In front of the array of Yuan's army, pieces of war horses and human corpses were piled up in one place.

Many of the war horses whose owners were killed in battle were still walking back and forth among the corpses.

Standing in the Chinese army, Zhang He stared at the Cao army that was gradually moving away.

The cavalry of the Cao army led by Xiahou Yuan originally had as many as 2,000 people, but after a battle, there were only three or four hundred people left.

In this battle, Cao Jun suffered a big loss.

led the cavalry and fought with the Yuan army, and Xiahou Yuan's face was covered with blood.

After fighting hard, he finally led a group of Cao troops, and while the cavalry of the Yuan army had not retreated, he ran towards the high wall built by the Cao army.

Two thousand cavalrymen rushed out of the high wall, and they didn't take advantage of it at all, and they were killed by Yuan Jun and lost their armor.

Standing on the high wall, looking at Yuan Jun in the distance, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, raised his hand to point at Yuan Jun, and asked Guo Jia beside him: "Feng Xiao has a strategy, how to let someone get this Zhang He?" ”

Looking at Yuan Jun's array in the direction of Cao Cao's fingers, Guo Jia twisted his chin with his fingers, thought for a moment, and then said to Cao Cao with a smile: "Ming Gong and build a barrier from that Zhang He!" ”

"Huh?" Hearing that Guo Jia said that he wanted Zhang He to build a barrier, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and asked Guo Jia: "Fang Cai Fengxiao also said that our army is not well prepared, if it lasts, it will definitely not be the opponent of Yuan's army, how can you ask that Zhang He to build a barrier?" ”

"Yuan Shao has only one purpose, and that is to defeat Ming Gong!" Smiling slightly, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "From Yuan Shao's earlier instructions to Tian Feng and Frustration, it can be seen that this time he fought with Ming Gong with the determination to win!" Whoever raises a different opinion, Yuan Shao will suppress it! Zhang He is a wise general, leading the army to confront our army for a long time, and our army categorically supports it, but Yuan Shao will help Ming Gong from it! ”

After listening to Guo Jia's explanation, a smile appeared on Cao Cao's face.

He nodded, looked at each other with Guo Jia and said, "Wait until Yuan Shao has any scruples about Zhang He, and then spread some rumors from it, so that Zhang He can't come to a certain account!" ”

The two looked at each other, each other's faces full of smiles, and then turned their faces to the Yuan army camp outside the wall at the same time.

Defeated the 2,000 cavalry of the Cao army led by Xiahou Yuan, and many soldiers ran out of the Yuan army's camp and dug the foundation of the high wall in the wilderness.

Looking at Yuan Jun who was digging the foundation outside the high wall, Xiahou Yuan, whose face was covered with blood, ran behind Cao Cao, half-knelt on the ground, clasped his hands into fists, and said to Cao Cao with a face full of annoyance: "Duke Cao, the last general is incompetent......

Before Xiahou Yuan finished speaking, Cao Cao had already turned around and helped him up, and said with a slight smile: "Why did Miaocai say this? If it weren't for Miaocai's troops, how could Zhang He fall for the plan of filial piety? ”

Cao Cao's words sounded a little inexplicable to Xiahou Yuan.

After being helped up by Cao Cao, his mouth was slightly open, and he looked at Cao Cao in amazement, but he didn't know what plan Guo Jia had given Cao Cao again.

Zhang He's army arrived at Guandu, confronted Cao's army, and in the area of Luoyang, the two armies had already left the city, taking different routes and advancing to the east.

The one who led one of the large armies was Lu Bu, who was bent on making meritorious contributions earlier, but caused the Qin army to lose Xia Cai and Shouchun.

In the days when Lu Bu returned to Luoyang, Liu Wei did not blame him for the defeat, which made Lu Bu feel uneasy.

Riding on the lost and recovered red rabbit horse, Lu Bu carried Fang Tian's halberd and rode with Tai Shici and Zhang Liao.

After the army left Luoyang City, Lu Bu and others led the soldiers to stay overnight, Xuanyuan Pass was not very far from Luoyang, but in two or three days, the army led by Lu Bu and others arrived at the periphery of Xuanyuan Pass.

On both sides of the pass are high cliffs.

Standing at the pass, Lu Bu looked up at the steep cliffs on both sides, his brows furrowed slightly, and said to Tai Shici and Zhang Liao on the side: "Two generals, our army is here, if the Cao army guards the pass, I am afraid it will be difficult to attack for a while!" ”

"Wen Hou!" Before Lu Bu's words fell, Zhang Liao clasped his fists and said to him: "Your Highness has an order, but you just want us to harass Cao Jun, but you don't want to break Xuanyuan Pass!" ”

Tai Shici on the side, after Zhang Liao said this, also raised his fists and said to Lu Bu: "Wen Hou is sincere for his meritorious service, and we also know it, but in this battle, Wen Chang and others are the main ones, and our army is only supplemented, and I hope that Wen Hou will not be too greedy!" ”

Tai Shici's words were very polite, and there was a slight hint of blaming Lu Bu for being greedy that day.

Turning his head and glancing at Tai Shici, although Lu Bu didn't say anything, the look on his face was not very good-looking.

Although Yan Liang and Wen Chou are fierce generals who have been famous for a long time, Wei Yan is just a newcomer who has won a battle by luck.

In Lu Bu's heart, he really despised these people, and always felt that it was somewhat inappropriate for Liu Wei to hand over the task of the main attack to them.

Although he was quite slanderous about Liu Wei's arrangement in his heart, Lu Bu would never say it.

Since the defeat of Xuzhou, he once again served Liu Bian, and Liu Biao also rewarded him, even if Lu Bu had a restless heart, it was impossible to disobey Liu Bian.

Zhang Liao and Tai Shici both expressed their opposition to the army's main attack on Xuanyuan Pass, and Lu Bu did not argue, and said to an officer following behind him: "Pass the order, the army will be stationed outside Xuanyuan Pass!" ”

"No!" The officer clenched his fists in response, then turned his horse and shouted to the soldiers of the Qin army behind: "The army is stationed outside Xuanyuan Pass!" ”

With the order to be stationed, the soldiers of the Qin army followed Lu Bu and the others to advance much faster than before.

On the Xuanyuan Pass, the person in charge of guarding the pass was none other than Sun Guan, who had been defeated by Lu Bu earlier.

The Qingzhou Army, which led far more people than the Qin army under Lu Bu that day, was still defeated by Lu Bu, and now Sun Guan does not dare to despise Lu Bu and others.

The figure of Qin Jun appeared in Sun Guan's field of vision, looking at Qin Jun who was approaching Xuanyuan Pass, Sun Guan's brows twisted slightly, and he muttered in a low voice: "Why are there only these soldiers and horses?" ”

Thirty thousand Qin troops, unfolding the array, the number is also quite a lot.

But for Sun Guan, who led tens of thousands of Qingzhou troops to guard Xuanyuan Pass, this bit of soldiers and horses is really not enough.

Although the Qingzhou army said that its combat strength was not good, in the sequence of the Cao army, it was also ignored by Cao Cao, but the strength of the two sides was not equal, and the Qingzhou army was still holding the pass, and the Qin army was going to storm the Xuanyuan Pass.

The Qingzhou army, which had fought countless battles with the Qin army, looked at the Qin army wearing red armor that appeared in their field of vision from a distance, and their faces were already full of nervousness, and many of them even stretched out their tongues nervously and licked their lips.

The Qin army that appeared outside the pass did not advance to the pass as quickly as Sun Guan and all the Qingzhou troops at the pass imagined, but stopped at a long distance from the pass and set up camp on the spot.

Standing on the pass, he happened to see the Qin army camping, looking at this scene, Sun Guan was stunned, and he didn't know what the Qin army was rubbing.

"General, the Qin army doesn't seem to be in a hurry to attack the pass!" A partial general standing behind Sun Guan saw the Qin army stationed from a distance and said to Sun Guan: "What are they doing?" ”

Sun Guan didn't pay attention to the partial general, and he didn't know what the Qin army was rubbing.

The main force of Cao's army had already gone north to meet Yuan Shao, and only the Qingzhou army under his command remained in the Xuanyuan Pass area.

The combat power of the Qingzhou army has never been in the eyes of the Qin army, even if there are 100,000 Qingzhou troops at the pass, Sun Guan has no doubt that the 30,000 Qin army will dare to attack the pass.

However, the Qin army did not launch an attack on the pass as soon as he arrived outside the pass, as he imagined, but put on a posture of staying outside the pass for a long time.

"Send scouts to spy on the movements of the Qin army!" Finally, Sun Guan spoke, but he did not give too in-depth combat orders, but only ordered Guannai to send scouts to closely monitor the Qin army.

Sun Guan couldn't understand why the Qin army didn't attack the pass, and Lu Bu, who led the army to Xuanyuan Pass, also crossed his waist with his hands on his waist and looked at Xuanyuan Pass from afar.

Lu Bu knew very well that the one guarding Xuanyuan Pass was the Qingzhou Army, which had the worst combat strength among Cao's troops.

The Qingzhou Army, which has never been regarded as a similar army, led the army outside the Xuanyuan Pass, but could not launch a fierce attack on the pass, which really made Lu Bu feel a lot of boredom in his heart.

"Pass the order, the crossbowman will launch the rocket from a distance!" With his hands on his hips, Lu Bu finally gave an order, and said to a personal soldier behind him: "Sue the strong crossbowman, don't enter the range of Cao Jun's bow and arrow!" ”

"No!" The soldiers responded with their fists clenched, turned around and ran quickly into the barracks, conveying Lu Bu's order.

Standing beside Lu Bu, Tai Shi Ci and Zhang Liao looked at the pass of Xuanyuan Pass, and Tai Shi Ci asked Lu Bu: "Wen Hou just asked the strong crossbowman to launch the rocket, I don't know what it means?" ”

"No intentions!" Pouting and smiling, Lu Bu said to Tai Shici: "Your Highness wants our army to harass the enemy, I really can't think of anything, except for forcibly attacking the pass, what else can cause nuisance to the enemy army, so I will give the order first, let the strong crossbowmen fire arrows......"

Lu Bu's words came out, and Tai Shici and Zhang Liao both took a breath in unison.

Dare Lu Bu ordered the strong crossbowmen to launch rockets towards the pass, but there was no expected target at all, just to harass the Qingzhou army guarding Xuanyuan Pass.

Just when Zhang Liao and Tai Shici looked at Lu Bu with stunned expressions, many strong crossbowmen carrying strong crossbows ran out of the Qin army's barracks.

When the crossbowmen arrived outside the barracks, they didn't need to be greeted by officers at all, so they lined up one after another and advanced towards the pass of Xuanyuan Pass.

The neat array of crossbowmen pushed forward, and the soldiers' feet stepped on the dry ground, and with the sound of footsteps that shook the earth, the front of the crossbowman array was filled with heavy smoke and dust.
