Zhang Fei, who was being escorted by several Han soldiers and was about to take him away, suddenly heard a sharp arrow breaking through the air, and a soldier beside him fell to the ground and died.

"Haha, Ziyi is good at archery skills." Zhang Fei knew that it was Taishici's work without looking back.

"Swish..."

As soon as he finished speaking, two more arrows flew over, and two Han soldiers fell to the ground.

Zhang Fei kicked the only soldier who was escorting him away, then pulled out a few inches of the sword on the waist of a fallen soldier, carried his body on his back, and slashed the rope that tied his hands on the blade.

"Ha, I, Lao Zhang, are back."

Zhang Fei was so excited that he ran forward quickly, knocked several Han soldiers to the ground with bare hands, and took back his Snake Spear from them.

Liu Bei, Jiang Huan, Taishi Ci, and Chen Dao all ran towards Zhang Fei.

"Three brother, get on the horse quickly and fight together."

Liu Bei's call was the best way to motivate morale for Zhang Fei.

"System prompt: Liu Bei, Jiang Huan, Zhang Fei fight side by side, triggering the temporary stunt 'Jinlan'..."

"System prompt: Liu Bei activates the special stunt - Brother Yi: Become a brother with someone who is like alike, and be the elder brother himself. When he fights side by side with Brother Yi, his entire attributes will be increased by 2 points and his martial arts will be increased by 2 points. If Brother Yi is harmed by someone, every time he dies, his intelligence will be reduced by 10 points permanently."

"Affected by the special stunts, Liu Bei's comprehensive force..."

A general under Zhang Yong's command came to see Zhang Fei breaking free from his shackles and immediately tried to put him on the spot to rectify the Dharma.

Zhang Fei was defeated in public just now, and he was defeated in less than five rounds. Such a great humiliation made him feel angry and had nowhere to vent. He was naturally very happy to see the enemy general coming to his door.

"Ha, it's a good place, eat my spear."

After a bloody light, the will be raised high by Zhang Fei and thrown away from afar.

"System prompt: Zhang Fei triggered the special stunt 'killing god'..."

"System prompt: Taishici triggers the special stunt 'shot'..."

"System prompt: Jiang Huan triggers the special stunt 'calm'..."

Both sides had 150,000 troops, and at this moment, a total of 300,000 troops broke out in the wilderness that was only more than ten miles away from the rolling Yellow River.

"Haha, God-given opportunity, God-given opportunity, Meng De, let's send troops quickly and conquer Hulao Pass, today."

Xiahou Dun was extremely ecstatic, and the other generals were all very excited.

Cao Cao seemed to be deliberately suppressing his joy, but he could still see his eagerness from the corner of his eyebrows.

His eyes glanced at all the civil officials and military officials present, and said, "Liu He suddenly sent troops to attack Zhang Fei's camp. He personally took action to capture Liu Bei's third brother. When he was about to capture his camp, Liu Bei and Jiang Huan arrived. When the plan of the Emperor Luoyang was lost. Now they were in a stalemate, they thought it was appropriate to send troops at this moment?"

Although this was asked to everyone, you could tell from Cao Cao's eyes that it clearly had nothing to do with those generals, so Xiahou Dun and others were consciously not responding.

Cheng Yu was the first to stand up: "Liu He planned nothing more than defeating the three coalition forces including us one by one. Seeing that our army had no movement for a few days and was unbearable, he took the initiative to attack. It would be easy to cut off Liu Bei's Qingxu's troops first and then turn back to deal with our army. From this, it can be inferred that Sun Jian would definitely have made some achievements at Hangu Pass, otherwise Liu He would not be so anxious."

Cao Cao nodded slightly and expressed his deep agreement with this, but a haze spread between his eyebrows.

"Well, what Zhongde said was exactly what someone thought. But Liu He has always been tricky. I was worried that he would have some tricks in Hulao Guanzhong. After all, our army suffered a defeat last time and was greatly damaged. If there was another big defeat, he would have to retreat to Yuzhou. No, maybe even Yuzhou could not be defended."

The big defeat caused by the last time after being trapped, not only caused a significant loss to the Cao army, but also had a great impact on the morale of the army, including Cao Cao himself.

Guo Jia said: "My lord must not be discouraged. Liu He occupied the six states in the world and his strength was nothing inferior to our three-way coalition forces. The temporary defeat of our army is not enough to judge heroes."

Guo Jia spoke, his voice was weaker than Cheng Yu and others, but it was just such a voice. Such a tone could always cheer up Cao Cao and feel great at the critical moment.

"Okay, that's right. What's the point of victory or defeat? I've decided to send troops to Huzhu to decide the outcome."

Cao Cao's final decision made Xiahou Dun and others very happy.

Cao Cao continued, "Sir, let me tell you, how to send troops is the most appropriate one?"

"My subordinates think that they should learn from the lessons of the last defeat. Since they are determined to capture Hulao Pass, they should be dispatched and no longer have to stay in the base camp. Only in this way can the soldiers abandon all their thoughts of retreating and move forward bravely."

Xi Zhicai's words attracted many generals to agree.

Jia Xu moved his lips, as if he wanted to speak but stopped. After a moment, he stood up. When he came out, Cao Cao's eyes instantly focused on him, and there was a look of expectation in his eyes.

Jia Xu stood up and said, "My subordinates thought that with the wisdom of Liu He, Cui Jun, Xun You and others, a 150,000 army would definitely be prepared to fight Liu Bei with the enemy, and would never expose the city gate in vain."

Xiahou Yuan said: "This is natural. According to the Ma Lai newspaper, Liu He ordered Gao Shun and Cheng Liang to stay in the pass, and to make plans for everything. It will not be easy for our army to conquer this pass."

Jia Xu shook his head, "I'm afraid it's more than that."

Cao Cao suddenly showed curiosity: "How can I explain this?"

"Since ancient times, rebellious people have been more hated than their old enemies. This is common sense. Therefore, it is reasonable for Liu He to destroy Liu Bei first and then attack our army."

His words made everyone more puzzled.

"Since that's the case, why did you say this just now?"

Jia Xu said slowly: "It is precisely because of this that others will not be suspicious. He believes that he is determined to fight with Liu Bei. Only when the surprise attack fails, he will fall into a stalemate and give our army an opportunity to take advantage of it. If our army really believes in this matter and attacks Hulao Pass with all its might, his subordinates believe that among Liu He's 150,000 troops, there will be an army that will turn around and kill us, causing our army to be attacked from both sides."

When Cao Cao heard this, his face changed: "If this is true, we will become prisoners below the level and have no way to live."

"Lord, Mingjian." Jia Xu continued: "Liu He brought Guan Yu, Zhang Yong, Zhu Ye, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, and many other generals in this battle. Among them, there was a soldier and horse. He had always acted quickly and was elusive. He could be called free and easy on the battlefield."

Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "Zhao Yun's flying feather cavalry!"

"That's right." Jia Xu's tone was very firm: "Zhao Yun commanded 20,000 flying feather cavalry. Whether it was the horses or the cavalry of the soldiers, they were far superior to our army and the Qingxu army. Even if he was in a bloody battle at this moment, as long as Liu He gave the order, the 20,000 cavalry could be freed from the battle situation and turned toward our army."

"No, I suddenly lost these 20,000 troops. Isn't Liu He's strength weaker than Liu Bei? Then..."

Halfway through Cao Ren's words, he realized something was wrong.

"Ah, yes, Liu He's elite troops are good at fighting and are better than our army. Compared with Qingxu's soldiers, they are more than better than Qingxu's soldiers. Even without Zhao Yun's 20,000 flying feather cavalry, 130,000 and 150,000 will have at least 80% chance of winning."

In Cao Cao's eyes, the evil light was revealed.

"What a Liu He. This is a combination of virtual and real. The 150,000 troops are real. Zhao Yun's Feiyu Cavalry is also real. If our army does not move, he will annihilate Liu Bei in one fell swoop. If our army moves, it will follow the trend and change its target. It will destroy us first, and then deal with Qing Xu's army. No matter what, he is sure to win. It is really a wonderful plan."

At this moment, a scout ran in and attracted everyone's attention.

"Reporting to the lord, Sun Jian led his army to attack Hangu Pass, and under Zhuge Liang's plan to lure the enemy, he was burned to death in Qinglang Valley by fire."

"What? Sun Jian is dead?" Everyone was shocked.

Cao Cao's expression remained unchanged: "Since Sun Jian died, I wonder what happened to Sun Ce?"

"When returning to the lord, Sun Ce, at Zhou Yu's suggestion, predicted that Wu Qinyu Zhuge Liang would inevitably transfer Hangu Pass to Hulao Pass after killing Sun Jian, so he turned around and captured Hangu Pass two days ago in the evening."

"Okay!" Cao Cao looked "unexpected".

"He has occupied Hangu Pass now. If he rested here and watched us fight, he would have taken advantage of the fisherman. However, Sun Ce's son is manic and violent. I don't think he will be here for a long time. Now he is on the way to attack Luoyang City."

All the generals were also happy: "It's great. With Sun Ce as a pawn, we will win this battle."

Cao Cao sneered: "It's not stopping yet. Liu He was afraid that he would never have imagined that Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were killed and defeated by him, were defeated, hehe, they didn't escape too far."

After saying that, he slowly stood up and glanced at everyone. When Jia Xu saw that his eyes were firm, he knew that his lord had already made plans, so he bowed and retreated.

Cao Cao drew out the Sword of the Heaven: "Transfer our military order..."

The generals responded in unison: "The last general will obey the order!"

"Cao Ren leads 15,000 rattan soldiers and guards Yu Dajun's right wing. If Zhao Yun comes to kill him, he will immediately come forward to block it."

"Xiahou Yuan commanded eight thousand archers and cavalry, and then responded. After the rattan soldiers leaked the first wave of enemy attacks, he immediately fired thousands of arrows at once. Then you and the two of you attacked together. Even if you cannot annihilate Zhao Yun, you must trap him."

"The last general will receive the order!"

"The rest of the soldiers, follow me to attack and kill with all my strength, and I will definitely take down Hulao Pass!"

To the east of Hangu Pass, on a wide road leading to Luoyang, Sun Ce is inspecting his army.

Sun Jian was burned to pieces by a fire, so there was no such thing as being buried in peace. Sun Ce had already informed the entire army to take down Luoyang and avenge the old lord, and then built a tomb for Sun Jian outside Luoyang City to commemorate his heroic spirit.

After a few simple words, the morale of the Jiangdong Army, who had just died in battle, regained its morale, and they shouted at the top of their voices, "Avenge the Lord's Communiqué."

Zhou Yu was anxious and hurried over: "Bo Fu...Bo Fu is slow..."

Sun Ce looked at him impatiently: "Gongjin wants to stop me?"

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Bo Fu, it is definitely not an excellent opportunity for our army to send troops. The imperial army confronted the Cao and Liu families outside Hulao Pass. In the past few days, both sides have stopped their troops and rested. It is the time to accumulate combat power. Our army is rashly attacking Luoyang at this moment. It is inevitable that the strength of the imperial court will turn the spearhead and fight with us. Wouldn't it be that Cao and Liu take advantage?"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have become Jinlan, and are brothers and sisters. They have been in a deep friendship for many years, but now, Sun Ce treats each other coldly.

"Hmph, the revenge of killing my father is irreconcilable, how can I use it as a resource for planning? With the overlord gun in my hand, even if Liu He personally arrived, I could capture him alive. What's the fear?"

"But, Bo Fu..."

"Okay." Sun Ce interrupted him directly: "If Gongjin is afraid, I will have ten thousand soldiers and horses with you, and you and Zijing will stay at Hangu Pass."

Zhou Yu's face changed, and Lu Su came forward and wanted to say a few words for him, but Zhou Yu waved his hand to stop him.

"Oh, Bo Fu, you and I have known each other for more than ten years. How could you not know my nature? Why do you say such words to arouse me? Well, I will feel at ease when I let you attack Luoyang alone, so I can go there."

Upon hearing this, Sun Ce immediately laughed out loud: "Hahaha... OK, I am worthy of being my Sun Ce's good brother. You and I work together to defeat the world."

Then, he shouted: "The whole army is heading!"

At the same time, the land of Sichuan and Shu thousands of miles away, the towering cliffs on both sides were like two sharp swords, penetrated into the sky, and it was Jianmen Pass, known as the most dangerous pass in Shu.

At this time, outside Jianmen Pass, Zhang Ren led the army and was advancing at full speed. By looking at the speed of these soldiers, you can tell that these people are all experts in walking on mountain roads.

The rear army of this army had all left Jianmen Pass for several miles, and the front army was even more on this narrow mountain road. I don’t know how far it had moved forward, but even the 100,000 troops did not cause any turmoil in this canyon, and even the traces of a bird were difficult to see.
