Chapter 202: Rendezvous

The fire was raging, igniting the already small mountain col, and even the mountains on both sides began to burn. The dust and smoke in the sky may have an impact on the bad environment here. But at this time, Han Yan couldn't take care of these anymore.

Before dawn, the army on Niu Fu's side had not yet been rectified, and Han Yan had already taken all the men and horses to the revolving gate.

It is also a coincidence that from Zhouxian to Xuanmenguan, and from Huaixian to Xingyang, these two lines are almost parallel. This also means that even if Niu Fu found out about the movements of Han Yan and the others, he would have no way to pursue Han Yan. After all, if the number of people is small, it may not be possible to take down Han Yan's men and horses while ensuring the integrity of his subordinates, but if the number of people is large, things will be difficult to handle in Aocang. From the perspective of pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages, Niu Fu should obey the military order and go to Aocang first. After all, the decisive battle at the revolving gate should have been Dong Zhuo's hope.

From Huai County to Zhou County, and from Zhou County to Revolving Gate, the distance between the two is actually about the same. However, if you want to think of the revolving gate, you still need to cross the river, that is, the Yellow River.

Because of the war, the fishermen near the river are basically extinct, and it is not so easy to cross the river. Under the pretext that his subordinates were sleepy and lacking, Han Yan sent Liu Bei out and asked him to find a boat to cross the river. As for whether Liu Bei was stealing, robbing, or buying and selling, Han Yan said that he didn't ask at all.

However, according to Han Yan's thoughts, Liu Bei, who only has hundreds of people and no money to spare, can do is steal. Buying and selling, Liu Bei is also willing but powerless.

It's just that to Han Yan's expectation, Liu Bei not only brought dozens of ferries, but also brought the boatmen of these ferries. And looking at the expressions on the faces of those boatmen, there was not the slightest displeasure, and I didn't know what this Liu Bei told them.

It was just the expressions of a few boatmen, which was naturally not surprising, but what really made Han Yan feel jealous was this Liu Bei's ability to win people's hearts. Look at the objects around Liu Bei, obviously he persuaded this group of boatmen to come over to help with one mouth, no wonder Cao Cao said in the original history 'The heroes of the world, only the king and Cao Er'!

At this time, Han Yan's jealousy of Liu Bei deepened in his heart, but it was not shown in the slightest on his face. Even the cold light that flashed in his eyes was blocked by his hand.

Under Huang Zhong's arrangement, 5,000 men and horses quickly crossed the Yellow River. When it was Han Yan's turn, Han Yan stood at the bow of the boat, watching the river surge, clenching and loosening his fists, loosening and clenching, repeating this three times, and finally gave up his plan to do it to Liu Bei.

After crossing the river and marching for more than two hours, the walls of the spiral gate pass were already in sight. And looking at the military camps connected outside the revolving gate, as well as the various flags, it is obvious that there should be many people gathered under the revolving gate this time. Han Yan counted in his heart, the people and horses who came to the Turnscrew Pass this time, even if not all the coalition soldiers and horses, were actually not many people behind. The one or two teams that are missing are estimated to be still confronting Dong Zhuo's defenders on the east side of Aocang.

From Yuan Shao's messenger entering Huai County to Han Yan's arrival at the Xuanmen Pass, it was only three or two days of effort, but Han Yan estimated that with Yuan Shao's person, the news of the death of Liu Yan, the king of Hongnong, at this time, is not much worse, even if it is not known to the world. Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many people to gather outside this revolving door.

Taking advantage of the death of Hongnong King Liu Zhi, this crusade against Dong Zhuo will be easier to profit than before, such a good opportunity, I am afraid that the part of the people who originally fell to Dong Zhuo will have to re-weigh the balance in their hearts at this time.

Rushing to the side of the coalition army with a large number of men and horses, no matter what, you need to meet Yuan Shao and them first, otherwise, you will be afraid that you will have to fight with the people on your side if you can't eat a meal. Of course, before that, Han Yan had already sent a messenger to report the news.

There were still two miles away from the camp, and Han Yan had already seen a group of people coming out of the camp from a distance, although they couldn't see their faces clearly, but judging from their clothes, they should be Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Instructed Chang Yan to watch the people under him, and Han Yan took Huang Zhong and Dian Wei and others to the camp first.

When he arrived at the front of the camp, Han Yan saw clearly, it turned out that in addition to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, even Yuan Shu, Yuan Yi and others were also present, but looking at it, Han Yan found that there were so many people in this group who were nowhere to be seen. The most conspicuous, of course, is the one who initiated this alliance. In addition, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou with 20,000 troops, was also not there, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Hahahaha! There is faith! After you went to Hanoi, this disease has been more than a month! It took me three times for this messenger to see you, and today you are back! ”

As the leader of the coalition army, and the number of troops under his command is the largest, Yuan Shao took the lead and greeted Han Yan first.

As the saying goes, 'it's hard to beat a smiling person with a fist', no matter what dissatisfaction he has with Yuan Shao, or whether he suspects that Yuan Shao sat down about Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong, at least at this moment, Han Yan must make the scene enough.

Holding the silk reins with both hands, he turned over and dismounted, Han Yan clenched his fists and walked towards Yuan Shao, "Brother Benchu is serious!" I, who have been pampered in Luoyang all the year round, where can I compare to all of you? Now I can come by forcefully, but because of the situation, I have to come! ”

Forced by the situation? What is the situation? Isn't it the death of King Hongnong! Everyone's eyes could see clearly, although Han Yan had a smile on his face, it was obvious that this smile was fake, and the anger hidden under this smile did not have much meaning to hide. It's just that the death of King Hongnong is too strange, not to mention that Han Yan feels that something is wrong, even among the people present, few believe the news conveyed by Yuan Shao. Now Han Yan did not embarrass Yuan Shao on the scene, in fact, he had already given Yuan Shao enough face.

It's just that Yuan Shao didn't think so in his heart, and when he heard Han Yan's obviously warning words, his face darkened at that time.

Cao Cao, who was standing on the side, saw it clearly, for fear that Han Yan would turn his face with Yuan Shao here, so he hurriedly stepped forward and opened his mouth to change the topic, "What, I believe that you came at the right time, let's discuss how to capture this revolving gate now, come, let's go in and talk together!" ”
