Different from the last time he conquered Xiliang, Sun Yu borrowed troops from Bingzhou to fight against the thieves, while his own people stayed in the capital to preserve their strength.
But this time the enemy is stronger, and Sun Yu doesn't have to worry about problems in the rear after leaving the capital.
Because he now has all the power and has confidants in charge.
Therefore, Sun Yu sent out all his elite troops this time, including 100,000 Yu Lin Lang, the Xiliang Army, the Imperial Forbidden Army, the Northern and Southern Army, etc.
Finally, including Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army, the total number was 200,000.
Known as two million, go straight to Hulao Pass!
Looking at the retreating figures of the army, Wang Yun and others stood on the top of the city with deep eyes.
"Oh, I just hope that Benchu and Mengde can win this time."
Wang Yun sighed quietly.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had an old relationship with him, and Wang Yun knew the strength of these two men.
"Eighteen princes have gathered outside the pass, a total of 400,000 people, and all the heroes of the world have arrived."
"Even if Sun Yu has eight heads and six arms, there is no way he can survive."
Taiwei Huang Wan comforted him softly.
"Hard to say~"
City Gate Captain Wu Qiong curled his lips, "Although Sun Yu is domineering, his martial arts are superb, and he is surrounded by a group of extremely vicious minions as his wings."
"Whether Yuan Benchu and the others are capable of annihilating Sun Yu is still unknown~"
Wu Qiong was like a basin of cold water poured on everyone.
They are now at the end of their rope and are completely helpless against Sun Yu. They can only pin their hopes on the princes outside the pass.
If even the princes outside Guan can't deal with Sun Yu, then he will be completely doomed.
The words are divided into two parts.
Cao Cao and others met with the eighteen princes in Dongjun. Seeing that everyone had arrived, they ordered people to kill cattle and sheep, hold a banquet to celebrate, and wash away the dust.
During the dinner, Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi, suggested:
"Now that we, the heroes of the world, have gathered here to start a great cause, we must establish an alliance leader and listen to the orders together."
"Let the princes be restrained, and then they can advance."
Everyone felt justified and began to discuss who should be the leader of the rebel alliance.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao got angry and said:
"Yuan Benchu, the fourth and third prince, has many old officials. He is a descendant of a famous prime minister in the Han Dynasty, so he can be the leader of the alliance."
Everyone agreed.
Yuan Shao excused himself:
"Shaode is short-witted, how can he serve as the leader of the rebel army?"
Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, said:
"Ben Chu is too polite. Your Yuan family name is resounding all over the world, and Ben Chu you are one of the best heroes in the world. You must be the leader of this alliance."
Yuan Shao once again gave way and asked everyone to find another wise man.
But everyone said that it must be the original one.
Three times in a row, Yuan Shao finally agreed.
Then he ordered people to build a three-story platform with flags from all directions, and built white and yellow axes and military symbols and general seals on top.
Yuan Shao dressed up and carried his sword, then stepped onto the altar with great enthusiasm, burned incense and prayed.
First worship the heaven, then worship the earth, and finally worship the ancestors.
Yuan Shao looked back at the princes in the audience, his eyes flashed, and he shouted loudly:
"Unfortunately for the Han Dynasty, the emperor lost control and his traitorous minister Sun Yu brought disaster to the Supreme Being. He bullied the Queen Mother and tortured all the ministers."
"Shao and others were afraid that the country would be lost, so they gathered volunteers to fight against the national calamity."
"All our allies will work together to achieve integrity, and we will never have two ambitions!"
"With this oath from Chongqing, heaven and earth will kill you, gods and men will be outraged!"
"Emperor, queen, earth, ancestors are wise, we all learn from this fact!"
An impassioned speech made everyone excited.
Everyone burst into tears and shouted after Yuan Shao:
"All our allies will work together to achieve integrity, and we will never have two ambitions!"
"..."
After taking the oath, the soldier brought a bowl of chicken blood.
The princes from all walks of life dipped their fingers in the blood and then smeared it on their faces.
This is blood-based alliance.
After the oath of alliance was completed, Yuan Shao came down from the altar and said to everyone:
"Since Shao is the leader of the alliance, those who have merit will be rewarded and those who have made mistakes will be punished. I hope you will abide by the discipline and do not violate it."
Everyone expressed their obedience.
Yuan Shao said again:
"My brother Yuan Shu, the governor, will definitely have no shortage of food and fodder for the camp. You can rest assured."
"It's just that if we want to attack Luoyang, we must first break through Hulao Pass. Our army lacks a vanguard to kill generals and perform meritorious service. I wonder who is willing to go?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, stepped forward:
"Strong will for the front."
Sun Jian has been famous for a long time. He broke through the Yellow Turbans and rebelled against Beigong Boyu in Liangzhou. He was one of the best heroes in the world.
Everyone was absolutely assured of his strength and expressed:
"Wen Tai is brave enough to take on this important task!"
So Sun Jian led his Jiangdong disciples and went straight to Hulao Pass to challenge.
Sun Yu had already been reported by a shooting star.
Sun Yu gathered the civil and military forces to discuss countermeasures.
"The rebels in Guandong want to attack our Hulao Pass. Who can be my frontline to resist the enemy?"
Sun Yu looked around and asked.
Xue Rengui's eyes were as bright as stars, and he stood out with his head held high:
"I have received great favor from the Prime Minister. I am willing to be the vanguard and kill all the heads of the group to present to the Prime Minister!"
Sun Yu is absolutely assured of Xue Rengui's ability.
Moreover, he didn't take him to quell the rebel bandits in Liangzhou last time, so he missed a round of military merit, which was detrimental to his ability to build his own wings.
So whatever you say this time must help him become famous and help him make meritorious deeds.
"Okay, I will make you the Grand Governor and lead an army of 50,000 horses and infantry to Hulao Pass to resist the enemy."
"The truth is that the army is gathering force and will arrive soon."
Someone from behind suddenly shouted loudly:
"How can I use a butcher's knife to cut a chicken? I don't have to worry about it. The governor will go there in person."
"I beheaded all the princes, just like searching for something from a bag!"
When everyone took a look, it turned out to be Hua Xiong, who had returned the day before yesterday.
Xue Rengui opened his eyes wide and shouted angrily:
"You dare to compete with me for credit?"
Hua Xiong cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare!"
Sun Yu laughed heartily, and it was not necessarily a bad thing for the soldiers to compete for credit. At least it proved that they were very positive and excited.
"You two don't have to argue. Hua Xiong can serve as the vanguard for Xue Rengui. You two can go together to resist the enemy."
The two generals handed over their hands together:
"As you command!"
Then he led 50,000 horses and rushed to Hulao Pass.
Among the coalition forces, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin thought about Sun Jian's bravery and was afraid that he would take the lead.
He secretly asked his younger brother Bao Zhong to lead 3,000 troops to Hulao Pass first.
Bao Zhong led three thousand elites and took a small road to the pass to fight.
When Xue Rengui heard the report, he ordered Hua Xiong to go to war.
Hua Xiong immediately took five hundred flying bear cavalry and flew down from the pass.
"The thief will leave!"
Hua Xiong shouted sharply and rushed to kill Bao Zhong.
Bao Zhong saw Hua Xiong's momentum and was about to retreat, but Hua Xiong caught up with him.
He raised his sword and fell it, killing him under the horse.
Bao Jun was horrified, Hua Xiong took advantage of the situation to cover up the enemy, killed countless enemies, and captured many generals alive.
Hua Xiong then sent someone to encapsulate Bao Zhong's head and present it to Xue Rengui to report his victory.
Xue Rengui also sent the flying cavalry general's head to Sun Yu and asked for credit for Hua Xiong.
Bao Zhong was beheaded and the news reached Sun Jian. Sun Jian was shocked when he heard the news.
He immediately rushed to Hulao Pass to challenge.
He has four capable men under his command——
Cheng Pu, a native of Peiping, made an iron-spine snake spear
Huang Gai, a native of Lingling, made an iron whip.
Han Dang, a native of western Liaoning, used a broadsword.
Zu Mao, a native of Wu County, was able to wield two swords in one hand.
