Chapter 16: Tiger Prison
In the camp of the Dong coalition army outside the Tiger Prison Pass, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu looked at a head in front of them, their faces were gloomy like water, and they could see that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were like a volcano about to erupt at this moment, and the anger could not be suppressed at all.
"Dong Zhuo, I am inseparable from you, if I don't kill you, I Yuan Shao will not be a person!"
let out an angry roar, and Yuan Shao's eyes showed a fierce light, which made the people who were in the same camp with Yuan Shao at this time shudder.
And Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Shao at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Benchu! ”
Yuan Shao raised his head and looked at Yuan Shu, and the four gazes collided in the air, and they all seemed to stir up a burst of invisible sparks.
After a long time, Yuan Shaocai said: "Dong Zhuo killed my uncle Yuan Kui all over the door, and this hatred is not shared. ”
Yuan Shu's eyes revealed a trace of firmness, and said, "Swear to kill Dong Zhuo!" ”
From this moment on, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu reached a tacit understanding, or cooperation.
Although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu didn't like each other, and they were constantly fighting openly and secretly with each other, when Dong Zhuo attacked the Yuan family and killed Yuan Kui, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu both made a decisive decision.
Abandon their past grievances and deal with Dong Zhuo first. If Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were still fighting secretly at this time, it would only make their Runan Yuan family laughed at by the world.
Whether it is Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, they are both cultivated by the Runan Yuan clan as heirs, and in the face of great rights and wrongs, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are both able to control their selfish desires.
In the next few days, at the strong request of the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the Dong coalition launched a fierce attack on the Tiger Pass, but the Tiger Pass Guarding Array was even stronger than the Bishui Pass, in addition to being able to suppress the enemy's combat effectiveness, the Tiger Prison Pass's Guarding Array could also be manipulated against the enemy.
Although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu worked together this time, although they were not working together, at least they did not stumble on each other, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the strongest princes in the alliance of the two princes, were like this, and the rest of the sixteen princes naturally would not lag behind. But even so, under the defense of Huaxiong and Li Su, although the offensive of the Dong coalition army was extremely fierce, it still failed to capture the Tiger Pass.
Three days later, Dong Zhuo personally led an army of 100,000 people to the Tiger Prison Pass with a group of civil and military officers under his command.
Tiger Prison Pass is fifty miles away from Luoyang, and with the speed of the Liang Army in the west, it can be arrived in half a day, but there will be a certain loss of combat power, and the 100,000 army that Dong Zhuo said is not that it can be gathered together. After ordering people to send Yuan Kui's head to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu on a fast horse, it took Dong Zhuo three days to gather soldiers and horses, transport baggage, and arrive at the Tiger Prison Pass.
Of course, there is also the reason why Li Ru suggested to Dong Zhuo to delay the time.
Li Ru understood that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu would definitely launch a fierce attack on Tiger Prison Pass when they saw Yuan Kui's head, and that time was the most fierce time for the Dong coalition army's offensive, but Li Ru believed that with the strength of Huaxiong and Li Su and Tiger Prison Pass, they would definitely be able to block this wave of offensive.
As long as they survive the initial wave of offensives, the anger of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu will decay in a few days, and the morale of the Dong coalition army will also decline.
Although Li Ru knew that with Dong Zhuo's current strength, he could defeat him even if he fought face-to-face with the alliance of the Eighteenth Route Princes, but since he could weaken the strength of the Eighteenth Route Princes' Alliance, Li Ru would not be too troublesome.
And as Li Ru expected, after two days of strong attack, the morale of the soldiers of the Eighteenth Route Princes' coalition army was indeed weakened to a large extent, and in the face of the Tiger Prison Pass's protection array, the Eighteenth Route Princes' coalition army was also a little helpless. The last time in the face of the Great Array of Protecting the Pass of Bishui Pass, the side of the Princes' coalition relied on Cao Cao's secret method and Guan Yu's strong strength to barely break it, but at this time, in the face of the Great Array of Protecting the Pass of the Tiger Pass, this method was obviously no longer usable.
Not to mention Guan Yu, Cao Cao was still in a weak state because of his rash use of the secret method to drive the Yitian Sword last time, and he couldn't make a move at all, and with Guan Yu's strength, he couldn't break the formation alone.
And just when the continuous siege of the city was fruitless, and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others were anxious, at this moment in the Tiger Prison Pass, Dong Zhuo looked at Hua Xiong and Li Su in front of him, and his face was angry: "Hua Xiong, Li Su, I handed over the Bishui Pass to the two of you, is this how you two guard the pass for me?" ”
Hua Xiong and Li Su were both terrified at this time and did not dare to speak.
And at this time, Li Ru also stood up and said to Dong Zhuo: "Father-in-law, this is not the fault of Huaxiong and Li Su, no one thought that someone in the alliance of the princes of the Eighteenth Route would be able to smash the great array of protecting the pass of Bishui Pass with one sword. If there is no such person, even if these Kwantung princes can break through the great array of protecting the water pass, they will not be able to take the water pass. This person's actions are really shocking, and he smashed the large guard array of Bishui Pass with one sword, and also cut off the morale of our army with one sword. ”
Dong Zhuo held his chin with one hand when he heard this, and no longer spoke, as a general who walked out of the battlefield, he also knew how important morale is to an army, even if this world can be cultivated and individual strength is constantly amplified, but it is undeniable that the importance of morale has not diminished.
Dong Zhuo looked up at Lu Bu at this time and asked, "Fengxian and my son, you may break through the Great Array of Protecting the Pass in one blow?" ”
Lu Budao: "Father-in-law, the power of the Great Array of Protecting the Pass of Bishui Pass is huge, if it is in a complete state, the child cannot be broken with one blow, but according to General Huaxiong, that person only shot after the Great Array of Protecting the Pass of Bishui Pass collided with the lightsaber made by the alliance of the Eighteenth Route Princes, and at that time, the power of the Great Array of Protecting the Pass of Bishui Pass was already the weakest, and it was not a problem to break it with one blow." ”
"Hmmm! Wen You, has the identity of the person who made the shot be found out? ”
Li Ru is the first strategist under Dong Zhuo and the controller of Dong Zhuo's intelligence organization, so Dong Zhuo asked such a question.
Li Ru arched his hand and said: "This person's name is Guan Yu, a good man from Hedong, and there are two righteous brothers Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, these three people's father-in-law saw them when they were crusading against the Yellow Turban, and these three people came with Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gonggong of Youbeiping. ”
After listening to Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo searched in his mind for a long time before he found the memories of Liu Guanzhang and the others, and then sneered and said: "These three guys actually dare to raise troops to resist me, the courage is really not small, Wen You, there is a way to extinguish the prestige of these Kanto rats." ”
