Chapter 82: Who is Yu Gong! Merry Christmas

  Bang! How detestable! At this moment, a loud roar came from Dong Zhuo's military camp, and Dong Zhuo's eyes were about to split open with anger. The generals under the account were so frightened that they dared not speak, while several people kneeling under the account were indeed the ones who had secretly escaped from the Autumn Water Army in the woods.

  "Abominable! Treacherous wretches! I bestowed upon you the precious Red Hare steed, and yet you dare to betray me? You scoundrels, traitors to your lord!" Dong Zhuo ranted and raved for a while, suddenly feeling utterly exhausted. At this time, having traversed the prosperous city of Luoyang, his body was no longer as robust as before.

  "My lord, let's not act rashly! I have a plan to get rid of this villain and greatly weaken the allied forces." Li Ru stroked his beard, his eyes gleaming with sinister intent as he spoke in a low voice to Dong Zhuo.

  Dong Zhuo hastily asked Li Ru: "Son-in-law, speak quickly!" At this time, Dong Zhuo was furious upon learning of Qiu Shui's betrayal, but he was also terrified. He knew that if Qiu Shui and the others were to turn against him, not only would his military strength be greatly reduced, but it would also be a severe blow to morale. When the allied army attacked, Dong Zhuo doubted whether the wine bags and rice buckets under his command could withstand it, knowing that the most famous people in the army were all under Qiu Shui's command.

  "My lord, since Lü Bu has dared to betray you, he must be thinking that he can just sit back and wait for our great army and the eighteen vassal lords to fight each other like two tigers, so that he can reap the benefits... If that's the case, then..." Li Ru walked up to Dong Zhuo with a sly smile on his face.

  "Alright! Haha! I'll let that cowardly little lord know that being a fisherman isn't as easy as he thinks, our family isn't some tiger that children think it is, our family is the real deal! Haha!" Dong Zhuo was overjoyed after hearing Li Ru's words and clapped his hands in excitement.

  Afterwards, Dong Zhuo's army unexpectedly retreated! For a time, Yuan Shao and Qiu Shui were at a loss after receiving the report from their subordinates. What kind of medicine did this Dong Zhuo buy in his gourd?

  Just as Dong Zhuo's army retreated, a team of horses quietly walked towards the direction of the 18th Road Allied Army.

  When the team entered, the eighteen-road coalition army actually set up camp and advanced immediately. When Qiū Shuǐ saw it later, he originally thought that the plan was successful, but then he was a bit stunned!

  The Allied Forces' advance was not in the direction of Dong Zhuo's retreat, but rather in the direction where they had been hiding for a long time. When Qiu Shui saw this, he knew that their plan had been exposed!

  It turned out that the pair of horses and men who left Dong Zhuo's army to join the eighteen-road coalition forces were actually Li Ru's dead soldiers. These dead soldiers all pretended to surrender to the coalition forces, telling them about the military situation.

  Yuan Shao and others heard this and took a deep breath, cold sweat involuntarily flowing from their foreheads. It turned out that these soldiers had revealed to Yuan Shao and others that Dong Zhuo and others were leading the army to lure in the eighteen vassals, while Qiu Shui and others directly attacked Tiger Trap Pass, cutting off the retreat route of the eighteen vassals. At that time, all the camps of the eighteen vassals had no food or grass, and they would collapse without a fight!

  After listening, the various princes were shocked and amazed. Indeed, this autumn water was cunning and extraordinary, and had touched the opponent's way. Immediately thinking of Dong Zhuo leading his troops to retreat, everyone knew that this was likely Dong Zhuo's plan to lure the eighteen princes' coalition army deep in, and when something happened at Hu Lao Pass, the coalition forces would not be able to react in time to rush back.

  What a deep temptation of the enemy! How terrifying, how sinister! This is simply going to swallow us whole! The lords were shocked and suddenly furious, the other side was clearly treating them like fools. The Tiger Cage Pass's trick almost made the lords lose their beloved general, if it were true as the other side said, now the entire army would be in danger of being wiped out!

  How detestable! At this time, the eighteen vassals can be said to be united in their efforts to first eliminate Dong Zhuo's subordinates, such as Lü Bu and others, before getting rid of the toothless villain Dong. After all, Lü Bu and others have left a deep impression on the eighteen vassals! How terrifying!

  Woooo! The eighteen vassals immediately convened to discuss and decide to lead their troops to march towards the hiding place of Qiū Shuǐ and others, the sound of advancing war horns echoed in the sky!

  Qiu Shui's face turned iron-green as he gathered his generals, "How detestable! Someone actually dared to leak the information, they deserve to die!"

  "My lord, what shall we do now?" Hua Xiong asked anxiously, his face filled with worry. After all, they were facing a coalition army of 400,000 men! An enemy several times their number, how could they not be afraid?!

  Autumn water made a big gesture, and all the generals immediately closed their mouths and did not speak. However, they looked at Autumn Water with worried eyes. At this time, Autumn Water also had a difficult expression, but he knew that the generals in the army could not be chaotic. If not, once the high-ranking generals panicked, it would trigger a chain reaction, affecting morale, and the military's mind would be unstable, and the battle would be lost without fighting.

  Qiu Shui gritted his teeth and his mind began to spin rapidly. A fierce battle? No way! The enemy outnumbered them several times, not to mention the opponent had 200,000 spirited soldiers, while their own army's infantry were all ineffective in combat, and the cavalry, having traveled a long distance without proper rest, were exhausted. Once a big battle began, even if they could muster up seven or eight layers of strength, a fierce battle would be a surefire way to seek death.

  As for the retreat, it is even more impossible. Not to mention the tasks given by the Wheel of Space, but also the great army wants to cross the river. At that time, the Allied Forces only need to strike halfway, and at that time, they will be defeated even more miserably.

  Just as Qiu Shui was at a loss, a bright light suddenly flashed in his mind, thinking of various battles in history. He immediately opened his eyes, and at this time, all the generals looked at their commander's calm and composed eyes, without the urgency and chaos of just now. For a moment, all the generals thought that Qiu Shui had already come up with a clever plan. After exchanging glances, they thought of the trick in Hu Lao Pass. If it weren't for the heavy rain from the sky, the eighteen-road allied army would have ended miserably by now, and there wouldn't be today's triumph.

  Qiu Shui's face cooled down as he glanced around at the various generals, and he nodded slightly. Indeed, the ancient saying "the general is the backbone of the army" was not wrong. Just now, Qiu Shui's anxious expression had caused all the generals in the tent to become flustered, but now that Qiu Shui had calmed down, the generals also became calm.

  If I don't calm down, once these generals return to their troops, a chain reaction will occur, and the army's morale will collapse, making it difficult to win this battle!

  "Bring me the map!" The cold voice came out of Akizuki's mouth, making the soldiers in the army feel uneasy.

  After the local map was taken by a small soldier, Qiu Shui silently stared at the map hanging on the wooden frame with a pair of cold eyes. The military officers and men all looked at Qiu Shui with their eyes fixed, waiting for his orders at any time, knowing that the allied army had set out and their own army was not far away.

  Qiu Shui gazed at the terrain before him, thinking that among the eighteen allied armies, there were iron cavalrymen, especially the White Horse Volunteers under Gongsun Zan's command, who were brave and skilled in battle, no less than Dong Zhuo's Flying Bear Army. Moreover, his camp had tens of thousands of elite cavalrymen, plus the cavalrymen from other lords' camps. Qiu Shui knew that even if he found a suitable location to fight with favorable terrain, it was unlikely they could win, considering the enemy had hundreds of thousands of infantrymen.
