Seeing Guan Yu taking the lead in holding a shield above his head, holding a knife in his mouth, and quickly climbing towards the wall of Sishui Pass, everyone present couldn't help but have deep admiration for Guan Yu.
In today's situation, this really requires a lot of courage!
However, it didn't take long before they began to envy Guan Yu's luck.
Because Guan Yu never encountered any attack until he climbed to the wall of Sishui Pass, and the wall of Sishui Pass remained silent.
The credit for ascending first fell to Guan Yu.
After a while, the heavy door of Sishui Pass, which had been tightly closed, was opened from the inside.
Guan Yu, who had a red face and a short beard, led a few soldiers and stood at the city gate, waving to Liu Bei and others.
Liu Bei, who had always been on tenterhooks, couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he saw this!!
He did not immediately lead his troops to the open Sishui Pass, but quickly came to Bao Xin's side and invited Bao Xin, Gongsun Yue, Wei Zi and others to go together.
Bao Xin and others, who were lamenting the good fortune of Guan Yu and Liu Bei, were delighted to hear the words...
When they arrived at Sishui Pass, everyone discovered that Sishui Pass, where many soldiers and horses were stationed in the past, was completely empty. Many soldiers and horses had left without knowing when...
Bao Xin, Liu Bei and others walked around Sishui Pass for a while and looked at the traces of the camp left by Liu Cheng's troops after they left.
Very orderly and organized.
"This traitor Liu Cheng really has a good way of using troops!"
Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei Province, spoke with emotion.
Wei Zi, Liu Bei, Gongsun Yue, and Zhao Yun, who was riding a white horse and carrying a spear beside Gongsun Yue, did not say anything to refute.
No matter how much they disagree with the traitor Liu Cheng, they all have to admit that the traitor Liu Cheng is indeed very good at using troops.
"The thief Liu Cheng abandoned the pass and ran away. There is no Si River pass to block him. It is a good time to pursue him! Gentlemen! Please come with me to chase the thief!
Let the world know that I still have a good man!"
Bao Xin opened his mouth and said to Liu Bei, Gongsun Yue and others.
These people themselves were preparing to pursue Dong Zhuo and others.
At this time, when they heard Bao Xin shouting like this, they naturally followed him one after another.
Liu Bei, who had the lowest status and was the first to take the initiative to contact everyone to send troops to pursue Dong Zhuo, led Guan Zhang and his two thousand soldiers and horses as the vanguard and walked at the forefront.
At this time, Liu Bei's qualifications, popularity, and strength were far from enough, so he could only fight hard to get things.
Among the people present, he is the most suitable to be the vanguard.
Then came Wei Zi, then Bao Xin's headquarters, and finally Gongsun Yue.
The army crossed Sishui Pass and headed west.
On the way, Liu Bei and others met some indigenous people living here, and learned from their mouths that troops and horses had been mobilizing troops and horses to the west at Sishui Pass a few days ago.
Yesterday, there were no soldiers and horses here at Sishui Pass. The only ones stationed in the entire Sishui Pass were the three hundred soldiers on the wall of Sishui Pass.
After learning the news, Liu Bei, Bao Xin and others couldn't help but feel regretful.
If they had followed Wei Zi's suggestion and attacked Sishui Pass yesterday, they would have been able to break Sishui Pass yesterday!
While capturing and killing some of Liu Cheng's troops, you can also capture most of Liu Cheng's troops and achieve greater results!
While feeling regretful, everyone was more alert and secretly admired Liu Cheng's use of troops...
Liu, Guan, and Zhang led their soldiers and horses in a hurry all the way to the front. At the same time, they sent sentries far away to investigate the situation. Along the way, they did not see half of Liu Cheng's soldiers or horses.
This situation made Liu Bei and others even more convinced that Dong Zhuo was really determined to move the capital from Luoyang.
And Liu Cheng, who was guarding Sishui Pass, really wanted to retreat westward quickly.
If this were not the case, he would not have been able to retreat so simply.
While they were confident, this kind of calmness without encountering an enemy also made Liu Bei and the others feel a little uneasy...
This uneasiness reached its peak when we arrived at Hulao Pass.
Hulao Pass, which is as famous as Sishui Pass, has a thick and strong door that is also tightly closed. There is no one on the wall, not even half a person is seen.
You can tell with your eyes that Hulao Pass, like Bishui Pass, has been completely abandoned.
"Brother, I am willing to lead three hundred soldiers and horses to climb Hulao Pass, enter inside, and open the door!"
Zhang Fei took one look at the deserted Hulao Pass and immediately asked Liu Bei for orders.
Liu Bei did not answer Zhang Fei's words, and stood here, staring at Hulao Pass from a distance.
After a while, he shook his head at Zhang Fei and said, "Third brother, don't be so impatient. I always feel that this matter is not that simple. The Hulao Pass is so peaceful that it makes people feel uneasy. Please wait for a while."
Say it again."
Zhang Fei seemed a little anxious: "My brother, what I said is a bit wrong. I think Hulao Pass is no different from Sishui Pass. They are both empty and there are no soldiers to guard them. But my second brother can lead the troops to climb Sishui Pass."
, I can’t lead some soldiers to climb Hulao Pass?
I don’t need 300 soldiers, I only need 100 soldiers, and I don’t need my brother to lead troops and horses to suppress the formation at the pass..."
Zhang Fei's gradually rising voice quickly dropped and disappeared without a trace, because Liu Bei frowned at him.
"Third brother, what are your abilities? As a brother, I know best. There is no need for you to fight over this matter. Let's wait and see..."
Liu Bei said with some seriousness.
"But, what's the use of waiting like this?
No one has climbed up, how can we know the reality inside?
Can you open this Hulao Gate?"
Zhang Fei said aloud, with some confusion.
Liu Bei smiled and said: "It's all up to me. You will know after a while..."
Liu Bei did not keep Zhang Fei waiting for too long.
“Isn’t Hulao Pass already empty?
Why didn't Xuande send someone to climb up and open the door?"
Later, Wei Zi led his troops and rushed up. After seeing the situation in front of him, he spoke out.
"This thief Liu Cheng has many tricks with his troops. I am afraid that this is another of his tricks. I am hesitant and unable to make a decision. I want to wait for the princes to gather together and discuss it before making a decision."
Liu Bei looked confused and said.
Wei Zi said with a smile: "Xuan De is too cautious. This thief Liu Cheng only cares about running away, how can he have so much thought about anything else?
There is no need to wait until the Prime Minister of Jibei and others come to discuss it, as this would waste too much time.
Now is the critical period for chasing the enemy, and we absolutely cannot waste time like this.
I have a general under my command who is good at climbing, so why not send him to lead some soldiers and horses to climb Hulao Pass to see what the situation is like when someone falls to the ground inside.
What does Xuande think?"
Liu Bei naturally looked hesitant and shook his head.
As a result, the more Liu Bei behaved like this, the more Wei Zi wanted to send his men to climb Hulao Pass.
In fact, when he was captured, Guan Yu climbed up to Sishui Pass without encountering any danger. He was the first to climb up, which made him jealous.
Moreover, considering Guan Yu's example, he didn't think Hulao Pass would be so special.
The matter was settled due to Wei Zi's strong request and Liu Bei's half push. One of Wei Zi's generals soon led some soldiers and horses to climb Hulao Pass...
