"General, visit the Malay report, the Ye family army has left Hangu Pass." Cheng Gao is also the Tiger Prison Pass, and in the official office, a young general rushed over and said to Cao Hong.

"Have you ever found out who is the main general?" Cao Hong put down the scroll in his hand and looked at the visitor.

"There are leaf characters on the handsome flag." The young general bowed.

"Could it be that Ye Zhao is here?" Cao Hong's face changed, and he stood up and said, "Where are the enemy troops now?" ”

"I'm about to arrive in Gucheng, and I should be able to arrive in Luoyang today." The young general bowed.

"Probe!" Cao Hong frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Whoa!"

Watching the young general rush away, Cao Hong walked back and forth a few steps, he was really a little anxious, he didn't expect Ye Zhao to personally lead the army to come, Rao is Cao Hong is also a veteran general who has experienced a hundred battles, but in the face of Ye Zhao, his heart is a little frightened, because throughout Ye Zhao's appearance to the present, there have been countless battles, but it seems that he has never been defeated, not only Cao Zhen, I am afraid that if the princes are today, no one will have much confidence in Ye Zhao.

But as the chief general of the three armies, Cao Hong knew very well that he must not be chaotic at this moment, and after walking a few steps in the room, Cao Hong reacted, and hurriedly shouted outside the door: "Someone!" ”

"General!" Two of Cao Hong's guards came in and bowed to Cao Hong.

"Inform all ministries, strengthen the defense of the city, no one will be able to open the city easily without me!" Cao Hong tried his best to calm down, the tiger is in prison, the world is dangerous, even if it is Ye Zhao, as long as he can't stick to it, Ye Zhao can't take himself, right? If he attacked, Cao Hong didn't think that Ye Zhao had the ability to break through this tiger prison.

"In addition, send someone to Xuchang to inform the lord that Ye Zhao is here." Cao Hong thought about it and said, if Ye Zhao came over, with the thousands of people in his tiger prison, I am afraid it would be difficult to hold on.

"Whoa!" The two guards bowed, turned and left to give orders.

Cao Hong watched the two leave, still a little uneasy in his heart, and sent three more scouts to investigate each other's movements one after another.

On the other side, after Ye Zheng passed through Gucheng, he also sent a large number of sentinels to investigate the movements of the Tiger Prison Pass, but to his surprise, Cao Hong did not have the slightest movement except for sending a large number of scouts to investigate them, and the Tiger Prison Pass made a strict posture of guarding.

"I thought that this Cao Hong had an impatient temperament, and seeing that I was young, he would definitely take the initiative to lead the army to come to a sneak attack, but who knew that he was so cautious." After arriving in Luoyang, seeing that Cao Hong still did not attack, Ye Zheng couldn't help but smile at the generals with some regret: "It seems that Zheng still underestimated the heroes of the world." ”

Fa Zheng smiled when he heard this: "Now that Cao Hong is not coming to attack, how is the prince going to act?" ”

"This is to Luoyang, one is to win the Tiger Pass, and the other is to rebuild Luoyang, since Cao Hong is unwilling to go out of the pass to fight, I will start construction first, rebuild this Luoyang City." Ye Zheng said with a smile.

"It takes a lot of people to rebuild Luoyang, and in the Tiger Prison City, the population is now no more than 1,000 households, even if the population of Gucheng, Yangliang, Yanshi, and Gongxian is migrated, it is only a few thousand households, and with only this bit of manpower, I don't know how the prince will rebuild Luoyang City?" Fa Zheng smiled.

Before he set out on the expedition, he had already been instructed by Ye Zhao, if there was a big problem in the military strategy, there was no need to help with advice, just point out the problem, and at present, it seems that there is no need to take action by himself.

"Berji?" Ye Zheng looked at a general behind him and smiled.

"Whoa!" The general stepped forward and took a piece of paper from his bosom and spread it out.

This large piece of paper contains not only the general outline of the city, but also the outlines of the various sides, and even some of the main buildings, with detailed data.

"This is the drawings made by the master craftsman of the Shengong Battalion, and even invited Mr. Feng Shui, the new Luoyang City, to be surrounded by eight waters, the city wall is more spacious than the old site of Luoyang, the palace was built here, here is the Prime Minister's Mansion, this piece, is the government to build a private house, to attract the first batch of people to enter, the city is four times larger than in the past, the city tower, the city wall also needs to be in accordance with the latest structure designed by the Shengong Battalion, so the old city wall to be demolished and rebuilt, this city, he must be able to accommodate a million people in the day." Ye Zheng sighed.

Fa Zheng silently estimated for a moment and then frowned: "There is no shortage of grain and grass in our army, but with such a large-scale construction, even if our army has the best equipment, cement, etc., such a city will be built within three years, and at least 100,000 laborers will be used, which ...... Does the prince have to use the army to build a city? ”

"That's not going to work, the army is for war." Ye Zheng shook his head and said, "So we need to attract more people." ”

Fa Zheng looked at Ye Zheng with a smile: "It seems that the son of the world is already in his chest." ”

"Don't dare." Ye Zheng shook his head and smiled: "Since Cao Hong doesn't move, he can only think of ways from other places for the time being." ”

"Berzi." After speaking, he looked at Guo Huaidao on the side.

"The last general!" Guo Huai took a step forward and bowed.

"Give you 5,000 soldiers, first occupy the four passes of Yique, Dagu, Xuanyuan and the revolving gate, and I will arrange for people to go to Nanyang and Yingchuan to try to incite the people to enter the customs, and you are responsible for responding." Ye Zhengdao.

"Whoa!" After Guo Huai hugged his fist and saluted, he turned around and left.

"Bo Dao." Ye Zheng looked at Hao Zhao on the side again.

"In!" Hao Zhao bowed and said.

"You led a thousand people, or pretended to be Cao Jun, or pretended to be Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, and plundered each other in the Yangzhai and Yingchuan areas, and now it is the time of the autumn harvest, you go to burn the farms in the fields and drive the people of the two places to cross the Yique Pass." Ye Zhao said indifferently.

"Whoa!" Hao Zhao didn't say a word, and took the order to leave.

Fa Zheng on the side frowned when he heard this: "In this way, wouldn't it be impossible for those people to live?" ”

"If they are willing to enter Yique Pass, I will give them a way to live, if not, then it is the people of Cao Cao and Lu Bu, and it has nothing to do with me." Ye Zheng said indifferently: "Zheng is stupid, if you want to get a large number of people in a short period of time, there is only this way." ”

Fa Zheng nodded silently, although it was a little cruel, but as Ye Zheng said, as long as he entered Yique Pass, there would be a large amount of grain and grass here to recruit craftsmen, and after Luoyang was completed, these people could also settle in Luoyang.

After Ye Zheng sent out the two generals under his command, he ordered Wang Shuang to set up sentry posts and beacon towers in the area of Beibi Mountain, once Cao Hong attacked, he could know it as soon as possible.

Let the Shengong battalion start to recruit people to clean up Luoyang, now there are not many people, and they can only do some simple preliminary preparations, but at present, there are not many people, and they can only clean up a little bit, and Ye Zheng led the troops to camp at the foot of Beibi Mountain.

Three days later, the tiger was imprisoned.

"What did you say!?" Cao Hong stood up, grabbed the collar of the general in front of him, lifted him up, and said angrily.

"The commander of the army of the Beibi Mountain Battalion is not Ye Zhao, but his son Ye Zheng." The general smiled bitterly.

Cao Hong's face suddenly became exciting, green for a while, red for a while, he didn't expect that he was so frightened by a yellow-mouthed child that he cowered in the tiger prison for three days and didn't dare to move, and watched Ye Zheng swagger there and began to clean up Luoyang, sending troops to garrison in Yique Pass and other places.

After a long time, Cao Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Have you ever seen clearly?" ”

"Don't dare to deceive the general, the main general of the thief army is indeed Ye Zheng, the son of Ye Zhao, and in addition to that Guan Ping, there are several young generals under his command." The general bowed his head and said.

"Huangkou child, deceive people too much!" Cao Hong blushed and pushed the general away, and said angrily.

"General, that Ye Zheng didn't play Ye Zhao's banner, it's the general you ......"

"Smack~"

Cao Hong turned around, slapped the other party in the face, looked at him with a look of shame and said: "I don't know, but this son is so unreasonable to build Luoyang with no one in his eyes, and he doesn't put me in his eyes!" ”

A group of Cao generals: "......"

Cao Hong snorted angrily and took two steps back and forth, if it was Ye Zhao, he wouldn't say anything, but he was so frightened by a Ye Zheng junior that he hid in the city for three days and didn't dare to show his head, if this was spread out, where would he put Cao Hong's face?

"No, if that's the case, wouldn't it be underestimated!" Cao Hong snorted sullenly and said: "Pass my general order, order three thousand soldiers and horses to go out of the city, I will go to meet the Ye family's children!" ”

"General, there are 30,000 thieves! The general only brought 3,000 men and horses, is there a bit of ......?" a general said in a low voice.

"I'm just fighting with him, frustrating his spirit, and not attacking, and besides, the terrain between Beibi Mountain and Songshan Mountain, he has 30,000 troops, and it is difficult to use it, if I want to go, how can he stop me?" Cao Hong said disdainfully.

At that moment, he gathered his soldiers and horses and slaughtered all the way to Ye Zheng's camp.

Cao Hong has not yet come, the beacon tower on Beibi Mountain has been lit, Ye Zheng has already received the news, when Cao Hong arrived at Beibi Mountain with his people, Ye Zheng has already taken a group of generals to the gate.

"Sir, do you know what kind of calculation this Cao Hong is playing?" Ye Zheng was also a little confused, when he first came, he looked cautious, which made Ye Zheng think that Cao Hong was worthy of Cao Cao's general, and he was so steady, even in the face of Ye Zheng, a junior, he was not the slightest impatient.

But now, with 3,000 soldiers and horses, well, looking at the generals of the Cao army who were showing off their might outside the camp, this is the other party who came to fight, but what did you do earlier?

Fa Zheng is also a little confused, he really hasn't encountered this routine.

"Ye Zheng, you are swaggering and deceiving in the name of your father, do you dare to go out of the camp to fight today?" Cao Hong roared in the direction of Yuanmen farther away.

When Ye Zheng heard this, he glanced at Fa Zheng and seemed to understand a little.

Feelings: Cao Hong regards Ye Zheng as his father.

"I am the captain of the military academy Chu Xiong, Ye Zheng Xiao'er, come and fight your grandfather for three hundred rounds!" Outside the gate, a general of the Cao army shouted hard under the gate.

Ye Zheng raised his eyebrows, and Wang Shuang on the side saluted Ye Zheng and said, "General, the last general is invited to fight!" ”

"Accurate!" Ye Zheng nodded, Wang Shuang, Hao Zhao, and Guo Huai were trained with him in the Lanchi camp, and his martial arts were the top among the recruits, and his strength was infinite, even if Ye Zhao accepted the guidance of famous generals from all walks of life since he was a child, the two of them faced each other, and they mostly lost more and won less, and he still had some confidence in Wang Shuang's ability.
