Several people who walked out of Hulao Pass came to the army.

"Where is General Cao Mengde?"

Cao Cao quickly stepped forward: "Cao is here."

When the man saw Cao Cao, his face immediately filled with smiles: "General Cao really keeps his promise. My lord ordered a villain to come and bring the general into the city."

"I am grateful for my help, so I sent an order to lead the way, so I sent a command to follow the army to visit General Yuan."

Cao Cao turned his head and prepared to ask Xiahou Dun to rectify the army. He set out, but the envoy interrupted him.

"General Cao is slow. The lord has an order. Shangdang Guan Yu and others stationed tens of thousands of troops, and their spirits are in full swing. Our army has been fighting for many days. The army is exhausted. If they come to attack, it will be difficult to prevent it. Therefore, I want to ask the general to leave half of his troops and station them outside Hulao Pass. I hope the general will work hard and never retreat."

"Half of the soldiers?" Cao Cao instinctively felt alert in his heart.

"What? Do General Cao have any doubts?" the man asked with a smile on his face.

"Ah, no, General Yuan is thoughtful and should do as hell. Let me give you some instructions."

Cao Cao turned around, pulled several generals and strategists and walked aside.

"Lord, this matter is a bit abnormal. Yuan Shu suddenly made such suggestions, but I'm afraid it was not accidental."

Guo Jia said.

"Can we have already known about our plan?" Xiahou Dun guessed.

"I definitely don't know this planner, but only a few of us are allowed to leak the news."

Cao Cao directly denied this possibility.

"No matter whether he has learned it or not, the so-called guardianship must be done, and we must prepare to make a comeback."

Guo Jia's words were recognized by everyone.

After a few people discussed for a while, Cao Cao walked back.

"If you have the help of the envoy, I have asked Yuan Rang to lead 20,000 troops and station here. I will set off here."

The messenger happily agreed: "Please, General Cao."

Shortly after passing through Hulao Pass, the sound of closing the city gate came from behind.

Cao Cao pretended to be careless and kept looking at the movements on both sides of the road. The messenger glanced at him, with a faint disdain on the corner of his mouth.

"I heard that General Cao's grandfather was a eunuch. I guess he was very familiar with Luoyang City and the Imperial Palace. Why is he so curious about the scenery outside the city?"

The tone of his speech at this time was completely different from when he invited Cao Cao into the city before. The sarcasm in his words were not concealed, especially the word "eunuch", which was very serious.

Xiahou Dun and others were angry because of this. When the attack was about to occur, they were stopped by Cao Cao with a wink.

He smiled and said to the envoy: "Cao has been away from Luoyang for a long time, and he can't help but feel nostalgic."

"Oh? How is the difference between the scenery outside the city and the general's memory?"

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, looked at the messenger, stared at the other party's eyes, without answering for a long time.

The messenger was inexplicably stared at by him, and he couldn't help but feel guilty and avoided his eyes: "Why didn't the general answer and stare at him instead, it's really rude."

"Haha, hahaha...hahaha..." Cao Cao suddenly laughed, which made the messenger even more nervous.

"The General...why did he laugh?"

"Hahaha, I laughed at you for coming to deceive me for Yuan Shu's son. I don't know that the death date is approaching, and I still dare to speak rudely in front of me. Wouldn't that be ridiculous?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the generals behind him pointed the weapons in their hands at the messenger. In a blink of an eye, the messenger felt that the murderous aura was overwhelming around him.

"General... Why did the general say this..." The messenger burst into tears and was in a panic.

Cao Cao sneered, "Don't pretend to behave. Just when I entered the pass, I saw that the soldiers on both sides were all not good-looking. But you, a man, had been kind to us before entering the pass, but now he often spoke wildly. Moreover, there were often plants and trees on both sides of the road shaking for no reason. It must be that they had ambushed the army and horses and wanted to take our lives. Do I know?"

The messenger was shocked when he heard this, and no longer cared about it, and hurriedly shouted, "Hurry, do it..."

Halfway through, Cao Cao drew his sword and pierced his chest with one sword.

At the same time, waves of shouts of killing came from both sides.

"Kill..."

"Protect the lord!" Xiahou Dun and others hurriedly protected Cao Cao.

However, Cao Cao angrily rebuked: "I'm here to attack the city with such a move, how can I retreat because I cherish my life?"

He held up his sword and shouted loudly: "Sirs, Yuan Shu was against the will of heaven and rebelled, which was a great rebellion. He followed me to repel the ambush!"

Under the leadership of several generals, 20,000 soldiers attacked the enemy troops on both sides. For a moment, swords and swords were shining and blood flowed into a river.

At Hulao Pass, Lei Chu stood on a high place, looking at the 20,000 soldiers resting outside the pass, and sneered in his heart.

"Hmph, take advantage of the last time, you can rest well, and you won't have this intention in a while."

He had already received the military order. As long as he successfully ambushed and killed Cao Cao and others, he would take the lead in attacking these 20,000 troops.

He was thinking about how to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but suddenly he heard a vague sound of fighting.

He looked around and soon saw the Cao army who had already fought in a mess.

"Well? Why did it launch an attack so quickly? It's only more than ten miles away from my Hulao Pass, but it's still dozens of miles to the Hulao Pass. Could it be that Han Xian and Zhang Xun, the two guys, were greedy for merit and made a rash attack in advance?"

At this moment, another clear and loud shout of killing suddenly came.

"Kill me, capture Hulao Pass and seize Luoyang City!"

"General, no, 20,000 soldiers outside the city suddenly came to attack the city..."

Listening to the exclamation of a soldier beside him, Lei Bu was so scared that his face turned pale. He quickly turned his head and looked outside the pass. Sure enough, the 20,000 army that was sitting on the ground resting just now was coming to Hulao Pass for murderous intent.

A large number of soldiers, carrying the ladder, quickly mounted the city wall.

"What's going on? Shouldn't we raid them? Why did it turn around?" Lei Bu was suddenly panicked and could not believe that what was in front of him was real.

He shook his head, rubbed his eyes, and looked carefully for a long time before he confirmed that he was really under attack.

"Hurry, fight back, fight back..."

Ji Ling, who was waiting outside the east gate of Luoyang City, waited for a long time but did not see Cao Cao's army arrive. When he was anxious, a soldier hurried over.

"General, the big thing is not good. Our army's ambush was seen through by Cao's army. The two ambushing generals had no choice but to attack in advance. The two generals had only 12,000 troops, which was hard to defeat Cao's army. Please ask General Ji to send troops quickly."

"What? Is it discovered by Cao Cao?" Ji Ling was shocked and angry.

"Two wastes! Originally, after Cao Cao walked past the ambush site, they raided from the rear. I attacked from the front and would definitely succeed. Now all the major events are broken by the two of them! Send troops, send troops quickly!"
