Three Kingdoms

"Yangchang Saka Road..." Xiahou Dun was sitting in the Chinese military tent, looking at the map of the Taihang Mountains area compiled from the smugglers' little returns, and was silent.

Le Jin raided the Taniguchi military camp through the Yangchang Saka Road, but follow-up was very difficult.

Not all soldiers can be as elite as Yue Jinbuqu.

If Xiahou Dun's subordinates were asked to serve as grain transport coolies and send grain and grass to Le Jin, Xiahou Dun would not be willing to part with it.

We can only let the ordinary soldiers and civilians of Cao's army speed up, and then speed up...

However, on the Youchang Slope Road, it is not possible to go fast just because you want to go fast, especially for logistics supply vehicles. There are many sections that are difficult to pass. Sometimes the axle of a car breaks, and then all the vehicles are blocked. Unable to move on the road.

When faced with this problem, Xiahou Dun also scratched his head, until the top of his hair was almost bald.

When dealing with problems, some people will choose to face them head-on, while others will avoid them.

Xiahou Dun is obviously not a person who avoids problems, but his wisdom is obviously not enough to face the transformation of mountain roads or vehicle changes, so he can only find other ways to solve this problem.

Detour.

Taihang Baxing, there are still other ways.

Compared with other Taihang mountain passes, Yangchangzaka Road does not even have the name of a pass, which is enough to prove the difficulty of this road. Although this is the shortest way from Jizhou to Huguan, it is definitely not the fastest way, so Xiahou Dun's main goal at the moment is still on Fukou Xing.

Only by seizing control of Fukouxing can we pose a threat to Taiyuan, and have the advantage of outflanking the upper party. However, Fukouxing is not easy to escape, let alone want to transform into the shape of Xiahou... …

However, as of now, Xiahou Dun has not received any new information, and he does not know why Hu Chi'er, who has a muscle missing or an extra muscle in his head, is not a good lobbyist, but changes on the spot. Became an assassin.

Of course, we can't blame Xiahou Dun for not thinking carefully, because no one expected that Hu Chi'er would do this.

It was not Xiahou Dun who made the plan.

It was also not Xiahou Dun who was hiding to contact him.

Xiahou Dun just knew that there was such a thing.

Divorce plan.

The simplest and cheapest.

Are all the knights so united?

Xiahou Dun didn't believe it.

Because he saw too many guys in Shandong who looked like gentlemen on the surface, but were actually beasts. These people seemed to be running and shouting for the Han Dynasty, but in fact they were just because they wanted to satisfy their addiction to directing the country.

Even if you make changes to the content that these people are shouting about, you will not get approval from these people, but you will immediately hear them asking the next question...

So, everywhere in the pass, everyone is united? Absolutely impossible.

It would be best if there could really be a conflict between Jia Qu and Zhang Ji. After all, three people become tigers. If you talk too much, some people will believe it.

There are always some fish and shrimps in Guangsanwang...

But anyway, time is running out.

all the time.

Not only human time, but also God’s time.

Xiahou Dun walked out of the tent and looked up at the sky.

He must seize a stronghold in the Taihang Mountains before winter comes. Whether it is Huguan, Shexian, or even Changping, he needs someone who can station and defend. The place must not only be defended against the cavalry of men and horses, but also against the violent temper of God.

If God doesn't show favor...

Therefore, we cannot place all our hopes on God's mood. Xiahou Dun must speed up. Even when the Yangchang Saka Road is not flowing smoothly and the news about Fukouxing is unknown, he still needs to speed up his penetration to the other side of the Taihang Mountains. speed!

Zhao Da had a flattering smile on his face, and when he came in front of Xiahou Dun, he bent so low that he was almost close to the ground, "General!" Everyone is here..."

Xiahou Dun nodded and said lightly: "Thank you for your hard work." 』

"Serve the general, even to the death!" This thing is nothing, the general is so..."

Xiahou Dun was not in the mood to wait for Zhao Da's flattery to finish, and went straight forward.

Zhao Da was stunned for a moment, but he just smiled and swallowed the rest of the sentence, then nodded and followed him.

As the trumpets and drums sounded, a group of soldiers gathered outside the camp.

At first glance, it gives the impression that it is a crooked melon and a cracked jujube.

Although the banners used by Cao's army were the same and the armor they wore was the same, the nearly a thousand people gathered looked more like a group of bandits than a regular army.

In the queue, there were still some people who didn't know what happened. Maybe the laces of the Douchun were not fastened properly, and when Xiahoudun was about to walk to the front, he fell to the ground with a clang and rolled to Xiahoudun. in front of...

After a brief silence, someone in the queue suddenly laughed, and then almost everyone laughed, even causing other Cao Jun in the camp to look over.

The military academy leader in charge of the team blushed, and rushed forward with a roar, kicking the guy who accidentally dropped his helmet to the ground. Then he drew out his sword with a clang, raised it high, and chopped it down with one blow!

"Stay here!" Xiahou Dun shouted loudly, stepped forward and grabbed the military school's wrist. Naturally, this knife could not cut it off.

"General..." The military academy was ashamed and angry. He didn't know how to explain to Xiahou Dun, so he knelt down to apologize to Xiahou Dun, but Xiahou Dun pulled him up, patted his shoulder, and asked him to stand aside.

These "soldiers" are the smugglers recruited by Zhao Da and other school officials during this period of time. There are old and young, weak and strong, and some missing fingers and ears. There are all kinds of people, and how easy is it to train to become a regular soldier in a short period of time?

Remembering this means forgetting that. As soon as you remember it, you forget it. After a few days, it almost drove the military academy in charge of training crazy. Time is tight, the task is heavy, and it can only be completed without failure. When the daredevil in the queue dropped his bag and rolled it to Xiahou Dun's feet, the military academy suddenly felt as if something was broken in his heart. He felt that his life was definitely in danger, so before he died, he wanted to kill that man. The daredevil who killed him stood on his back, but unexpectedly he was stopped by Xiahou Dun himself. When he subconsciously obeyed the order and stood aside, his heart was still beating fast...

Xiahou Dun also pulled up the "soldier" who had lost his pocket, and then took the fallen pocket from the hand of the guard beside him. Then he put the pocket on the guy with his own hands, tied it up, and patted it. Its shoulders, "This piece of armor can save your life in a fight!" Therefore, the armored man must be protected as if it were his own life! Come back to the team! 』

The man nodded and walked back in a daze, not even knowing how to say thank you.

Xiahou Dun stood in front of the queue and looked around. Behind Xiahou Dun, there are battle-hardened soldiers, elites, with fierce looks on their faces, and murderous intent. But opposite Xiahou Dun, there is a team that can't even stand upright. Crooked melons and cracked dates.

Xiahou Dun took a long breath.

He has never seen crooked melons and cracked dates before. Even his previous subordinates were also such a group of crooked melons and cracked dates.

When the battle against Dong failed, Cao Cao and his accumulated retainers and private soldiers were almost exhausted, and then he was forced to go to Yangzhou to recruit soldiers, because everyone knew at the time that Danyang soldiers were good...

Danyang County has been famous for its abundance of elite soldiers since the Western Han Dynasty. It is said to be "a place where Danyang Mountain is dangerous, the people are fruitful, good at martial arts, and have noble strength and elite soldiers."

And it has been proven to be good and strong.

Li Ling led 5,000 infantrymen to advance northward from Juyan. After entering the grassland, they encountered 80,000 Xiongnu cavalry. Li Ling's 5,000 infantry fought against 80,000 Xiongnu cavalry, and were eventually annihilated because they were isolated and helpless. Their commander, Li Ling, was captured, and only 400 of them escaped back to the pass. Li Ling's 5,000 infantrymen were Danyang soldiers. At that time, they faced an enemy force ten times their own and refused to retreat, which once frightened the Huns. After this battle, Danyang soldiers became famous all over the world for their bravery and skill in fighting.

Later, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu mobilized troops from Danyang and other four counties to conquer Li Xian, who was separatist in Huainan, and finally won a complete victory. Then there was a rebellion in Wuling County, and Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty sent the cavalry general Feng Kui to attack the rebellion. The elite troops he led were also Danyang soldiers.

but……

This kind of goodness, this kind of strength, is not something that is good from the beginning. The kind of strength is the kind that can be recruited from all over the place. If you pull one on the street, you will be the hidden king...

Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun, who were near Danyang, managed to recruit 4,000 Danyang soldiers. They thought they could stand up and sing to let Dong Zhuo know how the Cao family and Xiahou family sang high notes, but they didn't expect a mutiny on the way back.

The mutinous soldiers burned Cao Cao's camp. Cao Cao was almost killed by the rebels. He killed several people with swords before finally breaking out of the camp and joining Xiahou Dun and others. Therefore, no matter where Cao Cao slept after that, he would always sleep. There must be a sword beside the couch.

As a result, they were arranged by some monkeys, saying that it was easy to kill people in their sleep!

People are forced out!

Danyang's good soldiers are those who have been trained, not those who have not been trained...

Unfortunately, there is no time.

Xiahou Dun shook the cloak behind him, letting it flutter in the wind, and then pointed to the banner above his head that represented the Han Dynasty, "You and I are both members of the Han Dynasty!" Born in the Han Dynasty, raised in the Han Dynasty! But now, the Han Dynasty has fallen apart and is in danger! 』

"If the great Han dies, the world will be in turmoil!" Xiahou Dun said in a deep voice, "I don't know you, and you don't know me!" But I am from Qiaojun, Peiguo! I remember that in the first year of Zhongping, during the New Year, the Qiaojun market was full of people! Adults, children, eldest daughter-in-law, little lady, it was really hard to squeeze in at that time! 』

As Xiahou Dun said, many people in the queue showed some knowing smiles.

Who has never been young?

Perhaps only those children who died in infancy have not experienced the taste of youth.

In the peaceful years, going to the market to squeeze in those married women was undoubtedly the greatest joy for young people to stimulate their hormones...

"But..." Xiahou Dun's voice became deeper, "But what about now?" ! There is still a fair in Qiaojun now, but what about those people who participated in Qiaojun? ! Yuzhou is pretty good, but what about Yanzhou? ! Where is Qingzhou! Even if we don’t talk about distant places, just in front of you in Zhongmu, in this piece of land right now, are there still a few people who chew the soil and cannibalize people? ! 』

Of course, most of the smugglers standing in front of Xiahou Dun were locals.

Zhongmou people.

The land of Zhongmu has been deteriorating since the great development during the Warring States Period. Because the terrain here is very special and cannot store water, the only water source is Zhangshui. The rest are seasonal small streams. As long as it is slightly dry, the flow will stop immediately. With the increase in human activities and the destruction of vegetation in Zhongmou, droughts have become more and more frequent.

Once there is a drought, digging grass roots and chewing bark are all easy modes, and chewing soil is the beginning of the hard mode, followed by a further nightmare mode...

"The big man is torn apart!" There's killing everywhere! They're all eating people! Xiahou Dun said sternly, "Every time I think of this, I think about those people who were killed and eaten. What did they think before they died?" Some of them were roasted alive, some were disemboweled, some had their noses picked out, and some were tied to wooden stakes and their flesh was cut, just to make the cut meat fresher! 』

There was silence in the queue. No one continued to laugh and joke. Even the most undisciplined and stubborn old man had a sullen face and remained silent.

The pain of others belongs to others, just like watching the fun.

Only you know your own pain.

The suffering of Zhongmou people began after the Warring States Period and continued into modern times until the birth of the Red Flag Canal...

Of course, apart from being eaten, Zhongmou people also have more horrific ways to die.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be comfortable for them to just farm at home and lie down?

"I hope that those who died tragically died with hatred and anger..." Xiahou Dun said in a deep voice, "In this way, at least they don't have to worry about or miss them, and they won't feel helpless or helpless." As for having kind thoughts and hope, that may alleviate their heartbreaking pain..."

That was truly heartbreaking and heartbreaking.

"Yes, I have eaten human flesh too. But my soldiers and I will never eat people for the sake of eating people! Xiahou Dun said loudly, "The reason why we eat human flesh is to go further!" It is to reunite this big man as one! I remember the blood and tears shed by those who died! Remember their pain! Now, their blood, tears and pain remain with us! Look, I hope we can end this troubled world and end this cannibalistic troubled world! I hope we can save future generations from living in this cannibalistic world! 』

Most smugglers are forced.

The good things in their memories and the tragedies they experienced silenced these smugglers, and also made these people no longer resist Cao Jun...

To end this troubled world...

If given a choice, who would like to live in troubled times?

A person in troubled times is even worse than a dog in a peaceful world.

After calming down for a while, Xiahou Dun raised his head and looked at the towering Taihang Mountains in the distance.

Taihang Mountain.

Like a cliff rising directly from the ground, it cuts across the north and south, isolating the east and west.

The mountains that have been lifted up due to the movement of the earth's crust are almost 90 degrees vertically upward. Even the pine and cypress shrubs that are accustomed to taking root in the crevices of the cliffs cannot stand. Only some climbing vines and moss can barely go straight up and down. Stay on the stone wall.

"If you want to end this troubled world, you can't wait or ask for it!" Xiahou Dun raised his hand high and pointed to the west, pointing to the other side of the Taihang Mountains, "Over there!" That's where you sell goods through the mountains! They don’t want the Han to unify! They were hiding on the other side of the mountain, unwilling to submit to the emperor and watch the world regain peace! Not willing! I ask you, what should you do? ! 』

In the queue, an unknown person shouted out, after a brief silence, "Hit them!" 』

"good! well said! ” Xiahou Dun loudly said yes, and the guards around him, Zhao Da and other military schools also cheered in unison, “That’s right! There is no other way but to fight! From now on, you are no longer thieves, but soldiers! He is both a guide and our colleague! You are from Zhongmou, and you are also Han people! The emperor has an edict to punish disobedience! You are our fellow soldiers, and our lives are in your hands! You must take us through this mountain together, obey the emperor's order, and conquer the rebels together! Go and pacify the world! Rewards together! Comrades! For the emperor, for the great man, and for yourselves! 』

Xiahou Dun opened his arms and roared toward the sky, "Come and fight!" Let us decide the world with one battle! 』

"war! war! war! 』

First, the guards behind Xiahou Dun roared in unison, and then the soldiers in Cao's camp also responded. Finally, these original smugglers and thieves in the mountains couldn't help but roar too, with veins exposed and foam flying from the mouth.

Xiahou Dun waved back, "Come here!" Let’s go to Zhuangxing and drink! 』

Immediately, some soldiers came up from behind with wine jars in their hands, then took out stacks of clay bowls, poured wine into them, and sent bowls of wine to these smugglers, oh, they should be "comrades" now.

When Xiahou Dun saw that everyone was serving wine, he raised the wine bowl in his hand high, and then shouted: "When I succeed, I will thank you all for my contribution and drink!" Come! Drink to win! 』

Xiahou Dun raised his head. I poured a bowl of wine into my mouth immediately, but most of it spilled on my clothes...

"happy! Xiahou Dun shouted loudly and smashed the clay bowl on the ground.

Zhao Da, who was rolling his eyes at the side, lost no time in shouting: "We are a great Han army!" 』

"mighty! 』

Cao Jun beside Zhao Da also began to respond.

"My great Han army!" 』

"mighty! 』

More people joined in, and even Xiahou Dun also raised his arms.

But unlike the soldiers' enthusiastic expressions, Xiahou Dun's eyes lurked an indelible worry.

"My great Han army!" 』

"mighty! mighty! mighty! 』

Inside and outside the camp, morale was high. Every soldier was roaring. The sound seemed to stir up the clouds in the sky, like layers of waves, crashing into the stone walls of Taihang Mountain...
