Yes!

At this time, in Cao Cao's eyes, breaking through the tiger prison and killing Luoyang to save the Son of Heaven was already an inevitable thing, and even an inevitable thing.

Don't look at the defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass now, relying on the strong walls of the city, so that in the direction of the east gate, the west gate, and the south gate, several attacks by the alliance army in different directions have all returned in vain.

But there is actually a prerequisite for all of this.

That is, the princes of their alliance army have not yet converged on the premise of full strength!

As the saying goes, a chopstick is easy to break, and a chopstick is constantly broken.

This sentence is precisely applicable to describe the current situation of the Union Army.

You must know that at the beginning, although the alliance forces converged, in the end, they still had their own thoughts, each of them supported the army first, and only thought about their own interests, fighting for power and profit, and seeking personal gain.

As a result, the total strength of their Kwantung Coalition Army, although it weighed hundreds of thousands, was uneven, and everyone had selfish intentions and was unwilling to rush to the front, but Dong Zhuo took advantage of the gap and broke each one.

But if everyone "thinks in one place and works hard in one place", then it will be okay to destroy Dong Zhuo!

To tell the truth, after experiencing the defeat of the army and the extermination of the clan, Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance army, has completely changed his attitude towards the enemy.

When the group of Xiliang soldiers threw the heads of Yuan Kui's Yuan clan people out in front of the battle, wanting to use this to deter the alliance army, they did something wrong.

On the spot, the Yuan brothers screamed in grief and said: "Don't kill Dong Zhuo!" Swear not to be a man! The oath.

Whether they are sincere or not, under the eyes of the people of the world, this revenge of exterminating the clan cannot be avenged.

What's more, Cao Cao clearly understands that his childhood friend has become serious.

Then, what followed was the great background of the Yuan family, the top family that originated from the fourth and third princes!

Under such circumstances, Dong Zhuo really wanted to rely on this mere strength of less than 60,000 troops, and wanted to completely resist the hundreds of thousands of troops formed by the Alliance Army, which was undoubtedly a fool's dream.

After all, the princes of the Eighteenth Road Crusade gathered nearly half of the Han Dynasty's troops and the famous heroes who rose in the future.

There are 30,000 of them, there are 120,000 of them, and then they are all civil and military generals.

There are not only Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Sun Jian, Tao Qian, these world-famous princes, but also Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xiahou and other tiger generals who served under them.

When these people gather in one place, the energy that can burst out is definitely not to be underestimated!

After several previous wars, the filth within the coalition army, which had not been overcome, was finally put on hold for the time being.

This is the so-called war export method, which diverted the attention of the princes through war, and now, the combat effectiveness of the alliance army, which is united in all its hearts, must definitely go up several steps!

Looking at the Tiger Prison Pass, although there are 60,000 troops guarding it, however, in the face of the strong attack of hundreds of thousands of troops, 60,000 Xiliang soldiers are actually the same thing.

Not to mention anything else, just because of the strong attack of the three gates in the past few days, the total number of remaining troops in the Tiger Prison Pass at this time is estimated to be only more than 40,000.

In this way, compared with the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Alliance Army, the number of soldiers in the Tiger Prison Pass is too small, and it is difficult to deal with it on three sides.

It must be known that the city is not necessarily easy to defend, the larger it is, the more soldiers must be needed, if it is insufficient, it is more difficult for people to defend than those small cities of one or two miles.

In fact, if it weren't for the alliance army, they would need to attack Luoyang as soon as possible to rescue the Son of Heaven.

As an attacker with a numerical advantage, they actually only need to surround the city, ensure the continuous input of materials and energy, eat and drink, and supply weapons.

Then send a team of elite cavalry to cut off the material supply of the Tiger Prison Pass defending the city, and the materials of the defender in the city must have been lost, and the battle must be superior.

At the same time, in this way, it can also deplete the morale of the defenders, make their will to fight die, and their combat effectiveness will decrease.

After a certain time, as the attacker, they can throw fire into the city and cut off the water source, which can also accelerate the disintegration of the defender's will to defend the city, and then launch an action to take advantage of the tactical advantage.

It's just that, because of the time, they are not allowed to delay so much, so they finally give up this practice.

After all, for them who rebelled in the name of rescuing the Son of Heaven, the meaning of the Son of Heaven taking one more day in Dong Zhuo's hands and bringing it for an extra month, half a year or even more is completely different.

It is true that some people will say that although the alliance army is strong, the Xiliang soldiers under Dong Zhuo are not bad.

In these Xiliang troops, they are all a group of arrogant generals, how could it be so simple to be intimidated by the alliance army?

No matter how bad it is, Dong Zhuo still has more than 100,000 elites who can be sent over to increase the number of troops to defend it!

In that case, isn't the Tiger Prison Pass equally unbreakable?

Actually, no, Cao Cao also took this into consideration, you know, they are inside Luoyang, but there is also a group of "loyal to the Han family" old ministers to help, and when the time comes, let them gather private troops to break out.

Then contact Han Sui Ma Teng in Xiliang, and the two went out of the customs and disturbed Dong Zhuo's rear nest.

Hehe, by that time, Dong Zhuo, who is embattled in Luoyang, can still sit safely?

...

Of course, in the final analysis, these are just his Cao Cao's personal speculations, and no one knows what the specific situation will be next.

The only way to do your best is to obey the destiny of heaven!

Cao Cao knew in his heart that the heads-up between Xiahoudun and Zhang Liao not long ago, in the final analysis, was just a small victory, which did not affect Xiliang's strength, but only curbed Xiliang's arrogance and delayed for a few days.

So, he needs to say hello to the allies of the alliance first!

....

That night, Cao Cao called on Wei Hong, Bao Xin and his generals to have a banquet in the tent.

After three rounds of drinking, Cao Cao picked out the topic and asked everyone what they thought about conquering the Tiger Prison Pass.

The people who were eating and drinking heartily looked at each other, and no one had any idea, and suddenly there was no sound.

For a while, everyone was in high spirits, looking at each other silently, and facing this table full of good wine and food, it seemed to taste like chewing wax.

Cao Cao watched coldly, knowing that at this time, it was his turn to take the lead.

"Since the gentlemen don't say anything, Cao is not talented, there is a good plan, you can break the tiger prison!"

"What!"

Hearing this, everyone present, except for Wei Hong and Xiahoudun, was shocked.

Bao Xin, who was eating and drinking, was even more stunned, swallowed only one swallow in his throat, but forgot to swallow it, and all the wine in his mouth suddenly squirted out. His throat was choked hot, and he coughed violently for a while.

"Mengde, you... You mean, the tiger prison can be broken? ”

Finally recovering, he looked up, and his face was full of incredulity.

"There is a good strategy first, which is to send a fierce general, with thousands of tiger warriors, along the Yellow River upstream, raid Luoyang, Luoyang is lost, the tiger prison is broken, its army must be panicked, take this opportunity, we will suddenly kill, can win a big victory!"

Cao Cao glanced at him and said with a smile.

“…… Well, no, Mengde, this plan is too dangerous, those thousands of tigers are lone and go deep into danger, one is not good, but it will suffer disasters, very dangerous! No, absolutely not! Bao Xin put down the cup and said with a frown.

Hehe, I knew you would do this for a long time, so I ruled it out a long time ago.

Cao Cao secretly laughed and shook his head, he lost interest and stopped teasing Bao Xin.

Immediately, without hesitation, he ordered: "Bring a pen and paper." ”

His own entourage civil officials found paper and pencils, and the camp tent was simple, so he simply used the dining table as a few and splashed ink.

When the ink is dry, the letterhead is placed in a special cartridge for delivering urgent messages and sealed with lacquer wax.

Cao Cao raised his head and instructed several messengers in the army: "You quickly arrange a good horse and set off overnight, and be sure to hand over this letter to the alliance leader in the east of the city as soon as possible." ”

"Please hand over this letter to General Gongsun Chan in the south of the city!"

"This letter will be handed over to the alliance leader Lord Yuan alone, and he will be instructed to find a way to send it to Xiliang Ma Teng."

"You go to the rear army, and ask Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi County, and Zhang Miao, the Taishou of Chen Liu, to send more detectives and cavalry between their jurisdictions, to cruise and investigate, and as soon as there is news, report immediately!"

Soon, Cao Cao, who had finished explaining, waved his hand to let the scouts retreat.

"Therefore, there is still a plan, as long as Lord Bao and your colleagues can delay the enemy army at Ximen with Cao, but after half a month, it will be an opportunity to break the city!"

Turning around, Cao Cao explained to Bao Xin and the many generals below who had not yet understood what was going on.

"Such a big thing, I hope you ... Cooperate! ”

As soon as he slapped the table, Cao Cao stood up.

At this time, his small eyes flashed like electricity, as if he wanted to cut out the person who dared to look at him, as if he had internal organs, with supreme majesty!

"Willing to conspire with Mengde~"

"Willing to conspire with Lord Cao~"

All of a sudden, in the tent, the generals were subdued, and they didn't dare to disobey!
