In Dong Zhuo's eyes, the fake emperor was the most important. Although it was a pity that the queen had run away, he could still rely on this fake emperor to order the ministers around.
The fake emperor knew his situation, and he had no choice but to accept it and not do anything else to go against Dong Zhuo.
Although he has lost his personal freedom, he can still be high and mighty, which is much better than not having enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear before.
He didn't even think about resisting.
However, when he attended the morning court the next day, he found that none of the ministers came.
There were only him and Dong Zhuo in the entire hall.
This put the two of them in an extremely awkward situation.
"What's going on? Where are the people?"
The fake emperor looked at Dong Zhuo in horror, fearing that he would get angry and hurt him.
"I don't know. I don't know why they didn't come."
"Someone, go check if these ministers have arrived! It's outrageous that they dare not come."
Dong Zhuo had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. To him, he was just killing a disobedient minister according to past practice.
You must know that the emperor is in their hands. If they don't come to court, it would be deceiving the emperor.
At this time, the subordinate came to report.
"Grand Master, none of the ministers have come to report."
"Go and inform them to come to court immediately."
"yes!"
Unfortunately, an hour passed and there were still only two people standing alone in the hall.
"What's going on? Where are they?"
"Sir, they said they were ill and could not attend court."
“………”
What else could Dong Zhuo do?
He couldn't go out of the city to arrest people, and since these ministers didn't come, he had no choice but to give up.
But after waiting for several days, these people said every day that they were too sick to walk.
At this time, Dong Zhuo really wanted to kill them all one by one.
But he removed several people and appointed several more.
But these appointed people did not come either.
Now Dong Zhuo understood that these people would no longer attend court.
Just when he realized the seriousness of the matter, someone came quickly to report from outside Hulao Pass.
"Grandmaster, this is bad news. The rebels are advancing rapidly and have already captured many cities. They will soon be at Hulao Pass."
"What! So fast!"
Dong Zhuo was also shocked.
But he quickly calmed down.
"It's okay. With Hua Xiong here, it won't be any use even if they have more people."
On the other hand, Yuan Shao was heartbroken when he heard that he had killed his uncle.
"Damn Dong Zhuo, you killed my uncle. I, Yuan Shao, will never forgive you."
"Alliance leader, the city ahead is Hulao City, the last city to Hulao Pass. If we capture it, we can use this city as a rear base to attack Hulao Pass."
They have been marching forward with their army these past few days, and no city dares to resist.
You have to know that they were rebelling against Dong Zhuo, and no one wanted to offend the coalition forces because of Dong Zhuo.
As soon as the army arrived, the county magistrate opened the city to welcome them.
This has made everyone accustomed to it.
They didn't care about Hulao City.
The fastest marching unit was Sun Jian's. His troops and the adventurers had the same temper and could not wait.
"Sir, why don't we just take Hulao Pass instead of Hulao City?"
"What do you mean? Did you find any loopholes in Hulao Pass?"
"Sir, I found a hunter who knows a small path leading to Hulao Pass. We can take Hulao Pass by surprise."
"Oh? Is this reliable?"
"Absolutely reliable." Zu Mao said, patting his chest.
"I..."
Sun Jian was just about to take a look at the map when Liu Dai, who was following closely behind him, passed directly past them.
"What is Liu Dai doing?"
"Sir, he's trying to steal the credit. Should we chase him?"
Sun Jian shook his head and said:
"No need for that. It would be a good thing if he could take Hulao Pass. Let him do it. Let's take down Hulao City first."
This Hulao City is a fictional city in the game.
It was built specifically for Hulao Pass.
There is a saying that goes, "If the city stands, the pass stands; if the city falls, the pass will be destroyed."
The person in charge of Hulao City is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu, who is a person Dong Zhuo has high hopes for.
He also preferred to stay in Hulao City because life in Hulao Pass was not as rich as that in the city.
Once the gate is closed, there is nothing else to do except stand guard.
It’s different in the city, it has everything.
The reason why Hulao Pass is outside the pass, not inside the pass.
This has a lot to do with Luoyang.
Hulao Pass is the closest pass to Luoyang, so naturally a city cannot be built there.
So Hulao City appeared outside.
This would not be a big problem under normal circumstances, but facing such a large army, any city would fall.
"General, the rebels are coming, what should we do?"
"The Grand Master told me to defend Hulao City to the death."
"But according to the intelligence, the enemy's number of people is simply incalculable. We can't withstand it."
"How far away are they?"
"It will only take an hour to surround us."
"What! So soon? Didn't you say yesterday that it would take two days?"
Niu Fu was immediately shocked.
"General, that was the intelligence from yesterday morning. Sun Jian's troops are now approaching quickly."
"Assholes, why didn't you report it earlier?"
"General, you are having a great time in Yihong Courtyard, and we are afraid to disturb your fun."
"Asshole, can't you tell which one is more important among such important matters?"
Niu Fu was almost driven crazy by the other party.
But with a powerful enemy at hand, he couldn't kill him, right?
"The enemy is too powerful. We can't hold on, but it's too late to retreat now."
"General, how about we split into two groups? One group retreats out of the city now, while the other group hides in the secret passages and waits for the right moment to catch them off guard?"
When Niu Fu heard this, he immediately thought it was a good idea.
"Great! Let's make the enemy think we're fleeing without a fight. Plus, I can explain this to the Grand Tutor. Okay, let's do this."
He had so many soldiers under his command that it was too late to withdraw them all. So he decided to take advantage of the situation and have some of them hide first.
This is also why it is said that Hulao City and Hulao Pass share weal and woe.
Hulao City was built for Hulao Pass.
Half an hour later, Sun Jian's scouts came to report.
"Report! The enemy in Tiger Prison City has escaped!"
Sun Jian smiled and was not surprised.
No city along the way will resist, so it's normal to run away here.
But he didn't want the enemy to get away so easily.
He ordered, "Our cavalry should catch up and bite off a piece for me."
"Yes, sir!"
Sun Jian was in Yangzhou, and it was a luxury for him to form a cavalry.
He finally gathered 10,000 war horses and formed a cavalry team.
Now this is where it comes in handy.
Zu Mao was overjoyed and immediately took the order and left.
The other cavalry players also followed.
