Chapter 311: Hua Xiong's Challenge

An army of one million is scary to hear.

At this time, the land of Huaxia has a population of more than 30 million, and an army of one million is nothing.

An army of one million besieged Dong Zhuo. Even if Dong Zhuo was powerful, the pressure would be very heavy.

Sure enough, Dong Zhuo lost his temper every day, and I don't know how many court ladies suffered.

Within two days, all the princes of the Eighteenth Route arrived on the battlefield.

The difference is that the eighteen princes are different from those in history.

Because Ma Teng was fighting for power with Han Sui, he was inseparable at this time and did not come.

And it was Liu Bei who replaced him.

At this time, Liu Bei openly appeared among the allied forces with more than 10,000 troops and became a member of the allied forces.

After Liu Bei escaped from Luoyang, he occupied several county towns, developed there for more than two months, and recruited thousands of troops.

"Liu Bei, a high-level speculator, is really capable." Zhang Yu said.

The princes from all walks of life arrived, and then Yuan Shao officially became the leader without any refusal. However, he did not give orders immediately and started to attack Hulao Pass. Instead, he entertained the princes in the camp as in history, and had a feast day and night.

However, the allied army has just formed, so it is normal to have to adjust it a bit, and many of their soldiers have just been recruited and have not been trained much.

But Zhang Yu knew that Yuan Shao was just trying to confuse his qualifications and reputation, and he didn't really want to attack Luoyang.

It is naturally best to be able to attack, and the goal can be achieved if the attack is not successful.

"My lord, Hulao Pass was occupied by us for a period of time. It was too strong. If we wanted to attack it, we might not be able to take it down with an army of 500,000. Of course there are many allies, but we don't have many." Guo Jia said.

"We have to find a way to attack Dong Zhuo while preserving our strength," Zhang Yu said.

So, Zhang Yu and Guo Jia began to discuss.

The two studied the map for three days.

"My lord, although this method is risky, it can hit Dong Zhuo. It's just that the distance is far away, there is no logistical support, and the army goes deep alone. It is too dangerous." Guo Jia said after hearing Zhang Yu's plan to surprise Dong Zhuo's rear.

"I will take care of the logistics, but this is not a good time for a surprise attack, so I have to wait for the best time," Zhang Yu said.

Seeing that Zhang Yu was sure, Guo Jia didn't say much.

Zhang Yu asked Zhang Ning to collect all relevant information to prepare for the war.

After more than ten days, the Allied forces began to take action.

The Allied forces began to attack, and Sun Jian set out to attack Hulao Pass as the vanguard.

Afterwards, the Allied forces also followed, preparing for a large army to suppress the border.

"The army is moving out, so let's go together." Zhang Yu said when he saw the allied army moving.

Zhang Yu's army slowly pressed forward, not very far away from the Allied army's army, advancing side by side.

The allied army also discovered this situation, but Zhang Yu had a sense of righteousness and obeyed the late emperor's will, so even if Yuan Shao had great power, he did not dare to do anything to Zhang Yu at this time.

The news came quickly, and Sun Jian attacked several checkpoints in a row, gradually gaining momentum.

But Zhang Yu knew that Yuan Shu and others would do bad things soon.

Sure enough, Yuan Shu cut off Sun Jian's food and grass, so he failed in the end and had to retreat.

Sun Jian was furious and made a big fuss when he came back, but Yuan Shao deliberately favored him and let it go.

"My lord, the allied army is like this. I think this matter of begging Dong will end in failure in the end." Guo Jia said.

Success and failure are not particularly important to everyone, what matters is what you get in this battle.

Let's see how they fight.

Zhang Yu ignored the internal disputes of the Allied Forces, and he maintained the trend of advancing side by side with the Allied Forces.

On this day, Zhang Yu and the others set up camp, and soon Cao Cao brought a few people over.

"Brother Zifan, long time no see." Cao Cao said after meeting.

"Brother Meng De dares to come to see me, not afraid that your leader will have opinions." Zhang Yu said in a nonchalant manner.

Cao Cao shook his head helplessly. Now the allied forces seem to be strong, but there are many internal contradictions. Otherwise, Sun Jian would not be defeated and would not receive support, and even lost one of his generals.

"Brother Zifan,

What do you think of the current situation? " Cao Cao asked.

"With concerted efforts, Luoyang can be defeated in a month. If we can't, then we will fail." Zhang Yu said.

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Looks like I shouldn't have come this time. I didn't expect Brother Zifan to be so pessimistic. I wonder what Brother Zifan's plan is?"

"Following the orders of the saints, even if you risk your life, you must defeat Dong Zhuo," Zhang Yu said.

Seeing that Zhang Yu couldn't tell the truth, Cao Cao felt bored, so he went back after chatting with Zhang Yu for a while.

The two armies were several miles apart, and each sent scouts to see each other's situation.

The allied army has hundreds of thousands of troops, Zhang Yu's 50,000 troops seem a little small.

After that, the Allied forces arrived at Hulao Pass, and the Allied forces and the Xiliang Army began to confront each other.

Soon, the Allied forces began to attack.

One day, the allied forces were discussing in the camp, and a soldier came in and reported, "To the lord, Hua Xiong is here to challenge."

Hua Xiong is a mighty general from Xiliang, and the allied forces paid attention to this challenge.

"Who dares to fight?" Yuan Shao said loudly while sitting in the front seat.

Yu She, a general under Yuan Shao's camp, came out and said, "The young general is willing to go and behead Hua Xiong."

Yuan Shao was overjoyed and agreed with Yu She to go.

Seeing the long faces of his subordinates, Yuan Shu said proudly, "Although Hua Xiong has some reputation, he is just ignorant in the wild land of Xiliang."

Yuan Shu spoke sarcastically, ridiculing because people in remote places have little knowledge.

Some of the feudal lords agreed with Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu felt very honored.

Yuan Shu respected everyone and said, "When Hua Xiong's head is taken, he must be hung up to let the Xiliang army know the majesty of the allied army."

Yuan Shu was talking about the prestige of the allied forces, but he was actually talking about his own prestige.

But just after everyone finished drinking, a soldier ran in and said, "Report to the lord, Yu Shezhan was beheaded by Hua Xiong within three rounds."

Hearing this, many people peeked at Yuan Shu from the corner of their eyes, and found that Yuan Shu's face had completely darkened.

The words just now are still in my ears, but now the slap in the face is so fast.

Yuan Shu was ashamed and dared not speak any more.

Yuan Shao's complexion was also not very good, and he hurriedly said: "Who is going to kill Hua Xiong."

Han Fu came out and said, "I have General Pan Feng, who can kill Hua Xiong."

Yuan Shao was overjoyed and quickly let him play.

This time Han Fu didn't dare to brag like Yuan Shu did, but he also had expectations in his heart.

Hua Xiong is known as the number one general in Xiliang, if he can be beheaded, he will definitely become famous.

"Report~"

There was another anxious call from outside the tent, and everyone felt their hearts tense. Sure enough, the soldiers came in and said, "To the lord, General Pan Feng was beheaded by Hua Xiong. Disband."

"Boom~"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately became furious.

"Whoever kills Hua Xiong, I will remember his great achievements."

Everyone bowed their heads quickly, not daring to speak.
