Looking at the resentful looks of the Yue cavalry battalion, Cao Liang knew that everyone was holding their breath, in this cold winter season, everyone went to the front line without a word of complaint, not that they all had a sincere heart to serve the country, and wanted to kill the enemy in front of the army and serve the court.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived in Guanzhong, I ate a closed door, and people hid from the city to eat fragrant and spicy food, but the Yueqi camp could only drink the northwest wind outside the city, and this kind of treatment was naturally difficult to satisfy the soldiers of the Yuecai camp.

However, when it comes to withdrawing to Luoyang, it is just a momentary angry talk, the military order is like a mountain, and the army that has already gone out has never returned to Luoyang City before receiving the order to retreat, otherwise it will be regarded as complicity.

Although the Yue cavalry battalion was a group of scum in Luoyang City in the past, it was also the palace guard, and the people around the Son of Heaven naturally had a full sense of superiority, and they always despised the foreign army and the county soldiers.

was originally a high position, but now it is deflated under the city of Tongguan, this psychological gap must have made the people of the Yueqi Battalion extremely indignant.

Cao Liang saw that the sergeants were angry, not only secretly frowned, but now simple appeasement may not have any effect, as a captain of the Yue cavalry, he can't find some ground for the Yue cavalry battalion, and swallow his anger in a vague manner, I am afraid that the prestige he has established in the Yue cavalry camp in the past year will collapse.

But how can we get back face for the Yue Cavalry Battalion?

Cao Liang was really a little worried, after all, Cheng Ji led the army of the Great Wei State, and there was no reason to fight with his own people, so it was impossible for Cao Liang to kill Shangtong Pass in a fit of anger.

Moreover, the Yue cavalry battalion only has 700 cavalry, and there may be some chance of winning the battle on the flat ground, but it is a big joke to break through this iron-clad Tongguan City.

But swallowing this breath for no reason, Cao Liang also refused, and the Yue Cavalry Camp stared at so many pairs of eyes, Cao Liang confessed this time, what else can he do to serve the public in the future?

Cheng Ji is the pawn of the Sima family, and the vanguard of the Sima family's rebellion, Cao Liang does not have a good impression of him, and his final fate is to be Sima Zhao's scapegoat, and he was exterminated by Sima Zhao, and he is completely to blame and suffer by himself, this kind of person is not worthy of sympathy at all.

With this kind of person, you must not be cowardly, just do it!

Cao Liang thought about it, his eyes rolled, there he was!

"Deng Ai, Shi Bao obey the order!" Cao Liang said loudly.

"Humble duty!" Deng Ai and Shi Bao immediately gave up.

"Pass the order, set up camp immediately, and there must be no mistake!"

Deng Ai and Shi Bao glanced at each other, Cao Liang's order was a little abrupt, and he immediately set up camp, but he didn't say where to camp or where to set up camp, which made the two of them confused.

"Dare to ask Cao ...... Captain, I'm ...... Where should our army set up camp? Deng Ai asked.

Cao Liang carried a horsewhip, pointed to the gate of Tongguan, and said: "The terrain there is flat and leeward, and it is the most convenient to come and camp in the camp, what do you think?" ”

Deng Ai was slightly stunned at first, but immediately understood, immediately received the order, and ordered to go down, and set up camp outside the city gate of Tongguan, burying the pot and cooking.

Tongguan is an extremely dangerous pass, the north and south sides are the cliffs that stand on the wall of ten thousand thousands, there is a city gate on each side of the east and west, there is only one avenue through the east and west in the city, from the east gate to enter and exit the west gate can go straight to Chang'an, and from the west gate to the east gate can reach Luoyang.

Therefore, the east and west sides of Tongguan are the only way to pass through the entire Guanluo Avenue, Cao Liang ordered the Yue cavalry camp to camp outside the east gate of Tongguan, and sealed the east gate of Tongguan.

Don't let you enter the city at night, it's the rule here, where to camp, it's Cao Liang's right, Tongguan East Gate is spacious and flat, used as a campsite, I'm afraid it couldn't be more suitable.

The Yueqi battalion worked together and soon set up the camp.

The soldiers guarding the city heard the noise of the people in the city, and at first they did not know what they were going to do, but when the camp tent was erected, they suddenly understood that these people were not ready to leave, but camped on the spot outside the east gate of Tongguan.

The soldiers defending the city had never seen such a persistent team, and immediately reported to Chengji.

Cheng Ji did not leave, but rested in the building, after listening to the soldier's report, slightly surprised, got up and took a look in person, sure enough, as the defender said, the Yue cavalry battalion was the road to the village, and the east gate of Tongguan was given to death.

Cheng Ji smiled coldly, others were dogs who jumped over the wall in a hurry, but the Yue Riding Camp was a dog who was in a hurry to block the door, but in the middle of the night, Tongguan City was already closed by the city gates, and no one passed, so Cheng Ji didn't bother to pay attention to them, put his hands behind his back, and went back to sleep.

The next day, Cheng Ji had just woken up from his sleep, his eyes were worried, and he heard the soldiers defending the city come to report: "General Cheng, something is wrong." ”

Cheng Jiyi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "What's the alarm, report it quickly." ”

"General Qiyu, the inferior rank and others were ordered to open the city gate at sunrise, but the Yue cavalry camp that camped outside the city gate yesterday neither entered the city nor retreated, and sealed the east gate to death, and passers-by and merchants could not pass."

When Cheng Ji heard this, he was immediately furious, these guys were obviously looking for ballast, and they didn't let them enter the city according to the regulations last night, so they were disgruntled and deliberately blocked the city gate.

The city is not allowed to open at night, it is not something that he can say alone, this order is given by the Yongzhou Assassin History, the purpose is to prevent the fine work from taking the opportunity to mix in and out, after all, the search intensity at night is much worse than during the day.

Originally, this was a rule that everyone had to abide by, but as soon as these guys came, they thought about going directly into the city, and they were unscrupulous, making it clear that they were going to break the rules.

They don't look at whose territory this is, and they dare to make waves here?

Cheng Ji immediately got up and ran to the east gate.

Tongguan is just a pass with dangerous terrain, it is the only pass on Guanluo Avenue, as soon as the morning dawns, the pedestrians and caravans crowded in the Kanto and Kansai immediately take action, and when the city gate is opened, they are rushing up, ready to pass through.

But today it seems that there are some differences, usually as soon as the city gate is opened, the road will be unimpeded, but at this moment there is a camp outside the east gate, there are countless tents, and the fence is even directly sealed at the gate, if you want to get out of the city, you have to pass through this camp first.

At first, the pedestrians and merchants thought that the enemy army was coming to besiege the city, and they were frightened into disillusionment, but after a closer look, the banner of Great Wei was still flying in the camp.

Everyone wondered, since it was the army of Great Wei, why did it block the city gate and block the road?

The crowd was puzzled.
