I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 673: So smooth and spicy!

"My Lord, aren't you going to fight against Dong?"

Wang Ling asked:
"It's been almost two months. What's the final result?"

"Oh, you're talking about this." Su Yao raised his head and glanced at the bright world, but there was no further news.

Wang Ling became anxious when he saw it.

I'm anxious, really anxious.

It was like this before.

After Su Yao came back, whenever Wang Ling asked him about the matter of debating Dong, Su Yao would either avoid the subject or simply fall asleep or be in a daze and ignore him completely.

Wang Ling thought from the beginning that maybe Su Yao was in a hurry to save people, so let's defeat Sun Jian first.

As a result, Sun Jian has been defeated now, and the battle of Nanyang is about to enter its final stage. How come there is still a tail end to the campaign against Dong Zhuo?
Just now, this prince seemed to say that the emperor was abducted by the thief Dong, and it is hard to tell when he will return???
What is going on?

"Zilong!!!"

Seeing that Su Yao ignored him, Wang Ling pressed Zhao Yun's shoulders:

"You went with the Lord, what happened in Guanzhong? Tell us quickly!"

"." Zhao Yun glanced at Su Yao and said nothing.

"Zilong! What happened during your expedition to the west to defeat Dong Zhuo? Tell me now!"

Seeing that Su Yao didn't explain and Zhao Yun remained silent like a wooden man, Wang Ling immediately had bad thoughts in his mind.

No way, no way, no way.

"Could it be that the Western Expedition did not go smoothly, and you suffered a defeat, allowing that Dong villain to gain a firm foothold?"

As soon as Wang Ling finished speaking, there was a sound of inhalation from everyone present.

Everyone's eyes turned to Su Yao and Zhao Yun.

Especially Yuan Tan.

His father went with him, but now only Su Yao came back.

Did something unexpected happen?

Immediately, everyone's heart was like fifteen buckets of water, up and down.

"Huh? What are you thinking about?"

Su Yao waved his hand:

"How can a mere thief like Dong have such ability?"

After saying that, Su Yao left Zhao Yun to explain, and then he jumped and disappeared.

Seeing Su Yao just wave his hand and leave like that again, everyone was experienced and was not surprised.

They hurriedly surrounded Zhao Yun and asked him about the details.

Zhao Yun smiled bitterly when asked and waved his hands to calm everyone down.

"Your Excellency's trip to the west to fight against Dong was not unsuccessful, but rather too smooth."

"Too smooth?"

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Zhao Yun explained the situation slowly.

On that day, Su Yao broke through Hangu Pass in one day and his troops advanced at a rapid speed.

They continued to rush to the next level without stopping, hoping to get through to Dong Zhuo as soon as possible.

The reason was very simple. After taking Hangu Pass, Su Yao and others learned from the surrendered general Yang Kang that although Dong Zhuo fled in a hurry, he had made arrangements in advance.

Not only did he pay special attention to Hangu Pass, he also left his nephew to guard it, and he also had heavy troops stationed in Tongguan!
Moreover, in Guanzhong and Xiliang, the thief Dong still has tens of thousands of troops available for mobilization.

If we fail to quickly overthrow Dong Zhuo and allow him to gain a foothold in Chang'an, it will be very difficult to defeat him in the future.

After all, Su Yao had just occupied Luoyang, and Nanyang was threatened by Yuan Shu and Sun Jian. Su Yao did not want to fight a protracted war and increase the risk.

So, after taking Hangu Pass, Su Yao simply rested for a night.

Next, he handed over the defense of Hangu Pass and the reorganization of the surrendered soldiers to the commander of the pass, Yang Kang. After promising him future promotion and rewards, he led his nearly 5,000 cavalrymen to attack Hongnong.

That’s right, we didn’t go directly to Tongguan, but to Hongnong.

Hongnong County was established during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, and its seat was in Lingbao, Sanmenxia City, Henan Province.

Because it is located on the south bank of the Yellow River between Chang'an and Luoyang, connecting Tongguan and Hangu Pass, it has always been an important military and political location throughout the ages.

Therefore, if Su Yao wanted to enter Tongguan, he had to conquer Hongnong first.

Dong Zhuo would naturally not be unprepared for such an important location.

Here, he released General Duan Wei, one of the Five Tigers of Xiliang, to lead 10,000 troops to station here. Su Yao was powerful, and Dong Zhuo did not dare to be careless. When he left Hongnong a few days ago, he specifically told Duan Wei to be careful about the direction of Hangu Pass, and to rescue immediately if there was any military intelligence, and to ensure that Hangu Pass would not be lost.

But that's it.
"what?!"

"Hangu Pass was lost after not even one day of defense???"

"Is the traitor Su Yao already on his way to kill us?"

Hongnong County Governor's Office.

When Duan Wei, who was drinking with the local governor Hu, received the news, he was shocked and stunned.

He opened his eyes wide and stared at the person who brought the news for a long time, then turned his gaze to the equally stunned county magistrate, trying to find a hint of a joke in their expressions, he simply couldn't believe it.

After all, Hangu Pass was the most important pass in the Han Dynasty and had a garrison of 2,000 soldiers. Dong Zhuo also sent his nephew Dong Huang to lead 3,000 soldiers to assist in the defense.

How could this be lost in one day?

It’s fake, it must be fake!

However, let alone a joke, the scout's eyes were filled with deep fear. He had a sad face and wailed:
"General, everything I said is true!"

When the scout saw that Duan Wei and the county magistrate did not believe him, he became so anxious that he broke out in a sweat. He immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and made a tearful defense.

He vividly described how Su Yao lurked and attacked at Hangu Pass, how he displayed his divine power, and how he killed people alone under the city gate until heads rolled and blood flowed like a river.

"Too strong, too scary, he's simply not a human!"

"That guy is extremely strong, with a pair of golden hammers in his hands. He killed many of our soldiers!"

"No matter what kind of warrior or how skilled he is, he can kill them all with one hammer."

"If you get touched, you'll be dead!"

hiss--

Duan Wei and the county magistrate took a deep breath after hearing the scout's crying.

They had heard that the Champion Hou was powerful, but was he really this powerful?

In Duan Wei's imagination, no matter how brave Su Yao was, he was just a brave man. His victory must be the product of the combined effect of time, place and people.

However, after listening to the scout's description, Su Yao was just like the legendary devil who broke through Hangu Pass by himself. How could he not feel shocked and terrified?

Duan Wei was like this, and so was the county magistrate.

After hearing the scout's report, County Magistrate Hu's face instantly turned as pale as paper.

Dong Zhuo had just left not long ago, so they were left behind to coordinate the attack and defend Hongnong as backup for Tongguan.

Now that Tongguan was lost in an instant, they were facing a direct threat. County Magistrate Hu could no longer sit still. He put down the wine cup in his hand with trembling hands and asked Duan Wei for advice:
"General, the situation is critical now. What should we do?"

Duan Wei's eyes flickered, and after a moment's silence, he pretended to be calm and said:

"Don't panic, Governor. Although Hangu Pass has been lost, your Hongnong City is still well-defended, with well-trained soldiers and sufficient food supplies."

"As long as we strengthen our guard and don't give Su Yao the chance to sneak in, and defend the city firmly, it won't be easy for him to take it quickly."

"This, this traitor Su Yao is coming with such force, how can I fight him alone?" The county magistrate waved his hands repeatedly.

"Don't panic, my lord."

Duan Wei emphasized again:

"The enemy has only 5,000 cavalry, while Lord Dong's army still has tens of thousands."

"I will send scouts to the rear to ask for help and inform Lord Dong of the sudden change in Hangu Pass."

"From now on, the county governor just stays indoors, and I will set up camp on the western hilltop, forming a pincer attack with you. We can hold out for ten days or half a month, and when Lord Dong's reinforcements arrive, we will be fine, right?"

The county magistrate felt relieved when he heard this and nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, yes, yes, what the Zhonglang General said is right. We must work together to hold on to Hongnong and wait for reinforcements to arrive."

After the two men had made their plan, they both stood up, greeted each other, and hurriedly set off.

Magistrate Hu performed his duties conscientiously, defended the city tightly, and was willing to fight Su Yao to the death.

However, he did not know that Zhonglang Jiang Duan Wei
"what?!"

"That damn thing, he actually ran away?!"

A few days later, facing Su Yao's army at the gates of the city, County Magistrate Hu was in despair.

"Shameless, shameless!"

Hu Jun Shou was so angry that he started to curse loudly. However, what he was angry about was
You're numb!
If you want to run, at least take me with you!!!
