Initiated by Cao Cao, Yuan Shao convened and Yuan Shao as the leader of the princes' coalition army, gathered 400,000 troops to attack the Tiger Pass, starting with Changsha Taishou Sun Jian's attack on the Tiger Pass, to the end of the retreat of the coalition army, the whole campaign did not even take twelve hours, and ended hastily.

The coalition forces withdrew, the Han army did not pursue, and the battle of Tiger Prison Pass was declared to be over without a winner.

Lü Bu repeatedly asked to pursue the enemy, but Liu Xie did not agree, and ordered to strictly guard the Tiger Pass, and ordered a small group of soldiers to clean up the battlefield in front of the Tiger Pass, pick up the lost weapons and baggage, and capture a few lost enemy soldiers and bring them back to the camp for interrogation.

The soldiers said some inconsequential information about the coalition forces, and also said an interesting thing, that is, the night before, Liu Xie's people used arrows to shoot out the paper stained with medicinal powder, and after being picked up by the coalition people, someone really took it to wipe the buttocks.

The funniest thing is that a generation of heroes Cao Cao actually used it, and he laughed before he used it and said: "The world says that Luoyang paper is expensive, and today the puppet emperor actually used Luoyang paper to write a rhetoric to persuade him to surrender, which is really extravagant, and today I will use his bullshit to persuade him to wipe his ass." The words of the puppet emperor can only be used to wipe his ass, haha! ”

The result can be imagined, Cao Cao and some people who used these papers are rotten and blooming, Liu Xie thinks it is funny, when the soldier said this, causing all the generals to laugh.

Not only Cao Cao used this kind of paper, but several princes also used it. If it weren't for Cao Cao's words, the other princes wouldn't have used it, which also made the coalition forces make the decision to retreat to a certain extent.

Since then, the idiom Luoyang paper is expensive has been spread.

Liu Xie smiled secretly, he understood very well that in the original history, the idiom Luoyang paper gui originated from the Western Jin Dynasty, and the Western Jin Dynasty was after the Three Kingdoms, so Cao Cao said this idiom at this time, which can be regarded as a mess.

Liu Xie's momentary move actually made the idiom "Luoyang paper expensive" appear a hundred years in advance.

In the original history, in 291, Zuo Si's "Sandu Fu" was widely circulated, and many people in Luoyang copied it, resulting in a sharp increase in the price of Luoyang paper.

But now it's good, Luoyang paper is expensive, which was originally an extremely elegant idiom, but it became popular because Cao Cao wiped his buttocks.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie laughed with the generals.

Laughing enough, Liu consulted with Luoyang, and instructed Lu Bu to continue to guard the Tiger Pass, lead 10,000 elite soldiers, and change the guard once every six months.

For such a decision, it can be clearly seen that Liu Xie does not intend to crusade against the princes now, but to continue to stabilize Luoyang.

Lu Bu advised here: "Your Majesty, our army is flourishing, and the coalition army is defeated, it is the time for our army to pursue and suppress it on a large scale, so you must not miss the opportunity!" ”

Liu Xie said: "Otherwise, if Feng Xian doesn't know my strategy, you can guard the tiger prison with peace of mind." ”

Liu Xie said and came to Lu Bu and reached out to pat him, this Lu Bu is tall and mighty, if you use the current size, it is at least one meter nine, so eleven-year-old Liu Xie can't pat him on the shoulder at all.

Lu Bu bent down slightly, and Liu Xie could only pat his arm, and said: "The Tiger Prison is the barrier to the east of Luoyang, and only Wen Hou can guard this danger." So Fengxian, your responsibility is not light. ”

Lu Bu said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers should do their best to guard the tiger prison!" ”

Liu Xie also said: "It is necessary to guard this pass, but also not to prevent trade and commerce, so it is necessary to strictly inspect the caravans and personnel entering and leaving. When I return to Luoyang, I will send some people to carry out special material and tariff inspections, so as to reduce your burden. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for sharing your worries."

Since Luoyang implemented the idea of modern industrial management and improved the work efficiency of many workshops, a large number of items began to be produced in the three places of Luoyang, and the people's lives began to become rich, and the surplus goods needed to be sold to other places outside Luoyang.

Therefore, it is necessary to carry out strict control at various passes around Luoyang to guard against smuggling.

The Han army waited at Tiger Prison Pass for another day, but did not see any coalition counterattack, and the scouts sent out also reported that all the soldiers of the princes of the coalition army were scattered.

Liu Xie gathered the generals to discuss whether to withdraw the troops, Liu Xie said: "It seems that the enemy army has really withdrawn, and we can't all stay here. ”

Lu Bu said: "The ministers will guard the Tiger Prison Pass, and Your Majesty can rest assured that he will return to the court." ”

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Xie led the generals, except for the remaining 10,000 elite soldiers led by Lu Bu, and led the remaining 50,000 elite soldiers back to Luoyang.

Liu Xie rode a horse in the center, with Yan Er on the left and smoke clouds on the right. Yanyun said: "Your Majesty, I think this Lu Bu is proud of his achievements and is not very obedient." ”

Liu Xie said: "It's only been a few days, can you see it?" ”

Yanyun said: "Your Majesty, I guess not only I can see it, but I'm afraid all the generals will see it." ”

Liu Xie sighed deeply and said: "Lu Bu, the tiger general of the world, I can't bear such a talent." ”

Yanyun said: "If you raise a tiger for too long, it will definitely hurt people." His Majesty has to guard against it, and the courtiers have a sense of knowledge and say, not to provoke. ”

Liu Xie smiled and said, "I understand, I know that you are loyal. ”

Liu Xie has a small dictionary, whose loyalty and character value are displayed very clearly, so who is trustworthy and who is not trustworthy, he is very clear.

Although Lu Bu is brave, his loyalty and character value are very low. When employing people now, we can only use them carefully, but we can't abandon them.

After a day's trip, I returned to Luoyang in the evening, and there were already hundreds of officials and people who went out of the city or were welcomed. Luoyang's "New World" carried out a series of reports on this battle.

Back in the North Palace, Empress Dong had been waiting for a long time. After seeing Dong, Liu Xie got off the horse early, ran up, and hugged the old lady.

Empress Dong said with tears in her eyes: "Xie'er, you are finally back, and the mourning family has been restless for the past few days." ”

Liu Xie hugged her and walked to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, and said as he walked: "Although the alliance of the princes has an army of 400,000, they are not afraid, they are fighting for their own little selfish interests, they don't have to worry at all, plus our Han army is strong and powerful, they will definitely be defeated and return, and the facts have proved that it is not true." ”

Empress Dong said happily: "Very good, very good!" ”

Yan Er said on the side: "The Empress Dowager, with me and a group of generals, you old man can rest assured, Your Majesty will never be fine." ”

Empress Dong prepared a family banquet in the Yangxin Palace, rewarding Liu Xie, Yan'er, Zou Yuan and Si Xiaomei as companions.

During the banquet, Yan Er boasted, and Zou Yuan, who listened, kept sighing: "I knew that I also went out with the army." ”

Yan Er smiled and said, "But how can you fight if you don't know martial arts?" ”

Zou Yuan said: "Then I can come up with a strategy." ”

In addition to admiring, Si Xiaomei also talked about their experience of learning art in Yuefu, Zhen Mi said: "Today, there are two new beautiful sisters. ”
