To the west of Bishui Pass is the Tiger Prison Pass.

This Tiger Prison Pass, also known as Gu Kun Pass, is known as the Tiger Prison because it is rumored that King Zhou Mu once kept the fierce tigers in captivity. Here in the Qin period, Songyue in the south, the Yellow River in the north, the mountains are staggered, and it is a natural danger. There is a lot of husband when the pass, and the trend of ten thousand people is not open, and it is a place where soldiers of all generations must fight. What's more, this tiger prison is fifty miles away from Luoyang, and if the tiger prison is occupied, Luoyang will be like a girl who has torn off her clothes, all naked.

Less than 20,000 remnants of Xiliang soldiers abandoned their armor and fled westward to the Tiger Prison Pass. The tiger guards gathered the remnants of the defeated army, and hurriedly wrote an urgent document, asking the scouts to send them to Luoyang quickly.

When Dong Zhuo was feasting on the ministers, the silk and bamboo were beautiful, singing and dancing, and the wine banquet was in full swing, seeing that the scouts were panicking and running in, he couldn't help but be annoyed, and pulled down his face and shouted: "Panic bird!" What's coming! ”

The scout hurriedly bowed down, not daring to say it directly, but only handed over the paperwork tremblingly.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and strategist Li Ru, who was also a strategist, got up and took the paperwork, and handed it to Dong Zhuo with both hands.

Dong Zhuo shouted: "Hey, Wen You, you see, what about handing it to the old man?" ”

Li Ru smiled: "How can the son-in-law trespass." After that, when I opened the paperwork, my face changed drastically.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo hurriedly asked, "Wenyou, what's wrong?" ”

Li Ru closed his eyes and shook his head, lamenting: "Huaxiong has been beheaded, and the Bishui Pass has been lost!" ”

"What?" Dong Zhuo listened, threw the wine cup, kicked a few cases violently, and when he landed, several cases overturned, and the wine syrup of melon and fruit dishes was poured on the ground, and he shouted, "Withdraw the wine banquet for me, discuss the matter!" Procedure! ”

In the middle of the banquet, the dancing girl hurriedly retreated, and Wen Wu also hurriedly stopped drinking and playing.

Dong Zhuo looked around at the civil and military ministers and said: "Today, I have lost General Huaxiong, I have lost the Bishui Pass, the thieves are huge, and they will go straight to the Tiger Prison." What should I do, you will discuss it. ”

The ministers were shocked.

Only one of the generals in the first position of the right military general seat suddenly stood up and shouted: "What are you afraid of, the Tiger Prison Pass has not been lost, my Xiliang Iron Horse is still there, and I Lu Bu is here, and I will drive away the Kwantung thieves." "This general is Lu Bu Lu Fengxian, one zhang tall, wearing a three-pronged purple and gold crown, hanging a Xichuan red cotton hundred flower robe, wearing a beast face swallowing head chain armor, waist armor exquisite lion belt, eight back to protect the flag, between speaking, majestic, looking at all directions.

Li Ru, the head on the left, arched his hand and said: "What General Fengxian said is exactly, my tiger prison pass has not been lost, so why be afraid." I have the courage of General Lu Bu and the power of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, please lead the army to the Tiger Prison in person, and the Kwantung group of fierce people can be pacified. ”

"Good!" Dong Zhuo laughed: "The old man will go to meet those thieves who don't know what to do." ”

So Dong Zhuo personally led 200,000 Xiliang horse infantry, together with Li Ru, Lu Bu, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others to the Tiger Pass. When the military horses arrived at the pass, Dong Zhuo ordered Lu Bu to lead 50,000 to take 50,000 to settle in Dazhai in front of the pass, and he led 150,000 to live in the pass, and the two armies formed horns against each other.

It is said that the Yuan Shao coalition army occupied the Bishui Xiongguan, and its morale was greatly boosted. After a short rest, Han Fu and the headquarters of Jizhou were left to guard Bishui Pass, and the remaining nineteen towns rushed to the Tiger Prison Pass with a large army.

Song Shijiang did not want to participate in the fight anymore and increase the casualties of his own headquarters. He prevaricated that the casualties of the men and horses in the headquarters of the first battle of Bishui Pass were too great, and he had to rest and recuperate.

Yuan Shao refused, saying that the Song Department was brave and indispensable. Therefore, the first town of Songjiang was authorized to supply and use the materials of Bishui Pass, and at the same time, more than 20,000 troops were allocated 10,000 to supplement the first town of Songjiang, and the rest were allocated to Liu Bei, the commander of Sun Jianyuan County, Taishou of Changsha, and the rest of the towns, in order to show the reward for the merits of Song Shijiang and the rest of the towns.

Song Shijiang reluctantly agreed to continue westward, and he was already secretly excited in his heart. Hurriedly ordered Lin Chong to lead Huang Xin, Sun Li, and the officer training camp under his tent to select and train the Xiliang soldiers, especially the iron cavalry soldiers; He also ordered Wu Yong to carry Guan Sheng, Qin Ming, Dong Ping, and several horse military camps to pick up war horses and equipment and materials, fortunately, all the pawn materials were won by themselves in a battle, and the alliance leader Yuan Shao was willing to approve, and the selection work went smoothly and abnormally, but the generals of the battalions were so busy that they had no rest day and night.

Such a reward, a thousand dollars to buy bones, greatly stimulated the rest of the towns, and they all stared at Song Shijiang with red eyes. Especially Liu Bei, with the merit of killing Hua Xiong, but because of Yuan Shu and others, he only got 2,000 soldiers, although his expression did not move, but the envious eyes had already betrayed his heart.

Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi, the fifth town, thought to himself: "After the battle of Bishui Pass, the people and horses of Xiliang have already been scattered, if they arrive at the Tiger Prison first, they may also grab a credit." Thinking like this, the men and horses under the command of the headquarters quickly stepped up and took the first step to the tiger prison.

People, you shouldn't have the idea of being greedy for merit. Wang Kuang led the men and horses of his headquarters to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass, who knew that under this pass, Lu Bu was leading more than 10,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry to form a formation, waiting for work.

Lu Bu saw that tens of thousands of horses and horses were surging in the east, less than four or five miles, and shouted loudly, "Kill!" ”。 Immediately holding high the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, the red rabbit horse rushed out with a neighing wind.

"Xiliang Iron Ride, invincible in the world! Kill! Kill! Behind him, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry roared in unison, and under the command of the two generals in front of him with full armor, they began to step rhythmically, and then accelerated, roaring like a torrent of steel and swept over.

"Knock knock knock......" The war drums sounded. Woo woo woo ......" the horn sounded.

Lu Bu's red rabbit horse was like the wind and lightning, and he was already in contact with Wang Kuang's leading general in an instant.

The general was tall and strong, rode straight on horseback, held a spear, and shouted majestically: "Hanoi Fang Yue is here, come and die by name!" ”

Lu Buhu glanced at him, smiled contemptuously, didn't bother to answer, raised Fang Tian's halberd and rode his horse to continue to rush straight.

Fang Yue is also a famous general in Hanoi, seeing Lu Bu like this, he was furious, and he also raised his spear, drove his strong horse, and hedged against Na Lu Bu.

"Bang", the two horses hedged, and collided fiercely, and the two blades collided, making a sound of iron and stone screaming. A moment later, the two horses separated, but they saw that the steel spear in the hand of the general Fang Yue had been twisted into a strange shape, and the chain armor on the upper body was shattered, revealing a halberd mark that pierced his chest. Fang Yue glanced down in disbelief, let out a terrible scream, and fell back from the horse, without any sound.

Lu Busen smiled, did not slow down the horse, and continued to rush straight into Wang Kuang's army with a halberd. Such a rush, but it was like a hot knife inserted into the grease, Wang Kuangjun was in chaos, with stumps and broken arms, and flesh and head, flying all over the sky in an instant; Red blood, white brains, green viscera and intestines, scattered all over the ground; The soldiers screamed miserably, and the war horses screamed, and the generals alone had turned Wang Kuang's army upside down.

Immediately after that, more than 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry had swept in, "boom", and the black iron cavalry devoured Wang Kuang's army in earthy yellow clothes like hungry wolves. The sharp spear sprinted into the opponent's body with the help of the horse's momentum, even if it was not of much use to be protected by the regimental card and armor, the spear sprinted to the plate and shattered the armor, screaming and flying backwards.

Wang Kuang's army had been defeated, and the soldiers were terrified, holding their heads and running in all directions. After the battle, Wang Kuangzao, the Hanoi Taishou, was also so frightened that his face turned pale, he couldn't stop trembling, turned his horse's head, and fled backwards desperately. The Xiliang cavalry pursued closely, wanting to get full success.

Fortunately, the rest of the towns and horses had also arrived at this time, and Yuan Yi, Kong Rong and other princes saw that Wang Kuang was being chased, and hurriedly sent a large army to save Wang Kuang. Lu Bu saw that there were many people and horses in the Kwantung region, and his own military horses were chasing too fast, and the array had dispersed, so he stopped the pursuit and returned the same way. Just on the way back, he slashed and killed thousands of people.

Seeing that Lu Bu was brave, how could he dare to fight again, and retreated more than 30 miles to set up camp, waiting for most of the allied army to arrive.

In less than two days, the nineteen towns were all in place, and they were ten miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass twenty miles ahead, and they were encamped in one place. There are countless antlers and horse barriers in front, a giant wooden fence in the back, and a tall tower lookout in all directions. The tents in the camp were densely packed and close together; The tooth flag is big, red, orange and yellow, hunting with the wind, covering the sky and the sun; Swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, knives and forks, the coldness of the forest, the flash of the sun.

Yuan Shao's big tent in the army, and the princes from all walks of life have gathered together.

Wang Kuang's face was ashen, his heart palpitated, and he shouted: "Lu Bu is too brave and invincible. ”

Yuan Shao's heroic and majestic face instantly pulled down, he stroked his long beard, and said unhappily: "Gongjie, don't be angry." If it weren't for your greed for merit and your reckless advance, how could you have been so defeated? ”

Wang Kuang was very unconvinced, and argued: "A certain general Fang Yue is strong in martial arts, and has the courage to be unstoppable, but he is not the enemy of Lu Bu and Yihe!" ”

The princes of the fifteenth town, Zhang Yang, who was too guarded by the party, disdained Wang Kuang's greed and recklessness, how could he listen to his arguments, and sneered: "I'm afraid that Fang Yue is not in vain." ”

"You ......" Wang Kuang was angry, shook his sleeves fiercely, and said hatefully: "If you don't listen to me, it's too late to regret it!" ”

While he was talking, a scout came in to report: "Then Lu Bu is here to fight!" ”

When Wang Kuang heard the report, he laughed coldly: "You can go to the first battle, and you can know." Brother Zhisheng, you are so majestic, why don't you go and kill Na Lu Bu and get a great achievement? ”

Zhang Yangnai is a straightforward person, how can he stand Wang Kuang's ridicule like this, and said angrily: "Brother Gongjie really deceived me, no one under my account?" He turned to Yuan Shao and shouted, "Alliance leader, Zhang Yang is willing to fight to the death with Naxi Liang Lu Bu, and he will not return if he is not victorious." But please come out of the camp to take a look, is Lu Bu invincible in the world? Or is it that Wang Taishou exaggerated. ”

"You!" Wang Kuang was so angry that he trembled, stretched out his index finger and pointed directly at Zhang Yang, and scolded, "Zhang Yang, don't say that you won't tell you, you just wait to regret it......"

"Alright." Yuan Shao was not very convinced, he interrupted Wang Kuang's words and said: "Then Xu Zhang Yang Taishou will lead the headquarters to fight, and I will wait for everyone to watch the battle." ”

"No!" Zhang Yang received the order, walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, and went to gather the headquarters by himself.

Song Shijiang shook his head, led his civil and military generals, and followed the princes out of the camp. I was also thinking about it in my heart, whether to come out and dissuade the party from guarding Zhang Yang too much. "Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses", this Lu Bu is the first brave general in the late Han Dynasty. Your Zhang Yang attack is purely self-defeating. But he is distressed, how to dissuade him? In the current situation, it is purely dissenting to discourage people, and if you don't do it, you will be hated, especially now that each prince has his own selfish intentions and calculates.

"Alas!" He couldn't help but sigh, thinking secretly, only when he was in danger to send his subordinates to rescue, this might be the best, and he could be worthy of these allies who were not wronged and hateful, and maybe he could gain some kindness.

Liu Bei, who was walking side by side, had always been very interested in Song Shijiang, and when he saw Song Shijiang sighing, he couldn't help but be quite curious, so he quietly pulled Song Shijiang and said, "Brother Gongming, why are you sighing?" Isn't it not optimistic about Zhang Yang Taishou? ”

Song Shijiang nodded and replied, "Brother Xuande, that's exactly the case." Have you ever heard of Lu Bu among people and Red Rabbit among horses? ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Bei is lonely and unheard, but I haven't heard of it." In this way, is this Lu Bu a little stronger than that Huaxiong? ”

Song Shijiang thought about it, and he was right, how could the idiom "Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses" appear now. It is likely to be created by Na Luo Guanzhong, and even if it was circulated in the Han Dynasty, at least it would be produced after Na Lu Bu conquered the world, picked up all the heroes, and killed many people.

He smiled and said, "After today, Brother Xuande will know." ”

"So!" Liu Bei listened, and his eyes flashed.
