In the Kwantung Army commander camp, the princes looked depressed and walked back from outside.

"Hey, this Dong thief can hold it back and never sends military generals out of the city to challenge. He has been hiding in the pass for four days, no matter how we shouted and scolded, we would not come out. How could he fight?"

Gongsun Zan slapped the blood-stained sword on the table.

Yuan Shu glanced at the princes and said coldly: "One of them bragged themselves before, sometimes saying that I affected the morale of the army, sometimes saying that I delayed the food and grass, and now that I have done nothing, you can't conquer it."

"Okay, you can say less."

Yuan Shao yelled at him impatiently, then turned his head to look at Cao Cao.

"Meng De, what do you think you should do for the sake of this?"

However, Cao Cao did not listen to him, but kept staring at Liu He, which was terrifying.

Seeing that he didn't reply, Yuan Shao shouted again.

"Hmm? I called me first?"

Yuan Shao said angrily: "I'll ask you how our army should be deployed now? You can't just keep attacking like this."

When Cao Cao heard this, he looked at Liu He and suddenly smiled inexplicably.

"The prefect Liu is both wise and brave. In just three years, the Xianbei disaster that has caused disasters to the northern border for nearly a hundred years will be almost completely eliminated. At this moment, there must be a clever plan. Cao is about to listen to his opinions."

Liu He raised his eyebrows and said to himself: "Cao Cao has been exploring my reality and reality intentionally or unintentionally these days. It seems that he is eyeing me. I have been dormant and silent all these days. If I don't show anything, I'm afraid it will be unreasonable. Well, my fifth brother is doing well and it's time to implement the next plan. Then I will go with the flow."

He clasped his fists and smiled at everyone.

"He thought that the most urgent task is not how to attack, but how to defend?"

Everyone was stunned and then burst into laughter.

"Haha, defense? This is ridiculous. Could it be that Dong Thief dared to go out of seclusion and fight with us? If so, we will fulfill our wishes. We can gather a large army and eliminate them in one fell swoop. How can we defend?"

"Prince Zhang Yang is right. I thought that Prefect Liu must have high opinions, but I didn't want to do so."

Even Yuan Shao looked disappointed.

However, there were two of them among the crowd, looking at Liu He with great interest, and naturally they were Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

Cao Cao said, "Don't worry, everyone, after listening to the words of Liu Taishou, Cao looked at what he said, which was definitely not a false statement."

He bowed respectfully to Liu He and asked him to continue talking.

"Since Meng De invited me, Na He would like to talk a few more words. His troops were far less powerful than those of you. He has not charged forward to attack the city these days, but he is not idle, but has gone to do another thing again."

Cao Cao hurriedly asked: "Oh? What's the matter?"

Liu He did not answer directly, but asked him back: "Don't you know if Cao Gong sent someone to contact Lu Zhi and the two veteran generals Zhu?"

Cao Cao was stunned and replied, "That's natural. The two old generals held heavy troops in the court and were always loyal to the Han Dynasty. Before the rebellion, I and Benchu ​​made an appointment to instigate the two-way alliance. With more than 100,000 elite officials of the court joining, the chances of defeating Dong Zhuo are naturally higher. Moreover, they are in high positions and highly respected, especially Lu Gong, who is very famous in the Confucian scholarship, which is also very beneficial to calling people all over the world to fight against the thieves together."

Liu He smiled and said, "What's the result?"

Cao Cao was embarrassed when asked: "For some reason, the army led by the two old generals suddenly disappeared overnight. We sent several teams of messengers to search for it, but we never found any traces, so naturally we did not contact them."

As he said this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Can't it be...Prince Liu can visit where they are?"

These words attracted the princes to look at Liu He.

Liu He nodded: "Yes, these days, Liu has investigated from multiple sources and finally found the whereabouts of the 130,000 troops in total. The place where they are stationed is not far from us."

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is great. I wonder where the old general is? Shaodang went to see him in person."

However, Cao Cao heard the key in Liu He's words.

"What Liu Taishou said to step up the defense, what does it have to do with these two veteran generals?"

"It is naturally related, because the one who may come to attack our army in the future is not the defenders in Hulao Pass, but these two large armies."

Liu He's words caused a thousand waves.

"How is it possible? The two veteran generals have always been loyal to the country. How could they do such a thing that aids the evildoer?"

"Prince Liu, don't be exaggerated and fool the mystery."

Liu Bei, who was almost speechless, suddenly said: "Is it true that Liu Taishou's intention... the commander of these two armies has changed hands?"

Liu He looked at him, then nodded solemnly.

"Mr. Liu guessed well, that's exactly what it is."

Everyone was extremely surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed reasonable.

Cao Cao suddenly slapped his thigh and said in secret: "What we should have thought of long ago that Dong's thief will issue a forgery to go to the army and seize the military power of the two old generals. No wonder Dong's thief is so fearless these days. He must have arranged these two large armies to attack us from both sides of the north and south. When our army was in a hurry to deal with it, more than 100,000 troops in Hulao Pass and even Luoyang City suddenly came out, and our army would definitely be defeated!"

After he said this, even Liu He immediately looked at him with admiration.

"This Cao Cao is indeed amazing. With just a few words from me, I almost guessed Dong Zhuo's previous and subsequent plans so accurately."

Yuan Shao also suddenly shouted: "No wonder, not long ago, I found Niu Fu, the two generals under Dong Zhuo's tent, and Li Meng, who had not appeared in the army for a long time. Both of them were Dong Zhe's confidant generals, and Niu Fu was his son-in-law and disappeared inexplicably. He must have been sent to take over the military power of the two veteran generals."

After hearing the analysis of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, all the princes were shocked.

"Oh, if this is the case, our army will be in danger."

"We have to find a way to deal with it."

"What else can I do? In my opinion, it is better to retreat for the time being and let me discuss it later."

Just like this, some princes in the Allied forces were scared and retreated.

"Everything is quiet!" Yuan Shao stopped everyone's chaos, and then looked at Liu He.

"Since the prefect Liu found out where they were stationed, I don't know where they are?"

Liu He stretched out two fingers: "After the army of Duke Lu was taken over by the Dong thief, he camped in a river valley northwest of Yingchuan. The army of Duke Zhu was hidden north of this place, on the other side of the Yellow River, that is, in a dense forest in the west of Hanoi County. It is about a hundred miles away from this place after crossing the river."

Yuan Shao couldn't help but change his face: "What? It's only a day or two to send troops to these two places. If you come to attack, you're really unpredictable."

He gritted his teeth and showed a firm look on his face.

"For the sake of the present, we must first take action and send troops to attack them in two places."

"Yes, what the leader said is exactly what he meant."

Liu He said: "The best strategy is to attack instead of defense. As long as we eliminate or at least delay these two armies, our army can attack Hulao Pass with all our strength. However... He has a better way."

Yuan Shao was happy and asked, "Oh? Liu Taishou is very smart and smart, I wonder what kind of trick is it?"

Liu He stretched out four fingers: "Let the snake out of the hole. Isn't it even better to take this opportunity to lead Dong Zhe to Hulao Pass personally?"

Then, he looked at the princes and signaled everyone to come over.

The princes immediately formed a group of people, and Liu He whispered a plan in everyone's ears.

"Okay! Just do it! The Hulao Pass will be the first to conquer the Hulao Pass in the future."

Yuan Shao immediately issued a military order.
