The distance between Luoyang and Hangu Pass is similar to the distance between Chang'an and Tongguan, but Liu Bei is different from Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei personally led the army to Tongguan the next day after receiving Jia Xu's message.

Therefore, when Liu Bei arrived at Tongguan, Dong Zhuo was still a day's way away from Tongguan.

After Liu Bei led an army of 70,000 into Tongguan, Huangfu Li and Jia Xu led Liu Bei into the city lord's mansion!

"General Huangfu, now that I have arrived at Tongguan, but we are in the same pass, we need to work together, we need to have an alliance leader, I don't know if I Liu Bei can be the leader of this alliance?" Liu Bei asked.

"Liu Duhu, I'm worried about it, my emperor Fu Li has asked Liu Duhu to defend Tongguan with a certain Dong Zhuo, so he has already thought about recognizing Liu Duhu as the master, and I just ask him to let someone kill Dong Zhuo one day!" Huangfu Li is quite upright!

"Okay, in this way, I, Liu Bei, will definitely help you kill Dong Zhuo's subordinates." After that, Liu Bei ordered Huangfu Li to be the captain and continued to lead the first 15,000 troops.

Then Liu Bei did not stop, and ordered Liang Xing, Yang Qiu and others to lead the Flying Tiger Qiang soldiers to dismount and fight on foot and 10,000 sword and shield foot soldiers in the hands of Huangfu Li, a total of 55,000 troops, and the whole army stormed Hangu Pass.

And 10,000 tigers and leopards and 25,000 black flag troops were stationed in Guannei and Tongguan respectively!

Moreover, Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Pang De and other generals all risked arrows and participated in the siege together, although Hangu Pass was limited to danger several times, but Xu Rong defended it!

As for Hangu Pass, Xu Rong dispatched this soldier to defend this section of the Hangu Pass city wall, which was not too long, and at the same time sent people to report to Dong Zhuo, saying that Liu Bei led an army of 100,000 to storm Hangu Pass day and night.

The entire Hangu Pass offensive and defensive battle lasted for a whole day and night, and because the Hangu Pass was not particularly spacious, the losses on both sides were not too large.

Liu Bei's 55,000 army of Tiger and Leopard and Huangfu Li suffered about 10,000 casualties, while Xu Rong's army only had 4,000 dead and wounded. In the end, when Liu Bei learned that Dong Zhuo had arrived with his army, he Ming Jin withdrew his troops.

That night, Liu Bei was discussing with Jia Xu, Chen Gong, Tian Yu and others how to take Hangu Pass. In the barracks of Liu Bei's army, a group of Qiang soldiers and young generals in the Flying Tiger Army were together.

"Hmph, this Liu Bei doesn't take our Qiang soldiers as people, when he attacked Chang'an City, he also let us dismount and attack the city." A young general said.

"Yes, later, after taking Chang'an, some of the brothers didn't hold back for a while, and robbed some of the people's property, and he killed more than 3,000 people."

"And now, he Liu Bei has no foot soldiers, but once again let us dismount and attack the city, causing us to injure more than 7,000 people, his Liu Bei's cavalry is cavalry, aren't we?"

"yes, yes, it's obviously using us as cannon fodder." Another young general said angrily.

"What's more important is that now it's with our old friend Dong Tingshi, how can we be good!"

"We can't work for Liu Bei anymore, this Liu Bei obviously wants to consume us, and then seek to seize our tribe."

"Then what should I do, this Liu Bei sent Liang Xing and other eight generals to command me and wait, even if I have the heart, I can be seen soon!"

"It's easy to hide from Liang Xing and others, but the main question is where we will go." Then a group of Xiqiang generals discussed it with you and me.

The generals of the Qiang soldiers began to discuss continuously, and finally all the young generals returned to their camps, only one of the young generals turned over and climbed out of Tongguan, like walking in the night!

At this time, in Liu Bei's military tent, Liu Bei and a group of generals gathered together. Liu Bei saw everyone sitting still, and then spoke!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I originally wanted to take Hangu Pass with the power of thunder, so even if Dong Zhuo led the army to come, I could only look at the pass and sigh.

However, I never thought that Xu Rong's resistance was so resolute, we didn't have the slightest opportunity, and now that Dong Zhuo has led a large army into Hangu Pass, how can we win? ”

"Lord, now there are more than 130,000 troops in Hangu Pass, but our army is only 90,000 people, if we forcibly attack the fortifications, we will not be able to succeed, only to lead Dong Zhuo to fight under the pass!"

Chen Gong thought about it and said first.

"But Dong Zhuo is not stupid, how can he lead him to a decisive battle with me, besides, even if it is a decisive battle, we may not be able to win!" Liu Bei said with embarrassment.

"Don't be arrogant, the lord should not be arrogant, there are 10,000 tigers and leopards to ride, which is enough to resist Dong Zhuo's army of 40,000 or 50,000, and with the Black Flag Army and the Flying Tiger Army, you should be 60% sure of Dong Zhuo's field battle." Jia Xu replied with a smile.

"Strategist, then you say, how to lure Dong Zhuo to the decisive battle?" Lu Bu said impatiently.

"This is not an easy task, we need to think about it in the long run?" After that, all the civil and military officers discussed in Liu Bei's tent how to induce Dong Zhuo to go down to the decisive battle until the second half of the night.

At this time, someone outside the station came to report that Dong Zhuo's envoy asked to see him.

After thinking about it, Liu Bei ordered someone to bring Dong Zhuo's envoy in.

"Liu Duhu, a certain is Prime Minister Dong Cheng Zhang Xia Xu Rong, today Prime Minister Dong Cheng sent a certain person to make an appointment with Liu Duhu, and tomorrow he will talk about the old relationship outside the customs." After Xu Rong finished speaking, he didn't speak, but stood aside and waited for Liu Bei's reply.

"That's very good, you go back and tell Dong Zhuo, just say that at noon tomorrow, I will talk to him." After hearing this, Xu Rong walked out of the camp and returned to Hangu Pass!

Since he is going to meet Dong Zhuo tomorrow, Liu Bei will also let the civil and military go back to rest, and think about countermeasures by the way!

At noon the next day, Liu Bei and Dong Zhuo both led an army of 20,000 out of the pass, and when the two armies were five miles apart, Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei each rode out alone.

"Brother Xuandexian, since the second year of Zhongping, we haven't seen each other for five years now, right? On that day, I didn't want to meet again, but I was on the battlefield! Dong Zhuo said with a look of regret.

"Indeed, I didn't expect that what you did to abolish the emperor, kill the queen, and kill the concubine is no longer the work of a courtier, and how can I not be an enemy of you?" Liu Bei said.

"How about making a deal with Xuande?" Dong Zhuo said!

"If you want me to shake hands with you and make peace, but there is no way, I will kill you and save the Son of Heaven." Liu Bei said angrily!

"The Son of Heaven can not be saved by you, I am willing to return the Son of Heaven to you, as long as you give Liangzhou and Chang'an to me, and then you can take the Son of Heaven to the Western Regions, we have nothing to do with each other, how about it?"

Dong Zhuo's words really made Liu Bei stunned!

"Dong Zhongying, you have to talk flatteringly, whether it is Liangzhou or Chang'an, but they are all the world of the Han Dynasty, and they are not my bargaining chips for trading with you!" Liu Bei argued!

"Haha, Brother Xuandexian, you and I are all the way, and we both go to the chair of the target, but I show my true colors, and you are a wolf in sheep's clothing!" Dong Zhuo laughed.

"Dong thief, it is useless for Hugh to say this, if you are really willing to return the Son of Heaven, you will not bother with me again. Let's talk about your specific purpose! ”

"Xuande, I don't say much to you, today I talk to you about the previous friendship, and then I want to make an appointment with you!" Dong Zhuo spoke again!

"Oh, about war? I don't know how to make a covenant war? Liu Bei asked suspiciously!

"It's simple, but you and I each led a large army to set up a battle in the wilderness of Tongguan and Hangu Pass, how about it?" Dong Zhuo said with a smile.

"Unlimited?" Liu Bei asked!

"There is no limit to the number, I think both you and I know that Hangu Pass has more than 130,000 troops at this time, while Tongguan has less than 90,000 troops, and in the short term, you and I can't transfer the army!"

"Okay, then I, Liu Bei, will have a battle with you!" Liu Bei also said suddenly!

"Okay, five days later, still here, let's set up a battle to see who is the god of war of the Han Dynasty!"

After saying that, the two rode their horses back to their own army!

After Liu Bei returned to the camp, he was at a loss, talking about Dong Zhuo's appointment, and Liu Bei's civil and military personnel were also at a loss when they learned about it.

Then Jia Xu came out of the class and said: "Maybe Dong Zhuo brought the elite of the elite this time, so he should dare to fight with the lord?" ”

"I don't know, but Dong Thief is quite confident, and he must have a magic weapon to win, which is why I agreed to fight in five days.

Although we can't learn about Dong Thief's poisonous plot for the time being, we have been preparing carefully and not being afraid of him in the past few days. ”

All the generals took the orders and left!

And Dong Zhuo replied to Hanguguan, but he laughed, "Liu Xuande, you are not as good as me after all!" ”
