The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1173 Only coexist, not die together

"Big Sima, congratulations! After taking down Hulao Pass, Luoyang is just around the corner." Chen Qian congratulated Lu Kang with a smile.

A trace of rosy color appeared on Lu Kang's pale face, he hehe smiled and said, "Congratulations, congratulations."

After taking down Hulao Pass, Lu Kang was in a good mood, as long as he passed this hurdle, the rest would be flat.From Hulao Pass to the west until Luoyang, there is no danger, and Wu Jun can drive straight in and take Luoyang directly.

It’s no wonder that Lu Kang was excited and excited, and captured Luoyang. That was the dream of generations of people in the Wu Kingdom but they couldn’t even dream of it. But whether it was when Zhou Yu was the governor, or when Lu Xun was the governor, this dream was out of reach. Yes, not to mention defeating the city of Luoyang, even crossing the Huai River and the Han River, it is enough to set foot on the land of the Central Plains. For them, it is a luxury.

At that time, Luoyang was, after all, the capital of Cao Wei. To capture Luoyang would be tantamount to destroying Cao Wei. With Wu's military and national strength, it was just a matter of thinking. Laugh out loud.

But now, the dream is about to come true. Although Cao Wei, who used Luoyang as the capital at the beginning, no longer exists. The weakest state of Shu.Even if the pheasant in the Shu Kingdom has become a phoenix, it still cannot escape the essence of the pheasant. Maybe Lu Kang will be afraid of Cao Wei and Sima Jin, but he has never been afraid of the Shu Kingdom psychologically. After passing Hulao Pass, Lu Kang had even more reason to believe that taking Luoyang was just a matter of bombing the command room.

Chen Qian, Shi Bao and Ma Long were also overjoyed at taking down Hulaoguan. Whether or not to avenge the Sima family has become less important. Restoring the state of Jin is not what they have in mind now. In their minds, there is no What is more important than the one-acre three-point land they control now, counterattacking Luoyang is to consolidate their territory, as long as Luoyang can be taken, then their land in the five states of Kanto will be as stable as a mountain.

Chen Qian and Shi Bao are both old, and they no longer have the ambition to enter the world. Although Ma Long is young, he is more pragmatic. It is the most realistic thing to be a vassal on one side. He will become the target of public criticism, and he will not know how to die.

The goal of the Three Kings of Kanto could not be simpler. As long as no one comes to fight for their territory, they will live in peace. However, Ji Han's strong destruction of Jin and occupation of Luoyang will undoubtedly make them feel uncomfortable.

If Ji Han's army advances eastward, Chen Qian and the others will naturally feel powerless to resist, but if they really want to give up the territory and power they have already obtained, they are 1 unwilling.Lu Kang's plan to counterattack Luoyang gave Chen Qian and the others a glimmer of light. The Shu people fell apart as soon as they entered Luoyang. Seizing this opportunity to counterattack and reckon, maybe there is hope to drive the Shu people out of Luoyang and across the Yellow River. In this way, the three kings of the Kanto His position is as stable as Mount Tai.

They attacked Hulao Pass for more than ten days in a row. Lu Kang was extremely anxious, and Chen Qian and the others were also very anxious. If they can't even attack Hulao Pass, then their actions this time will definitely become the laughing stock of the world. The situation in the future will be even more difficult.

Therefore, when attacking Hulao Pass, both the Wu Army and the Kwantung Army worked equally hard, and they did not have their own minds because they belonged to different military departments. To preserve their strength, it would be of no benefit to anyone if they could not take Hulao Pass.

Lu Kang and Chen Qian entered the customs together.

At this moment, Hulao Pass was in chaos, and most of the houses in the pass were burned down. Obviously, when Ji Han's army was withdrawing, they set fire to the city, trying to use the fire to stop Wu Jun's attack.After the fire, there were scorched earth everywhere, dilapidated walls, and a mess.

Zhu Wan, who had entered the city earlier, was commanding the soldiers under his command to put out the remaining fire sources, sweeping and clearing the battlefield.Because the Han army withdrew very quickly, the number of Han soldiers killed in the city was not too many. On the contrary, the Wu army was eager to pursue them. Many people were shot and blocked by the Han army and died on the spot. Six or seven belonged to Wu Jun.

Zhu Wan was full of complaints and said: "These Shu dogs are too treacherous. They were steadfastly guarding the Hulao before, but now they just broke through the city. They run faster than rabbits, and they can't even catch up with them!"

As soon as Lu Kang entered the city, he heard Zhu Wan's complaints, and he couldn't help smiling slightly: "Of course the Shu people will defend the city before it is lost. Once the city is broken, they know they are invincible, so they will run away quickly. Can you cut off the neck?"

Zhu Wan blushed, and said embarrassingly: "I thought that the people of Shu are very upright, and they are just people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. I thought they would live and die with Hulaoguan, so it's just that."

Lu Kang said: "Huang Chong is also a wise man. He knew he was invincible, so naturally he didn't make unnecessary struggles. It is really wise to leave the troops to defend Luoyang."

The Wu army did not wipe out many enemies in this campaign. Overall, the casualties of the Wu army were five or six times that of the Han army. However, Lu Kang obviously didn't care. It doesn't matter if you lose tens of thousands of dollars. The most important thing is to win Hulao Pass, which is more important than anything else.

At Hulao Pass, before the Wu army had time to take any rest, Lu Kang had already issued a new order. Apart from leaving a part of the troops to guard Hulao Pass, all 20 troops marched westward, pointing directly at Luoyang.

Hulao Pass is just to open the door of Luoyang. If Luoyang cannot be captured in the end, it will be meaningless to conquer Hulao Pass. The slack, ready to strike while the iron is hot, to attack Luoyang.

Hulao Pass is only one hundred and eighty miles away from Luoyang. If the horses run fast, half a day is enough to make a round trip. Even if the infantry marches slowly, it is enough for the Wu army to arrive calmly within two days. Arrived at the city of Luoyang.

The most important thing is that from Hulao Pass to Luoyang, there is no danger to defend against. This is also an important point why Lu Kang chose to attack Hulao Pass at the beginning, that is, from Hulao Pass to Luoyang, as long as Hulao Pass is taken, Luoyang is almost at your fingertips. If you attack Luoyang from the southern line, you will have to pass many dangerous passes. That is the real headache. Even if you can win one or two passes, you may not be able to win all the passes. Luoyang is within sight. Impossible.

Wu Jun, who received the order, dispatched quickly, looked at Luoyang City and killed them.
