In front of the Tiger Prison Pass, the three heroes fought against Lü Bu, and staged a wonderful, blood-boiling and hearty battle for the princes of Kwantung, which finally ended with Lü Bu's defeat and escape.

Because of this battle, the princes of the world had to look at Liu Bei, an originally unknown county magistrate, and treat them differently. Liu Bei's status also rose, and it can be said that he was in the limelight for a while.

After Lu Bu escaped, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang naturally refused to let Lu Bu go, although Liu Bei had the idea to let Lu Bu go, but Guan Yu? Zhang Fei and the others were bent on killing Lu Bu, so that Liu Bei didn't dare to show that he didn't want to kill Lu Bu, and the three of them rushed all the way to the Tiger Prison.

Zhang Fei saw that he couldn't catch up with Lu Bu, and saw that the west wind was blowing a Qingluo umbrella cover on the tiger prison, and under the umbrella cover, a bloated and fat Kansai man was dressed in luxury, and there were many civil and military generals behind him, which was Dong Zhuo Dong Zhongying, the prime minister of the dynasty.

Zhang Fei pointed at the man and shouted, "This person must be Dong Zhuo!" What's the use of chasing that Lu Bu? It's better to go directly to the gate, capture the Dong thief first, and cut the grass and eradicate the roots! With that, he slapped the horse and went straight to the gate, preparing to capture Dong Zhuo.

Cao Cao, who was in the rear, saw this scene and said to Yuan Shao: "Alliance leader, if Lu Bu is defeated, Dong Zhuo's army will inevitably be disheartened. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Shao also knew that this time was a rare opportunity, so he immediately ordered: "The whole army will attack, take the Tiger Prison Pass, and capture Dong Zhuo." ”

More than 100,000 troops attacked at the same time, rushing towards the Tiger Prison Pass like a tide, shouting to the sky, and the scene was spectacular. At this time, Zhang Fei had already rushed to the Tiger Prison Pass, Dong Zhuo was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly release the arrows, close the city gate, and don't let the enemy come in!" ”

For a while, closing the arrow stone was like rain, Zhang Fei waved his spear and kept blocking the arrow stone, and he couldn't advance an inch, so he had no choice but to withdraw. More than 100,000 allied troops rushed over, and all the Dong Zhuo soldiers who had not had time to enter the city were killed by the coalition forces, at least more than 3,000 people.

The allies tasted victory, and their morale was high for a while, and they shouted to forcibly attack the city gate of the Tiger Prison Pass, but the Tiger Prison Pass, as the gateway to Luoyang, is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the morale of Dong Zhuo's army is low, if the Allies continue to exert pressure, it is very likely that the city will be captured for a long time, but this loss is also immeasurable.

"Collect the troops!" Yuan Shao saw that the army in front of him could not capture the Tiger Pass, and ordered the army to retreat.

Cao Cao frowned, and asked very puzzled: "Alliance Leader, this is our best attack, if we don't attack the Tiger Prison Pass at this time, let alone when, why did the Alliance Leader order the withdrawal of the army?" ”

Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Today's battle, our army won a complete victory, the tiger prison is the first male pass in the world, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Meng De also saw it, the loss of our strong attack is too great, and the army is tired, so it is probably useless to attack in this way, it is better to withdraw the troops first, and fight again in the future." ”

Cao Cao snorted angrily and looked at Yuan Shao with a contemptuous look, feeling very angry in his heart, but since Yuan Shao had ordered the withdrawal of troops, he had no choice.

After the army withdrew, Liu Guan and Zhang laughed, and returned to Liu Yu's back with joy, Liu Yu also praised Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's bravery, and the two also had a good impression of Liu Yu, and they even talked and laughed.

Liu Yu couldn't help but think, didn't he help Liu Bei before just to see the demeanor of the Three Heroes Battle against Lu Bu? Now that he has seen this scene, it also makes Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have a good impression of him, and Liu Yu actually thinks that all this is also good.

It stands to reason that Liu Yu wants to dominate the world in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei, a careerist, is also one of the fierce opponents, and it is really incomprehensible to help him instead of suppressing him. However, Liu Yu is very confident and is not afraid of Liu Bei, and Liu Yu's future struggle for world dominance will also start from the north, at this time to help Liu Bei, and let Liu Bei contain Jiangdong Sun and Cao Cao in the south in the future It is not a bad idea.

After all, if Liu Bei was not in the south, the expansion of the Sun family in Jiangdong would be unstoppable, and with Liu Bei's containment, at least the land of Jingxiang could exist for a long time, so that it would not fall into the Sun family too early.

This night, the allies celebrated today's victory, but Liu Yu returned to his camp early, Dong Zhuo could not be captured, and the fifteenth route coalition army would eventually be disbanded, all of which Liu Yu could not change, and he did not want to change, after all, Liu Yu was now far away in Liaodong, and the more chaotic the Central Plains, the more beneficial it would be for him, if Dong Zhuo was killed at this time, the world would be uncontrollable, which Liu Yu did not want to see.

According to history, after Dong Zhuo's defeat this time, Luoyang will be burned and the capital will be moved to Chang'an, and the coalition army will be disbanded in a short time. For attacking Dong Zhuo, Liu Yu didn't want to take any further action, and now he had only one action - to recruit talents.

At this time, the major princes are still in their infancy, take Cao Cao as an example, at this time, in addition to a few people from the Xiahou family and the Cao family, there are only a few people such as Li Dian and Le Jin, and the talents have not been attached, Liu Yu took advantage of this opportunity to ask for Dong is also one of the princes who are famous in the world, and his fame is naturally soaring, and Liu Yu knows that Dong Zhuo cannot be killed, and he has to come to participate in the Dong Alliance, which is precisely to improve his fame, and at the same time to enhance his fame, but also to recruit talents for his own use in the Central Plains.

Liu Yu selected more than a dozen people from his subordinates, and Tian Yu was in charge of them, and went to various states and counties to recruit talents for his own use. In addition, Liu Yu wrote many handwritten letters based on his own memories to recruit those talents that Liu Yu knew. Among them are Beihai Sun Qiansun Gongyou, Hejian Xing Hao Xing Ziang, Runan Wei Yanwei Wenchang, Jingzhou Nanyang County Guo Youzhi, Huang Zhong Huang Hansheng, Wen Ping Wen Zhongye, Le'an Guoyuan Guozini and others, these people are either idle at home, or cannot be reused.

Of course, Liu Yu wrote more than these few people, after all, Liu Yu knew that these people might not necessarily be able to find any talents when they went out, and the people he knew were famous figures at least during the Three Kingdoms period, so what is such a person who is not a talent? In Liu Yu's view, there are still many people who have the opportunity to recruit themselves, and Liu Yu, as one of the forces participating in the discussion of Dong, is no longer comparable to the obscure Liaodong Taishou in terms of reputation.

In addition to sending people to recruit talents, Liu Yu also sent people to secretly detour into Luoyang City from other places, and visited many officials in the court who resented Dong Zhuo in the name of his father Liu Yu, telling them that Dong Zhuo would move the capital to Chang'an, if they were unwilling to join Dong Zhuo, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu was also a good place for them, of course, Liu Yu did not report any hope for this move, he didn't think that these people were really willing to let go of their wealth and wealth, and let go of their status as court officials to go to such a barren place as Youzhou.

Since the last time Sun Jian was in front of Bishui Pass, because he could not get Yuan Shu's grain and grass, resulting in a lack of food in the army, the army's morale was discouraged, and he was attacked by Huaxiong at night and lost his general Zu Mao, he has been sullen and unhappy, living outside Bishui Pass, unwilling to fight with other princes.

On this day, in Sun Jian's military tent, Cheng Pu said to Sun Jian: "Lord, now that Yuan Shao and others have defeated Lu Bu at the conference in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, and now they have sent an order for me to attack, what should we do?" ”

Sun Jian's face was cloudy, and he didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he spoke: "Our alliance this time was originally to crusade against Dong Zhuo, although Yuan Shu did not have food and grass with us, causing us to lose the battle, we just need to find Yuan Shu to calculate this account, and we still have to listen to the orders of the alliance leader." ”

Yellow cover. Han Dang also said: "Yuan Shu dog thief, we worked hard for their Yuan family, but he only cared about being jealous of others' meritorious service and doing something despicable, lord, let's go to him to settle accounts." ”
