Yinhou of the Three Kingdoms

"Cao Jun attacked the city!"

Duan Yan sat up suddenly, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Come on!"

Duan Yan looked through the window and saw that the direction of Hangu Pass was burning with fire, and the sound of rapid drums and fierce shouts of killing continued to come.

"General Qi, Cao's army has entered the pass, and the soldiers are resisting!"

With a bang, the bloody soldier stumbled into the room.

"what!"

Duan Yan's complexion suddenly changed, turning pale, Cao... Cao Jun actually attacked?

……

Zhao Yun led five or six hundred soldiers who led the army to fight and retreat, guarding the opened gate, while the Xiliang army rushed towards them like hungry wolves.

At this moment, Cao Hong laughed grimly and shouted, "Cao Hong is here! Those who surrender will not die!"

"puff!"

Pu Dao brandished, a piece of blood stained his shirt, Cao Hong's rise to kill only felt the pride in his heart, and his depressed mood for several days was finally relieved.

"kill……"

In the direction of the long sword, Zuo Wuwei's army marched into Hangu Pass vigorously.

"Keng!"

"go to hell!"

Swords and soldiers faced each other, shouting to kill the sky, the panic-stricken Xiliang army was killed by Cao Jun, throwing away their helmets and armor, and kept retreating.

The Xiliang Army in Hangu Pass has [-] people. Although the number is three times that of Zuo Wuwei, they were caught off guard by Cao Jun in the middle of the night. The advantage of the Liang army is that the horses rule the roost, which is tantamount to attacking the enemy's strengths with their own weaknesses.

With the continuous influx of Cao Jun, the gate of Hangu Pass was completely opened, and Cao Cao, who was a few miles away, was now marching towards Hangu Pass with an army of [-].

Xia Houyuan led Zuo Xiaowei to the front. In terms of the speed of the march, Zuo Xiaowei was the champion of all armies.

"Hahaha... Miaocai, you are late!"

"Hmph! Leave it to someone!" Xia Houyuan snorted coldly at Cao Hong's banter, and led his troops to kill Duan Yao.

"Hey! This lunatic, General Zhao doesn't care about him, he wants to get his revenge!"

With the addition of Zuo Xiaowei's army, the Xiliang army was defeated and fled. Many people had lost the courage to resist in the face of the torrent of black-armored Cao army.

At dawn when the war continued, Cao Cao led an army of [-] to completely occupy Hangu Pass, and then Cao Cao issued two military orders:

First, immediately block the news and hunt down the stragglers!Second, change Hangu Pass to Tongguan, and call it the No. [-] pass in the world!

Chapter 8 Twelve

the next day.Cao Cao sits in the big tent of the Chinese army, with civil servants and generals on the left and right. It is Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Lu Xun, Pang Tong and other literati

.

Everyone was clearly divided, and they stared at Cao Cao sitting above with steady eyes.

"Come on! Invite General Duan up here!"

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, and a majestic momentum rushed towards him.

"Go in..."

Obtaining Cao Cao's order, the soldiers outside the tent pushed and shoved Duan Yan, and took Duan Yan into the tent of the Chinese army.

"Presumptuous! How dare you not kneel in front of the King of Wei!" Xia Houyuan's eyes were fierce, and the sword in his hand was eager to try.

"Oh!"

When the soldier heard Xia Houyuan's words, without further ado, he stepped forward and kicked Duan Yao rudely on the back of his knee. Duan Yao, who was tied up like a rice dumpling, fell to his knees with a thump.

"Oh! What is General Duan doing?" Cao Cao was so far away that he came back to his senses. He was startled when he saw Duan Yao under the tent, and hurriedly stood up and walked over.

"Bastards! Who told you to be so unreasonable to General Duan? Hurry up and untie the lonely king!" Cao Cao scolded the soldier with a gloomy face.

The soldiers didn't dare to be negligent, they watched Cao Cao get angry, trembling with fear, they hurried forward to untie Duan Yan, Cao Cao was also helping to untie the rope.

"Oh! Don't blame General Duan, the lonely king came late last night, which surprised you, General!"

Cao Cao patted the dirt on Duan Yan's body while speaking in relief.

"The general of the defeated army does not dare to speak bravely, but is willing to be driven by the king of Wei!"

Duan Yan knelt down with guilt all over his face, but he begged sincerely.

"Good! Good! Good! With the help of General Duan, the lonely king can achieve great things just around the corner!"

With a smile on his face, Cao Cao helped Duan Yan up again, and when others were not paying attention, he cast his eyes on Jia Xu.

Jia Xu noticed Cao Cao's gaze and nodded. It turned out that he had already told Cao Cao about Duan Yao's situation yesterday.Last night, Jia Xu once said to Cao Cao that Duan Yan is a tiger general. Although he is not as brave as Zhao Huang Taishi and other generals, he is from the Xiliang Army. But it can come in handy, not to mention that there are [-] Xiliang troops under his command now.

, getting it is even more powerful!

Therefore, after thinking about it, Cao Cao felt that if he could regain the [-] Xiliang cavalry, then he would not be stretched to guard the Guanzhong area by himself.

And because Jia Xu had been appointed under Dong Zhuo's command, Zhang Ji, Duan Yan and other generals were old friends in the past, so Jia Xu took the initiative to ask for orders to persuade Duan Yan to surrender.

What about Duan Simmer?In fact, as early as when Cao Cao stationed troops outside the pass, he had long thought of surrendering to Cao Cao. It was only because of Cao Cao's views on the Xiliang Army that he did not act rashly. Enter Hangu Pass.

However, after the chaos of the army last night, without waiting for Xia Houyuan to enter, he personally led the assistant officer, holding tiger charms, seals, general armor and other things, and took the lead in begging Zuo Wuwei's army to surrender. This scene today.

"Hmph! Soft bones!"

Xia Houyuan snorted coldly, despising Duan Yan very much, it is really shameful for a defeated general to surrender without a fight.

Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Cao Cao turned around and gave Xia Houyuan a stern look.

"General Duan abandoned the dark and turned to the bright. The Gu Wang is very pleased. From now on, the Gu Wang canonized the general as the Zhenyuan General, led the northern prefect, and made him a township marquis. One of them should seal the letter from the mansion. After the general returns to Xudu with Gu, he will perform the ceremony of being a marquis." !"

With a big wave of his hand, Cao Cao pulled Duan Yan to the top of the list of generals, and then stood in front of the military case, his tiger eyes sweeping across the officials.

When Guo Jia heard Cao Cao's award, he rolled his eyes at Duan Yan, and seeing his indifferent expression, he nodded involuntarily, it seems that this person is a sensible person.

Cao Cao's meaning is obvious. The general of Zhenyuan and the prefect of the Northland are all empty positions. Only the Marquis is still the title of the former Han Dynasty. Guo Jia knows that Cao Cao is brewing a new title system.
