After the autumn harvest, it is another cold winter. Snow will fly in October in the north. By the twelfth lunar month, the thick snow has long become frozen snow, making it difficult for people and animals to move.

However, at this time, there was a man and a horse running rapidly on the snow. The man was surrounded by a cyclone, connecting with the war horse under his crotch, making the war horse very light, and when he ran, he almost stepped on the snow without any trace.

This person is Zhao Yun who has been in seclusion for a year, the youngest and most powerful person in the world.

Moreover, he has the defense of Xuanwu, the power of the white tiger, and the sense of the spirit snake. Even among the troops, he can clearly see all dangers. It is extremely difficult for anyone to leave scars on him, including Lu Bu.

At this time, his temperament was no longer as immature as in the previous two years, and his divine light became restrained. The silver spear in his hand was no longer just using the two sets of marksmanship, the plum blossom dim sum gun and the Hundred Birds Shouting Spear. Because, based on the shortcomings of these two sets of marksmanship, he created the Seven Disc Dragon Spear, and it was a Qijin version of the Seven Disc Dragon Spear, which was very powerful.

This is also the reason why he hurried down the mountain, because he was already more than 50% sure to defeat Lu Bu, so he wanted to follow Huo Hai to fight for Luoyang.

Before the Chinese New Year, Huo Hai was already in charge of troops in the Bingzhou Army camp in Hanoi County.

The agreed time of the alliance with Yuan Shao is the first month of next year, and the location is Sour Date. Although Huo Hai is relatively close, heavy snow blocks the road at this time, and he needs to set off one month in advance before he can arrive.

As for other princes, many of them set out a month ago, and the lineup is also very different from history.

The first route, the latter general, Nanyang prefect Yuan Shu, sent 30,000 troops and carried 100,000 stones of food and grass.

In the second line, Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, sent 20,000 troops and 50,000 stones of food and grass.

In the third line, the governor of Yuzhou, Kong Yichang, sent 10,000 troops and brought 30,000 stones of food and grass.

In the fourth line, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, sent 20,000 troops and brought 50,000 stones of food and grass.

On the fifth line, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, sent 10,000 troops and brought 30,000 stones of food and grass.

On the sixth route, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, sent 20,000 troops and brought 30,000 stones of food and grass.

On the seventh route, Shanyang Prefect Yuan Yi sent 20,000 troops and 50,000 stones of food and grass.

In the Eighth Route, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, sent 10,000 troops and brought 30,000 stones of food and grass.

In the ninth line, Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, sent 10,000 troops and brought 30,000 stones of food and grass.

On the tenth route, Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, sent 10,000 troops and carried 30,000 stones of food and grass.

On the 11th Route, Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian sent 20,000 troops and 50,000 stones of food and grass.

On the 12th Route, Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Beiping, sent 3,000 troops and carried 20,000 stones of food and grass.

On the 13th Route, Sun Jian, the prefect of Chang'an, Wucheng Hou, sent 10,000 troops and brought 20,000 stones of food and grass.

On the 14th Route, Ma Teng, the prefect of Xiliang, did not come, but just supported him.

On the fifteenth route, the prefect of Yong'an, Liu Bei, sent 5,000 troops and carried 20,000 stones of food and grass.

On the 16th Route, the captain of the cavalry, Cao Cao sent 20,000 troops and 30,000 stones of food and grass.

The remaining two routes are Huo Hai and the initiator Yuan Shao. Because Hanoi County and Shangdang County were all under Huo Hai's rule, Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang, who had originally been to challenge Dong, did not know where they went.

As for the three royal families, Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou, Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, and Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, they are the most boneless.

Because Dong Zhuo gave them the identity of a state governor and asked them to govern a state autonomously. After receiving the edict, they had no reason to come to challenge Dong.

When Huo Hai came to the sour jujube, he brought at least five thousand cavalry and ten thousand stones of food and grass. Yuan Shao was really shameless. He only brought two hundred cavalry and light cavalry and three thousand personal guard infantry. The food and grass were less than five thousand stones, and it was too late to arrive. He was dragged until the end before leaving. It seemed that he was the protagonist, and he would not be able to fight if he didn't come to this battle.

The seventeen princes who actually arrived were separated and lived in camps. They would only gather together to discuss when meetings were held.

In the first meeting, in addition to taking stock of the number of soldiers, horses, food and grass brought by all parties, it mainly involved the election of the leader of the alliance and the collection of food and grass.

Although each army brought more than 10,000 stones of food and grass, in fact, for tens of thousands of people, it is necessary to collect grain on the spot for tens of thousands of people to fight for a few days, especially in the Central Plains.

The princes of all walks of life, Yuan Shu and Huo Hai had the highest official positions. However, Yuan Shu had a bad reputation and no one could miss him. Huo Hai had a background in the Yellow Turban Army. All the princes had fought with the Yellow Turban Army, so they naturally didn't like him very much.

Therefore, Yuan Shao, the initiator, became the target of many people who recommended it to the leader of the alliance.

In the end, at the suggestion of a large number of people, Yuan Shao became the leader, and Yuan Shu and Huo Hai were the deputy leader.

Then, he unanimously defended the devil Yuan Shu by giving way to control the collection of food and grass, because this guy was not afraid of his reputation or the hatred of the people. Even some gentry were unwilling to offend him.

It would be perfect for him to collect food and grass.

As for Huo Hai, he took the initiative to undertake military spy and mobile support because his subordinates had the benefits of cavalry. Because he came to Luoyang, he originally wanted to connect another group of people back and let the cavalry go out to spread news everywhere, so that he could achieve this goal.

As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao was mainly responsible for military command after ascending to the altar to worship. The first order he issued was to attack Hulao Pass.

Hulao Pass was previously called Sishui Pass, which was one of the eight passes in Luoyang. The walls of the pass were seven or eight feet high and more than three feet thick. There were many towers on the pass, which were easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The seventeen princes had more than 200,000 troops from the front of the pass. Dong Zhuo sent only 50,000 defenders to defend the pass.

At this time, the general of Hulao Pass was Hua Xiong, and the Allies were appointed as the vanguard by everyone, the new powerful tiger Sun Jian, the tiger in Jiangdong.

Perhaps because Lu Bu is too strong, the generals are now more afraid of powerful people. After fighting Sun Jian for more than ten rounds in the first battle, Hua Xiong was unable to retreat.

Sun Jian challenged for many days, and was defeated by Hua Xiong with a bed crossbow and a catapult. Although he was a strong man, he might be injured under the powerful bow shot of the peak military generals of the internal strength. Under the collective shooting of the bed crossbow with extremely strong penetrating power, he might even die.

Because the strength is finally over, and the army uses equipment to fight, and the strikes can be continuous.

After many days of siege, Sun Jian was in trouble. He was jealous of Sun Jian's ability and wanted to take all his troops to take over Yuan Shu, but did not send any food and grass. As a result, Sun Jian's troops lost all morale. Hua Xiong, who had learned the news, led troops to attack at night. Sun Jian's entire army was defeated, and his subordinate general Zu Mao was defeated.

The princes all accused Sun Jian of being unfavorable in the first battle. As a strong man, he could not even get a Hulao Pass.

However, because Yuan Shu did not distribute food and grass, Sun Jian almost led his good brother Zu Mao to fight with Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shao came forward to persuade him to make peace and gave Sun Jian a lot of food and supplies as compensation. This matter was barely over, but it would be difficult to want him to fight later.

Such a thing happened at the beginning of the alliance, and the princes were unhappy. At night, Cao Cao wanted to talk to someone like Huo Hai who really understands military affairs, but he didn't expect that in front of Huo Hai's camp, Liu Bei, who also felt that the momentum was wrong and wanted to discuss with Huo Hai.

"Brother Xuande also saw something wrong?" After seeing the ceremony, Cao Cao asked Liu Bei.

"The Yuan brothers have ulterior motives and are called "Dong," but in fact they want to conquer the princes of the world and become independent. Brother Meng De can't see this section!" Liu Bei and Cao Cao only met several times, and their friendship was not deep, but they knew that Cao Cao was sincerely trying to dedicate him.

Because, before, he dared to assassinate Dong Zhuo with a knife alone.

So, at this time, Liu Bei did not hide it and directly told him what he was thinking.

"Then why did you come to Huo Bingzhou to discuss?" Cao Cao asked curiously again.

"I heard that Huo Bingzhou accepted the people during the disaster year, and distributed land and houses for the people, allocated food and grass to help them. He was very impressed. Therefore, he came to pay a visit and wanted to hear his opinions. Brother Meng De, are you the same?" After Liu Bei finished speaking, he asked.

"I used to be an official under Huo Bingzhou, but now I don't decide when I encounter any problems, so I naturally ask for advice from the former Shangguan." Cao Cao replied with a smile.

He didn't think Huo Haixing's benevolent act. In his opinion, Huo Hai had a bad ambition and ambition in the world, but he just used different means from others.

"Where are Meng De and Xuan De outside the camp? Since you are here, why not enter the camp and talk?" Huo Hai, who received the report from the guards, came to the outside of the barracks without any surprise and waved to the two of them from afar.

Upon hearing this, the two of them quickly stepped forward to see the reverie and came to his tent with Huo Hai.

"It seems that there are only two of the princes who want to defeat Dong Zhuo and save the Han Dynasty." As soon as he sat down, Huo Hai spoke.

"Dong Zhuo went to Beijing, arbitrarily abolished the imperial palace, and stayed overnight, which made the Han Dynasty dusty. As a relative of the Han Dynasty, he naturally had to stand up and attack the rebellious officials.

However, Yong'an has a small land of small people, and only five thousand infantry under his command, with few soldiers and few generals, making it difficult to achieve success. Therefore, I want to ask the governor of Huozhou to teach me." Liu Bei sighed.

"What do you Liu Xuande think so, but other royal families don't think so. Liu Yu, Liu Yan, Liu Biao, and Liu Yao, who is a royal family who sent troops to fight against Dong?

In their opinion, there is nothing wrong with having one more powerful minister in the court. They only care whether they have any princes to do." Huo Hai signaled the two to drink and said.

"Did the Huozhou Governor say that the people of the Han Dynasty have lost their hearts? I don't agree." Cao Cao said loudly after taking a sip of Bingzhou's spirits.

At least, he raised an army for the sake of the Han Dynasty.

"The Han people are indeed interested in the Han Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty has never been the final say of the people. The one who is above the people's hearts is the gentry, the representative of the gentry, and the princes. The princes are not in the Han Dynasty, so what can the two do?" Huo Hai spread his hands and said.

When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes showed contemplation.

Cao Cao said, "Raising troops to fight them one by one."

"Yes, lead the troops to defeat them one by one, but at that time, they said you were the next Dong Zhuo and said you were a traitor. Even the emperor may not be relieved of you, and even wanted to kill you quickly. Because, people in this world are selfish, and the emperor also hopes that power will only be in his own hands." Huo Hai smiled.

Upon hearing this, both of them were stunned and stopped talking.
