At this moment, Zhou Yu's hands were already sweating a little, but he pretended to be calm and waited quietly in the woods by the roadside, as if he wanted to give the passerby A big surprise for the rebels.

After he led people to raid thousands of miles to arrive in Hanyang County that day, in addition to giving the defenders in the city some opportunities to pass on news during the initial period, he sent people to block the news channels of Ji County and even the whole Hanyang throughout the whole process, so that here No more news was passed on.

As for the "Ji county defenders" who claimed that Hanyang had been taken by the Han army, they were just his own people sent out to confuse the public, in order to make those who besieged Chencang mess up.

It's just that he didn't imagine that this trick of doing things at will would have such a remarkable effect.

If the news reported by the spies on his side is not wrong, the current kingdom has brought the largest group of soldiers he can carry, and rushed to Hanyang day and night, and he is on the only way for the other party.

If it succeeds this time, then when the army is ambushed, there is a blockade ahead, and there are pursuers behind, it is almost a certainty that Wang Guo and others will be defeated or even caught.

Even though he, Zhou Yu, was no longer a rookie who just entered the society, he had never participated in a battle of this scale, so he was naturally a little nervous and a little excited.

It wasn't until he recalled his purpose that those somewhat youthful eyes gradually became firmer.

……

"Calm down... yes, Zhou Gongjin, you must calm down."

"Your goal is far from being as simple as winning this battle. Then He Jin is extremely stupid and uncoordinated, and sooner or later he will be killed by his own power. He is just your springboard!"

"What you want is power, the power to protect yourself and those around you, not to be complacent as a pawn of other people!"

Secretly making up his mind, Zhou Yu squeezed his sweaty hands, and couldn't help but start thinking about this battle, and how he should maximize his benefits.

And soon, a name entered his field of vision.

Huangfusong, the main general of the Han army who wiped out Wang Guo and others this time, the last first-class general of the Han Dynasty, and the current card of the entire Han Dynasty, is also the person who is most likely to take over the position of the opponent's general after He Jin's accident in the future...

As long as the emperor at that time is not too stupid.

In other words, as long as he can successfully get on the line with the opponent in this battle, it can be said to be an extra guarantee for the future.

……

"Report!"

"Captain Zhou, those rebels have really come, and the leader is a horse archer composed of Qianghu. This is the main force of the kingdom's thieves!"

"Our scouts also found out that behind this army, there is a Han army of more than 1 people chasing and killing them. They should all be soldiers under General Huangfu's command!"

While Zhou Yu was still in a daze, a messenger suddenly stumbled towards him from a distance, with a hint of joy on his face.

Zhou Yu didn't talk nonsense when he heard the words, but stood up abruptly, and looked at the people beside him with some excitement.

"Good come!"

"I've been waiting here for three days, waiting for this moment!"

"Quick! Pass on my order. The whole army will attack. The target is the remnants of the kingdom. We must block them while they are fleeing in a hurry, and form a double-sided situation with the reinforcements behind, and join hands to destroy the enemy bandits!"

"Also, generals, you must remember to look for the bandit leaders such as Wang Guo in the chaos. If you can catch them alive, you can catch them alive. If you can't, you can kill them directly. This is a great achievement, and you must not let him escape. !"

"As for me... I will go to see General Huangfu, and I may come back later. If I don't go back to the camp today, you don't have to worry. Just follow my instructions and arrest a few middle-level generals from the kingdom. The defenders of Hanyang just need to open the gate."

"As I said before, as long as those people pretend to ask for help and implore them to attack us from the city, and encircle our army on both sides, the defenders on the other side will definitely not refuse."

"At that time, the gates of Jixian County will be wide open. If you want to take this place, is it just pinching your index finger and being sure?"

Chapter 42 Hidden dangers in Ding Yuan's army

The line of sight returned to Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty.

While Zhou Yu was sent by He Jin to lead the Northern Expedition to suppress the rebellion, the troops led by Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo also arrived at Hangu Pass near Luoyang one after the other.

The ancients have said that Luoyang, as the capital of the emperor through the ages, is surrounded by sanitation, surrounded by many powerful passes, and the situation is dangerous and solid.

Around Luoyang, there are five continental passes of Hangu, Yique, Guangcheng, Dagu, and Yuyuan, and three water crossings, namely the Revolving Gate, Mengjin, and Xiaopingjin, which are collectively called "Luoyang Eight Passes". The direction of the city is guarding this majestic city that has stood for hundreds of years.

Among the eight passes, the most famous one is the Hangu Pass that Lao Tzu passed through when he went west to Huahu.

The legend of "Purple Qi coming from the East" at Hangu Pass can be said to have influenced generations of Chinese people, making them always have a very strong confidence in their own culture.

Among the eight Luoyang passes, Hangu Pass also corresponds to the northwest direction.

As long as outsiders pass this pass, they can be regarded as officially entering Luoyang.

As for Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo who came from the north, before they got the permission to enter Beijing, they naturally stationed all the tens of thousands of troops here.

……

As the saying goes, the passing of soldiers is like a comb, and the passing of bandits is like a grate.

The presence of an overly large army not only brings about peace and stability in terms of law and order, but also often places a considerable burden on the local people.

Whether it is the food supplies of these tens of thousands of soldiers, or the panic caused by "outside soldiers" crossing the border, ordinary people in later generations who have experienced military reforms in the new century cannot easily imagine.

It can be said that anyone can easily see that at the moment, if these people are here all at once, it will definitely not be a long-term thing.

To put it lightly, the existence of these soldiers will have a considerable impact on the lives of the people in Hangu Guanyi, Luoyang.

If it is more serious, it is not impossible for them to break out of mutiny after the food and grass are exhausted.

And just under such an undercurrent, a small contradiction may turn into a spark, completely igniting the tension in the air.

……

In 189 AD, on the ninth day of April, at night.

In a large army camp outside Hangu Pass, several men who were more than eight feet tall and strong like human-shaped beasts sat around the fire, and the discontent on their faces could almost be seen with the naked eye.

……

"Damn it, what the hell is going on in He Jin's mind! He called us to Luoyang from such a far away place, but he didn't let us enter Beijing, so he just stuck in this wild place all day long. Are you treating us like monkeys?"

……

"And the lord is also the same, can't you be tougher!"

"Then He Jin will listen to whatever He Jin says, and he will be so happy when he brings a few beautiful concubines and a few boxes of fine wine, and he won't mention the matter of going to Beijing anymore..."

"Look at this wine, it's not as good as my own brew!"

"It's really bad luck!"

……

Near the fire, those big men were scooping up some muddy liquor with earthenware bowls, and could not stop cursing and complaining.It could be heard from outside the camp that their grievances were the most serious towards the supreme leader of this army, Ding Yuan.

It's just that the guards who were in charge of guarding at night heard such words and smelled the smell of alcohol in the tent, but they didn't even dare to take a breath, let alone stop them, or punish them according to the military order that they can't drink alcohol. the other party.

It's not because of anything else, it's just that everyone in the tent counts as one, and the lowest is a senior general at the level of Ding Yuan's eight master generals.No matter what they said, it was not something that a soldier like myself could get involved in at will.

No matter how the other party scolded Ding Yuan, it was all family affairs, a conflict between the retainers and the head of the family, how could it be the turn of a monster like himself to intervene?

Besides, this Ding Yuan... even if he was scolded, he deserved it.

Gently sniffing the smell of wine in the room with his nose, the guard looked towards the opposite direction of the camp not far away, and suddenly felt a sense of envy aroused from his heart.

"...Hey, I really want to drink too... Generals, if you don't like this kind of bad wine, then give it to our group of big-headed soldiers... We don't despise it."

"But Governor Ding is also real. Dong Zhuo's [-] men were rewarded with nearly a thousand catties of fine wine and tens of catties of gold. Even if they were distributed to everyone, there would still be more than four dollars worth of wine to spend. Alcoholism..."

"But what about us?"

"We have tens of thousands of soldiers, big and small, who were appeased and given less than a thousand catties of fine wine... This is so even that everyone has no money on their heads, and all of them were given by the generals above. , The captain drank it, and we big soldiers can't even smell it, what's the matter..."

Outside the camp, the soldiers on duty at night also had a hint of resentment on their faces.

As for the interior of the camp, those senior generals who were called "eight generals" by the guards, let alone resentment.

If there is no Dong Zhuo and his gang for comparison, this life can still survive... But if people compare people, it is not just as simple as being mad at people.

People's jealousy can often affect many things, even kindness and loyalty will be worn down in the day-to-day jealousy.

……

"Hey, I said Big Brother Fengxian, I've already called you Big Brother, you should go talk to the lord!"

"We have been blocked outside Hangu Pass every day, what has happened?"

"Wen Yuan entered the customs early, and was ordered to go to Beijing to guard last year. That's his luck!"

"But what about the brothers?"

"Brother, my dear brother... This is the place where you have the closest relationship with the lord, and the lord is willing to listen to you, so you should persuade him as soon as possible!"

"It's a pity that I thought I could live a comfortable life for two days when I entered the customs with my lord, but I didn't expect that after laying the floor for a month, even bed sores were almost born!"

Near the fire, a somewhat drunk man was holding a pottery bowl in one hand, while complaining to the leader with a mournful face.

Perhaps in other places, if any one of these people is singled out, they are all powerful generals who can stand alone.But compared with the leader, it seems to be the difference between an eagle and a chick. No matter how strong a chicken or duck is, its deterrence and sense of presence cannot be compared with a bird of prey.

I saw that the leader was also holding a wine jar in his hand, but he didn't look like he was drunk. Instead, his complexion was slightly rosy, and his eyes were energetic as if there were lightning flashing out at any time.

Chapter 43 Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality

"Okay, okay, Nukou, don't complain, I know it's difficult for you, and it's difficult for me, who doesn't have it difficult!"

"Do you think I haven't told my lord? My lord..."

"Well, you know his temperament, my lord. He has never had any opinions. No matter who says two nice words or does two nice things, he treats them as if they have a good relationship with him. I can't persuade you!"

"Do you think I don't know how difficult it is for the brothers? No matter how difficult it is... don't you have to wait a little longer? Is it possible that you can really give up and go back to our hometown in Bingzhou?"

"Learn Cao Xing, be patient, be patient..."

"Come... drink first, drink!"

While comforting, while speaking to the man called "Ku Nu" with emotion, Lu Bu's expression at this time was not very good.

Of course he knew what Zang Ba said just now, and he could even say he felt the same way.

But what else could he do?

Zang Ba and others can still complain to themselves when they are in a bad mood, but who can they complain to when they are in a bad mood?

Are you looking for Ding Yuan?

Ding Yuan is his godfather, foster father!If this relationship is placed in the army, it is to be filial to him as his own father... Therefore, even if Lu Bu has eleven million grievances in his heart, he can't express it in front of Ding Yuan. Otherwise, Ding Yuan would label him as unfilial.

When did he, Lu Fengxian, suffer from this kind of bird spirit in Jiuyuan County?No one dared to challenge him in Wuyuan County!

Thinking back to how powerful he was when he was young, Lu Bu doubted whether it was an appropriate decision for him to become an official with Ding Yuan.
