Three Kingdoms: Jiehu becomes stronger from the beginning of Taoyuan's three knots

Chapter 173 The Intriguing Alliance

Lu Bu was beaten in a chaotic battle by Pan Feng, Fang Yue, Guan Hai, and Mu Shun, and he was so angry that his Qiqiao started to smoke.

But the princes from all walks of life don't care about these, they are very happy as long as they see Lu Bu deflated.

This guy, let him be arrogant again!
Now let's see how you are still pissed off!

Lu Bu fought with Mu Shun for more than 20 rounds, and after spotting a flaw in him, he immediately started to deal crazy damage.

Then, taking advantage of Mu Shun's beating, Lu Bu reined in his horse and ran away.

Mu Shun was really confused!
"This... why did you run away?"

Mu Shun felt very depressed, but even more depressed than him was Wu Anguo who was already warming up to play.

"Run away! How could you let him run away!"

"General Mu, catch him quickly!"

Wu Anguo shouted, then spurred his horse forward.

Only then did Mu Shun come to his senses, and hurriedly urged him to go after Lu Bu immediately.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao was pleasantly surprised, then pulled out the sword from his waist and let out a loud roar.

"The whole army is pressing! Take down the tiger prison!"

The coalition soldiers were all excited when they heard the order, so the coalition launched an attack on Hulao Pass for the second time.

This time Liu Ce's army was on the front line, and the others followed closely behind Liu Ce and others.

The troops of Cao Cao and Sun Jian, who were originally vanguards, fell to the end this time.

This is something that can't be helped, who made them lose too much in the previous battle!
But this Hulao Pass deserves to be called the No. [-] Pass of the Han Dynasty.

With the coalition's morale and fighting spirit high, with the cooperation of Liu Ce's elite soldiers, and with the rare concerted efforts of all the princes, it still stood firm and was difficult to cross.

The battle lasted for two full days and two nights, and ended in a disastrous end with both sides suffering losses.

It is said that things must be reversed when they are extremely extreme, and this saying can only be applied to these princes.

With high morale and full cooperation, the princes from all walks of life still failed to win Hulao Pass.

Therefore, each of them began to become dejected, and the morale of their troops was even worse.

Among the princes of the Nineteenth Route, only Liu Ce's army still maintains the fighting spirit willing to fight.

The other princes of the eighteen miles have even begun to discuss the matter of withdrawing their troops.

Liu Ce did not deliberately do anything after knowing the news, because the development of the matter was all within his expectation.

The situation in Hulao Pass was just the opposite. Dong Zhuo personally led [-] soldiers to Hulao Pass.

Dong Zhuo also brought a lot of money and food, so that all the soldiers guarding the pass had money and meat to eat.

I have to say that Dong Zhuo did a very good job of controlling the hearts of the soldiers.

Therefore, after three days of rest, the defenders of Hulao Gate began to prepare for the counterattack.

In order to show off in front of Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu immediately led his troops to call for formation in front of the coalition formation again.

But this time he called for a whole day and no one came out to fight, which made Lu Bu feel very disappointed.

That night, the coalition forces were discussing matters.

All the princes present, except Liu Ce, were listless.

It was as if their great cause of challenging Dong had been declared over in advance.

Cao Cao saw that everyone's morale was low, so he stood up and said.

"There is no need to be so discouraged!"

"Since we can't fight head-on, then use tricks!"

"I have a plan, and I will definitely defeat Lu Bu!"

Cao Cao's words were impassioned, but none of the princes present were willing to talk to him.

Tao Qian even began to taunt with a humble mouth.

"Cao Mengde, it seems that the loss you suffered last time hasn't given you a long memory!"

"You only have two thousand soldiers and horses left, right? Do you have to fight them all before you stop?"

As soon as Tao Qian opened his mouth, the other princes immediately started whispering.

Cao Cao is not the one who likes to suffer, so he immediately began to refute.

"If you were willing to do your best to help last time, Hulao Pass is already in our pocket at this moment!"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was instantly dissatisfied.

Some said that Cao Cao was arrogant and rude, some said that Cao Cao was arrogant, and some said that Cao Cao was overbearing. In short, everyone began to be dissatisfied with Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao saw that Cao Cao was outraged, so he hurriedly made a sound to smooth things over.

"My lords, please be patient for a moment. Can you listen to me?"

Yuan Shao is the leader elected by everyone, so everyone is still willing to listen to his words.

Soon, the big tent became quiet, and everyone was waiting for Yuan Shao's next words.

But at this moment, he turned his head and turned to Liu Ce's direction.

"General Liu, the war has been fought until now, I dare to ask, do you have a way to control the enemy?"

Yuan Shao was quite honest, and he blatantly threw the hot potato to Liu Ce.

Liu Ce was not angry when he heard what he said, but just smiled at Yuan Shao and said.

"My solution is, everyone listen to Cao Mengde's arrangement!"

After hearing this, Yuan Shao was stunned, and everyone else also had dumbfounded expressions.

Listen to Cao Cao?

Isn't Liu Ce and Cao Cao not dealing with each other?

Why did Liu Ce suddenly speak for Cao Cao?

When did these two people become a team?
Question marks filled everyone's minds, and even Cao Cao couldn't figure out why Liu Ce wanted to help him.

But Cao Cao would not let go of such a good opportunity.

So, he immediately clasped his fists at the adults and said.

"I also ask for your help, this plan will definitely defeat Lu Bu and win the Hulao Pass!"

When everyone heard the words, no one spoke, and everyone turned their attention to Yuan Shao again.

At this time, Yuan Shu slowly spoke.

"Brother, I think you can try..."

Yuan Shu tried to control the rhythm of the meeting, and he felt that it was time to refresh his sense of presence.

In other words, now is the time for him to weaken Yuan Shao's influence in front of the heroes of the world.

After Yuan Shao heard Yuan Shu's words, his brows immediately frowned.

His younger brother has always been reticent when it comes to begging Dong.

Why did you suddenly start to stand up and make up for yourself today?

Could it be that this kid has the idea of ​​replacing him?

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Shu's expression and couldn't help but become cold.

"I don't think it's right. Mengde is somewhat anxious for revenge at this time."

"So, I think it's better to be cautious."

"After all, we can no longer afford to lose..."

After Yuan Shao's voice fell to the ground, Cao Cao's entire face darkened.

Yuan Shao is misleading the army, the country, and me!

From this moment, the boat of friendship between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao completely capsized.

So, Cao Cao cupped his fists and said coldly to Yuan Shao.

"General Yuan, according to your words, how should our coalition forces deal with Lu Bu now?"

After hearing this, Yuan Shao still turned to look at Liu Ce with a smile.

"If you want to defeat Lu Bu, you still need to rely on General Liu!"

"The only ones who can fight against Lu Bu are the generals under General Liu's command."

After saying this, Yuan Shao deliberately winked at Tao Qian, Kong Rong and others.

So, except for Gongsun Zan, everyone else began to flatter Liu Ce frantically.

But Liu Ce didn't listen to the words of these people at all.

Liu Ce understood very well that Yuan Shao just wanted to use himself as a spearman.

He wanted to fight with Lu Bu to lose both, so that he and the princes could gain more benefits afterwards.

"General Yuan, Alliance Leader Yuan!"

"Since you and I have different plans, then we can only have different opinions and plan!"
