Two days later, the Allied forces began to officially attack Hulao Pass. Since Lu Bu was defeated, Liu, Guan, and Zhang became increasingly famous, and the Allied forces' momentum reached an unprecedented high.

Hulao Pass, inside the Prefect's Mansion.

Dong Zhuo still sat domineeringly at the top, but his brows were not as relaxed as before.

"Fengxian has been defeated, so we can no longer delay time with duels." Li Ru said.

Li Ru's original proposal was to use Lu Bu's force to resist the Allied forces, which would delay it for at least more than a month. During this time, Hulao Pass would be reinforced, and then continue to hold on until the Allied forces ran out of food and grass and retreated on their own.

Many princes, such as Gongsun Zan, Xiongnu, Sun Jian, etc., have their bases far away from the battlefield of Hulaoguan. Now there are bandits and bandits all over the world. They will not be able to sit still for long.

But now Liu Guanzhang appeared and defeated Lu Bu. The reinforcement of Hulao Pass was only half completed, but the Allies had already begun to attack the city.

"Alas! Now those rebels are fighting more and more fiercely day by day. Even if I have a million troops, I won't be able to defend Hulao Pass! If Hulao Pass has been fortified, it will definitely be defensible!" Dong Zhuo resented.

He slammed the table, frightened the generals below and turned pale.

Lu Bu was leading the army to resist the Allied attack at the critical moment, so he was not at the scene.

"Grand Master, don't worry, I have a plan to ensure that our army will win, as long as the Grand Master is willing to give up a city." Li Ru was calm and composed.

"Oh? Tell me." Dong Zhuo became interested after hearing this.

Zhang Chen was not present at this time. He was intensifying the training of his soldiers. The soldiers who had died in Kuangying and other units had been replaced, and the number of soldiers in the four battalions had been expanded to 800 per battalion.

Only Lao Jiang was present to convey the instructions on Zhang Chen's behalf, but if Zhang Chen had been there, he would have prevented Li Ru from revealing this vicious plan.

"Grand Master, today the nursery rhyme "There is a Han in the west and a Han in the east. It will be easy if the deer walks into Chang'an" is circulated in the workshops in Luoyang today. This nursery rhyme is a metaphor that our army can only abandon Luoyang, the eastern capital, and order the army to

Enter the western capital of Chang'an!" Li Ru said.

"Oh? Give up Luoyang? This is a good idea!" Dong Zhuo thought about it, why must he stick to Luoyang?

"Then let's do it like this! Wen You! Now send someone to inform the five troops guarding Luoyang and Li Jue in Luoyang! Let them prepare to retreat! Do you understand the retreat?" Dong Zhuo said to Li Ru

wink.

Li Ru, who was an old subordinate of Dong Zhuo, certainly understood, "Understand that all the people will be forcibly moved to Chang'an, and the treasures of the palace and all the tombs will be brought back to Chang'an. Those who cannot be taken will be killed and burned, and no one will be left for the allies!"

"

"Haha, you are worthy of Wen You! Then Wen You, let's go and do it first! Follow me and lead the Dong family army back to Luoyang tomorrow! By the way, it will take some time to prepare for the evacuation. Who will stay to resist the rebels?" Dong Zhuo thought

What, asked.

At this time, Li Ru secretly smiled in his heart. He had not forgotten the agreement he made with Niu Fu in Luoyang to exclude Zhang Chen.

"Now all the generals will be busy with the matter of moving the capital, and General Fengxian's headquarters has suffered heavy losses. Now it seems that only General Ziyue's troops can resist."

"Okay! The one standing over there is Ziyue's lieutenant! Go back and inform Ziyue! Lead troops to defend Hulao Pass! After our large army retreats, we will return to Chang'an immediately!" Dong Zhuo waved to Lao Jiang, who responded.

And go.

...

The messenger from Hulao Pass has not yet set off here, but Li Jue has already begun to retreat in Luoyang City.

"Mr. Wenhe, will Grand Master really choose to retreat?" Li Jue asked Jia Xu dubiously. He did not believe that Dong Zhuo would give up Luoyang so easily after spending so much effort to get so many soldiers and horses.

"General Li, don't worry. What you have to do now is to arrange for the people and treasures to go to Chang'an as soon as possible. If you can't take them away, just kill them all." The poisonous warrior Jia Xu said calmly while looking at the scenery in the distance.

"Okay!" Li Jue didn't believe it or not, but Dong Zhuo asked him to follow Jia Xu's arrangements, and he admired Jia Xu's resourcefulness.

...

At this time, Zhang Chen's house seemed very quiet without Zhang Chen as the male host.

However, there was an extra child here recently, a boy. The old man Shintoko asked his apprentice to bring him here a few days ago.

If Li Ru saw it, he would be scared to death.
