The arrival of Wei Min and others made Wei Cheng realize a fact.

When a family is powerful enough to shake the destiny of the country, no one will stay dormant willingly.

Especially the fact that Wei Hao, the head of the family and his father, was not present showed everything.

It is still just a trial stage between the clan elders and Wei Cheng. If Wei Cheng does not agree, they will not force Wei Cheng.

Looking at it this way, the respect and tolerance that the Wei family gave to Wei Cheng is unimaginable.

You must know that Wei Cheng is also a member of the Wei family. Logically speaking, as the head of the family, Wei Hao can directly influence the development direction of the family.

But Wei Hao didn't come, which meant that the clan elders still respected Wei Cheng, leaving enough room for maneuver for both parties.

This also made Wei Cheng very happy. The elders of the Wei clan were not crazy yet.

Indeed, with the current strength of the Wei family, it would be easy to take over the Han Dynasty. Even if they could not take down the entire Han Dynasty, they would still have no problem occupying the north of the Yangtze River and having a territory like that of 'Cao Wei' in later generations.

But Wei Cheng didn't want to do this because he didn't want to be the second [Qin].

What was the main reason for the death of Qin II?

The lessons from the past are still in front of him, and Wei Cheng believes that people like the Wei family are not so short-sighted.

Why Wei Cheng drafted the first five-year plan and the second five-year plan was to lay a solid foundation.

However, Wei Cheng did not think that the clan elders were still unable to sit still. All this was due to Yuan Shao and the others being too aggressive, which made people want to take a share of the pie.

Without too much nonsense, Wei Cheng is still determined to follow his five-year plan.

Wei Min and others looked at each other in confusion. Although they felt that the opportunity was rare, they still respected Wei Cheng's wishes and did not become red-faced.

"But now that the coalition forces fighting against Dong have reached Hulao Pass, if they capture Luoyang, then..." Wei Zhuo said with a frown.

Wei Cheng picked up the teapot and poured tea for several uncles. Hearing this, he just smiled and replied: "Fifth uncle, you are worrying too much. Just because they can't take Hulao Pass, don't forget that Dong Zhuo has more than just There are 150,000 Xiliang troops and 100,000 Imperial Guards."

"Besides, I have already implemented a little plan. Don't talk about attacking the Dong Alliance now. I guess they want to attack more than just Dong Zhuo. Just wait and see. In a few days, there will be new news. I'm sure. Hulao Pass cannot be broken within three months."

Historically, with the participation of Sun Jian and Cao Cao, the alliance against Dong could not break Hulao Pass and was beaten to the point of panic by Lu Fengxian. Now that Sun Jian is restrained in Jingzhou and Cao Cao is plotted by himself again, I don't believe that they are more united.

Of course, Wei Cheng didn't say anything explicitly, he just made an analysis from the perspective of a bystander.

Wei Min and others looked at each other and nodded thoughtfully.

Wei Min then said: "By the way, General Xu has been delayed in Bingzhou for several days. Isn't it time to recruit them back?"

Wei Cheng's expression changed.

Xu Huang led his troops to annihilate Wumoxie Chanyu, the Southern Huns. He did not want to be led by the other party and fought for more than ten days. After counting the time, it was time to let them come back.

It wasn't that Wu Moye Shanyu was ignored, but Wei Cheng believed that even if Xu Huang was fooled at first, with the help of drones, he should be able to catch up with him and kill him soon.

In addition, after being delayed for so many days, based on Wei Cheng's understanding of Xu Huang, he must have gone to the Northern Huns to vent his anger.

Wei Cheng didn't bother to care about them, so he just regarded them as training soldiers.

Now that Wei Min mentioned it, Wei Cheng couldn't help but asked curiously: "So, it seems that Zhang Fei didn't move at all?"

···

"Drive, drive..."

To the west of Hedong County, on an official road running southward along the Fenhe River.

Zhang Fei led five hundred Longshan troops to pass through the house without entering. Each of the sergeants looked firmly at the ferry not far away.

Xun was sitting on the shaft of the car and looked at Zhang Fei who was driving with some worry.

"Yide, this matter should be reported to the Young Master."

Zhang Fei said angrily: "No, the young master wants me to bring back Hua Xiong's head. Now that I have nothing, how can I go back?"

It turned out that when Zhang Fei and Xun You rushed to the north of Xiliang, they discovered that Hua Xiong had led his troops south to reinforce Hulao Pass.

As a well-known strong general under Dong Zhuo, Hua Xiong's reputation is not lower than that of Lu Bu at all, and is even better in Xiliang.

When the alliance to fight against Dong was assembled, Dong Zhuo had already dispatched him hastily, which happened to save his life.

Zhang Fei and his party rushed to nothing, how could they feel happy when they learned that Hua Xiong had gone to Hulao Pass, and five hundred Longshan troops attacked overnight, vowing not to return to Anyi unless they brought back Hua Xiong's head.

Xun You also tried to persuade him again and again, but unfortunately Zhang Fei was stubborn, so it was Wei Cheng's order to prevaricate him.

For Zhang Fei and others, Wei Cheng's orders are above all else.

In any case, no matter how far Hua Xiong fled to the ends of the earth, they still had to find him alive, cut off his head, and send him back to Anyi for restoration.

Xun You's face was terrifyingly gloomy. It was not that he wanted to disobey Wei Cheng's order, but that he was worried that Zhang Fei would do something bad.

After thinking about it, he called Hao Zhao.

If anyone is calmer now, it's probably Hao Zhao, who is new to the world.

While Zhang Fei and others were looking for a boat to cross the river, Xun or asked Hao Zhao to rush back to Anyi with a message.

Judging from Wei Cheng's five-year plan, Wei Cheng does not want to participate in the struggle between Yuan Shao and others and Dong Zhuo, or in other words, he does not want to participate in it at this stage, and everything must be done to strengthen himself.

Xun was also worried that Zhang Fei's trip would cause unnecessary misunderstandings between the two parties, so he hurriedly asked Hao Zhao to go back and deliver the letter.

I have to say that it was a wise decision for Wei Cheng to let Xun or follow Zhang Fei.

Compared with Liu Bei or Guan Yu, Zhang Fei is still too young at this stage and is prone to impulsiveness and mistakes.

If he really couldn't persuade him, Xun probably wouldn't have made such a move.

After crossing the Yellow River, the group went straight to Hulao Pass.

No matter how worried Xun Huo was, he would follow Zhang Fei all the way to prevent Zhang Fei from doing anything bad.

···

at the same time.

There is another scene here at Hulao Pass.

When two armies confront each other, they will definitely test each other.

What is unexpected is that the powerful alliance to protest against Dong has suffered setbacks one after another in recent days.

"It's so abominable. This Hua Xiong is so inhumane? How dare he make such a noise before our army has even stepped forward to call for battle?"

"Prefect Zhang, do you have any good generals under your command?"

"Ah, this..."

Yuan Shao frowned, looked at Zhang Miao, and yelled angrily: "Why, how long do you want to keep a low profile and bide your time? That thief has already clamored to the door!"

Zhang Miao and others looked at each other. It wasn't that they didn't want to contribute, but that Hua Xiong was really too strong. He killed more than a dozen of his own generals by himself. How could they fight?

You know, there is Lu Bu on Dong Zhuo's side who has not appeared. I had known that Dong Zhuo had many elite soldiers and strong generals, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful. No wonder Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others were driven out of Luoyang one by one...

Of course, they just cursed this in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it out loud.

Yuan Shao saw everyone hesitating and said angrily: "Damn Cao Mengde, if he hadn't organized my men and Gao Lan and borrowed them, why would Hua Xiong be so arrogant?"

Well, when Yan Liang Wen Chou joined Wei's Longshan Army, the only generals Yuan Shao could use were Zhang He and Gao Lan. Both of them were strong men. Gao Lan could even fight Xu Huang and Xu Chu in a back-and-forth manner.

It's a pity that these two men were borrowed by Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao now doesn't have any capable generals.

I could only watch Hua Xiong in front of the formation, using several heads as balls to kick, and slap them in the face.

As night fell, Dong Dong Alliance was in mourning.

Yuan Shao summoned Yuan Shu, Han Fu, Bao Xin, Wang Kuang and others overnight to discuss how to fight back tomorrow.

It is true that they don't want to watch Boss Cao reap the benefits, but it is not the same thing to be slapped in the face like this.

After deliberating all night, everyone took a step back and settled the immediate trouble first. As for Cao Cao, he will be the one to look good when the time comes.

Early in the morning.

Hao Zhao caught up with Zhang Fei and his party who were resting by the river beach and brought Wei Cheng's reply.

[Go and return quickly]

These four simple words can be regarded as an indulgence for Zhang Fei and a reassurance for Xun You.

Zhang Fei laughed and said: "Look, look, I said that the young master would not blame me. Sir, he was still too careful. He just killed someone. In fact, you don't have to follow me."

Xun You had no choice but to deal with this bully. Looking at Wei Cheng's reply, he fell into deep thought.

In just four words, Wei Teng expressed his extreme trust in Zhang Fei, and at the same time his disdain for Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo and others.

Xun Hue rarely truly admired someone, but now his admiration for Wei Cheng couldn't help but become even deeper.

With Wei Cheng's endorsement, Zhang Fei couldn't wait for everyone to set off immediately. Didn't you see that the young master said - leave as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible.

···

All~

Outside Hulao Pass, Yuan Shao personally took command.

Han Fu, Yuan Shu, Bao Xin, Zhang Miao and others followed in succession.

Just under their noses, the heavy gate of Hulao Pass slowly opened, and trumpets were blasting from the city gate tower.
