Liu Zhi did not directly explain why Gongsun Zhan's suggestion was not feasible, but ordered the soldiers to take Li Ru down, and if he was here, many things would be difficult to say. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the soldiers took Li Ru away, he said to everyone: "Dong Zhuo sent Li Ru here, the purpose is obvious, it is to divide the coalition army and cause a split within the coalition army, and if we arrest Li Ru and hand it over to Yuan Shao, I am afraid that it will help him achieve this goal." ”

Gongsun Chan was puzzled and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Liu Zhi replied: "Because Yuan Shao didn't really want to crusade against Dong Zhuo, he came to the alliance this time, one is to improve his prestige, his Yuan family is the fourth and third dukes, just with this name, he can overwhelm a lot of competitors in the alliance, so if Yuan Shao comes to the alliance, it is almost a sure thing for him to be the leader of the alliance, and you think about it, since the beginning of the alliance, Yuan Shao can be active in the crusade against Dong Zhuo?" ”

Everyone listened to his words, and thought in their hearts, it seems that this is indeed the case, Yuan Shao has been looking for excuses to procrastinate, unwilling to actively march, before the Jiangdong Army as the vanguard army won successive battles, the morale of the whole army was high, and the reinforcements of the Xiliang Army had not yet arrived, it was a good time to use troops, but Yuan Shao hesitated and did not send troops, which led to the defeat of Sun Jian's army, and the combat opportunity was also lost.

"Another reason why Yuan Shao came to the alliance is to protect himself!" Seeing that everyone was pondering, Liu Zhi continued.

"It is precisely because Yuan Shao's name is too loud and his appeal in the world is too strong, so for Dong Zhuo, he is also the biggest threat, so Dong Zhuo will definitely do everything possible to get rid of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao is in Hebei, although there are many generals, but it is difficult to resist Dong Zhuo's more than 200,000 Xiliang army, in terms of strength, he is not as good as Dong Zhuo, so, if you are Dong Zhuo, what will you do?"

"Participate in the alliance, use the strength of the coalition to protect yourself, and return the pressure to Dong Zhuo!"

Cao Cao had the fastest idea and quickly said the answer.

Liu Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, Yuan Shao is probably the purpose of existence, and Yuan Shao can also use his identity as the leader of the alliance to take the opportunity to eradicate dissidents, which is already experienced by General Gongsun." ”

Gongsun Chan snorted lightly and didn't answer, but obviously admitted this fact.

Liu Zhi saw that everyone had already communicated, so he said: "In this way, if we hand over Li Ru to Yuan Shao, we are afraid that we will get into trouble and give Yuan Shao a handle to deal with us, so Li Ru cannot be handed over to Yuan Shao." ”

Sun Jian thought for a while and said, "Then according to Mr. Li's opinion, how to deal with this Li Ru?" ”

Liu Zhi was confident and said to everyone: "Zishan is not talented, but there is a plan in his heart, we just need to be so ······"

After the coalition army came to the Tiger Prison Pass, Dong Zhuo led the army to reinforce the Tiger Prison Pass, and the news spread among the coalition forces, and the alliance leader Yuan Shao, in order to take the Tiger Prison Pass before Dong Zhuo's main army arrived, sent Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi County, and Zhang Miao, the Taishou of Chen Liu, with their own troops to take the lead, preparing to carry out a tentative attack on the Tiger Prison Pass.

The army of these three people added up to a total of more than 60,000 people, due to the restrictions of the terrain, it is impossible to place so many people in one attack, so the three of them each selected a group of elite soldiers from their own army to form the first phalanx, they will carry out the first wave of attacks, and there are three phalanxes in turn, each phalanx of 15,000 people, a total of 60,000 people, under the tiger prison pass to form a huge phalanx, from the air looks like a huge black carpet.

The city wall of the Tiger Prison Pass is more than five zhang high, the city wall is not only tall, but also thick, the defenders have prepared a lot of rolling wood and stones and a large number of feather arrows on it, only wait until the attacking army arrives at the city wall and start throwing it frantically, the first wave of the allied army is Wang Kuang's Hanoi army, the Hanoi army has not yet climbed the city wall, it is under the attack of the defenders' rolling wood and hot grease, the attack is less than half an hour, it was defeated, the casualties of the soldiers are close to half, Yuan Shao watched the battle in front of the battle, Seeing this scene, his face was cloudy, obviously dissatisfied with this attack.

Soon, after all the Hanoi troops were withdrawn, Liu Dai's Yanzhou army also rushed up, and the number remained unchanged, but in order to resist the rolling wood and bows and arrows that had hit the Hanoi army before, the Yanzhou army specially prepared a lot of huge shields, so that these soldiers could block the front, and then slowly advance step by step.

Li Su, the commander of the defenders, saw that the Yanzhou army had been prepared, and did not let the soldiers of the city wall release the rolling wood and stones to attack as early as before, but waited until the Yanzhou army approached before launching an attack.

Although the defense of the Yanzhou army has been strengthened, the giant shield is too heavy for the soldiers to carry it to climb up, so when they climb towards the city wall is when they are most vulnerable.

The Yanzhou army not only prepared hundreds of ladders and siege ladders, but also prepared a huge crashing cone, the soldiers shouted in their mouths, step by step to push this huge guy slowly forward, and the Xiliang army on the head of the city naturally knew how big the threat of this kind of thing was to their city, so they didn't make reservations at all, huge stones and a rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun shrouded the entire siege cone, and the soldiers who pushed the siege cone forward suffered heavy casualties, screams came and went, and the siege cone traveled all the way, A line of corpses and a large amount of blood were left on the ground.

"Fire oil, aim for me at the battering cone below, and when they get closer, give me a hard salute!"

Li Su's face was covered with blood, but this was not his own blood, but the blood of the soldiers of the Yanzhou army, because the previous attack was not enough, and the Yanzhou army was prepared, the number of siege ladders they prepared was twice as much as that of the previous Hanoi army, which made the firepower of the defenders on the city wall dispersed, and the Yanzhou army was protected by a giant shield before, so their formation was maintained relatively well, at this time the soldiers climbed to the city wall, although there were still many soldiers shot down, However, a small number of soldiers managed to climb the city walls, which had not been done by the Hanoi army before.

"Okay, we just want to attack like this, send an order to Zhang Miao, let his Chen Liujun be ready, ready to attack at any time, as long as we break through the gate of the Tiger Prison Pass, nothing will be able to stop us from advancing!"

Yuan Shao began to mobilize his troops, preparing to wait until the Tiger Prison Pass was breached, and he also sent orders to the princes, asking them to prepare their troops.

Sun Jian looked at the battlefield in front of him shouting to kill the heavens, his brows were tightly locked, and he muttered: "It's strange, why do you feel that the number of Xiliang troops in the Tiger Prison is so small?" Where are there 50,000 people, I don't think there are even 20,000! ”

Sun Ce, who was on the side, heard his father's words, so he said: "Maybe it's because there are not so many people standing on the city wall, so the Xiliang army may be waiting in the pass, ready to reinforce at any time, Mr. Liu, what do you see?" ”

After speaking, he set his eyes on Liu Zhi, Liu Zhi smiled slightly, shook his fan and said: "Defeat before winning, I can't imagine that there is such a No. 1 person in the Xiliang Army, Yanzhou Army is only afraid that it will be over, general, we are relatively close to the battlefield, order the soldiers to prepare for battle, I have a hunch, the enemy army will probably go out of the customs and take the initiative to fight!" ”

Sun Jian was shocked: "What? This can't be, they are only 60,000 people, but we have an army of more than 500,000 people, how dare they do this unless they are crazy? ”
