The two men and their troops quickly arrived at the front and rear of the pass.
Xuanmen Pass is not a large city, about the size of a county town. With 100,000 people inside, it should be packed to the brim.
However, to their surprise, when the revolving gate closed, all that remained were straw figures, except for the flags.
One hundred thousand soldiers vanished without a trace.
What's going on?
After the two groups rushed in, they mistook each other for enemies and fought for a while before realizing they were on the same side.
As a result, thousands of people died on both sides.
When Lü Bu saw that it was Li Jue and his men, his face fell.
Fifty or sixty thousand people occupied the Xuanmen Pass, each refusing to give way to the other.
Li Jue hurriedly sent someone to inform Dong Zhuo of the unusual situation at Xuanmen Pass.
now.
In Luoyang, at the Grand Tutor's residence.
Hundreds of officials have been taken into custody by Dong Huang and his armored soldiers and have all been tied up.
"Grand Tutor, what are you doing? What wrong have we committed?"
The civil officials were terrified, and many of them questioned loudly.

"ah!"
The crowd immediately erupted in chaos, and everyone instantly understood what was going on.
Dong Zhuo was unable to stop Liu Wei's army and was too frightened to fight when the city was besieged by a million-strong army.
Today, his elite cavalry was ambushed again by Liu Wei's troops at Beiman Mountain. Dong Zhuo took a desperate gamble and planned to burn down Luoyang and then take the emperor to Yanzhou.
These officials were also coerced into setting up makeshift troupes and becoming puppets.
"Grand Tutor, what will happen to my family?!"
"You traitor Dong Zhuo, you shall die a horrible death!"
Someone immediately roared in anger.
"Kill them!"
Dong Zhuo waved his hand, and Dong Huang, without hesitation, brandished his long sword and beheaded the minister who was hurling insults.
"You old thief, ah!"
Curses and screams filled the air as Dong Huang killed more than thirty people before the others finally quieted down.
"Take them out of the city and join Li Jue."
"The rest of you, follow me to the palace!"
