Lu's relatives

Chapter 651 Dark Gap, Which of the Three States Belongs ([-])

The so-called stealing chickens and losing money must be Cao Cao's current mood.There are a total of one thousand elites, but they are carefully selected from the soldiers from the headquarters and the Bingzhou Army brought here this time.In a war, no matter what, he can be a strong man who can stand up to ten.Guan Yu took the lead in rushing to kill, except for more than a dozen soldiers who escorted Cao Chun to retreat, all of them were wounded, and all of them collapsed in front of the Huguan gate.

The two sides of the Huguan pass are in the shape of pointed characters. If you break through the Huguan pass, you can naturally look down on the next map.But on the contrary, if they are counterattacked by Guan Yu soldiers in Huguan, they will actually occupy enough favorable terrain.Coupled with the fact that these thousand elite vanguards have been blowing in the humid and sunken canyon for most of the night, even the hard-hitting people are almost exhausted. Against the Guan Yu guards who have been prepared for a long time and are waiting for work, the attack and defense will change hands. Next, there is no reason to be invincible if you do calculations with your mind and no mind.

However, what was unexpected was that despite the loss of soldiers and generals this time, Shen Yi, who was supposed to be a "guide", miraculously survived.Cao Chunti slipped the back of the neck, and threw it in front of Cao Cao with red eyes.

"This is what you said was foolproof?!" Cao Cao was also anxious.Although Bingzhou has already been taken into the bag, but Yuan's power has not gone, it is still difficult to use it handy after all. Most of the soldiers this time were drawn from the already stretched defensive forces of the Central Plains. It's only 3 people, and it's not too bad to lose 1000 people first, and the loss is second to none. For Cao Jun, who has [-]% of the recruits, the morale blow is fatal.It’s not that Cao Cao never thought of concealing his army and rushing to kill the vanguard soldiers who came to support Cao Chun, but Guan Yu is also a person who is well versed in the art of war. After getting the benefits, he retreated back to the pass, and Cao Cao's mouth was already bubbling after so much effort.Goodbye to the "culprit" of Shen Yi, Cao Cao was already thinking of tearing up this villain.

"Grandpa Cao, spare your life! Duke Cao, spare your life!" If there is an order from the top, the bottom must follow.Cao Chun, who is a member of Cao Cao's family and a die-hard supporter, saw Cao Cao's eyes and tone were not friendly, and he was the one who took advantage of the seriousness, so he brought Shen Yi back just to clarify the facts. Seeing Cao Cao like this, he immediately understood, and without any scruples, he drew the saber from his waist and was about to chop off Shenyi.Shenyi didn't know how serious the disaster she had caused this time, although she was already sore and weak because of being dragged all the way by Cao Chun, and was frightened by Cao Cao's killing intent, but the desire to survive still prevailed at this time.He didn't see the blade Cao Chun was slashing at, kowtowed his head like pounding garlic, and screamed loudly: "Mr. Cao, the villain still has a trick to win Huguan! Mr. Cao! Give the villain another chance!"

"Huh?!" Cao Cao had already turned his back and let Cao Chun vent his anger on Shen Yi to calm the army. When he suddenly heard Shen Yi's words, he was unmoved and just turned his body slightly. Sideways, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The villain knows a small way, and he can bypass Huguan!" Just as Cao Chun's blade was already touching Shenyi's neck, Shenhan's saber aura made Shenyi collapse on the ground. He exhausted all his strength and yelled out loudly.

"Wait!" If Cao Chun's saber is the urging talisman of the king of hell, then these two simple words of Cao Cao should be the elixir for bringing the dead back to life.Although Cao Chun could only wish to chop up Shenyi, who had softened into a puddle of mud, into meat paste, Cao Chun could clearly distinguish the priority of the matter, and he was about to withdraw the knife immediately, but unexpectedly, the knife was already worn out, and he had no choice but to , I could only forcibly change the posture of the knife, and slashed heavily next to the head of Shenyi who was lying on the ground. The blade, which still smelled of blood in Sen Hanzhong, was just next to Shenyi's ear, making Shenyi cry With a bang, he passed out.

"Trash! Wake him up!" Cao Chun's eyes were full of disgust. Seeing that Cao Cao was waiting for an answer, he turned around and ordered the soldiers around him to take the water bag they carried with them and smash it on Shen Yi's head.

"Uh...uh..." Fortunately, although Shenyi is related to Shenpei, she has served as the guard of the pot for many years, and she is more resistant than ordinary scholars. After being awakened, she can still be half-conscious and half-awake He stood up by himself, but his image was a bit sloppy.

"You said there are other ways to get around the Huguan Pass? Why didn't you say it before?" Shenyi's eyes were still in a daze, but he couldn't help but hear Cao Cao's cold words, and Cao Chun holding a saber in his hand with a murderous look on his face He suddenly felt a chill rushing towards the Tianling Gai from his tail, and suddenly he woke up, and fell to his knees with a bang, but kept grabbing the ground with his head, and hurriedly said: "Yes! The villain is actually I heard by chance that in the village to the east of Huguan, the Orion who lived on this mountain said that there is indeed such a mountain road that can bypass Huguan and go straight to Bingzhou. It’s just that the Orion in Jizhou had furred it, and it was on the side of Tongzhou. It’s okay to wait for dozens of people to use the small path used by the army to barter. The villain is not too sure whether Mr. Cao’s tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers can use that place, so he didn’t say it last time. The villain really wants to Cao Gong and brothers think about it, and hope Cao Gong will investigate clearly!"

"Hmph! You only need to explain the location, and you don't need to talk too much about the rest!" Seeing that Shenyi was really frightened, Cao Cao signaled Cao Chun to put away the saber, and the coldness on his face dissipated a lot. Pulling Shenyi's shoulder jacket, he lifted Shenyi up, and with a slight hook of his mouth, he said, "Don't worry, Mr. Cao has always rewarded meritorious deeds and punished him without any favoritism! As long as your news this time is true, the failure of the Huguan this time will definitely come true." Not only can you ignore it, but the previous promise to you will still be effective! You have to think about it slowly and carefully! I don’t want to have to do it all over again today, you understand!”

"No! No!" Cao Cao's words made the panic-stricken Shenyi seem to grasp at straws, and hastily turned over and knelt down again, took two steps on his knees in a fawning manner, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Cao, you can't go wrong! Its existence was only discovered by the villain by accident, and even the villagers who have lived here for many years may not know about it, and it will definitely not be used by the Guan thief. The villain... the villain dares to guarantee it with the head of the project! Absolutely Nothing can go wrong!"

"Ha! What do you want your head for? Let's keep your head on your shoulders to enjoy the glory and wealth!" Cao Cao's complexion became more and more mellow, the corners of his slightly curved mouth became wider and wider, and his voice became more and more gentle , patted the shoulder of Shenyi who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly: "This time, let Zihe go with you! It's just that he has a bad temper, and his words may offend you, so you have to bear with him Some."

"Little one understands! I understand! I will do my best to die for General Cao!" Shen Yi looked at Cao Chun, who was glaring at him, full of fear. How could he not understand the meaning of Cao Cao's hidden needles?If it succeeds this time, then everything is easy to say.At most, Cao Chun would look for opportunities to beat and insult him on the road, but he would never hurt his life.After all, Cao Cao's goal is Jizhou, or the whole of Hebei. Under such a major premise, he will never let his "first" person who voluntarily surrendered make great contributions because of his personal likes and dislikes. I lost my life!However, another meaning in Cao Cao's words was also expressed very clearly.If there are any more mistakes in the "information" provided this time, I'm sorry, but his identity as the judge will definitely not be a "surrender", and he may be charged with the crime of deliberately inducing Cao's army to lose troops and lose generals. Not sure, let alone survive by then, seeing how Cao Chun gritted his teeth, plus the fact that he almost walked through the gate of hell just now, maybe by then his trial and death will become a luxury!
"My lord, this villain is also a villain! Seeing how false his words are, how can he..." Originally, Cao Cao planned to swindle the pot and close the door, and lead the army directly to Jizhou, so he only stayed in Bingzhou Three thousand auxiliary soldiers were used to defend the city, and Xiahou Dun was ordered to bring ten thousand newly trained cavalry to follow him, intending to settle Jizhou at once, but unexpectedly such a thing happened.Therefore, Xiahoudun didn't understand Cao Cao's opportunity for trial. Xiahoudun had the closest friendship with Cao Cao. Seeing Cao Cao like this, he asked directly without any scruples.

"Is there a better way for Yuan Rang?" For Xia Houdun, a childhood friend, the unfathomable expression on Cao Cao's face when he faced the trial ceremony just disappeared a lot, showing a bit of wry smile, and said: "This There are so many untrue words, how can someone not know, but if faced with a choice, whether to fill the pot with the lives of [-] brothers, or take a gamble to believe that what this villain said is actually true, and take the smallest price In exchange for the greatest benefit, if it were you, how should you choose?"

"There is no other way! It's just that I still feel that the lord is taking too much risk this time!" Xiahou Dun thought for a moment, then said in a muffled voice.Cao Cao's words made it impossible for Xiahou Dun to refute.Xiahou Dun has been in Bingzhou for a long time, so of course he understands the importance of Huguan.Although Huguan is only a pass connecting Bingzhou and Jizhou, it is actually a key point related to whether Cao Cao can seize Hebei based on the benefits of Bingzhou.With Cao Cao's ability, how can he fail to see that Hebei is actually the easiest to attack at this moment, and it is actually Youzhou, which is occupied by Gongsun Zan, who is threatened by Gongsun Kang, who caused Xiao Qiang's disaster!Youzhou and Bingzhou have only a long and narrow canyon as a barrier. Before, there was a Youzhou cavalry station on the other side of the canyon, which could not be easily captured. Now, because of the attack on Gongsun Zan's rear, most of the troops were withdrawn. With the advantage of Xiahou Dun's [-] cavalry, the odds of winning will be at least [-]% or more!But the key lies in Huguan!Huguan is now occupied by Guan Yu, Liu Bei's subordinate. If he learns that Bingzhou is empty because of the attack on Youzhou, God knows whether Liu Bei, who is always good at seizing opportunities, will use Youzhou as an issue and stand up for righteousness. Contacting Bingzhou officials who have not bought Cao Cao's account until now, this is a big risk, I really can't take it!Xiahoudun took a few breaths, the feeling of his throat being held in someone else's hand is really not good!It's no wonder that Cao Cao, who has always been cautious, would take a gamble even if he took risks.
