    Therefore, Emperor Wenhan of the Tang Dynasty moved out of the pass and settled in a simple camp a few miles behind Hulao Pass.  Xu Huang followed his orders and moved all the wounded soldiers outside the pass to inside the pass.  Soon, the civil and military officials of the Western Tang Dynasty learned that they could no longer live in the pass, and they all gave up their residences to house the wounded soldiers.  Later, the barbarian soldiers learned that in order to accommodate the wounded soldiers, the Tang Emperor actually vacated his residence inside the pass and lived outside the pass, sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.  Immediately, the barbarian's resentment disappeared, and he was full of praise and admiration for Wenhan.

    Two days later, the violent storm gradually became much milder.  At dawn on the third day, the heavy rain stopped, the sun shone brightly, and the sky was clear.  This beautiful weather did not put Wenhan in a good mood.  Wen Han's face turned extremely dark and he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to summon a group of civil and military personnel to the stronghold for discussion.

    After a while, all the civil and military personnel arrived one after another.  Pang Tongyi looked surprised and rushed to report.

    "The heavy rain stopped suddenly, which is extremely strange. It is different from what the celestial phenomena indicate, and there may be big changes!"

    When Wenhan heard this, his face was heavy, and the ominous premonition was even stronger. After a long sigh, he said in a condensed voice.

    "If what I predict is correct, Cao Mengde will definitely lead all his troops to attack Hulao Pass!"

    "Are you worried too much, Your Majesty? The heavy rain has just gone and the ground is seeping with water, making it slippery and difficult to walk on. How can the Wei invaders attack rashly?"

    Deng Ai's complexion changed, his brows were furrowed, and he cupped his hands.  Wenhan shook his head silently, but replied.

    "The so-called attack is to take the enemy by surprise and attack them unprepared. Although it is difficult to travel by water, the Wei invaders are numerous and powerful. If they attack with all their might, and our army rushes to block it, wouldn't we have no chance of victory?"

    As soon as Wenhan said this, all the civil and military officials couldn't help but look worried.  Xu Huang's face was shocked and he hurriedly remonstrated.

    "Your Majesty, don't worry! Hulao Pass is the most dangerous pass in the world. If the Wei invaders want to break it, it will undoubtedly be difficult to reach the sky. What's more, our army has magical weapons such as thunder cannons, so we will be able to protect everything!!"

    Before Xu Huang had finished speaking, a look of horror suddenly appeared on his face.  Xu Huang first took over the operation of the thunder cannon. Did Xu Huang not know that both the gunpowder and the cannon must not get wet, otherwise it will only injure his own troops and horses.  When all the civil and military officials heard what Xu Huang said, they stopped abruptly and looked at a loss.  Wenhan let out a long sigh, but he didn't want to hide it anymore, he wanted to tell the truth.  Unexpectedly, Pang Tong's face became anxious and he quickly rushed to be the first to follow the instructions.

    "Although our army has thunder cannons, the Wei invaders also have thunder chariots for their use. What's more, if our army relies too much on weapons, the soldiers in the army will have no desire to fight and will lose blood, which is not a good thing."

    After Pang Tong finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Huang anxiously.  Xu Huang understood and nodded anxiously.

    "What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true. The general thinks that in order to stimulate the bloody spirit of the three armies, wouldn't it be good to not use the thunder cannons for the time being, and then use them to determine the country in one fell swoop when it is critical!?"

    Wenhan frowned, and Xu Huang and Pang Tong both looked at him.  At this moment, Guo Huai suddenly came to report that the Wei army had suddenly raised its troops and was heading towards Hulao Pass to kill.  Wenhan's face changed drastically and he asked anxiously.

    "How many soldiers and horses have come from the Wei invaders!?"

    "Reporting to your majesty, there is a huge crowd of Wei soldiers in front of the pass. There are thousands of people in one team, or five thousand people in one team. They are coming like a tidal wave. They are countless! Looking at this formation, even if there are not millions of thieves, there are probably five,  Six hundred thousand troops!"

    Guo Huai looked nervous, with a look of fear on his face. What he had just seen in front of the pass was that the Wei invaders were like swarms of locusts, densely packed, shouting to kill, shaking the sky, as if they wanted to engulf the entire Hulao Pass.  When Wen Han heard that there were so many incoming troops, his eyes widened, his heart trembled, and he shouted in surprise.

    "Cao Mengdeguo wants to break the cauldron and attack with all his strength!!"

    At this moment, the Barbarian King Meng You suddenly looked shocked, seemed to have made up his mind, and hurriedly came out, holding his hands in front of him.

    "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we, the 80,000 barbarian martyrs, are willing to be the vanguard to resist the thieves!!"

    As soon as Meng You finished speaking, all the barbarian soldiers shouted loudly and called for battle in unison.  Pang Tong frowned after hearing this, but he was afraid that Meng You and other barbarians would defect when the situation was bad, so he secretly made a gesture to Wenhan.  Xu Huang was also quite worried and winked.  Meng You saw this, his heart brightened, and he shouted with emotion.

    "You don't have to worry. Your Majesty is kind and loving to the people. If I hadn't been accepted by Your Majesty in the past, I would have died a long time ago. How could I be king in the Southern Barbarians!? Your Majesty has treated me with great kindness, and I will keep it in my heart. I also admire your Majesty's benevolence and righteousness, including all our Southern Barbarian officers and soldiers.  Willing to be a pioneer!¡±

    After Meng You said this, all the barbarian soldiers agreed.  Wenhan looked shocked and made a decision in his heart. He quickly ordered Meng You to prepare his troops and go to guard the pass.  Meng You was overjoyed. After receiving the order, he quickly led a group of barbarian generals out of their tents and rushed to mobilize.  Pang Tong hesitated to speak, but Wen Han waved his hand and said in a condensed voice.

    "If I don't let him down, how can he let me down!? If you want all races to be harmonious, get rid of their differences and trust each other."!  "

    Pang Tongyi listened, his expression changed, and he understood.  Wen Han nodded slightly, and then issued orders to the generals to prepare and guard the pass.  The generals came out one after another with their orders.  After a while, only Wen Han and Wen Shun, father and son, were left in the tent.  If Wen Han had followed his temper, he would have left with the generals long ago and went to the pass to mobilize.  However, Wen Han did not leave because he knew that Wen Shun had something to say.

    With a 'pop' sound, Wen Shun fell to his knees on the ground, his face full of guilt and regret, and he choked with sobs.

    "The child's crime will be punished by death. No matter how punished the father is, the child is willing to accept it!! Even if the child's head is taken to stabilize the morale of the army, the child will never complain!!"

    Wen Shun was so smart. He could see now that the reason why the Wei army took advantage of this moment to attack in a large scale must be because they realized that the thunder cannons had become useless after being affected by moisture.  At this time, almost all of the Western Tang Dynasty's military forces were here.  If Hulao Pass is broken and millions of Wei troops fight to the death, and if they can win, then the Western Tang Dynasty will be in disaster.

    Who else but Ma Zhao, whom Wen Shun regarded as his brother, reported this information to Cao Cao!  ?

    After hearing this, Wenhan said slowly with a calm expression.

    "People are not saints, so they have no faults. Now that things have come to this, if you, Shun'er, are a man, you should shoulder a great responsibility. For the sake of the country, for your brothers and the people of the Western Tang Dynasty, you should try to turn the tide and make up for your mistakes. You should never be here, since  Pleading guilty!¡±

    When Wen Shun heard this, he was shocked and speechless for a moment.  After Wen Han finished speaking, he walked away, leaving only Wen Shun in the empty tent.

    In front of Hulao Pass, the ground is slippery and water accumulates, making it difficult to trek.  However, it could not stop the Wei army's ambition to devour the country. I saw groups of Wei soldiers, under the shouts of the Wei generals, marching forward bravely without hesitation.  Huge thunder trucks, ladder trucks, ram trucks, and all kinds of weapons would splash out every time they passed through deep pits and gorges.  The horse's hooves galloped, bringing up waves of muddy water that splashed all over the surrounding Wei soldiers.  Despite this, all the Wei troops were still fierce and murderous. They shouted loudly and screamed for death, making the world tremble as if they were shaken.  The sky seemed to be crumbling, and the earth seemed to be cracking.  Seeing that the Wei army was about to attack all over the world, Meng You led his troops to deploy as early as possible. There were nearly 70,000 to 80,000 barbarian soldiers arrayed in front of the pass in preparation.  While Hulao was closed, all Tang army soldiers and horses were guarding key points one after another, with cold and nervous expressions on their faces, ready to fight to the death.

    Soon, nearly 600,000 to 700,000 Wei soldiers swarmed to a few miles in front of Hulao Pass, each forming a majestic formation.  Cao Cao was overjoyed when he saw the barbarian troops in front of the pass. He thought that Wen Han despised the life and death of the barbarians and acted as the vanguard to teach them to die.  Cao Cao's mind was spinning, and he had a plan. He suddenly rode out, pulled out the sword from his waist, closed it with his finger, and shouted loudly.

    "Wen Bufan~!! I am the son of destiny, so I have received help from heaven. It has been raining heavily for several days today, and the thunder cannon you are so proud of has become useless and has become a useless weapon. How can you resist my millions of heroes now?  Army, hurry up and surrender! I can still protect your wealth!"

    As soon as Cao Cao said this, the faces of the barbarian troops in front of the pass and the Tang army behind the pass changed greatly, and they were horrified.  Wenhan's face froze, his eyes shrank suddenly, but he didn't reply.  At this time, the soldiers in front of the pass and everywhere in the pass were exclaiming and whispering, all looking astonished and frightened.  Xu Huang saw it with keen eyes and shouted quickly.

    "Old thief Cao, don't even think about confusing the public with your evil words and disrupting the morale of our army! If you want to fight, fight! If you want to invade our borders in the Western Tang Dynasty, we will fight to the death and fight to the death!!"

    Xu Huang's voice was loud and loud, shaking all directions. When the soldiers and horses in each team heard the words, they were all shocked. They all thought Cao Cao was deceiving, but they didn't believe it.  When Cao Cao saw this, he smiled coldly, then looked at the barbarian soldiers in front and shouted coldly.

    "You and other barbarians don't know what is good and what is good. You collude with the false emperor and fight against me, just like fighting against the sky!! I don't know yet, but you are being used by the traitor and you are willing to be a pioneer. It is not a pity to die!!"

    Meng You heard this and knew that Cao Cao was treacherous and scheming. How could he listen to his nonsense? He rode out and shouted sharply.

    "Old thief, you have an army of millions, but you only know how to talk about it!? The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is a man of great talent, and he has treated us with so much kindness. We have no way of repaying it, so we voluntarily follow him!! Now in the territory of the Tang Kingdom,  A hundred people are like brothers. How can a villain like you separate us?"

    When Cao Cao heard this, he frowned.  At this time, Jia Xu came on horseback, his snake-like eyes glowing with a sinister light, and spoke to Cao Cao in a low voice.

    "These barbarians have always been stubborn and tough. If we don't kill them and bleed them into rivers, the barbarians will not know how powerful they are! Your Majesty, please stay away for now. When the barbarians are defeated and you see the strength of our great Wei army, you will come and surrender!!"

    When Cao Cao heard this, his face turned cold, he nodded slightly, then reined in his horse and returned.  As Cao Cao returned to the formation, Cao Ren, who was commanding the formation, immediately shouted and issued orders.  Following Cao Ren's order, the Wei army, like mountains and seas, suddenly turbulent, and the drums beat loudly.rise suddenly.  Seventy to eighty thousand Wei troops from the front surged out, hoping that the barbarian troops in front of the pass would rush away.  When Meng You saw that Wei Jun had moved, his eyes widened, and he waved forward with his sword in hand.  The barbarian generals in the front line shouted loudly, led their troops forward one after another, and suddenly intercepted and killed them.
