Chapter 227: Tackle key problems

As Huo Hai expected, Yuan Shao had a reason to order the princes to attack Hulao Pass the next day. Dong Zhuo destroyed the Yuan family in Luoyang City, including Yuan Kui, one of the three dukes, who was also beheaded.

Hundreds of people were hung on the head of Hulaoguan City, and Yuan Shao was so angry that he spurted out his old blood.

The princes all thought that Dong Zhuo was doing this too much. After Yuan Shao gave the order, he drove all the troops to the hem of Hulao Pass to open the formation and began to attack.

The war was fought from the afternoon to the evening before the sound of the gold was withdrawn. After counting, all parties found that in just one afternoon, the number of casualties in the Allied forces exceeded 10,000, while the number of casualties in Dong Zhuo's army was at most 1,000.

After dark, Yuan Shao summoned the princes to hold a meeting in the central army's tent. Yuan Shu was in the upper right and Huo Hai was in the upper left. The other princes sat down according to their official positions. Cao Cao and Liu Bei were basically at the end. Who told them that one had no local official position and the other had the least troops!

"Dong Zhe can't stand there, what can you do?"

After all the people arrived, Yuan Shao, who was sitting in the center of the main seat, spoke first.

"There were more than 10,000 casualties in one afternoon. Our army was already in short supply. If we wanted to attack hard, we were afraid that the losses would only be greater. Tomorrow, we should ask the monks and wise men to take action and force them out of the city to fight." Cao Cao jumped out and said.

The so-called wise man is the name of the wise man with special abilities by the princes, because most of the abilities of these wise man cannot be directly transformed into combat power, but can amplify one's combat power and reduce one's casualties.

For example, Guo Jia, his subordinate, has a ability to enhance the morale of soldiers within a radius of ten miles. As long as these soldiers' hearts are in the same direction as him, they will feel that they have endless energy in their bodies. As for the enemy, it is because what they think is different from him, which will reduce morale and greatly reduce combat power.

Of course, this is just a ability he showed to others. As for what other means there are in secret, I'm afraid only he himself knows.

At this time, Cao Cao's first strategist was not Guo Jia, but another ruthless man who was a wise man.

However, he did not show his abilities to others, but judging from the fact that Cao Cao put him as the first counselor, his abilities must be stronger than those shown by Guo Jia.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he proposed that the monks and sages take action and force Dong Zhuo to switch on and fight.

"The wise man takes action? I'm afraid it's inappropriate. The wise man's ability is not like a monk. It can only be used for assistance and is not suitable for military battles. Moreover, there are strong generals like Hua Xiong who are under Dong's subordinates. If you send a wise man to take action, if you are not careful, it may endanger their lives." Yuan Shao opposed.

He had recruited many talents under the Yuan family. That was his secret weapon to conquer the world in the future, and it would not be exposed so easily.

Although Cao Cao felt that Yuan Shao’s words were somewhat reasonable, he did not think that the sages were not suitable for fighting on the battlefield. Just when he wanted to further discuss the feasibility of this plan with everyone, Yuan Shu suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Since the monks and sages cannot afford to be damaged, wouldn't it be better for the powerful generals to attack the city."

Upon hearing this, Huo Hai frowned. It seemed that the Yuan brothers not only wanted to consume soldiers from each family, but also wanted to consume the powerful generals from each family. However, many people still couldn't understand it and began to agree.

"There is a tiger general Yu She under my tent, so you can lead the troops to attack the city." Seeing someone echoing him, Yuan Shu said proudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a man like an iron tower stood behind him and walked out, clasped his fists and said to everyone, "I will go."

Huo Hai looked at Yu She and found that at most he was at the late stage of internal strength. He knew that this was just an introduction sent by Yuan Shu.

Although the generals in the late stage of internal strength are considered a good level in the army, if they face Hua Xiong, it may not be enough.

But at this time, the prime minister of Jibei Bao Xin was self-righteous and wanted to show off and said, "My second brother Bao Zhong has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and is also a good player in military formations, so he asked him to go with General Yu."

As soon as Bao Xin finished speaking, Bao Zhong, who had been standing behind him, also strode out. He looked much stronger than Yu She, but his actual cultivation was also just like the late stage of internal strength.

"It's not even a siege in the city, but it's not enough to have fewer people. I have a famous Hebei general Fang Yue under my tent, so I can go with two generals." Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, spoke.

At this time, a man who looked thin but gave people the powerful feeling of Kong Wu walked out from behind Zhang Miao. Huo Hai didn't know how he got from Wang Kuang to Zhang Miao, but his cultivation was indeed not weak, at least he had the aura of the peak level of internal strength. No wonder in the Romance, he could fight against Lu Bu for five rounds. If he had fought against Hua Xiong, he might be able to play 55.

Since several people sent out powerful generals under the tent, the other princes had to express their feelings and said that the Japanese Association sent strong generals to accompany them.

Especially Gongsun Zan, he threatened to climb the city himself.

Of course, this is just a show.

Because everyone knows that all he brings are cavalry, if he sends a bare general to attack the city, wouldn't it be a joke?

But at this moment, no one was willing to borrow infantry to attack the city, because Gongsun Zan would not return the loss, so he had to give up in the end.

Huo Hai didn't speak from beginning to end, but he didn't expect that Yuan Shao would be named in the end.

"I wonder who Huozhou Mu plans to send to attack the city tomorrow? It doesn't matter if his subordinates do not have infantry. I have two thousand personal guards under my tent, so I can lend it to the commander of the powerful generals under Huozhou Mu."

"It's not a problem for the leader Yuan to worry. Although I am full of cavalry, I have many excellent siege weapons. Tomorrow, my Bingzhou Army will take the lead for the generals, and use catapults and crossbow formations to suppress the defenders on the city walls, creating opportunities for the generals to climb the city."

After Huo Hai finished speaking, he saw the faint disappointment in Yuan Shao's eyes. Until now, his biggest potential opponents, Huo Hai and Gongsun Zan, have not been damaged.

The key is that he has no good way to drag the two of them out.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei behind Liu Bei wanted to lead their troops to fight. With their strong and powerful cultivation, even if there was a defensive formation arranged by monks in Hulao Pass, the two would not be afraid. However, Liu Bei patted their hands and told them not to be impatient.

Among the princes present, only Liu Bei had the thinnest family background. It was already the limit of Yong'an County to bring out five thousand soldiers and horses, so he dare not spend it here.

Of course, not many people care about him sitting in the last seat. After all, the princes actually came after receiving the post from Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei came on his own initiative after receiving the news.

There was a huge group of gentry behind all the princes, but Liu Bei did not. There was a certain gap between them naturally and the princes did not even regard Liu Bei as a person of the same level as him.

The military discussion did not end until late at night. After everyone made a rough agreement on a plan to attack the city, they went back to the camp to rest. Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei a few steps faster and chased Huo Hai to talk to him alone, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao was there too.

"Do you two want to ask about the problem of tomorrow? In fact, you all know in your heart that you will lose." After Huo Hai stood still, he looked at the two and said.

"Then why don't you stop Huozhou Mu?" Cao Cao said.

"If you don't fight, all the princes will not be in real trouble and will not be able to do anything. Moreover, Hua Xiong is easy to deal with, but there are many people under Dong Zhuo's command who are stronger than Hua Xiong. If you don't lead them out and defeat them, Dong Zhuo's status will not be shaken. Moreover, I had already talked with you last night that the war will inevitably go on the road of strong attack. In this way, it is in the interests of the Yuan brothers. Have you forgotten?" Huo Hai smiled.

"Hey, why is it so complicated to fight? I will kill the city with a spear and cut off Hua Xiong. The army is heading straight to Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo will be defeated." Zhang Fei wondered.

In fact, what he said was really a solution. While Lu Bu did not come, he used high-end force to give Hua Xiong a beheading operation, and perhaps he could really take down Hulao Pass, but this was not in the interests of Huo Hai and Liu Bei.

Because the two of them had already planned to get some population out of Sili. If they quickly conquered Hulao Pass and Luoyang City, they would have no time to get the population.

"Don't be reckless, Hulao Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is unknown how many defensive methods are arranged by monks hidden in it. It is not yet known that it is not the place where you show off your personal ability."

"Yi De has the courage to be inappropriate for thousands of men, so it is natural to kill Hua Xiong. However, if Lu Feng comes to Hulao Pass first, you must be careful and do not be his ghost under his halberd."

Huo Hai stimulated Zhang Fei and said to Cao Cao and Liu Bei, "The two can watch the battle quietly tomorrow. If the time comes, they can take action."

After saying that, he quickly walked towards his camp amid Zhang Fei's cursing voice.

"Brother, the aura of Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide is not worse than that of Lu Bu. If there were no other powerful people under Dong Zhuo's command, just one Lu Bu might not be able to defeat him." After Zhao Yun entered the camp, he sat down with Huo Hai.

"Add to one Liu Bei, the three brothers and Lu Bu should be able to tie the game." Huo Hai smiled.

"Why?" Zhao Yun asked in confusion.

"Because Liu Bei is a smart man, even more than Cao Cao thought. If Dong Zhuo was destroyed at this time, most of the world would be Yuan's family. Force Dong Zhuo to flee west can only be saved by the Han Dynasty and the status of Liu Bei's relatives. In this way, he will have a chance."

"Brother means that Liu Xuande is in the world?" Zhao Yun said in a daze.

Although he was young, he had been with Huo Hai for two or three years and had some insights into the general trend of the world.

Liu Bei personally regarded as the clan, and the Han Dynasty was able to continue, and his status would be continued. If the Yuan family won the world, then the identity of their Han Dynasty was worthless and would even be eradicated by the Yuan family as soon as possible.

"The princes who came to join the alliance are actually all those who are determined by the world, but some are real abilities, while others are idiots. Liu Bei and Cao Cao will definitely achieve higher achievements in the future than everyone else." Huo Hai smiled.

"Is even Yuan Shao not as good as him?" Zhao Yun said with some doubts.
