Lu Dynasty

Chapter 217 Hulao Pass

After releasing Gongsun Zan, Xu Rong gave me a thumbs up and said, "Sir, you really think differently. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't know that such eloquence exists in the world. This caused conflicts among the enemy. "

I laughed and said, "This is because Yuan Shao is too incompetent. If Cao is the leader, I can't speak against Gongsun Zan." In fact, there are many people who are more eloquent than me, like Su Qin, Zhang Yi, etc., but Xu Rong wanted to meet him, but it was impossible. As for Zhuge Liang who scolded Wang Lang to death in the legend, he was probably still helping Zhuge Xuan make soy sauce. (: Many parents will ask their children to buy soy sauce or something. I also bought it when I was young).

"Rong has gained a lot of knowledge today. In the future, Rong will often ask his husband for advice, and I hope he will not hesitate to give him advice!" Xu Rong said to me very sincerely.

I patted Xu Rong on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to. If you have any questions, you can discuss it with me!" Xu Rong nodded to me.

"Let's go! The Prime Minister may be waiting impatiently at Hulao Pass!" Hua Xiong said to Xu Rong and me after gathering the troops and disposing of the dead bodies on the ground.Now that the chasing soldiers have been resolved, we rushed to Hulao Pass without haste.

Not too far away from us, Gongsun Zan started counting the white horse followers under his command.The statistical results made his heart ache, and his hatred for Yuan Shao increased a lot.After he returned to Sishui Pass, Yuan Shao and the others were very surprised when they saw him, but Gongsun Zan's eyes shot fire when he saw Yuan Shao.Because Gongsun Zan remembered my words, he didn't do anything radical, and his anger was also considered by Yuan Shao to be resentment towards me.

Yuan Shao asked: "Bogui, why are you in such a mess?"

Gongsun Zan thought in his heart: It's not your fault!But he couldn't say that, so Gongsun Zan replied: "I'm chasing Lu Feng, I don't want him to lie in ambush on the road and wait for me!"

"What!" Yuan Shao interrupted Gongsun Zan and said, "You were defeated by Lu Feng's 500 men?"

Gongsun Zan was already very upset with Yuan Shao, so he said, "Can you listen to what I'm saying?" Yuan Shao looked at Gongsun Zan and didn't want to provoke him anymore.Yuan Shao thought to himself: God knows if Gongsun Zan will take the anger of defeat on himself. Although he is not afraid, Yuan Shao is still unwilling to do such a thing that is harmful to unity.

Gongsun Zan continued: "I was chasing Lu Feng on the road, but I saw him waiting for me on the road with 500 people. I wanted to capture him and come back, but from the forest behind him, Hua Xiong brought more than ten thousand Xiliang iron cavalry I rushed out. Seeing the situation was wrong, I wanted to evacuate, but Dong Zhuo's subordinate Xu Rong, with [-] cavalry, cut off my retreat!"

"Then how did you escape?" Yuan Shu asked suspiciously, "Didn't you, Gongsun Zan, defect to the enemy?"

Gongsun Zan drew out his sword and pointed at Yuan Shu, saying, "Yuan Gonglu! There are only white horse generals who died in battle, and there is no Gongsun Zan who bowed his knees and surrendered. If you keep talking nonsense, I will fight you forever!"

Seeing Gongsun Zan's angry look, Yuan Shu scratched his head in confusion. He thought to himself: Why don't I just talk casually? Why is he so excited?He didn't know that what I said had already made Gongsun Zan hate the Yuan family extremely.Yuan Shu looked at the crazy Gongsun Zan, and knew that he was upset that I had just repaired him, so Yuan Shu didn't tease Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan said: "Thanks to these white horse righteous followers, they fought to the death and opened a bloody path for me to escape! After I escaped from the siege, my white horse righteous followers will only be left with these people!"

Yuan Shao looked at the grief-stricken Gongsun Zan and sighed, "Could it be that no one can stop this Lu Feng? If it weren't for him, our Kwantung Allied Army wouldn't have worked so hard. I really hope that someone can get rid of this Lu Feng! "Gongsun Zan thought with anger in his eyes: Isn't this just what you Yuan Shao wanted?"We are all weakened, and you can rule the world and become the emperor!Of course, Gongsun Zan's anger was taken for granted by Yuan Shao as his resentment towards me.

Not to mention Yuan Shao, after defeating Gongsun Zan, Xu Rong, Hua Xiong and I came directly to Hulao Pass.

It is said that the Hulao Pass was named after King Mu of the Western Zhou Dynasty where he imprisoned the tiger. The pass seems to be embedded in two mountains.Sishui Pass can be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Hulao Pass is impossible to attack by force.

Dong Zhuo knew we were back, so he took Li Ru and Lu Bu to meet us.Dong Zhuo saw me and said, "Ba Xian has worked hard! I heard that you are going to ambush the Kwantung Allied Forces. I specially sent Xu Rong to lead [-] cavalry to help the battle. How is the battle going?"

"The eight thousand white horses who defeated Gongsun Zan and captured Gongsun Zan alive!" I laughed and said, "But I let Gongsun Zan go!"

Li Ru said gloomyly: "Baxian, you don't want to join the enemy!" Xu Rong just wanted to say something, but I stopped him.I smiled at Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo looked at me very seriously.If others didn't know, they would think Dong Zhuo and I were having an affair.

Suddenly Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "Baxian must have a deep meaning in this move! I don't believe that Baxian would join the Kwantung Allied Forces, even the Yuan brothers, Baxian would not be willing to submit to them. What's more, Baxian valued love Chong Yi, my wife and brother are still with me, how could I disregard their lives and go to join the Kwantung Allied Army?"

I laughed and said, "The one who knows me is the prime minister! Xu Rong, you can say it now!" Xu Rong told Dong Zhuo exactly what I said to him.

After listening to Xu Rong's words, Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "Baxian is Baxian. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, I knew that Baxian had great talents. Looking at it now, it can be said that I have been blessed by God!" To be honest Dong Zhuo looks majestic when he is not smiling, but when he smiles, he opens his mouth like a hippopotamus. The most rare thing is that his daughter doesn't look like him at all, maybe she looks like her mother.Otherwise, it is said that Li Ru's pillow sleeps with a female hippopotamus every day, I think no one can bear it.It is no wonder that all the court ladies who were violated by Dong Zhuo were basically killed by Dong Zhuo or committed suicide.Even in modern times, anyone who is violated by a human-like animal will feel bad, let alone in the Han Dynasty.

Li Ru also apologized to me with a smile and said, "Just now I doubted Ba Xian, so don't be surprised!"

"Mr. Li doesn't have to be like this. With Mr. Li's wisdom, he must be able to see through my plan. It must be that Mr. Li knew my intentions, so he didn't expose it!" I said with a smile: "So, Feng also needs to thank you sir!"

Li Ru was embarrassed by what I said, but he didn't get entangled in this matter anymore.Li Ru asked: "General Lu, when will the allied forces of the princes arrive?"

"It should be soon, tomorrow night at the latest! After all, it's only less than a day's journey from here to Sishuiguan. If they rush all night, they should arrive in the morning!" I said, "But I think Yuan Shao should You don’t think you’ll see me again so soon!” Everyone laughed after hearing my words.
