"Gentlemen, now that Dong Zhuo's thief is guarding Hulao Pass to the death and cannot get out. Hulao Pass is the most powerful pass in the world. It can be said that one man is in charge of the pass and no one can open it. I wonder how you can defeat the enemy?" Yuan Shao said with a hint of sadness.
These days, Yuan Shao has been tortured a lot.
Li Ru's plan to divorce was so obvious that Yuan Shao would not be easily stupid and do something he shouldn't have done. However, there are still knots in his heart, but before the petition for Dong Day is completed, Yuan Shao can only endure it even if he feels uncomfortable.
On Dong Zhuo's side, Li Ru also made one plan after another, and this plan was more straightforward than the last time, and the effect of alienation was more obvious.
A few days ago, several people who claimed to be angels came down from Hulao Gate and went to the camps of several small princes to issue imperial edicts. The changes in the distribution of official positions were jaw-dropping. Yuan Yi, the Prime Minister of Changshan, was moved to Jizhou Liu Bei, the governor and prime minister of Pingyuan, was moved to the governor of Yanzhou, Gongsun Zan, the governor of Qinghe, was moved to the governor of Youzhou, and Liu Dai, the pastor of Yanzhou, was demoted to the governor of Chenliu...
The most outrageous thing is that Yuan Shao's younger brother Yuan Shu was promoted from the rear general to the nondescript chariot general, directly riding on everyone's head, and was promoted from the position of Runan prefect to Yangzhou Mu.
There was a lot of excitement among the coalition forces this time, and those who had been promoted to official positions would naturally not let go of this pie falling from the sky. But these performances angered another group of people. After all, the territory where the official positions Dong Zhuo assigned to those in front were their territory.
Li Ru's plan was really vicious, and it directly brought all the princes to the edge of disintegration.
Yuan Shao also wanted to catch the person who planned the scheme. He wanted to catch him immediately and cut his body into pieces in front of him to vent his hatred, making him no longer a human being inside and outside.
However, fortunately, the coalition forces are not all those who only care about the small profits in front of them. Li Xiang, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Liu Yu, Liu Yu, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Tao Qian, who was influenced by Zhao Kuangyin, naturally would not let Li Ru's treacherous plan succeed like this.
Thanks to the efforts of these people, the coalition forces finally managed to maintain such a state without completely falling apart and returning to their respective homes.
The internal problems of the coalition forces have finally been suppressed, but the problems of Hulao Pass must also begin to be faced. If Dong Zhuo can't get out of Hulao Pass, it will be imperative to send troops to attack the pass by force.
But there is no need to think that this process will inevitably be accompanied by huge casualties. The princes with evil intentions will naturally not do such a thankless thing.
"Alliance leader, according to what Cao Cao has seen, an army can be sent from Hanoi to Mengjin. The Zizao armies will be stationed in Chenggao, occupy Aocang, and confront each other in Hulao. They will be responsible for containing Dong Zhuo's army at Hulao Pass and setting up camps at Xuanyuan and Taigu. We will seize control of the fortress, and then send another army from Nanyang to Dan and Xi, and enter Wuguan to attack Guanzhong. At that time, Dong Zhuo's rebels will be tired of dealing with attacks from all sides, and the situation will be decided by then." After Yuan Shao asked, Cao Cao immediately told him the countermeasures he had thought about for several days.
"Yes, what Brother Meng De said is reasonable. Let's not talk about the huge casualties we will have to pay if we stay here and attack Hulao Pass. With just one Hulao Pass, our coalition's more than 400,000 troops cannot be deployed at all. It is better to attack from multiple directions. As long as one of them can succeed, it will be equivalent to opening a gap in Dong Zhuo's defense, and then Dong Zhuo will be destroyed." Li Xiang's eyes flashed, and he expressed his agreement.
Li Xiang's words are reasonable. Hulao Pass is a famous pass in the world, easy to defend but difficult to attack. With the terrain of Hulao Pass, it is already the limit that can accommodate ten thousand people to attack each time. More than 400,000 troops cannot be deployed at all. Leaving so many troops here is just a waste, and it is impossible to obtain effective and reasonable attacks. utilization.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to divide the troops and attack. Not only can the troops be used rationally, but it can also induce Dong Zhuo to divide the troops from Hulao Pass to several other places, and maybe he can take advantage of the situation to find opportunities to attack the key points.
"Yes, we are dividing our forces to attack, which will definitely make Dong Zhuo's traitors tired of dealing with them. If we divide our forces, my Jingzhou Army can be responsible for the attack from Nanyang to Dan and Xi, and enter Wuguan to attack Guanzhong all the way." Liu Yu also expressed his opinions and took the initiative to take over the important tasks. But thinking about it, Nanyang is located in Jingzhou, and Liu Yu is indeed the best candidate.
"Everyone, does anyone have any different opinions on the division of troops?"
"I am willing to listen to the leader's orders."
"Okay, in that case, the route to Nanyang will be handed over to General Liu Yu." After Cao Cao proposed a countermeasure against Dong Zhuo, and because no one from the various princes was willing to take the initiative to stand up and oppose it, Yuan Shao immediately began to issue orders.
"The final general will live up to the alliance leader's trust!"
"The highway, Xuanyuan and Taigu will be left to you." Yuan Shao said here.
"The last general takes orders!" Although Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are brothers, Yuan Shu does not think highly of Yuan Shao in his heart. Now that he has the opportunity to act alone without Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu is naturally happy.
"Wentai, Gongxu, Meng Zhuo, Meng Gao, you guys can temporarily join the highway with your own troops!"
"We are willing to obey the leader's order!" Several people stood up and said.
"Zifeng, it will be left to Brother Zifeng to send troops from Hanoi to Mengjin." Li Xiang was originally the prefect of Hanoi, so Li Xiang was naturally the leader of this journey.
"I am willing to listen to the leader's orders!"
Even if Yuan Shao didn't take the initiative, Li Xiang would take the initiative to take over the task, just like Liu Yu took the initiative to take over the task in Nanyang.
Hanoi is Li Xiang's territory. If Li Xiang does not take over the task along the way, Li Xiang will not worry about other princes leading troops wandering around in his territory.
At that time, these princes will have some bad thoughts, and it will be Li Xiang who will be unlucky in the end. Since Liu Yu took the initiative to take over the task of Nanyang, he must have taken this factor into consideration.
In this aspect, Yuan Shao was very thoughtful and did not cause unnecessary trouble to everyone. Not only were the two routes Nanyang and Hanoi handed over to Liu Yu and Li Xiang, but even Yuan Shu sent to Xuanyuan and Taigu, almost most of them were local princes from Yuzhou.
What's more, although Li Xiang led the army to attack Mengjinguan, he was bound to pay some casualties, but if he could capture Mengjinguan and find a way to obtain Xiaopingjin, then the northern gateway to Luoyang would be almost in Li Xiang's hands.
And since Li Xiang is determined to capture Sili, he must capture the eight passes of Luoyang sooner or later, and this time is regarded as the first step.
