The tiger prison is indeed a little unbearable.

Originally, there were 20,000 elites stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass, and when Dong Zhuo sent Lu Bu later, he also brought a lot of soldiers and horses.

At the moment, however, it is clearly not normal.

Yuan Shao separated the army, for a month, the battle of the Tiger Prison Pass almost did not stop for a moment, the coalition army divided the soldiers and horses into Liu Bo, and attacked in turn, although the Tiger Prison Pass was also defended in the same way, but the so-called long-term defense must be lost, when the morale brought by Lu Bu's winning streak at the beginning was gradually consumed, all that remained was to fight who had more stamina.

In order to reduce the casualties of the officers and men in the army, Yuan Shao even transferred the recruited people to charge the battle, consuming the bows and arrows and strength of the enemy.

After all, people's strength is limited, after exhaustion, there is always a recovery time, just like an archer can shoot thirty bows a day, but if there is not enough time to rest, the number will be sharply reduced the next day, if the continuous maintenance of high-intensity combat, it will even cause permanent damage to both arms, and Yuan Shao obviously fought this idea, and did not hesitate to use a large number of people's lives to consume the strength of these archers.

From the beginning of close to 1 to 20 casualties, after a month of tragic killing, the casualty ratio of the coalition army and the soldiers guarding the pass gradually shrank to 1 to 4, which is already a very good data for the siege troops, especially in the face of the Tiger Pass, which can be called the world's first heroic pass.

However, the price was the lives of more than 200,000 people, and when Ye Zhao led the army to the area of Tiger Prison Pass, the smell of blood and corpses in the sky could be smelled even if it was dozens of miles away.

"Is Yuan Shao trying to commit suicide?" When they arrived at the camp of the coalition forces in the Tiger Prison Pass, looking at the corpses that were almost piled up in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, the pungent smell made Ye Zhao and the others who had just come to the Tiger Prison Pass nauseous.

"How do you say this?" Kong Rong's face was also a little pale, and he never dreamed that the battlefield of Tiger Prison Pass would be so tragic.

"After the Great War, there will be a plague, and this corpse all over the ground is a hotbed of plague!" Ye Zhao found a piece of cloth and poured water to wrap his mouth and nose, and asked the soldiers to do as he did, although the breathing was a little uncomfortable, it was better than directly exposing his mouth and nose to the air.

Plague, not to mention in this era of backward medicine, is also a thorny problem in the modern era when science and technology are developed and medicine is changing with each passing day, otherwise the end of the world will not come.

This is not a joke, a plague, especially if it spreads in this Central Plains, it will definitely be a disaster for the world.

"This ...... How does Xiu Ming know? Kong Rong was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Ye Zhaodao.

"Governor of ancient and modern times, wherever this dead air is everywhere, there will be a place where plague is rampant!" Ye Zhao didn't use the modern set to explain, others might think they were fools, and the current medicine can't explain it clearly, so it can only be proved with some practical benefits.

"So what's going to be done?" Kong Rong frowned and said, the plague is not a trivial matter.

"Leave the fighting for the time being, burn these corpses first, and then do the calculations." After Ye Zhao finished speaking, he didn't wait for Kong Rong, and directly led people to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Seeing this, Kong Rong hurriedly followed.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Shao has already received the news of Ye Zhao's arrival, gathered the princes to wait, after the battle of this Tiger Prison Pass, it can be regarded as letting the princes understand that there must be a few people in the army who can fight tough battles, although now with superior forces to suppress the Tiger Prison Pass, but the price paid is to see the dead bodies everywhere in front of the Tiger Prison Pass.

"Ningxiang Hou has arrived!" A guard shouted outside the door.

Before the words fell, Ye Zhao and Kong Rong had already lifted the curtain and entered the tent with a bloody breath coming from the nose.

"Ningxiang Hou, Wen Jugong came just in time, we are discussing the general attack, and now this tiger prison is already crumbling, and if an elite army is selected to attack it, it will definitely be able to break it in one fell swoop!" Seeing the two of them coming in, Yuan Shao smiled.

Everyone in the world knows that Ye Zhao is not only good at fighting, but also good at training, in the past, he was able to train a group of palace maids into elite troops who could fight bravely against Bingzhou without falling behind, and the soldiers under his account were definitely elite.

Now among the coalition forces, Sun Jian died in battle, Gongsun Chan left, although there are many remaining troops, but it is not easy to gather an elite, even if there is, it is also used by the princes as hole cards, how can it be easily shown, Ye Zhao is the most famous, and since joining the coalition army, in addition to capturing Huaxiong, it can be said that he has not made an inch, and now the tiger prison will be broken, and Ye Zhao should also let the blood.

"This matter has been postponed for the time being, and now, immediately mobilize all the troops to clean up the corpses outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and I have sent people to bring all the fire oil in the general, gather those corpses, and burn them on the spot." Ye Zhao's face was unprecedentedly solemn.

"Why is Ning Xianghou so indiscriminate?" Tao Qian frowned and said: "Now that the Tiger Prison Pass is about to be breached, Ning Xianghou asked me to wait to clean up the corpses, isn't it to give the Tiger Prison Pass a chance for the thief army to recover?" ”

"Now this Tiger Prison Pass is densely packed with corpses, and it is very easy to cause a plague, if you don't clean it up, even if you break through the Tiger Prison Pass, then this Central Plains area will become a thousand miles of red land!" Ye Zhao said in a deep voice.

"Joke, how did I not know there was such a thing?" Qiao Mao said disdainfully.

Although the land of war is prone to plagues, in the eyes of many people, it is a curse, because there is a disaster that hurts the heavens, and the disasters that come down from the heavens, what does it have to do with the corpses?

"Two choices, I clean up the corpse, you go to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, or everyone clean up the corpse as soon as possible, and then attack the Tiger Prison Pass, what do you think?" Ye Zhao was too lazy to talk nonsense with these people, he didn't think about convincing these people one by one, and when he convinced these people, I was afraid that the plague was about to spread.

"Ning Xianghou, is this threatening me?" Yuan Shao's face sank, and he looked at Ye Zhao unkindly.

"I could have thought so!" Ye Zhao nodded.

"Ye Zhao, don't deceive people too much, don't you really think that the coalition forces can't fight without you?" Qiao Mao slapped the table and stood up and said angrily: "I have been waiting for more than a month, and I have already greatly injured the vitality of the Tiger Prison Pass, and this is the time to break the level, even if there is no you, we can break the level!" ”

"Then I won't accompany you!" Ye Zhao snorted coldly, too lazy to talk nonsense with these people, turned around and left.

"Originally, if this person is not removed, how can my coalition army fight?" Qiao Mao looked at Yuan Shaodao.

It can be seen that with the defeat of the successive battles, the prestige of Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, is constantly decreasing.

Hearing this, Kong Rong hurriedly said: "Don't blame you, Xiu Ming is also worried about the plague, throughout the ancient and modern times, the origin of the plague is mostly a place of war, Xiu Ming thinks that the reason why this is the case is that the dead soldiers have gathered too much dead qi and suppressed the yang energy of people, and they are extremely worried. ”

"If there is really a plague...... Cao Cao couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he heard this, looked at Yuan Shao and said, "Alliance leader, why don't you postpone the offensive and clean up the corpses first?" Otherwise, if there is a plague, I am afraid that the land of the Central Plains will ......."

"No way!" Hearing this, Liu Dai categorically refused: "This tiger prison can be broken overnight, if you slow down the attack at this time, wouldn't it give that Lu Bu a chance to breathe, if you wait for that Lu Bu to relieve his breath, and then want to break through the tiger prison, there is no doubt that it will be like ascending to the sky." ”

Lu Bu's ability to fight, they have seen it during this time, not to mention the sharp attack, even if it is to defend the city, Lu Bu can defend it without leakage, if it is not for the princes to add the lives of the people, they alone may not be able to break through the tiger prison.

The rest of the princes also mostly supported Liu Dai's statement, as soon as this tiger prison is broken, the coalition army can go straight to Sili and come to Luoyang, then this battle, even if they win, now that it has reached this point, who wants to stop and clean up the corpse?

Although Cao Cao and Kong Rong felt that what Ye Zhao said was not unreasonable, and they were also a little worried about the plague, but seeing that the princes were angry, they kept their mouths shut, and after they separated, they secretly allocated a team of people to Ye Zhao to help Ye Zhao in private.

On the same day, Ye Zhao commanded the soldiers and horses to clean up the corpses, piled up the corpses, and took the fire oil from the army to burn it.

Early the next morning, Zhang Liao brought in a large amount of fire oil and burned all the corpses that had been piled up overnight.

"Tell the alliance leader, the Tiger Prison is empty, and Lu Bu and the thieves guarding the pass have left clean last night." In the big tent of the Chinese army, the princes who were gearing up and preparing to break the Tiger Prison Pass got a report that the Tiger Prison Pass had lost half of the enemy's trace.

The princes were stunned for a while, but then they also suddenly realized that in the past month, the coalition army has paid 200,000 casualties, but although the Xiliang army guarding the pass has taken advantage of the convenience of the city wall, the casualties are far lower than that of the coalition army, but the enemy has been killed by 1,000 and the self-loss is 800, and in the rest of the month, the Xiliang army guarding the pass has also lost a lot, nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses, and so far, it has been folded by nearly seventy percent, and no reinforcements have been sent in the direction of Luoyang, it is not easy for Lu Bu to hold on to now.

"It's time to take advantage of the victory to pursue!" When the princes heard this, they were all excited and inexplicable, whether they fled, or they broke through, in short, they won the battle of the Tiger Prison Pass, the Tiger Prison was broken, although Luoyang is the capital, but it is easier to attack it than the Tiger Prison Pass, after all, Luoyang can be surrounded on all sides, you can cut off water and food, and the means you can use are much more than attacking the checkpoint.

Yuan Shao was also open-minded, as if the inexplicable pungent smell in the air was not so unpleasant, and nodded: "That's what I mean!" ”

As long as Luoyang is broken, as the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao's prestige will be unprecedentedly enhanced, no matter whether Dong Zhuo can be killed or not, as long as Luoyang is broken, then Yuan Shao's goal will be achieved.

At the same time, in Ye Zhao's army, Dian Wei came to Ye Zhao's side, bowed down and said, "My lord, among the coalition army, there are many people who have been born strangely, but they are not serious. ”

When Ye Zhao heard this, he sighed helplessly: "Collect the troops, ask Wenyuan to prepare the grain and grass, we will prepare to withdraw the army, and leave tonight, and hand over these two letters to Cao Cao and Kong Rong respectively, as for whether they can survive, it depends on their creation!" ”
