Chapter 116 The Analysis

It is necessary to become famous as soon as possible, especially during the Eastern Han Dynasty when the communication was worse than that in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties.Sun Jian said that the method of exaggerating and killing the enemy to achieve a wave of hype is very common even in modern times, not to mention ancient times.

Unfortunately for Sun Jian, Hua Xiong hadn't been "raised up" yet, so he knew that he had defeated Huang Gai.But he didn't know the specific strength, and Huang Gai was originally an unknown person, so naturally he couldn't let people really feel Hua Xiong's strength.

Not to mention that he was killed by Cen Xi, not to mention the process, but Cen Xi earned a wave of reputation.In the future, if it is publicized, others will know: this is Cen Haichuan who beheaded Hua Xiong in Sishui Pass!

It's just that Yuan Shu and Han Fu are really willing to sacrifice two generals in order to "praise" Hua Xiong?In fact, Shi Hui is more suspicious. This is more like Yuan Shao deliberately using Hua Xiong's hand to consume the strength of the world's heroes!

Perhaps because of different perspectives, Sun Jian sees the present and thinks of the future in three or four years.But Shi Hui is viewed from the perspective of the entire end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the period from the Three Kingdoms period.Depending on the perspective of the problem, the conclusions will naturally be different.

As Sun Jian expected, two days later, the princes arrived at Sishui Pass one after another.Sun Jian was also not polite, and handed over four thousand captives directly, all at the mercy of the leader Yuan Shao.Knowing that it was Yuan Shao's arrival, many officers from the Fifth School of the Northern Army came to make connections one after another, and some people found Cao Cao to make connections.

In the end, 2000 people were released, and the other [-] people who had nothing to worry about were divided up by the princes and brought under their command.It's not stupid. In the next war, some soldiers may need to be sacrificed. It is also good to have more people.

"It seems that there is no one under Dong Zhuo's command, and he sent such an incompetent person to guard Sishui!" That night Yuan Shao sent someone to convene everyone to discuss the matter. Yuan Shu spoke first, with a disdainful expression.

In his opinion, it is not very clever to let people sent by Shihui sneak into the pass and dismantle the guards of the pass from the inside.

This is also what makes Sun Jian most depressed. He knows very well that things may develop in this direction.After what Yuan Shao said, Hua Xiong gave people the impression that he was an 'incompetent' person.Then defeating an incompetent defender is not a real skill.

"Yeah, I didn't expect such a credit to be picked up by Taishou Sun and I!" Shi Hui was also very upset. Cen Xi killed Hua Xiong in Sishui Town, and it's fine if he didn't reach the height of killing Hua Xiong with warm wine. When Yuan Shu said that, it was like beheading a cat or a dog casually, so it would be strange if he felt happy.

"Haha, luck, luck!" Sun Jian also probably knew what Shi Hui was thinking, but he was on his side.

Yuan Shu heard the words, but his face was cloudy and uncertain.Shi Hui instigated Yuan Shu to become a pioneer when he first chose to be a pioneer, but the latter was 'counseled' directly.Now Sishuiguan is easy to break through, there is nothing more embarrassing than this.

"Okay!" Seeing that Yuan Shu was about to explode, Yuan Shao stepped forward and stopped, "Prefect Sun and the generals captured Sishui, which frustrated Dong Bandit's momentum, and made great contributions to us in defeating Dong Bandit! However, Sishui will be closed to the end. It's just a temporary pass, and it doesn't mean much after it's broken down. The real obstacle is Hulao Pass, which is twenty miles to the west!"

Having said that, Yuan Shao stood up and solemnly announced: "If we want to go to Luoyang, Hulao Pass is the biggest obstacle in front of us. Unlike Sishui Pass, Dong Zhuo will definitely arrange heavy guards to guard it, and it will not be easy to take it down. It is meaningless to rely solely on one person's troops, when the whole army is mobilized, threaten Hulao Pass!"

This move was brilliant, and the Battle of Sishuiguan was simply defined as a war of 'little significance'.Furthermore, the importance of Hulao Pass is used to attract everyone's attention. When the whole army is dispatched, it will naturally avoid the possibility of someone making another miracle.

The next day, the entire army of the princes was dispatched, and the momentum was really amazing.At this moment, Fan Chou, the guard of Hulao Gate, has received the news that Sishui Pass has been breached and Hua Xiong's life is estimated to be at risk. Can't help but panic in my heart.

"Quick, go back and report to Xiangguo immediately!" Seeing the momentum of the princes, Fan Chou knew that relying on him alone would not be able to resist.It is necessary to send more people to come and guard together.

That afternoon, the soldiers sent back by Fan Chou reported the situation at Hulao Pass.

"Yuanqing, I value your strategy, so I sent you and Hua Xiong to guard Sishui Pass. Now that Sishui Pass has fallen, but you survived, what can you say?" Dong Zhuo just received the news that Sishui Pass fell and Hua Xiong died in battle After receiving the urgent report from Fan Chou, his anger immediately turned towards Wu Yuanqing, the civil official who also guarded Sishui Pass.

"Xiangguo, there are no ordinary people in the entire Sishuiguan. They are all our soldiers and civilian husbands. Many soldiers are from the fifth school of the Northern Army, and they are not trusted by Xiangguo... As for those civilian husbands... the subordinates don't know either. , How did the enemy mix in 500 people, equip them with weapons and armor, and launch a surprise attack inside..." Wu Yuanqing was neither humble nor overbearing, but if you look carefully, his legs are actually trembling a little.

Dong Zhuo is notoriously violent, and no one can guarantee whether he will kill himself to vent his anger when he is unhappy.

"Xiangguo, there is indeed something strange about this matter!" Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo's anger that had not yet calmed down, and knew that if he continued, maybe he would really kill Wu Yuanqing in order to vent his anger, so he immediately came forward, "General Hua is very good at governing the army!" Strictly speaking, the soldiers of the Fifth Northern Army School couldn’t stir under his command. As for the recruited civilians, Yuan Kui came forward to recruit them... It’s just that these soldiers and civilians are different, how could General Hua not be able to tell the difference.”

"Then the 500 enemy troops who attacked from within, did they still fall from the sky?" Dong Zhuo asked directly.

"This is the most strange thing! Even my son-in-law doesn't know where they came from! Master Wu, where did those soldiers first appear?" Li Ru turned around and asked.

"In the southwest corner, that's where our army's supplies and supplies are stored!" Wu Yuanqing replied. It was also the closest to the rear. Generally speaking, it was impossible for the princes from the Kanto region to get in touch with it.

"It's obvious that something went wrong with the civilian husband. At least we can be sure that the enemy should have sneaked into Sishui Pass from the rear of our army. Only in this way can they be unnoticed!" Li Ru analyzed slowly.

"Yuan Kai! That's right, that's right, it must be him! Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are both in the team of the alliance, one is the elected leader, the other is responsible for supervising the military rations, and Yuan Wei provides convenience in the rear, and that's the only way to go! Damn it! Yuan Kai, do you really think that the fourth and third Yuan Clan can do whatever they want with a high reputation?" Dong Zhuo immediately roared.

Ordinarily this is the most reasonable statement, but Li Ru still feels that something is wrong.Even if Yuan Kai was dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, it was impossible for him to do such a thing at such a juncture. Isn't this a way to kill him?However, he couldn't find any reason to explain why 500 enemy troops would suddenly appear in Sishui Pass.

"Now that the coalition forces from Huimeng have arrived at Hulao Pass, how should I deal with it?" Dong Zhuo didn't know, but Yuan Kai had always been a thorn in his side, so he happened to have an excuse to kill him.But right now, he is more concerned about the battle situation at Hulao Pass.

The Hulao Pass was breached, and they fought all the way to Luoyang City. It can be said that it was unimpeded, so he couldn't help but be careless.

"Father!" Lu Bu, who was standing on the sidelines, suddenly said, "Let the child guard Hulao Pass!"
