Chapter four hundred and ninetieth Cao Cao's suggestion
After that earth-shattering battle at Hulao Pass.
The coalition forces began to attack Hulao Pass on a large scale, sending troops to attack non-stop early every morning.
Unfortunately, Hulao Pass was so majestic that for several days, the coalition forces did not even attack the top of the city.
Tens of thousands of troops were lost, but it had no effect at all, which brought the morale of the coalition forces to the lowest point.
So the coalition forces stopped attacking. At this moment, Yuan Shao and others were also discussing in the military camp what to do?
"Everyone, the morale of the army is low now, and Hulao Pass is like Optimus Prime. How can we break this cage?"
Yuan Shao, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at the many princes below and said.
Yuan Shao has been in quite bad shape these past few days. He has been unable to break through Hulao Pass, which has made his position in the alliance increasingly challenged.
And more importantly, he wants to take revenge, but it is hopeless now. If he cannot break Hulao Pass, then he will never have a chance to take revenge.
In addition, the amount of food and grass consumed by this army of millions every day is also an astronomical figure. Dong Zhuo can afford it, but the alliance cannot afford it.
So now Yuan Shao is extremely anxious.
After hearing Yuan Shao's inquiry, everyone present shook their heads helplessly. They obviously had no good solution.
The majesty of Hulao Pass is there. If you want to break through Hulao Pass, you can only rely on this strength. It is obviously difficult for any conspiracy and trick to make a difference.
Silence, silence, leaving only the sound of breathing in the camp.
"Leader Yuan, don't be anxious. Our coalition forces now have millions of troops, and Dong Zhuo's Hulao Pass only has about 200,000 troops."
"In terms of strength alone, we are stronger than each other. As long as we can persevere, the final victory will belong to us."
This was what the good old man Kong Rong said. He didn't consider it. Just looking at strength, it was true that the coalition army was stronger than Dong Zhuo's army.
But he didn't expect that there were so many soldiers in the coalition, and the consumption of food and grass would be huge.
However, Yuan Shao also nodded to Kong Rong's comfort. He also knew that he was a little impatient. Now, if their coalition forces follow the steps, they should be able to break Hulao Pass.
But this has caused some loss to his prestige. These days, his brother has been constantly slandering him.
It was because of his position as the leader of the alliance, which made him very angry, but he had no choice because the other party could hold his own.
And when he summoned everyone to the parliament today, he actually wanted to see if his brother had already won over enough princes, and then he was ready to force him into the palace.
You must know that there is no harmony within the coalition forces.
There are even many factions here, especially between him and his brother Yuan Shu, who are even more antagonistic and dissatisfied with each other.
If it wasn't for the unified goal, which was revenge, I'm afraid his brother would have exploded long ago.
However, after observing in the camp, Yuan Shao felt a lot more relieved. Apparently, his brother did not get the recognition of many princes.
This is good news.
"Benchu, the army has lost tens of thousands in these days, but it has not climbed to Hulao Pass, which has a bit of a blow to the morale of the army,"
"Not bad! I wonder if Meng De has any suggestions?" Yuan Shao nodded and looked at Cao Cao and asked.
"I have observed these days. The reason why the army failed to attack the city is because our army lacks some leading generals. If these generals are allowed to attack Hulao Pass together, I believe that with their leading momentum, they should be able to lead the army.
He led the army to attack the city."
Cao Cao thought about it and couldn't help but suggest.
Cao Cao's suggestion shocked all the princes present and asked their generals to take the lead in attacking Hulao Pass. This suggestion was indeed good.
Generally speaking, many strong players like to take the lead in attacking.
But ever since Lu Bu's demon-like posture came into their eyes that day, they no longer dared to let their army attack.
Because they know that once they encounter this person, they obviously have no confidence that their general can withstand the opponent's Fang Tian Hua Ji.
"Everyone, I know what you are worried about, but Lu Bu is not a god. Although his strength is indeed extraordinary, he is not absolutely invincible."
"You all saw the battle that day. As long as there were enough strong generals, Lu Bu would be defeated. I also investigated and found that there were not many strong generals under Dong Zhuo's command. Except for Lu Bu and Hua Xiong,
There is no such thing as a strong general who can take advantage of it.”
"There are many strong generals in our coalition. As long as we send some to contain Lu Bu and Hua Xiong, then the other generals will lead the army to attack Hulao Pass. I believe they will be able to attack it."
Seeing that many of the princes present were silent, Cao Cao was a little anxious, so he continued.
He knew why those princes were silent. It was probably because they were worried that the generals under his command were in danger, thus causing damage to his own strength.
But the more this happened, the less likely they thought of breaking Hulao Pass. It must be said that Cao Cao at this time was not the King of Wei later.
At the moment, he is quite loyal to the Han Dynasty. His ideal at the moment is to be a general of the Han Dynasty conquering the West. Huo Qubing is his idol of Cao Cao.
Therefore, among the coalition forces, he was the most active in defeating Dong Zhuo and rescuing Emperor Xian, while most of the other princes had this or that purpose.
For example, the two Yuan brothers had no loyalty to the Han Dynasty. Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing was the result of his Yuan family's plan.
The Yuan family has long had the idea of replacing the Han Dynasty.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion shattered the last hope of the Han Dynasty, which gave the Yuan family hope.
The death of Emperor Ling gave the Yuan family hope. The Yuan family sat and watched the battle between relatives and eunuchs, and then when the time was right, they revealed their bloodthirsty minions.
He suggested that General He Jin recruit Dong Zhuo to Beijing. At that time, Dong Zhuo could be said to be a dog they had trained.
But the Yuan family never imagined that their dog would turn into a tiger and wolf, and then start to bite their owner.
In Luoyang City, the Yuan clan was almost uprooted by the action, except for some of his disciples of Yuan's generation who escaped.
The previous generation, including the patriarchs of the Yuan family, were all wiped out by Dong Zhuo.
Therefore, no one hates Dong Zhuo more than Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. They want to rip off Dong Zhuo.
But if they want to do this, they must first capture Hulao Pass. If they can't capture Hulao Pass, they have nothing to do.
