I win the lottery in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 155

Chapter 155

Marching in the dark is dangerous for any untrained army, especially now.

In order to achieve the purpose of the surprise attack, after Lu Bu led the army into the range of Sizhou, he adopted the method of marching out at night and lying down during the day.

As far as the armies of the various princes are concerned, even the specially trained Xiliang army dare not march at night for a long time.

Therefore, it is inevitable that the soldiers complained about Lu Bu's journey.

However, due to Lu Bu's majesty, no one dared to say anything more, and it was precisely because of this that the groundwork was laid for the collapse of the army in the later period.

Entering the territory of Luoyang, Lu Bu dispersed many scouts.

Ever since he came into contact with Meng Chen, Lu Bu has learned the habit of dispatching multiple scouts before marching or fighting.

"My lord, the people in Luoyang don't have enough to eat. Compared with Bingzhou..."

It was Zhang Liao who spoke, who had just returned with a team of scouts.

In order to achieve the purpose of the surprise attack, Lu Bu did not carry much food and grass this time.

Therefore, after entering Luoyang, Lu Bu's first command was to collect grain and grass.

It's a pity that the situation in Luoyang is much worse than expected.

It's an exaggeration to say that there is no man's land, but basically all the people who were able to leave entered Hangu Pass westward, and what remained were some poor people who were unable to walk or who really didn't want to leave their homeland.

Not only did Zhang Liao return empty-handed, but the rest of the scouting teams did the same.

The people's homes are empty, and occasionally there is a little food in storage, which is not enough for the daily consumption of a seven thousand army.

Lu Bu frowned and said nothing. Fortunately, the army's dry food can last for a few days, otherwise the army must be withdrawn!

"Send the order, the army speeds up." Lu Bu ordered in a deep voice.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the strategy of supporting war with war, the mistake lies in the choice of marching route.

Now that the plan is halfway through, Lu Bu is naturally unwilling to return at this point.

Hulao Pass was very familiar to Lu Bu. Although Cao Jun was guarding here, the Bingzhou Army who suddenly appeared caught Cao Jun by surprise.

From the beginning of the battle to the end of the battle, the door of Hulao Pass has not had time to close.

Looking at the trembling soldiers of Cao Jun in front of him, the corners of Lu Bu's mouth rose slightly, and he thought, "Cao Jun is nothing more than that!"

In order to ensure that his whereabouts were not exposed, the captured Cao soldiers were killed by Lu Bu.

At the same time, the supplies obtained by capturing Hulao Pass were enough for Lu Bu to complete this raid.

"Song Xian, you lead a thousand elites to stay here, and there must be no loss at Hulao Pass."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will wake up eventually."

When Lu Bu led the army to leave Hulao Pass, Meng Chen got the news and decided to send troops.

In Xudu City, the recent atmosphere is unusually strange, the people on the road are in a hurry, and even the busiest wine shop on weekdays is also deserted.

News from Guandu came back from time to time, regardless of the outcome, it has become the focus of most attention of the people.

In the palace, just as Liu Xie finished his dinner, Wang Yue's figure appeared.

At the same time, there was another person beside Wang Yue. Liu Xie looked at him, and an old man with kind eyebrows, fair skin, and regular facial features came into Liu Xie's eyes.

At first glance, Liu Xie felt that this man was kind-hearted and very comfortable.

After speaking, the male duck's voice sounded equally comfortable.

"Your Majesty, this is Wei Zhongxian. He used to be a eunuch in the palace of the late emperor. Hearing that His Majesty has no one to take care of him, he volunteered to come here."

Wang Yue opened his mouth to explain, although it was very reluctant, but it was enough for Liu Xie.

"Have you served the late emperor? Why don't I have any impression?" Liu Xie asked tentatively.

"When His Majesty was a child, the old servant was kicked out of the palace because of his poor health. The old slave vaguely remembered that His Majesty had a red mole on his ass." Wei Zhongxian calmly revealed Liu Xie's privacy.

Hearing this, Liu Xie looked a bit ugly, but what Wei Zhongxian said was right, and not many people knew that they had red moles on their buttocks.

From this point of view, there is no doubt about Wei Zhongxian's identity!
Liu Xie looked at Wang Yue again, his eyes full of inquiry.

But Wang Yue nodded along with the situation, indicating that the ins and outs of this person had been investigated secretly.

"That being the case, stay by my side in the future."

Wei Zhongxian who heard the words hastily thanked him, and then quickly threw himself into his work.

After a busy meal, he found that Liu Xie had already opened his mouth and looked at him blankly.

"Your Majesty?" Wei Zhongxian reminded in a low voice.

"Ah, it's no loss that someone who served the late emperor is much better than the eunuchs and maids in the palace today." Liu Xie hastily praised, hiding his embarrassment.

It has to be said that Wei Zhongxian, a senior eunuch, really has a way of serving people. In less than half an hour, Liu Xie was full of praise for this newcomer to the palace.

Liu Xie didn't know when Wang Yue left, but Wang Yue contributed a lot to Wei Zhongxian's smooth entry into the palace.

Of course, there was some kind of cooperation between Wang Yue and Meng Chen, and it was not difficult for Wang Yue to arrange an eunuch.

The two sides at Guandu are still facing each other, while Lu Bu is racing against time to come towards Xudu.

Meng Chen had already led the army out of Hangu Pass, and his oriole was already ready to collect the net.

In Hulao Pass, since Lu Bu left, Song Xian has been singing and dancing all day long, completely forgetting Lu Bu's advice.

What must not be lost, there is no Cao Jun at all within a hundred miles of Hulao Pass.

In a dense forest not far from Hulao Pass, Guo Jia was listening to the reports from the scouts. Song Xian's performance was just as Guo Jia expected at that time.

"Mr. Guo, when will we do it?" Xiahou Dun asked in a low voice.

If it weren't for Cao Cao's repeated orders, Xiahou Dun wouldn't bother to pay attention to Guo Jia, a little drunk.

"General Xiahou, don't be in a hurry, wait a little longer." Guo Jia held the wine gourd and poured himself a drink. He was the only one in Cao's army who had such a privilege.

Although Xiahou Dun was upset when he heard the words, thinking about Cao Cao's words, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Two days later, on a dark and windy night, following Guo Jia's order, all five thousand Cao's troops marched out, and headed towards Hulao Pass in the dark.

In the mountains ten miles west of Luoyang, Meng Chen led an army and lurked here quietly.

Meng Chen already knew about the situation at Hulao Pass, so it was too early to act now.

"My lord, there is news from Anbu that everything is in order in Xudu." Li Cunxiao's voice came, and Meng Chen was pulled back from his thoughts.

"From now on, Xiliang will become the enemy of the world." Meng Chen shook his head helplessly.

"My lord, don't worry, some of the Kanto princes will not be taken seriously."

"Hahaha, brother Cunxiao said, so what if it's an alliance?"
