Cheng Pu waited in Luyang County for a few days, and Huang Gai and Han Dang came to Luyang County to join Cheng Pu.

A few days later, Sun Jian also returned to Luyang County.

After learning of Sun Jian's return, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang immediately rushed to the city gate to meet Sun Jian.

And after Yuan Shu learned that Sun Jian had returned, he also rushed to the city gate.

Sun Jian, who was talking to Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang, saw Yuan Shu appear, he immediately stopped talking, and then angrily came to Yuan Shu and asked, "General Yuan, why don't you send troops to support me?" And why did you cut off my military rations? ”

"Wentai is angry, I have found out about this matter, it is my staff who are jealous of Wentai's military exploits, so they detain Wentai's military rations from me, I immediately ordered the generals to come with food after learning about this, but unfortunately it was a step late, and then I immediately demoted the young man out of my military camp."

After hearing Yuan Shu's explanation, although Sun Jian saw that this was a lie full of loopholes, he did not expose it, because he didn't want to offend Yuan Shu too much, after all, he didn't have a single soldier now, and he wanted to rely on Yuan Shu to re-expand.

Immediately, Sun Jian replied: "General Yuan, now that I have lost my troops and lost generals, I hope that General Yuan will allow the last general to return to his hometown to recruit troops." ”

As soon as he heard this, Yuan Shu thought that Sun Jian didn't want to kill Dong anymore, and he suddenly said anxiously: "Wentai, can you come back when you go?" ”

"General Yuan, it will take at least a year for new recruits to become an army, I think Dong Thief must have been defeated and retreated at that time, so there is no need for me to come back!"

"Nope."

Seeing that Yuan Shu had vetoed it, Sun Jian immediately asked pretendedly, "Why not?" ”

"This ......"

Yuan Shu thought for a while and immediately replied: "Wentai, I believe that you are the first person to defeat Dong Thief's subordinates, if you lose you, Dong Thief may be difficult to be pacified, can Wentai bear to let Dong Thief continue to be so arrogant?" ”

"General Yuan, the last general returned with a fiasco, and there is no soldier left, how can I crusade against Dong Thief?"

"Wentai, isn't there just no soldiers, I will lend you 3,000 soldiers and horses and let you go to Yuzhou to recruit troops, what do you think?"

"General Yuan, this is not appropriate!"

"What's wrong? Is Wentai afraid that he will not be able to command my troops or is he afraid that he will not be able to recruit the strongest? It's not a problem, as long as I say hello, these problems can be solved. ”

Sun Jian saw that Yuan Shu boasted of Haikou, he pretended to hesitate for a moment and then replied: "If this is the case, the last general begs General Yuan to give me three months, and after three months, I will attack Yique Pass again." ”

"Okay, Wentai, I'll give you three months to recruit and practice."

"The last general, General Xie Yuan, is very gracious!"

"Wentai doesn't have to be like this, it's all about eliminating Dong thieves and benefiting the people of the world!"

After that, Yuan Shu immediately requisitioned 3,000 military horses and handed them over to Sun Jian to recruit troops in Yuzhou.

After Sun Jian led the troops, he immediately took Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang towards Yuzhou.

As for Yuan Shu, after he gave Sun Jian 3,000 soldiers and horses, he continued to hold his troops in Luyang County.

At this point, both the Allies and the Dong thieves fell into a state of armistice.

Let's talk about the letter back to Guguan here.

When Wang Kai and Gai Xun stayed in Hangu Pass for a period of time and found that the Xiliang Army in Hangu Pass had not moved for a long time, Gai Xun immediately found Wang Kai and said to him: "General Wang, the Xiliang Army in Hangu Pass is too calm, how long has it been, and we haven't fought a single battle, is it that Dong Thief is no longer in Hangu Pass?" ”

"Master Gai, what do you care about Dong Thief, as long as we have Chen Bing here for one day, Dong Thief will not be able to live in peace for a day."

"General Wang, I'm not worried about this, I'm worried about the situation of the princes' coalition army, in case the princes' coalition army doesn't make any progress for a long time, then wouldn't we waste a good opportunity to eliminate Dong thief?"

"What do you mean?"

"I think, since we have blocked the way of Dong Thief, why don't we send a messenger to contact Yuan Shao, the lord of the allies, and then send troops together, I believe that even if Dong Thief has strong troops, he will definitely be overstretched if he faces two battlefields."

"I understand what Lord Gai means, it's just that the contact with the alliance leader Yuan Shao is a little difficult, and our messenger has to take a detour."

"General Wang, this matter is easy to handle, just send two soldiers who are good at walking mountain roads, I know a route through the mountains."

"Yamanaka? What does Lady Gai mean? ”

"General Wang, the four passes in Luoyang are all built on the mountain, although it is difficult for the army to pass, but if there are only two people, you can bypass the checkpoint by walking the mountain road."

"I see!"

"General Wang, do you have any soldiers under your command who are good at hiking?"

As soon as he heard this, Wang Kai suddenly thought: "Contact Yuan Shao, the princes of Kwantung are all with their own ghosts, and it is clear in the history books, after Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, the princes attacked each other, if I send someone to invite Yuan Shao to send troops together, once the Dong thief is really eliminated, I am afraid that the melee of the princes may not happen, so what should I do with the goal of dominating the world?" ’

Seeing that Wang Kai was deep in thought, Gai Xun thought that Wang Kai was thinking of a suitable candidate, so he didn't speak out.

After a while, Wang Kai finally replied: "Lord Gai, it's a long way to contact Yuan Meng's master, I don't think it's necessary!" ”

"General Wang, although we responded to the Yuan Alliance Lord's dispatch of troops, we did not contact the Yuan League Lord, I think it is better to contact, isn't General Wang not worried about the safety of the Son of Heaven at all?"

"How is this possible, my master is the famous Huangfu General"

"Then what else does General Wang have to hesitate about?"

After saying something that he couldn't regret in a moment of excitement, Wang Kai could only reply helplessly: "Okay then! I will send two soldiers to contact Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance. ”

"That's great!"

Immediately, Wang Kai selected two soldiers who were good at walking mountain roads in front of Gai Xun.

Immediately after, Wang Kai immediately ordered the two to embark on the road to the Allied camp with the letter.

At the same time, when Yuan Shao learned that Sun Jian had won first and then lost, he suddenly felt his own pressure, because the generals under Yuan Shu's command had already won the pass once, although he still gave it back in the end, it was much better than he had been helpless against the Tiger Prison Pass.

Finally, Yuan Shao once again convened all the princes to discuss the matter of attacking the Tiger Pass.

After resting for a long time, the princes could no longer shirk, and finally agreed to Yuan Shao's request and began to send troops.

This time, Yuan Shao no longer dared to order the princes under his command to fight, after all, Lu Bu's courage was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Besides, Dong Zhuo in the Tiger Prison Pass learned that the allies had finally sent troops again, and after thinking about it, he still did not send Lu Bu to fight, but commanded his soldiers to defend the city.

For a time, the Tiger Prison Pass became a human-shaped meat grinder, and the Xiliang Army and the allied soldiers under Dong Zhuo died in large numbers.

Seeing this tragic situation, Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao were gritting their teeth to support them, after all, whoever withdraws the troops first may collapse.

After several days of continuous fighting, Dong Zhuo and the allies still failed to distinguish the winner.
