Chapter 153 The fake jade seal, given to those three people
When the sun shines on the earth through the faint fresh mist.Huang Zhong, Lu Bu, and Dian Wei had already assembled in Hulao Pass.The three decided that Lu Bu and Dian Wei would go first, while Huang Zhong stayed at Hulao Pass to monitor the movements of the princes.

In the coalition camp, Yuan Shaogao sat on the throne of the leader of the alliance.With a gloomy face, he listened to all the princes complaining in front of him.

"That's enough, can't you say it one by one? It's so noisy." Yuan Shao finally couldn't help it, and shouted loudly.

All the princes were yelled at and looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, at a loss.

In the end, Cao Cao stood up and said, "Which princes were attacked last night?"

In fact, Cao Cao received the news early in the morning, so he said it just to break the embarrassing atmosphere at the scene.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, said: "Last night, a total of seven princes were attacked, among them: Yuan Gonglu, the prefect of Nanyang, and Gongsun Bogui, the prefect of Beiping. Inspector Kong Ni, Yanzhou Inspector Liu Dai, Beihai Prefect Kong Rong, Guangling Prefect Zhang Chao, etc. were attacked to varying degrees.”

"The Han thief Deng Wu, why did he suddenly attack us? Is there any reason for this?" Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, asked.

"Cough...cough!" Yuan Shao coughed twice first, and after attracting the attention of all the princes, he said, "I have a secret discussion with the people in Luoyang City. I originally decided to attack Hulao Pass with all my strength today. The thief Deng Wu launched a night attack on us first."

"Why didn't President Yuan discuss it with us early on such an important matter?" Cao Cao asked angrily.

"About five days ago, a mysterious person suddenly came outside my camp, saying that he wanted to discuss something important with me. He told me that three days later, there would be chaos in Luoyang, and he wanted us to storm Hulao Pass. Cooperate from inside to outside, and destroy Deng Wu, the traitor of the Han Dynasty. This man is very mysterious and does not reveal his identity. I am afraid that it is Deng Wu's conspiracy, so I have been standing still."

All the princes thought about it, and they also felt that it made sense. After all, their identities were unknown. What if it was Deng Wu's conspiracy?
"So, if we stormed Hulao Pass two days ago, there would be no night raid tonight?" Cao Cao analyzed.

"Report!!!"

Just when the princes wanted to say something more, there was a call from a messenger outside the big tent.

After the messenger entered the big tent, he looked left and right, then trotted to Yuan Shao's ear, whispering something.After a while, the messenger finished speaking and slowly withdrew from the tent.

All the princes silently watched Yuan Shao above, whose face was cloudy and uncertain, waiting for him to speak.

Yuan Shao was silent for a while and then said: "Everyone just got the news that there was a big fire in Luoyang yesterday, and the fire spread to the whole Luoyang. Most of the military rations of the Han thief Deng Wu were burned. The remnant army snatched it all up."

"Oh, what a missed opportunity!"

"you do not say!"

The discussions of the princes made the faces of the princes who were attacked last night very ugly, especially Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan.

The grain and grass in Yuan Shu's barracks were completely burned by Huang Zhong.Most of the soldiers and horses were lost, and General Ji Ling was seriously injured and dying.

Gongsun Zan was even worse, and was taken care of by Lu Bu and Dian Wei who led 4000 cavalry.The [-] white horses I brought along suffered heavy casualties, only a few hundred riders were left, and all of them were injured.[-] infantry also lost almost [-] troops.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Zan couldn't help feeling a little resentful towards Liu Bei.I know you three are brave and unparalleled, but don't take my people with you, just go and charge the enemy's cavalry several times.

All the princes were discussing below, but Yuan Shao, who was sitting on top, couldn't help feeling a little regretful.If I had known it earlier, I would have dispatched troops two days in advance to storm Hulao Pass. Maybe they have already broken through Hulao Pass by now.

But it's not my fault, that mysterious person didn't reveal his identity, who knows if it's Deng Wu's conspiracy?I just choose to play it safe.

Thinking about it, Yuan Shao suddenly yelled: "Come on, gather all the soldiers and horses, and today we will storm Hulao Pass."

Hearing Yuan Shao's sudden yell, Cao Cao frowned below, and shouted to Yuan Shao in a heavy tone: "Leader!"

When Yuan Shao turned his face to Cao Cao, Cao Cao said, "We were attacked last night, and all the princes suffered heavy losses. Now is the time when morale is low. If we attack Hulao Pass now, the gains will outweigh the losses!"

"Then what should we do? Now that we are attacked, are we so helpless? I can't swallow this breath!"

Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "The top priority is to quickly reorganize the troops and restore morale, and seize the time to transport food and grass from the rear. As for Hulao Pass! I and a few princes who have not been attacked will test it today. Attack."

"That's fine, then Lao Mengde will attack the city first!" Yuan Shao thought for a while and said.

When the allied forces of the princes first joined the alliance, they had already started to build siege equipment. Fortunately, these siege equipment had no loss and could be used when they were taken out.

Cao Cao gathered his troops and horses, and launched a tentative attack on Hulao Pass together with several good princes.

However, not long after the attack, Cao Cao withdrew his troops.Because, as soon as Cao Cao's soldiers and horses attacked below the pass, they were smashed by rolling stones.Cao Cao can be regarded as a person who has experienced the battlefield, and he has never seen such a defender.There is simply no idea of ​​​​throwing stones accurately, it is just throwing stones in a mess.

Although very few soldiers and horses were killed or injured, the momentum was very scary.

Huang Zhong was about to evacuate after another day of guarding. He took away all the supplies hoarded at the gate and what he could take away.The Leimu Rolling Stones that cannot be taken away are thrown as much as they are, and these materials will definitely not be left to the coalition forces of the princes.

That night, Huang Zhong organized his troops to evacuate.The next day, when Cao Cao organized his troops to tentatively attack Hulao Pass again, he encountered no resistance from the defenders.After entering the pass, we found that the defenders here were already empty.

Cao Cao immediately reported the situation here to Yuan Shao and other princes in the rear.After the princes heard the news, they immediately led their troops into Hulao Pass.

After another day of tossing, I received a report from the scouts ahead.Luoyang City has already been deserted, without any soldiers and horses stationed.

Yuan Shao organized troops to go to Luoyang again, and successfully took over Luoyang.Today's Luoyang has long lost its original glory, and there are ruins everywhere.In some places, there are still a little sparks, which are still burning.

All the princes were extremely melancholy when they saw the current situation in Luoyang.Yuan Shao ordered that all the princes scattered to search and clean up the ancestral temple of the Han Dynasty.

This move hit Deng Wu's plan. It turned out that Deng Wu had copied several jade seals a long time ago.Prepare to find a suitable opportunity and give it to a few ambitious princes.

Deng Wu's layout has been going on for a long time, and every prince has more or less dead men from Deng Wu among them. It can be guaranteed that every prince who is considered ambitious by Deng Wu can find a jade seal.

Of course, the real jade seal had already been acquired by Deng Wu, and Deng Wu copied three fake jade seals in total.They were given to Yuan Shao, Sun Jian and Liu Bei respectively.

As for why he didn't give it to Cao Cao, Deng Wu considered that after Cao Cao was an eunuch, he might have seen the real jade seal, and he was afraid that he would see it through.

The real jade seal is carved from the precious jade Heshibi.Deng Wu went through all kinds of hardships, but he couldn't find a gem that could be compared with it. Even if he found the best gem, it was not that big.Helpless, I had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, so I had to use high-quality mutton fat white jade to carve the three jade seals.

In addition to the material, in order to confuse the fake with the real one, even a missing corner on the real jade seal was filled with gold.

And engraved with "Ordered by the sky, long life and eternal prosperity.", eight characters of Xiaozhuan.
