Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 404
The guard at Hangu Pass refused Tongguan's request for help for a simple reason.

First of all, the task of the guards at Hangu Pass is just to guard Hangu Pass. If Tongguan is lost, it has nothing to do with the guards at Hangu Pass.

Secondly, if Hangu Pass is reinforced and Tongguan is still lost, what will the remaining defenders of Hangu Pass do to stop the Yizhou army that is threatening to win?

Finally, and most crucially.If Tongguan was lost, but Hangu Pass had made preparations and blocked the Yizhou Army's attack, then the defender of Hangu Pass would have done a great job.

Anyway, no matter what, as long as there is no army, although it is not a hundred benefits, at least there is no harm.

It is precisely because of this that the guard of Hangu Pass made such a decision.However, as soon as he made the decision not to send troops, he began to have a huge headache.

Xu Rong was also in Tongguan before, but later, I don't know what kind of consideration the court was in, but when Ma Chao sent troops to Xiliang to fight Yuan Shao, Xu Rong was transferred to Hanguguan.

At that time, Hangu Pass already had a guard general, and the main general could not be removed without knowing it, so Xu Rong was only appointed as the deputy general.

Xu Rong didn't have any intention of fighting for power and profit, so he didn't say anything about being a deputy. He just trained the soldiers who guarded the pass conscientiously.

The general of Hangu Pass saw that Xu Rong had no intention of seizing power with him, so he was very relieved of Xu Rong, and even wanted to take Xu Rong under his command.

This time, the chief general also wanted to show his superiority in IQ, and also wanted to show Xu Rong his ability, so he told Xu Rong about his decision.After hearing the general's decision, Xu Rong naturally firmly opposed it.

However, fortunately, the Lord General did not tell Xu Rong what was in his heart.Otherwise, Xu Rong had to draw his knife and behead the general first.

But even so, Xu Rong followed the general all day long, explaining to the general the benefits of going to Tongguan for rescue, and at the same time expressed heartbrokenly, "If you are an official in the court, how can you ignore your robes and friendship."

"Xu Rong, you and I are loyal ministers of the imperial court. We should abide by the imperial court's transfer order. Now the imperial court has not issued an order. If we transfer troops without authorization, wouldn't it be suspected of treason?" "Spirit", he should be heartbroken, wishing he could dig out his loyalty to the imperial court on the spot.

When Xu Rong saw what the general said, how could he not understand that the general had made up his mind not to send troops. "Since this is the case, general, if you go to Tongguan by yourself, you won't be suspected of treason, right?"

At this time, Xu Rong was really angry. He didn't even call the general by his first name, but just called him "general".Xu Rong made up his mind at this time: Tongguan must go.

Seeing that Xu Rong was so determined, the lord did not obstruct Xu Rong's decision.To be honest, the general was extremely tired of being entangled by Xu Rong these days.At this time, the general also wished that Xu Rong could leave immediately.

"Since General Xu Rong insists on this, how can I really let the general go to Tongguan alone? How about this? This general will send five hundred soldiers to General Xu to obey General Xu's orders." The general looked at Xu Rong. , with an expression of "I want to go too, but I can't help myself".

Xu Rong was disdainful towards the general in his heart, but at least he returned the five hundred soldiers, so Xu Rong also saluted the general before turning around and leaving to take over the five hundred soldiers given by the general.

After seeing Xu Rong leave, the lord general had a hint of confusion in his eyes.Once upon a time, I was like the person in front of me!But after that, the chief general's eyes regained his clarity. Being a central general is not suitable for his old self after all.Although Xu Rong is quite old.

And just after Xu Rong finally got five hundred soldiers from the general, Tongguan was in dire straits at this time.

From the fourth day onwards, Ma Chao often went into battle in person.The soldiers in Yizhou saw that their lord was so desperate, so why should they cherish their lives?

After a few days, although Tongguan has not been breached, it is already crumbling like a leaf in the autumn wind.

Once again, Qu Yi, covered in blood, was helped from the city wall to Fazheng's camp by his personal guards.

"Mr. Xiaozhi, if there is no reinforcements, we will not be able to hold on tomorrow." Qu Yi looked at Fazheng, who was frowning in the tent, and said out of breath.

Fazheng looked at Qu Yi's appearance, and immediately frowned even tighter. "General Qu, can't you really hold on for another day?"

Judging from this time, if the imperial court really got the news, at most three days later, the imperial court's soldiers and horses would arrive.As long as Qu Yi can hold on for another day, then Fazheng's back-ups can at least kill the Yizhou army's effort for two days.

At that time, as soon as the imperial court's soldiers and horses arrive, Ma Chao's Yizhou army will fall short.

Hearing what Fazheng said, Qu Yi immediately grinned wryly, but this time he accidentally pulled the wound on his body, and Qu Yi's mouth suddenly became wider.

Seeing that Qu Yi was like this, Fazheng understood what Qu Yi wanted to say without waiting for Qu Yi to give an answer.

"Forget it, if Tongguan is breached, what's the use if I still keep that hand?" Fazheng said without waiting for Qu Yi to open his mouth.

When Qu Yi heard what Fazheng said, he immediately forgot about the wounds on his body and his eyes were filled with light. Tomorrow, he must make the Yizhou Army look good.

But at this time, Ye Mo had already left Luoyang, with only Dian Wei by his side.

"My lord, since Tongguan is dangerous now, why don't you bring more soldiers?" Dian Wei drove the carriage, with his back to Ye Mo, his tone was very puzzled.

At this time, Ye Mo was leaning in the carriage, eyes slightly closed, and said: "Even if you take more people, what's the use?"

At this time, Ye Mo also had a rare understanding of the situation in Tongguan, and then he despaired of Tongguan.In that case, how could it be possible to hold on?

As for thinking of an idea to solve the crisis in Tongguan, it's better not to joke.At this time, Ye Mo only had a brief understanding of the situation in Tongguan, and felt that it would be a fool's dream to rescue Tongguan.

At this time, Ye Mo didn't even think about how to break the situation.Even the system is not invincible. In this situation, how can Ye Mo feel that he can solve the problem?
When Dian Wei heard Ye Mo say this, his eyes flashed, and he thought to himself: "The lord is the lord, as long as there is a plan, the Yizhou army outside Tongguan will be wiped out."

Thinking of this, Dian Wei couldn't help his blood boil, and even drove the car a lot faster.
