Hua Xiong surrendered, and Wang Lei solved another major problem.

The generals went back to rest. The next morning, Han Fu followed Wang Lei's advice and summoned all the princes to discuss matters again. The princes gathered together. Han Fu's serious eyes swept over the princes present, with a low tone and slowly said: "Huxiong was defeated, and Hulao Pass has no one to take charge of the overall situation. The leader of the alliance believes that it is an opportunity to defeat the Liang army in Xihulao Pass. Who dares to fight and win Hulao Pass?"

Yuan Shao shook his head quickly and said, "Leader of the Alliance, the soldiers under my command are not in acclimatized with the local conditions. The soldiers are not well-off and have difficulty in fighting. Shao has the heart but lacks strength. Please forgive me."

brush!!

Han Fu's face changed. Yuan Shao clearly did not go out to fight on purpose.

This guy is hateful!

Before Han Fu could speak, Yuan Shu continued: "Hulao Pass has no Hua Xiong to take charge of the overall situation, but Hulao Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there is still the main force of the Western Liang army stationed. Even if Hua Xiong is not there, there must be another general. In my opinion, it is not suitable to send troops to fight now. Please think twice before you act."

A few words can even help Han Fu's face.

The Yuan brothers made an appointment to watch the wall.

Han Fu's expression was ugly and his mood was even worse.

Unfortunately, Han Fu obviously did not expect the reaction of the princes. He saw that the prefect of Hanoi, the governor of Yanzhou, the governor of Xuzhou, the governor of Xuzhou, and the prefect of Peking Gongsun Zan and other princes all said that they were not suitable for fighting. The reasons they found were also different, which made Wang Lei laugh and cry, making Han Fu's heart difficult to calm down and his face became even more ugly. He did not expect that the princes would be so uncooperated.

Han Fu is nominally the leader of the alliance, but he cannot mobilize the army. It can only be said that it is in name but not real.

However, Han Fu had no choice.

Han Fu took a deep breath and said again: "Since it is a siege to attack Dong Zhuo, you should take the initiative to attack. If you are afraid of Dong Zhuo, why should you respond to the proclamation to attack Dong? Just hide at home and sleep."

"I'll lead the troops there!"

Suddenly, Cao Cao stood up and said.

When everyone was unwilling to send troops, Cao Cao took the initiative to stand up and said.

"I am willing to help Cao Mengde, but our army was defeated, with only a few generals and no army to help. I wonder if Mengde is willing to accept my help?" Sun Jian looked at Cao Cao, his eyes calm but implicit murderous intent. After the last defeat, Sun Jian's words and behaviors changed, and he became even more cruel.

Cao Cao said: "It is naturally the best to have the help of Brother Wentai."

Han Fu smiled and nodded repeatedly, appointed Cao Cao as his front army, and led his army to attack Hulao Pass.

...

Hulao Pass, within the level.

In the central army's tent, several generals gathered. In the center of the tent, there was a man sitting, about thirty years old, with a gentle face, and his eyes were filled with gleams. He was wearing armor, holding a sword in his hand, sitting upright, revealing a sense of solemnity. This man's name was Li Jue, who was a general under Dong Zhuo, who was brave and resourceful, commanding the elite "Flying Bear Army" under Dong Zhuo.

After Hua Xiong's defeat, the army retreated to Hulao Pass, and the news also came back to Luoyang. Dong Zhuo received the news, and was first angry at Hua Xiong's failure, but no matter how angry he was, he had to stabilize the situation ahead.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo sent his general Li Jue to lead his army to take charge of the overall situation overnight.

At the same time, a strategist was sent to assist Dong Zhuo. This man was wearing a black suit and a fur robe. He was tall and thin, and his eyes were often narrowed, as if nothing was in his heart. This man's name was Jia Xu, whose courtesy name was Wenhe, a native of Xiliang, was in his early forties and served as the chief lieutenant. He was the leader of the planner who assisted Li Jue in Hulao Pass.

"General, including the army brought by Hua Xiong to Hulao Pass, our troops in this battle were as high as 60,000. Moreover, our soldiers were not ordinary soldiers, but elite troops. I suggest going straight to the coalition camp and achieving full success in one battle!"

In the camp, another general spoke.

This person's name is Guo Si. He has a very good relationship with Li Jue and serves as deputy general of the army.

Li Jie looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Sir, what do you think you should do?"

Guo Si knew that Jia Xu was a capable person, so he maintained respect and waited quietly. Jia Xu stroked his short beard under his jaw with expressionless face and said softly: "When fighting with the coalition forces, Xu suggested that he wait and see if he did not send troops for the time being."

"Why?" Li Jue looked puzzled.

Jia Xu showed his sleeves and analyzed: "Hua Xiong was captured after being defeated and the morale of the Xiliang army was damaged. To restore the morale of the army, one must win and not allow another failure. Therefore, it is not advisable to fight easily, otherwise once the army is defeated again, the morale of the army will be even more depressed and the consequences will be unpredictable."

Guo Si nodded and said, "But, it may not be a failure!"

Jia Xu continued: "The two armies faced Hulao Pass as the border. We have the Hulao Pass that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and have a advantage in geographical advantages. Once we go out, even if the chance of winning is high, no one can expect what will happen on the battlefield situation. We should focus on stability at the moment. In addition, the coalition forces came from all over the country and consumed countless money and food every day. The longer the time, the more beneficial it is to us."

After a pause, Jia Xu's tone changed and he continued: "The Prime Minister ordered us to lead our army to Hulao Pass. The first priority is to defend Hulao Pass, and the second is to fight to face the enemy."

After hearing this, Li Jue bowed and said, "Sir, what's right. We are waiting for the coalition forces to come in Hulao Pass."

Guo Si originally wanted to go out to fight, but after hearing this, he didn't plan to go out again.

"Report!!"

The soldiers came and reported: "General, Lu Bu led his army to the barracks under the orders of the prime minister."

Li Jie frowned, and a hint of unhappiness flashed between his eyebrows. Li Jie looked down on Lu Bu, not only because Lu Bu was arrogant, but also because Lu Bu also called Dong Zhuo the adoptive father, but this was Lu Bu who killed his former adoptive father Ding Yuan and turned to Dong Zhuo's tent before he became a disciple. Li Jie looked down on Lu Bu's character.

Guo Si frowned and said, "We are the ones who decide this battle, why is he coming?"

"Hahaha……"

Outside the camp, a loud laugh suddenly sounded.

The curtains of the camp tent were rolled up, and a general came. This man was tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. He wore a three-pointed purple gold crown, a Xichuan red brocade flower robe, a beast-faced, a chain armor, and a slinging lion belt. While walking, the tiger's steps moved forward, which puts great pressure on people. This man is no one else, but Lu Bu, the first general under Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo strode forward, walked straight to the tent and sat down, and said with a smile: "Everyone, I am here to fight against the princes of Kanto in this battle. No matter how many soldiers and horses the princes of Kanto have, I will resist it with all my might."

The words showed their arrogant personality, which made Li Jue and Guo Si look bad.

"Report!!"

Just now, another soldier ran in. The soldiers knelt on the ground and saluted on one knee, reporting: "Report to General, an army broke out from the princes' camp and headed straight to Hulao Pass."
Chapter completed!
