At the same time that the sour jujube coalition army rushed to the Tiger Prison Pass, Yuan Shao, Han Fu and Wang Kuang also assembled in Shanyang County, Hanoi County.

After the three armies converged, Han Fu and Wang Kuang immediately met with Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance.

When Yuan Shao saw Han Fu and Wang Kuang coming, he immediately smiled and said, "Han Zhou Mu, Wang Taishou, you are here!" ”

Wang Kuang immediately replied: "Alliance leader, I have led 6,000 men and horses from my headquarters to help. ”

Han Fu followed and replied: "Alliance leader, I brought 20,000 horses from Jizhou to help. ”

"Okay, with the help of the two, it will be just around the corner to win the north side of Luoyang!"

Subsequently, Yuan Shao immediately asked Han Fu and Wang Kuang to go back to reorganize the army, and prepare to go to the northern gate of Luoyang - Yiguan.

A few days later, the combined forces of Yuan Shao, Han Fu and Wang Kuang came to the outside of Yiguan Pass.

When Zhang Ji, the commander of the town guarding Yiguan, saw the appearance of the allies, he immediately sent people out of the pass to inquire about the news.

When Zhang Ji learned that the allied forces outside the Guanxi were composed of Jizhou Mu Hanfu, Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, and Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, he did not send an envoy to ask for reinforcements, because Yuan Shao's combined army was probably only more than 30,000 people.

Besides, after Yuan Shao rested with Han Fu and Wang Kuang for a night, Yuan Shao immediately sent troops with Han Fu and Wang Kuang to attack Yiguan at the same time.

Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, who were guarding the pass, saw that the allies had launched an attack, and they immediately commanded the officers and men of the Xiliang Army under their command to defend the pass with all their might.

After a day of offensive and defensive battles, Yuan Shao was quite surprised, because under his expectations, he felt that Dong Zhuo should not send heavy troops to guard the Yiguan at the northern gate of Luoyang, and he could drive straight to Luoyang, but now the solidity of the Yiguan defense completely disrupted his deployment.

After the end of the day's offensive and defensive battle, Yuan Shao immediately found Han Fu and Wang Kuang, and said to them: "Han Zhou Mu, Wang Taishou, I really underestimated this Dong Zhuo, I didn't expect Dong Zhuo to send heavy troops to guard the pass, my previous plan may be in vain, this pass is guarded by heavy troops, with the strength of the three of us is difficult to break through, for today's plan is to quickly evacuate the pass, and rush to the tiger prison before the other princes converge." ”

Han Fu and Wang Kuang immediately agreed after hearing this, because after a day of offensive and defensive battles, their forces were reduced a lot.

With the approval of Han Fu and Wang Kuang, Yuan Shao, Han Fu and Wang Kuang immediately withdrew their troops and left Yiguan overnight.

When Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, the guards of the pass, got up the next day and found that the coalition forces outside the pass had disappeared without a trace, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou immediately looked at each other, because they thought that Yuan Shao, Han Fu and Wang Kuang would fight to the death, after all, the momentum of their siege on the first day was very fast.

After that, Zhang Ji immediately sent someone to pass on the whereabouts of Yuan Shao, Han Fu and Wang Kuang back to Luoyang City.

Just when Yuan Shao, Han Fu and Wang Kuang led their troops to the front of the Tiger Prison Pass, Dong Zhuo, who had returned from Hangu Pass, also happened to meet Xu Rong's deputy general Duan Xuan.

Immediately after, Dong Zhuo immediately asked Duan Xuan: "Duan Xuan, shouldn't you be stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass, why did you appear in Luoyang City?" ”

After Duan Xuan suddenly heard Dong Zhuo's voice, he immediately looked for prestige.

After seeing that it was indeed Dong Zhuo who spoke, Duan Xuan immediately knelt down and said, "My lord, the 70,000 troops of the Kwantung princes have entered the Tiger Prison Pass, and General Xu has sent me back to ask for reinforcements. ”

"What, the forces of the Kwantung princes are so strong, it seems that I am still too merciful."

After speaking, Dong Zhuo asked Duan Xuan to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass with 10,000 people, and he himself ordered Li Dao and Guo Yan to arrest and imprison all the families of Taifu Yuan Kui and Taifu Yuan Ji to the Heavenly Prison.

After that, Dong Zhuo ordered Li Dao and Guo Yan to go to Hanguguan to replace Lu Bu and Li Ru.

After Li Dao and Guo Yan received the order, they set out on the road to Hangu Pass with their own soldiers.

A few days later, Li Dao and Guo Yan finally arrived at Hangu Pass and took over from Lü Bu and Li Ru.

After handing over the matter, Li Ru immediately said to Li Dao and Guo Yan: "General Li, General Guo, Wang Kai's army outside the city is strong, you had better not take the initiative to go out to meet the battle, and holding Hangu Pass is your primary goal." ”

After hearing this, Li Dao and Guo Yan immediately respectfully agreed.

Immediately, Li Ru and Lü Bu left Hangu Pass and returned to Luoyang.

It's a few more days.

As Li Ru and Lu Bu returned to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered the Taifu Yuan Kui and the Taifu Yuan Ji to be wiped out, after all, the alliance leader of the Kwantung princes was Yuan Shao, and he didn't want to leave any trouble.

After Dong Zhuo wiped out the Yuan family, the ministers of the court and the central government were suddenly suppressed by Dong Zhuo's ruthlessness again.

Seeing that the ministers of the court and the central government could not afford to disagree for the time being, Dong Zhuo immediately recruited 20,000 soldiers to accompany him to the Tiger Prison Pass.

After this conscription, Dong Zhuo basically had no defenders near Luoyang.

Not long after Dong Zhuo led his troops to leave Luoyang, the news from Zhang Ji's side also reached Dong Zhuo's hands.

When he learned that Yuan Shao would disappear one day after attacking Yiguan, Dong Zhuo also guessed that Yuan Shao should have rushed to the front of the Tiger Prison Pass.

Immediately, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered to speed up the march.

Besides, after Yuan Shao, Han Fu and Wang Kuangjun left Yiguan, they hurried all the way, and it only took ten days to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass and join forces with the rest of the princes.

Since then, the strength of the coalition has approached more than 100,000 people.

With the arrival of Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, the princes of the alliance in the sour jujube alliance also met with Yuan Shao soon.

When Yuan Shao saw the arrival of the princes, he immediately said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am not late!" ”

"Alliance leader, you are not late, I am still helpless against this tiger prison now." Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yu answered.

After hearing Yuan Yi's words, Yuan Shao immediately smiled.

And Cao Cao's heart at this time was really angry, if it weren't for the unwillingness of the princes to sacrifice, he was afraid that the Tiger Prison Pass would have been conquered.

Immediately after, Yuan Shao said: "I originally planned to go south from the north gate of Luoyang with Wang Taishou and Hanzhou Mu to disrupt Dong Zhuo's troop deployment from the inside and reduce casualties, but who knew that Dong Zhuo had expected it and arranged heavy troops to guard it, and this pass could not go anymore, and we could only storm the Tiger Pass now." ”

Hearing Yuan Shao say this, Liu Dai and the others, who had not contributed to the work before, suddenly looked at each other, because they were all selfish and really didn't want to consume too many troops, but after all, the alliance leader Yuan Shao spoke, although they could fool Cao Cao before, but they couldn't blatantly fool Yuan Shao, after all, Yuan Shao's identity was much more noble than Cao Cao.

In desperation, Liu Dai and Kong Ling had to take the lead in echoing Yuan Shao's words.

Immediately after, the princes of the Sour Jujube Alliance agreed with a smile.

Seeing this situation, Cao Cao's heart felt powerless, and he thought: 'All the princes have their own ghosts, but I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will be difficult to redeem!' ’

After that, Yuan Shao said: "I rushed to the Tiger Prison Pass with Han Zhou Mu and Wang Taishou, and my soldiers and horses were exhausted, and I wanted to cultivate for a few days before sending troops." ”

After hearing this, all the princes of the Sour Jujube Alliance had no opinion.

Besides, when Xu Rong in the city saw that the allies had added reinforcements, he immediately sent additional men to patrol day and night to prevent the allies from attacking the Tiger Prison Pass at night.

Three days later, Yuan Shao, Han Fu and Wang Kuangjun finally regained their strength.

At this point, Yuan Shao immediately ordered all the princes to send troops to attack the Tiger Prison Pass at the same time.

Xu Rong, who was guarding the Tiger Prison Pass, saw that the allies had finally moved seriously, and he immediately commanded the soldiers of the Xiliang Army to defend the city with all their might.
