Liu Zheng only smiled faintly after hearing Zhou Cang's words.

"Zhou Cang, what's the hurry, are you still afraid that there will be no battle to fight? Looking at this tiger prison, such a tall city wall, I still have a headache. ”

"Headache, headache what? Isn't it just a stone wall? If Qu Shuai wants to fight, I have a way. ”

Liu Zheng originally said it casually, but at this time he heard Zhou Cang say that he had a way to be interested, although he didn't think that Zhou Cang's method could really bring him much help in attacking the Tiger Prison Pass, but it was not wrong to listen to it more.

At that moment, Liu Zheng asked directly at Zhou Cang.

"Oh, what's the solution? Tell me about it? ”

"It's not simple, this tiger prison looks strong, but in fact there are not many defenders in it, if we really want to fight, throw it directly from the cliffs on both sides, a large amount of wood and then light a rocket and shoot it on the city tower to set fire, you can burn this tiger prison."

Zhou Cang's words made Liu Zheng's eyes light up, he didn't expect that he could do this before.

Before, all Liu Zheng thought about was besieging the Tiger Prison Pass, and then cutting off the water and food in the Tiger Prison Pass, and within three or two months, these soldiers and horses in the Tiger Prison Pass would go out to fight him to the death.

If you do that, you can lay down the tiger prison, but three or two months is too long. The officers and military reinforcements around had enough time to rush over to support, and when there were many people and horses, the idea of fighting the Tiger Pass was not to face thousands of soldiers and horses in the Tiger Pass, but to add reinforcements from all over the country.

However, if Zhou Cang's method is followed, although the door of the Tiger Prison cannot be directly broken, it can accelerate the consumption of food and water in the Tiger Prison.

At that time, I am afraid that these soldiers and horses in the Tiger Prison Pass will be difficult to hold on for three or five days.

"Zhou Cang, your method is good, but we don't need to attack the Tiger Prison Pass now, it won't have much effect to attack the Tiger Prison Pass now, after all, the situation is still unclear."

"What situation?"

"The situation in Luoyang and Jizhou."

"We have to wait to see what Luoyang will do, whether to send troops to reinforce the Tiger Prison Pass, or to be undecided. At the same time, it also depends on Jizhou, whether the three major lieutenant generals who are fighting with General Tiangong will send troops back to help. ”

"Well, if they send troops back to help, and a large number of soldiers and horses gather at the Tiger Prison Pass, we will not fight the Tiger Prison Pass, but flee from here?"

Zhou Cang listened to Liu Zheng's words, thought about it and asked rhetorically.

Liu Zheng smiled faintly and immediately vetoed Zhou Cang's words.

"On the contrary, if Luoyang and Jizhou send people to support the Tiger Prison Pass, this Tiger Prison Pass must be fought!"

"Why is that?"

When Zhou Cang heard Liu Zheng's words, he was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled.

Xu You, who was still standing aside and drinking wine, heard Zhou Cang's puzzlement, and immediately interjected.

"Brother Zhoucang, let me tell you, if the imperial court and the three major Zhonglang generals of Jizhou send troops to besiege us, we occupy the Tiger Prison Pass and occupy the geographical advantage, and at the same time, we can contain these two groups of people here."

"In this way, not only can we contain some of the soldiers and horses for General Tiangong in Jizhou, but at the same time, once we are here, defeat the army from Luoyang and the army of General Zhonglang who came to support, then Luoyang will not be like an empty city, giving us a reason to attack Luoyang."

Xu You simply explained two sentences, but Zhou Cang was confused.

"Ah, why are you still involved in attacking Luoyang? Haven't we even hit the Tiger Prison yet? ”

"Hehe, as long as we can lay down the Tiger Prison, Luoyang may also be defeated by us."

Xu You said affirmatively again, making Liu Zheng glance at Xu You. greatly praised Xu You's cleverness, as long as he mentioned it, Xu You could guess what Liu Zheng was thinking.

"Mr. Xu Yu is still smart to you."

"Qu Shuai praised it falsely, I am not as smart as Qu Shuai, I can only think of it after Qu Shuai thinks of this."

Just when Liu Zheng was chatting with Xu You, Zhou Cang and others, Xu Huang hurriedly walked over from outside.

"Qu Shuai, my men and horses have found that there are two groups of soldiers and horses on the north and east sides of the Tiger Prison Pass."

As soon as Xu Huang approached, he reported to Liu Zheng what he had discovered.

These words attracted the attention of Liu Zheng and others, and they hurriedly asked Xu Huang for details.

"Xu Huang, can you find out who these two people are?"

"Hui Qu Shuai, it should be from Hexi County and Henan Yin area to rush over to support the reinforcements of Tiger Pass."

This place is more special, although he belongs to the Sili area, but because of the Yellow River, he is close to Hedong, Hexi and Hongnong counties.

In the event of a war in Tiger Pass, the men and horses of several surrounding counties can bring people over to support in a short time.

Since the soldiers and horses that appeared at the moment were not coming from the direction of Luoyang, they were obviously county soldiers from Hedong, Hexi and other places.

It is unlikely that the soldiers and horses in Hedong will appear, after all, Dong Zhuo was the Taishou of Hedong before. When he attacked Liu Zheng before, Dong Zhuo had almost recruited the township warriors of Hedong County, and there was no way to organize a force that might compete with Liu Zheng.

Therefore, only Hexi County and Henan Yin may have reinforcements near the Tiger Prison Pass.

"My lord, as far as I know, the name of the Taishou of Hexi is Wang Yi, and he is a student of Liu Kuan, the current Taiwei. And Henan Yin seems to be called He Miao, the younger brother of He Jin, the general of the dynasty. ”

Just when Liu Zheng guessed that the person was reinforcements from Hexi and Henan, Xu Yu on the side immediately told some of the information he knew.

When Liu Zheng heard it, that Wang Yi was not famous in history, Liu Zheng had not heard of it much, although he was a student of Taiwei Liu Kuan, but Liu Zheng was not even familiar with the name Liu Kuan, so he ignored it even more.

It's Henan Yin Hemiao, this person, Liu Zheng knows a lot.

Speaking of which, this guy was not originally called He Miao, but Zhu Miao.

Because He Jin's father married a stepmother, the current Queen He remains, and He Miao is the child born to this stepmother and her ex-husband.

He Miaosui is He Jin's younger brother, but he has no half-dime blood relationship with He Jin, only a half-brother and sister relationship with the queen of the current dynasty.

He Miao has always been at odds with He Jin, although the two sides are superficial brothers, they don't have much intersection in private.

The reason why he was able to become Henan Yin was also because he had a good sister.

Although He Miao in history had some merits during the Yellow Turban Uprising and was promoted to marquis, in Liu Zheng's view, He Miao and He Jin are all wastes, and even He Miao is even more waste than He Jin.

These two people, who appeared near the Tiger Prison Pass, were not a threat to Liu Zheng.
