Seven days later, outside the Great Ancient Pass.

Sun Jian fought and won victories, beheaded more than ten thousand Liangzhou troops under Yangren City, and had conquered all counties and counties except Dagu Pass. At this time, the camp has been set up under the Dagu Pass, with only one purpose, to break through the Dagu Pass and go straight to Luoyang!

Hu Zhen was already frightened by Sun Jian's beating, so he huddled in Dagu Pass all day long, and refused to fight no matter how Sun Jian called for it.

Sun Jian attacked the city several times, but it was a pity that the terrain of Dagu Pass was difficult to defend and difficult to attack. After paying the price of thousands of people, a stalemate formed.

It's a pity that things are often prone to mishaps when things are going smoothly.

Sun Jianjun is about to run out of food!

In the account of the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, Sun Jian and the four generals under his command are all in the account.

"My lord, the food and grass were exhausted three days ago, and the soldiers have complained about using small dendrobium to distribute the food in the past few days! Fortunately, there has been no siege these days, otherwise I'm afraid..."

Cheng Pu didn't continue, but everyone in the account had already guessed. If this continues, there will definitely be a mutiny!

The 20,000 soldiers under Sun Jian's command were all veterans who fought with him in Jingnan. Even such elite soldiers could not bear the situation of food shortage.

"Is there a reply from Yuan Shu? Why is the food so late?"

Sun Jian's face was gloomy, and his heart was as impatient as ants on a hot pot. No matter how good Sun Jian is at fighting, how can he fight without food?

"My lord, I send two batches of people to urge the food every day, and we have sent more than ten batches today!"

If there is no more food, he can only retreat, and all previous efforts will be in vain. How can this make Sun Jian reconciled?

But there is no food right now, not to mention breaking the Dagu Pass, even self-protection has become a problem!

"Yuan Shu is really nothing. Let's go all over the world to fight for him, and fight bloody battles! He won't be enough for our soldiers and horses, and now he doesn't even distribute food!"

Han Dang has the hottest temper, and correspondingly, he has long disliked Yuan Shu.

"Okay, there's no point in complaining now, let's find a way to get through the difficulties in front of us!"

Sun Jian was also very dissatisfied with Yuan Shu in his heart, but after listening to Cheng Pu's persuasion, he has restrained himself a lot, and he also knows that the Sun family cannot get around Yuan Shu's support if they want to rise.

"My lord, the general feels that the safest way is to retreat immediately."

In fact, Cheng Pu had thought of retreating for a long time, but he didn't persuade him because he had expectations for Yuan Shu and he was reluctant to bear the results of the bloody battle for a long time.

"retreat…"

Sun Jian obviously frowned, obviously very disgusted with this proposal. The bloody battle has lasted for so long and so many soldiers have been lost. Wouldn't it be a waste of all previous efforts to retreat now!

"Wait a little longer. If no food arrives after three days, we will retreat."

"My lord, how can we wait another three days? We will run out of food tomorrow! From Daguguan to Luyang is not a few hours away!"

Cheng Pu directly refused, and Sun Jian's behavior was tantamount to sending him to death. Not to mention whether the soldiers can persist here for three days, but if they persist, how can they go to Luyang when they are hungry?

"That's two days."

"My lord..."

"All right!"

Sun Jian's expression was displeased, and even his voice carried a trace of anger.

"If the food doesn't arrive tomorrow, we'll retreat early the morning after tomorrow. That's the decision. Go down and make arrangements!"

Cheng Pu wanted to persuade him, but Huang Gai firmly held him back and dragged him out of the big tent.

"Gongfu, what are you pulling me for? There is no food in the army, how can we wait another two days? If Hu Zhen finds out about our food shortage, we will be in danger of being destroyed immediately!"

Huang Gai did not complain about Cheng Pu's accusation, but tried his best to comfort him.

"Demou, I also understand what you mean. But don't you know the character of the lord? How has his decision changed? Besides, Hu Zhen has been beaten to the point of tearing his liver and gallbladder, so he must not dare to leave the customs. I'm still waiting. Appease the soldiers, you can retreat in two days!"

Cheng Pu let out a heavy sigh and shook his head helplessly.

"Hey! That's the only way to go! I can only hope that Hu Zhen will be frightened and dare not leave the customs..."

When Dagu closed the gate, it was exactly as Huang Gai expected, and Hu Zhen was already scared out of his wits!

Under Yangren City, Hu Zhen almost escaped with his own body! Of the 25,000 troops, less than 3,000 returned in the end! Hua Xiong, the former vanguard of the army, was beheaded by Sun Jian, and the morale of the southern army was completely lost!

Luo Yang's Dong Zhuo was about to explode in anger, so he ordered Hu Zhen to guard Dagu Pass to the death, and he had already issued a death order to Hu Zhen, let him live and die with Dagu Pass!

Fortunately, the terrain of Daguguan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Sun Jian's previous attacks were all blocked by Hu Zhen's defense regardless of loss.

At this moment, Hu Zhen only hoped that Sun Jian would not come to attack, and had no intention of attacking Sun Jian at all.

If there were no accidents, Sun Jian would have retreated in two days, and Hu Zhen would not have made any moves. Unfortunately, an accident happened after all.

When Dagu closed, Hu Zhen was about to take a lunch break, but was disturbed by Lu Bu's sudden arrival.

"What's the matter, General Lu?"

Hu Zhen has changed his previous attitude. The Liangzhou army under his command has been completely lost. If he wants to defend Dagu Pass, he still needs to rely on Lu Bu!

"Captain Hu, great joy!"

Lu Bu was very excited and walked directly in front of Hu Zhen, startling the latter.

"Ah! Why... why do you like it?"

Lu Bu had a proud expression on his face, he was bound to take over the great achievement this time!

"My wolf cavalry intercepted Sun Jian's messenger asking for help. Yuan Shu, an idiot, refused to give Sun Jian food and grass, and now Sun Jian's army has run out of food! He insisted on waiting two more days before retreating!"

"Captain Hu, this is a great opportunity to defeat the enemy! Our army will go to sneak attack tomorrow, and we will definitely defeat Sun Jian. First, shame on the Xueyang people!"

When Hu Zhen heard the news, his first reaction was deceitful. He felt that Sun Jian was a cunning person, and he would never be so negligent.

"General Lu, don't fall for Sun Jian's tricks! Sun Jian is winning so many battles, how could Yuan Shu not give him food and grass? According to the governor, this must be Sun Jian's trick to lure the enemy! General Lu must not be careless!"

Lu Bu was speechless for a while, Hu Zhen was hurt by Sun Jian! The wolf riders under his command had already reported to him the situation of Sun Jian's messenger in detail, not to mention several batches of messengers urging food every day, could this be fake?

"Don't worry, Governor Hu, this is definitely not Sun Jian's plan! He just thinks that we dare not go out of the city to fight him decisively, so he dares to waste time at Dagu Pass without food!"

If you say you are not moved, it is definitely a lie, and Hu Zhen is also very eager to avenge his shame.

But what if? If it was Sun Jian's trick to lure them out of the city, gather together and annihilate them, Dagu Pass would be lost! At that time, it would be of no avail for Hu Zhen to escape with his life, Dong Zhuo would definitely kill him!

"General Lu, let's play it safe. Xiangguo has already said, as long as we guard Dagu Pass..."

Hu Zhen's wish is to guard Dagu Pass, but Lu Bu is not! Lu Bu has always been disliked by Dong Zhuo's subordinates because he is in a high position because he has no military achievements. This opportunity is too rare, and Lu Bu will never give up.

"Since Dudu Hu is unwilling, then Lu Bu will lead his cavalry to attack Sun Jian. At that time, he will make a great contribution. Don't blame Dudu Hu for not telling you in advance!"

"Let's go, General Lu, even if he has made great achievements, the governor will never be greedy!"

Hu Zhen showed disdain, is Sun Jian so easy to deal with?

If Lu Bu wants to go, just go, Hu Zhen can just watch Lu Bu's jokes!
