Liu Zheng just smiled faintly after hearing Zhou Cang's words.

"Zhou Cang, what's the matter in a hurry? Are you still afraid that there is no battle to fight? Looking at the Hulao Pass, such a tall city wall, I still have a headache."

"Heaven's headache, what's the headache? Isn't it just a stone wall? If Shuai Qu wants to fight, I have a way."

Liu Zheng was talking casually, but at this time he heard Zhou Cang say that he had a way, but he became interested. Although he didn't think Zhou Cang's method could really help him attack Hulao Pass, it was still nothing wrong to listen to it more.

At that moment, Liu Zheng asked Zhou Cang directly.

"Oh, what's the way? Let's hear it?"

"This is not simple. This Hulao Pass looks powerful, but there are actually not many defenders inside. If we really want to fight, we will throw it directly from the cliffs on both sides, then ignite a large amount of wood and then ignite a rocket to shoot the city tower and fire it, which will burn the Hulao Pass."

Zhou Cang's words made Liu Zheng's eyes lit up. He had never expected that he could do this before.

Before, Liu Zheng thought about besieging Hulao Pass, and then cutting off the water and food in Hulao Pass. Within three or two months, the soldiers and horses in Hulao Pass would go out to fight him to the death.

If you do that, you can conquer Hulao Pass, but three or two months is too long. The reinforcements around you have enough time to come and support. When there are too many people, the idea of ​​fighting Hulao Pass is not to face the few thousand troops in Hulao Pass, but to add reinforcements from all over the place.

But if you follow Zhou Cang's method, although you cannot directly break the gate of Hulao Pass, you can accelerate the consumption of food and water in Hulao Pass.

At that time, I am afraid that these soldiers and horses in Hulao Pass will be difficult for three or five days.

"Zhou Cang, your method is good, but we don't need to attack Hulao Pass now. It will not be of much use to capture Hulao Pass now. After all, the situation is still unclear."

“What situation?”

"The situation in Luoyang and Jizhou."

"We have to wait and see what Luoyang reacts, whether to send troops to reinforce Hulao Pass, or whether we are undecided. At the same time, we have to see whether the three major generals in Jizhou who are fighting against General Tiangong will send troops back to the rescue."

"Well, if they send troops back to the rescue and a large number of troops gather in Hulao Pass, we will not fight Hulao Pass, but escape from here?"

After hearing Liu Zheng's words, Zhou Cang thought about it and asked back.

However, Liu Zheng smiled faintly and immediately rejected Zhou Cang's words.

"On the contrary, if Luoyang and Jizhou both send people to support Hulao Pass, Hulao Pass will definitely be beaten!"

"Why is this?"

When Zhou Cang heard Liu Zheng's words, he was stunned and a little confused.

Xu You, who was still standing aside and drinking in a small gulp, heard Zhou Cang's confusion and immediately spoke up.

"Brother Zhou Cang, let me tell you. If the three generals of Zhonglang from the imperial court and Jizhou all sent troops to siege us, we would have a geographical advantage in the Hulao Pass and could also restrain these two groups of people here."

"In this way, not only can we restrain some of the troops and horses of the generals of Jizhou, but once we are here, we will defeat the army coming from Luoyang and the army of Zhonglang who are supporting him. Then will Luoyang be like an empty city, giving us a reason to attack Luoyang."

Xu You's brief explanation made Zhou Cang confused.

"Ah, why are you still attacking Luoyang? Aren't we even attacked Hulao Pass yet?"

"Hehe, as long as we can defeat Hulao Pass, Luoyang may be defeated by us."

Xu You said affirmatively again, which made Liu Zheng look at Xu You. He praised Xu You for his intelligence. As long as he mentioned it, Xu You could guess what Liu Zheng was thinking.

"Mr. Xu You is still you are smart."

"Shishou Qu praises me. I am not as smart as Shishou Qu. I can only think of this after Shishou thinks of these."

Just as Liu Zheng was chatting with Xu You, Zhou Cang and others, Xu Huang hurried over from outside.

"My men and I found out that there were two soldiers and horses in the north and east of Hulao Pass."

As soon as Xu Huang approached, he reported to Liu Zheng what he found.

These sentences attracted the attention of Liu Zheng and others, and they hurriedly asked Xu Huang about the details.

"Xu Huang, can you find out who these two teams are?"

"The coach Huiqu should have rushed from Hexi County and Henan Yin area to support the reinforcements from Hulao Pass."

Hulao Pass is a special place. Although it belongs to the Sili area, it is close to Hedong, Hexi and Hongnong counties due to the Yellow River.

Once a war breaks out in Hulao Pass, the troops from several surrounding counties can bring people to support them in a short time.

Since the soldiers and horses that appear now do not come from Luoyang, they are obviously county soldiers from Hedong, Hexi and other places.

It is unlikely that the soldiers and horses in Hedong will appear. After all, Dong Zhuo was the prefect of Hedong before. When he attacked Liu Zheng, Dong Zhuo had almost recruited the township heroes of Hedong County and could no longer organize a soldier that could compete with Liu Zheng.

Therefore, only reinforcements may appear near Hulao Pass.

"Lord, as far as I know, the prefect of Hexi is named Wang Yi, and he is a student of the current Taiwei Liu Kuan. And the Yin of Henan seems to be named He Miao, the younger brother of the general He Jin of the current dynasty."

Just when Liu Zheng guessed that the person was reinforcements from Hexi and Henan, Xu You, who was standing beside him, immediately revealed some information he knew.

When Liu Zheng heard that Wang Yi was not very famous in history, and Liu Zheng had never heard of it. Although he was a student of the Grand Marshal Liu Kuan, Liu Zheng was not even familiar with the name Liu Kuan, so he ignored it even more.

However, Liu Zheng knew very well about Yin Hemiao, Henan.

Speaking of which, this guy was not originally called He Miao, but Zhu Miao.

Because He Jin's father married a stepmother, the current Queen He was left, and He Miao was the child born to this stepmother and ex-husband.

He Miaosui is He Jin's younger brother, but he has no blood relationship with He Jin for half a cent, and only has a half-sister relationship with the queen of the dynasty.

He Miao has always been incompatible with He Jin. Although both sides are brothers on the surface, they do not have much intersection in private.

The reason why he was able to become Henan Yin is because he had a good sister.

Although He Miao in history made some contributions during the Yellow Turban Rebellion and was promoted to marquis, in Liu Zheng's view, He Miao, like He Jin, was both wasteful, and even He Miao was even more wasteful than He Jin.
