Chapter Seventy-One: Tiger Prison
"Huang has no complaints, but the great sage and good teacher don't even have a position, and it's really hateful for Dong Thief to act like this!" Xu Huang was a little annoyed.
"Hahaha!" Yan Zhanshu laughed, pointed at the pale angel and smiled: "Gongming, you scared our guests. He didn't know we were the Yellow Turbans! Hahaha! "The angel had already guessed when he heard the great sage and good teacher, and when he heard the Yellow Turban Army again, he had already rolled his eyes and passed out, and a stream of yellow water flowed out between his legs.
"Drag it down, kill it." Yan Zhanshu waved his hand, Pei Yuanshao stepped forward and grabbed it with his left hand, and waved the knife to give him two points.
Xu Huang also understood a little, and hurriedly apologized: "Huang Fang almost leaked the secrets of our army, it is really a great crime, please punish the great sage and good teacher!" ”
"Well, if you are guilty of leaking secrets, you will be punished for demoting your position by one level, and you will still receive the old department, and you will be reinstated after you have made meritorious contributions." Yan Zhanshu knew that the army could not be pardoned at will, so he was so flexible.
"Thank you!" Xu Huang naturally knew that this was Yan Zhanshu's maintenance of himself.
"You go with this decree to catch up with Guo Shuai's troops." Yan Zhanshu instructed Ma Jiaxiang, the little handsome man who acted as a messenger, and instructed: "Your contribution to this trip is not small, so you will be promoted to a first-level military position and receive an additional 300 troops." In addition, I told General Han Xian that I would make him the Taishou of Xihe and tell him not to care about the reward of the imperial court. ”
"No!" Ma Jiaxiang said goodbye to Yan Zhanshu excitedly, retreated to the side of the road, and waited for the army to pass before whipping his horse and chasing Guo Tai's Northern Route Army.
The army boarded the ship collected by Xu Rong from the port of Xie County, and began to cross the turbulent Yellow River, Yan Zhanshu looked at the Yellow River in front of him, and sighed: "It is said that the dragon spirit of Chang'an has disappeared, but in fact, it is just for the national capital for hundreds of years, the population is large, and it is needed for reproduction, resulting in an imbalance of water and soil." Stretching out his hand and pointing to the dividing line in the river: "Gongming, you see, this Wei River is the proof." The farmers reclaimed the land, destroyed the grass and trees, and the soil was carried into the Wei River by the rainwater, causing such a turbid scene! On the other hand, after soil erosion, the land was barren and could no longer support a large population, and the Han Dynasty was forced to set the capital Luoyang, as for the dragon qi, it was just a pretense. ”
"Huang grew up on the edge of the Yellow River since he was a child, and he thought that the Yellow River was like this, which has long been commonplace, but he didn't know that it contained this truth. Xu Huang was taught.
The army drove directly into the port of Mengjin, and there were only a few dozen Dong soldiers and soldiers in the port, and there were no horses. After Xu Huang got off the boat, the scouts rode out in all directions, and after a while, they all captured these escapees. After the interrogation, he replied to Yan Zhanshu and said: "Great virtuous and good teacher, the last general has already interrogated and understood that all the soldiers here are the original imperial court soldiers, not Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army, so there is no will to fight." ”
"Strictly control personnel, only allowed to enter but not out. At the same time, a clever person was sent to Luoyang to inquire about information, and a sentry cavalry was sent to the imperial tomb outside the city, as long as a large army appeared, he would return immediately! Yan Zhanshu knew that his main quest was as good as possible, after all, he had already failed twice, and as a sequence one, his face was a little unbearable.
After repairing in Mengjin Port for two days, I learned that Huaxiong was beheaded by Sun Jian and that Lu Bu had sent troops to the Tiger Prison, and I couldn't help but be a little quiet. Considering that Liu Guanzhang had been destroyed by himself, and he also wanted to know who else could defeat Lu Bu, he said to Xu Huang: "Is Gongming interested in going to Tiger Prison Pass to watch the battle?" Take a look at the fierce generals of Dong Zhuojun and the princes' coalition forces. ”
"Mengjin Port is our retreat, we must guard it, and the great sages and good teachers should not provoke the last general." Xu Huang smiled bitterly, as a top general, he naturally wants to see the heroes of the world, and he can fight with the enemy generals for life and death, so as to break through the bottleneck, which cannot be replaced by hard martial arts on weekdays. However, Xu Huang is even more aware of the importance of Mengjin Port, so he naturally does not dare to leave lightly.
"Don't be nervous, Gongming, now the attention of Dong Zhuojun and the princes' coalition army is all on the Tiger Prison Pass, it doesn't matter here, as the strongest general in our army, you still have to increase your knowledge, come with me to see the strength of the people in the world!" Yan Zhanshu was not too worried, so he left Zhou Cang and the five hundred Yellow Turban Army, and ordered them to pretend to be Dong Zhuojun and then rush to the Tiger Prison Pass together.
Tiger prison is dangerous in the world, one lock and two capitals! Tiger Prison Pass, also known as Bishui Pass, belongs to Chenggao County. Because King Mu of the Western Zhou Dynasty once bred the fierce tigers in captivity here, it is called the Tiger Prison. This pass is high and thick, connecting Songyue in the south, bordering the Yellow River in the north, the mountains are staggered, and it is a natural danger. There is a trend of "one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open", and it has always been a place for soldiers to fight.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Lu army defeated the Yan division here; During the Warring States Period, the Six Nations garrisoned troops here to resist Qin; When Chu and Han fought for hegemony, Liu and Xiang fought for the city here; Five hundred years later, Li Shimin broke Dou Jiande here; Eight hundred years later, Yue Fei broke the Jin soldiers in Zhuludu, and until the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, there were still fierce battles, and the sound of killing was heard from time to time.
In such a majestic pass, as long as there are enough arrows and stones, and 5,000 soldiers and horses are defended, it is enough to resist the attack of a million male divisions. The sky is slightly bright, the majestic city outline of the Tiger Prison Pass is bathed in the faint morning light, looking at it from afar, the clouds and mist are shrouded, the mountains are stacked, and the scenery is picturesque. On the upper floor, thousands of Dong soldiers put their spears on one side of the wall, leaned on the city wall, and spent another difficult night.
The soldiers stretched their waists, and the long night finally passed, and the coalition army of the Kwantung princes did not take advantage of the night to steal the pass, and it was almost time for a new group of people to defend the city.
At this moment, there was a sound of "stampeding" footsteps in the distance, which attracted the attention of the Dong soldiers at the head of the city, and they all looked over, but they saw that at the turn of the mountain, the black armor soldiers took the lead, holding a halberd in their hands, and there was also half an iron armor forehead guard on their faces, and they walked in unison, pressing towards the tiger prison pass. Immediately after that, the flags were rolled, the swords and halberds were like a forest, and tens of thousands of white horse knights roared, like stormy waves, rolling towards the tiger prison. The Kwantung Army is coming!
"Death again! Don't be annoyed! A Dong sergeant said in disgust, "It's so bad that we can't even sleep well!" ”
Hugh was talking nonsense, there was news before, the Huaxiong Governor of Bishui Pass pursued after the victory, and was killed by Sun Jian, and now Bishui Pass is already in danger. We must not make the same mistake! A middle-aged man in iron armor with a sinking face shouted loudly!
"Yes, High Captain!" The soldiers on the side were obviously in awe of this man and kept their mouths shut.
"Open the door! I'm out for a walk! A heroic voice rang out. Gao Duwei was silent for a moment, the corners of his mouth moved, and the words of persuasion still did not come out, but just waved his hand to the subordinates who were waiting for his order: "Open the door!" ”
The next moment, the door was wide open, and a fiery red figure passed through the door like lightning.
The Kwantung Coalition Army did not expect that anyone would dare to go out to meet the enemy, even the Euphorbia, who was known for their strict discipline, was relieved without receiving an order, and there was a trace of confusion in the front and rear queues.
