Chapter 1069

Ding Yuan asked one after another.

"Reporting to the Lord, the troops that came to the front of the pass are only a few hundred, all cavalry, but it seems there are a large number of cavalry behind."

"But no siege weapons were seen."

Hmm?

Ding Yuan reached out and rubbed the beard on his chin.

No infantry.

No siege weapons.

Is Duan Yu here to grab the pass, or what is he here for?

"Let's go, take a look at the front of the pass."

After Ding Yuan waved his hand, he walked toward the pass of Hangu Pass, and Hou Cheng followed Ding Yuan's footsteps.

"Lord, Duan Yu's martial arts are extremely high, the Lord must be careful, absolutely do not let him get close to the front of the pass." Hou Cheng said while following Ding Yuan: "This subordinate saw his martial arts when in the Xiongnu, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as having the ability of a ghost or god."

"No one in the world can match his halberd technique."

"Even Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, the Tiger of Jiuyuan that the Lord knows, is not as good."

"The Lord should be careful and guard against it."

Ding Yuan, who was walking in front, nodded.

Ding Yuan naturally knew about Duan Yu's bravery.

In the past two years, Duan Yu has risen rapidly, and whether in the Xiongnu or Xianbei, or in Liangzhou and suppressing the Yellow Turbans, he has never been defeated.

But it's not invincible.

Didn't Duan Yu get plotted against by that Beigong Boyu in Liangzhou's Xiutu Lake last year and almost die?

"Got it." Ding Yuan nodded: "This pass is not lacking in bed crossbows and strong crossbows, and the city pass is so high, as long as Duan Yu cannot fly or escape, it will be difficult for him to come up."

"No matter how powerful he is, can he block the bed crossbows and strong crossbows?"

"The garrison in this city pass is sufficient, and the grain and grass are ready. Even if there are 100,000 troops, don't even think about crossing."

"No matter how much ability he Duan Yu has, he can only stop here."

"Besides... I don't believe he dares to openly oppose the imperial court."

While speaking, he had already arrived at the pass with Hou Cheng.

The pass was full of garrison troops.

The bed crossbows and strong crossbows on the pass had all been set up and aimed at the direction outside the city.

Song Xian and Wei Xu were also on the pass with soldiers to defend.

In addition, there was Ding Yuan's deputy general, Zhang Yang.

After seeing Ding Yuan, Zhang Yang brought Song Xian and Wei Xu to greet Ding Yuan.

"Lord, Duan Yu has increased his troops again." Zhang Yang walked up and said: "There may be troops behind."

After hearing this, Ding Yuan nodded while looking at the black-pressed cavalry outside the pass at the edge of the city battlements.

"No matter, they are all cavalry, it doesn't mean Duan Yu dares to attack the city."

"You order the soldiers to be ready, as long as Duan Yu dares to attack the pass, don't be soft-hearted."

"The imperial court has an order, if he Duan Yu dares to disobey, it is rebellion."

Ding Yuan clenched his fist and landed on the city battlement.

"Yes."

Zhang Yang bowed and nodded.

Outside Hangu Pass.

Duan Yu, riding on the black tiger, also looked at Hangu Pass in the distance.

After the 400 personal guard cavalry came out of the Hangu Ancient Road, the Xiongnu volunteers behind also gradually walked out of the Hangu Ancient Road, and nearly 2,000 cavalry were lined up in front of the pass.

The front hooves of the warhorses were uneasily digging on the frozen soil, and the hot air sprayed between their nostrils formed a faint mist.

Behind Duan Yu, the six minor generals Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Zhao Yun, Zhao Feng, Ma Chao, and Pang De followed behind Duan Yu.

The 800 Flying Bears, led by Hua Xiong, had not yet walked out of the Hangu Ancient Road.

"Lord, it seems that the Inspector of Bingzhou, Ding Yuan, has arrived at Hangu Pass before us."

Tie Shitou behind Duan Yu said.

Duan Yu on the black tiger nodded.

He had already seen Ding Yuan's flag on the pass.

No way, he had already tried his best.

But Taiyuan is clearly closer to here than him.

And the order Ding Yuan received was earlier than his.

In the era without electronic communication, this is unavoidable.

The gap in distance and time is something that cannot be made up.

Hard coming is definitely not going to work.

This Hangu Pass is known as the number one pass in the world.

The pass itself has three layers, inside and outside.

The first layer is the highest pass gate, and there is an urn city in the middle.

If the first pass gate is broken, the army that breaks the pass gate will enter the urn city, but there is another pass gate behind the urn city.

Once you enter rashly, you will be caught in the crossfire of bed crossbows, strong crossbows, and hard bows from the front and back of the city pass.

And this towering city pass is never lacking in rolling logs, stones, hot oil, and fire oil.

Duan Yu gently clamped his legs, and Xiao Hei understood and walked toward the pass.

"Lord..."

"Lord..."

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu behind him stepped forward anxiously.

Duan Yu raised his hand to block the two.

"It's okay, I'll go and say hello to Ding Jianyang."

"No matter what, we have to be polite before using force."

After hearing Duan Yu's words, Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu stopped blocking him.

And Duan Yu rode the black tiger leisurely toward the bottom of Hangu Pass.

On Hangu Pass, Ding Yuan also saw Duan Yu walking toward the pass.

What is he going to do?

Ding Yuan frowned and looked at Duan Yu.

At this time, Hou Cheng, who was standing behind Ding Yuan, suddenly raised his eyebrows and said: "Lord, this is a good opportunity."

"As long as Duan Yu comes within the range of the bed crossbow, the Lord gives an order and the bed crossbow is triggered, it is very likely to shoot and kill Duan Yu."

"Impossible!"

Before Ding Yuan could answer, Zhang Yang, Ding Yuan's deputy general standing on the other side, frowned and looked at Hou Cheng to stop him.

"Is Colonel Hou trying to harm the Lord!" Zhang Yang shouted angrily at Hou Cheng.

Hou Cheng spread his hands innocently and said: "What is this talk from Zhang, how did I harm the Lord?"

Ding Yuan did not speak; he wanted to hear what the two thought.

Zhang Yang said righteously: "The imperial court's order is to block Duan Yu from bringing troops into Luoyang."

Zhang Yang said while pointing his finger outside the city pass: "Although Duan Yu has troops at this time, he did not say he wanted to pass the pass. If we attack Duan Yu first, we will definitely be retaliated against."

"Liangzhou's troops are the best in the world. If the Lord really offends Duan Yu, will the Lord not have to face Liangzhou's strong troops in the future without the protection of this pass?"

"Attacking rashly without knowing Duan Yu's intention, isn't that giving people a handle?"

"Duan Yu is the Shepherd of Liangzhou, a high official of ten thousand stones, with ten thousand households of food, no matter how you look at it, he is the Lord's superior. Isn't your advice trying to harm the Lord?"

"It's a pity you once followed the Shepherd of Liangzhou."

Zhang Yang's words left Hou Cheng speechless.

Hou Cheng's face turned red, and he couldn't think of how to refute it after organizing his language for a long time.

Ding Yuan waved his hand. ===== CHAPTER 1071 =====
