I saw a large army stationed there, with a terrifying majesty and a murderous atmosphere. Let's talk about the great army of Wei, with 830,000 troops stationed, known as a million-strong army. On the other side, in and behind the Hulao Pass, there were also camps all over the place, each at key points, which was personally mobilized by Pang Tong, the Prime Minister of the Western Tang Dynasty. Each camp and village was overcrowded with soldiers and heavily guarded. There were 320,000 soldiers and horses in total, and they were said to be 600,000 strong. Cao Ren once led his troops to explore, and he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the exquisite layout of the Tang army's camp, each according to the terrain and supporting each other.
"This Pang Shiyuan's strategy is really unpredictable. Even if Jiang Ziya and Zhang Zifang come in person, it is nothing more than this. Never underestimate him or underestimate the enemy."
The two armies combined numbered nearly one hundred thousand people, and they faced off against each other at the most dangerous pass in the world. A shocking battle that could shock the past and be recorded in the history books is about to break out. About seven or eight days later, the Tang army came with another reinforcement, an army of 80,000 barbarians led by the barbarian king Mengda. At the same time, the equipment and equipment of the two armies were improved, and soldiers from both armies arrived one after another from various places. Wei Emperor Cao Cao has been in the military camp for many days. The soldiers have repeatedly advised him to start the war immediately. But Cao Cao had no intention of attacking and refused the generals' invitation. He ordered not to act rashly and anyone who disobeyed the order would be killed! So all the generals did not dare to say anything and stayed still for the time being.
Suddenly one day, a scout came to report that the Southern Barbarian King Mengda and his 80,000 barbarian troops had arrived at Hulao Pass. When all the civil and military officials heard this, their expressions changed. Cao Ren, the general of the army, frowned.
"There are already 600,000 rebels in the Western Tang Dynasty, and now there are 80,000 barbarians, which are almost the same as our army. Together with the rebels in the Western Tang Dynasty, they are guarding the pass. In this way, our army may not be able to move even an inch!"
Hearing this, all the generals hesitated to speak, with a look of regret on their faces. Cao Cao was in high spirits and laughed after hearing this.
"The barbarians have arrived, and now it's time to show off with the traitors of the Western Tang Dynasty!!"
When Huangniao General Hao Zhao heard this, he looked confused and asked anxiously.
"Why is it that Your Majesty is not worried and happy when he hears that the traitors in the Western Tang Dynasty have received reinforcements?"
"Haha. What Bo Dao asked must be what all of you Qing family are asking. Don't be impatient. Let me explain to you."
After Cao Cao laughed, all the civil and military officials turned pale and looked at him closely. Cao Cao's expression darkened, then he opened his mouth to speak.
"In the Western Tang Dynasty traitor army, there are many foreigners. According to reports from spies, there are more than 50,000 Qiang and Hu soldiers, and now there are 80,000 barbarians. The foreigners occupy a very heavy force. If anything happens, they will be killed. It¡¯s a problem later. Do you know how the fake emperor Wen Bufan became famous?¡±
Cao Cao suddenly asked, Hao Zhao seemed to be very familiar with Wen Han, so he opened his mouth to answer.
"As far as I know, Wen Bufan was the one who defeated the rebellion of the barbarians and defeated the barbarians. He was respected by the people of Bingzhou and called him the champion, so he became famous all over the world. Could it be! It's your Majesty's intention!"
After Hao Zhao said this, his eyes widened and he seemed to have guessed one or two of them. Cao Cao smiled knowingly, his sharp eyes still glowing with frightening light, and said in a concentrated voice.
"Wen Bufan has a deep hatred for foreigners. In recent years, although they have issued policies and sought ways to integrate. But the so-called people who are not from our race must have different hearts, and the barbarians are far away from other places. How can they be in harmony with the people of the Tang Dynasty. But if there is some Unexpected events will inevitably lead to chaos. If I attack them with full strength, they will be defeated. What's more, the army that came from Jizhou and Jingzhou earlier has traveled a long distance and is not suitable for fighting. Therefore, I ordered the troops to stand still. It allows the sergeant to rest and recuperate, and secondly, he is waiting for this opportunity!"
When Cao Cao spoke out his words, all the civil and military officials listened with admiration. Jinpeng General Jiang Wei, his eyes fixed, bowed his hands and bowed.
"If that's the case. It's not too late. Your Majesty can immediately issue an order to prepare the troops for war!!"
Cao Cao nodded slightly, with excitement on his face, and issued orders. Everyone took the order and retreated one after another. In an instant, only Cao Cao was left in the barracks, and Jia Xu, who had never spoken. Cao Cao turned his eyes to Jia Xu, pondered for a while, and then opened his mouth to ask.
"Wen He thinks, can I defeat Na Wen Bufan and unify the country in this battle?!"
"Your Majesty has great talents and great strategies, and the civil and military forces of the DPRK and China are united as one. All the soldiers in the army are dedicated to fighting for the country. How can your Majesty have any reason to lose?"
Jia Xu bowed his hands and said respectfully. Upon hearing this, Cao Cao smiled calmly, his eyes shining brightly, as if he was more than ten years younger. The other side is in Hulao Pass. Wen Han was sitting in the high hall, and a group of civil and military officials from the Western Tang Dynasty were sitting on the table. Wen Han's sword eyes were majestic, he looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice.
"At this moment, the barbarian army has arrived. The war between the two countries is about to break out. I hope that all of you will serve me wholeheartedly. Help me to unify the country. If I can build a great cause in the future, it will all be due to the contributions of all of you."
As soon as Wenhan finished speaking, all the civil and military officials stood up and worshiped, saying they were willing to die. Wenhan was overjoyed and waved his hand, and all the ministers sat down one after another. Only the Shenlong General and the Martial Saint Hou Guan Yunchang still stood like a winding mountain, holding their hands and saying??
"Your Majesty! Now the two armies are facing each other at Hulao Pass with almost all their troops. The success of this battle is related to the world. If your Majesty does not mind that I am old, I am willing to lead an army to defeat the spirit of the Wei people first!!"
Guan Yu has a pair of red and phoenix eyes, which are like shining divine light. Although he is in his twilight years, his whole body still exudes a majestic power that cannot be offended. Wenhan smiled brilliantly after hearing this. At this time, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang and other generals in the ranks all wanted to fight, but they did not dare to compete with Guan Yu. Guan Yu can be said to be the pillar of the Western Tang Dynasty. Who in the court does not respect him? At this time, one person stood up angrily and shouted carelessly.
"What's the use of a bull's knife to kill a chicken? Lord Guan Sheng is famous all over the world. If he goes there first, wouldn't he teach the people of Wei to laugh at me that there is no one in the Western Tang Dynasty! I will be incapable of talent at the end, but I am willing to be a pioneer and go to fight!!"
Wen Han fixed his eyes and saw that he was the beloved general of Barbarian King Meng You, with three knots of silver rings. Meng You's expression changed when he heard this, and he quickly looked away for fear of offending Guan Yu. Unexpectedly, the three knots of silver rings ignored him, with a look of arrogance on his face. Guan Yu Danfeng narrowed his eyes and was about to open his mouth. At this time, Wen Han nodded and responded.
"Yes! This is reasonable. The King of Hedong is the current martial saint. It would be beneath his status to go to war easily. It is a good thing that this barbarian warrior is willing to go to war to shake the morale of the army. However, the Wei Dynasty has so many fierce generals that it cannot be Underestimating the enemy. Where is Guo Boji?"
Wenhan¡¯s eyes lit up and he suddenly shouted. When Guo Huai heard the order, he came out with emotion and held his hands in front of him.
"Guo Boji is here!!"
"I order you to lead a thousand elite soldiers and go with this barbarian warrior. You should remember that you must not fail in this trip, it will not be like the Western Tang Dynasty!! Teach the Wei invaders to despise!!"
As soon as Wenhan finished speaking, Guo Huai shouted and accepted the order, so he took Yinhuan Sanjie as the vanguard and Guo Huai as the deputy general, and went to the Wei army stronghold first to start the battle. After Wen Han finished his instructions, he was very pleased with the three knots of Yinhuan. He glanced at Guo Huai and felt contempt for his young age, so he walked away on his own. Guo Huai ignored him and followed. Meng You sighed secretly when he saw this, and when he saw Yinhuan Sanjie and Guo Huai leaving one after another, he hurriedly paid his respects.
"Although that Yinhuan Sanjie has a flamboyant temper, he is a good man who values ??love and justice. If he hadn't fallen in love with him back then, you would have died a long time ago. If you have offended His Majesty and the dignity of the King of Hedong, please forgive me!"
When Guan Yu heard this, he closed his eyes lightly and said nothing. Wenhan smiled calmly and waved his hand.
"The Barbarian King doesn't have to be like this. Since I decreed that hundreds of tribes will be harmonious, all my people will be one family regardless of their masters. You and other barbarians have always had a fiery and fierce temperament, and I also know a thing or two about it. However, the so-called irregularity does not make a circle. . I hope the Barbarian King will take more control of it in the future.¡±
Meng You was shocked when he heard this and was very grateful. However, the barbarian soldiers beside him rarely listened in their hearts, laughing secretly that Wen Han was weak and did not dare to punish him severely. Wen Han saw it, but he didn't get angry yet, and he and other civil and military officials came out one after another to watch the battle in the pavilion in front of the pass.
But he said that Yinhuan bowed three times and retreated. He ordered three thousand elite soldiers under his command. When he saw Guo Huai leading his troops, he gave the order and rushed out of the pass. Guo Huai frowned and then led his troops to catch up. In the Wei army's stronghold, the Wei soldiers saw that there was a barbarian army in the front and a Tang army in the back, and they quickly came to report to Cao Cao. When Cao Cao heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Jia Xu. Jia Xu understood the idea, bowed his hands and said.
"You can send Hao Bodao to fight!"
What Jia Xu said seems to be in line with Cao Cao's wishes. Cao Cao immediately ordered his men to summon Hao Zhao to gather three thousand soldiers and horses to fight. Later, Cao Cao led his generals to the front village to watch the battle. After a while, Yinhuan Sanjie led his troops to the Wei army's stronghold more than ten miles away. They saw a cloud of dust rising in front of them, and a group of people and horses suddenly came. The leader of the general was wearing a yellow bird robe and red bird armor. , Hao Zhao carrying double whips. Hao Zhaohu was stunned and shouted on his horse.
"I am Hao Bodao, General Huangniao of the Great Wei Dynasty. Who is coming? Tell me your name quickly!!"
The three-knotted Yin Huan stared fiercely. Seeing that Hao Zhao was young, he began to look down upon him again. He laughed loudly and shouted loudly.
"If you want to know the name of your barbaric grandfather, it depends on whether you have this ability!!"
?????????????? Holding a pair of golden broadswords with silver rings in three knots, he flew out on horseback. Hao Zhao was furious when he heard this. He raised his whip and rode out. In the flash of lightning, the two of them were in direct contact with each other. The three knots of Yinhuan slashed wildly with their swords, and launched a sudden attack as soon as they came. Hao Zhao didn't hesitate, he twisted his whip and started beating him. Guo Huai rode his horse to catch up. Seeing that the Yinhuan Sanjie offensive was in a mess, Hao Zhao was ready to go. He screamed secretly, held down the tiger-head sword in his hand, and secretly took the carved bow. The two of them fought for dozens of rounds. Suddenly, Hao Zhao dodged the golden knives struck by the three knots of silver rings, and suddenly gathered momentum. A big yellow bird suddenly appeared, and his double whips seemed to have the potential to destroy everything, slashing from left to right. Seeing Hao Zhao's sudden attack, Yinhuan Sanjie was unprepared and hurriedly twisted the knife to block it. ¡®Bang! Bang! ! ¡¯ There were two loud noises, and the three-knotted silver ring screamed in pain. The tiger¡¯s mouth of his hands was shattered, bleeding continued, and the golden knife fell to the ground.
"The shameless thief~! ! Take your life! ! ! "
Hao Zhaohu stared, and with his right hand, he twisted his whip and looked at the three knots of the silver ring and chopped it at the head. Silver Ring Sanjie saw the iron whip coming, and there was no weapon in his hand. He was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he secretly told me that I was going to die. At the critical moment, there was a loud bang and someone shouted.
"Wei Kou~!! Don't be so presumptuous, watch the arrow~~!!!"
At some point, Guo Huai galloped out on his horse and fired an arrow from the right side towards Hao Zhao. Hao Zhao's heart tightened, and he heard the sharp sound of arrows in his ears. He did not dare to neglect, and quickly moved to withdraw his whip. The arrow was right in front of Hao Zhao's eyes, flying diagonally and flashing past. At this time, Yinhuan Sanjie came back to his senses. He had almost lost his life just now. How could he dare to act recklessly? He reined in his horse and ran away behind the formation. Hao Zhao did not rush to chase him, but looked at Guo Huai on the right, seeing that he was several years younger than him, and couldn't help but sigh.
¡°What a handsome young man, what a handsome arrow!!¡±
But it was said that Guo Huai was highly regarded by Guan Yu, and Guan Yu taught him everything he had learned in his life. In the army, Guo Huai received guidance from the current martial arts saint almost every day, and his martial arts naturally improved by leaps and bounds. Not only did he learn the Eight Methods of Spring and Autumn, but he also learned and mastered the art of archery. Hao Zhao knew that Guo Huai was no ordinary person, so he stared at him with narrowed eyes and shouted sternly.
"Where did this little kid come from? Could it be that he is from the Western Tang Dynasty, and he only knows how to attack secretly!? Shuzi, do you dare to fight with me, Hao Bodao!?"
¡°Hao Thief, don¡¯t be so arrogant, I, Guo Boji, will come to meet you right now!!¡±
Guo Huai shouted loudly, with a pair of sharp eyes shining on his handsome face. He pressed his carved bow, rode his horse and raised his sword to fight Hao Zhao. The two men flew close to each other on flying horses. When Hao Zhao saw the long, slender sword in Guo Huai's hand and its strange shape, he knew that it was the rumored Tang sword, so he quickly shook his head and danced with his whip to fight. Guo Huai twists his knife and chops, each knife is faster than the last, and he has the tendency to go forward without any retreat and to fight to the death. Hao Zhao was secretly frightened. Guo Huai's sword skills were so fast and powerful that his sword power was like a stormy sea. Once suppressed by him, he would never be able to stand up! Hao Zhao thought about this and shouted loudly. The Yellow Bird's appearance suddenly appeared, and he struck violently with both whips. The attack was fierce, and he gradually pinned down Guo Huai's head. When the officers and soldiers in front of the formation saw this, their expressions changed drastically and they kept exclaiming. Yinhuan Sanjie saw that Hao Zhao and Guo Huai were so good at martial arts, their expressions kept changing, and they secretly sighed that they were not as good as they were.
On the other side, in the front stronghold of the Wei army. Cao Cao's eyes were glowing with glory, and he said while holding his beard.
"It seems that the four-style Tang sword is indeed very powerful. The weapon in the hands of this young general of the Western Tang Dynasty should be the ritual sword among the four-style Tang sword. It is such a fast sword~!!"
As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, all the generals around him looked calm and looked closely at the place where the fight was taking place. While Cao Cao was speaking, the battlefield suddenly changed. Guo Huai, who was originally suppressed, roared like a tiger roaring. Hao Zhao's expression changed, and he saw a giant white tiger appearing behind Guo Huai. As if Guo Huai had divine power, he intensified his sword power, slashing, slashing, picking, and stabbing in a series of attacks. The more Hao Zhao fought, the more frightened he became, so he tried his best to fight with all his strength.
