At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

Just as Xun You expected, this battle will greatly damage the morale of the coalition forces!

In the next few days, Yuan Shao was building the camp to boost morale, and did not attack Hulao Pass.

On the fifth day, Dong Zhuo finally arrived at Hulao Pass with his 40,000 troops.

"General Wei, you have worked so hard! Our family is ashamed to have made General Wei wait for three days!"

Dong Zhuo took the initiative to apologize for not hitting the smiling person with his hand, so naturally Liu Zhang couldn't be too fussy.

"It's okay, it's okay, if Dong Xiangguo comes a few days later, then Liu Zhang will have to abandon the pass!"

Dong Zhuo was so embarrassed that he could only laugh apologetically from the sidelines. Now that he is seriously short of soldiers and horses, and has no absolute advantage in military strength, Liu Zhang's attitude is even more important to him!

"Hehe, General Wei was joking, but our family heard that General Wei showed his might in front of Yuan Shao, beating up this traitor and fleeing in embarrassment!"

Dong Zhuo's eyes and ears were everywhere in Hulaoguan, so Dong Zhuo knew something, and Liu Zhang was not curious.

"Where is there, Dong Xiangguo, please."

In Hulaoguan Yamen, the small room already seemed a bit crowded. Dong Zhuo sat on the main seat impressively.

Liu Zhang voluntarily gave up the throne, and he didn't want to make trouble with Dong Zhuo because of these trivial matters. After all, things like defending the city can be avoided in the future.

However, Liu Zhang's status did not decline, he just sat on Dong Zhuo's lower head for a while, and they were the only two sitting in the whole room, and everyone else stood on both sides.

"General Wei, you know both Fengxian and Wenyou, let me introduce them to you."

As soon as Dong Zhuo finished speaking, two generals walked out from the left.

"This is Li Jue, and this is Guo Si, both are our family's confidant generals."

Li Jue and Guo Si bowed their hands together to salute Liu Zhang.

"Meet General Wei!"

Liu Zhang is naturally very familiar with the names of these two people, but it is indeed the first time they have met each other after so long.

"The two generals are exempt! I heard that there is an elite cavalry under Dong Xiangguo's command, called the Flying Bear Army. It must be under the command of the two generals, Li and Guo, right?"

"good!"

Dong Zhuo answered the questions for the two of them, waved his hand by the way, and the two returned to the team.

"This time our family brought 20,000 flying bear troops, 10,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry, and 10,000 infantry, just to beat Yuan Shao, who eats inside and out!"

Liu Zhang touched his chin lightly, did not take Dong Zhuo's words, but told him about the situation here.

"Dong Xiangguo, Yuan Shao claims to have an army of more than 200,000, which is really nonsense. According to my observations in the past few days, the coalition army should have around 150,000 troops."

"Fifteen thousand..."

There was a trace of sadness on Dong Zhuo's face, but Liu Zhang knew that Dong Zhuo must be faking it. Could he not know the situation here?

"That's right, Dong Xiangguo, the enemy army is powerful, if there is a strong attack, there will inevitably be accidents..."

Dong Zhuo could also see that Liu Zhang didn't want to go out of the city to fight Yuan Shao! However, Liu Zhang didn't use horses, how could he fight against an army of 150,000 with only 30,000 cavalry?

At this time Li Ru stood up and saluted Dong Zhuo and Liu Zhang.

"Dong Xiangguo, General Wei, there is an open area outside Hulao Pass, which is suitable for cavalry to attack! If you send out the Feixiong Army, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and General Wei's Wufeng Battalion cavalry, they will surely kill all directions!"

Li Ru's words just touched Dong Zhuo's heart. Just now Dong Zhuo hinted that he had been hinting at Liu Zhang and wanted him to bring it up by himself, but Liu Zhang didn't mean it at all.

"General Wei, what do you think? Are you willing to go out of the city to fight?"

I thought I had reached this point, even if Liu Zhang didn't want to agree, he would bite the bullet and agree, but Liu Zhang didn't think too much, so he refused directly.

"I do not want to."

"Why?"

Li Ru was the first to ask,

"It's true that the terrain outside Hulao Pass is open, but have you seen where Yuan Shao's camp is located?"

Liu Zhang glanced at Li Ru angrily, this guy is good at playing tricks, if he is on the march and fighting, Li Ru is really not good!

"What's wrong with that?"

Li Ru didn't understand Liu Zhang's meaning at all, but was rather dissatisfied with Liu Zhang's eyes.

"Hey, why don't you go to the city gate and have a look, 40,000 cavalry, don't say whether you can beat 150,000 horses, whether you can show it or not is another matter!"

Liu Zhang stood up, walked to the map behind him, and kept making gestures on the map with his hands.

"This is Hulao Pass, and this is Yuan Shao's camp. He happened to be in charge of the camp. Our pass is less than five hundred steps away from Yuan Shao's camp."

"Let's not talk about whether 40,000 cavalry can stand up to the five hundred steps. Even if they stand down, they will almost reach the gate of Yuan Shao's camp, right? How do you want to fight? Rushing into Yuan Shao's camp?"

Li Ru didn't expect this to happen, so he looked at Dong Zhuo again, and found that Dong Zhuo was also very worried.

"Dong Xiangguo, this Yuan Shao knows how powerful our cavalry is, so he didn't give us any room for our cavalry to use!"

"On the other hand, Yuan Shao can attack Hulao Pass at any time, and he can retreat to the camp, relying on the camp to block our attack."

After Liu Zhang explained this, everyone in the room understood.

"General Wei, isn't Yuan Shao invincible by doing this? Is it impossible to crack it?"

These obviously reached the blind spot of Li Ru's knowledge, and he could only seek to educate Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang gave Li Ru a strange look, as if looking at a fool!

"Brother Wen You, did you make a mistake? It is Yuan Shao and others who want to enter King Jingqin, so we should just stay here? Wouldn't it be better to stay the same?"

When Liu Zhang said this, everyone also reacted.

That's right, they don't need to worry at all, as long as they guard Hulao Pass, Yuan Shao can only stare blankly below.

"no!"

Dong Zhuo spoke directly, and directly denied Liu Zhang's plan.

"What does Dong Xiangguo mean?"

"General Wei doesn't know that there are 80,000 troops locked up in this tiger prison. Luoyang doesn't have so much food and grass supply, and the food and grass will be exhausted in a month at most! If we can't win Yuan Shao in a month, we have to retreat."

Dong Zhuo definitely had no shortage of food. He had robbed so much wealth in Luoyang, estimated to be no less than a million stones. How could he be short of food?

Liu Zhang also understood, no wonder Dong Zhuo was so anxious, it turned out that he was reluctant to part with his food!

"Dong Xiangguo, we have food pressure, so does Yuan Shao! He will have twice as much burden as us! As long as Yuan Shao runs out of food, they will definitely retreat. At that time, we will be able to win a big victory. !"

Dong Zhuo shook his head, how could he do such a loss-making business!

"Not necessarily. Jizhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou are all big grain-producing states. How can we compare with them?"

"Then I have no choice but to rely on Dong Xiangguo's clever plan!"

Since Dong Zhuo said that, Liu Zhang has no choice but to let him fight Yuan Shao, there must be no way!

Dong Zhuo glanced at Liu Zhang indifferently, but he didn't get angry. After all, it's a good time for Liu Zhang to be on the same front as him!

"Wen You, send a letter to Yuan Shao immediately, and invite him to a decisive battle tomorrow!"

"Obey!"

"By the way, doesn't he have a good relationship with Yuan Wei? Ask him if he wants Yuan Wei's head! Hmph, our family doesn't believe that he can bear it!"

Li Ru's eyes lit up, this is indeed a good way!

"General Wei, I invite you to meet Er Yuan with our family tomorrow!"

Liu Zhang nodded, probably tomorrow will be another day for fighting generals!

"no problem!"
