The Most Powerful Man in the World

The most important thing is Sun Ce's best friend, but Zhou Yu, who is only a weakling, came from Jiangdong. Not only did he bring Sun Ce's scarce food supplies, but he also recruited Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, two water warriors. .

It can be said that under the brand name of the Chang'an court, the strength of several princes who chose to stay with Yuan Shao after the break has skyrocketed, and now they are all named generals.

On the high point of the stage, Yuan Shao, surrounded by several princes, looked down, and at a glance, there was no end to the black mass, all of them were armies ready to go.

Looking at the black army and horses, Yuan Shao was full of high spirits. He couldn't help pulling out the sword from his waist, holding it up high, and shouting at the same time: "Send troops!"

Immediately, the soldiers of the three armies shouted loudly, and the mighty army went straight towards Hangu Pass like a torrent.

Sun Ce volunteered to lead his troops as the vanguard of the army, and Yuan Shao did not have to say that leading the army to sit in the middle army was the core of the army.

A huge and luxurious carriage drove out of the Imperial City, out of Chang'an City, and into the Central Army surrounded by the army. Needless to say, this carriage was carrying the emperor Liu Xie.

No matter whether the officials have opinions or not, at least in Chang'an City, no one can compete head-on with Yuan Shao. As long as Yuan Shao insists, no one can object to Yuan Shao's decision, not even the emperor.

Hangu Pass

On top of the high city wall, a group of soldiers and horses are patrolling. Just looking at these soldiers and horses, it can be seen that these soldiers can definitely be called elites.

The generals of Hangu Pass were none other than Yuan Shao's nephew. Yuan Shao chose not to appoint Zhang He, who had already shown his prominence, or the experienced generals such as Li Jue, Guo Si, and Xu Rong. Instead, he chose high officials. Needless to say, it is because the relationship between high officials and Yuan Shao is extraordinary.

Of course, Yuan Shao is not a fool. He knows better than anyone how important Hangu Pass is to Chang'an City, so he appointed Gao Gan as the city guard of Hangu Pass, but he also assigned Xu Rong to Gao Gao to do the job. Assist the high-ranking officers to defend the city.

Coupled with the fact that tens of thousands of elite troops are stationed in Hangu Pass, including Xu Rong, high officials and some generals, it can be said that the huge Hangu Pass is absolutely impregnable.

Besides, Chang'an City is not too far from Hangu Pass. If the Luoyang court raised an army to attack Hangu Pass, Yuan Shao could naturally dispatch troops to support Hangu Pass as soon as possible, so don't look at Gao Gan and Xu Rong. The two were sitting at Hangu Pass, and it seemed that Yuan Shao didn't care that much about Hangu Pass, but that was not the case.

Gao Gan, as the main guard of Hangu Gate, seems to be due to his close relationship with Yuan Shao, but Gao Gan's own talents are not bad. It can be said that he is both civil and military.

Of course, compared to Zhang He and Li Jue, these natural talents are a little worse, but there is still some ability to defend the city, so since the high cadres sat in Hangu Pass, the high cadres handed over the power to Xu Rong, Knowing people and making good use of them will make Hangu Pass like a copper wall and an iron wall.

At this time, Gao Gan was dressed in armor, and the whole person looked full of heroism. One of the generals beside him was not under Gao Qian's style. It was Xu Rong, the general of the Xiliang Army who had defected to Yuan Shao.

Xu Rong was standing beside Gao Gan at the moment, pointing to the wide area in front of Hangu Pass and said: "General, around Hangu Pass, within a radius of several miles, everything that should be cleaned has been cleaned up, although it is said that there is not much of it. It can play a role, but it can also cause some trouble to the incoming enemy."

Gao Gan nodded slightly. If he could, he would like to clear all the trees within a dozen kilometers of Hangu Pass. Unfortunately, there are many mountains and rivers near Hangu Pass. Even if he sent all his soldiers out, I'm afraid it can't be done.

Taking a deep breath, Gao Gan looked at Xu Rong and said, "But there is General Lao."

Xu Rong hurriedly said: "The general has said it, this is just a matter of the last general."

To be honest, for Xu Rongzhi's ability, Gao Gan couldn't help but admire him. At first, he really didn't expect Xu Rong to be so capable. In the huge Hulao Pass, tens of thousands of troops were in his hands without any disorder. He handled it in an orderly manner. You must know that even if he was the one who started it, he might not be able to handle the many affairs in Hulao Pass if he was in a hurry.

Although Xu Rong's reputation under Dong Zhuo is not as good as Li Jue and Guo Si, but when it comes to ability, he is not necessarily worse than the two. You must know that Xu Rong has defeated Cao Cao twice and twice. Sun Jian's achievements must not be taken lightly.

If it wasn't for Xu Rong's early death, he might not have been able to achieve a good story in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms.

Gao Gan glanced at Xu Rong and said slowly: "The general led the army out of Chang'an City, and it will take a long time to reach Hangu Pass, and the army led by the thief of Chu is still two days away from Hangu Pass. , Before the general arrives at Hangu Pass, the army of the Chu thief is afraid that it will be too late to arrive, so you and I can feel at ease."

However, Xu Rong looked at Gao Gan with a dignified expression: "General, don't be careless, under normal circumstances, the general can indeed arrive at Hangu Pass before the Chu thief, but don't forget, if the Chu thief sent cavalry, It is possible to reach Hangu Pass in half a day.”

Gao Gan said subconsciously: "Cavalry? Even if the cavalry arrives at Hangu Pass, what can he do? Can he still use the cavalry to attack the city?"

Xu Rong said solemnly: "No matter what, before the general arrives, you and I must not have the slightest negligence, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!"

Hearing Xu Rong say this, Gao Gan took a deep breath and bowed to Xu Rong: "Someone has been taught, this time Hangu Pass is not lost, the general should remember the first merit!"

On the road from Luoyang to Hangu Pass, smoke and dust rolled in, and the ground shook with rumbles. Looking around, I saw a black army of soldiers and horses roaring, and it was a group of cavalry.

At first glance, this cavalry team could not see the end. The number of soldiers and horses was no less than ten thousand. The leading general held Fang Tianhua halberd and rode a red rabbit horse under him. It was Lu Bu.

Lu Bu galloped on his horse, and several generals beside him followed Lu Bu, but they were not far behind.

Lu Bu looked back at Taishi Ci behind him and said, "Ziyi, how long will it take to reach Hangu Pass?"

Taishi Ci pondered for a while, looked around and said, "If there is no accident, you can reach Hangu Pass in at most an hour's journey!"

Hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't help his eyes lit up and said, "Okay, pass my order, ordering everyone to be non-stop, I want to arrive under Hangu Pass within an hour."

Chu Yi attacked the Chang'an court and dispatched [-] troops, including tens of thousands of cavalry. As a pioneer, Lu Bu was not the kind of person who followed the rules. He didn't take his role as a pioneer at all.

However, this move of Lu Bu was also expected by Chu Yi. Chu Yi knew Lu Bu well, and naturally he could think of the possibility that Lu Bu would lead the leading army to reach Hangu Pass first.

Sure enough, when Lu Bu sent out his troops, he was like a wild horse.

Under normal circumstances, the vanguard army must maintain a certain distance from the central army. On the one hand, it opens the way for the army, and on the other hand, it prevents the army from being attacked. As a result, Lu Bu simply ignored it, and tens of thousands of cavalry suddenly opened up with the army. The distance between them is like forgetting that they are the vanguard of the army.

There is a checkpoint a few miles in front of Hangu Pass. This checkpoint is nothing more than a beacon tower, plus a fortress, where more than a hundred people are stationed.

This level is not to block the enemy, but mainly to detect the intruding enemy in advance and set up for the warning of Hangu Pass.

There are quite a few levels like this, almost every one or two miles away. Therefore, whenever there is an incoming enemy, no matter how fast the speed is, it is absolutely impossible not to disturb the situation of this level. The next appears before Hangu Pass.

There are so many levels, but if one is disturbed, the smoke billows in an instant, which can warn the officers and soldiers of Hangu Pass.

At this time, in the first checkpoint, some of the hundreds of soldiers were resting in the fort and some were maintaining enough vigilance to patrol.

Suddenly, the earth shook, and the smoke billowed. In the fortress, a superintendent shouted with a horrified expression: "Hurry up and raise the wolf smoke to warn you, there is an enemy coming."

However, as soon as a horse came in, it was Lu Bu holding a painted halberd. He saw the Tianhua halberd in Lu Bu's hand slashing down from the sky. With a bang, just one blow, the fortress exploded, and more than a hundred soldiers He died on the spot, and even the beacon fire didn't have time to ignite.

Lu Bu passed by on horseback, looking at the level that was in ruins, his eyes showed a bit of solemnity. Since he chose to march quickly, he naturally knew something about the level before Hangu Pass, so he destroyed this place as soon as he shot. level.

However, Lu Bu also knew that it would be quite difficult for him to arrive at Hangu Pass without knowing it. Other than that, he could not guarantee that these passes would be destroyed so smoothly every time.

In particular, the movement of the tens of thousands of cavalrymen was too loud, and the billowing smoke and ground shaking could be detected even from a few miles away. He destroyed this level, and the movement may have been detected at the next level.

Of course, since Lu Bu chose to march quickly, he had expected all of these, so with the speed of the red rabbit horse, Lu Bu was stunned to advance the army more than ten miles, clearing obstacles for the army one step ahead.

The first thousand one hundred and two chapters

After looking around and making sure that there was no one alive, Lu Bu slammed the red rabbit horse under him, and the red rabbit horse disappeared like a stream of light.

From the first checkpoint to the Hangu Pass, there are four checkpoints in this section, and there is one checkpoint almost a mile or two away. It can be said that as long as there are no accidents, the existence of these checkpoints can definitely be the first time. Be aware of incoming enemies.

However, this time, these few checkpoints encountered monsters like Lu Bu, destroying a checkpoint with one person's power. This is definitely not something ordinary people can do.

Of course, for the powerhouses like Lu Bu and Dian Wei, if they want to destroy a checkpoint immediately, it is not too difficult to let anyone go.

At this moment, Lu Bu was standing in front of the last checkpoint. He was standing here, surrounded by ruins. That checkpoint had been easily razed to the ground by Lu Bu. From a distance, he could even clearly see the tall tall man. Hanguguan City Wall.

This place is only two or three miles away from Hangu Pass, and the movement of Hangu Pass can already be clearly seen.

A group of cavalry slowly slowed down when they approached Hangu Pass a dozen miles away. Taishi Ci, as Lu Bu's deputy, took over the command of the army from Lu Bu, and was leading the group slowly. Approaching the Hangu Pass.

Taishi Ci naturally did not object to Lu Bu's calculations. Like Lu Bu, he naturally wanted to make a contribution in this battle and show his own style.

What can be better than a sneak attack on Hangu Pass, and even breaking Hangu Pass in World War I can be a blockbuster.

Although Taishi Ci is not optimistic about this move, but he is not optimistic about it. If he doesn't even have the courage to try it, then he is not Taishi Ci.

Looking at the checkpoint and the corpses that had turned into ruins from a distance, Taishi Ci could see that this was definitely what Lu Bu did.

Although he could destroy a checkpoint in a very short period of time, Taishi Ci could not guarantee that a strong fortress and hundreds of elite soldiers could be destroyed by a single blow like Lu Bu.

However, with Lu Bu leading the way at the moment, Taishi Ci was naturally very at ease. Unless Lu Bu was willing to expose himself, it was really impossible for these soldiers to detect Lu Bu's whereabouts in advance.

The army quickly passed through the levels that were destroyed everywhere, even if it was close to Hangu Pass, it did not alert the direction of Hangu Pass.

Taishi Ci soon saw a figure riding on a war horse with his back facing him, and in front of him was the towering city wall.

Taking a deep breath, Taishi Ciqu immediately said, "General Lu!"

Lu Bu turned around and glanced at Taishi Ci and the army behind him. A bright light flashed in his eyes and said, "General Taishi, please rush with me for a while."

Taishi Ci nodded at Lv Bu, then raised his spear in his hand, without shouting or slogans, but all the cavalry had high morale, especially when they saw Lü Bu's figure, all the soldiers seemed to have found their faith.

An incomparably gigantic evil wolf appeared above the sky, and the wolf suddenly descended with a silent roar, adding a strange aura to this cavalry army.

The army accelerated in an instant, heading straight for Hangu Pass at an astonishing speed.

At this time, the distance between the army and Hangu Pass was actually only two or three miles away. There was no movement before, and the defenders in Hangu Pass had too much trust in those checkpoints, so no more sentries were arranged to watch. Therefore, when the army approached Hangu Pass, the defenders in Hangu Pass were not alerted.

But when the tens of thousands of cavalrymen ran, whether it was the sound of the earth shaking or the billowing smoke, all of a sudden the defenders in Hangu Pass were alarmed.

It's not that Lu Bu and the others don't want to sneak close to Hangu Pass, the key is that it's impossible to approach in this way in the last few miles.

As long as there is such a second-rate general on the city wall, if you look around, you may notice that tens of thousands of troops are approaching.

Even Lu Bu himself never thought that he would be able to lead tens of thousands of troops to approach Hangu Pass for several miles without being discovered by the defenders.

Anyway, for the cavalry with the blessing of the military spirit, this distance is only a moment's effort, and at this moment, the Kung Fu Hanguguan defenders may not be able to respond.

As long as the defenders of Hangu Pass are not ready, this time is enough for them to be under Hangu Pass. When the morale of the army above Hangu Pass is in turmoil, the morale of the army will inevitably drop, and Lu Bu will be sure to enter Hangu Pass and open it. The city gate, in one fell swoop, entered Hangu Pass.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack..."

The shrill roar came from above the city wall, followed by the sound of the desolate horn and horn, which spread throughout Hangu Pass.

Gao Gan, who had just finished the inspection for a long time, returned to the mansion and hadn't had time to drink a sip of tea when he suddenly heard the desolate horn sound.

From the rapid sound of the horn, you can tell that there is a strong enemy coming.

Gao Gan suddenly stood up, and while striding out of the living room, he shouted at the soldiers who had reacted: "Wear armor for this general!"

Immediately, several personal soldiers took the high cadre's armor. When the high cadre appeared at the gate, the shiny armor was already dressed, and he took a spear from the personal soldier's hand. He shouted, "Follow me to see who is going to commit Hangu Pass."

In fact, there is no need to guess, Gao Gan can probably imagine that nine out of ten who appeared before Hangu Pass at this time were the vanguard troops dispatched by the Luoyang court.

It's just that Gao Gan didn't expect that the other party actually wanted to attack Hangu Pass. Wasn't he taking these guards into his eyes?

At any rate, Hangu Pass is also a famous and important pass in the world. When there are tens of thousands of troops guarding it, it is not so easy to break through. Without seeing that Hulao Pass, hundreds of thousands of troops were sent to the city. Are you under the Hulao Pass?

And the hero of Hangu Pass is not under Hulao Pass, so high officials do not believe that someone can break the defense of Hangu Pass, especially if they are prepared.

On the city wall, Xu Rong is definitely a qualified general. Since he was stationed at Hangu Pass, he has rarely walked down the city wall. It can be said that he has been on the city wall most of the time.

When Lu Bu led the army, Xu Rong happened to be on the city wall, so Xu Rong showed up immediately, stabilized the panic of the army, and made the best arrangement.

Because Xu Rong stayed on the city wall for a long time, he was very familiar with the defenders above the city wall. Those defenders were also no strangers to Xu Rong, so Xu Rong could make arrangements in a very short time, and even order Down to the level of every senior, it can be seen that Xu Rong is familiar with the defenders above the city wall.

Here, Lu Bu led the army to appear under Hangu Pass, and Lu Bu rose to the sky, waved the halberd in his hand, and suddenly a fierce light came straight to Hangu Pass.

"Lu Bu is here, you can't wait to open the city and surrender!"

Lu Bu's name is absolutely shocking the world. When the defenders on the city wall saw Lu Bu, their expressions changed one by one, but Xu Rong raised his brows when he saw Lu Bu, and there was a glint in his eyes.

"Army up!"

With Xu Rong's cry, he saw the suffocating aura of the endless army rise up and permeate the Hangu Pass. In the blink of an eye, Lu Bu's blow hit the rolling suffocating suffocation. Disappeared by the suffocation of the army, only a shallow scratch was left on the high city wall.

"Ok!"

Looking at the heavily guarded appearance of Hangu Pass, this was obviously very different from what Lu Bu expected, which made Lu Bu look at the general above Hangu Pass in a bit of amazement.

"Who are you, report your name quickly, maybe Lu Mou can spare your life!"

Xu Rong laughed, looked at Lu Bu and said, "Xiliang Xu Rong is here, Lu Bu, this road is blocked, so don't hurry back!"
