By dawn, the Wei army camp had calmed down.

Smoke rose from the charred tents, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt and blood, as if whispering about the terrible battle of the previous night.

There were corpses of Wei soldiers everywhere, and they lay quietly on the ground, never to get up again.

The armor of these Wei soldiers was stained with blood and dust, and their expressionless faces revealed the serenity of death.

And those captured Wei soldiers, their eyes have become empty and dull.

Now they sat on the ground, as if they had not recovered from the fright of last night.

When Ma Dai saw this scene, his face was already smiling.

These Wei troops were deliberately driven over by Zhang Bao, just to deceive the Longguan.

Last night, the Han army chased the north and chased all the way to Huangshui City, the Wei army did not deploy many troops in Huangshui City, and under the impact of the rout, the Wei army defenders who defended the city had no will to fight, and they surrendered directly.

was glared at by Ma Dai, although Ma Cheng was not convinced, he had to stop saying a word.

"Hiccup~~~"

To put it simply, it's easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Cao Zhang's face also showed emotion.

This must be the conspiracy of that Liu Gonghei!

No matter what kind of conspiracy it is, in short, I can't see this envoy, and your conspiracy and tricks of Duke Liu can't succeed, right?

Guo Huai said with an ugly face: "General, the envoy is the Marquis of Yanling. ”

How many Wei troops are there in Longxi?

Cao Zhen's old base is only 50,000 people.

"Brother, why don't you set things right? If he can make a war exploit this time, his majesty must not be guilty of the crimes his brother has committed. ”

Seeing that there was still half a roast sheep in the hall that had not been eaten, Cao Zhang stepped forward, grabbed the roast sheep and ate it.

Facing the insults of the rout soldiers under the city, Hao Zhao's heart was as calm as stopping water, he knew that in the war, any slightest panic could lead to the collapse of the overall situation.

"When your confidence is gone, there may be a way to live, if you dare to break the pass, there will be no forgiveness!"

"What is the matter with the envoy here?"

Now 30,000 people are gone, which means that Cao Zhen's main force is gone.

As the Han army's pursuit got closer and closer, the hundreds of routed soldiers became more and more panicked, and they scurried around the city like headless flies.

If you don't take advantage of the situation now, it will be even more difficult to take it when the Wei army reacts.

He treats them all equally.

Whether it is hard bones or soft bones, if you can use them, they are good bones.

Cao Zhen is very relaxed and in a good mood.

"You are a general, aren't you sincere in accepting it? I was still thinking about Wei Guo in my heart, how could I increase his ambition and destroy my prestige at this time? ”

The defender of Huangshui City said with a wry smile: "When Hao Zhao first arrived at Longguan, he said to Cao Zhen, the general of the Shang army: The location of the Great Earthquake Pass is remote, there is a lack of wells and springs, and the river water is drawn far away; The second bridge is close to the stream, relying on the narrow valley, and has the potential of the fortress; It is proposed to relocate the site to the vicinity of the Second Bridge. Cao Zhen adopted Hao Zhao's plan and set up a new pass, which was called the Han Pass.

Soon.

In the long run, the morale of Longguan will definitely collapse!

"Build a village in situ and wait for it to mess up."

With these grains and grasses, Ma Dai was able to hold on to the Yulu defense line and trap Cao Zhen in Yongxian County.

When he was a child, he was often taken care of by Cao Zhang's brother.

For example, he is now feasting on roasted whole sheep.

Cao Zhang's identity is too special.

This world is so wonderful!

Yongxian County.

"Your Majesty once said that Hao Zhao has the ability to defend the city, saying that he is one of the few city defenders in the world, I didn't believe it before, but now after listening to your words, I Zhang Bao believes it."

He is the younger brother of His Majesty today, and he is a rebel, and if he wants to kill, he is not a courtier who can kill him.

Now, between them, there are two opposing camps.

Zhang Bao is not stupid and will not joke with the lives of his elite soldiers.

There was already a sadly thick barrier between the two of them

"The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is a rare male lord in the world, Yongxian County can't hold it, why don't Zidan descend?"

Han army envoy?

Cao Zhen was stunned for a moment.

Or is it said.

Then Liu Gonghei really thought that he Cao could really be persuaded to surrender?

Cao Zhang shook his head and said with a smile: "I know Zihuan's temperament best, so there is no need to say this." ”

His own brother, he doesn't know what kind of person he is?

Even if he took Guanzhong, his brother would not spare him.

"Collect the grain and grass in the Wei army camp and transport it to Yu Elk City."

Your Majesty once said: No matter how strong a city is, it can collapse from within.

He must not return to Longxi again.

It is difficult to win unless 100,000 people.

Cao Zhang said calmly: "The camp of the Wei army has been broken by the Han army, and the Han army has captured more than 10,000 Wei troops, killed the Wei army to get 6,000 heads, and the Wei army has been broken up countless people. ”

As they ran, they shouted frantically, their voices full of despair and begging: "General Hao Zhao, open the city gate quickly!" The Han army is about to catch up! ”

What is the messenger to be sent at this time?

When you get older, you don't have much momentum.

Cao Zhen looked at Cao Zhang with a complicated face, sighed, and said, "I never thought that when I saw my brother again, it was at this time, and it was such an identity. ”

Ma Dai has long passed the age of a hot-blooded teenager, and at the moment he is only thinking about landing safely and steadily.

"It's absolutely impossible!"

The smile on Cao Zhen's face suddenly froze.

Guo Huai nodded.

Before the oil stains on his face could be wiped off, Guo Huai hurried over.

The skin of this roasted whole lamb is roasted to a golden brown and crispy color, exuding an enticing aroma, and the surface of the lamb is covered with tiny cracks.

"The Great Earthquake Pass is then precipitous, the king goes straight up, chasing the dead and chasing the north, it may not be impossible to win the Great Earthquake Pass, if it can drive directly to Longxi, it will be a great achievement!"

However, because of its communication with Guanzhong in the valley of the thousand rivers in the east of the mountain, Longshan is the traffic artery that runs through the east and west since ancient times, after crossing the Longshan Mountain, it can reach Yizhou in the south, go to Longxi in the west, and go to Hanyang in the north, its military status is prominent, and it has always been a place where soldiers must fight.

Cao Zhen's face was ugly, but he still said, "Let him come in." ”

But the location of Longguan is too important.

Some people began to lose their minds and scolded Hao Zhao in the city, and all kinds of foul language were endless.

So, everyone watched, waiting for Cao Zhang to finish the roast sheep.

Send troops to attack Longguan.

"yes~"

had to flee in reverse and surrender to the Han army.

The guards of Huangshui City were shocked.

When dealing with Huangshui City in the front, Zhang Bao used this trick, but he didn't expect that after arriving at Longguan, this trick would not work.

Cao Zhang entered the hall and saw Cao Zhen.

Merit?

The Wei army was defeated, and the Wei State could still suppress the situation in Longxi?

"Huh."

Cao Zhen tried his best to mix up the grain and grass he transported, and now he has all made wedding dresses for the Han Kingdom.

As soon as he gave the order, arrows rained down on the walls, shooting at the routs who tried to climb the walls.

And he Zhang Bao is going to use a punishable strategy to make Longguan self-defeating!

How would those Wei soldiers who were guarding the city in Longguan feel when they saw their robes dying in front of them one by one?

Will the rabbit die and the fox will be sad?

Among the defeated soldiers under this city, there may be a brother or brother, son or father of the Longguan guard.

The slope of Guanxi is steep, the surrounding mountains are shielded, only a canyon between the peaks can reach the pass, there is a tendency of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people can not arrive", it is 40 kilometers away from Longxian County in the east, 35 kilometers away from Zhangjiachuan County in the west. Its landform is in the shape of "concave", which is the favorable terrain of the garrison.

Is it really persuasion?

Cao Zhen sneered and said, "Just as the envoy will not return to the Great Wei, how can I, Cao Zidan, betray the Wei servant?" If the messenger has come today for the purpose of persuasion, ask the messenger to return. Tell that Liu Gonghei that it may be easier to ask me Cao Zhen to take the head than to ask me Cao Zhen to surrender. ”

As soon as Fang arrived at Longguan, the scene in front of him was amazing.

Many people in the army have been under Cao Zhang's orders.

Cao Zhang

He really can't be killed.

"Is it Cao Ziwen?"

Zhang Bao, who had finished resting, led the elite cavalry, with 3,000 foot soldiers, and was already outside Longguan.

Play with you a little yin.

That's right.

An army of 100,000 is not allowed?

And on the other side.

"If this plan fails, Wei who guards the pass will not be easy to deal with."

When Zhang Bao heard this, he immediately gasped.

There is no chance to return to Longxi.

"If you don't save you when you die, when the general of the army comes, can you afford Hao Zhao?"

Seeing that Hao Zhao had no intention of opening the door, some of the routed soldiers began to try to climb the city wall, trying to force their way into the city.

Marquis of Yanling?

The Yan Ling State of Wei has long been removed, where did the Marquis of Yan Ling come from"

Since he couldn't move him with family affection, Cao Zhen had to keep his distance from Cao Zhang.

Zhang Bao sneered and said, "Maybe this Longguan, there is no need for me to make a move, someone will offer it." ”

Yang Ben snorted coldly on the side.

Cao Zhang sighed and said: "The persuasion is what I said, not what Your Majesty said, today I came by the emperor's order to tell Zidan you a piece of news." ”

But

Cao Zhen quickly reacted.

"General, the terrain of Longguan is dangerous, and it cannot be attacked, and our army cannot afford it."

"Hao Zhao, I'm an immortal!"

"General, the envoy of the Han army has arrived."

Some of the routers were shot by arrows and fell to the ground in agony; Others scattered in terror for fear of being overtaken by the Han army.

"Mother and maid, open the city gate quickly!"

Ma Cheng said anxiously on the side.

"What?"

What did he commit, but the sin of treason?

He Cao Ziwen has no way back, and there is no turning back.

Who knows that these routs are not pretending to be Han soldiers?

He didn't have time to sift through it now.

Zhang Bao smiled and said: "Continue to find the Wei army to rout and drive them to Longguan, I don't believe it, then Hao Zhao's arrows are really specially aimed at his own family?" ”

However, Hao Zhao was unmoved, and he calmly ordered the soldiers to prepare bows and arrows.

The whizzing sound of arrows and the screams of the routs were intertwined, and the scene was very bloody, that is, the Wei army in the city, all of them showed unbearable expressions on their faces.

"Storming is not a good idea."

When Wei saw this, he wanted to speak and stopped.

"General Qiyu, the terrain of Longguan is dangerous, known as a husband when the pass is not opened, there are 3,000 defenders in the pass, and there are 5,000 Wei troops stationed in the valley of thousands of rivers outside the pass, and Longguan is guarded by the thief general Hao Zhao, this person is good at defending the city, if the general wants to take Longguan, he must have an army of 100,000."

His responsibility was to hold the Longguan Pass, not to let the uninspected rout enter the city and pose a potential threat to the whole city.

A group of Wei troops, about five or six hundred people, were ragged, bloodstained with blood, and their faces showed fear, and they rushed to the gate of Longguan in a panic.

Cao Zhen and Cao Zhang still have some old feelings, and he used to be a general under Cao Zhang's account.

Seeing that his warning was ineffective, Hao Zhao's face was grim, and he immediately shouted:

The Great Earthquake Pass was built in the Han Dynasty, because it is on the top of Longshan Mountain, so it is called Longguan. Han Yuanding changed its name to Dazhenguan in five years, and according to legend, it was named after Emperor Wu Liu Che who climbed the mountain to meet the thunderstorm.

He was dressed in iron armor and armed with a long sword, and behind him were the equally guarded soldiers of the Wei State.

"It's really sad that fate plays tricks."

If you want to attack the city, you will also take the troops of Wei to feed the arrows.

"Good, good! Your Majesty's Strange Plans to Settle the World! ”

How much credit does he have now?

This time he broke the Wei army camp, killed thousands of Wei troops, captured at least more than 10,000 Wei troops, and fled the Wei army in all directions, that is to say, in the battle last night, Zhang Bao broke up at least 30,000 Wei troops.

They looked at the city gates, their eyes full of helplessness and despair.

Hao Zhao's demeanor always remained calm, and his gaze was like ice, both firm and cold.

"Uncle, we should lead our troops to meet General Xiao Zhang, Huangshui City has fallen, and the next step is to fight Longguan."

Cao Zhen was full of oil.

Have all the emperors of the Han Dynasty heard of Hao Zhao's reputation?

On the side, Yang Ben, who was born in the martial arts hall, said.

No way.

Huangshui City immediately went down, and Zhang Bao did not continue to delay time after resting for an hour, and immediately rode up and drove straight to Longguan!

"Longguan is a Xiongguan, not a battle can be undertaken, we only need to do our own tasks, if you rush forward and make a big mistake, you have merit or no merit."

After eating half a roast lamb, he patted his stomach with satisfaction and burped.

Die?

Locals call it "breathing near the sky, dangerous mountains hanging in the sun".

Longshan mountain range lies between Guanzhong and Longxi, northwest to Liupan Mountain, southeast to Qinling, stretches for more than 1,000 miles, across more than 10 counties, the mountain is upright, magnificent, the Han Dynasty has "its nine times, I don't know how high it is".

"Kill the Han army envoy!"

Today's victory, Cao Zhen's department has become a lone army.

But sometimes, under the general trend, he Zhang Bao may be able to take Longguan without dying alone.

The flavor of the spices has completely penetrated the lamb and intertwined with the aroma of the meat to form a unique delicacy.

Although the cries of the defeated soldiers under the city shook the sky, Hao Zhao did not move as if he had not heard it.

"Needless to say, collect the soldiers, transport the grain and grass, I still have the final say in the army!"

However, Hao Zhao at the head of the city was expressionless, staring at these routs with a cold gaze.

"General, aren't we going to attack?"

"Shoot!"

"What is your way to take Longguan?"

The Thousand River Valley, the Han Pass, the Great Earthquake Pass, the three places are each other's horns, and they are all easy to defend and difficult to attack, with the general's current strength, to attack, it will only increase the loss. ”

Since your Longguan is the world's Xiongguan, then I won't attack it.

Tall and majestic, Longshan has become the natural boundary between the Guanzhong in Longxi and the natural barrier between the Han nationality in the Central Plains and the ethnic minorities in the west.

Tell me a message?

"What's the news?"

A leg of mutton went down, Cao Zhang looked at Cao Zhen, and said with a smile: "Zidan, don't come to harm?" ”

Driven by the rain of arrows, the Wei army fled one after another, leaving only a few people who still held on.

Zhang Bao frowned slightly, and his eyes flickered.

Zhang Bao looked sideways at the Wei State Huangshui City guard behind him, this person surrendered when he saw that the situation was not good, and Zhang Bao did not see that he was a soft bone and looked down on him.

His face turned red and he yelled, "This must be the conspiracy of that Liu Gonghei!" ”

Cao Zhang's expression was still calm, but there was a bit of sincerity in his words.

"Zidan, your capital is gone, surrender now, there is still a glimmer of life."

Cao Zhen snorted coldly and said: "I have heard that Liu Gongji is good at playing with people's hearts, and now that I, Cao Zidan, have seen it, the envoy doesn't need to say much, left and right, send off guests!" (End of chapter)
