Chenggao County Tiger Prison Pass, since ancient times the Tiger Prison is more dangerous, and the Xiongguan can be described as a prison tiger trapped by a dragon.

Regarding the difficulty of capturing the Tiger Prison, the princes who participated in the first alliance of Dong princes last time, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Han Fu and Yuan Shu, must have a profound experience.

And Lu Bu, as the defender at that time, was also a general under Dong Zhuo, so he undoubtedly had to know better the weaknesses of the Tiger Pass.

Indeed, the Tiger Prison Pass is located at the narrowest exit of the valley in terms of topography, and it can be said that it is a pass that cannot be opened, and in terms of hardware facilities, it is more than several times better than the big city pass in Shuofang County, not to mention that the defenders in the city are not as inexperienced as the Huns; But there has never been a fortress in the world that zài can never be breached, it just depends on whether there is a way to find it.

is like dealing with the tiger prison at this time, in Lu Bu's opinion, the best way is to take the initiative to lure the enemy out.

Just like dealing with a tortoise, if you want to hit it, you must let it expose its head first, because he is wrapped in a turtle shell, and only by knocking its head or pulling its tail can it make it hurt, but the name of the turtle with a shrunken head is not called in vain, if you can't use means to lure it to expose its head, when you want to hit it, it only needs to shrink its head into the turtle shell, and there is nothing it can do about it.

Now the Tiger Prison Pass is like a turtle shell, Dong Zhuojun is shrunk inside, if you want to deal with them, you have to break the shell, but the shell is so easy to break, if you really want to attack the city directly, I am afraid that you will have to pay a very painful price, but you may not be able to achieve the goal.

As for using trebuchets to attack the entire rock face on both sides of the cliff wall on both sides of the Tiger Prison Pass like the last time, it really depends on luck. After all, ordinary rocks are not so fragile, even after many repeated blows, that time should be said to be more of a reason of luck, this time no one can say whether it will work, even if it does, they don't know how long it will take, and they obviously don't have so much time and patience to spend here.

But in the Tiger Prison garrison, Lu Bu has a certain understanding, he knows that Dong Yue, the current defender commander here, was originally just a junior general in the Xiliang Army, and this time he will be pushed out to guard the Tiger Prison, and no one can say what Li Ru's calculations are. But it undoubtedly created a convenience for the princes' coalition army.

Dong Yue is not well known in the Xiliang Army. The princes also despised this kind of nobody, but Wang Hong knew that this person could not be despised because he did have some ability, otherwise even if Li Ru thought of other ideas, he would not have found someone to take on such an important responsibility as the guardian of the tiger prison; However, one of his biggest weaknesses should also be the biggest weakness of the Tiger Prison at this time. That is, I don't have much experience in leading the army alone.

Experience this kind of thing. In particular, the experience of marching combat is useful at critical moments. is like Zhao Kuo of Zhao during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, who is known as a master of military strategy, familiar with military books and has a family history. However, in the end, it was only a paper talk, and although it was only rote memorization of those things because of the fact that it was not able to make full use of the military book, there was not much experience in the actual use of soldiers, which should also be an undeniable point.

The same is true for Dong Yue today, he may not be as knowledgeable as Zhao Kuo, but his ability is not bad, but he has never had the opportunity to express himself, and he has not gone through any formal experience, so rashly letting him catch ducks on the shelves such an important task will inevitably cause him a lot of psychological pressure, which can easily cause two extremes, one is to stick to the city and die, not to seek merit but to seek no fault; The other is that they are eager to make meritorious contributions, and inexperienced people are frivolous and careless, and it is easy to make this one mistake.

As Li Ru understood, although the alliance of princes came all the way during the march, there was nothing else that could really hinder them except for the previous Xingyang City, and they didn't pay attention to this tiger prison.

However, contempt is just an attitude, and when it is actually a battle, it will still be serious, so under Lu Bu's construction, the princes' coalition army pretended to bypass the tiger prison and continue to Luoyang Blonde's posture, after all, there must be more than one way forward, but the detour is very troublesome, which gives the enemy more time to prepare; But in this way, the dangerous pass of the tiger prison has lost its role.

Dong Yue is young and inexperienced, just as Lu Bu thought, he was appointed by Li Ru at the beginning of such an important task, he himself was a bit of a gain and loss, and he was often contradictory in his heart, on the one hand, he wanted to make meritorious contributions, and he was worthy of Li Ru's reuse of himself; On the other hand, he was worried that a rash attack would hit the enemy's plan, so he never dared to act rashly, but now that the enemy army was leaving, he thought that this might be the enemy's trick, but he had to hit.

So Dong Yue led the army out of the pass to pursue, this time of course, never came back, when chasing to the ten miles outside the pass, it encountered the full encirclement and suppression of the alliance army of the princes, and finally the whole army was annihilated, Dong Yue was also shot by several branches of arrows.

It was also at this time that Dong Yue seemed to be able to recall that when Li Ru made himself the guard of the Tiger Prison, he thought that this was a sign to reuse himself, but now that he thinks about it, Li Ru's expression at that time was very strange, looking at himself as if he was full of pity, and what he said was even more strange: "If they give up attacking the Tiger Prison and want to bypass it, you must not let it go, and it is best for the whole army to attack to increase the certainty!" ”

Now that he thinks about it carefully, Dong Yue's head is becoming clearer and clearer, he seems to have seen through something, but unfortunately his eyes are becoming more and more sloppy, and it won't be long before he can no longer think about it, he still opened his eyes angrily, as if he wanted to accuse himself of unwillingness, but his breath was cut off, and the next moment the sound of "crackling and crackling" sounded, which was the crisp sound of thousands of horses galloping past and just a whole team of horses' hooves stepping on him and crushing his flesh and bones.

By the time these thousands of horsemen completely swept by, they could no longer see the original face of Dong Yue and his party in the same place.

At this time, no one cared whether they were dead or alive, and the Tiger Prison Pass, which had lost the garrison of Dong Yue's army, was quickly rushed to imitate Dong Yue's army, and the vanguard of the Princes' Alliance army was easily taken by Cao Cao's general.

As soon as the tiger prison was broken, it was difficult to block the way forward, and the alliance army of the princes launched a march that was overwhelming and unimpeded.

This section of the road is undoubtedly easy and pleasant, in this case, the atmosphere in the alliance is also good, everyone seems to be thinking about what will happen after the breakthrough of Luoyang, on the surface, everyone compliments each other for your meritorious service, I ask for reward, but in the bottom of their hearts they are thinking about what wishful thinking, no one knows, but everyone knows each other's ghosts.

It's just surprising that when the army reached Gongxian, the resistance it faced was extremely fierce, and the person stationed here at this time happened to be Xu Rong, who had voluntarily retreated from Yanzhou.

After he withdrew, he neither chose Xingyang nor Chenggao, but directly retreated to his hometown, where he laid a tight defense, and put on a posture of fighting to the death, which startled the princely alliance army who was easy and unhindered all the way.

However, in the end, Gongxian is not a big city, a strong city, there is not much terrain or other hard city defenses that can be relied on, only with Xu Rong leading the defenders with blood, can resist the princes' coalition for a while, but can not stay here for a long time, and finally saw that the enemy army was about to break through the city gate, Xu Rong decisively led the army to evacuate, and Gongxian fell......
