Hanzhong gradually settled, and the Central Plains region rose again.

It was May, Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao sent 30,000 troops, and then asked Dong Zhuo, and the world was shocked.

Compared with last year's gathering response, this time, the princes from all over the country have obviously learned a lot wiser, and they support Yuan Shao, but no one has sent troops to meet with him, and they have probed to look forward.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao didn't want to count on them, since he liked to watch it, then watch it. He crossed Hanoi with 30,000 Hebei soldiers, crossed the river into Chenliu County, and then walked west, approaching Luoyang.

If you want to enter Luoyang, Tiger Prison Pass is a must-pass place.

Revisiting the old place, Yuan Shao sighed a lot.

He looked at the head of the city, this Xiongguan, known as the "first pass in the world", was still in danger, but the blood-stained city wall left here in the past had already been washed away by the rain.

At the head of the city, a tall man in armor leaned against the wall and looked down, his eyes solemn and deep.

Tiger Prison Guard, Xu Rong!

"Xu Rong, I haven't seen you for a year, don't come unharmed?" Yuan Shao greeted him under the city, although Xu Rong led the army to defeat the Dong Allied army in the fierce battle of the Tiger Prison Pass, but this did not prevent Yuan Shao from having a good impression of Xu Rong.

This person has the talent of a general.

"Thanks to General Yuan's thoughts, Xu Rong is very good." At the head of the city, Xu Rong replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Yuan Shao had the intention of surrendering Xu Rong in his heart, walked a few steps before patting the horse, stood at the bottom of the city pass, and persuaded loudly: "Xu Rong, as long as you are willing to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, open the city and let me enter the customs." In the past, in the name of Jizhou Mu, I promise you that I will make the court not to blame for the past. ”

Xu Rong in the city was unmoved, shaved his eyebrows, and asked in a loud voice: "Yuan Jizhou, have you forgotten that your arm hurt that day?" ”

In the decisive battle of Tiger Prison Pass last year, Yuan Shao led the army to charge, and during the siege of the city, he was cut off by Xu Rong's right arm and almost died in the hands of Xu Rong.

At this time, Yuan Shao had the demeanor of a hero after all, and the two armies fought for their own masters, and he did not blame Xu Rong for almost killing himself.

"Dong Zhuo's jackal, brutal and unkind, why are you still obsessed!"

"Dong Zhuo is a jackal, and you, Yuan Benchu, am not afraid that he is not a good person, right?" Xu Rong sneered, "At the beginning, Han Wenjie kindly gave you the position of Jizhou Mu, but you instigated someone to kill his son and forced Han Fu away. He fled to Chenliu, but you still refused to let him go, and forced him to kill himself. ”

Yuan Shao was speechless for a moment, with a wry smile on his face, he was purely behind the blame for these two things.

When he first ascended to Jizhou, Yuan Shao appointed Zhu Han, a native of Hanoi, as the capital official.

Zhu Han was once despised by Han Fu, and after being promoted by Yuan Shao, he wanted to cater to Yuan Shao's wishes, so he sent troops to surround Han Fu's residence without authorization, and drew his sword to enter the house. Han Fu fled upstairs, and Zhu Han captured Han Fu's eldest son, broke his two feet, and killed him in public.

When Yuan Shao heard about this, he was shocked and angry, before he Jizhou Mu's ass sat firmly, Zhu Han made such a big move for him.

Yuan Shao scolded Zhu Han for being stupid, and immediately sent someone to arrest Zhu Han and put him to death to calm the anger of the public.

For the next period of time, Han Fu was in a state of panic, looking at everyone like a killer who wanted his life.

In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore and asked Yuan Shao to let him go, Yuan Shao agreed, so Han Fu went to Chen Liujun Taishou Zhang Miao.

Later, Yuan Shao sent an envoy to meet Zhang Miao, and when he discussed the secret, the envoy whispered in Zhang Miao's ear. Han Fu was present at the time, thinking that he was calculating himself. After a while, he got up and went to the toilet, and because he couldn't bear the psychological pressure, he committed suicide with a book knife that scraped Jane.

These two things, no matter how Yuan Shao denied the explanation, no one wanted to believe them from beginning to end, and they were deeply criticized by the world.

Yuan Shao didn't bother to explain slowly, and when the bucks were in the Central Plains in the future, people would naturally gradually forget about it, praising him Yuan Shao as the pillar of the humerus of the Han Dynasty.

Unable to convince Xu Rong, Yuan Shao also lost his patience and left a sentence: "I'll give you three days to think, and after three days, I won't open the city and surrender, don't blame me for not being merciful." ”

After saying that, he turned his horse back and led the army away.

Back at the camp, Yan Liang, who was a general under Yuan Shao, had angry eyes and asked very unwillingly: "Lord, why didn't you let me lead the army to attack the city, you see what kind of arrogance the surnamed Xu has become!" How can I put you in my eyes! ”

"General Yan, don't worry, I heard the lord say before that Xu Rong is a rare general, and if he attacks rashly, our army may not be able to bargain." As the commander of this march, he exhorted Yan Liang and told him about the geographical situation of the Tiger Pass, and it was the best policy to outwit him.

"Frustration is right, the Tiger Prison Pass is already difficult to attack, and at this moment, Xu Rong is guarding it, like a tiger in the mountains and forests, instead of attacking it, it is better to find a way to outwit it."

After speaking, Yuan Shao looked at Yan Liang and said with high hopes: "As my arm, you will have to be alone sooner or later in the future, I hope you will not only be reckless in the future, but use your brains more in everything." ”

Yan Liang, a reckless martial artist, is not as happy and angry as the superiors, when he heard that the lord valued himself so much, his face was already excited, and he hugged his fists and replied loudly: "The last general will definitely study hard and will never live up to the high expectations of the lord." ”

Yan Liang's reaction was expected by Yuan Shao, he let out a slight "um", nodded and said, "Take advantage of this accompaniment, you can ask for advice and learn more when you have time." ”

Yan Liang agreed happily, and then he thought of a question, he couldn't hide the goods in his stomach, and he asked again: "If Xu Rong still refuses to surrender three days later, what should we do?" ”

Yuan Shao and Fu Zhu glanced at each other, and Fu Zhu said for Yan Liang: "Then there is General Lao Yan, who will go to fight every day." ”

Yan Liang responded with a full mouth, and said confidently:

"Frustrated, I may not be as good as you when I use my brain, but if you want to say that this is a heads-up fight, in addition to Wen Chou, Lu Bu can suppress me a little."

Now, everyone in the world knows that Lu Bu has broken away from Dong Zhuo's camp.

Among the generals under Dong Zhuo, Yan Liang is no longer afraid of anyone.

Seeing that Yan Liang was full of confidence, he was also happy in his heart.

Through the open tent door, Yuan Shao looked to the southeast and muttered in a low voice: "Meng De, you should arrive at Yuyi Pass, and then, it's up to you." ”

As one of the eight passes in Luoyang, Yuyuan Pass is the gateway to its southeast, located on the Yuyuan Mountain at the junction of Yanshi and Dengfeng and Gongyi, and is the shortcut to Xu and Chen in Luoyang. The pass is Elingban, between Taimur Mountain and Shaomu Mountain, the road is dangerous, there are 12 curves, the loop is circling, it will go to return, so it is called Yuyuan Pass.

On this day, a well-equipped team rushed to the foot of the mountain.

In the dense forest, a sturdy figure rushed out, walked up to the leading general, and reported in a low voice: "Meng De, the sentries under the mountain have all been solved, and there is not a single fish that has slipped through the net." ”

Cao Cao, who was wearing light armor, nodded, and glanced at Xiahoudun approvingly.

Getting off the horse, Cao Cao looked at the mountain, turned his head and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "All sons, and follow Cao - climb the mountain and rush the pass!" ”
