Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 222 After the War
In the evening, the Allied camp was ablaze with flames.Lin Chun lay peacefully in a pitch-black coffin, surrounded by Zhao Lei and the generals, at this moment, white paper money was scattered all over the sky, Zhao Lei also grabbed a handful, threw it into the sky, muttering Muttering to himself: "Lin Chun, let's go. If there is an afterlife, I hope your fate will not be so sad! Don't be reincarnated in this troubled world again, and you can have a happy life. Well, no matter what, I hope you will go all the way. Go, you will always be my best subordinate."

"My lord, the lord asked you to go to his big tent, saying that it was to discuss the military situation." Ye Wei walked over and said to Zhao Lei in a low voice.He knew that Zhao Lei was very sad about Lin Chun's death, so he tried to lower his tone when speaking.

"I see." Zhao Lei calmed down and nodded.

"Come on, bury Lin Chun! Build a tombstone so that he can rest in peace." After speaking, Zhao Lei glanced at Lin Chun in the coffin for the last time, his eyes full of reluctance and sadness, and then took Zhang Han and Zhao Yun walk away.

The atmosphere in Yuan Shao's big tent at this time was solemn, none of the princes spoke, listening to a soldier under the steps reading today's post-war statistics.

"Except for Lord Cao and General Zhao's horses, which have not yet been counted, more than half of the horses of the other lords have been damaged. Our allied army originally had more than [-] troops, but after counting it now, there are only about [-] left." The soldier said.

After hearing what the soldiers said, Yuan Shao frowned, and then slowly said: "Our army suffered such a huge loss in this battle, what about the Xiliang army's damage?"

"The Xiliang army is probably not much better than our allied army. Based on the dead and wounded Xiliang army corpses in front of Hulao Pass, there are more than [-]." The soldier said.

"It seems that 5 horses is not a small blow to Dong Zhuo." Yuan Shao said with some relief at this time.

Seeing Yuan Shao's calm expression, the expressions of the other princes also relaxed a little.Seeing that they were indifferent after losing the battle, Zhao Lei immediately became angry. He must know that he had helped the entire Allied army with good intentions and good intentions. , thinking that tens of thousands of people who beat and disabled Dong Zhuo would be complacent when they scolded them.Seeing this scene, Zhao Lei finally understood why the allied forces in history could not destroy Dong Zhuo.

At this time, Zhao Lei was about to step forward to spur them and sound the alarm for them.But at this moment, two hands were holding him.Zhao Lei turned his head and saw that Zhang Han grabbed his arm, and Cao Cao blocked him with one hand. Zhao Lei was a little confused, but he obeyed the two of them and temporarily restrained the anger in his heart. step forward.

Seeing that Zhao Lei had calmed down, Cao Cao stood up and clasped his fists at Yuan Shao and said, "Leader, killing Dong Zhuo's 5 horses is not something to be thankful for, because our own damage is also great. You must know that if our army continues to fight for a long time If we fight this kind of war of attrition with Dong Zhuo, our allies will be dragged down by him."

"Then what do you say, Meng De?" Yuan Shao seemed a little dissatisfied with Cao Cao's words, and his tone was very stiff.

"Leader, Hulao Pass can only be outsmarted and cannot be attacked by force. Therefore, I hope that the leader will stop casually commanding the army to rush towards the pass like today. This will only waste the number of my allies in vain. The leader is wise. You are wise, I believe the leader should understand what Cao said." Cao Cao ignored Yuan Shao's dissatisfaction and continued.

"I know you want to say these things too, but you must know that your allies are the most envied, so you must not make such a head, so as not to deepen the hostile relationship with the princes! These words should really come from Cao Cao Say it." Just as Cao Cao stood up to speak, Zhang Han whispered in Zhao Lei's ear.

Zhao Lei nodded, indicating that he understood.

After Yuan Shao heard Cao Cao's words, although he was very angry, he was not easy to get angry.Cao Cao's words were directly saying that he was not good at commanding today, which was a bit ugly for the face-saving Yuan Shao.But Yuan Shao couldn't help it. After all, Cao Cao was telling the truth. At that time, Yuan Shao really shouldn't have let the army rush to Hulao Pass to grab the city gate. This was indeed a mistake in his command, so he had nothing to do with Cao Cao.Besides, if it weren't for Zhao Lei and Cao Cao's divorce, it is estimated that the Allied forces would have lost more.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao said: "Then what do you guys think about Meng De's proposal to outwit Hulao Pass?" Yuan Shao avoided the important issue and bypassed the question of his command error, and started asking everyone about the strategy to conquer Hulao Pass.

"Lv Bu was defeated by General Zhao today. I believe Dong Zhuo must have realized that we should not rely too much on Lv Bu's bravery in dealing with our allies. So I think Dong Zhuo may choose to stick to Hulao Pass after this battle and use the tiger The natural barriers of the prison pass are here to stop the advance of our allied forces. Speaking of this, I can't help but think of a way, that is, General Zhao's way to conquer Sishui Pass." Cao Cao said.

"Meng De, are you referring to finding a way to enter Hulao Pass for a sneak attack?" Zhao Lei asked at this time.

Cao Cao nodded.

"Zihan, since Meng De said that, what do you think?" Yuan Shao turned his head and asked Zhao Lei again.

"It's a good idea, but I'm afraid that Hulao Pass won't have secret passages like Sishui Pass!" Zhao Lei said.In fact, when attacking Sishui Pass, Zhao Lei already knew from Ling Cao's information here that there is no so-called secret way in Hulao Pass, but in front of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and the princes, Zhao Lei could not tell them that he had Just investigate, so I said it so tactfully.

"Zihan's words are quite right, so I think it's best for us to stay put and send someone to investigate the terrain near Hulao Pass before making a decision," Cao Cao said.

"Forget it, that's the only way to go." Yuan Shao himself couldn't think of any other way, so he could only act according to Cao Cao's suggestion.

After losing the battle this time, everyone was not interested in discussing it any longer. Everyone waved their hands and went back to camp.

When Zhao Lei returned to his camp, he unexpectedly found that everyone had gathered together.

As soon as Zhao Lei entered the account, he asked, "What's the matter? Why are you all gathered together?"

"My subordinates are meeting with the lord. I haven't seen the lord for many days. How is the lord?" At this time, an old man in a black python robe bowed to Zhao Lei and cupped his fists.

"Mr. Wang, are you coming back?" Zhao Lei said excitedly, the person who spoke earlier was Wang Yue.

"Yes, my subordinate's intelligence work in the Sili area has been basically completed, so my subordinate set off to Kanto to meet the lord." Wang Yue said seriously.

At this time, Zhao Lei looked Wang Yue up and down, and seemed to find that Wang Yue, who had not seen him for several months, was much more energetic, so Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Mr. Wang has made great contributions to our Yangzhou Army this time. The dead man Ling Cao helped me find out the secret way to enter Sishui Pass, so that we can finally take down Sishui Pass without bloodshed, and let the princes of the world look at our Yangzhou soldiers with admiration. Unfortunately, at the time of checking the secret passage One night, Ling Cao died." At this point, Zhao Lei's originally excited expression suddenly dimmed.

"My lord, does Ling Cao's death have something to do with the assassination of my lord? Did someone set up an ambush for my lord somewhere in the secret passage of Sishui Pass?" Wang Yue said.

After hearing this, Zhao Lei couldn't help but admire Wang Yue's insight and imagination.

"Mr. Wang is right, someone assassinated me when I went to check the secret passage of Sishui Pass, but they failed." Zhao Lei said.

"Who is that man? How dare you assassinate the lord, the subordinates must catch him and avenge the lord!" Wang Yue said angrily.

"It's Liu Bei. But he fled here after the assassination attempt, and now I don't know where he will go. Besides, Dong Zhuo, the great enemy, is in front of me, so I don't have time to track down Liu Bei's whereabouts." Zhao Lei said.

"Wait, my lord, now that Mr. Wang has completed the intelligence work in Luoyang, why not let Mr. Wang take these dead men to investigate Liu Bei's whereabouts?" Jia Xu suggested.

Zhao Lei clapped the case after hearing this, and shouted, "By the way, why didn't I think of it? Mr. Wang, would you like this job?"

"As long as it is the command of the lord, the subordinate will definitely obey it. However, the subordinate would like to ask Jia Junshi, the world is so big, where should I put my target first?"

"It's not easy. Of course, the first choice must be Yangzhou and Jingzhou." Jia Xu laughed.

Hearing Jia Xu mentioned Yangzhou and Jingzhou, Zhao Lei immediately understood Jia Xu's intentions, so he followed what Jia Xu said: "Mr. The task is for you and your dead men to find out the information of the counties of Yangzhou and Jingzhou, so as to facilitate our future strategy."

"Then, my lord, what should my subordinates do if they find Liu Bei in Yangzhou and Jingzhou?" Wang Yue asked.

"Don't kill him, just keep an eye on it. If Liu Bei is really active around Yangzhou and Jingzhou, wouldn't he be a reason for us to declare war on these places?" Zhao Lei laughed.

"My lord said so, the subordinate understands." Wang Yue said.

"By the way, Mr. Wang, how is the matter I asked you to meet in Luoyang?" Zhao Lei asked Wang Yue.

"My lord, don't worry, everything has been taken care of, and they have entered Luoyang." Wang Yue said.

After Zhao Lei heard this, he nodded in satisfaction. Regarding Guo Jia and Gao Lan's surprise attack on Luoyang, everyone present except Zhang Han, Zhao Yun and Wang Yue was at a loss.
