Luoyang, the camp of the Xiliang Army, Dong Zhuo was holding a secret military meeting overnight, all the senior generals in the Xiliang Army participated, in the big tent, Dong Zhuo was in a handsome position, his face was sinking like water, and the strategist Li Ru lightly twisted his beard, his eyes flickered; Yizi Lu Bu held the halberd to guard, Li, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou were lined up on both sides, and the rest of the people were arranged in order according to the size of their official positions......

The atmosphere in the big tent was very tense, everyone's faces were gloomy, and Dong Zhuo in the handsome position didn't say a word, just kept stroking the Seven Killing Treasure Knife on his waist to relieve the huge pressure in his heart; Bishui Pass missed, the fierce general Huaxiong was killed, it is said that even the head was stewed by that Xiao Yi, two battles and two defeats, and now the Kwantung coalition army has approached the Tiger Pass, which is the last line of defense in the east of Luoyang, once it is broken, Luoyang City is equivalent to **** people in front!

"What do you say? Could it be that the Kwantung Coalition Army killed us under Luoyang City and drove us all back to our hometown in Xiliang to herd horses and sheep and eat sand? Dong Zhuo finally roared angrily, he knew that once he left Luoyang, it would mean the end of his hegemony, and all his previous efforts would be in vain, but if he faced the Kwantung Coalition Army, he was not completely sure, these two defeats did knock out a lot of his ambitions, maybe a corner of peace is also a good choice!

But this idea can only be hidden deep in his heart, and he doesn't dare to say it now, now Dong Zhuo is the backbone of the hundreds of thousands of troops in Xiliang, if he is cowardly first, as long as he takes a little back half a step, the people's hearts will be dispersed immediately, and the hundreds of thousands of troops will disappear, and then he will have no capital to be safe, so he must be tough, and he must go out to fight, even if it is for a better retreat!

"Fight! If you fight with them and don't let Lao Tzu live a good life, then no one will have a good time,...... It's a big deal! The generals of Xiliang suddenly shouted, no one wants to leave the rich Luoyang, how good it is here, money, beauties, officials, what do you want, and there are no restraints, no one dares to care about them who have knives in their hands, Luoyang City is simply a paradise for these soldiers!

Think about Xiliang's hometown again, what is there in that ghost place, the desert, the Gobi, the elusive wolves, the fierce and warlike Qiang people, ......, what people are most afraid of is not hardship, but the most afraid of losing after enjoying a rich life, which is even more uncomfortable than killing them; In order to keep his current good life, he has to go out and fight this battle!

"Li Ru, what do you say? To fight or not to fight? How exactly to fight? Seeing that the morale of his subordinates was finally boosted, Dong Zhuo smiled and nodded, and began to ask the strategists around him again, today's conference, in addition to unifying thoughts, must also arrange the next strategic plan.

"Master! Now the Kwantung coalition army is menacing, to this point, we can only advance, can not retreat, once the coalition army is killed under Luoyang City, we will be completely passive, so we must defend the tiger prison pass and keep the enemy out, so that we can be flexible and maneuver, leaving enough room for expansion! "Dong Zhuo's thoughts, Li Ru knows best, so the strategy he deployed is also an arrangement that can be attacked and retreated.

Touching the saber on his waist, Li Ru continued with a murderous face, "But if you want to calm the external turmoil, you must first get rid of the internal troubles, that Taifu Yuan Kui is Yuan Shao's own uncle, and he is also an important minister in the court, with a very high prestige, if they should cooperate with the outside and do something in Luoyang City while we are on the march, then we will be in trouble!" ”

"That makes sense!" Dong Zhuo slapped the Seven Killing Treasure Knife on the handsome case and said, "My son Lu Bu listened to the order, and crowned you as 'Wenhou' for his father, and you have 5,000 households, you immediately lead 500 iron horsemen to surround the mansion of 'Taifu' Yuan Kui overnight, regardless of men, women, old and young, and kill them all!" ”

"Listen to the order!" Hearing that he had been promoted to the title again, and had also increased his food, Lu Bu excitedly waved the halberd in his hand, and went to carry out the order in a hurry, killing people, it's just a trivial matter, the general's robe was originally dyed red with blood, the more you kill, the redder it is, until the red turns purple, hehe!

Seeing that Lu Bu went to carry out the order, Dong Zhuo nodded reassuringly, in fact, this is also his move, Lu Bu is too greedy, so he is always a little relieved, now it's okay, as long as he has the blood of Yuan Kui's family on his hands, then he has formed a mortal enmity with Yuan Shao, the leader of the Kwantung Alliance, and there is no place for him from now on, except to follow his own way to the black, Lu Bu has no other choice!

"The rest of the generals, tomorrow follow the old man to raise the Luoyang army of 150,000, and the soldiers will be sent to the tiger prison, and the old man will personally go to meet the princes of the eighteen roads!" With a treasure knife in his hand, Dong Zhuo finally gave the order for the whole army to attack, and this time he also let it go, pressing the old book, deciding life and death, and gambling on the destiny of heaven!

"No! ……”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After several days of repairs, under Cao Cao's repeated urging, the alliance leader Yuan Shao finally issued the order to march, and nearly 300,000 Kwantung coalition troops composed of the princes of the Eighteenth Route began to march towards the Tiger Prison Pass......

There are 10,000 people, boundless, 100,000 people, pulling the ground and the sky, 30 armies marching together, people shouting horses along the way, the black pressure almost covers the entire sky, the front does not see the head, the back does not see the tail, only the flag that covers the sky and the sun is waving in the wind, it looks amazing!

If you just look at the number of people, it is indeed amazing, but if you want to carefully look at the military appearance of the princes from all walks of life, it can only be described in four words--- miserable!

Fighting is not a group fight, sometimes it is useless to have a large number of people, but it is easy to mess up the position; Xiao Yi immediately pulled out a weed on a high slope and put it in his mouth, sucking the fragrance of the weed, while looking at the miserable army in front of him, no way, the miserable can also be seen, because this is related to the next step of the war.

In general, there are two really effective among the princes, one is Gongsun Zan's Youzhou soldiers, the strongest of which is naturally his 'White Horse Yicong', and the other is the flamboyant Bingzhou Legion, the strongest is naturally the Xuanjia Army commanded by Xiao Yi, these two armies are not only well-trained and well-equipped, but also all cavalry, extremely mobile, and the most important thing is that they have rich combat experience, they are the elite who fought with the nomads in the north on the frontier, and they have seen blood!

The second is Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Sun Jian's soldiers and horses, these teams have a strict lineup, obviously after some strict training, the level of equipment, and the command ability of generals at all levels is not bad, the only fly in the ointment is that they have not experienced a big war, if they fight a tailwind battle, they are okay, once they encounter adversity, I am afraid they will not be able to hold on!

As for the ranks of the rest of the princes, it was not so much an army as a group of people, all of whom were temporarily recruited by the princes from the fields, and even the basic queues could not be walked together, not only did they not go through systematic military training, but their weapons and equipment were also very backward, many of them had a broken spear with a pig iron spear in their hands, and they did not even have a decent piece of armor, as for the war horses, their horses were estimated to only plow the land and pull carts, such an army was really useless except for wasting grain and grass and increasing the enemy's military exploits!

On the other hand, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army, although the number is much smaller, but if the two armies really start a field battle and fight to the death, Xiao Yi can be sure that the defeat must be on the side of the coalition army, and now he has to pray that Dong Zhuo does not know the reality of the coalition army, and hopes that the previous two victories can bluff him!

"Report! Tell the commander, that hateful Mu Shun is here again, and he has to stay in our Xuanjia Army camp, saying that he has been ordered by Zhang Tingshi to fulfill his duties as the main general! "One of his own soldiers suddenly brought disgusting news.

"Mu Shun, it's this guy again!" Xiao Yi understands that this is Zhang Yang seeing that he has been in the limelight too much recently, and wants to restrain himself, although Mu Shun is incompetent, but after all, he is the commander of the Xuanjia Army, and Xiao Yi, although the soldiers call him the commander, in fact, his official position is still a small 'point army Sima', it is really strange, he has made so many great achievements, why can't his official position always be promoted?

"Okay, let him enter the camp, and give him my big tent of the Chinese army, and put his banner, hehe! Don't think about going out again when you come in this time, you want to play with me, see how my brother plays you to death! Xiao Yi touched his nose and began to show his signature smile again, Zhang Yang dared to do it so blatantly, there must be someone behind him to support him, and the candidate is not difficult to guess, it is nothing more than 'Er Yuan', they all want to take the opportunity to cut their military power, it is really whimsical, the Xuanjia Army is also under your control, it is time to teach a lesson!

Xiao Yi was touching his chin and thinking of a bad idea, and suddenly a number of horses rushed over, led by one person, with gold armor and red robes, a short sword at the waist, and a long beard on his chest fluttering in the wind, before the person arrived, the laughter had already come, it was Cao Cao, Cao Mengde!

"I don't have to worry about my complexion, it seems that the food has been good recently, and I heard that human flesh is a big supplement!" Before the horse's hooves stopped, Cao Cao made a joke, and as soon as he said it, even the people behind him laughed, and it seemed that they all knew about Xiao Yi's eating human flesh.

"Cao Gong said that he laughed, people are in the rivers and lakes, and he can't help himself!" Xiao Yi looked helpless, it seems that his reputation is completely ruined, it's okay, since he can't be loved by everyone, then everyone is afraid!

"Huh! Some rumors are just rumors, you don't need to take them to heart, the so-called 'cannibal tyrant', the whole world, relying on the 'cannibalism' to get on top, don't worry about just carrying a black pot for others! Cao Cao pointed to the distant rivers and mountains with a horsewhip, and his words were very philosophical!

"Thank you Cao Gong for your advice! No worries in life, don't love beauty and notoriety, just want to be at ease! ”

"What a free ride! …… Come, get acquainted, this is my brothers of the same clan and clan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou, Xiahou Yuan", Cao Cao pointed to a few people behind him, and introduced Xiao Yi, it turned out that Cao Cao's father Cao Song was originally the son of the Xiahou family, and later passed on to the eunuch Cao Teng as an adopted son, so Cao Cao has both brothers with the same surname and brothers from the same clan.

"I've seen all the generals!" Xiao Yi hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, since Cao Cao was willing to introduce his brother to him, and he did not shy away from that personal **, it can be seen that Cao Cao regarded him as his own person, in this era, "A person who is willing to talk to you about his private life is the greatest trust in you!" This cannot be the case unless you are close to your family! ”

"Don't dare to be, Commander Xiao is fine!" The generals of the Cao family hurriedly clenched their fists in return, they didn't dare to hold up Xiao Yi at all, although they were much older in terms of age, but Xiao Yi's great military exploits pressed them out of breath, for this demonic boy, they must not be regarded as old!

No wonder Cao Cao can achieve great things in the future, these clan brothers of his are his greatest help, looking at the Cao family brothers' cold or hot eyes, these are all talents who can stand alone, in this era, there is no more dangerous than his own brothers, and there is also no more reliable than his own brothers, the key depends on whether you can control it, Yuan Shao is a loser on this, and Cao Cao is undoubtedly a success, so many brothers are looking forward to the battle, for his great cause to fight on the battlefield, Cao Cao's commanding ability and personal charm can be seen!

"Don't worry about the war here? Hey, now hundreds of thousands of soldiers are heading to the Tiger Prison Pass, but I don't know how many people will be able to return the same way in a few months, and how many people will bury their bones in other places......", Cao Cao pointed to the marching army and continued, "Yuan Benchu made a mistake, at the beginning, 'no worries' warm wine and cut Huaxiong, our army was in full swing, and the Xiliang army was panicked, if you were willing to listen to my words, immediately select elite soldiers, attack in the starry night, and seize the Tiger Prison Pass in one fell swoop, and then the army followed up and forced Luoyang step by step, then the big thing could be done."

Now Dong Zhuo's army has been determined, the defense of Tiger Prison Pass has been completed, this victory or defeat is no longer up to us, although the Xiliang army is small, but all are elite, and most of them are cavalry, and although our army is numerous, it is divided into eighteen princes, and the orders are different, once Dong Zhuo breaks the cauldron and fights to the death, his chance of winning is at least eighty percent; Now it all depends on whether Dong Zhuo has the courage to 'look at the world'!

"I don't know how to see Dong Zhuo's true intentions? Is he advancing or retreating? Or is it first-in-backward? Xiao Yi secretly estimated in his heart, Cao Cao's expectations were not bad, if the two armies really fought hard, the chances of the coalition army were indeed less than two percent! If his Xuanjia Army chooses to stand by and watch, it will be insufficient!

"Huh! This matter is simple, it depends on how Dong Zhuo settles his troops, if he cantoned his troops outside the pass, that is to fight with the coalition army, if he cantoned the troops inside the tiger pass, it means that he is cowardly, it is estimated that he will not hold on for too long, so the coalition army still has a few chances of winning! ”

Just as everyone was thinking about Cao Cao's strategic estimates, a dusty herald Pegasus ran up the hill and reported breathlessly, "General Cao, then Dong Zhuo has exhausted the Luoyang army of 150,000 and is out of the town and the tiger prison is closed!" ”

"Oh! So how did Dong Zhuo garrison his troops? Cao Cao's voice also had a hint of trembling, it was a matter of life and death for the country, so he couldn't help but be frightened!

"Dong Zhuo sent Lu Bu to lead 30,000 iron cavalry to be stationed outside the pass, thinking that he was in response, and he personally led the remaining 120,000 horses to the Tiger Prison Pass, and also requisitioned tens of thousands of people to repair the city defense and strengthen the city wall!"

"Hahaha! Before the war started, first repair the city defense, and then the main force in the pass, Dong Zhuo's heart is timid, our army will win! Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed, although Dong Zhuo is also a generation of heroes, but he can pick up his heart and spirit, but in the end, it is still a few points behind, and it is not his turn to sit in this country!

"High! It's really high! Xiao Yi stretched out his thumb and threw himself to the ground for Cao Cao's admiration!
