If Hulao Pass is broken, then the greatest contribution will be from him, Yuan Shao?

Although Liu Yu came up with the strategy, Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance, and he is naturally indispensable for the credit.

And Cao Cao, after listening to Liu Yu's strategy, bowed his head and pondered for a moment, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed with Liu Yu's strategy.

Cao Cao understood Liu Yu, and it would definitely not be so simple for Liu Yu to call everyone to discuss strategies with great fanfare.

Why disturb Dong Zhuo's coalition forces?Obviously not to attack the city, but to contain Dong Zhuo and prevent him from getting away!

But Cao Cao understands, it doesn't mean others understand, Cao Cao understands Liu Yu, but others don't, Cao Cao knows some arrangements of Liu Yu, but the princes don't!

After Cao Cao figured out the details, he looked up at Liu Yu, only to find that Liu Yu was also looking at him. Seeing this, Cao Cao blinked at Liu Yu cryptically, and then grinned.

Seeing this, Liu Yu gave Cao Cao a blank look, and then stopped talking to Cao Cao.

Xun You, who was behind Liu Yu, looked at the black-faced and aggrieved Cao Cao, holding his beard with his hand, smiling.

Xun You knew in his heart that Cao Cao must have thought of something, but they were all his own people, so could he still inform Yuan Shao?

After all the princes discussed it properly, they all went down to prepare, but the sound of the war drums never stopped.

Dong Zhuo, who was gathering cavalry in Hulao Pass and planned to leave in the dark, also vaguely heard the sound of war drums outside Hulao Pass.

The voice couldn't help but startled Dong Zhuo, and also surprised Li Ru.

Could it be that the coalition forces plan to take advantage of the darkness to attack the city? !Could it be that they are all iron-clad? !Tired? !

Even though they thought so, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru did not dare to delay in the slightest.

They quickly ordered the sergeant to return to the pass and prepare to meet the attack of the Kwantung Allied Forces.

But when they came to Guanshang, they found that there was no movement in the coalition camp, but the drums were still beating.

When Li Ru saw this, how could he not understand? !This must be a conspiracy by the enemy army, but he didn't dare to gamble, what if they really attacked the city just after they left? !

Li Ru thought of this, couldn't bear it anymore, pointed at the camp of the coalition army and said angrily: "You are shameless!! I want to use this to disturb our army's morale, exhaust its body, make it difficult to eat and sleep well, what a vicious scheme!"

Dong Zhuo also understood when he heard Li Ru's roar, but he still had to find a way to deal with it.

"Wenyou, what should I do now?!"

Li Ru sighed when he heard the words, the coalition army's strategy was flickering, true and false, false and true, he didn't know if the coalition army would attack the city.

"Duke Ming, it is impossible for the coalition forces to stay awake, eat and drink! Since they can disturb us, we can also disturb them!"

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to ask Li Ru.

"How about the specifics?! Wenyou tell me quickly!"

Li Ru nodded, and said with a gloomy face: "My subordinates guessed that half of them must rest and the other half will be in charge of formation, so I will also divide half of them to rest and the other half to beat drums and form formation!"

Seeing Dong Zhuo smiling and looking at him expectantly, Li Ru continued to speak.

"After a few days, both armies are exhausted. I believe they will stop beating the drums and pretend to attack. I will leave the tiger prison while their army is resting!"

After Li Ru finished speaking, Dong Zhuo immediately agreed to his plan, and then began to give orders to the generals around him.

"Hmph! I only hate that the defenders of Jiguan can't get away, otherwise, while you are waiting for half of the soldiers to rest, I, Li Ru, will definitely defeat your Kwantung coalition army in one fell swoop!!"

Seeing the generals doing things according to their own plan, Li Ru couldn't help thinking bitterly in his heart.

Today, the number of cavalry at Hulao Pass is only [-] after a few days of fighting!There are still [-] cavalry in Jiguan, and [-] infantry in Luoyang.

If the 18 cavalry in Jiguan are here, with [-] Xiliang soldiers, he is confident that he will take advantage of the rest of the coalition forces to take away the camp of the princes' army in one fell swoop!

……

On the second day, the Kwantung Allied Forces unexpectedly attacked the city beyond Li Ru's expectations!And not just one wave.

The number of soldiers who attacked the city each time was less than 10, but they were divided into three batches!

This made the Xiliang army tired of coping, repelled one wave, and the second wave immediately followed.

Although the scale was not large, it also caused some casualties to the Xiliang Army.

The Xiliang army continued to decrease. As time went by, the number of Xiliang soldiers died and injured increased. In the end, they could only send cavalry who did not know how to defend the city to help defend the city. This made Li Ru more and more worried.

Although the number of soldiers of the Kwantung Allied Army is also decreasing, compared with the Xiliang Army, there are still too many more!

On the second day, Li Ru couldn't bear the pressure in his heart anymore, so he asked Dong Zhuo for instructions, sent someone to hurry up, and secretly informed Li Jue.

Let him lead an army of [-] to support Hulao, while Guo Si will lead the remaining cavalry to stay at the main road of Jiguan!

He doesn't believe that the coalition forces can continue to attack the city. In at most two days, the coalition forces will definitely die down!

The call for Li Jue to come to support, on the one hand, is to persist in the siege battle for the next two days, and on the other hand, it is to prevent the coalition forces from attacking the city regardless of everything.

As for whether Guo Bang, who stayed behind at Jiguan, would be in danger, Li Ru couldn't control so much at this time, I just hope that Li Jue will come to support, and Yang Ji won't find out!

After two days of fighting, Dong Zhuo saw that the number of people around him was getting smaller and smaller. Even if Lu Bu was by his side, Dong Zhuo didn't feel very safe.

Regarding Li Ru's request for instructions, Dong Zhuo did not hesitate, and directly agreed.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo nodded in agreement, Li Ru immediately sent someone to hurry up and notify Li Jue to lead the army to come to support.

……

On the afternoon of the second day, Li Jue finally led [-] Xiliang cavalry to Hulao Pass.

The arrival of Li Jue gave Dong Zhuo a sense of security again, and Li Ru was relieved.

Chapter 272 Embarrassed fleeing

After Li Jue led the reinforcements to Hulao Pass, the allied forces of the princes did not attack the city that night.

The Xiliang army was exhausted, and the coalition forces of the princes were not at ease. In the past few days, they also harassed the coalition forces of the princes and did not let them rest well.

But the [-] cavalry led by Li Jue were alive and well, without any trace of fatigue.

Seeing this, Li Ru's heart moved, and he wanted Lu Bu to lead the [-] cavalry to raid the camp of the coalition forces of the princes. If successful, the coalition forces of the princes would surely suffer heavy casualties.

But before Li Ru could make a move, he saw countless torches suddenly lit up in the camp of the allied forces of the princes, illuminating that area.

Under the torches, there were well-dressed Zhenbei Army cavalry. At this time, they were waiting in line to prevent the Xiliang Army from sneaking into the camp.

Li Ru was taken aback when he saw this, then he was overjoyed, turned around and ran down the city wall to discuss with Dong Zhuo.

Li Ru found Dong Zhuo with a happy face and told him his thoughts.

"Minggong, the cavalry of the northern army in Sanwan Town is lining up in front of the coalition army camp. This is the best time for us to evacuate! If we miss it, we will be trapped in this mud, no matter how difficult it is to save ourselves. !"

Seeing the surprise on Li Ru's face, Dong Zhuo thought that the Kwantung Allied Forces had withdrawn, but when he heard Li Ru say this, Dong Zhuo was confused.

"Wenyou, all the northern troops in the town of [-] are out, why are you happy?!"

Li Ru heard this, and explained to Dong Zhuo with a smile: "Minggong, don't worry, why did all the [-] troops from the northern town go out? Did Minggong hear the drums beating? The Beijun army must have covered the infantry to rest, so, Confucianism, Not only tonight, but tomorrow the coalition forces will not attack the city either!"

Dong Zhuo suddenly realized when he heard the words, and nodded to Li Ru again and again.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru didn't dare to delay, and quickly ordered the soldiers to pack their things, planning to return to Luoyang in the dark.

But the facts were exactly as Li Ru expected, not only did the coalition forces not attack Hulao Pass that night, even the coalition forces did not move out the next day.

Li Ru was still complacent when he heard the news, but he didn't know that after a while, they couldn't laugh anymore.

Dong Zhuo, who had just returned to Luoyang, heard a piece of news that he didn't want to hear before his skin and bones were hot.

Yang Ji, the guard of Jiguan, led his troops out of the city and defeated Guo Bang's [-] cavalry in one fell swoop!

At this time, Guo Si was leading the remnants of the army to flee towards Luoyang. According to reports from spies, Yang Ji at Jiguan sent no less than [-] cavalry in this battle.

After Dong Zhuo heard the news, he was furious and furious, but at the same time, there was a tinge of gratitude in his heart.

Fortunately, he returned to Luoyang, otherwise, he Dong Zhuo would have been flanked back and forth, and there was absolutely no possibility of escape.

Now that Guo Si is newly defeated, the princes at Hulao Pass don't know when they will attack the city.

At Hulao Pass, Dong Zhuo left only [-] defenders to deceive the Kwantung princes.

As long as the coalition forces attack the city, within a moment, they will know that the Hulaoguan army has withdrawn.

Now he doesn't dare to deal with Yang Ji, so he can only accept Li Ru's suggestion and give up Luoyang.

Before Yang Ji arrived in Luoyang, send away the ministers and the emperor as soon as possible. As for the wealth, you can take some, and the rest can only be reluctantly thrown away!

As a result, the Xiliang army began to get busy. After everything was ready, Yang Ji's army was less than twenty miles away from Luoyang.

Li Rusheng was afraid of being entangled by Yang Ji, so why would he dare to delay?So he ordered the soldiers to stuff the ministers who were pampered at ordinary times into the carriage like livestock.

Then Li Ru ordered several Xiliang soldiers behind him to set fire to the city in Luoyang City to stop Yang Ji's army.

After everything was properly ordered, a group of Xiliang troops hurriedly left Luoyang and headed towards Chang'an in the west.

Soon after Dong Zhuo left, Yang Ji led the army to the city of Luoyang.

Beside him, there are veteran Zhang Yi and a young scribe who is thin and thin, but his eyes are shining from time to time.

"Huh...it seems that Dong Zhuo has already left Luoyang!"

Veteran Zhang Yi couldn't help sighing, seeing that Luoyang City was still the same as before.

It is not the first time for Yang Ji to come to Luoyang, he has also been to Luoyang several times when he was working under He Jin's command.

Hearing Zhang Yi's exclamation, Yang Ji smiled slightly, and then spoke.

"Old General, I'd better take care of the lord's job as soon as possible. If it's too late, and wait for the Kwantung Allied Forces to enter Hulao Pass, wouldn't we have failed the lord's expectations?"

Zhang Yi nodded when he heard the words, and strangled all the thoughts in his mind. Now that the world is like this, it's up to Liu Yu to turn the tide.

"Little Six, the matter in Luoyang is over, why don't you return to Jinyang? Why don't you just stay by my side? If you agree, I will have the audacity to ask my lord!"

That young scribe was none other than Little Sixth Son. This time, he was sent to follow Yang Ji again.

Hearing Yang Jizhi's words, Little Six shook his head, and said to Yang Ji: "Little Six, thank you General for your kindness, but Little Six is ​​used to following the lord, even if it's just an errand, Little Six will enjoy it!"

Yang Ji shook his head when he heard the words, with regret on his face, this little six is ​​rigorous in doing things, flexible in mind, and never leaks in everything he does!

In Yang Ji's eyes, Little Six is ​​much better than those so-called famous officials!

Seeing the regret in Yang Ji's eyes, Little Six said again: "General Yang, the remnants of traitors, and the eyes and ears of spies from all over the country have been eliminated by Chief Shi A at this time. Let's do the task of taking over as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Yang Ji nodded, no longer hesitated, greeted a group of soldiers behind him, and rushed into Luoyang City with a murderous look.

After Yang Ji entered Luoyang, several members of the film department ran over and told him that Dong Zhuo had ordered people to set fire to Luoyang City in order to prevent Yang Ji from pursuing him.

But as soon as Dong Zhuo left, the fire was extinguished by members of the film department.

Hearing this, Yang Ji wished he could hug this member of the film department and kiss him!

Fortunately, the fire was extinguished, otherwise, the fire would really burn up and burn the city of Luoyang, Yang Ji would have to die, and he had repaid Liu Yu's kindness.

Yang Ji breathed a sigh of relief, but Little Six still had a calm expression on his face, as if he knew it would be like this.

Seeing this scene in Yang Ji's eyes, he felt that Little Six was unpredictable and seemed to keep him by his side.

It's not that Yang Ji has unreasonable thoughts, but that with such a smart and prudent person by his side, he can avoid making mistakes!

……

At this time, in the camp of the Kwantung Allied Army, a group of princes were sitting on the high platform with sad faces, discussing the countermeasures to break Hulao Pass.

Liu Yu's plan was very good, and it was implemented smoothly, and he was about to break through Hulao Pass in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo didn't know where he was, and he called in a large army for support. This made them fearful, but at the same time rejoicing.

If Dong Zhuo had sent out such a large army from the very beginning, it is estimated that their three 10,000+ infantry would really be unable to resist.

Just when everyone was frowning, Xu You behind Yuan Shao suddenly whispered something in Yuan Shao's ear, which made Yuan Shao's eyes light up, and then he looked at Liu Yu and asked.

"My lord, Shao heard that when you entered Luoyang, you entered Luoyang after leaving Shangdang and entering Jiguan. I don't know if you recognize the guard of Jiguan?!"

Liu Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, and pretended to be stupefied and said: "It is true that as Ben Chu said, at that time, my king forced him with a large army and promised him a lot of money. That's why Yang Ji let go of his mouth and let me enter the pass."

When Liu Yu said this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Yuan Shao and said anxiously: "Benchu! You want to..."

Seeing this, Yuan Shao slapped his thigh suddenly, and said excitedly.

"That's right! The prince's guess is exactly what Shao thought. Since Yang Ji is so greedy for money, why not wait for me to promise a lot of money, and then the prince is sending heavy troops to force him! Believe me, I will be able to enter Jiguan!"

Liu Yu laughed out loud when he heard the words, and praised Yuan Shao's good strategy again and again.

This made Yuan Shaole grieve from ear to ear, Liu Yu rarely praised others, what Liu Yu could praise, except for the hero among the people, was the fierce general!

"Then why didn't the prince directly attack Jiguan, but still come to the Suanzao Huimeng? If the prince had gone to Jiguan earlier, maybe I would already be in Luoyang by this time!"
