Every day, the Coalition Army and Dong Zhuo's Army engaged in a routine battle of attack and defense, where the Coalition Army couldn't break through, and Dong Zhuo's forces didn't want to fight; so they just dragged on aimlessly, neither alive nor dead. It seemed that Yuan Shao had already completely forgotten his previous declaration of irreconcilable hostility towards Dong Zhuo. He had now earned enough reputation, of course, if he could take Hulao Pass and march his troops to Luoyang, his fame would truly spread throughout the land.
Chen Xi gazed at the blood-stained Hulao Pass, knowing that sieges were this brutal, with people falling every day.
"Zichuan, how long do you think it will take us to reach Luoyang at this rate?" Zhang Fei asked gloomily, his serious injuries from last time now 90% healed. Moreover, according to Zhang Fei himself and the feedback from Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, his strength had actually increased by a notch.
