Hulao Pass.

The Yellow River is controlled in the north and the mountains are connected in the south. One man should be the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it.

Under the banner of the "Zhang" character, soldiers wearing iron armor and holding spears stood facing the east. They looked strict and resolute, their tiger eyes were full of wolf spirit, and their solemn and murderous aura filled the sky.

Since Zhang Xiu was known as the Grand Sima, it has been six or seven years since Zhang Liaoxiu Town Hulao. He has been raising troops here for six or seven years, and has never slacked off for a day.

The army is majestic.

"Dadadada!!!" Several fast horses galloped from the east, and the soldiers at the close immediately showed vigilance, but did nothing.

Kanto was raging, and there were endless explorations. This might be our spy.

Sure enough, after the few horses arrived at Guanxia, ​​they stopped. After some negotiations, the door was closed wide, and the cavalry was welcomed into Guanzhong, and then galloped towards Guanling Mansion.

In the Guan Ling Mansion.

Zhang Liao was practicing swordsmanship in the yard, which was different from Zhang Xiu, who had been quite lazy in recent years. Zhang Liao practiced swordsmanship diligently every day, and did not slacken in riding and shooting, and his martial arts became more and more sophisticated.

A personal soldier walked in quickly and said to Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao's face moved and threw the sword to the two soldiers beside him. Then he turned around and sat down in the hall. Soon after, a panting soldier came in and reported: "Report to General Zhang. Cao Cao sent an edict to various counties and counties in the name of General Yuan Shao. He ordered Xiahou Dun to defend Xingyang with 20,000 generals, Le Jin led 10,000 troops to defend Zhongmu, General Yu Jin led 10,000 troops to guard Changshe, and General Cao Hong led 10,000 troops to guard Guandu. He led 150,000 horse and infantry troops to cross the Yellow River north, and now it is probably already on the boundary of the Yellow River. This is a manifesto."

As he said that, the soldier took out a piece of cloth full of words from his arms and raised it over his head.

One of Zhang Liao's personal soldiers went to take it and then submitted it to Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao opened it and took a look.

It was Yuan Benchu's order to Jiuzhou.

"I heard that the wise ruler was going to be in danger to control changes, and loyal ministers were worried that it was difficult to establish power. Therefore, there were extraordinary people, then there were extraordinary things, extraordinary things, and then there were extraordinary things. Those who were extraordinary people planned it."

"The Grand Sima Zhang Xiu followed his father, General Ji, and Li Jue and Guo Si to act as evil spirits. Taotie was arrogant and injured and abused the people. The fake father Zhuo deposed the emperor and overthrew the country. Xiu was Jie's rebellion and left behind the ugly......"

Zhang Liao couldn't watch it halfway, and his head seemed to be hit by a broken head, buzzing and screaming. I don't know who made this manifesto, but it started attacking Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji and then turned to Dong Zhuo. It was rumored that Dong Zhuo was Zhang Xiu's fake father, and then Zhang Xiu himself, all of them were personal attacks.

"Who did this?" Zhang Liao filled his chest with anger and tried hard to tear the cloth apart. He raised his head as if he was about to eat the soldier, and asked with a shout.

As a minister, people insult my king. It is true that it is tolerant, but who is tolerant?

"The rumors were made by Chen Lin, a native of Guangling." The soldier was startled by Zhang Liao's momentum, and said with a look of no one on his face and lowered his head tremblingly.

"If I get this person, I will cook it." Zhang Liao cursed. Then he said, "Call the chief clerk over, record the news, and send it back to Luoyang."

"No." The personal soldiers agreed and went down immediately.

Although Zhang Liao was angry, he did not lose his calmness. He didn't have much troops in his hands, and the court did not have any extra troops to squander him. Cao Cao had already set up a net of heaven and earth east of Hulao Pass. Once he fought out, he would probably go forever.

Zhang Liao took the map and placed it on the table to watch, sneering.

Xiahou Dun had 20,000 people, and he was happy to gain ten thousand people, Yu Qiang had ten thousand people, and Cao Hong had ten thousand people.

There are 50,000 people in total, and I really look down on me, Zhang Liao.

Then he moved his eyes north to Hedong and the two counties of Henei. Cao Cao's 150,000 horses and infantry crossed the Yellow River north, and worked with Yuan Shao to work more than 500,000 troops?

Xu Huang and Taishi Ci each had only 20,000 soldiers.

"Bump!!!" Zhang Liao spread his right hand and slapped it heavily on the table. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it trembled three times. Zhang Liao suddenly stood up and cursed: "Three thieves, I bully my Grand Sima, far away in Nanzhong."

.............

To the east of Hulao are all elite soldiers and powerful cities, with a strong city.

Cao Cao led a 150,000 horse and infantry army to cross the Yellow River from Guandu and reach the boundary of Hebei. Yuan Shao in the north had already established a camp for Cao Cao first.

His own army is as large as 300,000 to 400,000, and the camp is as wide as 30 to 40 miles. With the Cao army camp, it is as large as 60 miles.

The flags are everywhere, and the armor and soldiers are like wheat in the wheat field, countless.

When Cao Cao landed, Yuan Shao personally led his civil and military officials to welcome Cao Cao, including Liu Bei, the prime minister of Pingyuan.

"Meng De. We haven't seen each other for many years, but you are still the same as yesterday." In front of everyone, Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao in front of him and sighed.

Cao Cao shook his head and sighed, "Benchu. Take a closer look." As he said that, Cao Cao reached out and grabbed a handful of hair and showed it to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao looked closely and saw that the black hair was mixed with white. His eyes were a little surprised and he looked at Cao Cao.

"He's still very young."

Cao Cao sighed, "I was just forty, but I was already looking at it, my hair was so vast that I was shaking. It was because of Zhang Xiu."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, "Every time I think of the emperor being humiliated in Zhang Xiu's hands and the Han Dynasty was covered with dust, my heart was cut like a knife, and I wish I could eat Zhang Xiu's flesh alive. But I was afraid that I was not strong enough, so I tried my best to integrate the Central Plains troops. It was for today."

At the end, Cao Cao was excited again and looked up and said to Yuan Shao, "Benchu. Let's go in and talk."

"Okay." Yuan Shao felt a little shocked and ashamed when he looked at this childhood friend. Compared to Cao Cao's loyalty, he was really a rebellious minister.

These days, he only cared about his official position, power, and military strength, and wanted to turn his family into a country and ascend the throne and become emperor one day.

I haven't thought about the Han Dynasty for a day.

The group of people came to the Central Army's tent in a crowd. After entering the tent, although Yuan Shao admired his young master very much, the main position still refused to give in.

Cao Cao sat on Yuan Shao's left, while the civil and military officials of both sides sat on both sides, clearly separated.

"Now that the troops are gathering, can the general have a plan?" Cao Cao sat down and immediately bowed to Yuan Shao.

"Now our army is one million (exaggerated), just like a huge rock pressing eggs unstoppable. You can first go west, attack Taishi Ci, and then divide 100,000 troops to siege Xu Huang from Hedong. You can cross the Yellow River. After crossing the river, divide 100,000 troops to Tongguan to cut off the connection between Chang'an and Luoyang. Spend 100,000 troops to the south of Luoyang to cut off the connection between Nanyang and Luoyang. Surround Luoyang into an isolated city. It does not take three months, Luoyang will be defeated without attacking."

Yuan Shao said with a confident look on his face and said with a spirit.
