Chapter 39
Yuan Wei had a high status and was the representative of the Yuan clan. Everyone was very regretful to know that Yuan Wei was killed.
Everyone gritted their teeth, sighed, and spoke to comfort Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao felt his heart being stabbed, and he wished he could eat Dong Zhuo raw, and shouted, "I must kill that old thief Dong Zhuo!"
Yuan Shao, who had such deep hatred, was now completely different from before.
His words were fierce and frightening, and everyone was terrified.
As a result, Yuan Shao's control over the entire alliance army greatly increased.
Under these circumstances, even Yuan Shu who had always looked down on Yuan Shao as the son of the mistress in the Yuan family dare not say a word at this time.
This also made all the Warlords understand that Yuan Shao was not someone who relied solely on his family's reputation, but on talent and ability!
Cao Cao spoke his opinion and said:
"Brother Benchu, now Dong Zhuo is personally leading the troops in the Hulao Pass and is cutting our Warlord's middle route. Li Jue, Guo Si, and the others are still guarding the Sishui Pass, and if they just hang in there, it will be difficult for us to take the Sishui Pass.
It's better if we split the army into two groups, for now, leaving only two or three groups of people to hold the Sishui Pass, and the rest of the troops go to the Hulao Pass and face Dong Zhuo."
Yuan Shao nodded and said: "Mengde's words have a point, everyone, I have a deep enmity with that old thief Dong Zhuo. I hope that we can work together and do everything to the best of our ability to kill that thief Dong Zhuo, Shao will be very grateful."
At this moment, Yuan Shao suppressed the feeling of revenge.
At this moment, Yuan Shao desperately wanted to do all he could to kill Dong Zhuo, to avenge the death of his family.
Knowing how Yuan Shao felt at the moment, all the Warlords did not dare to oppose him and said:
"We are ready to obey Alliance Leader Yuan's arrangement, we will enter Hulao Pass and swear to capture Dong Zhuo!"
"We swore to capture Dong Zhuo!"
Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "Qiao Mao, Governor of Dongjun, Bao Xin, Minister of Jibei, Yuan Yi, Governor of Shanyang, and Liu Dai, prefect of Yanzhou, receive the order!"
"Here!"
Four people come forward.
"I command the four of you to lead the troops and cavalries from the main base to stay in Sishui Pass, and fight the enemy generals!"
"Yes!"
The four of them were ordered to retreat.
"Mengde led an army to meet on both routes, and the rest followed me to Hulao Pass to meet the enemy."
Everyone accepts the orders.
"The troops are going to Hulao Gate, and we swear to capture Dong Zhuo!"
All of the Warlords raised their troops and led them to Hulao Pass to face Dong Zhuo.
I have to say that the current Yuan Shao who was in a rage, performed very well.
Yuan Shao was not very enthusiastic about the war against Dong Zhuo at first, but only because of his reputation as an alliance leader, I am sure even he did not expect that his uncle Yuan Wei and his clan would face destruction because of this.
As a result, Yuan Shao had no choice but to attack Dong Zhuo as hard as he could.
Yuan Shao is not an incompetent person.
Throughout the history of Yuan Shao's life.
First, he plotted to kill the eunuch faction, and then he and Dong Zhuo had a disagreement and fled.
Later, Yuan Shao captured Jizhou, defeated Gongsun Zan, unified the four provinces of Hebei, and became the biggest Warlord in the world.
It is impossible to say that Yuan Shao is not competent.
Even Cao Cao referred to Yuan Shao as a role model in the world back then and did not dare to be his enemy.
Yuan Shao was the one who most wished to pacify the difficult times and restore the Han Dynasty.
It is a pity that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu both have their fatal weaknesses. They have very good luck, yet they are both careless.
Just like Dong Zhuo, in his early years, he was great in the West, but when he entered Luoyang, he began to decline.
This is because the so-called power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Yuan Shao had also begun to develop since he conquered Hebei.
But after a few years, he began to become distracted and indecisive.
Otherwise, how could Yuan Shao who had so many capable officials and famous generals, who in the battle of Guandu were even more formidable, lose to Cao Cao?
In the Battle of Guandu could be said that Yuan Shao defeated himself.
If Cao Cao had been placed in Yuan Shao's position, he would have unified the world long ago.
…
The Hulao Pass is connected to Mount Song in the south and the Yellow River in the north.
Hulao Pass is the gateway to the east of Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and is only fifty miles away from Luoyang.
This is the battleground for military strategists of all dynasties when one person is the gatekeeper, ten thousand people cannot open it.
It can be said that as soon as the Hulao Pass is broken through, the allied forces can directly step in and take Luoyang.
In the history of Hulao Pass, the three heroes fought against Lü Bu, who not only made Lü Bu the number one general in the Three Kingdoms but also made Hulao Pass famous throughout the world.
The Coalition of Warlords attacked Dong Zhuo. Previously in Sishui Pass, Zhao Yun killed Hua Xiong with a single strike and defeated Dong Zhuo's subordinates.
In desperation, Dong Zhuo could only dispatch Li Jue and Guo Si to reinforce Li Su in defending the Sishui Pass.
Dong Zhuo knew the importance of the Hulao Pass, and that's why he led a large army to guard Hulao Pass.
Yuan Shao, the leader of the 18th Warlords alliance, was in a fit of rage because Dong Zhuo slaughtered his uncle Yuan Wei's family.
He vows to kill Dong Zhuo and get revenge.
Many Warlords are also determined to win this battle, thinking of taking the Hulao Pass, entering Luoyang, and finally killing Dong Zhuo, they would instantly become famous Warlords in just one fell swoop.
