In Chang'an City, Xun You received Liu Bei's order to recruit troops from the three counties of Fufeng on the right, Feng Yi on the left, and Jingzhao Yin on the left.

The population of the three counties is not particularly large, Jingzhaoyin has a population of 280,000, Zuo Fengyi has a population of 40,000, and Youfufeng has a population of only 90,000.

This is also the reason why Liu Bei did not immediately recruit soldiers after occupying the three counties!

And now, the war has once again engulfed the three counties, so the people are more afraid, afraid that the war will destroy their homes and destroy the hard-won peace.

So when Xun You and Liu Bei's treatment was announced together, there were still many young men in the army!

Let's say that Liu Bei's treatment of the soldiers is really good, and all the soldiers who join the army can get ten acres of rent-free land. At the same time, the soldiers also had a lot of military salaries.

After dying in battle, he didn't have to worry about his family's livelihood, so even if Liu Bei was newly awarded the three counties, the conscription work was relatively smooth.

Seven days later, Xun You sent the first batch of 20,000 young men to Tongguan. And Tongguan has been attacking for seven days and seven nights day and night!

For seven days and seven nights, Lu Bu, Hua Xiong and others will be divided into two shifts and stationed on the city wall day and night, and after seven days, only 18,000 of the 30,000 guards remained.

If it weren't for the presence of heavy cavalry like the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry turned into heavy infantry, perhaps the entire Tongguan would have been captured!

Even fierce generals like Lu Bu, Hua Xiong, Qin Liang, Zhang Fei, Zhang Xiaozhi and Zhang Haolin have been injured several times!

When Jia Xu saw Xun You's first batch of young men and feel Tongguan, Jia Xu was overjoyed, and divided them into four parts, which were handed over to the six generals of Lu Bu to command, and they practiced day and night.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo and Xu Rong led the army to attack Tongguan day and night, and the loss of the entire soldier was three times that of Liu Bei, less than 40,000 soldiers.

Dong Zhuo's tent!

"My lord, today the Malay newspaper said that 20,000 reinforcements have arrived in Tongguan! And our army has lost less than 40,000, and there are still 100,000 troops at the moment!

And after receiving clear information, Liu Bei had already left Tongguan and returned to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion. Now the commander of Tongguan is Jia Xu, a military advisor. Xu Rong said.

"Hey, Liu Bei's army deserves to be a strong army, if it weren't for the Qiang rebellion to help me, I wouldn't have the absolute upper hand like I do now!

It's just that now that Liu Bei is constantly reinforced, presumably in a short period of time, our army will not be able to capture Tongguan! "After all, Dong Zhuo has been on the battlefield for a long time and is a military officer, so he opened his mouth and said!

"That's what I'm going to say to my lord. For a while, the lord couldn't take Tongguan, and the lord couldn't go to Liangzhou.

And Liu Bei will definitely put down the rebellion of the Qiang people in Liangzhou, and when Liangzhou is pacified, the loyalty of the Qiang soldiers in Liangzhou under the command of the lord remains to be investigated!

More importantly, the lord never had the opportunity to seize the land of Liangzhou, and the idea of moving the capital to Chang'an, which the lord discussed with the military adviser, could not be implemented.

Then, the lord had to face the siege of the Shandong coalition army, but instead acted as a barrier for this Liu Bei. Xu Rong said with some concern!

"I am also worried about this, these days, the generals of the Qiang people in Liangzhou have come to me every day, asking me to strengthen the attack and capture Tongguan as soon as possible.

But how can this Tongguan be won so easily, I am also having a headache! Dong Zhuo frowned and spoke!

While the two were talking, a pro-soldier reported that Li Ru had sent an urgent battle report.

Dong Zhuo finished reading Li Ru's urgent battle report, but he understood the current situation of Tiger Prison.

The alliance of the princes of Tiger Prison Pass also wanted to take Tiger Prison Pass as soon as possible like Dong Zhuo, so they also attacked day and night.

Moreover, the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Tiger Prison Pass are seriously depleted, and now only half of them are left, and more importantly, the coalition army of the princes outside the Pass will attack the Tiger Prison Pass again after resting for two days!

"Xu Rong, how is this good, Tongguan has not been taken for the time being, but the Tiger Prison Pass will not be broken soon. And before I get the foundation of Liangzhou, I can't lose Luoyang! Dong Zhuo's brows furrowed even deeper!

"Lord, there is no way at the moment, you should be safe! He also asked the lord to lead the troops to support the Tiger Prison Pass, to expel the rebels of the princes, and lead the troops to capture Chang'an and Liangzhou! ”

Xu Rong suggested.

"But if I lead the troops to leave, how will the Tiger Prison Pass be guarded, and if Liu Bei comes back from the counterattack, what should I do? Also, what if the Liangzhou Qiang soldiers rebel again! ”

"Lord, this time we can lead the Liangzhou Qiang soldiers to rush to the aid of the Tiger Pass, although we have no way, but the military will definitely have a way.

Moreover, Liu Bei's army in Tongguan will no longer be able to attack Hangu Pass in the short term, so Hangu Pass is safe for the time being! Xu Rong analyzed.

"In this way, I will lead 30,000 Qiang troops and 20,000 elites to rush to the aid of Tiger Prison Pass, but Hangu Pass is hard for you."

The next day, Dong Zhuo led 50,000 troops to the Tiger Pass, although the Qiang soldiers were extremely unwilling.

But under Dong Zhuo's favorable coercion, he still obediently followed Dong Zhuo on the expedition.

Besides, after Dong Zhuo set out on the expedition, Xu Rong held on to Hangu Pass and never sent troops to attack Tongguan.

In Tongguan, Jia Xulu Bu and others saw that there was no army attacking Tongguan for two consecutive days, in addition to being happy, they also had some worries.

I was afraid that Dong Zhuo was playing some tricks, so it was not a problem to assign scouts to investigate, and it was not until ten days later that Jia Xu received Zhong Xuan's letter, and he knew that Dong Zhuo led the army to help Tiger Prison!

After that, less than 50,000 troops in the entire Tongguan trained day and night! In the past ten days, Xun You has already recruited the 50,000 troops stipulated by Liu Bei and sent them to Tongguan!

And outside the Tiger Prison Pass, in the Allied camp!

Due to Yuan Shu's reasons, the entire alliance of the princes did not pass through the Tiger Prison for three consecutive days.

Yuan Shao also had a headache for a while because of this matter, and finally Cheng Yu offered a plan, saying that he would redistribute and adjust the offensive grouping.

Divide the princes with few soldiers and the princes with many soldiers into one group to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, and then divide them into three groups again.

In this way, the number of soldiers who attacked the Tiger Prison Pass every day was the same, and the princes had nothing to say!

At the same time, when attacking every day, the offensive tasks shared are also different due to the different soldiers!

After this plan, coupled with Yuan Shao's secret promise that Yuan Shu would stay until the Tiger Prison Pass was captured, and the captured prisoners would be given priority to Yuan Shu as soldiers, this time the matter came to an end.

Then the Allies again besieged Tiger Prison Day and Night. Li Ru knew in the Tiger Prison Pass that although the previous plan had been broken by the coalition forces, the seeds of infighting among the coalition forces had been planted.

Next, as long as the coalition forces can't see hope, the alliance of princes will naturally dissolve, and once the alliance of princes is dissolved, Dong Zhuo will be able to break it individually!

And the thing that made the alliance of princes unable to see hope was Dong Zhuo's reinforcements, and now there are more than 60,000 troops in the Tiger Prison Pass.

As long as the princes' alliance knows that there are 200,000 troops in the pass, the princes' alliance will be desperate, and at that time, Dong Zhuo will have a chance!

And as the messenger sent by Li Ru returned to the Tiger Prison Pass, Li Ru got the information he had dreamed of.

Dong Zhuo defeated Liu Bei and led 50,000 reinforcements to support Tiger Pass!

Besides, Liu Bei took Chen Gong, Zhao Yun and others all the way to Sanguan without stopping, and now there are only 15,000 soldiers under the command of Ma Teng in Sanguan.

However, Zhang Liao had already led 10,000 Shence troops to Longxi to encircle and suppress the Xiqiang rebels.

"Shoucheng, how is the situation in Liangzhou?" Liu Bei asked as soon as he dispersed!

"Lord, the Qiang rebellion, Wen Yuan and I found out earlier, so the current rebellion mainly occurs in the three counties of Longxi, Jincheng and Tianshui.

It's just that because Wenyuan has few soldiers, he failed to defeat the Qiang rebellion, and can only stalemate with the Qiang people. Ma Teng introduced.

"Lord, since this is the case, the lord can immediately go to Longxi to join General Zhang, and then wait for reinforcements from the Western Regions." Chen Gong listened to the suggestion.

"It's just that the current customs are not very peaceful, and it will be difficult for a few of you to reach Wenyuan!" Ma Teng said worriedly.

"At this time, although there was no rebellion outside the Guan, due to the rebellion of the Qiang people, there were many bandits on the ground in Liangzhou, so it was not safe."

"Lord, it's just a bandit, the lord only needs to extract five thousand troops from Sanguan to join General Zhang." Chen Gong said confidently!

"But the defense of Sanguan was not strong in the first place, and now I am leading the 5,000 army to leave, how can the entire Sanguan be defended?" Liu Bei hesitated.

"The lord has no worries, although there are only 10,000 troops in Sanguan, as long as the lord resists the Qiang rebels, there is no need to worry about the safety of Sanguan!

As for the scattered bandits, they will not dare to attack Sanguan, but Sanguan also needs a brave, resourceful and combat-effective general to guard the lord, so there will be no more problems! Chen Gong suggested.

"In this way, I will transfer 5,000 elites to go with me on the expedition, and then the entire Sanguan will be guarded by Zhao Yun and Ma Teng, Zhao Yun will be the main general, and Ma Teng will be the deputy general!"

Liu Bei thought about it for a while, and felt that what Chen Gong said was reasonable, so he decided that the next day, Liu Bei would lead an army of 5,000 to Longxi!
