The temptation of the jade seal Bang bang bang One by one, the bags were thrown under the wall, and the bags were piled higher and higher, and soon they were piled up more than a foot high.
The space in the pass is narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but compared to those city walls that are miles long, it is much easier to fill the wall with soil, all the soil bags are attached to the cliff wall, piled up in the space about 30 meters wide on the left side of the gate, there are thousands of soil bags at a time, and the speed of piling up is very fast.
When Xiahoudun reacted, the mound of soil under the entire wall had been piled up more than three zhang high, and the frightened and angry Xiahoudun hurriedly ordered the Cao army to release arrows, but it was to no avail, because the Gongsun army was passing the soil bags like a baton, and the soldiers of the Gongsun army who were in the front were all hard-working rattan armor soldiers, and they did not attack the dead end at all with their heads down.
Later, Gongsun Bai simply asked the soldiers to retreat, and directly threw the dirt bag with a trebuchet, Xiahou Tang on the Guan Lou saw that the mound of soil was getting higher and higher but helpless, and Gongsun Bai seemed to deliberately want to toss Xia Hou Dan, seeing that the mound was less than a zhang high from the battlement of the Guan Lou, but he still had no intention of sending troops.
Xiahoudun knew that the general trend had gone, and had no choice but to lead the crowd to retreat down the gate, which he worked hard to call the second line of defense of Tongguan, but was taken down by the Gongsun army bloodlessly.
Behind Gongsun Bai, Hao Zhao sat on horseback, looking at the scene in front of him, his face was speechless and shocked.
Gongsun Bai looked back and smiled, and looked at Hao Zhao and said: "Bo Dao, see no, as long as the thinking does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties, and it is not possible to close the wall in a mere country."
Hao Zhao lowered his head, thoughtfully, and did not speak.
These days, Gongsun Bai has been treating him with courtesy, except for sending a thug to take care of him, he has not tied him up or put shackles on him, and has not treated him as a prisoner at all, which still has a great impact on Hao Zhao's heart.
Hao Zhao has been following the Cao family for many years, and only recently has he been favored by Xiahoudun, but he knows that this is because Cao Pi has no generals under him, and those once majestic and famous generals either followed Cao Cao or Gongsun Bai, so he can be reused as a young general with an unknown name.
But Gongsun Bai is not, today's Duke Wei can be described as a real commander of thousands of horses, thousands of horses like rain, and countless military generals.
There are not only 10,000 enemies like Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Tai Shici, but also generals like Zhang Liao, Zhang Jaw, Gao Shun, Xu Huang, Le Jin, and Yu Ban, as well as Guo Jia, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Jia Xu, Sima Yi, Xun Yu, Xun You, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Tian Yu and other Wang Zuozhi, compared to it, he Hao Zhao is indeed nothing, and he is indeed flattered to receive this courtesy.
What touched him even more was that not only Gongsun Bai treated him with courtesy, but other ministers and generals were also very polite, including Zhou Cang, who was attacked by him, and he was polite from the bottom of his heart.
Wei Gong is not only Wen Tao Wu strategy, but also has immortal arts, and his ability to recognize people is also unparalleled in the world, all the people that Wei Gong values must have extraordinary ability, and he has tried and tested.
It's just that Hao Zhao has a hurdle in his heart after all, a hurdle that can't be overcome, this hurdle is that the Cao family is still there, he can't turn his back on the enemy and join the enemy, otherwise it will be unjust, and this hurdle also exists in the heart of Liang Xi, who is also a prisoner.
Gongsun Bai naturally understood this truth, but he didn't force them.
After breaking through Tongguan, Xiahoudun led his army to retreat to Zheng County.
After breaking the last barrier of the sword pointing at Chang'an, Gongsun Bai was not in a hurry to advance, but rested in the Tongguan area for a few days, reorganized the soldiers and horses, and then continued to march westward.
The sky and the earth are vast, the north wind is howling, the grass is withered and the sky is in the sky, and it is so cold that it drips into ice when it enters the pass of the wax moon.
And Cao Pi's heart is even colder.
The news of the destruction of Tongguan soon spread to Chang'an, and the panic spread everywhere like a plague, of course, only among the soldiers of the Cao army, and for ordinary people, they may have been looking forward to this day for a long time.
After the exploitation of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, and the rebellion of Li Yu and Guo Yan, Guanzhong has long been dilapidated, and it is no longer the prosperity and wealth of the 800 miles of Qinchuan that supported the Great Qin Empire, but the wealth of the Central Plains and the north makes the people of Guanzhong envious, and they can't wait to return to the rule of Wei as soon as possible.
Tongguan as the last barrier of Chang'an has been breached, Cao Pi knows in his heart that the embattled situation has been formed, although Chang'an City thanks to the blessing of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru back then, the repair is solid, but Gongsun Bai Lian Tiger Prison, Hangu and Tongguan three world's Xiongguan have been broken, and I am afraid that if Chang'an City cannot be broken, even if it cannot be broken, the siege can besiege Cao Jun.
At this time, Cao Pi still held 70,000 or 80,000 foot soldiers and more than 7,000 tigers and leopards in his hands, but Cao Pi understood that these soldiers and horses could compete with any other princes, but in front of Gongsun Bai, it was not enough to see at all, and Gongsun Bai's 30,000 elite horses alone were enough to rush and crush him without any suspense, after all, the huge difference in combat effectiveness and equipment was there.
Cao Pi locked himself in his room, and the utensils in the house were chopped up by him, and they were all over the place, until Cao Ren asked to see him.
At this time, Cao Pi, a personable, handsome and elegant young man, had become bearded, disheveled, haggard, and his eyes were dull.
If Xiahoudun is like a father to Cao Pi, then Cao Ren is Cao Pi's father.
Seeing Cao Ren, Cao Pi's eyes finally showed a glimmer of light, and he choked up: "Uncle, save me" This young man, who is only seventeen years old, has not yet reached the level of eloquence and strategy of adulthood in history, and is helpless in the face of Gongsun Bai's fierce and aggressive offensive.
Cao Ren sighed slightly, and said with difficulty: "The only way to do this now is to ask for help from Xiliang Ma Teng."
Ma Teng and Han Sui led the Qiang people, under the command of no less than 50,000 standing cavalry, if it enters the state of combat readiness, can raise 100,000 Qiang cavalry, Ma Teng's son Ma Chao, is even more invincible, quite Lu Bu's style, if he comes to help, then maybe break the Gongsun thief army" Cao Pi's eyes showed a bright light, and then it dimmed again: "Now that Gongsun Bai is menacing, I don't have a deep relationship with him, how can I easily send troops to help me."
"I expect Ma Teng to come, Gongsun Bai's trend of sweeping the world has been achieved, the so-called lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if the lord is defeated, Gongsun Bai will definitely deal with Ma Teng and Han Sui next.
What's more," Cao Ren paused here when he said this, and then said, "There is still something in the master's hand, which will definitely make Ma Teng quite interested." ” Cao Pi asked suspiciously, "What is it?"
Cao Ren said slowly: "Inherit the jade seal of the country" The jade seal of the country, according to legend, carved by the He's Bi, is a symbol of the throne, after the rebellion of the ten permanent servants, fell into the hands of Sun Jian, yes, Sun Jian was therefore intercepted and killed by Liu Biao on the road, and the feud between the two families of Sun and Liu was later presented to Yuan Shu by Sun Ce, and then returned to the hands of Liu Xie after the emperor was killed, and it was originally considered to be returned to the original owner, but Liu Xie was killed, and the jade seal fell into the hands of Cao Pi.
Cao Pi's expression was pale, and then he asked like a cut: "Kehu" Cao Ren said in a deep voice: "Gongsun thief did not have a jade seal, but swept the world, and Sun Jian and Yuan Shu died because of the jade seal, now at a critical moment, the lord should take self-protection as the first term, as for the jade seal to give Ma Teng a favor to the water, why not know that after Sun Ce also offered the jade seal, Yuan Shu died, and Sun Ce occupied the entire Jiangdong land, why should the lord be guilty of himself" Although Cao Pi was young, his intelligence was a little clear, and his eyes immediately showed a bright light, and he asked: "In this case, who can do it?"
"Huazi Yu Huaxin is known as the head of a dragon and can take on this role" The light in Cao Pi's eyes became more and more vigorous: "Okay, according to my uncle's opinion" Anding County, Linjing City, County Shoufu, Martial Arts Field.
A young general of about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, nine feet long, as rich as jade, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, tiger body and ape arms, and a big gun in his hand danced vigorously, flying up and down, and the audience was full of gun shadows.
This gun is called Tiger Head Zhan Golden Gun, the body of the gun is cast by cold iron, one zhang long, weighing fifty-four pounds; The head of the gun is in the shape of a black gold tiger head, the tiger's mouth swallows the blade, the body of the gun is gilded, and it is said that it is made of platinum, which is extremely sharp and cold.
The marksmanship is the ancestral marksmanship of the Ma family, which is derived from the ancestor of the Ma family, the famous general Fubo of the Western Han Dynasty.
This person is none other than Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, who frightened the Qiang people, known as "Xiliang Jin Ma Chao".
When the dance was in the mood, I heard the young man shout to the eight spear-wielding generals on the side: "Up" Eight elite generals, all of them with tigers on their backs, powerful and powerful, shouted and attacked Ma Chao in unison, and the eight spears were fierce, attacking Ma Chao in the upper, middle and lower three ways, fast and ruthless, without any mercy.
Ma Chao's spear shook, and suddenly eight spear shadows appeared, like a dragon, and they met the attacking eight spears respectively.
Only a few soft sounds were heard, and the eight people took a few steps back.
Ma Chao shouted coldly: "Useless things, keep going" The eight of them continued to attack bravely with guns, only to see the tip of the spear flashing, and silver light shrouded Ma Chao in the middle.
Ma Chao roared, the spear drew several arcs in succession, knocked away everyone's spear, and the remaining momentum did not stop, suddenly the head of the gun moved slightly, drawing a strange arc of attack straight to the throat of one of the generals, the general was shocked, and hurriedly struggled to block, who knew that the head of the gun changed direction again, and the barrel of the gun hit another general, knocking the general to the ground.
The shadow of the spear continued to swim like a cloud, and successively shot away the spears of the remaining seven generals, and suddenly flew up and kicked over one of the generals.

The generals fought less and less, and finally they were knocked to the ground one by one, all with blue noses and swollen faces, and bleeding from the corners of their mouths.
Ma Chao proudly put away his gun and stood up, and shouted coldly: "A group of useless guys, this son is just using thirty percent of his martial arts, and he was beaten like this, and he was thrown home in shame."
Those generals were beaten fat, not to mention, but also a scolding, although they were extremely angry in their hearts, they had to swallow their anger and said: "The god of the son is brave, the world is invincible, even if he only makes a martial art, it is not our enemy."
At this time, a general hurriedly ran over and shouted: "Childe, Chang'an is here to pay a visit, and the old master invites Childe to the front hall to meet guests." ” Ma Chao picked up several spears on the ground with one foot, threw them to the generals on the side, and scolded angrily at the generals who came to report the news: "What's the panic, isn't it just Cao Pi's fuss." ” The family was about to be scolded for no reason, but they didn't dare to make a sound, they just stood with a bitter face and their hands down.
Said: "Eldest prince, this time seems to be different from usual, just go and take a look." ” Ma Chao snorted coldly, and walked to the front hall with the golden gun and the general.
In the hall, Ma Teng sat in the middle, and Hua Xin was originally kneeling behind the desk next to him, but at this moment, he stood up and respectfully handed a brocade box to Ma Teng.
Ma Teng's expression became solemn, and he carefully opened the brocade box, revealing a layer of yellow satin, revealing a large jade inside.
This jade is four inches in circumference, with five dragons on the plate, and a corner is missing on the side, and it is inlaid with gold.
The bottom is engraved with eight large characters in seal body, "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity".
Ma Teng held this piece of jade, his whole body trembled with excitement, and he was silent for a long time.
The jade seal of the country, made by the legendary Heshi Bi, its square circle is four inches, twisted five dragons on it, and the front is engraved with the eight seal characters of the book of Qin Xiang Li Si "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang", in order to be the thing of "imperial power and divine grant, orthodoxy and legitimacy".
Subsequently, the emperors of all dynasties had to take this seal as a symbol, and they were enshrined as rare and precious weapons.
If you get it, you will be "ordered by the sky", and if you lose it, "the number of qi has been exhausted".
Those who ascend to the throne without this jade seal, even if there are other jade seals engraved, are also called "white emperors".
Could it be that the number of Han Qi has been exhausted, and the world is full of Angelica, and my Xiliang Ma family is not finished
