The next day, the princes of all walks of life held another meeting in the Bishui Pass to discuss the attack on the Tiger Pass.
Cao Cao coughed twice, and took the lead in speaking: "The danger of the Tiger Prison Pass is not lost to the Bishui Pass, and there are 80,000 defenders in the city, plus Dong Zhuo's defeated army, it is about 110,000, and Dong Zhuo has suffered a loss in the Bishui Pass, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult to lure him out again!" ā
Dongjun Taishou Tao Qian answered: "Meng De, you have said a little less, there are still 50,000 troops in Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo will definitely transfer troops from Luoyang after this defeat, I am afraid that when we arrive at the Tiger Prison, there will be more than 110,000 troops in the city." ā
Beihai Taishou Kong Rong said worriedly: "It seems that this Tiger Prison Pass is even more difficult to attack than Bishui Pass, Dong Zhuo Pifu, the country and the people have come to this point, and my Han is in danger!" ā
Lu Jun opened his throat when he was too guarded by Du Fu Weiden: "I'm afraid of a fart, isn't Bishui Pass dangerous, and it hasn't been taken down in the same way, what is Dong Zhuo's old puppet afraid of?" ā
Liu Che coughed twice and said: "Mrs. Du is reasonable, you can't lose your own morale before you start a war, Dong Zhuo goes against the sky and causes trouble in the Han family, and he will inevitably be wiped out by loyal people like us!" ā
Gao Chang smiled faintly and said loudly: "Tao Taishou just reminded me of something, I already have a strategy to break the enemy!" ā
Cao Cao immediately asked, "What is General Gao's plan?" ā
Gao Chang paused and said: "It's because Dong Zhuo draws troops to Luoyang, Luoyang must be empty... ā
"What about the emptiness of Luoyang, the Tiger Prison is the only place to go to Luoyang, if you can't take the Tiger Prison, my army can't attack Luoyang!" Before Gao Chang could finish speaking, Yuan Shao interrupted Gao Chang's words very rudely.
Gao Chang said lightly: "Taiwei Yuan doesn't have to be so anxious, a certain family hasn't finished talking yet!" ā
"You..." A trace of gloom appeared on Yuan Shao's face, but he quickly suppressed it, "It's me who is anxious, don't be surprised by General Gao!" ā
Gao Chang said indifferently: "Tiger Prison Pass is indeed the only place for our coalition army to march into Luoyang, but that is only relative to the land route. ā
"Waterways."
"Yellow River!"
Among the princes, Zhu Yuanzhang and Yang Su shouted out almost at the same time.
Gao Chang nodded, "My army marched into the Tiger Prison to attract Dong Zhuo's main force, and then sent a partial division to the Yellow River, raided Mengjin, and coerced Luoyang!" ā
Yang Su immediately said: "My Jingzhou army is familiar with water warfare and short of land warfare, and the previous major wars have always followed you, so today it is the turn of our Jingzhou army to make a contribution." ā
Zhu Yuanzhang was not to be outdone, "A certain Jiangnan sailor is also across the Yangtze River, and this matter should be left to me!" ā
Cao Cao stopped, "General Zhu is slow, Yang Tingshi used to be a servant of the court, and he knew the terrain around Luoyang well, and General Zhu had never been to Luoyang in Jiangnan, according to Cao's view, this matter should be handed over to Yang Tingshi!" ā
Everyone nodded, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang had a bad criminal record, if Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to be rescued by King Qin, everyone was not very comfortable. Zhu Yuanzhang saw that everyone agreed with Yang Su's going, and immediately realized that it was because of his background, so he no longer competed with Yang Su, and sat back in his seat silently.

The five counties under the rule of Bingzhou are Taiyuan County, Jinyang County, Mayi County, Shangdang County, Yanmen County, the population of the entire Bingzhou is about 1.6 million, not as large as Jizhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, but it has a very important strategic position and steep terrain. There are Yanmen in the north, and there are Jingcheng and Huguan in the south, all of which are dangerous passes in the world.
Jing Cheng is only more than 80 miles away from Zhongshan County, the northernmost part of Jizhou, Yue Fei led an army of 70,000 to Zhongshan County day and night, seeing that it was getting late, he was stationed in Zhongshan County that night. At night, Yue Fei was reading a book in the tent, but saw the deputy general Su Lie hurriedly breaking into the big tent.
When Yue Fei saw that it was Su Lie who came in, he immediately smiled and said, "It's Dingfang, what's wrong?" ā
Yue Fei's attitude is quite rare in the army, he has always been strict in governing the army on weekdays, even if he treats his own son Yue Yun with a serious face, but he likes to treat Su Dingfang Yue Fei from the bottom of his heart.
At first, when Gao Chang appointed Su Lie as the deputy governor, Yue Fei thought that this was the official eunuch of which family took a shortcut to become the deputy governor, but as time passed, Yue Fei felt the demeanor of a general from this young man who was only five or six years older than his eldest son Yue Yun, and his ability to command troops made Yue Fei's eyes shine, and Yue Fei was convinced that this young man was indeed a rare handsome talent.
Su Lie immediately arched his hand and said, "Governor Qiyu, the scout has come to report, according to us, there is a force of nearly 20,000 people only thirty miles away that is marching towards Zhongshan County. ā
Yue Fei smiled faintly, "Dingfang, whose subordinates do you think this army will be?" ā
Su Lie said without thinking: "The transfer of more than 20,000 people in Jizhou will definitely have an official document delivered to the governor's account, but this army and horses are coming from the north, this must be Dong Zhuo's secret order to send troops to attack and harass my Jizhou, in a vain attempt to force the main guild division to rescue." ā
Yue Fei bowed his head and said: "It's really the same as what heroes see, and a certain family also thinks so, but what Dong Zhuo never dreamed of was that the lord not only went to the sour jujube division, but also sent a large army to attack Bingzhou, these 20,000 troops are the fat on our lips!" ā
Su Lie also smiled: "Our army can also pretend to be a partial division of this army and go to Jingcheng to deceive the city, and it will take the gate of the annexation of the state without much effort." ā
Yue Fei immediately ordered: "Order the generals to discuss the account. ā
Su Lie arched his hand and said, "No! ā

Yue Fei and Su Lie's analysis is not wrong, this army of soldiers and horses was indeed sent by Li Mi to attack Jizhou, the first two generals, it was Wei Yan and Wen Ping, who were born with Huang Zhong, the two led 20,000 war horses, and there were talks and jokes along the way, in their opinion, 20,000 war horses raided Jizhou, and this credit was clearly easy to come by.
But at this moment, the mutation was sudden, and the shouts of killing in the surrounding mountains and forests were everywhere, and the longbow was drawn, carrying a strong wind, and the arrows were ruthlessly shot towards the Xiliang army.
"Hurry up." Wei Yan was shocked and hurriedly ordered the whole army to line up, but there were very few people who took care of it, and most of them were in a mess.
Su Dingfang looked coldly at the messy Xiliang army below at the high slope, smiled coldly, and ordered: "Rolling wood, stone, put!" ā
With Su Dingfang's order, countless huge stones and thick logs rolled down the mountains on both sides, and the Xiliang soldiers who were smashed on the ground turned over on their backs, killing and injuring countless people.
