Then Dong Shouye should revise his previous policy.

Dong Shouye looked at the people in front of him and said slowly: "Right now, Zhu Juntun is in Mu County, and his intentions are unknown, I don't know what everyone here thinks?" ”

Jia Xu has also been thinking about the defense arrangement of Luoyang in the past few days, and when he saw Dong Shouye asking, he took the lead and said: "Son, before the imperial court moved the capital to Chang'an, our army gave up the Tiger Prison Pass and left Chenggao County. Now it seems that although our army's move is intended to show goodwill to the Kwantung princes, the other party does not seem to appreciate it. At present, Zhu Jun betrayed Luoyang and raised troops in Zhongmu County, with the intention of advancing westward. The Tiger Prison Pass is in a critical position, so why not put the main force near the Tiger Prison Pass and focus on guarding against Zhu Jun. ”

Dong Shouye said: "Before, my son asked General Xu to lead the army to be stationed in Gongxian to show that our army had no intention of advancing eastward, but now it seems that if I don't offend people, people will come to offend me." In this case, this son immediately went to the Tiger Prison Pass to defend it, and never let the enemy go further west. General Xu, you immediately led the main force of your department to follow, is there any delay in your work now? ”

Xu Rong replied: "Returning to Gongzi, the last general has been leading his troops to build water conservancy and tamping roads recently, which are all some basic work, and even now it has not had much impact. At present, the land that has been reclaimed is just enough for more than 5,000 soldiers and civilians to cultivate. ”

When Dong Shouye heard this, he nodded and said, "That's good, it's good that it doesn't delay the cultivation of the army and the people." After the army was stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass, it happened to rely on the water and the flood water to reclaim the land. The land through which the two rivers flow is a place of fertile land. And near the river, you can catch fish and shrimp to supplement the rations. Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water! It's always good to save a little bit. The Tiger Prison Pass is also near Daling Mountain, and the soldiers can also go up the mountain to hunt and fight tooth sacrifices. ”

The civil and military generals in the room felt a little funny and a little surprised when they saw Dong Shouye calculating small accounts there, but they didn't expect that he seemed to be a carefree son, but he had been carefully calculating various trivial matters in the army.

Dong Shouye led his army from Gongxian to Chenggao and reoccupy the Tiger Pass.

Xu Rong left 5,000 prisoners in Tuntian, Gongxian County, and sent 1,000 soldiers to monitor and guard here.

Now the arrangement of prisoners in Tuntian has just begun, and many prisoners cannot adapt to their roles in a short period of time, so the soldiers of the Xiliang Army need to use leather whips to communicate with them.

At the same time, Xu Rong also released a word, and whoever is good in Tuntian will give priority to supplementing the army. And these captives also heard that Dong Shouye's son once said that these captives all made mistakes with Sun Jian, so they must be punished, but even the punishment has a time limit, and many people just blindly obey and do not commit crimes to death. According to the prisoners' expressions in the tuntian, Dong Shouye would consider releasing all of them after five or eight years. But the length of time depends on the specific expression of the captives.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and everyone knows this, so many captives began to settle down and work seriously.

Farm work may be difficult for some, but not at all in this group of captives, because most of them were landless peasants before they joined Sun Jian's army. Having land to grow is a beautiful thing for them.

Now most of the captives can't eat enough, but most of the captives are acceptable, after all, the more bitter days have passed before, although they eat less, but some of them eat, it is better than eating when they were in Yuzhou.

After Dong Shouye led the army to the Tiger Pass, he began to prepare to repair the Tiger Pass and reorganize the defense of the Tiger Pass. Fortunately, there were manpower everywhere, Xu Rong divided the remaining less than 30,000 captives into two parts, a small part was responsible for repairing the Tiger Prison, and most of the rest were all reclaimed near the Bishui River and Manshui River, building water conservancy, and leveling roads.

Dong Shouye looked at the thriving scenes in front of him, and was very satisfied. For these prisoners of war, this year may be a difficult time, but after this hurdle, life will be much better.

After helping Xu Rong arrange some trivial affairs in Tuntian, Dong Shouye took the people of his headquarters to leave the Tiger Prison Pass, and camped twenty miles outside the Tiger Prison Pass, forming a horn with the Tiger Prison Pass to support each other.

At this time, the analysis of the news obtained by Zhu Juntong Guò of Mu County in the garrison concluded that Xu Rong was just bluffing, and the main force of the Xiliang Army had already left Luoyang. Zhu Jun felt that Xu Rong was dragged down by this large number of captives, and he would definitely not be his opponent, so he led his troops westward and wanted to attack Xu Rong.

So, Zhu Jun led 15,000 men and horses to leave Zhongmu County, all the way to the west, through the forest, to the vicinity of Meishan. Then stopped, at this time, Zhu Jun got the news from the sour jujube camp that a large group of men and horses from the Xiliang Army had entered Xiaopingjin, as if they had the intention of crossing the river. What a lag this news must have! It had been almost half a month since Dong Shouye arrived in Xiaopingjin, and the news of the Kwantung princes was too ill-informed.

In fact, it is not that the Kwantung princes are ill-informed, but Yuan Shao felt a little embarrassed when he saw that Wang Kuang was easily defeated by the Xiliang army, so he kept blocking the news and letting the news lag behind.

Zhu Jun heard that the main force of the Xiliang Army was still in Xiaopingjin and Wang Kuang, and suddenly put his heart in his stomach. So he left Meishan with his men and entered the county seat of Jingxian County.

Jing County is ten kilometers southeast of Xingyang County, Zhengzhou today, and in 205 BC, the Chu and Han sides fought near Jing County. After Zhu Jun led 15,000 men and horses to stay in Jingxian County for one night, he led the crowd to the north, crossed the Zhanran River, and arrived near Yuting in Xingyang County, where Dong Shouye had just set up camp outside the Tiger Prison Pass.

The two sides coincidentally sent rangers to scout each other, and almost at the same time discovered each other, which was very tacit. Everyone is not here to travel, they are all here to fight. Now that they have all appeared in the eyes of the other party, a big war is inevitable.

After Zhu Jun led the army to Yuting, the distance between the two armies was sixty or seventy miles. Originally, the weapons and equipment under Zhu Jun's command were not very good, they were all broken copper and iron, and there were not many decent equipment.

But since Zhu Jun successfully walked around Luoyang and came back safely, the princes in the sour jujube camp admired him, and many of the princes were also Zhu Jun's protégés, and many of them had served under Zhu Jun, especially when the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled.
