Three Kingdoms Summoning: Peak Resurgence

Thinking of this, Huang Chao immediately issued another order: "Send a message to the Great Sage at Hulao Pass to request cavalry support!"

"Let's say I need 10,000 cavalrymen right now. No, I need all of them. We will use them to intercept and annihilate the Han cavalrymen commanded by Wang Yu in Chenliu."

Wang Yu's move hit the Yellow Turban Army's weak spot. Huang Chao was not afraid that those people would be unwilling to send out cavalry. After all, Wang Yu was wreaking havoc in Yanzhou, and it was not just him, Huang Chao, who was affected.

However, what Huang Chao is worried about now is that the Yellow Turban Army does not have many cavalrymen available outside Hulao Pass.

After all, Xiang Yu's plan was basically completed with the help of cavalry.

The huge Yellow Turban Army had only 60,000 cavalry at most. If Xiang Yu brought a lot of cavalry, there would not be enough cavalry at Hulao Pass to come to Chenliu to support Huang Chao.

Of course, Huang Chao also knew that it was useless to think so much now. If he couldn't stop Wang Yu with all his strength, everything would be in vain.

…………

Just as Huang Chao was constantly worrying about Wang Yu leading the cavalry to sweep across Yanzhou, the Han court far away in Luoyang was also in an uproar because of Xiang Yu.

Mengjin Pass was captured by Xiang Yu, which meant that there was only a small Pingjin Pass left between Luoyang and the Yellow Turbans.

In other words, the Yellow Turban Army could send enough troops here at any time. If that happened, Luoyang would be in real danger. The Han court did not believe that a small city like Pingjin alone could stop the Yellow Turban Army.

Therefore, Liu Hong made a prompt decision and decided to take advantage of the fact that the Yellow Turbans had only recently captured Mengjin Pass and their troops were still limited, and to recapture Mengjin Pass with a thunderous force.

I don’t know if it was because Liu Hong had been repeatedly reduced in intelligence by Wang Yu, which caused serious sequelae, but he actually dared to let He Jin command an army of 300,000 to retake Mengjin Pass with all his strength.

This aroused fierce opposition from civil and military officials in the court.

However, He Jin vowed that he would be able to win the battle and succeed immediately, and recapture Mengjin Pass in one fell swoop.

He Jin thought so naturally because of the Battle of Hulao Pass. During those days, as many as 70,000 to 80,000 Yellow Turban troops, under the command of their main general Wang Hong, were killed at Hulao Pass.

This also made He Jin feel that the Yellow Turban Army was nothing special!
Although Xiang Yu attacked Mengjin Pass in a flash and captured it easily, giving a slap in the face to all the civil and military officials in the court, He Jin still did not take it seriously and only thought that it was a sneak attack by the Yellow Turban Army.

Therefore, He Jin volunteered to be the chief general and command the 250,000 Han troops in Sili to attack the occupied Mengjin Pass.

The Han army originally had 300,000 troops, including new troops recruited from Sili. However, in order to protect Hulao Pass, Liu Hong withdrew a part of them, leaving only 250,000 troops.

All the civil and military officials in the court disagreed with this.

After all, this is an army of 250,000, and He Jin has no ability to lead it. Therefore, most people recommend Wang Yu as the commander-in-chief. Although the latter is young, he has sufficient experience in leading troops and has a high reputation in the army. He is qualified for the job of leading the army!
However, at this critical moment, the news that Wang Yu refused Wang Hong's order and secretly led all his cavalry to attack Yanzhou was also reported back to Luoyang.

There was another uproar in the court regarding Wang Yu's action. Finally, Cao Cao, who had just returned to Luoyang from Hulao Pass, had a debate with the ministers and analyzed the benefits of Wang Yu's attack on Yanzhou. Only then did the ministers give up the idea of ​​letting Wang Yu lead the army back.

However, because of this, he achieved the historical achievement of debating with many scholars, and one of his own skills was strengthened.

[Ding Dong, since Cao Cao is the first to achieve the achievement of "Debate with Scholars", his skill "Encouragement" will be enhanced once, and two random peak five-dimensional permanent +1 will be given;

Encouragement: The right words at the right time can be the key to turning the situation around. The effects of the skill vary from person to person; Effect 1, ...]

[Ding Dong, Cao Cao's peak commander +1, peak politics +1;

Cao Cao's peak five-dimensional attributes are as follows: Command 99 (+1), Force 93, Intelligence 97, Politics 101 (+1), Charisma 99;

Cao Cao's current five-dimensional attributes are command 94, force 93, intelligence 94, politics 92, and charm 93;]

.........

Cao Cao absolutely disagreed with He Jin being the commander-in-chief. After all, in his opinion, how could He Jin, a butcher who only killed pigs, resist a powerful commander like Xiang Yu.

Taking into account that the two brothers Wang Hong and Wang Jian would be stationed at Hulao Pass, and that the prestige of Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan and Liu Yu in leading the army was not enough, Cao Cao immediately recommended Zhu Jun, one of the three famous generals of the Han Dynasty, as the commander-in-chief to retake Mengjin Pass.

The reason why Lu Zhi is not recommended is because of his status as a member of the Hundred Schools of Thought.

In fact, in Cao Cao's view, he was the most qualified person to serve as the commander-in-chief of the 250,000-man army. However, from the moment his identity was exposed, Lu Zhi's fate was already doomed.

Even if he was loyal to the Han Dynasty, the best outcome would be to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Finally, after some discussion, Liu Hong agreed with Cao Cao's opinion and ordered Zhu Jun as the commander of the 250,000 Han army and He Jin as the deputy commander.

Although Zhu Jun's record in the battle against the Yellow Turban Army in this life was not ideal, that was also because his opponent was Xiang Yan, the Yellow Turban's number one general.

But even so, he still defended Yuzhou, waited for Wang Yu's reinforcements, and defeated Xiang Yan's army of more than 100,000 in one fell swoop.

So, although Zhu Jun did not perform well in the battle against the Yellow Turban Army, it does not mean that his strength is weak. Even if we look at the Han Dynasty, which is full of talented people, he is definitely a famous general.

Of course, what Zhu Jun valued most was his qualifications, which could suppress these fierce generals who came up from the battlefield.

Not only that, Liu Hong was worried that with only 250,000 troops, he might not be able to defeat the Yellow Turban Army and capture Mengjin Pass, so he specifically went to Zhu Jun and mobilized many future big men.

These people are: Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, Di Qing, etc.

Not only did they go there, but they also brought their own troops with them.

So, in addition to the original 250,000 troops of Sili, Liu Hong transferred another 100,000 troops from Hulao Pass.

As a result, the combat power of Hulao Pass, which was originally garrisoned by 330,000 troops, was instantly reduced by more than half due to the departure of more than 70,000 cavalrymen of Wang Yu and 100,000 infantrymen of Cao Cao and others.

Today, there are only about 140,000 troops left at Hulao Pass.

It is worth mentioning that Liu Ji, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, was the culprit who destroyed the Qin Dynasty hundreds of years ago. In this life, he is under the butterfly effect of Wang Yu and is also under the command of Zhu Jun. I wonder what kind of sparks will be produced when he meets Qin Wen, who has the blood of the Great Qin.
