261. Before Hulao Pass, the hell on earth!
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he thought for a long time and said, "Even if we can beat Liu Zhe, there will definitely be heavy casualties. If we are unable to deal with Yuan Benchu and others, we must not let them benefit from the fisherman in their left hand. But the second one is that I am afraid that Liu Zhe will not keep his promise and cannot trust him."
"Lord, leave this matter to the son-in-law. The son-in-law personally went to confirm whether Liu Zhe would abide by the agreement." Seeing that Dong Zhuo was inclined to have a second choice, Li Ru recommended himself to meet Liu Zhe.
Dong Zhuo said: "Okay, I'll ask my son-in-law to do this."
Under Dong Zhuo's entrustment, Li Ru set out overnight and he soon met Liu Zhe.
"Li Ru, this is our second meeting, right?"
Liu Zhe sat in the upper head, Dian Wei stood behind, Guo Jia and Chen Gong were beside him, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun stood beside him.
The arrangement was murderous, and Li Ru was secretly shocked to see it.
"I've met the Grand Marshal."
Li Ru bowed to Liu Zhe. No matter how angry Dong Zhuo hated Liu Zhe, Li Ru bowed to Liu Zhe when he saw Liu Zhe.
"Dong Zhuo sent you here, but is planning to decide to send the Red Rabbit Horse?" Liu Zhe asked with a smile! In his words, he had no respect for Dong Zhuo, the prime minister.
In fact, Liu Zhe was also depressed. He thought that after breaking through the Hulao Pass, the system would take the initiative to send the Red Rabbit Horse to him, but later he found out that he still wanted him to ask for it. Just like before, the system would only give some tips, and he would still ask him to recruit it himself.
Dong Zhuo is his lord and his father-in-law. Liu Zhe's rude name made him angry. But even if he was angry, he had to endure it.
"My lord and the Taiwei are old friends. If the Taiwei wants it, just say something. Why bother to make a big move and let the soldiers below die in vain?"
Li Ru paused, sorted out his thoughts, and continued: "But before sending the Red Rabbit Horse, my lord needs to verify the contents of the letter from the Taiwei. After sending the Red Rabbit Horse, will the Taiwei keep his promise?"
Liu Zhe said lightly: "We also need to add Hua Xiong's family. As long as we do the above two points, I will not follow the coalition forces to attack Dong Zhuo."
Sure enough, Li Ru thought to himself that Hua Xiong had indeed rebelled.
After getting the guarantee from Liu Zhe, Li Ru rushed back to Dong Zhuo.
After learning that Liu Zhe would not take action, Dong Zhuo immediately sent Chitu Horse and Hua Xiong's family to Liu Zhe, and then he was ready to deal with the coalition forces against Dong.
On Yuan Shao's side, after learning that Dong Zhuo led his troops out of Luoyang, he also quickly deployed, and the soldiers of various princes began to gather.
Dong Zhuo has an army of 300,000, of which the Western Liang cavalry have 200,000. His combat power can be said to be the strongest in the world except Liu Zhe.
But Yuan Shao didn't think so. The combined total of 500,000 and 600,000 soldiers and motors of various princes on his side was almost twice that of Dong Zhuo.
If there are so many people, you can kill you. This is Yuan Shao’s idea. In Yuan Shao’s opinion, fighting is about who has more people.
In the coalition forces, all the princes were also enthusiastic. After the nail house in Hulaoguan was pulled out, Luoyang was like a young lady who took off all her clothes, and they could get as they wanted.
So many people fought for the position of Pioneer, and were finally captured by Hanoi Prefect Wang Kuang.
Yuan Shao ordered the vanguard to go first, and the other princes had their own tasks to capture the county town near Luoyang.
Wang Kuang then ordered his general Fang Yue to lead the army forward. He led the central army behind the hall, less than ten miles away, and rushed in front of him to report that he encountered Dong Zhuo's army. Fang Yue had already started fighting with Dong Zhuo's army.
Wang Kuang did not take it seriously and ordered some troops to go for reinforcements. However, shortly after the reinforcements set out, Meteor Malay reported that Fang Yue was defeated and killed, and Dong Zhuo's army had arrived.
Wang Kuang was panicked. Will he lose so quickly?
He could not bear to think too much. Dong Zhuo's Xiliang cavalry had arrived, and Wang Kuang was just a civil servant and had not been to the battlefield to fight. In this case, he didn't know what to do.
So, Wang Kuang quickly issued a withdrawal and took the order. The Western Liang cavalry was so fierce. The Hanoi army could no longer resist it, and it became even more chaotic when retreating. The Western Liang cavalry was as smooth as the road was rushing, killing the Hanoi army to cry and shouting at their parents, and running away desperately.
Fortunately, Qiao Mao and Yuan Yi, who were supporting each other, led the army to rescue him, otherwise Wang Kuang would be the first prince to die at the hands of Dong Zhuojun.
Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling who led his army to capture Yongning County, encountered an ambush on the road and was rushed by Fan Chou and led 30,000 Xiliang cavalry. He died in a panic.
Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangdang who captured Caoyang County, fled back in a panic.
Only Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan and the three princes successfully captured the county town, but all suffered great losses.
Dong Zhuo's strong strength shocked all the princes, and the opinions of temporarily marching gained the upper hand.
Therefore, the coalition forces against Dong occupied some counties west of Hulao Pass east of Luoyang and fought with Dong Zhuo in the Caoyang area of Yongning.
However, the coalition of princes wanted to stabilize the current situation, but Dong Zhuo did not want to be the Hulao Pass was not in his hands. He always felt like a knife was pressing his throat.
He would not be relieved if he would not eliminate the Dong coalition forces.
Under his strict orders, the Xiliang cavalry continued to dispatch and launched fierce attacks on the coalition forces of Dong.
The coalition forces against Dong were forced to continue to fight with Dong's army, and countless soldiers on both sides died every day.
There are battles in the middle of Luoyang and Hulaoguan every day, and people die every day. This place has become a hell on earth!
