Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 439 Breaking the Hulao Pass

"Chen Gongtai said so, does it mean that he doesn't want to be an official under the tent of the Taiwei?" Jia Xu asked with a wicked smile when he heard Chen Gong's words.

"Over there, it is Chen Gong's fortune to be favored by the Taiwei. Chen Gong is willing to work for the Taiwei under the Taiwei's tent." Hearing Jia Xu's words, Chen Gong knew Jia Xu clearly. He was laughing at himself, but Chen Gong didn't care, and quickly bowed down to Lu Bu.

"Hehe, with the help of the public platform, Lu Bu is like a tiger with wings added." Seeing Chen Gong bowing down, Lu Bu burst into laughter and quickly stepped forward to help Chen Gong up.

"My lord, when will my lord plan to send troops to Yanzhou?" Seeing that Lu Bu was happy, Chen Gong took the opportunity to ask about the affairs of Yanzhou. Although Chen Gong had joined Lu Bu now, he did not forget his purpose of coming here.

"When does Gongtai think I should leave? How many people do I need to bring with me?" Hearing Chen Gong's question, Lu Bu asked with a slight frown.It must be that Lu Bu doesn't have many people at his disposal now, and Wancheng has already started a war with Yuan Shu. Once they start a war with Cao Cao, they really don't have enough strength to deal with the attacks from both Yuan Shu and Cao Cao.

"Hehe, my lord, don't worry too much. Cao Cao's expedition to Xuzhou, Yanzhou is empty. Your lord only needs to lead five thousand elites to take control of Yanzhou." Facing Lu Bu's question, Chen Gong said with a soft smile, obviously Looks very confident.

A few days later, on a dark and windy night, Zhang Miao quietly came to the ferry of the Yellow River with his men and horses, and saw many ships coming down the river in the distance, and they were also gathering here.But there was a middle-aged scribe standing on the bow of the first boat, this person was none other than Chen Gong.

After the boat docked, Zhang Miao hurriedly stepped forward and saw a person walking out of the boat behind Chen Gong. This person was wearing a golden armor and a fiery red cloak billowing slightly in the wind, but Zhang Miao recognized him immediately. This person is none other than Lu Bu.

"Chenliu Grand Administrator Zhang Miao, I pay my respects to Your Majesty Taiwei." Seeing Lu Bu approaching, Zhang Miao hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Hahaha, it's the court's blessing that Master Zhang Miao is able to turn his heart to the court. As expected, there is no shortage of loyal and patriotic people in the Central Plains." Seeing Zhang Miao, Lu Bu hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said a few words of comfort.

And as Lu Bu disembarked, soldiers emerged from the boat behind him.It turned out that Cao Cao sent Xiahou Dun to guard the Hulao Pass early in the morning, making it impossible to pass between Yanzhou and Sizhou, so Lu Bu had to bring troops and horses to come by water, but fortunately Lu Bu brought only his most elite five soldiers. Qianlangqi didn't use many ships, if there were more soldiers and horses, the transportation would be a bit of an air crash.

"Your officer has already prepared the banquet, and I will welcome General Lu Bu in Chenliu." Seeing Lu Bu's soldiers and horses getting off the boat, he was obviously in a daze. Although these soldiers were strong, they were only used to fighting on land. Although there were no storms, many soldiers were unavoidably depressed, so Zhang Miao spoke out.

"Not in a hurry, the military situation is urgent. Let's settle the following matters first. After Cao Cao is dealt with, we will have plenty of time to have a good time." Lu Bu declined Zhang Miao's kindness, and stretched out his hand to gesticulate behind him. A group of people appeared, and the first one was none other than Pei Yuanshao who followed Zhang Linger and defected to Lu Bu.

"My lord, we are ready and we can leave at any time." Pei Yuanshao hurriedly stepped forward to salute Lu Bu when he saw Lu Bu greet him.

"You have to be careful when you go here." Lu Bu glanced at Pei Yuanshao and the soldiers behind him, and then told Pei Yuanshao.

According to the situation introduced by Chen Gong to Lu Bu, since Zhang Yan's death, although the Yellow Turban Army surrendered to Cao Cao and was organized into the Qingzhou Army by Cao Cao, Guo Jia also seemed to be doing something in Puyang.However, it was precisely because of Zhang Yan's death that Cao Cao's reputation among the surrendered Yellow Turban Army was not good, but at this time, any leader of the Yellow Turban Army dared not and was unwilling to jump out to complain for Zhang Yan, but This kind of dissatisfaction settled in the hearts of the Yellow Turbans was exactly what Lu Bu could use at this time. As long as he could contact some Yellow Turban generals and add the power of Lu Bu and Zhang Miao, then Puyang would be in Lu Bu's hands.

"My lord, is this?" Seeing Pei Yuanshao and his party disappearing into the darkness, Zhang Miao asked a little puzzled.

"I'll let these people go to Puyang and help me convince those Yellow Turbans. As long as they lose the support of those Yellow Turbans, I'm afraid Cao Cao's Qingzhou Army should also be disbanded." Looking at Zhang Miao's curious eyes, Lu Bu did not hide it, but To tell the truth, the two will definitely cooperate in the future, and at this time they should trust each other even more.

"It turns out that the general is really good at strategy." Hearing Lu Bu's explanation, Zhang Miao's heart moved, and he had some respect for Lu Bu, but seeing that there were only five thousand soldiers behind Lu Bu, Zhang Miao became a little worried: " Didn’t the general only bring these soldiers and horses?” Cao Cao’s army must be strong, and Lu Bu’s only [-] soldiers and horses are obviously not enough.

"Hehe, although I have few soldiers and horses here, but there are generals here, why should I care about the number of soldiers and horses?" Seeing Zhang Miao's worry, Lu Bu said indifferently, and continued to ask: "I don't know if Mr. Zhang Miao has any?" How many people?"

"Xiaguan Chenliu has [-] soldiers and horses here. In addition, other counties and counties also have former servants of Xiaguan. I have already told them that as long as our army arrives, they will naturally open the city gate for us. Facing Lu Bu's question, Zhang Miao said confidently.

"That's very good. Why don't you follow me to Hulao Pass tonight? As long as Hulao Pass is breached, reinforcements from Sizhou can enter Yanzhou continuously." Seeing that Zhang Miao had already made arrangements, Lu Bu went out. He invited Zhang Miao.

It was night, Xiahoudun was tossing and turning, he always felt his complexion was hot, his eyelids were throbbing, but he was restless after tossing and turning, so he had to get up and go out for a walk.

"General, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, has something to see the general." At this moment, a soldier ran over to report to Xia Houdun.

"Zhang Miao? Why does this guy remember that Hulao Pass is closed?" Since Xiahou Dun came to Hulao Pass to guard, except for the officers and soldiers who came to deliver food and grass on time, no officials have come to see Xiahou Dun. At this time, they heard Zhang Miao I was a little surprised when I came here. Zhang Miao must be a senior figure in Yanzhou, not a member of Cao Cao's faction, and not close to Xiahou Dun.However, Zhang Miao's qualifications are there, and Xiahou Dun cannot be neglected.Xiahoudun hesitated for a while and ordered: "Please come to see me." Although Xiahoudun didn't like to see an old man like Zhang Miao, he couldn't keep him outside the city wall in the middle of the night.

In the middle of the night, Lu Bu wrapped himself in a black robe and followed closely behind Zhang Miao.The familiar image of Hulaoguan stood before his eyes.

"Boom." After a burst of noise, the gate of Hulao opened slowly, and a row of soldiers ran out of it, and said to Zhang Miao, "My general invites you, sir."

"Hmph, Xiahou Dun is so arrogant, he didn't come out to see me, didn't he even take Cao Cao's order?" Seeing the soldier in front of him come out, Zhang Miao snorted coldly.Then he kicked the belly of the horse that was sitting down, and then walked into Hulao Pass with a group of soldiers swaggeringly.

"Hahaha, Lu Bu from a certain family came to forcibly pass the pass, and you still won't surrender?" As soon as he entered the Hulao pass, Lu Bu saw that there was no ambush left and right, so he took off the black robe he was wearing, and shouted loudly, Dian Wei behind him led his soldiers and horses on a rampage.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack." As Lu Bu's army rushed around, the alarm suddenly sounded in Cao's camp, and the atmosphere of war swept the entire Hulao Pass.

"It seems that Hulao Pass has already broken out, and the army is ordered to attack." Outside Hulao Pass, on the side of Sizhou, Jia Xu sat quietly on his horse and looked at Hulao Pass in front of him. Zang Ba, Pang De, Cao Xing, Tai Shici, and Fan Chou sat quietly on their horses, staring at the Hulao Pass not far away without saying a word, while twenty-five thousand people stood darkly behind them. Soldiers, this is the first batch of troops Lu Bu prepared to deal with Cao Cao. Of course, Lu Bu will send troops to Yanzhou if necessary, but the premise is that it will not affect the defense of the other three states.

Looking at the 30 soldiers standing behind him, and at the several generals in uniform behind him, Jia Xu sighed and said, "It seems that I need to work again." His plan to have [-] soldiers and horses was based on the fact that Lv Bu owned the land of the three states, but now that Lv Bu started to attack Cao Cao, Jia Xu felt that he had become more courageous. In addition to Zhang Liao's [-] soldiers and Zhang Xiu's [-] soldiers, Jia Xu only had [-] soldiers left to garrison, and they were all recruits. Jia Xu was already stretched thin, although Lu Bu left for Jia Xu The green light was given, which means that Jia Xu can call the shots and recruit another [-] soldiers, but the training of soldiers and horses is a big problem.Although the field soldiers do not need much training, Jia Xu understands that Lu Bu asked him to recruit soldiers. Although they are field soldiers in name, in fact, these soldiers and horses may go to the battlefield at any time, so neither Cao Cao nor Yuan Shu are easy to deal with. of.

"Boom." Just as Jia Xu was thinking wildly, the closed door of the Hulao in front was opened from the inside out amidst the chaos.A majestic body appeared inside the gate at this time, and everyone looked at it, and it was Dian Wei who it was.

At the same time, there was chaos on the tower of Hulao Pass, and a figure wearing golden armor and holding Fang Tian's painted halberd appeared on the tower, but it was Lu Bu.

"Kill, kill, kill." Seeing Lu Bu's figure, all the soldiers outside the city shouted without waiting for the generals to greet them. There was a tremor, and countless birds and beasts fled in all directions.
