Only after all the princes met Chen Chu's courtesy, Liu Bei had the opportunity to come to pay homage to Chen Chu.

"Bie pays homage to the general." Liu Bei knelt on one knee and clasped his fists, looking a little excited.

Chen Chu smiled and helped Liu Bei up, letting him stand behind him with the three generals under his command.

Chen Chu turned his head and looked at Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu quickly gave up a smile. Since Chen Chu appeared, Yuan Shu has been timid and has not said nonsense.

Due to Chen Chu's reputation, Yuan Shao strongly invited Chen Chu to sit side by side with him and issued orders together, and the other princes also strongly agreed. Chen Chu could not refuse and had to sit next to Yuan Shao.

Everyone sat down and began to discuss the strategy of advancing. Yuan Shao first emphasized the military law, and everyone said: Follow the orders closely. Then, after soliciting Chen Chu's opinions, Yuan Shao decided that Yuan Shu would escort the grain and grass to be responsible for the supply of the princes. The reason why Yuan Shu was asked to supervise the grain and grass transportation was because a considerable part of the grain and grass brought by Yuan Shu from Huainan. Then Yuan Shao said: "Now there is still a vanguard who needs to challenge before Sishui Pass and go as he wishes?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Changsha Prefect Sun Jian stepped out and said, "Jian is willing to go to challenge."

Yuan Shaoxi said: "Wentai bravely and fiercely, can take this position."

Sun Jian immediately wanted to leave the tent and greet the troops of the headquarters. However, at this moment, Chen Chu called out: "Please stay at the Wentai."

Although Sun Jian was slightly surprised, he stopped and turned to Chen Chu and said, "What are the general's instructions?"

If what happened next did not change, Sun Jian would be defeated by Hua Xiong. For now, Chen Chu does not want such a thing to happen.

So he said to Sun Jian: "The Wentai is brave, but it is lonely after all. I send a general to lead the army with the Wentai."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this. Yuan Shao said, "This is a foolproof way!"

However, Sun Jian refused and said, "Thank you for your kindness. Jian has four handsome generals under his command, which can help Jian's arms."

Sun Jian has a strong sense of self-esteem. In his opinion, Chen Chu looked down on him by saying this. Therefore, he would not agree with Chen Chu's proposal.

Seeing that Sun Jian was firm in his attitude, Chen Chu had to go alone.

However, Chen Chu did not intend to let the situation develop like this. So he said to Yuan Shao: "I am afraid that there will be a mistake when Wentai goes alone. I am willing to send a general to serve as a supporter."

Yuan Shao said happily: "This is the best!"

Chen Chu immediately called out: "Chang Yun."

Guan Yu was happy when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped out of the line and knelt in front of Chen Chu, "The last one is here."

"I'll order you to lead 10,000 cavalry to follow Sun Jian to Sishui Pass. If Sun Jian wins, he will not move. Otherwise, if Sun Jian fails, he will send troops to respond immediately."

"Yes." Guan Yu then withdrew from the tent and prepared.

After Guan Yu retreated, Chen Chu said to Yuan Shao again: "House Qixiang, let's go and prepare for the military affairs."

Yuan Shao nodded and then sang: "Everyone is going to prepare and be sure to advance as soon as possible."

Luoyang. Just as Dong Zhuo was having sex on the embroidered couch of the concubines in the harem, Li Ru suddenly came to report that the princes of Guandong raised 450,000 troops and came to Sishui Pass.

Dong Zhuo was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly rushed out of the quilt with his pants. While rushing to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, he also sent someone to invite his confidant counselors and generals to discuss countermeasures.

When they returned to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, the strategists and generals were already waiting.

Before he could sit still, Dong Zhuo asked anxiously: "The princes of Kanto raised an army of 450,000 to rebel against me! What good strategies do you have but it's okay!"

Before he finished speaking, a general came out and said, "I kill all the heads of the princes as if I were taking things out of my pocket. I would like to relieve my worries for the Grand Master."

Dong Zhuo looked closely at the general and found that it was Hua Xiong from Guanxi. Hua Xiong was majestic, ugly and terrifying, and extraordinary momentum. Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and immediately appointed Hua Xiong as the captain of the cavalry. He ordered him to lead 50,000 troops and go to Sishui Pass with Li Su, Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen to meet the enemy.

Let’s talk about the princes outside the pass.

Jinbei Prime Minister Bao Xin was worried that Sun Jian would steal the first prize as a vanguard, so he secretly ordered his brother Bao Zhong to lead his army to take three thousand to take a small road and rush to challenge in front of Sishui Pass.

Bao Zhong led 3,000 horse and infantry troops to the front of Sishui Pass. Bao Zhong rode his horse to the pass and scolded him.

A moment later, a mighty general led 500 cavalry out of the pass and rushed towards Bao Zhong. Bao Zhong became timid on the spot and immediately fled. However, he did not escape far, and was killed by Hua Xiong from behind and killed him with a knife. Then Hua Xiong led the cavalry to rush left and right, killing Bao Xinjun to throw away his armor and corpses everywhere.

After Hua Xiong killed Bao Zhong, he immediately sent someone to bring Bao Zhong's head to Luoyang to offer victory. Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, so he succeeded Xiong as the governor.

Shortly after Bao Zhong was defeated and died, Sun Jian also led his army outside Sishui Pass.

Sun Jian had four powerful generals under his command, namely Cheng Pu, a native of Youbeiping, whose courtesy name was Demou, and his weapon was an iron halberd, snake spear; Huang Gai, a native of Lingling, whose courtesy name was Gongfu, and his weapon was an iron whip; Han Dang, a native of the Western Liao Dynasty, whose courtesy name was Yigong, and his weapon was a big knife; Zu Mao, a native of Fuchun, Wujun, whose courtesy name was Darong, and his weapon was a double sword.

"Lord, General Zhengbei sent a general and 10,000 cavalry to set up a camp twenty miles behind our army. Why is this?" Huang Gai asked Sun Jian in confusion.

Sun Jian snorted coldly: "General Zhengbei was worried that we would be defeated, so he sent all the troops to pick us up. I wondered when my Sun Wentai was so scattered across Jiangdong. I was so underestimated! The three armies were ordered to rest and eat today and attack the city immediately tomorrow morning. I want General Zhengbei to see that the title of Sun Wentai's tiger in Jiangdong is not a false reputation!"

Sun Jian led 30,000 troops to get a village at Sishui Pass. On that day, the soldiers and soldiers rested early after eating.

The next day, it was dawn, and Sun Jian's 30,000 troops had already formed a formation. Sun Jian led the four generals to come out of the pass and scold him, but the Sishui Pass was not moved at all, and he only greeted him with arrows. Sun Jian had no choice but to hit the horse and return to the formation, and then ordered the three armies to attack the city immediately.

Then the war drums were radiated, and the Chu Xiang army under Sun Jian roared and carried the ladder to start rushing to the pass.

After closing, countless arrow stones flew down, many of Sun Jian's army who were charging were caught and fell to the ground. However, the rain of arrows did not stop Sun Jian's army from advancing. Sun Jian's army pushed the skin shield on his head and continued to move forward quickly. In addition, there were powerful crossbowmen who kept firing arrows under the wall to suppress the archers on the wall.

Just a moment later, Sun Jianjun rushed to the wall and set up a ladder in the rain of arrows. Sun Jianjun's assault warrior bit his sharp blade with his teeth and climbed up quickly along the ladder.

At this time, countless huge stones and wood suddenly fell from the wall. With the thrilling loud noises, most of the climbing Sun Jianjun and the ladder were smashed to pieces.

A small number of Sun Jian's army, who escaped the interception, climbed up to the city wall, but under the strangle of the opponent's superior forces, they were all killed soon.

A warrior of Sun Jian's army climbed up to the city wall with his superb skills. On the city wall, the warrior waved his sword and slashed left and right, killing more than a dozen Dong Zhuo soldiers in a short time. However, facing the counterattack of countless Dong Zhuo soldiers, the warrior was quickly cut into several sections in the heavy sword light. This is the difficulty of siege. Even if the attacking party's military strength is much higher than the defending party, there are very few soldiers who can climb the city wall at the same time. At this time, the defending party's military strength has an absolute advantage in force, and the attacking party's soldiers who attack the city wall can only face the fate of being strangled.

The battle lasted from morning until the sun set. After paying nearly 3,000 casualties, Sun Jian still did not shake the slightest slightest.

Sun Jian has a strong temper. The more difficult it is, the more he wants to attack. Especially at this time, there was an army behind Sun Jian watching. Sun Jian believed that if he could not conquer Sishui Pass, he would be ridiculed by General Zhengbei in the future.

In the days that followed, Sun Jian kept sieging the city. His posture was simply a desperate attempt.

News of the coalition of princes rising up to attack Dong Zhuo soon spread in Luoyang City. For this, there were those who were happy, those who hated, and those who were indifferent.

In Cai Mansion in Luoyang, Cai Yong, the current Grand Secretary, was looking at the sky and shook his head and sighing.

At this moment, a nice voice suddenly sounded behind Cai Yong, "Why did my father sigh?"

Cai Yong turned around and saw a stunning girl in a new green palace outfit walking towards him. It was his daughter Cai Yan.

"Wen Ji, aren't you preparing for the Luoyang Poetry Festival? Why are you free to have time to have fun at home?" Cai Yong said with a smile.

Cai Yan immediately showed a depressed expression and complained: "My daughter has already prepared this matter, but she doesn't expect that the princes outside the pass will raise an army to attack Dong Zhuo at this time! Now the war is in chaos, and many young handsome men dare not come to Luoyang anymore, so her daughter has to postpone the matter."

Cai Yong nodded and said nothing.

"Father, I heard that the princes outside the pass were attacking Dong Zhuo by secret orders. I wonder if this matter is true? And what Yuan Benchu ​​said about the world is true?" Cai Yan asked curiously.

Cai Yong frowned and nodded, "The secret edict is probably true, and what Yuan Benchu ​​said about Dong Zhuo should be true."

When Cai Yan heard this, she frowned and said, "Father, since Dong Zhuo is really a traitor, why is his father driven by him?"

Cai Yong smiled bitterly and sighed, "Oh! I have no choice but to do so! In order to fulfill my lifelong wish, I can only temporarily surrender to the traitor!"

"My father has good intentions, but the princes outside the pass probably don't think so. When the princes enter Luoyang in the future, did my father think about his situation?"

Cai Yong smiled freely and said, "It doesn't matter! As long as I can fulfill my wish, even if I die, I can rest in peace! I just can't let go of one thing, Wen Ji and your mother. I just hope that the princes outside the pass can do whatever they want to kill in a benevolent and righteous manner!"

"Father!" Cai Yan looked at his father excitedly, and tears unknowingly slid across his beautiful face. At this moment, Cai Yan suddenly felt that his father was so tall.

Just as the father and daughter were talking, the housekeeper suddenly came to report, "It's not good! Bao Zhong, the younger brother of Bao Xin, the prince outside the pass, was beheaded by Hua Xiong in front of Sishui Pass!"

Cai Yong was shocked when he heard this, "Bao Zhong is a famous brave general. He would not have thought that he would be defeated by Hua Xiong! The princes outside the pass lost this time, and their sharpness was frustrated. The victory or defeat was probably unpredictable!"

"Master, I also heard that Sun Jian, a tiger from Jiangdong, has entered the Sishui Pass and is attacking the gate day and night!"
