Lu Bu, who was riding a red rabbit horse like a fiery wind, dived headlong into the Liangzhou rebellion army. When he saw Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, Song Xian and other generals, he was about to call them to turn back and kill him together.Unexpectedly, he heard the screams of Liangzhou soldiers and horses who were fighting with the army of the Yishi Youmeng in the front. Lu Bu looked again, and saw that the defeat had been revealed, and Zhang Liao, who galloped to his side to persuade him, had no choice but to suppress his heart. The surging hatred ordered the troops to retreat.

With Lu Bu's order, the army of Liangzhou immediately surged towards the rear Hulao Pass like the ebb tide of the sea.The Yishi Youmeng army screamed loudly, and they all killed them. Lu Bu led the army and horses to watch the pass and ran. The Yishi Youmeng army went all the way to the pass.

After the Eighth Route soldiers from the Right Alliance returned to the camp, all the princes gathered under Cao Cao's tent again. Except for Wen Han and Sun Jian who were silent, the other princes were all excited, still intoxicated by the great victory just now .

Cao Cao stared at Wen Han and Sun Jian silently for a while with deep eyes, and then withdrew his eyes again. At this time, Sun Jian finally couldn't bear the dissatisfaction in his heart, and asked Cao Cao in an accusing tone.

"Leader! Why did you use such a despicable means to sneak attack Lu Fengxian! In this way, what is the difference between our righteous teacher and Dong Gou!"

Sun Jian's shout immediately made the princes in the entire tent quiet down, but they all remained tacitly silent, but all looked at Cao Cao to see how Cao Cao would deal with it.

"Hehe, Sun Taishou, Dong Gou is cruel and heartless, he deceives the emperor and harms loyal ministers and common people. At this time in Luoyang, no matter the status is noble or mediocre, everyone is tortured by him and is in the midst of the fire. I wait for the volunteers to come to Luoyang as soon as possible. One day, everyone from today’s sages down to Li people can save a day of suffering. At this point, why is it wrong for the lord to use a little trick?”

"Leader Cao's words are true, and this old man also thinks so. Although this method is inferior, the final result is for the welfare of the people of the country. There is no need for Sun Taishou to worry about it."

Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou who was very well-known in the right alliance, agreed with Cao Cao's approach, and other princes also echoed.

"Hmph! The result obtained by using such despicable means is probably not fair enough!"

Sun Jian was relentless and snorted coldly.

Cao Cao and Sun Jian looked at each other fiercely, neither happy nor angry, showing a sense of atmosphere in their indifference.

"Sun Taishou. The result can be divided into bright and dark. But...human life...doesn't distinguish between bright and dark. For the sages, officials, and people in Luoyang, all means, on the premise of whether they can survive It doesn't matter. Dong Gou was able to kill the former Young Emperor and Empress Dowager He, but for Dong Gou, who would dare to kill him in Luoyang at this time?"

Although Cao Cao's tone was indifferent and calm, the general idea in his words was like giant mountains pressing down on the shoulders of various princes. Everyone looked thoughtful, including Sun Jian's expression when he heard Cao Cao's words. Constantly changing, finally closed the tiger's eyes, sat down heavily, and stopped talking.

And Wen Han, who kept his head down all the time, looked at Cao Cao silently, wondering what it was like in his heart, why he felt that Cao Cao was becoming more and more strange, and this strangeness made Wen Han feel terrible.

Not long after Cao Cao finished speaking, the tent fell silent for a while, and the princes couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere, so they used various reasons to bid Cao Cao to leave.Cao Cao didn't stop him, and with that unpredictably indifferent look on his face, he bid farewell to the princes one after another.

Sun Jian and Wen Han walked out of the tent together. With a dark face, Sun Jian whispered to Wen Han.

"Wen Guanjun, although Chairman Cao's words are reasonable... I am pedantic. I really can't accept it. I think that if you want to win, you have to win in a fair way, otherwise you will feel ashamed of everything you get!"

Sun Jian and Wen Han had been together for a while, and the two had a good friendship, so Sun Jian said this to Wen Han without any scruples.And Wen Han was just thinking about something, when he heard Sun Jian say this suddenly, after pondering for a while, he sighed.

"Hey, if it's possible, Leader Cao also wants to defeat Lu Bu in a fair and honest way. But Brother Wentai, you have seen with your own eyes today that Lu Bu is unparalleled. If you are fighting alone, I am afraid that no one in this world can be inferior. If it is not for today's heroes Pounce, I'm afraid that the side that loses today will be our Righteous Teacher and Right Alliance.

Moreover, at the moment we are at a stalemate with Lu Bu in this Hulao pass, leader Cao, as the leader of the right alliance, must be extremely anxious.Why didn't he want to break through the Hulao Pass as soon as possible, come to Luoyang, save the Holy One, and rescue the people of Luoyang from the fire.

As the leader of the alliance, he has gained fame and power, and he also has a heavy responsibility on him.Brother Wentai, let me ask you, if you were allowed to be the leader of the alliance, how would you choose today?

You will know that if you insist on being aboveboard, your alliance will be defeated, the soldiers and horses in your alliance will be lost, and the situation in your alliance will become worse and worse, but you will still remain unmoved and will not think about what else to do. one way? "

"Uh... this... maybe..."

Wen Han's question left Sun Jian speechless. Sun Jian frowned fiercely. After thinking for a long time, maybe he had a decision in his heart, but he didn't say it, but asked Wen Han instead.

"Wen Champion, what about you? How would you choose?"

Wen Han is straightforward, or he has already made up his mind.

"I should make almost the same decision as Chairman Cao."

It was one o'clock at night, and the lights in Cao Cao's tent were still brightly lit.

"Report, according to my subordinates' inquiries, after the Yishi Zuomeng soldiers approached Jiguan, they confronted the [-] troops led by the guard of Jiguan Hua Xiong. The situation of the Zuomeng was slightly lower at the beginning, and Hua Xiong, the guard of Jiguan, cut off first. He captured Jinbei chancellor Bao Xin and his younger brother Bao Zhong, and later beheaded Runan prefect Yuan Shuxiao and general Yu She. He led the army and won several battles, capturing many Zuomeng generals alive.

Originally, the morale of the Jiguan army was high, but two days ago, the guard of Jiguan, Hua Xiong, was under the command of Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Beiping, and a tiger general named Zhang Fei. The inner general Hua Xiong was captured, and the morale of the army at Jiguan plummeted. They were all too frightened to fight any more, and closed the gates tightly, guarding the gate.When Dong Gou learned that Hua Xiong had been captured, Xingye led Li Ru, Niu Fu, Zhang Ji and others to Jiguan, and let his general Xu Rong guard Luoyang. "

In Cao Cao's tent, a scout was kneeling on one knee, reporting the battle situation of Zuomeng at Jiguan.Cao Cao fixed his expression, nodded, and ordered the scout to go out to collect the reward himself.

"Zhang Fei... isn't this the third younger brother of Liu Bei, who claims to be a descendant of the royal family? Liu Bei, Liu Bei. This person is hiding his secrets, so we must be careful when we meet in the future."

At this time, in Cao Cao's mind, the figures of the three brothers Liu, Pan and Zhang rose, and then he added a little bit to the impression of these three brothers.He felt that although these three people were not well-known at the moment, sooner or later they would become a blockbuster.These three people are a variable in the Zuomeng. If Yuan Shaoshan uses the three of them, it is likely to bring about a change in the current situation of the Zuomeng.

After Cao Cao thought for a while, he sat down and began to think about the current battle situation of his right alliance army.

In the next few days, Lu Bu rode a red rabbit and held Fang Tian's painted halberd to scold and invite battle, but Cao Cao seemed determined not to send his generals to confront him openly.Every time Lu Bu came, he even sent dozens of generals to besiege. Although Lu Bu was not ashamed of Cao Cao's behavior and roared and cursed, Cao Cao and other princes pretended not to hear.Lv Bu was helpless, and later, at Zhang Liao's suggestion, he began to lead the troops to confront him.Lu Bu's soldiers and horses and the Yishi Youmeng army fought several battles in the past few days, each had its own victory or defeat, and suffered injuries. For a while, the two sides were at a stalemate and it was difficult to break through.

Regarding this, Cao Cao, who is the leader of the Righteous Master League, was very troubled and impatient.One night, he found Wen Han to discuss under the tent.

"Bufan, I heard that when you assisted Ding Gong in the confrontation with Dong Gou, you formed a strange formation of tripod characters, which defeated Dong Gou. See if you can use this formation again tomorrow to take another one for the righteous teacher Big win."

Wen Han's face was solemn, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head.

"I also want to win a big victory for the volunteers. However, this large formation with the characters of the tripod needs time to get used to it. How can Lu Bu give me the opportunity to train soldiers now? Moreover, the formation with the characters of the tripod is a defensive formation. Once you take the initiative to attack, the formation will The delicacy is completely lost. What's more, when Lu Bu was under Ding Gong's command, he had seen the power of this large formation, so he would not rush to attack."

"Well... if that's the case, the tripod array is just as weak. However, the current situation of the battle is not enough, and I am very troubled. These days against Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, the [-] Liangzhou Iron Armored Cavalry under his command is even worse. It’s terrifying, and extraordinary, I want to ask you, why are all the Iron Armored Cavalry in Liangzhou equipped with stirrups and saddles?”

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes suddenly, staring into Wen Han's eyes as if he wanted to see through Wen Han's mind.Wen Han heard Cao Cao's mention, and then remembered some past events, then smiled, and talked about these past events.

When he was driving Qianghu away in Bingzhou, Lu Bu discovered the saddle and stirrup of his black wind rider, and then told Ding Yuan, and together with Ding Yuan, he asked for the blueprint of the stirrup and saddle.At that time, Wen Han was just a small person, so he didn't dare to offend Ding Yuan. At that time, he used a release document and was forced to trade with Ding Yuan.

Cao Cao groaned, then muttered again.

"The Liangzhou cavalry were originally brave and good at fighting, and they are famous all over the world. Now they are equipped with stirrups and saddles. They are like a tiger with two wings. It is difficult to be hostile. If the [-] Liangzhou cavalry can be wiped out, then Lu Bu's soldiers and horses will no longer be a threat. .”

At this time, Wen Han's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the smile on his mouth became wider and wider.Wen Han's change was immediately noticed by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's face immediately filled with ecstasy. He had seen the smile on Wen Han's face twice during the Guangzong War. One time, Wen Han figured out how to break through the strange array of tripod characters, and the other time, Wen Han figured out how to use monsters to break through the formation. He dealt with the ghost soldiers who had been cast by Zhang Jiao.

Every time Wen Han showed such a smile, it meant that he must have thought of a strategy to defeat the enemy.

"Extraordinary! Have you thought about how to deal with the [-] Liangzhou Iron Armored Cavalry!"

Cao Cao was in a hurry, and without realizing it, he grabbed Wen Han's wrist tightly with one hand. Wen Han put away his smile and looked at Cao Cao with some suspicion.
