Chapter 498: The Allies Are Not United
Tiger Prison Pass.
Yuan Shao led the soldiers and horses to attack the tiger prison for three days, but he did not fight.
Before the moat was filled, Yuan Shao, who had a big heart, tried to use the flying bridge to conquer the Tiger Prison Pass in one fell swoop.
However, the limitations of the flying bridge are too great, and the number of people is limited every time, and even the ladder cannot be lifted, which is equivalent to death.
After the moat was filled, Yuan Shao not only used bed crossbows and ladders, but also used ladder cars, nest cars, and large siege equipment such as Linchong.
Although the morale of the Xiliang soldiers in the Tiger Prison Pass was not high, they still easily defended it.
Yuan Shao also invited the princes of the Five Roads to attack the Tiger Pass with him.
One after the other, only to increase the bones.
At night, Yuan Shao prepared a flying hook and ordered a night attack.
There are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Tiger Prison Pass, defending day and night, and there is no hole to enter. After all, it won't help.
Tiger Prison Pass proves to all princes that what is the world's heroic pass?
Faced with the defeat in the war, Yuan Shao, who loved face very much, lowered his head and admitted to Liu Fan that he could not overcome the tiger prison.
"The Tiger Prison is in front of us, and we can't conquer it! The revolving door is closed and you can't enter! How? ”
In the camp of the Chinese army, Liu Fan sat in the first seat and said to the princes.
"A few days ago, the battle of the Tiger Prison Pass was a big victory, but these days it stopped in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, and no inch was allowed to enter. In my opinion, the Tiger Prison Pass is insurmountable. ”
Yuan Shu glanced at Liu Fan and sighed. There was an obvious implication in his tone.
But after Yuan Shu's words, the other princes nodded frequently, and seemed to agree with Yuan Shu's words.
"How can a strong city be attacked for only one day? It took five years for the ancient Jimo to attack the fortifications, and three years for the Battle of Changping! Our righteous soldiers are to crusade against national thieves and help the world. We mobilized the people, walked ninety-nine steps, and were only one step away from arriving in Luoyang. Is it just because of a wall, give up halfway? Tian Dan and Bai Qi's work are right in front of you. We are not for the monstrous work, but also for the loyalty and patriotism of the king. Cao Cao got up and patted his chest and said to the princes from all walks of life.
Cao Cao's words of courage and loyalty made the princes of all walks of life bow their heads in shame.
Seeing that Liu Fan was unmoved, the princes from all walks of life did not speak. Cao Cao said again: "I think that our army has always had an advantage in morale. The siege of the city in the past few days is not a failure, but only the most common small setbacks in the siege. We continued to send troops to attack the city, and we did not succeed for ten days. Ten days will not work, 100 days. The Xiliang army is not united, and no matter how thick the city wall is, it will be worn away by my 300,000 army. ”
"Mengde, everyone, please listen to me!" Cao Cao's words made Yuan Shao very dissatisfied, the dare to be killed and injured in the past few days is not your Cao Mengde's soldiers and horses, and he actually put such empty words, so Yuan Shao said to the princes from all walks of life: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhibo united with Han Kangzi and Wei Huanzi to besiege the Zhao city of Jinyang, and the siege lasted for two years. The soldier's fighting spirit was all worn out under the fortified city, and he was tired and didn't want to fight again. So much so that he was found by Zhan Xiangzi and sent his strategist Zhang Meng to talk about plotting against Han Wei, and the Zhi clan was destroyed because of this. If the Zhi clan survives, it will be a major overlord who dominates the Jin Kingdom, and there will no longer be three sub-Jins. During the Warring States Period, the King of Wei expelled Zhang Yi and no longer connected horizontally. Instead, Gongsun Yan was appointed as the prime minister, under the leadership of Gongsun Yan, the six countries jointly attacked Qin, and the six countries only had a slight victory, so they stopped in front of Hangu Pass, tired of attacking, exhausted, Hangu Pass was opened, Qin soldiers went east, ambushed corpses for hundreds of miles, and shocked the Kwantung countries. Just as Zhao Xiangzi's strategist Zhang Mengtan said, don't forget the past, and be the teacher of future generations! ”
Yuan Shao used allusions to shirk the siege. During the three-day siege of the city, it was his soldiers and horses as you, so that he suffered nearly 5,000 casualties, and he really did not want to spend any more troops.
He divided the three families into Jin, and the implication was to keep the green mountains there, not afraid of no firewood. You can retire for the time being and wait for the next gathering.
As soon as Yuan Shao said this, the princes from all walks of life nodded frequently.
"Why did Zhibo lose? Wei and Han were unwilling to die for the Zhi clan. Why did the Five Kingdoms defeat Qin? The countries outside the border are not united! ”
Cao Cao said meaningfully.
He compared Wei Han to Yuan Shao, and the countries outside the Guanxi to the princes of all walks of life.
After listening to Cao Cao's words, the princes' faces suddenly became hot again.
Even Yuan Shao couldn't hold his face, and glared at Cao Cao.
"This tiger prison, do you think you want to continue the attack!"
Liu Fan looked at the princes from all walks of life at this time and spoke.
"I, Cao Cao, am willing to send my generals to attack the Tiger Pass. Which general would like to join me? ”
Cao Cao then recommended himself, and in his words he wanted to seek allies to join him.
He is a new soldier under his command, and he understands that he can't overcome the tiger with his own soldiers and horses alone, and he needs the cooperation of many parties.
But no one stood up to respond to Cao Cao, and they were all silent.
This is also Liu Fan as the leader of the alliance, if Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance, at this moment, the princes from all walks of life would have already returned to their respective homes.
Cao Cao let out a breath from his nostrils and returned to his seat and sat down. Head tilt. Obviously, he was disappointed in the princes of all stripes.
"In this case, the army will be stationed outside the Tiger Prison Pass for the time being, and wait and see what happens."
Liu Fan couldn't force the princes, so he could only wait outside the Tiger Prison Pass.
However, Liu Fan guessed that it should be Dong Zhuo who couldn't hold his breath.
In the matter of Hedong, Liu Fan believes that Jia Xu can do a beautiful job for him, and now Liu Fan is ready for everything, only owes Dongfeng.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Zhang Yang, Gongsun Zhan, Wang Kuang and other princes breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
When Liu Fan left the Chinese army, Cao Cao chased after him.
"Shimin, wait for me to prepare a little wine in the camp. Please also ask the people of the world to appreciate their faces, you and I will not talk about national affairs, only personal friendship. ”
Cao Cao was behind Liu Fan, stretched out his hand to call Liu Fan, and asked Liu Fan.
"Yes. Wait for me to get dressed up and have a drink with Meng De. ”
Liu Fan nodded.
Don't talk about national affairs? Liu Fan knew that at this time, no matter what, he couldn't get around national affairs.
After returning to the barracks, Liu Fan took the heavy armor, changed into light armor, took Xu Chu and Dian Wei, and went to Cao Cao's camp.
Cao Cao was waiting outside the door to greet him, and there was another person beside Cao Cao at this time.
The face is like a crown of jade, the arms are over the knees, and the shoulders are big earlobes!
Liu Bei!
Why did this guy get mixed up with Cao Cao? Yes, some time ago on the battlefield, it was Cao Cao who saved Liu Bei!
Cao Mengde: Do you want to subdue Liu Xuande? I'm afraid it's as hard as the sky!
Because Liu Bei once said in history, "Every time you go against the law, things are done."
Now that Liu Bei has just emerged, Cao Cao has just started an incident, and it can't be reflected. When the two days are entangled, it is the time to collide with each other.
"Xuande was injured by Na Lu Bu on the battlefield a few days ago, is his injury better?"
Liu Fan greeted Liu Bei.
"There is the concern of the leader of the Labor League, the time is just the blood surging, there is no external injury, take a few days of medicine, and he will be cured."
Liu Bei saluted Liu Fan and spoke.
"That's it!"
Liu Fan returned the salute, and at the invitation of Cao Cao, he entered the Chinese army's big tent.
In the big tent, Liu Fan sat on the top seat, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei sat opposite each other.
After a while, a pot of boiled wine was presented.
"I want to drink alone with the people, but I can't have fun. Xuande Gong is also a sage! Like-minded with us! So, please, the three of us will drink and talk together, and each will show his ambitions! Cao Cao raised his lord and said to Liu Fan.
