The Most Powerful Man in the World

Taking a deep breath, Huang Zhong looked at Chu Yi and said with a serious face, "Could it be true that what the lord said earlier is true?"

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

Chu Yi smiled indifferently and said: "It seems that you are also like Yuan Benchu, thinking that this king is joking."

Huang Zhong and the others did not dare to hear the words.

Chu Yi's expression was straight, and his eyes flashed a bit cold and stern: "This king has always spoken like a mountain, saying that after winning Hangu Pass in three days, it will not exceed one day!"

Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Lu Su and the others were frowning one by one. It was true that they could not think of any way to break through Hangu Pass within three days.

Just looking at the high city wall and the hundreds of thousands of troops in the city, you can see that this pass is an unbreakable pass. Unless Yuan Shao voluntarily dedicates the city, otherwise, even if it is filled with hundreds of thousands of people before this pass The lives of the soldiers may not be able to capture Hangu Pass.

It is precisely because of this that everyone expressed curiosity and doubt about how Chu Yi broke through Hangu Pass within three days, because they really couldn't think of any way to do this.

Chu Yi had a calm expression on his face, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Everyone will know when the time comes."

Seeing Chu Yi betrayed, everyone, no matter how curious they were, could only bear it. Could they still force Chu Yi to tell them what to do?

In Hangu Pass, seeing Chu Yi and others retreat, above the city wall, Yuan Shao said with a look of disdain: "Have you all heard that the thief Chu actually uttered wild words, falsely claiming to break Hangu within three days. Guan, how arrogant this is, he just treats us like dead people, can everyone bear this breath?"

As one of the princes, Gongsun Zan was a bit irritable. If it wasn't for Yuan Shao's identity, he would have scolded him long ago. Hearing Yuan Shao's words at this time, he immediately scolded: "The Chu thief is really abominable, since he is so arrogant and ignorant, then We want him to know that some things can't be done just by mouth."

Saying that, Gongsun Zan cupped his hands and said to Yuan Shao, "General, a certain family is willing to lead a large army to attack the Chu thief's camp at night, even if it is to give the Chu thief a slap in the face."

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, but he said with a worried look on his face: "Although Chu Yi is arrogant, I don't think he has any defenses. If General Gongsun goes to attack at night, I am afraid that there will be no results. "

Gongsun Zan snorted coldly: "Even if you are prepared, what if you are prepared, you just want to teach the thief Chu a lesson, so that he will know that we will not just hide in the city and let them attack the city."

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Okay, this is settled, then General Gongsun will lead the army to attack the army of the Chu bandit at night, but I want to take a look, his soldiers will not rest until the daytime. What energy is there to siege the city?"

As night fell, the closed gate of Hangu Pass slowly opened, and a group of men and horses rushed out from the pass. It was the white horse led by Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan now has several times more troops and horses than before. Among the nearly [-] troops, among the several princes, his strength is definitely among the best.

At this moment, Gongsun Zan was riding on the war horse, and next to him was a young general in white robes.

At this moment, Zhao Yun was by Gongsun Zan's side, looking at the sporadically visible firelight in front of him, his eyes showed a bit of dignified color and whispered to Gongsun Zan: "General, the army under Chu Yi's army is absolutely impossible to be unprepared. I'm afraid it will get the other party's mind."

Gongsun Zan is naturally clear about these matters, and he said with a chuckle: "What Zilong said, this general naturally knows, but even if he is prepared, this general has no intention of actually attacking his army."

Hearing what Gongsun Zan said, Zhao Yun's face showed a bit of stunned expression. Since it was an attack on the camp, Gongsun Zan actually told him that he was not going to enter the main camp, so how could he attack the camp?

A glint of light flashed in Gongsun Zan's eyes, and he looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, do you think this time the two armies are fighting, which side has a better chance of winning?"

Zhao Yun looked at Gongsun Zan with some puzzlement. Obviously, Zhao Yun could not have imagined that Gongsun Zan, who was one of the princes and was quite influential in the alliance of the princes, would ask such a question.

Zhao Yun is not stupid. Gongsun Zan asked this question, which obviously shows that Gongsun Zan seems to have little confidence in the next battle.

The comparison between the two sides flashed through his mind. To be honest, Zhao Yun himself was not very optimistic about their own side. After all, the Luoyang court was the real orthodox Han family. Even if Yuan Shao introduced Liu Xie, the emperor came out. It is also an unchangeable fact.

Although it is said that there is a shield like Liu Xie in the front, to a certain extent, the righteousness of the Luoyang court has been eliminated, but justice and injustice are in the hearts of the people. See one or two.

In addition, Chu Yi's side, whether it is a civil official or a military general, is stronger than the Chang'an court, even if Yuan Shao and others refuse to admit this, they actually know it in their hearts.

And their only reliance is that Chu Yi sent troops to conquer Chang'an, and they must cross this Hangu Pass. As long as they block the imperial army from Hangu Pass, even if they can't seriously damage Chu Yi's troops, that is the biggest victory.

After all, as long as the counter-insurgent army cannot suppress the Chang'an court, then the people who are watching from all directions will inevitably have all kinds of thoughts that should not be there.

Not to mention the rest, like Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Yu of Youzhou, these important clan officials who did not respond in the face of the great changes in the world, may not necessarily not be able to support troops and become kings on their own like Liu Yan of Yizhou.

It can be said that the battle of Hangu Pass determined the future direction of the world. Once the imperial army could not break through Hangu Pass to suppress the Chang'an puppet emperor, the world would inevitably be in turmoil.

And once the Hangu Pass is broken, the Chang'an court is broken, it can shock the world, unless some real rebels, I am afraid that few people will jump out stupidly and seek death.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Yun looked at Gongsun Zan and said, "Your Excellency, why did you say this? We are waiting for the natural danger of Hangu Pass. Even if we can't win, we are still invincible."

Gongsun Zan glanced at Zhao Yun and sighed slightly: "The key is that today the thief of Chu said bluntly before the soldiers of the three armies that they will break the Hangu Pass within three days. Yuan Benchu ​​and others thought he was joking, but as Chu Yi, he How can you make such a joke?"

Zhao Yun was suddenly startled, and the figure of Chu Yi appeared in his heart. Zhao Yun was no stranger to Chu Yi. After all, he had played against Chu Yi before. Don't look at Yuan Shao and others saying that Chu Yi was a traitor. A traitor, but Zhao Yun would not foolishly think that Chu Yi was really a traitor.

Besides, even if Chu Yi is really a traitor, he is definitely not an ordinary traitor. For such a character he can't see through, Zhao Yun is horrified when he hears Gongsun Zan's words. Is Chu Yi's remarks not joking, but stating a fact?

Almost instinctively, Zhao Yun said subconsciously: "But how could it be possible that Hangu Pass is so powerful that it could be captured in three days? It's not realistic at all."

Gongsun Zan nodded slowly and said, "That's why I asked Yuan Benchu ​​to fight. Within three days, I will walk outside the city. On the one hand, I can sit and watch how Chu Yi breaks the city, and on the other hand, I can also serve as a team. Mobility forces contain part of Chu Yi's energy."

Zhao Yun said in surprise: "Your Excellency, does the general know about this?"

Gongsun Zan said with a sneer: "What qualifications does Yuan Shao have to be that general, he is nothing more than the protection of the Yuan family's shadow. From my point of view, if Yuan Shao can really push back Chu Yi's army this time, I am afraid that he will first I'm waiting for the princes to start."

Zhao Yun is noncommittal. After all, as long as he is not stupid, he can see this, but in the face of a powerful enemy like Chu Yi, even Yuan Shao and other princes must maintain their unity on the bright side, otherwise they will not wait for them to fight. , Chu Yi has already suppressed them.

While speaking, Gongsun Zan said to Zhao Yun, "Tong Zilong, you said this to remind you not to foolishly rush into the enemy camp. Zilong only needs to be by my side."

Since Zhao Yun understood Gongsun Zan's plan, he nodded.

In the dead of night, the barracks of the hundreds of thousands of troops also fell into silence. However, the sound of shouting and killing suddenly sounded, and suddenly woke up countless soldiers in the barracks.

Many soldiers woke up from their sleep and heard the sound of killing, and subconsciously grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the tent.

In the camp, Chu Yi and the others seemed to have long expected that someone would attack the camp, and looked at Gongsun Zan and the others several hundred meters away in front of the camp.

All of them showed strange expressions on their faces. There were indeed ambush soldiers in the camp, just waiting for the raiders to break into the camp and then swarm the generals to ambush them.

However, Gongsun Zan's soldiers, who were hundreds of meters away from the camp, stopped moving forward one by one, just waving the torches in their hands and shouting loudly.

Dian Wei scratched his head and pointed at Chu Yi with a short halberd in one hand: "My lord, what the hell are these people doing, isn't he here to attack the camp?"

Chu Yi said in surprise, "What the hell is Gongsun Zan doing?"

Even Chu Yi was confused by Gongsun Zan's actions, but Chu Yi quickly said to Dian Wei: "Come on, you should lead a group of troops to attack for a while, but I want to see what Gongsun Zan has. What a plan."

Dian Wei's eyes lit up, he laughed, and immediately strode out with a short halberd, and soon a team of elite soldiers followed Dian Wei out of the camp and went straight to Gongsun Zan's men and horses.

Gongsun Zan watched as a group of soldiers and horses rushed out of the camp, and shouted extremely decisively: "The white horse is a righteous follower, salvo!"

In the blink of an eye, arrows fell like rain. Fortunately, the elites led by Dian Wei had already prepared for this, and they quickly blocked with shields. Although it was said that some soldiers were shot, the loss was not too great. The elites rushed to the front in the blink of an eye, like a torrent.

Seeing that he was about to rush into the cavalry brigade, but at this moment, Gongsun Zan shouted, and the army turned around in the blink of an eye and roared away.

Dian Wei, who had just rushed in front of him, subconsciously danced his halberd to fight, but in the end he watched Gongsun Zan and the others' backs and a cloud of dust.

"You dare not stay and fight with your grandfather Dian Wei."

Dian Wei was about to explode with anger, but Gongsun Zan walked away without a fight, causing him to lead his men to kill him without even touching the opponent.

"Ah, ah, it really pissed me off."

Dian Wei was about to lead his army to catch up, but at this moment Chu Yi's voice came: "The evil is coming, don't chase after the poor bandits, bring people back to the camp!"

Dian Wei had always been obedient to Chu Yi's orders. Although he shouted angrily, when Chu Yi gave the order, Dian Wei immediately led the army back to the camp.

Gongsun Zan's actions really made a lot of people look stupid, but some people showed contemplation, just like Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other, as if they understood something.

Chu Yi glanced in the direction where Gongsun Zan was gone, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said if he meant something, "Count him Gongsun Zan's life!"

As for the wall of Hangu Pass, Yuan Shao and others watched from a distance, but because they were more than ten miles away, they couldn't see what was going on at all. They only heard a scream of killing, and it didn't take long for them to see Gongsun Zan's department. The people are far away.

Just when Yuan Shao ordered the guards to prepare for the response, he did not expect that Gongsun Zan's men did not come to the gate of Hanguguan, but instead fled far away.

Everyone looked at each other and looked at Yuan Shao subconsciously, but Yuan Shao didn't know what to think, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

On the second day, Chu Yi lived in the tent of the Chinese army, and there was no order to siege the city from morning to night. The soldiers were not impatient. One day passed, and a new day came. It was three days away from what Chu Yi said. When there was only one day left in the city, the soldiers could not sit still.

Although they didn't report their hope, they didn't even attack the city. Once three days passed, one can imagine how arrogant Yuan Benchu ​​and others would be to humiliate them.

"My lord, please order the siege!"

Chu Yi calmly glanced at the group of people who invited the battle, put the scroll in his hand down, his eyes fell on Lu Su and said, "Zijing, go ahead and supervise the construction of an altar. I will give you one day and one night, and all the soldiers in the army will be dispatched by you, is it possible?"

Everyone couldn't help but stare at Chu Yi in amazement. Obviously, they didn't quite understand that Chu Yi didn't want to attack the city at this time, but wanted Lu Su to repair the altar.

However, Lu Su, who was named, immediately bowed and bowed to Chu Yi and said: "I will follow the order, and within one day and one night, I will definitely follow the name of the prince and build an altar!"

Chu Yi waved his hand and said, "That's the case, everyone, let's go down, the day the altar is built will be the time to break the city!"

Hearing Chu Yi say this, everyone's spirits were shocked. Although they didn't quite understand what the relationship between the construction of the altar and Hangu Guancheng was, at least Chu Yi gave them a clear goal, didn't they?

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

Although it is not a matter of time and a half to build such an altar according to the standards mentioned by Chu Yi, if it is to be repaired by ordinary soldiers alone, it is really difficult to repair it in one day and one night. Likely.

However, Chu Yi said that the entire army should directly obey Lu Su's orders, which means that Lu Su could not only dispatch ordinary soldiers, but also those generals.

Compared with the construction speed of ordinary soldiers, the construction ability of these generals is definitely worth a thousand people, so Lu Su just made a small calculation in his heart and immediately assured Chu Yi that he would be able to fulfill Chu Yi's requirements.

Lu Su has always been calm, so it is said that Chu Yi will hand over the repair of the altar to Lu Su. Following Chu Yi's order, everyone said goodbye to Chu Yi.

In the camp, Lu Su discussed with everyone, and finally decided on the location of the altar.

The altar was chosen in a spacious place, about a dozen miles away from Hangu Pass. After all, Chu Yi did not stipulate where to build the altar, did he?

In order to build the altar before the time limit required by Chu Yi as much as possible, Lu Su and others naturally hung the altar on a flat ground, at least avoiding the need for leveling the ground.

Huang Zhong nodded at Lu Su and said, "Let Huang go and fetch the cornerstone for building the altar."

Huang Zhong was the leader of the generals, and since Huang Zhong opened his mouth, the other generals naturally followed.

Not far from Hangu Pass, there are mountains and rivers, Huang Zhong and other dozen generals flew down among the mountains.

Looking around, I saw the treasured saber in Huang Zhong's hand was sharply slashed towards a hill, and in silence, the mountain was slashed down by Huang Zhong.

Dian Wei laughed when he saw this, stepped forward and stomped his foot, and the mountain top that was cut down by Huang Zhong was suddenly shaken several feet above the ground.

"Hahaha, get me up!"

At the moment when the top of the mountain fell, Dian Wei appeared under the top of the mountain, raised his hands, and lifted the top of the mountain with extreme ease.

Compared to the top of the mountain, Dian Wei's figure was extremely small at the foot of the mountain, but the boundless force easily lifted the top of the mountain and strode toward Hangu Pass.

He slashed down a few times, and each time he made a slash, a piece of cornerstone was cut off by Huang Zhong, while the rest of the generals stepped forward like Dian Wei and each held up a few square rocks and followed Dian Wei. .

It was just a cup of tea. Hundreds of thousands of stones were cut out by Huang Zhong, and the cornerstones were piled together like a hill.

The hill-like cornerstones were piled up in front of everyone. Looking at these huge stones, Lu Su's face showed a bit of relief.

Previously, he was quite worried that he would not be able to repair the altar within the time limit according to Chu Yi's request, but now Lu Su found that with the help of these generals, not to mention it was a day and a night, even for half a day, he was able to repair it. Repair the altar requested by Chu Yi.

After a rough deduction in his heart, Lu Su immediately asked Huang Zhong and other generals to return the boulders to their positions according to his command.

Pieces of boulders were piled together, and soon formed the base of the altar, which looked like an altar.

Not to mention Lu Su, even if others saw this scene, they all nodded secretly.

It only took half a day, and an altar was easily repaired by a group of people. If those ordinary soldiers were to do it, it would really take a lot of manpower and material resources to successfully repair it.

Huang Zhong and others are digging rocks and transporting cornerstones. Even if such a big movement is more than ten miles away, it is impossible to detect it in Hangu Pass.
