Under Hulao Pass, Han Fei stopped Han Fei's steps, but Han Fei still did not order a strong attack. After three days like this, Han Fei called Zhang He to the big tent.

"Junyi is difficult to capture Hulao Pass now, do you have any tricks?" Han Fei asked with a smile when he saw Zhang He coming in.

When Zhang He heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Why did the military advisor spend time with me? You have no choice but to mention this Hulao Pass."

Han Fei waved his hand and signaled him to sit down and speak, then said, "Does Junyi know that the eighteen princes of the 18th generations were fighting against Dong?"

"I don't know how I was just that I was left in Yecheng to guard, so I missed that grand event."

"The situation back then was so similar to that now! I was afraid that Hulao Pass would be difficult to get out of Hulao Pass, so the coalition forces divided their troops to fight Sishui Pass." Han Fei smiled mysteriously at this point. Zhang He was a smart man and understood as soon as he heard it. He asked, "Does the military advisor ask me to lead my troops to fight Sishui Pass?"

"Yes, Junyi still understands me! This Hulao Pass is a barrier to Luoyang, and the same is true for Sishui Pass. As long as you pass Sishui Pass, it will be a smooth road to Luoyang. I want Junyi, you not only have to take Sishui Pass, but also have to take Luoyang City and me, completely breaking Hao Zhao's retreat." Han Fei said at the end of the cold light in his eyes. Zhang He immediately stood up and received the order. Han Fei divided the army into two and asked Zhang He to take half of his troops to attack Sishui Pass.

The guardian of Sishui Pass was Xiahou Wang, a son of the Xiahou family. Although he was brave, he was far inferior to Hao Zhaolai. When Zhang He led his army to the bottom of Sishui Pass, Xiahou Wang was shocked. While he arranged people to guard the city wall, he quickly asked Luoyang and Xiangyang for help.

Why do we ask Xiangyang for help? There are really not many people available in Luoyang City now. A fire that year made Luoyang City almost ruins. Although it has been rebuilt over the years, Cao Wei's investment has been limited for so many years, and it is difficult to recreate the scenery of that day. Now Luoyang is only a little larger than ordinary cities. The garrison has only 5,000 troops, and the guard is Cao Cao's third son Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang had many gaps with his second brother Cao Pi, so after Cao Pi took office, he attacked him to Luoyang City. As the saying goes, he was not upset. In addition, Luoyang is already ruined, and even if Cao Zhang is determined to show his own power, he will not succeed.

After Xiahou Wang sent someone to send the letter of help away, he personally climbed up to the city to see the reality of Qi's army. He was shocked when he saw it. The Qi army was very morale, the army was full of honor and armed forces, and it was worthy of being a strong army. Looking at the soldiers around him, many of them had never even been on the battlefield. Before the war started, their calves were weak.

Xiahou Wang sighed and hoped that the reinforcements would arrive soon, otherwise he would not dare to say that he could defend this Sishui Pass! Zhang He did not give Xiahou Wang much time at all. He only took a day off and started to lead his troops to attack the city.

Xiahou Wang only realized this time, and he underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Qi army. In the past morning, the city changed hands several times. If he hadn't cast all his reserve forces on it, the city would have been broken long ago.

"It's over, I can't hold the Sishui Pass anymore! No, I have to withdraw quickly!" Xiahou Wang saw that it was not good, and he didn't think about guarding again that night and retreated with his men. He didn't dare to return to Luoyang City for fear that Cao Zhang would blame him. So he directly led the remaining soldiers to Wancheng.

Cao Zhang had already received a letter of help from Xiahou Wang. According to his thoughts, Xiahou Wang could be guarded for three days! He could take his men to support him with his troops. But when he turned around, Cao Zhang received the news of the fall of Sishui Pass. He only angrily threw several teacups.

However, the matter has already happened, and Cao Zhang needs to make a decision quickly, whether to guard Luoyang and how to guard it? But no matter what, there is no need to keep Hulao Pass anymore. Sishui Pass was lost, Luoyang's door was already opened, and Hulao Pass was not that important.

No matter what, let’s withdraw Hao Zhao first. Thinking of this, Cao Zhang quickly issued an order, asking Hao Zhao to give up Hulao Pass and retreat to Luoyang City. Hao Zhao was once Cao Ren’s deputy general, and now he should obey Cao Pi directly. But now the Qi army is in a big way, and Cao Pi is far away in Xiangyang City. So as soon as Cao Zhang’s order arrived, Hao Zhao accepted it almost without hesitation.

It took time for the army to retreat. In order to speed up the march, Hao Zhao simply threw away everything except food and weapons. In this way, a large group of people quietly left Hulao Pass in the middle of the night. In just one day, they arrived in Luoyang City. With Hao Zhao's 8,000 men, there were now 13,000 defenders in Luoyang City. This also made Cao Zhang feel a little relieved.

"Father, then Hao Zhao retreated now. Hulao Pass was occupied by our army so easily?" Han Bo was still a little unbelievable until he entered Hulao Pass!

Han Fei looked at his son and responded with a smile: "Then Hao Zhao is a smart person. He knows that if he doesn't leave, I will definitely cut off his retreat. So he has to retreat."

Han Bo suddenly realized after hearing this, and he nodded and said, "No wonder my father has never been to attack the city. It turns out that you thought about getting out of the Hulao Pass from the beginning."

Han Fei smiled and waved his hand and said, "Okay, we have completed the tasks arranged by the lord, and it is time to go back to Xuchang City." Han Bo was stunned when he heard Han Fei's words. He immediately asked, "My father has reached this point. Don't we fight Luoyang?"

"Hahaha, it's not that I won't fight, it's time not coming! I've brought few people this time, and I have to separate people to guard Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass, so that the staff will be even less than enough. So let's be patient for the time being!" After Han Fei said that, he patted Han Bo's shoulder and walked straight in.

Just when Han Fei took down Hulao Pass, a messenger came to Xuchang City. He was sent by either other people or the second general Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang. It turned out that after Guan Yu learned that Liu Bei wanted to become emperor, he wrote a letter to tell Liu Bei to tell him to open the road to Hanzhong as soon as possible, and he also wanted to participate in Liu Bei's ascension ceremony.
