More than ten miles outside Hulao Pass, the troops of twenty allied princes formed a circle here.

Yuan Shao and other princes gathered together, looking forward to it, as if they were waiting for something.

Beihai Prefect Kong Rong walked over with concern on his face.

"As far as I know, there should be 120,000 to 100,000 in these two imperial troops. Liu Taishou said that he attacked them with his own strength, but he only had 50,000 troops after all. Is this too risky? This is a national event, and we should help one or two."

"Yes, I have gathered 10,000 troops and are willing to help Liu Taishou with one arm."

Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian also stood with Kong Rong and suggested to Yuan Shao.

"this……"

Yuan Shao was originally very proud of Liu He's plan, but now when the two of them talked about it, he thought about it carefully and felt that the gap between the forces was too big. Moreover, the troops led by Lu Zhi and Zhu could naturally be called the elite of the court. Liu He's military strength was slightly weak, and even if he faced one of them, he might not have much chance of winning. What's more, he had to divide his troops to deal with both sides at the same time?

"Well... the two are reasonable, but Yuan is not considerate. Prefect Liu said he would go to rectify the gathering of soldiers. When he came later, the leader of the alliance explained to him to let the two cooperate with him to block the enemy. In addition, Yuan also sent 10,000 elite soldiers to go."

"The leader is wise!"

However, Cao Cao suddenly spoke: "The leader of the alliance, I don't think there is too much worry about this matter. Liu Taishou's temperament, from his own perspective, is definitely not an arrogant person. He can be prepared and investigate the situation of the two armies. Then he proposes to lead one army alone to intercept it. He must be sure. We will come to respond rashly, and perhaps he will make plans."

"Well, what Meng De said is also reasonable."

"No, the troops led by our princes, in terms of the number of people and elite forces, naturally belong to the 50,000 troops of the leader. But even so, how likely is the victory to use these 50,000 troops to divide the troops to block those two imperial armies?"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he thought for a while and replied, "It is impossible to defeat him. Even if he only blocks him for a while, his chances of winning are probably less than 40%. Well, General Ma Teng has to consider it right."

"Tsk, I think Liu He is just self-righteous. Since the alliance, this person has been very arrogant. You have seen his army's virtues. Hey, it's not much better than the Yellow Turban Army. It's just a group of beggars. He wants to die and teach him, so that he can't stay and eat for nothing."

Yuan Shu's sarcastic voice sounded again, causing everyone to frown.

Liu Bei looked at Yuan Shu, and still looked gentle as a good man, and said, "I think Liu Taishou is devoted to the country, and is definitely not the person he said to be the one whom General Highway said. Since the rebellion of Zhuo County, Youzhou, I have long heard that Liu Taishou is kind and righteous, protecting the country and safeguarding the people, and he is willing to take risks in person. It is better for the General Highway to not speculate so much about the loyal ministers of the country."

Yuan Shu looked at Liu Bei with dissatisfaction and sneered: "You are a mere county magistrate, how dare you speak on such occasions? You can't stop talking."

"You guy really deserves a beating, I, Old Zhang, must..."

"Yide must not be rude!"

Liu Bei pulled the angry Zhang Fei and quietly retreated aside. However, inexplicable light flashed in his seemingly calm eyes.

When Yuan Shu saw that he "retreats with difficulties", he became more and more proud.

"Hmph, look, it takes only 50,000 troops to gather together for half a day. It is said that Yanmen's military is strong. When I see you today, I really laughed out loud. I don't believe that he can have any other secret weapons?"

"Highway, it is not a gentleman to say this behind the scenes of the country's heroes, but it is better to be cautious in words."

Cao Cao criticized slightly with some seriousness.

Yuan Shu was about to argue with him, but he heard someone suddenly shouting.

"Look, Grandpa Liu is here!"

Everyone looked at it, but saw Liu He, Guan Yu and others riding horses.

"Leader Liu is ready and can send troops immediately. Please ask the leader to order."

Yuan Shao was about to give an order, but saw Yuan Shu stretched his neck and looked behind Liu He for a long time.

"Oh, why didn't Liu Taishou's army bring together to open your eyes?"

Liu He glanced at Yuan Shu and knew what he was thinking about.

"Haha, how can the army you trained with Liu's tricks be compared with you? You have seen it all these days, and there is nothing good to look at."

"This is wrong with Prefect Liu. This time, you use 50,000 troops to conquer more than 100,000 elite troops in the court. You still have such confidence that you must have something to rely on. Since we have formed an alliance, the prefect should not have reservations. Or take us to visit and teach the princes more to learn. Wouldn't you be more confident in dealing with Dong Zhuo in this way?"

Cao Cao persuaded, "Highway, you are a little bit hard for you."

Yuan Shu glared at him angrily: "What qualifications do you have to say to a certain family after you are a eunuch?"

"you……"

Cao Cao's face turned red with anger, and finally shook his hand and ignored it. However, just as he turned his head, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes.

Liu He looked at Yuan Shu and smiled and said, "General Yuan, you are not stingy. If you really see it, you may feel a little uncomfortable, so don't watch it."

Yuan Shu just thought he was a refusal, and now he became more determined.

"I don't have to worry about my feelings. What confidence do I have when I go to the battle this time? I, Yuan Shu, still have to see today."

After being provoked by him, many princes present also agreed. In the end, even Yuan Shao did not speak for Liu He anymore. I don’t know if he was curious or was shocked by the public opinion.

Liu He glanced at them and finally spread his hands.

"Since General Yuan and you are so enthusiastic, it's not easy for Liu to refute his face. So please give me some comments."

After saying that, Liu He turned his body and made a "please" gesture to Yuan Shao and everyone.

Yuan Shao bowed and said, "Since that's the case, I'll bother you."

Under the leadership of Liu He, a group of princes walked towards the place where the Anmin Army gathered.

Before we arrived at the place, everyone could only vaguely see a large area of ​​darkness in the distance ahead.

"So many people, there is no sound at all, no momentum."

Yuan Shu mocked him.

However, Cao Cao next to him kept frowning, especially after hearing Yuan Shu's words, a somewhat solemn expression appeared on his face.

Liu He nodded to Guan Yu beside him. Guan Yu realized it and ran over quickly.

Immediately afterwards, a central command flag suddenly danced.

Just when the many princes had not yet understood what was going on, a deafening scream echoed through the sky in an instant.

"The king's army will go on the battle, and we will not return until we break it!"

"The king's army will go on the battle, and we will not return until we break it!"

Just a few sounds shocked the princes.

“What’s the situation?”

Liu He said apologetically: "Sorry, this is just our army's oath to fight. Before we go to war, we must do this. Don't blame me."

Yuan Shu was about to say a few sarcastic words, but heard someone shouting in shock.

"Look, it's actually... it's... it's a heavy armored cavalry!"

Just these four words shocked everyone's eyes to one place in an instant.

I saw a row of cavalry in front of everyone's left, waiting for the battle.

This cavalry, with people and horses, was thick black armor. Everyone had a scimitar shining with cold light. Although no one spoke at this moment, and even no horse made any neighing, the princes felt that the coldness was so cold that they couldn't help but touch their necks.

The group stared at each other for a long time before then removing their gaze and looking at the other troops.

Only then did they realize that each of the army was strong, with a bright eye and well-equipped. Any of the teams that were pulled out was enough to make them envious.

"Good equipment, good sergeant. If I had such a force, what else would I fear in the world?"

"Such a strong army is worthy of being made up of borders, which is truly respectable and terrifying."

"Liu He is clearly stronger than Yuan Shao, but he can be so kind and low-key. It seems that he will have to get closer to him if he has the chance in the future."

The hearts of many princes almost at the same time, which almost completely changed their view of Liu He and instantly raised their attention to him to a very high position.

"Yuan Shu, is this what you are talking about the beggar army? If this is a beggar, then what is the army we are waiting for?"

When Yuan Shu heard this, his face was so ashamed that he felt hot.

"This... Liu He has ulterior motives and deliberately conceals military strength, and clearly intends to make mistakes."

"Hey? Yuan Shu, do you have to speak with conscience? When Liu Taishou came to join the alliance, you made things difficult for him and looked down on him. He just didn't want to fight with you, so he didn't say it clearly."

Ma Teng has long been disgusted with Yuan Shu, so he naturally has to stand up and refute it now.

How could Yuan Shu give up and continue to argue: "Hmph, he has such a strong army. If he had moved out earlier, Hulao Pass would have been conquered. Why wait until today?"

After he asked this, many princes, including Yuan Shao, also became confused.

"Premier Liu, don't know..."

Yuan Shao looked at Liu He with questions, but he didn't expect that before Liu He answered, Cao Cao took the lead.

"Hey, the highway is a big mistake. Although this army is powerful, it does not have any siege equipment. If you fight in the decisive battle in the wild, you will be invincible. However, you will have the will to attack the pass cities but not enough. Today, Liu Taishou took the initiative to volunteer to fight to the small number of enemies and give us the opportunity to win the victory of our allies. It is really respectable and admirable."

"You... Cao Aman, you are against me again!"

"Okay, don't you feel embarrassed enough?"

Yuan Shao cursed at Yuan Shu with a tense face. Yuan Shu glanced at him hatefully, and rode his horse away quickly.

The princes looked at Liu He and his army, gasped in their hearts, but then felt a little relieved.

"Fortunately, Liu He is now going to fight for the two armies. In this way, no matter how elite your 50,000 troops are, most of them will be lost. Otherwise, if you have such a powerful army, we will be unable to sleep or eat."

At this moment, most princes, especially Yuan Shao, were looking forward to Liu He going to the battlefield immediately.

"You absolutely never imagined that your gloating thoughts are just part of my huge plan. Today, I have truly realized the advantages of a time traveler. Many princes, including Dong Zhuo, were played with by me to see how you escape..."
