Hulao Pass.
The place where the princes united to fight Dong Zhuo was also the place where Lu Bu became famous.
Wait, there are many more deeds.
It is also a dangerous pass, but since Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an and burned Luoyang to the ground, the situation of Hulao Pass has become a bit embarrassing.
Even though Luoyang has been rebuilt by Cao Cao, it is no longer the imperial capital, and Chang'an is still a long way from Hulao Pass. not to mention.
Although Luoyang was rebuilt, it was no longer the same Luoyang city as before.
Chang'an has been established as the imperial capital.
It is impossible to spend too much manpower and material resources to build an Eastern Han Dynasty imperial capital, but simply build a city.
Therefore, although Hulao Pass is still a pass, it is no longer so important and does not need to be heavily guarded.
As the host who invited Liu Qi to come, Cao Cao has now arrived at Hulao Pass and settled down in Hulao Pass.
This time, he did not arrive with too many people, just more than a hundred cavalry, as well as personal guards Xu Chu, Xu Zhongkang, and Cao Ren and Cao Zixiao who had returned from Nanyang.
As for the rest of the people, they are still staying everywhere and continuing various matters.
Now in Bingzhou and Youzhou, the Xiongnu and Karasuma coalition forces have shown signs of defeat across the board, and are also evacuating to areas outside the pass.
However, even so, we cannot take it lightly until the Xiongnu and Karasuma are completely driven out of the Central Plains.
When he leaves, there are still a group of generals and counselors making arrangements, so nothing will happen.
With the current advantage, if the Xiongnu and Karasuma were allowed to counterattack, then all his generals and counselors would be able to commit suicide and apologize.
What's more, Liu Qi was invited to come to Hulao Pass this time.
If you don't want to start a war with Liu Qi, then there is no need.
Bringing too many people will be of no use.
It is better to leave the people in Bingzhou and Youzhou and continue to expel the Xiongnu and Karasuma. important.
If you have other ideas.
That's something you can think about.
Otherwise, just following him now is enough.
After all, bringing too many people over will not be of much use in talking about things, let alone be of any help. but.
When Cao Cao arrived, Liu Qi had not yet arrived.
This is nothing unusual.
You must know that when Cao Cao asked Cao Ren to go to Nanyang to invite Liu Qi, Cao Cao had already set off from Bingzhou and rushed to Hulao Pass to hurry up.
It was not a surprising thing.
"Zixiao, how long will it take for the Han Emperor to arrive?"
Cao Cao asked, standing on Hulao Pass.
Cao Ren and Xu Chu were both standing behind Cao Cao.
Hear Cao Cao's question.
"Your Majesty, according to the departure time of Emperor Han, there is still a long way to go.
If nothing happens, we will be able to arrive tomorrow," Cao Ren replied.
After all, he was still paying more attention to Liu Qi, calculating the time according to normal conditions.
Cao Cao nodded, but didn't say anything more.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Han came with more than 2,000 people, accompanied by Dian Wei, Ma Chao, and Wei Yan.
If the thousands of soldiers and horses in Hulao Pass are transferred away, and only a hundred horses are left, will it happen?
"Cao Ren said worriedly.
There are only more than a hundred people facing more than 2,000 Han troops, which is a great threat.
You must know that the Han troops are not just thieves.
Hear the words.
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "As long as our army does not do anything drastic, the Han Emperor will not do anything.
He brought so many people here just because this is the Kingdom of Wei, that's all."
He was not worried about what Cao Ren said.

He also knew that if he had not done anything drastic, Liu Qi would not have had any thoughts.
Now that he has made his choice, and Chang'an has begun to make arrangements, he believes that Liu Qi must have received the news.
Then, Liu Qi would know his choice and would not have any thoughts of taking action.
If he still has such thoughts, Liu Qi is not worthy of sitting in his current position.
You must know that if something happens to him, then all the generals and counselors under his command, as well as Chang'an's movements, will stop.
That way.
Liu Qi and his Wei State are determined to fight to the death and will not continue to arrange things according to his decision.
"Having said that, I still have to be on guard.
What's more, I don't understand why your Majesty made such a decision.
You know, I am not afraid of the Han Dynasty," Cao Ren said.
Although Cao Cao had made his choice and everyone had acquiesced, he was still a little unwilling to let him go.
Hear the words. well Cao Cao looked outside Hulao Pass, sighed, and said: "Zixiao thinks that the current situation of our army is not sure how long it can last.
I don't want you to die in vain."
I heard Cao Cao sigh.
Cao Ren also fell silent.
He was also aware of the current situation.
If they faced the Han army, which had enough food and grass and high morale, they would have no chance.
Moreover, the food and fodder in their army cannot support their army to continue fighting a protracted war.
The Han army only needs to stay step by step, and when they run out of food and supplies, they will be able to capture them without bloodshed.
After all, even the food and grass they needed to fight the Xiongnu and Wuwan were funded by the Han state.
Now.
The Han State could no longer support them.
Without food and grass, it would be difficult for the army to exert its combat power.
Wait until the food and grass are exhausted.
They may have collapsed internally and did not need the Han army to attack.
From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with Cao Cao's decision, and this may also be the reason why everyone acquiesces.
Still very clear about the current situation.
But even if he knew it, he still had a lot of unwillingness in his heart.
"Then why not take advantage of the arrival of the Han Emperor?"
Cao Ren said with a glint in his eyes.
Hear Cao Ren's words.
Cao Cao's eyes flashed and he said: "Zixiao, you think too simply.
Since the Han Emperor dares to come, he will definitely make arrangements, and as I said, the soldiers and horses in Hulao Pass will be transferred away.
The emperor did not dare to take advantage of this opportunity to attack me, and I also did not dare to take advantage of this opportunity to attack the Han Emperor."
It's not that he hasn't thought about such issues, but he has too many worries.
It's just the same situation, and there won't be any changes, so I gave up on this idea.
In the end, although Cao Ren still had some unwillingness on his face, he didn't say anything more.
He was also aware of Cao Cao's concerns. well Cao Cao also sighed secretly in his heart.
If he could, why would he think of making such a decision?
It's just that there is no way out, that's all.
Immediately, he took Cao Ren and Xu Chu away from the city wall and walked into Guanzhong, waiting for Liu Qi's arrival
