Chapter 46
Kill Lu Bu!Break through Hulao Pass!Kill Dong Zhuo!

Three goals in a row should be achieved today, and Cao Cao couldn't react for a while.

But what Liu Bian said was reasonable, especially after Cao Cao knew that Liu Bian had already dealt with Lu Bu, he firmly believed in what Liu Bian said!

"Cao understands! Thank you Your Highness for explaining Cao! I'll do it now!"

Cao Cao bowed deeply to Liu Bian, then turned and left, his eyes were not only excited about the approaching fighter plane, but also deeply shocked.

Although he had already seen Liu Bian's convincing when he cut Huaxiong and broke the Sishui Pass earlier, but now that Liu Bian broke the matter down and explained it to him, Cao Cao really realized , this great Han King Hongnong was really not just a profound thinker, he also had a very thorough understanding of the military spirit and people's hearts of both sides.

So much so that Cao Cao was convinced that there was no sign of it and that it had not even happened yet.

"Your Highness... you really are the real dragon in charge!"

Seeing Cao Cao get out of the tent, Liu Bian let out a soft breath, letting out the stagnant air that had been stagnant in his chest, turning it into a long sigh.

Mao Zhihua was pouring tea at the side. When she heard Liu Bian sigh, she gently raised her eyes.

"My lord, it seems that you still have something on your mind?"

Liu Bian reached out to pick up the tea that Mao Zhihua had just poured, drank it in one sip, and then said:
"Yes, there are some things that I still can't tell him."

Unozhihua's eyes were soft, she possessed herself and filled the teacup in front of Liu Bian again and said:
"Then, can you tell me?"

Liu Bian turned his head and saw Mao Zhihua looking directly at him, with a gentle gaze that seemed to have the power to heal people's hearts.

He is truly worthy of being the captain of the fourth division in charge of medical affairs...

Liu Bian smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Of course, as long as you don't find it annoying."

Uzhihua is a military general drawn from the system, and she is absolutely loyal to Liu Bian. At the same time, she is a master with excellent skills and intelligence. She has accurate opinions on what can and cannot be said. Judging, Liu Bian can believe her without reason.

"It is my honor to share the Lord's worries."

Unohana smiled and bowed.

But Liu Bian's eyes were already looking at the sky outside the tent.

"Mao Zhihua, do you know that there is a loophole in what I told Meng De just now? Where is it?"

Mao Zhihua blinked, then smiled and said: "Perhaps General Cao didn't notice that there was a contradiction in my lord's words, regarding the attack on Hulao Pass. My lord just said that when Lu Bu's army charged here, it was the end of the strong crossbow. On the other hand, even if our army defeats Lu Bu, the distance we charge to Hulao Pass will be farther than the distance Lu Bu attacks. By then our army will be tired. Although our army is mighty, we still have to attack the city. It’s not as easy as the Lord said.”

After Mao Zhihua finished speaking, she looked at Liu Bian with a smile.

Liu Bian turned around and said with a wry smile: "As expected of you, you were the first to discover the flaw in my words."

"My lord, Miao Zan."

Mao Zhihua leaned forward and said, "Actually, General Cao is not a stupid person. He was just attracted by the victory described by the Lord, so he ignored this incongruity."

"kindness……"

Liu Bian nodded, and then said: "Actually, there are two discords. In addition to the one you mentioned, the other is that in Hulao Pass, Dong Zhuojun's military morale is not easily shaken."

"Although the killing of Lu Bu can indeed bring a certain blow to Dong Zhuo's army, Dong Zhuo's army is Dong Zhuo's army after all. As long as Dong Zhuo does not fall, they will not be easily defeated! Therefore, this time the siege of Hulao Pass... It will be a solid and tough battle, and our counterattack against Lu Bu will turn into Dong Zhuo's willingness to work against our army, and by then... a large number of casualties may be inevitable."

"Then my lord, why don't you let our army repair first and then attack the city?"

Mao Zhihua asked: "Since today's attack on the city is Dong Zhuo's leisure, then our army only needs two days or even one day of repairs to regain its combat strength, and it will not affect the military power?"

Liu Bian sighed again, "Because our army has the only chance to attack the city this time."

"In this battle, we have to face not only Dong Zhuo who is in Hulao Pass, but also Yuan Shao who is sitting back and watching."

"Sun Jian, Wang Kuang, and Bao Xin, although they are loyal to me, are still nominally members of the Kwantung Allied Forces and must be restrained by the leader of the Kwantung Allied Forces, Yuan Shao. This time, let them act as soldiers without authorization, come to support Cao Cao, and attack the Tigers together. The purpose of being imprisoned is to withstand the pressure from Yuan Shao. Especially this matter will put a wedge in Yuan Shao's original plan."

"And all the princes have long been envious of the achievements of the four-party coalition under my command, especially Yuan Shu. They will definitely stick to this matter and demand punishment for our four-party coalition. It can be said that this move not only offends everyone Taboo, it will directly hit Yuan Shao's muzzle, after all, what we sabotage is his plan."

"So, if we can defeat Hulao Pass this time, it's fine. If we can't defeat it... I'm afraid we won't have another chance."

Seeing the heaviness in Liu Bian's eyes, Mao Zhihua nodded slowly, expressing her understanding of Liu Bian's explanation, but there was still doubt in her eyes.

"My lord, I still have one doubt. I wonder if my lord can clear it up for me?"

"Ah……"

Liu Bian smiled bitterly, turned his head and said, "You want to ask, why do I value this battle so much, why do I have to fight to break through the Tiger Prison, right?"

"Master Mingjian."

Mao Zhihua looked at Liu Bian and said: "Please forgive me for being presumptuous. In Mao Zhihua's view, the lord is not someone who covets military glory. This can be seen from the fact that the lord put himself in the dark from the beginning. .So, I really don’t understand why my lord must take the power of breaking through the barrier and killing Dong Zhuo into his own hands?”

Following Unozhihua's questioning, Liu Bian's eyes gradually became heavy, looking far outside the tent, as if he was looking at the battlefield in the distance, and he seemed to be looking at Hulao Pass even further away.

"What are you looking at, my lord?" Maozhihua asked.

"Looking at Luoyang."

Liu Bian's voice became much heavier, as if he was saying something very painful: "Looking at the innocent people in Luoyang who are under Dong Zhuo's tyranny, they are all my Han people... How can I let them suffer?" The suffering of being displaced and forced to leave home!”

Mao Zhihua didn't understand Liu Bian's words, but she also understood that Liu Bian's explanation was over.

She poured tea again and handed it to Liu Bian, then said:

"My lord is worried about the people, and I am really touched by Mao Zhihua. If there is something for me in this battle, I will definitely do my best."

Liu Bian looked at Mao Zhihua, his gentle eyes filled with unwavering determination.

"If so, thank you very much."

Liu Bian said seriously: "Maozhihua, I don't need you to kill Lu Bu. Before that, you can rest as you like. For you, my hope is that you can help me break through the Hulao Gate! And, kill Dong Zhuo! "

"The Flower of Mao, take your orders."

Mao Zhihua got up and came to the middle of the big tent, and bowed deeply to Liu Bian.
