Seeing Jia Rong get up and leave, Zang Ba struggled to get up and see him off, but Jia Rong pressed him on the bed again.

"We must cure General Zang's injuries!" Jia Rong ordered in a low voice.

Although Zang Ba was not valued in the Dong army, he was always a general promoted by Ding Yuan. He had a certain prestige in the Bingzhou army. It was better to help him in time than to add icing on the cake. When Zang Ba was suppressed, giving care would definitely make him grateful. Zang Ba had no emotions towards Dong Zhuo, so he could not say that he was grateful for his gratitude. It was natural to change the family.

Cao Xing snorted coldly and muttered, "False benevolence and false righteousness!" The eyes that looked at Zang Ba also contained a hint of resentment.

Jia Rong's behavior was artificial in his eyes, but he won the hearts of most Dong's soldiers for Jia Rong. After such a long time of cooperation, Dong's army has long heard of the treatment of the Xiliang army. The soldiers were divided into different levels, with different treatments, different clothing, different military pay and rights. Various rules spread through the mouths of the Xiliang army soldiers in Hulao Pass.

Many soldiers even asked the Dong army soldiers to see their rank. This is also an honor among the Xiliang army.

What made Dong Jun soldiers even more yearn for is that every soldier in the Western Liang Army is registered, including all the information of the soldiers. They will not consider the matter of death in battle. Jia Rong will arrange everything. This is a subtle trust. Just on the battlefield, there is no need for too many words. Just one sentence, Jia Rong can make the Western Liang Army rush forward.

Zhang Liao was extremely anxious when he saw this. While reporting everything in front of him to Luoyang, he kept winning over the morale of the army and comforting the injured soldiers and the lower-level generals. With the cooperation of Li Su, Niu Fu, Fan Chou and others, there was not much trouble. However, all the soldiers of the Xiliang Army will not forget that they can stay in Dong's army safely because the time is not right.

Outside Hulao Pass, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel anxious when he looked at the scene of the Allied camp. Although the Allied forces suffered great losses, the Hulao Pass was not much short of the defenders. As long as the princes could launch an attack of the same intensity as before, Hulao Pass would definitely be able to break.

There was no slap in one hand, and there were not many princes in the Allied Forces center.

"Report, General, Pingjin Pass was captured by the Allied Army, and Dong's general Li Kuo was defeated and retreated back to Luoyang."

Even though he was mentally prepared, Jia Rong's brows were still frowning. Pingjin was breached, which means that the princes outside the pass could directly approach Luoyang City, losing the meaning of continuing to defend Hulao Pass.

"I understand, go back." Jia Rong said lightly.

Jia Rong had already obtained this news through Jia Xu, but the generals in the pass had just obtained it.

The generals under the tent started to discuss, and Pingjin was captured, and the news was like a bolt from the blue.

Zhang Liao stepped forward and said, "General Jia, the princes can directly approach the city of Luoyang. If Luoyang is defeated, our army will be in danger. Please make a decision early and return to Luoyang."

Jia Rong was displeased. Zhang Liao's words seemed to be polite, not much different from ordering himself. He didn't like this feeling very much.

Zhao Yun shouted: "Our army was ordered by the emperor to guard Hulao Pass. The emperor did not have an order. How could he say that he would retreat easily?"

Among the eight passes, Hulao Pass has not the largest number of troops, but its combat power is the strongest.

Jia Rong reached out to stop the discussion of the generals in the tent and said slowly: "Luoyang City is high and thick. Even if the Allied forces have tens of thousands of troops, they will not be easily captured. If our army retreats, Hulao Pass will be empty. The princes take advantage of the opportunity to enter. The forces of both sides will join Luoyang. That is the time when danger comes."

Zhang Liao was shocked. He didn't expect Jia Rong to analyze the situation so clearly. Since Jia Rong got the news, he just frowned. This mentality of Mount Tai collapsed on his face without changing color was not seen by Ding Yuan.

"The princes outside the pass will definitely attack the city when they receive the news that Pingjin was captured. You need to work together to give the princes outside the pass a deep impression, so that they dare not underestimate the power of our army, and it will not be too late to discuss retreating!" Jia Rong said passionately.

Lu Bu and Zhao Yun and other Western Liang generals all claimed their promises, and the Dong army generals were also moved. After supplementing the Hulao Pass, they were unbreakable. Giving up for nothing was equivalent to destroying the result of previous efforts, and they felt a little unwilling to accept it.

Seeing that the army was motivated, Li Su shrugged at the general Dong's army and acquiesced to Jia Rong's approach.

The princes of all walks of life received news that Pingjin was destroyed one after another, and the entire Allied camp cheered. Since the uprising, the Allied forces have been invincible. All counties along the way avoided all the troops when they learned that the army was coming. Unexpectedly, they were blocked by the small Hulao Pass. Each prince had a little anger in his heart. However, these angers collapsed in front of the powerful combat power of the Western Liang army, as gentle as the Siberian tiger seen by a evil dog, and he wanted to use the dog's face to touch the tiger's butt.

After Yuan Shao said some scenes in the Central Army, he shouted: "Pingjin is destroyed, and the thief Dong will surely die. Tomorrow, you all work together to break through Hulao Pass and the troops are coming to Luoyang."

Cao Cao explained: "The Allied troops arrived in Luoyang, and the defenders in the pass would definitely lose their fighting spirit and their morale was depressed."

At this time, the princes were in a state of excitement and agreed. In their opinion, if Pingjin was destroyed, Dong Zhuo would definitely transfer the defenders of Hulao Pass back to Luoyang. The Allied forces only needed a little effort to capture this powerful pass that had plagued them for many days.

The next day, the sky was a little dark, and the sun was hiding in the dark clouds, as if he didn't want to see the scene under the Hulao Pass.

The princes were full of fighting spirit, but the soldiers were still concerned about Hulao. In the battle a few days ago, countless soldiers were injured. Many soldiers died in pain due to lack of treatment and their morale was low. Although the city walls of Hulao Pass were only so high, they were unattainable in the eyes of all soldiers.

The sound of war drums sounded, and the only three remaining well railings in the Allied forces slowly headed towards Hulao Pass.

Hulao Pass was full of swords and guns, and his morale was like a rainbow. It seemed that he had not received any news that Pingjin Pass had been broken. He was even more unanimous of Yuan Shao's slogan of surrendering and not killing outside the pass.

Jia Rong held the blue sword in his hand and stood proudly on the city wall, looking at the densely packed coalition soldiers outside the pass with his eyes calmly.

"Let me go!" Jia Rong ordered and closed the first crossbow arrow shot out, which was shot out from a huge crossbow, and roared towards the dense coalition soldiers. Each arrow penetrated at least three soldiers, and two of the three well railings fell down. The high-spirited princes seemed to be pinched by a pair of invisible big hands. The resistance in Hulao Pass was even more fierce than before.

Compared with tens of thousands of coalition forces, these dead soldiers were nothing. The soldiers around who witnessed this scene were afraid of the crossbow arrows that looked like babies' arms. When they rushed, their eyes were staring at Hulao Pass.

The crossbow is followed by the crossbow arrow and the bow and arrow attack. The soldiers at the close are splashing arrows to the fullest, and the three-stage attack makes the attacking side threatened from the city every moment. The occasional crossbow brings a trace of blood to create a battlefield bloody case.

Before approaching the city wall, thousands of Allied soldiers had been killed or injured.

Cao Cao looked at the battle situation in the distance and sighed. The fighting spirit of the defenders at the gate was even higher than before. The sluggish coalition soldiers could not conquer them at all, and only increased casualties. His awe of Jia Rong increased by more than one level again. With the extremely powerful cavalry and countless methods of defending the city, Cao Cao had a feeling that if the coalition forces could not completely eliminate Jia Rong this time, they would become everyone's enemy in the future.

The huge rocks and boiling oil poured down desperately, and the Allies suffered more resistance than ever before.

The sun slowly revealed half of his face from the dark clouds. After a careful look, he walked out with confidence. The dense bodies of coalition soldiers were left at Hulao Pass. The battle on the battlefield came quickly and retreated quickly. Although the princes of all walks of life were determined, the soldiers under their command did not take their lives. All three well railings were destroyed, and the only way for the Allied troops to attack the city was the tactics of the sea of ​​people.

After winning and counting the losses, Jia Rong began to arrange for the defenders to retreat to Luoyang.

Jia Rong could not have given Hulao Pass directly to the princes for nothing, and would definitely leave the defenders behind. Regarding the issue of leaving the generals, the Xiliang Army and the Dong Army had a dispute. Neither side was willing to leave the general to guard the general. Who knew what would happen in Luoyang and stayed for a lifetime.

As an old-level general in Dong's army, Fan Chou Niu Fu would naturally not be left to guard Hulao Pass. All that is left is Zhang Liao, Hao Meng, Cao Xing and other generals who have just joined Bingzhou. Li Su's status in the army is not something that these generals can shake, but Li Su handed over this tricky matter to Zhang Liao for handling.

"General Zhang, in your opinion, which general is more appropriate to keep Hulao Pass?" Niu Fu turned around and looked at Zhang Liao and asked.

Zhang Liao looked at the generals on both sides and said slowly: "General, I suggest you keep General Zang Ba to guard Hulao Pass. General Zang Ba is a steady person. Hulao Pass is a major pass. The princes have been beaten and will not talk about war easily."

Hao Meng and Cao Xing agreed, as long as they didn't leave them to guard the pass, it would be fine.

"I agree with General Zhang's opinion." Hao Meng and Cao Xing looked at each other and said in unison.

Niu Fu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, leave a thousand soldiers and horses to let General Zang Ba stay at Hulao Pass. This general will definitely ask General Zang for credit in front of the Grand Tutor."

A gloating look flashed in Hao Meng's eyes. The princes outside the pass had as many as tens of thousands of troops, leaving behind a thousand defenders. It was obvious that they wanted to punish Zang Ba. Thinking of Jia Rong's intention to visit Zang Ba a few days ago, the generals present felt it was natural, and secretly glad that they did not show their goodwill to the Xiliang army without any short-sightedness.

Unlike Dong Jun, when Jia Rong told this matter in the Xiliang army, it immediately attracted a fierce competition from the generals present, and everyone wanted to stay.

Jia Rong thought for a long time and said slowly: "Brother, how about I want to keep you and Hua Xiong and Li Shun guarding Hulao Pass?" Guo Si is calm and has always been a strategy, and has a lot of prestige in the army. He is also an old partner with Hua Xiong. The two of them are naturally foolproof when they cooperate. With Li Shun's camp, they can be said to be a perfect city defense combination.
