Chapter Twenty-Three: Entering the Tiger Prison

"General Guan is okay, right?" Liu Mang looked at Guan Yu, who was a little weak at the moment, and said with concern. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"No problem! Thanks to Ziding just now, I misunderstood you before. Guan Yu originally thought that Liu Mang was just a villain who fished in troubled waters with special talents, but this time Liu Mang was able to take the initiative to come to help regardless of the danger, and suddenly changed his opinion of Liu Mang.

"Let's go back to camp! Although Lu Bu was injured, it was not easy to take it with the difficulty and danger of the Tiger Prison, so it was better to return to the camp as soon as possible and discuss it as soon as possible. As a coalition army, he immediately saw the immediate worries, and did not show too much joy at repelling Lu Bu.

Liu Mang looked at Fu Zhu appreciatively, saying that Fu Zhu is really a great talent, and it is a pity to follow Yuan Shao. According to Liu Mang's understanding of the Three Kingdoms, as soon as he defected to Yuan Shao, he drew up a plan for Yuan Shao to dominate the world, and later suggested that Yuan Shao coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. If Yuan Shao could really use this person, he would not have withdrawn from the stage of history so early. After the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao was destroyed and captured by Cao Cao, but he was extremely loyal to Yuan Shao and refused to surrender to Cao and was killed. It's a pity, if possible, Liu Mang would like to change the fate of Fu Zhu.

When he returned to the camp, Fu Zhu pulled Liu Mang and said all the way, first talking about Lu Bu's power and then discussing how to overcome the Tiger Prison Pass, and finally said his true thoughts, Fu Zhu wanted to recruit Liu Mang for Yuan Shao. But how could Liu Mang fall in love with Yuan Shao's goods? After politely refusing, he reminded Fu Zhi: "In the future, remember not to be too dead-eyed, I hope we can have a day together." ”

After Liu Mang finished speaking, he drove the horse to catch up with Zhang Fei in front, Zhang Fei is a straight person, hates a person quickly, and likes a person to be faster. Since that day, after Liu Mang and Zhang Fei drank, the relationship between the two has become a lot closer. Only one person was left to think about [refusing to take refuge in the lord? And said that you are looking forward to working with yourself? Still tell yourself not to die? Frustrated and shook his head, not knowing what to think in his heart, and after a short daze, he also sped up the speed of the horse.

When the generals returned, Yuan Shao learned that Lu Bu had been repulsed, and happily rewarded Guan Yu and the others, and ordered a banquet to celebrate. At the table, Yuan Shao deliberately arranged Liu Mang's position in a relatively high position, even better than the position of many princes. For the biggest hero of the repulsion of Lu Bu this time, all the princes felt that Liu Mang should be treated with such courtesy, and there were vague signs of treating Liu Mang as a military advisor of the coalition army, and even Yuan Shu, who had always looked down on people, came over to flatter Liu Mang.

Liu Bei because of the relationship between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, although there are not many people, but at this moment, he is really on the table with the princes, and there are indispensable people who come to toast. Looking at Gongsun Zan with a smug face, he didn't forget to take Zhao Yun with him wherever he went, for fear that others would rob him, Liu Mang wondered if he would sleep at night to prevent other princes from sleeping with Zhao Yun? The picture was so beautiful that Liu Mang unconsciously showed a hint of a smile.

"Report! ~”

Yuan Shao waved his hand to let the performing dancer go down, and then asked the herald who came in, "What's the matter?" ”

"Alliance leader, according to the spies, a large group of people have entered the Tiger Prison."

"Hmmm! Knowing this, continue to monitor the Tiger Prison Pass and order the camp to strengthen its vigilance. After letting the herald retreat, Yuan Shao laughed at the princes again: "Hehe! I didn't expect this Dong Zhuo to come really fast. ”

"What are you afraid of him doing? Directly enter the Tiger Prison Pass and kill Luoyang. Zhang Fei chewed the minced meat in his mouth, drank another bowl of wine, and said proudly.

"The third brother must not be rude!" Liu Bei hurriedly ripped Zhang Fei off.

"Huh! It doesn't matter, what General Zhang said is that Lu Bu was so brave and was seriously injured by several generals, and without Lu Bu's Tiger Prison Pass, is it not in the pocket of my 500,000 coalition troops? Yuan Shao felt that Zhang Fei's words were not rude at the moment.

Liu Mang proposed to withdraw the drink, worried about drinking and making a mistake. For the battle of the Tiger Prison Pass, the sooner the better, otherwise Lu Bu will definitely be prepared when he recovers from his injuries, and at that time he will face Lu Bu who has taken out all his strength, and it is simply a fool's dream to break through the Tiger Prison Pass.

All the princes felt justified, although they went to the army to fight and plot, and attacked the heart for the upper and the lower city, but time waited for no one. Yuan Shao immediately adopted Liu Mang's opinion, and gathered 500,000 coalition troops to attack Tiger Prison Pass early tomorrow morning.

The wine was removed and the celebration banquet was soon dispersed, and Liu Mang also returned to the camp with Cao Cao, and Liu Mang still had some things to explain to Cao Cao before attacking the Tiger Prison Pass.

After Cao Cao's failed assassination of Dong Zhuo, he never let people enter his tent easily when he fell asleep at night, because he was afraid that one day someone would follow suit and assassinate him. Although Cao Cao didn't have much power at this time, it was always good to be cautious.

After a few polite words with Cao Ren, Liu Mang walked straight into Cao Cao's tent, where Cao Cao was about to rest in his clothes. Seeing Liu Mang coming, he hurriedly put on his clothes again and let Liu Mang sit down.

The bronze candlestick was carved with beautiful patterns, and the flickering candlelight cast the shadows of the two men in the tent.

"Ziding is here for tomorrow's attack?" In fact, Cao Cao also wanted to chat with Liu Mang, but it was already dark and Liu Mang went directly to Qiao Xuan's tent after the banquet, so Cao Cao didn't bother.

"Exactly!" Liu Mang picked up the tea in his hand and took a sip and continued: "The Tiger Prison Pass is connected to Songyue in the south, the Yellow River in the north, and the mountains are staggered, which is a natural danger. There is a lot of husband, and there is a trend of no one to open. It is not easy for the coalition forces to break through the Tiger Prison Pass, which is garrisoned by 100,000 Xiliang cavalry, and to be honest, I am not optimistic about tomorrow's battle. “

"Yes! I've also thought about this question, but as you said, won't it be more difficult to break through the tiger prison when Lu Bu recovers? However, we have enough food and grass, and the men and horses are several times larger than the Xiliang army, so if we really want to fight, we can still break through the tiger prison. "How could Cao Cao not know the hardships of the Tiger Prison Pass? It can be said that as soon as you close your eyes, you can figure out the terrain of the Tiger Prison.

How could Liu Mang not know what Cao Cao's wishful thinking was? Anyway, he just has such a few people, and it's not nice to say, as long as he keeps a few generals, even if the soldiers and horses are dead, there is not much loss. If the coalition forces win, they will naturally get a piece of the pie, and the ultimate goal of the war is nothing more than profit.

"But did Brother Meng De ever think that Lu Bu was injured, and Dong Zhuo must have lost his square inch? If the coalition forces storm the Tiger Pass tomorrow, no matter how many of our casualties and Xiliang soldiers will suffer heavy losses. What if Meng De is Dong Zhuohui? Liu Mang reminded.

"Are you saying that Dong Zhuo will take the initiative to give up the Tiger Prison Pass?" Cao Cao was surprised.
