Just when Ding Chen fell asleep in Luoyang, all the princes gathered in the large tent of the Sour Jujube Alliance camp hundreds of miles away, and were discussing matters.

"The old thief Dong Zhuo ordered Hua Xiong to be the Great Supervisor, to command 30,000 infantry and cavalry, and to take charge of Xingyang."

Chenliu Prefect Zhang Miao, with a solemn expression on his face, said in a deep voice: "I don't know about Hua Xiong, who can explain it to me?"

Qiao Mao, Liu Dai, Yuan Yi and Bao Xin all looked at each other.

"Meng De, you have worked with the old thief, do you know that Hua Xiong is the man?"

Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, saw that Zhang Miao's face looked a little ugly, so he asked Cao Cao, who was sitting at the end of the tent.

Zhang Miao was stunned and immediately reacted, showing a look of joy.

"Yes, Meng De must have known the origin of Hua Xiong."

When Cao Cao heard this, he was excited and quickly got up to salute.

He joined Zhang Miao from Xiangyi. As he thought, Zhang Miao treated him as a guest of honor after seeing him.

After all, Cao Cao's reputation was very famous. He was previously a lieutenant of the Dianjun Academy and had a good relationship with Yuan Shao and others. He was quite famous among the scholars and officials.

Although Zhang Miao received a lot of responses after the rebellion, there were not many people around him who could be used.

Cao Cao's arrival has indeed greatly enhanced his influence.

After the five princes gathered together, with Cao Cao's prestige, Zhang Miao became the leader of the five princes. Even the initiator of the attack on Dong, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, had to bow his head, which made Zhang Miao quite proud.

Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, is the one who values ​​Cao Cao the most among these five people.

"Hua Xiong knows this guy.

It turns out that this person is Cao's fellow villager. In his early years, he left his hometown with the elders in his clan, and there was no news.

When Cao was in Luoyang, he recognized him because of his accent. He learned that he and the elders in his family were lost and left on the streets. When Dong Zhe was the prefect of Hedong, he took him under his jurisdiction and followed Dong Zhe. Hua Xiong was the bravest army and was invincible. During the Liangzhou Rebellion, he repeatedly broke into the rebels, killing generals and seizing flags, which was favored by Dong Zhuo.

I once heard from Dong Zhe's subordinates that if Hua Xiong had joined Dong Zhuo in Beijing at that time, how could Lu Bu be crazy?

From this we can also see that this Hua Xiong is definitely not casual."

After saying something, everyone looked at each other.

Like Qiao Mao, Liu Dai, he took a deep breath and showed a look of fear.

Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, showed a dissatisfied expression on his face, "Meng De's words are exaggerated, to strengthen others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige.

A mere Hua Xiong is just a reckless man, so what's the point?

We gathered with the five princes. Before we could confront them, we felt cowardly. How could we conquer the old thief Dong Zhuo?"

"Could Yuan Qing have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

"The letter from the highway said that on the eighth day of the second month, we met with us in Yangrenguan and then attacked Xingyang.

I believe that now, the people on the road have begun to take action, and we must speed up to avoid delaying the military plane.

Well, just Huaxiong is not worth mentioning!

Before I came, I borrowed the famous Hebei general Pan Feng from Han Envoy to help.

Pan Feng has the courage to be unstoppable to thousands of men, and can kill generals and seize the flag and be brave enough to be the three armies. Pan Feng, plainclothes, is the vanguard, and he will definitely succeed."

When Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao and Liu Dai heard this, they immediately showed joy.

"It turns out that Yuan Qing was prepared for a long time. Since Pan Feng, Hua Xiong would definitely die."

Yuan Yi laughed and was proud.

Seeing this, Cao Cao stopped talking and retreated silently.

Although he is famous, his strength is the weakest among these five princes.

Although Wei Zi spent all his wealth in Xiangyi and recruited five thousand soldiers for him, and with Xiahou Yuan's command and assistance, he was still not valued.

Yuan Yi is also a member of the Yuan clan in Runan and has always been arrogant.

Cao Cao knew very well that he had no right to speak, so he did not take Yuan Yi's satirical thoughts to heart.

In two days, the three thousand heroes recruited by his family will arrive. At that time, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and Cao Hong will also come, so he will not be as frustrated as he is now. Hua Xiong is easy to deal with? When you have seen it, you will know that he is powerful!

After Yuan Yi and others discussed it, they dispersed.

Cao Cao got out the big tent and was about to return to the camp, but he heard someone shouting behind him: "Meng De, stay."

He strangled the horse and turned his head to look.

I saw Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, lead a team of people over.

Bao Xin signaled that he would not follow him too closely, so he rushed to Cao Cao.

"Meng De, let's talk while walking."

"Ah, how dare you refuse to obey?"

Bao Xin was the prime minister of Jibei and was a prince in the area.

Although his attitude was amiable in words, Cao Cao did not dare to be presumptuous.

In front of these princes, Cao Cao was just a minor generation and had no right to speak at all, so he had to be more cautious.

He was half a horse behind Bao Xin and walked slowly.

"What will Meng De think the result will be like this coalition attack on Dong?"

"this……"

Bao Xin turned his head, glanced at Cao Cao, and said softly: "Actually, although Yuan Benchu's reputation is very famous, I don't think he can succeed. Among these people, Meng Deer is the only one who can sincerely appeal to Dong... and Meng De is the only one who can be the leader of the alliance."

"Yuncheng, be careful of your words."

Cao Cao was startled and quickly stopped Bao Xin.

He and Bao Xin were old acquaintances. When He Jin was the general, Bao Xin was also He Jin's aide and knew Cao Cao.

Cao Cao has some days when he comes to sour jujubes.

He observed in secret and did feel that the coalition forces were huge and looked extremely powerful, but they were intrigued and had their own thoughts. There were only a few people who really wanted to call Dong, and Bao Xin was one of them... As for the others, including Yuan Shao, Cao Cao felt that they were not trying to call Dong, but wanted to take this opportunity to gain fame.

However, this kind of thought was only in his heart and he did not dare to talk to outsiders.

Now that Bao Xin has told her, how could Cao Cao not be afraid?

Seeing this, Bao Xin knew Cao Cao's worries.

"Don't worry, you and I know these words."

When he said this, the topic suddenly changed, "Meng De, tell the truth, then Hua Xiong is really as brave as you said, "

Cao Cao looked around and nodded gently.

"The general Pan Feng mentioned by Yuan Qing, Cao didn't know how powerful he was.

But Hua Xiong was indeed a ruthless man who actually killed the generals on the battlefield... I said he was powerful, not to be heard from. I knew a chief clerk under Dong Zhuo, named Jia Xu, who was an expert. He also praised Hua Xiong quite well.

I don't think he is talking nonsense, so Hua Xiong must have something extraordinary.

If Yuan Qing was so careless today, he would be afraid that he would be unable to get a good deal when he arrived in front of the formation."

Bao Xin agreed and nodded repeatedly, expressing his agreement.

"Then do you think there is a chance of winning this time when attacking Yangren Pass?"

Cao Cao suddenly stopped the horse, threw the stirrup and signaled his followers to take the torch.

He squatted down on the side of the road and drew a simple map on the ground with branches.

Bao Xin also quickly got off his horse and walked over, squatted down with Cao Cao to watch.

"This is sour jujube, this is Yangrenguan, and this is Luyang.

Yangren Pass is between Sourjuana and Luyang, like the gateway to the east of Xingyang, which is the throat fortress.

Hua Xiong is not Zhao Kuo who talks about war on paper. He has been through the battlefield for a long time. How could he not know the importance of Yangren Pass? He will definitely send heavy troops to guard Yangren Pass and cut off our connection with Yuan Highway. If we want to attack Yangren Pass forcibly, we will definitely lose our troops and lose our generals."

Bao Xin narrowed his eyes, looked at the simple map on the ground, and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he suddenly asked, "Meng De, did he have a clever plan to defeat the enemy?"

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, nodded, and drew two lines on the edge of the map.

"Please look at Yuncheng, this is Hucheng Pavilion.

It is frequently approached by the Dahe River, to the north, and to the south, it is across the river from Xingyang.

This Hucheng Pavilion is remote and does not mean a place. However, if we can send troops from the Sourzao and capture Hucheng Pavilion, we can directly disrupt the deployment of Dong thieves. To the north, we can threaten the rear of Hulao Pass, and to the south, and directly face Xingyang.

If Hucheng Pavilion is wrong, Xingyang will definitely lose its sense of responsibility.

At that time, we can set up a surprise weapon here so that Dong thief cannot take care of both."

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Bao Xin couldn't help but look dazed and nodded repeatedly to praise him.

"The best strategy is Meng De's plan."

He stood up and lowered his head to ponder.

Cao Cao erased the map and kept silent.

"Meng De has many soldiers now?"

"I have five thousand soldiers, but... I am obeying Meng Zhuo now, so it is difficult to transfer it without authorization.

However, my family has recruited thousands of troops for me and will arrive at the latest the next day. Moreover, my clan brothers are all very brave and will come together."

"Meng De, don't tell anyone about this matter first. I will discuss it with Meng Zhuo after I go back...Huchengting!"
