"I''ve always heard that many brave and sharp under the command of marquis Dong. Now I see that it doesn''t deserve the name. I''ve only lost for a while. I close the gate and dare not go to war."

    "Dong Zhuo spent half his life in the army. Is he a generation who won a false reputation?"

    Lu Li has a talent for barbecue. When vice captain Zhang Jing went out for inspection, a leg of sheep was roasted golden and soft by him.

    On one side, Zhang Yang was also baking mutton legs. He held the leg bones in one hand and sprinkled salt in the other hand. He casually asked, "how is Dong Hou''s camp?"

    It was only half a day from the local emperor of Hanguguan to the military leader for human command, but Zhang Jingshi responded very well. He immediately bowed his hands and replied, "it is very simple. He has neither dug gullies nor built high walls, but only set up some anti horses."

    "How about the alert?"

    "About one of the riders was scattered outside. They found that we went to investigate and did not pursue. They just kept drinking and scolding. Their words were very strange. Han was not Han and Hu was not Hu."

    Zhao Yun nodded. As he expected, Dong Zhuo didn''t intend to stay at the pass for a long time, so the camp was set so rudimentary——

    For a veteran like Dong Zhuo, if he really wants to camp and rest, he will inevitably build high walls and dig gullies, because this is the most basic common sense.

    "It''s not peaceful tonight." Zhang Jing looked at Lu Li''s roast mutton legs and swallowed his saliva again. He said to himself: "the Xiliang army are old soldiers and are best at night fighting..."

    The temperature of the carbon fire was just right, and the mutton legs were full of oil. Lu Li poured half a pot of wine given by the emperor of Shao on it to prevent it from smelling fishy.

    In addition, there are rest fennel, pepper, flax and various precious spices for seasoning. Frankly speaking, Zhang Jing has never seen such a luxurious way to eat. Even if his uncle is Zhang rang, he has seen a lot of the world.

    Lu Li''s five senses are far more than ordinary people. Naturally, he realizes that a line of sight always falls in his own hands.

    "Gu..."

    In the middle of it, a slight but continuous voice came from Zhang Jing''s stomach. Fortunately, his face was ruddy and could not see anything.

    "Sit down and eat together."

    It was not long ago that the garrison captain who disobeyed the order was killed in public to frighten the soldiers. Now, he easily won a challenge and all his goals have been achieved. Lu Li doesn''t need to maintain any dignity. He directly cuts off a piece of roast meat.

    "Thank you, general."

    Hearing the speech, Zhang Jing did not shirk. After thanking him, he quickly sat down cross legged, took out the dagger from his arms and surrounded Zhao Yun, Lu Li and others.

    Obviously, he was also hungry. He chewed half a fat and tender leg of lamb in a moment, leaving only bones. After eating, he looked at Lu Li eagerly and stopped talking.

    "Bake it yourself."

    "Mianchi County Magistrate specially ordered people to kill 20 sheep as military food and put them there."

    With that, Lu Li pointed behind him. After a small battle, he also needed to fill his strength to cope with the next fierce battle.

    When Zhang Jing went to get mutton, Zhang Yang turned to the two people around him and said, "general Lailu expected it to be good. The pioneer of the Xiliang army lost for a while, which really made Dong Zhuo put away his arrogance, that is, he didn''t know who would be sent to challenge next."

    "Li Zhen, Guo Si, fan Hou, Zhang Ji and Xu Rong, when I was in Binzhou in the past years, I often heard Qiang people talk about these people. I don''t think they are too weak."

    However, different from publicity, Lu Li felt that he might face Zhan Huaxiong in the next period——

    Hu Fu died, Zhang Heng was defeated and returned, and Dong Jun''s spirit was greatly frustrated. In order to save face and morale, Dong Zhuo will surely send elite generals at night.

    Hua Xiong is undoubtedly a military general underestimated by later generations. He only talks about the four coalition generals who died in the first World War in tiger prison:

    Bao Zhong, Zu Mao, Yu she, Pan Feng.

    Bao Zhong is the younger brother of Bao Xin, the Prime Minister of Jibei. He once confronted Hua Xiong in front of Sishui pass. As a result, Jin Hu was cut off by a knife and died on the spot.

    Since this man died as soon as he appeared, no one knows how strong he is. After all, he can''t find a reference, but Zu Mao is different. He is a fierce general under Sun Jian, the fierce tiger in Jiangdong. He is as famous as Han Dang, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai. After his death, the remaining three people have become the first-class generals of Soochow in future generations. They can sneak into Huaxiong from the forest and take the lead, But he was killed by a knife.

    As for Yu she, it''s also not worth mentioning. Like Bao Zhong, he dies when he comes out. Lu Li believes that he should be similar to Pei yuanshao, a yellow scarf general.

    Finally, general Pan Feng is also controversial. Some people think he is weak and does not match the name of general. Others think he is strong, including Lu Li.

    Since ancient times, Hebei has been a place where many famous generals have emerged. Since Han Fu put down his bold words in front of the other 17 princes, "I have general Pan Feng, I can kill Huaxiong", it shows that there is little water in the name of general Pan Feng. Otherwise, why don''t other generals from Hebei expose it?

    Tonight, I''ll meet Hua Xiong for Mr. Guan first!

    After thinking for a long time, Lu Li simply stopped thinking and continued to eat barbecue. He knew that no matter who Dong Zhuo sent for the second needle, he would fight in person and kill him.

    More than ten miles away, Dong Zhuo and his three sons-in-law came to Yuanmen and climbed high to overlook Hangu pass in the distance.

    Niu Fu looked at the fire in the distance. For a moment, he couldn''t figure out how many defenders were hiding there. He really needed so many campfires to cook or the general bluff.

    Duke saw that his father-in-law was silent, as were Li Ru and Niu Fu. He also maintained this tacit understanding. He just thought to himself: who are the Duwei stationed in Hangu pass and whether they are familiar faces?

    According to Zhang Heng''s description, he is brave, good at using iron horse halberd, weak crown age and seven feet six inches tall.

    One name after another floated in my mind, and then one by one was denied. You know, they have lived in this world for a whole year, and their temperament and body shape will change, but Duke didn''t think of Lu Li from beginning to end——

    It is estimated that in Qiao County, peiguo, I will stay with CaO and Xia Hou, otherwise I will stay with Cao mengde and hang out with Yuan Shao.

    At this time, Dong Zhuo raised his hand and stroked the handle of the knife. He looked at the distance in a trance and still didn''t speak.

    Without any expression, Dong Zhuo''s mood was very stable. He stood on the high platform and paced slowly. He no longer waved Fang Qiu''s enthusiasm in the big tent, nor talked about the warmth of family affairs at the dinner table, but there should be a lot of complex emotions intertwined.

    After all, without opening his mouth for so long, he must be thinking about something in his heart.

    Behind him, Duke pressed various miscellaneous thoughts and guessed the thoughts of his father-in-law. Some were easy to think of, others were not.

    For example, there must be worries about the future. I thought my ally yuan Kai would take care of everything, but ended up outside the Hangu pass.

    However, based on Duke''s understanding of his father-in-law, he believed that even if flying general Lv Bu personally sits opposite the town, the flying bear army will eventually pass Hangu pass.

    At this moment, Dong Zhuo is still the "Xiang Hou" who has been in the army for half his life. He has not been fascinated by the prosperity of Luoyang. With his sophisticated mind, I''m afraid he has foreseen all kinds of possibilities and come up with Countermeasures before departure without being reminded by counselors.

    "Who do you think is the safest to send?"

    Just then, Dong Zhuo suddenly stood still and turned to look at the three people behind him.

    "Father-in-law and son-in-law will wash away the shame if they ask for war." Niu Fu was straightforward and didn''t want to take the lead in expressing his position.

    Duke followed, his tone full of confidence: "I''m willing to go with Niu Fu."

    After struggling for a long time, he decided to go to Hangu pass in person.

    Dong Zhuo took a deep look at Niu Fu, but didn''t answer. In fact, he knew the abilities of his three sons-in-law:

    Niu Fu has more loyalty but less ability.

    Duke knows things like God and has extraordinary combat power, but his speech and action are always out of tune. He is talkative and lacks experience.

    Li Ru alone is impeccable in both ability and loyalty.

    Seeing his father-in-law glancing at him, Li Ru, who had a belly manuscript in his heart, arched his hand and said, "we had a divination with Wenhe before. The divination images are the same. The heaven indicated that we should not be impulsive."

    Dong Zhuo nodded without interrupting.

    "Tonight, either don''t fight and avoid the edge, or send a strong general in the army to destroy the withered and decay."

    With that, Li Ru thought again who should be sent to challenge:

    To be steady, Xu Rong is undoubtedly the best candidate. He has first-class command ability and is proficient in various battle methods. However, his force is slightly inferior. In case of defeat, it will damage his morale.

    To be cruel, Li Zhen is absolutely the first. He can do anything that hurts Tianhe by building the Beijing Temple and hanging the corpse in public. The name of "butcher" is widely spread within the Xiliang corps, and the force is naturally ranked first.

    [separation, two separation, fire is the same, and the upper and lower parts are clear. Fire has Qi, but it is invisible. The Lord has no real and uncertain intention]

    The second time, I''m afraid I''ll lose. It''s not suitable to send a veteran with too much reputation. When his mind suddenly changed, Li Ru thought of the most suitable candidate.

    Dong Zhuo just opened his mouth and asked, "who is the candidate?"

    "Hua Xiong," Li Ru said firmly.

    He is brave and brave. Although he has a vague posture of catching up from behind, his seniority is still shallow.

    Dong Zhuo pondered a little and ordered, "in that case, send my military order to Zijian and ask him to lead 300 heavy horses to challenge the enemy outside Hangu pass."

    The reason why only 300 cavalry were sent was that the cavalry were not good at attacking the city. It was meaningless to go more and less.

    In addition, this action is to make up for the mistakes made by Hu Yun and Zhang Heng——

    Challenge defeat.

    Yi Zhou Shu Ke Yin: the Zhou Dynasty took 350 cars, Chen yumuye and Emperor Xin Cong. King Wu sent his father and uncle to the teacher.

    Kong Chao''s note: to the teacher, the challenge is also.

    When the two armies intersect, it is a common practice to challenge in front of the battle, which has existed since ancient times.

    That is, send a small number of warriors to the enemy''s front to shout and ask the enemy to send an equal number of generals to duel with them fairly.

    Although this is less harmful, it is of great significance, because both belligerents are determined to compete for the sharp momentum of preemption.

    For Dong Zhuo, who was defeated for a while, he can''t lose any more. He must be ashamed of this war.

    "Slow!"

    Duke bowed his head and bowed his hands. He dared to interrupt Dong Zhuo''s decision: "father-in-law, my son-in-law wants to recommend someone."

    "Just say."

    Dong Zhuo frowned.

    "Guo Si has a brave character and rich battlefield experience. He will be competent for the post of pioneer."

    This time, Duke really couldn''t find a reason and simply pulled some reasons at will.

    As the saying goes, heroes think alike. He also believes that Hua Xiong is an underrated general.

    [the first skill of Weizhen in heaven and earth, the drum of camp painting is beating. Yunchang stops to show his courage. When the wine is still warm, he will kill Huaxiong.]

    Having been in this world for a whole year, Duke has been able to fully integrate into ancient life. He knows that the ancients had to cook wine first. It takes at least two minutes, that is, 30 minutes, from boiling to warm wine.

    Leaving aside the journey and battle, there is still plenty of time for the two to fight. It can be imagined that there must have been a fierce fight between Guan Erye and Hua Xiong, and it is directly said in the romance:

    Outside the pass, there was a big shock of drums and loud shouts, such as heaven and earth, mountains and landslides.

    Hua Xiong can fight with the famous second master to this extent. Is it a yong general?

    In addition, Duke has heard a statement that has not been verified——

    The first three knives of the second master are the most fierce.

    In other words.

    Duke doesn''t want Hua Xiong to play so soon. He''d better persuade Dong Zhuo to use him as a card.

    Guo Si?

    The horse thief was born with a strong character and fought in the north and south for many years.

    Dong Zhuo thinks he can''t help it. Anyway, the guard General of Hangu pass can''t beat the general of Xiliang. As long as he doesn''t send Zhang Heng and others, he should be able to win steadily.

    At this time, Niu Fu stared at the round tiger eyes, hugged his fist and said, "the emperor has been at Chengping for a long time. He hasn''t heard of the war for a hundred years. How can he compare with my four battle fields in Xiliang?"

    "Send a big general at will, you can easily win and strengthen our army."

    Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo was confident and knew to do bad things, but he didn''t dissuade him.

    First, Huaxiong was decided, and then it was changed to Guo Si. If it was changed again, wouldn''t the battlefield become a children''s play?

    In addition, Li Ru and Duke are Dong Zhuo''s son-in-law. They have a good relationship. Seeing that he recommended Guo Si, they were very firm and simply silent.

    "Send my military order to Guo Si and ask him to take 300 heavy horses to challenge the enemy outside Hangu pass."

    Dong Zhuo walked down the platform with a negative hand.

    Duke and Niu Fu''s voice sounded at the same time: "the last general will ask for war and is willing to sweep the array for General Guo."

    Then, Li Ru also volunteered.

    Dong Zhuo turned around and stared at the three people for a while before nodding his head.

    The moon is bright and the stars are dim tonight. You can see the distant scene without a torch. It is most suitable for the night battle between the two armies.

    Zishi.

    Dong Ying''s gate opened and hundreds of heavy horses drove out slowly. A tall general walked in front of him, wearing a ring knife and holding a black gun.

    Then there were three people. One was as strong as an ox, holding a thousand catties of mountain axe. The other looked dignified and looked into the distance. It seemed that he was curious about something. The other was holding a feather fan, with a slight frown on his brow, obviously having something on his mind.

    On the night of early spring, it was cool. After eating and drinking enough, the guards sat around the fire and waited for the day.

    "What will the cavalry take to attack the city? All the trees nearby that can be used to make ladders and siege hammers are burned to ashes..."

    "That''s us ordinary people, and the generals are all from heaven and earth. Their means are mysterious. How can they guess at will?"

    The soldiers were sleepy and talked in a low voice.

    Lu Li, Zhang Yang and Zhao Yun sat on the guanlou building, overlooking Dong Ying in the north.

    Suddenly, he saw a group of cavalry flying to the front of the pass. In order to boost morale, he didn''t wait for the other party to shout. He shouted: "I''m Lu mengming in Taiyuan, too. Don''t you give the head yet?"

    Not far away, Duke was stunned.

    The sound
