Chu Yi smiled calmly and said: "It seems that you, like Yuan Benchu, think that the king is joking."
Huang Zhong and others didn't dare to say anything after hearing this.
Chu Yi's expression became serious, and his eyes flashed with a cold and stern look as he said: "I have always been true to my words. If I say that I will take Hangu Pass in three days, I will not take more than one day!"
Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Lu Su and others all frowned. Really, they couldn't think of any way to break through Hangu Pass in three days.
Just looking at the high city wall and the hundreds of thousands of troops in the city, we know that this pass is simply an unbreakable pass. Unless Yuan Shao takes the initiative to offer the city, otherwise, even if hundreds of thousands of people fill in front of this pass
Even the lives of the soldiers may not be able to capture Hangu Pass.
It was precisely because they knew this that everyone expressed curiosity and doubts about how Chu Yi could break through Hangu Pass in three days, because they really couldn't think of any way to do this.
Chu Yi, however, had a calm look on his face, with a slight smile on his lips and said, "Everyone will know when the time comes."
Seeing Chu Yi's betrayal, everyone could only endure it no matter how curious they were. Do they still want to force Chu Yi to tell them what method to use?
In Hangu Pass, watching Chu Yi and others retreat, on the city wall, Yuan Shao said with a look of disdain: "Did you all hear this? Chu thieves actually made arrogant claims that they would conquer Hangu within three days.
Guan, how arrogant this is, he basically treats us as dead people, can everyone bear this breath?"
As one of the princes, Gongsun Zan had a more violent temper. If he hadn't been concerned about Yuan Shao's identity, he would have cursed him. Now when he heard what Yuan Shao said, he immediately cursed: "The Chu thief is really hateful. Since he is so arrogant and ignorant, then
We want him to know that some things cannot be accomplished with words alone."
Gongsun Zan raised his hands and said to Yuan Shao: "General, a certain family is willing to lead a large army to attack the Chu bandits' camp at night, even if it means giving the Chu bandits a disgrace."
Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, but there was a bit of worry on his face as he said: "Although Chu Yi is arrogant, I don't think he has even the slightest precaution. If General Gongsun goes for a night attack, I'm afraid there will be no results.
"
Gongsun Zan snorted coldly and said: "So what if we are on guard, we just want to teach the Chu thieves a lesson so that they know that we are not just going to huddle in the city and let them attack the city."
Yuan Shao's eyes lit up and he said immediately: "Okay, this matter is settled. General Gongsun will lead the army to attack the Chu bandits at night. I want to take a look. His soldiers are not allowed to rest until daylight."
There is no energy left to attack the city."
As night fell, the closed gate of Hangu Pass slowly opened, and a group of people came out of the pass. It was the white horse Yi Cong led by Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan now has many times more troops than before. With nearly 30,000 troops, he is definitely among the best among the princes in terms of strength.
At this moment, Gongsun Zan was riding on a war horse, followed by a white-robed young general. It was Zhao Yun who showed his skills in the army and was valued by Gongsun Zan, so he took him as his arm.
At this moment, Zhao Yun followed Gongsun Zan, looking at the sporadic firelight ahead, with a dignified look in his eyes and whispered to Gongsun Zan: "General, it is absolutely impossible for Chu Yi's army to be unprepared. We went there so rashly.
I'm just afraid that it will fulfill the other party's wishes."
Gongsun Zan was naturally aware of this matter. He chuckled when he heard this and said: "I, the general, naturally know what Zilong said, but what if he is on guard? I, the general, have no intention of actually entering his army."
Hearing what Gongsun Zan said, Zhao Yun showed a bit of astonishment on his face. Since it was an attack on the camp, how could he attack the camp when Gongsun Zan actually told him that he was not planning to enter the camp?
A gleam flashed in Gongsun Zan's eyes, and he looked at Zhao Yun and said: "Zilong, do you think which side has a higher chance of winning in this battle between the two armies?"
Zhao Yun looked at Gongsun Zan with some confusion. Apparently Zhao Yun did not expect that Gongsun Zan, who was a prince and was very influential in the coalition of princes, would ask such a question.
Zhao Yun is not stupid. Gongsun Zan asked this question, which obviously shows that Gongsun Zan seems to have little confidence in the upcoming war.
The comparison between the two sides flashed through his mind. To be honest, Zhao Yun himself was not very optimistic about their side. After all, the Luoyang court was the true orthodoxy of the Han family. Even if Yuan Shao introduced an emperor like Liu Xie,
It is also a fact that is difficult to change.
Although Liu Xie is a shield in front of him, which to a certain extent eliminates the righteousness of the Luoyang court, right and wrong are all in the hearts of the people. Which one is orthodox? This point only depends on the silence of so many states and counties in the world.
Take a look or two.
In addition, Chu Yi's side was stronger than the Chang'an court in terms of both civil servants and generals. Even if Yuan Shao and others refused to admit this, they actually knew it in their hearts.
Their only reliance was that Chu Yi sent troops to conquer Chang'an, which must cross Hangu Pass. As long as they blocked the imperial army outside Hangu Pass, even if they could not severely damage Chu Yi's troops, it would be the greatest victory.
After all, as long as the counter-rebellion army cannot suppress the Chang'an court, people watching from all sides will inevitably have all kinds of inappropriate thoughts.
Not to mention other things, just like Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Yu of Youzhou, these important clan officials who did not react at all to the great changes in the world may not be able to support their troops and respect themselves and establish themselves as kings like Liu Yan of Yizhou.
It can be said that the Battle of Hangu Pass determined the future direction of the world. Once the imperial army failed to break through Hangu Pass to suppress the puppet emperor of Chang'an, the world would inevitably be in turmoil.
Once Hangu Pass is breached and the Chang'an imperial court is breached, it will shock the world. Unless there are some real rebels, few people will foolishly jump out to seek death.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Yun looked at Gongsun Zan and said: "Why do you say this, sir? We have the natural danger of Hangu Pass. Even if we cannot win, we are still in an invincible position."
Gongsun Zan glanced at Zhao Yun and sighed slightly: "The key is that today the Chu bandits bluntly stated in front of the three armies that Hangu Pass will be broken within three days. Yuan Benchu and others thought he was joking, but as Chu Yi, he
How could you make such a joke?"
Zhao Yun was suddenly startled, and Chu Yi's figure appeared in his mind. Zhao Yun was no stranger to Chu Yi. After all, he had fought against Chu Yi before. Yuan Shao and others all said that Chu Yi was a treasonous person.
Traitor, but Zhao Yun would not be so foolish as to think that Chu Yi was really a traitor.
Moreover, even if Chu Yi is really a traitor, he is definitely not an ordinary traitor. For such a person who he cannot see through, Zhao Yun felt horrified when he heard Gongsun Zan say this. Could it be that
Are you saying that what Chu Yi said was not a joke, but a statement of fact?
Almost instinctively, Zhao Yun said subconsciously: "But how could Hangu Pass, such a majestic and important place, be captured in three days? This is simply unrealistic."
Gongsun Zan nodded slowly and said: "That's why I asked Yuan Benchu to fight. Within these three days, we will wander outside the city. On the one hand, we will sit and watch how Chu Yi defeats the city. On the other hand, we can also serve as an army."
The mobile power restrains part of Chu Yi's energy."
Zhao Yun said in surprise: "Does the general know about this move?"
Gongsun Zan sneered and said: "What qualifications does Yuan Shao have to be that great general? It's just the Yuan family's continued protection. From my point of view, if Yuan Shao can really push back Chu Yi's army, I'm afraid he will have to deal with it first."
I'm waiting for the princes to take action."
Zhao Yun was noncommittal. After all, anyone who is not stupid can see this. However, facing a powerful enemy like Chu Yi, even if Yuan Shao and other princes have their own evil intentions, they must maintain unity on the surface, otherwise they will not wait until they fight.
, Chu Yi had already suppressed them.
While speaking, Gongsun Zan said to Zhao Yun: "Tong Zilong, what you said is to remind you not to rush into the enemy camp foolishly later. Zilong only needs to protect me."
Since Zhao Yun understood Gongsun Zan's plan, he nodded.
In the dead of night, the military camp of hundreds of thousands of troops also fell into silence. However, at this moment, the cry of killing suddenly rang out, immediately waking up countless soldiers in the military camp.
Many soldiers woke up from their sleep and heard the shouts of killing. They subconsciously grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the tent. Looking from a distance in the direction where the shouts of killing came from, they saw a blaze of fire.
In the camp, Chu Yi and others seemed to have expected that someone would attack the camp. They looked at Gongsun Zan and others hundreds of feet away in front of the camp from a distance.
Everyone had strange looks on their faces. There was indeed an ambush in the camp. They were just waiting for the attackers to break into the camp and swarm them to ambush them.
However, Gongsun Zan's soldiers a hundred feet away from the camp stopped one by one and just waved the torches in their hands and shouted loudly. No matter how you looked at this situation, you felt that something was wrong.
Dian Wei scratched his head, holding a short halberd in one hand and said to Chu Yi: "Your Majesty, what are these people doing? Aren't they the ones who came to attack the camp?"
Chu Yi said in surprise: "What the hell is Gongsun Zan doing?"
Even Chu Yi was confused by Gongsun Zan's move, but Chu Yi quickly said to Dian Wei: "If evil comes, you can lead a group of troops to charge and kill him. I want to see what Gongsun Zan has."
What plan?"
Dian Wei's eyes lit up, he laughed loudly, and he immediately strode out with a short halberd. Soon a group of elite soldiers and horses followed Dian Wei out of the camp and rushed towards Gongsun Zan's troops to kill him.
Gongsun Zan saw a group of soldiers and horses charging out of the camp, and shouted decisively: "White horses follow, volley!"
In the blink of an eye, arrows fell like rain. Fortunately, the elite troops led by Dian Wei had already prepared for this and quickly blocked with shields. Although some soldiers were shot and killed, the losses were not too great.
The elites were like a torrent, rushing forward in the blink of an eye.
They were about to rush into the cavalry group, but at this moment, Gongsun Zan shouted, and the army changed direction in the blink of an eye and roared away.
Dian Wei, who had just rushed forward, subconsciously waved his short halberd in an attempt to start a fight, but in the end he only saw the retreating figures of Gongsun Zan and others followed by a cloud of dust.
"You don't have the guts to stay and fight with your Grandpa Dianwei."
Dian Wei was so angry that Gongsun Zan left without a fight, which made him lead his men to kill him without even touching a hair of the enemy.
"Ah ah ah, I'm really angry."
Dian Wei was about to lead his army to catch up, but at this moment Chu Yi's voice came: "When evil comes, don't chase the poor bandits, take them back to the camp!"
Dian Wei always obeyed Chu Yi's orders. Although he shouted angrily, after Chu Yi gave the order, Dian Wei immediately led his army back to the camp.
Gongsun Zan's actions indeed made many people look stupid, but some people looked thoughtful, just like Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others looked at each other as if they understood something.
Chu Yi glanced in the direction where Gongsun Zan was going, with a slight smile on his lips, and pointedly said: "Gongsun Zan is destined to be lucky!"
Dian Wei, who had just rushed forward, subconsciously waved his short halberd in an attempt to start a fight, but in the end he only saw the retreating figures of Gongsun Zan and others followed by a cloud of dust.

There was a fight, but the result was to watch the retreating figures of Gongsun Zan and others and a cloud of dust.
"You don't have the guts to stay and fight with your Grandpa Dianwei."
Dian Wei was so angry that Gongsun Zan left without a fight, which made him lead his men to kill him without even touching a hair of the enemy.
