Camps were set up in the pass, secret discussions were held in secret, and the Xiliang generals in the pass were not idle either.
There are two large flags erected side by side on the wall. Surrounding these two large flags, the school is clearly divided into two parts.
The generals and commanders under the banner with the word "Hu" all looked unruly and arrogant. In contrast, the group of people on the other side seemed a little listless, or it would be an exaggeration to say that they were downcast.
In the past, this situation would have been unimaginable. Even if they had the same military rank, the latter's status would be higher than that of the former, because they were direct descendants of the direct lineage and subordinates of General Ushifu.
Although Hu Zhen was also a direct descendant of Dong Zhuo, in terms of closeness, how could he compare to Niu Fu, who was his son-in-law?
But this time, that time, and now must be different from the past.
"Gongsun, could it be Gongsun Zan, the governor of Peiping? He really has a lot of intentions in coming all the way here!"
"That old man Tao Qian is here too, isn't he afraid that his old nest will be taken away? In the past few years, the Yellow Turbans have been so violent, but Xuzhou has not been harmed. I heard that Xuzhou is so rich that even ordinary households are getting older.
I don’t know what the old man is thinking. He can’t live a good and comfortable life. He has come all the way to drink this muddy water. It’s really a blessing. It’s a pity that the road is too long, otherwise..."
"There is also the banner of Yuan Jiujiu. This man was so happy in Lu Yang a few days ago. Why is he now coming to Hulao Pass? I really can't keep him idle, huh!"
"Stop talking about such gossip. Who knows who is flying the 'king' flag? Could it be..."
The discussion suddenly stopped, everyone looked at each other, and then invariably looked at the leader of the other group of people. They all looked like thieves, and their eyes were closed at the touch of a glance, leaving the person being looked at with anger.
, holding it in until his face turned red.
"Don't talk nonsense. When the soldiers and horses from outside the pass come to challenge, which general is willing to go to meet the enemy?" Seeing that the momentum was not right, Hu Zhen hurriedly went out to help Niu Fu build an encirclement.
The generals did not answer, but continued to peek at Niu Fu with amusement in their eyes.
Niu Fu was furious, but he couldn't get angry for a while. Thinking that Wang Yu was coming, he was also feeling heart palpitations at this time, and he simply couldn't muster the momentum to get angry.
While hesitating, Hu Zhen spoke again. He scolded with a straight face: "You bastards, how dare you treat Niu Zhonglang with this attitude? He is here to rescue us!"
"We still don't know who will rescue whom..." Someone muttered angrily.
"Hahaha..." The generals burst into laughter. Niu Fu's face became even worse. The generals behind him had no intention of retorting. They all drooped their heads, eager to find a hole to crawl in.
"These damn bastards!" He cursed bitterly, and Hu Zhen turned to Niu Fu in embarrassment, "Niu Zhonglang, the last general is lax in running the army, and his subordinates are used to being rude. Don't worry..."
"Humph!" Niu Fu finally found a step, snorted coldly, and walked away. His generals followed him as if they had been given a great order, and hurried away.
The generals of the defeated army are not brave enough, and their direct descendants are no longer the glory they once were. The atmosphere in the Xiliang army is closer to that of the Hu people, who only value bravery and do not care about family background.
Niu Fu rose to power through nepotism, but he had little ability. He had a few capable captains to help him before, but there was no trouble, and the generals did not dare to show his face openly.
But now there is no need to worry so much. When Niu Fu was in Heyin, Mengjin was disrespectful one after another. The last time was the collapse of the entire army, which embarrassed the people of Xiliang and made Prime Minister Dong extremely angry. If he didn't want his daughter
As a widow, Niu Fu was probably torn into pieces.
Who knows, Niu Fu came to Hulao Pass in name only to provide reinforcements, but in fact he came to avoid the limelight. He did not dare to return to Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo did not want to see him. At the same time, he was even more worried about letting him go to Hedong to lead troops.
The Hedong side is too important. If a similar fiasco happens again, the Xiliang army is in danger of being completely surrounded!
Therefore, we can only temporarily send him to Hulao Pass, and gather the remaining soldiers at the same time. He came with Niu Fu, and there was also a warrant. Dong Zhuo told Hu Zhen, just ignore Niu Fu, and must not let him
He was involved in military affairs.
The relationship between Hu Zhen and Niu Fu was originally normal.
He was born in the army and climbed up from the bottom, while Niu Fu relied on nepotism. The two of them were not from the same place, so naturally they could not get together.
Among the four major military departments of the Xiliang Army, there are actually distinctions. Niu Fu and Dong Yue are from the inner department, while Hu Zhen and Duan Xuan are from the outer department. After dividing the internal and external departments, the treatment is also very different, and naturally there is a difference between them.
I can't even see eye to eye.
The inner department looks down on the outer department, while the outer department is dissatisfied with the inner department.
Now that Niu Fu has lost power, Hu Zhen is scolding the generals in front of him, but he is secretly feeling happy in his heart. Of course, he is a smart man, and he knows the principle of not being close to each other, and will not reveal his true thoughts to the public. Anyway, he won't say it
, the rough guys under him will also speak for him.
Niu Fu left, and the generals had no intention of continuing to ridicule. They asked eagerly: "Commander Commander, is the news from Luoyang true?"
"What?" Hu Zhen was stunned.
"This is the reward from the Prime Minister! Anyone who captures Wang Yu alive will be granted the title of Marquis of Lieutenant, and a reward of ten thousand gold will be given; if he is killed, he will be made a Marquis of Neiguan, and the reward will be ten thousand gold!"
"How can it be false? The reward order was written in the handwriting of the Prime Minister!" Hu Zhen said with a blank look at the man who asked the question: "The Prime Minister made it clear, even if he is a pawn, as long as he can capture and kill Wang Yu, he can
Take this reward. Hey, you can reach the sky in one step! How about it, does anyone want to fight now?"
"I will go there eventually!"
"Captain Hua has fought many battles in a row, so let's give this opportunity to the general!"
"The last general..."
As soon as the heavy reward was announced, the crowd became furious, and Hu Zhen nodded repeatedly, indicating that his military morale was at his service.
"Don't worry, Jianpu. You have won many games and accumulated a lot of achievements. You are not far from becoming a lord. Why not give the opportunity to others first. If Wang Yu is as powerful as the rumors say, you
It’s not too late to fight again.”
"But..." Hua Xiong was a little reluctant. No one can have too much credit.
Hu Zhen pointed at Guan Guan, as if he had a pearl of wisdom in his hand: "The two armies are fighting, and martial arts exercises in front of the battle are only a minor thing. Only those so-called celebrities who are not familiar with the art of war will take it seriously. Looking at the enemy's lineup, there are very few elites.
, there are mostly heavy troops, we can fight with them temporarily to paralyze the opponent, and then use the whole army to attack them unprepared and defeat them with one blow. Only then can we avenge Meng Jindu with one stone."
"The commander-in-chief is wise, why not take advantage of the fact that the enemy is far away and the foothold is not stable, so how about launching a surprise attack?"
"Idiot! If we start now, what's the use of winning? If Wang Yu escapes among the rebels, a noble prince will be flying away alive!"
"Yes, the Commander-in-Chief is right, just wait with them first, and when Wang Yu takes action, then..."
In the chaos, someone suddenly pointed at Guan Guan and shouted: "Here we come, someone is challenging us!"
All the generals were overjoyed and hurriedly looked down the pass, only to see a general leaping on his horse and holding a spear, shouting loudly: "This is Yu She from Nanyang, who dares to fight!"
After a while of sighing after closing the door, only Hua Xiong grinned: "Now, no one will rob someone, right?" With that, he cheerfully picked up the sword and went out to fight.
Seeing the expressions of the generals, Hu Zhen couldn't help but cursed angrily: "What are you sighing for? Do you think Wang Yu can really be captured? Niu Zhonglang's strategy is indeed a bit poor, but Li Meng, Wang Fang and their martial arts are amazing
It’s not something you take lightly. In a one-on-one fight, who of you can guarantee victory? Don’t forget, the four generals Li Meng were all picked and killed in one encounter. Except for Hua Xiong, who of you can do that?”
"Then Governor Hua can guarantee victory?"
"This..."
Hu Zhen hesitated for a moment, "I think he still has the upper hand. Wang Yu's martial arts seems to be a close call. Hua Xiong's swordsmanship comes from a famous master. In addition to his bravery, he also has strict laws. Logically speaking, he is Wang Yu's nemesis...
However, it doesn’t matter even if Hua Xiong cannot win. As long as Wang Yu appears, I will attack him with his army. At that time, who can make a difference will depend on everyone’s ability.”
"The Commander-in-Chief's vision is far beyond our reach."
"Hahahahaha, okay, stop chatting, the generals will obey the order and come out of the pass to form an array. Let's watch General Hua kill the generals and capture the flag!"
"Here!"
It's a long story, but when the Xiliang army came out of the customs and formed their formation, Hua Xiong had already killed three generals in a row, and the Xiliang generals who were busy arranging their troops didn't see anything at all.
What made them even more disappointed was that after losing three generals, the coalition forces seemed to be frightened. No one came out at all, and the generals also cursed one after another.
What they didn't know was that the coalition forces were also making a lively noise.
"Bastard, bastard!" The three generals who were beheaded were all Yuan Shu's subordinates. He only had some guards around him. He thought he could get back some credit through single combat, but ended up losing three battles in a row and losing face. This is called
How could he be willing to do so?
"Go again, if one is not enough, just two, we must kill that Hua Xiong!"
Several generals under Yuan Shu had pale faces.
Yu She, who was the first to fight, was already the best in martial arts among them. The latter two were inferior in martial arts, but even Yu She could only survive three encounters, and the other two were killed instantly.
!Who dares to die?
Seeing that no one under his command responded, Yuan Shu became even more angry. Just when he was about to force the assignment, a person under the tent shouted out: "Young general is willing to cut off Hua Xiong's head and offer it to the tent!"
When everyone looked anxiously, they saw that it was Guan Yu, Liu Bei's sworn brother.
Liu Bei's expression immediately changed. The fight against Hua Xiong was something he had discussed with Guan Yu in advance. However, the timing of Guan Yu's request for a fight was too bad. Isn't this a slap in the face? With Yuan Shu's bad temper, after hearing this, he still...
…
Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, Yuan Shu jumped up, pointed at Guan Yu and cursed: "You deceive all our princes and have no generals? How dare you talk nonsense if you measure an archer! Fight, fight with me with a stick."
go out!"
He was almost going crazy. He didn't get any honors, but was slapped in the face by a pawn. If he could still bear it, he was born to a concubine!
Liu Bei looked at Gongsun Zan for help, but the latter could only respond with a helpless look. The relationship between classmates should be taken care of, but the alliance was obviously more important, and a small loss could lead to a big loss.
Tao Qian didn't even raise his head. With Yuan Shu's temper, if anyone tried to persuade him at this time, they might attract hatred to him, so why bother?
Guan Yu himself knew that something was wrong, but he had a very strong temperament, and he thought he was taking advantage of the etiquette, so he would not bow his head. Standing on the same spot, looking around, Yuan Shu's guards were frightened by his power, and for a while, the situation was tense.
Living.
Yuan Shu was almost furious. He simply ignored his guards and turned directly to Gongsun Zan, preparing for Gongsun Zan to step in and suppress him.
Liu Bei screamed in his heart, Guan Yu's face changed slightly, and even Zhang Fei, who was a little slow, became alert, and a pair of bull's eyes aimed directly at Yuan Shu's neck!
At the critical moment, Wang Yu spoke slowly: "Don't get angry, General Highway. Please listen to Wang Yu."
