Lu's relatives

Chapter 650 Dark Gap, Which of the Three States Belongs ([-])

Shen Yi obviously kept his guard up, and he was defending against Cao Cao, who had a really bad reputation.He emphasized that the people in the city made an appointment with him, and only when the time and number of times were right would he open the door and offer a pass, which was regarded as adding a talisman to himself.In addition to making Cao Cao feel annoyed, and hindering the weight of Huguan, there is no other way for a while.We can only leave it to him for the time being, and hope that what this villain said is true, that he can take Huguan without bloodshed, and that he can see the old Hulao hero again for a while.

Shen Yi didn't notice the cold killing intent hidden in Cao Cao's long and narrow eyes, and thought he had grasped Cao Cao's fate.The action just now, especially the humiliation Cao Chun's ruthlessness caused him to suffer, has been firmly remembered by Shen Yi in his heart.Now that she was treated like this, Shen Yi's original plan to exchange this pot pass for a higher level of advancement faded away, and it was better to let out this tone.If Cao Cao knew that he was invincible, this trick of hitting a sweet date with a stick did not have the expected effect on Shen Yi, would he change his style for this villain.

It's July now, the daytime is dry and windless, and it's hot like a fire, and it's not until nighttime that it feels a little cool.On the Huguan Pass, the torch clipped to the lookout hole in the female wall illuminates twenty steps outside the pass like daylight.Huguan was originally built in a notch in the middle of the mountain, with sharp-edged walls on both sides. The mountain pass is narrow.

The only disadvantage is that the Guanqian mountain road leading to Bingzhou in the west is steep and narrow with a huge slope.It's okay during the day, but at night, due to the lack of sight, if you are more than thirty steps away, your sight will be greatly affected.At this moment, Cao Cao ordered Cao Chun to lead a thousand vanguards to ambush here.

The total number of generals in Huguan, including the soldiers left by the original Yuan family and those brought by Guan Yu, has exceeded [-]. This is enough to show that Yuan Shangtianfeng and Liu Bei, who came later, attach great importance to the land of Huguan. .It's just that Huguan cannot accommodate so many people, so at least half of the soldiers have to set up camp on the slope behind the pass.In this way, although it is enough to ensure that the guards at Huguan have sufficient personnel, if Huguan falls, it is very likely that they will hurt themselves because the defeated soldiers retreated.It's just that both Yuan Shang, Tianfeng and Liu Bei seem to have ignored this point on purpose.After all, Huguan is the only gateway connecting Jizhou and Bingzhou. To the east of Huguan is the extremely flat Jizhou Great Plains, which is not dangerous at all.Even if there are many soldiers guarding it, it is useless to resist the enemy's attack from the condescending all-mountain road.It would be better to concentrate all the advantages, Laihu Pass is steep and strong, and it is more reliable to defend against the enemy outside the pass.

The time agreed upon by Shen Yi and his companion was at the fourth watch.The reason for choosing this time period is because often this time is the time when people are deeply asleep and hard to wake up.Guan Yu has been fighting with Liu Bei for a long time, especially now that he has been entrusted with important tasks. It is impossible not to be 12 careful about the night defense of Huguan. Only at this time can there be a slight slack.

It has to be said that Shen Yi was from the Shen family of a giant family in Hebei after all. Although he was only used as the guard of the Hu Pass, he still had some experience in guarding the pass.Cao Cao's army's scouting horses and scouting of Huguan every half an hour also proved this point.Since the time of You, the number of soldiers guarding Huguan has not decreased, but has increased a lot. This must be Guan Yu's strict defense strategy.It wasn't until just after the third watch, when the summer sky had already turned slightly pale, that the hostility gradually dissipated a lot, and only after the pot was closed did some calm return.

"It's about time, isn't it?!" Cao Chun took the selected [-] pioneers and lay down in a low-lying place all night. Needless to say, mosquito bites, even though it is summer, the night wind and dew can be tormented. They couldn't move lightly, all the soldiers were wet and itchy, if it weren't for the strict military law, they might have gotten up and moved a long time ago to soothe and soothe them.Cao Chun looked at the sky, thought about it for a moment, and said to the deliberation of the fellow who came to suffer.

"It's almost there! It's almost there!" Shen Yi had long been unable to bear this inhuman suffering.Originally a pampered judge, even when he was the guard of Huguan, he was served comfortably by his subordinates. Why would he lie here in the middle of the night to blow the wind and feed mosquitoes?Coupled with the strong smell of sweat from thousands of people around him who have been steamed by the geothermal heat accumulated for a day, the deliberation is like falling into hell. If Cao Chun hadn't sent several soldiers to "protect" him at all times, this business trial Some don't want to do it.At this moment Cao Chun asked, there is no reason not to respond immediately.

"Light it up! Third from left, first from right, and twice from top to bottom!" Cao Chun gritted his teeth and took the contact code he had just obtained from the trial office, and in a low voice ordered the soldiers to light the torches that had been tightly wrapped in sheepskin, and pour them into the kettle. A secret signal was issued in Guancheng.

Sure enough, less than a stick of incense, a torch was lit when the pot was closed.It's just that this torch is pressed extremely low, and the response time is extremely short. If you don't observe carefully, it's really hard to notice it in the early morning when the sky is already pale.

"That's right, that's the code!" Seeing that the pot was closed and the fire was on, Shen Yi immediately became excited, and Cao Chun immediately pressed it down.It's just that this time the trial ceremony was not annoying. After breaking the barrier, Cao Cao and Xun You promised a high salary and a bright future, and the crime of this night was not in vain.As for Cao Chun, what is it compared with the wealth that is almost at your fingertips?What's more, it still needs this stupid big man to fight with his life, so why bother with the person who helped him to rise to the top?Isn't there time in the future!Which is more important, the judge can naturally weigh it.

"There was movement at the Huguan gate. It seems that the people inside have to be accepted. Quick, brothers, come with me!" Seeing the Huguan gate not far away, not long after the fire on the Huguan extinguished, There was already a faint creaking and dull sound of the rotating shaft, which seemed a little harsh in the silence of the morning.Cao Chun didn't hesitate any longer, and even though he had been waiting all night, the soldiers of our army, who had long been impatient, rushed towards the gate of Huguan with their waists bent.

"Gahah..." It seems that the people left behind by the Juyi Office who cooperated in selling Huguan were very capable. The opening of the gate of Huguan did not attract the attention of the guards inside the pass.Reflecting the morning glow in the sky, when Cao Chun and more than a thousand people rushed to the Huguan gate, the Huguan gate was already wide open.

"Huh!? Not good! Go back!" Seeing that the pot was closed and the door was wide open, Cao Chun, who has always been serious and unsmiling, couldn't help but look forward to it.As long as Huguan is successful, Jizhou behind will be flat. Even if the combined forces of Yuan Shao and Liu Bei are more powerful, with the elite soldiers of Cao's army, they will be within easy reach.At that time, whether it is to send the elite of Bingzhou to go north to Youzhou to pacify Hebei, or to drive the people of Jizhou to attack Lu Bu eastward, they will have the absolute initiative.Cao Chun is also honored to see Cao Cao successfully unify Hebei.It's just that the look of excitement and anticipation didn't last long on Cao Chun's face. At the moment when the city gate opened, Cao Chun suddenly discovered that the scene of Huguan closing didn't seem to be the empty doorway leading directly to Huguan as expected. In the hinterland, on the contrary, there are rows of elite soldiers in armor and holding sharp knives ready to go. The leader is riding a tall Youzhou horse, with a two-foot-long sword in his hand, as if the next one will be issued at any time. The order to attack, and a pair of Danfeng eyes that were slightly squinted suddenly opened angrily, with killing intent.That is to say, because Cao Chun was worried about disturbing the Huguan guards just now, in order to speed up the closing, he sent soldiers to "help", so he didn't take the lead in being exposed to the swords of the incoming people, but even so, Cao Chun was also shocked into a cold sweat , the warning voice became a little hoarse because of anxiety.

"Thieves and rats, how dare you learn how to steal from others? It's not easy to lie on your stomach this night!?" Hearing Cao Ren's shout, Guan Yu's face flashed with contempt, and he swung his knife away with the intention of rushing over to cut him off. Cao Bing, a horse-legged soldier, said with a sneer.

"Guan Yu!" Cao Chun's eyes were so wide open that he saw that his robe was thrown flying by the small blade of Guan Yu's famous weapon Qinglong Yanyue Dao, and was split in half by Guan Yu in mid-air. If anger could kill people, Guan Yu would have been broken into tens of millions of pieces. .

"How could this happen! How could this be happening!?" The person in the field who was least overwhelmed by Guan Yu's aura was probably the dumbfounded Shen Yi.Doesn't the appearance of Guan Yu mean that the confidantes he stayed in Huguan have either been captured or betrayed himself, at least they already know what he is planning, so Guan Yu will be there early. Waiting here, waiting for work with ease.Now, Guan Yu is definitely going to kill himself. The high salary promised by Xun You and Cao Cao before has become nothing, maybe because of the loss of a thousand elites carefully selected by Cao Chun. I hate.Even if you don't talk about these far away, Cao Chun, who is close at hand, was fooled like this, and the robes around him died one after another. Whether he can resist Guan Yu and survive until Cao Cao's army comes to help is a problem!That is to say, all Cao Chun's attention is now on Guan Yu. If he regains his senses for a while and sees himself, wouldn't he be able to escape death?
Auditor is completely numb now!If I had known this, I shouldn't have listened to the words of those old guys in the family, and despised Lu Bu, who could stand against Cao Cao, but was only from a low background.If he can rely on the relationship of the trial and appointment, and enter the influence of Lv Bu, even if he can't get high officials and rich salary, at least it will be better than losing his life right now, right?
"Cowardless bandits! Let someone kill them!" Shen Yi was still worried about gains and losses, but Guan Yu didn't have so much nonsense on that side. Can soldiers come and go so calmly?Immediately shouting, the Youzhou soldiers who had been ambushing in Huguanmenguan rushed out, screaming and killing Cao Chun's troops who had already lost their positions!
