Cheng Gao became popular, and naturally Liu Xuande succeeded.

His strategy is also simple, that is, let Zhang Fei and Yu Ban go to the battlefield to deal with Hua Xiong, preferably beheaded, and then let Yuan Shao intimidate the defenders of Tiger Prison with great fanfare, and at this time he took the opportunity to send troops with Le Jin and Lu Dai to smear and attack Chenggao from the waterway.

However, this is as simple as that......

First of all, the waterway sneak attack Chenggao, the Yellow River at a glance, if you want to sneak attack by boat, you can only take advantage of the night to sneak through the waters north of the Tiger Pass, and due to the lack of ferry equipment, so the scale of a transportation is destined not to be too large, otherwise it will inevitably be alarmed;

Secondly, Chenggao is a big city, and it is close to Hugao Pass, Luoyang, and Wushejin, supporting each other, especially Hugao Pass, which is too close to Chenggao...... In other words, Cheng Gao itself is part of the defense system of Tiger Prison Pass, so once it cannot be won in a battle, the troops who sneak attack are destined to be killed under the city in a state of loss of reinforcements.

So, this strategy just looks simple, but it's actually very dangerous...... An important premise is that the Chenggao garrison has been transferred out in a large area, and the Tiger Prison Pass is in a panic and cannot do anything at all.

In other words, if Zhang Fei couldn't kill Huaxiong here, then Liu Bei, Le Jin, and Lu Dai, who had been waiting on the edge of the Yellow River before, might not get on the boat at all.

But there is no doubt that Liu Bei won the bet...... He could see that Hua Xiong was gradually arrogant, and Hua Xiong was so arrogant that he used his body as bait; He trusted Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei also became a miracle in one battle; He appreciated Yu Ban and Le Jin, both of whom also performed well, one helped Zhang Fei contain Hua Xiong without any flaws, and the other followed him to climb the city at night and fight down; Even Yuan Shao and Cao Cao reciprocated his trust and trusted him in turn.

Moreover, even the defenders of the Tiger Prison did not disappoint him!

With the fire of Chenggao, the sergeants of Tiger Prison Pass, who were originally frightened by Hua Xiong's death, were at a loss.

Under Cao Cao's suggestion, Yuan Shao drew his sword and rose up, ordering all the princes to send troops with all their might, while using the most primitive methods to attack the city overnight, burning the city gates, hanging cables and climbing the wall, and at the same time using ships to transport soldiers and horses through the Yellow River to support Liu Bei behind the Tiger Prison Pass...... At the same time, after Liu Bei took Chenggao and set it on fire, he didn't defend the city, but made a quick decision, poured out of the nest, and the whole army turned behind the Tiger Prison Pass and attacked this pass overnight!

In the middle of the night, the Xiliang army was defeated, and countless soldiers and horses fled and surrendered in Guanzhong, and the Tiger Prison Pass was broken on all fronts, and Liu Xuande met with Yuan, Cao and other princes in the Tiger Prison Pass.

When the two sides met, Yuan Shao praised Liu Bei and all the soldiers who went to war, Cao Cao, Bao Xin, and Zhang Chao also rewarded Le Jin, Yu Ban, and Lu Dai respectively, and then the princes from all walks of life worked together to take out a sum of money as a reward, so that the coalition army was jubilant for a while, and naturally it was needless to say.

However, this jubilant atmosphere soon faded.

The trouble was caused by Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao...... Seeing Luoyang in front, the two brothers couldn't help but send troops without authorization, but the nearly 30,000 troops under the two of them were first blocked by Duan Xuan layer by layer, and the troops were seriously disjointed, and then they were hurriedly returned to the reinforcements of Xu Rongbu, Li Daobu, Li Mengbu and other nearly 20,000 cavalry under Luoyang City, so that the whole army was defeated.

There was no time to wait for the support of the coalition forces behind them, and the two brothers returned to Chenggao in a panic. After the war, the two pieces of the war actually lost more than 10,000 ...... The previous atmosphere of victory was all said in an instant, and the key was that the coalition forces had reawakened to the gap in combat power, so that the whole army was defeated and had to fall back into a state of confrontation.

For a while, even Yuan Shao couldn't help but sigh...... However, Fu Wushuang is not a one-way street, and what made Yuan Benchu collapse even more was that just a few days later, Dong Zhuofang took the initiative to send a message very intimately, informing Yuan Shao that his uncle's family and his brother Yuan Ji's family had just been cut down by Dong Xiangguo, and asked him to go to Chang'an to collect the body!

In other words, Dong Zhuo has wanted to cut Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji for a long time, and the reason is well known to the world, it is nothing more than that the second Yuan fought with him according to Kanto, and the Yuan family and the Dong family are actually incompatible. And the reason why he didn't do it for a long time was nothing more than because Yuan Kui was his master, and the Yuan family was deeply rooted in Luoyang, and Yuan Kui was the prince of the dynasty, so he needed to consider political influence.

So why don't you need to think about it now?

The answer is very simple, after returning to Guanzhong, the richness and ease of defense and difficulty in Guanzhong brought Dong Zhongying enough willful confidence and security.

Originally, everyone, including Gongsun Xun and Yuan Shao, felt that Dong Xiangguo had been very indulgent and violent in Luoyang before, but Dong Xiangguo still used the facts to tell the two juniors that they were still too young and naïve.

It is difficult for ordinary people to imagine how Dong Zhuo let himself go after entering Guanzhong!

In just half a month, he held a head banquet...... It is said that the ministers were so frightened that countless people vomited while summoning the guests to the banquet for the rebellious rebels in Northland County.

He also broke out in the second spring of his life.

In other words, Huangfu Song's uncle, the stepfamily of Huangfu Gui, one of the three Ming in Liangzhou, is still alive, and the charm still exists, so as an old bachelor, Dong Xiangguo wants to marry someone else, so as to marry the Huangfu family, who has a deep influence in Guanzhong and Liangzhou, and people are not happy, he actually killed Huangfu Song's aunt in public on the spot!

When the news came, Huangfu Song gritted his teeth, and he couldn't immediately travel back to two years ago and kill Dong Zhuo in Guanzhong!

He even built a comfort zone.

After Dong Zhuo arranged the defense of Guanzhong, he didn't like to live in Chang'an, so he let his younger brother Dong Min stay in Chang'an, let Wang Yun be in charge of the government, and then returned to his fiefdom Yixian, and built a dock fort next to Weishui in this place, known as Yiwu, and then gathered the treasures, goods, military rations, and armor obtained when he looted Luoyang before...... In all fairness, Dong Zhongying's move is not just for pleasure, because the place of Yixian itself is on the Weishui artery, and his presence here can cause a huge deterrent to Liangzhou and Yizhou.

In fact, after Dong Zhuo began to build a base camp in Yiwu, Ma Teng and Han Sui once again expressed their deference, and Dong Zhuo himself began to try to use troops against Hanzhong.

In this case, the unscrupulous Dong Xiangguo casually wiped out the entire Yuan clan, and it seems 'reasonable' to warn Yuan Shao.

And don't say it, the so-called crime of Yuan Kui's communication with the Kwantung traitors is really not nonsense - Luoyang Zhang Chao was defeated, and many people were captured, among which there were Guangling people who confessed one thing, Yuan's son, Yuan Sui, who was once Yuan Kui's Taifu's subordinate, actually went to Guangling after escaping from Luoyang, and was presiding over the affairs of the county for Zhang Chao in Guangling at this time.

Therefore, the matter of Yuan Kui's traffic to the Kwantung princes can be regarded as conclusive evidence, so cut it!

When Yuan Shao heard about this, he was panicked and resentful, but he actually had a headache, and he could only lie on the couch all day long...... In this case, not to mention marching into Luoyang, it is difficult for all the princes to come to Yuan Shao to discuss things, that is, Yuan Benchu can barely go in and out of the center of the scene.

However, on this day, a person suddenly came, Yuan Shao was not easy to see, but he had to see - someone called him a frustration, it was a famous man in Jizhou, and now he was engaged in it under the command of Mu Han Fu in Jizhou, and he came to deliver logistics grain and grass and inquire about Pan Feng's death, and now he heard that Yuan Shao was sick, and he came to condolence in person.

"I see."

After listening to Feng Ji's narration, the frustrated professor who was standing in front of the couch bowed his head slightly, and he didn't have much intention of pursuing it. "I will naturally report this matter to Han Jizhou and ask him to make his own decision. As for Yuan Cheqi, since he is sick and has encountered the bad news of Yuan Taifu, in my opinion, he might as well recuperate with peace of mind and talk about other things. ”

Feng Ji was silent for a while, but first looked at the bed through a gauze curtain, and looked at the figure behind the curtain and coughed slightly, and then turned to the frustration in front of him: "I have to worry a lot about my father and brother in this matter...... My general already has an old headache, and this bad news came, and it was helpless to suddenly commit an old illness...... When you arrive in Yecheng, you must explain more to Han Jizhou. ”

Frustrated with a few words, he bowed slightly to the figure behind the curtain, and was about to turn away.

However, Fu Gonghe was just about to go out, but he bumped into several people head-on, and one of them even came up and hugged Fu Yu from his waist and pushed him back to Yuan Shao's inner room where he was recuperating...... And that's not all, the other scribe who followed him simply ordered the armor to block the gate with a human wall.

"What does Nakaji mean by that?" I'm not afraid, but I'm just a little crying and laughing. "Taifu is dead, I have to go back to report to Han Jizhou in a hurry, he is the former official of Taifu, he must also be hurt for it, and Yuan Cheqi is sick......"

"Frustrated!" Naturally, it was Xin Ping who stopped the frustrated professor, but he saw that he was dragging the other party's arm, but he was simply sharp. "It is precisely because I heard that Fujun's medical skills are the first in Hebei, so I want to invite you to come and treat my general!"

He couldn't help but shake his head: "When did I learn medicine?" This is a false rumor, and I ask Zhongzhi to let me go quickly. ”

"Why should the husband and brother be too humble?" Another person stepped forward to block the way, but it was Yingchuan Guotu, a fellow villager of Xin Ping. "The Zhongzhi brothers and my clan are all in Yecheng now, and the letters from the clansmen say that you are unparalleled in Hebei medicine...... Since this is the case, how can I not think about leaving without diagnosing my general? ”

Fu Zhu felt more and more funny, but he didn't distinguish it, he just used his strength, tried to break free from Xin Ping, and bypassed Guo Tu again...... However, when the men came to the door, the armor soldiers standing in the door were expressionless, and only held their swords to block the way.

Frustrated and looked around, only to see that although the people around him who could speak looked different, they all stared at him silently, and they were helpless, so they could only spread their hands and ask: "Why is this so?" ”

"We're helpless!" Xin Ping bowed slightly. "If my general is ill, won't we be reduced to helpless people? Please forgive me with my brother? ”

Frustrated and helpless: "Just a little diagnosis? ”

"Not bad." Although Feng Ji behind him didn't know the reason for Xin Ping and Guo Tu's move, he was not a person who didn't know the opportunity, so he immediately cooperated. "If my brother and brother can make a little diagnosis for my general, I will definitely thank you!"

"I don't dare to ask for thanks." He sighed in frustration, and his face immediately became serious. "The only thing to explain in advance is to make a diagnosis, not to prescribe medicine!"

Guo Tu and Xin Ping glanced at each other, and simply responded: "My brother and brother will diagnose by themselves, and I will do the medicine by ourselves." ”

Fu Zhu shook his head, walked to Yuan Shao's couch again, sat down again through a layer of gauze, and then said in surprise: "In my opinion, Yuan Cheqi's illness today is not only in Dong Zhuo, but also in General Wei; Not only in the Kansai soldiers, but also in the Kanto princes! ”

Yuan Shao didn't pretend to be sick, he did have a headache, plus spring and summer intersect, and the temperature difference between day and night was large, so he had some colds...... But no matter what, when he heard this, he was suddenly stunned behind the curtain.

"Please also ask the prince and brother to make it clear." Feng Ji on the side didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward, and after being a little stunned, he took the initiative to inquire earnestly on behalf of his master.

"What's not to say about that?" He sat on a stool in front of the couch and spoke proudly. "It's nothing more than seeing Liu Xuande and that Zhang Yide, and even the various departments of the Dong army so good at fighting, so I am worried that General Wei and Dong Zhuo are powerful, and I am worried that their good fighting is invincible. Then it was clear that Luoyang was in front, but the food was tasteless, and it was a pity to abandon it; Chang'an is in the west, but it is far away...... So I wanted to go back and deal with the Kwantung princes to improve myself, but I didn't know what to do with them! Especially when General Wei is in Hedong, he doesn't seem to have the slightest intention of giving up, and Yuan Gong doesn't know whether to give up or not...... Right? ”

In other words, it was obviously Xin Ping and Guo Tu, two Yingchuan fellows, who did it privately, Feng Ji didn't know the details, but at this time he was already convinced: "Then dare to ask the father and brother...... The crux of the problem is probably like this, but it can cure the disease and save people, and punish the past and the future, where is the reason and statement behind this crux? ”

"Yuan Che rides." Frustrated Professor smiled at Feng Ji for a moment, but turned his head to the curtain in front of him and asked. "Do you want to emulate General Wei to do something, but you always feel that you don't know how to start, and then you are a little unsure?"

I coughed badly behind the curtain for a while.

"In that case." Frustrated continued. "Then Yuan Cheqi has ever compared his heart to his heart, and thought about why General Wei is so determined to move forward in everything? What did he think? and Dong Zhuo......"

"Don't sell it." Looking at the coughing figure behind the curtain, Xin Ping couldn't help but interject and persuade.

"Well, in my opinion, the reason why Yuan Cheqi is confused is very simple." Frustrated replied proudly. "That is, I want to whip the world, what Yuan Gong and General Wei lack is different! Yuan Gong, the general trend of the world has been completely different from previous years, although the Han family still exists, but it is only a lingering breath, and the discerning people know that the Han family cannot be revived but also cannot die suddenly, and the world of great controversy has come...... At this time, if a person wants to be a hero and want to do things for the world, he can't just be good at fighting or prestigious, he needs to go on the horse to unify the army, get off the horse to manage the people, and there are people from all walks of life behind him as the foundation, and there are heroes and wise men from all walks of life in front of him to help! What Yuan Cheqi was worried about was, in the final analysis, just that he wanted to be such a hero, but he always felt that there was something missing? Then compared with General Wei, I don't know if I have reached the point where I can't catch up...... Right?! ”

Before the words fell, Yuan Shao was pale, barefoot, wearing only a middle coat, got up from behind the curtain, and held the hand of the frustrated teacher in front of the couch...... Then, without waiting for the latter to react, he took the initiative to let go and bowed.

After a bow, he was about to speak again, but he couldn't stop coughing, his face was red, and he was so shocked that Feng Ji, Guo Tu and others around him hurriedly came to help.

Frustrated, he looked at the other party's expression, and thought of the temperature when the other party shook hands just now, knowing that the other party was not a fake disease, and thinking of the worship just now, his heart was also turbulent, and he couldn't sigh for a while...... He no longer hesitated, and analyzed it carefully for Yuan Shao directly in front of the bed.

In other words, the meaning of frustration is very simple.

He believes that times have changed, and this time should not pursue old things according to the old vision, but should resolutely pursue new things in the way of dealing with troubled times...... Specifically, it is necessary to quickly establish a complete political organization and political system that can adapt to the troubled times.

This system should effectively undertake political, military, civilian, and personnel affairs, and it is a complete military and political system in troubled times.

In fact, in the opinion of Fu Zhu, Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Xun, Yuan Shao, and of course a reluctant Yuan Shu, the reason why these four people are considered the four most powerful people in the world is not because of their military ability, nor is it prestige...... After all, when it comes to fighting, Gongsun Xun can hang Er Yuan up and fight; In terms of soldiers and horses, Dong Zhuo can also crown the world; In terms of prestige, Er Yuan was born with the surname Zhong in the world, and half of the officials in the world are protégés of his family...... It's just that at this moment, no matter what it depends on, only these four people in the world can be relied on as the political core, and quickly establish a complete system!

Or, conversely, it is precisely because the four of them are most likely to quickly become the new political core that they can become the top four in the world.

However, the troubled times suddenly came, and these four people had different backgrounds, personalities, and capitals, so the reliance on becoming the political core was also different...... For example, Dong Zhuo relied on the abolition of the Son of Heaven and held the center with strong soldiers; Gongsun Xun relied on his personal military strength and local management; The second Yuan relied on his family background, and Yuan's protégé in the Kanto region, and Yuan Shao was still recognized as the leader of the party!

"Yuan Gong." Frustrated said earnestly. "I'll tell you a few things...... First, I know that you are worried, and a large part of the reason is that the military arrogance of General Wei and Dong Zhuo can be seen from the battles of Tiger Prison, Chenggao, and Luoyang. But in my opinion, the military arrogance of the moment is not enough to mention! When it comes to fighting, what is Gaozu in front of Xiang Yu, but who is the final winner? If you can establish a complete system, there will naturally be a steady stream of countless soldiers and horses training into male soldiers on the battlefield; There will be famous generals like Han Xin and Bai Qi who will stand out and fight for 'Xiang Yu' for you, and there will also be characters like Xiao He and Zhang Liang who will plan the current situation for you and strategize thousands of miles away! ”

Yuan Shao was extremely fascinated by what he heard, and although a maid was helping him apply a hot towel to relieve his nasal congestion, he still couldn't help but bow his head again and again.

"Second, in fact, compared with Dong Zhuo and General Wei, Yuan Gong should have woken up to what he lacked." Frustrated continued. "For example, Dong Zhuo, he did a good job, he didn't have soldiers, so he went to use the fame of Duke Yuan's family to gather soldiers and horses; He had no prestige and no righteousness, so he deposed the Son of Heaven and recruited scholars in order to gain power; He found himself under siege in Luoyang, so he immediately turned to Guanzhong, thinking that he was the foundation...... Of course, the people are too rough and the people are too low-born, so although these directions are right, they are gradually losing popularity! ”

"So, what my generals lack is soldiers and horses and base areas?" Guo Tu suddenly interjected. "After all, the fourth and third princes of my family, the surname of the middle of the world, and the destruction of eunuchs, the world is grateful...... He doesn't lack fame and righteousness, he can't do anything, so he doesn't need to care about what to ask for Dong! ”

"Not bad!" Frustrated, he bowed his head calmly.

"Then ......" Xin Ping suddenly couldn't wait.

"This is actually why General Wei must keep an eye on Dong Zhuo." Frustrated Professor hurriedly said again, as if he was unwilling to give Xin and Guo room to play. "He came to discuss Dong on this trip, first, to take and annex the state to expand the base area; Second, after all, he was born in a border county, stronger than Dong Zhuo, but too far away from Yuan Gong, so he can not try to grasp the government, but he must not let the Son of Heaven fall into the hands of others...... This is his disadvantage! ”

Yuan Shao, who had been applying a hot towel for a long time, suddenly sighed, but finally threw away the hot towel and opened his mouth in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Gonghe...... I and these people around me have always known some of your truths, but they have always been vague and shadowy, and no one has ever said this matter so thoroughly like you, so that my heart is clear, and I have no doubts...... So sir, is it because God has helped me? Now, I know what I'm going to do. There is only one thing......"

"General Wei will not withdraw his troops!" Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, he made a categorical conclusion. "He has his sufferings, and he has his human nature...... If he doesn't go down to the middle of the pass and holds the Son of Heaven, although he is strong, he is not enough to hold Yuan Gong for a long time in the future! ”

"That's good, that's good!" Guo Tu was overjoyed. "In this way, the lord can rest assured that he will do things in Kanto!"

Yuan Shao bowed slightly, and was about to suppress his cough and prepare to speak again, but the frustrated person who was still in love just now got up and said goodbye...... And Yuan Benchu originally wanted to earnestly keep it, but suddenly his heart moved slightly, and he didn't keep it, but personally hugged the sick body and sent the other party out.

"I've made up my mind!" Anyi, Hedong, Gongsun Xun, who had been frustrated for a month and had no idea what to do, finally made up his mind after reading the reports on a series of battles in Tiger Prison, Chenggao, and Luoyang, and after listening to Dong Zhuo's wanton behavior in Guanzhong. "You have to break the level!"

"Where did it come from? How to break? Tian Feng looked at each other coldly. The Kwantung Coalition Army broke the tiger prison, and then, what is the overall situation? ”

"Yuan Hao asked well." After Gongsun Xun waited for General Sima Lang to put it away, it was Huo Ran who got up. "What the Kwantung Coalition is doing has nothing to do with us. And how to break it, I really don't know. There is only one thing, where did it come from? But on the contrary, it has already been decided...... Aren't those two places? Let's divide the troops, Yuan Hao and Zibo are peeking at Pujin here, and I will lead my troops across the river to Lintong Pass! Otherwise, is there a third way? ”

Tian Feng stood in his arms, wanting to speak and stopping.

——————I am the dividing line of the third way——————

"In the first year of the first peace, the princes begged for Dong, Shao was the leader of the alliance, and the coalition army of 100,000 was in the tiger prison. Dong Zhuo sent the general Hua Xiong to the Tiger Prison, showing off his might, winning consecutive battles, and the crowd could not resist. Du Liu Bei did not think that the soldiers were weak, and invited himself to be the vanguard to attack him. His subordinate Zhang Fei looked at the male cover, rode the horse in the crowd, beheaded it, and Zhuo Zhu was unable to be the one who could deter the three armies. At night, prepare for the tiger prison to mourn the main general, when there is nothing to prepare, the relatives lead thousands of people to jump in the back of the ferry, first break into Gao, and then take the tiger prison, the princes revilate. However, Shao Mingxi was happy, and he was worried about the old ancestor and Fei Taizu, as for the disease. —The Book of Old Swallows. The first in the family
