Chapter 130: Entering Hulao Pass

After everyone finished drinking the bloody wine, Ao Lie raised the sea bowl in his hand high and threw it hard to the ground. With a crisp and crisp sound, the sea bowl was broken.

The other princes also raised the bowls in their hands and fell to the ground. Crisp sounds one after another. "Okay!" Ao Lie strode to the center of the station, unfolded the manifesto handed over by Zhao Yun, and said loudly: "The Han Dynasty was unfortunate, and the imperial system was out of power. The rebel Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to commit crimes, causing trouble to the emperor and abuse the people. We all joined forces and worked together to fight against the national crisis. If we all agreed to do this, the heavens and the earth would be destroyed. The emperor and the empress are the three-foot gods as evidence!"

This manifesto is written in a grand manner. When Ao Lie recited it, he made the princes from all over the country feel moved. Tao Qian and Kong Rong, the older princes, were even more crying and worried about the future of the country.

After reading the manifesto, Ao Lie walked back to the seat of the leader, sat down slowly, and said loudly: "General Sun, let's lead your troops as the vanguard and set the way forward. Remember not to go deep alone, focus on clearing the road and inquiring about information."

Sun Jian took a step forward and replied loudly: "No!"

Ao Lie's eyes swam around the crowd, and finally fell on Yuan Shao, saying, "Brother Benchu, please be in charge of the army's food and grass. It is necessary to ensure that the food and fodder supply of General Sun's front and other people is complete."

Yuan Shao never expected Ao Lie to hand over the important task of transporting food and grass to him. Logically speaking, there was something dirty between the two just now. Why did the situation suddenly change in the blink of an eye? Is there any conspiracy? Sitting in the seat in a daze, Yuan Shao pondered Ao Lie's intentions.

He chuckled and Ao Lie said, "Why, Brother Benchu ​​is not willing to take on this important task? Don't worry, when the food and grass are delivered, I will ignore it. You are fully responsible. You just need to supply the food and grass on time."

After hearing Ao Lie's words, Yuan Shao's face turned red. Now Ao Lie clearly had no other intentions and gave the full responsibility of food and grass to himself. If he hesitated, he would not only lose face and lose his temperament, but also arouse dissatisfaction from other princes. So Yuan Shao stood up and replied: "Thank you, Marquis Ao Jun, for entrusting the important tasks. Shao is willing to take on the position of escorting food and grass, so that all departments of our army will not have any problems due to food and fodder."

In fact, Ao Lie did this not to win over Yuan Shao, but among the various princes, there were only Cao Cao and Yuan Shao who were able to take on this important task. Ao Lie knew very well about Cao Cao's strengths. It was really a bit insignificant to entrust food and grass to transport food, so Ao Lie handed over this important task to Yuan Shao. He believed that Yuan Shao, who was born in the fourth generation and the third prince, would definitely be able to handle these details well. Moreover, Ao Lie was not afraid of Yuan Shao's random actions. Yuan Shao was not Yuan Shu. Yuan Shao's overall view was far better than Yuan Shu, and he would not privately deduct the food and grass from various people like Yuan Shu in history.

Ao Lie turned his gaze to Cao Cao again: "Meng De, you have been by Dong Zhuo for a while before. You should be quite clear about Dong Zhuo's temper and weaknesses and the deployment of the Xiliang Army. You should be the military advisor and give advice to our army, can you?"

Cao Cao was also surprised that the status of the military advisor was second only to the leader of the alliance. However, he never expected that Ao Lie would hand over the task of formulating a combat plan to himself. At the same time, through Ao Lie's arrangement, Cao Cao also deeply realized that Ao Lie knew people and made good use of them, and could arrange different types of people to the most suitable position. It was just that people could do their best. Cao Cao sincerely admired this. Taking a step forward, Cao Cao said loudly: "Cao is willing to take on the important task of being a military advisor, thanking Junhou for his kindness."

Ao Lie nodded and continued, "Premier Zhang, Governor Liu, Kong Beihai and Envoy Tao, you four teams are adjourning the back to prevent the clerk from striking our army. The rest of the people will follow this marquis to advance and attack Hulao Pass!"

Everyone replied in unison: "No!"

On that day, everyone discussed military affairs and then dispersed. Among them, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, secretly thought that all the important positions of the coalition forces were occupied by others. If they could not establish a great achievement, they would probably not be able to gain enough benefits. So Bao Xin took the night to lead three thousand elite troops to go out of the camp privately and head towards Hulaoguan.

In Luoyang City, in the palace, Dong Zhuo's fat body was lying on a dragon bed covered with gold and jade carvings and brocade. While accepting the imperial doctor's dressings, he played with a broken heart protection mirror and said angrily: "Thanks to this heart protection mirror, otherwise Ao Mohan would have stabbed our family with one sword. Wenyou, tomorrow you should follow the style of this quick heart protection mirror, find a few craftsmen with good skills, and create a new one for our family. This thing is a good thing for self-defense."

Li Ru, who was standing on one side, bent down and replied, "Yes, Ru has recorded it. Don't worry, father-in-law, you can make it in just one day."

The curtain of the bedroom was suddenly lifted open, and Lu Bu, who had a tiger's back and a wolf's waist, walked in in a tiger's footsteps, and stood five steps away from Dong Zhuo, saying, "Tai Shi, all the princes have already met in the Sour Zao Alliance, and sent Changsha Prefect Sun Jian as the vanguard, to look in Hulao Pass."

Li Ru asked in anger: "Since there is an alliance, there must be a leader. I don't know who this leader is?"

Lu Bu looked at Li Ru sideways and said slowly: "Champion Hou Aolie."

"This thief! He just assassinated our family, and then ran to be the leader of the Laoshizi. He was really a very evil crime! Fengxian, go to Hulao Pass and kill all the princes in our family!" Dong Zhuo heard that the leader of the coalition was Ao Lie, and immediately started to curse.

Lu Bu was extremely hesitant. He really didn't want to meet Ao Lie, but he had to listen to Dong Zhuo's words, so he was very hesitant and did not answer Dong Zhuo's orders.

Li Ru, who was standing by, accidentally relieved Lu Bu: "My father-in-law is relieved. Ao Lie is very brave and must not resist the Marquis of Wen, but he must first settle the country when he fights against foreign powers. Now, the governor of Bingzhou Ding Yuan led his troops outside the city, which is a big concern. My father-in-law should first destroy Ding Yuan's troops. As for Hulao Pass, he should not be ignored. He temporarily sent a tiger general to guard the city. After destroying Ding Yuan, he would send a large army to Hulao." Since Lu Bu became accomplice, Dong Zhuo attached great importance to him, so he granted Lu Bu the title of Marquis of Wen. That is why Li Ru called Lu Bu the Marquis of Wen.

Dong Zhuo turned his head and thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "It makes sense, Wen You said it makes sense. So, Fengxian is the best at understanding the details of the Bingzhou Army, so how about Fengxian's extermination of Dingyuan and the Bingzhou Army?"

As long as he was not dealing with Ao Lie, Lu Bu did not hesitate at all and immediately replied: "No!"

"As for Hulao Pass, has Hua Xiong's injuries healed? If nothing serious is wrong, let him take 50,000 troops to guard Hulao Pass first." Dong Zhuo thought for a while and said.

Li Ru nodded and said, "Father-in-law is very smart, and this arrangement is extremely appropriate. Hua Xiong is not seriously injured. After these two days of cultivation, there should be no problem."

Dong Zhuo was stabbed by Ao Lie in recent days and could not get close to women. He had already been in a state of suffocation. Seeing that the matter was assigned, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's nothing. You all go down and call the palace maids who are waiting outside in. Our family wants to listen to them humming a little song."

That night, after receiving Dong Zhuo's order, Hua Xiong did not care that the night was getting deep, and ignited 50,000 troops and headed towards Hulao overnight. The reason why Hua Xiong was so anxious was not because he was so loyal to Dong Zhuo, but because of Ao Lie! Hua Xiong had a relationship for more than ten years and had not met an enemy, but was shot by Ao Lie three days ago. This incident became a great humiliation for Hua Xiong. He heard that Ao Lie had already sat on the throne of the coalition leader and the soldiers invaded Hulao, how could Hua Xiong bear it? He wished he could kill into the coalition camp overnight.

After a quick trip in the middle of the night, Hua Xiong and his army of 50,000 had arrived near Hulao Pass. At this time, a visitor came to report: "Report to the general, the scout in front found a team of troops approaching Hulao Pass! Judging from the flag, it should be the troops of Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei."

"Hmph." Hua Xiong snorted coldly: "I haven't met Ao Lie, I'll meet Bao Xin first. I'll get some interest first to humiliate him before the purge. I'll send an order to surround Bao Xin's troops and kill him without leaving any armor."

But Bao Xin and his younger brother Bao Zhong led the three thousand troops to step up the march. Seeing that Hulao Pass was not far away, Bao Xinxi said happily: "If we brothers attacked Hulao Pass overnight, they should make the first contribution to the coalition forces. Let's see if those princes dare to underestimate someone."

Just as Bao Xin was dreaming, a rapid sound of war drums shattered all his dreams. Tens of thousands of Xiliang troops suddenly surrounded him from all directions, besieging Bao Xin's three thousand troops in the center.

Hua Xiong rode his horse in his arms, roared: "Rats will die!"

Seeing Hua Xiong's extraordinary aura, Bao Zhong hurriedly said to Bao Xin: "Brother retreat quickly, I will block the enemy general." Before Bao Xin could reply, Hua Xiong had arrived, raised the big knife in his hand and chopped down at Bao Zhong's face.

In a hurry, Bao Zhong raised his spear and tried his best to face Hua Xiong's big sword. With a click, Bao Zhong's long spear was cut off by Hua Xiong's knife. Hua Xiong's knife-like force had not yet disappeared, and he still chopped Bao Zhong and his horse to both ends.

Bao Xin was shocked when he saw this and shouted heartbrokenly: "Second brother!"

Hua Xiong turned the sword, with a cold smile on his lips, and said to Bao Xin: "You go and die too." The sword in his hand suddenly turned around, and like the sword technique that had previously killed Bao Zhong, he slashed from the high altitude and headed straight for Bao Xin's sky cover.

Bao Xin's martial arts skills are not as good as Bao Zhong, so how could he be Hua Xiong's opponent? He only let out a scream and was split into two ends by Hua Xiong, following Bao Zhong's footsteps.

After killing two generals in a row, Hua Xiong felt the resentment in his heart eased a little. He commanded his subordinate Xiliang army to kill all the three thousand soldiers brought by Bao Xin, then raised his head, looked in the direction of the sour jujube, and murmured: "Ao Mohan, you are waiting, you still have to compete with you."

Outside Luoyang City, in the Bingzhou Army camp, a scene of killing was also taking place at this moment. Lu Bu led the headquarters to 3,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry as the vanguard, and Li Ru led 20,000 Western Liang warriors as the backcourt, echoing each other's camp of Dingyuan. Because Lu Bu had a high prestige in the Bingzhou Army, the Bingzhou Army knew that Lu Bu was a contemporary god of war. When he saw that Lu Bu led his army to attack the camp, many people had no desire to resist and asked Lu Bu to surrender. In addition, Li Ru commanded the Western Liang warriors to attack the side camps on both wings of the Bingzhou Army, cutting off the retreat of the Bingzhou Army, which made the Bingzhou Army even more panic.

After midnight fighting, Lu Bu's troops finally broke through the front camp of the Bingzhou Army. Lu Bu rode his horse into the camp and came to the front of the central army's tent.

Ding Yuan stood in front of the camp by pressing his sword, surrounded by generals at all levels in the Bingzhou army.

After seeing Ding Yuan, Lu Bu bowed to Ding Yuan immediately on the Red Rabbit and said, "Governor Ding, we're meeting again."

Ding Yuan sighed and said, "Bengxian, do you still recognize this governor?"

Lu Bu nodded seriously and said, "No matter when and where, the governor will never forget Lu Bu's kindness forever."

"Since that's the case, why do you want to be accomplice for the tiger!" A general next to Ding Yuan asked Lu Bu.

Lu Bu looked in a blink of an eye and recognized that he was Gao Shun, the general under Ding Yuan's tent. When facing Gao Shun's questioning, Lu Bu was silent for a while before saying, "It's true that Bu wandered on the grassland when he was young. You have known that Dong Zhuo had saved a certain life on the grassland, but now he can't see Dong Zhuo buried under the swords and weapons. That's it. Whether you believe it or not, Lu Bu said this."

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu turned his back to Bingzhou military camp to serve Dong Zhuo. It was because of this reason. Gao Shun opened his mouth and wanted to refute it, but he couldn't think of any refutation. Is it really ungrateful and watching Dong Zhuo be killed? Gao Shun asked himself that he could not do such a thing as revenge.

Ding Yuan sighed and said, "I knew that Fengxian had left, and there must be a reason. Since that's the case, what should Fengxian do to do?"

Lu Bu jumped off the Red Rabbit Horse, inserted Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand to the ground, clasped his fists to Ding Yuan and said, "When Lu Bu left, he left a letter to the governor. He met on the battlefield in the future, but he could let the governor go three times. This is the first time. Please ask the governor to leave quickly."
