Tiger Pass, originally the territory of Chenggao County, also known as Tiger Pass, Wugao Pass, Chenggao Pass, Gukun Pass, Bishui Pass, is the eastern gateway of Luoyang, an important pass in the east.

"The Biography of Mu Tianzi" records: The Son of Heaven hunted in Zheng, there was a tiger in the Jiazhong, and the seven elites captured it to dedicate it, and the life of the East was stored in the east, because it was called the tiger prison. It is rumored that because King Zhou Mu once imprisoned the tiger here, he kept the tiger in captivity here, so it was named "Tiger Prison". This pass is connected with Songyue in the south, borders the Yellow River in the north, the mountains are staggered, it becomes a natural danger, there is a tendency of "one husband is a pass, ten thousand people are not open", it has always been a place where soldiers must fight.

If history has not changed, in real history, this will be the decisive battle place between all the central court armies of Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung princes in the late Han Dynasty against the Dong princes, and the result is naturally clear, the danger of the tiger prison is important, how can the Kwantung princes easily take it?

If it weren't for Dong Zhuo's old age, after his ambition entered Luoyang, he was corrupted by the prosperous and extravagant life, and he lost his original ambition, and he was afraid of the prosperity of the Kwantung army, I am afraid that there would be an emperor moving west and burning Luoyang, and the Tiger Prison Pass and the Sili area would not be known?

At this moment, outside the Tiger Prison Pass, in the big tent of the Chinese army in the camp of the Kwantung Alliance, Yanzhou Assassin Shi Qiaomao, Chen Liujun Taishou Zhang Miao and others were discussing the next way out for the coalition army.

"Yuan Wei, we have been staying outside the Tiger Prison Pass for more than a few days, and there is no news from the DPRK and China, what is the current situation?" Chen Liujun Taishou Zhang Miao sat in the second position and asked Yanzhou Assassin Shi Qiao Mao, they were trapped under the Tiger Prison Pass, and they couldn't advance or retreat, it was Qiao Mao who proposed to stay outside the pass and wait for news from the imperial court, and now so many days have passed, and there is no movement at all, which really makes Zhang Miao unable to sit still.

Qiao Mao, the word Yuanwei, a native of Suiyang County, Liangguo, Yuzhou, looks dignified, with a short beard, which looks extremely powerful. He is the son of the late Taiwei Qiao Xuan's clan, and his family is also a local clan, of course, Qiao Mao can have today, in addition to relying on the family and Qiao Xuan's shadow, it is naturally inseparable from the help of the party, and it has become the history of Yanzhou Assassin very early.

Of course, if history has not changed, in the future he will make way for Yuan Shao's in-law Liu Dai, Liu Dai will become the assassin of Yanzhou, and Qiao Mao will become the Taishou of Dongjun, and he will deceive the three princes of Beijing to transfer the book to various places in the state and county, Chen said that Dong Zhuo is guilty, and the Son of Heaven is in danger, hoping that the world will gather volunteers to relieve the country's difficulties, and said, "Seeing persecution, there is no way to save yourself, hoping for volunteers to solve the country's difficulties." Thus, it opened the late Han Dynasty, which was essentially a group of Yuan's protégés and party members, and formed a group of Kwantung princes in the late Han Dynasty who were handed down to later generations.

It's just that Qiao Mao, who dared to privately pretend to be the "hero of Dong Dong" who pretended to pass the edict of the Three Princes to Yizhou County, later had a bad relationship with Liu Dai, was killed by Liu Dai, and led the East County Taishou with Wang Qiu. But in this way, Yuan Shao, the leader of the Kwantung Coalition Army, was unmoved because Liu Dai was his in-law, and he didn't know what Qiao Mao, who had made great efforts for the party, would think if he knew the future? Of course, if it weren't for this, if there was no Wang Qiu to replace Qiao Mao to lead the Dongjun Taishou, if Qiao Mao's ability was not bad, it would not have been possible for Wei Wu Cao Cao to lead the Dongjun Taishou to start a family, so it can only be said that it is a cycle of cause and effect, and the world is unpredictable.

In Zhang Miao's words, his tone was obviously a little disrespectful because of his anxious collision. Moreover, as the Taishou of Chen Liujun, he should be a subordinate of Qiao Mao, the assassin of Yanzhou, so it stands to reason that he should call Qiao Mao an envoy, not Qiao Mao's expression, to show respect.

However, as one of the "Eight Chefs" of the party, Zhang Miao has a special status among the party, which is not comparable to Qiao Mao, and Qiao Mao's status today is inseparable from the party members and He Jin, so naturally he will not exaggerate his official position in front of Zhang Miao, so in order to avoid embarrassment, these two people call each other by their words, and the other few people present are naturally impossible to be like this.

"There is no urgency! No hurry! Qiao Mao stroked her short beard, shook her head and said, "As long as there is no change in the Tiger Prison, we will be safe!" ”

"......"

"Does Meng Zhuo have Meng De's letter?" Seeing that Zhang Miao still wanted to continue talking, Qiao Mao hurriedly changed the topic and said, Zhang Miao was dismissed from office because of the party very early on, and he had little political experience, Qiao Mao knew that Zhang Miao was too anxious, but Qiao Mao was experienced in politics and knew that this matter was urgent, and the more anxious he was, the easier it was to make incorrect choices, which would lead to his own danger, so he could only wait.

As for Meng De in Qiao Mao's words, it is naturally Cao Cao, don't look at them staying in the tiger prison these days, as if they haven't done anything, in fact, they have already sent someone to quietly detour to Luoyang to find out the news. After Yuan Shao's defeat and death of Liu Braid, a large number of party members and forces close to He Jin were purged by the forces of the Empress Dowager Song and Fuquan, so there were very few people they could choose, and it was simply luck, but the people they sent were found in Luoyang City who did not participate in the rebellion, Cao Cao, Zhou Yu, Liu Dai and others.

Among them, Cao Cao is the best person to contact them for the news, after all, before, he was one of the eight captains of the West Garden appointed by the first emperor Liu Hong, but when Yuan Shao decided to support Liu Braid's administrative d'état, Cao Cao rarely disobeyed Yuan Shao's intentions, and also privately admonished Yuan Shao Mo to play with fire and self-immolation, but Yuan Shao did not listen, insisted on this, and finally got away.

And Cao Cao also took the initiative to resign from the official position of military captain after Fuquan entered Beijing, stayed at home and rarely went out. It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao, who has no official position and no worries about his life, can exchange private messages with Zhang Miao like this without being discovered, otherwise if Zhou Yu and Liu Dai are replaced, it is estimated that the letter will be stopped by the surveillance personnel specially arranged by Fuquan before it is delivered to them.

"No, I want to write a letter on the way." Zhang Miao shook his head, and then felt a little remorseful: "If you had listened to Yuan Wei's words and stayed in Yanzhou to watch the situation, why would you be in today's predicament?" ”

As soon as Zhang Miao's words came out, several other local governors present who came to help He Jin and Yuan Shao with troops also echoed it, if they had known that He Jin and Yuan Shao would not have happened, they would definitely not have brought troops because of the letters of the two.

Originally, according to their ideas, He Jin was a general, even if someone found out later, they could use the general's edict to find a legal name for them to bring foreign soldiers into Beijing, but they never expected that now He Jin was actually designated as a traitor and asked the eunuch Jian Shuo to be killed, which directly made them those who had not participated in the Luoyang lesion completely killed.

If it is said that they have participated in this mutiny, defeated and dismissed, and died and the clan was wiped out, then it would be forgotten, but now they are just violating the rules, at most it is just the emperor's verbal punishment. However, the party member label they were originally proud of has now become a life talisman, and except for Zhang Miao, who is still a little reluctant to give up his "eight kitchen" label, everyone else is eager to immediately cut off contact with the party.

If they hadn't been governors of prefectures and counties, they would naturally not give up their party membership, even if the Han Dynasty raised another party rebellion, they could still bear it and wait for the time for the new party to be lifted. But now, you say that you want to let these people who have been in the position of state and county assassin Shi Taishou for a long time, let them dismiss their officials, and continue to be party members who can't be out of office at home, who would be willing to accept this matter?

It is easy to move from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to move from luxury to thrift, and once the bureaucracy gets accustomed to the taste of holding power, and then allows them to lose their rights, it will undoubtedly kill them.

This is exactly the current situation of the reduced version of the Kwantung Coalition Army, as Jia Xu expected, the local governors who cannot advance or retreat the Kwantung Coalition Army are actually hesitating about what to do next.

In fact, even if He Jin was dead, it was okay if they didn't enter Beijing in a serious name, as long as they rushed to send their respective reinforcements to Luoyang safely before Yuan Shao's support for Liu Braids was destroyed, and helped Yuan Shao stabilize the situation in the central court, they would not be so passive and confused.

It's just that, no matter what, they can't figure it out, how can Fu Quan with 20,000 cavalry travel from Liangzhou, which is farther than their march, to Jingshi Luoyang faster than them? You must know that among them, the territory of Qiao Mao, Zhang Miao and others, but Yanzhou, which is adjacent to the Sili region, and even Chenliu County is in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, but even so, they were still caught up by Fuquan's light cavalry, which really made them puzzled.

If it weren't for the fact that Fuquan used cavalry to take Luoyang before them, controlled Si Li, and sent elite soldiers to guard Tiger Pass and Mengjin Port, why would they be so embarrassed, looking at Guan Xing.

They know that the current situation really makes them a little unable to advance or retreat, so they will gather outside the Tiger Prison Pass, although they have foreign troops marching into Beijing, but there is no knocking on the pass to enter Beijing, which is a big disrespectful action.

In this life, there is no edict against Dong Zhuo, and there is a big rebellion case like Yuan Shao's support for Liu Braid, and these party members and the protégés of the Yuan family in Runan, no matter how they choose to advance or retreat, it seems that they can't change the situation that the Empress Dowager Song and Fu Quan together will replace the little emperor in ruling the government and the opposition.

Now, it is not for them to enter, without He Jin and Yuan Shao, they don't even have the righteousness to knock on the customs and enter Beijing; If the army is withdrawn, the Han system clearly stipulates that there is no edict for local state and county governors, and they are not allowed to send troops across the border at will. Although among them, there are also people who have crossed the border and sent troops because of the chaos in the neighboring counties and counties have not been punished, but they do not belong to this list, if they retreat back to their respective states and counties, they will obviously be punished by the imperial court, and with their relationship with Yuan Shao and He Jin, it is obvious that they will not easily expose this matter, and they will at least be dismissed.

For these state and county leaders of the Kwantung Coalition Army, if they retire and are punished and dismissed, this is absolutely unacceptable to them.

Therefore, in the end, after some discussion, they decided to gather troops outside the pass, wait for the will of the central court, and then decide whether to fight with the court or obey the new court.

There was a noise outside the tent, which attracted the attention of everyone present, and they all looked out and thought about what was going on.

"Report!"

A long shout came, and then a soldier ran into the tent, and everyone looked at it, but saw that it was Qiao Mao's confidant who put it outside the tent to protect the safety of the Chinese military camp.

Qiao Mao saw the person who came, and said a little irritably: "Why are you here?" If Yuan Boye came here, he would say that I have an illness and it is inconvenient to see guests! ”

Yuan Boye is the Taishou Yuan of Shanyang County, he is Yuan Shao's cousin, a native of Ruyang County, Runan County, Yuzhou. With the original political strength of the Yuan clan in Runan, his career is naturally excellent, just out of office he served as the county commander of Chang'an County, the capital of the former Han Dynasty, and then under the evaluation of the so-called outstanding political achievements during the official tenure, he immediately served as the Taishou of Shanyang County, this time Yuan Shao persuaded He Jin to order foreign soldiers to enter Beijing, as Yuan Shao's cousin, Yuan Yu naturally did not hesitate to choose to take the soldiers and horses in the county into Beijing to help Yuan Shaoqin Wang.

However, Yuan Yi, like everyone present, was caught off guard by the situation in Beijing, and no one understood how He Jin, who had been immersed in the central officialdom of the Han Dynasty for many years, was killed so quickly by the eunuch Jian Shuo, who had just gained power, and was forced to raise troops to support Liu Braid, and was finally defeated by Fuquan who arrived somehow, so that Yuan Yi could only sigh like everyone else.

In fact, everyone is not invincible, after all, everyone has brought almost tens of thousands of horses, and the number of people is more than the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass, which is why Yuan Yi has been constantly lobbying everyone to attack Tiger Prison Pass with him these days.

It's just that Yuan Yu is a member of the Yuan clan in Runan, and in the face of Yuan Shao's rebellion, the Runan Yuan clan is in danger of destruction, so they sacrifice their lives to attack the tiger prison, they understand, but if they are allowed to take risks with Yuan Yu, then they have to weigh it.

For people other than Yuan Yi, even if they don't consider the unique natural dangers of the Tiger Prison Pass itself, even if they rely on a strong attack, what is the use of capturing the Tiger Prison Pass?

If they don't send troops in their hands, even if they arrive in Luoyang, it will be useless in the face of the imperial court's army in Luoyang City, not to mention that once they really do this, there will definitely be a steady stream of Qinwang troops in the world, in other words, they have no hope of victory at all now, who will accompany Yuan to die, and will Runan Yuan be buried with him?

Therefore, they did not prepare to help Yuan Yi at all, which is also the reason why Qiao Mao was angry with his own soldiers, it was really Yuan Yi, who was originally a member of the Runan Yuan clan that everyone had to stammer, has now become a person they all hate and dare not approach.

Even if many of the people present were originally protégés of the Runan Yuan clan, but in the current situation, it is undoubtedly impossible for them to renew the life of the Runan Yuan clan, who may completely fall into the altar of Han officialdom, and turn the tide for it, people are selfish, since they can keep their official positions in a relatively simple way, so why risk fighting for others?

Yuan Shao and He Jin are all dead, and it is understandable that they surrendered to the new imperial court. If someone scolds them for turning away from their old lord and not avenging the old lord because they have defected to the new court, they don't care, the situation is like this, who can deal with Fuquan, who is now in power?
