As soon as the news reached Xingyang, half of Xu Rong's Xiliang soldiers fled within three days. Soldiers are still deserting every day. Xu Rong tried his best to stop and provide support, but with little effect. Xu Rong has always been under the influence of regular Xiliang soldiers.
Li Que and others were excluded, and Dong Zhuo did not trust him very much. This was the purpose of arranging two of his trusted generals in Chenggao and Hulao Pass.
Now that Li Que and Guo Si have escaped, Xu Rong independently takes up the responsibility of defending Xingyang. He never forgets to be loyal to the emperor and guard the first pass in the world for the emperor. Now the entire Xingyang can still use less than 10,000 troops.
The whole of Xingyang is too important in terms of military geography. It has not only Chenggao but also military strategic points such as Hulao Pass. Li Lai is a battleground for military strategists. Xu Rong set out for Chang'an yesterday. While expressing his allegiance to the emperor, he hoped that
Wang Yuneng sent more troops to Xingyang.
If Cao Cao still had tens of thousands of troops like he had when he attacked Xingyang last time, he would be able to capture Xingyang in one fell swoop. Even if he marched straight in and captured Chang'an, it would not be impossible, but who would want to bear the burden of this usurper and rebellion?
Infamy. After all, Wang Yun and Lu Bu were nominally assisting the emperor and killing traitorous ministers.
How could Hulao Pass not be guarded by heavy troops when it was such an important place? Before leaving, Xu Rong had no choice but to go to several nearby villages and the county town to dispatch manpower to respond to emergencies.
This is how the pavilion chief was transferred from a mountain valley. In a thatched house made of rocks at the North Gate Checkpoint, there was a woman with disheveled hair burning a stove. The pavilion chief was lying beside the stove.
While holding a bowl of wine, he played with the woman's breasts. The woman's breasts were huge and extremely white. They shivered and reflected the light of the stove fire, like steamed buns about to be baked.
Tonight it was the pavilion chief's turn to be on duty. There were a few soldiers on duty at the checkpoint, so he didn't need to worry about it. So he lay down comfortably in the spear house to rest.
Naturally, the soldiers under him who were guarding the gate were also in a lack of spirits, and they all changed their ways. The spear house where they took shelter from the rain and rested was occupied by the commander, so they had to take turns to find a place to hide.
This woman was picked up by the pavilion chief from somewhere else before nightfall. Not to mention the current chaos of war, no one is taking care of her. Even if someone is taking care of her, with his hooligan habit of doing nothing in the mountains, he will not be able to survive after nightfall.
What are you doing here! Military discipline is nothing to an old man like him!
The woman repeatedly scooped porridge made from grain flour mixed with wild vegetables into the long bowl. Whenever she leaned over, most of her breasts would inevitably be exposed from the slanted collar, which attracted people.
I went to see the chief of the pavilion.
While drinking porridge, the director of the pavilion talked to the woman in a nonchalant manner: "Little beauty, you can follow the uncle from now on! The uncle is going to be prosperous this time. Don't look at the fact that the uncle has just been transferred to this company."
I am a pavilion chief in Shuizhen. I think back then, the great ancestor Liu Bang also started from this pavilion chief, and later he conquered the world! I don’t expect to win the world. But now that the court is in trouble, it is my opportunity to seize tomorrow.
Maybe I can transfer you to be a bodyguard in front of the emperor. If I do some meritorious service, I might be able to become the county magistrate that day, haha...quot;
As he spoke, the pavilion director laughed to himself. What did he say next? He couldn't remember clearly. After all, they were all insignificant words. Then the pavilion director's attention was almost devoted to
That pair is above.
Later, the chief of the pavilion "had eaten enough" and went to pay homage to the withered grass behind the hut. Just as he was about to girdle his waist after the ceremony, he heard the rustling of the grass again.
When the director of the pavilion looked around in surprise, he saw the woman coming out. The bad luck started from this moment. The woman showed him not only her white and fat breasts, but also her buttocks which were more attractive than her breasts.
.For some reason, this woman crawled into the grass backwards. The pavilion leader stood up, and his buttocks and vagina were clearly visible from above.
Just as the pavilion director was smiling, thinking that this woman was really interesting, and pulling up his belt and preparing to enjoy the wild life, a net for catching rabbits fell from the sky, and the pavilion director and the woman were caught in the net at the same time. What followed next
When he made a sound, a sap hit him hard on the brain...
Le Jin followed other passing business travelers and easily passed the customs before dusk.
The purpose of Le Jin's trip was to investigate the situation in the town and look for a breakthrough. A lonely stick of cooking smoke was sticking straight into the clouds. Le Jin was immediately attracted by the smoke and waited for a long time behind the thatched house. It happened to be the unrelated person.
The important "gossip" aroused Le Jin's interest, which led Le Jin to identify this pavilion chief.
It has passed the beginning of autumn, and the weather has suddenly become hot. People in Xingyang area have sweat on their backs before they can put on their autumn clothes and autumn trousers. After nightfall, chickens do not want to roost. Therefore, they all say this
There is something wrong with the season.
There were four horses standing beside a gray mountain road. The war horses snorted, and the snorts of the horses were intermittently mixed with the muffled thunder in the sky.
Xu Chu's expression looked solemn and a little anxious. While he loosened his belt a little to let the night wind blow more into the right robe of his collar, he asked Cao An on the left: "What's wrong with the solar terms? How can I do it?"
So stuffy?quot;
"Today is the tenth day of September! The beginning of autumn has just passed."
It was Cao Zhi who answered. Cao Zhi looked up at the sky as if he was looking for the moon, but the sky was so dark that not even a single star could be seen, not to mention the moon.
"Are you anxious?" Cao Zhi asked without squinting.
"En." Xu Chu said sincerely.
There was no message on Cao Zhi's face, and he wasn't saying anything.
Li Dian and Cao An looked at each other, not daring to say anything, and then waited silently.
"Big brother!"
A cheerful voice suddenly sounded at a corner of the mountain road. Everyone immediately beamed with joy, and even Cao Zhi was moved this time.
"Little boy Le, you are back, I almost killed you"
"Ah! Big brother has gained something!"
...
After these people talked and discussed in low voices for a while, they dispersed. Their figures quickly melted into the night, but the sound of hoofbeats still echoed clearly on the stone road for a long time.
...
Later, fires occasionally appeared in various mountains and forests, and groups of sergeants poured out of the mountains and forests, but there was no sound. Only the sound of horse hooves and orderly footsteps were heard. This was obviously an army advancing rapidly.
Countless men and horses sneaked out of the jungle, dead trees, and bushes of grass. The shy moonlight secretly illuminated a group of men and horses that had just emerged from the forest. After quickly gathering in one place, they followed the leadership of the general and sneaked towards the checkpoint.
The night was getting dark, and crickets were chirping tirelessly. Occasionally, fireflies were flying in the shadows of the trees, creating blurred halos. The soldiers guarding the gate were staring at the fireflies in fascination, and their eyes were a little blurry.
Suddenly, a group of figures appeared in his blurred eyes. The soldier who thought he was dazzled rubbed the corners of his eyes that were stained with eye drops, and took a closer look. It was indeed a figure.
