Xingyang, Guancheng

"Lord, Lejin is asking to see you outside the camp!" Xu Chu Dengden took a few steps to Cao Cao, who was eating, and handed over his hand to report.

Hearing this, Cao Cao put down the dishes and chopsticks and waited to chew and swallow the food in his mouth before he spoke, "Call him in!"

Guo Jia and Xun You, who were sitting at the bottom, glanced at each other, and their eyes showed deep doubts. As the general of the Cao army, Le Jin accompanied Cao Ren to command an army of 20,000 to Luoyang, even if there was news, he sent a scout to come, and now it seems that the appearance here does not bring good news. The two looked at each other in unison, and followed Xu Chu's back to the door.

For a moment, Le Jin, who was wearing only a white underwear and a single coat, his clothes were also torn out of shape, and he fell down in front of Cao Cao with a face full of dirt and a face of defeat, and his voice was choked, "My subordinates are ashamed, I lost the tiger prison, and I ask the lord to punish him!" ”

Lost the Tiger Prison Pass? Guo Jia and Xun You were suddenly surprised, Cao Cao's face was calm, and he ate a few mouthfuls of food, "What is the situation, take your time."

"Cao Hong has no news for a few days, Cao Ren is anxious, leaving me to guard the Tiger Prison Pass, he led the army to Luoyang alone, how do you know that yesterday Yang Shuo's army suddenly arrived, and the third watch took advantage of the night to raid the Tiger Prison Pass, and his subordinates were taken away from the Tiger Prison Pass for a while" The more Le Jin said, the quieter his voice became, and the voice behind him was almost like a mosquito.

Yang Shuojun's sneak attack on the Tiger Prison Pass is obvious, one is to block Cao Cao's westward road, and the other is to cut off Cao Ren, Cao Hong's grain road allows the two of them to chaos without a fight. Guo Jia and Xun You understood this, and Cao Cao also knew it very well, but what really puzzled him was how Yang Shuo knew that he was going to occupy Luoyang, Hongnong, and Chang'an in one fell swoop, and by the way, eliminate Yang Shuo's goal, and what gave him the courage not to stick to Hangu Pass but to raid Tiger Prison Pass?

Cao Cao thought that he might fight at Hangu Pass, but he didn't expect this battle to arrive at Tiger Prison Pass in advance, and he was surprised and angry at the same time, after a thief, a yellow-mouthed son dared to block his westward journey, and he also dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head!

"Alright, let's go down and rest first!" After bringing the last bit of food to his mouth, Cao Cao spoke.

Le Jin was stunned for a moment, losing the Tiger Prison Pass can be said to put Cao Ren, Cao Hong's two brothers and 25,000 Cao Jun to death, this is the rhythm of cutting off the head, Cao Cao just let it go so lightly?

Cao Cao wanted to let go, Le Jin was grateful to the five bodies to the ground, and he couldn't repay him with death, but Le Jin didn't want to let go of himself, and was taken by an unknown young general with the same force to seize the dangerous tiger prison of the city fortress, which would not be ridiculed by his colleagues and not be looked down upon by the heroes of the world.

With his head on the ground, Le Jin's tone was earnest, "Please give the lord another chance, I am willing to be the pioneer and capture the tiger prison!" ”

"Lord, the Tiger Prison Pass is lost, Cao Ren and Cao Hong are afraid that they are in danger, so they should quickly send someone to take advantage of Yang Shuojun's unstable foothold to conquer the Tiger Prison Pass!" Xun You gave up his hand and proposed, looked at Le Jin, who was kneeling down, and said: "Le Wenqian takes the lead in every battle, and he is eager to fight, and he can be a pioneer!" ”

"Zixiao and Zilian commanded nearly 30,000 troops, and they are the usual generals who follow me to fight in the south and the north, Yang Shuo raided the Tiger Prison Pass and wanted to destroy my 30,000 horses, not afraid of being supported to death?" Cao Cao said.

"Lord, since Yang Shuo dares to raid the Tiger Prison Pass, he must be sure to take down the two generals Cao Ren and Cao Hong, otherwise there is no need to do this death-risking move!" Xun Yu said solemnly.

Cao Cao smiled, "Gongda Gao looks at this person, only Hongnong and Hedong, with more than 40,000 troops, how different is it from Yuan Highway, but there is no Yuan Highway!" ”

Hearing this, Guo Jia smiled and stood on one side. Cao Cao has never been a person who despises others, not to mention that he attaches no less importance to Yang Shuo than the Chihu in the east, and this time he has almost exhausted half of his troops in Chang'an, and the purpose is to solve Yang Shuo's hidden danger once and for all. Although he said it lightly, the anxiety in his heart was more nervous than everyone now.

Xun You almost beat his chest when he heard this, if Yang Shuo is so unbearable, why do you need to go out in person, why do you have to send so many troops, I still pressed my excitement in my heart, and said slowly: "No matter what, the Tiger Prison Pass is the only way for my army to march eastward and must be recaptured, besides, Cao Ren and Cao Hong don't have much grain and grass to bring, I'm afraid the two of them are really in danger if they are slow!" ”

Cao Cao waved his hand, "Gongda is worry-free, the army has arrived in Xingyang, it can be reached in one day, Wen Qian is hurrying away, the soldiers are tired and the battle is not good!" ”

Everyone thought about it, and it was true, and they didn't say anything, and after breakfast, they drove with the army and went straight to the tiger prison.

"Bong-hyo, why didn't you say anything today?" Xun You rode a horse and walked side by side with Guo Jia, looking at Guo Jia who was wandering in the world, and there was a lot of blame in his tone.

February's was still cold and shivering, Guo Jia tightened his clothes in his arms, and his eyes looked ahead, "The lord is wise and martial, how can he not know the consequences of Yang Shuo's raid on the Tiger Prison Pass now."

Hearing this, Xun Yu was anxious, "Since the lord understands the consequences, why is it uncomfortable to look at it slowly!" ”

"What is Gongda doing in a hurry?" Guo Jia laughed and said: "Look, I can't figure out such a simple thing when I'm in a hurry!" Glancing at the dull Xun You, Guo Jia continued: "Since the Tiger Prison Pass has been captured by Yang Shuo, it will definitely be defended in every possible way, how can it be attacked in a hurry, it is better to recuperate and recharge."

"The soldiers are fast, don't you know?" Xun You shouted in a low voice, "Yang Shuojun seized the Tiger Prison Pass, how could he have thought that we would fight back?" ”

Guo Jia turned his head and his eyes were sharp and thorough, Xun You was a little hairy, as if he was very innocent, and his voice was lowered, "Did I say something wrong?" ”

"Yang Shuo is not an ordinary person, don't treat him as a child, when we reach the Tiger Prison Pass, maybe Yang Shuo is waiting for us at the Gate!" Guo Jia smiled lightly, and looked at the blue sky in a daze.

Xun You obviously couldn't accept Guo Jia's remarks, frowned and thought for a while, then asked, his eyes full of disbelief, "A concubine, less than half a year of development, but Hongnong and Hedong, with tens of thousands of troops, is indeed good, but how high can it be, so fearful?" ”

"Otherwise, why do you need so many soldiers and horses on this expedition, and Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Man Chong, you and I are with you?" Guo Jiadao.

"Isn't it to guard against Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang?" Xun You's eyes widened suddenly, and his eyes were full of incredulity.

"Just a horse thief, just send a general!" Guo Jia said lightly.

seemed to be digesting the deep meaning of Guo Jia's words, and after being silent for a long time, Xun You said calmly: "Then according to Fengxiao, Cao Ren and Cao Hong are afraid that they have suffered?" ”

"I didn't say that!" Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, "Gongda can't frame me!" ”

glanced at Guo Jia deeply, and then looked at Cao Cao's majestic figure under the big tree, Xun You's ethereal eyes seemed to have light. If he is not inferior to Guo Jia in terms of military strategy, he is far inferior to Guo Jia in terms of human feelings and insight into people's hearts.
