The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 472 Volume Unable to be selected
When Xin Pi arrived at Muling Pass, he jumped off the carriage without even waiting for it to stop, and hugged his brother Xin Ping's arms with a very anxious look -

"Brother! Yuan Tan retreated to Liaodong, and now only Guo Tu is supporting Qingzhou from behind!"

"Now there is no hope of winning, brother, please follow me to surrender to the emperor and submit to the Han Dynasty!"

No emotion could be seen in Xin Ping's calm eyes.

Even after knowing these things, he remained calm and entertained Xin Pi and his family.

Xinpi was sent to the courtyard that had been prepared for them to bathe, but just as Xinpi was about to go out with his wet hair, he was stopped by the guards at the door.

"What are you doing?"

When Xin Pi saw the gleaming swords and weapons, he immediately had a bad feeling.

The guard politely placed the knife on Xin Pi's neck and said, "Master Xin, we are just following orders. Please forgive us."

In Muling Guanzhong, whose orders can we obey?

Xin Pi thought of what his daughter Xin Xianying had said on the way here, and he immediately felt remorseful. He turned around and sat in the courtyard sulking.

It was not until sunset that Xin Ping entered Xin Pi's villa.

"Please forgive me, Zuo Zhi (Xin Pi's courtesy name), this Muling Pass is called a pass, but it is actually composed of three layers of passes: Xiaoguan, Daguan, and Mulingguan. It stretches for more than 50 miles. It will take me a whole day to inspect all the military camps, but I have neglected you."

Xin Pi was dressed in plain clothes at the moment, and there seemed to be a look of depression between his brows.

"Brother, why do you have to do this? Is the reason I'm angry just because of neglect?"

"Qingzhou seems to be well-defended now, but it's actually already empty inside!"

"Under such circumstances, I came to find my brother with good intentions, hoping that he would save his life, but why did he treat me like this?"

Xin Ping looked calm and told Xin Pi the truth -

"Back then, I followed Lord Yuan from Yingchuan, accompanying him all the way to defeat Dong Zhuo, take Jizhou, defeat Liu Bei, drive back Zhang Yan, destroy Gongsun, and control Hebei. I don't know how much bitterness I went through along the way!"

"Mr. Yuan has great ambitions and treats me well. How can I betray him at this critical moment?"

Xin Pi was furious!
"Brother! Are you stupid?"

"Yuan Shao is dead!"

"Even Yuan Tan has fled to Liaodong!"

"Who are you acting so loyal to? Huh?"

Xin Ping shook his head.

"A gentleman is cautious when he is alone, and does not deceive in secret."

"I'm not doing this for anyone to see. All I want is peace of mind."

"Just like Guo Tu and Guo Wen Ze, he was unwilling to follow the King of Qi to Liaodong. Was there anyone forcing him not to go?"

"But I do have a favor to ask of you."

Xin Pi was still angry and spoke very aggressively: "What's the matter?"

"I am loyal to Lord Yuan, but my family members are always innocent."

"The emperor is kind and will not kill people. If the city is breached, please help me protect my family."

After saying this, Xin Ping bowed deeply to Xin Pi and leaned forward.

Xin Pi also had mixed feelings at this moment.

"Brother, please stand up. We are all one family. Why should we have different opinions?"

After helping Xin Ping up, Xin Pi completely lost the intention to dissuade Xin Ping and let him go and make the arrangements.

The very next day after Xin Pi arrived, the sound of war drums was heard outside Muling Pass.

The Han army attacked the city!

Xin Pi ran to Xin Ping's residence and asked, "Who is the general who attacked the city?"

"Lu Bu."

"Lu Bu???"

Xin Pi screamed and was in a state of panic.

"The emperor is just outside the pass, so why is it so strange that Lu Bu came to attack the city?"

Xin Ping had anticipated this.

"Even if it's not Lu Bu, if someone else around the emperor is in his place, this battle will still have to be fought!"

Xin Ping was just a civil servant, but at this moment he was already wearing armor and fully armed.

"Go back and hide! Don't worry! Muling Pass is the most dangerous pass in Qi, the best pass in the world. Even Lu Bu can't break through it so easily!"

Xin Ping left Xin Pi with his back, then resolutely came to the top of the wall of Muleng Pass and guarded the pass!

And Lu Bu outside also began to lead his troops to attack the pass!
Muling Pass, although called a pass, was actually built adjacent to the Great Wall of Qi.

The people of Qi were so crazy back then that they built two layers of the Great Wall outside the Muling Pass, making it so that Muling Pass was not just a pass, but actually more like a super Great Wall stretching for dozens of miles!
To overcome such a barrier, there are only two words:

Work hard!

The war drums are thundering!

Lu Bu ordered his soldiers to push the Thunderbolt Chariot that had been prepared earlier to a distance of one hundred steps in front of the gate, and to fire stone bullets at the gate.

The Yuan army soldiers guarding the city were frightened by the noise and retreated back to the city wall, but there was not a trace of joy in Lu Bu's eyes.

It’s different from what it was like in Dai County.

The city walls of Muling Pass are basically built against the mountain and blend in with the rocks of Dayan Mountain.

So now, the Thunderbolt car is not blasting the wall, but the mountain!
Fortunately, Lu Bu did not expect to blast open Muling Pass with the Thunderbolt Chariot.

Seeing Yuan's soldiers retreating back to the city wall, Lu Bu immediately waved his hand -

"Go!" Hundreds of soldiers wearing heavy armor, masks and holding large shields appeared on the battlefield.

These equipments were all stripped from Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Thick! Heavy! Safe!

The occasional arrows shot by Yuan Jun were directly bounced off by the thick armor on their bodies without even having to raise their shields to block them!

After this group of heavily armored soldiers arrived at the wall of Muling Pass, they immediately began to set up ladders!
Ant attached!

Because Muling Pass was built on a mountain, most siege methods were ineffective.

Large military equipment such as battering rams and nesting vehicles cannot approach.

Digging tunnels was also impossible due to the hard rock.

The only suitable method now is to ant attach! Rush forward!
"kill!"

The soldiers under Lu Bu's command are the most ferocious!
After the ladder was set up, it actually rushed up directly with a momentum like a huge wave, as if the water of the East China Sea was pressing towards Muling Pass!

Lu Bu was not idle either.

Zhang Gong!

Nocking an arrow!

People only know that Lu Bu is an unparalleled rider, but few know that Lu Bu’s archery is also the best in the world!

The reason why it is not used on weekdays is that no one can make Lu Bu use it!

The bow is like a full moon.

The arrow is like a shooting star.

At this moment, the Yuan army soldiers at Muling Pass finally understood what it meant for the heavens to collapse and the earth to split!
Muling Pass was like a lone boat in front of the Han army. It had to withstand the tsunami below and also defend against the meteors falling from the sky at all times!
For a moment, it was as if the end of the world was approaching in Muling Pass, with the sound of people crying and collapsing being heard everywhere!
"Hold on!"

At this moment, Yuan's soldiers heard a very familiar voice.

When I looked up, I found it was Xin Ping!
Xin Ping was actually standing directly at the forefront of Muling Pass!

"Soldiers on both sides, raise your shields and protect the upper part!"

"The rest of you, hold short swords and hooks, stand on the enemy's ladders and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy!"

After asking for the command of the front line, Xin Ping immediately ordered the rest of the soldiers to throw stones down the ladders to delay the Han army's attack!
The originally messy Muling Pass became orderly in an instant, and the originally corrupt situation was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Xin Ping!"

Seeing the situation at Muling Pass, Lu Bu naturally knew that Xin Ping had come to the front line. He immediately rode his horse to the bottom of the city wall and shouted upwards.

"Yuan Tan, that spineless fellow, has already fled to Liaodong. What's the point of you staying here?"

"It is better to surrender as soon as possible, so that the Qingzhou soldiers will not suffer unwarranted pain!"

Yuan Tan escaped?

The Yuan army soldiers who didn't know the truth looked at Lu Bu in fear, and then looked at Xin Ping for confirmation.

"Sweet words to confuse the people!"

Xin Ping shouted.

"The King of Qi is in the palace, how could he go to Liaodong?"

"If the King of Qi has left, what am I still doing here? Am I looking for death?"

Xin Ping's words rekindled the courage of the surrounding Yuan army soldiers.

Too……

After all, Xin Ping was considered a senior meritorious official of Yuan Shao.

If Yuan Tan fled to Liaodong, how could Xin Ping not follow him?
All of a sudden, Yuan's soldiers also believed Xin Ping's words, thinking that Lu Bu was just trying to shake the morale of the army!

"Xin Ping! Shame on you!"

Lu Bu was furious and started cursing again below!

"You tricked these Qingzhou soldiers around you into death! You clearly harmed them! Have you ever thought that these soldiers also have children to raise and parents to be filial to?"

Yuan Tan escaped, that’s for sure!

However, Xin Ping was still trying to incite these Qingzhou soldiers to die, giving them hope and making them think that Yuan Tan was still there.

This is clearly the most malicious deception!

Xin Ping turned a deaf ear to him and continued to shout at Lu Bu: "Lu Fengxian! You are really good at flattering others in order to capture the city as soon as possible!"

"But have you ever thought about this? You are now at the highest position in the government, and there is almost no room for you to rise any higher. So what will it matter even if you have made great achievements?"

"Don't forget! The Emperor Liu has always been mean and ungrateful!"

"The fact that Emperor Gaozu conferred titles on meritorious officials and slaughtered them is still recorded in history books! Han Xin, Peng Yue, Ying Bu and others will be your future fate, Lu Bu!"

Faced with Lu Bu's heart-breaking plan, Xin Ping counterattacked!

Lu Bu’s contribution now is really huge!
Since the Han Dynasty, apart from Han Xin, has any Han general's achievements been comparable to Lu Bu's?
Even Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, the two pillars of the empire, only had achievements in external affairs, but they did not have the merit of supporting the emperor and pacifying the world.

In addition, Lu Bu has now been ranked as General of Cavalry and has been granted the title of Marquis of Champion, which is the highest title he can be granted!

In this situation, you are still vying to make achievements. Do you think you are not dying fast enough?
But Lu Bu looked confused at this moment.

What does Xin Ping mean by this?
The highest position among officials? No higher?
Isn't this praising yourself?
Han Xin, Peng Yue, Ying Bu?
Are you comparing yourself with those famous generals of the early Han Dynasty?
Lu Bu scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "This Xin Ping is quite good!"

Xin's comment: ...

For some reason, at this moment, Xin Ping suddenly felt empathy with Kuai Che, who had advised Han Xin to establish himself as emperor.

Can't carry it!
I really can’t carry it!
The so-called heart-piercing words are simply not an option when facing people like Lu Bu and Han Xin!
