Looking at the resentful looks on and off the Yueqi battalion, Cao Liang knew that everyone was holding their breath. In this cold winter, everyone rushed to the front line without a single complaint. Not only did they all have a sincere heart to serve the country, they wanted to serve the country.

Kill the enemy in front of the army and perform meritorious service to serve the court.

But I didn’t expect that as soon as I arrived in Guanzhong, I was rejected. People avoided the hot and spicy food in the city, but Yueqiying could only drink northwest wind outside the city. With such treatment, it was naturally difficult for Yueqiying to let Yueqiying

The soldiers were satisfied.

However, when it comes to withdrawing to Luoyang, it is just an angry talk. Military orders are overwhelming. It is absolutely impossible for the troops that have already set out to retreat to Luoyang City before they get the order to retreat. Otherwise, they will be regarded as treason.

Although Yueqiying was a bunch of scum in the city of Luoyang in the past, they were still the palace guards after all. The people around the emperor naturally had a complete sense of superiority and had always looked down upon foreign troops and county soldiers.

His originally high status was now crumbling under Tongguan City. This psychological gap must have made everyone in the Yueqi camp extremely angry.

When Cao Liang saw the anger among the sergeants, he not only frowned secretly, but now simple comfort may not be of much use. As a lieutenant of the Yue Cavalry School, he could not find some ground for the Yue Cavalry Camp, so he just swallowed his anger. I am afraid that this

The prestige he has established in the Yueqi Camp over the past year will collapse.

But how can we regain face for the Yueqi camp?

Cao Liang was really worried. After all, the army led by Cheng Ji was also the army of the Wei Kingdom. There was no reason for him to fight with his own people. Therefore, it was impossible for Cao Liang to attack Tongguan in a fit of anger.

Moreover, the Yueqi Battalion only had 700 cavalrymen. Maybe there was some chance of winning in a fight on the plains, but trying to break through the copper-walled and iron-walled Tongguan City was simply a big joke.

But Cao Liang refused to swallow this for no reason, and with so many eyes staring at him in the Yueqi camp, if Cao Liang gave in this time, what else could he do to convince others in the future?

Cheng Ji was a pawn of the Sima family and the vanguard of the regicide rebellion of the Sima family. Cao Liang did not like him at all. His final end was that he became Sima Zhao's scapegoat and was executed by Sima Zhao to annihilate the three clans.

It is entirely his own fault, and he deserves to suffer for his own actions. This kind of person does not deserve sympathy at all.

You can never be timid with this kind of person, just do it!

Cao Liang thought about it, rolled his eyes, and realized it!

"Deng Ai, Shi Bao, listen to the order!" Cao Liang said loudly.

"I'm here to serve you!" Deng Ai and Shi Bao immediately said.

"Go down with the order and set up camp immediately, without making any mistakes!"

Deng Ai and Shi Bao looked at each other. Cao Liang's order was a bit abrupt. They immediately set up camp, but they didn't say where to set up camp or where to set up camp, leaving the two of them confused.

"May I ask Captain Cao, where should our army camp?" Deng Ai asked.

Cao Liang held his riding whip and pointed at the city gate of Tongguan, saying: "The terrain there is flat and leeward, so it is the most convenient place to set up camp. What do you think?"

Deng Ai was slightly startled at first, but then he understood and immediately accepted the order. He ordered to go down and set up camp outside the city gate of Tongguan, bury pots and make rice.

Tongguan is an extremely dangerous pass. There are cliffs standing on the north and south sides. There is only one city gate on the east and west sides. There is only one avenue running through the city. From the east gate to the west gate, you can go directly to Chang'an, and from the west gate to the east gate.

The door can reach Luoyang.

Therefore, the east and west sides of Tongguan are the only way for the entire Guanluo Avenue. Cao Liang ordered the Yueqi camp to set up camp outside the east gate of Tongguan, and sealed the east gate of Tongguan tightly.

It is a rule here that one is not allowed to enter the city at night, but it is Cao Liang's right to camp wherever he wants. The outside of the east gate of Tongguan is completely spacious and flat, so it would be perfect for a camping site.

The entire Yueqi camp started working together and quickly set up the camp.

The soldiers guarding the city heard the roar of people below the city. At first they were not sure what they were going to do. When the tents were set up, they suddenly understood that these people were not planning to leave, but were camping on the spot outside the east gate of Tongguan.

.

The soldiers guarding the city had never seen such a persistent team, and they immediately reported to Cheng Ji.

Cheng Ji did not leave, but rested in the gate tower. After hearing the soldiers' report, he was slightly surprised. He got up and took a look in person. Sure enough, as the guards said, the Yueqi battalion came down to the stronghold and blocked the east gate of Tongguan.

Give it a damn.

Cheng Ji smiled coldly. Others jumped over the wall in a hurry, but the Yueqi camp blocked the door in a hurry. However, in the middle of the night, the gates of Tongguan City were already closed and no one was passing through, so Cheng Ji didn't bother to pay attention.

They, holding hands behind their backs, went back to sleep.

The next day, Cheng Ji just woke up from his sleep, his eyes were bleary, when he heard the soldiers guarding the city coming to report: "General Cheng, something serious has happened."

Cheng Ji frowned and said in a deep voice: "What are you alarming about? Please report it as soon as possible."

"Reporting to General Qi, Beiji and others were ordered to open the city gate at sunrise, but the Yueqi battalion who camped outside the city gate yesterday neither entered the city nor retreated, sealing the east gate tightly.

It is impassable for pedestrians and business travelers.”

When Cheng Ji heard this, he immediately became furious. These guys were clearly looking for trouble. They were not allowed to enter the city last night according to regulations, so they were dissatisfied and deliberately blocked the city gate.

The city is not allowed to open at night. That is not something that Chengji can say alone. This order was issued by the governor of Yongzhou. The purpose is to prevent spies from taking the opportunity to sneak in and out. After all, the intensity of the search at night is far worse than during the day.

Much more.

Originally, this was a rule that everyone had to abide by, but as soon as these guys came, they wanted to go directly into the city and run rampant, making it clear that they wanted to break the rules.

They don't even look at whose territory this is, yet they dare to make trouble here?

Cheng Ji immediately got up and ran to the east gate.

Tongguan is just a pass with dangerous terrain, and it is the only pass on Guanluo Avenue. As soon as it breaks, the pedestrians and merchants crowded in Guandong and Guanxi immediately take action. When the city gate opens, they rush forward in a rush, preparing to pass the pass.

Pass.

But there seems to be something different today. Usually, once the city gate is opened, the road is unobstructed, but now there is a camp outside the east gate, with countless tents, and the fence is even directly sealed at the gate. If you want to go out of the city, you have to pass through it first.

Just sit in a camp.

At first, pedestrians and merchants thought it was enemy troops attacking the city, and they were frightened to death. However, upon closer inspection, the flag flying in the camp was still the flag of the Wei Dynasty.

Everyone was puzzled. Since it was Wei's army, why did they block the city gate and seal the road?
