Ten days later, Hu Zhen, the governor of the thief-hunting army led by Luoyang, Lv Bu, the deputy governor of the thief-hunting army, and Hua Xiong, the former vanguard of the army, finally arrived at Dagu Pass with an army of 20,000.

Of the 30,000 troops this time, 25,000 were Liangzhou soldiers and horses, who were very convinced by Hu Zhen, and the other 5,000 were Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf cavalry.

Dong Zhuo's idea of ​​taking advantage of this war to integrate the two armies was completely shattered. Just after he left Luoyang, a fierce conflict broke out between the Bingzhou Army and the Liangzhou Army, and he was almost about to fight!

Fortunately, Hu Zhen was afraid of Lv Bu's bravery, and Lv Bu did not dare to attack easily because of the small number of soldiers, so there was a short-term peace between the two sides. Even so, the road to Daguguan is still full of friction!

Now that the news of Liang County had reached Dagu Pass, Sun Jian under Yuan Shu's command broke through Liang County in half a day, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Yang people. As long as the Yang people are captured again, they can go directly to Dagu Pass! If the Dagu Pass is broken again, then Nanyang's soldiers and horses can go straight to Sili, and Luoyang will have no danger to defend!

Dagu Pass is one of the eight passes defending Luoyang. The terrain is difficult to defend and difficult to attack, so Dong Zhuo has very few soldiers stationed here, only a thousand or so.

When Hu Zhen and others arrived at Dagu Pass, it was already afternoon. After careful consideration, Hu Zhen decided to rest at Dagu Pass for a day. Prepare to attack Sun Jian tomorrow morning.

In the room, Hu Zhen, who had been sleeping in the open all day long, was already exhausted, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, after so many days, he was finally able to sleep peacefully on the bed!

Hu Zhen has absolutely said that no one or anything can disturb her, and she must make up for the sleep of the past few days!

Things are always not so satisfactory, Hu Zhen who just lay down heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it!"

Hu Zhen was extremely irritable, Meimei's sleepiness was interrupted again, she got up impatiently and opened the door.

"General Hua?"

Seeing that it was Hua Xiong, the former vanguard of the army, Hu Zhen suppressed the anger in his heart for a while, and invited Hua Xiong in.

"Captain Hu, didn't I bother you?"

Seeing Hu Zhen's tired face, Hua Xiong felt a little embarrassed.

Hu Zhen glanced at Hua Xiong angrily, but finally did not blame him. Now Hu Zhen still needs to unite with Hua Xiong to fight against Lu Bu.

"No, what's the matter with General Hua? Why haven't you rested yet?"

Hua Xiong looked left and right, his face was full of hesitation, but he didn't say a word.

"General Hua, just speak up if you have something to say, why hesitate?"

Hu Zhen hurriedly urged Hua Xiong, just wanting him to leave as soon as he finished speaking, so as not to delay his sleep!

"Captain Hu, I wonder if you have heard any rumors in the army?"

"Rumor? What rumor?"

Hu Zhen frowned, not knowing what Hua Xiong meant.

"Counselor Hu, there is news from the Bingzhou Army that Lu Bu will take advantage of this battle to completely eliminate General Hu!"

"what!"

Hearing Hua Xiong's words, Hu Zhen woke up instantly, and even raised his voice several decibels!

"This house slave with three surnames is so courageous! How dare he set his mind on Ben Dudu!"

The corners of Hua Xiong's mouth curled up slightly, Hu Zhen's reaction was exactly what he had in mind.

"Captain Hu, we may have to fight Yuan Shujun tomorrow. The last general is afraid that Lu Bu, a thief, will plot against the general, so he hastened to remind the general to be careful!"

Hu Zhen clenched his fists and rattled, the soaring anger was about to be uncontrollable!

"This damned slave with three surnames dares to plot against me. I think he is tired of working!"

"Captain Hu, calm down, this Lu Bu is Xiangguo's adopted son after all!"

Hua Xiong hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him, and reminded Hu Zhen to pay attention to Lu Bu's identity.

Unexpectedly, Hu Zhen didn't care at all, but instead had a sneer on his face.

"I really thought that Xiangguo regarded him as his son! Bah! Shameless thing!"

"I don't know how the governor plans to act?"

"Hmph! Is my power as the governor just for show? This time, I will behead a Zhonglang to gain power in the future!"

Hu Zhen's eyes were constantly intertwined with hatred and killing intent, and he had already decided in his heart that he must make Lu Bu look good!

Early the next morning, Hu Zhen ordered to pack up and lead 20,000 soldiers to go straight to Yangren.

Yangren was still some distance away from Dagu Pass, and according to the current marching speed, it must have been dark when they arrived at Yangren City, so Hu Zhen did not rush on his way.

But a strange thing happened, Lu Bu behaved extremely abnormally!

Lu Bu's men were all cavalry, and after they set off from Luoyang, the two sides quarreled endlessly because of the speed of the march. Lu Bu felt that he should march quickly and engage the enemy as soon as possible. But Hu Zhen felt that if the infantry marched too fast, they would definitely lose their combat effectiveness.

Since then, the two have had more and more conflicts. No matter what orders Hu Zhen gives, Lu Bu will definitely sing against him.

I thought that Lu Bu would take the opportunity to make trouble again, but this time it was very quiet. Not only did he obey Hu Zhen's words, but his attitude improved a lot!

Hu Zhen even had an idea in his heart, could it be that Lu Bu was intimidated?

It's a pity that no matter what Lu Bu thinks, Hu Zhen has already made up his mind, this time he must deal with Lu Bu!

After marching until the afternoon, Hu Zhen finally reached Guangcheng, not far from Yangren County, where he planned to rest overnight and fight Sun Jianjian to the death tomorrow.

At this moment, Lu Bu came up.

"Captain Hu, news came from the scouts that Yangren County is desperately resisting Sun Jian's attack. If we don't go to the rescue today, Yangren County will surely fall. At that time, if we want to defeat Sun Jian, we need to break through Yangren County first." Row."

After Lu Bu said this, the only good feeling he had in Hu Zhen's heart disappeared!

Sure enough, everything is my own thinking too much! Lu Bu is still fighting against himself all the time!

While Hu Zhen was angry in his heart, his face gradually became dissatisfied.

"Then what does General Yilu mean?"

Lu Bu did not raise his opinion to confront Hu Zhen as usual, but became uncharacteristically humble.

"Dudu Hu is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, so it is natural that Dudu Hu's idea is the main one! Bu Ye is only offering some opinions according to the situation. As for how to arrange it, everything depends on Dudu Hu."

Hu Zhen looked at Lu Bu strangely. It was really not easy for Lu Bu to say these words! But Hu Zhen felt really comfortable listening, and his complexion improved a little.

"General Hua, what's your opinion?"

Hua Xiong wanted to refuse straight away, but there was nothing wrong with Lu Bu's words. In case Sun Jian occupied Yangren Yicheng and stood firm, if he wanted to defeat him, he would definitely lose a lot of troops.

"Reporting to the governor, the deputy governor's words are not unreasonable. The county magistrate of Yangren has been holding on to the city. If the Yangren fall because of our delay in rescue, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Xiangguo to explain. And I don't think we should give Sun Jian any more time, it is best to defeat him in one go."

Hu Zhen nodded. Lu Bu's words were not credible, but Hua Xiong's words were not worthy of doubt. Hu Zhen himself is also a veteran on the battlefield. After carefully weighing the pros and cons, he made a decision immediately.

"Notify the whole army, go to Yangren at full speed! Tonight, we will rest in Yangren!"
