Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 1685: Yumen Pass

No matter how tyrannical a person is, he must not be arrogant. Maybe someone who was not worth mentioning in your eyes in the past will become a fatal existence. Lu Bu learned these things from Chen Ying.

Regardless of whether Chen Ying dies, Dunhuang must be occupied. Now Dunhuang has become a more important county in Liangzhou, and the number of people in Dunhuang is not comparable to that of Zhangye and Jiuquan. With Dunhuang, not only can we control the entry into the Western Regions

The paths of various countries can also strengthen one's own strength, and Lu Bu has no reason to give up.

"My lord, if Chen Ying dies, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to occupy Dunhuang." Guo Jiada said.

Lu Bu nodded and said: "What worries me the most is Yumen Pass. If Dong Wu seeks reinforcements from the countries in the Western Regions, Yumen Pass will be in danger."

"Dong Wu is a Han after all. He would not do this easily unless he had to." Pang Tong said.

"It can be seen from Dong Wu's behavior that he is a man who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. If he is defeated in Dunhuang, how will he choose, sit back and wait for death or seek reinforcements? Since he knows that Chen Ying has surrendered to the king

, and then kill Chen Ying, and you will be ready to break with this king." Lu Bu said.

"In view of my subordinates, we can send elite soldiers to Yumen Pass. As long as Yumen Pass is controlled by the lord, Dong Wu and others will be the turtles in the urn." Li Ru said slowly.

"Wen You's words are true. There is no room for failure at Yumen Pass. Zhang He, you lead three thousand soldiers and rush to Yumen Pass overnight. It is best to convince the guards inside the pass." Lu Bu said: "The guards at Yumen Pass were promoted by Chen Ying.

, there is a high chance that the persuasion will be successful.”

"Here." Zhang He clasped his fists and said. Lu Bu's last words were clearly telling him that this was for merit. As a military general, he did not disdain those who had more merit.

"My lord, although Dunhuang is not a city with high walls and deep ponds, the garrison in the city is 8,000 strong. Unless we are eager to break through it, it would be better if our lord sends his generals to control the rest of Dunhuang counties first."

In his hands, Dunhuang became an isolated city, so the defenders in the city would definitely be panicked after learning about it, and it would be difficult to have high fighting spirit after facing the lord's army." Pang Tong said.

Lu Bu thought for a while and then agreed. Even though he was worried about the situation in Dunhuang, it was currently difficult to wrest Dunhuang from Dong Wu. Dong Wu had been in Dunhuang for many years and was a man of certain abilities. Otherwise, Chen

Ying would not die in the hands of Dong Wu, but after taking control of the counties in Dunhuang, the situation would be greatly changed.

When the remaining counties of Dunhuang were under Dong Wu's control, the defenders in the city felt at ease. However, when these cities fell into the hands of the enemy, they felt completely different.

When Dunhuang became an isolated city, would the defenders in the city still have as high a fighting spirit as they do now? Unless they were soldiers who were absolutely loyal to Dong Wu, they would have to consider their own safety, including the aristocratic families in the city.

The aristocratic family is afraid of Lu Bu, but in the face of real life and death, they often have no more choices. When the difference in strength between the two sides is too big, they have to make such a choice, just like the aristocratic family in Jizhou surrendered to Lu Bu. It is not them

They are willing to do this, but if they choose not to do so, their lives will be in danger.

The aristocratic family is powerful, and they still value their own lives.

Zhao Yun led an army of 3,000 people. After arriving at Dunhuang, he set up camp directly outside the city. There were 8,000 defenders inside the city. All he had to do was to be on guard and at the same time inquire about Dunhuang, so as to prepare for the attack on Dunhuang after the arrival of the army.

There were only three thousand enemy troops outside the city, which gave Dong Wu an idea. He was the captain of the army. However, before Dunhuang had Chen Yingzai, he did not have much prestige in the army. Now the opportunity has come.

He has not long been in charge of the army. If he can win against Lu Bu's army, he will definitely enhance his prestige in the army. Some generals who still have thoughts about Chen Ying will naturally turn to him.

Dong Wu believed that he still had some martial arts skills and was not bad at strategy. If he defeated Zhao Yun, the benefits he would receive would be huge. Faced with such temptation, Dong Wu decided to give it a go.

However, Dong Wu decided to discuss this matter with Zhao Lu. After all, Zhao Lu was the governor of Dunhuang at this time.

After Zhao Lu listened to Dong Wu's words, he remained silent for a long time and said: "General Dong, do you know why Chen Ying turned to the King of Jin instead of relying on the troops in the city to fight against the King of Jin."

"What's the reason?" Dong Wu couldn't help but ask. When Chen Ying was here, his influence in the city was naturally not comparable to that of Dong Wu at this time. At that time, all it took was Chen Ying's order to make everyone in the city

The soldiers followed Chen Ying and fought to the end.

"It's not that Chen Ying didn't want to fight against the King of Jin, but that the army under the King of Jin was too powerful. Otherwise, how could the King of Jin defeat the powerful Qiang army?" Zhao Lu said.

Dong Wu frowned slightly when he heard this and said: "Even if the army under King Jin's tent is strong, the Dunhuang army is not weak. Besides, there are only 3,000 enemy troops outside the city. If these 3,000 people can be defeated, they will definitely be defeated."

It can shock the King of Jin, and with our army's morale high, it will not be difficult to defend Dunhuang."

Zhao Lu said: "General Dong, please act according to your ability. The lives of the aristocratic families in the city are now in the hands of General Dong. General Dong must know what kind of situation they will face after the army is defeated."

After saying this, Zhao Lu said goodbye and left. Although he was now the nominal governor of Dunhuang, the power in the city was in the hands of Dong Wu. Military power was crucial to Dunhuang at this time.

After thinking for a long time, Dong Wu decided to give it a try. If he succeeded, it would bring so many benefits to Dong Wu that it would be difficult for him to resist the temptation.

Defeating the vanguard army of the Han army gave Dong Wu more expectations.

After the scouts reported the news of the vanguard army outside the city, Dong Wu felt much relieved. Judging from the news from the scouts, the enemy troops outside the city were not very tight in defense, and were even somewhat lax. Although there were some

There are hundreds of cavalry, and there are thousands of cavalry in Dunhuang City. With a thousand cavalry, it is enough to entangle these cavalry, and then the army rushes to kill, wouldn't it be very simple to defeat Zhao Yun.

However, Dong Wu didn't plan so much. Since the enemy was at such a disadvantage, if he could win a hearty victory, it would have a greater impact on the city.
