Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 780 Could it be that there is fraud here?

Although Sun Jing also implemented defensive measures on both sides of the main road at Guangcheng Pass, Cao's army entered the pass. Naturally, it was impossible to have much defensive effect just by relying on this temporary wall.

If Cao Jun made a move, it would have deviated from Jia Xu's initial design, and Sun Jing would have to initiate preparations in Guangcheng Pass in advance, but whether Sun Jing could get away safely is another matter.

Therefore, seeing Cao Jun passing through Guangcheng Pass quickly, Sun Jing was always nervous. Fortunately, Cao Jun passed Guangcheng Pass like this without any accident.

"Shut the door! Go signal!"

After Cao Jun had all left Guangcheng Pass, Sun Jing immediately ordered people to close the two gates, and then ordered people to set off a firework signal on the mountain next to Guangcheng Pass to let Zhu Weijun who was ambushing at Dagu Pass know that Cao Jun had already arrived. coming.

The distance between Guangcheng Pass and Dagu Pass is less than [-] miles, and it is about half a day's march from Guangcheng Pass to Dagu Pass.

Maybe during the day, Cao Jun will stop to rest, but if you notify Dagu Pass as soon as possible, Dagu Pass will naturally send out scouts to detect the movements of Cao Jun. After entering Guangcheng Pass, Cao Jun will automatically come to the door. Fatty.

As Sun Jing set off fireworks at Guangcheng Pass, a large army of about ten thousand people rushed over from the north gate of Guangcheng Pass. The leader was Pan Zhang, the general of Zhu Weizhong's military camp.

Before that, he led his troops to ambush in the mountains between the north of Guangcheng Pass and Dagu Pass. Originally, he also came to support in case of unexpected changes in Guangcheng Pass.

Of course, now he is here to help Sun Jing close the gate of Guangcheng Pass to prevent Cao Jun from escaping.

Leaving aside how Sun Jing and Pan Zhang stepped up their defenses at Guangcheng Pass, it is only said that after Cao Ren, Xu Huang, and Xu Shang led Cao Jun pretending to be the Hanzhong Army through Guangcheng Pass, they quickly moved towards Dagu Pass.

It was around noon that I came to the outer mountain area of ​​Songshan Mountain. Of course, there are official roads passing through here, and the surrounding forests are considered lush, which relieved a bit of the heat.

And Cao Ren called Xu Huang and Xu Shang to discuss the next step of Dagu Pass. For some reason, Cao Ren always felt a little uneasy after coming from Guangcheng Pass. This also made Cao Ren want to talk about his thoughts. Let Xu Huang and Xu Shang have any opinions.

"You two, scouts came to report just now. It seems that there are black smoke burning in several places in the distance in the mountains. It seems unusual! Someone thought that the Guangcheng Pass seemed to be too easy. Could it be that there are frauds here? ?”

It turned out that Cao Ren also sent scouts to explore the road ahead, and the scouts also found the black smoke signals contacted by Zhu Weijun. Although the black smoke was burning in the mountains, the scouts could not go close to explore, but they still reported the news. Gave it to Cao Ren.

When Cao Ren heard the news, he became even more worried. Thinking back to what he saw at Guangcheng Pass, Cao Ren suddenly realized that there was a strong murderous intent hidden in Guangcheng Pass, which he had clearly seen through. The smell of their tracks.

However, even so, Sun Jing, who was guarding Guangcheng Pass, actually let them pass the pass. Isn't it very likely that there is some kind of scheme hidden.

"General Cao, we sneaked up from Hulao Pass with our lord. We should not have exposed any flaws. If there is fraud, what kind of plan should it be?"

Xu Huang was a bit disapproving. After all, the sneak attack on Guangcheng Pass and Dagong Pass was Cao Cao's personal plan. Cao Cao led his army to move from Hulao Pass to Liang County without revealing any flaws.

Ordinarily, Zhu Weijun was completely unaware of Cao Jun's movements, so how could he plan to target them.

"This..., I can't say it well. Ordinarily, Zhu Weijun really shouldn't be on guard. However, many things seem to be weird, and I always feel that something is wrong!"

Cao Ren's intelligence attribute has also reached more than 60. Although he has not yet reached the standard of a third-rate military division, he can be regarded as a flexible mind. When he carefully recalled everything before, he always felt that something was wrong.

But as Xu Huang said, their sneak attack on Guangcheng Pass and Dagong Pass this time was a perfect way to hide the marching traces. It is said that Zhu Weijun didn't notice anything here, so how could he set up an ambush or something? This made Cao Ren a little bit I doubted my own judgment.

"Then, General Cao, what should we do?"

Xu Shang also asked. His status was much lower than that of Cao Ren and Xu Huang, so at this moment he was only prepared to follow the orders of Cao Ren and Xu Huang.

"Yes, General Cao, wouldn't it be a pity if we didn't go to Dagu Pass for a try! We have already passed Guangcheng Pass, so why don't we just go back and attack Guangcheng Pass with the lord's army? It’s hard to go back and attack Dagonguan!”

Xu Huang didn't know what Cao Ren wanted. After all, the main target of their mission this time was Dagong Pass. If they gave up now because of Cao Ren's suspicion, they would have to attack Dagong Pass later if they wanted to.

Wouldn't it be a pity if all of this was Cao Ren's paranoia and nothing happened.

"This... well, I still plan to cheat Dagu Pass, but Xu Shang, you have three thousand soldiers in the rear to support you, Xu Huang, you are leading three thousand soldiers in the middle, and a certain one is leading the way with four thousand troops. , go first to deceive Dagu Pass, once there is a change, then Xu Huang will stand firm and take a retreat. Xu Shang, you have to find a place to build a defense line in the rear to prevent Zhu Weijun from pursuing! Specifically, that's it! "

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Ren was unwilling to give up the plan to sneak attack on Dagu Pass. After all, everything was just his suspicion now. If he was paranoid about everything, it would indeed be a waste of a good opportunity for a sneak attack.

So Cao Ren thought about it and made a safe arrangement. Then he took out a map and made some arrangements for the valley where Dagon Pass is located. Obviously he also wanted to leave himself a way out. If anything happened, he could Pull back in time.

"No!", "No!"

Xu Huang and Xu Shang both agreed. Although they felt that Cao Ren seemed a little too worried, they still followed Cao Ren's arrangement.

So during the march, Cao Ren, Xu Huang, and Xu Shang divided the more than [-] Cao troops into three groups, separated by a distance of about one mile, and continued marching towards Daguguan.

When approaching the valley where the Daguguan was located, Xu Shang was left to guard at the mouth of the valley and did not continue to go in, leaving a way out for Cao Ren and Xu Huang.

Of course, the closer you get to the Valley where Daguguan is located, the more complicated the terrain on both sides of the official road becomes.

With Cao Ren in front and Xu Huang in the back, he was getting more and more frightened as he walked. Even in the hot summer afternoon, there was a cold wind blowing from the cliffs and valleys on both sides from time to time. , It's creepy.

Not long after, Cao Ren had come to the Dagu Pass. The towering pass city built in the valley also looked as if moss had covered the outer wall, making the whole pass city look a bit gloomy.

And above the city of Dagu Pass, two young generals were watching the army brought by Cao Ren from afar...
