Chapter 32: Make a Gambling Covenant Again

Yuan Shao lost consecutive battles and was killed by Lu Bu and abandoned his armor. He was defeated and defeated the four princes.

Although the damaged troops were not his troops, this continuous failure was a disastrous blow to Yuan Shao's prestige.

Yuan Shao, who was in a red eye, no longer expected Ye Zhao and Yuan Shu to gather the soldiers of the princes outside Hulao Pass and launch a crazy attack on Hulao Pass.

More than 100,000 troops were deployed outside Hulao Pass. According to Cao Cao's suggestion, the more than 100,000 troops were divided into one part of every 30,000 people, and they launched an attack, attack, and then attacked Hulao Pass day and night...

Under such crazy attack by the coalition forces, Hulao Pass turned into a Shura battlefield, with the water in the walls, land and even the moat dyed red by blood.

Compared with the tragic war before Hulao Pass, Yuan Shu and Ye Zhao, who were stationed in Yique Pass, seemed much more relaxed. After Yuan Shu arrived at Yique Pass, he organized several attacks, but was blocked. As for Xuanyuan Pass, Ye Zhao set up a stone scatterer outside Xuanyuan Pass, digging a ravine, and acted as if he would kill you if he dared to come out. Niu Fu was cautious by nature. Seeing Ye Zhao put on such a formation, he would not be ready to fight, even if he had this intention, he would be scared back to see Ye Zhao's attitude.

Yuan Shao was beaten by Hulao Pass and was sacrificing his life. In addition to conducting routine daily inspections on the military camp, Ye Zhao was mostly preaching the scriptures and discussions with Kong Rong.

The predecessor had an amazing memory. Not only did he understand all kinds of schools of thought, he also studied Confucianism. Even a great scholar like Kong Rong could sit down and discuss the truth, which made Kong Rong feel like he had met a confidant. He kept talking about the past and the present all day long, and almost forgot that he was on the battlefield now.

"Lord, Hua Xiong has been arrested for almost a month, so don't you question him?" On this day, Ye Zhao said goodbye to Kong Rong and took Dian Wei back to the camp. On the way, Dian Wei finally couldn't help asking.

"What did he do when interrogating him? I know better about Luoyang than him." Ye Zhao asked back.

"But this guy has an amazing appetite. He can stand up to three people by himself. He speaks dirty words all day long, so he doesn't make any noise. If he doesn't ask for an interrogation, what would he do to arrest him? Why would he cut him off?" Dian Wei said with a dark face.

"One person is worth three?" Ye Zhao looked at Dian Wei strangely. This guy was embarrassed to say that he could eat the portion of five people in one meal, but now he thought others had eaten too much.

"Yes." Dian Wei nodded naturally.

"Okay, it's almost a month, and your strength has disappeared. You bring him." Ye Zhao shook his head helplessly. This is a typical double standard.

"Here!" Dian Wei nodded, and soon, he brought Hua Xiong to the tent.

"General Hua, I don't want you to see you again, but this is the situation!" Ye Zhao sat on Hu's bed, looked at Hua Xiong and smiled, "I've lived a comfortable life these days? If the soldiers under the tent have any rudeness to the general, I will tell you all."

"I dare to ask Ye Hou!" Hua Xiong looked at Ye Zhao and said, "Why did Ye Hou and my lord secretly form an alliance, why did he capture me?"

"I didn't capture you, but I'll save you!" Ye Zhao looked at Hua Xiong and said, "Do you know that there are at least three people in the Guandong princes' coalition forces, not under Dian Wei. If I hadn't asked Dian Wei to capture you as a guest, but one of these three people took action, General Hua would probably have no heads to talk and laugh with this marquis like this at this moment."

"The way Ye Hou treats guests is really..." Hua Xiong looked at the rope on his body and sneered. He didn't believe Ye Zhao's words at all. When did such a powerful general like Dian Wei become a mess?

"If you believe it or not, please follow your wishes." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "As for the way of hospitality... I have something to say, I am afraid General Hua will not believe it."

"Mr. Ye, please say it." Hua Xiong looked at Ye Zhao and sneered.

"I say Dong Zhuo will be defeated!" Ye Zhao smiled at Hua Xiong.

"Ye Hou's words are just laughable, just those Guandong rats?" Hua Xiong sneered: "It's not Hua Xiong who looks down on Ye Hou. Ye Hou is a hero at that time. Hua admires it. However, the Guandong princes are just native chickens and dogs. My lords are not the courage of Wen, but the bravest ones in the world. There are also many stronger people in Luoyang than Hua. If Ye Hou is the leader of the alliance, he may still have some chance of winning. However, Ye Hou will look at the Guandong princes. How can they compete with our lord just by them?"

"This is true, but this marquis did not say that Dong Zhuo was defeated by the princes of Guandong." Ye Zhao looked at Hua Xiong and smiled.

"What does this mean?" Hua Xiong frowned and looked at Ye Zhao and said.

"Dong Zhuo's command is full of factions, and the Xiliang army is the direct subordinate of Dong Zhuo. Now Lu Bu is in Hulao Pass and overwhelms the heroes. The princes of Guandong cannot raise their heads and their reputations are growing. After this war, they will be highly valued. However, as a surrendered general, he was granted a high position and will be rejected by the soldiers of Xiliang. In addition, the scholars of Luoyang are also in the same power as Dong Zhuo. The general does not know that during the time when the general was captured, Dong Zhuo set up a butcher knife in Luoyang and killed countless famous scholars. Although they shocked those scholars, they were even more hated by scholars."

"How can a group of people who only know how to say nonsense without soldiers or power?" Hua Xiong said disdainfully when he heard this.

"Then General Hua dares to bet with me?" Ye Zhao looked at Hua Xiong and smiled.

"How to bet?" Hua Xiong looked at Ye Zhao and frowned.

"Just bet on whether Dong Zhuo will lose. If he is defeated, General Hua must be loyal to me." Ye Zhao looked at Hua Xiong and said with a smile.

"What if Ye Hou lost?" Hua Xiong looked at Ye Zhao and said.

"If Dong Zhuo is not defeated, this marquis will join General Hua to serve him!" Ye Zhao said with a smile.

Hua Xiong looked at Ye Zhao vigilantly. Although he didn't know much, he thought about Ye Zhao's past comments. He always felt that he would be deceived by Ye Zhao. After careful consideration, the divine light in his eyes moved and he looked at Ye Zhao with a sneer: "If my master is undefeated, will Ye Hou never let me go?"

Ye Zhao looked at Hua Xiong in surprise, not expecting that this rash man had such a scheming. He shook his head and laughed: "General Hua has made me look at him with admiration. Then it will take a one-year period. If Dong Zhuo is not defeated within one year, I will lose, otherwise..."

One year is also a period of transformation of Dong Zhuo. If Dong Zhuo can survive this year, then he can hold the emperor in his hand and in the name of the emperor, he can also collect a large number of talents for his own use. If those scholars have a brain, they will probably not let Dong Zhuo survive this year. Otherwise, after a year, after Dong Zhuo's momentum is achieved, it will be even more difficult for them to do. If Dong Zhuo can really survive this year, then the general trend of the world is that Dong Zhuo is in Guanzhong, Guandong, and the two Yuans compete for the front line, and Ye Zhao is in the crack, so he has to surrender to one force as a protection, otherwise it is easy to be targeted by three parties at the same time. Even if there is no bet, Ye Zhao will consider temporarily hiding Dong Zhuo.

"If this is true, Hua will be loyal to Ye Hou!" Hua Xiong said loudly.

"Good!" Ye Zhao nodded and smiled, "Dian Wei, let him loose."

"Here!" Dian Wei didn't say anything nonsense and went forward to untie the rope on Hua Xiong's body.

"Why isn't Ye Hou afraid that Hua will regret it?" Hua Xiong looked at Ye Zhao unexpectedly.

"I believe General Hua is a trusted person." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"You and I are so close. If you attack at this moment, even if Dian Wei defeats me, you may not be able to stop me here." Hua Xiong looked at Dian Wei, then looked at Ye Zhao and said, "If you can capture Ye Hou, even if you don't fulfill the bet, Ye Hou will follow me to return to the court and serve my master."

Ye Zhao suddenly laughed when he heard this, and he was very happy.

"What are you laughing at?" Hua Xiong said angrily.

Dian Wei grinned and said, "Even if it is Lu Bu, he has no weapons in his hand, and he doesn't dare to say such crazy words at such a close distance. Just you?"

After saying that, he even gave Hua Xiong a contemptuous look.

Hua Xiong suddenly remembered that when Ye Zhao was still in Luoyang, he seemed to have fought with Lu Bu head-on, but no one said the process. However, with Lu Bu's temperament, Ye Zhao sat here calmly at this moment, which had already explained many problems. He sighed helplessly: "Thank you, Ye, please don't worry, Hua will never escape within a year."

"Let's arrange for him to stay here first and treat him with the courtesy of a general. Don't stop him where General Hua wants to go in the barracks." Ye Zhao nodded with a smile.

"Here!" Dian Wei bowed and took Hua Xiong out of Ye Zhao's tent.

Looking at the two of them leaving, Ye Zhao stood up. Hua Xiong's matter was settled. Next, it depends on Dong Zhuo. The day before yesterday, he had already received news from Xi Zhicai that Dong Zhuo was secretly migrating the people in Mianchi and Gucheng to Guanzhong. Dong Zhuo had begun to prepare to shrink his troops and give up Luoyang.

However, now that the levels are blocked, the news has not yet been reported. Xi Zhicai also calculated through the information of the three auxiliary members. Recently, a large number of people in Hongnong have been driven across the border. This kind of news is too far away for Kanto, but for Hanzhong, it is easy to get it, and it cannot be hidden even if you want to.

Now that Lu Bu is overwhelming the princes, Hulaoguan has been attacking wildly for several days, but has not been able to break through Hulaoguan, which has also given Dong Zhuo time to deploy calmly. In addition, Yuan Wei and other scholars were killed, even if the remaining scholars are interested in the princes of Guandong, it may be difficult for news to be heard in a short period of time.

After thinking about it, Ye Zhao gave up passing the news to Yuan Shao. Dong Zhuo moved these people to Guanzhong. In the future, if Dong Zhuo was defeated and in the chaos in Guanzhong, as long as he was good at guiding, he would benefit the most. Why should he help the princes of Guandong?

There was nothing wrong in the next few days. A few days later, in the early morning, Ye Zhao was still practicing in the morning, but saw Kong Rong hurriedly bringing a few personal guards to Ye Zhao's camp.

"Why is Mr. Wen Ju so in a hurry?" Ye Zhao looked at the joyful look on Kong Rong's face and smiled, "But what's the good thing?"

"This morning, the leader of the alliance sent a letter saying that Hulao Pass would be broken soon. He summoned us to gather troops and horses in front of Hulao Pass and entered from Hulao Pass!" Kong Rong looked at Ye Zhao and said with a smile.

"This is a great joy." Ye Zhao nodded when he heard this. No matter how strong the Hulao Pass was, Yuan Shao had such a crazy attack of no cost. In such a short period of time, even if it was dismantled, Hulao Pass could be demolished.

“When will we set out?”
