The princes took the opportunity to attack in groups,
The nearly 30,000 Xiliang troops outside the pass who had no time to enter Hulao Pass,
Almost instantly, he was eaten by the coalition of princes without even leaving any bones!
However, Hulao Pass closed the city gate first and raised the suspension bridge.
Hulao Pass is extremely dangerous.
In addition, Dong Zhuo's nearly 200,000 troops defended Guanzhong,
After a tentative and forceful attack, the Allies were unable to do anything about it for a while.
Throwing away the corpses of 1,800 siege soldiers,
The princes paid tribute and retreated their troops, preparing to go back and discuss the next plan to attack Hulao Pass.
Cao Cao went into battle in person and was covered in blood.
When he came back and found Lu Yan still staying where he was,
He was shocked to find,
The white-robed general who defeated Lu Bu together with Generals Guan and Zhang,
At this moment, he was standing next to Lu Yan like a little brother!
Cao Cao wiped his eyes in disbelief.
After confirming again and again that it was Zhao Yun,
Cao Cao finally couldn't help but began to be ecstatic and said:
“Hey hey hey!
Mr. Lu, no, Immortal Lu is indeed a fairy-like existence.
Between flips of hands,
He actually subdued a fierce general!
Hahaha!"
"Mr. Cao! You've come back just in time. Let me introduce you..."
Lu Yan pointed at Zhao Yun, smiled and introduced to Cao Cao:
"Zhao Yun, whose courtesy name is Zilong, is from Changshan Zhending. His martial prowess is rare in the world!"
When Zhao Yun heard this, he quickly raised his hands and said humbly: "I don't deserve such compliments, sir..."
"No, you deserve it!"
Cao Cao came to Zhao Yun, held Zhao Yun's arms with both hands, and straightened his body.
"What a hero Lu Bu is?
Even Mr. Lu calls him the God of War or even the God of Ghosts!
His bravery can be imagined.
You can defeat him with Guan and Zhang,
This shows that the future of this world belongs to you!"
After hearing the meaning behind Cao Cao's words, he seemed to have great respect for Lu Yan!
Zhao Yun looked at Lu Yan, but Lu Yan shook his head vaguely.
Lu Yan knew what Zhao Yun meant,
He was asking Lu Yan if Cao Cao knew his secret.
However, Lu Yan shook his head unexpectedly,
Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel even more surprised.
At this moment,
Cao Ren returned with his troops,
He came to Cao Cao and said:
"Brother, we can't attack Hulao Pass. The princes have retreated.
Let’s go back and rest first.”
Cao Cao looked at Lu Yan and Zhao Yun and said, "Sir, Zilong, let's go back first."
Zhao Yun was a little hesitant,
After all, he is Gongsun Zan’s man,
After the battle is over, if you don't go back to your own camp, but go to the camps of other princes, will you be gossiped about...
Lu Yan smiled and said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, you don't need to care too much about other people's opinions.
You saved Gongsun Zan,
Gongsun Zan has abandoned you like worn out shoes,
Since he is unkind, you don’t have to stick to morality anymore.”
When Zhao Yun heard this, he bowed his hands to Lu Yan respectfully and said, "Yes, Yun will obey Sir's instructions."
Cao Cao laughed and said: "Today we defeated Dong Zhuo, and Zilong joined us again. Come on, come on, let's go back and celebrate together!"
Zhao Yun was noncommittal. Judging from his appearance, he was completely relying on Lu Yan's orders.
...
After the allied forces of the princes retreated,
Hulao Guanzhong,
Dong Zhuo's tiger eyes were filled with anger as he stared at the somewhat embarrassed Lu Bu and asked
"Fengxian, how could you be defeated?"
Hearing this, Lu Bu raised his head and replied:
"Father, my child was already about to kill Guan and Zhang.
But unexpectedly, Zhao Yun, who was seriously injured by the child earlier, came back to kill him!"
"Didn't you say that he was seriously injured by you?
Then he can join forces with the other two to defeat you?" Dong Zhuo asked doubtfully.
"This is also the place where children are puzzled!"
Lu Bu recalled it and said:
"Then when Zhao Yun fought against the child for the second time,
I can feel that he has returned to his peak level, and his internal strength is also extremely strong, it doesn’t look like he looked like when he was defeated by a child!”
"How can this be?"
At this time, Li Jue and Guo Si came out to prove to Lu Bu:
"Xiangguo, the two of us can testify for Marquis Wen. What Marquis Wen said is true."
"Yes, Prime Minister, Zhao Yun is quite weird!"
Two old men from Xiliang came out to testify for Lu Bu.
Dong Zhuo finally chose to believe Lu Bu's words,
But just because he believed Lu Bu's words, he now became confused.
"That's weird..."
Li Ru on Dong Zhuo's left hand side,
While thinking, he expressed his opinion:
"Zhao Yun was rescued by Cao Cao's men before.
Is it possible that Cao Cao has some treasure that can quickly restore a person's strength?"
"Cao Cao, that thief, wanted to offer a seven-star sword to assassinate our family.
The Seven-Star Sword is a rare treasure,
Maybe Cao Cao will have other treasures..."
After thinking about it, this hypothesis is the most reliable.
Dong Zhuo scratched his itchy belly and said to Lu Bu:
"My son, thank you for your hard work. You can go down and rest first to recuperate."
Lu Bu saw that Dong Zhuo did not hold him accountable,
So he quickly cupped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your kindness."
When he stood up to leave, Lu Bu nodded to Li Jue and Guo Si to express his gratitude.
Lu Bu usually didn't even look at them.
In times of crisis, they were actually willing to stand up and testify about themselves.
This made Lu Bu couldn't help but increase his favorability towards Li Jue and Guo Si, but it also laid the groundwork for his future defeat.
Dong Zhuo watched Lu Bu leave,
Then he turned to look at Li Ru and asked:
"Wen You, now the coalition forces are so powerful, what should I do?"
Li Ru thought for a while, then raised his hands and said to Dong Zhuo:
"Commitment to the Prime Minister,
After this period of observation, Ru
It was discovered that the coalition forces were not actually monolithic, but instead each had their own hidden agendas.
Among the coalition forces, there are probably only a few people such as Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Yuan Shao who are really against the Prime Minister.
The rest of the princes are just pretending to be useless."
"That's what I said, but now they will definitely not let our family go after their victory.
Do you have any good ideas?"
Asked how to do it,
Li Ru looked at the middle-aged scribe who had been sitting in the corner with his eyes closed and meditating.
"Xiang Guo, I believe Wen He has a clever plan. Why don't you ask him?"
Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up,
He knew what Jia Xu was capable of,
So he asked Jia Xu expectantly: "Wen He, do you have any clever ideas?"
Jia Xu was very happy fishing,
Suddenly, Li Ru came and caused trouble to the east.
I suddenly sighed in my heart.
Although I don’t want to waste my brain,
But as a laborer,
The boss's troubles still need to be solved occasionally.
Jia Xu opened his eyes and didn't move his body. He just cupped his hands in the distance and said:
"Back to Prime Minister's Kingdom, Xu does have a plan!"
Dong Zhuo heard this and said happily: "Wen He, please tell me!"
Jia Xu shook the feather fan in his hand and said:
"As Wen You said, the coalition forces appear to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact they all have their own agendas and hidden evil intentions.
Sun Jian's previous defeat actually came from the conflict between the coalition forces.
From this point of view,
As long as the prime minister resorts to alienation tactics, the coalition forces will collapse without a fight."
"Emmmm...but what to do?" Dong Zhuo asked.
Jia Xu said to Dong Zhuo again:
"I have heard that
Li Su and Sun Jian were old acquaintances.
The Prime Minister can send Li Su to win over Sun Jian.
Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, Sun Jian will definitely be jealous of the other princes!"
Dong Zhuo nodded and agreed: "This is a good strategy. Regardless of whether we win over Sun Jiancheng or not, the effect of alienation is achieved anyway.
