Chapter Eighty-Six: Those Who Know Me, Childe Too

Three days later, the city was completely taken over by Wu Ye, and after the situation stabilized, the doormen suggested that they immediately march to the Tiger Prison Pass or Yanjin, this time there was no accident and there were disagreements, the Tiger Prison Pass as the gateway to the east of the Zhou Room, has always been an important pass to guard Luoyi, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now it is still under the control of Zheng Zhuanggong, and Xinzheng has formed a flank attack on Zheng Cheng, rational analysis is not suitable to choose to attack Tiger Prison Pass at this time, after all, Wu Ye only has five hundred soldiers, In addition, the 1,200 defenders of the common city who had just been recruited were only 1,700 people, and the loyalty of these defenders of the common city was completely questionable, and it was very likely that they would turn against each other on the battlefield, so everyone was not inclined to declare war on the Tiger Prison Pass at this time.

Yanjin is close to Wei and Song, and the county commander who defends the city is Zheng Mo, who is nearly fifty years old, and has assisted Zheng Guo for two generations of monarchs, and can be called a meritorious minister, Wei and Song have been eyeing Yanjin, but because Zheng Mo is old and serious, and is familiar with the art of war, he uses the advantage of the high walls of Yanjin City to repel the attacks of Wei and Song many times, and it seems that it is not wise to choose Yanjin as an opponent.

Wu Ye is now in a dilemma, everyone seems to be only responsible for making ideas, and the final decision still depends on Wu Ye, no matter what the outcome is, the responsibility is naturally borne by Wu Ye. Wu Ye pondered for a long time, and finally decided to march towards the Tiger Prison Pass, and the doorman who opposed this suggestion immediately asked Wu Ye to give his reasons.

Wu Ye said unhurriedly: "Yanjin seems to be under the harassment of Wei and Song, but in fact, the city defense is still very stable, Zheng Mo has a high prestige in the eyes of the people of Yanjin, and is supported by the people, to attack such a city, that is, there is no geographical advantage, and there is no people, the loss will be heavy, and even if Yanjin can be taken, the armies of Wei and Song will soon surround it, and then we will be tired of dealing with them, and we will not be able to draw troops to plot other cities of Zheng State." In addition, the Jin Kingdom in the north is also the same as the Zhou royal family, tired of dealing with the invasion of the Qin State, and it is impossible to send troops to the Tiger Prison, so it seems that the Tiger Prison Pass is the best choice, once the Tiger Prison is captured, we have a real fortress. ”

After listening to Wu Ye's analysis, the guests once again admired Wu Ye's strategic vision, so they dispersed to prepare for the next fierce battle, the Tiger Prison Pass was known as the first Xiongguan of the Zhou Dynasty, whether it was the garrison or the weaponry, it was enough to fight with the top armies of all countries, not to mention that by taking advantage of the natural danger of the Tiger Prison Pass, it was simply an unbreakable copper city iron wall.

Wu Ye returned to his room, Tian Xi waited quietly at the moment, the table at hand was full of information on the Tiger Prison Pass that he had sorted out, Wu Ye started to read it from the top, for the information, Wu Ye has always been complicated and not simplified, and he didn't want to miss every detail, Tian Xi said: "Childe, the Tiger Prison Pass is not in vain, we just got the common city by luck, but the tiger prison is not a common city, there is a world of difference between the two, please be cautious when making decisions." ”

Wu Ye put down the fifth piece of information, rubbed his temples with annoyance, and said: "There are 20,000 elite soldiers, 40,000 arrows, and 1,000 war horses in the Tiger Prison Pass. ”

Tian Xi said: "Does Gongzi want to repeat the scene of the common city, capture the thief and capture the king first?" ”

Wu Ye said: "Tiger Prison Pass is a military pass, it is full of garrisons, there are almost no civilians, the main general Ji Xi is a famous general, and his subordinates are also capable, even if the king is really captured, the military spirit will not be slackened, it is very likely that a new king will appear, and we will only be in a dilemma at that time." The tiger prison is closed, alas" Wu Ye let out another sigh of emotion.

Tian Xi picked up a piece of information casually, pointed to the names of the generals of the Tiger Prison Pass above, and said: "Son, look, the Lord of the Tiger Prison Pass will be Ji Xi, and all the generals will be surnamed Zheng." ”

Wu Ye said thoughtfully: "Sir is saying that the Tiger Prison Pass is not as intimate as it seems?" ”

Tian Xi opened all the information and said: "According to the report of the spy, the Ji Xi family is a branch of the Zhou family, and I am a staunch Baozhou faction, and I have long been dissatisfied with Zheng Zhuanggong's rudeness, but it is limited to his identity as the general of the Tiger Prison Pass and it is not convenient to openly oppose it, and Zheng Zhuanggong actually knows Ji Xi's attitude, and has always wanted to drive Ji Xi down from the position of the Tiger Prison Pass, but Ji Xi is deeply supported by the soldiers, Zheng Zhuanggong did not dare to come hard, he has successively replaced many partial generals of the Tiger Prison Pass, the purpose is to weaken Ji Xi's influence in the army little by little, Wait for the opportunity. Now that Gongzi Ji is in rebellion, Zheng Zhuanggong needs Ji Xi to echo him in the Tiger Prison Pass, so he naturally doesn't dare to act rashly. ”

Wu Ye said: "Ji Xi is under siege at the moment, and there is a group of generals who may oppose him at any time, if we can win Ji Xi, wouldn't we be able to dismantle the defense force of Tiger Prison Pass from within." ”

Tian Xi nodded and said, "The main problem now is how to get in touch with Ji Xi. ”

Wu Ye immediately thought of Bao Yakan Shen Yan Ying, who had made great contributions to winning Gongcheng Yan Ying this time, but afterwards Yan Ying did not express the slightest smugness, but instead seemed to have just done a small thing, as if he was not enough to worry about.

However, Wu Ye quickly denied it, the Tiger Prison is not a common city, according to the intelligence description, there are ten high-grade masters alone, and there are forty-seven middle-grade masters, as for the "human" level masters, it is impossible to find out, in order to find out the details of the strong people in the Tiger Prison, he also lost a spy, and going to the Tiger Prison to negotiate is like entering the tiger's den and seeking the skin of the tiger, Wu Ye does not want Yan Ying to take this risk again.

But just as Wu Ye broke off this thought, there was a cheerful knock on the door, Yan Ying walked in briskly, opened his mouth and said, "Childe, I'm thinking about it again." ”

With Wu Ye making the right decision last time, his prestige among the disciples has been greatly improved, Yan Ying and Wu Ye were still called brothers in the past, but now they have quietly changed to Gongzi, and they feel very natural and smooth.

Wu Ye said: "I won't agree this time, the Tiger Prison Pass is too dangerous, I'm afraid that you will not return." ”

Yan Ying touched his beard wistfully and said: "Childe doesn't believe in Yan's eloquence, and he also underestimated Yan's courage, his heart is so broken, it's better to leave." After saying that, he turned around and slowly left sadly.

Wu Ye raised his right hand, released his fingers one by one with Yan Ying's footsteps, and counted: "One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, five steps." As soon as the fifth finger was released, Yan Ying turned around happily and said, "Is Childe keeping me, I know that the person who knows me is also Childe." ”
