Chapter 148: The Decisive Battle in the Tiger Prison

The natural danger is limited to the west and the east, and it is difficult to name the chemical work. The road invites the three Jin meetings, and the two rivers are overwhelmed. --------Northern song dynasty. Sima Guang "Tiger Prison Pass"

It is said that Diao Chan was rescued by Chen Long from the Luoyang Tiger Wolf's Den, and he has arrived in Lingling safely. Situ Wang Yun failed to make a series of plans, but he was retaliated against by Dong Zhuo, and was demoted to a petty official guarding the mausoleum, but he also saved his life.

But without a serial plan, if you want to eliminate Dong Zhuo's tyranny, there is only one way to resist. Chen Long was in Lingling, his heart was in Liangjing, and he and Xi Zhicai strategized several times, and finally decided on a good strategy to destroy Dong, involving the cooperation of many soldiers and horses. What worries Chen Long is that Lingling, the land of Longxing, has always been a safe rear, because of Liu Biaojun's movements, it is no longer absolutely safe.

The troops of Chang'an and Luoyang have strategically surrounded the Liangjing area, leaving only the gap in the direction of the Yellow River. Dong Zhuo holds Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and Xiliang, Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, and Luoyang Jiancheng, so he will naturally not be captured. For a time, the troops, grain, grass, and weapons in the Luoyang area were frequently mobilized, the civilian rations were looted, and almost all the middle-aged men were forcibly conscripted into the army, even the old people were also conscripted into the people's husbands, and the soldiers took advantage of the chaos to rob and rape from time to time, and the people of Luoyang fell into dire straits, and they all hoped that a savior would come.

The army of the fifteenth princes of the Dong Alliance, led by Yuan Shao, gathered outside the Tiger Prison Pass, with a total strength of 100,000 people, which can be described as the peak of the lineup, which is enough to make the Beijing division vibrate. Dong Zhuo sent Lü Bu's 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry and 5,000 infantry, as well as Xu Ronggong's 15,000 Liangzhou iron cavalry to defend Luoyang, with a total strength of 30,000 troops.

In the autumn of 187 A.D., the battle of Liangjing broke out, and along the Yellow River and carrying the Central Plains, the male soldiers were already gathered and the battle clouds were dense. The first to engage in the battle was the troops of Huangfu Song and Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, and the famous generals of the Huangfu Song generation, with superior troops, won the first victory, and quickly attracted the heavy cavalry troops of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and reinforced Fan Chou and Zhang Ji through Tongguan, and the field battle in the east of Chang'an fell into a stalemate.

Outside the Tiger Prison Pass, headed by Yuan Shao, a total of 15 princes and soldiers and horses were gathered, namely:

On the first road, Qi Xianghou, Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu, led 10,000 infantry, and served as the leader of the Dong Alliance;

the second road, Jizhou Mu Han Fu Han Wen Festival, leading 5,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry;

On the third road, Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zan Gongsun Boju, led 5,000 cavalry;

On the fourth road, Beihai Taishou Kong Rong Kong Wenju, led 5,000 infantry;

On the fifth road, Yuanwei of Maoqiao, Taishou Bridge of Dongjun, led 5,000 infantry;

On the sixth road, Shangdang guarded Zhang Yang and Uncle Zhang Zhi, leading 3,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry;

On the seventh road, Bao Xin and Bao Yuncheng, the prime minister of Jibei, led 5,000 infantry;

On the eighth road, Hanoi guarded Wang Kuang's festival and led 5,000 infantry;

The ninth road, Yanzhou assassin Liu Dai Liu Gongshan, led 3,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry;

On the tenth road, Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao and Zhang Mengzhuo, leading 10,000 infantry;

On the eleventh road, Xiao Cavalry Captain, Cao Cao Mengde, the self-led Qingzhou Thorn History, led 5,000 infantry;

On the twelfth road, Shanyang guarded Yuan Boye, the widow of Yuan, and led 5,000 infantry;

The thirteenth road, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling Kong Gongxu, led 5,000 infantry;

On the fourteenth road, Xuzhou thorn Shi Tao Qian Tao Gongzu, led 10,000 infantry;

On the fifteenth road, Guangling guarded Zhang Chao and Zhang Menggao, leading 5,000 infantry.

Fifteen soldiers and horses, gathered in the sour jujube area of Chenliu County, only 100 miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass, can be reached in ten days. At that time, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao had Zang Hong Zang Ziyuan, a strange man in the sea, and after discussing with his brother Zhang Miao, he decided to hold a swearing-in meeting in Suojube, and let Zang Hong speak, but intentionally or unintentionally ignored Yuan Shao's authority as the leader of the alliance, which foreshadowed the end of the collapse of the Dong Alliance.

When the altar was set up to take the oath, the princes of all walks of life gave in to each other and refused to go up to the altar to take the oath. So Zhang Chao recommended Zang Hong to go to the altar and swear. Zang Hong did not shirk, ascended to the altar and swore a blood oath, his tone was impassioned, his voice was full of emotion, and he exchanged tears, and delivered an inspiring speech, which can be described as deafening:

1. Denounce Dong Zhuo's atrocities: The Han family is unfortunate, the emperor is unified, and the thief Dong Zhuo takes advantage of the provocation and indulgence, adding disaster to the supreme, abusing the people, and fearing the loss of the community, covering the four seas.

2. Announce the list of benevolent and righteous people who fought against Dong: Yanzhou Assassin Shi Dai, Yuzhou Assassin Shi Ling, Chen Liutai Shou Miao, Dongjun Tai Shou Mao, Guangling Tai Shouchao, etc., entangled the volunteers, and went to the national disaster to swear to destroy Dong thieves.

3. Swear to the sky: All my alliance, work together, so that the ministers, the head of the mourning, will have no two ambitions. There is this alliance of Chongqing, and it is impossible to lose its life, and there is no legacy. The emperor and the queen of heaven, the ancestors and the spirits, are all learned!

Nanyang Yuan Shu Yuan Highway is also among the Dong Alliance, but this time there is no alliance. It was claimed that the troops were marching from the south of Luoyang, but the actual reason was, of course, for the sake of the jade seal promised by Lu Chang to contain Zhang Liao's troops in Luonan. Recently, Sun Jian, who was defeated by Gao Shun, led the remnants of his army to Yuan Shu, which increased Yuan Shu's strength and caused a lot of vibration.

Since then, the battle of Tiger Prison Pass has officially begun, and among Han Fu's team, there are three familiar figures, gray Liu Bei, green Guan Yu and black Zhang Fei. Although Liu Bei is a genuine imperial uncle, he has a lowly position, and with two peerless and powerful younger brothers, he is just a little-known horse step archer.

Zhang Miao's troops, the closest to the Tiger Prison Pass, set out from Chen Liu, and soon came to the pass to fight. Zhang Miao's subordinates include strategists Liu Yi and Dong Wan, and generals Chen Rong, Mao Hui and others, which can be regarded as having a good lineup and a monstrous momentum. Zhang Miao saw that the tiger prison was closed and lifeless, and ordered Chen Rong to immediately lead his subordinates to scold.

Chen Rong led people, and saw that a Lu character was faintly revealed at the hanging place of the flag, knowing that Lu Bu had arrived, and ordered the sergeant to scold Lu Bu for killing his father-in-law Ding Yuan in vain because of his own greed, and was willing to work for the tiger, which was really inferior to pigs and dogs. Lu Bu was a brainless temper, and he was not good at attacking in front of his subordinates, so he immediately draped his whole body, twisted the halberd in the palm of his hand, and the red rabbit horse jumped like a thunderstorm under his crotch, looking up to the sky and laughing: "Children! Who wants to go out of the city with me and take Zhang Miao's pile of chickens and dogs? ”

At that time, except for Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, and Zang Ba, who were guarding the southern suburbs of Luoyang, did not follow Lu Bu, the other six strong generals Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Chengdu were by their side. When the generals saw that Lu Bu wanted to go out of the pass and fight quickly, they all clamored, all of them were draped, dancing with swords, and were willing to follow. Lu Bu saw a group of brainless generals, and finally decided that Song Xian and Hou Cheng would guard the pass, and the rest of the four strong generals would lead the cavalry of their headquarters and rush out of the Tiger Prison Pass, bullying Chen Rong with few soldiers, and not arranging formations, and directly impacting the army.

Chen Rong suddenly saw that the door was wide open, and the cavalry was coming like a torrent, and the first red rabbit horse was galloping, rushing straight to him like lightning, and his heart was not good, and he roared, "Meet the enemy!" He was a little frightened at first, hiding behind the swarming archers and spearmen, picked up the bow and arrow, and aimed at the majestic Lu Bu on the red rabbit horse is arrow, and the archers under him immediately fired arrows with all their strength, but there were not many troops, and time was tight, and Lu Bu's cavalry still swept to the ground quickly like a dark cloud.

Lu Bu listened to the argument, the halberd flicked lightly, pushed Chen Rong's dark arrow away, and immediately found Chen Rong's position with the way of the arrow, his legs slightly clamped the horse's belly, the speed of the red rabbit horse increased, adjusted the direction slightly, and galloped in a straight line towards Chen Rong's place.

Chen Rong saw the heavy infantry in front of him, all of them were picked up into the air by Fang Tian's painting halberd, the red rabbit horse came like chopping waves, and he was sad for a while, and he turned around in fright and wanted to run, only to hear a long roar from behind him, "The enemy will be killed!"

Chen Rong listened to the voice behind him, as if he was poured down by a bucket of ice water, his blood seemed to be frozen in an instant, and he reluctantly returned to the gun to fight, and said in his heart that my life would be suspended!
