Tiger Prison Pass

Dong Zhuo, who had won a big victory, laughed and ordered a big feast to reward the sergeants.

Everyone ate and drank for a while, Dong Zhuo saw Li Ru's thoughtful appearance, and asked, "This big victory is all due to Wenyou's good scheduling, why Wenyou doesn't like it and worries?" ”

Li Ru got up and arched his hand and said, "Taishi Mingjian, in today's battle, although our army won a big victory, there are indeed elite soldiers and strong generals among the allies.

Although our army is strong, it is difficult to replenish, on the other hand, the Kanto region has a large population, and it is very easy to replenish, and it may be difficult to win this battle quickly..."

Dong Zhuo stroked his beard and said, "Well, I also take a closer look at today's battle, although the sergeants under the command of Yuan Shao, Ma Qiang and others are not as brave as our army, but they also advance and retreat to a certain extent, Wen You, how do you say to break the enemy?" ”

Li Ru looked at the generals and said with a smile, "Among the thief army, although most of them are former officials of the Yuan family, there must be some of them who are forced to send troops helplessly.

The Taishi can send famous ministers to the east to preach comfort and persuade the troops to stop, as long as one person retreats, the thief army will collapse without a fight! ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he felt justified, so he asked the light cavalry to rush back to Luoyang overnight, transferred the big Honglu Han Rong, Shaofu Yin Xun, and held the Jinwu Hu Mu class, and Wu Xun, who would be the master craftsman, and Wang Gui, the captain of the Yue Cavalry, each went out of Wuguan, Mengjin, and Tiger Prison to persuade peace.

- Allied battalion

Three days have passed since the previous big war.

In the past three days, the princes of the allied forces quarreled and complained to each other every day, and Lu Zhi proposed several times to build ordnance and storm the tiger prison, but no one responded, which couldn't help but make Lu Zhi disappointed.

On this day, there was drinking and noisy in the big tent again, Ma Qiang couldn't stand it, walked out of the big tent, and as soon as he came out, he saw Cao Cao standing outside looking at the west.

"Brother Mengde, why did you come out too?"

Cao Cao turned around and saw Ma Qiang, smiled bitterly, and said, "I thought that after we raised troops in the eastern part of the country, Dong thieves would inevitably die quickly, and we would be able to help the Han family in danger and save the world from fire and water, but I didn't expect that Dong Zhuo's soldiers would be so strong, and now our soldiers are moving with righteousness, but they can only linger here and watch, and they can't move forward, which makes people laugh at it...."

Ma Qiang stood beside Cao Cao, also looked to the west, nodded and said, "Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses are indeed unexpected, Lu Bu's tiger and wolf generals, Li Ru's wise man, if you want to break through the tiger prison, I'm afraid you can't use strong." ”

Cao Cao clapped his hands and said, "I also have this intention, I just thought about one thing, and suddenly I have some understanding!" ”

Ma Qiangqi said: "Brother Meng De, what did he think of? ”

Cao Cao took off the sword, drew a picture on the ground, and said, "Ma Pingyuan, you see, Dong thief's soldiers and horses are strong, but why don't you send troops to attack when our righteous army gathers in sour dates?" At that time, our soldiers and horses were not as good as now! ”

"Why?"

"Because the rear of the Dong thief is unstable! Dong Thief is a native of Liangzhou, most of his generals are also from Liangzhou, Ma Teng and Han Sui of Liangzhou have not returned to the imperial court, plus the Baibo Army in the north has heard that it is also quite powerful, and the Huns in Bingzhou often plunder, Dong Thief looks powerful, but he does not dare to send soldiers and horses to Kanto, I even suspect that Dong Thief wants to retreat to Guanzhong, retreat to Chang'an, which he is familiar with!

If this is really the case, as long as our army entangles the main force of Dong Thief here, let Yuan Highway break through the Wuguan, or let Wang Taishou break through Mengjin, and then recruit An Baibo, Xiongnu, Ma Han and others in the name of the Son of Heaven, Dong Thief will fall into a desperate situation on all sides! ”

As he spoke, Cao Cao's eyes revealed a glimmer of victory, and he looked at Ma Qiang, hoping to be recognized.

Ma Qiang looked at the picture drawn by Cao Cao and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

This Cao Cao is amazing, he obviously lost the battle, but he saw the chance to win!

But your tactics are too slow, and now it's the seventh day of Dong Zhuo's decision to move the capital, so there's no time...

Ma Qiang nodded to Cao Cao and said, "What Brother Meng De said is reasonable, I think I can talk to the alliance leader!" ”

Cao Cao listened, looked back at the people who were already about to fight, sighed, shook his head and said, "The previous fiasco, all the princes have grievances in their hearts, so let's wait a while." ”

Cao Cao also knew that the results of his tactics were very slow, and he was not in a hurry.

Ma Qiang said goodbye to Cao Cao and returned to his barracks, Jia Xu and others were already waiting in the account, Ma Qiang sat down and asked, "How are the wounded soldiers?" ”

Huang Zhong arched his hand and said, "Ming Gong rest assured, he has all withdrawn to Aocang and is returning to the plain by boat!" ”

Ma Qiang nodded and said, "Thanks to the help of Zhen, Mi and others, otherwise they would really not be able to coordinate so many ships at once, and they would all have to take credit... What is the situation in Luoyang and Hanoi now?"

Jia Xu took out two telegrams and handed them to Ma Qiang and said, "Luoyang calls, Henan has been completely chaotic, and the people everywhere have begun to be forcibly relocated, Dong Zhuo in order to prevent the people from leaving, and even burned fields and destroyed wells everywhere, this is to turn Luoyang into white land!" ”

"What about Hanoi?"

"Zilong's cavalry is now in Jishui, just opposite us, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang has tried several times, but was repelled by Dong Yue, the Yellow River north of Luoyang is said to be only Mengjin, Xiaopingjin two passes, but in fact, there are Xiwodu, Pingyindu, Annihilation, Baihedu, Wushejin and other ferries, Wang Kuang is also worried that his light army will be surrounded by counter-copying, not to mention that Hedong County also has Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses, and he can go out of Jiguan at any time to encircle Wang Kuang!"

Jia Xu said while pointing out important places on the map, Ma Qiang saw that this Wang Kuang's lone army was in the north, and it was really dangerous.

"It's the seventh day now, let Zilong prepare to respond, and we will withdraw tomorrow and cross the river from Ao Cang to Hanoi! We entered Luoyang from Hanoi!! ”

"What about Yuan Shao?"

"Tell me the truth, just say that the tiger is strong, just want to see if Hanoi has a chance, rest assured, his mind is not on Dong Zhuo at all now.

You didn't attend the meeting today, just came from Nanyang, after Sun Jian was named the assassin of Yuzhou, he immediately entered Yingchuan, and made Li Min the Taishou of Yingchuan from the surface department, and seized Yangcheng and other places.

Sun Ce got the news and escaped from the camp with his cronies, Kong Ling just clamored for Yuan Shao to help, the scene was wonderful! ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "The Yuan brothers can't help each other, he will be defeated because of this!" ”

Ma Qiang nodded and said, "So now Yuan Shao's mind is on how to consolidate his identity as the leader of the alliance, anyway, Yuan Shu doesn't seem to listen to him." ”

After hearing this, Jia Xu nodded and said, "In this way, I'm afraid that no one from the allied forces will take the initiative to attack Tiger Pass." ”

That is, Kong Ling, who suffered the most serious losses in the previous World War, is now almost unable to keep his home, and Yuan Shao, who is the boss, has not said anything at all, so who will take the initiative.

No, maybe there is someone who still wants to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty...

"In that case, let's do it like this, I'll go see Yuan Shao!"

After Ma Qiang finished arranging, he returned to the big tent, but found that there was no noise in the big tent, and the air pressure was very low.

Something went wrong?

Yuan Shao saw Ma Qiang coming in, and said, "Ma Pingyuan is here, just now, the sergeant came to report, Dahonglu Han Rong came to persuade peace with the edict of the Son of Heaven, and we are discussing what to do." ”
