Three Kingdoms Summoning: Peak Resurgence

Chapter 164: Xiang Yu's Night Attack on Hulao Pass

"Senior Brother Huang, I don't know about this. Who knows what is going on in Lu Zhi's mind that he would work for his enemy for such a long time?" Zhang Ning shook his head.

Then, Zhang Ning came up with another answer that sounded a little more reliable.

"Perhaps it is because Lu Zhi was too deeply influenced by Confucianism. He was a farmer but his heart was with the Han Dynasty. He was supported by the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor, so he was determined to help the Han Dynasty. There is basically no possibility of winning over such a person!"

Zhang Jue also agreed with Zhang Ning's idea. Ever since Dong Zhongshu, the leader of Confucianism at that time, created the theory of the correspondence between heaven and man and the theory of the Five Constant Virtues, Confucianism has been led in a different direction.

From then on, Confucianism became a tool of the empire!

As far as Zhang Jue knew, the current Confucianism is no longer a monolithic entity, let alone the other schools of thought. This also shows that the current schools of thought are no longer united as before.

Then it seems understandable that Lu Zhi served the Han Dynasty.

…………

And at this time.

Other people present.

Wise men such as Li Mi and Huang Chao instantly understood the intentions of Zhang Ning and Dongfang Sheng.

This time, Dongfang Sheng sneaked into Luoyang in order to better expose Lu Zhi's identity. At this sensitive time, if the tyrant Liu Hong knew that Lu Zhi was from a farming family, he would definitely send people to arrest Lu Zhi.

After all, the Nong family and the Liu royal family have a deep hatred for each other, and Liu Hong is an emperor. Even if he knows that Lu Zhi is loyal to him, once he finds out that Lu Zhi is a disciple of the Nong family, he will definitely no longer trust Lu Zhi, and a change of commander is inevitable!

However, Huang Chao felt that even if the commander of Hulao Pass was changed, it would be difficult to bring about changes in a short period of time. After all, there was still a powerful enemy, Wang Yu, there.

This kid is no ordinary person.

What's more, he is not alone, he has a powerful army under his command, and his fighting will is terrifying.

Just as Huang Chao was thinking, Zhang Jue stood up excitedly. When he thought that he could take Hulao Pass with minimal losses, he immediately laughed.

"Sheng'er is indeed a heroine. If I'm right, her plan is to wait until Liu Hong replaces Lu Zhi and then spread all kinds of rumors. By then, Hulao Pass will be in chaos, and our army will have the opportunity to capture Hulao Pass."

"Father is wise, but..."

Zhang Ning said solemnly: "Even if Lu Zhi is replaced, the morale of Hulao Pass will be damaged, and it may not be easy to take it down. After all, if Lu Zhi is gone, there is still Zhu Jun."

"What's more, Liu Hong won't give us too much time. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhu Jun must be the commander of Hulao Pass. This man is not easy to deal with!"

"Therefore, our army must act quickly. While the morale of the troops at Hulao Pass is damaged and Zhu Jun has not had time to completely stabilize the army, we must immediately send troops to attack Hulao Pass."

"Well, Ning'er is right!" Zhang Jue nodded with satisfaction. His daughter's ability is no less than that of his son. Just like what he said just now, he only needs to stop at the right point.

"Generals, who is willing to take the first place in the Eastern Expedition?" Zhang Jue said, looking at the crowd below.

This time, Huang Chao was not the first to stand up, because he was not optimistic about this attack. After all, Wei Xiaokuan had left too deep an impression on him, as did that freak Wang Yu.

However, the fact that Huang Chao did not come out does not mean that others would not come out.

"Fang La is willing to go."

"Dou Jiande is willing to guarantee with his head that he will be the Great Sage and Good Teacher to capture Hulao Pass."

"Wang Shichong..." "Chen Youliang..."

"Zhang Shicheng..."

……

After all, it is the first achievement of the Eastern Expedition, and no one wants to miss it.

Therefore, Dou Jiande and others enthusiastically volunteered to fight.

However, after Zhang Jue's reprimand, they all stopped.

"Ning'er, what do you think about the candidate to lead the troops this time?" Zhang Jue did not listen to everyone's request to fight, but instead asked his daughter Zhang Ning.

Huang Chao smiled bitterly when he heard this. Although he understood Zhang Jue's behavior, it didn't mean that he could accept it.

"Great and wise teacher, I am also your nephew. Am I not as good as Xiang Yu, the future son-in-law?" Huang Chao asked in his heart.

Zhang Ning was stunned when she heard this. She did not expect that her father Zhang Jue would ask for her opinion. Zhang Ning subconsciously glanced at Xiang Yu not far away. Seeing Xiang Yu smiling at her, she also smiled in response, without showing any shyness as in the original book.

Then, Zhang Ning immediately said: "This surprise attack on Hulao Pass is crucial. It is the key for our army to break the stalemate. If this attack fails, our army can only attack by force, and then we will suffer heavy losses."

"As far as I know, there are more than 100,000 soldiers guarding Hulao Pass, and the surrounding area is not conducive to hiding. Therefore, in this raid, the number of attackers must be much lower than the number of defenders in order to avoid being discovered."

"And to achieve this, we must select a brave and good attacking general who can seize Hulao Pass for our army with lightning speed!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes. After going through so much trouble, you still recommend your fiancé.

However, Zhang Ning now clearly knew what it meant to stop at the right time. She had actually made her words clear enough, so she did not continue.

Otherwise, it would be really ugly to eat!

Seeing that Zhang Ning didn't say anything else, Zhang Jiao nodded in satisfaction at his daughter. It was truly rare and precious that she could stop at just the right time and eat without looking ugly.

"I think everyone heard what the Saint Lady said just now. Who do you generals think is more suitable?" Zhang Jue asked.

"Of course it is General Xiang Yu." Huang Chao stepped forward and spoke.

Huang Chao also understood that Zhang Jue actually asked her daughter Zhang Ning to come out, which clearly showed that he favored Xiang Yu. Even if he asked to fight, it would definitely not be accepted.

It would be better to follow Zhang Jue's advice and recommend Xiang Yu. This would leave a good impression in front of him and lay a foreshadowing for him to seize the throne of succession to the Yellow Turban Army in the future.

"Huang Chao actually recommended Xiang Yu. Is this the sun rising from the west?" Everyone couldn't help but talk about it. No one thought that the person who recommended would be Huang Chao.

"Military Advisor!" Looking at Huang Chao standing below, Zhang Jue's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of complexity. Then, he looked at Xiang Yu on the side and asked, "Zi Ji, are you confident that you can take down Hulao Pass?"

This time, Xiang Yu did not make a promise immediately. Instead, he made some analysis based on the current situation. Finally, he concluded that although a raid on Hulao Pass would be difficult, it was not impossible. As long as Zhang Jue could meet his two conditions, Xiang Yu had a 60% chance of capturing Hulao Pass for him.

And these two conditions are naturally the 30,000 Yellow Turban warriors and Huang Chao.

Zhang Jue naturally agreed to this.
