Yuan Shao was so excited that he often couldn't sleep at night, just because he was worried that Zhao Xing was going to be unlucky. As long as the disaster in Bingzhou was eliminated by the coalition forces, the Yuan family's "five generations, three dukes" or even "six generations, three dukes" will not be a problem in the future.

In the past seven or eight years, whenever Yuan Shao remembered that Zhao Xing was just a tenant farmer, and could even steal the position, on an equal footing with him, and even half a head higher, he was very angry and even depressed. Yuan Shao really couldn't understand why the jealous and fierce men under Zhao Xing were willing to take the lead instead of turning to the towering tree of the Yuan family. What Zhao Xing could give them was the Yuan family, and even more generous, but these people were unmoved.

Yuan Shao sent envoys in private to hint and win over Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Tian Feng, Guo Jia and even generals under Ding Yuan. The result was very sad. All the people who went there were swept out, and they didn't even give him a good face.

Since these people were willing to follow Zhao Xing all the way to the black, they had to take advantage of the encirclement of the army to wipe it out in one fell swoop to save the disaster. For example, Zhao Yun, who was guarding Huguan this time, and Yuan Shao was very jealous of the generals, but these people's loyalty to Zhao Xing can be described as fanatic, and there is no possibility of buying or exploiting it.

The imperial army has all taken place to fight against Zhao Donglu, stationed in Lin County, near Huguan, Guangping County. Today, the head coach Zhu Yan was promoted to the tent to discuss matters. After some discussion, he was preparing to launch a tentative attack on Huguan in the future. After some bargaining, this task was spread on Yuan Shao's head.

After careful investigation, the commander of the general guarding Huguan was Zhao Xing's fourth brother Zhao Yun. The other generals were unknown at present, and the total strength would not exceed 10,000. Zhao Yun wanted to use 10,000 troops to fight the attack of the 130,000 Eastern Alliance Army, which was a bit overestimated. Even if Zhao Yun was a rare "enemies of ten thousand people", he could only throw a bag of soil under the city of Huguan by 130,000 people. Yuan Shao did not believe that Zhao Yun could defend Huguan, so he took on the task of taking the lead with confidence.

After Yuan Shao returned to his army, he summoned the generals to discuss matters and explained tomorrow's combat mission, and then asked his generals who could serve as the vanguard. The three brothers Zhang Nan, Zhang Kai and Zhang Xu immediately stood up at the same time and volunteered to Yuan Shao. So Yuan Shao happily agreed and appointed San Zhang as the vanguard of tomorrow's first battle.

Huguan, shrouded in the night, looks majestic and tall, like a prehistoric giant beast entrenching in the middle of the Taihang Mountains, guarding the throat between Bingzhou and Jizhou. Zhao Yun, standing above Huguan, stared at the already blurry mountains in a quiet mood, and his tall body gradually melted into the night. If he didn't get close, he would think it was a pile protruding on the guard wall.

Zhao Yun knew very well how important the task assigned by the third brother was. Since he led the army to fight, Zhao Xing had never assigned him a military advisor, but this time he matched him with a military advisor Li Fu. He definitely did not doubt his wisdom, but just to better assist him in guarding Huguan. As a native of Jizhou, Li Fu is familiar with the characteristics of generals and soldiers in Hebei and can provide some information for reference. Sometimes he is willing to play a key reminder.

Zhao Xing only gave Zhao Yun six thousand main soldiers to the vanguard army, and asked Zhao Yun to hold Huguan tightly and prevent the Eastern Alliance from stepping through Huguan. Such a task was really cruel and ruthless, but Zhao Yun felt very excited.

The clay pots are always broken by the well, and the general is inevitably killed in front of the formation. Zhao Yun was never afraid of life and death. He only cared about helping his third brother Zhao Xing do more things, showing what he learned in his great youth, and living up to his master's expectations. In the past, Zhao Yun had undertaken battlefield assault tasks and rarely fought for battles to defend or counterattack, which made him feel lacking in challenges. This time, without waiting for Zhao Yun to take the initiative to propose, Zhao Xing actually threw the arduous task of guarding the east gate of Bingzhou to him, which made him feel warm.

Since getting married to Ulan, Zhao Yun's personality has become more and more calm and steady. In his twenties, his cultivation is somewhat similar to Jia Xu in his forties. Ulan has given birth to a boy and a girl for Zhao Yun. Before Zhao Yun makes the decision, Zhao Xing took the lead in giving Zhao Yun's eldest son a name, Zhao Haoxu. In fact, Zhao Xing doesn't need to be so anxious. Zhao Yun would never name his son Zhao Xing. It's purely because there is a guy who is guilty and always thinks about the fact that Zhao Yun's child is named Zhao Xing in history.

In addition to the chief general Zhao Yun and military advisor Li Fu, the generals guarding Huguan were also several carefully matched deputy generals, namely: Zhou Cang, Cao Xing, Liu Shi and Huang Long.

As an old man from Shangdang, Zhou Cang was the first to follow Zhao Xing under his command. His loyalty and courage were enough to take on the position of deputy general guarding the pass. Moreover, this black guy had guarded Huguan alone before, which was familiar with him.

As an old general under Lu Bu, Cao Xing later turned to Zhao Xing. When Zhao Yun was the commander of the Canglang Army, he served as the commander of the Light Cavalry under his command. He was familiar with Zhao Yun's command style and combat ideas. In addition, his strengths of archery skills are very suitable for commanding the battle of the longbow soldiers guarding the pass.

Liu Shi and Huang Long were born into Yellow Turban Rebellionists. They were kidnapped by Zhao Yun and then taken to Bingzhou by Guan Yu. They were typical "barefoot-legged people are not afraid of shoes". Because of their bravery in combat, they were ready to die. Later, they replaced Hou Cheng and Xue Lan and became the commanders of the first and third divisions of the light step. These two people have always been jealous of the military and horses of the court, and they have no idea of ​​being loyal to the Han court. They only obey the commanders of the commander of the military and horses of the court. They are the best for dealing with the military and horses of the court.

The army confronted each other and calmed the night. When the scorching sun in the morning of early autumn spread the golden light on the Huguan city walls, the vanguard soldiers guarding the junction saw the dust rolling in the distance. An army of tens of thousands of people turned their backs to the Hong Sun, and leaned towards Huguan neatly.

The central army of this army was hung high with a large flag with the characters "Yuan" in front of them, swaying and stretching in the morning breeze. Yuan Shao sat upright on the horse, located in the central army, beside him were Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and behind him were counselors Ju Su and Xu You. Yuan Shao, who sent 50,000 troops, brought 20,000 infantry from Lin County this time, and the remaining 30,000 were staying in the same place with Zhang He.

Because the terrain before Huguan is not suitable for large-scale corps combat, even if it is a dense attack formation, people are crowded to Huguan, and at most 5,000 people are rushing to the front at one time, and the rest can only be lined up behind to watch the battle. In addition, today is just a tentative attack, that is, touching the foundation of the Bingzhou defenders to create a prestige, so Yuan Shao only brought 20,000 infantrymen and a small number of large-scale equipment for siege.

When he arrived a mile away from Huguan, Yuan Shao ordered the army to stop advancing and set up his formation, he said to the three brothers Zhang Nan, Zhang Kai and Zhang Xu, who were the vanguard, and said: "I am here to watch the three generals take the lead!"

The three Zhang brothers then came to Huguan with a small number of guards.
