Chapter 174: Revisiting the Tiger Prison
In front of the Tiger Prison Pass, the Great Tent of the Kwantung Coalition Army.
In the past month, except for a fight at the beginning, there has never been a large group of people in the Tiger Prison Pass.
The Kwantung coalition called several times in a row, but no one responded.
The battle to break through the level has not made the slightest progress.
Liu Yu was the most anxious, so he had to call everyone to discuss the matter.
"In such an act, I'm afraid that Liu Yan is going to sit in Luoyang leisurely, waiting for me to scatter and run!" Liu Yu said dissatisfiedly at the beginning. even glared at Lu Bu, who was recuperating with his eyes closed.
"The expeditions of the allied forces are mostly light, and the grain and grass are all supported by Yuzhou, and it is really not conducive to a long-term war if the grain and grass are not enough." Cao Cao echoed and said, and his tone was quite dissatisfied.
In this month, Cao Cao tackled three key problems, each time he lost his troops and lost his generals, and now he was already angry with everyone who had done nothing, and everyone was gloomy and silent when they heard it.
"Gongxu, how much grain and grass is left in the army for a few days to eat?" Liu Yu asked helplessly to Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kongling.
This Kong Ling, as the assassin of Yuzhou, is naturally the grain and grass of the governor's coalition army.
"I'm afraid that the surplus food in the army is less than a month, and if you remove the needs of the various units when they return, it will be difficult to hold on for half a month!" Kong Ling almost told the truth.
Kong Ling was troubled by Lu Bu before, and he had already lost his face, so he didn't dare to take risks again at this time.
Only enough for half a month of the coalition forces?
Is it so critical?
If Luoyang cannot be captured within half a month, then the food and grass will be insufficient, the army will be chaotic, the army will be chaotic, not to mention the capture of thieves, it is still difficult to protect themselves, if this is the case, hundreds of thousands of coalition troops who claim to be the country to eliminate thieves will become the laughing stock of the world.
But now there is a Tiger Prison Xiongguan in front of it, and the enemy army is not out of the retreat, even if it is an all-out attack within half a month, it is still unknown whether it can be defeated, but even if the Tiger Prison Pass is captured, and the strong city of Luoyang, if Liu Yan is still closed, the coalition forces will have to disperse.
The situation has reached a point where a decision must be made.
"It's better to storm the Tiger Prison! Although the loss is not small, it can protect the reputation of the coalition army, and if it is stagnant at this time, there is only one way to retreat. Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian's face turned red and he said.
Liu Yu frowned when he heard this, if he could really concentrate everyone to storm the Tiger Prison, no matter how big the loss was, it would not be a big deal. After all, the greater the losses of the own side, the heavier the enemy's losses, and the coalition forces have the advantage in numbers, so they will naturally fight over the attrition of personnel.
But if it is really attacked again, who wants to be the vanguard of everyone here?
Do you continue to let Sun Jian and Cao Cao come out? The two of them are not stupid, how can they be willing to work for these people all the time?
Even if you capture the Tiger Pass, what you lose is your own strength, and what you gain is the princes who keep their strength from all walks of life.
Sun Jian and Cao Cao thought so, but everyone sitting here had already thought this way a long time ago.
Liu Yu also understands that sending others to tackle key problems first, not to mention whether he is willing or not, even if he is willing, he will have a secret hatred in his heart, and this position of commander is really a position that offends people.
Looking around at the crowd, I saw that everyone bowed their heads and frowned, and no one came out to ask for battle.
"This time it is to follow the will of the Son of Heaven and crusade against Liu Yan's rebels, which is really to eliminate harm for the country. Today is just a small difficulty, so I hesitate to advance, for fear of losing the hope of the world. Sun Jian, who had been a pioneer and had stormed the Tiger Prison Pass with Cao Cao, was full of anger and disdain in his tone.
"Who, then, can be a pioneer?" Liu Yu saw that Sun Jian had already talked about this, so he had to speak.
More than a dozen princes in the hall look at me, I look at you, and none of them come out to receive orders.
"The Tiger Prison is not a day, it is better for the princes from all walks of life to attack in turn. Although there are few of us, we are finally a confidant of the Son of Heaven, and I have received the grace of His Majesty, and I am willing to be a pioneer and serve the Son of Heaven. How to arrange it next, I still leave it to the general to decide. Lu Bu, who was absent from several military meetings under the pretext of physical discomfort, was shocked and took on this difficult task as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Feng Xianshi is the top pillar of my Han Dynasty! Today, regardless of gains and losses, I wish to be a pioneer! My heart is so relieved! Liu Yu's eyes shrank, his face was full of bitterness, but he had to pretend to laugh and praise Lu Bu.
Let's say that Liu Yu was very optimistic about Lu Bu, and he almost put the hope of breaking through the Tiger Prison on him. After all, Lu Bu is under the banner of the Son of Heaven, and he has just fought a battle of 100,000 wins and 400,000 turnovers, and his morale is available.
However, Lu Bu arrived in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, starting from the beginning of the fighting general, until yesterday's coalition army had nothing to do, as if it had completely disappeared, and had not participated in any of the battles.
Speaking of Lu Bu's small number of people, Liu Yu was the first to laugh angrily in his heart, Lu Bu was flamboyant, and there were nearly 40,000 horses under his hands, which was the most present. And the soldiers are elite, most of them are veterans of a hundred battles.
The so-called Meng Tianzi's grace is even more hateful. Except for the first day when Lu Bu arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass, he appeared in front of everyone, and the rest of the time he hid in the camp, and there was no way out even for others to visit...... Lu Bu directly wrapped the Son of Heaven Imperial Dragon Flag shot down by Liu Zhen to the camp gate, and if anyone wanted to enter the camp, he had to destroy this dragon flag. This is really a great blessing from the Son of Heaven......
But no matter what Lu Bu has done, no one will say anything about his current behavior of being a pioneer. If he talks too much and lets Lu Bu hide again, then those present will have to collectively denounce the people who speak nonsense. After all, being a pioneer means that casualties start first, and the casualties are the greatest! …… No one wants to suffer the heaviest losses.
As soon as Liu Yu finished praising it, the leaders of the other departments in the tent also nodded one after another, and their eyes changed when they looked at Lu Bu.
"Feng Xian is a strong general, it is better to be a pioneer, but you can first frustrate the spirit of the thief army. This first round of attacks will be handed over to Feng Xian, and the second round will be handed over to a certain family! Eliminating thieves for the country is not just empty words, but should be proved by deeds. What do you think? Although Cao Cao didn't know what Lu Bu was thinking in his heart, he firmly believed that Lu Bu's sudden change had an unknown reason, obviously Lu Bu would not do something that he was not sure of, so there would be no mistake in following closely behind! As soon as Liu Yu's words fell, Cao Cao's voice followed.
With Lu Bu and Cao Cao taking the lead, and other people from all walks of life also asked for their lives, Liu Yu was naturally overjoyed, and immediately allocated the order of tackling key problems before and after, as well as the time for each tackling, and even after a certain way was broken, other people's action plans had been figured out.
The discussion was completed, and they returned to the camp to prepare, and agreed that on the second day, Lu Bu would take the lead in tackling the problem
