Rebirth of Lu Bu, the tyrant of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 104, The Expendables, Burning Allied Food and Grass (Part [-])
Yuan Shao was unwilling to reconcile, but he was blocked by Xiongguan in front of him, unable to advance at all, and with heavy losses, he could only retreat back to the Allied camp with a cheeky face.

Sun Jian saw Yuan Shao and his brothers in such a state of embarrassment, and immediately mocked, "Didn't the lord lead the troops to attack Hulao Pass? Why did he come back so soon?"

There was a slight smile on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth, but he didn't speak.

Yuan Shao snorted softly, strode into the tent with a livid face, and sat alone on the big seat, sulking.

Later in the evening,

Dong Zhuo recklessly visited Hulao Pass with the Flying Bear Army, and heaved a deep sigh, "There are so many allied troops, it's not a solution to go on like this. I don't know if Wenyou has a good plan."

Li Ru caressed his long beard with a deep expression, "Right now we are guarding the pass, and we don't need to be afraid of the allied forces. If Mr. Xiangguo wants the allied forces to disintegrate as soon as possible, Wen You has a plan."

Dong Zhuo's eyes moved slightly, and he was overjoyed, "Let's listen to Wen You."

"The law of war says: Before the soldiers and horses move, the food and grass go first, and the importance of food and grass is mentioned in it. I have asked people to investigate clearly the place where the leader stores food and grass.

Xiangguo can form a death squad, sneak into the enemy's camp late at night, set fire to the enemy's food and grass, without food and grass, the allied army will collapse quickly," Li Ru said.

Dong Zhuo had a look of joy on his face, "It's so good, then Wen You will arrange this matter."

Li Ru immediately selected a hundred elite soldiers from the army, and ordered them to wear black robes, hold firearms, sulfur, etc., and sneak close to the food and grass of the Allied army in the middle of the night.

Sulfur was spread around the grain and grass, and then a fire ignited the surrounding grain and grass.

With the fire together, all the big camps began to be in chaos.

Yuan Shu felt a throbbing pain in his heart, and he roared loudly, "Quickly put out the fire and save the food and grass!"

Tens of thousands of troops rushed to the logistics department immediately, but the grain and grass of tens of thousands of people were all burned up, and the fire was raging, and it was impossible to rescue them for a while.

They could only watch helplessly as their food and grass for several months were reduced to ashes.

One hundred Death Squadrons, just after they left the logistics department, were spotted by the allied forces, they swarmed up and hacked them to death on the ground.

However, these people were ready to sacrifice when they came, and Dong Zhuo even prepared a high pension for them.

The princes of the Eighteen Routes gathered in the big tent, discussing the matter of grain and grass, and they all sighed, blaming Yuan Shu for not sending someone to guard the grain and grass.

"Right now, the food and grass have been burned, how can we do things without food and grass," Guangling prefect said.

Han Fu said, "General Yuan Shu is in charge of guarding the grain and grass, but now hundreds of thousands of grain and grass have been burned by the Xiliang bandits without any effort.

This is our army’s food and grass for three months, and he was the one who proposed to bring all the food and grass together. Does General Yuan Shu want to give an explanation?”

Yuan Shu said angrily, "Excuse me, what do you want to say, when you send troops to attack Hulao Pass during the day, you are not willing to go. We will not have enough soldiers, so naturally we have to transfer the soldiers guarding the grain and grass."

"We don't care. General Yuan Shu is in charge of guarding the food and grass. Now the food and grass are being burned by the bandits in his hands. He must be responsible for collecting food and grass," Sun Jian said angrily.

"Hmph, all the grain and grass in the surrounding counties have been confiscated, where can I go to collect grain and grass for you?" Yuan Shu was not only unwilling to take responsibility, but had a very bad attitude.
"Since the uprising, our army has had fewer victories and more defeats, and has suffered heavy losses. Today, some grain and grass have been burned. General Yuan Shu was originally responsible for guarding the grain and grass, but now he has this attitude. If this is the case, it doesn't matter if the alliance is not concluded. I will lead the army myself. Go back, let's fend for ourselves," Gongsun Zan said angrily.

"Yeah, since you can't win, let's disband and go home early, don't waste time here," Liu Bei also said.

Seeing that everyone wanted to disband, Cao Cao quickly stood up and said, "Don't be anxious, generals. We managed to form an alliance here, so how can we return without success?"

"It's all your fault for the edict you issued. If others don't tell you, don't think we don't know. It's nothing more than a fake edict, which caused me to lose so many food, grass, and soldiers," Wang Kuang said angrily.

Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, also stood up and scolded, "Hmph, what a bullshit coercion, how many soldiers and horses have been killed, I will bring the soldiers back to Chenliu tonight, please ask for blessings."

Cao Cao was also suffocating with anger. It was obvious that the Yuan brothers did not command properly and failed to guard the food and grass, which caused the current situation. Why are they all pointing their guns at him now.

"Princes from all walks of life, don't talk nonsense. This is the emperor's edict, which overshadows the seal of the jade seal. How come it is a false edict," Cao Cao said.

"Don't talk nonsense, if you don't talk about it, everyone has their own schemes," Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, said.

Cao Cao's face was hot for a while, as if he had been slapped in the face, and he couldn't help but look at Lu Bu with some resentment, it was Lu Bu's bad idea.

Standing there helplessly, he thought that the [-]th Route princes' alliance would surely enter Luoyang City in one fell swoop, kill Dong thief, and worship the general as a marquis.

But I never thought how powerful the coalition forces said on the surface, but in fact it was nothing more than that.

"Since that's the case, it doesn't matter if the alliance is disbanded this time," Cao Cao said speechlessly.

"Since I, Lu Bu, have come, if I don't break through Hulao Pass and take down Luoyang City, I will naturally not leave. If you are afraid of death, you can go ahead," Lu Bu said proudly.

Sun Jian said, "My son from Jiangdong is willing to advance and retreat with General Fengxian."

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lu Bu again.

Cao Cao always felt that Lv Bu had always been hiding his secrets. Among the eighteen princes, he was the bravest and the most low-key. Since he didn't want to leave, he must have a plan to destroy the thief in his heart. Anyway, he himself Just two thousand soldiers and horses, let's take a gamble for the time being.

Before Liu Bei could speak, Zhang Fei was already a little unhappy and said, "I don't want to leave. Didn't I agree to go to Luoyang City together and cut off Dong Thief's head? Why did I start to regret it again?"

Liu Bei brought 2000 people before, but now there are only more than [-] people left. It would be a bit of a loss if he quit at this time. In addition, Zhang Fei was unwilling to retreat, so Liu Bei simply stayed.

Seeing that the allied forces were gone, the other princes all wanted to preserve their strength, so they returned the same way one after another.

Of the eighteen princes, there are only four troops left, Sun Jian, Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei.

Lu Bu checked the system, and couldn't help snickering inwardly. He didn't expect that he had killed more than [-] soldiers and horses in the past few months, and he could exchange for another [-] soldiers and horses.

In the big tent, Lu Bu invited the generals to toast and drink, and he didn't feel sad at all because the princes from all walks of life left.

"Right now, we only have [-] soldiers and horses. Since Fengxian chose to stay, I don't know if there is a way to defeat the enemy," Cao Cao said.

"Since Brother Meng De chooses to stay, he can trust Lu Bu. Within three days, the Hulao Pass will be broken," Lu Bu said confidently.

Everyone was overjoyed, and immediately toasted Lu Bu.

A look of shock also flashed across Guo Jia's face, "General, Hulao Pass is guarded by the city. The city is strong, and the 20 allied troops are still unable to attack it. Now we only have more than [-] people. How can we take Hulao Pass?"

"There is no need to be nervous in Fengxiao. Hulaoguan is built on the mountain and guarded by the city. To the north is a dangerous mountain with cliffs that go straight into the sky.

Didn't you say that the sky is dark and there are no stars in the sky at night, so I climbed into Hulao Pass from the top of this hill, opened the gate of the city in the dark, and led the army to rush out, flanking back and forth, and I will definitely win big! win".
