Chapter 389: The Pass

Xu Huang was a good guard and was a famous general of the guard under Huangfu Jian's tent.

When Huangfu Jian debuted, Xu Huang defended Sanshui County with more than 10,000 remaining troops for five days, blocked 100,000 Xianbei cavalry, and won time for Huangfu Jian to eliminate the Qianghu Rebellion and became famous in one battle. Now Xu Huang guarded a Hulao Pass with 50,000 elite troops from Longxiang Camp, and actually felt strong pressure, which shows the fierce battle in Hulao Pass.

Cao Cao is afraid he will be stubborn!

"The enemy attacked and defended, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. In one month, General Xu Huang's Longxiang Camp killed 30,000 people, and the casualties of Cao Cao's coalition exceeded 100,000." Yan Zhong said in a low voice.

Yan Zhong, who has been through war for a long time, was still scared when talking about the war in Hulao Pass. The tragic battle at Hulao Pass can be seen. In a month, more than 130,000 resentful souls were added to Hulao Pass!

Thirteen thousand means blood is stained with dust, and several corpses are piled up in every inch of land in Hulao Pass.

"Cao Cao's coalition forces had 300,000 casualties, and there were 200,000 troops, with a large number of people! Where is Ma Teng's Blade of Bear Camp and Taishici's Ninth Battalion?" Huangfu Jian sank slightly, and there was not much expression on his fair face, but just asked lightly. Such a situation was as expected by Huangfu Jian and others.

"After General Ma Teng's Fengxiong Camp captured the counties of Yanzhou, he left his deputy general Yan Xing to lead an army of 20,000 to guard the counties within Yanzhou. He personally promoted 30,000 troops to seize the two counties of Jiyin and Shanyang, cutting off the retreat of Cao Cao's coalition forces to Yanzhou."

"After the ninth battalion of General Taishi Ci took over the two prefectures of Xu and Qing, Zhou Tai led 10,000 troops to defend Xuzhou, and Jiang Qin led 10,000 troops to defend Qingzhou. General Taishi Ci, military advisor Xu Shu, and deputy general Ji Ling led 30,000 troops to Liangguo, Chenguo and Yingchuan, Yuzhou County, to prevent the Cao Cao's coalition forces from breaking through these three sides."

Yan Zhong walked in front of the map in the imperial study room and explained it in detail.

"The Luoyang defenders included Zhao Yun's dragon cavalry and only 30,000 troops, Ma Teng gathered 30,000 troops in Yanzhou border counties, and Taishici gathered 30,000 troops in Yuzhou border counties. Our army's 90,000 troops limited the Cao Cao coalition to this narrow area in front of Chenliu County and Hulao Pass. The 200,000 Cao army was head-on for 90,000 elite troops in our army, and our army was not weak. However, our army's troops were too dispersed, which was because there was more defense and insufficient offense."

Following Yan Zhong's words, Huangfu Jian marked circles on the map in red and blue, and the situation of the enemy and us was clearly visible.

Under the red pen of Huangfu Jian, the area controlled by Cao Cao's coalition forces was extremely clearly reflected in front of everyone. At present, the only one in the hands of Cao Cao's coalition forces was the land in front of Chenliu and Hulao Pass, which was at best just a place between two counties.

The two counties support 200,000 troops, and the Yellow River is controlled by Yan Rou's naval army. It is impossible for the Cao Cao coalition to get the support of Yuan Shao in Jizhou. The cold winter comes, and in a few months, the Cao Cao coalition will collapse without fighting due to lack of food and clothing.

But Huangfu Jian knew that Cao Cao was a cruel man, cruel and vicious, and he was really forced into a desperate situation. He would be able to eat people! Chenliu, hundreds of thousands of people in Xingyang were probably slaughtered by this cruel man and used as military rations. In Huangfu Jian's previous life, Cao Cao did not do such things that were harmful to the world. Huangfu Jian didn't want to see this situation, and he was not so cruel that he ignored the people.

Therefore, Huangfu Jian decided to end the war in a short period of time, so as not to avoid Cao Cao's in a hurry and blame the poor people.

However, to end the war in a short time, the Dawu *** team had to launch an active offensive. It was a bit unrealistic to attack the Cao army that gathered together with 90,000 troops scattered in many places, and it might be defeated by the Cao army and collapsed.

There was silence in the imperial study room, and everyone was looking at the map and pondering silently.

"Your Majesty, I suggest strengthening the defense of Hulao Pass. I believe that when Cao's army cannot capture Hulao Pass for a long time, they will choose Hulao Pass as a breakthrough." Just as everyone was silent, Guo Jia, who was imaginative, spoke.

The eight passes outside Luoyang were guarded, and the other passes were in the hinterland controlled by the Dawu Kingdom. Cao Cao could not even attack. Only Hulao Pass in the east and Yuyuan Pass in the southeast were similar to Cao Cao's coalition forces, becoming the offensive point of Cao Cao's coalition forces.

The Shuyuan Pass is built beside Songshan, controlling the passage from the direction of Yinghe River. The mountain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Because its Shuyuan Pass is narrow, it is not conducive to large-scale combat and easy to defend, so it is not the first choice for the attacking side. But there are exceptions. The more steep the place, the easier it is to become larger and easier, and the more susceptible it is to be attacked. There are many cases of battles from the Shuyuan Pass to break through Luoyang.

As soon as Guo Jia said this, it was like a heavy hammer and a drum, and everyone was as if they were struck by lightning. The right military advisor Yan Zhong shivered even more and even sweated in this cold day. So far, the offensive of Cao's army was concentrated in Hulao Pass, and the heavy troops in Luoyang were also concentrated in Hulao Pass, and everyone's eyes were also concentrated in Hulao Pass, automatically neglecting the dangerous pass.

"Military advisor, how many defenders are there in Zhuyuan Pass, who is in charge?" Huangfu Jian did not have too many expressions, but just asked Yan Zhong.

"Your Majesty, there is now a thousand troops in the Yuanyuan, and there is only one small school guard!" Yan Zhong replied in shame.

As the commander-in-chief of the Luoyang War Zone, Yan Zhong did not expect that this had committed the crime of dereliction of duty. Fortunately, Guo Jia reminded him that he had not made a big mistake yet, otherwise if Luoyang fell, he would be unable to give up on his death.

"Transfer my order to quickly dispatch Zhang Zu, deputy general of Longxiao Camp, to be the commander of the garrison of the garrison Pass, and led three thousand elite troops of the Longxiang Camp to reinforce the garrison Pass overnight." Huangfu Jian did not accuse Yan Zhong too much. After a little thought, he directly issued an order to repair the sheep.

"No! I am not very careful in thinking, so I would like to punish you!" Yan Zhong knelt on his knees and apologized to Huangfu Jian.

"Military advisor, please! My dear shoulders the heavy responsibility of the entire Central Plains war zone. He is under great pressure. It is normal to be indifferent and not guilty. There is no need to blame himself too much." Huangfu Jian smiled slightly and helped the old man who had been following him for many years up with him.

"Thank you for your kindness!" Yan Zhong thanked. He was even more grateful. The emperor's kindness was so great!

"As soon as the sky is dawn, I will go to Hulao Pass, and two beloved ministers will have to work hard in the rear." Huangfu Jian said to Yan Zhong and Zhou Yi again.

"I will do my best to live up to the great trust of the emperor!" Yan Zhong and Zhou Yi knelt down and received the order.

"After I leave, my two beloved ministers will pass my order. I will recruit 30,000 military farming soldiers from Luoyang and 30,000 military farming soldiers from Wancheng. The military farming soldiers from Luoyang will be on standby directly at Hulao Pass, and the military farming soldiers from Wancheng will gather in Yingchuan and return to the tent of General Taishi." Huangfu Jian ordered again.

"As for your order!" the two of them replied loudly.

In the same starry sky, at the same time, the lights in the Cao army camp were brightly lit, illuminating like daylight.

Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou, Liu Bei, the governor of Pingyuan, these princes, who were large or small in the Central Plains, were now like grasshoppers tied to a rope, gathering in Cao Cao's tent, urgently discussing military affairs.

Reality made a huge joke with Cao Cao.

Thinking back to the beginning, under Cao Cao's alliance, the coalition forces of the princes colluded internally and externally, and the five armies and millions of troops made an appointment to attack Wu. How motivated Cao Cao and others were? A million troops! When Cao Cao and others wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of establishing the Dawu Kingdom and neglecting the precautions, millions of troops came out in full swing. With a thunderstorm, they could defeat Dawu Kingdom in one fell swoop and achieve hegemony.

But I never thought that reality was so cruel! Just a month later, the sky had turned over and the earth had turned over. Not only did the millions of the five coalition forces not only made no progress in attacking the martial arts, but they also crashed into the net of heaven and earth set by Huangfu Jian, the new emperor of the Dawu Kingdom. Cao Cao and other heroes even lost their nest on which they depended for survival.

For them who have information blocked, they still don’t know that the Daxianbei they have attracted to as foreign aid have completely perished. If they know, they don’t know if they still have the courage to continue fighting.

"Everyone, after our army's fierce attack over the past few days, the Luoyang bandits have been successfully transferred to Hulao Pass. Now is the time for us to implement the plan to raid the raid on the turf." The black-faced Cao Cao sat in the head. No one knew what he thought in his heart. On the surface, he still looked excited, giving people a feeling of holding the overall situation.

"Everyone understands the situation of our army in front of us. Huangfu Jian, a traitor, seized the three states of Yan, Xu and Qing when our army was fully out and the internal emptiness was empty. We no longer had a foundation. There was only one way in front of us, seize Luoyang, and then use Luoyang as the base to fight with the martial thieves to the end."

"Contact Yuan Shao in Jizhou again, the Xianbei people on the grassland, unite and have a glimmer of life, otherwise there will be only a dead end to everyone. Therefore, this night attack on Ziyuan Pass is crucial and cannot be missed!"

Cao Cao said slowly, his small eyes narrowed into a line, and the light shone in the light, scanning the people in the tent from time to time.

Zhuyuan Pass is only more than ten miles away from the Cao Cao's alliance camp. Although it was night and the mountain roads were rugged, it was only an hour. Moreover, Cao *** and others had already discovered the situation of the defenders in Guanzhong, so in their minds, it was not difficult to attack Zhuyuan Pass at night.

Everyone in the tent was not as confident as Cao Cao. Each of them had his faces tense, some regrets, some were afraid of death...

"The leader of this alliance sent three thousand elite soldiers. Which general is willing to take down the 萬司 Pass?" Cao Cao asked in a deep voice after a round of speeches.

When the heroes attacked Dong, Cao Cao served as a foil because of Huangfu Jian's existence. This time he finally got what he wanted and became the leader of this allied army. Whether it is strength or strategy, among these people, only Cao Cao could take on this great task.

Silence! Everyone is silent. One is that this battle is of great importance, and people who do not have three-point ability dare not accept the order. The other is that this battle is dangerous. Everyone knows that the battle is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although it is a sneak attack, no one knows whether they will be killed or not.
