Soon, Yan Liang and Wen Chou also arrived at the Allied camp. They escorted the last batch of grain and grass from Jizhou and handed it over to Yuan Shao. This is why they did not show up when Hua Xiong challenged them before.
but. Yuan Xi knew his father. According to Yuan Shao's usual style, he sent Yan Liang and Wen Chou to escort the grain and grass. There must be something interesting here.
Otherwise, why bother letting the two generals go with their talents but not their talents? However, although Yuan Xi had some guesses, he was not sure what they were.
While the allies were busy attacking Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao had already begun to plot Han Fu's hometown in Jizhou.
For more than 150 years, the Yuan family has lived in Han Dynasty and received the emperor's favor. For more than 150 years, there is no one like him in any family in the world.
However, three generations of Yuan Wei, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Xi have been engaged in stealing the country.
Although Emperor Ling failed the people, he did not fail the Yuan family. This Yuan family is really, haha.
Yuan Xi: Father, please don’t worry about my grandfather’s affairs.
Yuan Shao: Alas, it's okay. My son has something to say.
Yuan Xi: Going back to my father, I want to go to Hulao Pass and follow the generals to see the world.
Yuan Shao: I thought that for any important matter, my father would take care of it.
Yuan Xi: Thank you very much, father. I will definitely not disgrace him.
Yuan Shao: It’s good that my son has gained experience, but you ask Xu Chu to take five hundred elite troops and go with your own troops. Remember not to be rash and impulsive.
Yuan Xi: Father, don’t worry, the child will act cautiously.
In any case, Yuan Shao is a good father. Without Yuan Shao's protection from wind and rain, Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Xi would not be able to get up. Yuan Shao is the one who cuts thorns.
As the first generation, Yuan Shao, the pioneer, has done all kinds of deceitful and dirty things. Without Yuan Shao, who opened the way, how could Yuan Xi, the second generation, the founder, be so glorious and positive.
Just before the Battle of Hulao started, Li Ru suggested to Dong Zhuo that he would breach the Yellow River and flood the Allied forces. Dong Zhuo was moved at first.
However, after much hesitation, he rejected Li Ru's suggestion, because although Dong Zhuo was a bastard, he still had a bottom line.
What's more, it's not very economical to kill one thousand people and lose eight hundred to oneself. He still has a way out, but it's not that far yet, right?
The two strategies of water and fire have been the most dangerous since ancient times. If you don't use them unless you have to, you will easily lose your life. This is true of Li Ruzhen.
Although it is true that Dong Zhuo is the Great Demon King, he also grew up in Kansai and is a generous person.
Compared to Yuan Shao, who dominated the court and was good at power and strategy, Dong Zhuo retained a certain simplicity.
In 190 AD, during this period, Wang Kuang was ordered by Yuan Shao to lead a partial army westward along the Yellow River to attack Hanoi to contain Luoyang. However, Li Ru arranged in advance and was discovered by Mengjin's defenders, Li Meng and Wang Fang. , so after a fierce battle, the Allied forces were defeated. Wang Kuang led the remaining troops and quickly retreated to the south bank.
This Li Ru is indeed as smart as a monster. It's a pity. If Dong Zhuo didn't fall in the end, their combination would at least be able to strengthen Qin.
Yuan Xi: Wenyuan, what do you think our allies’ chances of winning this time when we attack Hulao Pass?
Zhang Liao: Returning to the Young Master, the Liao Dynasty does not dare to speak loudly about this matter, but I have a close friendship with the Young Master and was recommended by the Young Master, so I will tell you the truth. According to the Liao Dynasty, our army has little chance of winning, and even if we win, it will be a tragic victory.
Yuan Xi: Oh? Is that so? Wenyuan, please explain to me in detail.
Zhang Liao: Young Master, our army's strategy is generally correct, but it ignores the strength of the soldiers on both sides. Moreover, Dong Jun is stationed in Hulao and occupies a favorable location, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the Allies become exhausted, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry will take the opportunity to kill them. Once out of the border, it will be difficult for our army to resist.
Yuan Xi: Could it be that Dong Jun is really difficult to compete with?
The Xiliang Army was the frontier army of the Han Dynasty. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it basically fought every day. It was the best among the best.
In prosperous times, the Xiliang Army would be the pride of the Han Dynasty, but this is a troubled time, right? The Xiliang Army is destined to become a sharp knife in the struggle for hegemony among the princes.
The Xiliang army will also lose their faith, and the light in their eyes will gradually dim.
