Outside Hulao Pass, Lu Bu fought fiercely against the heroes.

The coalition led by Yuan Shao was strong and powerful. Unfortunately, the terrain of Hulao Pass was dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack, which left Yuan Shao helpless.

During several confrontations, Lu Bu, with his unparalleled courage, killed more than a dozen generals of the coalition forces and the name of a tiger, spread throughout the rivers and Luo Rivers for a time.

However, just when Lu Bu was in a state of arrogance, one person broke out from the coalition forces.

This person's surname is Liu and his name is Bei. His name is Xuande. He was from Dashulou Sang, Zhuo County.

It is said that he was originally a descendant of Liu Sheng, the King of Jing of Zhongshan. His father was an official and was later dismissed for accepting bribes. After Liu Bei's father died, his family's family declined. In desperation, Liu Bei had to make a living by weaving straw mats, which was extremely depressed.

However, Liu Bei was very optimistic, and he was very optimistic.

Instead of losing his ambition because of poverty, he became stronger and stronger.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Yan, the governor of Youzhou, recruited heroes. Liu Bei happily went there and met two heroes, one Guan Yu and the other Zhang Fei. Both of them were heroes at that time, and they fell in love with Liu Bei as if they were brothers. After that, the three of them worked together to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion and made immortal contributions. However, the government was in ruins, and the three brothers had no background, so they only had the position of a county magistrate in the end. But no matter what, the three brothers had a place to settle down.

Qiao Mao made a proclamation and sent a proclamation to the world.

Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Youbeiping, raised an army and led his troops south.

Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei had a classmate. In their early years, they became disciples of the Central Secretary Lu Zhi.

So when Gongsun Zan passed by Pingyuan County, Liu Bei heard that he was going to attack Dong Zhuo, and immediately asked to accompany him.

Gongsun Zan naturally did not refuse.

The two arrived at Hulao Pass and happened to Yuan Shao losing streak.

Therefore, Gongsun Zan strongly recommended the three brothers Liu Bei to Yuan Shao, and obtained the qualification to send troops to fight for the three brothers.

To be honest, Yuan Shao, who was born in the family of the Three Dukes of the Four Generations, did not like Liu Bei and the other two.

But he could not lose face with Gongsun Zan, so out of the idea of ​​winning over Gongsun Zan, he personally led his troops to supervise the battle under Hulao Pass.

In Yuan Shao's opinion, although Liu Bei and the other two are good-looking, how can they be Lu Bu's opponent?

He originally thought that he could save Liu Bei and the other two so that he could get closer to Gongsun Zan. But he knew that Liu Guan and Zhang fought against Lu Bu in a big battle under Hulao Pass, and finally fled back to Hulao Pass in a panic.

It was also Yuan Shao who was not prepared before and missed the opportunity to attack Hulao Pass.

After he realized it, Lu Bu had already returned to Hulao Guanzhong and stayed in the door and refused to leave.

Although he did not conquer Hulao, the reputation of Liu, Guan and Zhang gradually spread. Yuan Shao even independent of the three of them.

After that, no matter how Yuan Shao challenged, or designed to lure Lu Bu to fight, Lu Bu ignored it.

With the high walls of Hulao Pass and the thick walls and geographical advantages, the coalition forces attacked one after another, but did not gain anything. The battle situation was in a state of anxiety.

At this moment, a very inconspicuous Hucheng Pavilion suddenly appeared in Yuan Shao's sight.

Cao Cao is Yuan Shao's old acquaintance.

The two met young men and were fighting swords together.

Later, the two were the eight captains of Xiyuan and served in General He Jin's mansion.

After Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he deposed the Emperor of Han. Yuan Shao refused to bow his head and turned to Luoyang. The connection between him and Cao Cao was immediately interrupted. It was not until the coalition forces attacked Dong that Yuan Shao heard that Cao Cao had defected to Zhang Miao. At that time, Yuan Shao felt a pity, but he did not care much. It was not until Cao Cao sent out a surprise army, occupied Hucheng Pavilion, and defeated Dong Zhuo's troops that Yuan Shao's eyes fell on Cao Cao again.

"Meng De is familiar with military books and has extraordinary strategies."

Yuan Shao said to the coalition princes: "I have known Meng De since childhood and I know him very well.

I am afraid that he can be reused by Zhang Mengzhuo. If he can attract it, he will definitely help me to break through the Huzhuo.

Immediately sent someone to Hucheng Pavilion and asked Meng De to come and help me.

Then he sent a batch of food and grass to remove the sour jujubes, and told the prefect Zhang that Meng De had another important task and borrowed it from me for the time being. Anyway, there were roads in Xingyang, and there were also tigers in Jiangdong as the vanguard, gathering many troops and horses, and it was not difficult to break the city. He also sent someone to send a message to Sun Wentai, saying that if he could break through Yangren Pass, I would like to report to the court that he would be the general of the defeated captivity."

As the leader of the coalition forces, Yuan Shao's words were naturally quite substantial.

In addition, he was born into the Yuan family in Runan and had a very famous reputation.

Even if Chenliu's prefect Zhang Miao was not his subordinate, he dared not ignore his arrangements.

It was also the battle of Huchengting that did not achieve the initial surprise attack effect, but it was enough to finally gain a place in the coalition.

Ding Chen also became famous because of his battle with Huchengting and three victories with Cao Cao.

In fact, many people have seen Ding Chen.

But at that time, Ding Chen followed Cao Cao and was not paid attention to it.

But like some people who are more familiar with Cao Cao, they still have some impression of Ding Chen. So when Ding Chen's name is heard, most people will feel very familiar with it, and then suddenly said: "It turns out to be that 'Fei Lian in the World'!"

Thinking back then, Cao Cao praised Ding Chen like this!

Luoyang, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Dong Zhuo held the battle report sent from the front in his hand, showing a look of surprise.

He put down the battle report, looked at Li Ru who was standing in front of the case, and said, "Wenyou, what do you think about this? Did Cao Cao and Ding Chen have planned it long ago?"

He was worried that the Battle of Huchengting was a drama performed by Cao Cao and Ding Chen in collaboration.

Li Ru shook his head and smiled, "The Prime Minister is worried too much."

"oh?"

Facing Dong Zhuo's questionable gaze, Li Ru took a deep breath and explained: "The Prime Minister has something to do. After Ding Ziyang left Luoyang Prison, Ru has been secretly observing the person and his affairs. This person... How can I say that he is indeed capable, but he has no ambitions, not that he can do great things. The reason why he is willing to serve the Prime Minister is not because he is loyal to the Prime Minister, nor because he wants to take the opportunity to rise to the top. He has concerns, and what he does is just to keep his sister safe."

"Are you talking about Cao Cao's wife?"

“That’s right.”

Li Rudao: "Ding Chen's past is not difficult to find.

He followed Cao Cao to Luoyang for many years, and many people knew about him. His mother was not a real wife, and soon after he was born, she died of illness, so she was not loved by her family. She was often bullied by her brothers and was very withdrawn.

Later, it was his sister, Cao Cao's wife, who brought him by his side and protected him in a good manner.

Even when her sister got married, her only requirement was to bring Ding Chen with her and marry her to the Cao family.

Cao Cao was also very good to Ding Chen and took great care of him.

Later, when he grew up, he followed Cao Cao and was willing to be his close friend.

Confucians heard that Ding Chen used to respect Cao Cao very much and regarded him as a hero... Before the Taipingdao uprising, Ding Chen was in anger because Cao Cao and his sister were humiliated. He killed the other party's family alone, and then surrendered to the county government.
