Cao Cao looked at the large number of talents in the tent and was filled with joy. The Xiliang army's defeat of Xianbei was still resounding throughout the world, but the allied forces numbered 360,000. What kind of warfare did the barbarians on the grassland know?
Knowing that he had a high chance of winning with his own brute force, he said loudly: "Everyone, Hangu Pass is in front of us. It is said that Chang'an is extremely prosperous, no less than Luoyang in the past. After it is broken, the spoils will be divided according to merit."
Yuan Shao glanced at Cao Cao dissatisfied and snorted: "Although Chang'an is prosperous, the Xiliang army is not a decoration, especially the Xiliang cavalry. Their combat power is said to be unparalleled in the world. I am afraid that they will not be able to win in a short time. Moreover, Jia Rong has been running Chang'an for many years and has excellent soldiers."
When the food is sufficient and the people return to their hearts, the outcome of victory or defeat is unknown."
"Why bother to have other people's ambitions at the beginning? The Xiliang army lost Bingzhou and lost as many as 30,000 troops. Excluding the soldiers and horses guarding various places, the available troops were only more than 60,000." Cao Cao retorted, if Jia Xu was here, he would definitely
You will be surprised by Cao Cao's calculations, which clearly calculated the strength of the Xiliang army.
Liu Biao echoed: "Meng De's words are reasonable. Jia Rong was a person who deceived the emperor and ignored his superiors. The death of the emperor was inescapably related to him. Wen You couldn't stand Jia Rong's arbitrariness, so he resolutely rebelled."
, surrendered to the Allies."
Seeing this, Li Ru took a step forward and said, "What Mr. Liu said is true. Jia Rong has had the intention to kill the king for more than a day or two. When he was in Chang'an, if the ministers had not tried to persuade him, he would have been dead.
The Holy One was killed, but fortunately Master Situ was extremely resourceful and allowed the Holy One to escape from Chang'an. This time, the Xiliang army died without a burial place."
The other princes in the tent did not take it seriously when they heard this. After all, Li Ru rebelled from the Xiliang army. This kind of person who did not hesitate to betray his master for his own benefit is very shameful. But now that they are allies, the princes naturally
I won't say much.
"The country cannot live without a king for a day. I wonder if you can find a good candidate?" Cao Cao threw out an important bargaining chip. He lost the Han Emperor and the Cao army lost a banner of justice. Now in order to completely eradicate the Xiliang army, let him
The allied forces of the princes were completely united and even proposed the matter of electing the emperor. His idea was very simple. Today, the powerful princes gathered outside Hangu Pass. As long as a new emperor was elected, it would be natural, and the princes could just do it.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, it will be very simple to unite completely, break through Hangu Pass, and revive the Han Dynasty.
The princes in the tent can completely represent the entire Han Dynasty, but will they be willing to hand over their military power?
When Liu Biao heard this, his eyes narrowed and he scanned the people in the tent.
"Liu Yan of Yizhou led his troops to the battlefield many times during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. He is a man of great talent and strategy. He has governed Yizhou for many years. His army is strong and the people are loyal to him." Seeing that everyone did not answer, Liu Bei cupped his hands and said.
: "I wonder what you guys think?"
"No, Liu Yan occupied Yizhou, and when the princes attacked Dong, he did not contribute any force or obey orders, for fear that the people in the world would not obey." Liu Biao retorted.
"I remember that Mr. Liu didn't participate in the battle against Dong, right?" Yuan Shao asked.
Liu Biao's face flashed with a hint of gloom, then returned to normal, and said with a smile: "In the past, Liu was just appointed as the shepherd of Jingzhou. There were rebellions everywhere in Jingzhou, and the soldiers under his control were helpless and weak."
"So among the royal family members in the world, there is Mr. Liu from Youzhou." Liu Bei turned his attention to Liu He.
Liu He's face turned red and he was about to step forward when Yan Rou behind him pulled him slightly.
"I have just assumed the position of shepherd of Youzhou, and I am not as much as you are as a few adults." Liu He said modestly.
In this world, the famous Han clan clan members are Liu Bei of Xuzhou, Liu Yan of Yizhou, Liu He of Youzhou, and Liu Bei of Jingzhou. However, Liu, Liu Bei, and Liu Biao were faced with the opportunity to become the Ninth Five-Year Plan, so they naturally refused to do so.
Thinking that this was the best opportunity to become famous instantly, Liu Bei was somewhat excited in his heart. If he could become emperor, he would not worry about his family not being prosperous. Then the whole world would be his.
Seeing the quarrels in the tent, Yuan Shao coughed and said: "The most important thing now is to defeat the Xiliang Army. There are 360,000 allied troops. We should elect an alliance leader and give unified command to defeat the Xiliang Army."
"General Yuan was the leader of the alliance against Dong Dong before. I think it would be better for him to be the leader." Li Ru cupped his hands and said.
Yuan Shao smiled and nodded at Li Ru. With the support of one more person, the odds of winning the alliance leader would be greater, and the look he looked at Li Ru became softer.
"No, Meng De is a hussar general who was personally conferred by the Holy Emperor. His official position is much higher than that of Benchu. If Benchu is allowed to serve as the leader of the alliance, wouldn't it be against the Holy Emperor's wishes?" Liu Biao retorted.
Among the six princes, Li Ru and Liu He all sided with Yuan Shao. There was a rift between Liu Bei and Cao Cao, so they would not support him. In the end, Yuan Shao once again served as the leader of the coalition, and Cao Cao served as the deputy leader, choosing a day to attack Han.
In Guguan, the election of the emperor still had a great influence on the princes, especially Liu Bei and Liu Biao, who were active frequently and did not want to miss this golden opportunity.
Even if the coalition army of 360,000 people saw the Hangu Pass surrounded by mountains and one man could not open it without ten thousand people, they could not help but feel angry. Even if the Xiliang Army only had 60,000 people, it was enough to hold the pass and prevent the coalition forces from entering.
inch forward.
The army of 360,000 people has camps stretching for hundreds of miles. Flags are flying and they are connected together. It is majestic and spectacular. The camp is also built five miles away from Hangu Pass. There are dense antlers and soldiers patrolling the camp.
The exchanges were constant and the Xiliang army was not given any chance to attack the camp. It was not comparable to the half-baked camps of the Xiongnu and Xianbei.
"When the coalition forces arrive for the first time and the camp is not stable, which general dares to go out of the city to fight?" Guo Bang said loudly.
Zhao Yun took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "I'm willing to take this humble position!"
Guo Si praised: "Zilong is a fierce general of our army, and he will definitely win the battle."
Ordering all the five hundred cavalry, Zhao Yun took the lead and rushed towards the outside of the pass. His spear was suddenly raised high. The five hundred cavalry behind him all rode in unison, and no one appeared confused. Facing the mighty coalition camp, the faces of the cavalry
There is no fear whatsoever.
"Zilong has quite a strategy for running the army. When I saw it today, it turned out to be true," Guo Bang said.
Zhao Yun's five hundred cavalry were formerly Blood Guards and had outstanding combat effectiveness. Each cavalryman was a warrior selected from an army of hundreds of thousands and was equipped with the best weapons. He could be said to be a representative of the Xiliang army's cavalry.
Among the coalition forces, Yuan Shao learned that the Xiliang army had come out of the city to challenge, and hurriedly summoned all the princes to discuss matters.
"The Xiliang army has come to challenge us. Which general dares to challenge us?" Yuan Shao said slowly as he glanced at the people in the tent.
The princes looked at each other and remained silent. The Xiliang army had so many fierce generals and its cavalry was said to be unparalleled in the world. They could not expect their generals to go up and die in vain.
"Su Wen, the leader of the alliance, has two generals, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, why not let them go forward and fight, we will definitely win a big victory." Cao Cao said with his hand.
Yuan Shao's complexion changed slightly, and he was unhappy in his heart. He snorted coldly: "What Meng De said is true!"
Liu Bei secretly held back his smile. When the allied forces attacked Dong Zhuo and could not capture the Hulao Pass for a long time, Yuan Shao often said, "Admiral Yan Liangwen is ugly." Now that Cao Cao mentioned it in front of all the princes, he naturally felt embarrassed.
It will look good.
Wen Chou, carrying a broadsword and wearing strong armor, also ordered five hundred cavalry to rush to the battlefield, with the banner with the word "Yuan" fluttering in the wind.
"The generals will be named by their names. My subordinates will not kill unknown people!" Zhao Yun said proudly.
Wen Changshang said angrily, "I am General Wen Chou of the Yuan Army! The pretty boy shall die!" After saying this, Wen Chou slapped his horse and came to Zhao Yun to kill him.
Zhao Yun's face was gloomy. Everyone in the Xiliang army knew that Zhao Yun's reverse scale was that he could not be called a pretty boy. No matter who mentioned it, he would immediately fall out.
One shot and one sword, one was a general of the Yuan Army, and the other was a fierce general of the Xiliang Army. Wen Chou was experienced in sword skills, and Zhao Yun was excellent in spear skills. The two of them fought vigorously, and the soldiers on both sides also stared at the field with sharp eyes, especially Wen Chou's.
The cavalry led by him were even more stunned. When had there ever been such a confrontation? Among the Jizhou army, Wen Chou could be said to have completely swept them away with a single sword.
After twenty years, Wen Chou was slightly out of breath and coldly snorted: "The pretty boy is indeed quite capable."
Zhao Yun's spear flicked and stabbed, heading straight for Wen Chou's face: "Suffer death!"
Soldiers from both sides are waving flags and shouting. Victory in the first battle between the two armies will be a great boost to morale.
After Hangu was closed, Huang Zhong stared at the battlefield without blinking, and breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "General Zhao has won!"
Sure enough, on the battlefield, Zhao Yun's marksmanship was so uncanny that Wen Chou couldn't dodge it. He even saw the tip of You Han's spear and hurriedly avoided it. The spear pierced the general's helmet on his head. Wen Chou suddenly became disheveled and extremely embarrassed. He rushed back to his hometown.
Array.
Zhao Yun waved his spear forward, and five hundred cavalry who were waiting in full formation rushed forward.
After Wen Chou rushed back to the formation, he also led the cavalry to fight out. As he approached, the cavalry on both sides set their bows and loaded their arrows in tacit understanding.
The equipment of the Xiliang army's cavalry was not comparable to that of Yuan's army. Under the rain of arrows, Yuan's army's cavalry lost more than 60 people.
Guo Si, who had closed the door, was surprised and said: "The riding skills of Yuan Jun's cavalry are so high?"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "I'm afraid that when the princes attacked Dong Zhuo, the secret of the Xiliang cavalry was already known to the princes. You see, these soldiers all hold the same scimitars as the Xiliang army."
"Although the weapons are the same, they may not be able to defeat our army!" Huang Zhong snorted coldly, seeming to be quite disdainful of the princes' secret imitation.
"That's natural. The weapons of the Xiliang army are all the latest scimitars made by craftsmen's workshops. They are sharp and hard and cannot be compared with the princes' army. Moreover, the cavalry of the princes' army has not experienced too many cavalry duels, so naturally they are not as many as our army.
." Guo Jiadao.
In the beginning, the Yuan Army's cavalry was able to fight the Xiliang Army vigorously, but after a while, it showed its weakness. In the Central Plains, the cavalry is invincible. A single charge can cause the enemy's infantry to collapse in an instant. Have you ever encountered such a situation with the Xiliang Army?
He is a powerful enemy right away. He was able to support him at first, but in the end he was completely chased and beaten.
