"General Yan, don't worry. I have heard from my lord that Xu Rong is a rare general. If we attack rashly, our army may not be able to get it cheap." Ju Shou, who was the military adviser of this trip, warned Yan Liang. And tell him about the geographical situation of Hulao Pass, outsmarting is the best policy.

"Ju Zong is right. Hulao Pass is difficult to attack, and now Xu Rong is guarding it, like a tiger in a mountain forest. Instead of attacking by force, it is better to find a way to outsmart it."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shao looked at Yan Liang with high hopes and said, "As my arm, you will be alone in the future sooner or later. I hope you will not only be reckless in the future, but use your brain more in everything."

Yan Liang, a rough and reckless martial artist, is not like a high-ranking person who doesn't show his emotions and anger. When he heard that the lord thinks highly of him, his face was already full of excitement, and he clasped his fists and replied loudly: "The general will definitely study hard. Bear the high hopes of the lord."

Yan Liang's reaction was expected by Yuan Shao, he gave a slight "hmm", nodded and said, "During this trip, if you have time, you can ask Ju for advice and study."

Yan Liang agreed readily, and then he thought of a problem, and he couldn't hide his stuff, so he asked again: "If Xu Rong still refuses to surrender after three days, what should we do?"

Yuan Shao and Jushou looked at each other, and Jushou said for Yan Liang: "Then there is General Laoyan, who has gone to fight day after day."

Yan Liang responded with a full mouth, speaking with great confidence:

"Ju Zong, I may not be as good as you when it comes to brains, but in this one-on-one fight, apart from Wen Chou, only Lu Bu can slightly overwhelm me."

Now, everyone in the world knows that Lu Bu has left Dong Zhuo's camp.

Among Dong Zhuo's generals, Yan Liang has no fear of anyone.

Seeing that Yan Liang is full of confidence, Ju Shou is also very happy in his heart.

Through the open tent door, Yuan Shao looked towards the southeast, and murmured in a low voice: "Meng De, you should have arrived at the Yuanyuan Pass. Next, it's up to you."

As one of the eight passes in Luoyang, Shenyuanguan is the gateway to the southeast of Luoyang. It is located on the Shenyuan Mountain at the junction of Yanshi, Dengfeng, and Gongyi. It is the shortcut from Luoyang to Xu and Chen.The pass is at Eling Ban, between Taishi Mountain and Shaoshi Mountain. The road is dangerous and narrow, with twelve bends and circles.

On this day, a well-equipped team rushed to the foot of the mountain.

In the dense forest, a vigorous figure rushed out, walked up to the leading general, and reported in a low voice: "Meng De, all the sentries at the foot of the mountain have been eliminated, and none of them slipped through the net."

Cao Cao, who was wearing light armor, nodded, and gave Xiahou Dun an approving look with small eyes.

Getting off his horse, Cao Cao glanced at the mountain, then turned his head and shouted at the soldiers behind him: "You guys, follow Cao—climb the mountain and break through the pass!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

On the Shenyuan Mountain, the Shenyuan Pass stands on the edge of danger.

The guard here is named Hu Gan, and he is also one of Dong Zhuo's confidants.

When Hu Gan first came to Zhiyuan Pass, he was still conscientious, but after a long time, he became a little impatient. It was really boring to guard this lonely mountain pass, so he began to drink and have fun all day long.

Lieutenant Shi Yan repeatedly advised Hu Gan, saying that drinking was a mistake.

Hu Gan didn't take it seriously, instead he took Shi Yan to drink together, hooked his shoulders, and vomited bitterly: "Brother Shi, it's only our brothers who are suffering, and we were assigned this hard job. Exiled to this mountain in Yuanyuan, Don't talk about people, ghosts can't even see a single one. Look at Niu Fu, Li Jue, those people, aren't those people who follow the Grand Master, drink fine wine, and play with the beautiful women of those rich families!"

"Back then, we used to gallop on the battlefield with the Grand Master, but now we are rewarded for meritorious deeds. Why should they eat and drink hot food, and I should guard this broken mountain! I don't accept it!"

"Teacher, he... is biased!"

With the help of alcohol, the drunken Hu Gan expressed great resentment and dissatisfaction in his heart.

Day after day, year after year.

The green hills are still the same, Hu Gan has been guarding the Yuanguan Pass for a year, and he has drunk up many jars of wine.

"General, the sentry at the foot of the mountain hasn't come back to report today. It's been more than an hour. Could something be wrong?" Shi Yan hurried over to find Hu Gan.

In the past, there were delays in reporting, but it would never exceed an hour. Today, it has been more than an hour, and there is no news from the mountain, which makes Shi Yan feel faintly uneasy.

He suggested to Hu Gan: "General, do you want to send someone to have a look?"

Hu Gan, who was hugging the wine jar, had a flushed face, hiccupped, waved his hands and smiled casually: "I said Brother Shi, you are just too worried, and even a trivial matter can make you uneasy. Think about it, we have been guarding this Yuanguan Pass since the Grand Master entered Luoyang, how long has it been? When did something go wrong?"

"But……"

"Don't be a fool, you, just put your heart in your stomach. Those thieves in the Kanto are not fools, who would come to us without thank you."

…………

Just after noon, Cao Cao, who climbed carefully all the way up, stopped at the foot of the Yuanguan Pass. Looking along the steep cliff, he could already see the dangerous pass built on the mountain.

Xiahou Dun led his men to put on the clothes of the dead guards, and said to Cao Cao, "Meng De, I'm going."

Cao Cao nodded, his tone was very dignified: "Be careful."

Xiahou Dun let out a 'huh' and walked towards the gate with a dozen soldiers.

As the Yuan Pass was closed, the soldiers guarding the city were sitting against the wall, and those who were drinking and drinking were gambling and drinking, their faces were flushed.

As the saying goes, a raging soldier, a raging nest.

Hu Gan is like this, and it is inevitable for his soldiers to look like this.

Hu Gan knew early on that the soldiers were drinking and gambling, and not only ignored them, but sometimes mixed them in to have fun with the people.

When Xiahou Dun came to Guanxia, ​​he naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers in the city.

The centurion who was raising his fist glanced down, and without asking the name of the password, he greeted with a drunken smile: "It turns out that the brother who patrolled the mountain has returned, come here, come up and have a drink..."

Crash.

At the critical moment, five strong soldiers rolled up their sleeves, exerted strength at the same time, pulled the iron chains as thick as arms, and slowly opened the door.

There is no river on the mountain, so there is no suspension bridge.The gate here has also been changed into a heavy gate, which can be opened and closed by pulling up and down, in order to prevent someone from forcibly breaking through the gate.

The gate opened, and Xiahou Dun walked in without the slightest hesitation.

His task is very simple, to kill and scatter the city's top soldiers, and open the gate to let Cao Cao's army enter.

After sneaking into the pass, Xiahou Dun walked towards the head of the city.

Along the way, I don't know whether they were too successful in their disguise, or the soldiers in the city were too lazy to take their guard lightly.

In short, no suspicion was aroused by anyone.

Stepping up the stone steps, you will be at the top of the city.

"Which military marquis are you under?" Suddenly, a soft voice came from behind.

Shi Yan came from Hu Gan, and wanted to see if the sentry soldiers had returned, but happened to meet Xiahou Dun and the others.

These people wore the uniforms of the Xiliang Army, but they were full of guard.In his own territory, there shouldn't be such precautions, so Shi Yan asked.

With his back to Shi Yan, Xiahou Dun's eyes were cold, and he turned around with murderous intent.

"This general, we are sentry soldiers at the foot of the mountain. We just came back." Xia Houdun lowered his face, trying not to let himself be recognized by this person, and walked over slowly while talking.
