Cao's army returned from a crushing defeat at Wuguan. Although the war at Hanguguan had not yet begun, the confrontation had already taken shape.\\[]

First release\\

Twenty miles from Kanto, Zhang He and Chunyu Qiong each led their troops to station, one in the south and one in the north, forming a junction that could help each other.

Hangu Pass is not located at a high place, but in the valley, the towering Guancheng guards the throat of Guanzhong.

The defense measures outside the pass are very in place, with extreme resistance.

First there are trapped horse pits in gullies, then there are dense horse-repelling guns, and then there are built outer walls. There are sentry towers inside and outside the city, and crossbows stand side by side on the city tower.

Zhang He and Chunyu Qiong have arrived at Hangu Pass for several days. They only yelled and scolded in front of the pass and did not order to attack the city. It seemed that their yelling was just to go through a formality.

Before the Cao army in Wuguan was defeated, Zhang He and Chunyu Qiong did just put pressure on Hangu Pass and had no intention of attacking the city immediately.

The strategy between Yuan and Cao was to attack Wuguan in a surprise attack. After the fall of Wuguan, the military power of Hanguguan would be greatly reduced because they wanted to return west to rescue Sanfu.

Chunyu Qiong wanted to fight, but Zhang He tried his best to dissuade him.

Zhang He had to wait until the war report of Wuguan before making a decision.

But he did not expect that after waiting for several days, the Wuguan side sent news of the defeat of Cao's army. The Xiahou brothers, who were defeated by the remnants, were still unable to advance in Wuguan.

Hangu Pass is the garrison of Zhang Liao. Although Jia Xu took the post of military advisor General, he did not interfere in any military deployment of Zhang Liao.

Jia Xu is like a leisurely elder, playing chess and reading books in the military camp tent every day, leisurely.

On this day, Zhang Liao brought Guo Jia's handwritten letter to the tent. Jia Xu still knelt down calmly, with a chessboard in front of him. After pinching the black piece with his hands, he pinched the white piece and thought for a while and then fell down.

"The military advisor is really intrigued."

Zhang Liao came to Jia Xu with a smile, knelt down, took the white piece, looked at the chess situation, and waited for Jia Xu to fall into a black piece.

Jia Xu smiled faintly and asked, "It seems that the first battle has been won. What are the lord's instructions?"

Zhang Liao's eyes were on the chessboard and replied softly: "The lord said that Yuan Shao will order a fierce attack on Hangu Pass next, so that we can take strict precautions, and at least delay Yuan Shao's army for fifty days."

Since Cao's army was defeated at Wu Pass, Yuan Shao would definitely order a forced attack on Hangu Pass and delay it. Yuan Shao's daily consumption is astronomical.

Hangu Pass is located in the valley, and it is as dangerous as Han. From Wushan to Tongjin in the east, it is commonly known as Hangu, and it is known as Hangu. It is known as natural danger. The pass is located in a deep and dangerous valley with a dangerous terrain. It can only accommodate a carriage in the narrow area. The so-called "cars do not have square tracks, and horses do not reincarnate together." Moreover, due to the undulating hills in this section of the Yellow River Basin, Zhongtiao Mountain, Wushan, etc., the bottom of Hanguan Valley has become the only east-west flat passage in the nearby area, and naturally becomes a military rush.==

Once Qin State relied on the geographical advantage of Hangu Pass to resist the coalition forces of the six countries. The title of Hangu Pass was not a false reputation.

"Zhang He, Chunyu Qiong, General thinks these two people are the enemy of this battle?"

Jia Xu is always lukewarm. No matter how scheming or scheming is, at his age, he will be considered a perfect result. His mood will not be very ups and downs. Even if it is an accident, it will only cause a small amount of results.

o Lan.

Zhang Liao raised his head thoughtfully, looked at Jia Xu, and whispered: "Of course it's Zhang He."

In terms of status, Chunyu Qiong is superior to Zhang He, and his weight in front of Yuan Shao was also better than Yuan Shao. However, Zhang Liao only knew that Zhang He was taken out and was valued by Han Fu when he pacified the Yellow Turban. Later, Yuan Shao took over Jizhou and changed to the Mén Court.

Chunyu Qiong, except for his higher political capital, has no outstanding results.

In terms of war, Zhang He should be better than Chunyu Qiong.

This is Zhang Liao’s view.

After hearing this, Jia Xu did not comment and said lightly: "Since that's the case, then we will eliminate the person Zhang He, whom General Zhang He, regarded as a great enemy."

Zhang Liao was surprised and then expressed his joy in his face, asking, "Does the military advisor have a clever plan to get rid of this person?"

Jia Xu smiled and shook his head and said, "A little trick can solve the situation in front of you, but it cannot eliminate future troubles forever."

Whether it is to solve the urgent problem or to make a plan for one and for all, Zhang Liao felt that the more the better, so he immediately humbly asked Jia Xu what to do.

Yuan Jun’s camp south

Chunyu Qiong received an order from Yuan Shao from Luoyang and ordered him to fight quickly and take down Hangu Pass as soon as possible.

"Go and invite General Zhang to come to my account to discuss matters."

Chunyu Qiong sat in a high position and waited for Zhang He to arrive.

From the north camp to Chunyu Qiong's tent, a talented and confucian man greeted Chunyu Qiong with a gift and then took a seat.

Chunyu Qiong did not say nonsense and handed Zhang He the military order sent by Yuan Shao.

Zhang He frowned while looking.

Hangu Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so there is no need to prove it.

When the seven heroes of the Warring States Period were established together, the six-nation coalition forces failed to conquer Hangu Pass and destroy Qin. It was difficult for him and Chunyu Qiong to conquer Hangu Pass.

However, the situation cannot be generalized. Guo Jia only has 80,000 soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, and only 70,000 can be mobilized. Hangu Pass can at best have only 60,000 soldiers and horses.

As long as Guo Jia's troops are consumed completely, Hangu Pass will naturally be able to be taken down.

Yuan Shao came with 200,000 troops. Cao cào had the help of 50,000 troops. One side had to be cannon fodder. Cao's army was defeated in Wuguan. How much cannon fodder play and how much Taiping army was consumed? One thousand or three thousand?

Zhang He didn't know about this.

He only knew that even if Yuan Shao had 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack Guanzhong, even if he had been defeated, it would be a miracle that he could have 100,000 soldiers and horses left.

"How does General Chunyu plan to act?"

Zhang He asked Chunyu Qiong tentatively.

Chunyu Qiong smiled indifferently and said, "I will order a forced attack on Hangu Pass tomorrow. I heard that Zhang Liao is the one who is in charge of Hangu Pass. Huh, the unknown junior is not worth mentioning. Within ten days, our army's banner will definitely be erected on the Hangu Pass Tower."

Compared with Chunyu Qiong's resume, Zhang Liao is indeed hard to match.

Zhang He frowned, and Chunyu Qiong's arrogant attitude was not a good sign.

He did not argue and persuade him, because it was all futile.

Turning around silently left the camp, Zhang He planned to see the situation tomorrow before making plans.

If Zhang Liao really doesn't know how to go out of seclusion to fight, then he would like to hear about this situation.

However, this may be very small, especially when you see Zhang Liao's defensive deployment outside Hangu Pass, it cannot be said that it is perfect, but after all, there are many obstacles.

Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao, who defeated Lu Bu a few years ago.

Zhang He returned to the camp with great worries, and he was full of bitterness. He was a hero in Yuan Shao.

At least he is a general who will definitely make an indelible contribution to the attack on Gongsun Zan.

But Yuan Shao's position in his heart was very embarrassing.

Even Chunyu Qiong is not as good as that.

Yuan Shao had a grudge against him, the fundamental reason was that Zhang He led the eleventh corps of the Horoscope, which Yuan Shao had high hopes, was beaten to death by Gongsun Zan's white horse.

The elliptical soldiers, heavy armored soldiers, will be the best if they are fighting between infantrymen.

However, the elliptical soldier with slow mobility faces the White Horse Yicong, who is good at controlling strings, and is confused by the cavalry on the battlefield. Not to mention hurting the enemy, he can't even touch the opponent's clothes. It's really beyond the reach. On the other hand, the White Horse Yicong can ride well, and can kill such heavy infantry at medium and short distances.

This is a conflict between the troops and has nothing to do with the ability of the commander.

But Zhang He was displeased by Yuan Shao in this way. He said a hundred words to Yuan Shao, which was no match for others, Guo Tu, Xu You, and Chunyu Qiong.

He was dissatisfied.

What qualifications does Chunyu Qiong have to be domineering to him?

A general who indulged in drinking excessively in the army simply insulted the word general

Back then, Chunyu Qiong and Yuan Shao were ranked together with the eight lieutenants of the West Garden, and on par with Yuan Shaoping. Later, they followed Yuan Shao to Hebei to conquer the world. With this, it was understandable that Yuan Shao trusted Chunyu Qiong with kindness.

Zhang He dared not speak out because he did not have enough qualifications and did not have the confidence to attack Chunyu Qiong, let alone command Chunyu Qiong.

Before Zhang He had applied to join Han Fu's army to attack the Yellow Turbans, Chunyu Qiong was already the Imperial City Captain at the foot of the emperor. Let's take a look at the people among the eight lieutenants in Xiyuan that year, Jian Shuo, Cao cào, Yuan Shao, and Chunyu Qiong, the other four were not unknown people.

How could Zhang He compare with Chunyu Qiong?

The next morning, the entire Yuan army was dispatched, and the troops were knocked on Hangu Pass.

Chunyu Qiong was full of energy and rode his horse in front of the formation. This time he brought Yuan Shao's military orders to fight, not to build momentum.

"Children Zhang Liao, if you are a man, go out of the city to fight. Don't be a turtle that makes you laugh hahahahaha"

Chunyu Qiong's words and intentions were obvious.
