    The injured Yang Feng was in shock and fled back to Hulao Pass in a hurry without stopping.

    Generals Xu Huang and Guan Yu followed closely behind and fled back to Guancheng.

    In this battle, Yang Feng led 7,000 soldiers and horses to set up an ambush, plus Guan Yu's 5,000 soldiers and horses sent by Zhang Yang, for a total of more than 12,000 troops. However, they were defeated by Yuan Fang and lost more than 4,000 troops.

    Yang Feng treated the injury and immediately turned pale as he came from the main hall.

    As soon as he entered the lobby, Yang Feng complained angrily to Guan Yu: "Guan Yunchang, didn't you say that your plan was perfect? ??What's going on now? How could Yuan Fang see through it and cause this general to suffer such a defeat.  "

    Guan Yu's face darkened, and a hint of anger suddenly flashed in Danfeng's eyes.

    When he was under Liu Bei, even if he suffered a huge defeat, Liu Bei did not dare to rebuke him outright, and would at least save him some face.

    Now, Yang Feng didn't give his handsome beard face at all, and actually scolded him so bluntly in front of everyone.

    This is the treatment of being under someone else¡¯s roof.

    Guan Yu only felt that his face was seriously damaged. In an instant, he had the urge to rush forward and kill Yang Feng, the man who scolded him.

    But Guan Yu suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "This little thief Yuan Fang has many tricks. It's not surprising that he saw through my plan. I'm just wondering why Xu Gongming failed to capture that little thief."

    Guan Yu questioned and cleverly transferred the responsibility for the defeat to Xu Huang.

    Xu Huang's expression suddenly darkened.

    Yang Feng's complaining eyes then glanced at Xu Huang and asked: "Xu Gongming, you are in the middle stage of bone forging. There are no more than thirty people in the world who are above bone forging in martial arts. You can obviously attack  Why don¡¯t you use all your strength to kill that kid?¡±

    Faced with the question, Xu Huang frowned.  He cupped his hands and said: "General, it is clear that the general is not willing to try his best. It is because Yuan Fang's martial arts is so changeable that he is not inferior to the general. It's not that the general does not want to kill him, it is because he cannot kill him."

    Yang Feng's figure was shaken, and he was immediately surprised. However, he did not expect that Yuan Fang was so young.  His martial arts skills are so good that he is no worse than Xu Huang.

    Just when he was doubtful, Guan Yu said: "That little thief has been taught by some master. His martial arts has indeed improved very quickly, but as far as I know, his martial arts is at the early stage of bone forging at best. After all, he is still far behind Brother Gongming."  It's really inappropriate to be able to defeat him even with Gong Ming's martial arts."

    Guan Yu's judgment of Yuan Fang's strength was still at the time of the Battle of Yanzhou. How could he have imagined that Yuan Fang suddenly had the ability to multiply, even though his martial arts was in the early stages of bone forging.  But with the addition of multiplication and insight pupil, it has exceeded its due strength.

    After Guan Yu said this, it seemed that Xu Huang deliberately refused to use his full strength.

    Xu Huang suddenly became anxious, and he frowned and said: "Yun Chang doesn't know something. Yuan Fang's martial arts is indeed very changeable. I guess his martial arts should be in the middle stage of bone forging, and may even be stronger."

    "Middle stage of bone forging?" Guan Yu pretended to be surprised.  But he asked suspiciously: "Did this kid's martial arts break through from the early stage of bone forging to the middle stage in just a few months? This is too fast, unless this kid is a martial arts genius that is rare to see in a hundred years."

    Guan Yu¡¯s words were tantamount to questioning Xu Huang¡¯s judgment.

    Of course Yang Feng believed in Guan Yu, and he was not willing to believe it even if he was beaten to death.  A mere rebellious son of the Yuan family could be a martial arts genius that is rare to see in a century.

    He is more willing to believe that Xu Huang is deliberately letting things slip.

    "My lord, it's not my fault. Yuan Fang's martial arts is indeed"

    Xu Huang was about to explain, but Yang Feng already waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "That's enough, Xu Gongming, you don't need to explain anymore. Forget it this time, I won't argue with you anymore, but you have to remember it for me  "Yes, you were promoted by me. Without me, Yang Feng, you wouldn't be where you are today. I hope you can give your best when we fight again."

    Yang Feng said this, and Xu Huang couldn't say anything else, so he had no choice but to agree, swallowed his anger, and stepped aside unhappy.

    At this time, Guan Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

    He coughed lightly, cupped his hands and said, "General Yang, don't be discouraged. Although we have lost a battle today, Hulao Pass is still in our hands. As long as we strictly guard the pass and refuse to go out to fight, I don't expect that little thief to gain wings."  Don¡¯t even think about crossing Hulao and going to Luoyang.¡±

    "Yun Chang's words make sense."

    Yang Feng nodded repeatedly, deeply convinced, and ordered the entire army to strictly guard the pass and not go into battle. He also ordered the rear to transport grain and grass to Hulao Pass.

    Seeing that Yang Feng accepted his suggestion, a trace of pride quietly flashed across the corner of Guan Yu's mouth

    He stroked his long beard and murmured with a sneer: "Young thief Yuan Fang, as long as??I, Guan Yu, am here, and your plot to hold the Emperor hostage will never succeed!  "

    ¡­¡­

    East of Hulao Pass.

    Yuan Fang has led 5,000 elite troops to follow the defeated army in Hanoi and force the city into the stronghold in front of Guancheng.

    After leaving the stronghold, Yuan Fang went to the vicinity of Guancheng in person to inspect the situation of this important pass.

    Among the eight passes in Luoyang, Hangu Pass in the west and Hulao Pass in the east are the most famous and dangerous, and they are the two most important passes among the eight passes.

    At that time, Yuan Shao led eighteen princes to attack Dong, and his military strength was several times that of the Xiliang army, but he could not break the Hulao Pass. The heroes could only look at the pass and sigh.

    It was only after Yuan Fang personally inspected it today that he realized the majesty and solidity of this pass.

    With this pass in hand, even if there are hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers, they will probably be captured by force.

    "It seems that Yang Feng is planning to retreat without fighting. With the help of his two generals Guan Yu and Xu Huang, and the support behind Zhang Yang, it is absolutely impossible for me to forcefully break through with only five thousand soldiers and horses. It seems that it is still possible.  You have to think of a way"

    With a secret sigh in his heart, he rode his horse back to the camp and discussed with Zhuge Liang and Yan Liang how to break Hulao Pass.

    Yuan Fang's current problem is that although he has three states and tens of thousands of troops, it is not convenient for him to mobilize a large army to attack the key points. If the momentum is too large, it will create the impression that he will forcibly hold the emperor hostage.

    That would run counter to his strategy of respecting the king and repelling the barbarians, and would be unsightly.

    ?????????????????????????????????? How can we break through the Hulao Pass with only five thousand soldiers and horses without a large army?

    Two days before the army garrisoned the pass, Yuan Fang had no plan.

    It was early in the morning, and when he was at a loss what to do, his own soldiers came to report that Dong Zhao, the court's mediator, had come to the camp.

    Yuan Fang cheered up and hurriedly went out of the tent in person to welcome Dong Zhao in.

    "Zhao learned that Yang Feng had gone back on his word and was in seclusion to prevent the general from entering Luoyang, so in the name of mediation, he asked the emperor to come and see the general."

    As soon as he entered the account, Dong Zhao got straight to the point and explained his purpose.

    Yuan Fang frowned slightly and said solemnly: "Yang Feng has nothing to fear. I have defeated him in the previous battle, but this Hulao Pass is not easy to break."

    "Let's not mention Hulao Pass. Before I went out as an envoy, I had already heard about it. Dong Cheng had secretly arranged for Cao Cao to send troops to Luoyang. He clearly wanted to use Cao Cao's power to control the emperor and the court. If Cao Cao was allowed to enter first,  Luoyang, the general¡¯s strategy of respecting the king and repelling the barbarians will probably come to nothing.¡±

    Dong Zhao spoke with a solemn tone as he revealed this shocking news.

    Yuan Fang couldn't help but feel slightly shocked, realizing the urgency of the situation.

    With Cao Cao's resourcefulness, Dong Cheng will definitely take advantage of him, and he will definitely take the opportunity to forcibly move the emperor from Luoyang to Xu County.

    Once Cao Cao has the emperor's banner of righteousness in hand, he will surely win the support of many talented people, and in a short period of time, his damaged strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds.

    At that time, if Yuan Fang wanted to respect the king again and fight the barbarians, he would lead an army to attack Cao Cao. In this way, the world would think that he wanted to kidnap the emperor.

    In addition, once he and Cao Cao are in a stalemate and Yuan Shao takes the opportunity to march south, he will be attacked from both sides and the situation will be critical.

    "Master, the situation is urgent. No matter what, we cannot let Cao Cao kidnap the emperor!" Zhuge Liang said excitedly.

    Yuan Fang hit the case with his fist and said in a deep voice: "I don't understand this truth. It's just that we can't even break Hulao Pass at the moment. How can we stop Cao Cao from kidnapping the emperor?"

    As soon as he finished speaking, a sly smile appeared on Dong Zhao's face.

    "Does Gongren have a clever plan?" Yuan Fang's eyes lit up.

    Dong Zhao then said slowly: "Yang Feng and Han Xian were originally from the same party. Han Xian made the greatest contribution during the emperor's eastward migration. He relied on his merits and was arrogant, and there was already a conflict with Yang Feng. Why don't you send someone to secretly  Contact Han Xian and claim that Yang Feng is conspiring with Dong Cheng to secretly mobilize Cao Cao to go to Beijing to deal with him. As long as Han Xian and Yang Feng can be successfully separated, then"

    Dong Zhao smiled and said nothing, the mystery behind his words was clear.

    Yuan Fang was so smart that he naturally figured it out immediately. He immediately summoned Sun Qian and ordered him to bypass Hulao Pass via the trail with generous gifts and go to meet Han Xian secretly.

    "Zhao Ye will return east immediately. When passing through Han Siam's army, he will attack from the side and help the general incite Han Siam." Dong Zhao stood up and said.

    Yuan Fang then stood up, raised his hands and said seriously: "If I can successfully enter Luoyang this time and implement the policy of respecting the king and repelling the barbarians, Gongren will be the first to do so. I, Yuan Fang, will never forget Gongren's merits."

    Dong Zhao did not take any credit, and simply said: "The general acted according to the opportunity, and Zhao left."

    Dong Zhao bowed his hands and left.

    Yuan Fang personally escorted Dong Zhao out of the camp. Watching this strange man leave, Yuan Fang raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.Feeling happy, I thought to myself: "I don't want to get help from this person, it's really God helping me"

    At the moment Yuan Fang stood still and waited for Sun Qian to act.

    A few days later, exciting news reached the camp.

    If it was as Dong Zhao expected, Han Xian fell into the trap of alienation, thinking that Yang Feng and Dong Cheng had secretly joined forces to get rid of him as a thorn in his side.

    Han Xian was frightened and angry. He mobilized all his troops and raided Gong County, where Yang Feng was stationing grain, and seized more than 100,000 husks of grain from Yang Feng.

    Yang Fengjun was already short of food. More than 100,000 bushels of food and grass were no longer a small amount. Now that Han Xian was snatched away, he was naturally shocked.

    Frightened, Yang Feng immediately sent Guan Yu with 5,000 elite troops to recapture Gong County.

    "Master, the Yang Fengliang Road has been cut off, and now we have sent troops to rescue Gong County. Hulao Pass must be empty of troops and morale is unstable. This is a great opportunity for us to break through the pass." Zhuge Liang said excitedly.

    Yuan Fang was not so excited. He knew that although Guan Yu left, Xu Huang was still there. This man was good at using troops and had extraordinary martial arts. With him in Hulao, it was still not easy to break through the barrier.

    "We still have to find a way to remove Xu Huang's obstacle"

    Yuan Fang stood with his hands behind his back, his sword-shaped eyebrows deeply condensed, and he pondered for a long time. A sly smile appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth.
