Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 365 Yan Hou (Thirteen)
Of course Cao Chun did not expect that Wang Jue would raid Luoyang, because Wang Jue did not take the usual route and did not enter Luoyang through any pass, nor did he enter the Luoyang Basin from the Central Plains.

Instead, they found another way, deliberately detoured to the territory of the Qianghu people, and then divided the 4000 troops into eight groups, each with only 500 people, which was relatively unobtrusive.

Cross the Sanmenxia area from the territory of the Qiang and Hu people.

"Smuggle through the three gates and go straight to Luoyang!"

During this period, more than 800 people died due to reasons such as getting lost, running out of food, falling off cliffs, etc., and only a little over [-] of the [-] tiger and leopard riders remained.

After Luoyang briefly replenished the food and grass, Wang Jue didn't even have time to rest, and directly led the tiger and leopard knights to leave Luoyang in a hurry, wearing Cao Jun's clothes captured from the Luoyang defenders, and taking Cao Chun's token to face Dagu. Guan rushed away.

He was still two hundred miles away from Dagu Pass, and Cao Cao was only forty miles away from Dagu Pass. In any case, he had to seize Dagu Pass directly before Cao Cao, and prevent Cao Jun from entering the Luoyang Basin.

Wang Jue asked Gongsun Du and Xu Rong to take the wounded [-] Tiger and Leopard Riders to stay in Luoyang to recuperate, and then he took the other generals and the remaining [-] Tiger and Leopard Riders to attack Dagu Pass.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavaliers climbed mountains and ridges for several days in a row, and they had just finished fighting Cao Chun, and now they were rushing towards Dagu Pass non-stop. They hadn't had a good rest for many days, and they all had dark circles under their eyes.

In order to refresh the soldiers, Wang Jue asked each of them to crush ginger, put it on their noses, and chew some in their mouths.

Each tiger and leopard rider is equipped with five war horses at the same time.

The strongest horse is used for fighting and charging. It cannot be ridden or transported by camel. It is necessary to preserve the best physical strength and achieve the best record.

The two second-class war horses are specially used in turn for the soldiers to march on the road.

The last first-class war horses are used to transport supplies on camels.

All food is salted and compressed to reduce shipping volume and extend shelf life.

The compression method is also very simple, that is, let many girls step on it with their feet in the water tank, just like stepping on pickles.

In special cases, the tiger and leopard riders would also slaughter horses to supplement food, drink the blood of war horses to replenish water, or drink urine from each other.

All for victory!
The cost of raising a tiger and leopard cavalry is equivalent to a hundred Jiangdong soldiers, which is a high-cost, high-mobility, and high-combat force.

What Wang Jue wants is the elite, not the mob. If there is a mob, even if there are 100 million, they are just mermaids.

"Sleep on horseback in turn, and march while sleeping!" Wang Jue ordered a group of tiger and leopard knights.

Even if you sleep, you have to march. Only in this way can you reach Dagu Pass before Cao Cao.

Lu Bu tied Lu Lingqi to the horse's back, and then he held the reins of his horse with one hand, and held the reins of Lu Lingqi's horse with the other hand.

Lu Lingqi gave a hiccup, then lay her head on the horse's back and closed her eyes to sleep. She hadn't slept for four days in a row, and she was about to run out of time.

A young girl in her twenties has been engaged in high-intensity combat every day since joining Wang Jue, constantly annihilating the enemy in motion.

Outsiders can only see the horror and honor of them winning more with less, but they cannot see the sacrifices they made to win more with less.

During the two years of plundering the Central Plains, Wang Jue forced them to learn to sleep well while marching fast on horseback.

This is really too difficult. Many tiger and leopard knights are exhausted in such high-intensity battles.

They were not killed in battle, they were exhausted!

Fight on horseback, march on horseback, sleep on horseback, and often sleep while marching while fighting.

After they robbed one place, they quickly went to the next place to continue plundering without stopping, so when Cao Cao arrived with the main force, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had already appeared in another place to plunder.

If there are fewer troops sent, Wang Jue doesn't even mind killing some of Cao's troops with more attacks, but if there are too many troops sent, Wang Jue ignores them.

If you have too many troops, if Wang Jue doesn't fight with you, you will have to consume more food in vain. If you have less troops, you will be wiped out by Wang Jue's concentrated superior forces, which is even worse!

Everyone took turns to sleep, and when it was about the same time, Lu Lingqi, who was jolting on the horse, was forcibly woken up. Now it was her turn to hold the reins and let her father, Lu Bu, sleep.

The next morning

Wang Jue finally arrived at Dagu Pass with the exhausted and hungry tiger and leopard cavalry. At this moment, he was wearing the clothes of General Cao Jun, and Zhang Liao beside him was holding the flag of Cao Jun.

Wang Jue was too fast, marching two hundred miles a day and one night, so Luoyang's Cao Jun scouts had not had time to pass the news of Luoyang's fall to Dagu Pass. up.

"We have received the latest news that a group of Yuan Jun is pretending to be Ming Gong's army. They are coming from Yingchuan. Captain Sili (Cao Chun) asked us to come to support you!" Wang Jue said sincerely talk.

Now there are two Sili captains, one is Gao Gan and the other is Cao Chun, appointed by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao respectively.

However, although Gao Gan received the imperial edict, he was unable to take office. Although Cao Chun could take office, he did not have an imperial edict.

Wang Jue also took out various certificates of Sili Xiaowei Cao Chun, and handed these certificates to the guard of Dagu Pass.

Soon after, Dagu Pass was opened, and Wang Jue led the crowd into Dagu Pass with their heads held high.

"The more this is the case, the more we can't be nervous. We must be better than Cao Jun, so that they can't tell the truth from the fake." Wang Jue often uses this tactic, so he often educates Zhang Liao and others in this way.

"Where are the food and beauties? Why don't you come here to receive us? Do you know who we are? We are sent by Captain Cao! You bastards!" In order to pretend to be more like him, Wang Jue really regarded himself as a high-ranking Cao army, As soon as he comes up, General Otani Gate will bring up the gourmet beauties.

If it is an ordinary camouflage army, it must be very nervous in the face of this situation, and it is easy to reveal its secrets without daring to breathe.

But Wang Jue is not an ordinary person. He deliberately pretended to be very arrogant and contemptuous of others, as if he was really a lecherous trash general who wanted delicious food and beautiful women as soon as he came in. This made the guard at Daguguan feel relieved: "It seems that It should be Luo Yang's boss, that's right, otherwise I wouldn't want a beautiful woman, and dare to take it for granted, so confident!"

After a while, the gatekeeper Dagu, who let go of his guard, began to greet the beauty to welcome Wang Jue, and held a banquet for him.

As the party begins...

Clang!
Wang Jue stood up suddenly, drew his sword and pointed at the guard at Dagu Gate and scolded: "Bold! How dare you collude with Wang Jue's son and intend to murder Ming Gong!"

Wang Jue specially put on makeup, unless he looked closely for a long time, otherwise he would not be able to see his original appearance for a while.

Marching and fighting is not just about learning the art of war, makeup skills are also very important!
Then...

Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Lu Bu, Lu Lingqi, Zhang Liao, Tai Shici, Gao Shun and others also drew their swords one after another. They deliberately pretended to be very angry, as if they were really Cao Cao's loyal ministers, and they really hated the traitor who betrayed Cao Cao in front of them.

A Hongmen Banquet is unfolding, but the host who took the initiative to organize this Hongmen Banquet does not know that it is a Hongmen Banquet.
