Chapter 1655:

Chapter 2043

The next day, the army in the middle stopped and stopped heading towards Hulao Pass.

All the princes were very confused by this.

At this time, the vanguard army headed by Zhou Ye was advancing like a broken bamboo, heading for Hulao Pass, and soon it was about to rush into the capital and take down the head of the national thief Dong Zhuo... Why is Yuan Shao, the leader of the army in the middle road? , suddenly stopped moving? ?

What is this situation? ?

A group of princes sent envoys to inquire...

As a result, I got the news that... the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao, suddenly contracted a serious illness and was unable to lead the army... Therefore, the current army is under the leadership of Yuan Shao's younger brother, Yuan Shu.

In view of Yuan Shao's physical condition, his younger brother Yuan Shu was deeply disturbed, so he decided to stop the march of the army and wait for Yuan Shao's condition to improve before making a decision.

For this kind of reason that is not a reason, all the princes understood the thoughts of the Yuan Brothers in seconds.

You guys are planning to back down and let us go to war and consume our power...

How many of those who can achieve the position of princes on one side are not enough brains? ?

So, for a while, all the princes also followed suit, pretending to be sick... You Yuan Shao is sick, can we not get sick? ?

You see, we are also sick due to soil and water problems... and we are all very sick, and we can't march.

In an instant, in the entire Central Plains, a strange scene appeared between the army of the Thief Alliance and Dong Zhuo's army of Xiliang...

Dong Zhuo's army, because of Zhou Ye's initial efforts, was in a state of panic all day long, for fear that one day Zhou Ye would lead the army to kill them, and what about the army of thieves? Instead of attacking Luoyang in one go, they were repaired in place one by one...

This made Li Jue and Guo Si, who were in charge of guarding Hulao Pass, confused.

"Brother, what kind of abacus do you think Yuan Shao is playing?? Why did he suddenly stop moving??" Guo Si said with a puzzled face.

"Who knows!" Li Jue also looked confused, "That Zhou Boyang's Jingzhou Iron Cavalry was really powerful. Although there were only 5,000, they killed only 1 out of 10 of our 30,000 troops... Now we only have less than 10 left in our hands. 20,000 people can only defend this Hulao Pass, relying on the Hulao natural security to deal with it... Anyway, what I said would not send troops!!"

"Big brother is right..." Guo Si couldn't help shivering when he heard Li Jue mention Zhou Ye... "If Big Brother didn't try to save me that day, I would have died at that **** dragon's gun. down!"

"You and my brother, what are you talking about!!" Li Jue waved his hand and said: "We are in this Hu Laoguan, and wait for the thieves to attack the city. When they attack, it will be the day of our revenge... …”

"I will only follow my elder brother's lead!"

Just when the two were just discussing the countermeasures, suddenly a soldier from outside ran in, "Report, report to the general... Our exploration horse is back!"

"Oh? What's the harvest!?" Li Jue hurriedly asked after hearing the report of the soldiers.

"They seem to have caught a food rush officer from Baima Yaozhai...!" The soldiers reported.

"The food rush officer??" After thinking about it, Li Jue ordered, "Quickly crimp him!"

"Here!" The soldiers responded, then turned and left the tent.

When it was not too long, a young man with scars all over his body was brought to Li Jue.

"I ask you, who is your master??" Li Jue asked.

"My master is Sun Jian, Sun Wentai, the prefect of Changsha!" The young man was also obedient and replied directly.

"Oh? How many rations do you still have in your army??"

"I... I'm just a food rush officer, how would I know about that kind of thing?" The man replied with a bitter face.

"Since I don't know, what's the use of keeping you... drag it down, it's cut!"

Following Li Jue's order, several soldiers from the Western Liang Dynasty rushed in, holding the man's shoulders and dragging them out...

This frightened the man quite a bit. "The little one knows, the little one knows... There are only three days of rations left in Sun Jian's army..."

Hearing the man's words, Li Jue laughed loudly and said, "Since you have already said it, it is even more useless to keep you... Drag it down, cut it, and pay homage to my brothers who died in battle!"

"No...General...No..."

With the man's shrill cry, he was dragged out of the handsome tent by several soldiers of the Western Liang Dynasty.

"Brother, do you think what this small school is telling the truth??" Guo Si asked.

"Haha..." Li Jue smiled and said, "Although this small school is fake, I guess what he said must be the truth..."

"Fake?? How did Big Brother see that?"

"How can one of his subordinates directly call his lord by name? Without the slightest respect for his lord, would such a person be entrusted with important responsibilities??" Li Jue laughed.

"Big brother is really amazing!!" Guo Si asked strangely after saying this: "But big brother, since this food rush officer is fake, why is the news he said true??"

"Hahaha...Second brother, you're still a little bit short on the grasp of people's hearts!" Li Jue laughed loudly: "I expect that this grain rush officer must be a dead man sent by other princes, and his purpose is to let us Go and capture Baima Yaozhai... Fight with that Zhou Boyang, and they can take advantage of it!"

"Why are they like this??"

"The eighteen princes, bah, except for Zhou Boyang of Jingzhou, the other princes are like mustards in my eyes..." Li Jue said disdainfully: "These thieves, who are fighting for power and profits, will break their heads, and they will be the first to attack the alliance... marching to fight. , just one idiot..."

"Then big brother, are we going to fight??" Guo Si asked.

"What kind of battle is going on, the confinement is closed, and we will never go to battle!" Li Jue said with a smile: "They are fighting infighting on their own, we just need to wait... After a few days of starving Zhou Ye's army, he will be a man of iron. It will also become weak in the hands and feet... At that time, we will naturally go out of the gate and be ashamed!"

"Brother's trick..."

At this moment, another Xiliang soldier suddenly rushed in and reported: "Report, General... Mr. Li Ru, who is always serving, leading 50,000 reinforcements, has arrived before the pass... Calling for the pass!"

"Oh?? Please come soon!!" Li Jue was overjoyed when he heard the soldier's words, "Sir Xiangguo really didn't forget us... This is sending reinforcements for us!"

"Second brother, come with me to meet Master Li Ru!"

"Yes!"

Li Jue and Guo Si, the two of them, took a step and walked out...

Not long after, it came to the front...

Li Jue ordered someone to open the city gate... Sure enough, a man dressed in civilian service was riding his horse in front of the army... It was none other than Dong Zhuo's advisor, Li Ru.

"Lord Li Ru, you are really timely..." Seeing Li Ru, Li Jue immediately smiled and cupped his hands: "If Lord Xiangguo doesn't send reinforcements, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold this Hulao Pass. !"

"Hahaha... General Li Jue is too modest. With the danger of the tiger prison, can the general be no match for Zhou Ye and Zhou Boyang?" Li Ru laughed.
