The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 524 Let's follow Cao, climb the mountain and break through the customs

Hanzhong is gradually settled, and the Central Plains area is once again fighting.

It was May, and Yuan Shao, Mu of Jizhou, sent [-] troops to challenge Dong Zhuo, and the world was shocked.

Compared with last year's gathered response, this time, the princes from all over the country have obviously learned a lot, and there are many people who support Yuan Shao, but no one sends troops to gather with him, and they all look forward to it.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao didn't want to count on them, since he likes to watch it, he should watch it.He led [-] Hebei soldiers across Hanoi, crossed the river and entered Chenliu County, then walked west and approached Luoyang.

To enter Luoyang, Hulao Pass is a must pass.

Yuan Shao felt a lot of emotion when he revisited his old place.

He looked at the top of the city, this majestic pass known as "the first pass in the world" is still dangerous, but the blood-stained city wall left here in the past has long been washed away by the rain.

At the top of the city, a tall man in armor supported the wall and looked down, his gaze was dignified and deep.

The guard of Hulao Gate, Xu Rong!

"Xu Rong, I haven't seen you in a year, are you okay?" Yuan Shao said hello in the city. Although Xu Rong led his army to defeat Dong Meng's army in the fierce battle at Hulao Pass, this did not prevent Yuan Shao from having a good impression of Xu Rong.

This person has the talent of a general.

"Thanks to General Yuan's concern, Xu Rong is fine." On the top of the wall, Xu Rong answered neither humble nor overbearing.

Yuan Shao had the idea of ​​surrendering Xu Rong in his heart. He took a few steps before patting his horse, stood under the city gate, and persuaded him loudly: "Xu Rong, as long as you are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, open the city and let me enter the gate. I will take the past as Jizhou Mu In the name of you, I assure you that the court will let the past go.”

Xu Rong in the city was unmoved, shaved his eyebrows, and asked loudly: "Yuan Jizhou, did you forget that your arm hurt that day?"

In the decisive battle at Hulao Pass last year, Yuan Shao led his army to charge. During the siege, Xu Rong cut his right arm and almost died in Xu Rong's hands.

At this time, Yuan Shao had the demeanor of a hero after all, and the two armies fought for their own masters. He didn't blame Xu Rong for almost killing him.

"Dong Zhuo is a jackal, cruel and heartless, why are you still stubborn!"

"Dong Zhuo is a jackal, and you, Yuan Benchu, are probably not a good person, are you?" Xu Rong sneered, "At the beginning Han Wenjie kindly gave you the position of Jizhou Mu, but you instigated someone to kill his son and force Han Fu away Not counting. He fled to Chenliu, but you still refused to let him go and forced him to die."

Yuan Shao was speechless for a moment, with a wry smile on his face, he was completely responsible for these two things.

When he first came to Jizhou Mu, Yuan Shao appointed Zhu Han, a native of Hanoi, as the capital officer.

Zhu Han was once belittled by Han Fu, and after being promoted by Yuan Shao, he wanted to cater to Yuan Shao's wishes, so he sent troops to surround Han Fu's house without authorization, and drew his sword to enter the house.Han Fu fled upstairs, and Zhu Han captured Han Fu's eldest son, broke his feet, and killed him in public.

After Yuan Shao heard about this, he was startled and angry. Before Jizhou Mu could sit still, Zhu Han made such a big commotion for him.

Yuan Shao scolded Zhu Han for being a fool, and immediately sent someone to arrest Zhu Han and execute him to appease public anger.

For the next period of time, Han Fu was in a state of panic, and everyone looked like a killer who wanted his life.

In the end, he couldn't take it anymore and asked Yuan Shao to let him go. Yuan Shao agreed, so Han Fu went to Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu County.

Later, Yuan Shao sent an envoy to see Zhang Miao. When discussing secrets, the envoy whispered in Zhang Miao's ear.Han Fu was present at the time, thinking that he was plotting against himself.After a while, he got up to go to the toilet, and because he couldn't bear the psychological pressure, he committed suicide with a book knife for scraping bamboo slips.

No matter how Yuan Shao denies and explains these two things, no one is willing to believe them from the beginning to the end, and they are deeply criticized by the world.

Yuan Shao didn't bother to explain slowly, after the Bucks Central Plains in the future, people will naturally gradually forget about this matter, and praise him as the pillar of the humerus of the great man.

Unable to convince Xu Rong, Yuan Shao also lost his patience, and left a sentence: "I will give you three days to think, and if you don't open the city and surrender after three days, don't blame me for not being sympathetic."

After speaking, he turned his horse back and led the army to leave.

Back at the camp, Yan Liang, who was Yuan Shao's general, had his eyes wide open, and asked unwillingly: "My lord, why didn't you let me lead the army to attack the city just now? Look how arrogant that Xu is. ! How can I put you in the slightest!"

"General Yan, don't worry. I have heard from my lord that Xu Rong is a rare general. If we attack rashly, our army may not be able to get it cheap." Ju Shou, who was the military adviser of this trip, warned Yan Liang. And tell him about the geographical situation of Hulao Pass, outsmarting is the best policy.

"Ju Zong is right. Hulao Pass is difficult to attack, and now Xu Rong is guarding it, like a tiger in a mountain forest. Instead of attacking by force, it is better to find a way to outsmart it."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shao looked at Yan Liang with high hopes and said, "As my arm, you will be alone in the future sooner or later. I hope you will not only be reckless in the future, but use your brain more in everything."

Yan Liang, a rough and reckless martial artist, is not like a high-ranking person who doesn't show his emotions and anger. When he heard that the lord thinks highly of him, his face was already full of excitement, and he clasped his fists and replied loudly: "The general will definitely study hard. Bear the high hopes of the lord."

Yan Liang's reaction was expected by Yuan Shao, he gave a slight "hmm", nodded and said, "During this trip, if you have time, you can ask Ju for advice and study."

Yan Liang agreed readily, and then he thought of a problem, and he couldn't hide his stuff, so he asked again: "If Xu Rong still refuses to surrender after three days, what should we do?"

Yuan Shao and Jushou looked at each other, and Jushou said for Yan Liang: "Then there is General Laoyan, who has gone to fight day after day."

Yan Liang responded with a full mouth, speaking with great confidence:
"Ju Zong, I may not be as good as you when it comes to brains, but in this one-on-one fight, apart from Wen Chou, only Lu Bu can slightly overwhelm me."

Now, everyone in the world knows that Lu Bu has left Dong Zhuo's camp.

Among Dong Zhuo's generals, Yan Liang has no fear of anyone.

Seeing that Yan Liang is full of confidence, Ju Shou is also very happy in his heart.

Through the open tent door, Yuan Shao looked towards the southeast, and murmured in a low voice: "Meng De, you should have arrived at the Yuanyuan Pass. Next, it's up to you."

As one of the eight passes in Luoyang, Shenyuanguan is the gateway to the southeast of Luoyang. It is located on the Shenyuan Mountain at the junction of Yanshi, Dengfeng, and Gongyi. It is the shortcut from Luoyang to Xu and Chen.The pass is at Eling Ban, between Taishi Mountain and Shaoshi Mountain. The road is dangerous and narrow, with twelve bends and circles.

On this day, a well-equipped team rushed to the foot of the mountain.

In the dense forest, a vigorous figure rushed out, walked up to the leading general, and reported in a low voice: "Meng De, all the sentries at the foot of the mountain have been eliminated, and none of them slipped through the net."

Cao Cao, who was wearing light armor, nodded, and gave Xiahou Dun an approving look with small eyes.

Getting off his horse, Cao Cao glanced at the mountain, then turned his head and shouted at the soldiers behind him: "You guys, follow Cao—climb the mountain and break through the pass!"
