Tiger Prison Pass, also known as Bishui Pass, Gukun Pass, the eastern gateway of Luoyang and an important pass, because King Mu of Zhou imprisoned the tiger in this prison and got its name. In the "Biography of Mu Tianzi", it is recorded: "The Son of Heaven hunted in Zheng, there was a tiger in the Jia, and the seven elites captured it to dedicate it, and the life of the East was stored in the east, because it was called the tiger prison." ”

This pass is connected with Songyue in the south, the Yellow River in the north, and the mountains are staggered, which is a natural danger. There is a trend of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open", and it is a place for soldiers of all dynasties.

After Wang Shichong occupied Luoyang, he continued to send troops to attack this pass, but it was held by the Wagang army and did not give up this pass.

At present, Li Mi is in Xingyang, and this pass has become an important checkpoint separating Luoyang and Xingyang, and the general Wang Junkuo sits here, with 30,000 defenders.

On this day, Cheng Zhijie led three hundred light horsemen to stop twenty miles outside the pass, he changed into civilian clothes, only took a few entourages, pretended to be businessmen, entered the Tiger Prison Pass, and met Wang Junkuo in private.

Cheng Zhijie is thick and detailed, he can understand Wang Junkuo's psychology to some extent, at present, Li Mi has no luck, lost the heart of hegemony, among the princes, has lost his aura, and the people and peasant army also feel that Li Mi is no good, he is a fake dragon, and he can't become a climate.

As a result, Li Mi's influence and prestige fell to the bottom, and there was no rebel army to defect again, his team was only sixty or seventy thousand, and he did not continue to expand, and he did not plan to come back to Wagangzhai, because he killed Zhai Rang and a series of old Wagang generals, so that the former Wagang sergeants secretly broke away and returned to Wagangzhai, no longer waiting for his dispatch.

Li Mi has no ambitions in Xingyang, borrows wine all day to drown his sorrows, wanders among beauties, and enjoys the free life of being an emperor.

The other generals naturally complained, because they couldn't see the way forward and felt that there was no future and no future if they stayed here, so the morale of the army and the hearts of the people were wavering.

Cheng Zhijie led people into the city, because there was no war here in the Tiger Prison Pass, so businessmen and people who visited relatives and friends, in and out, did not have a complete state of martial law.

The Dahua army is bound to win the Tiger Prison Pass, but it has not yet launched an attack, and it is still in a peaceful state for the time being.

Cheng Zhijie came to the general's mansion, secretly handed over the silver, asked the guards at the door to go in to say goodbye, and handed over the visit post, the guards took the money, and naturally went to pass it on very happily, and soon, Wang Junkuo sent someone to introduce Cheng Zhijie into the mansion.

"Jun Kuo!"

"Biting gold, it's you-" Wang Junkuo was very surprised, grabbed Cheng Zhijie's arm, very happy, when they fought side by side together, they formed a deep friendship.

The most important thing is that Cheng Zhijie has a good personality, hospitable, and friendship, and he is also very strategic in speaking, and he has a good temper with Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Wang Bodang, Niu Jinda, Shan Xiongxin and others!

"I'm back to see you!" Cheng Zhijie said with a smile.

"I heard that you left Zheng Guo and defected to Dahua as a general, this time you came to Tiger Prison Pass, do you want to return to the Wagang Army?" Wang Junkuo couldn't help but ask.

Cheng Zhijie said with emotion: "I stayed in Luoyang for half a year, it was my most aggrieved day, I was guarded by the Wang family, without the slightest trust, not free, and was restricted everywhere, and finally found an opportunity, abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and is currently under the account of Marshal Li Jing, being a general, which is quite important!" ”

After listening to this, Wang Junkuo nodded slightly, he could understand somewhat, but he was a little suspicious, how could he come to the Tiger Prison Pass?

"Brother, when you come to Tiger Prison today, I'm afraid it's not as simple as visiting old friends, right?"

"Haha, between our brothers, it's not polite, in fact, I, as a general of Dahua, came here to be a lobbyist, came to woo you, and defected to Dahua!"

"Defecting to Dahua?" Wang Junkuo was surprised, but he actually wanted to go to Dahua in his heart for a long time to have a future, but he had no way, and he took the initiative to vote, betraying the old master, and worried about being looked down upon, so he lowered his identity and was excluded and despised.

This is where Wang Junkuo has been struggling in his heart, he plans to wait for Dahua to attack, hold on for a period of time, and then someone persuade him to surrender, he will pretend to be persuaded, and then abandon the darkness and make a show, so that he will not be blamed, let go of the tiger prison, and still reflect his own value.

Now that Cheng Zhijie has come over as a lobbyist, it makes him feel relieved and feels that there is a way.

"This, I still have to think about it, after all, my situation is different from yours, you were captured in Luoyang, and you were forced to surrender Wang Shichong, which is equivalent to leaving the Wagang Army, and then joining Dahua, there is nothing, no one will accuse you. But as a general of the Wagang Army, now that Li Mi, the king of Wei, is still here, it seems inappropriate for me to take refuge in Dahua like this! ”

Cheng Zhijie said bitterly: "Brother, before I came, I also considered your situation!" However, good birds choose trees to perch, good ministers choose the lord and do things, there are many troubled times in ancient times, so Zhao Zilong has not followed several masters, and finally achieved the name of loyalty! I have solemnly recommended you to Marshal Li Jing, if you take the Tiger Prison Pass this time, you can make meritorious contributions to Dahua, and become Dahua's territory without bloodshed, and when Dou Jiande's army goes south, we can also fight here and make great contributions! ”

"I always feel a little ashamed of King Wei!"

Cheng Zhijie sighed and said: "If the King of Wei is still the original Duke of Wei, high-spirited and intent on dominating the world, then I will not come to persuade you and make you in a dilemma, but now the King of Wei has been decadent and demoralized, and it is really wasted, it is said that he spent all day drinking in Xingyang, and accepted a lot of beauties as concubines, so sit back and wait to die, I am afraid that even Dou Jiande's southward army will not be able to stop it, and it will soon retreat to Qi County." ”

Wang Junkuo nodded slightly, he also knew about this situation, so he was completely disappointed in this Wei prince.

"Will Dou Jiande really go south to rescue Luoyang?"

Cheng Zhijie said: "General Li Jing analyzed it like this, however, Dahua has already sent Hou Junji to fortify on the south bank of the Yellow River to block the Xia army. ”

Wang Junkuo's face was hesitant, and he couldn't get an idea, although defecting to Dahua was a choice of interests, but after all, he was also a righteous hero, if he was persuaded to agree immediately, he couldn't pass the hurdle in his heart.

"That's it, let me think about it for two days, anyway, there is no war for the time being, and there is no hurry, you just stay in the house, wait for my news, even if you don't defect to Dahua, as a brother, I will not betray you, and I will still send someone to send you out of the city!"

"I hope you can work with me to smoothly hand over the Tiger Prison Pass to Dahua and make a contribution!" Cheng Zhijie said.

"Let me think again!" Wang Junkuo did not immediately agree for a while.

"Okay, give you two days to think!" Cheng Zhi nodded, and did not force him to express his position immediately, but he also had some spectrum in his heart, and felt that he was seventy or eighty percent sure that he would be able to lobby successfully.
