"I am the general of the chariot and the pastor of Jizhou, Yuan Shao!"

Yuan Shao's heart was full of hatred and anger, but he still shouted loudly: "You are Liangzhou Mu Li Mu...... Soldiers under your command? ”

"Exactly!"

Zhao Yunlang laughed loudly: "It's just a battle...... It's just a misunderstanding! Please also General Yuan Haihan! ”

"Who are you?"

Yuan Shaoqiang endured his anger, and shouted loudly: "Where is Wen Chou, Gao Lan? ”

"I am Zhao Yun, the captain of Fenwei under the command of Li Junhou!"

Zhao Yun laughed loudly again: "Wen Chou and Gao Ran don't want to be guests in Liangzhou, and now they have gone to Pinggao......"

"Zhao Yun! You go back and tell Li Mu that his gift is ...... I received it! On other days, there will be a return gift! ”

Yuan Shao stared at Zhao Yun's direction across the river, and shouted loudly.

"General Yuan, rest assured!"

Zhao Yun arched his hand in the direction of Yuan Shao, and then shouted in a deep voice: "On his day, my lord will definitely go to Jizhou!" ”

"Where is Your Majesty now?"

Yuan Shao thought of the purpose of this trip, and immediately shouted loudly.

"Right now, presumably...... Cao Zhou Mu has welcomed the Son of Heaven! ”

Zhao Yun smiled, and then shouted loudly: "General Yuan is so loyal to the monarch and the country, why don't you go to Yanzhou...... Meet the Son of Heaven? ”

"Withdraw!"

Yuan Shao's heart became more and more hateful, and then he turned the horse's head, shouted angrily, and rode away.

Zhao Yun was afraid that Yuan Shaojun would go and return, so he stayed in Wushejin until the next day before returning to the Chenggao line.

……

However, he said that when Ma led his troops to the thirty miles of the Tiger Prison Pass, he reported that the Cao army was stationed at the Tiger Prison Pass and was heavily guarded.

Ma immediately ordered the horse to explore again. Seeing that it was getting late, the horse immediately ordered the army to set up camp.

Just after the next hour, the horse led his troops forward to the Tiger Prison. No matter how the soldiers of Liangzhou scolded, the Cao army stationed on the Tiger Prison Pass never went out to meet the battle.

As a last resort, Ma had to retreat ten miles, set up camp again, and wait for news from his lord.

In fact, Xiahou Yuan, the commander of the Cao army, wanted to go out of the pass to meet the enemy in order to avenge Cheng Gao's defeat. However, Cao Ren and Mao Jue persuaded Xiahou Yuan.

Besides, when Li Mu and Fu Yan led their troops over Daling Mountain, out of the revolving gate pass, and made a detour all the way to thirty miles of the Tiger Prison Pass, it was already the next day's Shen time.

Just when Li Mu was about to set up camp, he reported that Cao's army had withdrawn from the Tiger Prison Pass two quarters of an hour ago, and had now withdrawn east to the front line of Longcheng.

Li Mu no longer hesitated, and immediately led his troops forward, and about two quarters of an hour later, the Liangzhou army came to the Tiger Prison Pass. At this time, the door of the Tiger Prison was wide open, and there was silence in the gate.

"Lord!"

Seeing that his lord wanted to enter the customs, Fu Yi hesitated a little in his heart, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Be careful that Cao Jun is cheating!" ”

"Don't worry about bravery!"

Li Mu smiled, and then Cheng Zhu said in his chest: "As I said before, the Cao army stationed at the Tiger Prison Pass is just slowing down the pursuit of our army. Now, Cao Jun has learned about our army's detour and attack, so he will naturally withdraw in advance! ”

"In this case, the last general will enter the customs first to investigate the enemy's situation."

Fu Yi nodded, but he was still a little worried about the safety of his lord, so he immediately gave a salute and said with a look of indignation: "If there is no abnormality, the lord will lead his troops into the customs again." Please also ask the Lord to be willing! ”

"Even if you are brave, you need to be careful!"

Li Mu couldn't resist Fu Yan, and then said in a solemn voice.

Fu Yan responded, and then took a thousand soldiers and entered the Tiger Prison Pass first. In about half an hour, the tiger prison closed and raised the flag of the Liangzhou Army.

"Welcome to the Lord!"

Just when Li Mu came to the gate, Fu Yan stepped over, gave a salute, and then handed the letter in his hand to Li Mu, "Lord, this letter is on the city tower. ”

"Oh...... And letters? ”

Li Mu jumped off the red dragon and opened the letter casually.

I saw that the letterhead read:

It's been a few years since I said goodbye to Luoyang, and I'm very worried about Ningchenghou! Yesterday I was in a hurry, and I couldn't talk about the feelings of the deceased with Ning Chenghou, and I deeply regretted it!

The Marquis of Ning Cheng once said, 'If you see it in the future, I am afraid that it will be on the battlefield'. I never thought that Ning Chenghou would be able to think so far. me so much!

At present, Guanzhong is tired and the two capitals are broken, and His Majesty has no choice but to come to Yanzhou. As a minister, you should do your best to report the emperor's favor and soothe the people, so as to live up to the grace of the Son of Heaven!

Tiger Prison Pass is the gateway to Guanzhong, and its dangerous terrain is also well known! Cao didn't want to start a war with the Marquis of Ningcheng, so he left the tiger prison in the Marquis of Ningcheng. I also hope that the Marquis of Ningcheng will have Longfu Wangshu!

Cao knows the military power of Liangzhou, and Cao also knows that the Marquis of Ningcheng is a person who is loyal to the monarch and the country, and he will definitely not raise troops and disturb His Majesty's holy drive. Cao has the old relationship with Benchugong and Xuande Gong, and the matter of discussing Dong is still yesterday. I also hope that Ningcheng Hou Si's ring will be there!

The Marquis of Ningcheng still needs to make a good living in Guanzhong, and in the future, he will definitely escort His Majesty back to the old capital. At that time, Cao will have a long talk with Ning Chenghou!

After reading Cao Cao's letter, Li Mu thought to himself: Cao Cao's meaning is very clear, that is, it is best for him to accept it when he sees it; If not, he Cao Cao will unite with Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, and crusade against himself like Dong Zhuo.

At the same time, Li Mu also knew in his heart that in terms of the current general trend, although Yuan Shao had a gap with himself, he would not easily form an offensive and defensive alliance with Cao Cao. Liu Beijun and Cao Jun are still in the honeymoon period, but soon, the two of them will also have a dispute.

Now that the tiger prison is in my hands, I, Li Mu, will give you Cao Mengde a face, and I will not compete with you for a while!

Li Mu put away Cao Cao's letter and walked to the city tower. Subsequently, Li Mu replied to Cao Cao with a letter, and there were only eight words in the letter - live in harmony and do your duty!

Two quarters of an hour later, Ma received Li Mu's military order and led his troops to the Tiger Pass. Li Mu personally inspected the defense of the Tiger Prison Pass, and then left the lion army of horses to guard the Tiger Prison Pass, the Revolving Gate Pass and other fortresses!

On the second day, Li Mu and Fu Yan led Long Xiang to ride and Suzaku to return to Chang'an City. When Li Mu came to Chenggao, Zhao Yun had been stationed here for a day.

On the same day, Li Mu ordered Zhao Yun to lead the Canglong army to cross the river and recover the thirteen counties of Vu Duc, Huai County, Binh Gao, Wen County, Zhou County, Yewang, Bo County, Ha Duong, Yi County, Qinshui, Shanyang, Xiu Wu, and Huojia County.

Just when the Canglong Army regained Jia, intending to cross Qingshui east and recover Jixian. Zhang He, the general of Yuan Shaojun, led 10,000 troops to guard here. It turned out that as early as a few days ago, Yuan Shaojun had occupied the five counties of Linxi, Dangyin, Chaoge, Gongxian, and Ji County in Hanoi County.

The Canglong army then stopped. For a period of time after that, Liangzhou soldiers and horses and Yuan Shaojun confronted each other across the clear water.

Two days later, Li Mu returned to Chang'an City. Although there was relief from the Liangzhou army, there was still a steady stream of people fleeing along the way from Luoyang City to Mianchi and Shaanxi County, and then to Huayin and Zheng County.

Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, four hundred years of Guanzhong, the suffering of the catastrophe, how can it be like this?
