Chapter 233: Defeated Tiger Prison
Tiger Prison Pass.
Sure enough, as Liu Wei expected, the current Tiger Prison Pass is far from being comparable to before, but seeing the swords and guns in the pass like a forest, the halberd is like a sea, five steps and a sentry, ten steps and a post, there is still a team of Xiliang troops wearing iron armor, and the dragon and the tiger are patrolling in the pass, everything is enough to show that the Tiger Prison has come to a very valuable person, this person is none other than Dong Zhuo, the imperial master of the dynasty.
A month ago, the Kwantung coalition army did not count the loss, filled with human lives, and the world's first fierce general Lu Bu could only shrink into the pass, strictly guarding and not daring to go out to face the battle, although Hu Xuan's command was handed over to Lu Bu, but after all, he was Dong Zhuo's personal commander of the Tiger Prison Pass, so he asked Dong Zhuo for help for fear that the Tiger Prison Pass would be lost.
The defense of the Tiger Pass is too important for the safety of Luoyang, so Dong Zhuo received Hu Xuan's request for help, and immediately summoned all the fierce generals under his command to lead the army straight to the Tiger Pass.
On the wall, Dong Zhuo's Shu brocade cloak was hunting in the cold wind, and the high-spirited Lu Bu stood proudly, this time Dong Zhuo finally seemed to have finally discovered Lu Bu's huge value, not only did he not get angry with him because he seized the power of the Tiger Prison Pass without authorization, but also ordered him to be promoted to the rank of the general of the prison army.
You must know that although he was also a Zhonglang general before, he was just a vain name, but now the Zhonglang general of the prison army is a real real power, and the level even surpasses Niu Fu's five facial features Zhonglang general, which can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, Dong Zhuo's attention, how can he not let him be complacent.
It was Dong Zhuo who ordered him to attack the Kwantung Coalition Army, he believed that he occupied the power of the surprise attack, and he would definitely win a big victory, you must know that he was only 8,000 wolf riders before, and the Kwantung Coalition Army that he fought fell into the water, and although there were many defeats afterwards, most of them were Hu Xuan jealous and jealous of being able to get rid of his retreat, otherwise he would be able to create a shocking feat of 8,000 people to defeat hundreds of thousands of enemy troops.
And now Dong Zhuo has given him 50,000 cavalry, and he has handed over the elite Flying Bear Army to him 2,000 people, others don't know that the Flying Bear Army is terrifying, but as Dong Zhuo's guard, he has a lot of contact every day, and he deeply understands that this is only the strength of the army of 5,000 people, and he thinks that he leads the same number of wolf cavalry in Bingzhou, and he is definitely not the opponent of the same number of Flying Bear Army.
And 50,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, that is a hundred battles of elite soldiers across the frontier for several years, once the ten thousand troops charge, the rabble of the Kwantung coalition army is just a combination of enemies.
He has even fantasized about making earth-shattering feats, and the name of Wen Hou will spread all over the world.
On the other hand, the coalition army received the news that Lu Bu led a large army to attack, and the alliance leader Yuan Shao immediately convened all the princes to discuss countermeasures.
Liu Weihuan looked around, but saw Cao Cao on the side looking at Yuan Shao with a sneer, and suddenly thought that Cao Cao had already prepared a strategic draft in history, but lost the opportunity due to the inaction of the coalition forces, so he smiled at Cao Cao and said: "Meng De has a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”
Cao Cao, who was watching coldly, suddenly heard Liu Bi's question, groaned slightly, shook his head and said: "Lu Bu's bravery is unparalleled in the world, and now Dong Thief has personally mentioned the army of a hundred battles, which can be said to be in full swing. Previously, the last general had tried his best to admonish, but Yuan Benchu..."
Speaking of this, Cao Cao glanced at Yuan Shao again and shook his head silently.
Liu Wei thought that although Cao Cao did not say it explicitly, he knew that Yuan Shaofei was a person who could endure it, otherwise there would not have been a fate in history where the two most famous strategists in Hanoi, Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, ended up in different places, and there would not have been the background behind the gate of Yuan Shao IV and the Three Dukes, and was finally annexed by the extremely weak Cao Cao.
It can be said that Cao Cao saw his childhood friend thoroughly, but Yuan Shao did not say that Cao Cao saw it thoroughly, and the powerful Yuan Shaoyan could not be defeated by the weak Cao Cao.
"I have a coalition of millions of troops, but no one dares to fight against Lu Bu." Yuan Shao's face was gloomy and glanced at everyone, looking at King Chen on the side, but saw that Liu Pet at this time had an expression of "it's none of Lao Tzu's business" at all, last time his 30,000 army suffered heavy losses, and this time Liu Pet would not let his subordinates fight.
"Since Dong Thief has come in person, the leader of this alliance should take the lead." Yuan Shao glanced at everyone with a cold face, and said sharply: "The thief general Lu Bu is coming, how can my coalition army not stand?" The princes listened to the order and went out of the village with the leader of the alliance to meet the enemy. ”
Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, personally ordered, and the princes from all walks of life had to raise troops and horses and go out of the village to meet the enemy.
Cao Cao's words are in response to Cao Di's art of war, Dong Zhuo personally came to the Tiger Prison Pass, the Xiliang army will inevitably be demoralized, but the coalition army is demoralized.
At the beginning of May 190 AD, Dong Zhuo personally raised a large army to rush to the aid of the Tiger Prison Pass, and the Xiliang fierce general Lu Bu led 50,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, 8,000 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and 2,000 Flying Bear Iron Armor Army, a total of 60,000 troops.
And the alliance leader Yuan Shao disregarded the dissuasion of Cao Cao, the commander of the cavalry, and tried his best to send troops to meet the enemy, but unfortunately the Kwantung coalition army faced the menacing Xiliang iron cavalry back and forth to kill, fighting to the death for half a day, the coalition army finally could not match, retreated more than 30 miles before camping, all the princes under the protection of their own capable generals, disgraced to pick up a life, everyone checked each other, surprised, Hongnong King Liu Wei disappeared.
Yuan Shao was furious, and ordered the generals to find Liu Bian's figure in the corpse of the chaotic army, at this time the coalition camp was in a panic, Liu Bian's importance to the coalition army did not need to be said, but after the soldiers scanned, but there was no trace of Liu Bian.
Loyal to the Han family, Beihai Taishou Kong Rong left the table angrily, and made it clear that if Liu Wei was good, Yuan Shao would be the murderer of King Hongnong, Yuan Shao looked at Kong Rong's back with a blue face, but he had no way to defend Kong Rong's accusations, and he was even more annoyed in his heart.
Don't look at Kong Rong's strength, but Kong Rong's personal reputation is too big, so big that Dong Zhuo didn't dare to offend Kong Rong easily, so he could only demote him to Qingzhou, which is seriously troubled.
Fortunately, not long after Kong Rong and the princes loyal to the Han family left, a person galloped over, arrived at the camp, turned over and dismounted and said to Yuan Shaolang: "Qiqi Alliance Master, Your Highness has returned to the camp." ”
As soon as these words came out, all the princes present breathed a sigh of relief, Yuan Shao knew that this person was Liu Wei's guard, and hurriedly asked, "Is Your Highness safe and sound?" ”
The knight said: "Although Your Highness has returned to the camp, he was seriously injured in the chaos, and I am afraid that I will not be able to meet you for the time being." His Royal Highness has a word to inform you, now that the morale of the Xiliang thief army is flourishing, our coalition army should guard Dazhai carefully, wait for the morale of the thief army to decline, and then take the initiative to attack, slowly plotting to get a tiger prison. ”
Yuan Shao's eyes were uncertain, and finally he hugged his fists and said: "Your Highness's words are the essence of the art of war, Shao takes orders!" ”
