"Report..."

Cao's army scouts, rushed over.

"Report to the lord, forty miles ahead is Hulao Pass."

Cao Cao put his hand on his forehead and looked into the distance: "How is the enemy's garrison?"

"Return to the lord, there were flags and flags waving, and the troops were very heavy. The city gate was covered with powerful crossbows, and the city wall was obviously raised by at least one meter. In addition, there were ten towering arrow towers on both sides of the pass, arranged in the shape of the 'eight'. There were four crossbowmen on each arrow tower."

Cheng Yu's face was solemn: "It seems that Liu He was indeed prepared. Now it can be concluded that he deliberately retreated the troops in Yuzhou because he wanted to gather the troops from three parties, including us, at Hulao Pass, and annihilate them in one fell swoop, so as to achieve a one-time and for all."

"It's not just that." Xi Zhong said: "Now the envoys of the Western Regions are still in Luoyang. Liu He's move has always been in demonstration to other countries."

"I'm afraid that the ambition of this Luoyang emperor is no longer limited to the Thirteen States of the Han Dynasty." Guo Jia's words caused Cao Cao to nod frequently.

"What I said is not bad. According to the return of the horse exploration, the Xianbei Shanyu Budugen, after cutting off Kebineng, unified the Xianbei tribes. Liu Heming rewarded him with a great reward, granting the surname Liu and a marquis, and was at his fingertips, but in fact he and the leaders and generals of the Xianbei tribe used their mansions as prisons and their brocade clothes as chains, trapped them in Luoyang City, and retreated tens of thousands of cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry Xianbei into the two states of You."

"After the Goguryeo king was executed in Youbeiping County, Ma Chao had led 30,000 cavalry to Liaodong, Xuantu, and advanced to the Goguryeo border. Tian Yu and Tian Chou each led 40,000 infantry to sweep away the remnants of Kebien's command and the Wuhuan tribe. With such a strong army, within two or three years, I am afraid that Liu He would imitate Yunhai County and set up a few new counties in the northeast of Youzhou."

Cao Cao's face became a little entangled. He was naturally happy about the Han Dynasty's victory over the four barrages. Even if he and Wuhuan were not long ago? Ke Bi Neng had Goguryeo or an ally? But that was just a mutual use. From the bottom of his heart, Cao Cao did not take them seriously. Even if he could achieve great things, he would have to deal with them sooner or later.

But now that Liu He has achieved this great cause, will his power become stronger and stronger? Cao Cao's fear is inevitably even more serious.

"Then Liu He has a million soldiers? There are many good generals? He deliberately led us outside the Hulao Pass? He must be fully prepared? Whether he can win this time will be difficult to tell if..."

When everyone heard what he said, they clearly meant to retreat, and their faces changed.

"Meng De, to this point, you have to go in and if you don't go in, you have to go in and you have to go in. You can't hesitate. If the morale of the army is damaged, we will be done."

Xiahou Dun directly forced Cao Cao back on the second half of the sentence that he didn't say.

"General Yuan Rang said it very reasonably. At this extraordinary moment, no matter how many doubts the lord has, he should move forward and not hesitate at all, otherwise our army will be defeated."

Cheng Yu's powerful words made Cao Cao a little excited.

"Well, you guys are right, it's because Cao was over-thinking."

He then looked at Jia Xu: "Wenhe thought, what should our army do now?"

Jia Xu's eyes turned and said, "Now the three armies are advancing in unison. After the troops and horses of Yuzhou are retreating to Luoyang, Luoyang and Hulao Pass have a total of less than 500,000 troops, which is similar to our coalition forces. The enemy's equipment is excellent, even more so our army, and the natural dangers of Hulao Pass. If you want to attack for a strong force, you will never have a chance of winning. The subordinates are sure that Liu He must be sure of this section, and only then dare to take this dangerous move, trying to decide the world in one battle."

"Well..." Cao Cao nodded: "Wenhe has any good solutions to solve it?"

Jia Xu pondered for a moment: "Liu He issued an order on his mother's birthday to order envoys from all countries in the Western Regions to stay in the city for one month. His purpose is nothing more than to defeat our coalition forces within one month and shock foreign countries. Now more than half a month has passed, and there is not much time left. The enemy is looking forward to Hulao Pass and wants to use this battle to make contributions and be granted a title to the marquis. Our army is now heading to attack, and it is at the time when the enemy's morale is at its peak. Not only can it be conquered, but it may be harmed."

Cao Cao repeatedly praised: "It's not bad, that's exactly what it means."

Jia Xu continued: "So, our army might as well do the opposite and set up camp here. Whether it is Liu He or the enemy soldiers, they are eager to achieve success. Seeing that our army has not attacked the city for many days, they will definitely come out of the pass to rob the camp. At that time, it will be a good opportunity for our army to win."

"Wenhe's words are exactly what I want." Cao Cao was overjoyed.

"If you send an order, the entire army will stop advancing, log on the spot, find water sources, and prepare to camp. In addition, quickly inform the Liu and Sun in the rear of the country to prevent them from moving alone and being ambushed by Liu He."

"Here."

The scout was about to leave, but Cao Cao suddenly called him again: "Wait, tell the two generals that tonight, a banquet will be placed in Cao's tent, and you will be welcomed by the two."

In the palace, Liu He looked at the report he had just delivered with great interest.

"It's interesting, really interesting. Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Jian came to Hulao Pass but did not come to attack the city. Instead, he drank and sang day and night, which was very interesting."

Xun You said: "This is just a plan for Cao to lure the enemy. He knew that His Majesty wanted to defeat them in front of many envoys of the country. It was only ten days before the delegation left Beijing. Therefore, he wanted to force our army to give up the dangerous barrier and take the initiative to fight, so that he had a chance to win."

Xun Yu also echoed: "Our army retreated from Yuzhou, although we wanted to lead all the rebels here, it also boosted the morale of the enemy and was full of satisfaction. Only when our army defended Hulao Pass and made it difficult for the enemy to conquer, our morale would be lost. At that time, we can only win in one battle if we go out to the pass and kill the enemy."

"Hmph, the words of the two military advisors are to increase the ambition of others and destroy their own prestige."

Guan Yu snorted lightly, then stood up, clasped his fists at Liu He and asked for his orders.

"Brother, I regard the rebels as grass. I have been guarding Xiliang for a long time, but I am afraid that the heroes of the Central Plains will no longer know the power of the purple gold dragon cavalry. I am willing to leave the pass to fight tomorrow, and I will sweep the rebellion into nothing and help my elder brother unify the world."

When Zhao Yun saw it, he couldn't sit still: "Chang Yun, your purple gold dragon cavalry is a country's important weapon. I'll send you this battle. It's really useless. Your Majesty, let the last general's Feiyu cavalry first to rush to test the enemy's virtuality."

"Hi, hey, don't fight. The rebels have 500,000 or 600,000 troops. If they want to test the truth, they must have a cavalry that goes like the wind and as fast as lightning, so that they can ensure safety and safety. Speaking of this, who dares to compete with the Thunder God Cavalry?"

Zhu Ye also started yelling.

As soon as these three men fought, all the generals immediately came out to grab the position of vanguard general.

Liu He looked happy: "Hahaha... OK, look, the morale of the rebels is as strong as the rainbow, and the morale of our soldiers is definitely not inferior."

He also stood up immediately: "Second brother, your army is still in Xiliang. I have other uses of the 10,000 purple gold dragon cavalry I brought back this time. I have many opportunities to make achievements and have many opportunities. Please wait patiently for a few days first."

Although Guan Yu was a little unwilling to do so, Liu He didn't dare to refuse to follow him, so he clasped his fists and retreated.

Liu He looked at the generals, stretched his neck one by one, and looked at himself with anticipation.

"I have decided, and tomorrow I will..."

When all the generals heard this, their eyes shone brightly, hoping that Liu He would recite his name.
