Chenggao County Chenggao County (formerly known as Chenggao, this book is set as Chenggao) belongs to Henan County, in 205 BC Han Gaozu placed, the county seat is located in the northwest of Hugao Pass, separated by a hundred miles of road, if a single horse and a half can be reached, but because of the late Han Dynasty gallop road is seriously damaged, the road is rugged, if the army drives, at least it will take a time.

Chenggao County is a small city, and there is a tiger prison pass in front of it as a barrier, so it is still in the hands of the Han army, and there are nominally five hundred county soldiers in the city, but unfortunately, the soldiers defected seriously, and now there are less than two hundred people left, plus the displaced people who have fled everywhere, the situation is very bad, as for the county of Chenggao County, he has long not known where to flee.

The 300,000 army sailed from Pinggao across the Yellow River to Chenggao on the south bank, there were no twists and turns in the middle, it was very smooth, and this time of staying on the north bank, Huang Zhong also completed the task assigned by Liu Tai, that is, to completely occupy Hanoi County on the north bank of the Yellow River, cut Hanoi County and Sili with the Yellow River as the dividing line, send heavy troops along the Yellow River to guard, refuse all Han troops to enter Hanoi County, and left 10,000 foot soldiers to garrison Huai County to protect everything.

Hanoi County is the forefront of the northern Xinjiang forces bordering Luoyang, and Liu Tai's new title was also passed to Huang Zhong for the first time, but Huang Zhong didn't think so about this edict at all, because Huang Zhong also saw that this was just a delicious trap, of course, Huang Zhong didn't dare not pass the edict to Liu Tai, after all, Huang Zhong was still just a minister, and it was Liu Tai's matter to accept or not to accept the title.

"Hansheng, this is a military report from the Tiger Prison Pass." Tian Feng looked a little tired, hurriedly entered the military tent, and said to Huang Zhong, who was sitting on the top to deal with the military situation.

"Tiger Prison?" Huang Zhong frowned, didn't dare to hold it up, got up and took the military report sent by Tian Feng, read it carefully and said, "Master Tian, what does Your Highness mean?" Is the Tiger Prison to be saved or not? ”

Huang Zhong's first task is to protect Luoyang, although the Tiger Prison Pass is important, how can it be compared to Luoyang? However, Huang Zhong also understood that if the Tiger Prison was lost, then Luoyang would be difficult to defend, so he asked tentatively.

"Your Highness doesn't seem to have commanded anything." Tian Feng shook his head and said with a somewhat puzzled expression. It should be said that the Tiger Prison Pass is so heavy, Liu Tai will definitely not fall, but so the place has taken it into account, why don't you care about the Tiger Prison Pass? What is the purpose?

It's very simple, Liu Tai wants to borrow a knife to kill people! Kill whom? Cao Ying! For a long time, Liu Tai was reluctant to kill Cao Ying, because Liu Tai loved and hated Cao Ying, and he couldn't do it at all, but if Cao Ying was killed by the Yellow Turban Army, Liu Tai would not be blamed, right? Of course, if Cao Ying's life is great, then Liu Tai can't say anything about it.

Because of the problem of public opinion, Liu Tai did not give a clear order on whether to rescue the Tiger Prison Pass, so the Tiger Prison Pass still has a turning point, and it only depends on how Huang Zhong chooses it.

"Outside, the military order is not subject to it!" The frustration who followed Tian Feng suddenly came out and said, Frustration is the same as Tian Feng, the surname is relatively straight, since he has seen the importance of the Tiger Prison Pass, there is no reason not to save it! "This" to tell the truth, after being a general in Northern Xinjiang for so many years, Huang Zhong really hasn't tried anything to be outside, and the military order has no special treatment, because Huang Zhong has always taken Liu Tai's military order first, without Liu Tai's military order, not a soldier and a pawn will not be mobilized, of course, except for the time when the coalition army invaded the north, after all, the military situation was urgent, there was no reason to wait for Liu Tai's order, otherwise the daylily would be cold.

"Well, after all, they are all friendly forces, and if you ignore their life and death, you can't justify it, but in the opinion of the two military advisors, who is the most appropriate to send? Or will General Ben personally lead the army forward? Huang Zhong nodded, although he decided to send troops to the rescue, he still had to ask for advice on who would lead the army.

"The general is the commander of the three armies, and he can't be moved." Tian Feng shook his head, disagreeing with Huang Zhong personally leading the rescue, after all, the main task of this southward trip was to rescue Luoyang rather than Tiger Pass.

"Now in the northwest of Tiger Prison Pass, there is no trace of the Yellow Turban Army, the defenders are the strength of the foot soldiers, the Qinglin Army does not need to go, Han Sheng can send General Wei to lead 60,000 elite foot soldiers to set off for Tiger Prison Pass overnight." Tian Feng glanced at Guan Yu and Wei Jie, who were standing not far away, and said with his eyes on Wei Jie.

Wei Jie is indeed quite capable, but he is the most likely person in Northern Xinjiang to be named a general since Ao Wu and Wang Yao, and now he is only a trace of military merit before he can ascend to the throne of general, so his military exploits are very important to Wei Jie now.

Don't think that the name of the general is a big road goods, in addition to a few generals named by Emperor Ling, most of the army commanders are actually still captains, if you want to be promoted to general, it is very difficult, and you have to accumulate a lot of credit, of course, most of the reason is because Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is still there, and the discipline of the Han Dynasty has not been completely abandoned, otherwise with Wei Jie's record, when the princes were fighting, he would have been named a general a long time ago, and even the marquis was not impossible.

"General, the last general is willing to go to the Tiger Prison Pass to resist the Yellow Turban Army." Wei Jie stepped forward and bowed to Huang Zhong and said.

Going to Tiger Prison Pass is not a good task, after all, the real military merit is still in Luoyang, if there is a rescue and meritorious service, even if Liu Tai does not seal Wei Jie as a general, Emperor Ling will also reward Wei Jie on behalf of him, of course, it is not without benefits to go to Tiger Prison Pass, that is, to get the favor of generals at all levels of the military department of Bingzhou, especially Huang Zhong and Guan Yu, because Wei Jie went to Tiger Prison Pass, which can make Huang Zhong and Guan Yu play a better role in the battle to rescue Luoyang, after all, although the hundreds of thousands of horses of Bocai are very watery, they can enter the division and are not vegetarians.

"Xingbang, there are more than a million Yellow Turban troops outside the Tiger Prison Pass, are you sure you can hold it?" It's not that Huang Zhong doesn't believe in Wei Jie's ability, but the situation of the Tiger Prison Pass is too dangerous now, especially the Jing County on the edge of the Tiger Pass, if the Jing County is lost, it means that the Tiger Prison Pass will be attacked from front to back, and 60,000 foot soldiers are guarding the Tiger Pass, Huang Zhong is not optimistic.

As the commander of the army, the priority is naturally the casualties of the army, if the number of casualties will be very large, Huang Zhong will naturally not agree, after all, an army is not pulled out to fight and finished, otherwise no matter how many young people in the north of Xinjiang can not afford to consume, Huang Zhong will not be able to bear this responsibility.

"If the Tiger Prison is lost, or if more than half of the army is killed or wounded, the lowly is willing to hang himself to apologize to the God King." Wei Jie looked very persistent, knelt on one knee, and shouted at Huang Zhong. In fact, Wei Jie was also a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, millions of people attacked the city, and the number made people feel invincible in their hearts, but for the sake of the overall situation, Wei Jie had to do this.

"Good, good, Xingbang deserves to be a good man in my Hedong." Guan Yu, who had not spoken and pretended to be deep, couldn't help but step forward and praise. The military order is the most important kind of guarantee in the army, and anyone who makes a military order cannot complete the task, and no one can guarantee it unless Liu Tai is gracious.

For so many years since the establishment of the Northern Xinjiang regime, although there has always been a military order, no one has ever issued a military order, because even if the five ethnic groups are allied forces, the situation in front of them is not as sinister.

There are only more than 700,000 soldiers and horses in the north and south, but the number of the Yellow Turban Army is boundless, and the title of "ant thief" is very appropriate, because the Yellow Turban Army never plays cards according to the regular method, and recruits soldiers are in the form of force, and the Yellow Turban Army in all states in the world can almost become a bandit army and a robber army except for Zhang Jiao's headquarters, without any military discipline.

The Han army fights one less one, after all, the Han army has military discipline and Han law, especially when the country is in trouble, it is the most important, even Emperor Ling has to go to the early dynasty on time every day, and he does not dare to make the slightest mistake, not to mention the army that is fighting abroad? If the Han army forcibly seized the people again, it would not be the death of the Han Dynasty, but the death of the Han Dynasty.

"General, although Xingbang is not a formal general, he has also made a lot of meritorious deeds, especially the defense of the city is a kind of combat method that Xingbang is best at, and the Tiger Prison Pass has natural dangers, as long as there is no shortage of food and grass, the last general believes that Xingbang will definitely be able to hold the Tiger Prison Pass and curb the Yellow Turban Army from entering the Guandong Border for a single step." Glancing at Wei Jie, who was still kneeling on the ground, Guan Yu nodded slightly, turned to Huang Zhong and saluted.

"Huh?" Huang Zhong saw that Guan Yu also agreed, and his expression couldn't help but loosen for a while, after all, the real military power is in the hands of Guan Yu and Wei Jie, this is a tacit fact, now that the two major powers are on the same line, Huang Zhong can't say anything to refute, what else can he do?

"In this case, Xingbang will lead 60,000 elites of the headquarters to the Tiger Prison Pass, remember, if you can't hold on, don't force it, keeping the lives of your brothers is the most important thing, at most half a month or a month, the god king can go south to Yanzhou, and when the god king is present, the Yellow Turban Army will definitely collapse without a fight!" Huang Zhong knew Liu Tai's achievements in Jizhou, knew that Liu Tai had now become the heart disease of the Yellow Turban Army, and there was a group of rabble outside the Tiger Prison Pass.

"Promise, the humble position will definitely live up to the expectations of the general, nor the expectations of the god king, and will definitely stick to the Tiger Prison Pass, and in the future, the land will be trapped in the Kanto, and you will not be allowed to enter the pass!" Wei Jie knocked on the leader's order, his expression was very solemn, although it was not the first time to lead the troops alone to resist the enemy, but this time the task was indeed unprecedentedly heavy, and the comparison of troops was also very different!

In fact, if there is no need to rescue Luoyang, Huang Zhong is also confident that he will lead 200,000 Qinglin Army iron cavalry to sweep millions of yellow turbans, but now Luoyang is the top priority, to ensure the security of Luoyang, the Han Dynasty will not destroy the country, and the prestige of the Han family will not be thrown in, and most importantly, Liu Tai's orders can also be completed very well.

In addition to guarding Luoyang, what else did Liu Tai command? In fact, before Huang Zhong went south, he received a secret letter from Liu Tai, the content had nothing to do with the military, but because of a woman, a woman with an unknown reputation, a woman that Liu Tai wanted to protect, of course, this would seem a bit ridiculous, but Liu Tai instructed, can Huang Zhong not do it?

The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, and the king wants the minister to find a woman cough has to find it.

After preparing the military rations, Wei Jie took 60,000 elites to the Tiger Prison Pass that day, and at the same time, Huang Zhong asked 40,000 foot soldiers to stay in Chenggao, and he and Guan Yu led 200,000 iron horsemen to Luoyang in the starry night to rescue Emperor Ling of Han and hundreds of officials of the imperial court who were in dire straits.
