Chapter 201 Li Ru’s conspiracy—the plan to wipe out the entire family!

Hulao Pass, on the wall.

From the moment the war began, Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, Niu Fu, Xu Rong, Fan Chou and others had been paying close attention to the situation in the allied camp.

When the sounds of fighting resounded throughout heaven and earth and Lu Bu exuded the aura of a divine general, several of his trusted generals requested to fight, fearing that Lu Bu would take all the credit.

Even Dong Zhuo felt that the time had come to send troops to wipe out the Guandong coalition forces, but Li Ru was the only one who strongly opposed it.

The subsequent development of the situation and the disappearance of Lu Bu's aura made all those who had clamored for sending troops look fearful.

Dong Zhuo's eyes widened, looking at the direction where Lu Bu lost his breath, and said in shock: "I didn't expect Ye Feng to hide so deeply."

"Five thousand Bingzhou Wolf Riders sacrificed their own trump cards, but were defeated head-on by him?"

"Who in the world can stop Ye Feng? Who is his opponent?"

After several questions, everyone present fell silent.

Although these generals of the Xiliang faction usually disliked Lu Bu, they still admired his martial arts.

But even though Lu Bu had broken through to the late stage of Heavenly General and was blessed with the power of battle formations, he was killed in this way.

If they faced Ye Feng, how could they block a single move?
How can there be a way to survive?
"Grandmaster, it seems that Yuan Shao has failed and failed to kill Ye Feng."

Li Ru sighed as he looked at the coalition forces scattered in all directions.

Dong Zhuo sighed: "Yuan Shao's defeat will not have much impact on us. Even if 50,000 elite troops are lost, I can still bear it."

"But my son Fengxian has been killed. We no longer have any top-notch generals who can stand on their own. In a field battle, who can withstand the fierce and ferocious generals under Ye Feng's command?"

"From now on, I'm afraid we won't dare to leave the city again."

"Ugh!!"

"Ye Feng, Ye Feng is so powerful at such a young age, what's the reason?"

Niu Fu and Fan Chou's eyes sparkled as they watched the battle in the distance: "Although Ye Feng has the upper hand and has wiped out the Guandong princes in one fell swoop, the coalition army no longer exists. After a series of bloody battles, how much combat effectiveness do the tens of thousands of troops under his command have?"

"While their morale is unstable, we will send our army forward. Even if we cannot kill Ye Feng, we will at least make sure all of his elite troops are wiped out."

"This way, we can rest assured that Hulao Pass is secure."

"Otherwise, once he has taken advantage of today's victory and integrated the forces that have surrendered, the number of his troops will instantly reach over 100,000, and that will truly be a grave concern for the Grand Master."

"My subordinates invite you to fight!"

The two men knelt on the ground, their eyes full of determination.

Xu Rong on the side was silent for a short time, then he also knelt on the ground: "What the two generals said is right, we can't just sit back and watch Ye Feng become more powerful, Grand Master, we must fight!"

Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed with hesitation, and he subconsciously looked at Li Ru: "Wenyou, what do you think?"

After a brief silence, Li Ru slowly shook his head and said, "Ye Feng's victory today was obviously planned in advance. He showed weakness to the enemy, pretended to be injured, and hid his strength in broad daylight, just to lure us into his trap."

"The plan has been completed, and the morale of his troops is high. If we send out troops now, who can guarantee that it is not part of Ye Feng's plan?"

"If he is waiting for us to send out troops and seize Hulao Pass, what should we do?"

"Ye Feng, who has reached the realm of a divine general, is able to defeat a thousand or even ten thousand enemies at once. By then, not only will Hulao Pass be unable to be defended, but I'm afraid our lives will also depend on Ye Feng's thoughts."

"Grandmaster has fought for half his life and finally accumulated so much strength. Is he going to lose it all in one night?"

Niu Fu and Fan Chou, who requested to fight, hesitated and looked a little dark and blue, but they still insisted: "Sir, your words are reasonable, but can we hold on without leaving Hulao Pass?"

"How could Ye Feng let us go?"

Li Ru said: "Ye Feng has already torn his face with the noble families and the princes of the world. When the news of today's battle spreads, all the princes will be afraid of Ye Feng. How can they tolerate Ye Feng to continue to grow?"

"Wouldn't it be safer for us to sit on the mountain and watch the battle between the Guandong princes and Ye Feng?" Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up: "Do you think Ye Feng will not fight to the death with us at Hulao Pass?"

Li Ru shook his head: "Although Hulao Pass is also a dangerous pass in the world, there are more than one pass on the road to Luoyang. If we reach Mengjin by water, we can bypass Hulao Pass directly. How can we withstand the attack from both sides?"

"As long as we cut off the food and grass, the people at Hulao Pass will be in disarray and will fall without a fight in a month at most."

Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed with sadness: "Or do we have to give up Luoyang and Hulao Pass?"

Li Ru nodded: "Avoid the sharp edge, lie dormant and wait for the opportunity, and watch the success or failure of the world."

"Grandmaster, you must be brave enough to sacrifice yourself now. If you leave too late, you may not be able to leave."

Xu Rong hesitated: "What the military advisor said is true, but there is a saying that goes, 'If you get something, you will always want more.' People will never be satisfied."

"We give up Hulao Pass and Luoyang City, and let Ye Feng fight against the princes of Guandong head-on. This is just wishful thinking."

"If Ye Feng rests in Luoyang and gathers strength to attack Hangu Pass, won't he be shooting himself in the foot?"

"Luoyang is a rich place!"

Li Ru smiled faintly: "General Xu Rong is very worried, but if we turn Luoyang into an empty city before leaving, such worries will not be a big deal."

"Empty city?"

"How can this be?"

"There are hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang City. How can we relocate them all within a few days?"

A sinister look flashed across Li Ru's eyes: "It only takes one day."

"one day?"

Li Ru nodded: "Set fire to the city."

"We burned down Luoyang City, and we're still afraid that the people won't want to leave with us?"

"When Ye Feng arrives in Luoyang City, all he will see are ruins. How can he restore Luoyang City to its former prosperity in just one or two years?"

"Without population, there will be no one to farm, and the food and fodder they need can only be transported from the north."

"But how much loss will there be in traveling so far?"

"Ye Feng can't gain a foothold in Luoyang, so he can only choose the second place."

"We have more than 200,000 elite soldiers in Hangu Pass, which is well defended and has the most dangerous pass in the world. On the contrary, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Yuzhou are equally rich. In comparison, which one will be easier for Ye Feng to attack?"

“The results speak for themselves.”

"So Ye Feng can only confront the Guandong lords head-on. He has no other choice."

"This is an open conspiracy!"

There was a hint of reluctance in Xu Rong's eyes, and he wanted to object, but the words did not come out.

Niu Fu, Fan Chou's eyes were full of excitement: "Military Advisor, this plan is brilliant!"

After careful consideration, Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed with determination: "Okay, we will withdraw our troops from Luoyang tonight and follow Wen You's plan to turn Luoyang into an empty city."

"Xu Rong, you lead 30,000 soldiers to guard Hulao Pass. If the pass is breached within three days, you must bring your head to me!"

"The rest of you follow me back to Luoyang."

"Here!"
