This was the most intense battle between the alliance army and the Western Liang Army. Why did it turn into the last battle?
And why would this final battle not start in Luoyang, but in this completely unrelated Mount Mang Dang?
Cloudsky's use of troops was really more and more strange each time.
"Yunxiao, I really can't hold it in anymore this time. Quickly tell me what's going on.”
Cao Cao grabbed Xu Chuan's hand, as if he would not let him go if he did not explain himself today.
This was not a secret that needed to be shown off.
Moreover, according to Xu Chuan's own estimation, this matter was likely to be carried out in the next two days.
"My lord, I see that the various vassals have made significant gains in this battle. It can be seen that the Western Liang Army has suffered a great loss.”
"In this situation, the alliance army will definitely be able to take down Mushui Pass or Hulao Pass in a day or two.”
"These two stages are the horns of each other. If one of them is lost, the other will lose its meaning of defense.”
Seeing Xu Chuan pointing at the two locations on the map, Cao Cao nodded in agreement from time to time.
"Once we lose these two trials, Luoyang will be a flat land.”
"My lord, think about it. Dong Zhuo has suffered such a big defeat. If he loses two more rounds, he will definitely become a frightened bird. Guess what he will do?”
Faced with Xu Chuan's interrogation, Cao Cao stared at the map and began to ponder.
Luoyang's defenses were sturdy, and the city walls were more than five zhang tall. Under normal circumstances, Dong Zhuo could have defended it to the death.
However, defending to the death would face a problem. If the alliance army surrounded them and did not attack, it would be hard to say how long Luoyang's rations could last.
Just as Cao Cao was puzzled, his gaze landed on Mount Mangdang that Xu Chuan had marked. A thought suddenly popped into his mind as if he had been electrocuted.
"Moving the capital…Chang 'an?"
Even Cao Cao himself felt that this was the most likely possibility.
Chang 'an had the danger of Xiaohan. They could attack or defend if they wanted to. This way, they could regain the initiative they had lost.
Yes, that must be the case. As long as one of the two passes was lost, Dong Zhuo would definitely consider moving the capital!
"My lord's heart is as clear as a mirror."
Cao Cao smiled awkwardly.
What? Didn't you think of all this? I had to look at the map and be reminded by you to think of it.
However, Cao Cao was not embarrassed. After witnessing Xu Chuan's unfathomable talent, he was not stupid enough to compete with Xu Chuan in terms of strategy.
Not only him, but in the entire world, who could compete with Cloudsky?
The battle between the two stages was still in a stalemate. Dong Zhuo might not even know that the battle had ended up like this.
Meanwhile, Xu Chuan had already thought of how to set up the next ambush.
More importantly, Cao Cao was almost certain that the other dukes would never have thought of such a deep level.
In other words, this ambush would be completed by him alone.
Although two fierce battles had taken place here at Tiger Cage Pass, his subordinates had mostly just plundered.
This time, he could finally play the leading role.
Now, there was only one problem left.
"Yunxiao, all the dukes are returning to the camp. Are you sure that in a few days, there will definitely be problems in the two passes?”
"After all, Xu Rong is also a talented general. If he is given enough time to adjust, the two stages will quickly recover.”
Xu Chuan shook his head.
In fact, he wasn't worried about Cao Cao's question at all.
"My lord, haven't you noticed that the dukes who returned to the camp were all the dukes who suffered a crushing defeat at Tiger Cage Pass a few days ago?”
"Did you see any dukes who returned to the city along the way to Mushui Pass?”
Hearing this, Cao Cao slowly nodded.
Sun Jian, Tao Qian, and the others had indeed not returned.
"The dukes who had previously preserved their strength naturally wanted to obtain as many merit points as possible in this situation.”
"In fact, it is very likely that they will break through the pass today.”
"Especially X Literature Station's troops. The Jiangdong soldiers are incomparably brave and are not inferior to the Western Liang soldiers.”
Halfway through his sentence, Xu Chuan took a sip of tea to moisten his mouth and continued,
"My lord, don't forget that at the beginning of the alliance meeting, you swore together that whoever wanted to kill their way into Luoyang would be appointed as the general of the hussars.”
"Sun Jian won't let go of this opportunity.”
"And with the personalities of the dukes in our so-called alliance, do you still need me to say what will happen?”
This analysis allowed Cao Cao to instantly understand the chaotic situation between the enemy and himself.
He knew what Xu Chuan was going to say even if he did not say it.
With the Yuan Brothers 'personalities, they would naturally not be willing to watch Sun Jian seize the heavenly cultivation technique.
Therefore, when they withdrew their troops, they would also cut off Sun Jian's rations and military supplies.
In this way, Dong Zhuo had enough time to retreat.
Hu ~
Cao Cao let out a breath of turbid air, his heart was already in turmoil.
While the dukes were scheming against each other, Xu Chuan had already jumped out and seen a higher level.
Moreover, every time he attacked, he would avoid the interests of the dukes, but in the end, he would often obtain the greatest benefits.
Cloudsky's shrewdness and wisdom were truly shocking.
If it wasn't for the fact that Heaven Duke was protecting me, I would probably be toyed with like a fool if Xu Yunxiao ended up in the hands of another duke.
No, it was not a possibility, it was a certainty!
"Lord, join the army, little brother, we're back!”
It was Zhao Yun and Xu Chu.
The two of them were covered in blood. They probably didn't even have time to wash themselves before they ran over.
"Zilong Zhongkang, are you all alright?”
Cao Cao's heart ached. After confirming that they were not injured, he urged everyone to go to the celebration banquet.
"Wait, my lord. I have something to report.”
"Zilong, what's the hurry?"
Cao Cao was surprised.
"When I returned, I heard from Tao Qian's wounded soldiers that Sun Jian had already led his men into Mushui Pass and was engaged in a bloody battle with Li Jue and Guo Si.”
Zhao Yun wasn't sure if this matter would have any effect on Xu Chuan and Cao Cao.
After all, the world of experts was not something that generals could understand.
When Cao Cao heard this, he was stunned at first. Then, he laughed for a while before laughing out loud again, leaving Zhao Yun and Xu Chu at a loss.
Did we say something wrong?
After a while, Cao Cao turned around and bowed deeply to Xu Chuan.
"Yunxiao is truly a divine foresight. Everything is exactly as you have calculated. Please accept this Cao's bow.”
"My lord, there's no need for such a big bow."
Xu Chuan was also shocked and quickly helped Cao Cao up.
As for Zhao Yun and Xu Chu, they knew that they had missed another good show.
However, Xu Chuan was certain that Sun Jian had already killed his way into Mushui Pass.
Just like how he predicted yesterday's battle a few days ago.
Everything was just as he had said. Zhao Yun and Xu Chu's names would soon spread all over the world.
Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many dukes throwing him olive branches on the way back.
"Let's go and have a good meal first. You still have a tough battle to fight!”
Cao Cao pulled Xu Chuan excitedly and waved at Zhao Yun and Xu Chu.
Mang Dang Mountain, how much profit would there be this time? It was something to look forward to!
