Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 409
Yang Ren raised his knife and charged again. Xu Chu was hesitating how to pull him off his horse when he suddenly found a stone the size of a washbasin beside him, which was an anchor used to hold down a corner of the tent.

In the era of the Three Kingdoms, there were not many generals who played throwing, but Xu Chu and his predecessor Dian Wei were good at it. He dropped the Huoyun knife and easily picked up a big rock, aiming at Yang Ren's direction and throwing it vigorously.

Stones weighing dozens of kilograms were like toys in Xu Chu's hands. The exaggerated power was beyond Yang Ren's expectation. Facing the huge object being thrown, he pulled back the rein urgently, trying to avoid the stone-throwing attack through riding skills.

The horse was pulled so that its front feet were lifted off the ground, but the stone hit its hind thigh directly. The severe pain caused the horse's hind legs to lose support, and then fell sideways and backward like a mountain. Yang Ren was hit by a powerful force. Inertia was thrown out.

It landed heavily on the ground with a bang, Yang Ren was dizzy and was about to support himself to get up when he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing across the back of his neck.

Xiahou Dun strode up to catch up with a wave, which may be the reason why his one-eyed eye was more focused. The blade slashed across Yang Ren's neck very precisely, and Yang Ren's head turned a few times in the air and turned to the side of the road.

Seeing General Yang Ren being beheaded, those ghost soldiers who followed dropped their helmets and armor in an instant, and ran like birds and beasts into the depths of the camp in a panic.

"General Yuan Rang, this seems to be Zhang Wei's camp." Liu Ye pushed aside the guards and walked to the front.

Xiahou Dun looked at Liu Ye and Xu Chu who were confused, scratched his head and said embarrassingly, "Uh, it's dark and it's hard to see, I probably remembered it wrong."

Liu Ye looked around at the layout and realized that this was not a different camp, so he quickly cupped his hands: "This seems to be Zhang Wei's main camp outside the pass. I didn't expect that it would be so strong during the day, but it would be so unbearable at night. Why don't we Taking advantage of the enemy's retreat, follow the trend and sneak into Yangping Pass."

Xiahou Dun thought in his heart that there is such a good thing?But he only led more than a thousand soldiers and hesitated. At this time, the camps on the nearby hills sounded horns one after another, and Xiahou Dun recognized that it was the sound of retreating horns.

"General Yuan Rang, don't miss this opportunity." Liu Ye continued to advise.

"Let's follow Zhang Wei's defeated army and seize Yangping Pass according to Mr. Ziyang's words." Xia Houdun made a decision in his heart.

Xu Chu nodded and asked someone to light the torch. His mission was to protect Xiahou Dun's safety. Now he was going to fight Yangping Pass and he could only follow passively.

Liu Ye was overjoyed: "The two generals lead the troops first, and I will send someone back to the camp to report to the lord first."

Because no one knew how many people Cao Cao had come in the dark night, Zhang Wei was coerced by the rebel army and could only order to evacuate all the camps, and then he saw the light of torches all over the mountains and plains.

Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu didn't have time to clean up the supplies left by each other, and they also chased after the shouting defeated army.

Cao Jun's camp at the foot of the mountain had already been packed. Cao Cao waited for Xia Houyuan's return before setting off for Wudu, but soon found that the opposite side was full of flames.

Cao Cao thought that Xia Houyuan was discovered when he withdrew his troops, so Zhang Wei attracted a large-scale blockade.

In his early years, Cao Cao liked to use his troops dangerously, but in his later years, he was the Duke of Wei, so he was cautious and cautious in his military use.

In the face of emergencies, Cao Cao did not dare to deploy troops to rescue easily, but only sent a few teams of scouts to investigate the situation. After all, it is difficult to control the direction of occupation in night battles, and Cao's army is still attacking from the bottom up.

After about an hour, the fire on the mountain became weaker and weaker, and the sporadic stars were almost extinguished.

Cao Cao was very worried about what would happen to Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun. At this time, the scouts who went out to inquire brought back Liu Ye's men.

Cao Cao didn't expect Xiahou Dun's luck to be against the sky, and immediately mobilized his army to march towards Yangping Pass.

Zhang Wei fled back to the city of Yangping Pass in a panic. Yang Bai, who was guarding the pass, was awakened by the guards while he was sound asleep. He put on his armor and was going to see Zhang Wei. As soon as he walked out of the room, he noticed the commotion in the city.

Zhang Wei knew very well that Cao's army was among the defeated troops returning to the city, so Yangping Pass would definitely not be able to hold. After returning to the city, he did not stop at all, and fled to Nanzheng overnight.

Zhang Wei didn't have time to inform the sleeping Yang Bai, causing the general of Yangping Pass to be very confused on the road. He asked the guards beside him to stop a few soldiers to ask about the situation.

Deling's guard rushed forward, only to see the rushing man quickly draw his sword to be vigilant, and he happened to meet Xiahoudun impartially.

Xiahou Dun accidentally separated from Xu Chu after entering the city. He planned to take advantage of the chaos to occupy the command post in the pass, so he bumped into Yang Bai and the guards head-on.

"Blind man, where are you going? What's going on outside the city?" The guard pointed at Xiahou Dun and shouted, he looked like an officer in the dark night.

Xiahoudun hated people calling him blind the most. He picked up the saber and slashed suddenly, slashing the guard in two.

Yang Bai was dumbfounded, and the guards beside him rushed forward when they saw their companion was killed, and dozens of people fought together in chaos.

Yang Bai's guards were no match for Xiahou Dun's personal soldiers, and soon turned into a one-sided massacre.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Yang Bai followed the oil on the soles of his feet. He wanted to go to the stables to find a mount, but he was in a panic and bumped into Xu Chu at the corner.

"Which bastard with no eyes?" Yang Bai cursed while being knocked down, covering his forehead.

Xu Chu was looking for the direction to find Xiahou Dun, but he didn't expect to hit Yang Bai flying at the corner with tiger steps.

He took a closer look and found that he was not one of his own, and he was not dressed like an ordinary soldier, so he held the Huoyun knife tightly in his hand.

"Who are you?" Xu Chu asked coldly.

Yang Bai patted the dirt on his body, and shouted sharply: "Blind your dog eyes, you don't even recognize this general?"

"I don't know." Xu Chu's eyes were cold, and he took two steps forward slowly.

"The reckless man still wants to escape? You should know this thing, right? Can you go away after knocking down this general?" Yang Bai drew out his sword and sneered, then raised his sword and stabbed at Xu Chu.

Xu Chu used the Fire Cloud Knife to pick it lightly, and then chopped off the opponent shoulder to shoulder with a backhand. Poor Yang Bai died in the end.

Yang Bai released more than a hundred thousand people during these days. He dreamed that gold and silver piled up in his home, and there were countless beautiful wives and concubines. Unfortunately, he was woken up only halfway through his dream, and now he was stabbed by Xu Chu. Sent to sleep.

The turmoil at Yangping Pass lasted until midnight, and it was not until Cao Cao led an army into the pass that it gradually stabilized. No one thought that such a majestic and difficult pass was due to Xiahou Dun's luck.

After successfully capturing Yangping Pass, even if he completely knocked on the gate of Hanzhong, Cao Cao no longer had to worry about running out of food and retreating, and he also avoided the ridicule of the Yingchuan gentry. His old face was saved.

Although the grain reserves in Yangping Guancheng are not much, Cao Cao has always had a tradition of "borrowing grain" from the people. If the official treasury is not enough, he can directly borrow grain from the people.

Cao Cao rested at Yangping Pass for two days, then left general Zhu Ling in charge of Yangping, and led the army to Nanzheng.
