The herald rushed in and knelt down to report: "To the general, the barbarian coalition is attacking Lujing Pass."

Zhang Lang smiled coldly, "Okay! The monkeys and mice all jumped up together!" He glanced at the herald and asked, "How is the current situation of the war?" The herald said: "The war is stalemate! General Xu Huang said that if the barbarian army just attacks

Lujing Pass can definitely be defended! But if the barbarian army divides its troops to cross the river, the battle situation will take a turn for the worse."

Zhang Lang thought to himself: "It is not that simple to divide the troops to cross the river!" He said to a soldier beside him: "Summon General Zhang Liao immediately." The soldier agreed and ran down.

…

A few quarters of an hour later, in the lobby of the Shangyong City Government Office, Zhang Lang stood at the top, Ma Chao, and Zhang Liao stood at the bottom on the left and right respectively. Zhang Lang said: "The problem of the barbarians must be solved as soon as possible!" He stopped and glanced at the two generals.

"I plan to lead the Canglang Army to Lujing Pass immediately. Wenyuan, you are fully responsible for the matters here, and you can make decisions on the fly. Remember

One thing, don't take the initiative, even if you see an opportunity, don't act rashly! Zhou Yu is more treacherous than a ghost, you must be careful!" Zhang Liao frowned and asked: "What about the Western Regions?" Zhang Lang thought for a moment, "I plan to

Send Kong Ming to take charge, and with the power of the Western Region Legion and the coalition forces of various countries, we should be able to block the Yueshi's attack!"

After making arrangements for Hanzhong, Zhang Lang led Ma Chao and the Canglang Army to leave Shangyong overnight.

Lujinguan.

After several days of fierce attacks, the barbarian army stopped the attack. They have realized that it is very difficult to forcefully capture Lujing Pass with their ability, and even if they capture Lujing Pass, they will have to pay an unbearable and terrible cost.

cost.

The barbarian army was confronting Lu Bu's army outside the city. From time to time, some people came out to scold the formation, and even the eighteen generations of Lu Bu's ancestors were scolded. Even though these barbarians from the south were not inferior to the Han people in their ability to scold others.

However, the barbarian army's scolding of the city did not have the desired effect. Lu Bu's army was guarding the city and had no intention of going to war. The barbarian army seemed to have nothing to do and just repeated the useless scolding of the city every day.

A few days later, Xu Huang felt something was wrong. The barbarian army had no intention of attacking at all, which was really strange. He walked quickly to the map and looked at the terrain map of Lujing Pass and its surroundings, frowning. His eyes were on Lu

The rivers on both sides of Jinguan are swimming upstream. Calling

A soldier ordered him to call the local elders. The soldiers took the order and rushed down. The local elders were the old people who had lived in the area all their lives. They were specially found by Xu Huang from nearby.

He is a Han. This place is a place where barbarians live together, so there are also many Han people living there.

After a while, two hunched old men wearing turbans and white beards followed the soldiers into the hall. When they saw Xu Huang, they quickly saluted.

Xu Huang helped them up, led them to the map, pointed at the map and asked: "Two elders, do you know if there is another place to cross this river besides Lujinguan?"

The two old men looked at each other, and one old man said with some uncertainty: "I remember that there is a place called Huangyangjian about sixty miles away from Guanyou. Although the mountains on both sides of that place are steep, the water is not deep and you can swim across it."

Another old man nodded quickly: "Yes, yes! There is such a place. That place is all in the thorn bushes, and even the locals know very little about it!"

Xu Huang looked thoughtful, "Do the barbarians know?"

The two old men looked at each other, and the old man on the left said: "This little man doesn't dare to say anything."

Xu Huang thought for a moment, clasped his fists towards the two old men and said, "Thank you for informing me." The two old men were flattered and quickly returned the gift, saying together: "Being able to help the general is a blessing for the common people. How dare you say thank you to the general?"

Xu Huang asked his soldiers to lead the two old men down. Then he called the scout and ordered him to immediately cover Huangyangjian, which was sixty miles away. The scout was surprised and said: "This place is sixty miles away from Lujing Pass.

Is it necessary?"

Xu Huang said: "The more impossible it seems, the more likely it is to be dangerous! Send out the scouts immediately and report back immediately if there is any situation!" The scout officer clasped his fists in agreement and left the hall.

However, the herald rushed back a moment later and hurriedly reported: "General, a scout just came to report that a large group of barbarians appeared in the northeast!"

Xu Huang was shocked, "How many people are there?"

"According to scouts, there are twenty to thirty thousand people."

Xu Huang frowned: "It's too late after all!" The deputy general next to him said urgently: "The barbarian army has got behind our army, we must retreat quickly! Otherwise, our army will be completely annihilated!" Another deputy general said:

"This is not the most serious thing! Now there is almost no soldier on the line from Lujin Pass to Chengdu! If the two to thirty thousand barbarian troops do not attack us, they go to attack Chengdu! The consequences will be even more serious!"

Xu Huang was a little hesitant. He felt that if he gave up Lujing Pass, all the general's previous efforts would be in vain!

An officer hurried in to report: "General, the barbarians have begun to attack the city!" As if to echo the officer's words, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a huge attack and killing sound from outside! Listening to the sound,

The barbarian army seemed to have used all their strength! Xu Huang said coldly: "Do you think the time has come? Humph!"

"General, you must make up your mind early!" a deputy general said urgently, cupping his fists.

Xu Huang said decisively: "Hold on!"

The generals were stunned for a moment, and a deputy general said urgently: "General, what should we do if the barbarian army attacks deeply?"

Xu Huang said confidently: "Don't worry! I'm sure that the enemy will not attack in depth, but will join the main force of the barbarians to attack Lujing Pass!" He turned to a deputy general and ordered: "Go to the north immediately.

The city wall must be guarded to the death!" The deputy general promised and ran down.

Another lieutenant general said worriedly: "What would have happened if the barbarian army did not come to attack Lujing Pass as the general expected? What's more, even if it is as the general expected, our army is under attack from both sides, and I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long!"

Xu Huang said angrily: "I will take care of this matter! You only have to carry out the order, why do you need to think so much?" The deputy general said nothing.

Soon after, the barbarian army that crossed the river came to attack the city as Xu Huang expected. The barbarian army attacked from two sides, and Lujing Pass was like a piece of meat sandwiched in a pancake. It was tortured on both sides. The battle was particularly fierce. The barbarian army

Reversing the careless attitude of attacking before, he attacked the city with all his strength, and his momentum

Like a rainbow, the shouts were so loud that all the fish in the river jumped out, and the birds in the nearby mountains flew into chaos. There were only tens of thousands of defenders, desperately resisting, and they just put down the barbarian army's powerful attacks one after another.
