"This Zhang Chen and Zhang Ziyue! I'm so angry!" After Zhang Chen went out, Dong Zhuo threw his wine glass and said angrily.

"Tai Shi, please calm down! General Ziyue should be happy to have such a loyal minister!" Li Ru advised on the side, but he was very happy.

"Forget it! I don't care about that guy's life or death, Wenyou! Go and drink with me! Have your last meal in this Huzhuo!" Dong Zhuo said this, but he was still mixed with emotion, so he simply wanted to stop drunk.

"Yes!" Although Li Ru was a civil servant, he naturally had a good alcohol tolerance due to this prosperous Xiliang place. What surprised him was that Dong Zhuo was so worried about Zhang Chen's affairs that he went to drink. This was rare. It was only when Dong Zhuo and his brothers died.

......

"Ziyue!" Lao Jiang saw Zhang Chen coming in and hurriedly greeted him.

"How is it?" Lao Jiang was very concerned.

"My father-in-law advised me not to leave a mat, but I just decided to mat, and he got angry." Zhang Chen didn't want to say anything more. The key now is Ma Chao's progress.

"Ziyue, I don't object to staying, but can we rely on more than 10,000 people to block more than 300,000 rebels?" Lao Jiang was still a little worried.

"I'm not sure, but as long as the reinforcements from Meng Qi arrive, our army can hold on for a month." Zhang Chen expressed his thoughts.

"Meng Qi? The Third General?" Lao Jiang was a little confused. Obviously, Zhang Chen did not tell Lao Jiang about the plan. Of course, this is also an advantage as a time traveler. It will not be revealed to people in the Three Kingdoms period, even Dong Xueer, who is married to Zhang Chen.

"Old Jiang! You will know that in the next ten days we will arrange all the defense work, and do a good job of defense in the outer wall, outer wall, wall wall, inner wall, and main city wall so that we can retreat to defense!" Zhang Chen changed the topic.

"Okay, I'll do it now!" Old Jiang heard that Zhang Chen didn't want to tell him, and he couldn't ask any more questions, so he prepared to leave.

"By the way, Lao Jiang, the people in Hulao Pass have all withdrawn? How about the reinforced back line project?" Zhang Chen suddenly remembered.

"Well, the people have all withdrawn. The defense line is taking one tenth of each mile as you want [every fifty meters] to lay out a hole. It will definitely be completed within ten days. But, Ziyue, what's the use of this? The soldiers are all very strange." Lao Jiang stopped and turned his head to ask.

"Oh, I will know when Meng gets up! But tell them that you must leave a gap! This is the key to whether our army can defend against Hulao Pass!" Zhang Chen started to keep an eye on again.

"Okay..." Lao Jiang couldn't figure it out, but he still went out to do it.

Three days later, Dong Zhuo led the main force to withdraw from Hulao Pass, and the remaining troops slowly retreated from Hulao Pass in the next few days.

At the same time, Zhang Chen's troops were training in full swing. At Zhang Chen's request, Dong Zhuo left five thousand men to repair the city wall and help build fortifications, and everything was ready in full swing.

The Allies also seemed to have a tacit understanding and did not launch an attack within ten days because they were waiting for the manufacturing of siege weapons such as well railings and escorts of food and grass.
