As soon as I arrived, I fell into the enemy’s ambush. If it weren’t for the rescue of Martial Marquis Commandant Gongsun, it would be a question of whether I could escape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sun Jian was honest; not only did he not claim merit, but he also told the story of how he fell into an ambush.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now, the eyes of all the warlords fell on Su Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"General Sun is too polite. If it weren’t for you fighting with that Hua Xiong first, and fighting until he was exhausted, I wouldn’t have been able to take advantage of the situation and take him down in one fell swoop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Li smiled slightly; in such an occasion, one should still be humble when necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Moreover, in this main plot, the rewards that these \"097\" players finally obtained were settled by the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It had nothing to do with Yuan Shao, the alliance leader, or the other warlords.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So he wouldn’t be greedy for merit, pretend to be big, or be the first bird to be shot; he should still be humble when necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Playing the pig to eat the tiger, making a fortune in silence—isn’t that fragrant?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, Marquis of Wucheng, Administrator Su, you two should not push the merit back and forth. This alliance leader has already recorded your merit. When we take Luoyang and rescue the Son of Heaven, I will definitely request merit for you two at the imperial court!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yuan Shao says so now, but what he will do after rescuing the Son of Heaven and restoring the order of the imperial court is unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>More importantly...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>According to the original historical plot, whether the Son of Heaven can be rescued and the imperial court restored is another matter!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The next day, early morning, the warlord coalition began to advance to Sishui Pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yesterday, Sun Jian launched a surprise attack on Sishui Pass, but although he was ambushed, Su Li finally took action and beheaded Hua Xiong, which was a great victory for the warlord faction!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Plus, Yuan Shao held a celebration banquet last night, and now it is the time when the morale of the various warlords is soaring.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He directly made the decision to assemble the troops early in the morning and attack Sishui Pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This time it was not a small fight, but all the warlords came out, plus the players who joined the warlord faction, with a force of over ten million, launching a fierce attack on Sishui Pass!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hua Xiong was dead, but Sishui Pass still had garrison commanders Li Su, Guo Si, Li Cui, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>These people, although not as good as the fierce general Hua Xiong in terms of martial power, were not weak in terms of leading troops; they were all famous generals in history.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In terms of garrison troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The hundreds of thousands of Dong Zhuo garrison troops in the pass and the players who joined Dong Zhuo’s faction, all counted together, also numbered several million to ten million.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Plus Sishui Pass was a natural barrier, with high walls and strong gates; as a pass, its defensive capability was even better than some large cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Under such circumstances, even if Hua Xiong died, taking Sishui Pass was not a simple matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fortunately.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The warlord faction was not unprepared for the siege.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In order to capture the passes in front of Luoyang, big families like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had already ordered the construction of a large number of siege weapons before the alliance began.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had already wrestled with Dong Zhuo once before. If it weren’t for losing to luck, letting Dong Zhuo get the two trump cards of the Prince of Chenliu and the original Son of Heaven, perhaps the one controlling the imperial court now would not be Dong Zhuo, but Yuan Shao.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So this time, Yuan Shao naturally had already made preparations.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Secretly prepared high-level scaling ladders, siege towers, catapults, siege chariots, etc., at least over a hundred large siege weapons... 0\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just these large siege weapons, if players were to build them, it would take at least several years to build, which is very astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When Yuan Shao ordered these siege weapons to be transported from the rear, all the warlords, including Su Li, were shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The foundation of the Four Generations and Three Excellencies is truly extraordinary; just these siege weapons are not comparable to ordinary warlords!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing those large weapons transported from the rear that were comparable to siege beasts, even Su Li couldn’t help but sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>From this point, one can see the gap between Yuan Shao’s foundation in the early stage and ordinary warlords.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If Yuan Shao’s ambition were not large enough, basically, he could destroy any warlord.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the early stage, no warlord could stop Yuan Shao’s invasion alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This is the gap in strength and foundation!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Before the imperial court was completely disintegrated, Yuan Shao still dared not do this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If he dared to do this 0.0.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He would be the next Dong Zhuo!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>By then.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It would no longer be the warlords campaigning against Dong, but the warlords campaigning against Yuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Requesting self-subscription, requesting evaluation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When those giant siege engines, like floods and wild beasts, were pulled out by Yuan Shao’s forces, Yuan Shao, as the alliance leader, was even more high-spirited.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, Yuan Shao could feel the gazes of almost all the feudal lords converging upon him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To be the focus of everyone’s attention—it was nothing more than this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thus, he paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Standing on his four-wheeled chariot, Yuan Shao held high his exclusive divine weapon, the Si Zhao Sword, and swept his gaze over all the feudal lords around him: \"Thanks to the vanguard efforts of the Marquis of Wucheng and Prefect Su yesterday, the ambushes and obstacles on our path were cleared! This allowed our siege engines to proceed without obstruction!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Now! One hundred siege engines are in position.

Even if I killed Hua Xiong in advance, it wouldn't draw out Lu Bu early!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Li thought for a moment and muttered slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>According to the excellent tradition of this world, there was usually a duel of generals before a siege.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But now that Hua Xiong was dead and the strongest, Lu Bu, was not present, no one among the defenders on Sishui Pass dared to come out to accept the challenge of the Han army. They could only watch as the morale of the allied feudal lords surged further.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was merely an increase in the morale of the troops, slightly boosting combat power. For a large-scale pass like Sishui Pass, it didn't have much effect. The key still lay in how to break the gates, scale the walls, and shatter the defenses of Sishui Pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As long as the defenses of Sishui Pass were broken, the allied feudal lords had the confidence to take the pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conversely, as long as the defenses of Sishui Pass remained, the defending general Li Su had the confidence to block the feudal lords' invasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just under the gaze of countless people from both sides, over a hundred siege engines were pushed to the front, protected by layers of the coalition forces' troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Rumble!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A thunderous sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The power of the high-tier catapults sounded the horn of war!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hundreds of giant stones, accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, smashed crazily toward Sishui Pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Large swaths of enemies were struck by the giant stones and rolled down from the city walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It wouldn't be broken in a short while.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But the defending generals on the wall, Li Su and others, were scared silly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They hadn't expected the allied feudal lords to be so well-prepared, even readying over a hundred siege engines.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When he saw the remaining siege engines, under the cover of the catapults and countless coalition troops, slowly appear at the front and begin moving toward Sishui Pass, Li Su frantically grabbed a messenger beside him: \"Quick! Report to the Prime Minister immediately! The coalition has a large number of siege engines, Sishui Pass... is in imminent danger!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1696,"2026-06-15T20:03:11.813Z","2026-06-17T08:45:35.663Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","0cc324b593391cfea5ac15f98ee950619e01bcb1b5a9bdb4d9c2a9439871720a","three-kingdoms-survival-starting-with-hundredfol-chapter-404","three-kingdoms-survival-starting-with-hundredfol-chapter-402",480,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-kingdoms-survival-starting-with-hundredfol-cover.jpg"]
