Hulao Pass, also known as Sishui Pass, Gugu Pass, the eastern gateway and important pass in Luoyang, was named after King Mu of Zhou. In the Biography of Emperor Mu of Emperor Mu, it was recorded: "The emperor was in Zheng, and there were tigers in the reeds. The seven-collection man captured it and offered it to Dongguo, and hence it was called Hulao."

This pass is connected to Songyue in the south and the Yellow River in the north. The mountains and rivers are intertwined, which is a natural danger. It has the momentum of "one man should be the pass, but ten thousand men cannot open", and has been a place that military strategists in history must fight for.

&bsp;After Wang Shichong occupied Luoyang, he continued to send troops to attack this pass, but was defended by the Wagang army and did not surrender to this pass.

Currently, Li Mi is in Xingyang, and this pass has become an important pass that isolates Luoyang and Xingyang. General Wang Junkuo is in charge of this, with 30,000 defenders.

On this day, Cheng Zhijie led 300 light cavalry to twenty miles outside the pass and stopped. He changed his casual clothes, took only a few followers, pretended to be merchants, entered the Hulao Pass, and met Wang Junkuo in private.

Cheng Zhijie was very detailed, and he could understand Wang Junkuo's psychology. At present, Li Mi had no luck and lost her desire to dominate. Among the princes, he had lost his halo. The people and the peasant army also thought that Li Mi was not good enough. She was a fake dragon and could not become a climate.

As a result, Li Mi's influence and prestige fell to the bottom, and no rebels came to join him again. His team had only 60,000 to 70,000 people and did not continue to expand. He did not plan to return to Wagang Village, because he killed Zhai Rang and a series of Wagang old generals, causing the former Wagang soldiers to secretly escape and return to Wagang Village, and no longer wait for his dispatch.

Li Mi had no ambitions in Xingyang. He drank all day long and wandered among beauties, enjoying the free life of being the emperor.

The other generals naturally complained because they could not see the future and felt that there was no future or future to stay here, so the morale of the army and the hearts of the people were shaken.

Cheng Zhijie brought people into the city. Since there was no war here in Hulao Pass, merchants and relatives and friends came in and out, and there was no complete martial law.

The Dahua army is determined to win the Hulao Pass, but it has not launched an attack yet, so the place is still in peace for the time being.

Cheng Zhijie came outside the general's mansion and secretly paid the money. He asked the guards at the door to report and submitted the visit. The guards took the money and naturally went to the pain and spread it happily. Soon, Wang Junguo sent someone to introduce Cheng Zhijie into the mansion.

"Jun Kuo!"

"Yaojin, it's you--" Wang Junguo was very surprised and grabbed Cheng Zhijie's arm. He was very happy. He fought side by side and formed a deep friendship.

The most important thing is that Cheng Zhijie has a human personality, hospitality, and friendship, and is very strategic in speaking. He is very good at Ren's temper. He has a good relationship with Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Wang Bodang, Niu Jinda, Shan Xiongxin and others!

"I'm back to see you!" Cheng Zhijie said with a smile.

"I heard that you left Zheng State and defected to Dahua as a general. This time you came to Hulao Pass, would you want to return to the Wagang Army?" Wang Junguo couldn't help asking.

Cheng Zhijie sighed and said with emotion: "I have been in Luoyang for half a year. I was taken care of by the Wang family. I have no trust at all, no freedom, and I am restrained everywhere. Finally, I found an opportunity to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. At present, I am a general under Marshal Li Jing's account, and I am highly valued!"

After hearing this, Wang Junkuo nodded slightly, and he could understand it, but he was a little suspicious. How could he come to Hulao Pass very well?

"Old brother, I'm afraid it's not as simple as visiting old friends when I come to Hulao Pass today?"

"Haha, we brothers are not polite. In fact, as a general of Dahua, I came to be a lobbyist, to win you over and join Dahua!"

"Traveling to Dahua?" Wang Junguo was surprised. However, he had already thought that he would have a future in his heart to go to Dahua. However, he had no choice but to have no way, and he took the initiative to vote, turned his back on his old master, and was worried that he would be looked down upon, and he would be demoted and despised.

This is what Wang Junkuo has been struggling in his heart. He plans to wait for Dahua to attack and hold on for a while. Then someone persuades him to surrender. He pretends to be persuaded, and then abandons the darkness and turns to the light and makes a show. In this way, he will not be criticized, give up the Hulao Pass, and can also reflect his own value.

Now that Cheng Zhijie is here to be a lobbyist, he feels relieved and feels that there is a way out.

"I have some thought about this. After all, my situation is different from yours. You were captured in Luoyang and forced to surrender to Wang Shichong. It is equivalent to leaving the Wagang army. If you join Dahua, there is nothing wrong. No one will blame you. But as a general of the Wagang army, Li Mi, the King of Wei, is still here. It seems inappropriate for me to surrender to Dahua like this!"

Cheng Zhijie said bitterly: "Brother, before coming, I also considered your situation! However, good birds choose trees to live in, and good ministers choose masters to work. There were too many troubled times in ancient times, so Zhao Zilong followed several masters, and finally became the name of loyalty and righteousness! I have solemnly recommended you to Marshal Li Jing. If you take down Hulao Pass this time, you can make contributions to Dahua and turn it into Dahua territory without bloodshed. When Dou Jiande's army heads south, we can fight here and make great contributions!"

"I always feel a little ashamed of the King of Wei!"

Cheng Zhijie sighed, "If the King of Wei was still the former Duke of Wei, who was determined to fight for the world, I would not come to persuade you, which would make you feel embarrassed. But now the King of Wei is depressed and depressed, and is truly abolished. It is said that he spent all day in Xingyang and took many beauties as concubines. If he sits there like this, he may not even be able to stop Dou Jiande's army from going south, and he will soon retreat to Qi County."

Wang Junkuo nodded slightly. He also knew about this situation, so he was completely disappointed with the princes of Wei.

"Will Dou Jiande really go south to rescue Luoyang?"

Cheng Zhijie said: "General Li Jing analyzed this way. However, Dahua has long sent Hou Junji to set up defenses on the south bank of the Yellow River to block the Xia army. At that time, Dou Jiande will walk the Hulao Pass line, so your position and identity will be of great importance!"

Wang Junguo looked hesitant and still couldn't get any idea. Although it was a choice for interest to join Dahua, he was also a hero who was loyal after all. If he agreed immediately after being persuaded, he would not be able to overcome the hurdle in his heart.

"Let me think about it for two days. Anyway, there is no war for the time being. You can stay in the mansion and wait for my news. Even if you don't defect to Dahua, as a brother, I will not betray you, and I will still send someone to send you out of the city!"

"I hope you can join me and hand over Hulao Pass to Dahua and make contributions!" Cheng Zhijie said.

"Let me think about it again!" Wang Junguo did not agree immediately.

"Okay, I'll give you two days to think about it!" Cheng Zhi nodded and did not force him to express his opinion immediately, but he was also a little puzzled in his heart, feeling that he was 70% or 80% sure that he could successfully lobby.
