At this time.

When Yuan Shao and Liu Biao were discussing.

A few miles away from the camp of the combined forces of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, there was a group of soldiers and horses hidden in the night, and the soldiers were all dressed in black clothes and black armor, which was very suitable for walking in the night.

In front of the many soldiers, there were two generals, one with a broadsword and the other with a spear.

And these two generals are Huang Zhong and Ma Chao.

The eyes of the two of them were looking straight ahead, where they all looked a little bright in the dim moonlight, which was where the camp of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao was located.

The two of them led the soldiers and horses, and it had been a certain time since they came here.

However, he did not directly lead the army to the vicinity of the coalition camp, but stayed away from a certain distance and waited.

Before, in Tongguan, when he learned that Yuan Shao and Liu Biao had raised troops, he discussed it according to Qin Yin's instructions, and then led 50,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Tongguan to Hangu Pass.

As for the safety of Tongguan, they were not worried.

After all, Qin Yin personally led an army of 100,000 stationed near Chang'an Village and rushed from Chang'an.

After learning that Yuan Shao and Liu Biao led a large army and rushed from Luoyang.

Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, and Pang Tong discussed it, and Huang Zhong and Ma Chao led 30,000 soldiers and horses out of the pass, and Pang Tong led 20,000 soldiers and horses as support.

I want to take advantage of the unpreparedness of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao's coalition forces as soon as they arrived.

However, they did not do it directly, but first sent a detective to inquire about the situation of the coalition camp.

Therefore.

Huang Zhong and Ma Chao led the soldiers and horses to a few miles away from the coalition camp, and they did not continue to move forward, quietly waiting for the news from the detectives sent out.

Without finding out the situation of the coalition battalion, it is a taboo for soldiers to act rashly.

What's more, the coalition forces have ten times as many soldiers and horses.

It's been a long wait.

Huang Zhong and Ma Chao saw the report sent out in front of them, and they were galloping back on horseback.

When the detective came to him on horseback, he hadn't completely stopped.

"How?" Huang Zhong asked anxiously.

Ma Chao also looked at the detective.

He is a new member of Qin Yin's command, and now he is only serving as a cavalry captain, but he has not made an inch, and now Yuan Shao and Liu Biao are raising troops, which also makes him see the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Although before, because of Han Sui, his father was against Qin Yin, but now he has surrendered, and Qin Yin has not treated their father and son badly.

His father still returned to Liangzhou and presided over the overall situation.

The original soldiers and horses were also brought back by his father, and as the existence of the lineage, there would be any ideas there.

Now he just wants to make a contribution.

"General Hui, the enemy's camp is brightly lit, and there are many secret guards arranged by the enemy around the camp, and if you want to carry out a sneak attack, it is difficult to carry out it, and it is very likely that you will fall into it!" The detective reported truthfully.

He led more than a dozen spies to inquire about the situation of the enemy camp.

But he didn't get close to the enemy camp directly, but there was still some distance, so he stopped, because if he got closer, he would inevitably be discovered by the enemy's secret guards.

Even if they didn't get too close, they were almost spotted during the observation.

However, they still observed some of the arrangements of the enemy's large camp, and the large battalion established still had a certain formation, and it was not easy to carry out a sneak attack.

Obviously, the enemy is on guard.

Not to mention, they only have 30,000 soldiers and horses, even if they add the 20,000 soldiers and horses behind them, and carry out a sneak attack, there is a high probability that they will be left behind by the enemy.

Hear the words.

"It seems that Yuan Shao and Liu Biao are both wary of us!" Huang Zhong frowned.

Ma Chao also nodded in agreement.

Hear the words of the detectives.

He knew that this sneak attack would not continue, but would be canceled, and he had the idea of a sneak attack, which was just to cause some losses to the enemy and hit the enemy's morale if he was unprepared.

But if the enemy army is on guard, they will attack with their forces, and there will be no return.

That's not what they want.

Huang Zhong waved at the detective and said, "Continue to inquire about the situation of the enemy army, and if there is any danger, leave immediately!" ”

"No!"

The detective also gave up his hand, turned his horse's head, and galloped away.

Wait for the report to ride away.

"What should I do now?" Ma Chao asked.

Although he felt a little sorry for this matter, he didn't force it.

He wanted to make meritorious contributions, but he didn't want to do some death-seeking behavior.

Huang Zhong pondered for a moment and said, "Since there is no chance, let's withdraw to Hangu Pass first, wait for Gongzi to lead the army to come, and then make plans!" ”

"Yes!" Ma Chao also nodded.

This is also something they have decided before they set off.

If there is a chance, give the enemy a blow, and if there is no chance, just retreat.

It is better not to make much merit, and not to have any mistakes, if they are defeated, Hangu Pass will fall into the hands of the enemy.

This will directly threaten Tongguan.

At that time, they would not be able to resign.

They also knew that with 50,000 soldiers and horses, it was impossible to fight hard with the combined forces of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao.

Only the unexpected, or stick to the pass, waiting for the arrival of the army.

And in the absence of a chance, the only thing left is to persevere.

The two were of the same opinion.

Without any hesitation, he led 30,000 soldiers and horses, turned around, and rushed back towards Hangu Pass, without a chance to attack, and continued to stay here, and it had no effect.

on this.

Although the two of them felt a little pity, they didn't have too many regrets.

Before discussing such a thing, there is already a consideration for this situation, and there are arrangements, so there will not be too many ideas.

With Huang Zhong and Ma Chao leading 30,000 soldiers and horses to leave.

This place has also become empty, and it has also returned to its usual appearance, with the sound of insects.

The cold light that shimmered in the moonlight also disappeared.

Only the detectives who were sent out continued to monitor the coalition battalion.

And here the thing.

It was also not known to Yuan Shao and Liu Biao.

The two of them didn't have any news about this, if it weren't for their proper arrangement and the strict guarding of the camps everywhere, maybe this night, it would not be so quiet, but something would have happened.

One way or another.

This night was also passed quietly.
