Chapter 142: Ambush the Tiger Prison
"Zhang Liao!" Looking at the people outside the camp gate, Cao Cao and the generals behind him let out an exclamation at the same time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Ah, Zhang Liao, you dare to come alone and wait for me to capture you alive and sacrifice it to my lord." Dian Wei yelled, urging him to step forward and prepare to start.
Why did Zhang Liao come here alone? Cao Cao was puzzled and shouted: "Evil is coming, and move slowly, it's not too late to ask him about his intentions." ”
Zhang Liao saw that Dian Wei had stopped, so he stood the crescent halberd at his side, clasped his hands into fists, and said, "Liao, I've seen Cao Gong." ”
Cao Cao came closer, looked up and down, and asked, "Zhang Liao, why did you come to my allied camp alone?" ”
"Your Majesty's dictation, Xuanqingzhou Mu Cao Cao entered the Tiger Prison to discuss the elimination of Dong Zhuo." After Zhang Liao meticulously read out the edict of the Son of Heaven, he saw Cao Cao and the generals looking at him with suspicion, so he briefly recounted what had happened recently, "After His Majesty went out with the army, Henan Yin Zhujun and Jia Xu Jia Wenhe were ordered to lead hundreds of civil and military officials to move millions of people in Luoyang to send a letter to Guguan and go west to Chang'an. After Li Ru got the news, he led the army to chase and suppress, His Majesty took the opportunity to leave Guo Yan's camp, along the way, beheaded Li Su, defeated Guo Yan, Lu Bu, Gao Shun and I were fortunate to be valued by Your Majesty, and were able to follow Your Majesty's side. Just an hour ago, I waited for the Tiger Prison Pass to be opened, and His Majesty specially ordered me to come and invite Cao Gong to enter the customs to discuss the good strategy of killing Dong Zhuo. ”
A few words, but Cao Cao was shocked, moving millions of people, this is to break Dong Zhuo's foundation! After the shock, Cao Cao bowed slightly in the direction of the Tiger Prison Pass: "Minister, Qingzhou Shepherd Cao Command, long live my emperor!" ”
"Lord, be careful,......" Xiahou Yuan persuaded Cao Cao with concern.
Cao Cao waved his hand to stop Xiahou Yuan's words, and ordered: "Evil come to lead the pro-army team, follow me into the Tiger Prison Pass to meet the Son of Heaven, Miaocai, Yuan Rang, you lead the army to wait outside the Tiger Prison Pass." ”
"Cao Gong, please look up." Zhang Liao saw from afar that Liu Xie, the son of heaven, was looking over the city tower, so he reminded Cao Cao with a smile.
Cao Cao looked up and saw that the banners of the Dong army that had been erected at the head of the city were gone, and the defenders were much less, and Liu Xie, the son of heaven, was looking in this direction accompanied by Wu nobles.
Cao Cao waved his hand to signal Dian Wei to follow, accelerated across the moat, and as soon as he entered the tiger prison, Xie Xun personally led him up to the city tower. Cao Cao watched left and right, except for the people around the Son of Heaven, he did not find Li Dao and others, so he put his heart down, walked a few steps quickly to Liu Xie, and gave a deep salute: "See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”
Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao and Dian Wei behind him, smiled slightly, pointed to the prepared wine banquet with his hand, and said, "No courtesy, I have already ordered someone to prepare the wine banquet, I will wait and chat while eating." ”
After everyone was seated, Liu Xie picked up the wine and drank with everyone, then motioned to Dian Wei, Gao Shun and others to be casual, turned his head to look at Cao Cao, and asked, "Meng De, what is the situation of this allied army now?" ”
"Alas, the courtiers are ashamed of their trust in Your Majesty, and now the Allies exist in name only. Some time ago, the ministers' attack on the Tiger Prison Pass was blocked, and they were worried that Dong Zhuo and Xu Rong would attack us from behind, so they had already secretly retreated. According to the news obtained by the minister, Dong Zhuo has set fire to the sour jujube camp and is rushing to this place, and it is estimated that he will arrive in a few days. And Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao is said to have the eyebrows of Jizhou Ding, and at this time he has broken away from the allies and is rushing back to Jizhou. Cao Cao informed the Son of Heaven Liu Xie of the news he had learned.
Liu Xie frowned, and suddenly felt disappointed, it seemed that this ally could not be counted on, and asked unrelentingly: "How many steps does Meng De have at this time?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has a total of 40,000 foot cavalry stationed in the allied camp at this time, and the accompanying troops include Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and Dian Wei, Xiahou Yuan and Dian Wei have spiritual soldiers, and the minister holds the Heavenly Sword given by His Majesty." Cao Cao said as he took down the Heavenly Sword and prepared to return it to the Son of Heaven.
"Heavenly Sword, you just stay by your side." Liu Xie waved his hand slightly, then stood up, came to the edge of the city wall, and looked outside the Tiger Prison Pass, "Does Meng De have a good plan to get rid of Dong Zhuo?" ”
"Your Majesty, you should know the power of Dong Zhuo's three hundred bronze soldiers, not to mention that Dong Zhuo still has five thousand elite horsemen led by Xu Rong by his side. If the minister's 40,000 cavalry wants to defeat Dong Zhuo at this time, unless Dong Zhuo is trapped in a place of death, it will ......" Cao Cao came to Liu Xie's side and replied with a wry smile.
"Deadland? Where did you come from here......" Liu Xie suddenly paused, looked down at the moat outside the city, and then walked quickly to the inside of the city wall, looked at the pass, and asked with some excitement: "Meng De, how do you look at the Tiger Prison Pass?" ”
"Tiger Prison? Your Majesty is trying to ......" Cao Cao was also quickly calculating in his mind at this time.
"Yes, don't you think this tiger prison is a place of death?" Liu Xie excitedly pointed to the pass, "As long as we block the city gates on both sides, then this is a place to die, as long as it is operated properly, maybe it may kill Dong Zhuo." ”
"Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers for being stupid, and please tell the ministers how to behave?" Cao Cao saw that the Son of Heaven had a belly case, so he gave up his hand to ask for advice.
Liu Xie pointed to the inside and outside of the Tiger Prison Pass, told him about his plans one by one, and finally asked with great anticipation: "Meng De, do you think it is feasible?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this plan is feasible, and the minister will return to the camp to prepare." Cao Cao said excitedly.
Liu Xie saw that Cao Cao also approved of this plan, so he smiled and said, "Let your people transport the grain in the pass first, and then act according to the plan." ”
"No!" Cao Cao was already moved when he saw the countless granaries in the pass, and he was overjoyed when he heard Liu Xie's words at this time.
After Liu Xie and Cao Cao discussed properly, the people on both sides immediately cooperated with each other and made adequate preparations.
"My lord, there is a brigade of allies in front." Xu Rong pointed to the endless team in front of him.
Dong Zhuo looked at the bronze soldiers behind him who were still in good condition, his eyes froze, and he said coldly: "I led the bronze soldiers in front, and you led the army to follow behind me, we rushed all the way over, how many can we kill." ”
"No!" When Xu Rong heard this, he immediately became energetic and began to give orders to prepare for battle.
"Kill!" With Dong Zhuo's order, three hundred bronze soldiers and Xu Rong's five thousand elite horsemen slaughtered the defenseless and demoralized allied army like wolves.
"Ah, it's Dong Zhuo's men, quickly form a formation and prepare for defense." Guangling Taishou Zhang Shou roared hoarsely, but unfortunately the morale of the allied troops was low when they retreated from the Tiger Pass, and when the alliance leader Yuan Shao led the army to withdraw halfway, the morale of the allied troops fell to a low point.
At this time, when he saw the bronze soldiers shining with cyan metallic luster, he was immediately frightened......
