Not long ago, Ma Zongheng announced to the world that he supported Dong Zhuo, and in less than two months, Ma Zongheng had a big army of King Qin, and he was bound to fight with Dong Zhuo to the death.

It's just that war is war, and people who may be allies one moment will become enemies the next. Ma Zongheng's sudden defection did not cause the state army to be in chaos, but as if it had been predicted. As the vanguard, Hao Meng accelerated the march and rushed to Luoyang quickly, occupying Luoyang and neighboring cities and counties first to stabilize the situation.

Half a month later, Gao Shun led his troops to arrive, and the overall situation gradually stabilized, so he ordered Hao Meng to quickly go to seize the Tiger Prison Pass.

Tiger Prison, as the world's first Xiongguan, has endless legends here, and the land near it has the nourishment of the blood of countless strong men, and there are countless generals who have become famous in one fell swoop.

Therefore, the world says that this is the stage of the strong and the cemetery of the weak!

"Unexpectedly, after a few years, I actually returned to the Tiger Prison Pass, thinking about how majestic the peerless Lu Bu was back then? It's a pity that such a character died young, and you and I have lost a good opponent! Cao Cao's body is not very tall, standing on top of the Tiger Prison Xiongguan, looking majestic like a mountain.

But next to him, there was a burly man like a god, but as a ghost, he was looking at the land under the gate with his eyes, sometimes as if looking at the figure that killed all sides here in the past, majestic and invincible, and sometimes seemed to see a peerless beauty, in front of the princes of the world, in order to escape, he did not hesitate to take risks, but in the end the picture of the jade was lost. For a while, he sighed a lot, and there seemed to be a kind of sadness in his heart that could not be dispersed, although he knew that the war was imminent, and this sentimental feeling was fatal, but it was impossible to suppress it.

Cao Cao saw that others were silent, and there was an indescribable sadness in his eyes, and he thought that he was lamenting for Lu Bu's death, and couldn't help laughing: "If Zongheng was here back then, maybe I would be able to see a battle like a war between gods and demons!" ”

This person is Ma Zongheng. I saw that his body was full of strong muscles, as if he could burst his golden and black brocade robe at any time, and at first glance, he looked like a ghost god who could slaughter his life at will, and his body was like a force that broke the world.

Cao Cao was secretly amazed, but he was also very looking forward to seeing his battle with Lu Bu, but unfortunately Lu Bu was dead, which had become impossible.

"Mengde, you can't imagine how much I wish I could stand here back then." Ma Zongheng let out a long breath, sighing with a little sigh, a little loneliness, and a little sadness.

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, but the laughter sounded a little sad. Then, a cool breeze blew, and the two were silent again, looking at the scenery outside the gate.

It's not far from the two. Standing on one side were all Cao Cao's fierce generals, led by Dian Wei and Xiahoudun. On the other side, standing were Pound, Hu Che'er and a group of generals.

"Evil, what do you think of Ma Xi's son?" Xiahou dun sank and asked Dian Wei, who was even bigger than him on the back of a bear.

"This person is by no means an ordinary person, I'm afraid he is not much more reckless than Lu Bu back then!" Dian Wei widened his fierce eyes and said in a deep voice. From the moment they met for the first time, Dian Wei knew from the momentum emanating from Ma Zongheng's body that Ma Zongheng's strength was extraordinary.

"If you are now, what if you fight him?" Xiahoudun couldn't help frowning, and when he thought of Lu Bu, who was dominating under this tiger prison, he couldn't help but be shocked, if it was really as Dian Wei said, he was definitely not Ma Zongheng's opponent.

"Even if it's me, I'm afraid it's only five or five!" Dian Wei said in one sentence, Xiahou Tang just broke off the idea of being on a par with Ma Zongheng, dealing with a monster of this level, fighting alone is completely looking for death!

On the other side, Pang De also said to Hu Che'er: "The lord has always regarded Cao Cao as a strong enemy, so I don't know if the lord and Cao Cao will continue to be allies or enemies after this war." ”

"Humph! The lord is brave and unparalleled in the world, and I think that Cao Cao is just shaking his mouth, and compared with the lord, it is far behind. If he dares to be an enemy of his lord, it will be a moth to the fire and bring about his own destruction! Hu Che'er snorted coldly, and seemed to have endless admiration for Ma Zongheng.

Neither is that said. Cao Cao is good at employing people, and he has more talents through heaven and earth, and his command is like a cloud, and there are many wise men. What's more, Cao Cao will not be stupid enough to fight alone with the lord. If the lord goes to war with him, the outcome is probably still unknown. Pound's heart tightened, and he said in a condensed voice. When Hu Che'er heard this, he frowned.

At this moment, behind the two parties, there were scouts rushing to report that Hao Meng, the vanguard of the state army, was leading his troops to kill the tiger!

Among the scouts on the two sides, there were soldiers and Pound and Xiahoudun to report details. When the two heard this, they immediately looked shocked, and stepped out one after another, as if they felt each other's movements, and the two couldn't help but make eye contact.

"Looks like you've got a lot of scout skills. The name of the flying feather is well deserved. ”

"Hmph, your tiger and leopard scouts are not bad either!"

After saying that, Xiahoudun and Pang De both withdrew their gazes and walked quickly towards Cao Cao and Ma Zongheng.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, almost at the same time, Cao Cao and Ma Zongheng said in unison: "Is the state army coming?" ”

When Xiahoudun and Pang De heard this, their expressions couldn't help but change, and there was something indescribably strange in their hearts. Xiahou said first: "Back to the lord, the tiger and leopard scouts are only able to return, and it is Hao Meng of the Bingzhou Army, with a strength of more than 6,000 people. ”

After Xiahoudun said that, Pang De immediately said to Ma Zongheng: "Feiyu has come to report, Hao Meng's 6,000 soldiers have arrived at the twenty miles outside the pass, according to their speed, in half an hour, they will be able to reach the pass." Among the 6,000 state troops, there are 3,000 infantry, 2,000 cavalry, and the remaining 1,000 are baggage and logistics troops. ”

After Pound finished speaking, Xiahoudun couldn't help but change color, and at the same time, his eyes showed a little resentment. Cao Cao was generous, raised his head and smiled: "Hahahaha~~!! It seems that the scout team is much more elaborate than my tiger and leopard scouts. ”

Meng De praised it. This first battle is crucial, if it wins, the morale of the three armies will inevitably be high, and it can also dampen the spirit of the state army. I don't know what Meng De thinks? Ma Zongheng said in a deep voice.

"Hehe, Zongheng has been thinking of it with me. Otherwise, how could they have come together so coincidentally yesterday to reach this tiger prison? Cao Cao smiled faintly, and his details were gorgeous and compelling.

When Ma Zongheng heard this, he said slowly: "You and I both want to be a soldier and a god, but we also expect that after Gao Shun stabilizes Luoyang, he will come to take the Tiger Prison Xiongguan." Therefore, he quickly sent troops to capture this level and catch the enemy by surprise! ”

"Fortunately, yesterday I suddenly had a hunch that you would coincide with me. Otherwise, I'm afraid that last night you and I will fight together under this pass. Cao Cao smiled faintly. When Ma Zongheng heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and suddenly sighed a little: "At this point, I am not as careful as Meng De." ”

"Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say! Hao Meng hurriedly took the tiger prison, I am afraid that I don't know that you and I have already taken it off. It's better for our department to ambush and ambush under the pass, but how about waiting for the order to give Hao Meng a head-on blow? Cao Cao smiled brightly and said sharply, and the light in his eyes flickered even more.

"Zenya!" The horse nodded his head, turned around and left, and Pound was also overjoyed and quickly followed. Xiahoudun couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Lord, our army is in ambush at the pass, but the horse is under the pass, once Hao Meng is defeated, it will be broken by the army under the pass, why is this such a good credit given to outsiders?" ”

"Why are you so impatient? Na Ma Xi has always been unfathomable, and now it is a little deeper and more sophisticated than back then. And although I am not a martial artist, from the momentum emanating from him, I can also feel that his martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds over the years, which is even more terrifying! And not long ago, he defeated the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, and I really want to see his skills! Cao Cao smiled, his gorgeous eyes full of expectation.

said that Hao Meng obeyed Gao Shun's order and came to take the Tiger Prison Pass urgently. In order to make meritorious contributions, Hao Meng hurried very fast along the way, and almost rarely rested, because he was afraid that Cao Cao and Ma Zongheng would take the Tiger Prison Pass one step ahead of him.

It's just that the impatient Hao Meng forgot that Gao Shun had repeatedly ordered him not to be careless, let alone to despise Cao Cao and Ma Zongheng, before arriving at the Tiger Prison Pass, he must first garrison to rest, and then send scouts to investigate, and after determining the reality of the Tiger Prison Pass, he will lead the troops to take it, and he must not drive the tired soldiers to act rashly.

"Hmph, that Gao Shun has relied on his prestige in the army over the years, and he has pressed me everywhere, it's rare that the lord is back, this time I have to show myself well!!" Hao Meng secretly said in his heart, so he ignored Gao Shun's order and ordered to step up the march, and the tiger prison must be taken down today.

So, before dusk, Hao Meng finally led his troops to the Tiger Prison Pass, but when he saw that the gate was closed, he was immediately shocked, rode his horse and hurried over, shouting: "I am Hao Meng, the Zhonglang General of the Ninth Army of Xiliang and the other departments of the state, don't you hurry up and open the door to greet you!" ”

Just as Hao Meng roared, suddenly the city only heard an order, and suddenly random arrows burst up and flew down overwhelmingly.

"Oh no, I've been tricked!!" Hao Meng was so frightened that he suddenly changed color, and hurriedly turned his horse and fled, and his soldiers hurriedly came to cover, only to see the chaotic arrows falling like rain, Hao Meng fled back to the battle, and was so frightened that he lost his soul, and then when he looked at it, he saw that several generals under his command had already been shot off the horse, and the corpse was covered with arrows.

On the other side, Ma Zongheng heard the movement in the city, and couldn't help frowning, and said, "This Cao Mengde is shaking the ghost head again." ”

"Hmph, I'll just say that this Cao Mengde is uneasy and kind, this Hao Meng is not suspicious, why is he in such a hurry to release the arrows, it must be the idea of making our army lose both!" Hu Che'er glared at the fierce and couldn't help but say coldly.

"This is not necessarily, presumably at the moment, Hao Meng and his subordinates have been frightened into chaos, our army has a lord here, if you want to kill them without leaving a piece of armor, the flowers are falling into the water, isn't it a matter of being captured!?" Pound was shocked and said. Hu Che'er was unhappy when he heard Pang De protect Cao Cao like this, and he was about to say a few words of sarcasm.

At this moment, a gate was put up on the city, and the originally dim space was instantly illuminated by the sunlight shining in the oblique sun, and the first thing to find was the resolute and majestic face of Ma Zongheng.

"Well, no need to talk nonsense. Let these state troops see the skills of my subordinates! As soon as Ma Zongheng's voice fell, he immediately shouted loudly, and the heavens and the earth instantly seemed to shake, and the entire tiger prison seemed to shake.

Hao Meng, who was outside the gate, had not yet recovered, when he suddenly saw the gate open, and the sound of killing inside was boiling, and the terrifying murderous aura swept like a huge wave!

Suddenly, the sound of hooves suddenly rose, and I saw a mighty man like a ghost, holding a dragon blade, riding a red black horse, majestic and majestic, leading the army to kill out of the pass.

"Damn!! It's the Ma family's child!! Hao Meng recognized Ma Zongheng at a glance, knowing that he was powerful, he hurriedly turned his horse and shouted urgently: "The tiger prison has been captured by the enemy, pass my order, withdraw quickly!" ”

As soon as Hao Meng's words came out, Hao Meng's army, which was already in confusion, immediately dispersed, looked back and fled in panic.
