Seeing that the siege battle was difficult to distinguish, Dong Zhuo and the allies had no choice but to call out the truce again.

For a while, Dong Zhuo and the allies fell into a stalemate again.

The princes saw that Dong Zhuo's defense was so strong, and everyone immediately retreated, because it was protracted, and there was no benefit to the princes, and they responded to Cao Cao's call to send troops to fight Dong in order to earn political fame, and if they could not make a profit, everyone would definitely not want to continue to consume.

When Yuan Shao noticed that all the princes except Cao Cao were retreating, although he was anxious, there was nothing he could do, after all, he was only the nominal leader of the alliance, and he could not insist on keeping the princes.

Just when Yuan Shao was helpless, the messenger sent by Wang Kai finally passed through Hangu Pass and continued towards the Allied camp outside the Tiger Prison Pass.

Forty-five days later.

Wang Kai's messenger finally stepped into the Allied camp.

The princes who were deliberating were confused when they learned that the messenger had arrived.

Immediately after, Yuan Shao immediately summoned the messenger into the camp, because he wanted to see what the purpose of the messenger was.

When Wang Kai's two soldiers saw Yuan Shao, they immediately saluted respectfully and explained the purpose of their coming to the Allied camp.

When Yuan Shao and the others learned that the two messengers were subordinates under the command of Wang Kai, the general of Anxi, everyone was taken aback.

Immediately after, Yuan Shao immediately asked: "I don't know what happened to Wang Anxi and the others?" ”

"Back to my lord, the villain is here to send a letter to the general, I have here a joint letter from Lord Jingzhao Yin Gai Xungai and General Anxi Wang Kaiwang, I hope the alliance master will check it!"

"Hurry up!"

Seeing that the messenger was about to step forward, Cao Cao suddenly stopped the messenger and said, "Wait, what credentials do you two have to claim to be the messengers of General Wang and Lord Gai?" If you are the assassins sent by the Dong thief, then we are not in danger of being put in danger. ”

Suddenly, hearing Cao Cao say this, the guards around the princes drew their swords one after another.

Even Yuan Shao listened to Cao Cao's words and let the two soldiers under Wang Kai stop in place.

Seeing that the people around him drew their swords one after another, one of the soldiers immediately took out the letter and placed it on the ground.

Then the soldier immediately said, "If you do not believe, take the letter yourself." With that, the two soldiers immediately took a few steps back.

Seeing this, Cao Cao immediately thought: 'Could it be that I am thinking too much?' ’

And after the rest of the princes saw the behavior of the two soldiers, everyone immediately looked at Cao Cao.

Seeing that the princes were all looking at him, Cao Cao suddenly smiled awkwardly and said, "It seems that I have thought too much, so let me take the letter and hand it over to Yu Mengzhu to read!" ”

Immediately, Cao Cao immediately came to the two soldiers and bent down to pick up the letter.

Immediately after, Cao Cao walked quickly to Yuan Shao with the letter and said, "Please check the alliance leader!" ”

Yuan Shao immediately took the letter in Cao Cao's hand, and then quickly browsed it.

After Yuan Shao finished watching, he immediately laughed and said yes.

Seeing Yuan Shaoxi's smile, Yuan Yi immediately asked, "Alliance leader, what did the letter say that made you so happy?" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I guess you all want to know the contents of the letter!"

Jizhou Mu Han Fu continued: "This is natural, and the leader of the Wangmeng Alliance also told one or two. ”

"Then let me tell you, Anxi General Wang Kai and Jingzhao Yin Gaixun raised 40,000 Chen soldiers in front of Hangu Pass, and they sent a letter inviting me to jointly send troops to attack Dong Thief."

Hearing this, the princes immediately began to discuss.

Seeing that the discussion among the princes was in full swing, Yuan Shao just watched quietly and did not speak.

After a while, Yuan Yi took the lead and said: "Alliance leader, if this matter is true, then we should agree to come down, with the 40,000 army in the west to contain it, the strength of the Dong thief will definitely be stretched." ”

After Yuan Yi finished speaking, the rest of the princes also expressed their agreement.

Seeing that everyone did not have an opinion to the left, Yuan Shao immediately said: "Okay, since everyone has this intention, then I will write back to General Wang and Master Gai to agree on the date of sending troops." ”

Immediately after, Yuan Shao immediately wrote a reply.

When the letter was written, Yuan Shao immediately asked the letter to be handed over to the soldiers under Wang Kai.

After receiving Yuan Shao's reply, the two soldiers immediately saluted respectfully, and then returned the same way with the reply.

Seeing the messenger leaving, Yuan Shao wrote another letter and sent it to Yuan Shu in Luyang County.

After Yuan Shu received Yuan Shao's letter, he did not act immediately, because he did not want to consume his troops, and he was still waiting for Sun Jian to lead his troops back.

Besides, the two soldiers under Wang Kai's command walked for about forty-five days, and they finally returned to the military camp in front of Hangu Pass to report to Wang Kai and Gai Xun.

After Gai Xun learned that Yuan Shao had written a reply, he immediately took the letter and read it, but Wang Kai didn't say anything after seeing this, because it was not appropriate for him to expose his ultimate goal now.

After Gai Xun read Yuan Shao's reply, he immediately smiled and said to Wang Kai: "General Wang, Yuan Shao promised to send troops together, and he said in the letter that Dong Thief is confronting the main force of the Allied forces at Tiger Prison Pass, and we just took the opportunity to capture Hangu Pass and cut off Dong Thief's retreat to Chang'an. ”

"Lord Gai, then I will immediately send troops to attack the problem."

Gai Xun nodded happily when he heard this.

Immediately, Wang Kai ordered Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong to immediately organize their troops and start attacking Hangu Pass.

Li Dao and Guo Yan, who were sitting in Hangu Pass, saw that Wang Kai's army, which had been halted for a long time, finally dispatched, and they immediately commanded the Xiliang army to prepare to defend the city on the city tower.

When the two armies were almost ready, Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong immediately commanded the soldiers to start fighting with Li Dao and Guo Yan.

At the same time, Yuan Shao and the princes also began to storm the Tiger Prison Pass.

When Dong Zhuo, who was in the Tiger Prison Pass, saw that the offensive of the allies was not the same as before, although he was suspicious, he couldn't understand what was wrong, so he had to command the soldiers to defend the Tiger Prison Pass with all his might.

Besides, Yuan Shu in Luyang County, after Sun Jian finished training the recruits, he immediately rushed from Yuzhou to Luyang County to join Yuan Shu.

Knowing that Sun Jian led his troops to arrive, Yuan Shu immediately informed Sun Jian of the movements of Yuan Shao and Wang Kai.

When Sun Jian learned that Wang Kai and Gai Xun were attacking Hangu Pass, and that the main force of the allied forces was attacking Tiger Prison Pass, he immediately asked Yuan Shu for orders to attack Yique Pass.

Yuan Shu saw that Sun Jian took the initiative to ask for orders to attack Yique Pass, and he just happened to push the boat down the river and agreed to Sun Jian's request.

As Sun Jian led his troops to Yique Pass, fierce battles broke out in Hangu Pass on the west side of Luoyang, Tiger Prison Pass on the east side of Luoyang, and Yique Pass on the south side of Luoyang.

After a month of continuous fighting at the three passes, the Xiliang army at Hangu Pass, Yique Pass, and Hujiao Pass all experienced a shortage of personnel.

Seeing the fierce attack of the enemy, Li Dao and Guo Yan of Hangu Pass and Xu Rong of Yique Pass quickly appealed to Dong Zhuo for help.

After Dong Zhuo, who was also facing a shortage of personnel in Tiger Pass, received letters of help from Li Dao and Xu Rong, he immediately summoned Li Ru to discuss a solution.

When Li Ru learned that there was also a crisis on the east and south sides of Luoyang, he immediately said to Dong Zhuojin: "My lord, it seems that it is not feasible to hold the pass, and the only way to do this is to gather the army and evacuate to Luoyang, and then fight with the allies." ”

Although Dong Zhuo was unwilling to hear this, he finally adopted Li Ru's suggestion.
