(The first update arrived,This chapter was actually written yesterday.,Just polished it a little.,And then continue to write.,Work hard to finish.,I'm working hard for everyone.,Ask for a collection of reward tickets that you can ask for...... )

Tiger Prison Pass, also known as Bishui Pass (changed after the Tang Dynasty), in the west of Xingyang, in Surabaya Town, Chenggao County, as the eastern gateway of Luoyang and an important pass, because the King of Western Zhou Mu imprisoned the tiger in this prison and got its name; This place is connected with Songyue in the south, bordering the Yellow River in the north, the mountains are staggered, it is a natural danger, there is a tendency of "one husband is a pass, ten thousand people are not open", it is the place where the soldiers of all dynasties must fight, and it is regarded as the barrier in the east of Luoyang.

Tiger Prison Pass is located in the west of Xingyang, after the Dong Lian's army broke through Xingyang, the first obstacle encountered is here, and the difficulty of attacking Tiger Prison Pass is actually greater than Xingyang, because of the terrain of Tiger Prison, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

And for the coalition forces, for the princes who were eager to break through Luoyang and destroy the glory of Dong Zhuohui's Han dynasty (at least as the slogan shouted), this tiger prison was like a thorn stuck in their throats, eager to pull it out quickly, but they knew better that it was not an easy thing to pull out, not just talk.

In Xingyang City, the county guard, Yuan Shao called on the alliance leader's order, the princes rose up and sat in the hall, Yuan Shao looked around, and asked straight to the point: "Now Xingyang has been obtained, you can look at the tiger prison, but the defense of the tiger prison is only above Xingyang, who can be the vanguard for my coalition army to go straight to the tiger prison?" ”

To put it nicely, it's called a vanguard, but it's actually better to be cannon fodder, or a tentative, to see how the defense of the Tiger Prison is.

Xingyang seems to be easy to break, but it is because Yuan Shao or the Yuan family's earlier arrangement played a major role, and Dong Zhuo's unpopular rule is also the key, otherwise there would not be the turmoil of those families catering to the coalition forces; But the Tiger Prison is different, this is originally a fortress that is not easy to attack, not to mention that Dong Zhuojun has the lesson of Xingyang before, so he naturally sent more troops here early, and the defense will no longer show such a big flaw to give the coalition a chance.

As a result, the difficulty of attacking the Tiger Prison has skyrocketed.

So as soon as Yuan Shao's voice fell, the scene fell into a rare silence, and the princes looked at each other, some hesitation and some eagerness.

At this moment, Yuan Shao smiled slightly and said again: "Only a guard came to report that the guard of Xingyang City is Yang Feng, the captain of Yingyang under Dong Thief, who has escaped from Xingyang ...... under the escort of his subordinates."

As soon as these words came out, many people's faces immediately changed, and their brains turned quickly, and soon many people thought of the meaning behind Yuan Shao's words.

The so-called opportunity opportunity, in danger, may also be accompanied by opportunity, can be encountered but not sought, who can guarantee that the tiger prison will not be able to be beaten down?

According to Yuan Shao's words, thinking about it this way, in fact, the current situation is still beneficial to them, because the main general of the original Xingyang City defenders has now left Xingyang, and he is obviously going to go to the Tiger Prison Pass, but the distance from here to the Tiger Prison is not close, and the escape will not be able to escape all the time, and it is necessary to spare the horsepower, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents, as long as there is a stop on the way, then let the coalition side have enough time to arrive before him, and then use a little means, who can say that there must be no hope to take the opportunity to take the Tiger Prison?

Although there is a great possibility that the escapee will have reached the Tiger Prison before it, as long as there are some opportunities, especially the possible rewards are so attractive, it is always worth trying.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little warm, and the factor that made them hesitate seemed to be gone in an instant.

Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang and Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin were among them, but before they could come out, they were seized by others.

"Sun Jian is here, willing to be a pioneer!" I saw a person striding high, ahead of everyone, and the first few steps came to Yuan Shao, and he gave up.

Everyone's eyes then noticed this person, this person is burly, about eight feet tall, with strong arms and a resolute face, and Yuan Shao only saw clearly that this person is Changsha Taishou, surnamed Sun Mingjian Zi Wentai, and or, more precisely, he should be the general of the Broken Captives now.

After breaking Xingyang, the princes felt that they also had confidence, so they began to claim official positions and benefits from Luoyang under various banners and names, after all, the one who really mastered the name was still in Luoyang at this time, in the hands of Dong Zhuo's house, but in fact, everyone knew these things in the name, and now even if the imperial court, even if Dong Zhuo does not give them it has become an established fact, just like this broken general, the report over there has not yet come out, and it has begun to be called out here, anyway, every prince who participated in the alliance has received their own "reward". ”。 …,

And after receiving these notices, Dong Zhuo's side was also funny, all the princes who participated in this fight against Dong Lianjun basically had a formal reward order, and these rewards were similar to what they reported in the past, but people like Liu Biao, who did not participate in this alliance this time, did not see the slightest edict, of course, everyone also saw through the sinister intentions of Dong Zhuo's side at once, he still seemed to want to use this to provoke the relationship between the princes of the alliance, but unfortunately it was already recognized. Everyone accepted the reward happily one by one, but as for any drama such as rebellion, it didn't happen, everyone knows the importance of the alliance as a whole at this time, and no one will suddenly destroy it without other accidents or anything more attractive to them, but these are actually later words.

This captivity general Sun Jian, in fact, originated at the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, when the imperial court on the one hand appointed the three major lieutenant generals to order the central army to go around to suppress thieves, on the other hand, to inform the world, so that all localities to recruit their own troops, which is equivalent to giving the local government great power, the opening of the power of private recruitment, is also equivalent to increasing the ambition of many people, after all, ambition is such a thing, it must be proportional to the power in hand.

At that time, it was not good to say whether there were thieves in other places to respect themselves, but Sun Jian did not have that idea, he recruited 3,000 soldiers in his hometown, and then resolutely devoted himself to the great cause of suppressing thieves, and then made great contributions, and also rose because of this, and his position as the Taishou of Changsha came from this.

And now, it can also be said that this Sun Jian is one of the very few people who participated in the alliance this time and came to the place for Kuang to support the Han family and crusade against the national thieves, but when he first joined the coalition army, he had concerns in his heart, although it was for the imperial court, but he was not a brainless person, and he was naturally able to see many things behind the alliance, there were entanglements of interests, there were also compromises and various secret contests, in short, the internal complexity was not enough to speak.

And now the coalition army has traveled all the way from Chenliu, it can be said that it is like a bamboo, and the breakthrough of Xingyang is to make Sun Jian completely stand on the side of the coalition army, after all, the situation has gradually become clear, and the general trend of the coalition army is almost irreversible.

Of course, even if he didn't participate in the coalition army originally, Sun Jian would not be with Dong Zhuo no matter what, but now that he is in the coalition army, he is very clear about the shortcomings of Dong Zhuo's coalition army, and now his appearance is a little clearer, but it is the best time for him to take the initiative.

Wentai has this heart, Shao also feels very relieved, but Wentai should know that the situation of Tiger Prison is different from Xingyang, Xingyang is Shao has been prepared, and its guards are too confident in its defense, and its defense is loose inside and outside is also a big loophole, so it can be taken down so easily; However, the danger of the Tiger Prison is especially greater than that of Xingyang, and with the matter of Xingyang in advance, I am afraid that the precautions are even worse, and it is not easy to take it, and even if you are not careful, you may even fall into it. If not, the Observatory will consider it again? "Yuan Shao is not thinking about Sun Jian, he is not so good and generous, but he already has a better pioneer candidate in his heart, the purpose is not enough, anyway, it is not a good intention.

And some of the other princes want to seize this opportunity, some have objections, in short, they have their own thoughts, and many of them don't want Sun Jian to go out, so at this time, they are also watching whether Sun Jian can calm down and reconsider after being persuaded by Yuan Shao.

"Alliance leader, please rest assured, Jian has already made up his mind that if he can succeed, he will be imprisoned and add another city to the coalition army." Sun Jian said with confidence, even if everyone questioned it again, it was not good to say anything, Yuan Shao waited for a while, and seeing that Sun Jian still had no intention of changing his mind, he simply stopped caring about it, so he smiled and said: "Okay!" Since Wentai insisted on it so much, the leader of the alliance ordered him: Sun Jian, the general of the alliance, was the vanguard of the coalition army, and immediately set off with troops, and the soldiers were in prison. Shao is here with you to wait for the triumphant return of Wentai's meritorious service......"
