Tiger Prison Pass, belonging to Chenggao County, is known as Tiger Prison because it is rumored that King Zhou Mu once kept the fierce tiger in captivity here.

This pass is connected with Songyue in the south, the Yellow River in the north, and the mountains are staggered, which is a natural danger. There is a husband when the pass, and there is a trend of ten thousand people not opening.

And in this pass, the guards Cao Xing and Cheng Lian didn't think about how to resist the enemy, but commanded the remaining 30,000 iron cavalry to prepare to escape.

Therefore, the 30,000 soldiers were ordered to shout loudly to frighten the princes outside the pass; On the one hand, he led the horse out of the customs in an orderly manner, and then rode the horse to the west.

The princes outside the pass, the soldiers have been for a while, and when they heard the cheers coming from the pass, they thought that the Xiliang reinforcements were coming.

The faces of all the princes showed an extremely ugly color, yesterday Cao Mengde said, the morale of the defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass plummeted, and today's four-color army waved outside the pass, which can scare the defenders to disarm and surrender.

But now it seems that the morale of the defenders in the pass today has risen instead of falling, and if this is the case, the battle for today's attack will have to be stopped.

After all, the Tiger Prison is dangerous, and it is by no means a waste of fame, hundreds of thousands of troops have been attacking for more than half a year, and even a single soldier is not allowed to enter. Today, there are only more than 100,000 coalition troops, and they are even more than capable of grabbing.

Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, sent a horse to Cao Mengde to discuss the withdrawal of troops.

At this time, Cao Cao beat the horses in front of the battle, listening to the call of the Guannai and the state army, and couldn't help but be suspicious.

Dong thieves have burned Luoyang and moved west to Chang'an, so the Tiger Prison Pass will have to be abandoned sooner or later, why do you want to increase troops here now, this is not suitable for the way of using troops.

There is a fraud!!

Cao Mengde woke up suddenly.

The guards in this pass also have some military talent, and they want to use cheers to temporarily bluff us and others, and then withdraw their troops smoothly.

If it is Yuan Benchu who meets him, he may be bluffed by you; It's a pity that you've met me Cao Mengde.

Thinking about it, the contempt on Cao Cao's face was even worse!

When Liu Dai's messenger came to tell him, Cao Mengde almost turned over and fell off his horse after listening to it.

This group of princes is really a generation of people, and they are just empty names.

As a last resort, Cao Cao summoned his own soldiers and gave instructions to tell the tricks of the defenders in the pass, so that the princes should not be suspicious, quickly attack the city, take the tiger prison pass, and eat this lonely army.

After Cao Cao's personal soldiers received the order, they were divided into three groups and went to the princes of each town.

After calculating the time, Cao Mengde didn't wait for the rest of the coalition army, and with a whip in his hand, the two Xiahou brothers took the front army to kill the Tiger Prison.

After the other tricolor armies saw Cao Jun's big move, they were not far behind, and they all beat their horses and marched forward, roaring towards the front of the pass.

For a while, it was really a gallop of thousands of horses, and the Xiahou brothers went outside the city wall first, then set up a ladder and took the lead in killing the soldiers on the city wall.

When they arrived at the city wall, they found that most of the Bingzhou troops were fleeing for their lives, and only the unlucky ghosts were left on the city wall.

Meng De looked at the coalition forces that were entering the pass, and shouted proudly: "The tiger prison is in danger in the world, and today I Cao Mengde will break it." ”

After speaking, he laughed and rode into the customs.

Cao Hong and Cao Ren led the Chinese army to follow the main general Cao Cao, while Li Dian and Le Jin led the rear army, pressing grain, grass and ordnance to follow.

At the end of the hour, tens of thousands of allied troops had gathered on the south bank of Luoshui, preparing to cross Luoshui to the north and take Luoyang City.

On the south bank of Luoshui, Cao Cao and the rest of the princes of the Six Roads gathered.

Cao Cao said: "Gentlemen, after half a year, we and the righteous army have finally broken through the tiger prison, which can be described as a great joy." ”

Cao Mengde's words exploded the hearts of the princes. I saw that the princes were happy, praising each other, saying hello to each other, and they had the appearance of having established meritorious deeds for eternity.

Cao Cao pointed to Luoshui with a sneer in his heart: "This is Luoshui, after crossing to the north, Luoyang City is thirty miles away, and it is advisable to have a horse." We and the rebels, since the beginning of the year, have a great victory, and if we take the capital, we can build immortal achievements. ”

This sentence hit the hearts of the princes, and they captured Luoyang City for the first time, which was the first achievement of the coalition army!

Cao Mengde looked at the princes who had entered his urn, and he was contemptful, they were really a group of faint people, who only wanted to be famous, but they didn't know what to do.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are people in Luoyang City who want to go, and the rout soldiers have to chase after them. Cao is not talented, and he is willing to lead the light cavalry to chase and kill. However, your cavalry needs to borrow my Cao. Cao Cao raised his hand and pointed to the cavalry who had already entered the pass, and at the same time looked loyal.

"Huh! I want to borrow a soldier ······" Many princes smiled coldly in their hearts.

The princes can stand on one side, of course, they are not fools, Cao Mengde wants to chase along the south bank of Luoshui, light horses, I am afraid that it is not to pursue the rout just now, but to make a detour to chase and kill Dong Thief.

The princes who were like mirrors in their hearts pushed again and again, but Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao, and he was friendly with Cao Cao, so he handed over more than 2,000 horsemen and 20,000 infantry troops under his command to Cao Cao.

Looking at Cao Cao again, in the face of the princes' shirk, his face was pale, he held back his anger, and led his own 3,000 cavalry, plus Zhang Miao's more than 2,000 cavalry, to join forces in one place, and only then did he have to ride 5,000 lightly.

With this cavalry, they will definitely not be able to bite a piece of fat.

Cao Cao, who was furious in his heart, had no choice but to march forward with the infantry, summoning the Xiahou brothers and Cao Hong and Cao Ren, and the five brothers led 5,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry, not crossing Luoshui, and chasing along the south bank.

The remaining 2,000 miscellaneous soldiers of the Cao army were under the control of Li Dian and Le Jin, and followed the army to Luoyang.

The army did not travel more than twenty miles, and then I saw the people and horses on the north shore surging, looking at the flag, but it was Sun Jian's army.

Cao Cao stepped forward and looked at Sun Jian across the river: "Brother Wentai, I don't think that you will enter this Luoyang City first, and let me wait for the army of sour dates to be ashamed." ”

"Brother Mengde, it's serious, but why didn't Brother Tai cross Luoshui north and enter Luoyang City. Instead, go west along the river, but what is it? Sun Jian wondered.

Just waiting for your words, I thought there would be no reinforcements, but I didn't expect you Sun Jian to send it to the door, Cao Mengde laughed in his heart.

I saw Cao Mengde's face showing sadness: "I entered the customs and saw the prosperous Luoyang in the past, but now it is burned down." It's true: the white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. Cao was not angry with Dong Thief's actions, so he led more than 10,000 light cavalry and 40,000 infantry to chase and kill the thief. Since we met Brother Wen Tai today, why don't we go together to chase and kill Dong Thief and save the holy driver. ”

Sun Jian raised his eyes to the south and saw that on the south bank of Luoshui, the army was extended, with 40,000 or 50,000 horses, and the cavalry seemed to have as many as 10,000 horsemen.

He also wants to hunt down and kill Dong Thief, but this is the first credit to enter Luoyang, and he must be won. Sun Jian made up his mind fiercely: "Brother Meng De, I'm very sorry, my Jiangdong disciples have been fighting all night, and they are now exhausted. In the matter of chasing and killing, I am afraid that I am powerless. ”

After Cao Cao heard this, he shouted pity: "This is not to blame Brother Wentai, but can you borrow Sun Jun's cavalry for a certain purpose." ”

Cao Mengde greeted him for a long time, just to say this sentence.

I have long known that you, Sun Wentai, are unwilling to hunt down and kill Dong Thief, and you regard the ruins of Luoyang as a treasure, but I, Cao Mengde, want to rescue the Son of Heaven and truly establish a great achievement.

As long as you rescue today, you can at least be named a state assassin at that time, then from then on, there will be a place to build a real career.

Cao Mengde had a slight disdain in his heart, but his eyes were full of earnestness.

Sun Jian looked at the tens of thousands of troops led by Cao Cao, of which there were as many as 10,000 cavalry.

That's it! Since you have ten thousand horsemen, why not lend you three thousand?

Sun Jian struggled for a while, and his heart was settled: "Okay, it's rare that Meng De has such a great ambition, and there are three thousand fine horses, so he will hand it over to his brother." I hope that Meng De will use his troops well, capture and kill Dong thief, save the Son of Heaven, and make immortal achievements. ”

"Haha, borrow Brother Tai's auspicious words, thank Brother Tai for his help, and then there will be a share of Brother Tai's great achievements." Cao Cao succeeded in the fraud, patted his thighs, arched his hands, and thanked him with joy.

Then the two said goodbye to each other, and Xiahou Chun was ordered to go and lead the Jiangdong cavalry.
