In the late autumn of 194 A.D., since the beginning of November, the rain in Gyeonggi has not stopped, and two extra rains have fallen in a row, and the clouds are surging and the water is overflowing, washing the Tiger Prison Pass in the west. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The tiger prison is closed in the rain of the month, it looks more mottled, this pass named after the Zhou Mu Wang Ji full of prisoners of the tiger from the Western Zhou Dynasty, resolutely stands in the rain curtain.

"Da ......" A few fast horses crossed the water and rushed towards the Tiger Prison Pass in the distance.

After the Tiger Prison Pass to the west, Luoyang is not far away.

Tiger prison pass is more than seven zhang high, there is a pass every ten miles, there are originally a total of five passes, more than a thousand years ago, here is a tiger prison city, but after more than a thousand years of war, the remaining two passes have long collapsed, after repair, at this time there are still three passes, the huge pass in the middle is like entering the important place of Gyeonggi, usually not open, just the smallest pass in the west to welcome the crowd, these days, the pass is tightly closed, the city wall is full of black Xiliang army, the army of the original Han Dynasty has been changed to Chang'an City.

The horses galloped to the bottom of the city wall, and the first officer carried a bamboo frame like a bookshelf, which was densely wrapped in oilcloth, and he looked back at a few officers in robes behind him, and made sure that there was no shortage of people, and when he heard the shouting of the close, he said: "Let us in, it's been a few times, the rain is so heavy......

"Hey, I know it's you, but there are rules on the top, and now the war in the east is tight, and the small ones have no choice, so they have to follow the rules, you can be considerate!"

The officer cursed in a low voice, so he leaned down and took out a bamboo slip from the saddle bag, put it in a bamboo basket hanging from the city, and said in a loud voice: "Hurry up and knock on the seal!" The brothers have been running around for days, and they want to go in and drink warm wine quickly! ”

The city slowly pulled up the bamboo basket and said with a smile: "You are always waiting!" ”

The horses were soaking wet, spitting white air, occasionally shaking their heads and throwing up a tent of water.

"How's the war going now?" After the officer on the city wall sent the bamboo slips in, he stuck out his head and chatted with the people below.

"******Damn, it's coming, brother, hurry up and think about the way back!" The leading officer scolded fiercely, but did not squeak.

"It's only been more than a month, how can you be so fast?"

"You ask my brothers, the situation is not good, the princes everywhere have rebelled!"

"I see that you send letters every day, but this time, it took three days to deliver, what's going on?"

"The front is fighting hard, and we are losing and retreating! In less than half a month, it will be under this threshold! ”

"Alright, come in!"

There was a heavy mechanical sound at the pass, and the gate slowly opened, and the officer glanced at the weeds in the bricks of the wall, kicked off his horse's belly, and ran towards the gate.

Luoyang Weiyang Palace.

"Report!"

Dong Zhuo woke up from his sleep, in a daze, the cigarette smoke in front of him, the bell chime in the hall was faint, several dancing girls were singing and dancing freely, Dong Zhuo raised his head from the chest of a palace maid, only to find that he had slept too deeply, the light yarn on the chest of the palace maid was soaked with his saliva, wiped the corners of his mouth, and slapped it away: "Slut, don't wipe it clean yet, it stains the old man's mouth!" ”

The palace maid was hit by him and the corners of her mouth were bleeding, and she was busy kneeling on the ground to beg for mercy, Dong Zhuo saw someone outside the hall running towards the palace door, and several figures were shaking outside the door, obviously asking, and his heart was unconsciously angry, and he glanced at the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground trembling, and said, "Go to the Huanyi Bureau!" ”

The palace maid suddenly collapsed to the ground, whimpering silently, Dong Zhuo didn't care about him anymore, picked up a bunch of grapes from the case, and the palace maid next to him hurriedly took it and peeled it carefully.

"The old man wants to eat what you have in your mouth, hehehehe......" Dong Zhuo stuffed the grapes into the palace maid's mouth, then leaned into his mouth to suck the grapes in her mouth, and rubbed the palace maid's plump breasts with one big hand.

A crack opened in the side door, and a man who looked like a civil official walked in, carrying a few rolls of wet bamboo slips, carefully bypassing the chime, and walking gently towards Dong Zhuo.

When the eunuch beside Dong Zhuo saw him coming, he smiled and said, "It's Lord Li, what's so urgent?" You see......"

Dong Zhuo saw him, chewed the grapes in his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's Li Shizhong, come on, come on, eat wine together!" ”

The person who came was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Li Ru, seeing that Dong Zhuo was complacent, he was a little anxious, and hurriedly waved his hand, signaling the band to stop playing, Dong Zhuo did not blame, sat up straight, but grabbed the fat buttocks of the palace maid from behind with one hand, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?" ”

Li Ru said: "I just received a report that the princes of the Eighteenth Road are already approaching the Tiger Prison!" ”

"What!?" Dong Zhuo was so shocked that he jumped up from his seat, kicked the palace maid next to him one by one, and said, "Did the old man hear it wrong?" ”

Li Ru put down the bamboo slip with difficulty, and said: "It's true, this is the letter that just came, the princes of the Eighteenth Road, have indeed approached the Tiger Prison Pass, a distance of more than one hundred and fifty miles!" ”

Dong Zhuo immediately calmed down, and in an instant, his mind raced: "Li Ji and Guo Yan are stationed in Chang'an, and Zhang Ji and Fan Chou are east of the Tiger Prison Pass, are they also defeated?" ”

Li Ru had already read the bamboo slips carefully, and he knew the current situation well, so he didn't want to think about it and said: "How can Zhang Ji and Fan Chou be the opponents of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu?" Although the princes of the Eighteenth Road are pregnant with ghosts, they are still united and invincible, our army, our army is defeated all the way! ”

Dong Zhuoyuan opened his eyes, grabbed the armrests of the seat with both hands, and twisted the two dragons on the copper armrests with a "click", he kicked the case in front of him away, stood up from the seat, and paced left and right with his hands behind his back.

"Today, General Huaxiong has rushed to Luoyang with his troops and horses, and he is on standby, and among the princes of the Eighteen Roads, the strength of Cao Cao and Sun Jian should not be underestimated, and the rest of the princes are just a full number." Li Ru saw Dong Zhuo bowing his head and thinking about something, and did not speak, so he continued: "At the moment, our army urgently needs a victory to redeem the depressed spirit of defeat and retreat!" ”

This sentence seemed to wake up Dong Zhuo something, he stopped and stood still, with a cold light in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Also, where is Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Kui now?" ”

"He is now under close guard at home."

Dong Zhuo thought for a while and said, "In your opinion, how can you achieve a victory?" ”

Li Ru's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "From the previous few confrontations, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou seem to have the intention of retreating, Huaxiong and him have always been at odds, it is better to send Huaxiong to go, and the Taishi will repair the letter to blame the two generals, this time, the three generals all have the heart to fight for merit, and then divide and attack the princes of the Eighteen Roads, they have their own ghosts, and after a long time, they will have suspicions, as long as our army can win a few small victories on the battlefield, frustrate the spirit of the other, the princes of the Eighteen Roads, hum, will collapse in a few days!" ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Okay, good idea, the old man will kill the chicken again to show the monkey, so that Yuan Shao's heart will be broken!" ”

Li Ru said: "Could it be that the Taishi wants to ......" He made a killing move, his eyes showed a cold light, and he said loudly: "Come on!" Immediately escort Yuan Kui's family to the Tiger Prison, and behead them all above the city! ”

That night, while Yuan Kui's family embarked on the road of death, the army in Luoyang City also began to move frequently, and an army drove out of Luoyang City and went straight to the Tiger Prison.

In Bishui County, west of Tiger Prison Pass, Dong Zhuo's army is stationed, this night the torches are bright, the war horses are neighing everywhere, and the people in Bishui County have already moved to the west of Luoyang, which is occupied by Dong Zhuo's army, a sword and sword.

The northeast corner of Bishui County is the core of the army, and the original county yamen has long been transformed into a military camp, with iron armor guards, and the lights are bright in the huge yamen.

In the distance, a general about eight feet five inches tall with more than 20 guards walked all the way towards the general's mansion, and the sound of brushing on the ground shook the blue bricks in front of the general's mansion slightly.

"Stop, whoever!" The guards at the gate broke off, and the general stood on his heels, and the two guards looked up only to see the dense beard on the general's chin, and they didn't feel a little cold.

"My General Jiahua, come to pay homage to General Lu!" An adjutant general behind him handed over the name post, "I have already sent someone to report earlier." ”

The two sergeants took the name card, and saw that the brown bamboo slips were engraved with the word "Hua Xiong", and the handwriting was painted with gold powder, and they were about to rest assured, but they saw that Hua Xiongli ignored them, and walked in, and the halberd in their hands was inserted in the green bricks beside them.

Hua Xiong proudly stepped into the general's mansion, and the heavy guards wanted to stop him, but he heard a shout from the mansion: "Let General Hua come in!" ”

The soles of Hua Xiong's feet were secretly lucky, and the ground he walked on was dented one by one, and the guards in the courtyard were dumbfounded.

Bypassing the shadow wall, Hua Xiong walked through the guest hall and around the cloister to the backyard, only to see a person who was a head taller than him in a light blue casual dress stepping out of the hall in one of the golden halls.

Hua Xiong didn't feel the slightest truth from him, and arched his hand slightly: "General Lu, bother, this is ......" He was about to take out the letter that Dong Zhuo gave him from his arms, but he was unexpectedly grabbed by the other party and said: "Come on, General Hua, come and have a drink first!" ”

Hua Xiong secretly carried Zhenru, for some reason, he was blocked by the other party's hand without Zhenru, and he couldn't make any effort at all, he was secretly surprised in his heart, and he pretended to be calm, and turned back to the deputy general and said: "You are waiting outside the door!" ”

The man introduced Hua Xiong into the hall, and at this time Hua Xiong found that the hall was full of officers, large and small, staring at him in unison, making him like a thorn in his back.

"General Hua, don't be afraid, a banquet has been set up, and you will be waiting for you!"

Hua Xiong said, Lao Tzu is not afraid of you, but it is difficult to speak, so he has to follow him into the table.

He was in the second seat, that is, the chief of the east side who was only the master.

The rest of the generals sat on both sides, the bell rang, and the maids in battle uniforms brought fragrant meat.

"Fengxian, Hua Xiong has just arrived today, not to eat your banquet!" Hua Xiong was bold and straight to the point.

The one who pulled Huaxiong into the hall was Dong Zhuoyi's son Lu Bu.

Lu Bu didn't care about it on his pretty face, and said with a smile: "General Hua, don't eat alcohol today, the order in the army is strict, and those who eat alcohol will be beheaded to show the public, I have wronged you!" He spoke politely, but there was cunning in his eyes, Hua Xiong "groaned" in his heart, and he didn't want to bother with his lips and tongues, and said: "I really can't eat this wine, I'm here to get down to business today." When I was down to business, I was gone! ”

Lu Bu picked up the meat plate on the case and looked at it, suddenly slammed it down, and said with a straight face: "So, General Hua doesn't give Lu Bu face?" ”

Hua Xiong's facial muscles were a little distorted, but he was not afraid, and said with a stiff neck: "I came here today to follow the emperor's decree and ask General Lu to allocate grain and grass to me!" ”

Lu Bu snorted, and suddenly his voice raised an octave: "You only have the emperor in your eyes, and there is no Taishi?!" ”

The entire hall was suddenly silent, Hua Xiong was stunned by his words, and hurriedly stammered: "I have followed the Taishi since I was a child, how can I not have the Taishi in my eyes!" General Lu took refuge halfway, he must not be very clear! The implication of his words was that Lu Bu's qualifications were far inferior to him.

Lu Bu sneered and asked, "How much grain do you want?" ”

Hua Xiong was secretly proud in his heart, and said: "It's not me who wants it, it's Taishi Jun's decree that General Lu will allocate 20,000 stone grain and grass to me!" ”

Lu Bu looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing so inexplicably that Hua Xiong was faintly uneasy in his heart, but he saw Lu Bu laughing for a while, staring at Hua Xiong fiercely, and said: "I heard that when you were in Xiliang, you carried the Taishi on your back and secretly went to the underground palace, so 'Xingshi' ......"

One sentence frightened Hua Xiong's soul to fly, his face turned pale, and said: "You, you, how do you know ......?"

Lu Bu continued: "It seems that you have really obtained the Divine Beast Weapon. ”

Hua Xiong stood up and said, "Fengxian, I came with you to allocate grain and grass, what are you talking about these things out of nothing!?" ”

Lu Bu narrowed his eyes and said: "It seems that you have obtained half of the strength of Xingshi, I heard that He Jin's ruthlessness also fell into the hands of Zhang Rang, and now I don't know where it is, I think, this matter that the master told you is more important, right?" ”

Hua Xiong's face was pale and he couldn't speak, only to see the corners of Lu Bu's mouth tilted upward, and said: "Come to think of it, the Taishi still doesn't know these things you did behind his back, just asked you to visit Zhang Rang's whereabouts, if the Taishi knows that you already have what to do, what will you think?" He stretched out his index and middle fingers, "What do you want to do if you have two divine beast weapons?" ”

Hua Xiong hurriedly said: "Fart!" The Taishi doesn't know how to use this divine beast weapon, how can I know? What is it, what is the underground palace, inexplicable, Lu Bu, do you allocate grain and grass? ”

Seeing that he refused to admit it, Lu Bu stopped asking, and said with a smile: "Dial, of course dial!" It's just that now I'm also nervous about food and grass, so I can only allocate half of you first, and you will meet Zhang Jifan first, if you can win one or two battles and die some sergeants, won't the food and grass be enough? Besides, General Hua is so powerful, it is not a problem to seize one or two granaries from the princes of the Eighteen Roads, right? At that time, the younger brother will repair another book to commend the general's heart of saving food for the imperial court, and the general has a brilliant future! ”

Hua Xiong saw that he refused to allocate all the grain, and thought that he could allocate half of it first, and he was in his heart, and he was also weak, so he hurriedly agreed to come down, got the grain first, won the battle, and then talked about Lu Bu.

"Then I'll wait for the general's grain and grass, tomorrow, I'll pull it out and disturb it!" Hua Xiong arched his hand, didn't look at him, turned around and strode away.

The soldiers in the palace saw that Hua Xiong and Lu Bu had a quarrel, and left in a bad mood, and they were not interested in having a good meal, but they heard Lu Bu say: "Everyone, don't be disappointed, you also heard what you said just now, don't reveal half a point to the outside world, if it leaks out, don't blame me for being polite!" Wei continued, immediately allocated 10,000 stone grain and grass to Huaxiong, and sent him out of the city tomorrow! Gao Ran listened to the order, and your troops and horses were stationed in Huaxiong as soon as he left the Tiger Prison Pass, and he was not allowed to enter the customs without my order! Zhang Liao, you will go out of the city tomorrow, the soldiers and horses of the headquarters will be controlled by me for the time being, your task is to find Zhang Rang before Huaxiong and take He Jin's divine beast weapon! ”

The generals at the bottom agreed one by one, and they didn't care about eating, so they turned around and walked out.

"Wenyuan!" Lu Bu stopped Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao turned around and said, "What else does the general command?" ”

Lu Budao: "Look, Huaxiong's truth is as good as me, how is it?" ”

Zhang Liao was expressionless and said: "Although he has the true power of the divine beast, according to my estimate, compared with the general, he is just like a child and a strong man!" ”

Lu Bu thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "You are right, Hua Xiong has been following the lord for a long time, it is inevitable to be arrogant, you flattered him at that time, arrogant, I see, the generals under my account, and some of the princes of the Eighteen Roads are not under Hua Xiong, it's just that how much strength he has is still unknown, Wen Yuan, you have to observe secretly, and report to me in time!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Liao saw that Lu Bu had no more orders, and turned away.
