Atop a high hill, Lin Han and Cao Cao sat in the breeze, drinking wine by the charcoal lamp on a rock, gazing at Hulao Pass in the distance. As the other princes led their troops away, the two men made no attempt to stop them, nor did they offer any grand speeches; they simply watched in silence.
The two armies were lined up behind, with nearly two million regular troops and countless player militias.
The majestic pass is ahead, the spring breeze is blowing with a chill, among the millions of soldiers, there are only these two people cooking wine, sitting and looking at the long road to the majestic pass.
"Brother Xiao, as the leader of the alliance, why didn't you stop them from leaving?" Cao Cao asked.
"Brother Cao, if an imperial decree comes from Luoyang, granting you the position of governor of Xuzhou, will you accept it or not?" Lin Han did not give a direct answer, but asked in return.
"this……"
Cao Cao paused as he was raising his glass, speechless for a moment.
"We have made an oath before, and I dare not break it. When we enter Luoyang, it will be fine."
"Indeed, the oath came first." Lin Han nodded. "We know it was Dong Zhuo's conspiracy, but there is no solution to this conspiracy. The world is in chaos today, and there are thousands of fine wines in the world, but a cup in hand is better."
"Hahahahahaha, that's it." Cao Cao laughed towards the sky, and the two of them raised their glasses and drank.
The twenty princes swore an oath, and the karma will be retaliated against them. The princes who left had broken the oath and would definitely suffer the consequences of the karma.
Lin Hanyao looked at Hulao Pass with a clear conscience, but he had no idea what happened to the others.
"Brother Xiao, the world is in chaos, and I'm afraid you're the only hero left."
"I don't want to be a hero."
“Hahahahahahahaha…”
The two men looked at each other and smiled, and the smile echoed around Hulao Pass.
"Brother Xiao, why don't you and I improvise a poem here?" Cao Cao said with emotion as he looked at Hulao Pass in front of him.
"Brother Cao, my name is Shaowen, please go in." Lin Han said.
"Okay, then I'll show you how ugly I am."
Cao Cao stood on a high hill and looked at Hulao Pass in the distance, feeling full of emotion.
Singing in the wind:
However, during the 22nd generation of the Han Dynasty, the people appointed were truly incompetent.
A monkey wearing a crown and a hat, knowing little but seeking to become strong.
Hesitant and not daring to make a decision, he went hunting and captured the king.
When a white rainbow penetrates the sun, the person will be the first to suffer.
The traitorous ministers held the power of the country and took the master to destroy Yujing.
The emperor's foundation was destroyed and the ancestral temple was burned down for funeral rites.
After the matter was settled, Cao Cao looked at Luoyang and sighed. The country was in ruins, the war never stopped, and now bandits were everywhere. He didn't know where the future would lie.
"Brother Xiao, it's your turn to compose an impromptu poem." Cao Cao said with a smile.
"Brother Cao is very talented. I am not good at writing, so I don't show off. But now I think of a humble remark." Lin Han didn't want to copy poems and essays from later generations at this time, but there was one thing he wanted to say.
"Brother Xiao, please speak."
"It is said: The long and arduous road is as hard as iron. One day he will start over again."
"What a heroic and courageous journey!" Cao Cao praised, and the two men raised their glasses and drank.
When the excitement was over, an urgent report came from the spy.
News came from Sun Jian's troops that Sun Jian and Yang Ji led the troops and defeated Lu Bu's troops in Yangrenju, captured Xincheng and headed north to Yique Pass.
Dong Zhuo personally led his troops to fight against Sun Jian.
This is good news amidst a lot of bad news.
On the third day, there was movement in Hulao Pass. Li Jue, Zhang Ji, Guo Si and others led troops back to Luoyang to support, leaving Li Su and Jia Xu to guard it. Now there are only one million regular troops guarding Hulao Pass, and the rest are players' Ming soldiers.
Morale dropped again.
Lin Han was not in a hurry to attack Hulao Pass as the time was not right.
Jia Xu is in Guanzhong. It won't be too late to attack after he brings the message.
Ten days later, the spies finally brought back an urgent report.
Sun Jian led his troops to fight against Dong Zhuo's army at Yique Pass and won.
In the Battle of Yique Pass, 30 million people participated in the battle. The two sides outnumbered each other two to one, and defeated Dong Zhuo's troops. Dong Zhuo retreated to Luoyang and Yique Pass was broken.
Lin Han was overjoyed when he heard the news that Sun Jian had occupied Yique Pass.
The trend is established.
So what if there are no eighteen princes? We can still defeat Dong Zhuo. Now we just have to wait for Dong Zhuo to lose his composure.
Lin Han had nothing to do, so he stood on the top of a high hill every day, looking at Hulao Pass from afar. Many players were angry at Lin Han for not attacking forcefully.
But Lin Han was the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and they could do nothing.
Some players who couldn't stand it left Hulao Pass and headed to Luoyang, ready to wait for the next battle.
In Luoyang, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was a gloomy atmosphere.
Yique Pass was broken, Luoyang was in sight, and there was no natural barrier anymore. Once Sun Jian had reorganized his army, he could march towards Luoyang.
Dong Zhuo drank alone, and no one else dared to say anything.
Just lost the battle.
It was thought that by keeping the Marquis of Guanjun out of Hulao Pass, the combat effectiveness of the princes' armies could be suppressed. However, Sun Jian was so terrifying that he defeated Lu Bu in succession and broke through Yique Pass. He only needed to wait for the repairs to be completed before he could raise his troops to Luoyang.
Sun Jian refused to budge. He sent Li Jue to persuade him personally, and offered to enfeoff members of the Sun family as governors and prefects in various prefectures and counties throughout the country, and to give his daughter as a marriage partner, but he was still rejected.
I can't win by force, and I won't accept soft approaches.
It has just been reported that Niu Fu was defeated by the Baibo Army, and now he seems to be worried about being attacked from all sides.
"What should we do now?" Dong Zhuo smashed the wine glass in his hand and asked the four people.
Seeing that no one said anything, he looked at Li Ru.
"Wenyou, do you have any countermeasures?"
"Prime Minister, the enemy's front is surging. The only solution now is to ask the emperor to order the relocation of the capital to avoid their attack." Li Ru said.
"Move the capital?" Dong Zhuo was stunned, then his expression brightened slightly: "Is it feasible?"
"Of course it's possible."
"Yes, Wenyou, when the emperor leaves, kill Liu Bian first and don't let him fall into the hands of the princes." Dong Zhuo said with a sharp look.
"promise."
"When the Emperor moves the capital, you will drive the people of Luoyang to Chang'an. I, the Prime Minister, will stay in Luoyang and fight those villains. I will not accept my defeat at the hands of Sun Jian."
After the plot was over, Dong Zhuo led his troops into the palace.
…
Jia Xu was at Hulao Pass, thinking about how to break through it.
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared outside the window and the Jinyiwei sneaked into it.
