Chapter 229: The Coalition Army Siege the City

Outside the Tiger Prison Pass, in the camp of the princes' coalition army.

Yuan Shao looked at the secret letter in his hand, his brows tightened, this secret letter was quietly sent by Lu Bu, the letter told everyone that Dong Zhuo wanted to move the capital to Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo had assassinated and killed Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong, and was about to retreat to Chang'an with the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials.

"Everyone is talking about whether this news is reliable or not, what should we do?" Yuan Shao said in a deep voice after showing the secret letter to everyone.

"Alliance leader, I don't think Lu Bu can lie to us, he must have had a conflict with Dong Zhuo and wants to get rid of Dong Zhuo with our hands!" Ma Teng said in a deep voice.

"Now that Tiger Prison Pass and Hangu Pass are about to be taken, then will we pursue Dong Zhuo or attack Luoyang!" asked Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, with a frown.

"This still needs to be asked, it must be to pursue Dong Zhuo, this rebellious minister and thief not only caused chaos in the dynasty, slaughtered our relatives in Luoyang, but also forcibly plundered the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, and poisoned King Hongnong, aren't we going to crusade against Dong Zhuo this time? How can we let this traitor escape!" Cao Cao said to everyone with a stern face.

"Yes, I agree with Brother Meng De's words, now our primary goal is to rescue the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials first, and we must not let the Son of Heaven fall into the hands of Dong Zhuo, the devil, again!" Liu Bei said with a solemn face.

"Hmph, can you just let Luoyang fall into the hands of that Lu Bu Pifu? What virtue does he have? How dare he occupy the imperial capital Luoyang!" Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yu categorically objected.

......

Looking at the arguing crowd, Yuan Shao's brows furrowed even tighter, he was now the most powerful and prestigious, and he couldn't help but want to occupy Luoyang, but Dong Zhuo was his father-killing enemy, and the other party not only took away the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, but also carried a large amount of wealth plundered in Luoyang, which made Yuan Shao extremely red.

"It's better to do this, our troops are divided into two ways, everyone will choose for themselves, who is going to pursue Dong Zhuo? Who is going to attack Luoyang?" Yuan Shao thought for a while, then looked at everyone and said.

"Xuande is willing to go after Dong Zhuo!" Liu Bei immediately surrendered.

After he is a relative of the emperor, how can he watch the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials being plundered by Dong Zhuo, so he can only choose to pursue Dong Zhuo, more importantly, he is short of money and food, the foundation is too thin, and he is also extremely jealous of the huge wealth that Dong Zhuo plundered, as long as he can intercept a little, it is enough for him to develop his own power!

"I, Cao Mengde, am willing to go after Dong Zhuo's traitor!" Cao Cao said to Yuan Shao.

"My Gongsun Chan is also willing to pursue Dong Zhuo!" said Gongsun Chan.

"I do, too!"

......

Everyone expressed their willingness to pursue Dong Zhuo, vowing to recapture the Son of Heaven and take Dong Zhuo's head.

After Yuan Shao counted some things, he found that most of the princes were willing to pursue Dong Zhuo, and only a few people wanted to attack Luoyang.

In fact, this is normal, these princes are not stupid, the Luoyang city wall is extremely tall, the defense is extremely strong, when they attacked the Tiger Prison Pass in the past few months, they also fought with the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, almost every time they were defeated, and now there is a strong Luoyang city wall, Lu Bu is almost invincible, how can they ask for hardship?

And Dong Zhuo is different, whether it is rescuing the Son of Heaven or intercepting the huge wealth plundered by Dong Zhuo, it is a good deal, so these princes almost all choose to pursue Dong Zhuo.

I don't know who leaked the news, the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass and Hangu Pass all knew that Dong Zhuo was going to retreat to Chang'an, and for a while the morale of the army was low, and the soldiers had no intention of fighting again.

The army of the princes immediately pursued Dong Zhuo according to the road map provided by Lu Bu, because Dong Zhuo carried too much wealth, although under Li Ru's suggestion, there were almost ambushes along the way, but under the fierce pursuit of the princes' coalition army, Dong Zhuo's main army was still intercepted.

Faced with the temptation of huge wealth, the two sides fought a tragic battle on a plain, Dong Zhuo's army was demoralized, and finally failed due to being outnumbered, Dong Zhuo fled with the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials in embarrassment, and even the plundered wealth was lost about half, and the army was lost by more than 200,000.

And the princes' alliance had infighting when they were robbing these wealth, which led to the failure to pursue Dong Zhuo in time, so that the best opportunity was missed, so that Dong Zhuo still fled to Chang'an, and after returning to the base camp in Liangzhou, the princes no longer had the ability to attack Chang'an's natural danger!

However, Cao Cao and Liu Bei led the army to continue the pursuit, but they were ambushed by Li Ru and were defeated by Dong Zhuo's most elite "Flying Bear Army", which led to heavy losses for Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and they were very disappointed in this alliance of princes!

......

Under the city of Luoyang, Yuan Shao led the alliance of princes to look at the tall Luoyang city wall, looking at the heavily guarded defenders, and he also felt very spicy.

After the princes' alliance succeeded in pursuing Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao and others could not break through Chang'an, so they persuaded these princes to attack Luoyang, hoping to take Luoyang, and then find someone from the imperial family to be the puppet emperor.

"Lu Bu, now that we are going to set up a new imperial court in Luoyang and set up a new emperor, what do you mean by closing the city gate?" Yuan Shao looked at Lu Bu and shouted.

"Yuan Benchu, I didn't expect you to be so shameless, and you still want to set up a new emperor and reorganize the imperial court, I have provided you with such a clear route, but you still haven't intercepted the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials! Now you still have the face to be presumptuous with me, when I Lu Bu is so bullied!" Lu Bu stared at Yuan Shao and scolded loudly.

"Lu Bu, this Luoyang is the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, how can you allow you to occupy it privately!" said Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei.

"Lu Bu, since you are so ignorant, don't blame us for being polite!" Yuan Shao said angrily with a calm face.

"Hmph, this Luoyang City is already Benhou's!Wait for the hurry and leave, otherwise I'm not welcome!" Lu Bu said coldly, he finally stopped Dong Zhuo from burning Luoyang, how could he easily give Luoyang to Yuan Shao and the others?

"Why are the eldest brother talking so much with this horseman, let's attack the city directly!" Yuan Shu said to Yuan Shao dissatisfied.

"Okay, let's attack together from the four gates. Yuan Shao said to many princes.

Then Yuan Shao arranged for the princes to attack the city, and in the face of the siege attack of the princes' coalition army, Lu Bu couldn't help but show a sneer, Jia Xu had long expected that the princes would come back to fight for Luoyang, and had already made Lu Bu make all kinds of preparations.

For the alliance of princes, Lu Bu really didn't pay attention to it, with the tallness and solidity of Luoyang City, coupled with the defense of nearly a million troops, Lu Bu was confident enough to hold Luoyang!

The alliance of the princes suffered a lot of losses in the pursuit of Dong Zhuo, but they still had more than two million troops, and under the command of Yuan Shao, they began to launch a fierce attack on Luoyang City.

Luoyang is the imperial capital, the city is particularly rich in various material reserves, especially fire oil, bows and arrows, crossbow arrows and other materials, the princes' coalition army attacked for more than ten days, losing tens of thousands of troops every day, but still did not shake Luoyang City at all.

On the contrary, Lu Bu rushed out with tens of thousands of elite iron cavalry at every turn, which was simply a match, no one could stop him, and after Lu Bu defeated several coalition generals with his strong strength, the morale of the princes' coalition army fell to the extreme for a while.

In the end, it was Liu Bei's three brothers who came forward and fought with Lu Bu.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have seen Lu Bu make a move, and their strength has now reached the peak of the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Realm, especially Guan Yu, whose cultivation has reached the edge of breaking through the Heavenly Phenomena Realm, even with Liu Bei, who has cultivated in the Heavenly and Human Realm, the gap between the strength of the three and Lu Bu is still very large.

Just in order to be famous in the world, in order to allow Guan Yu to break through the realm under Lu Bu's oppression, the three brothers of Liu Bei took a risk and joined forces to fight Lu Bu.

The three of them struggled to support under Lu Bu's fierce attack, and the surrounding heroes all sweated for the three of them, and Cao Cao stared at Guan Yu with shiny eyes, eager to win him over.

Under Lu Bu's oppression, Guan Yu finally broke through to the sixth layer of the Martial Arts Heavenly Realm, and then started a fierce battle with Lu Bu.
