At the beginning of the next morning, the drum beat in the heavens and the earth.

Knock knock knock...... Knock knock knock......

Dozens of sturdy men waved their arms, drumsticks raining down on the cowhide drums, and the breeze carried farther away.

Yuan Shao climbed the high platform, raised his eyes, and saw a black oppression, countless soldiers of the three armies.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Yuan gathered you here today because of something important."

Yuan Shao looked down, his voice loud.

"The whole country knows that Dong Zhuo - bullying the king and acting perversely, mutilating the loyal and good, is a national thief, so we are a righteous teacher and a thief! And then—"

Yuan Shao's voice changed, and there was a little dissatisfaction in his excited voice: "Wait, we have been storming the Tiger Prison Pass for more than a month, and our troops are several times that of Dong Zhuo, but we still can't overcome the pass, why not?" ”

The soldiers listened quietly, but no one responded.

Some princes knew it in their hearts, but they didn't say it, and it would only be a shame to say it.

"Afraid of Lu Bu, afraid of danger, everyone is unwilling to fight to the death!"

Yuan Shao obviously had a trace of anger when he said this, and the princes under his account only cared about their own interests, for fear that too many casualties would weaken their own strength, and they refused to fight to the death.

If it weren't for that, the Tiger Prison would have been in the bag.

Throughout the ages, the victory of war has always been based on the heroic souls of countless soldiers and the blood of their heads.

If you want to take the Tiger Prison Pass bloodlessly, it is impossible at all.

Yuan Shao took a breath and said loudly: "I want to follow the actions of the overlord of Western Chu, break the cauldron and sink the boat, leaving only three days of grain and grass." Three days later, if we can't overcome the Tiger Prison, I will burn all the grain and grass! ”

Yuan Shao's face was resolute, and everyone below was in an uproar when they heard about it.

If you burn the grain, what will you eat in the future?

"As the leader of the alliance, I was entrusted with important responsibilities by everyone, but I have been repeatedly defeated in the tiger prison, and I cannot escape the blame. This time I will also personally lead the army to charge, if unfortunately killed, please take the day of the Tiger Pass, pour me a bowl of hot wine, I Yuan Benchu Huangquan Road and drink it! ”

The words were passionate, and everyone present was moved.

Yuan Shao has always been a capable person, but he has some flaws in his personal character, he listens to and believes partially, is indecisive, and lacks a trace of courage.

Now that he has been cornered, he also has the consciousness and belief to fight to the death.

After Yuan Shao's words were finished, Cao Cao below followed the rhythm, raised his fist high, and shouted loudly: "Swear to kill the thief!" ”

The Xiahou brothers beside him, as well as Li Dianle Jin and other soldiers, also waved their fists and shouted: "Swear to kill the thief!" ”

"Swear to kill the thief!"

"Swear to kill the thief!"

The soldiers below roared loudly, Yuan Shao's speech aroused the blood in their chests, the alliance leaders all went into battle in person, what reason did they have to fight not to the death!

Yuan Shao was also infected by the emotions of the soldiers at this moment, and pulled out the sword on his waist with a 'bang', pointed in the direction of the Tiger Prison Pass, and was decisive: "The goal - the Tiger Prison Pass!" Go! ”

"Roar!"

Hundreds of thousands of troops rushed to the Tiger Prison.

…………

On that day, the wind and sand were fierce.

Under the leadership of Yuan Shao, countless sons rushed to the head of the city, and the fallen soldiers changed wave after wave, and the corpses of the fortress filled the ditch below.

The moment the siege was launched, the overwhelming sound of killing was like a wave, sweeping across the earth and rushing into the sky.

Dozens of ladders came slowly, and arrows rained down on the city.

The tragic attack lasted from morning to dusk, and the sound of Mingjin could be heard.

The coalition forces receded like a tide under the oblique light of the setting sun.

The defenders at the head of the city had the joy of the aftermath on their faces, but at the same time they had greater worries in their hearts.

Today is kept, but tomorrow?

Li Dao couldn't hold the knife anymore, and his hands trembled violently. After a whole day of fierce fighting, he exhausted all the strength in his body, and he was extremely tired, and sat on the ground with his back against the wall, where he kept muttering to himself: "These people are crazy, they are crazy......"

Nearly in the evening, Dong Zhuo summoned all the generals under his command and announced a great news.

"Just now that the Taishi got the information, Niu Fu led the iron cavalry to attack the sour jujube camp of the Kwantung thieves and burned all their grain and grass. You only need to hold on for another two or three days, and when the Kanto thieves run out of food, they will retreat without a fight! ”

Dong Zhuo laughed, he was so happy that he ignored the fact that Lu Bu did not return.

When the generals heard this, their tired faces finally had a smile, as if they had found a new light in the darkness.

They also finally understood why the soldiers of the coalition army rushed to the city pass without their lives, it turned out that they wanted to break the cauldron and fight to the death.

Now that they have seen the opponent's hole cards clearly, as long as they persevere, this battle should end with their victory.

At this time, a soldier outside the tent came in, clenched his fists and reported to Dong Zhuoyu: "Taishi, Li Shangshu is here." ”

Li Ru?

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but wonder a little, he didn't stay in Luoyang, what did he do here with me? But it's good that I finally have someone to discuss a solution.

Dong Zhuo ordered the soldiers to invite Li Ru in.

However, the people who came in shocked the generals in the tent, their hair was unkempt, their faces were covered with dirt, their clothes were tattered, and they had lost one of their shoes, like refugees fleeing.

This...... Is it still the same Strategist Li they knew?

"Son-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Li Ru's bleak appearance, Dong Zhuo had a very bad premonition in his heart.

"Lord, Luoyang - lost!"

When he said this, Li Ru gritted his teeth and looked down to see his expression clearly. Unwillingness, chagrin, remorse...... All sorts of emotions came flooding up in an instant.

Most of all, shame!

As the chief strategist under Dong Zhuo, Li Ru has always been conceited, asking himself that his strategy and methods are not inferior to anyone, but he didn't expect to be played around by a reckless man, how can he bear it!

"Isn't Luoyang in charge of you? How could you lose it! Dong Zhuo was also anxious, the importance of Luoyang to him was tantamount to the sour jujube camp of the Kwantung princes.

"Lord, you and I have both fallen for Lu Bu's plan!"

Li Ru felt humiliated and told Dong Zhuo that Lu Bu had seized Luoyang from him.

When Dong Zhuochu heard this, he categorically didn't believe it.

After all, he treated Lu Bu very well before, and Lu Bu also helped him defeat the heroes and generals outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and returned injured. Later, he volunteered to ask for orders to attack the grain and grass camp of the princes, and it was only a few days before and after, how could he have time to attack Luoyang!

Seeing that Dong Zhuo didn't believe it, Li Ru talked bitterly about Lu Bu's series of plans for him, the obsessed lord.

He told Dong Zhuo that when he returned to Luoyang from Lu Bu, he was already starting to lay out.

He deliberately exposed the flaws of his family's wives and daughters, just to reassure himself and others, thinking that he could force him to comply.

In fact, Lu Bu is using this to cover himself up, so as to hide from the world.

He deceived the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, Dong Zhuo and himself, and the people of the world.

Then, taking advantage of the stalemate between the two sides in the Tiger Pass, he took advantage of Dong Zhuo's trust to open the Mengjin Pass with Fu Jie, and let his Bingzhou army enter the pass and go all the way south.

Then, the inside and the outside should join forces and seize Luoyang City.

After listening to these detailed analyses, Dong Zhuo finally believed Li Ru, and at the same time scolded angrily: "Shaft, the old man values you so much, you actually do such a thing of revenge and wolf heart, it is really hateful!" Hateful!!! ”

After scolding, Dong Zhuo's face changed abruptly, asking people to quickly put on his armor, and muttered: "No, I want to go back to Luoyang!" ”

His wife and granddaughter are all in Luoyang City.
