In front of the Tiger Prison Pass, the tragic offensive and defensive battles showed an increasingly fierce trend. After successfully breaking the defensive formation of the Dong army, the morale of the coalition army was even stronger, and they invested heavy troops for many days to carry out a strong attack, and at the same time opened tunnels and dug trenches, and gradually advanced the attack position towards the front of the Tiger Pass.

Cao Cao's subordinates, who went deep into the mountains, immediately changed their conservative tactics after hearing the good news, and launched a crowd offensive almost at any cost, and at the same time, a coalition army of about 10,000 people also drove into the mountains to reinforce, and after a series of fierce battles, Li Dao could barely support it several times. Knowing that Cao Cao was going to force the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass to divide their troops to help, but the situation was critical, if Cao Cao broke through the mountain road, Tiger Prison Pass would be completely in a desperate situation of being attacked by the enemy.

Just when Lü Bu and Niu Fu were holding their own opinions on the division of troops, Dong Zhuo sent Li Su to Tiger Prison Pass again and conveyed the latest instructions to them......

On the second day, Guo Yan led 10,000 troops out of the pass, went directly to the mountains to reinforce Li Dao, and began a strong counterattack at the beginning of arriving at the battlefield, and both armies suffered heavy casualties. Cao Cao was so uncertain that he had to suspend the offensive, and the two armies once again faced off.

And before the Tiger Pass, the offensive and defensive battles of this day reached the climax since the beginning of the war, just when the 30,000 coalition troops attacked the city pass again, and wanted to retreat and recuperate, the three gates of the eastern line of the Tiger Prison Pass were opened, and Lu Bu personally led 5,000 cavalry to rush out of the pass, and beat the coalition forces that were organizing the retreat.

Dong Jun's unusually defensive turn into offensive on two battlefields caught many coalition generals off guard, and for a while, the tent was full of people, and countless fingers poked around on the map, almost piercing the map.

All the voices eventually converged into one question, whether Dong Jun's unconventional tactics meant that they were about to receive sufficient reinforcements from the west. So that it can be completely unafraid of the threat of the huge naval division of the Bohai Navy, and can also calmly divide troops to rescue the Tiger Prison Pass?

The result of the discussion was inconsistent, and in the end, Yuan Shao made a final decision: no matter what, the current coalition forces have the initiative and advantage, and if the Dong army will receive reinforcements, then it is even more important to break through the tiger prison as soon as possible!

The entire huge coalition army system was fully mobilized, and all the troops that could fight were concentrated after emergency mobilization, and even the Bohai and Changsha armies, which had been saying that they were urgently waiting to rest after the war, also sent 5,000 soldiers and horses under Yuan Shao's hard persuasion. Get ready to join the final showdown.

Two days later, just as the coalition army had gathered 120,000 troops, preparing to break through the four sections of the city wall and take the tiger prison at all costs, they suddenly opened their mouths and found that in addition to the banners and a large number of straw men, the Dong army could no longer be found on the tiger prison.

Cao Cao in the mountains immediately lost no time in advancing step by step after discovering the retreat of Li Dao's troops, but was ambushed by the enemy troops who withdrew from the Tiger Prison Pass, and suffered heavy casualties.

When Dong's army of about 55,000 people will be united. After calmly retreating in the direction of Luoyang, Cao Cao finally regrouped his leading army and allied forces to meet in front of the Tiger Prison Pass.

Seeing that the city pass, which had been stormed for many days, was finally stepped on, the coalition generals had no joy in their hearts, but instead had an ominous premonition together...... What exactly does Dong Zhuo want to do?

In front of the Bohai Navy. Nanying was staring ahead in a daze, and countless coalition soldiers were pouring into the majestic Tiger Prison Pass like a thin trickle, bursting out from time to time with bursts of mighty military trumpets, which made people can't help but be enthusiastic. And he was at a loss......

"It's finally time to show up the dagger!" Jia Xu rode his horse behind him and said softly, "And the lord is also facing the most important choice...... Regardless of success or failure in this battle, our Bohai Sea will inevitably become the target of the public after Dong Zhuo. There is no room for manoeuvre! ”

"What should I do?" Nan Ying sighed and said, "Wenhe, please teach me!" ”

"Forgive your sins! I can't teach you! Jia Xu bowed slightly and said in a low voice: "When the first emperor was here, he actually thought of the appearance of today's situation...... He worked hard, all kinds of follow-ups, isn't it all for today? ”

"This bastard!" Nan Ying suddenly scolded: "Lao Tzu finally understands...... But why didn't he want to think about my feelings? And how do you feel about discerning children and co-children? ”

"I really want to point at that faint gentleman's nose and scold him fiercely!" His eyes erupted with fire, and he said angrily: "And you Lao Jia, you already know?" Why didn't you warn sooner? What kind of strategist and advisor are you? ”

"The lord is wrong!" Jia Xu said with an innocent face: "Xu is just a mortal, even if he thinks of this possibility, it is impossible to predetermine it anyway...... After all, today's situation is only a possibility today! ”

He looked at Nan Ying, whose face was pale, and shook his head slightly: "Lord, you don't need to pretend to be wronged here...... On that day, in front of the generals of the coalition army, you swore that you would guarantee the name of our army's righteousness! You've already had this awareness, haven't you? ”

"I feel...... It seems like he's just a marionette! Nanying's face turned even greener: "This feeling is really uncomfortable!" ”

"Endure the pain that consumes the soul for the sake of the overall situation, and finally lead us to victory......" Jia Xu's calm eyes radiated a wise light, and he sighed softly: "This is you, as a lord's responsibility!" ”

"Don't say it anymore......" Nan Ying exhaled a turbid breath fiercely, and waved his arm as if he was venting: "The whole army!" Enter! ”

On the top of the golden hall with a strong atmosphere, a sharp voice shouted: "Taixiang Marquis is here!" ”

Dong Zhuo, who had a gloomy face, pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, stepped on his feet, and stepped on one filthy footprint after another on the smooth mirror-like ground, and finally stood under the dragon steps.

He arched his hand towards Liu Xie, the queen of the dragon: "Your Majesty, the old minister is polite!" ”

Liu Xie's eyes fell on the line of footprints, and a trace of anger obviously flashed, but he pretended to be careless: "It turned out to be Dong Qing...... I heard that you inspected the defense of Chang'an, why did you return to the imperial capital so quickly? ”

"Your Majesty doesn't know yet?" Dong Zhuo Muran said: "In the east, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Nanying and other unsubordinate thieves rebelled, and now they have taken the Tiger Prison Pass, and they will be trapped in the imperial capital in three days at the latest...... Does the old minister still have the heart to take care of other trivial matters? ”

"Dong Qing is cautious!" When Liu Xie heard the name of "Nanying", he couldn't help but twist his body: "If it is said that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are chaotic ministers and thieves, Nanying Yang is the person who personally gave the Son of Heaven the imperial decree of the first emperor, if he is also a chaotic party, wouldn't he teach the world to laugh at the first emperor's knowledge?" ”

"Your Majesty is young, but he knows filial piety!" Dong Zhuo said unceremoniously: "The first emperor has passed away, if he has a spirit in the sky, he will definitely be saddened by Nanying's rebellion today...... Please give an order on behalf of Emperor Xian to deprive Nanying of the Son of Heaven Imperial Decree, so as to prevent his people from continuing to cause trouble in the world under the pretense of heaven's will! ”

"Did this work?" Liu Xie was stunned and said: "If the three-sided Son of Heaven token gathers in the hands of one person, even the Son of Heaven has no right to recapture ......"

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about this!" Dong Zhuo said impatiently: "As long as you announce the world, it will naturally make Nanying no longer able to use the token as he wants in the future...... The premise is that Your Majesty will not approve of it in the first place! ”

Liu Xie was stunned again, and without waiting for him to speak, he heard Dong Zhuo sneer: "Your Majesty, don't forget, Nanying is the other against me...... And I am the only loyal minister who truly supports His Majesty! Without me, who knows if those thieves would endanger His Majesty's throne? ”

Liu Xie's small body trembled slightly, and finally said dejectedly: "Okay! I immediately issued an edict announcing the recapture of Nanying's Son of Heaven Token! ”

"And that's not all!" Dong Zhuo unscrupulously stepped on the first-level dragon steps and stared at Liu Xie: "Your Majesty has to do one more thing!" ”

"What's the matter?" Liu Xie was obviously a little flustered, he subconsciously avoided Dong Zhuo's aggressive and rude gaze, and said: "Whatever happens to Dong Qing, I will not be sure!" ”

"Good!" Dong Zhuo took another step forward: "In order for Your Majesty to be able to consolidate the country forever....... three days later, please ask Your Majesty to drive the expedition in person, reprimand the rebel army in front of the two armies, and make them immediately abandon their weapons and surrender, and tell the world with an edict!" ”

"What?" Liu Xie was so shocked that he almost turned over from behind Long Ji. Driving a personal expedition? And to reprimand the rebels and make them surrender? The ghost knows that it is absolutely impossible for those princes to surrender, isn't this to put the golden body of his son of heaven in the rain of swords and arrows?

"Nope! Cannot! He was shocked and said: "Although I am the Son of Heaven, after all, I am only eight years old....... how can I come to the battle line in person?" ”

"Do you still know that you are the Son of Heaven?" Dong Zhuo said solemnly: "If you can't exercise the power of the Son of Heaven, are you still the Son of Heaven?" ”

Listening to Dong Zhuo's pun threat, Liu Xie finally compromised, and he almost cried: "Okay...... I just play it! (To be continued......)
