The Most Powerful Man in the World

He Miao sat in the hall and looked at the secret letter that was passed to him. In fact, through He's news channel, He Miao had some idea of ​​the content of the secret letter, but the information He got was not secret. The letter is so detailed.

Looking at the familiar names on the secret letter, He Miao was filled with emotion. He really could not have imagined that Yuan Shao would be so crazy and dare to issue such a letter. The most important thing is that the secret letter mentioned in the letter. The officials who responded to Yuan Shao's call looked at He Miao with a sneer.

He didn't believe that these people, as high-ranking officials in the imperial court, would not be able to see the authenticity of Yuan Shao's so-called content of the court order, but these people knew that the content of the court order was not credible, but they still responded to the call and sent troops to Beijing. , How could He Miao not see through the intentions of these people.

At this moment, Chu Yi said to He Miao, "General of chariots and cavalry, do you have any suggestions?"

He Miao came back to her senses, and immediately bowed her hands to Chu Yi, and said with a stern face: "Although Lord Hou ordered, He Mou will obey Lord Hou's orders."

Raising his brows, Chu Yi glanced at He Miao and said slowly, "That's the case, this time, the general of the chariots and cavalry will be seated in the capital, and Chu will personally lead the army to meet the so-called heroes of the world for a while."

He Miao couldn't help but be stunned, apparently not expecting that Chu Yi would let him sit in the capital, and listening to Chu Yi's meaning, Chu Yi simply handed the capital to him, you must know that the land of Jinggi is what Chu Yi can do. What kind of meaning the master mastered, especially the capital as the center of the world, to Chu Yi, can be imagined by a fool.

You must know that once the capital falls into the hands of others, the emperor will fall, and Chu Yi, who originally held the title of righteousness, will inevitably become the target of everyone shouting and beating.

However, Chu Yi entrusted such an important place to him, which made He Miao feel a little moved.

Taking a deep breath, He Miao immediately stood up and said solemnly to Chu Yi: "Although Master Hou can rest assured, as long as someone still has a breath, the capital will not lose."

Chu Yi smiled slightly, looked at the generals present, his eyes fell on Zhang Liao and said: "Wen Yuan will stay to assist the generals of chariots and cavalry, and sit in the capital!"

Zhang Liao stood up immediately and took orders in a solemn voice.

The rest of the generals looked at Chu Yi expectantly.

I saw Chu Yi slowly stand up and say: "The rest of the generals, follow Chu's point and go out of the capital, how dare you meet with a certain group of heroes in this world!"

"Hahaha, the Marquis has such pride, what fear do I have to wait for!"

"I would like to discuss with the Hou Ye together!"

"A group of native chickens and dogs, Lu's painted halberd is already hungry and thirsty!"

Among the capital, I don't know how many people with intentions are paying attention to Chu Yi's movements.

As the news spread, Yuan Shao spread the word, calling on people of insight in the world to attack Chu Yi. Such a big thing could not be concealed at all, and it spread among the capital in a short period of time.

While many people were amazed at Yuan Shao's madness, their attention naturally shifted to Chu Yi. In the eyes of everyone, although Chu Yi said he was in control of the capital, the current situation was very obvious. All the arrogant and powerful forces responded, and dozens of princes raised their troops, adding up to hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses alone, and Chu Yiman's full calculation might not be able to gather [-] soldiers and horses.

Such a huge disparity naturally made countless people think that Chu Yi was doomed.

Just when many people were guessing whether Chu Yi would see the opportunity and run away, a piece of news came out, and I don't know how many people's jaws dropped.

Chu Yi actually wanted to lead the army to face the allied forces of the princes in person.

In the backyard of a mansion, several sons of aristocratic families were gathering together for a drink, talking about Chu Yi leading his army to fight against the allied forces of the princes.

He heard a man wearing a brocade robe and laughed loudly: "What a thief of Chu, you really don't know how high the sky is!"

Someone immediately shouted: "Brother Wenzhi is right, he wants to die, but he has to bring so many innocent soldiers, he really deserves to be killed!"

"Hmph, if you want me to say, those people are all Chu Yi's minions. It would be fine if they were killed by the coalition along with Chu Yi this time!"

"Yes, especially that Lu Bu, who can be said to be a lackey under Chu Yi's family. Poor General Dong Zhuo's unparalleled loyalty and righteousness, he died tragically at the hands of such a villain. It's sad and deplorable!"

The earth shook, and the rumbling sound almost obscured the voices of several noble families who were talking loudly, and the tea in the tea cups on the table in front of them rippled.

Someone suddenly stood up, leaped over the pavilion, and from a distance, on the long street not far away, a group of cavalry roared past.

"Hey, this is Sanhe Jingqi, so strong!"

Someone recognized the origin of the cavalry roaring past on the long street, and couldn't help but marvel.

Several soldiers and horses left the capital under the mobilization of Chu Yi, and the movement was not small, which attracted countless people's attention.

Originally, some people suspected that the news that Chu Yi was going to lead the army to fight against the allied forces of the princes was a false news that Chu Yi deliberately spread to hide his ears, but now looking at the situation, what is the news, it is clear that he is really going to fight against the allied forces.

As the saying goes, watching the fun is not too big of a deal, there are many people in the capital who are watching the fun, and some rangers even high-five and admire.

In addition to quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the capital dispatched elite soldiers and horses to go everywhere, the big man has not had such a large-scale dispatch of elite soldiers to sit in the capital for many years.

In just half a day, tens of thousands of elite troops gathered outside the capital. Chu Yi was draped in armor, showing the spirit of heroism. That invisible temperament made Chu Yi so eye-catching.

Sitting in the chariot, the Empress Dowager He, who personally brought the Son of Heaven to see Chu Yi off, looked at Chu Yi's figure riding on the war horse, and a strange look appeared in her phoenix eyes.

He managed to suppress the inner turmoil, Mr. He slowly got up and walked out of the car, the maid next to him took a glass of water and wine, and then said to Chu Yi: "The Marquis of Pingze, the safety of this palace and the Son of Heaven will please Lord Marquis. Now, I hope that the Marquis will go here, and he will be successful, put down the robbers, and return me to peace."

Chu Yi took the wine glass, drank it all, and cupped his hands towards Mr. He. He turned on his horse, looked around at the generals, and shouted in a deep voice, "The army is on the move!"

"Your Majesty, the army is on the move!"

"Your Majesty, the army is on the move!"

The messengers shouted loudly to convey Chu Yi's general order, and suddenly tens of thousands of troops slowly began to pull out.

The morale of the army was high, and tens of thousands of elite troops gathered in one place. The suffocating energy was soaring to the sky, and it even affected the celestial phenomena. The black clouds were rolling in the sky, and the endless thunder flashed like a dragon, which made people feel heartbroken.

[Update sent, sorry for the delay for a while. 】

One thousand and forty-nine chapters Cao's talents are abundant

Hulao Pass is located on the bank of Sishui, also known as Sishui Pass. It can be said to be the eastern gate of the ancient capital Luoyang. Once Hulao Pass falls, the eastern gate of Luoyang will be opened for it, and the army will continue to appear under Luoyang City, so It is said that Hulao Pass has always been an important place for military families, and the court has never relaxed the construction and defense of Hulao Pass.

It is conceivable that under this circumstance, the strength of Hulao Pass is absolutely as strong as that of the capital.

If the two troops of Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan did not get the order of the general He Jin in advance to order the gatekeeper of Hulao to open the city gate, I am afraid that the two troops would never have appeared outside the capital.

Now Hulao Pass is caught in a bloody storm, Yuan Shao widely issued a letter, calling on the world's insightful soldiers to attack Chu Yi, but he and Ding Yuan's troops were in a very bad situation.

There is the capital in the front, and Hulao Pass in the back. It can be said that Yuan Shao and Ding Yuan have a very narrow living space. If they don’t want to be surrounded and killed by Chu Yi at Hulao Pass and the capital before the army of the lords in the world gathers. If it takes time, then they must leave this area, otherwise, once the two armies go to war, they will be the first to be cleaned up.

Whether it is Yuan Shao or Ding Yuan, they have no absolute confidence to stop the strangulation of Chu Yi's army, especially Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses were mostly captured. If there is no accident, those soldiers and horses will definitely be killed by Chu Yi is included. At that time, the power that Chu Yi can use will definitely soar. When that time comes, the army will be overwhelmed, and there are fierce generals like Lu Bu and Huang Zhong. Really hard to resist.

Originally, Ding Yuan's troops and Yuan Shao stayed behind the Hulao Pass, and if the alliance of the princes attacked the defenders of Hulao Pass before and after, it would definitely increase the chance of the allied army winning the Hulao Pass.

It's a pity that the allied forces of the princes have not yet assembled, and Chu Yi obviously cannot give them time, so if they don't want to be eliminated by Chu Yi first, the only choice they can make is to jump out of this place of death.

However, if you want to jump out of this place of death, you must cross the Hulao Pass, so now a bloody battle is going on.

Teams of soldiers and horses attacked the city wall of Hulao Pass, and a large number of soldiers died tragically in the process of sieging the city, that is, Ding Yuan, Yuan Shao and their attacks came from the back of Hulao Pass. If it is closed, its losses will certainly increase.

Even so, most of Ding Yuan's men were cavalry, and the number of soldiers who could be used to attack the city was extremely limited.

Standing on the city wall, Cao Ren, holding a big sword, slashed and flew out a siege soldier who climbed the city wall, wiped away the blood that splashed on his face, and roared: "All generals and soldiers, kill with me. !"

The guard of Hulao is actually Cao Ren. As a member of the Cao family, Cao Ren was appointed as the guard of Hulao by Chu Yi. This is beyond Cao's expectations. Cao Cao, the lord of the clan, was deeply surprised by Chu Yi's decision.

Everyone knows the importance of Hulao Pass to Luoyang City. For such an important pass, even if Chu Yi ordered his confidant generals to sit in town, everyone would not find it strange at all. However, Chu Yi abandoned Huang Zhong and Xu Huang. The others did not dispatch, but instead promoted Cao Ren from Cao Cao's subordinates and appointed him as the guard of Hulao.

Now it seems that Chu Yi's choice is not wrong, even in the face of Yuan Shao's repeated persuasion under Hulao Pass, Cao Ren, who is responsible for sitting in Hulao Pass, has no intention of letting go.

It is said that due to Cao Cao's friendship with Yuan Shao's family, it is normal for Cao Ren to release water. However, now facing Yuan Shao, Cao Ren went into battle in person, and he was surprised that Ding Yuan's men had no temper at all.

Seeing the siege soldiers receding like a tide, Cao Ren could not help secretly relieved. Although Hulao Pass was said to be the most powerful pass in the world, there were only three thousand soldiers in the city.

After all, the Yellow Turban thieves in today's world have been quelled, and the remaining Yellow Turban remnants are impossible to appear in the land of Gyeonggi. Worse.

But now facing the offensive of the tens of thousands of troops under the city, even with a general like Cao Ren in charge, it would be a lot of pressure.

Cao Ren sat on the ground with his butt on his back, and his body exuded a bloody aura. Cao Ren listened to him and said to a general next to him, "Quickly go and count how many soldiers we have."

In the face of Yuan Shao and Ding Yuan's offensive attack regardless of the damage, the Hulao Pass, which held fast for a day and a night, suffered considerable losses.

Of course, if it is just an ordinary soldier attacking the city, to be honest, Cao Ren prides himself on his own ability. Even if there are only [-] troops in hand, he is sure to hold the Hulao Pass for more than ten days. The key is what he has to face now. It is not just a group of ordinary soldiers, there are even generals of the Xiliang army such as Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Guo Si, Niu Fu, etc.

One or two of these generals is fine. He Cao Ren is not a dry eater. Even if he is against Yan Liang and Wen Chou, it is not impossible to fight for a while. The key is that nearly ten generals will lead the army into the battle. If the confidant's personal soldiers are brought in, I am afraid that Hulao Pass has already been breached.

Looking at the soldiers lying on the ground around him, Cao Ren couldn't help sighing softly, looking in the direction of the capital, and muttering softly, "Meng De, if you don't lead the army to come, I'm afraid you will have to collect the corpse for me! "

Cao Cao listened to Chu Yi's men, which is equivalent to Cao's lifeline being caught by Chu Yi. If Cao's generals dare to make any changes, it is equivalent to wanting Cao Cao to die.

If not, with Cao Cao's friendship with Yuan Shao's family, Cao Ren would never let Yuan Shao go.But now, in order not to implicate Cao Cao, and facing Yuan Shao, Cao Ren can only be ruthless and stop him at Hu Laoguan.

Soon, according to the statistics of several personal soldiers, the three thousand soldiers in Hulao Pass have now killed nearly a thousand people in the battle, and many more were injured.

Hearing such news, Cao Ren breathed a sigh of relief. With these troops, he was at least confident that he would be able to hold on for a while, but he didn't know whether Yuan Shao, Ding Yuan and others under the city would still attack the city regardless of losses.

But it was said that the large camp under the city was the gathering of the remnants of Xiliang and the army of Ding Yuan, and the two sides together had nearly [-] people.

After some deliberation, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others finally chose to follow Li Ru's suggestion and lead the army to join Yuan Shao. In addition, Guo Si and Niu Fu said they did not express their position, but they were willing to advance and retreat with Yuan Shao. Let Yuan Shao have only two generals, Yan Liangwen Chou, to have tens of thousands of troops.

With tens of thousands of soldiers at his disposal, Yuan Shao was naturally full of confidence.

However, Yuan Shao's face was quite ugly at the moment, and the faces of the generals in the big tent were very ugly. After all, their tens of thousands of troops were actually blocked under the city for so long. If it is to prove the attack on Hulao Pass If so, that's fine. Everyone knows how easy to defend and hard to attack the front of Hulao Pass. The key is to attack Hulao Pass from behind. The difficulty is almost reduced by ten times. Even so, they lost so much. Most of them were not able to break through the Hulao Pass. Wouldn't it be even more difficult to prove the attack?

Ding Yuan sat there with his beard stroked, gave Yuan Shao a gloomy look and said, "In the beginning, we have already filled in more than [-] soldiers, if we want to break through the Hulao Pass, we will have to fill in more. More soldiers..."

The [-] soldiers accounted for almost one-tenth of all their troops. In this era, if an army had more than one-tenth of its casualties and not collapsed, it could already be called an elite.

No wonder Ding Yuan's face was so ugly. After all, these were all elites, and it would be heart-wrenching for any casualties, not to mention so many casualties all at once.

The most important thing is that these are still elite cavalry, but the result is that they attack the city like synchronous pawns, and it is not worth dying to die.

Yuan Shao felt aggrieved. You must know that when he learned that the guard at Hulao was Cao Ren, Yuan Shao patted his chest and assured Ding Yuan that Hulao was easy to get off.

However, to Yuan Shao's disappointment, Cao Ren had no intention of releasing water because of his friendship with Cao Cao, let alone releasing water. He even led his troops into battle to boost morale. If not, how could they have suffered such heavy losses.

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and a ruthless expression flashed in his eyes: "There has been news that Chu Yi is raising the army, I am afraid that tomorrow will be able to reach Hulao Pass, there is not much time left for us, If we can't cross Hulao Pass before sunset, we will only have a dead end."

After saying that, Yuan Shao looked at Ding Yuan and said, "Sir, it's time to make up your mind."

Ding Yuan sighed slightly: "Forget it, now I can only give it a shot regardless of the casualties of the soldiers. I pass my order and order the whole army to have a feast. withdraw troops."

In the past, Ding Yuan always cared about his soldiers and didn't want to lose too many soldiers in vain, so he didn't let go of attacking the city, but as Yuan Shao said, now their time is running out, and if they don't work hard, they will have no chance. .

The setting sun was like blood, and a breeze blew through with a bloody aura. Cao Ren, who was standing on the city wall in blood-stained armor, could not help but look extremely ugly when he looked at the tens of thousands of troops below. .

Several Cao clan soldiers stood beside Cao Ren, and one of them couldn't help but said to Cao Ren, "Brother, looking at this situation, Yuan Shao and the others are going to try their best. "

Cao Ren saw Cao Hong alone. Cao Ren was appointed by Chu Yi as the guard of Hulao, but Cao Cao was worried and secretly transferred Cao Hong and Xiahouyuan to help Cao Ren.

If it weren't for Cao Hong and Xiahouyuan's strong support, Cao Ren alone would not be able to stop the offensive of Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Guo Si and other generals.

But now, even the conceited people like Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Xia Houyuan looked at the black soldiers below and completely lost their confidence in defending the Hulao Pass.

After all, what they were facing was not a frontal siege of the city. If it was a frontal siege, the three of them were absolutely sure to use [-] soldiers to stop tens of thousands of troops, even if it was more than a month.

The key point is that now they are facing the offensive from the back, and it is quite difficult to be able to hold on to this level.

Cao Ren took a deep breath, closed his eyes slowly, and when he opened them again, a stern expression flashed in his eyes: "Pass my order, open the city gate, and all the soldiers gather at the general's mansion in the city."

Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan were both stunned when they heard the words, and looked at Cao Ren in astonishment, Cao Hong's upright nature almost said on the spot, "Brother, what do you mean, even if we die, we have to fight, like this. Open the city gate, isn't it letting the other side kill it?"

On the other hand, Xiahou Yuan stroked his beard, and there was a faint glint in his eyes. He nodded slowly and said, "It's not bad to gamble like this. I think Yuan Shao should understand our intention to open the city gate."

Hearing what Xiahouyuan said, Cao Hong couldn't help but look confused. Looking at Xiahouyuan and then Cao Ren, he seemed to be the only one who didn't know what was going on.

With a punch on the city wall, Cao Hong grinned and said, "Forget it, Meng De said, let me follow the orders of the two brothers."
