Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 281

Fei Qian and Zhang Liao hid behind the bushes, looking at the city wall of Hangu Pass that was burned to pieces by Fei Qian.

In order not to let the people of Hangu Pass notice, Zhang Liao's large army was still behind, but Zhang Liao and Fei Qian sneaked up to observe quietly with their personal guards.

Just as Fei Qian didn't expect to meet Zhang Liao's troops so soon, Zheng Cui naturally didn't expect Luoyang's troops to come so soon.

After all, in the original plan, if an army wanted to pass through Gucheng, Lieutenant Yang would send someone to give an early warning, but now that Lieutenant Yang had been beheaded by Zhang Liao, it was naturally impossible to send any information, so the current Zheng I just rest assured and boldly wait for the people from the west of the city to enter the city...

Hangu Pass was closed, and the turrets of the Observation Tower had completely collapsed. There was a pile of broken bricks and tiles, which were being slowly cleaned up by the peasants. The Jiming Tower was also affected, but the turrets had not completely collapsed yet. It is supported by several wooden pillars, and it is also being repaired...

The rivets and iron bars on the east gate were burnt and distorted. Most of the wooden gate was carbonized and unusable. The craftsmen were removing the gate, removing the iron bars and rivets, and nailing the gate again.

Zhang Liao looked at the burnt pitch-black city walls and ruined city gates, and couldn't help but clicked his tongue: "Ziyuan can set the fire well!"

"Hehe, those kerosene were originally prepared to deal with you..."

"Ziyuan's fire is really good!" Zhang Liao twitched the corners of his mouth and repeated it. Although the words used were the same, the underlying tone was different.

"How is it?" Fei Qian pointed to the half-broken East City Gate and said, "It looks like it may be completely restored today, and we need to seize the opportunity to act!"

After all, the army was led by Zhang Liao. Although Fei Qian really wanted to go back to Hangu Pass to get the letter back, Zhang Liao's nod of agreement was still needed.

The city gate has always been the weak link of the city gate. Fei Qian burned and carbonized the east gate, but there must be spare wood for this kind of thing, drag it out and put rivets and iron bars on it again, replace the burnt parts, and it will be fine.

This time, the fire fired by Fei Qian burned a large area, and even the government offices in the inner city were affected, so some craftsmen were transferred to repair Zheng Guanling's mansion, even if the speed of repairing the barriers was slower. If you accept it, you can't let Tangtang not even have a place to live, right?
Attacking Hangu Pass with one missing watchtower and damaged city gates and a complete Hangu Pass are two completely different concepts. Zhang Liao also quickly made up his mind. Just like what Fei Qian said, this This kind of opportunity is fleeting. If it is delayed for another two days, the gates and other facilities are completely restored, and the price to be paid if you want to attack again will definitely be greater.

More importantly, Zhang Liao was also a little worried. If it was true that Hangu Pass was occupied and blocked the road to the west, would Li Ru send Xiliang soldiers to take the lead?

The Luoyang Northern Army and the Bingzhou Army must be the vanguards first!

When it really comes to that time, how many of his men will be left?

You must know that the military law is harsh, and you must be held accountable for being defeated and dying. Maybe even if you don't give your life on the battlefield, you will be beheaded under the drums of Yuanmen!
So it's better to take advantage of this opportunity and seize Hangu Pass first!

××××××××××
Four or five miles to the west of Hangu Pass, Yu Fuluo looked at the clansmen behind him. There were 1000 people when he crossed the river, but now only people in their early [-]s are left intact, and nearly a hundred people have brought such and such. injury, as for the others...

In exchange for [-] carts of food and grass, [-] sets of armor, and some equipment captured in the battle, the money calculated on the basis of the head was also exchanged for daily necessities such as salt oil, cloth, etc.

Is it worth it?
Yu Fuluo asked himself silently.

If I was King Youxian, I would definitely say it was worth it without even thinking about it, but when I became Shan Yu and saw the death of one by one, it was really hard to say whether it was worth it or not...

Yu Fuluo turned the horse's head, rode the horse and swung the whip, and shouted, "Stand up for the plow! We're going home!"

"Ah oh oh oh..." the Hun cavalry roared one after another, followed Yu Fuluo, and drove the cart away.

Zheng Cui stood beside an old man respectfully, watched Yu Fuluo go away, opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything in the end.

"Is my Hongnong Yang family an untrustworthy person?" Although the old man didn't look at Zheng Chu, he seemed to have seen his expression, and said slowly, as if he was talking about Yu Fuluo of the Southern Huns, or facing Zheng Chu said.

"Wei!" Zheng Cui replied quickly and respectfully. Although the elder of Hongnong Yang's family does not hold any official position in the court, Zheng Cui knows that the old man in front of him also has a lot of resources in the Yang family. Hangu Guanling, but in front of this elder, it is really nothing...

This time, the Hongnong Yang family joined forces in the middle and planned a big show, just for Hangu Pass.

Originally, Guo Pu was in the pass, holding the military power and guarding the city gate. Even if Zheng Cui had any thoughts, he couldn't do anything. Now it's different. Guo Pu was lured out of Hangu Pass and died on the battlefield. , Hangu Pass is the final decision of Zheng Chu alone, and now there are two thousand "yellow turban thieves" standing neatly lined up on the side of the road...

The elders of the Yang family said: "Zheng Guanling, two thousand soldiers are now delivered to you. After two days, another three thousand soldiers will be added! The responsibility of guarding the pass is very heavy, so please take care." Note that Hongnong Yang's concentration of private soldiers is carried out secretly, so they can only be dispatched to Zheng Chu in batches.

Anyway, now that Hangu Pass is under control, there will be no big problem for two days sooner or later.

Zheng Chu hurriedly cupped his hands again and said, "Wei! You should do your best and dare not make any mistakes!"

Elder Yang nodded, and then asked casually: "The fire in Hangu last night, is Guan Yi all right?"

Zheng Chu lowered his head and replied: "I dare not hide it, it is slightly damaged, but it can be restored today, and there should be no serious problems."

Elder Yang said "Yes", "So, I will leave first. Zheng Guanling, Mianchi, you don't need to worry, there are others to deal with. You only need to block the army of Luoyang for a month, and you will be counted as the first merit!"

Zheng Kui worshiped again, and Wei Wei responded: "Kuu will guarantee that Hangu will be safe!"

The old man smiled slightly, got on his horse, and bowed his hands at Cui, and then left with twenty personal guards, handing over the command of two thousand "Yellow Turban Thieves" to Zheng Cui.

Zheng Cui stood respectfully all the time, until he could no longer see the elders of the Yang family, he walked up to the two thousand soldiers, coughed twice, and before he could say a few words, he suddenly saw a cavalry galloping towards Hangu Pass. Come!

Zheng Chu's heart sank involuntarily!
"Report—" The soldier almost rolled off his horse, and reported, "Reporting to the customs order, Dong Zhuo's army suddenly appeared in the east of the city and is rushing to attack the east gate! It is almost impossible to defend! Please send reinforcements to the customs order!"

Zheng Cui was shocked, his face turned pale, how did Dong Zhuobing come so fast?

Where did the soldiers come from?
Why didn't Gucheng send any early warning information?
What's more, I just patted my chest to the elders of the Yang family to guarantee the ticket, and now Hangu Pass has been attacked in the blink of an eye!

What if something goes wrong? !

Zheng Cui hurriedly ordered that the whole army rush to Hangu Pass at full speed, and Dong Zhuo's army must be blocked outside Hangu Pass!

　Cao Cao lost Guo Jia, and asked Xun Yu for a great sage...

　　Xun Yu made a calculation, saying that there is great power in Longzhong, and the Lord needs to go in person to hope to log in...

　　So Cao Cao went to Longzhong in person, and had a good talk with Zhuge, which increased a lot of intimacy, and made an appointment to meet again the next ten days...

　　In the next ten days, Cao Cao went again, and the Caolu Shutong informed: "Due to the script requirements, Mr. Liu Huangshu has logged in..."
