Chapter 128: The Decisive Battle of the Tiger Prison Pass (1)
The crown prince Sima Shu led the army to the Tiger Prison Pass, causing a shock to the defenders in the pass. On that day, the tiger prison was closed up and down, and the drums were noisy, and it was very lively. The big move on the Tiger Prison naturally startled the King of Hejian who was stationed under the pass.
Surrounded by the generals, the king of Hejian cautiously shouted at the prince on the tiger prison: "Xiao'er Sima Shu, now that my hundreds of thousands of allied troops are besieging Luoyang, you are already in the dead ground, if you want to save your life, it is better to surrender as soon as possible!" The widow will let you live for the sake of the same Emperor Xuan, if you still resist to the end, be careful of dying and ruining! ”
This person, obviously he is in a difficult position to move an inch, and now he is here to show off his might, Sima Shu looked at the acting King of Hejian with a smile, and he didn't bother to deal with the other party at all.
Li Te, who was next to him, was quite dissatisfied when he heard it, and snorted coldly: "Now the four seas are all subordinate to the imperial court, but you and other vassal kings are going against the sky and obstructing the prestige and education of the imperial court, which is why we are waiting for the east." Sooner or later, a certain family must take the head of the other item! ”
"Bold, who are you? How dare you insult us? Sima Xiao'er, look at the virtues of your subordinates! You don't respect your ancestors, you don't respect the law of etiquette, you deserve to be rebelled and besieged by us! ”
Li Teh snorted, waved the saber in his hand, and shouted, "What do you mean by disrespecting ancestors? Disrespecting the law? Could it be that we, the common people, can only respect the law of etiquette by allowing your wealthy families to oppress and plunder without complaint? If it weren't for the common people of the world, the common people would have no way to live by the big families; If it weren't for the family, they would only know arrogance and lasciviousness; If it weren't for the mediocrity of the family; How could the prince cut you down, in the final analysis, it is your family that is insatiable! ”
For a moment, the king of Hejian was speechless. After a while, he said again: "Which is right and which is wrong, the widow does not know." It's just that the crown prince shouldn't depose the king of Qi, how to say that the king of Qi is also the prince's elder. Such an unkind abolition of the king of Qi as a concubine, wouldn't everyone in the clan be in danger? ”
Sima Shu snorted coldly and said, "You are also worthy of calling yourself the royal clan?" One by one, they only know that they are camping for power, and in order to satisfy their personal ambitions, they even do not hesitate to collude with the Hu people. Hum! Sooner or later, Lone will kill you all one by one. ”
Hearing that Sima Shu talked about the Hu cavalry, Sima Shu was not only not ashamed, but complacent, and happy, "In this way, the widow wants to sum up with the prince." ”
The brow is slightly twisted. Sima Shu let out an "oh", "I would like to hear it in detail." ”
"Although your command is brave and good at fighting, but after more than a month of fighting, although we still can't capture your Luoyang. But few people are sure that your losses will definitely not be small, even if you are supported by the center, but in the face of the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops of our three kings, I am afraid that the strength will be stretched. Now that the King of the East China Sea has come to the aid of the widows, Tiger Prison Pass will inevitably be besieged by the Alliance Army. Sima Xiao'er, think about the soldiers under your command, who are already exhausted, war-weary, and homesick at this time, and will definitely not be able to stop the impact of our army at that time. The widow just thought. As long as you exit the border and surrender, we can coexist peacefully, and the truce will cease to the army. Wouldn't it be better? ”
This cunning man actually started to persuade him to surrender again. For the thoughts of the King of the River. Sima Shu was clear, nothing more than seeing the arrival of the King of the East China Sea. His dominance was threatened, so in order to increase his own right to speak, Sima Yan wanted to take advantage of the situation to persuade Sima Shu to surrender, did he think that the king of the East China Sea would give in when Sima Shu came?
Sima Shu was still thinking about his own thoughts, but he saw Zu Yue next to him pointing at the silver spear in his hand, and said with hatred: "We were ordered to quell the rebellion, and we were not ordered to reconcile with you!" Old thief, you just wait for your life. The captain of this school is still waiting to use your head to get promoted and make a fortune! ”
Signaling the generals to be calm and not to be bored, Sima Shu said loudly: "Sima Xuan, this palace might as well tell you." Although Lone only commanded less than 10,000 soldiers and horses to come to reinforce him, this palace will definitely be able to take down your group of rebels! ”
"Okay, well, in that case, the widow is waiting for you to take the widow's head!" Annoyed and angry, Sima Yan said hatefully.
"Hehehe, old thief, you just wait to die! The main palace will ride a tall horse and personally cut off the heads of the others! ”
After finishing speaking, he no longer bothered with Sima Yan, Sima Shu waved his hand and led his subordinates down the city wall. The tiger prison was closed, leaving only the flags flying in the sky.
With this momentum, even if he knew that reinforcements were coming, the king of Hejian still had a trace of fear in his heart. His hand trembled a little and clenched the horsewhip in his hand, squinting at the tiger prison closing the bright flag armor and the well-groomed prince's army, and let out a loud cheer.
In the face of a strong enemy, Sima Shu showed the determination and energy to implement the new policy in Xincheng, and as soon as he arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass, he convened the generals to study the situation and discuss a solution. Sometimes he was so busy that he didn't eat, sleep, or remove his armor for a whole day, leading his subordinates to study day and night, and carefully planning until the king of the East China Sea led the army to reach the Tiger Prison Pass.
Tiger Prison Pass, named after King Mu of the Western Zhou Dynasty who imprisoned the tiger here. It is connected to Songyue in the south and the Yellow River in the north, and the mountains are staggered, becoming a natural danger, and it is a place where soldiers of all dynasties must fight. Liu Bang and Xiang Yu once fought for the city here, especially the 'Three Heroes Battle of Lu Bu' in the late Eastern Han Dynasty made it even more famous.
Now, Sima Shu stands on the Tiger Prison Pass, quite a 'will be at the top, a glance at the mountains'.
"Your Highness, the rebels of the King of the East China Sea are less than 30 miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass."
Listening to the news that the scouts had returned, Sima Shu smiled. Finally, when the king of the East China Sea came, he asked Gu to kill all the thieves of these countries. Fortunately, there is a tiger prison in front of Luoyang to defend, and this Xiongguan is enough to block the rebels under the pass, otherwise I am afraid that the rebels will already surround Luoyang, and he has only one way to evacuate Luoyang.
Sima Shu relied on the Tiger Prison Pass to occupy the geographical advantage, while the two princes of the East China Sea and the King of Hejian occupied a great advantage in terms of military strength. One side has few soldiers and is well-trained, and occupies the advantage of the location; The other side is full of people with different thoughts; It is still unknown who killed the deer.
"Revisit."
After a short time, the scout probed back the news, "The king of the East China Sea knows that our reinforcements have arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass, and because he can't figure out the strength of our army, the enemy army does not dare to act for the time being. The camp had been set up 15 miles away. ”
Hearing this, not only Sima Shu smiled, but also Li Te, Zu Yue and others who accompanied him laughed.
The cowering of the king of the East China Sea greatly increased the confidence of Sima Shu and the others, and he ordered: "Xuan Xiu, you and the palace will go to the rebel camp together in a while." ”
Seeing everyone's worried eyes, Sima Shu said again: "Yao Gezhong and Fu Hong will wait and you will take 500 dragoons to set up an ambush on the way to the rebel camp. ”
If a person as smart as Zhang Bin was here, he would definitely be able to understand Sima Shu's difficulties. More than 10,000 people against more than 100,000 rebels, including 50,000 elite cavalry of the Hu tribe, he himself is not afraid, but how can his soldiers not be afraid? He now decided to lure the enemy alone and lure the rebels to chase him, but he hoped to win a beautiful small battle to boost the morale of the army.
"The last general is willing to go with His Highness to watch the enemy."
"The last general is also willing to go."
Looking at the generals who asked for battle, Sima Shu said with a smile: "It's just a small fight, and it's not good if there are too many people." Except for Xuan Xiu, Yao Gezhong, and Fu Hong, who went with the palace, the rest of them stayed. As for the matter of building a camp and arranging defenses, it was handed over to the ancestral captain. ”
When Zu Yue heard this, he clasped his fists and saluted: "Your Highness, please rest assured, when Your Highness returns victoriously, this will definitely be a camp with strong barriers, and the banquet for His Highness's celebration will be ready." ”
"Okay, Shi Shao, so say, this palace will be relieved."
The rebel camp, the garrison of Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, is a majestic camp that stretches for more than 20 miles, and it is daunting. At this time, Sima Shu and them were only 3 miles away from the rebel camp, even if they were bold, the guards around Sima Shu still swallowed their saliva unconsciously. Only Lee, who had always been unstoppable, stared at the rebel camp with a pair of lantern-like eyes burning intently.
Sima Shu stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin, and said with a slow smile: "Is this palace really a little overwhelmed?" ”
"Whether it's beyond your own strength or not, you'll know when you hit it."
Listening to Li Te's words, Sima Shu smiled again, "Xuan Xiu is right, is it not self-sufficient, you have to fight to know, if we win, you will all be famous in history, so that future generations can look up." It's nothing if we lose, it's a big deal that we return to Guanzhong to be a turtle with a shrunken head for a few years, and this palace will never believe that we will lose to a group of wine bags and rice bags on the other side. ”
Ahem, a guard next to him couldn't help but want to tell the two people in front of him who were discussing whether to win or lose: Your Highness, now we are in a very dangerous area directly in front of the rebel camp, which is a very dangerous area, and now it is not a question of winning or losing the war, but how to escape for a dozen of us and how to successfully lead the rebels into the ambush circle.
After a while, Sima Shu seemed to notice the helpless eyes of the guards around him, and he also felt that it was a bit inappropriate to discuss this topic at this time, so they both turned their heads and took a closer look at the rebel camp again.
I have to say that there are still talents in the rebel camp, and looking at the way the other party camps, you can see that they also prevent Sima Shu from using fire attacks. If his camps are connected, a simple 'burning the company camp' can make these rebels die without a place to bury, but helplessly, the king of the East China Sea is not Liu Bei, so he has to use other methods to deal with him.
Just as Sima Shu was observing the rebel camp, he heard a "click" of horses' hooves approaching, which was the rebel patrol coming. Moreover, the sound of rushing horses' hooves can be judged that the rebel patrol is getting closer and closer to the place where Sima Shu is hiding. No longer hesitating, Sima Shu stood up first, looking at the rebel patrol soldiers with a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth.
It was unexpected, so unexpected that the patrol of thirty people, Sima Shu and the others stared at each other.
Sima Shu is not a weak scholar who can't pick his hands and can resist his shoulders, he has been practicing diligently in recent years, and the 'welfare' of crossing has made him not only born with divine power, but also practiced a high level of martial arts and archery. Now he was holding a crossbow in his hand, pointing at the rebels opposite, and said proudly: "I am the prince...... Sima Shu! (To be continued......)
