Chapter 187 Risks and costs, Li Ru’s evil plan!

On the battlefield, there was total silence, and one could hear a pin drop.

At this moment, Guan Yu was holding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, releasing the pressure of a mid-level Heavenly General. Under the strong wind, his long beard fluttered, and he looked like a god of war.

All the soldiers of the coalition army looked at Guan Yu with admiration and excitement, shouting, "The general is mighty!"

"General Guan is invincible!"

The roar reached the sky and lingered in this world.

On the other hand, all the Xiliang soldiers took a deep breath, their eyes full of disbelief.

They had all seen Hua Xiong's invincible scenes of killing the Qiang people in Xiliang and the Huns in the north with one man against a thousand.

With a swing of the sword, no one can stop it wherever it goes.

Wherever the sword passes, people will either die or be injured.

But in front of Guan Yu, it was like chopping melons and vegetables, and he was killed instantly with just one move.

How powerful is Guan Yu?

How can they be opponents?

Fear, terror, uneasiness and all kinds of complicated emotions surged into their hearts, and even many timid Xiliang soldiers' legs trembled while riding their horses.

"Charge into Sishui Pass, anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Seeing that no one came out from the opposite side, Guan Yu squeezed his legs together and charged out on his horse again. Seeing that the Xiliang soldiers in the front were in a daze, Guan Yu showed no mercy.

"The Azure Dragon is in the wild!!"

With a loud shout, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand swept out.

Countless green dragons emanated from the green sword light, as if countless tiny green dragons were flying through the crowd.

The Azure Dragon rushed into the body of the Xiliang soldier.

In just a moment, the vitality of the internal organs was cut off by Qinglong. Wherever Qinglong went, there were corpses and countless blood.

Guan Yu was so brave that the allied soldiers behind him naturally did not want to be outdone.

The 20,000 allied soldiers charged forward with great momentum. Naturally, the Western Liang army, which had lost Hua Xiong, was unable to resist.

In just half an hour, the entire line collapsed. Li Su didn't even bother to close the gate of Sishui Pass, as he was killed into the pass by the coalition forces that followed closely.

The sounds of fighting became quieter and quieter, and when the coalition forces planted their flag at Sishui Pass, the war came to an end at this moment.

Luoyang City, Grand Tutor’s Mansion.

In the main hall, Dong Zhuo's eyes widened with anger, his hands tightly grasping the scout's neck: "What did you say? Say it again!"

"How could Hua Xiong die?"

"Aren't Sun Jian and Ma Teng the vanguards? How can they kill Hua Xiong?"

The scout's face turned red from holding back his breath, and he gasped for air. "The one who killed General Hua Xiong was a red-faced general. General Li Su made inquiries and confirmed that the one who killed General Hua Xiong was not Sun Jian, a general under Ma Teng, but Guan Yu under Ye Feng, the former captain of the Eighth Army of Xiyuan!"

"Guan Yu?"

The anger on Dong Zhuo's face faded a lot, and was replaced by a strong fear. He had heard of Guan Yu's name, and had even personally witnessed Guan Yu's sharp swordsmanship outside the city of Luoyang.

"What a great trick to deceive the world!"

Li Ru, who had not spoken for a long time, said with emotion: "Ye Feng deliberately let Sun Jian and Ma Teng be the vanguard generals to paralyze General Hua Xiong, and then let Guan Yu hide among them. Since General Hua Xiong did not know Guan Yu, he naturally fell into the trap."

"If you don't attack, it's fine. But once you attack, you will kill the top general of our Xiliang army and almost cut off an arm of our army."

"Master, we must plan ahead!"

Dong Zhuo seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and sat dejectedly on the armchair: "In the past two days, the coalition forces were in civil war. I thought that even if Ye Feng quelled the rebellion, they would still be severely damaged. I never thought that Yuan Shu, Kong Rong and others could not even make a wave."

"I originally thought that I could rely on Hua Xiong to show the power of our Xiliang army at Sishui Pass, and Fengxian to defend Hulao Pass, so that Ye Feng would retreat in the face of difficulties. But the result was..."

"Ugh!!"

With a long sigh, Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru and said, "Wen You, do you think we can defend Hulao Pass?"

Li Ru did not speak rashly, but paced back and forth in the hall.

After a long while, a gleam of resoluteness flashed in his eyes. He dismissed his attendants and lowered his voice: "Father-in-law, I want to ask you a question." "Do you want to completely solve Ye Feng's problem, or do you just want to stop Ye Feng temporarily and not think about what happens next!"

Dong Zhuo was stunned: "If it is possible, we should get rid of Ye Feng."

"If we kill him, who in this world can stop my Xiliang Iron Cavalry?"

"When the time comes, we will not only be able to change the emperor at will, but we will also be able to personally experience the feeling of being the emperor and ruling the world."

Li Ru said: "Returns and risks have always been together since ancient times."

"If you want to completely solve Ye Feng's problem, you must be willing to take risks."

"What kind of adventure?"

Li Ru said calmly: "Before, I suggested to my father-in-law that we sit on the mountain and watch the tigers, and wait for a conflict between Yuan Shao and Ye Feng."

"As a result, the two sides clashed, but the result was not satisfactory."

"This time, Ye Feng's skills were clearly superior in clearing out the dissidents in the alliance, but Yuan Shao would definitely be very dissatisfied."

"If my father-in-law can cooperate with Yuan Shao from inside and outside to defeat Ye Feng in front of Hulao Pass, even if we cannot get rid of this fierce tiger Ye Feng, at least we can wipe out the 50,000 elite troops that are heading south."

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up, and after a brief pause, he hesitated and said, "Two questions."

"First, does Yuan Shao still have any strength left?"

"Second, is there any benefit for Yuan Shao to do this?"

Li Ru laughed and said, "A centipede will not die without stiffening its body!"

"My father-in-law should know how much the family has. The fact that Yuan Shao is not dead proves that he still has some strength left. It is impossible to kill Ye Feng alone, but it is enough to cause chaos in the camp!"

"As long as the army is in chaos, even if Ye Feng has supernatural powers, he will be powerless to save the situation!"

"As for what benefits Yuan Shao gets from doing this, it's even simpler. Compared to Ye Feng, Yuan Shao feels that the Grand Master is easier to control, while Ye Feng is harder to deal with."

"Getting rid of a strong enemy will do him a hundred good things and no harm at all!"

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "When eating persimmons, pick the soft ones and squeeze them, and throw away the hard ones first. This is human nature!"

"Well, I'll leave this to you!"

"As long as I can defeat Ye Feng once, any price I pay will be worth it."

Li Ru nodded: "Before this matter is arranged, my father-in-law needs to go to Hulao Pass in person."

"Ok?"

Dong Zhuo asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

Li Ru said: "General Hua Xiong was killed, Sishui Pass was breached, and the Xiliang army is in a state of panic. The presence of the Grand Master in person on the battlefield can boost morale."

"Only when morale is high can our chances of winning be better."

Dong Zhuo hesitated for a while: "Is this the risk you mentioned?"

Li Ru shook his head: "This is just a small risk. Father-in-law does not need to fight on the battlefield in person. If there is any danger, you can leave immediately."

"The real risk is to allow Lu Bu to establish his authority."

"Huh? What do you mean by this?"

Li Ru said: "We need to let Yuan Shao see our trump card, otherwise why would he be willing to cooperate with us?"

"After all, with Ye Feng's ability and the several generals under his command, this oppressive feeling is unbearable for ordinary people."

Dong Zhuo pondered for a while, then nodded decisively: "As long as Ye Feng can be killed, it is worth paying some price."

"Order the entire army to head to Hulao Pass tomorrow. I want to see how Ye Feng breaks through the pass!"

"My father-in-law is wise!"

"After this battle, no one in the world will dare to oppose my father-in-law!"

"hope so!!"
