Chapter 1 Danger lurks in the sixth section, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao take the generals to greet Xu Rong ten miles away from Yangren. Xu Rong came galloping with a hundred iron horsemen.

After the First Battle of Yanmen Pass, Xu Rong had not seen each other for two years, except for Lu Bu.

Everyone saw the tall and mighty Xu Rong striding towards him with a smile on his face from a distance, and couldn't help but fall to the ground in unison and shout

"General...... Xu Rong was very excited, and hurriedly helped everyone up one by one and said goodbye to each other. Everyone was very emotional.

The soldiers of Northern Xinjiang went on an expedition to Saiwai last year, not only recovering the lost territory but also conquering the desert, and made great achievements in the world, which were admired by the people of the world, and Li Hong, Xian Yufu, Xu Rong and other generals of Northern Xinjiang were even more famous all over the world.

Many people don't understand, how can a good Han country suddenly become unrecognizable? The powerful Dong Zhuo, why did he suddenly become a traitor?

How did the former colleagues in the court and the robes in the army suddenly become enemies? With admiration and admiration, the generals surrounded Xu Rong in the middle and kept talking.

Since the state and county raised troops to fight against Dong, the situation in Gyeonggi has become more and more severe day by day, and there are many crises, and even Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an last month, which made the soldiers very pessimistic.

However, Xu Rong's arrival gave them hope, especially today, Xu Rong personally commanded all the armies, and even used clever tactics to completely defeat the rebels' fierce attack in only half a month.

In the eyes of the generals, Xu Rong will definitely be able to help them get through the difficulties. Xu Rong patiently answered many doubts in the hearts of the generals.

The Gyeonggi crisis did not originate from Dong Zhuo's actions, but from the struggle for power between the samurai and the scholars.

Only when the affairs of the court are resolved can the Gyeonggi crisis be resolved. The hussar general sent me south to create this opportunity for reconciliation, and Lord Xiangguo took the initiative to return to Chang'an to create this opportunity for reconciliation.

"Your Excellency. If Lord Xiangguo reconciles with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, don't we want to fight? Is it possible to live a stable life? Wei Xu hurriedly asked.

Xu Rong groaned slightly, nodded and said, "It should be like this." Now the ant thief rebellion broke out in Qing, Yan and Xu Prefectures, the momentum is huge, and the disaster is very serious, if the rebellion is not quelled in time, the Han Sheji is afraid that it will be destroyed overnight. At this time, whether it was the imperial court, Yuan Shao, or Yuan Shu, no one would watch the society collapse. So, the opportunity for reconciliation is at hand. ”

"If we surround Sun Jian, we will be able to force Yuan Shu to reconcile with Lord Xiangguo?" Cheng Lian asked,

"Is it that simple?"

"Of course it won't be that simple," Xu Rong said with a smile.

"Surrounding Sun Jian is equivalent to breaking Yuan Shao's hand, which will greatly reduce his strength, which is a prerequisite for forcing Yuan Shu to agree to reconciliation."

"So, we're just going to fight?" Lu Bu asked,

"My lord, how to solve the problem of food? Although Sun Jian and Ji Ling abandoned a large amount of grain and grass, it was far from enough for our tens of thousands of troops. What do we eat during this time? Everyone stared at Xu Rong together.

The question that everyone is most concerned about now is not whether to fight a war or whether it can win a war, but how to eat a full stomach.

Xu Rong looked around and smiled slightly: "Lord Hu didn't come?" Zhang Liao smiled: "Where does Hu Zhen still have the face to see you?" He is now a laughing stock in the military. Lord Xiangguo asked him to lead 10,000 troops to guard the tiger prison, but not only did he not defend it, but he took it away without spending a single soldier, which was a big shame. At dusk, Zhang Liao thought of something, and his face changed abruptly,

"My lord, do you want to ......" Xu Rong said quietly: "There is less food, there are more people, if you want to eat a full stomach, there are only two ways, either eat people or kill people." Lu Bu and the generals suddenly realized, although they were very surprised, they couldn't hold back the joy in their hearts, and they smiled one by one.

"My lord, what about Sun Jian? Cheap him for nothing? Zhang Liao asked in a low voice. Xu Rong smiled, pointed to the attendant behind him and said, "Open the map ......" == Hu Zhen heard that Xu Rong did not come, but led the army to fight Luyang, he was very happy, and hurriedly commanded the army to storm the small city of Yangren.

Xu Rong didn't come, and the credit for the total annihilation of Sun Jian was Hu Zhen and Lu Bu. Hu Zhen lost the tiger prison last time, and Lu Bu lost several cities in a row this time, both of them are guilty, if they can make meritorious service to atone for their crimes, of course they can't ask for it.

Hu Zhen happily said to his subordinates, Xu Rong is a very knowledgeable person, and he knows that he offended me last time, but not only did he not dare to come this time, but he didn't even want credit.

Lu Bu seemed to have scolded him well, and he was very cooperative, and the overseers attacked wildly. Because Hu Zhen was bent on making meritorious contributions, his 8,000-strong army fought very hard and attacked the Nancheng Tower several times.

Fortunately, Lu Bu gave Sun Jian a lot of face, and whenever Nancheng was in an emergency, his army withdrew. Sun Jian was then able to free up his hands to reinforce Nancheng and inflict heavy losses on Hu Zhen's besieging army.

After three days of fighting, Hu Zhen and Sun Jian suffered heavy losses, and Lu Bu was also scarred, but Sun Jian was from Lu Bu's

"Help" saw a glimmer of opportunity to break through. Late at night on the third day, Guangcheng Pass, which was five miles away from the small city of Yangren, suddenly burst into flames, and the sound of war drums and killing was earth-shattering.

Sun Jian was overjoyed and hurriedly gathered his troops and prepared to break through. At this time, it must have been the army sent by Yuan Shu to rescue him who attacked Guangcheng Pass.

Zhu Zhi suggested breaking through from the four gates at the same time to disperse the enemy's forces, with the south gate as the main breakthrough direction of the army.

Sun Jian disagreed. It was Hu Zhen's army that was responsible for besieging the south gate and the east gate, which had been seriously damaged in the past three days, and judging from Lu Bu's attacks in the past few days, he obviously wanted to lose a lot of Hu Zhen's troops.

Sun Jian said that there was a contradiction between Lu Bu and Hu Zhen, and Lu Bu wanted to take this opportunity to kill him. If this is the case, it will be foolproof that we will concentrate all our forces to break through from the south gate, because Lu Bu will not go to his aid.

Just when Sun Jian and the others were arguing and undecided, Zhang Liao fled back from the direction of Guangchengguan with the remnants of the defeated army, and the frightened and mournful shouts resounded through the dark night.

"The rebels are coming, the rebels are coming...... The soldiers were frightened and uneasy, and watched in amazement as Zhang Liao led the defeated army through the camp, running wildly and screaming at the top of their voices,

"Let's go...... Walk...... Everyone, run away......" Lu Bu didn't wait for the army to be assembled, jumped on the war horse and ran.

"Go, go, let's go, go back to Yique, go back to Yique......" The terrified soldiers let out a cry and grabbed the ground, and then fled with a roar.

I don't want anything, I just run away with my head in my hands. Sun Jian did not hesitate any longer, and rushed out of the south gate with the army.

At this time, Hu Zhen was scolding and gathering his army and preparing to retreat. Caught off guard, the army was hit head-on, and the frightened soldiers did not resist at all and fled in a hurry.

At this time, a clear and dense sound of war drums came from the direction of Guangcheng Pass, and it was obvious that the army that had come to the rescue was hurrying to the rescue.

Sun Jian roared angrily,

"Kill, chase after me and kill ......" Zhu Zhi, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others are all battle-hardened generals, how could they miss such a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy, everyone commanded their own soldiers and bravely pursued and killed.

Hu Zhen's army was bloodily slaughtered, with numerous casualties. Sun Jian was killing heartily, and several scouts rushed to block his way.

"My lord, Guangcheng Pass is wide open, but there are no reinforcements." Sun Jian gasped and came out in a cold sweat.

"Quick, Mingjin, stop the pursuit, seize Guangcheng Pass, seize Guangcheng Pass......" == Guangcheng Pass looks very weird under the reflection of the skyrocketing fire.

Zhu Zhi rushed in with a thousand elites, searching around, but the gate was empty, and there was no one.

The scouts rode out of the customs and galloped ten miles south, but still did not find any traces. Sun Jian led the army slowly into the pass.

He and the generals looked at each other, puzzled. What's going on, could it be that all this was arranged by Lu Bu?

One is to kill Hu Zhen, and the other is to let himself go? Could it be that Lu Bu also took refuge in Zhu Jun?

"From here, go south to Luyang for one hundred and fifty miles, and only the terrain of Dahuling is very dangerous on the way." Gongsun said worriedly,

"If Lu Bu wants to use us to kill Hu Zhen first, and then preemptively kill us, just preset an ambush in this place." Sun Jian consulted with several of his subordinates for a long time.

If Lu Bu really had an ambush in Dahuling, even if the army was killed, the losses would be very amazing, and once he couldn't kill him, when Lu Bu's whole army caught up after dawn and surrounded the army in Dahuling, it would really be annihilated.

Considering that the army's grain and grass can still support for a few days, Sun Jian feels that it is better to be stable. So he wrote a letter asking for help again to Qiao Rui, who was stationed in Luyang, and asked him to come to help quickly with grain and grass.

Previously, the army was surrounded in the small city of Yangren, Guangcheng Pass was lost again, and it was understandable that Qiao Rui did not come to the rescue, but now that he has been out of trouble, there is no reason for him to come to the rescue again.

"If he doesn't come two days later, I'll personally go to Luyang and kill him." Sun Jian said coldly.

== In April, Nanyang County, Luyang City. Qiao Rui is in his thirties, tall and majestic, with a pair of red phoenix eyes, three locks of long beard, and a bit of elegance in his martial arts.

He is a relative of Yuan Lord, and Yuan Shu is a cousin, and he used to be under Yuan Kui's Taifu Mansion. When Yuan Kui was appointed as a Beijing official, he deliberately asked him to serve as a lieutenant in Runan County and recruit volunteers in the place where Yuan was based.

After Qiao Rui received Sun Jian's second request for help, he immediately consulted with Ji Ling. Is it to save Kong Ling or Sun Jian?

At this time, Kong Ling's fourth letter for help arrived. Kong Ling said that Yingchuan's army guarding Li Min has not yet returned, and it is estimated that it is trapped in Yangcheng and cannot be counted on.

Yang Zhai City has now been surrounded by Xu Rong's army for seven days, and the situation is becoming more and more critical, begging Qiao Rui to come to the aid quickly.

Ji Ling thought for a while and said: "Lord Yuan has a book, telling us to save if we can, and if we can't save it, we must do it, so as not to be honest and hated in the future." I don't think it's good for the reinforcements to not move, so let's make a show. Now that Sun Jian has occupied Guangcheng Pass and has no worries about going south, the reason why he does not dare to retreat is mainly because he is worried that the army will ambush in the Great Tiger Ridge. I think you can just go for it, there is no danger. I didn't go well, and it was embarrassing to meet. Qiao Rui smiled: "Who told you to run so fast?" If you give up Guangchengguan, it is equivalent to pushing Sun Jian into a desperate situation, of course he hates you to the bone. It is very dangerous to save Kong Ling, and it is Xu Rong's army that surrounds Yangzhai City, all of which are the elite of Northern Xinjiang. Are you sure? Ji Ling waved his hand and said casually: "I'll go to the vicinity of Yangzhai City to have a look." Perfunctory Kong Ling. Maybe Xu Rong will take the initiative to withdraw when he sees our reinforcements arriving, after all, he has no food and grass to support, and the troops to attack the city are not enough. can only scare and scare people like Kong Ling. ”

"You and I have left, who will guard this Luyang? How many troops to keep? ”

"Let Chen Lan stay, more than a thousand people are enough." The next day, Qiao Rui took 4,000 men and horses to Guangcheng Pass to meet Sun Jian, and Ji Ling took 5,000 men and horses east to Yingchuan Yang Zhai City to rescue Kong Ling.

== Huoyang Mountain is located between Guangchengguan and Luyang City, 80 miles away from Luyang City. When Qiao Rui led the army north along the avenue at the eastern foot of Huoyang Mountain, Xu Rong led the army south from the trail at the western foot of Huoyang Mountain.

At dawn, Chen Lan, who was asleep, was awakened by the sound of war drums and a huge roar.

"What's going on?"

"My lord, Xu Rong...... Xu Rong's army is besieging the city. The attendant who came to report was sweating profusely and said in a panic.

Chen Lan jumped up in shock and shouted, "Isn't Xu Rong in Yangzhai City?" Why did you run to Luyang overnight? ”

"My lord, there is indeed a large army in Northern Xinjiang outside, and there are tens of thousands of people densely packed together." The soldier who reported the news pointed out of the city with a look of fear and said,

"They're banging on the door, we can't hold it, we can't hold it......" Chen Lan didn't wait to put on her battle robe, and ran out with her war knife,

"Is the whole city besieged?"

"Nope. They had just arrived, and the west gate had not yet been fenced. Chen Lan raised her sword and roared without thinking: "Let's go, let's go from the West Gate, go from the West Gate......" The attendant asked in surprise,

"My lord, are you no longer guarding the city?"

"What city is guarded by a thousand men?" Chen Lan scolded as she flew on her horse,

"If you want to die, you stay here." Surrounded by the guards of the iron cavalry, Xu Rong rode into Luyang City. At this time, the 6,000 northern Xinjiang army had occupied the entire city, and was confiscating grain and belongings in the treasury of the government office.

Wu Xiong hit his horse to meet him, bowed down and said with a smile: "My lord, I didn't catch a battle on the way, but my leg was about to break." ”

"Aren't you riding a horse?" Xu Rong pretended to be puzzled and asked,

"Is the horse's leg about to break or is your leg about to break?" Wu Xiong laughed. The guards around couldn't help but laugh and laughed.

"My lord, we have laid down Luyang and got food and property, are we going to leave again?"

"Yes, leave here immediately and follow Ji Ling to Yangzhai." Xu Rong said,

"Order the troops to move faster and get out of here before dusk."

"Dusk?" Wu Xiong lamented,

"My lord, why don't you let everyone rest for a day."

"I can't stop, I'll leave immediately." Xu Rong said with a smile,

"This is far from Wancheng and Yangzhai. Guangcheng Pass is only one or two hundred miles away, and once we are entangled by them, we will be trapped here. It's okay for us to go it alone, but we can't be too careless. Taking other people's things and sleeping in front of people's houses is too deceitful. ”

"What about bullying him? Could it be that Yuan Shu still dares to fight in the northern Xinjiang? Wu Xiong smiled disdainfully: "You said that Sun Jian is very powerful, why didn't he dare to cross the Great Tiger Ridge?" As a result, we couldn't ambush us, so we had to run here to rob. This time it was for nothing. Xu Rong knocked on Wu Xiong's helmet with the horsewhip in his hand, and said affectionately: "Yuchen, there have been many battles, the official has become bigger, and his eyes are up." Isn't it more certain that Wei Xu and Song Xian ambushed Qiao Rui? As long as they grab the grain and grass, they can still trap Sun Jian. I think it's better to trap Sun Jian than to create Sun Jian. If Yuan Shu didn't have the strength to be strong, what would he do to compete with Yuan Shao? If the Yuan brothers do not fight among themselves, it will be difficult for us to check and balance. As long as Sun Jian can be trapped in Guangcheng Pass for a period of time, Yuan Shu will definitely be in a hurry. Wu Xiong shook his head and arched his hand and said, "It's better for adults to think about such a complicated matter." Lu Bu should be attacking Guangcheng Pass now, right? ”

"Almost." Xu Rong said,

"If Sun Jian had retreated resolutely, he would have left, but now he is in trouble. As soon as Lu Bu beats, Sun Jian will inevitably take care of one and lose the other, and if Qiao Rui loses again, it will be difficult for him to get out calmly. Wei Xu and Song Xian had 5,000 men, enough to defeat Qiao Rui and hold Dahuling. ”

"My lord, when we go to Yangzhai this time, are we fighting with Li Yun and Li Meng, who are besieging Yangzhai City, and annihilating Ji Ling?"

"It is impossible to annihilate them all." Xu Rong said with a smile,

"If he can save Kong Ling and leave Yang Zhai City and food to me, I can even stop beating him." == In April, Henan Yin, Guangchengguan.

Sun Jian looked at the scout who was kneeling on the ground, speechless. He thought that Lu Bu would set up an ambush in Dahuling, but who knew that Lu Bu would not set up an ambush in Dahuling, but in the Rushui River, which everyone thought was the safest.

Qiao Rui was defeated and fled, and the food and baggage were robbed by Lu Bu's ambush soldiers. After Huang Gai, who rushed to Dahuling to pick up Qiao Rui, received the news, he was about to go over to the rescue, but Lu Bu's ambush soldiers killed back at an unbelievable speed, and they repelled Huang Gai.

There are indeed ambushes on Dahuling, and there are enough of them. At this time, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao outside the pass were commanding the soldiers and horses to attack the city, and the grain and grass in the pass had been cut off.

"Kill out, kill it today......" == April down, Yingchuan County, Yangzhai City. Li Meng and Li Yun saw Ji Ling coming to help, and hurriedly withdrew their troops and left.

Ji Ling happily entered Yangzhai City. That night, he sang and laughed with Kong Ling and other officials, and he was drunk and rested.

When I got up the next morning, I saw that there was a large army under the black and oppressive ground under Yangzhai City, and it was surrounded again. But this time, Xu Rong gave up the West Gate.

Ji Ling did not hesitate at all, and led the army to protect Kong Ling and break through from the West Gate. Xu Rong captured Yangzhai City.

== In April, Nanyang County, Wancheng. Yuan Shu roared like thunder. Jump to
