Fifty miles away from Hulao Pass, there is one of the few hills in the Central Plains.

Local people call the tallest mountain Xiaoqiu Mountain.

In the hills and mountains, where only hunters come and go on weekdays, there are now signs of large armies appearing.

What was originally a trail going up the mountain was opened into a passage by an army of about five thousand people.

The military camp on the mountain was stationed with the five thousand Euphorbia soldiers who had cut off Lu Bu's rear army.

Just six days ago, Zhang He, as the vanguard of the North Route Alliance Army, led the Euphorbia and Lieutenant General Geng Wu's two thousand cavalry to Guandu Port.

Not long after the troops were stationed, and even before the logistics and transportation troops had set up the general camp, an urgent battle report was sent from the Central Alliance Army.

It turns out that when Lu Bu broke through the Lejin defense line at that time, the Allied defense line in the middle was retreating like a mountain. Lu Bu's army, with Lu Bu's headquarters as the main force, and other generals led their own troops in a frantic pursuit.

This also gave Zhang He a good opportunity. Zhang He was no less a famous general. He immediately issued an order to abandon the defense and attack the entire army.

But Geng Wu was as timid as a mouse, saying that he did not dare to attack without receiving orders from Alliance Leader Yuan or Lord Han Fu, so the two thousand cavalry also followed him to guard Guandu Port.

Zhang He had no choice but to immediately lead five thousand Euphorbia soldiers who had just landed ashore and rushed directly to Lu Bu's rear, cutting off Lu Bu's backup.

This led to the current situation where Lu Bu was besieged by the allied forces from the north and the middle. Zhang Liao and others lacked support, so Zhang Chen came to help.

Back to the topic, Zhang He was in the big tent that day processing the intelligence coming back from each team, when he suddenly heard the sound of hurried horse hooves coming from outside the military camp.

Zhang He immediately put down the report and walked outside with his soldiers. Although there were also some reinforcements sent by the alliance army, including the troops of Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, the troops of Gongsun Zan, the governor of Peiping, and some troops from the Central Plains princes, there were now zero troops.

There are tens of thousands of people in total, Mr. Ling.

However, the entire army here was still under the management of Zhang He. Those princes only sent troops but no generals who could command, only some partial generals.

There is a soldier in Zhang He's military camp who is not allowed to ride a horse and run wildly in the military camp except when fighting, so he is a little angry now.

Zhang He walked outside and saw that his soldiers who were responsible for guarding the camp were surrounded by the incoming people. There were dozens of chess players on the other side, wearing brown military uniforms. Zhang He could tell that they were Yuan Shao's personal soldiers.

"You are so brave! I am the soldier who is delivering orders under Alliance Leader Yuan! Now we have an urgent document to send to General Zhang He! You cannot bear the delay!" The leading soldier said arrogantly, not at all.

Pay attention to the elite soldiers of the Euphorbia.

"This guy violated our military regulations and still does it!"

"That's right! This guy seems to be a subordinate of that bastard Yuan Shao. Let's arrest him first and bring him to the general for processing!"

The Euphorbia soldiers surrounding him said that they were very dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's actions, and naturally they would not like this guy who pretended to be powerful.

"Oh? It's actually a messenger sent from the headquarters? Come here! Bring the leader to my big tent, and arrange for the others to rest, and tell me that the big tent is surrounded and no one needs to approach!" Zhang

He said.

Although Zhang He believed that there would be no cheats in his military camp, he still had to be on guard against others.

"Yes!" Zhang He's soldiers agreed.

"Are you General Zhang He Zhang?" The leader was brought into the tent, still looking proudly at the young man in front of him who was white and looked a bit like a kid from a rich family.

"Yes, I am Zhang He and Zhang Junyi. Are you the messenger of Alliance Leader Yuan?" Zhang He frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied with the performance of the messenger, and also felt a little disgusted with Yuan Shao in his heart.

"That's right, Alliance Leader Yuan Da and Deputy Alliance Leader Cao sent me to bring you a message, give it to you!" But the messenger didn't feel anything wrong.

"Oh?" Zhang He took it and asked his soldiers to take the messenger down.

"This letter actually asked me to give up guarding here and surround the remnants of Lu Bu's army on the hill across the way. This is very risky, but the military order is like a mountain, come! Inform all the Euphorbia soldiers to prepare for the battle! After I leave, Vice General Geng Wu Lead two thousand cavalry to guard and wait for the arrival of Lieutenant General Geng Wu with reinforcements from various princes!"
