"Wang Yi, He Miao. Don't worry, how many people did they bring? ”

The soldiers and horses of Luoyang did not come, and the three major Zhonglang generals of Jizhou did not come, but the people who came were the surrounding Taishou.

This result surprised Liu Zheng.

However, it can be regarded as a reinforcement to some extent, which can make him feel some jealousy.

"There should be seven or eight thousand people in Hexi, and there are nearly 10,000 people in Henan."

Xu Huang quickly told Liu Zheng the news that Liu Zheng wanted to know.

After Liu Zheng listened, he nodded, these two groups of men and horses together are only more than 10,000 people, and they are nothing against the 50,000 army under his command. If you really want to fight, they have a big advantage.

Liu Zheng originally wanted to take people to destroy these two forces first, but when he thought that the direction of Luoyang and Jizhou had not yet come to fruition, and he didn't want to act rashly, once the soldiers and horses he arranged here in the Tiger Prison Pass took action, in case he was ambushed by the official army, then his plan to defeat the official army here would be greatly affected.

"Qu Shuai, the men and horses of Wang Yi are stationed in Guangwu County at this time, and He Miao's men and horses are stationed in Xingyang County, the two places are not far apart, I estimate that they want to join forces together, and then advance towards the Tiger Prison Pass to resist us."

Xu Huang synthesized the news he found and told Liu Zheng.

"Didn't they hurry to the Tiger Prison Pass?"

"No, they marched very slowly, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry to come, perhaps because they knew that we didn't attack the city, but just surrounded the Tiger Pass."

"Well, I see, since they are not in a hurry, we are not in a hurry."

"Then let them join forces together, wait for two more days to see, by the way, Xu Huang, you continue to send the scouts to farther places, I want to know as much as possible the intelligence of Jizhou, especially the dynamics of the three major Zhonglang generals."

At present, there are no people on Luoyang's side, Liu Zheng guesses that Luoyang will no longer send troops and horses, so he can only focus on Jizhou.

After all, Jizhou and Luoyang are far apart, even if there is news, it will take a few days to pass through, and it will take time for the three major Zhonglang generals to react, so it is normal that there is not much movement in just two days.

Liu Zheng's men and horses waited for another two days in the Tiger Prison Pass, and as soon as the two days passed, there was finally news from Jizhou.

A good news and a bad news reached Liu Zheng's hands at the same time.

The good news is that the three major Zhonglang generals finally couldn't sit still, and sent Lu Zhi, leading an army of 20,000 people, triggered from Jizhou, and rushed to the Tiger Prison Pass.

The army of officials and troops that Liu Zheng was waiting for finally came, and he finally had an excuse to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, otherwise the three major Zhonglang generals would never appear, but would attack the Zhang Jiaobu in Jizhou with all their might, even if Liu Zheng dared to defeat the Tiger Prison Pass, he would not dare to attack Luoyang.

Now that Lu Zhi is leaving, leaving Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo in Jizhou, the pressure on Zhang Jiao's headquarters has been greatly reduced, and he will definitely be able to fight against the official army for a longer time, at least it will be no problem to help Liu Zheng contain the two Zhonglang.

And Liu Zheng also clearly knew that his enemy was Lu Zhi's 20,000 soldiers and horses, plus the county soldiers gathered from Hexi and Henan, and the soldiers and horses of the three parties added up, close to 40,000.

The bad news is that before Lu Zhi went to the Tiger Prison Pass, he teamed up with Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo to launch a fierce attack on Zhang Jiao of Julu City, and finally broke through the Julu City guarded by Zhang Jiao at the cost of losing thousands of elites.

forced Zhang Jiao and some of the Yellow Turban Army to retreat to Anping County. The morale of the Yellow Turbans plummeted. Even Zhang Mancheng's troops, who went to support Zhang Jiao, suffered heavy losses, with more than half of the 100,000 troops.

These two news reached Liu Zheng's ears, and Liu Zheng fell into deep thought at once.

Originally, he came to besiege the Tiger Prison Pass to relieve Zhang Jiao's pressure, but now that Zhang Jiao has been beaten back, the pressure on Liu Zheng has increased.

If he continues to attack Tiger Prison Pass and threaten Luoyang, it is very likely that next, the military focus of the imperial court will not be Zhang Jiao, but he Liu Zheng.

But now that they have come to this place, they are in a dilemma, and Liu Zheng has no other choice but to continue on with it.

When he received that Lu Zhi had already set off and came over near this tiger prison pass, Liu Zheng immediately began to let the army, which had rested for a few days and had not moved, take action.

"Xu Huang!"

"The end will be."

"Order you to lead 5,000 elite soldiers and 1,000 elite cavalry to the direction of Jizhou to defeat Wangyi He Miao, and be sure to destroy some of their troops before they join Lu Zhi's army!"

"The last general commands!"

Liu Zheng quickly commanded Xu Huang, and Xu Huang immediately took the order.

Then, Liu Zheng glanced at Zhou Cang again.

"Zhou Cang!"

"The end will be."

"Order you to lead an army of 20,000 to cooperate with General Huang Zhong to rush into the Tiger Prison Pass from the two mountain cliffs, throw wood, and use the beacon fire as a signal to ignite the Tiger Prison Pass!"

"The last general obeys!"

"Sun Xia!"

"The last general!"

"Order you to lead 30,000 people from your headquarters to go to the Tiger Prison Pass to call for battle, attract the attention of the Tiger Prison Pass, cooperate with Zhou Cang, and burn the Tiger Prison Pass!"

"The last general obeys!"

Liu Zheng made some arrangements, waved himself down 50,000 horses, and immediately dispatched all of them.

He himself led a thousand soldiers to supervise the battle in front of the Tiger Prison Pass.

Now that he is in this position, he no longer needs to fight in person, he only needs to be in charge of the overall situation.

The generals and soldiers who received the order immediately began to mobilize urgently.

Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses outside the Tiger Prison Pass began to move, and naturally quickly attracted the attention of the soldiers and horses guarding the city in the Tiger Prison Pass.

Sun Xia had Liu Zheng's order and led 30,000 horses to begin a large-scale attack on Tiger Pass.

Although it was only a feint, in order to achieve a realistic effect, they did start to rush forward in the first wave of attacks.

Zhou Cang's soldiers and horses have taken the lead in the first two days, all the firewood needed to be cut down, and piled up in good condition, with a few days of preparation, Liu Zheng and they have made a lot of corresponding preparations in order to attack the Tiger Pass.

The wood and oil needed to burn the Tiger Prison have already been arranged in advance, and as long as the personnel are in place, the plan of burning the Tiger Prison can be directly implemented.

And when Sun Xia led everyone to start attacking the city, these guards in the Tiger Prison naturally ignored the attacks that would appear on the cliffs on both sides.

So when Zhou Cang led his soldiers to start throwing firewood from the cliff to the city, they realized that something was wrong.

However, they thought that this was Liu Zheng's attack method of attacking the Tiger Prison Pass.

They didn't pay attention to what was being projected by the catapult, not rocks, but wood.
