In a forest twenty miles southeast of Hulaoguan, teams of soldiers sat under the trees in a very orderly resting. Among these soldiers, they could occasionally see flags such as "Cao" and "Xiahou" fluttering in the wind. It was Cao Cao's 40,000 troops coming from Yanzhou.

"Lord, the whole army is on duty to rest, and the soldiers are already preparing to bury the pot and make rice."

A general walked up to Cao Cao and reported to him with his fists.

"Well. In Luoyang, what information has been found?" Cao Cao asked.

According to his plan, Luoyang should have been captured by Yuan Shu's troops now, and Liu He's forces were all withdrawn, including Hulao Pass, all fell under the control of Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling and others.

Sure enough, a general said: "Go back to the lord, the news I just found was that three days ago, Luoyang City had indeed fought all night. Someone saw Gao Shun's troops, carrying a large number of officials and people, and leaving Mengjin Port. Now Hulao is closed, the "Thunder" flag has been replaced."

"Meng De's plan really worked. Haha, the Liu He army is said to be invincible and has never been defeated. Now it is not lost to my Yanzhou? I think that Liu He is just a reckless man. After all, we still have to wait to turn the tide."

Xiahou Dun was full of energy, as if he could no longer help but go to fight quickly.

"Yuan Shu is afraid that he is still dreaming of commanding the world at this time? I don't know that he can't stay in Luoyang for a few days, so I wonder what he will feel at that time?"

"That's more, it must be a bitter face."

Inside the camp, the generals were all dancing.

Cao Cao also couldn't suppress his heart that was so excited that he seemed to jump out of his mind at any time.

"Wenhe, the overall situation is about to be settled now, what do you think?"

Jia Xu stood up, but his face was very calm, and he could not tell whether it was joy or sorrow: "The big thing is about to be accomplished, and it is all caused by the lord's wiseness."

Cao Cao smiled at this answer.

"According to my previous agreement with Yuan Shu, during the war, I sent troops to help secretly. After the war, I personally led a large army to stabilize the situation in Luoyang and guard all places. The troops attacking Yuzhou had just set out yesterday, and it would be three days before they could reach Yuzhou. I ordered them to stop all the way. Yuan Shu was not prepared for me and must have no idea. Now, I should write a letter to Yuan Shu, and then lead the army to Hulao Pass and wait to enter the pass."

Many generals were extremely happy.

"When we enter Luoyang, we will suddenly attack, and we will be able to easily seize Luoyang and kill Yuan Shu like this. At that time, lord, you are a famous minister of the revival of the Han Dynasty, and your subordinates will also benefit from it and be famous in history."

Such great achievements are in front of you, and everyone is extremely impressed.

"Tell the soldiers that after half an hour, they will set off for Hulao Pass. They may not be able to reward the three armies in Luoyang City tomorrow."

"The system prompts that Jia Xu completed a 'poison plan' strategy, and all four-dimensional attributes are permanently reduced by 1 point. The current attributes are changed to: Commander 49, Force 45, Intelligence 97, and Political 70."

Liu He, who was holding his daughter Liu Qian, was teasing his son, and received this prompt in his mind.

"Oh? Cao Cao finally arrived? You have plotted against me so much. Now it's time to taste the gift I left for you. If you like Luoyang so much, I will leave it for you and grab it slowly. If you want to play with the snipe and clam fighting, the fisherman will benefit? Humph, it's a pity, I am the fisherman now."

Thinking of this, Liu He smiled and continued to play with his daughter.

Luoyang City, in the imperial palace. This morning, Yuan Shu had just arrived in Luoyang. At this time, he had learned about Cao Cao's all "conspiracy". He sat directly on the dragon throne of the palace without any hesitation, with his face as deep as water.

"Cao Ah is too lying to deceive me. I will not give up if I don't take this revenge!"

A civil servant came out and said, "Lord, don't be angry. Now our army gets what we want and seizes Luoyang, Hangu and Hulao two major passes. It is a great blessing."

"Nonsense!" Yuan Shu looked at the man angrily.

"Liu and Cao, two thieves, left me an empty city. Nine out of ten houses in the city were empty, and there were no officials in the court. Even the emperor and the imperial seal were taken away by him. What use should I want for such a city? Without the emperor, I had previously announced the world and scolded Liu He for all kinds of crimes. Wouldn't it be all about playing the piano against a cow? Now he can say that I, Yuan, raised an army to rebel and attacked the capital. For this result, I actually spent tens of thousands of lives in vain, which was extremely hateful!"

Yuan Shu became more angry the more he thought about it.

At this time, a soldier outside the palace hurried into the hall.

"Report to the lord, Cao Cao sent someone to send a letter, saying that his army was on standby outside Hulao Pass, and asked the lord to order people to open Hulao Pass."

When Yuan Shu heard this, he was furious.

"What? This eunuch dares to come afterwards. Can I be a fool?"

He pointed at Ji Ling: "Ji Ling, quickly order the troops and horses, and don't cut off Cao Aman's head, don't come to see me."

"The last general will receive the order!"

Ji Ling was about to retreat, but was stopped by a civil servant.

"My lord, please be proud. My subordinates think that this is a good opportunity for God to avenge your previous shame."

Yuan Shu was stunned: "Hmm? How can I explain this?"

The civil minister said, "According to General Ji's words, he robbed Liu He and sent a secret letter to Cao Cao that day and night, he could only find out that the two of them had already colluded secretly. Cao Hong and Le Jin, who knew about this, were forced into the vast mountains by General Ji Ling, and they could not escape in three or five days."

Yuan Shu nodded slightly: "Sir, do you want to say that I already know about this secret connection, but they don't know?"

"Yes, that's true. Otherwise, how could Cao Cao come to Luoyang again according to the previous agreement with his lord? Wouldn't this fall into a trap? Therefore, the lord pretended to agree and ordered him to come to Luoyang City, but he could be guarded against the attack of Guan Yu in Shangdang County, and only allowed him to bring half of his troops, and the rest of his troops were stationed outside Hulao Pass. Later, he ordered the two generals Han Xian and Zhang Xun to lead 6,000 troops to ambush in the woods outside the city. When Cao Cao's troops arrived, he launched an ambush. General Ji Ling led his army to attack. Even if his ribs had wings, he would not escape from heaven."

"Okay, this plan will definitely avenge me this bloody revenge!" Yuan Shu praised him with pleasure.

"Ji Ling, Han Xian, Zhang Xun, and you will go and prepare immediately. When I prepare a letter, I will earn Cao Aman from here. Hum, kill this agent first, and then go north to attack Liu He. Sooner or later, I will be my Yuan Shu in the world!"

Cao Cao personally led the 40,000 army and had already marched outside Hulao Pass. He had been waiting here respectfully for Yuan Shu's orders, looking very obedient.

After waiting for a long time, no movement was seen. Everyone couldn't help but feel a little upset. Several generals had some complaints in their mouths, but Cao Cao scolded them sternly.

At this time, Cheng Yu suddenly shouted: "Look, lord, the city gate is open."

Cao Cao was excited and looked at it with the flow. Sure enough, he saw the door of Hulao Pass slowly open, and several people rode their horses and quickly ran towards him.

As these people got closer and closer, Cao Cao's heart seemed to be lifting up from his chest, and finally it seemed that he might jump out of his throat at any time.

"Luoyang... the world... is close to you, right in front of you..."
