Chapter 20: Is the coalition going to split its forces? The focus gathers at Hulao Pass!

"What?"

"The lord is actually going to take the field himself?"

"Why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken? Why does the lord need to do this?"

Inside Sishui Pass.

After Hua Xiong received Dong Zhuo's latest order, he couldn't help but exclaim.

Hua Xiong was full of confusion regarding Dong Zhuo's intention to personally sit in Hulao Pass.

Judging from the previous night raid on the coalition camp, the combat power of this group of Guandong coalition forces was nothing more than that.

Hua Xiong believed that relying on the invincible combination of himself and Gu Yi,

let alone holding Hulao Pass, even driving the Guandong coalition back to their hometowns was not an impossible task!

"General, the Prime Minister's move likely has deeper meaning."

Unlike Hua Xiong, Gu Yi quickly reacted to this order issued by Dong Zhuo.

According to the original historical process, the reason Dong Zhuo went to the Hulao Pass front line was because the morale of the front-line defenders was low, and Dong Zhuo wanted to boost morale.

But now, there was a deviation from the original history.

Dong Zhuo had absolutely no need to boost morale by rushing to the front line to sit in command.

Therefore, in such a situation,

what could still drive Dong Zhuo to set off for Hulao Pass was only the internal contradictions between the factions!

In order to achieve balance within, Dong Zhuo had to lead by example and personally sit in Hulao Pass.

Of course, such a complex problem, even if Gu Yi explained it to Hua Xiong, the latter would likely find it hard to understand.

Fortunately, Hua Xiong was not someone who would get to the bottom of things.

Upon learning that Dong Zhuo still wanted him and Gu Yi to be responsible for bringing troops from Sishui Pass to support Hulao Pass, Hua Xiong's face beamed with joy again.

"This time, I must let those fellows from Bingzhou know the power of our Xiliang boys!"

Hua Xiong shouted to himself.

Hearing this, Gu Yi frowned slightly.

A martial man like Hua Xiong was fine; at least he didn't have any bad intentions.

But this didn't mean others didn't have bad intentions.

When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds.

Among the Xiliang generals, Li Jue and Guo Si were not easy people to get along with.

From this, it could be seen that the Xiliang direct line must have had a quite hostile attitude toward the Bingzhou Army and the Luoyang Imperial Guard on weekdays.

This upcoming Battle of Hulao Pass was likely to be a dance of demons!

At the same time.

Just as Gu Yi and Hua Xiong were about to leave Sishui Pass.

The system's mechanical prompt sounded in Gu Yi's mind.

【Ding! The host has significantly changed the progress of the Battle of Sishui Pass, and the fate of the important character Hua Xiong has been changed!】

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new talent: Immunity to All Poisons (Primary)】

【Immunity to All Poisons (Primary): The body is immune to over ninety percent of toxin damage.】

Silently accepting this talent, the expression on Gu Yi's face also relaxed.

In the coalition camp

Led by Yuan Shao, a group of Guandong lords were discussing the next strategy.

It is worth mentioning that

in the seat that originally belonged to Yuan Shu, sitting there now were his son Yuan Yao and his younger brother Yuan Yin.

Yuan Yao had just turned fifteen this year; as Yuan Shu's eldest son, he was an absolute straw bag.

Therefore, the person who could truly replace Yuan Shu to make decisions at this moment was naturally Yuan Shu's younger brother, Yuan Yin.

However, don't hold too high expectations for Yuan Yin either.

To put it bluntly, this Yuan Yin was just an ordinary person, plain and unremarkable with no outstanding abilities.

If it weren't for the fact that Yuan Shu was in unbearable pain due to his broken arm, he would never have handed over affairs to these two fellows, Yuan Yao and Yuan Yin.

Scanning the surrounding lords.

Seeing Yuan Yao and Yuan Yin sitting in Yuan Shu's seat, even Yuan Shao, this old actor, almost couldn't help but laugh out loud on the spot.

Fortunately, Cao Cao reminded him in time, and he barely managed to stop the smile on his face.

"Everyone, gathering you all here today is actually to make plans for the next step of our coalition."

"According to scouts, the old thief Dong Zhuo intends to send reinforcements to Hulao Pass." ===== CHAPTER 21 =====
