When those Xiliang soldiers threw the heads of Yuan Kai's Yuan clan members before the battle in order to intimidate the alliance army, they made a mistake.

On the spot, the Yuan brothers cried out in grief and vowed: "Don't kill Dong Zhuo! Swear not to be human!"

Whether they are sincere or not, under the eyes of the people of the world, this revenge of extermination of the clan must be avenged.

What's more, Cao Cao clearly understood that his childhood friend had become serious.

Then, what follows is the huge background of the Yuan family, the top family from four generations and three fathers!

Under such circumstances, Dong Zhuo really wanted to rely on this mere force of less than [-] troops to completely resist the hundreds of thousands of troops formed by the alliance army, that was undoubtedly a dream.

After all, the vassals of the Eighteenth Route Crusade gathered nearly half of the troops of the Han Dynasty, as well as famous talents who would rise up in the future.

There are [-] soldiers, [-] to [-] horses, and there are also civilian and military generals.

There are not only world-famous princes such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Sun Jian, and Tao Qian, but also Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xiahou Dun and other generals who served under them.

When these people gather in one place, the energy they can burst out cannot be underestimated!

After several previous wars, up to this point, the internal filth of the continuous coalition forces has finally been put on hold for the time being.

This is the so-called war output method, which diverts the attention of the princes through war. Now, the fighting power of the coalition army, which is united as one, will definitely go up to several levels!

Looking at the Hulao Pass, although there are [-] troops guarding it, but in the face of the fierce attack of hundreds of thousands of troops, the [-] Xiliang soldiers are actually the same.

Among other things, just because of the strong attack of Sanmen in the past few days, the total number of troops remaining at Hulao Pass at this time is estimated to be only a little over [-].

As a result, compared with the hundreds of thousands of allied troops, the number of soldiers in Hulao Pass is too small to deal with it from three sides.

It must be known that a city is not necessarily easy to defend. The wider it is, the more soldiers are required. If it is not enough, it will be more difficult for people to defend than those small cities of one or two miles away.

In fact, if it weren't for the alliance army, they would need to attack Luoyang as soon as possible to rescue the emperor.

As the attacking side with the advantage in numbers, they actually only need to surround the city to ensure the continuous input of materials and energy, to eat and drink, to supply weapons, and to wait for work.

Another team of elite cavalry was sent to cut off the material supplies of the guarding Hulao Pass. The defenders' supplies in the city must have been depleted, and they would definitely have the upper hand in combat.

At the same time, in this way, the morale of the defenders can also be consumed, causing their fighting will to die and their combat effectiveness to decline.

After a certain time, they, as the attackers, throw fire into the city, cut off the water source, and block the news, which can also accelerate the disintegration of the defender's will to defend the city, and then launch actions to gain the tactical advantage.

It's just that because of time, they are not allowed to delay like this, so they finally gave up this approach.

After all, for them who revolted in the name of rescuing the emperor, the meaning of the emperor's extra day in Dong Zhuo's hands is completely different from that of an extra month, half a year or even longer.

It is true that some people would say that although the alliance army is strong, the Xiliang warriors under Dong Zhuo's command are not bad.

These Xiliang troops are all a group of arrogant soldiers. How could it be so simple to be intimidated by the alliance army?

No matter how bad it is, Dong Zhuo still has 10,000+ elites to send over to reinforce the defense!

In that way, wouldn't Hulao Pass be impossible to conquer?

In fact, Cao Cao has also considered this point. You know, they are in Luoyang, but they still have a group of veterans who are "loyal to the Han Dynasty".

Then he contacted Han Suimateng from Xiliang, and the two went out of Guanzhong, disturbing Dong Zhuo's lair behind.

Hehe, by that time, Dong Zhuo, who is besieged on all sides in Luoyang, will still be able to sit still?

...

Of course, these are only Cao Cao's personal speculations in the final analysis, and no one knows the specifics of the next changes in the situation.

The only thing to do is to do your best and obey the destiny!

Cao Cao knew in his heart that the one-on-one fight between Xiahou Dun and Zhang Liao not long ago was actually nothing more than a small victory in the final analysis. It did not damage Xiliang's strength, but only curbed Xiliang's arrogance and delayed it for a few days.

Therefore, he needs to say hello to the allies of the alliance first!

...

That night, Cao Cao called Wei Hong, Bao Xin and other generals under him to have a banquet in the tent.

After drinking for three rounds, Cao Cao picked up the topic and asked everyone what they thought about capturing Hulao Pass.

All the people who were eating and drinking happily looked at each other, no one had any idea, and suddenly there was no sound.

For a moment, everyone lost their interest and looked at each other silently, looking at the table full of good wine and food, it seemed like chewing wax.

Cao Cao watched coldly, knowing that at this time, it was his turn to take the lead.

"Since you don't say anything, and Cao is not talented, he has a good plan to break the tiger's prison!"

"what!"

Hearing these words suddenly, everyone present except Wei Hong and Xiahou Dun were shocked.

Bao Xin, who was eating and drinking, was even more astonished, he only swallowed his throat, but forgot to swallow, all the wine in his mouth suddenly spewed out.His throat was choked hot, and he coughed violently "cough cough cough cough".

"Meng De, you... you mean, the tiger prison can be broken?"

After finally recovering, he looked up, his face full of disbelief.

"There is a good strategy first, which is to send a strong general, with thousands of tigers and tigers, to go up the Yellow River upstream to raid Luoyang. Luoyang is lost, and the road behind Hulao Pass is cut off. His army must be in a panic. Take advantage of this good opportunity. If I break out suddenly, I will win a big victory!"

Cao Cao glanced at him and said with a half-smile.

"...Well, no, Mengde, this plan is too dangerous. Thousands of tigers and bees alone will go deep into the dangerous situation. If one is not good, it will be a disaster. It is very dangerous! No, absolutely not!" Bao Xin put down his cup and said with a frown. .

Hehe, I knew you would be like this a long time ago, so I ruled out this method a long time ago.

Cao Cao laughed to himself, shook his head, he lost interest, and stopped teasing Bao Xin.

Immediately without hesitation, he ordered: "Bring a pen and paper."

Since his entourage and civil servants found paper and pens, and the tents were simple, he simply used the dining table and chopping board as a few, and splashed ink on it.

After the ink is dry, put the letterhead into a special letter box for delivering urgent messages, and seal it with lacquer wax.

Cao Cao raised his head, and told several messengers and scouts in the army, "Hurry up and arrange fast horses to set off overnight. Be sure to deliver this letter to the leader of the east of the city as quickly as possible."

"Please deliver this letter to General Gongsun Zan in the south of the city!"

"This letter will be handed over to Master Yuan alone, and asked him to find a way to deliver it to Ma Teng in Xiliang."

"Go to the rear army and entrust Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi County, and Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, to send more scouts to patrol and investigate between their jurisdictions. If there is any news, report it immediately!"

Soon after finishing his explanation, Cao Cao waved his hand to make the scouts retreat.
