to defend, and it is also difficult for Shangyong to quickly deploy troops to support.

Jingzhou seems to be safe now, but in fact, it is also a two-sided enemy, if the elite army of the Cao thief is allowed to break directly into the territory of Nanyang, then there is really no chance at all.

The opportunity that the lord finally gets, as long as we hold on, then we can let this situation continue.

As long as the lord can swallow those soldiers and horses and the people, Jingzhou can be replaced again.

When the time comes... It's not that the lord can't go any further!

Such a great opportunity, I can't just lose it! ”

Huo Jun's words made everyone couldn't help but fall silent, and even Xue Yong stopped saying a word now.

They are all old men who have followed Liu Bei for many years, and the situation in the world has long been clear over the years, and everyone is not a fool.

Although Huo Jun kept saying that Liu Xuande might go further in the future, everyone really heard their hearts.

But who is not a human spirit here, and who can not see the truth clearly.

Liu Bei.... It's been over for a long time!

What about Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, who are known as Wolong and Phoenix Chicks?

What about Guan Yunchang of Megatron Huaxia?

What can Zhang Fei of the three armies of the brave champions do?

None of them can change the current situation, their lord Liu Xuande has already reached the final stage, and they have no road.

But who can be blamed for this?

Jiangdong went through three generations, and Sun Wentai became famous in Jiangdong when he started, and then got the help of the Wu family in Wu County.

When Sun Wentai fought in the south and the north, their lord became a fugitive because he couldn't take the bribe and didn't want to take it.

The princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Cao Mengde was in the world early, issued a text, Sun Wentai won the world, and with the help of Yuan Shu's troops, grain and grass fought from the south to the north.

Because their lord did not have support, he could only continue to fight by the side of his classmate Gongsun Zan.

Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, Cao Mengde was based in the Central Plains, and their lord had just had those people... Fame ten years ago!

There was no family endorsement for him, no strong support from the wealthy family, and even the division commander never mentioned his name and ability.

It's as if I've never seen him before....

He doesn't even have a good look, and he can't even find a good father-in-law....

This is their lord, the current lord of Jingzhou, Liu Xuande.

In this terrible world, no one knows how Liu Xuande got to this point step by step with his own strength.

All they know is .... There is a person named Liu Xuande in this world, and in this era of rampant wealthy families, he has come out of his own way.

And for this scene, whether it is Huo Jun, Xue Yong, Zhuge Kongming, Pang Shiyuan, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Wei Wenchang, they are all willing to pay the last drop of blood for Liu Bei.

For the sake of Liu Bei's illusory glimmer of hope....

After a period of silence, Huo Jun looked at the mountain road outside Wubao, and just spoke to everyone quietly.

It seems to be persuading them, and it seems to be persuading itself.

"Since things have come to this point, then there is no need for me to be more cautious and work hard before regretting it.

Now the only thing I have to do is to buy enough time for the lord.

As long as the lord takes the lead in eating the soldiers and horses in his hands, he will cut out the thieves who take advantage of the troubled waters to fish in the troubled waters, and then collect the soldiers and horses in Haidusk and other places.

After that, we can directly kill the soldiers and horses into the Central Plains and join General Zhao Yun, and at the same time, we can also get sufficient reinforcements.

Only when that time comes, will we have more chances to turn defeat into victory..."

Huo Jun's voice was a little melodious and a little resentful, but it was full of firmness for the second time, so that everyone else present couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"General...."

"The herald ordered the army to stand by and hold on to the fort without retreating.

Other than that... Until we can't hold on anymore, don't tell the lord the true situation here! ”

Huo Jun didn't want to say anything more, so he directly ordered to forcibly interrupt Xue Yong's words, and at the same time set the tone of this big battle.

Fight to the death without saying a word!

It's just that Huo Jun's order this time really made Xue Yong puzzled, and it also attracted everyone's doubts and opposition.

"If the general wants to defend to the death, we are not greedy for life and afraid of death.

But now that the situation here has reached such a situation, Cao Jun is coming, how can he not tell the lord?

Why can't you tell the lord! ”

"What do you think would happen if I had waited for me?"

"Naturally, the lord has been prepared for a long time!"

"Is it just prepared?

Do you think that with the character of the lord, you will sit back and watch us being slaughtered by the Cao army, but you will sit back and watch the hundreds of people near Nanyang and us under the Cao thief soldiers?

Ben will not know what the thief will do in Nanyang, but Ben will also know.....

He Cao thief army came to attack, since it was a desperate bet, he would definitely not abide by any rules.

The other soldiers and horses are just that, when will the soldiers and horses of the Cao thief be kind?

If you really do something in Nanyang, do you plan to let the lord pretend not to know, or do you plan to make the lord as desperate as the little thief?

If someone has to bear such a killing, it shouldn't be the lord!

Ben will not say, this sin is the soldiers and horses under the command of Ben and the Cao thief! ”

"....." Xue Yong thought of many reasons, but he never thought of this one.

As the saying goes, mercy is not in charge of the army, and it is the most taboo for the general, and he is afraid and hesitant.

But Xue Yong really couldn't imagine why Huo Jun, who was obviously not the top talent, was always so sensible, and his sanity was a little ruthless....

Ruthlessness to all!

In the end, Xue Yong was only silent when he heard this, and after being silent for a long time, he could only sigh, "If that's the case, how should we defend this place?" ”

Xue Yong knows that he can't change it, since he can't change it, let's change it and join in....

But once again, his question did not get the answer he wanted.

"Just now, Ben said... General Xue, didn't you understand?

Now if we wait to keep it.... It must not be defended. ”

“..... A glimmer of hope..."

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven!"

Huo Jun was helpless at this time, and after shaking his head for a while, he still took out the map and put his finger in a certain position of the map.

"Ben Jiang still means that, guard, we will definitely not be able to hold it.

So the only thing we can do now is to delay as much time as possible.

The army stays here, this dock fort continues to be reinforced, and we still have a lot of materials in the dock fort, don't feel distressed, all of them will be used!

At the same time, using the barracks and forts as the foundation to block the army of Cao thieves is what I rely on.

Other than that.... We must send a lone army directly into the mountain path.

You see, this mountain road is steep, and it can be said that it is the greatest geographical advantage for us.

Therefore, Ben will feel hungry, and as long as we are stationed in the mountains, we can attack the flank of Cao's army.

This can also relieve enough pressure for the dock fort.

Of course, this is not without problems ....

If not everyone in the Cao thief army suddenly lost their minds.

Ben felt that they would definitely let an elite force block this lone army, so that they could relieve the pressure on their army and avoid being constantly harassed!

But in this way, they can be regarded as blocking their own soldiers and horses.

After all... This mountain road is so wide, and it is not so easy to march on the already narrow mountain road.

And if they want to set up camp, then the follow-up aid soldiers and horses don't want to pass well..."

After Huo Jun finished speaking, the gloom on his face became more serious, and Xue Yong, who was on the side, couldn't help laughing.

"I said General Huo Jun, didn't you just say the truth, why did you change your mind again?

Look at your face?

Don't you think there is anything wrong with this army? ”

Huo Jun looked at Xue Yong in front of him, and the gloom on his face became more serious.

At the same time, he also said the most important sentence directly.

"There is no problem with this army, but.... This army is destined not to come back alive. ”

"......" Xue Yong looked at the general in front of him, he knew that Huo Jun was ready to die here at this time.

After a long silence, Xue Yong knelt directly in front of Huo Jun.

On his face, he still has that smile that is extremely relaxed.

"What does the last general think is the matter, isn't that it?

General Huo Jun, the last general is invited to fight! ”

"You..."

"My father Xue Lan was dissatisfied with the slaughter of the Cao thief, and he turned against the Cao thief and was finally killed by him.

Before he died, he entrusted the last general to the command of Xuande Gong, so that the lord saved the life of the last general.

Over the years, Xuande Gong has been quite kind to the last general, and today he also asks the general to give the last general a chance to repay his kindness! ”

Compared with the previous relaxation, Huo Jun now has become more silent and serious.

And that Huo Jun, looking at Xue Yong who was kneeling on the ground at this time, also had a heavy face that could not be dispersed for a long time.

In the end, Huo Jun's mouth opened slightly, and after being silent for a long time, he finally sighed silently.

"I heard that your father was also one of the eight handsome people in the world back then, and I hope you don't live up to your father's prestige.

After this battle... Your son and heir will surely be well treated. ”

"The lord is benevolent, the last general is extremely relieved, go today, and please take care of the general!"

After Xue Yong finished laughing, he walked out directly with his head held high, and his steps were firm, without a moment's pause.

It was as if he had gone out not to die, but to a simple banquet.

Soon, a group of soldiers and horses had gathered in this dock fort, and you then left quickly under the leadership of Xue Yong.

Running directly to the mountain road, their time is running out, they must hurry, seize all the time....

They didn't have time to prepare too much grain and straw in a hurry, so they only carried dry food for a few days, and then rushed to the mountain road before the arrival of the army of Cao thieves of the Luoyang Imperial Court.

It is also correct not to bring enough grain and grass, Xue Yong knows that his own is not good, even if he brings more grain and grass, he may not be able to hold on for too long.

Rather than letting these grains and grass end up in the hands of Cao Thief's soldiers and horses, or needing to ignite his own fire to make his heart ache.

It's better not to bring it at all, and when you're done eating, then fight to the death!

Worst of all, they can still eat the enemy!

After thinking about this, Xue Yong once again quickened his pace, and then looked for a dangerous place to stand on a high ground, waiting for the Cao army sent by the Luoyang Imperial Court to come.

At the same time, after waiting for the passage of the Cao army's front army, he directly attacked the Chinese army and blocked its army from continuing to penetrate.

This is Huo Jun's plan, and this is what Xue Yong wants to do...

The news on the other side was also quickly sent to Wei Yan, who was stationed in Wancheng, Nanyang.

and the Pang family who was behind Huo Jun, as well as Feng Xi and Zhang Nan who moved to Nanxiang.

Huo Jun personally wrote to the generals and told everyone what he meant, and he wanted to save his reputation and soldiers for Liu Bei.

There were some things Huo Jun didn't say, he had a hunch that this time it was the Cao clan who planned to kill a force to establish power...

And their way of life has never been whether Liu Bei can win the Central Plains and Zhao Yun before and after, their way of life lies in whether Liu Xie wants them to live!

If Liu Xie wants them to live... Then troops will be sent to rescue them.

So as to continue to maintain this situation in the world.

But if Liu Xie doesn't want to... Why did Cao's attack appear so quickly this time, why did it appear so coincidentally, why did it appear from between Liu Xie's Chinese army and Zhao Yun's partial division....

These coincidences were not even coincidences in Huo Jun's eyes, they were premeditated plans a long time ago.

But he didn't know if it was his own random speculation, so he told Wei Yan and the others about this, and he hoped... Preserve Liu Bei's vitality and soldiers.

In this way, maybe Liu Bei still has a chance of life, even if he surrenders... Liu Bei is not without opportunities.... Get a higher position out.

After Huo Jun arranged these, he finally wrote a letter to his family.

In other words, he wrote a suicide note and left his suicide note to the old servant who had followed him for many years, and asked him to wait until he died in battle here, and then hand it over to the lord Liu Bei.

As for his son Huo Yi, he didn't say a word.

As Xue Yong said before, Liu Bei Rende will definitely not let their heirs lose.

Even if there is a problem .... That's also the life of their Huo family, it's not good!

In the middle of October of the twenty-sixth year of Jian'an, the Luoyang Imperial Court sent troops to attack again, and Guo Jia, the military division under the command of the Cao family, and Xu Chu, the veteran general of the Cao family, went through many ups and downs and walked for half a month.

Finally, from between the damned Liu Xie's army and Zhao Yun's division, he climbed the mountain alive and was scared.

From the muddy and winding mountain road.... Slowly walked out!

The difficulties and tribulations along the way made Guo Jia, who was already in very bad health, even more tired and uncomfortable, and even Xu Chu, who was stained with sweat from the iron beating, couldn't help but have the idea of wanting to give up several times.

He was really worried that Guo Jia was not here directly....

However, in the end, it was under Guo Jia's desperate persuasion that he continued to persevere.

Of course, he can't insist on it, and this time... Cao Ang let Guo Jia be the master, and Xu Chu also had to listen to him.

As for the other generals .... That's just it!

At this time, the food and grass in their army was already seriously insufficient, and as for the soldiers under their command, it was not enough to describe fatigue.

Anyway, they also dispatched tens of thousands of troops this time, and finally fell into such a situation before the battle began, which is really worthy of it.... Life and death are only in a moment!

But Guo Jia's face at this time... But there was a smile!
