Chapter 13: I’m not happy when you say this! [Please comment on flowers]

Lu Bu knew Sun Jian's ability and also knew Hu Zhen's strength, so he concluded that he would not be able to win even with Hua Xiong.

Once the war goes badly, the defenders of Yique and even the generals of the Liangzhou faction will invite Lu Bu out regardless of whether Hu Zhen wants it or not.

"Dong Zhuo had already helped him spread the reputation of"Red Rabbit among Horses, Lü Bu among Men", and now it was very loud in the Kanto area, and even vaguely spread to the Allied Forces.

Lu Bu suspected that Dong Zhuo was trying to win over people's hearts and frighten the rebels on the Jujube side. The army is a point that Lu Bu can take advantage of now.

Even if Hu Zhen doesn't want to win, he will not be able to control it. The generals or soldiers who go out to fight are just fighting for merit and wealth, and no one wants to die in vain.

Most of the bandit soldiers in Xiliang are bandits. The Kou and Qiang people were born in the rebel army, but as long as they are soldiers, they are no different.

Being able to fight on the battlefield is Lu Bu's biggest asset.

As long as he has soldiers in his hands, he is confident of winning!

"My brother-in-law didn’t even go and chop Hu Zhen down!"

"Wen Yuan was right, he really had some changes."

In the slow-moving team, Wei Xu whispered to Hou Cheng.

He gradually calmed down at this time.

"Do you think everyone is as brainless as you? We are not far from Luoyang at this time. If we really kill Hu Zhen, let alone mutiny, the Prime Minister will soon chase him!"

Hou Cheng said this, but in his heart he agreed with Wei Xu's view and confirmed this just now

"Oh, the way I looked at you just now, don’t say I didn’t have murderous intentions."

Wei Xu didn't give in at all, but he also agreed with Hou Cheng's opinion that now is not a good time.

He still remembered what Lu Bu had just said: a clown will die sooner or later.

He was slightly excited.

Lu Bu ignored the two people's murmurs, and his thoughts had drifted away..Now

Dong Zhuo is secretly suppressing him, and he cannot fully display his skills, and he feels like he has not been recognized for his talents.

Whether it is to be a sharp knife or a security captain, he does not want it.

Only by holding elite soldiers and generals to fight for one side can he command foreign troops. To be more independent, it is better to be the lord!

He has already felt the benefits of Zhang Liao, and needs more talents, especially counselors.

Then he will give himself crazy suggestions and collect rewards. Fight again to recruit counselors and finally complete the matryoshka doll.

Okay, now you need to defeat Sun Jian first...

After continuing to move forward for a few breaths, Hu Zhen suddenly ordered the army to march quickly, saying that the soldiers were so fast that they would catch Yuan Shu by surprise.

In this era, the normal marching speed of horseless infantry was about twenty miles a day, and if there was a lot of baggage, it would be less.

Of course, this must also take into account the generals. Famous generals who are good at running the army can lead the troops better.

Hu Zhen is obviously not.

The army was moving in a hurry, but Lu Bu and the more than a thousand Bingzhou soldiers in his hands were fine. They were all elite cavalry and could easily keep up.

The remaining Xiliang army was in a worse situation, with many complaints on their faces.

Fortunately, the army stopped when it arrived at Yique, probably in the evening of that day.

Yique Pass is located between the canyons of Xiangshan Mountain and Longmen West Mountain. The Yishui River flows north through it, so it is named Yique Pass.

As one of the eight gates of Luoyang, it is the south gate guarding the imperial capital of Luoyang, about thirty miles away from Luoyang.

Although it is not as famous as Hulao Pass in later generations, it is actually closer to Luoyang in terms of geographical location.

At this moment, the coalition of princes did not attack Hulao after the Suizao alliance as in the novel, but attacked from all sides. Yique, Sheyuan and Dagong Pass in the south and Mengjindu in the north were all attacked by the coalition forces.

This is obviously more reasonable. Hulao is a famous historical pass. It has always been known that one man can guard the pass and no one can open it. If the coalition of princes bets all their troops here, there must be something wrong with their brains.

The guard general of Yique is named Zhao Cen. His ability to lead troops in battle is average, and he is relatively tactful.

Dong Zhuo's military order ordered Hu Zhen to guard Yique. This was the bottom line.

In fact, Dong Jun had already controlled the northwest area of ​​Yanzhou before. There was insufficient food and grass in Guandong, and Baocang was surrounded by the jujube army. Dong Zhuo had previously ordered Zhao Cen to guard Yique, and at the same time, he was also preparing to plunder food and grass in Yingchuan.

As a result, as soon as Sun Jian came up, Zhao Cen retreated directly to Yique, losing the strategic depth. At the same time, he sent three express letters to Luoyang.

"Protector, you came so quickly!"

When he learned that Lu Bu had arrived with the reinforcements, Zhao Cen welcomed him out of the city early with a flattering smile on his face.

"He has naturally heard of the reputation of"Red Rabbit among horses, Lu Bu among men". Now that Lu Bu is here, the important task of defending Yique suddenly feels much easier.

"Where is Yuan Shu?"

Hu Zhen originally wanted to march quickly to Yangrenju and directly attack Yuan Shu, but he didn't expect to stop when he reached Yique, and he was a little dissatisfied.

"With the arrival of the Imperial Protector in person, Yuan Shu retreated to Yangren City again."

Zhao Cen took advantage of the opportunity to send out a flattery and lied at the same time.

"Hahaha......What the fourth generation and the third prince, it turned out to be a young man who ran away after hearing my reputation!"

Hu Zhen was very pleased with Zhao Cen's praise. He no longer cared about the pursuit. He got off his horse and patted Zhao Cen on the shoulder.

He and Zhao Cen both belonged to the Xiliang lineage, but the lineage of Xiliang was far and near. He was better than Zhao Cen. Zhao Cen was even more respected by Dong Zhuo.

Zhao Cen immediately recruited reinforcements to enter the pass and secretly observed Hu Zhen's expression.

Seeing that Hu Zhen was happy, he continued to tell the lie vividly:"Most of the guards did not know something, and the enemy's thief Sun Jian I do have some skills. During battles, I would charge in front of the soldiers, and all the arrows would miss him, causing me to lose two cities of Yang and Ren."

"This time he wanted to attack the city in a hurry, but Yi Que was about to lose his hold. I was so anxious that I quickly called the Great Protector to help. Guess what?"

"What's going on?"

Hu Zhen asked knowingly

"The enemy troops immediately refused to board the city. They hurriedly called for gold and retreated their troops, then retreated to Yangren City!"

Zhao Cen said with confidence

"Hahaha......"

Hu Zhen was in a state of ecstasy. He weighed more than two hundred kilograms and was almost blown away by Zhao Cen.

"Logically speaking, Sun Jian should have escaped, but the thief was very cunning. Could it be that he sent a small force to cross Yique through a dangerous route?"

"He performed extraordinary feats before most of the guardians arrived. He was indeed a great general!"

Zhao Cen had actually noticed Hu Zhen's injury a long time ago, and then he asked casually through flattery.

In fact, it was just made up. When the time comes, when the credit is reported, Hu Zhen doesn't want it in vain, he also needs a favor.

However, Hu Zhen suddenly He stopped and his laughter stopped abruptly.
