Outside the northern defense line, the Beiyuan cavalry suddenly disappeared overnight, leaving only an empty camp, just when Shi Zhen ordered his subordinates to go to investigate clearly, the defenders of Jiagu Pass asked to see, Shi Zhen was puzzled, Jiagu Pass was located in a remote area, and the terrain was dangerous, the defenders of Jiagu Pass asked to see, which really made Shi Zhen a little puzzled, and he was still annoyed by the loss of news of the Beiyuan cavalry, and shouted: "Let him in!" The defenders of Jiagu Pass knelt on the ground and said: "Your boss, General Lu Chong ordered his subordinates to come and report overnight, the military situation in Jiagu Pass is urgent!" Shi Zhen sneered and said: " What happened to the military situation in Jiagu Pass?" The person who came lowered his head and said, "Back to the marshal, General Lu said, say, that the Beiyuan army is going to attack Jiagu Pass!" Shi Zhen raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Do you want the Beiyuan army to assemble under Jiagu Pass?" The person who came said hesitantly: "No, no!" Shi Zhen shouted: "Then how do you say that the military situation in Jiagu Pass is urgent, you are lying about the military situation, come and pull me down and behead!" The person hurriedly knelt down and begged: " The marshal spared his life, it was General Lu who said, and his subordinates also came to ask for help on General Lu's orders!" Shi Zhen sneered: "Jiagu Pass is in a dangerous terrain, if you want to take Jiagu Pass, you need at least 300,000 troops, is it still possible, are the people of Beiyuan stupid?" The person who came bowed his head on the ground and didn't know how to answer, because this was also the doubt in his heart, but Lu Chong didn't explain to him at all, only an order for help.

Yu Ze was around Shizhen, and said: "Marshal, the whereabouts of the Beiyuan army are unknown now, will it be ......" Shizhen said: "General Yu is worried, Ben Shuai has also thought about it, it will take at least a day to travel from here to Jiagu Pass, last night the Beiyuan army was still in front of our phalanx, how could it arrive at Jiagu Pass today?" Yu Ze also had some doubts, and said: "Marshal, are you familiar with General Lu Chong?" Shizhen looked at Yu Ze puzzled: "What does General Yu mean?" Yu Ze said: " Those thieves in Nanzhou have suddenly stopped recently, and the marshal has been worried, and now the Beiyuan army has suddenly disappeared, there must be a trick in it, if the Beiyuan army really appears in Jiagu Pass, the 600,000 army, the defenders of Jiagu Pass, I am afraid that they will not be able to stop it for even two days. However, we took the liberty to support the remote Jiagu Pass, if the Beiyuan cavalry did not appear there, we were afraid that it would be too late to return to help, so we can only judge according to General Lu's character and ability at the moment!" Shi Zhen recalled: "Lu Chong, Ben Shuai and him rarely intersect, but there are several sides of the relationship, Lu Chong is too steady, more than enough as a city defender, but it is not good to charge into battle, and this person is arrogant, a little too pedantic, and words such as tending to inflammation and attaching to the situation will not appear in his mouth at all!" However, with his steady and cautious character, he should not dare to lie about the military situation if he is not sure!" There were many generals in the room unconsciously, all with serious faces, and at this time, someone from Jiagu Pass came and said softly: "General Lu said that if the marshal leads the army to set off before the time, Jiagu Pass can be safe, if he leaves at the right time, General Lu is willing to lead all the defenders of Jiagu Pass to fight to the death, and Jiagu Pass has a chance to be guaranteed, if it ......" The people who came caught a glimpse of Shi Zhen and the others showed anger on their faces, and they didn't dare to say more.

Lu Chong, as Shi Zhen's subordinate, just said something that seemed to be a request, but it was no different from an order, which was tantamount to provoking Shi Zhen's majesty, but the matter was urgent, Shi Zhen could only endure his anger and asked: "What if?" The person said softly: "If the marshal still doesn't leave after a while, General Lu said that he is willing to defend the pass to the death, but Jiagu Pass will be lost!" Some generals said angrily: "This Lu Chong dares to threaten the marshal, and if he commits a crime, he has no military law!" Yu Ze looked at the map and frowned slightly, and had some admiration for this Lu Chong in his heart, and said: " Everyone, look at it!" Yu Ze pointed to the map, but several tiger generals had a careless understanding of military law, and said: "What to see, what is beautiful about the map, the surrounding area is in the mind of the last general!" Shi Zhen looked in the direction of Yu Ze's finger and exclaimed: "Ah Lan Mountain?" Yu Ze smiled slightly: "The handsome is wise, but General Lu Chong's words are inappropriate, but General Lu's delicacy is admired!" Some generals suddenly realized, and some generals were still puzzled.

。 Shi Zhen frowned tightly and asked, "Has the person who inquired about the news come back?" After a while, there was still no response, Shi Zhen asked, "What time is it?" Yu Ze said respectfully: "Now half of the hour has passed!" Shi Zhen said: "Starting at the right time, we can cross the Alan Mountain in the unitary time, march overnight after the Alan Mountain, and arrive at Jiagu Pass as soon as tomorrow!" If you set off after noon, you can only reach Alan Mountain when it is dark, and in the season of Alan Mountain at this time, the wind does not stop, the dark clouds cover you, the night is dark, and the steep and slippery Alan Mountain makes it impossible for the army to pass at all! But now it is impossible to determine the whereabouts of the Beiyuan army, and Ben Shuai does not know what to do?" At this time, the spies rushed into the camp and reported: "A large number of horseshoe marks have been found thirty miles east of here!" Yu Ze and Shi Zhen exclaimed at the same time: "Jiagu Pass!" Seokjin immediately ordered the army to prepare, and the army must be sure to set off on time!

On the wall of Jiagu Pass, the guards came to report: "General, a large number of Hu Que flew back to Jiagu Pass!" General Lu smiled slightly and said: "Order all the soldiers to cheer up, the wolf is coming, give me a hard beat!" The guard said: "Yes!" Lu Chong secretly said in his heart: "Whether Shizhen Jiagu Pass can be kept, and whether the northern defense line can be stable, depends on whether you can find the shelf of the big handsome!" At this time, a general came to report: "General, a large number of Hu Que landed in your mansion, please show the general!" Lu Chong smiled: " These finches are all raised by the general, so naturally they are going to fly back to the general's mansion!" Lu Chong looked at the general's face full of doubts and said: " Although Jiagu Pass is located in a remote area, the terrain is dangerous, but the defenders are less than 10,000, once there is really an enemy attack, the dangerous terrain can not only protect us but also become an obstacle to block reinforcements, the reinforcements are difficult to arrive in time, Jiagu Pass will be very dangerous, so the general placed a large number of Hu Gu in the mountains and forests in front of 50 miles, and now a large number of Hu Gu Que flew back, indicating that they were frightened, and then according to the report of the spies we sent out in disguise, the prince of Beiyuan led thirteen sons, nearly 600,000 troops from 32 tribes, coming to the east, 600,000 troops before the reinforcements arrived, only we Jiagu Pass could be capturedNow that the Hu Que has flown back, it means that the Beiyuan army is less than fifty miles away from our Jiagu Pass!" The guard general said: "That's why the general will send people to the camp in the south of the town to ask for help!" Lu Chong said: "Bows and arrows, horizontal logs, and boulders are well prepared, and a hard battle awaits us!" The general said respectfully: "Yes!" Lu Chong could vaguely see the Hu Que flying in the sky, and looked up to the sky and smiled.
