One surge of energy builds up, then it weakens, and three times it becomes exhausted.
This sentence is not unreasonable. Lu Bu failed to win the first two battles and suffered a defeat in the other, so this third battle was also defeated without any dispute.
After this battle, Lu Bu's mood completely hit rock bottom. Coupled with Hu Zhen's lack of military discipline, Lu Bu became very angry.
"Haha..." At this moment, Hu Zhen arrived late. Seeing Lu Bu with a depressed look on his face, Hu Zhen felt secretly happy, but in order to save his face, he still comforted Lu Bu and said, "Good morning, Lord Marquis."
Cao Cao, when I lead my troops to meet with the young Sun Jian, I will definitely kill Sun Jian under his horse within three rounds."
Lu Bu sneered and said nothing.
Hu Zhen looked cold and didn't feel like saying anything more. He had no choice but to bow his hand to Lu Bu and lead his generals out of Dazhai.
Outside Dazhai, one of Hu Zhen's men whispered: "Boss, do we want to fight Sun Jian?"
Hu Zhen spat: "Hit? Beat me! Then Lu Fengxian is no match for Sun Jian, why should we join in the fun? Let's go and continue drinking and eating meat!"
...
Inside Hulao Pass.
Dong Zhuo gave Li Ru the task of sacking Luoyang, but he himself hid in Hulao Pass and slept heavily.
"Report!" the subordinate said outside the horse tent.
Dong Zhuo hummed and squinted his eyes: "Speak!"
"Prime Minister, General Lu has been defeated!"
"What?" Dong Zhuo sat up and shouted, "Fengxian was defeated? What happened? Tell the truth!"
Tan Ma described what he saw to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was also shocked after hearing this.
"Li Ru isn't around, so I don't have any ideas for planning. The coalition forces are currently very powerful. Well, it seems that we have to speed up the process of moving the capital!"
After Dong Zhuo muttered to himself, he ordered Tan Ma to put aside the fighting in the camp in front of Hulao Pass for the time being. Instead, he asked Tan Ma to inform Li Ru in Luoyang, asking him to speed up the progress, and issued an oral order. If there was anyone who refused to accept or cooperate, he would be punished.
kill!
Luoyang.
Li Ru carried out Dong Zhuo's plan to move the capital in an orderly manner. In fact, Li Ru and Dong Zhuo had already discussed this plan.
Li Ru made suggestions at that time, saying that he wanted to seize the properties of some wealthy noble families before leaving, but Dong Zhuo intensified his plan to dig up the imperial tomb.
Li Ru originally thought that this was impossible, but after opening an imperial mausoleum, Li Ru's young mind was shocked by the mountains of buried treasures inside the imperial mausoleum.
"This treasure is so much!" Li Ru wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and shouted, "Hurry up, you... you... and the rest of you, put that box
Move over!”
...
In the front line of Hulao Pass, although Sun Jian temporarily pushed back Lu Bu, Lu Bu still far surpassed Sun Jian in terms of military strength.
"Lord!" Cheng Pu stepped forward and said, "What should we do if Lu Bu can't get out? How about we fight over?"
Sun Jian shook his head: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Lu Bu will feel very uncomfortable after losing the battle. All you have to do is wait quietly, Lu Bu will come uninvited!"
Sun Jian originally made up his mind to sit back and wait, waiting for Lu Bu to challenge him again, but when Huang Gai stepped forward and told the news, Sun Jian's face turned green.
Huang Gai said: "Lord, our army is running out of food and grass!"
Sun Jian was surprised and said: "What about Wen Jie? Isn't Wen Jie responsible for allocating food and grass? How come we don't have enough food and grass?"
Huang Gai said helplessly: "Han Fu said before that he had something to do, so he led his troops back to Jujube, where the coalition troops are stationed."
When Sun Jian heard this, he cursed: "Han Wen Jie, you coward!"
After scolding, the battle had to continue. Although there was not much food and grass, there was still no problem if he could barely hold on for a few days. Sun Jian called the general in charge of the food. After careful questioning, he decided to continue fighting, but the strategy
Finally, Sun Jian had to make changes.
"Pass my order, go to Cao Cao's camp and ask Cao Cao to borrow some military rations! Besides, you don't have to wait any longer. Come with me to attack and break through his Hulao Pass."
Inside Cao Cao's military camp.
Cao Cao was also shocked when he heard that Sun Jian was short of food and grass.
"How many days can your master's food last?"
Sun Jian's subordinates replied: "It will only take three days to reply to your Majesty's words."
"Hiss" Cao Cao seemed to notice something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what the problem was at the moment, so he looked at Ma Xiaoquan who had his eyes closed next to him. Xiao Jue said: Damn, you've been pretending for a long time, you should wake up.
La! Ma Xiaoquan opened his eyes, glanced at Sun Jian's subordinates, and asked Cao Cao: "Xiao Cao, the war on the front line is tense right now. Although you and Sun Jian are not far apart, Sun Jian is brave and brave, so I hope you can extend your friendship."
Hands, bring out the spirit of daddy and gay friend..."
Since the days of getting along with Master Shangxian, Cao Cao has finally understood what it means to be a nanny and a gay friend. Therefore, as soon as Ma Xiaoquan opened his mouth, Cao Cao nodded and promised Sun Jian's subordinates: "Go back and tell your lord, I'm here
Lend him food and grass for four days!"
Sun Jian's subordinates were overjoyed and thanked him profusely.
After the people left, Cao Cao turned to look at Ma Xiaoquan...
This shameless thing closed his eyes again. Xiao Jue said: I am fucking speechless to you, Ma Xiaoquan...
Sun Jian was very happy after receiving the news that Cao Cao agreed to borrow food and fodder. Sun Jian said: "Looking at the coalition forces, only Mengde is of the same mind as me, and the others are all just like me! Pass my order and all the formations will be ready. The sky is darkening."
Later, follow me to break through Hulao Pass."
With Hulao closed, Dong Zhuo became more and more frightened as he thought about it. On the one hand, he was worried that all the coalition forces would be dispatched. On the other hand, Dong Zhuo was still thinking about the treasures that Li Ru had looted.
"I wonder how Li Ru dug up the imperial tomb?"
Dong Zhuo thought for a moment and finally decided to withdraw from Hulao Pass, leaving only Li Jue, Guo Si and other generals to garrison.
It was night, and there were stars in the sky, and a bright moon was shining in the sky. The weather in the first month was unpredictable, and Sun Jian's army was mostly soldiers from the south. The weather in the Central Plains had a big temperature difference between morning and night. It was still a little warm during the day, but at night, it was extremely cold, and there were many soldiers from the south.
After only a few days of discomfort, most people develop sores on their hands and feet, which makes them very uncomfortable.
Sun Jian led a group of soldiers to ambush in the bushes not far from Lu Bu's stronghold. They were also shivering from the cold.
"Damn it!" Sun Jian became more and more angry as he thought about it. Thinking of Han Fu's withdrawal before the battle, he was suffocating his anger.
"Lord!" Han Dang secretly stepped forward and whispered, "It seems that Lu Bu is asleep! How about we attack his stronghold now?"
Sun Jian pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "No, Lu Bu and the Dong thieves are connected in a line. If they are not cut off, the soldiers will continue to send out. We don't have much rations, and we don't have as many people as the Dong thieves. We can't fight."
If we don’t talk about success first, it will be difficult to maintain it if we consume it.”
In fact, Sun Jian didn't know it. Dong Zhuo had already withdrawn from Hulao Pass because of a guilty conscience. When Dong Zhuo left, he also took a large number of troops with him. In other words, the current Hulao Pass is actually an empty shell.
"Do you want to send someone to spy on the situation?"
Sun Jian said: "That's fine. I'll tell you the words of Yi Gong Han Dang. Remember, if there is any danger, get back immediately!"
Han Dang clasped his hands into fists and said softly: "General, I will obey your orders!" After saying that, Han Dang lowered his head and bowed his body and retreated.
"Ha" Sun Jian breathed heavily into his hands and waited quietly for news about Han Dang.
In the stronghold in front of Hulao Pass, Lu Bu held a wine flask in his arms and sat in front of the desk in a daze. The previous defeat made him very unhappy. Hu Zhen promised to send troops together, but there was no movement.
.
"My foster father, it's true that I couldn't arrange it for anyone, but I chose Hu Zhen to be with me!" Lu Bu became angrier as he thought about it, and threw down the empty wine bottle in his arms with a bang.
"Come here! Bring me another bottle of wine!"
The servants presented a pot of soju, and Lu Bu grabbed it, took a swig, and asked, "In the pass, how is your foster father?"
The servant replied: "Master Hou, the prime minister has retreated!"
"What?" Lu Bu had just taken half a sip of wine. When he heard that Dong Zhuo had withdrawn, he didn't even bother to swallow it, and spat out the words along with the wine.
The servant said: "Master Marquis, when the Prime Minister leaves, ask the young one to bring a message to Master Hou."
Lu Bu stopped wiping his mouth: "Speak!"
"The Prime Minister said that if the Marquis loses, the Prime Minister will not blame you..."
Lu Bu felt at ease after listening to his servants repeating Dong Zhuo's words.
"My foster father treated me really well. He didn't blame me even if he knew I lost. Well, in that case, I will give him a good fight. Even if I can't beat him, it's not too late to leave!"
Lu Bu made up his mind and didn't even sleep. He quickly summoned his subordinates, made a simple arrangement, and hurriedly left the main tent.
As for Sun Jianjun, the scouts sent by Han Dang were also quick and sneaked into Hulao Pass, only to find that the pass was basically empty. Except for some military supplies that had been hoarded, women's voices could still be heard.
After the scout came back and told Han Dang the situation, Han Dang was very happy and quickly reported it to Sun Jian. After hearing this, Sun Jian was overjoyed and sighed to the sky: "God is really helping me!"
Sun Jian did not hesitate, and immediately reorganized his army secretly, intending to bypass Lu Bu and attack Hulao Pass directly.
Unexpectedly, just as I was getting ready, I heard someone calling for formation not far away.
Listening carefully, it turned out to be the voice of Lu Bu's army.
"Is this Lu Bu going to fight at night?" Sun Jian thought about it and thought it was impossible. The vanguard troops were ambushing him outside the tent. He was not afraid of Lu Bu fighting at night. Moreover, it happened to be when Lu Bu was calling for formation.
After a while, a direct attack will be carried out to cut off his connection with the Hulao Pass.
After Sun Jian made up his mind, he immediately gave the order without stopping. After some adjustments, the generals quietly waited for Sun Jian's order.
Sun Jian pricked up his ears and listened again. Lu Bu was still calling for formation in front of their tent door.
"This man!" Sun Jian shook his head, pulled out the ancient ingot sword with a clang, and shouted: "Generals, listen to the order, Duke Demou will follow me into Hulao Pass, Duke Wen and others will be responsible for cutting off the rear, Ruona
When Lu Bu counterattacks, you can ambush the crossbowmen on both sides of the road. Remember, you must slow down Lu Bu's return."
All the generals listened to the order and said in unison: "General, I will obey!"
After giving the order, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Sun Jian went to Hulao Pass, while Han Dang and others were ambushing the crossbowmen by the roadside, waiting for Lu Bu to return.
Lü Bu called for formation in front of Sun Jian's formation. After shouting for a long time, no one came out. Lü Bu became alert and sent his scouts to sneak in to spy on the situation. The scouts came to report that Sun Jian's camp was empty.
"What?" Lu Bu was shocked. Just before he was surprised, he suddenly heard a shout of killing not far behind him.
