Just when Liu Bei and Xu Rong were plotting against Cao Cao, Cao Cao was leading an army of 100,000 to attack the Tiger Pass, and in order to attack the Tiger Pass this time, Cao Cao had 50,000 troops before the year, and left 50,000 new troops in Yanzhou!

Now the Dao who followed Cao Cao to fight in the Tiger Prison are all elite soldiers! and Wenyou Guo Jia and Cheng Yu are conspiring; Wu has Xu Chu, Xiahou brothers, Cao Ren, Le Jin and others as generals.

And Xun Yu and Cao Hong, Yu Ban, Hao Zhao and others stayed in Yanzhou!

In the past few days, Cao Cao tentatively attacked the Tiger Prison Pass several times, but Zhang Ji and Fan Chou were well defended, so Cao Cao had nothing to do.

ordered Xiahou Yuan and other generals to lead a large army to attack, but they encountered a fierce man like Zhang Xiu! Helpless, Cao Cao could only retreat thirty miles to the village, and edict a group of civil and military personnel to discuss the method of attack!

At the same time, Guo Jia offered a plan: "Ming Gong, this battle is not good for us, although Zhang Ji and Fan Chou have few soldiers, they have a strong pass. Therefore, we can only win by one plan! ”

"However, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou are not fighting at all, and they don't go out, so they plan to be safe?" Cao Cao asked!

"But it can only be a divisive plan! There are now 70,000 troops in the Tiger Prison Pass, of which Zhang Ji led an army of 30,000 and Fan Chou 40,000! And Zhang Jide fiercely embroidered Zhang as a general! In this way, they can be evenly matched!

And now, if we can separate the two, the number of thieves and thieves will be halved, so that we will have a chance! Guo Jia said.

"It's just how to use the divisive strategy?" Cao Cao asked!

"Duke Ming, forget the divisive tactics that Li Ru used when the princes joined forces to fight against Dong?" Guo Jia asked!

"Feng Xiao is ......," Cao Cao pondered!

"Indeed, although the Tiger Prison Pass is a Xiong Pass, but the soldiers cannot list the 70,000 troops on the Pass, these days I carefully observed, and found that Zhang Ji and Fan Chou are alternately stationed in the Tiger Prison!

In this way, we can learn from Li Ru's strategy, choose one person to attack, and if this person is unwilling to garrison, the two will be suspicious. Then we use the tactics of tired soldiers and other tactics, the tiger prison will be broken, so that the Ming Duke can enter Luoyang and save the Son of Heaven! Guo Jia said.

Then Cao Cao acted according to the plan, every day when Fan Chou defended the Tiger Prison Pass, Cao Cao ordered people to lead a large army to attack, and when Zhang Ji defended, Cao Cao died down and did not attack!

Not only that, every day when it was Zhang Ji's turn to defend, Liu Bei also sent someone to invite Zhang Ji to get together, and everything was done openly, and he didn't hide it from Fan Chou!

From the very beginning, Fan Chou knew that Cao Cao's move was to recruit Zhang Ji, and Zhang Ji did not see Cao Cao and did not communicate with Cao Cao, but he also made a stand and swore to fight Cao Cao to the end.

However, when the number of soldiers under his command was reduced to more than 20,000, the young generals under Fan Chou complained to Fan Chou:

"The lord, after attacking for days, the general's corporal has been seriously insufficient, but the corporal under General Zhang Ji has not decreased, and there is a general Zhang Xiu to help, but the lord is no longer his opponent.

If this continues, will the general still have the capital to share equally with Zhang Ji, Li Yu, Guo Yan and others to control the government?

And since Cao Cao wanted to recruit Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu, and didn't want to meet the two swordsmen, why didn't the lord persuade General Zhang to defend the tiger prison every day, anyway, there was no war! ”

When Fan Chou heard this, he felt that this was good, so he went to Zhang Ji to discuss!

………

In the Luoyang Imperial Palace, the Son of Heaven and Yang Biao, Zhu Jun and others learned that Liu Bei and Cao Cao led the army to attack, so that at the court meeting, the Son of Heaven said:

"Li Qing, Guo Qing, now the traitors Liu Bei and Cao Cao led the army to attack Luoyang with Hangu Pass and Tiger Prison Pass, how is this good!"

"Holy Lord, we have already prepared, the tiger prison is closed, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, the two generals, are both generals of a hundred battles, and they will be able to guard against Cao Cao.

And Hangu Guan Xu Rong has 30,000 generals in his hands, and he can also resist Liu Bei for some time! Li Yu said!

Before the court discussion was dissolved, he received an urgent report from Xu Rong from Hangu Pass.

The battle report stated that Liu Bei led an army of 150,000 to attack Hangu Pass day and night, and after ten days, there were only 10,000 pairs of troops left in Hangu Pass, so in less than ten days, Liu Bei would break through Hangu Pass!

Hearing this, all the courtiers and the Son of Heaven were shocked, and then everyone gathered together to discuss, and finally ordered Guo Yan to lead an army of 80,000 to help Hangu Pass.

And Guo Yan was afraid that Xu Rong would not listen to the order at that time, so he played the Son of Heaven again, and dropped the rest of Xu Rong's army into the Tiger Prison Pass to assist Zhang Ji and Fan Chou to guard against Cao Cao!

Because the Son of Heaven and Li Yan both expected Guo Yan to lead the army to meet the enemy, Guo Yan's performance was quickly passed, and then Guo Yan led the 80,000 troops of the headquarters and the edict of the Son of Heaven all the way to Hangu Pass!

After Guo Yan left, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji both played the Son of Heaven, saying that the other party was wrong, and finally Li Yu had no choice but to send 10,000 soldiers to the tiger prison for Fan Chou to drive, so as to calm down an internal strife!

And when there were only 60,000 troops left in the entire Luoyang, the Son of Heaven secretly sent Yang Biao and Zhu Jun to plot to raise troops to attack Li Yu!

The three of them conspired for one night, and then decided to attack Li Yu with a large army at midnight three days later!

Three days later, Zhu Jun secretly entered the camp of Li Yu's army, and then raised the army, but he did not act secretly, and Zhu Jun was not able to take him by surprise because someone told him.

At that time, he fought evenly with Li Yu, and because Zhu Jun still had to garrison the palace to protect the Son of Heaven, and the 30,000 troops were all new troops that had just been recruited in the past two years, so they were at a disadvantage!

Li Yu suffered a rebellion, so he was very angry, and continued to attack Zhu Jun, three days of fighting, Zhu Jun only had 10,000 troops left, while Li Yu still had 15,000 troops.

Just when Li Rong thought that victory was in his hands, Xu Rong led a large army to support the Tiger Prison Pass, but learned that Li Yu and Zhu Jun were fighting in Luoyang City.

So he led the army straight to Luoyang, and as soon as he entered Luoyang, he led the army to attack Li Yu!

When Yuanbei Li Yu saw Xu Rong entering Luoyang, he thought that he was here to help him, but he didn't expect that Xu Rong hit his rear directly!

And Zhu Jun also found an opportunity to lead the army out of the palace to attack Li Rong with Xu Rong, so Li Yu was defeated immediately.

And Li Yu himself fought with Lu Meng for more than ten rounds and was cut off by Lu Meng's halberd! Then Li Yujun was defeated!

After defeating Li Rong, Xu Rong and Zhu Jun gathered their soldiers, and all the troops of Li Rong's soldiers were collected by Xu Rong!

"Zhu Gong, Dong Zhuo was in Luoyang before, so I was helpless, so I had to be a thief! And now that Dong Zhuo has been ambushed, Rong Wutianzi did not dare to return to Luoyang, so he has been stationed in Hangu Pass!

And now, the edict of the Son of Heaven ordered Rong to support Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, so Rong Dang rushed to the aid of the Tiger Prison! After Xu Rong finished speaking, he was ready to lead the army to leave!

"General Xu, wait a minute, Cao Gong is on the secret edict of the Son of Heaven to attack Li Yu, Guo Yan and others, and the Son of Heaven has been humiliated by Li Yu, Guo Yan and others in recent years." Zhu Jun hurriedly said!

"What about me?" Xu Rong asked!

"General Xu, wait a minute, I will go to ask the Son of Heaven for you, and you can lead the army to attack behind Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, and assist Cao Cao to enter the customs!

In this way, in a few years, we should be able to restore the rule of the Han Dynasty! Then Zhu Jun really invited the edict, Xu Rong got the edict and received the edict, and went straight to the tiger prison!

Two days later, Xu Rong arrived at Hangu Pass, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, and Fan Chou saw Xu Rong's reinforcements arriving, and they were overjoyed, so they led Xu Rong into the pass!

After Xu Rong entered the customs, the three of them discussed, and divided the task of guarding the customs into three points, and back, Xu Rong, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou were not stationed in the tiger prison for a day!

On this day, Xu Rong was stationed at the pass, and after nightfall, Xu Rong secretly sent people out of the pass to enter Cao Cao's camp!

When Cao Cao heard that Xu Rong had sent an envoy, he was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered someone to call him in!

"Wu Lu Meng was ordered by the general of my family to enter Cao Gong's camp at midnight three days after Cao agreed, General Xu will open and close the city, and invite Cao Gong to come and receive it!" Lu Meng said!

"Oh? Is this serious? Cao Cao said excitedly!

"Nature." Lu Meng said!

"It's just that I have a question, my lord has sent people to communicate with General Xu several times before, wanting to ask General Xu to surrender to my lord, but General Xu will not allow it.

But now, General Xu himself came to surrender to my lord, why is this? Cheng Yu asked!

"Who is your Excellency?" Lu Meng asked!

"I am under the command of the lord, and Cheng Yu is also!"

"Cheng Gong, let me ask you, General Xu was stationed in Hangu Pass before, although he had the intention to surrender to Cao Gong, but he was unable to enter Cao Gong's command!

To the west of Hangu Pass, most of the Western Regions are guarding Liu Bei, and to the east of Hangu Pass, Li Yu and Guo Yan led 200,000 troops.

Or is it that Cao Gong didn't sincerely recruit the generals of my family, and only wanted General Xu to consume Li Yu and Guo Yan's troops?

Furthermore, if General Xu returned to Cao Gong at that time, what credit would he have to Cao Gong? If it is not successful, how can the general of my family gain a foothold under the command of Cao Gong?

For so many reasons, Cheng Gong didn't know it, and asked me about a military general? Lu Meng said without flinching!

And Cheng Yu was red-faced and speechless by Lu Meng's words! After a while, Cao Cao promised to attack the Tiger Prison Pass at midnight three days later.

Then he sent someone to return to the Tiger Prison Pass with Lu Meng to meet Xu Rong!
