However, Guo Jia shook his head.

"I suggest that Prime Minister Liu lead his troops to Huanyuan Pass."

Only then did Liu Bei remember that Zhang Jiao was in Huanyuan Pass and might be in danger at this moment.

After a brief preparation, Liu Bei handed over the task of arranging the prisoners of war to some princes, and then led his troops and Guan and Zhang to Huanyuan Pass on the southwest side.

As the pass guarding the south of Luoyang, even if there were no hidden ambushes at Huanyuan Pass, the first pass that the soldiers coming from the south of Luoyang would encounter would be this pass.

Therefore, in the eyes of Liu Bei and others, Zhang Jiao might be fighting against tens of thousands of enemy troops at this moment.

But when Liu Bei and others led their troops to the pass, they found corpses everywhere in front of the pass.

But it was not the Yellow Turban Army, but Dong Zhuo's Army.

The city gate opened, welcoming the surprised Liu Bei and others into the pass.

But what Liu Bei saw was not Madam Zhang resting in her mansion, but the great and virtuous teacher riding on a war horse and preparing to march.

"Sister Xuande." Zhang Jiao nodded to Liu Bei.

Then he nodded to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Mrs. Zhang, this is..."

"Go north and attack Luoyang." Zhang Jiao said and looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia also spoke up to explain to Liu Bei and the others: "We should be the surprise force to help the lord break through the capital."

Chapter 326: Facing the enemy head-on, Sima helps Dong 4K

"The enemy is about to encircle our army!"

A general shouted, and Liu Zhaoqing looked up and forward.

Dong Zhuo's troops continued to pour out of Luoyang City and dispersed in all directions, as if preparing to completely trap the coalition forces stationed between the two mountains like a big net.

"I will lead my men to break through from the side." Seeing this, Cao Cao decisively ordered Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren to lead the troops to the right.

At this time, Yuan Shao also came to Liu Zhaoqing.

"Sister Benchu, you and your troops will guard the left side." Liu Zhaoqing said to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao nodded, but he was still worried: "The rear..."

"I believe they can hold the rear." Liu Zhaoqing said confidently.

Almost at the same time as he said this, several thunders suddenly sounded from the sky behind him.

When many soldiers looked back, they were filled with confusion and surprise.

Liu Zhaoqing understood that this must be the battle between Liu, Guan and Zhang and the ambush set up by Dong Zhuo behind them.

It was completely reassuring to leave the rear to Liu, Guan, Zhang and Liu Zhaoqing, not only because these three were strong but also because they were completely reliable allies who would not cause any accidents.

And that’s because there are not only these three people in the rear, but also Guo Jia and Zhang Jiao.

Compared with Yuan Shao's worries, Liu Zhaoqing was more concerned about the army ahead.

"My benefactor... there is more than one Lu Bu in Dong Zhuo's army." Zhang Liao suddenly said.

Liu Zhaoqing looked and found that under the cover of night, there were at least three Lu Bu leading Dong Zhuo's troops forward.

Although he knew clearly that these three Lu Bu were definitely fake, they were all disguised by a trace of power from the evil god Qiongqi, and were just ordinary generals with the same appearance.

But at this juncture, no one dared to bet whether one of the three Lu Bu was real.

When the left and right wings under the charge of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao saw Lu Bu coming, they immediately sent their generals to fight him. If they were torn open, the army would be in an extremely dangerous situation.

The same is true for Liu Zhaoqing, but when facing "Lü Bu", Liu Zhaoqing's handling is more radical.

He had Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and Xun Yu and Jia Xu as his literary talents. With the left and right wings defended by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao as the main troops, he could rest assured of breaking through the middle.

Since Dong Zhuo wanted to transform himself into a big net to wrap up the entire anti-Dong coalition, Liu Zhaoqing would be the sharp spearhead and tear the "net" into pieces directly from the middle.

"Wenyuan, come with me to help Zilong defeat the enemy!"

Liu Zhaoqing rode his horse and led his troops towards Zhao Yun who was fighting in the front, and Zhang Liao immediately called on a group of Yellow Turban troops to follow.

What Liu Zhaoqing didn't realize was that when he just left the place, Jia Xu behind him was about to reach out to stop him, but he didn't expect Liu Zhaoqing to be too decisive and quick.

Before Jia Xu stretched out his hand halfway and opened his mouth to speak, he seemed to turn into a wisp of smoke and rushed up with a whoosh.

The reason why Jia Xu wanted to stop it was very simple. Liu Zhaoqing was the commander of the army and the leader of the anti-Dong coalition. It was unreasonable for him to stay on the front line of the battlefield at this critical moment.

For a general of this level, the correct and common approach is to look at the sand table and map at the camp, wait for the soldiers to report on the battle situation, analyze the situation with his advisers, plan and win the battle thousands of miles away.

But Liu Zhaoqing is an exception.

"Miss Xun, why don't you speak?" Jia Xu said to Xun Yu at this time.

Xun Yu smiled instead: "Because instead of speaking out to stop it, it is better to provide assistance."

"He has always been like this, leading the charge. This is why the Yellow Turban Army is so eager to fight and why they are able to defeat the enemy with a small number of troops."

With such a commander leading the way, the soldiers were of course brave and fearless.

"But in this case, the safety of our lord..." Jia Xu frowned.

"He has experienced more dangerous times than now." Xun Yu said, "Besides, don't worry, he is not as fragile as you think."

Having experienced the Luoyang Rebellion, the disasters caused by the eunuch party and the evil spirit, and the dead soldiers in the battle of Mobei and the threat of the Peng bird, Liu Zhaoqing has become an "old hand" in this situation.

Surviving a crisis once can be considered a fluke, but if it happens every time, it naturally means that Liu Zhaoqing must have strong strength and trump cards.

"Wenhe, you and I are ready to help him defeat the enemy." Xun Yu said.

After hearing this, Jia Xu looked at Liu Zhaoqing who was holding a sword and killing the enemy together with Zhang Liao and his Yellow Turban Army, and the worry in his heart gradually disappeared.

At this time, you really have to believe him.

-

At the front of the battlefield, Zhao Yun saw "Lü Bu" coming towards her, but she remained calm and did not retreat but advanced instead.

"You wait here to hold the line."

After giving orders to his men, Zhao Yun picked up his spear and pulled the reins. The white dragon raised its front hooves, neighed, and turned towards Lu Bu.

Then with a shout of "Gee!", Zhao Yun rushed towards "Lü Bu" with his spear in hand.

"Raise the halberd!"

When the vanguard of Dong Zhuo's army saw Zhao Yun coming alone, they immediately raised their halberds at the order of their leader to stop Bai Long.

But how could such obstruction be effective?

Bai Long didn't even look at them with his dark eyes. He just exerted a little force on his hind legs and jumped up. At the same time, Zhao Yun on horseback swept past with his spear.

A violent gust of wind, accompanied by a wave of air as white as substance, directly knocked a large number of halberd soldiers to the ground, causing some of them to fall to the ground unable to get up or die on the spot.

And Zhao Yun did not make any further attack on these halberd soldiers. Her target was very clear, which was "Lü Bu".

After passing the halberd soldiers, many spear soldiers stabbed at the white dragon's abdomen with spears.

Zhao Yun swept his spear again, and all the spears made of fine iron were cut off like fragile bamboo poles.

At the same time, the white dragon raised its front hooves and stomped the ground suddenly. All the spearmen and saber soldiers who wanted to get close to it lost their balance, swayed from side to side or fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the white dragon jumped up again and rushed straight towards "Lu Bu".

The spear in his hand was coated with a layer of silver glow, and Zhao Yun's eyes lit up with a hint of gold.

Her face was indifferent, and she stabbed with her spear, causing a dragon roar. A large number of soldiers in front were blown away. The white mist-like dragon that emerged from the spear was clearly visible, and the armor on the soldiers' bodies shattered wherever it passed.

The "Lü Bu" who was facing the dragon head had no time to react and was directly pierced through the body by the illusory and translucent spear intent.

Suddenly, "Lu Bu"'s figure exploded and disappeared from the world.

Not Lu Bu.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun did not stay here any longer. He rode the white dragon and quickly retreated, returning to the main force to fight the enemy together with Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Liao.

This casual coming and going was seen by Dong Zhuo and his advisers on the distant city wall. Although many of them had seen Zhao Yun many times, the scene of him entering and leaving his own army so casually still made people feel incredible.

"How heroic is this?"

"Why can't we stop her? If we let her charge into the battle line at will and kill all our generals, what will our army do?"

"Wait, General Hua Xiong is ambushing in the south. As long as we wait until General Hua Xiong defeats the enemy and arrives here, we can attack the rebel coalition from both sides. With his strength, he will definitely be able to defeat Zhao Yun!"

"But...it seems that Zhao Yun didn't even use the power of the earth spirit."

"..."

Zhao Yun's unparalleled performance made them worried, and many of them secretly looked at Dong Zhuo not far away.

Dong Zhuo looked down at the entire battlefield from a high position. At this time, Liu Zhaoqing's army was slowly forming a "human" shape.

Surrounded by his own army, Liu Zhaoqing not only did not retreat, but instead tried to take this opportunity to split them up and annihilate them.

The situation was not very good, or rather, taking the initiative to go out of the city gate to fight Liu Zhaoqing was not a very good decision.

Many counselors and generals on the city wall understood this, but no one dared to speak it out loud.

This was the decision made by the Prime Minister. Questioning the rationality of the decision is to question Dong Zhuo himself.

At this time, only a few individuals were qualified to give advice to Dong Zhuo without worrying too much about being blamed.

Li Ru is one of them.

Ever since the army left the city and took the initiative to attack the anti-Dong coalition, Li Ru has been nervously following every move on the distant battlefield.

When he saw Liu Zhaoqing react quickly and send Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to guard one side each to stabilize the situation immediately, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

And when the silver-white general was moving in and out and killing generals as if taking something from a bag, Li Ru knew that the biggest disadvantage of his side was now clearly revealed.

"We have no generals available, no great generals available. There are too many outstanding generals in the coalition forces..." Li Ru murmured.

This problem became apparent when Dong Zhuo was ambushed by Liu Zhaoqing in Hebei, but he did not and could not solve it in a short period of time.

How can a general continue to be loyal to a person who has lost the support of the people?

"Prime Minister." Li Ru walked to Dong Zhuo and bowed his head.

"Please ask the Prime Minister to order the army to withdraw to the city!"

"Although our army has 100,000 soldiers, we are not as skilled in coordination as the enemy, and our military strength is even lower than that of the enemy. At this moment, we should take advantage of the defense of Luoyang City to fight the enemy."

"With the help of the city defense, our army only needs a few thousand soldiers to defend against all enemy forces. The remaining soldiers can rest and train, and wait until the enemy forces outside the city are relaxed and tired before launching a surprise attack. This is the way to win!"

As soon as Li Ru said this, many counselors and generals agreed with him.

Dong Zhuo's purple eyes also revealed hesitation.

But at this moment, a dull voice drowned out the voices of approval.

"We must not retreat unless the Prime Minister is prepared to give Luoyang City to them."

The counselors and generals looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall and thin man wearing a dark hat and a black shirt appear behind Dong Zhuo.

Many people were surprised when this person appeared here, but more people immediately became defensive.

"Who are you?!"

"The aura emanating from his body... is very strange!"

……

"Don't panic, everyone. Like you, I am a subordinate who is here to help the Prime Minister." Sima Yi said calmly.

Li Ru looked at Sima Yi, then at Dong Zhuo, and thought to himself that Sima Yi was originally imprisoned in Dong Zhuo's mansion and was previously guarded by Hua Xiong himself. Now that he could appear here, it might be... Dong Zhuo's own idea.

After realizing this, Li Ru paused for a moment and looked at Sima Yi: "What did you just say? We can't retreat?"

"Yes." Sima Yi said again.

"It's certainly right to use Luoyang City to defend against the enemy. Even a thousand people are enough to defend against an army of 100,000 for at least half a year." Sima Yi said.

"Of course, this is for your majesty, or ordinary generals."

"At this time, there has been a panic in Luoyang City, with the anti-Dong coalition forces at the gates of the city. How many people are hoping for the Prime Minister's defeat? I think everyone present here should be aware of this." Sima Yi's face under the bamboo hat swept across everyone from left to right.

Everyone's expressions changed slightly. Although they understood it, how could they say such words?

"You know it, but you dare not speak it out." Sima Yi said directly.
