After Liu Dan heard the news that Xu Rong had withdrawn his troops from the Tiger Prison Pass, his face suddenly became even more difficult to look at.

This means that time is really running out for him!

Luoyang City will be burned, Dong Zhuo will move the capital to Chang'an, and the alliance will fall apart after entering the Tiger Prison Pass.

Thinking of this, Liu Dan's head was a little big at this time.

"Time is running out, the third brother organized soldiers and horses to follow me into the Guanqin King!"

"Second brother, You Heng, you two lead 5,000 soldiers and horses back to Jingzhou first."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to Xiangyang, let's see if we are stationed in Fancheng or Xinye first."

When everyone heard Liu Dan arrange this, their faces were all shocked.

"Big brother, aren't we going all out to pursue Dong Zhuo's dog thief?"

Zhang Fei looked at Liu Dan with a puzzled expression and asked.

Guan Yu also waited for Liu Dan's answer with a serious face.

Liu Dan sighed heavily, with a helpless look on his face.

"Dong Zhuo's life should not be extinguished, this time it is destined to be in vain!"

"Let's prepare for both, we can't afford to be overlooked."

After hearing Liu Dan's words, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu immediately nodded and agreed.

On the other side, Cao Cao had already led the army to rush through the Tiger Pass.

But what he never expected was that he had just escaped from the Tiger Prison Pass less than fifty miles before he was ambushed by Xu Rong.

Cao Cao almost died under Xu Rong's ambush, but fortunately his lieutenant Cao Hong gave up his horse to save his life.

Cao Cao's troops suffered heavy losses, but Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others were talking coolly beside them.

Liu Dan led the crowd to just follow everyone to watch the excitement, and never had the intention of taking risks.

Soon, Yuan Shu ordered Sun Jian to lead his army to Luoyang on a detour.

Two days later, Sun Jian became the first coalition general to attack Luoyang.

But at this time, Luoyang had been burned down by Dong Zhuo, and there were ruins everywhere.

Dong Jun took the initiative to withdraw from the Tiger Prison Pass and coerced Emperor Xian to move the capital to Chang'an.

Before leaving, Dong Zhuo ordered the army to burn the city palace, dig up the royal tombs, and plunder the people.

In the end, Luoyang was barren and withered within a radius of 200 miles, and there was no human settlement.

Sun Jian's eyes turned red when he saw this scene, and he almost led his troops to pursue Dong Thief.

But Yuan Shu strictly ordered first, and he was not allowed to cross Luoyang City at all.

In desperation, Sun Jian could only hurriedly order people to clear the road and prepare in advance for the westward advance of the army.

But Sun Jian never expected that two days later, when the soldiers and horses of the princes from all walks of life arrived in Luoyang in turn, Cao Cao was the only one who took the initiative to ask Ying to be the vanguard to chase Dong Zhuo west.

Yuan Shao naturally rejected his suggestion fiercely, and repeatedly emphasized that the army should not be moved lightly.

In desperation, Cao Cao had to ask Liu Dan for help.

After hearing this, Liu Dan was generous, and immediately transferred Zhang Miao and Bao Xin's troops to cooperate with Cao Cao's action.

On the surface, there is nothing wrong with this, but behind the scenes it is very disgusting.

Because Zhang Miao and Bao Xin were originally Cao Cao's hardcore allies, even if Liu Dan didn't speak, they would follow.

Therefore, Liu Dan did not add any helpers to Cao Cao at all.

So the more Cao Cao thought about it, the more depressed he became, but he couldn't say anything wrong.

Cao Cao was a resolute person, and when he saw that everyone had no intention of fighting, he didn't force anything more.

It's just that what he didn't know was that this time he almost folded in Xu Rong's hands again.

Cao Cao led his army to pursue Dong Thief, and as soon as he passed through Michi, Xu Rong led an ambush on three sides.

This time Cao Cao was defeated worse than last time, but fortunately, there was another deputy general Cao Hong who saved his life at a critical time.

After Cao Cao returned to the coalition camp outside Luoyang, he pointed to the noses of the princes from all walks of life and scolded him.

After scolding, Cao Cao angrily led his troops away.

At this time, Sun Jian had quietly fled Luoyang with the jade seal, and soon the coalition army withdrew from the tiger prison and garrisoned in Suozao City.

Three days later, Cao Cao adjusted his mentality and returned to the coalition camp.

Cao Cao put forward his own ideas as soon as he came up.

He suggested that all the princes should have their own important places, and then divide their troops to the west and enter Wuguan to besiege Dong Zhuo.

However, his suggestion was not recognized, and many people were still angry at Cao Cao's insults a few days ago!

Cao Cao saw that all the princes had their own ghosts, and they were all waiting for an opportunity to develop their own power in the name of courting Dong.

In desperation, Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin led the army to withdraw from the coalition army.

Later, Liu Dan led the army back to Jingzhou, and then there was friction between other princes and fought with each other.

The coalition was disbanded.

Before the forbidden army Tiger Prison Pass, Guan Yu and You Heng had already led the leading troops back to Jingzhou.

However, Fancheng has been garrisoned by an army led by Liu Pan and Zhang Yun.

The two of them led these thousands of soldiers and horses, and they could not carry out such a big battle as a siege.

In desperation, Guan and You can only march to Xinye County.

The Xinye garrison only had more than 1,000 people, and Guan Yu took the county seat in only half an hour.

You Heng sent someone to send a letter to Liu Dan as soon as possible, and since then, the base camp of Liu Dan and others has been temporarily set in Xinye City.

In Xinye City, Liu Dan is sitting at the head of the city and playing tea with Youheng.

"Is there any news from Sun Jian?"

After Liu Dan gently put down a white chess piece, he looked up at You Heng and asked slowly.

You Heng said with a smile when he heard this.

"I just received the news in the morning, he has followed Yuan Shu back to Nanyang."

"It is said that it is stationed in the area of Lushan, and we are still some distance away......

"Why did the lord remember to ask about him?"

You Heng looked at Liu Dan with a puzzled look on his face for a while, and then slowly put down a black chess.

Liu Dan picked up a white chess piece in his right hand, and his eyes exuded a faint yearning.

"Yuan Shu is just a soil dog, what we really need to worry about is Sun Jian, the tiger who crossed the river!"

You Heng saw the brilliance in Liu Dan's eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"Does the lord have the heart to accept him?"

Liu Dan sighed softly, and then placed the white chess pieces on the chessboard.

"Tigers will be rare, it's impossible to say that you don't want to......"

"It's just that this tiger also hurts people, and I'm afraid that if you're not careful, you will lose more than you gain."

After saying this, Liu Dan got up directly and looked out of the city.

You Heng lowered his head at this time, but he was looking at the chessboard in a daze.

"Huh?"

"What kind of chess move is this, lord?"

"Why are there so many five-son lines?"

It turned out that Liu Dan played Go as a backgammon again, which made You Heng look confused.

Liu Dan ignored You Heng's words, but stared at the person in front of the city with his eyes like a torch.

I saw a man standing twenty paces away from the city gate.

At this time, he was wearing a gray and white robe, a shabby hat, and a simple long sword in his right hand.

This look doesn't look like an ordinary person!

Thinking of this, Liu Dan shouted directly at the man.

"Hey, that strong man over there!"

"Would you like to come to Xinye to join the army?"

"We have good food and good treatment here!"

"Think about it?"

After Liu Dan shouted these words, the man was directly stunned on the ground.

Is the imperial court recruiting troops so straightforward now?

However, Liu Dan's voice also made the man interested.

"It's not impossible to join the army!"

"As long as you can win this broken sword in my hand!"

After saying this, the man directly drew his sword and played a trick.

Seeing this, Liu Dan suddenly became interested.

So he pointed at the man and shouted.

"You stand there for me, and the master will go down!"

After saying this, Liu Dan ran downstairs like a gust of wind.

It didn't take long for Liu Dan, who was holding a long sword, to stand in front of that person.

"In Xia Liu Dan, I don't know the name of the strong man!"

The man smiled coldly when he heard this, and looked at Liu Dan with cold eyes and replied.

"Wait until you defeat my broken sword!"

When the words fell, the mutilated bronze sword in his hand stabbed at Liu Dan's heart quickly.
