Chapter 154 Everything is ready and only owes Dongfeng
Hangu Pass, as an important pass into the Sanfu area, is heavily guarded at all times.

Ever since Mengchen took control of the entire territory of Xiliang, Zhang Ji was arranged here.

In the past two years, Zhang Ji worked hard at Hangu Pass. He not only managed Hangu Pass in an orderly manner, but also renovated the entire pass.

And his nephew, Zhang Xiu, was entrusted by Meng Chen with the important task of serving as the prefect of the Northland.

No matter from which point of view, Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew can already be regarded as the backbone of Meng Chen's subordinates.

Today's Hangu Pass was flying inside and outside, Zhang Ji and his generals were waiting at the gate early in the morning.

The news of Meng Chen's arrival came two days ago. Although he didn't say it clearly, Zhang Ji was shocked when he saw the continuous supply of food and grass.

It is not as simple as it sounds to send a [-] army to the expedition. All kinds of logistics supplies have come down, and the Hangu Pass, which was originally empty, has been filled to the brim.

"Boom!"

There was a thunderous sound, and many small black spots loomed on the horizon not far away.

As time passed, the entire official road suddenly became lively.

"My lord has arrived, and I will go to greet you!" Zhang Ji waved his hand and rode away with his personal guards.

Seeing this, Meng Chen didn't hold back, and immediately led the guards out.

It was natural for everyone to greet each other, but what Zhang Ji didn't expect was that his nephew Zhang Xiu was also on the list.

"Old General Zhang only manages Hangu Pass in an orderly manner. I have lost my talent, I have lost my talent!" Meng Chen laughed and praised, but Zhang Ji waved his hand hastily.

"I know the ability of a certain general best, my lord praises it."

The atmosphere where everyone met was harmonious, and there was naturally a banquet, but since the army was about to go on an expedition, Meng Chen limited the amount of alcohol the generals could drink in advance.

That day and night, Meng Chen, who was about to go to bed, received a message from Jia Xu that Yuan Shao raised 40 troops, claiming that 70 troops marched southward.

Cao Cao, who got the news, also made corresponding countermeasures, concentrating his forces and retreating across the board.

The most important point is that the two sides concentrated all their forces on Guandu.

Whether the original historical situation will happen, Meng Chen doesn't know, but it is a certainty that Lu Bu led the army to attack Xudu southward.

"My lord, according to the analysis of the information obtained so far, Lu Bu must have passed through Luoyang." Li Cunxiao pointed to the location of Luoyang on the map and said with certainty.

"If someone is Cao Cao, and he knows in advance that Lu Bu is attacking Xudu, he will definitely ambush one of his troops at Hulao Pass." Meng Chen frowned and said slowly.

Lu Bu's actions are more dangerous than good, and the two of them joined forces to plot but they still don't know it!
The dispatch of troops this time can be said to have embarked on a road of no return.

"The last general thought that Cao Cao would let Lu Bu pass through Hulao Pass, and after Yuan Shao sent troops to merge the prefecture, the ambush would reappear."

"So, what's the difference from catching a turtle in a urn!"

When it came to the end, Meng Chen kept shaking his head, Lu Bu was courageous, but he had no plans, and he would not listen to others' dissuasion.

In troubled times, it is really difficult for such a person to survive.

"Is there any news from Zilong?"

"There is no news yet."

"The Marquis of the Black Mountain Army is not worried, after all Zhang Yan is a sensible person."

The two discussed for a long time in the dim light, and did not return to rest until it was dark.

During this expedition, Liu Bowen stayed in Chang'an, while Jia Xu was busy collecting intelligence, so the post of military adviser fell on Li Cunxiao.

For his favorite general, Meng Chen naturally had a lot of trust, the attack route of the entire army had already been planned, it can be said that everything was ready and only owed to Dongfeng.

Xu Du, since Cao Cao led his troops to set off, the atmosphere in the entire palace has become strange.

Today's morning, there is nothing special.

After the court meeting dispersed, Fu Wan entered the harem as usual and reported some trivial matters to the emperor Liu Xie.

But today, Fu Wan brought news that excited Liu Xie!

"Your Majesty, this is a letter written by the Marquis of Linjing."

When he said this, Dong Cheng's voice was extremely low. Although all the eunuchs and maids around were driven away by Liu Xie, the more secret this kind of thing, the better.

Hearing this, Liu Xie looked excited, and took the brocade silk handed over by Fu Wan. Although there were not a few words on it, it was enough to make Liu Xie feel excited.

After a while, he crouched down and took back the letter, and ignited it with the flame of the oil lamp.

Once the letter is leaked, not only will it be over, but even the emperor will suffer.

"Hey, there is no trustworthy person around, and it is very inconvenient for Wang Jianshi to do things."

While the two were discussing, the little eunuch at the door suddenly reported that Xun Yu, the attendant, asked to see him.

For Xun Yu, Liu Xie still has a glimmer of hope. After all, he has a heart for the big man and the royal family, and from time to time, he is also talking to himself and a group of veterans.

After a while, Xun Yu walked in slowly, bowed to Liu Xie and said, "My lord, see Your Majesty."

"What's the matter, love?"

"The bandits in the city are making trouble recently, and the palace needs to be strengthened."

"Aiqing can arrange this matter."

"My minister retire."

After saying a few words, Xun Yu left in a hurry, Liu Xie and Fu Wan were completely confused about this.

After a long time, Fu Wan woke up suddenly, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Minister Xun is reminding us to be careful."

"hiss!"

Liu Xie gasped, wanting to escape from Xudu was more than just talking about it.

At this moment, Cao Cao had already led his troops to Guandu, and was at an obvious disadvantage in terms of military strength, but Cao Jun's combat power was not as unbearable as Yuan Shao imagined.

After several rounds of fighting, the two sides won each other, especially the generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou in the hands of Yuan Shao made Cao Cao a little bit difficult.

"My lord, Yuan Shao's move is a bit strange."

It was Cao Hong who spoke. As Cao Cao's general, he analyzed the current situation very accurately.

Not only Yuan Shao's actions were strange, but also Cao Cao's reaction.

"This time Yuan Shao intends to go to Bingzhou, and Lu Bu wants to sneak attack Xu Du, hmph, wishful thinking."

As soon as this remark came out, Cao Hongfang suddenly realized, and only then did he realize that the military officer Jijiu who had been following his lord was not here.

"Guo Jijiu..." As soon as the words came out, Cao Hong shut his mouth decisively.

As the chief general, he naturally knew what should be asked and what should not be asked. Since Cao Cao didn't elaborate, then as a subordinate, he couldn't ask more.

"Order the three armies to stand firm and cooperate with Yuan Shao to finish this big show."

Psychologically speaking, Cao Cao didn't want to watch Yuan Shao win Bingzhou, but it was a pity that he didn't have enough troops, otherwise he didn't mind competing with Yuan Shao.

Following the issuance of Cao Cao's general order, Cao Jun basically stayed behind closed doors, and Yuan Shao called for a battle for several days, so he gave up!

The two sides fell into a confrontation in Guandu tacitly. No matter which side it was, they were unwilling to break the tranquility in front of them.
