"Zhongying, why do you want to make the general angry." Zhou Jun caught up with two steps, chased after Zhou Yin, and blamed: "It's not that you don't know that the general's only defeat was the Battle of Chenyang, why bother to stimulate him in front of so many people." ”

"I didn't mean to provoke him, they deliberately framed me." Zhou Yin pinched his waist, and his anger did not subside.

"Okay, it's not been a day since Jiangdong people and Jianghuai people are fighting for power and profit, and you don't know it, so why be angry about it." Zhou Jun was also a little gloomy. The Jianghuai people's life in Jiangdong is getting more and more difficult, which makes him wonder if it is worth following the Sun family in the first place, knowing that this is the case, it is better to rely on Cao Cao, with Zhou Yu's ability, why work so hard, so that he died young. He came out of his mind for a while, then retracted his mind and reminded: "Zhongying, I didn't say you, you are so old, it's time to control your temper." You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people. If you had been more cautious in Longyan Beach and not so close to Wei Ba, the general would not have treated you like this. ”

Zhou Yin slapped his forehead in annoyance: "How did I know that they would think so much, I just drank a few more glasses of wine with Wei Ba, and wanted to know more about his temper, so as to prepare for the future battle." They clearly live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and they have suffered under Wei Ba, and they are unwilling to learn from me with an open mind, but they are looking for a reason in me. ”

"Then you can't be more careful yourself?" Zhou Jun was also a little angry, and said sharply: "A gentleman is not in a place of suspicion, Wei Ba is our enemy, why should you be close to him, and you will attract tongues in vain." ”

"I think Wei Ba's enemy is more bitter than them, at least not as despicable as them." Zhou Yin shrugged. muttered a few words in a low voice and walked away. Zhou Jun was so angry that he stomped his feet, so he had to follow.

……

Yanguan is a majestic pass.

Go all the way south from the Central Plains, cross the Yangtze River, pass through the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, and then follow the valley for thousands of miles, and you will encounter the five mountains. Yuecheng Ridge is the westernmost of the five mountains, when Qin Shi Huang sent 500,000 Qin troops to conquer Lingnan, one of which was through Yuecheng Ridge into Lingnan. In order to be able to transport grain from the Central Plains to Lingnan, Qin Shi Huang ordered the digging of a spiritual canal in the middle of the mountains. Communicate the Xiangshui flowing to Changsha and the Lishui flowing to Panyu. This is a miraculous water conservancy project. It fully shows the engineering jishu of the Qin people that is enough to make future generations stunned.

Later, Zhao Tuo seized Lingnan and established the Kingdom of Nanyue, and when Lu Houshi was preparing to attack Nanyue, Zhao Tuo built a city south of Lingqu. It was used to resist the army from the Central Plains. That city was later called Yuecheng. Twenty miles north of Yuecheng. There is a big strict pass, that is, the often said strict pass. Yanguan was built between two mountains, and was built into a height of three zhang with huge stones. Five zhang thick, twenty zhang long city wall, the west side is Phoenix Mountain, the east side is Lion Mountain, the mountain stone wall stands, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Not far northwest of Yanguan, there is a small Yanguan. Xiaoyan Pass is in the east-west direction, it is also built between two mountains, there is a gate in the east and west, and there is a flat land about two or three miles long in the middle, which can be stationed. Xiao Yan Pass and Yan Pass into a horn of the momentum, the enemy wants to attack one of them, the back will inevitably be attacked by the other pass, in the narrow valley in front of the pass, and there is not enough space to accommodate a large number of men and horses, no matter how many troops, can only look at the pass and sigh.

With such a Xiongguan, the Nanyue Kingdom was able to maintain its national glory for nearly a hundred years, and it was not until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that it was reincorporated into the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty.

It is almost an impossible task to conquer such a Xiongguan, so to speak, since the establishment of the strict pass, there has been no experience of being forcibly breached. With such Xiongguan as a reliance, after half a year of recuperation, Lu Kai has basically stabilized the morale of the army, and even the barbarians of the Xiongxi tribe have gradually accepted the reality. Although they also wanted to share the blessings of the gods and generals like other tribes, but seeing the cliffs on both sides of the Yan Pass, they couldn't help but be a little skeptical of the legend of the gods. Such a majestic pass, even if God is coming, you have to hesitate again and again.

With such confidence, Huaigen dared not to take the envoy sent by the husband to persuade him to surrender, and Lu Kai could wait for Wei Ba's arrival in the city with peace of mind. He is not afraid that Wei Ba will come, he is afraid that Wei Ba will not come, he wants to use Wei Ba's head to pay tribute to his father's spirit in the sky, and wash away the shame of leaving his father fleeing for his life.

Receiving the alarm sent by Lu Xun, Lu Kai was not only not nervous, but felt very excited.

"Hopefully he's real this time and not another bluff." Lu Kai sat on the city wall, playing with the jade cup in his hand, squinting his eyes, looking at the sky that was cramped by the cliffs on both sides of the city, and said gloomily.

"I think the general may be disappointed again." Liu Yan smiled and answered unhurriedly. "If Wei Ba can really break through the strict pass, I will admit that he is really a god general. However, I think even if he is a real god general, I am afraid that he will not be able to break through the strict pass. ”

"That is, there is a general command, there are so many warriors, even if Wei Ba comes, there will only be one end." Huaigen laughed loudly, and the hearty laughter echoed in the valley, startling a few crows.

Huaigen is nearly fifty years old, although he is only seven feet tall, but he is brave and fierce, and he was a fierce general under the command of Xiangfu. Xiangfu went out with Ma Liang, and he was entrusted with the important task of staying in the cottage. Later, Liu Bei was defeated in Yiling, the barbarian king Shamoke was killed in battle, the husband was missing, and his life and death were unknown. Originally, his life was very peaceful, until one day, Liu Xian called the door and asked him to be the barbarian king.

Before Shamoke, the barbarian king was the master of the Xiongxi tribe, at that time, the Xiongxi tribe was the most powerful tribe in Wuling, as a member of the Xiongxi tribe, Huaigen could enjoy a unique respect wherever he went. Originally, Xiangfu was expected to become the new barbarian king, and Huaigen could also rely on the barbarian king to get closer, but unfortunately, Xiangfu lost to Shamoke, and the barbarian king became the pride of the Yuanling tribe.

When Xiangfu was a jingfu, Huaigen never considered that he could be a barbarian king, because he knew very well that Xiangfu's ability was above him, and even if he returned to the Xiongxi tribe as a barbarian king, it had nothing to do with him. Now that Shamoke is dead, the whereabouts of Xiangfu are unknown, and the position of the barbarian king is suddenly close to him, and if there is the help of the Wu people, it is not impossible to become a barbarian king. In terms of strength, even Nanxi's flying fox is inferior by three points, and he can't be the new barbarian king?

Everything looks going well. Liu Xian stationed in Xiongxi, and then sent people to say that Nanxi would be lowered, and Lu Kai and Zhu Bao personally rushed to Yuanxi, preparing to force the Yuanchen tribe to bow their heads and hand over the Pangling Order by force, and then they could unify Wuxi and threaten Nanzhong in Yizhou. But no one expected that Xiangfu would suddenly come back.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the husband, Huaigen was very hesitant. Xiangfu used to be his sperm, but now. He is the master of the Xiongxi tribe. Over the years, it was he who had worked hard for the survival of the Xiongxi tribe, and as soon as his husband came back, he had to let him give up the fruits of his years of hard work. This was unacceptable to him.

Thereupon. He tied up his husband at the welcome party. gave him to Lu Dai. not only flattered the Wu people, showed loyalty, but also relieved a confidant. Everything could have been settled that way. But what happened later surprised Huaigen no matter what.

Xiangfu didn't come back alone, there was a Wei Ba behind him. Wei Ba defeated Lu Kai, captured Zhu Bao, subdued the Nanxi tribe, and exchanged the princess Sun Luban for her husband. This is beyond the reach of Huaigen Zuihou. If he knew this, he should have killed his husband directly and never had troubles. The news of Xiangfu's escape from death reached Xiongxi and had a very negative impact on him. On the one hand, some people hated his betrayal of his husband, and on the other hand, they agreed with Wei Ba's willingness to exchange the princess for his husband. Although he killed a few leaders and shocked everyone with bloody means, he knew that once the seeds of suspicion were planted, it would be difficult to eradicate them.

If he wants to eliminate these bad effects, he has to kill Xiangfu again, kill him completely, and at the same time kill Wei Ba, peel off the brilliance of the god general on his body, and let everyone see that the person who Xiang Fu follows is just a liar who pretends to be a god, not a god general at all.

There is no way back for him, only to move forward.

"Jingfu, how are those people under you?" Lu Kai turned his face sideways, but his eyes looked at a crawling ant on the city wall.

"Please rest assured, General." Huaigen arched his hand and respectfully performed a Chinese salute. "At that time, as long as the general gives an order, the warriors of our Xiongxi tribe will definitely rush forward and never retreat."

"Jingfu's courage and loyalty, of course I don't have any worries, but Wei Ba's erector is used to bluffing, he opened up rice fields in Chenyang, putting on a look of grace to the world, of course the discerning person knows that he is just a liar, but it is difficult to guarantee that someone will be deceived by him. You have to be careful to entrap your subordinates and tell them that no matter how much effort Wei Ba takes and how many rice fields he opens, as long as we hold the strict pass, it won't take a year and a half for him to starve to death, and when the time comes, the rice fields he opens will be your spoils. ”

Huaigen's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you, General." ”

"Those rice fields are all yours, but the position of the barbarian king belongs to you alone." Lu Kai raised his eyelids and looked at Huaigen quietly: "As long as you can assist Liu Senjun to defend Xiaoyan Pass." ”

Huaigen slapped his chest vigorously: "Don't worry, general, you will hand over Xiao Yanguan to me...... No, leave it to Liu to join the army, I will definitely do my best to assist him and ensure that he does not go on a business trip. ”

"Since Jingfu is so confident, then let's divide the work." Lu Kai laughed softly: "Liu joins the army, you and Jingfu together, lead 3,000 people to guard the small strict pass, and I will allocate 500 elites to you as personal guards." ”

Huaigen was stunned for a moment, his eyes a little nervous. Three thousand people guarded the small strict pass, which means that Lu Kai had to take away at least two thousand elites of the Xiongxi tribe from him.

"Jingfu, is there a problem?" Lu Kai noticed Huaigen's eyes, his face was smiling, but his eyes became sharp. "I'll give you 2,000 people's equipment, in exchange for your 2,000 warriors to help me guard the Great Strict Pass, after the battle, people, you take it back, the equipment, it's still yours, what do you think?"

Huaigen's eyes rolled and weighed. The equipment of the Wu army has always been the object of his covetousness, the warriors of the Xiongxi tribe have no standard weapons, except for the occasional capture of some trophies, most of them use wooden shields, bamboo bows, and wooden spears, compared with the standard armor of the Wu army, ring knives and iron spears, these weapons are too primitive. Now Lu Kai is willing to provide him with equipment for 2,000 people, so that his 3,000 people can exert the combat effectiveness of 6,000 people, and he still takes advantage of it.

Huaigen quickly made a decision, patted his chest and said boldly: "Even I, Huaigen, myself listen to the general's orders, and of course my subordinates are all arranged by the general. The general said what to do, I will do it. (To be continued......)
