"Please tell Marquis Du Ting, the lord of the alliance agrees to his proposal and asks his subordinates to make way for a passage.

After careful consideration, Yuan Shao agreed to Lu Bu's proposal without any surprise.

Things were not unexpected, Yuan Shao finally agreed.

"I also ask the lord to order, let the soldiers remove the horses and antlers now, and fill up the pits and trenches that are trapped in the horses."

"As far as the eye can see, these jobs can be done before dawn."

"At that time, the leader can directly launch an attack on Hulao Pass, and I will follow the trend.

"You and I each have what we need, and we can achieve each other." Zhang Liao made a request.

The reason why Zhang Liao made such a request was because Lu Bu was worried that Yuan Shao would be dishonest.

In case Zhang Liao had just left, Yuan Shao would contact other princes and set up a net, then it would be miserable.

Therefore, there was no time for Yuan Shao to play tricks, so Zhang Liao stayed here to oversee the work. After Yuan Shao's side withdrew the fortifications, Zhang Liao would return to the city to inform Lu Bu.

By that time, the fortifications were all withdrawn, and Yuan Shao made temporary arrangements to notify other princes to intercept Lu Bu, and it was completely too late in time.

After Zhang Liao returned to the city, Lu Bu would come out of the city directly.

"It seems that Marquis Du Ting has capable people around him!" Yuan Shao understood Zhang Liao's intention and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

This is not surprising, Lu Bu's image to the world is that of an ordinary man, and it is impossible for him to have such a resourceful strategy. Yuan Shao took it for granted that this strategy was conceived by others.

If Lu Bu was really wise, he wouldn't be a house slave with three surnames.

Not to mention Yuan Shao, even before Zhang Liao left the city, after listening to Lu Bu explain his plan and speech, he was stunned by Lu Bu's idea, and he didn't expect to be able to operate like this.

In terms of intelligence alone, Lu Bu's 80 points of intelligence are actually much lower than Zhang Liao's.

But he couldn't stand the blessing of the traverser and spend Lu Bu's life in a dream.

Counting it as a man of the third generation, he can definitely be called experienced.

Lu Bu is also very familiar with the nature of the Eighteenth Route princes, so he can naturally come up with targeted strategies.

"Leader, there is no need to delay the matter, please give the order quickly." Zhang Liao urged after leaving.

Yuan Shao nodded, signaling to the soldiers on the side to deliver orders.

"Leader, the matter is of great importance, do you mind being supervised?" Zhang Liao asked.

"As you wish." Yuan Shao was very generous.

Now that they have decided to cooperate, it is natural to show their sincerity so that the cooperation can continue.

Anyway, Yuan Shao didn't intend to play tricks, so it's better to let Zhang Liao supervise them generously, so as to gain mutual trust.

"By the way, the leader of this alliance is rather curious about something." Yuan Shao said suddenly.

"The lord, but it doesn't matter."

"I don't know what you said about the leaders of the five thousand Xiliang army...?" Yuan Shao asked with doubts in his heart.

Yuan Shao was already moved by the pass of a tiger prison, and with the addition of these five thousand heads, Yuan Shao finally made up his mind to cooperate with Lu Bu.

But Yuan Shao was more curious about the source of these five thousand heads.

"Marquis Du Ting's subordinates are all Bingzhou soldiers, and the five thousand Xiliang troops were left behind by Dong Zhuo." Zhang Liao didn't hide anything.

Just like Yuan Shao showed sincerity and agreed to Zhang Liao's supervision, Zhang Liao can also show sincerity appropriately.

What's more, people outside don't know what happened inside Hulao Pass.

No one knows whether the five thousand Xiliang troops are dead or alive.

From Yuan Shao's point of view, only after the cooperation was reached and Zhang Liao went back to inform Lu Bu would Lu Bu surrender to the Xiliang army.

"Interesting, seeing that the relationship between Du Tinghou and Dong Thief is not as simple as the superficial father-son relationship." Yuan Shao chuckled lightly.

"The surname of Du Tinghou is Lu, and Dong Zhuo's surname is Dong. How can there be a father-son theory?" Zhang Liao asked rhetorically.

"What the general said is very true." Yuan Shao nodded slightly, expressing his agreement with Zhang Liao's statement.

"Marquis Duting and Marquis Dong Zhuo are not father and son, but the leader of the alliance has a blood feud with Dong Zhuo. Maybe the leader and Marquis Duting will become friends in the future, just like this cooperation, it is very pleasant." Zhang Liao pointed out.

The enmity between Dong Zhuo and the Yuan family was very great. Before Dong Zhuo went to war, Yuan Kai's family in the capital was exterminated.

Send my regards to Du Tinghou, the leader of this alliance is very happy to make friends with such a hero as Du Tinghou. "Yuan Shao said immediately.

Since he knew that the relationship between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo was not harmonious, Yuan Shao didn't mind getting in touch with Lu Bu.

"Be sure to bring it, and I will leave at the end." Zhang Liao bowed his hands and withdrew from Yuan Shao's military tent.

After leaving, Zhang Liao started wandering around Yuan Shao's barracks, supervising the soldiers below to withdraw the fortifications, while planning the retreat route in his mind.

In the military tent, after Zhang Liao left, Yuan Shao sat in his seat and meditated.

After a while, Yuan Shao spoke to his soldiers and said, "Go, call the road to me."

After thinking about it, Yuan Shao decided to tell Yuan Shu the matter.

At this time, the Yuan family brothers hadn't broken their faces, and they were still able to exert all their strength for the benefit of the family.

The Yuan brothers turned against each other because of the emperor's issue.

Yuan Shao was in Hebei and wanted to support Liu Yu as emperor, while Yuan Shu in Huainan wanted to proclaim himself a minister.

It was for this matter that the Yuan family brothers turned against each other.

Prior to this, the two had only had a bad relationship, but they also admitted that they were brothers.

Not long after, Yuan Shu came to Yuan Shao's military tent.

As soon as he entered the door, Yuan Shu complained, "What's the matter with disturbing dreams in the middle of the night?"

Yuan Shao didn't care too much, he knew Yuan Shu's virtue, so he immediately talked about his cooperation with Lu Bu.

"Tsk!" Yuan Shu stopped drowsy instantly after hearing this, "This is a good thing!"

"This time we sent troops to attack Dong Zhuo, isn't it just to make a name for yourself?"

"This Han Dynasty is about to be ruined, who has the time to help the Han Dynasty?"

"Since the troops were dispatched, the limelight has been snatched away by that guy, Sun Jian. Our brothers have not made any achievements, and we have even taken in a lot of money and food for soldiers and horses."

"If the matter of cooperating with Lu Bu is successful, and our brothers break through the Hulao Pass and behead five thousand people, once the news spreads, it will be a great thing for our brothers and the Yuan family, and it will definitely cause great harm. The response has attracted countless talents to join our family."

After hearing this, Yuan Shu directly expressed his support for cooperating with Lu Bu.

"Furthermore, we have a grudge against Dong Zhuo, but we have nothing against Lu Bu."

"From what you said just now, Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo seem to be at odds with each other. This is also a good thing for us."

"Then Lu can't kill one adoptive father, maybe he can kill a second adoptive father, maybe he can help avenge his uncle."

Seeing that Yuan Shu had no objection, Yuan Shao said: "I have agreed to cooperate.

"After dawn, the two of us will join forces to attack Hulao Pass."

Daylight dawns, and the night passes.

Zhang Liao checked carefully, and confirmed that Yuan Shao's soldiers did not play tricks, and really opened up a passage.

The horses and antlers were removed, and the trenches and horse traps were also buried, so that the horses would not stumble.

"Go and tell Leader Yuan to get him ready." Zhang Liao told a soldier, and then left straight away, heading towards the Hulaoguan city wall.

When Zhang Liao came under the city wall, the soldiers at the head of the city had already discovered Zhang Liao's trail, put down the hanging basket and pulled Zhang Liao up.

Although it was dawn, it was just dawn, and the sky was still a bit gloomy, so Zhang Liao, who was sitting in a hanging basket, might not be visible.

What's more, even if someone sees it, what's the problem? Anyway, I'm leaving soon.

If he was really seen, Yuan Shao should be the one who should have a headache, and it has nothing to do with Hulao Pass.

After climbing to the top of the city, he hurried out to find Lu Bu.

"Your Majesty, we have already discussed with Yuan Shao. As you expected, Yuan Shao agreed to our terms." Zhang Liao absolutely admired Lu Bu from the bottom of his heart.

Zhang Liao really didn't expect that Lu Bu, who was originally thoughtless and irritable, would now develop in the direction of both civil and military skills.

"Hurry up and eat, we are going to leave after eating, the army is ready." Lu Bu smiled and handed Zhang Liao a bowl of hot porridge.

"Thank you, Junhou." Zhang Liao didn't eat all night, and he was really hungry now.

At this time, nothing can make Zhang Lie feel more comfortable than a bowl of hot porridge.

After Zhang Liao was overwhelmed by the wind and the clouds were gone, the two left the residence after eating.

At this moment, under the dispatch of Xu Rong and Gao Shun, the army had already assembled, and they all lined up in front of the city gate. They rushed out of the city just after Lu Bu gave an order.

Originally, Lu Bu had 3,000 Bingzhou cavalry, and there were 1,000 casualties in the First World War, of which 500 were killed in battle, and the remaining 500 wounded were cured under Lu Bu's treatment.

After slaughtering the Xiliang army, Lu Bu had another five thousand horses.

Bingzhou men live in the border, especially in the northern part of Bingzhou, north of Yanmen Pass. They have to fight with barbarians in the grassland all year round, and they are all skilled in bowing and horses.

Five thousand soldiers skilled in bow and horse were selected from the army, and Lu Bu immediately had five thousand more cavalry under his command.

With 2,500 cavalry, plus 5,000 cavalry, Lu Bu now has 7,500 cavalry, which is quite a force.

In addition, there is also Gao Shun's two thousand trapped camp.

On the contrary, Zhang Liao, who originally commanded the most troops, now has more than 3,000 men under his command.

Before the expedition, there were 15,000 Bingzhou generals under Lu Bu's command.

Adding them all together now, there are only 13,000 people at most.

Two battles broke out at Hulao Pass, and the loss of two thousand soldiers was inevitable.

In order not to cause casualties to his subordinates, Lu couldn't figure out a way to cooperate, and sold Hulao Pass and the five thousand heads to Yuan Shao in exchange for the chance for his subordinates to leave safely.

Otherwise, most of Lu Bu's subordinates would die if they really rushed to break through.

Although 2,000 soldiers were still dead, there were 5,000 more cavalry.

Although the number of Lu Bu's subordinates has decreased, their combat power has undoubtedly become stronger.

"Order, when we break out later, the cavalry will lead the way, but the speed should not be too fast, so as not to leave the infantry behind."

"Don't take the initiative to attack the coalition forces, but if the opponent dares to take the initiative to attack, you don't have to show mercy and go all out to break through.

0...asking for flowers...

Lu Bu is also prepared for any danger, and will not trust the other party 100% completely.

After the military order was issued, the army stood ready and remained silent.

I don't know how long it took to come, but suddenly there was the sound of war drums outside the city.

"Boom boom boom․.."

Hulaoguan did not open the city gate immediately, but continued to stand still.

Open the city gate at this time, no matter whether Yuan Shao has a wrong mind or not, if the soldiers outside the city see the city gate open and rush in through the city gate, blocking Lu Bu and others in the city, that would be too bad.

The soldiers under the command of the Yuan family brothers outside the city were carrying ladders and charging towards Hulao Pass.

When these people came to the bottom of the city wall and began to climb up the ladder, the soldiers who were watching from the head of Hulaoguan hurried down.

"My lord, the soldiers outside the city began to climb the ladder, but there were no soldiers near the city gate, leaving a passage."

Lu is not afraid of Yuan Shao playing tricks, but Yuan Shao is also afraid of Lu not playing tricks.

Yuan Shao knows exactly what kind of terrifying combat power Lu Bu is, and he has absolutely no interest in fighting against Lu Bu.

Sun Jian was beaten and wiped out, and Yuan Shao had no intention of fighting Lu Bu at all.

After Lu Bu heard it, he stopped waiting and ordered loudly: "Open the city gate and charge!"

"Boom!"

The huge Hulaoguan city gate slowly opened.

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao took the lead and came out of the city first.

The former army cavalry was commanded by Lu Bu himself, while Zhang Liao was familiar with the situation outside the city and followed Lu Bu as a guide.

Xu Rong is in charge of the Chinese army, and finally it is the trap camp of the high-quality belt.

On the battlefield, a strange scene appeared.

The Bingzhou Army in Hulao Pass charged out along the unmanned passage.

And Yuan Jun's soldiers, like blind men, couldn't see them at all, just climbed up the ladder to Hulaoguan.

The well water of the two does not interfere with the river water, and each performs its own duties, so it is orderly.

Under Zhang Liao's guidance, the road was unimpeded, and Lu Bu quickly jumped out of the encirclement and escaped successfully.

"Keep going, don't stop, to prevent the princes from catching up, let's go back to Luoyang first." Lu Bu issued a military order.

The army did not stop, and marched rapidly towards Luoyang.

At this moment, the Hulao Pass has been completely occupied by the Yuan brothers.

When Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao saw the 5,000 corpses in the city, they both showed joy.

"This guy Lu Bu has quite a reputation." Yuan Shu was amazed.

"Hurry up!" Yuan Shao hurriedly said: "Let our soldiers get some blood on their bodies, so that no one can see it at a glance, then it's not easy to fool them."

The other princes didn't know what happened at first, but they soon noticed that at the top of Hulao Pass, the big banner with the word "目" had disappeared, and it was replaced by

A big banner with the word "Yuan" was raised.

Afterwards, the princes received the news that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers raided Hulao Pass and won the first battle. They successfully captured Hulao Pass and killed 5,000 Xiliang bandits.

As soon as this news came out, there was an uproar among the princes for a while.

It was really a surprise. No one expected that the Hulao Pass guarded by Lu Bu would suddenly be breached by the Yuan brothers at this time.

However, the facts were in front of them, and when the princes entered Hulao Pass and saw the corpses of the five thousand Xiliang soldiers, they had no choice but to believe this fact.

Sun Jian, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei gathered together and whispered to each other.

"You two, why do I feel that something is wrong with this?"

Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, and he couldn't understand at all that the Yuan Jun brothers were able to break through Hulao Pass.

Sun Jian was also full of doubts, but he had no choice, because he had attacked this place twice.

Sun Jian undoubtedly has the most right to say how difficult it is to fight Hulao Pass twice.

But now Hulao Pass was captured by the Yuan brothers, especially from the sound of the war drums to the time when everyone entered Hulao Pass, it took less than half an hour.

In such a short period of time, Hulao was taken down, and it must be abnormal to think about it with your toes.

Sun Jian couldn't help squatting down and "touched the blood on the ground with his fingers.

"It's not right, the blood is cold." Sun Jian whispered to the two.

People were killed in the middle of the night, and the blood of five thousand Xiliang soldiers flowed into rivers. It seemed that the scene was very real, and there was no problem.

But it was already early in the morning, and the hot blood must have been completely cooled.

If these soldiers were killed by the Yuan brothers' troops, then the blood that flowed out of them must have been warm just after they died.

But the bloodstains on the battlefield had already cooled completely, which meant that the person must not have just died, but had been dead for a while.

Liu Bei and Cao Cao also understood what Sun Jian meant when they heard the words, and they were even more sure that there was something wrong with this matter.

Sun Jian couldn't help rubbing the sand in his eyes, and couldn't help asking loudly:

"Dare to ask the lord how the two of you broke through the Hulao pass. The general is really curious, and I hope the lord will tell you a thing or two."

As soon as this remark came out, all the princes couldn't help looking at the Yuan family brothers, waiting for the Yuan family brothers to explain what they did. .
