The Tiger Prison stopped Han Fei's footsteps, but Han Fei still did not give the order to attack. Three days later, Han Fei called Zhang He to the big tent.

"It's hard to take the Tiger Prison Pass now, do you have any clever plans?" Han Fei asked with a smile when he saw Zhang He coming in.

When Zhang He heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Why is the military advisor entertaining me, there is nothing you can do about this tiger prison, let alone me." ”

Han Fei waved his hand to signal him to sit down and speak, and then spoke: "Do you know that the princes of the Eighteenth Route were begging for Dong back then?" ”

"I don't know, it's just that I was left in Yecheng to garrison at that time, so I missed that grand event."

"How similar it was back then to today! Fearing that it would be difficult for the Tiger Prison Pass, the coalition forces divided their troops to fight the Bishui Pass. Speaking of this, Han Fei smiled mysteriously. Zhang He is a smart person understood as soon as he heard it, and he opened his mouth and asked, "Is the military advisor asking me to lead the troops to fight the Bishui Pass?" ”

"Yes, you still understand me! This Tiger Prison Pass is the barrier of Luoyang, and so is the Bishui Pass. As long as you pass the Bishui Pass, it will be a smooth road to Luoyang, and I want you to take not only the Bishui Pass but also the Luoyang City and me, completely cutting off Hao Zhao's retreat. Han Fei said, and finally a cold light flashed in his eyes. Zhang He listened to it and immediately got up to take the order. Han Fei divided the army in two and asked Zhang He to take half of his men and horses to attack Bishui Pass.

The guard of Bishui Pass is Xiahou Wang, a side descendant of the Xiahou family, although he is also brave, but it is far worse than Hao Zhaolai. When Zhang He led the army to the bottom of the Bishui Pass, Xiahou Wang was shocked by the loss, and he arranged for men to guard the city wall on the one hand, and asked for help from Luoyang and Xiangyang on the other hand.

Why do you want to ask Xiangyang for help, it is really that there are not many available people in Luoyang City now. A fire that year made Luoyang City almost in ruins, although it has been rebuilt all these years, but Cao Wei's limited investment has passed for so many years, and it is difficult to reproduce the scenery of that day. The current Luoyang is only larger and more limited than the general city. The garrison had only 5,000 men, and the garrison was Cao Cao's third son, Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang had a lot of gaps with his second brother Cao Pi, so after Cao Pi took power, he sent him to Luoyang City, as the so-called out of sight and out of mind, and then there is that the place of Luoyang is already dilapidated, even if Cao Zhang has the heart to develop his own power, he will not succeed.

After Xiahou Wang sent the distress letter away, he personally went to the top of the city to watch the reality of the Qi army. It really scared him when he saw it. The morale of this Qi army is high, the army is honorable and orderly, and the armament is complete, it is worthy of being a strong army, and then look at these soldiers around him, many of them have never even been on the battlefield. At this time, before the war, my legs and stomach were weak.

Xiahou Wang sighed, and only hoped that the reinforcements would arrive soon, otherwise he really didn't dare to say that he could hold this water pass! Zhang He didn't give Xiahou much time at all, he only rested for a day before starting to lead his troops to attack the city.

At the beginning of the fight, Xiahou Wang found that he still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Qi army, and the city had changed hands several times in the past morning, if he hadn't thrown all the reserve forces up, the city would have been broken a long time ago.

"It's over, the water can't be guarded! No, I'm going to have to get out of the way! Xiahou Wang didn't look good, and he didn't want to guard it anymore, so he withdrew with his men and horses that night, he didn't dare to go back to Luoyang City, for fear that Cao Zhang would blame him. So he retreated directly to Wancheng with the remnants of the army.

Cao Zhang had already received a distress letter from Xiahou Wang at this time, according to his thoughts, how could Xiahou Wang be able to keep it for three days! With little preparation on his side, he can go to his aid with men and horses. But the next day, Cao Zhang received the news of the fall of Bishui Pass. only made him angry and dropped multiple teacups in a row.

But things have happened, Cao Zhang needs to make a decision quickly, whether Luoyang should be defended, how to defend? But anyway, there is no need to keep the Tiger Prison Pass, the Bishui Pass is lost, the gate of Luoyang has been opened, and the Tiger Prison Pass is not so important.

Anyway, withdraw Hao Zhao first. Thinking of this, Cao Zhang quickly issued an order to let Hao Zhao give up the Tiger Prison Pass and retreat to Luoyang City. Hao Zhao used to be Cao Ren's lieutenant general, and now he should directly obey Cao Pi's orders. But now that the Qi army is pressing the border, Cao Pi is far away in Xiangyang City. So as soon as Cao Zhang's order arrived, Hao Zhao accepted it almost without hesitation.

It took time for the army to retreat, and Hao Zhao simply threw away everything except food and ordnance in order to speed up the march. In this way, the team quietly left the Tiger Prison Pass in the middle of the night, and it only took them one day to rush to Luoyang City. With the arrival of Hao Zhao's 8,000 men, there are now 13,000 defenders in Luoyang City. This also made Cao Zhang's heart feel a little relieved.

"Father, then Hao Zhao will withdraw, and the Tiger Prison Pass will be occupied by our army so easily?" Han Bo didn't believe it until he entered the Tiger Prison Pass!

Han Fei looked at his son and responded with a smile: "That Hao Zhao is a smart person, he knows that if he doesn't go, I will definitely cut off his back road." So he had to retreat. ”

Han Bo suddenly realized when he heard this, he nodded and said, "No wonder my father hasn't gone to attack the city, it turns out that you thought about outwitting the tiger prison at the beginning of the fight." ”

Han Fei smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, we have completed the tasks arranged by the lord, and it's time to go back to Xuchang City." Han Bo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Han Fei's words, and then he asked, "Father has come to this point, don't we fight Luoyang?" ”

"Hahaha, it's not that you don't fight, it's not time yet! I came out this time with few people, and I had to divide people to guard the Tiger Prison Pass and Bishui Pass, so the manpower was even more insufficient. So bear with me for now! After Han Fei finished speaking, he patted Han Bo's shoulder and walked straight inside.

Just as Han Fei took the Tiger Prison Pass, a messenger came to Xuchang City. It was none other than the second general, Guan Yu, and Guan Yunchang. It turned out that after Guan Yu learned that Liu Bei wanted to be the emperor, he wrote a letter to tell Liu Bei to tell him to hurry up and open the road to Hanzhong, and he also wanted to come to participate in Liu Bei's enthronement ceremony.

Liu Bei saw that Guan Yu had said this, so he decided to let Han Fei open up the road to the west, so that Luoyang and Chang'an would become two places that had to be taken.
