Chapter 890: Burning Hangu Pass
Outside Hangu Pass, Lu Di's 300,000 army and Bu Shang's army joined forces, with a total of 470,000 troops of the two armies, aiming at Hangu Pass.
This time, the Hangu Pass will undoubtedly be broken.
"King!"
Seeing that Lu Di, who was over seventy years old, personally led people to the front line, he was really frightened, and hurriedly led the army to chase after him.
In fact, Bu Shang's age is not younger than Lu Di, on the contrary, he is much older than Lu Di, and now Bu Shang is ninety years old, but Bu Shang is obviously as good as the historical record, and with the current body and mental strength, it is not much of a problem to live to the one hundred and thirteen recorded in the history books.
Bu Shang trotted to Lu Di's side all the way, but he didn't see the old Long Zhong panting like a cow.
"Oh, it's Zixia!" When Lu Di saw the Bu Shang coming, he went up and grabbed his hand and helped him up.
"King, it's too dangerous outside this pass, it's better to go back to the camp"
Bu Shang persuaded.
Lu Di didn't continue the topic, but said: "Zixia, is this Wei Du a capable person around him?" Lone knows your ability, and it stands to reason that it is not difficult to break through this letter valley pass."
Bu Shang smiled bitterly when he heard this: "King, you have a high opinion of Shang, this is the material of the lord of Wei, who is both civil and military, no less than the prince, not to mention that he has capable generals like Tian Zifang and Duan Mugan on his left and right, and the fourth brother of the lord of Wei, Wei Cheng, although he is young, he has a virtuous style, how easy is it to break Wei?" β
Lu Di looked at Bu Shang, who seemed to have suffered a huge grievance, and smiled secretly in his heart, if you know that this Wei Du Tianzi Fang Duan Mugan should be your disciple in some history, I don't know what you think?
However, it is understandable that Bu Shang poured bitter water, although Bu Shang was very powerful in history, but now Wei Duanmu Gantian Zifang has been cultivated by Xiang Wang Xu since he was a child, and their personal ability has already exceeded their personal ability in the original history.
"What's going on with that Wei Cheng? Lone remembers that he must be less than twelve years old, right? Lu Di remembered that Bu Shang mentioned Wei Chengzi in history, and was curious at the moment.
Bu Shang pointed to Hangu Pass, which had been raised countless times: "This plan is the sacrifice of Leyang recommended by Wei Cheng."
"Oh, you're saying that Le Yang was recommended by Wei Cheng to his brother?" Lu Di was surprised.
Bu Shang nodded.
Lu Di frowned secretly: Originally, he thought that by pulling Zhai Huang on his chariot, he could carry Li Kui, Ximen Leopard, Le Yang and others under his command, but now it seems that this is not the case, at least Le Yang has gone astray! And that Li Kui, where is he now?
Among the capable people recommended by Zhai Huang to Wei Wenhou, Lu Di valued two people the most, one was Ximen Leopard, and the other was Li Kui.
Ximen Leopard has been recruited by him to become the governor of Sanshui, and now there is only one Li Kui left.
What Lu Di didn't know was that Li Kui was now following his righteous son Xiang Lu to practice the knowledge of "up the ambition of a husband and up the responsibility of the world" in Guigu.
"Brother Wei, one family and two masters! However, there is no need to be afraid, Lone will break his level tomorrow."
Lu Di said this, looking at the majestic Hangu Pass with great confidence.
Bu Shang was curious, what kind of strategy would his own king use?
In fact, Bu Shang thinks too much, and a smart person like him can't come up with a clever plan, so how can Lu Di have any plan? It's just relying on the benefits of the equipment!
In the early morning, LΓΌ Di sent a young talent of Qi State, Meng Sun Ji, to send an envoy to persuade Wei to surrender, and Wei swore not to surrender.
When Lu Di learned that Meng Sun was excited, he no longer hesitated, and ordered the army to launch 10,000 super stone-throwing trucks and start bombarding Hangu Pass.
This time the bombardment is different from the previous ones, and the biggest difference this time is that it is no longer an ordinary stone, but a "stone" that can catch fire.
Lu Di wanted to burn Hangu Pass.
Boom, boom! Boom! Boom......
A huge sound resounded in Hangu Pass, and at this moment, the Hangu Pass was burned red by the fire.
Looking at the raging fire, Bu Shang licked his tongue, and finally became speechless.
At the east gate of Hangu Pass, the chaotic army was crowded and ran outside the pass.
Wei Du's hair was burned and a lot of it was guarded by Duan Mugan and Tian Zifang, and he killed many sergeants on the crowded roads, and then escaped from the pass in embarrassment.
"An army of 200,000 outnumbered men!"
Wei Du looked at the Xiongguan behind him that was covered by fire, and shouted miserably. Duan Mugan and Tian Zifang had tears in their eyes.
In less than an hour, before even the army of Wei could react, it was covered by a fire that covered the sky and the sun.
"Grand Duke, don't be sad, our army still has more than 100,000 elites, and with these elites, we have a chance!" It was Wu Chenghei, the general of the State of Chu, who spoke.
The generals of Shu also nodded.
Wei Du looked at the two of them, his heart was extremely bitter, and he said lightly, most of the soldiers who were caught in the sea of fire were my Wei people, not you Chu and Shu people! If it were your people, would the widow see that you were grieved?
It's just that he couldn't say this, he wiped away his tears and ordered Tian Zifang to let him gather the remnants of the Wei army that had escaped from the pass, and prepare to join forces with the Chu and Shu armies to fight the Qi people again.
The fire at Hangu Pass burned for three days and three nights, and it was not until the fourth day that the fire was extinguished when the continuous spring rain fell.
Looking at the charred and blackened Hangu Pass, the Qi army screamed, carried the siege ladder, and killed the city.
Hangu Pass was completely captured, and on the fifth day, the pass was cleaned by the Qi army, and Lu Di led the army into the pass.
Looking at the burned pass, Wang Zi'an frowned and said: "Father, Hangu Pass has been burned so that it can no longer be used, why don't you levy conscription and repair this pass?" β
Lu Di covered his mouth and nose, strolled through the streets that smoked from time to time, heard Wang Zi'an's words, glanced at this son, and then said: "There is no need, since it is destroyed, it is destroyed!" β
After that, he led everyone and strode towards the east of Hangu Pass, where Lu Di really couldn't bear it, because he smelled something that seemed to come from the crematorium.
Seeing that Lu Di did not agree to rebuild this pass, Prince An was puzzled, and grabbed Lu Di's other son, the rather fierce-looking prince Yang and said, "Sixth brother, what does my father mean?" β
The prince is also Lu Yang, one of the twins born to Lu Di and Zhong Lichun. This is the surname that followed Lu Di, so he is a prince, and his brother Mandarin is not as lucky as him, although he is the son of Lu Di, but he followed his mother's surname in name and became the head of the Zhongli family.
The prince scratched his head, how did he know? At this moment, a person in front of the two suddenly turned his head and sneered: "What my father wants is a unified world, a world that is real on the outside and virtual on the inside, so in this case, what are we doing in the country with such a majestic pass?" Want to divide one side? β
"I said Sixth Brother, don't get so close to such ambitious but narrow-minded people, it will hurt you"
Then the man shook his sleeves and left.
