Huayin is roughly located halfway between Mianchi and Chang'an, and is the gateway to Chang'an from the east.
After passing Huayin and heading west, we entered the territory of Chang'an.
Passing through Zheng County, Xinfeng, and Lantian, you can reach Chang'an.
It is not unreasonable for Huayin to be called the eastern gateway of Chang'an and the only way to Chang'an from the west.
Just talking about Huayin, it is not easy to understand its importance, but if we talk about Tongguan, many people can immediately understand how dangerous and important it is.
Tongguan is right here in Huayin.
Lu Bu, who was ordered to bring troops and horses to form the second line of defense, was here in Huayin, so naturally he would not give up Tongguan, a famous and dangerous place.
The main place for his defense was at Tongguan.
As long as Tongguan is defended, the enemy should not think about being able to enter Chang'an through Huayin.
However, Tongguan at this time was in disrepair and looked much dilapidated.
But even so, it still cannot change its extremely important strategic position.
Lu Bu, who was stationed here, after arranging troops and horses to garrison, also began to carry out certain repairs on Tongguan.
Lu Bu, who was stationed here with his army, encountered for the first time that the soldiers and horses coming from the east were not enemy troops, but Liu Cheng, Liu Huangshu, the general of Zhendong Zhonglang.
Originally, Lu Bu, who had been notified that he had seen cavalry charging towards here from a distance, immediately climbed up the Tongguan Pass wall in person holding his Fang Tian Hua Ji and carrying his big bow.
During this time, he did not fight much.
I also heard that Liu Cheng, who was at the rear of the palace, had a fierce fight with those bastards from Guandong, beating the shit out of those bastards, and made many military exploits by the way...
This kind of news stimulated Lu Bu even more, making him particularly eager to encounter a battle, show his true strength, make some achievements, and relieve his depression.
Therefore, after hearing the report, he was very excited.
However, not long after he climbed the Tongguan Wall, the expectations and excitement in his heart came to an abrupt end.
Because the distance was close at this time, he could already identify the person's identity.
This person was not an enemy soldier whom he wanted to vent his anger on, but he was Liu Cheng and Liu Kede, a person he really didn't want to see!
These days, Lu Bu carefully thought about what he had experienced during this period, and found that everything was not going well for him. It started when Liu Kede came to Luoyang to meet his adoptive father, carrying Cao Mengde's head.
of.
In the past, Lu Bu valued his status as the adopted son of the current Prime Minister and cherished it very much. He was afraid that his adopted father would accept another adopted son to compete for his favor.
But now, after Liu Cheng and Liu Kede got engaged to his adoptive father's granddaughter and became his adoptive father's grandson-in-law, Lu Bu suddenly felt uncomfortable when faced with his identity as Dong Zhuo's adopted son who he cherished in the past.
It's tasteless...
Thinking about these things in his heart, Lu Bu felt even more uncomfortable.
"Who is coming?!
Why did you come here with your troops and horses?!"
Liu Cheng's flag was waving like this, and people came to Tongguan. Even if they didn't look at the flag, but just looked at his face, many people in Tongguan had already recognized Liu Cheng.
But Lu Bu, who had eaten and drank with Liu Cheng at Liu Cheng and Dong Bai's engagement banquet, seemed to be blind and didn't see any of this at all. He looked down at Tongguan.
He asked in a deep voice.
Liu Cheng rode up on horseback. When he heard this, the smile that had risen on his face suddenly disappeared and his face became expressionless.
He is not a fool, so he can naturally see that Lu Bu clearly wants to embarrass himself and give him power!
Under such circumstances, he would naturally not stick to Lu Bu's cold ass with his smiling face!
Ever since he had a face-to-face fight with Lu Bu and found that the other party had nothing to do with him, Liu Chenggong no longer bullied him at all.
Not to mention, he is not coming alone now. In addition to hundreds of elite cavalry, there is also Zhao Zilong, a white horse and silver spear with extremely high combat effectiveness!
It can be said that Liu Cheng is now confident!
"The person coming is Zhendong Zhonglang General, Chenggaoting Marquis Liu Chengliu Kede! After King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Xiaojing! The emperor personally recognizes him as his uncle!"
Liu Cheng raised his voice and reported to Lu Bu who was behind closed doors.
When Lu Bu saw that Liu Cheng actually followed his request and answered seriously here, he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.
At the same time, he was also prepared to say "After all, he is just a pig-killer" as soon as Liu Cheng finished speaking, to stimulate Liu Cheng. When he saw Liu Cheng, who had always been expressionless,
A rich smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel that something was not good.
Sure enough, the next moment I heard Liu Chengna say in a louder voice - "The only son-in-law who has been personally decided by the Prime Minister today!"
Liu Cheng naturally knows what Lu Bu cares about most. If the other party doesn't give him pleasure at this time, then he will naturally not give Lu Bu pleasure!
Liu Cheng's thought was indeed correct. His words directly pierced Lu Bu's heart, making Lu Bu's temples beat violently!
All the pride that had just arisen in my heart completely disappeared.
The words I planned to use to stimulate Liu Cheng were all forgotten by the excitement!
Zhao Yun, who was riding a horse and standing beside Liu Cheng with a gun, actually felt pity when he saw Lu Bu above Tongguan who was choked by Liu Cheng's words and couldn't say a word for a long time.
This guy above Tongguan is really hard to think about!
In front of the Sishui Pass, a man yelled at the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Sishui Pass. Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, who did not dare to talk to each other, were so angry that they jumped up in anger within a few rounds after meeting the emperor's uncle.
If you don't have the right words to scold you, you will end up feeling aggrieved and angry and going home.
This guy actually wants to show off his power of speech in front of the emperor's uncle. Isn't this someone who came to his door to scold him?
For a moment, Zhao Yun wanted to cover his ears and close his eyes, unable to bear to watch anymore...
Above Tongguan, Lu Bu was choked by Liu Cheng's words for a long time, and then he finally breathed a sigh of relief. A wonderful idea suddenly appeared in his heart. After this idea appeared in his mind, he suddenly
Feeling refreshed and full of confidence.
"Who were you, Dong Xiangguo, at that time?"
He looked at Liu Cheng and asked loudly.
Just listening to his question, Liu Chenggong already knew what the old boy Lu Bu was thinking!
