All the ministers were overjoyed when they heard that the princes outside the pass were coming to attack Dong Zhuo. They wished that these princes would invade Luoyang and cut Dong Zhuo into pieces. How could anyone be willing to guard Hulao Pass for Dong Zhuo? Well, Dong Zhuo will be relieved?

Seeing that none of these ministers said anything, Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, look at these ministers. None of them are willing to protect you. They are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. When it comes to critical occasions, none of them can be relied on. The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty belong to me. Dong Zhuo is loyal. To protect the emperor, I am Fei I did my best."

"Your majesty, and your uncle, Liu Xuande, the reason why the rebels gathered together this time is because of your uncle. There is a traitor in your Liu family, and your own family is beating your own family!"

"Thinking of me, Dong Zhuo, I am quite old, carrying the infamy of the whole world, working hard, what am I planning?"

Seeing Dong Zhuo boasting all by himself, everyone felt nauseous, especially the emperor, looking at Dong Zhuo's fat face, he wished he could chop it off with a knife.

When he heard that Uncle Liu Huang summoned an army to attack Dong Zhuo, the emperor was very excited, and kept fantasizing about Liu Bei's army entering Luoyang, killing Dong Zhuo, and saving himself from the dire situation.

"Lu Bu, these ministers are unreliable. We have to protect the emperor, right? Even if we are scolded by others, we still have to take on the important task of supporting the Han Dynasty, right?"

"Your Majesty, I'm about to go to the battlefield. I suggest that the Emperor canonize me as prime minister, Lu Bu as general, and everyone else be promoted to three ranks, so that we can kill thieves with peace of mind, don't you think?"

When everyone heard this, they were all furious. Dong Zhuo has been in Luoyang for a month, and he has been promoted from the prefect of Xiliang to an unknown number of levels, and he wants it every time. Now he wants to reach the sky and become the prime minister.

But at this moment, no one dared to speak out against it. The emperor looked left and right. It's not easy not to cry, so how dare you refute Dong Zhuo!
In this way, Dong Zhuo happily got the post of prime minister he had dreamed of, and even all the people under his command were promoted to rank.

"Fengxian, this bandit army is coming in a menacing way. We have received the emperor's reward, so we have to protect the emperor's safety. Do you dare to bring a large army to meet this bandit army?"

Just as Lu Bu was about to accept the order, he saw two people standing beside him, clasped their fists and said to Dong Zhuo.

"Your Excellency, how can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer? My brothers regard these rebels as worthless. With the two of us guarding Hulao Pass, Luoyang will be safe and sound!"

Dong Zhuo saw that it was Zhang Hao and Deng Qiang, and couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Hao and Deng Qiang are Qiang people. They were picked up by Dong Zhuo on the side of the road in his early years. At that time, they had already passed out from starvation, but they still kept holding hands. Dong Zhuo was very surprised, so he put them together. rescued.

No one thought that the two people who were about to starve to death were all extremely brave and invincible. Because they were grateful for Dong Zhuo's life-saving grace, they have been serving Dong Zhuo since then, sacrificing their lives.

To be honest, if he could use his old subordinates, Dong Zhuo would definitely not want to use Lu Bu. This guy killed his adoptive father Ding Yuan today because of Chituma, who knows if he will kill himself for other reasons tomorrow?

The people he brought out were trustworthy. Now that Zhang Hao and Deng Qiang pleaded for orders, Dong Zhuo readily agreed and sent them 3 Xiliang cavalry to guard Hulao Pass, and by the way, give these rebels a disarm.

As the prefect of Hanoi, Wang Kuang naturally knew that if he wanted to attack Luoyang from Hanoi, he had to cross the Yellow River, so when the army set out, he sent a team to the Yellow River to collect boats for the army to cross the river.

Then he led the crowd towards Hanoi, talking and laughing with Bao Xin, Zhang Chao and others along the way, as if they were going out for an outing, because Wang Kuang knew that after collecting the boats, Luoyang would be in his pocket It's gone, so don't worry about it at all.

Liu Xiu quietly took everyone's performance into his eyes, and said nothing. Although he knew that such a march would lose the opportunity, he still did not stop him, because he came to the alliance this time not to attack Dong Zhuo, but to Look at the opponents in this world, look at this world.

Liu Bei and Cao Cao are formidable enemies, much stronger than the current self. No matter whether they are counselors, commanders, or fierce generals, there is no one under their command. Although the 12 people under their command are either outstanding in force or superior in wisdom, they are still not comparable They lack top talents!
As for the rest, Yuan Shao and Sun Jian may still be considered opponents, and the rest are not worth mentioning.

As Liu Xiu walked, he thought about the opponents he had met since the alliance.

In this way, what was originally a three-day schedule was abruptly dragged into four days by Wang Kuang. When the army rushed to the edge of the Yellow River, it happened that hundreds of boats had just stopped on the opposite bank, and the team sent to collect the boats had just arrived. Beheaded to death, some people still breathed a sigh of relief, everything is just right!

Helpless, Wang Kuang and others had to camp two miles from the shore to find another way.

Sun Jian and others knew the truth of the speed of soldiers, so they galloped all the way to Sishui Pass. Seeing that there were only 5000 defenders at Sishui Pass, Sun Jian immediately gave the order to attack.

Although the soldiers of our own army were exhausted, Sun Jian didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to capture Sishui Pass. Sun Jian took the lead and rushed up after stepping on the ladder. Seeing Sun Jian's bravery, the rest were also very excited.

As the first person climbed to the top of the city, gradually more and more people climbed to the top of the city. The small Sishuiguan began to be slowly occupied by Sun Jian's army, and the balance of victory had begun to tilt towards Sun Jian.

At this moment, the city gate of Sishuiguan opened wide, and suddenly tens of thousands of troops rushed out of the pass, unstoppable, and the leaders rushed directly into Sun Jian's army to kill them.

Sun Jian's army was originally an exhausted army, all supported by one breath, but now seeing the enemy's reinforcements coming, their morale suddenly plummeted, and they had no strength to fight. Sun Jian saw that the army under the city was retreating steadily, and quickly called the soldiers to start retreat.

It’s just that it’s difficult to climb to the top of the city, and it’s even more difficult to retreat from the top of the city. Many soldiers had no choice but to jump off the top of the city and fell to their deaths. Seeing that so many soldiers died in vain due to his own mistakes, Sun Jian was so angry that he wanted to go back and fight again Fortunately, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others around him pulled him back abruptly.

Due to their own slack, the northern line of the coalition army was one step late and could not cross the river, so they had to confront Dong Zhuojun by the Yellow River.

Because of the lack of luck on the southern front of the coalition forces, Gou Jian led the army to support in time, and did not attack Sishui Pass in one go. Although they attacked Sishui Pass every day from the next day, the pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was not easy to capture. , also fell into a stalemate.

At this time, the central army of the coalition army also rushed to Hulao Pass, and a big battle was about to start.
