A tall and majestic city wall stands in front of the mountains, and the city is full of soldiers and armor, and the banners are all over the place, showing an incomparably solemn appearance. The original word "revolving door" on the city gate has long been replaced and changed to "tiger prison". All the soldiers of the Dong army are circulating in private, so Dong Gong changed the name of the revolving gate pass to the Tiger Prison Pass, not only has the military intention of using the Xiongguan to lock the eastern heroes, but also metaphorically will stand side by side with King Zhou Mu, who has accumulated tigers here in the past.

On a high ground in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, there are also large camps set down, and countless "Dong" and "Lu" banners are waving in the wind. The entire barracks outside the fence tower is towering, and the trenches are all over the place, although it is not as strong as the tiger prison, but it is also well defended.

Any general with a little military literacy will be amazed as long as he climbs high and looks into the distance. Just because the Tiger Prison Pass and that camp are one mile and one away, one is positive and one is strange, echoing each other from afar, and each other is horns, no matter which place the enemy captures, it will definitely be attacked by another place, and if the enemy army divides the troops to attack, it is the original intention of the defenders to disperse the enemy's strength.

More than ten miles outside the Tiger Prison Pass, a boundless company camp has been set up, and at least 270,000 Eastern Coalition troops have set up camp here. But seeing people like ants, ten thousand tents to the sky, its momentum and military strength are really heartstrings, and it gives birth to a terrifying heart that is difficult to match.

Occupying the surrounding geographical advantages, groups of coalition soldiers are cutting wood and materials, making siege equipment on the spot, under the day and night of a large number of manpower, a number of powerful and majestic large-scale equipment has begun to take shape, and the completion is just around the corner, and the air is filled with the tense atmosphere of the imminent outbreak of the war.

On a hill a few miles away from the coalition camp, Lu Bu stood with his sword on his sword, looking at the busy scene inside and outside the coalition camp, and he couldn't help but have a sneer of disdain on his lips.

Nearly 300,000 troops seem to be powerful, but more than 60% of its troops are newly recruited, and their combat strength is lackluster, and they are not at all the enemy of the elite veterans of Liangzhou and Bingzhou. However, there are many generals in the coalition army, but there is a lack of famous generals who are good at command. Even famous figures like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are just newcomers on the battlefield. On the other hand, the generals of Dong Jun, Xu Rong, Hu Zhen, Guo Yan, Li Dao, Hua Xiong, Zhang Liao and other generals, are all talented in blocking one side......

As he thought, he couldn't help but clench his fists, his eyes full of helplessness. If it weren't for the heavy losses that might be brought about by the head-on battle and the constraints of Niu Fu, who was guarding the tiger prison, he was afraid that he would have brazenly sent troops and took the initiative to attack the coalition camp.

"General Lu!" A personal soldier called softly behind him: "The battalion has sent someone to report that the four generals Song Xian, Wei Xu, Cheng Lian, and Hao Meng have commanded 10,000 troops and escorted a large amount of grain and grass through the Tiger Prison!" ”

"Okay!" Lu Bu slapped his palms. Xi said: "With these 10,000 old brothers and a large amount of grain and grass, the general is more determined in his heart....... he can consider taking the initiative to attack!" ”

"Isn't it?" Xu Rong happened to come over, and when he heard this, he was stunned and said: "Dong Gong just sent an order the day before yesterday, ordering me to wait to defend the tiger prison and not attack easily......."

"Dong Gong's thoughts, how could he not know?" Lu Bu smiled and said: "The coalition army is nearly 300,000, how huge is the daily consumption of people eating horses and chewing?" And there are different ways of logistics and supply, which is very prone to transportation interruptions. Dong Gong is planning to consume their military food and the army's morale will be chaotic. That's when the thunderous blow is launched! ”

"Dong Gong is right to think so!" He sighed softly, "Yet he still ignores one of the biggest variables...... Southern Hawk! ”

"Him?" Xu Rong's eyes flashed with jealousy: "Not bad! The joint efforts of the Bohai Navy and the Changsha Army are indeed not to be taken lightly, and our army has already learned a lesson with blood...... However, they have limited forces after all, and they can't pose much of a threat to us! ”

"You're still underestimating him!" Lu Bu was a little uncertain and said: "On that day, tens of thousands of troops of Nanying flew across the Yellow River in one day. The two-sided attack of our army completely failed...... Have you ever thought about another possibility? That is, will the Bohai Navy use its powerful naval fleet to transport large troops directly to the rear of our army? ”

"This!" Xu Rong was shocked and exclaimed: "Now Luoyang is empty, and Dong Gong is in danger!" ”

"So this general, I have to think about clearing the frontal enemy as soon as possible!" Lu Bu let out a long sigh: "If our army is dragged to death by Yuan Shao's army. Then the consequences are unpredictable! ”

"General Lu!" Zhang Liao rushed over with a shocked face: "I just received an express report that about 45,000 soldiers and horses of the Bohai and Changsha armies have crossed the Yellow River. Heading for the Tiger Prison Pass! ”

"What?" Lu Bu and Xu Rong shouted in unison.

Xu Rong looked relieved, while Lu Bu was even more shocked and muttered, "What kind of person is Nan Hanyang? How could you give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! He didn't go to attack Luoyang, but came to fight to the death in front of the Tiger Prison Pass....... what was this for? ”

"In order to defeat the Dong army in a dignified manner, in order to break their most powerful force in one fell swoop!" Nanying rode beside the road, looking at the army rushing by like a torrent, and said to Sun Jian on his side: "As Wentai said, we are the real orthodox royal division, if the soldiers act treacherously and ignore hundreds of thousands of friendly troops, then even if they finally grab the results of the battle, they will definitely be criticized by people with ulterior motives!" ”

"There is one more crucial reason! Wentai, please think about it," he said with some solemnity: "If our army attacks Luoyang, it may be able to take it in one fell swoop, but Dong Zhuo's first evil will not be eliminated, we will face Han Sui, Ma Teng and the rest of Dong Zhuo stationed in Chang'an in the west at the same time, and there are more than 100,000 horses of Lu Bu behind him....... wouldn't we be in a desperate situation?" ”

"So you think so thoroughly!" Sun Jian's heart palpitated for a while, and he nodded and said: "It is indeed my greed for merit....... it seems that the only way to do this is to move forward step by step!" ”

He thought for a while, and then said abruptly: "Brother Wei is bent on taking Luoyang and becoming a hero of the country who has set things right, but he has committed a taboo in the army!" Fortunately, Han Yang's eyes were clear and woke me up in time! ”

"Brother Wentai, the so-called imperial capital is just a city!" Nan Ying smiled indifferently: "In this troubled world, the emperor is like an island in the turbulent waves, anyone who takes it for himself may suffer a catastrophe....... or try to annihilate the enemy's living force, and at the same time strengthen itself!" ”

"Han Yang's words are true!" Sun Jian nodded happily: "But I don't know how our army will carry out the strategy operation before arriving at the Tiger Prison Pass?" ”

"Then it depends on how Lu Bu acts...... Nan Ying smiled: "If he dares to fight, of course he is in my arms, all the princes will become worms, and if they are together, they will become tigers, they will definitely not give up the opportunity to become famous in a battle, we can drive them to think that they are forwards!" ”

"If Dong Jun sticks to the pass, what should he do?" Sun Jian was a little worried: "If I am Dong Zhuo, as long as I defend the Tiger Prison Pass, I can calmly defend and attack!" ”

"Wouldn't that be better?" Nan Ying smiled a little ill-willed: "The Dong army is mainly cavalry, and they are good at field warfare, if they give up their long and short to complete defense, then Yuan Benchu will have the opportunity to fight with them on an equal footing....... at that time, you and my brother can use the navy to penetrate directly behind the enemy and attack the enemy's baggage convoy!" ”

He laughed: "It can not only replenish the supplies of our army, but also shake the morale of the enemy, and also train the soldiers to have the ability to quickly raid...... Where can I find such a good errand? ”

Lu Bu was indeed a little undecided, he considered it again and again, but it was always difficult to make a decision, so he had to convene the generals to hold a military meeting.

"Yuan Shao and Nanying joined forces, and their military strength should not be underestimated!" Xu Rong spoke first: "If our army attacks rashly, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve results, not to mention, and there is a risk of losing troops and losing generals!" ”

The analysis of other people's morale and destroying their own prestige is said for such a long time, but there is rarely anyone in the big tent who refutes it. Whether it is Hua Xiong, Guo Yan, Hu Zhen and other Liangzhou generals, or Zhang Liao and other generals of the state, they all show the color of approval of the facts.

"Humph!" Lu Bu felt angry for a while, and he sneered: "I have heard that the Liangzhou army must take the lead in the battle, and there has never been cowardice, how can you be afraid of the enemy today?" ”

"General Lu! It's not that we are waiting for cowardice..."Among the generals in Liangzhou, Wang Fang flashed out of the ranks, and said with some difficulty: "The last general received the news that General Ma Yun Luoma, the sister of General Han Sui and the sister of General Ma Teng, is now in the Bohai Navy, and has successively recruited nearly 1,000 of my Liangzhou sergeants......."

"Is that the woman next to Ying Yang Zhonglang?" Lu Bu was stunned, and suddenly remembered the scene of meeting Nanying in the mountains that day, and he couldn't believe it: "How did she do it?" ”

"And rightfully so!" Hua Xiong stood up and said with a wry smile: "General Lu may not know how powerful she is...... When the eldest lady of the Ma family was young, she was already a famous woman in the northwest, and her skills were superb but she had the style of Meng taste, not to mention the Qiang people, even Tu Ming, Karasuma and other clans also received a lot of grace, and many warriors of all ethnic groups regarded it as a goddess-like existence, and its prestige was high, even far beyond Han and Ma! ”

He spread his hands and said: "Even Han and Ma are so heroic, they are afraid of her, and at least thirty percent of the soldiers in our army are subordinates from the two generals of Han and Ma, where do they dare to disobey the will of the eldest lady of the Ma family?" ”

"According to what you say, aren't the Liangzhou soldiers in our army useless?" Lu Bu gasped when he heard this, and said in a lost voice: "Can this battle still be fought?" ”

"You can't say that!" Hua Xiong said a little helplessly: "In the future, when the generals are arranging their troops, it is best to reduce the chances of the Liangzhou Army and the Bohai Navy directly facing the enemy, otherwise if Miss Ma comes forward to obstruct it, the generals will be nothing, and ordinary soldiers are only afraid that the army's heart will be shaken!" ”

"This Nan Han Yang has really made a peerless confidant!" Lu Bu smiled dumbly: "Okay, I understand what you mean!" The cavalry of the Liangzhou army was sharp, and the cavalry of the Bohai Navy was also equal, and the general did not want to make the two sides touch...... Good! The general has made up his mind, so he will use the Liangzhou army as the main force to meet Yuan Shao's army, and the Bingzhou army will respond to it and contain the two armies of Bohai and Changsha! What do the generals think? ”

The generals were about to respond to the promise, when they suddenly heard a person outside the tent shouting: "Wait, there is a plan, you can break the enemy!" ”

"Who?" Lu Bu's eyes were as sharp as a knife, he stared at the person outside the tent who was slowly pacing into the tent, and suddenly showed joy: "It turned out to be you!" ”

The man was thin and handsome, with three long beards and no mess, and on his elegant face, a pair of eyes were full of essence, showing his strong skills.

He happily bowed his hand and said: "Wuyuan Li Su, on the order of Dong Gong, I am here to serve under the account of the first general!" (To be continued......)
