Three Kingdoms King of the North

The cavalry brigade entered Hangu Pass, and Huang Zhong, Xun You, and Dong Cheng followed Zhang Bao to the guard's mansion.Seeing Zhang Bao's uneasy look, Xun You comforted him with kind words, and then sent someone to the back to report to Han Zhan, saying that Han Gu Pass had been captured.

Just when Zhang Bao was about to host a banquet for Huang Zhong and others, someone suddenly came to report: "Qiqi Duwei, thousands of horses and horses have come from outside the pass, and they are calling for the door."

Hearing this report from his subordinates, Zhang Bao thought it was Jizhou's follow-up troops, so he smiled and said: "We have surrendered to Jizhou Mu, then open the city gate immediately and let Jizhou's soldiers and horses enter the city."

"Captain Rider," the soldier replied with some embarrassment when he heard Zhang Bao say this: "The soldiers and horses from Jizhou who came from the east did not come, but from the capital from the west."

"What, come from the capital?" Zhang Bao immediately jumped up from his seat when he heard the soldiers say that, and asked nervously, "Can you see who is the leader?"

"The little one only saw the word Li on the flag." The soldier replied, "But who is the general who will come?"

Seeing Zhang Bao's flustered expression, Xun You took the initiative to say, "Captain Zhang Qi, why don't we go up to the city wall to see who is here."

"It's so good." Zhang Bao regretted it very much at the moment. He had just returned to Jizhou, but who knew that another army came from the capital, and he didn't know whether he could handle it with the troops in the pass.Hearing that Xun You said to go to the city wall to have a look, he readily agreed.

A group of people came to the top of the city wall, leaning on the crenel and looking down.I saw a general riding a bay red horse shouting towards the city wall: "I am Li Ying, the younger brother of Da Sima. Quickly open the city gate and let me enter."

"It's Li Ying's younger brother Li Ying," Zhang Bao was still sweating profusely from fright after learning that it was Li Ying who came.He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and asked Xun You nervously: "Mr. Xun, what should we do?"

After hearing this, Xun You just smiled lightly, turned to Huang Zhong and said, "Han Sheng, this man is Li Jue's younger brother, I wonder if you can handle it?"

Huang Zhong looked at Li Ying who was outside the pass, and said with a sneer, "I look at Li Ying as if he were selling his ears!"

Although Xun You knew Huang Zhong's superb martial arts skills, he was afraid that he would underestimate the enemy, so he reminded him: "Han Sheng, don't underestimate the enemy."

Chapter 275

Because Yang Feng appeared as a mediator, Li Jue realized that the soldiers and horses he deployed to the east of the capital were a little unreliable.In order to prevent another person like Yang Feng from appearing again, Li Jue specially sent his brother Li Ying to lead thousands of people to Hangu Pass to prevent the princes outside the pass from being released into the pass.

Although he dispatched Li Ying in time, it was still a step too late.When Li Ying arrived at Hangu Pass, the guard Zhang Bao had already dedicated the pass to the Jizhou army.And Li Ying also became the ghost under Huang Zhong's sword without knowing it.

After annihilating the Li Jue army led by Li Ying, in order to prevent his whereabouts from being revealed prematurely, Xun You sent someone to clean up the battlefield, dug a big pit, and threw the corpses of the Li Jue troops who died in the battle into the big pit.

After doing all this, Xun You said to Huang Zhong: "Han Sheng, in order to prevent Li Jue's army from noticing that our army has entered the pass, the scouts sent out should wear the clothes of Li Jue's army, so as not to show their feet."

"What Mr. Xun said is very true." Huang Zhong felt that what Xun You said was very reasonable. If Li Jue knew that the Jizhou army was marching towards Chang'an, he would definitely have a truce with Guo Si, and then the two armies would join forces to deal with the Jizhou army.Even if the Jizhou army wins at that time, it will inevitably pay a big price.

In the early morning of the next day, when Huang Zhong and Xun You were having breakfast, a soldier suddenly came to report: "Send to Captain Huang and Mr. Xun, there is a messenger from the lord outside asking to see you."

Hearing that it was Han Zhan's messenger, the two immediately knew that there must be something important, and quickly ordered the soldiers: "Quickly invite the lord's messenger here."

When the messenger came in, before he could speak, Xun You asked anxiously, "Where is my lord now?"

The messenger glanced at Xun You and said respectfully: "Return to Mr. Xun You, the Lord's army has crossed the Yellow River and was stationed on the bank of the Yellow River last night." After speaking, he took out a bamboo tube from his waist and handed it to Huang Zhong. , said, "Lieutenant Huang, here is the master's personal letter, please read it."

Huang Zhong took the bamboo tube, took out a piece of cloth full of words from it, and examined it carefully.After reading it, he was stunned. He handed the cloth in his hand to Xun You and said, "Mr. Xun, can you help me see what is written on it?"

After reading the above content, Xun You couldn't help laughing, then cupped his hands to Huang Zhong: "Congratulations to General Huang, congratulations to General Huang, from now on, you are a general."

Dong Cheng and Zhang Bao, who were sitting on the side, got up quickly when they heard the news, and congratulated Huang Zhong: "Congratulations, general, congratulations, general!"

"Come here!" Knowing that he was promoted to general, Huang Zhong was very happy, and he quickly ordered his soldiers: "Bring two wines, I want to have a drink with you all."

Seeing that the soldiers turned around and wanted to move the wine jar, Xun You quickly stopped Huang Zhong and said to him, "Han Sheng is slow to be happy, my lord has arranged another thing for us."

"What's the matter?"

Xun You pointed to the left side of Bubo, and said to Huang Zhong, "Look, the superior ordered me to return all the surrendered soldiers of Li Jue's army, and let them go back to Li Jue's army to spread rumors, so as to break the morale of Li Jue's army."

Let the surrendered soldiers go back to spread rumors. Huang Zhong naturally has no objection to such an arrangement, but he still has a question in his heart, so he asked: "Mr. Xun, if we send all the surrendered soldiers back, we can certainly raise The purpose is to disintegrate Li Jue's army. But once Guo Si finds out and takes the opportunity to attack Li Jue, won't we make wedding clothes for them?"

Regarding Huang Zhong's worries, Xun You nodded and said, "Han Sheng's words are very true. My lord has already considered your concerns. He will also send someone to the capital to contact Yuanzhi and let him find a suitable one. to go to Guo Si's army to spread rumors."

In order not to delay Han Zhan's important event, Huang Zhong ordered people to release more than 1000 surrendered soldiers locked in the barracks as soon as he finished breakfast.Before letting him go, he said to the surrendered soldiers: "Li Jue conspired against him, and those who follow him will be thieves, and there will be a lot of trouble in the future. You are all from Xiliang. Why should you follow him to make trouble in the capital? Come back quickly." home, so as not to implicate the family in the future."

After saying these words, Huang Zhong ordered the soldiers to be given two naans and a bag of water each, and then drove them out of Hangu Pass.These surrendered soldiers yesterday were forced to surrender. Seeing that Huang Zhong wanted to let him go home, he was overjoyed.As soon as they got out of Hangu Pass, everyone scattered and headed west in small groups.

Besides, after Li Jue defeated Yang Feng, he fought Guo Si again.The two sides fought for several days in a row, winning and losing each other, but neither could do anything to the other.This day, when the troops were withdrawn and returned to the camp, they were still panting. Suddenly, a soldier came to report that the soldiers who had followed Li Ying to Hangu Pass had returned.

Li Jue was taken aback when he heard the news, and secretly said in his heart that these soldiers were not at Hangu Pass to help his brothers defend the city, so why did they all run back to the capital?Thinking of this, he quickly ordered two soldiers to come in, wanting to ask what was going on.

The two soldiers who were called into the tent saw Li Jue sitting in the middle of the big tent, and quickly crawled up in front of him with hands and feet, and said in a crying voice: "Da Sima, General Li was in an accident outside Hangu Pass." , and please avenge him."

"What, my brother encountered an accident outside Hangu Pass." Li Jue couldn't help but feel dark when he heard the news. If he hadn't held on to the table in front of him in time, he would have fallen to the ground long ago.He got up and walked over to grab the skirt of a soldier and asked, "Tell me, Sima, who did it?"

The surrendered soldiers who were released were all imprisoned in Hangu Pass for a long time, so they naturally knew who was occupying the pass.Hearing Li Jue's question at this moment, he quickly replied, "It's Jizhou soldiers and horses!"

"What, Jizhou soldiers and horses?"

Because Yang Feng appeared as a mediator, Li Jue realized that the soldiers and horses he deployed to the east of the capital were a little unreliable.In order to prevent another person like Yang Feng from appearing again, Li Jue specially sent his brother Li Ying to lead thousands of people to Hangu Pass to prevent the princes outside the pass from being released into the pass.
