By the way, this battle should be regarded as an optional battle. If you choose the fantasy route, you can avoid this battle. After all, the difficulty of this battle is still relatively high in the early stage, especially when all the ambush troops must be eliminated to pass the level.

Of course, for Cao Cao and Sun Jian, two epic hardcore players, only this level of difficulty can inspire their passion.

Lee Seo-sil: What are you working hard for? No matter how slim the chance is, as long as you hold on tight, you will succeed one day...? Magical girl Lilikaru Magika Noonaha is about to start~

"Wentai, you once marched westward with the imperial army and passed through the Hongnong area many times. I wonder if you know any dangerous passes along the way. Although Dong's thieves have shown their weakness, Li Ru's plot must be guarded against. I'm worried that the other party will do it in advance. Make some arrangements."

"What Meng De said is very reasonable, and I also have such worries. If we talk about Hongnong County, it can be said that the terrain is dangerous. It is surrounded by the Yellow River in the north and mountains in the south. Since the pre-Qin era, there has been an important pass, Hangu Pass, to guard the east and west. The passage can be said to be a dangerous place. Now it is even more dangerous. It can be said that every step is scary and you need to be careful at every step."

Regarding Sun Jian's answer, Cao Cao had a strong desire to complain, because this answer was really cheating. If it was really like what Sun Jian said, then why should they pursue it? They were just attacking various levels along the way. You can make them kneel down directly.

Of course, with Cao Cao's children's shoes in the city, he did not show any dissatisfaction. Of course, the most critical reason was that Sun Jian beside him still led his men to the west without slowing down at all, and did not show any signs of difficulties. appearance.

"But," Sun Jian seemed to have heard Cao Cao's complaints in his heart. Sun Jian took a big breath and said a change of tone. However, how could Cao Cao think that this girl was a scumbag? Now he was snickering in his heart. Mouth!

"Tie Dong must be hoping to return to Chang'an as soon as possible. The little emperor has been away from him for a long time, and Li Ru is no longer with the emperor. It is enough for the surviving veterans to make some moves. So Dong The thieves can't leave a large number of troops to fight with us here slowly, so there are only a few places we need to pay attention to."

"Cao, I'd like to hear the details." Although Cao Cao was speechless at Sun Jian's sudden appearance of sinister attributes, Cao Cao also agreed with Sun Jian's analysis of the situation. The opponent was indeed a famous emerging general of the Han Dynasty. He had a good grasp of the battlefield situation. He has a considerable standard. If time passes, I am afraid that his achievements will be higher than that of the cavalry general from Kuaiji.

Of course. What would Cao Cao think if he knew Zhu Jun was in Sun Jian's army now?

I wonder if I would choose such a cool action as turning over the table to express my excitement at the moment.

Ahem, I always felt that the image of Cao Cao and Jiang Qian, two children looking at each other in silence and tears, suddenly appeared in my mind.

"When you leave Hangu Pass, which is the first of the eight passes in Luoyang, you have officially entered Hongnong County. Although Hangu Pass is the most powerful pass in the world, since Emperor Guangwu made Luoyang the capital, the main role of this pass is to protect Luoyang is protected from attacks from the west, so after many years of repairs, it is mainly to strengthen the defense against attacks from the west. On the contrary, if the enemy comes from the direction of Luoyang, it is relatively easy to succeed. It can be said that this is the place where Dong thieves are least likely to guard. place, because choosing this place is a complete waste of troops.

After passing Hangu Pass and going upstream along the valley water, you will find Xin'an and Mianchi. The terrain near the former is quite open, so ambush or blocking is not a good option. Instead, the Mianchi area is the first place we need to pay attention to.

The Mianchi area is not only the boundary between the East and West Xiaoshan Mountains, but there is also a place that requires great vigilance. It was once called the Guodiguan. I believe Jian Buyuyan and Mengde have also heard of the steepness of the East and West Xiaoshan Mountains.

, and even more so in the Guidi area.

A passage at the bottom of the Guadi Valley is of great significance. Meng De is far better than me in knowledge. He should have heard the story of Feng Gongsun, one of the "Twenty-Eight Generals of Yuntai", who led his troops to defeat the Red Eyebrow Army in the Guidi area.

, this shows how steep the terrain here is.”

Looking at Sun Jian, who was talking eloquently and with a confident look on his face, Cao Cao had to admit that the man in front of him did have considerable military skills. Although he passed by Hongnong several times due to military needs, he probably didn't have time to savor it carefully.

He was still able to speak in quite detail, obviously because he paid more attention when passing by, and he may even have done a lot of deductions in his mind.

If such a guy who is obsessed with fighting can't succeed in this kind of thing, then everyone else should just go to sleep.

Although Cao Cao believed that his talent was definitely not inferior to that of his opponent, he was afraid that he could not put in as much energy as his opponent.

After all, for a long time before, Cao Cao's main goal was to live more comfortably in the bureaucracy and have greater room for improvement. Even if his goal was "the tomb of the old general of the Han Dynasty who conquered the west", there are more

Time is still spent on books, especially literature and history books represented by the Four Books and Five Classics, rather than war books.

"Indeed, Cao Cao has read records about this battle many times in the books of the sages. Although the offensive and defensive momentum today is not the same as that of the past, the danger of Guodi should be the same as before. Regardless of whether the Dong thief relies on Guodi

If you are in danger of blocking our army, why don't you let us go?

After that, we will block our return route with a partial division and position the army to the west of Guodi. At that time, it will be a very unfavorable situation for our army. Even if we are really unfortunate enough to be defeated, we may have to consider overcoming the

Huang He went to see Li Xue to discuss surrender."

"Mengde doesn't need to be so pessimistic. Even if Xiliang's soldiers are strong, our elite soldiers are not weak either. It will take a lot of effort for Thief Dong to destroy us. It's hard to say that in the end, Thief Dong won't be able to support him first. Moreover,

If we can greatly reduce the strength of the Dong thieves here, Chang'an will surely respond immediately to our Kwantung Allied Forces. By then we will be able to return power to Your Majesty."

Hearing Sun Jian's words, although Cao Cao said so, he labeled Sun Jian as "low political ability" in his heart. Although he was not sure whether this was really the true face of the other party, Cao Cao still slightly reserved it.

But he knew very well that Yuan Shao failed to recommend Liu Yu and began to change his target to Liu Yan. He knew very well that the emperor would not have a good life even if he was rescued.

By that time, whether it is the older generation in the DPRK who are still alive, the younger generation who relied on the Kwantung Allied Forces, or even the generation like Tao Qian who straddles the older generation and the Kwantung princes, everyone will definitely have another fight.

Fight for.

Anyway, no matter what the outcome is, the chaos in the Han Dynasty is inevitable. The only difference may be whether the ultimate beneficiaries are the wealthy families who have gone crazy hoping for the highest power, or some emerging forces that have risen through the troubled times.

Of course, no matter which force gained power, Cao Cao believed that he would be able to occupy a high enough position with his own abilities.

Because he and his family have made a lot of arrangements before. Now these arrangements have slowly begun to take effect.

"So what else is worth noting after Guidi?" Cao Cao said that he was very shameless in asking questions.

"The second place you need to be careful about after passing Guodi is the Shaanxi County area in the west of Guodi. It is said that the word 'Shaan' in Shaanxi County originally meant a pass. It represents a dangerous place that is difficult to pass. This shows that Shaanxi

The topography of the county

It is a dangerous place. It is also surrounded by the steep mountains of Xiaoshan Mountain, and is close to the most turbulent section of the Yellow River to the north. Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a saying of "according to the elbow and armpit of the Guanhe River, and the key points of the four directions", and this place is called "Shaanxi".

'For the name."

"I have an impression of this place. It is said that when King Zhou Cheng was king, the virtuous ministers Zhou Gongdan and Zhao Gongxi divided and ruled in Shaanxi County and jointly assisted King Zhou Cheng. The first feudal land that Zhao Gongxi obtained was here.

The place west of Shaanxi County."

"As expected of Meng De, everyone knows such things. I, Sun Jian, can never compare with Meng De in this aspect." Sun Jian complimented Cao Cao. Of course, what he said was not wrong at all. After all, Sun Jian's knowledge is probably also

He is better than Li Shushi. It is really difficult to judge who is stronger and who is weaker between Dong Zhuo. I can only say that it is a matter of half a pound to half a pound.

"After passing Shaanxian County, you will find Hongnong, the seat of Hongnong County. The terrain there is quite open, but because there is a large Zhushui River and dense mountains and forests on both sides, it is also a very suitable place for ambush.

In addition, the city of Hongnong City

Although the wall is a little older, we traveled lightly without any siege equipment. Even if we did, we would not be trapped under the city. If the enemy takes our retreat, the situation in the Guodi area will be similar.

For similarity.”

After saying this, Sun Jian finally showed a slightly depressed expression, which made Cao Cao's eyes twitch.

"After that, there was Hangu Pass built by our ancestors. Although it has long been abandoned, the road west of Hangu Pass is not easy to walk, so it would be very troublesome for Dong's thieves to leave an army and horses there. Later, Tongguan Pass was built.

It's a natural hazard. As long as Thief Dong leaves tens of thousands of people behind in Tongguan, we won't have the slightest chance. We can only escape from the river.

Dongpubanjin bypasses Xiongguan and enters Sanfu. But after entering Hedong, do we still have a chance to reach Puban... Although I, Sun Jian, can be considered an arrogant person, Li Shu is not a mediocre person. Even if he has already traveled westward, what he left behind

Strength cannot be underestimated. I’m afraid Meng De should understand this better than Jian.”

"Most of the soldiers under my command, Cao Zixiao, Xia Houyuan, and Xia Hou Miaocai, have followed Li Shushi, but they are not the most elite troops under Li Shushi's command. Let's not mention anything else. This military training alone,

I admire you very much. It’s just..."

"It's just that since I said this journey is so difficult, why do I need to go after the Dong thief together with Cao Gong?"

Hearing this sentence, Cao Cao secretly crossed out the "low political ability" comment he just made about Sun Jian in his heart. Obviously, with just one sentence, he knew that what Sun Jian said before was just an excuse, and his mind was not actually

stupid.

Although we cannot say how high his political wisdom is, we must not underestimate him anymore.

"Haha." Seeing Cao Cao's nonchalant look, Sun Jian was not annoyed. Instead, he sneered first. "You and I probably have the same ideas, but we just want to show our determination to the world. Meng

You can still rely on your family

With your power, not to mention that you can do a good job yourself, even if there is no such chaotic world, it is more likely than the prefect or even the nine ministers of two thousand stones. If you are more lucky, you may be able to get the title of the third prince before you become an official.

Glory. But

What about me? Apart from leading troops to fight, I have no other commendable abilities. My Changsha governor and Wuchenghou were both obtained easily because of the eunuchs who disrupted the government and had to put down the rebellion. They are not like Li Xue.

Little ghost head, leaning on Tonglao

After a lot of busy work, he is now the state pastor of a state. Even though he has repeatedly repelled Xianbei's southern invasion and killed Xianbei's Chanyu, I am still envious, even jealous. Because if I were put in his position, I would also

He must be no worse than him!"

"What is Wentai planning to say to Cao?"

"Neither of us is a good thing in the eyes of those high-ranking officials. When I was in Changsha, I had enough of those governors and prefects who despised, ridiculed, and cursed me. I believe you, Mengde, have also experienced similar experiences.

experience. Therefore, this battle is our best opportunity. We must win brilliantly! Even if we cannot catch that bastard Dong Thief, we must

Prove to the world that we are the true loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty! Rather than those guys who always put themselves and their family first! Only we. Only us will commit such a heinous crime against the Dong thief.

Dare to stand up when you are guilty, dare to stand up and rush forward with the belief that you will die, dare to challenge the object that those cowards are afraid of!"

It seems that Sun Jian was greatly discriminated against among the coalition forces.

Cao Cao looked at Sun Jian's angry look and thought silently in his heart. But soon his face showed a bitter look, because he knew very well that he was no better than Sun Jian. He was always known as the "Queen of Vertical Eunuchs"

It accompanies his official career.

This title has brought him help in the past, but most of the time it has been a huge trouble, causing him to repeatedly hit the wall when reaching the level he expected. Although it seems to be only a transparent and thin layer.

"Cao just wanted to do his best to help the big man, but he didn't think of so many things."

"It doesn't matter. I, Sun Jian, have always been outspoken. I have no choice but to say something that you, the children of aristocratic families, always like to say in a convoluted way. Anyway, it's enough that you know that we have similar goals. Meng De will do the rest."

Let's stop complaining for a while."

"It would be a great thing to be able to get drunk together with Wen Tai."

"Of course it's great. It would be even better if Li Xue could give us some thyme."
