Zhao Yun and Lu Bu fought for a hundred and ten rounds before separating from Lu Bu, because it was already dark at this time, and it was not suitable to continue the battle, although both sides lit torches, but Zhao Yun and Lu Bu invariably separated.

After Lu Bu separated from Zhao Yun, he looked at Zhao Yun and said angrily: "It's too late today, if I continue with you tomorrow, I will definitely divide up." ”

Zhao Yun sneered: "If you want to fight, you can fight, what is so much nonsense?" ”

Lu Bu did not reply, but raised his right hand and waved, and then jumped up with everyone behind him, jumping to the head of the Tiger Prison Pass, and at the same time, their horses also entered the Tiger Prison Pass through the gap in the open Tiger Prison Gate.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao also ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

After the princes returned to the camp, they were obviously much more polite to Chen Qun and Liu Bei, and everyone could see that no matter how they calculated, in the face of the absolute power displayed by Chen Qun's forces, everything was a floating cloud.

Cao Cao was also deeply worried about the combat strength of the generals under Chen Qun, because his subordinates could fight against Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, and it seemed that there was only one Xu Chu now, but Cao Cao knew that if he wanted to win on the battlefield, the important thing was the general's strategy, not force.

In a false and polite voice, the princes of all walks of life returned to their camps with their own hearts.

Yuan Shao, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Chen Qun remained to discuss.

Yuan Shao said in a deep voice after the idle people and others left: "Changwen, what should we do next?" Today, I see that the defenders at the head of the Tiger Prison Pass are very well guarded, and if you want to forcibly take the Tiger Pass, I am afraid that you will have to pay a very heavy price, and the average combat strength of the Xiliang Army is much higher than that of our army. ”

Chen Qun nodded: "I know this, what do you mean?" ”

Hearing this, Sun Jian frowned and said, "Why don't I directly lead the troops around the Tiger Prison Pass tomorrow and find an opportunity to fight the Xiliang Army behind the Tiger Pass." ”

Cao Cao continued: "Wentai, it can be, but most of your subordinates are infantry troops, and it will be a great loss to meet the Xiliang Iron Cavalry on the plain, so it is better for me to join you, so that the two of us can also take care of each other." ”

Chen Qun nodded: "This is very good, then I will attack the Tiger Prison Pass head-on, contain the main force of the Xiliang Army in the Tiger Prison Pass, and prevent them from retreating to put pressure on you." ”

Hearing this, Sun Jian looked at Chen Qun and frowned and said: "Changwen, head-on containment of the Xiliang Army on the Tiger Prison Pass will cause great casualties, and the Chen family army has already paid more than 100,000 lives, and the price is too great!" ”

Chen Qun smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Okay, let's not argue, it's decided like this, someone has to contain the Xiliang Army on the Tiger Prison head-on, otherwise, if the Xiliang Army retreats, Wentai and Meng De will suffer a catastrophe." ”

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this: "Changwen, it's better for me to cooperate with Sun Wentai to bypass the Tiger Prison Pass to attack the Xiliang Army, after all, if a major breakthrough can be made after the Tiger Pass, then the Xiliang Army on the Tiger Pass will have to go back to defense." ”

Chen Qun nodded: "Okay, I will attack the front of the Tiger Prison Pass, and the Yuan League Lord will bring all the princes to press the battle for me, so that I can attack the Tiger Prison Pass with all my might." ”

Yuan Shao also understood that he couldn't think about saving the main force anymore, so he smiled slightly: "Changwen, what are you talking about?" I also have a share in the frontal attack on Tiger Prison Pass, and the exchange of our two armies will cause a lot of pressure on the Xiliang army at the head of the city. ”

Chen Qun smiled slightly: "So it's the best!" Since everyone has discussed it, let's do it, have a good night's rest tonight, and act separately tomorrow. Leave! ”

After Chen Qun finished speaking, he hugged his fists and saluted everyone, and then left with Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, and everyone dispersed.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo in the Tiger Prison Pass was also discussing with the generals, but the atmosphere was not warm, but very dull, obviously everyone was shocked by the combat power shown by the Guannei Army today, plus Hua Xiong was killed, everyone had a feeling of sadness.

Li Ru first broke the dull atmosphere: "Lord, brothers, I didn't expect that the combat power of the Guannai coalition army this time is so much higher than we imagined!" But you don't have to worry too much, brothers. Again, I don't believe that the coalition will be monolithic, our main enemies are still Chen Qun and Cao Cao, and the others are not to be feared. ”

Dong Zhuo said in a deep voice when he heard this: "Wen You, it seems that I still underestimate the heroes of the world, but I didn't expect the combat power of Chen Qun's subordinates to be so strong!" There are two people who are equal to Feng Xian's combat power, which is too dangerous! ”

Dong Zhuo seemed to have made a decision when he said this, he sat up straight and looked at everyone: "Brothers, it seems that we must avoid the edge of the coalition army in the Guannai as soon as possible, let's do this, tomorrow I will lead the army back to Luoyang, Feng Xian, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Xu Rong, the four of you will bring 200,000 troops to defend the Tiger Prison Pass for me." ”

"Subordinates obey!" Lu Bu and the other four hugged their fists together.

Dong Zhuo nodded: "The rest of the people will return to Luoyang with me, and then first drive all the people in Luoyang to the outside of the pass, and then take away all the wealth that can be taken away in Luoyang, and finally loot all those big families." ”

"Yes!" Everyone clenched their fists in unison to receive their lives.

At the same time that Chen Qun and Dong Zhuo made decisions one after another, in a secret room of Yingchuan Academy, Jia Xu respectfully hugged his fists at a middle-aged man in front of him and said, "Teacher, the coalition forces of all the princes have been blocked by Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army outside the Tiger Prison Pass, I don't know what we should do next?" ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man shook the feather fan in his hand lightly: "Wait! ”

Jia Xu looked at the middle-aged man puzzled: "Wait? Teacher, the students think that it is not the best strategy for us to passively wait like this, and we should try to add fuel to the fire, so that the princes of Guannai can fight each other, so that the troubled times will really begin, and we can also help Cao Cao ascend to the throne. ”

The middle-aged man laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha......, Wenhe, it seems that you still haven't got the true inheritance of being a teacher, inaction is better than promising, at this time, waiting is the best choice, and inaction is the biggest act."

If you think about it, the coalition of princes from all walks of life was blocked by the Xiliang Army under the Tiger Prison Pass, then it must be Chen Qun and Yuan Shao who led the army to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, and the others, Cao Cao will take one or two ways around the Tiger Prison Pass to attack the Xiliang Army, as for the remaining princes, they will definitely be afraid of the Xiliang Army and try to preserve their strength, and they will not take any action. ”

Hearing this, Jia Xu nodded and said: "The students understand what the teacher said, but if we don't add fuel to the fire, it will be difficult for the princes from all walks of life to fight, and if the princes from all walks of life don't fight, they will drink and talk all day long under the tiger prison, and then things may deviate from our control." ”

The middle-aged man smiled when he heard this: "How is it possible? They seem to be united now, but in fact they are all waiting, secretly observing, once they think that the world is chaotic enough, even if they stand on their own, they will not be attacked by the group, then the world will really be in chaos, now the difference is only a matter of heat, what we have to do is still wait. ”

Hearing this, Jia Xu bowed to the middle-aged man: "The student understands!" What the teacher means is that if the heat is not enough, no matter how much we push it, it will be useless, and when the time comes, everything will naturally develop into the result we want. ”

The middle-aged man nodded: "Yes!" Now that we have achieved the result we want, since the princes of all walks of life have risen together, will it be far from them annexing each other? We'll just wait. ”

"Thank you for your advice!" Jia Xu bowed to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man nodded: "Wenhe, in the next two years, don't go anywhere, just continue to study in the academy, I found you a good junior brother Guo Jia, you have time to take him with you." ”

"Students take orders!" Jia Xu bowed to the middle-aged man and turned to leave.

Early in the morning of the second day, as soon as the soldiers under Sun Jian's command had finished eating and gathered, Zhang Liao and Wen Chou each came to Sun Jian's camp with 5,000 cavalry.

After Sun Jian got the report, he hurriedly went out of the camp to meet the two.

Zhang Liao and Wen Chou immediately dismounted when they saw Sun Jian, and then Wen Chou came to Sun Jian and hugged his fists and said: "General Sun, the head of my family ordered the two of us to bring 5,000 cavalry each to obey the general's dispatch." ”

Sun Jian was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is really good! Cavalry is the Achilles' heel of our army, and with the help of two generals and 10,000 cavalry, we will definitely be able to achieve a big victory against Dong Zhuo this time. ”

Zhang Liao hugged his fists when he heard this: "Yes, General Sun, these brothers all survived a whole day of fighting with the Xiliang cavalry, and their individual combat effectiveness is definitely higher than most of the soldiers in the Xiliang cavalry." ”

Sun Jian said with a straight face when he heard this: "I didn't expect Changwen to hand over such an elite cavalry to me to command, Changwen has a heart, and the two generals have sent someone to tell Changwen that I, Sun Wentai, will never let him down." ”

"The last general will send someone to pass the word!" Zhang Liao gave Sun Jian a fist salute and then turned to leave.

Wen Chou then hugged his fist at Sun Jian and said, "General Sun, my lord will hand over all the remaining 8,000 cavalry to General Yan Liang to help Liu Bei." The lord had clear instructions that if General Sun needed more manpower, General Yan Liang would support him at any time. The lord hoped that General Sun would understand his difficulties. ”

Sun Jian nodded when he heard this: "I understand!" Changwen did whatever it took to deal with Dong Zhuo, how could I not understand! Then the two generals will work hard. General Cheng Pu, the commander of the cavalry under my command, will fully cooperate with the two generals to defeat Dong Zhuo's cavalry. ”

At this time, Zhang Liao had already returned, Wen Chou and Zhang Liao clasped their fists together and said, "The last general will take the order!" ”

Sun Jian laughed, and then took Zhang Liao and Wen Chou's hands and entered his camp.

At the same time, Liu Bei looked at Yan Liang, who came to help him with eight thousand cavalry, and sighed: "Changwen is really ruthless this time, and he has to take Dong Zhuo's life!" We must also do everything we can to help him. ”

Yan Liang nodded: "Brother Xuande may not know, Changwen transferred 200,000 infantry troops from Hanoi to come to the Tiger Prison Pass, I don't know what Changwen thinks, in case of losing the battle against Dong this time, then it will be difficult for him to turn over again, he has already put all his family resources on board." ”

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this: "Changwen is planning to fight with Dong Zhuo?" ”

Yan Liang shook his head: "We all persuaded last night, but we couldn't persuade at all, Brother Xuande, next I hope you can lead us to open the situation as soon as possible after the Tiger Prison Pass, and try your best to reduce the pressure under the Tiger Prison Pass, to be honest, I don't want to see a situation that I shouldn't see." You and Sun Wentai are more active, and Zhang Liao and Wen Chou and I will help each other, this is also our private decision. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he hugged his fist at Yan Liang and said: "I understand what General Yan means, General Yan invites us to go to the camp to discuss the route of the march, and then start immediately." ”

"Good! General Liu, please! Yan Liang saluted Liu Bei, and followed Liu Bei into Liu Beijun's camp with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

After the sun was high, Sun Jian's army first pulled out the camp and left, and then Liu Bei's army also pulled out the camp and left, Cao Cao saw that Chen Qun sent all the cavalry to Sun Jian and Liu Bei, and sighed to his subordinates who were discussing: "Chen Changwen is planning to fight with Dong Zhuo this time, if nothing else, he will definitely transfer infantry troops from Hanoi to attack the Tiger Pass." ”

Xi Zhicai got up and said, "Lord, that's for sure, it depends on how many people Chen Changwen will transfer over." If he dares to mobilize 200,000 infantry troops, then I really admire him! ”

Cao Cao shook his head when he heard this: "What I'm worried about is that he will drop 200,000 infantry troops and pour the strength of the Chen family to fight against Dong Zhuo." ”

Xi Zhicai frowned when he heard this: "Lord, if Chen Changwen really does this, then the situation will be too favorable for him!" Since then, Chen Qun has accumulated enough prestige.

It is impossible for any of the princes to forcibly demolish the Chen Ji Restaurant in their territory, and even if someone forcibly demolishes it, it will be the first person to return to the Chen family, and they will not kill people together. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said: "That's what I'm worried about, for Chen Qun, this battle is nothing more than three results, one is Dong Zhuo's defeat, Chen Qun's fame and fortune are gained, and most of the troops under his command are preserved."

The second is Dong Zhuo's victory, Chen Qun's defeat, and Chen Qun retreated to Hanoi with the remaining tens of thousands of elites. But everyone in the world saw Chen Qun's courage to fight Dong Zhuo at all costs, and there would definitely be a large number of righteous people who defected to him, and Chen Qun would regain his strength in a very short time.

The third is that Chen Qun and Dong Zhuo are both defeated, Chen Qun is still fame and fortune, and Dong Zhuo will be jointly killed by the remaining allies, so that Chen Qun is especially honored although defeated. ”

Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "So my lord, we must also let the world see our determination to fight against Dong Zhuo!" We can't let down the big families who support us behind us, we must show the strength to take advantage of our forces. ”

Cao Cao nodded: "We don't need to fight with Dong Zhuo like Chen Qun!" Chen Qun is also a little back, and Dong Zhuo ate more than 100,000 cavalry before he officially went into battle, so he had to take this risky move, but we can earn fame and fortune without losing our strength. ”

"That's right! The lord can transfer another 50,000 cavalry over, so that we will become the absolute main force against Dong Zhuo's cavalry next, Chen Qunbu's army is in the Tiger Prison, and after our cavalry is in the Tiger Prison, we must not let Chen Qun out of the limelight. Xi Zhicai's eyes were bright and authentic.

Cao Cao nodded: "Okay!" That's it! Cao Ren obeyed the order, you should speed back to Yanzhou and transfer 50,000 elite horses over, and you must arrive here in the evening the day after tomorrow at the latest. ”

"Subordinates take orders!" Cao Ren gave Cao Cao a fist salute and then turned and ran away.

Seeing this, Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "When General Cao Ren arrives with reinforcements, we can just know the strategic intentions of Sun Jian and Liu Bei, and then we will directly insert in front of them and let them be our backup." ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this: "Yes! That is the most ideal ending, but Sun Wentai and Liu Xuande, I'm afraid they won't give us a chance. ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked at the crowd: "Okay, brothers, let's do it first!" In the past two days, we have watched Chen Qun and Yuan Shao attack the city, and we must find out the advantages and disadvantages of their siege, so that when we fight with them in the future, we can deal with it calmly, this is a very rare opportunity to understand the combat strength of Chen Qun's subordinates, you must not be paralyzed! ”

"Subordinates take orders!" Cao Hong, Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin and Xi Zhicai all got up and hugged their fists to receive their lives, and then dispersed one after another.
