Chapter 192: Cao Cao: Yuan Shao is wise and martial!
Yuan Shao promised, and Liu Yu was the witness, as long as the princes from all walks of life work together to attack Dong, their benefits will definitely be indispensable.
With the support of Yuan Shu's grain and grass, the princes from all walks of life went to the four checkpoints of Mengjin, Hulao Pass, Jingyuan and Dagu.
The troops were divided into four groups to attack Luoyang!
Dong Zhuo ordered Xu Rong to guard Jingyuan, Dagu, Xingyang, and Chengchi line.
Lu Bu led the Bingzhou Army to Mengjin.
Li Jue and Guo Si guarded Hangu Pass to prevent other fronts from collapsing into Luoyang.
Dong Zhuo continued to move westward with all his civil and military officials.
Three months later, princes from all walks of life arrived at their respective fronts one after another, and the horn of the all-front attack on Dong was officially sounded.
After receiving Yuan Shao's order, Ma Teng and Han Sui retreated to Liangzhou and marched eastward from Liangzhou to Chang'an.
Hulao Pass.
Guan Yu called the formation at the foot of the pass.
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei formed a formation for Guan Yu.
They must win this war. Only in this way can the princes who look down on them shut up.
"Hua Xiong, come out and die quickly!" Guan Yu shouted under the city gate, asking Hua Xiong to come out and die.
"Who is this man?" Hua Xiong lay under the city wall and looked down. He saw a strong man with a face as big as a jujube and a beard two feet long shouting at the gate of the city.
"Back to the general, this person is Guan Yu under Liu Bei, the vanguard of Yuan Shao." The scout answered truthfully.
Yuan Shao re-employed Liu Bei and his entourage, and this matter had long been known to everyone.
Information can be easily found out.
"Guan Yu? Never heard of him, wait until I behead him and weaken Yuan Shao's spirit!" Hua Xiong instantly gained courage when he heard that the other party was an unknown young general.
After all, Hua Xiong is also the number one warrior in the Xiliang Army. How dare an unknown young general dare to call for death?
Hua Xiong couldn't bear this, so he took his weapons and mounts and went out to fight.
"Creak."
The city gate of Hulao Pass slowly opened.
Hua Xiong rode a powerful horse and slowly came out of the city gate holding a phoenix-billed knife.
"It finally came out." Liu Bei looked at this scene happily.
Hulao Pass is a majestic pass. If the enemy does not leave the pass and defends Hulao Pass, they will be very difficult to defeat.
But now it's okay, the other party has come out.
As far as he knew, there were no other generals in Hulao Pass except Hua Xiong.
Next, all he needs is his second brother to kill Hua Xiong, which will greatly demoralize the Xiliang army. The Xiliang army will be leaderless and will definitely be defeated. Hulao Pass is naturally advisable!
"Are you the Guan Yu who served under Liu Bei, the pioneer of Yuan Shao?" Hua Xiong pointed at Guan Yu with his long knife.
"How brave, let me see how you take my Hua Xiong's head!"
"Fight!" Hua Xiong drove the powerful horse under his crotch and struck Guan Yu with his sword horizontally.
And Guan Yu also rode the horse on his crotch, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and slashed at Hua Xiong.
Liu Bei, who was standing by Guan Yu, drew his swords to support Guan Yu if anything went wrong.
But Liu Bei's move was obviously unnecessary.
"Qiang!"
Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword collided with Hua Xiong's long sword, making a trembling metallic sound.
Guan Yu's huge power shocked Hua Xiong's mouth to numbness!
Just after the first round, Hua Xiong knew that the red-faced strong man in front of him was not something he could handle.
He wanted to ride his horse back to defend.
But how could Guan Yu let him go back?
If Hua Xiong goes back, it will be difficult at Hulao Pass!
He has been clinging to Hua Xiong and pursuing him relentlessly.
Hua Xiong ran towards the pass while resisting Guan Yu's attack.
The two sides fought for several rounds. Hua Xiong was always at a disadvantage and was almost killed by Guan Yu. He had no room to fight back.
At this time, Zhang Fei also rode his horse forward to help his second brother kill Hua Xiong and prevent him from escaping back.
"Open the city gate quickly!" Seeing that he was not far from the city gate, Hua Xiong shouted towards the deputy general on the city wall.
"Creak!"
The city gate of Hulao Pass opened again.
Seeing the city gate open, Hua Xiong seemed to see hope and ran towards the city gate with all his strength.
As long as Guan Yu dares to follow, he guarantees that Guan Yu will have no way in or out.
When Guan Yu saw the city gate opening again, he became a little anxious and chased after him.
But before Hua Xiong could reach the city gate, the Xiliang cavalry rushed out of the city gate, bypassed Hua Xiong and Guan Yu, and ran toward Liu Bei from both sides.
"Kill!"
Hua Xiong was stunned when he saw this scene.
"Who gave this order!" Hua Xiong shouted loudly.
A steady stream of cavalry rushed out of the city gate, how could they let him go back?
"Charge!" Liu Bei raised his sword and galloped forward.
Although it did not go according to plan, field battles were much easier to fight than siege battles.
If they couldn't win a field battle, let alone a siege battle.
Hua Xiong was stunned for a moment.
"Puff!" A sound.
Hua Xiong's head was chopped off by Guan Yu from behind.
Until his death, Hua Xiong wondered who was harming him.
"The enemy general has been killed! Those who surrender will not be killed!" Guan Yu picked up Hua Xiong's head and shouted.
When the Xiliang army that had just rushed out saw Hua Xiong being killed, their morale was instantly lost and they rushed towards the pass.
But the city gate is so big, how could so many people pour in at once?
Countless Xiliang troops blocked the city gate and became Liu Bei's target.
The adjutant on the city wall was stunned when he saw this scene. This was different from what he had imagined.
The Xiongguan Hulao Pass was breached by Liu Bei in such a childish way.
"Okay, great!" Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard that Liu Bei had conquered Hulao Pass.
Not long ago, Sun Jian was defeated by Xu Rong in Jingyuan and Dagu.
Mengjin was guarded by Lu Bu, so the coalition forces could not land.
But it happened that at this time, Hulao Pass was breached by Liu Bei!
As expected, his guess was correct. Hua Xiong did not escape the fate of dying under Guan Yu's sword.
Yuan Shao began to lead his army into Sili Luoyang.
At this time, Luoyang had long been reduced to ruins.
Lu Bu and Xu Rong also withdrew their troops early when Hulao Pass was breached and assisted Li Jue and Guo Si in returning to defend Hangu Pass.
Other princes also gathered again in Luoyang from the directions of Mengjin, Jinyuan, and Dagu.
"Who let Hua Xiong come out of seclusion!" Yuan Shao was happy.
But Dong Zhuo was not happy.
At this time, the Prime Minister's Mansion was in a mess, and all the porcelain vases were broken by Hua Xiong.
Now not only the general Hua Xiong died in battle, but also Hulao Pass was lost.
If the front lines of Hangu Pass and Tongguan are being lost, he will be completely defeated and have no other choice!
"Go and call Li Ru." Dong Zhuo immediately asked his men to call Li Ru. He wanted to ask Li Ru if there was any other way.
At this time, Yuan Shao had already gone to Luoyang City to obtain the Jade Seal of the Kingdom.
Give it to Yuan Shu.
"How about it, I didn't lie to you." Yuan Shao patted Yuan Shu on the shoulder and said.
"You really gave this to me?" Yuan Shu still didn't believe it.
This is the national jade seal.
Yuan Shao gave it to himself as he said it would be given to him.
"Haha, of course I take it seriously." Yuan Shao replied casually.
If he couldn't take things from this world with him, how could he not want them?
This is the national jade seal, who wouldn’t want it?
"Well, since my brother is so generous, I can't be stingy. I will not be short of food and grass from all the princes." Yuan Shu was in a good mood after receiving the imperial seal. He stopped calling Yuan Benchu directly. Instead, he called Yuan Shao his brother and told Yuan Shao.
I promise that I will never deprive other princes of their food and grass.
"Wait a minute." Yuan Shao called to Yuan Shu who was about to leave.
"What? Could it be that my brother regretted it?" When Yuan Shu saw Yuan Shao calling him, he thought that Yuan Shao wanted to regret it, so he reluctantly gave him the jade seal.
But how could he return what he had already obtained to Yuan Shao?
"Haha, how could I regret it?"
"Since you call me brother, I would also like to remind you that the Imperial Seal is an external object. You will not bring it with you when you are alive, and you will not take it with you after death. Only by being strong yourself is the way to be an emperor." When Yuan Shao saw Yuan Shu calling him his brother, Yuan Shao said,
He couldn't bear Yuan Shu to make the same mistake again, so he reminded Yuan Shu not to attach too much importance to the national jade seal.
"Well said, the only way to be emperor is to be strong!" Liu Xie learned something from Yuan Shao again.
He was kidnapped by Dong Zhuo again and again. Wasn't it because he was not strong?
If you have military power in your hands and become stronger, not to mention Dong Zhuo, which of the princes in the pass would dare to move!
"Humph, thank you for your kindness, brother." Yuan Shu snorted arrogantly and left with the imperial seal.
"Hey." Looking at Yuan Shu's background, Yuan Shao also sighed deeply. He knew that Yuan Shu didn't listen.
The next day, Ma Teng came out, and besides Han Sui, other princes gathered in the conference hall in Luoyang.
This is a temporary conference hall they newly built.
"Everyone, we can enter Luoyang today because of Xuande's contribution! Let us celebrate Xuande!" Yuan Shao held up a glass of wine and suggested that other princes celebrate with Liu Bei.
After the battle at Hulao Pass, no one underestimated Liu Bei anymore.
The other two fronts had no results. Only Liu Bei's front broke through Hulao Pass and entered Luoyang.
"Thank you for your support, I, Liu Bei, was lucky enough to win this battle." Liu Bei returned the greetings to the other princes one by one.
His luck indeed played a large part in this battle.
If the Xiliang army hadn't rushed out in the end, Hua Xiong would have fled back to Hulao Pass, and it would have been difficult for them to deal with it then.
"Everyone, now we have entered Luoyang, but unfortunately we are still too late. Luoyang, the imperial capital for 200 years, was destroyed by a fire by Dong's thieves and turned into ruins. I am very heartbroken!"
Yuan Shao covered his face and cried bitterly.
The other princes also covered their faces and cried bitterly, whether it was true or false.
There was a sense of sadness in the hall.
"Now Thief Dong has robbed the emperor and all the officials to Chang'an. If Thief Dong is not dead, we will not succeed in attacking Dong!" Yuan Shao calmed down his inner mood, reorganized his words, and directed the conflict to Thief Dong.
"Yes, as long as Dong's thieves are not killed, our alliance to defeat Dong will not break up."
"Surge into Chang'an and chop off Thief Dong's head!"
"Yes, enter Chang'an!"
Other princes agreed.
Anyway, during this expedition, Dong Yuan Shao had already given them all the food, grass and weapons they had promised.
This made other princes who had tasted the sweetness want to continue eating.
"Okay, you guys have such courage! Why worry about my big man not being happy?"
"There are four passes between Luoyang and Chang'an."
"They are Hangu Pass, Mianchi, Shaanxian, and Tongguan. The four passes alone cannot block the passage of the army."
"So this time we are still divided into three groups."
"All the way from Bingzhou to Sufang, and then from Sufang into Chang'an, put pressure on Dong Zhuo, and at the same time put pressure on General Ma Teng and Han Sui."
"The other group set out from Nanyang with surprise troops, captured Wuguan, went around behind Tongguan, and followed the third group from Hangu Pass to attack the four passes of Hangu Pass, Mianchi, Shaanxi County, and Tongguan."
"As long as we take these four passes, we can approach Luoyang!"
Yuan Shao quickly explained his combat plan.
This is the combat strategy he came up with after staying up late at night.
Luoyang has been burned.
The remaining two tasks must not be missed.
And Ma Teng had already written to him, telling them that he could hold on for two months at most. If there were no reinforcements in two months, they would not be able to withstand Dong Zhuo's attack, which made Yuan Shao even more anxious.
If Ma Teng and Han Sui were defeated, Yuan Shao was worried that Ma Teng and Han Sui would surrender to Dong Zhuo just like they did in their original world, and Dong Zhuo would move west again and escape into the Western Regions.
If Dong Zhuo was really allowed to escape into the Western Regions, no princes would be willing to pursue him.
"What a great idea!" After hearing Yuan Shao's strategic plan, even Cao Cao's eyes lit up.
Even he couldn't find fault with this battle plan.
With Chang'an as the center, three groups came out, plus Ma Teng and Han Sui from Xiliang, completely surrounding Chang'an, leaving Dong Zhuo with no way to escape.
The most overly excited among them was Liu Bei.
Kuang Fu Han Room is just around the corner!
"Xuande, this time you are also the vanguard of the army, leading 20,000 light cavalry, detouring from Bingzhou to Chang'an from Sufang, and quickly supporting General Ma Teng."
"Cao Cao, you are the deputy general to assist Xuande."
"Han Fu, after Xuande arrives at Sufang, you can transport siege equipment and grain for Xuande."
"The highway, Wuguan side will be left to you!"
Yuan Shao quickly began to make arrangements for other princes.
No one in this world is more familiar with the crusade against Dong Zhuo than him.
Yuan Shao considered all the situations that could be considered and analyzed the current situation based on the experience of the former World Defenders.
"This Yuan Benchu is not as unbearable as Cao Mengde said!" People watching the live broadcast in the outside world have changed their views on Yuan Shao.
But they didn't know that Yuan Shao's ability to make such a detailed battle plan relied on his rich experience.
Yuan Shao defeated Dong, large and small, almost five times in total.
If there were any mistakes, Yuan Shao would not live anymore.
"Yes!" The princes from all walks of life followed the order one after another.
"For the present plan of the Prime Minister, we can only hope to survive by defeating Xiliang Ma Teng, entering the Hexi Corridor, and heading to the Western Regions." On the other hand, Li Ru also suggested that Dong Zhuo use Liangzhou as a breakthrough point to enter the Western Regions.
Li Ru also considered it in Yizhou, Hanzhong, but the princes who entered Yizhou Pass could still enter Yizhou from Jingzhou, and the threat to them was not reduced at all.
Instead of doing this, it is better to go directly to the Western Regions through the Hexi Corridor.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll call Lu Bu back and attack Ma Teng and Han Sui with all my strength. Let's go to the Western Regions!" Dong Zhuo also broke the jar.
He didn't expect that even though he had fled to Chang'an, these princes still wouldn't let him go and they would definitely rush into Chang'an and take his head.
Dong Zhuo immediately sent people to Hangu Pass to transfer Lu Bu back.
Li Jue, Guo Si and others are all guarding the princes in Hangu Pass. The only ones he can fight here are Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew.
But in the original world, Yanzhou Yingchuan.
Representatives of the Yingchuan family gathered at the Chen family.
"Everyone, I won't say much more. I believe everyone knows the seriousness of the matter. We must capture Chen Liu before Cao Cao comes back!" The head of the Chen family said to the representatives of other aristocratic families.
Now Cao Cao has gained Liu Bei's initial trust and allowed Liu Bei to find Guan Yu.
After Guan Yu returned to Liu Bei, there was no need to kill Yan Liang or Wen Chou.
It is really possible for Cao Cao to complete these two tasks.
This made many aristocratic families start to worry.
Cao Cao originally had many soldiers and generals.
If Cao Cao had completed his mission and awakened the invincible Lu Bu with his magical skills, they would have done nothing!
Therefore, they must capture Chen Liu before Cao Cao comes back and win a greater victory for themselves!
"Don't worry, Patriarch Chen, our Patriarch means the same thing." The representative of the Xun family agreed.
"The same is true for our family master."
.......
Other family heads agreed one after another.
Now that they are at odds with Cao Cao, there is no retreat on this road, and we will fight to the end one by one.
Either their family wins, or Cao Cao changes the situation where knowledge is monopolized by the family!
At this time, Cao Cao was still working hard to conquer Liu Bei and Yuan Shao.
Although he initially gained Liu Bei's trust, his ultimate goal was Yuan Shao's trust.
Only by letting Yuan Shao believe what he said can this matter be foolproof!
