Rogue master in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 80
After Dong Huang returned to Chang'an, the [-] army led by Chen Wei continued to advance along the Yellow River, traveling hundreds of miles a day, passing through Weinan, and arrived at Tongguan three days later.

If Luoyang is the barrier of Chang'an, then Tongguan is the last line of defense east of Chang'an.Tongguan is a battleground for military strategists, with the turbulent Yellow River to the north and the majestic Huashan Mountain to the south. Therefore, if Cao Cao and Zhu Jun wanted to attack Chang'an, Tongguan was the only way to go.

When the great army arrived at Tongguan, Xu Rong, the city guard, led all the generals and advisers out of the city to meet them.Xu Rong is Dong Zhuo's confidant with extraordinary abilities, so Dong Zhuo entrusted Xu Rong to guard the important pass of Tongguan.Although Xu Rong was respectful to the general Chen Wei on the surface, but his eyes were shining, giving people a feeling of inconsistency.Chen Wei didn't have a good impression of him. On the contrary, Yan Shou and Xu Rong were old friends. During the period, they intentionally or unintentionally avoided Chen Wei in their speeches, which made Chen Wei feel dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.

Xu Rong hosted a banquet in his own general's mansion in Tongguan City. At the banquet, Xu Rong saw Dong Bai, the granddaughter of Grand Master Dong Zhuo, also went out with the army. He was quite surprised. A little more respectful.Also because of Dong Bai, during the banquet, many experts and generals began to get close to Chen Wei. Xu Rong also introduced Chen Wei one by one. .

"General Chen, this is Mr. Jia Xu from Guzang, Wuwei. He is quite intelligent." Finally, Xu Rong introduced a young man who looked like a Confucian scholar to Chen Wei. Obviously, this young man was arranged to be introduced at the end. , obviously the status is relatively low, and Xu Rong's words are also casual, and if he mentions it in one stroke, he will not get Xu Rong's attention.

However, when Chen Wei heard the name "Jia Xu", he felt familiar, and suddenly his body shook, and he was moved: "It turns out that Mr. Jia Xu has a lot of tricks and plans, and I have admired him for a long time!"

When Chen Wei was in the 21st century, he especially loved Yi Zhongtian's "Three Kingdoms". family.Mr. Yi believes that this is the real great wisdom. Jia Xu may be the smartest person in the Three Kingdoms period, not inferior to Zhuge Liang.So when Chen Wei heard that this person was Jia Xu, he lost his composure immediately.

Jia Xu was dark and thin, and she didn't look like a celebrity at all in appearance.Hearing that Chen Wei praised him so much, Jia Xu was inexplicably astonished, and hurriedly bent down and cupped his hands and said, "General Chen has been misrepresented, how dare I, Jia Xu, pretend to be full of tricks and schemes, and I just want to serve under General Xu and do my best to do my best?" It's just power."

A strange look appeared on Xu Rong's face. He said that Jia Xu was intelligent, but it was just a polite compliment. In fact, Jia Xu was unknown, and he never agreed with Jia Xu at all, but from Chen Wei's words, It sounds like Jia Xu has been famous for a long time, so he couldn't help asking: "General Chen, Mr. Jia Xu only came to work under my command last year. I don't know when and where have you heard of Mr. Jia Xu's reputation?"

Chen Wei smiled wryly in his heart, naturally he couldn't tell him that he met Jia Xu when he was watching Professor Yi Zhongtian's "Three Kingdoms" on TV, so he vaguely said: "I once made a friend who was also from Wuwei. Mr. Jia Xu’s famous incident, and I mentioned it when we chatted with me later, and I have an impression of Mr. Jia Xu..."

Xu Rong glanced at Jia Xu in surprise. Previously, Jia Xu only had a good impression of him with his sharp tongue, but he never reused it. He didn't expect this person to have a certain reputation.

Chen Wei was afraid that everyone would ask questions, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "General Xu, what is the military situation in Luoyang at the moment?"

Jia Xu saw that Chen Wei did not continue talking to him, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and then retreated wisely.This detail fell into Chen Wei's eyes. Chen Wei smiled and looked at Xu Rong without saying a word.

Xu Rong thought that Chen Wei was eager to care about the enemy's situation, so he said: "Five days ago, I sent people to escort food and grass to Luoyang. The people who came back reported that Cao Cao's [-] troops had approached Luoyang, but Zhu Jun's rebels retreated to the tiger for some reason. Lock it up, you won't be able to close it."

Chen Wei was stunned. Didn't Zhu Jun and Cao Cao form an alliance to attack Luoyang?Before his own reinforcements arrived, how could Zhu Jun temporarily retreat to Hulao Pass?
Just when Chen Wei felt a little uncomfortable, Yan Shou laughed coldly and said: "General Guo is strategizing, and with him stationed in Luoyang, how can Zhu Jun beat General Guo? retreat in defeat."

Chen Wei secretly thought in his heart that the most taboo of a general is arrogance, and what Yan Shou committed at this moment is the taboo of military strategists.

"Could it be that Zhu Jun and Cao Cao reached an agreement to retreat temporarily?" Xu Rong said.

Chen Wei nodded in agreement, this Xu Rong is definitely Dong Zhuo's general, and he didn't want to gain fame, so he immediately thought of the key point.

"So what? On the surface, Cao Cao is very powerful. He claims to have 30 soldiers in Qingzhou, but according to what you just said, there are actually only 5 people. Behind the high walls of Luoyang City, there are generals stationed. It is not easy for Cao Cao to break the city, and we When the [-] troops will be able to support Luoyang in a few days, and the day they join the general will be the day Cao Cao perishes."

Chen Wei secretly sighed that Yan Shou was too impetuous, overestimated himself and underestimated the enemy, how can you understand how powerful Cao Cao is.

After the dinner, Chen Wei returned to the residence that Xu Rong had arranged for him.After marching for many days, even if Chen Wei had a great physique, he couldn't bear the fatigue.Just when Chen Wei was about to take a break, Dong Bai insisted that he accompany her to see the scenery.Chen Wei complained unbearably, these days he tossed this savage woman quite a lot, making it seem like his majestic general was traveling instead of going to war.Moreover, she occasionally hugged Chen Wei, but she absolutely did not allow Chen Wei to break through the last line of defense, making Chen Wei even more hungry and thirsty.

In the end, Chen Wei was still forced to run to the top of the city with Dong Bai.

Stepping on the top of the city, you can see the magnificent city wall extending to the infinite distance on both sides with the undulating mountains, meandering, and the Yellow River in the distance is surging, magnificent and magnificent.

"Wow, it's so magnificent!" Dong Bai shouted happily when he saw the beautiful scenery in front of him.The soldiers guarding the city at the top of the city looked out of the voice, they were all attracted by Dong Bai's beauty, and when they saw Chen Wei here, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted.Chen Wei signaled them not to worry about him, and then followed Dong Bai around the city wall helplessly.

"The mountains over there are so beautiful, so beautiful!" Dong Bai held Chen Wei's hand and exclaimed excitedly.

Chen Wei looked at Dong Bai's pink face like a jade carved ice sculpture, it was so beautiful, he couldn't help but nodded and said: "Yes, it's so beautiful."

When Dong Bai saw Chen Wei say this, his eyes fell on his face, knowing what Chen Wei was referring to, he was very happy in his heart, but on the surface he pouted and said coquettishly: "He told you to look over there, and then look at me. Believe it or not, I gouged out your eyes?"

This girl has been getting along with Chen Wei these days, and she no longer has the barbaric arrogance that she used to have, but Chen Wei can't change her coquettishness, so she can only smile bitterly: "I believe, of course I believe, how dare I doubt Miss Dong's words, but I will continue to march tomorrow, I beg you to let me have a good rest."

Dong Bai pouted dissatisfiedly, and said unreasonably: "Hmph, Chen Wei, I misjudged you, I always thought you were an elegant scholar, and you didn't know how to appreciate this beautiful scenery in front of you. it disappointed me."

"I have never said that I am a literati. I am just a warrior, not as happy as Miss Dong." Chen Wei shrugged helplessly.

"No, you have to write poems for me, otherwise you won't be allowed to sleep tonight." Dong Bai stamped his feet angrily.

Chen Wei groaned unbearably, and after glancing at the majestic scenery in the distance, he said wearily: "Would you allow me to rest when I write poetry?"

"Yeah!" Dong Bai nodded angrily, "If you do well, I can let you sleep in my arms. But...not that..."

Chen Wei was speechless, he knew that he would be subjected to such a torment, so he beat her to death and refused to let her follow.

When he walked to the edge of the city, he saw the peaks of Huashan Mountain in front of him, and the rapids of the Yellow River a hundred meters away from the foot of the city. The river was rushing and roaring in the canyon, like a herd of wild animals.The peaks are surrounded by uneven heights and are moving, as if gathered here to accept inspection.Tongguan, majestic and formidable Tongguan, a battleground for military strategists since ancient times!

Chen Wei suddenly remembered a poem.He stood up long, with his hands behind his back, revealing a majestic physique that could fascinate any woman. Looking at the magnificent scenery in front of him from a distance, Dong Bai happened to see a sharp silhouette on his left.

"Listen up." Chen Wei murmured.

"The mountains and rivers are like clusters, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are outside and inside the Tongguan Road. Looking at the western capital, he hesitates. Sadly, where the Qin and Han Dynasties traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces have been made of soil. Prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer." Chen Wei is full of emotion. With an expression, he read "Tong Caring for the Ancients" by Zhang Yanghao, a poet of the Yuan Dynasty.

Dong Bai's eyes were filled with a layer of mist, and crystal tears flickered in them, obviously she was deeply fascinated by Chen Wei's poem.

She suddenly became obedient and came to Chen Wei's side, threw herself into his arms, and murmured: "Chen Wei, now I finally understand why Diao Chan and Feng Ji are so obsessed with you."

Chen Wei didn't expect that he could cheat Feng Ji and Dong Bai's hearts by stealing other people's poems, and he couldn't help feeling ashamed.However, the beauty's charming embrace made him immediately offset this guilt.

Just when Chen Wei was planning whether to strike while the iron was hot and completely capture the heart of this savage daughter, applause suddenly came from behind.
