To be honest, Chu Yi really couldn't do such a thing to exchange a strong general like Huang Zhong for Yuan Shao's life. He was just a mere Yuan Shao. Even if Yuan Shao would not gradually become arrogant under his influence in this life,
Big and indecisive, Chu Yi would not take it to heart.
Around evening, under the leadership of Xu Huang, Yan Xing and others, tens of thousands of troops came in force and slowly entered Hulao Pass.
Tens of thousands of troops garrisoned Hulao Pass, which immediately made Hulao Pass extremely enriched. As the gateway to Luoyang, Hulao Pass does not usually have many troops stationed there, but this does not mean that Hulao Pass has been repaired.
It's not big enough. As for accommodating tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, there is no problem.
In front of such a majestic pass in the world, there are tens of thousands of troops stationed there, but I don't know how many troops and horses the coalition of princes must put up in front of this majestic pass to be able to break through it.
Here, the imperial soldiers and horses are stationed in Hulao Pass, and there are many flags and flags. The Hulao Gate is guarded like a watertight one. In Dingyuan far below the city, in Yuan Shao's military camp, such a big movement cannot be hidden from the eyes of Hulao Pass.
Ding Yuan, Yuan Shao and others are moving.
Tens of thousands of troops were stationed in the city. When Ding Yuan and Yuan Shao saw such a huge movement, they only looked at Hulao Pass in front of them, and felt a bit bitter in their hearts.
If they had had the opportunity to occupy Hulao Pass before, they wouldn't have to look at the city wall and sigh. They just didn't know how many people would be killed or injured in front of this majestic pass.
Faced with the provocation of the imperial troops, Ding Yuan and Yuan Shao made up their minds and seemed to be avoiding war. No matter how provocative the imperial court was, they called for war in front of the formation, but they ignored it and just stood firm in the camp.
Military defense.
Facing the reactions of Ding Yuan and Yuan Shao, Chu Yi did not attack the opponent's camp. After all, the troops under Ding Yuan and Yuan Shao were not just a mob. They could definitely be regarded as the elite among the elite. In addition, there were
With the hard drive as a basis, if we really attack hard, we will probably suffer huge losses.
Although he clearly had such a majestic pass as Hulao Pass in his hands, Chu Yi never thought about fighting the opponent on the plain below the city. Of course, he still had to do the provocation. At least he could attack Ding Yuan and Yuan Shao's troops.
Horse morale.
On this day, Taishi Ci, who was patrolling on the city wall, suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked into the distance with a gleaming light.
Looking from a distance from the city wall, you can see a cloud of smoke and dust coming from the city, and there are many flags standing there. It is obvious that a troop of soldiers and horses are rushing towards Hulao Pass.
It was just a blink of an eye. As the army of soldiers and horses approached, Taishi Ci looked at the eye-catching banner with the word "王" and was sure that the person coming was the right one.
It is Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi County.
Several princes closest to Hulao Pass responded to Yuan Shao's call, such as Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi County, Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu County, Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang County, and Kong Min, the governor of Yuzhou.
Now if we count the time and look at the name on the big flag, I am afraid that the person coming is Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi County.
Taking a deep breath and instructing his lieutenants to guard the city, Taishi Ci immediately turned around and climbed down the city wall and headed straight for the general's palace in the city.
Chu Yi and others naturally settled in the General's Mansion, and a group of generals took turns patrolling the city wall. The rest of the people mostly stayed in the General's Mansion, waiting for Chu Yi's dispatch at any time.
When Taishi Ci walked into the general's mansion, Xu Huang, Gao Lan and others couldn't help but froze for a moment when they saw Taishi Ci. Xu Huang strode forward and said with a bit of surprise: "Ziyi, it seems that you are the one to do it today."
Inspection, how about..."
Taishi Ci cupped his hands towards Xu Huang and said, "General Xu, I have some military information to report to the Marquis."
After hearing what Tai Shi Ci said, Xu Huang and Gao Lan immediately looked serious and said, "In that case, Ziyi, go quickly, don't delay the military situation."
Soon Taishi Ci saw Chu Yi in the hall. In addition to Chu Yi, there were also several generals and several scribes.
Taishi Ci walked into the hall, bowed to Chu Yi, and said solemnly: "I would like to report to you, the last general has just been inspecting, and the traitor Wang Kuangzheng has arrived with his army."
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this. You must know that Yuan Shao ascended and waved, and there were not a few people in the world who responded. More than a dozen princes raised troops to attack Chu Yi. The momentum was huge, and Chu Yi's side naturally responded to these.
The princes from all walks of life summoned by Yuan Shao are no strangers.
Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi County, is one of them. This person is the governor of Hanoi County. It is quite close to Hulao Pass. It is reasonable for him to lead his army in just a few days.
The corners of Chu Yi's lips curled up slightly and he said: "It turns out that Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi County, has arrived. In that case, please follow Chu to have a look."
Chu Yi still had some impression of Wang Kuang. If he hadn't recruited Fang Yue first, then Fang Yue would have become Wang Kuang's subordinate, if he hadn't recruited Fang Yue as the prefect of Hanoi County.
In the original history, Wang Kuang led his army to fight against Dong, and his famous general Fang Yue was defeated by Lu Bu and was beheaded. He was also resented by his relatives for beheading his brother-in-law Hu Muban, and secretly joined forces with Cao Cao to frame Wang Kuang.
Chu Yi was very curious. This time he recruited Fang Yue first, and whether Wang Kuang had any capable generals.
Although Fang Yue's cultivation was not considered a first-rate general, he was still considered a second-rate general. It was only because the opponent he encountered was Lu Bu that he became the background for Lu Bu's fame.
But it is undeniable that if placed in the local army, Fang Yue's ability is not bad. At least in the first army, there is no problem in serving as a general. Otherwise, there would be no Hanoi famous general Fang Yue.
spread.
On the high city wall, Chu Yi and others looked from a distance and saw almost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses slowly approaching between the billowing smoke and dust.
The news of Wang Kuang's arrival had naturally been known to Yuan Shao and Ding Yuan for a long time. Both Ding Yuan and Yuan Shao naturally valued Wang Kuang who was the first to respond to their call and personally led their troops out of the camp to greet him.
Wang Kuang was very happy when he saw Yuan Shao and Ding Yuan coming out to greet him. He dismounted and raised his hands to Yuan Shao and said: "A certain prime minister has come to greet Benchu's call. He is willing to help Benchu fight against the Chu thieves and save the emperor from fire and water."
Just by watching Wang Kuang first greet Yuan Shao and then greet Ding Yuan, we can see that in Wang Kuang's eyes, Yuan Shao's status in the upcoming coalition of princes is much higher than that of Ding Yuan.
Although he noticed Wang Kuang's actions, Ding Yuan didn't think too much about it. He also didn't think about fighting with Yuan Shao. Moreover, Ding Yuan knew very well that he or the family behind him was inferior to the Yuan family.
There are too many. Yuan Shao's words here almost represent the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the three princes. So what kind of influence the Yuan family, whose students and former officials are all over the world, has on the officials of the world, Ding Yuan, who has been in the officialdom for a long time, knows very well.
Not to mention other things, just like Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, who was regarded as the governor of a state, he also regarded himself as an old official of the Yuan family. This shows the influence of the Yuan family.
Yuan Shao strode forward, took Wang Kuang's arm and said, "It is a great blessing for the world that Prefect Wang can respond to the great cause of justice!"
While speaking, Wang Kuang pointed to the soldiers and horses behind him and said: "Wang came in a hurry and only had time to recruit tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. If necessary, Wang could send people back to recruit again."
Although the people led by Wang Kuang are not elites like Bingzhou Jingqi and Xiliang Jingqi, they are still a bit stronger than the militia. After all, they are tens of thousands of people. It looks like a huge crowd, at least
Not weak in terms of momentum.
Yuan Shao laughed loudly and said: "With your help, why worry about the Chu thieves not being wiped out!"
Wang Kuang's soldiers and horses were encamped near Ding Yuan and Yuan Shao's camps.
On the city wall, Wang Kuang's soldiers and horses, together with Ding Yuan's and Yuan Shao's troops, were seen from a distance coming together. All the generals looking at this scene had a look of disdain on their faces.
Not many people could take notice of Lu Bu's temperament. He had seen Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo's men before, and they were definitely elites, so Lu Bu didn't look down upon him.
However, these men and horses under Wang Kuang are nothing. Compared with the elites under Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, they are just peasants with weapons. It would be strange if they could catch Lu Bu's eyes.
I heard Lu Bu say with disdain: "It's just a bunch of rabble, give Lv a thousand people, Lv can kill all of Wang Kuang's men."
It's not that Lu Bu underestimated Wang Kuang's men and horses, but these soldiers and horses really couldn't be put on the stage. They were just a group of farmers who were recruited urgently. How much fighting power could they have.
If it were a group of conscripted rangers and good men, they might still have some strength, but a group of farmers might not even be able to form a fighting force without going through a few fights.
After hearing Lu Bu's disdainful comments, the others did not object. Instead, they all took it for granted.
Xu Huang even smiled slightly and said: "If these princes who responded to Yuan Shao are like Wang Kuang's subordinates, we have already secured the final victory in this battle."
It can be seen that everyone is quite optimistic. On the one hand, the coalition of princes is too weak, and on the other hand, they are confident in their own strength.
However, Cao Cao had a serious look on his face and was not as optimistic as other generals like Lu Bu and Xu Huang.
After all, Cao Cao came from a good family and could be said to be a son of an aristocratic family. Compared with the backgrounds of generals like Lu Bu and Xu Huang, they were much stronger innately. At least because of their status, Cao Cao's understanding of these local princes was far better than Lu Bu's.
Xu Huang and other generals.
Not only Cao Cao, there was also a scribe next to him who was dressed in Tsing Yi and looked about thirty years old. He was just standing in the crowd, as if he was huddled in a corner consciously, giving the impression that he didn't have much presence.
However, Chu Yi glanced at everyone, and finally looked at Cao Cao and the Tsing Yi scribe. He seemed to have noticed the Tsing Yi scribe's low profile, and Chu Yi couldn't help but smile a little.
Even Chu Yi didn't expect that among the many Xiliang soldiers captured in the previous campaign, there was such a great talent hidden among them.
When it comes to Li Ru, everyone in the Xiliang army knows it. But when it comes to Jia Xu, to be honest, in the Xiliang army, Jia Xu is really low-key and doesn't have much sense of presence.
.
But this person is low-key and low-key, but in terms of ability, he is probably a bit better than Li Rulai. It's just that this person is too good at hiding and self-protection. Even under Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu is also
Not many people know.
In Chu Yi's opinion, Jia Xu was so good at protecting himself, and given the situation of the Xiliang army at that time, Jia Xu must have fled early.
As the saying goes, when a man stumbles, a horse will stumble. Even Jia Xu never dreamed that Dong Zhuo would die so suddenly. He had almost no preparation, and his army collapsed.
As a scribe, although Jia Xu himself is not bad in ability, among the rebellious army, if he does not want to be killed by the pursuing soldiers, it is best not to run around like a headless fly, because then he will die.
will be faster.
Relying on his long-term ability to save his life, Jia Xu mingled among the surrendered soldiers, and most of the Xiliang soldiers chose to surrender.
Although Jia Xu is low-key enough in the Xiliang army, he is still an official under Dong Zhuo after all. There are still many people who know Jia Xu, but few of these people know Jia Xu's abilities.
Under normal circumstances, there would be no problem for Jia Xu to hide his identity in the army, but Chu Yi offered a reward, which directly made it impossible for Dong Zhuo's middle- and low-level generals and officials who had the same intention as Jia Xu to hide their identities.
If you report a general, the officials will directly reward you with ten golds. You can imagine what kind of temptation this has for the soldiers of Xiliang who were born in the bitter cold land of Xiliang.
Just like that, Jia Xu's identity was exposed in front of Chu Yi. Faced with Jia Xu's strategy and military prodigy, it would be strange if Chu Yi was not interested and directly recruited him as his official with a piece of paper.
