Chapter 70: The Battle for Luoyang (8)

Luoyang, Tiger Prison Pass.

Two of the generals of the Cao army dressed in bright light armor stood on the tiger prison, the two of them had a square and circumferential appearance, slightly elegant, the corners of the mouth two strands of beard straight, one of them was of medium stature, two pairs of narrow eyes were scorching, and the other was slightly short, and there seemed to be infinite strength in his lean body.

These two people, the tall Cao Cao's relatives general Cao Ren, Cao Zixiao, the dwarf Yangping Patriotic Le Jin, Le Wenqian.

Cao Ren commanded 20,000 Cao soldiers to arrive at the Tiger Prison Pass, looking majestic and magnificent, standing under the pass there was a momentum that made people breathless, and suddenly sighed, and climbed up the city tower with Le Jin to see the demeanor of the Tiger Prison Pass

Tiger Prison Pass is located in the east of Luoyang, as the eastern gateway of Luoyang and an important pass, because the king of the Western Zhou Dynasty Mu raised tigers in this enclosure and got its name. It 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 trend of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open", and it is a place for soldiers of all dynasties.

Standing on the gate and looking into the distance, just in front, the Central Plains land has an unobstructed view, from now on the east, until the east is facing the sea, there is no danger pass, the West Liang Iron Riding can be vertical and horizontal like the wind. Looking to the north, the stretching Yellow River disappears into the sky in a white line, and a trace of the unique water vapor of the Yellow River can be smelled in the air, and the sound of the surging Yellow River water lapping can be faintly heard in the ears. To the south, there are endless mountains, towering into the sky as far as the eye can see. Looking back, the land of Henan is like a lake in the mountains looking up at the sky quietly, quiet and peaceful, rich and colorful, but all of this was ruined by Dong Zhuo.

Back then, Cao Cao's eighteenth road princes gathered under the Tiger Prison, the first town, and the later general Nanyang guarded Yuan Shu. The second town, Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu. The third town, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kongling. The fourth town, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai. The fifth town, Hanoi County Taishou Wang Kuang. In the sixth town, Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao. The seventh town, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao. The eighth town, Shanyang is too guarded by Yuan. The ninth town, Jibei Xiang Baoxin. The tenth town, Beihai Taishou Kongrong. The eleventh town, Guangling is too guarded by Zhang Chao. The twelfth town, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian. The thirteenth town, Xiliang is too shou Ma Teng. The fourteenth town, Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan. The fifteenth town, the party is too guarded by Zhang Yang. The sixteenth town, Wucheng Hou Changsha guarded Sun Jian. The seventeenth town, Hou Bohai of Qi Township, guarded Yuan Shao. All the roads of military horses, the pennant covers the sun, the leaders of the civil officials and military generals, cast Luoyang, staged a pile of blood-boiling stories, and now things are not people, the eighteen princes of the year, and now there is not much left, Han Fu, Kong Ling, Liu Dai, Wang Kuang, Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi, Bao Xin, Zhang Chao, Tao Qian and other ten road princes in front of the grave of the withered grass grew stubble after stubble, Sun Jian died early fortunately he has a bullish son, the rest of Zhang Yang, Kong Rong, Gongsun Zan is not far from extinction, Fang can compete for hegemony today is Yuan Shao, The two brothers of Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, the son of Cao Cao, Ma Teng, and Sun Jian, and the second Liu in a corner of peace.

Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water,

The waves sweep away the heroes.

Success or failure turns empty.

The green mountains are still there,

Several degrees of sunset red.

White-haired fisherman on the river,

Accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze.

A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet.

How many things have happened in ancient and modern times,

It's all laughing and talking.

The wheel of history is like an old scalper pulling a broken car at dusk, unhurried, unhurried, unhurried, the sun is still the same, the hero is at the end, and the beauty is twilight.

Now that eight years have passed, the pattern of the world has changed greatly, and the mottled dark purple bloodstains on the wall seem to remind people of the tragic scene when Xiongguan was under the Xiongguan, Jin Ge fought and blood flowed like a river.

"I think that at the beginning, Cao Gong stabbed Dong Weicheng, gathered the banner of righteousness, raised righteous soldiers, and the soldiers were not more than 10,000, but there were only a few people in you and me, and now they are majestic in Yan and Yu, what kind of style?" Cao Ren held the wall with both hands, feeling emotional, and the cold wind blew his eyes almost into a line.

"Yes, when you and I followed Cao Gong, eight years have passed in the blink of an eye, how could you have thought that there would be a few days of achievement!" Le Jin also sighed.

"How majestic Lu Bu was back then, in this battle against Liu Guanzhang, who would have thought that today the two of them live together in Xuzhou to resist Cao Gong, what a wonderful life!" Thinking of being ridiculous, Cao Ren grinned unconsciously.

"What about the majesty, I was not beaten by Cao Gong in the same way!" Le Jin's eyes closed slightly, looking at the great rivers and mountains in front of him, and sighed unconsciously.

The scenery in front of the pass is beautiful and colorful, but now is not the time to look, Cao Ren turned around and walked towards the pass, his eyes seemed to be unfinished, "Okay, what are you doing so much, when you clean up Yang Shuo, the clown who jumps off the beam, Lu Bu will be cut off by Cao Gong sooner or later!" ”

Le Jin also retracted his reluctant gaze and followed closely behind Cao Ren, "I really don't know how this Yang Shuo came out, it only took half a year for Cao Gong to sit still!" ”

"It doesn't matter how he came out, when Cao Gong's army has arrived, he is nothing." Stepping on the steps paved with square stones, Cao Ren said as he walked, "I don't need Cao Gong to do it at all, as long as I arrive, he will flee when he hears the news!" ”

Hearing what Cao Ren said so lightly, Le Jin hurriedly said: "The general must not take it lightly, listening to Cao Gong's words, this person is not simple, Xu Huang and Qin Qiong under his command are all fierce generals who can compete with Xu Chu!" ”

"Haha! Wen Qian is too worried! Cao Ren stretched out his hand and patted Le Jin on the shoulder, "I'm just joking!" Cao Gongzhi has always been very accurate, and there are only a handful of people who can be praised by him, how can I despise him! ”

The two of them had already walked down the city tower as they spoke, and Cao Ren suddenly stopped and asked, "Is there any news for Zilian?" ”

Le Jin shook his head, "I haven't received any message from him since yesterday!" ”

"Zilian has always been cautious, why hasn't there been a message after two days?" Cao Ren asked with a frown.

Lejin shook his head again; "There are no other forces in Luoyang, there is no possibility of accidents, it should be that they are planning to seize Hangu Pass with peace of mind, and they forgot about the message!"

Cao Ren nodded unconsciously, and looked up at Le Jin: "The Tiger Prison is dangerous, Wen Qian, you stay here and wait for Cao Gong first, and I can lead the army to Luoyang and pick up Zilian at any time!" ”

"Although the Tiger Prison Pass is dangerous, Xingyang and Luoyang are under our control, and the significance is not great, and the situation in Luoyang is unknown, so it is better to go together to take care of it!" Lejin said.

Cao Ren sighed and glanced in the direction of Luoyang, "Zilian has not heard any news for two days, I have a faint feeling of uneasiness in my heart, but I am not sure for a while, or I can rest assured that you will stay in the tiger prison!" ”

After thinking about it, Cao Ren didn't realize that something unexpected would happen when he went to Luoyang, so Le Jin nodded, "It's okay!" Wait for the lord to come, and then go to Luoyang with him! ”

The two said goodbye to each other, and Cao Ren commanded 20,000 foot soldiers to rush to Luoyang along the Chenggao line, while Le Jin stayed behind to guard the tiger prison and wait for Cao Cao's arrival.
