After arriving in Chen County, Chen Qian, Shi Bao and Ma Long were already waiting for each other here. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, Chen Qian and Shi Bao were both white-haired old men, only Ma Long and Lu Kang were the same age, out of respect for the elderly, or Lu Kang thought that the number of troops sent by the three kings of Kwantung this time would exceed that of Wu State, so Lu Kang suggested that Chen Qian should serve as the commander of the four armies.

However, Chen Qian resigned, thinking that he was too old to take on this important position, and it was more appropriate for Lu Kang to hold it.

Since Chen Qian said so, Shi Bao and Ma Long naturally fully supported it, so the position of commander-in-chief of the four armies fell to Lu Kang's shoulders without any dispute.

Lu Kang also thinks that this commander of the four armies does not mean anything, not that he has the power to truly command the army of the three kings of Kwantung as the commander of the four armies, and in the battle against Shu, maybe they can still unite together, but once it involves competing interests, this fragile alliance may soon collapse.

However, this is not important, the important thing is that as long as they can maintain unity when fighting against Shu, it is enough for them to remain united, and everything is still unknown in the future, and Lu Kang at this time, he has not considered it at all.

After completing the assembly, the 250,000 troops under the command of Lu Kang barely made any stops, and then rushed straight to the Tiger Pass.

The reason why Lu Kang chose the Tiger Prison Pass as a breakthrough is because the Tiger Prison Pass is relatively simple compared to several passes in the south of Luoyang, as long as the Tiger Prison Pass is broken, Luoyang is close at hand, and there is no danger to be defended, but attacking Luoyang from the south is a heavy pass, at least three passes in a row.

Mountain warfare was not the strength of the Wu army, nor was it the strength of these former Jin armies in the three places of Kwantung, so after careful consideration, Lu Kang decided to seek a breakthrough from the Tiger Pass.

The plain area east of the Tiger Prison Pass was extremely favorable to the march of the army, and Lu Kang accelerated the speed of the march, starting from Chen County, and after three days, Lu Kang could see the Guancheng of the Tiger Pass.

Different from the majestic and steep of the imaginary Tiger Prison Pass, the Tiger Prison Pass in the eyes of Lu Kang at this moment can not talk about the title of Xiongguan at all, the Guancheng looks relatively dilapidated, the rammed earth built of the pass wall is mottled and uneven, many places are still newly repaired, and the traces of repair are quite obvious in the contrast between the old and the new.

In fact, this is also a normal phenomenon, the Tiger Prison Pass as the Wei and Jin Belly of the key pass, has long lost the value of the year, the Wei and Jin Dynasty to Wu is the southeast front, the Shu is the northwest front, its main forces are deployed on these two fronts, although the Gongwei Beijing Division is also more important, but after all, as a place in the belly, the defensive value of the Tiger Pass will certainly not be too large, although there are soldiers stationed, but the expenditure is insufficient, the destruction of the Tiger Pass is inevitable.

Many of the newly built walls must have been built just after the Shu army entered the Tiger Prison Pass, but the time is limited, and the Shu army may not be able to build the Tiger Prison Pass.

This is undoubtedly a good situation for Lu Kang, if the Tiger Prison Pass is as solid as a rock, then Wu Jun wants to take it, it will inevitably pay a considerable price, judging from the current situation, the Tiger Prison Pass is much weaker than imagined, Lu Kang can't help but be full of ambition, full of confidence, he immediately said to the left and right: "Who can go to the city to challenge?" ”

Among the Wu generals, one person flashed out, it was General Yangwu Zuo Yi, Lu Kang arched his hand and said: "The last general is willing to go." ”

Lu Kang said: "This is the first battle, it is very important, and we must not break the spirit of our army." ”

Zuo Yi laughed and said: "Don't worry, Da Sima will come out at the end, and he will not lose what Da Sima wants." ”

Zuo Yi is also a general, once followed Lu Kang into Shu to fight, and when fighting in Yizhou, he was promoted from the captain to the general of Yangwu because of his merits.

The news of the attack of the Wu army had already been discovered by the scouts of the Han army, and they immediately reported it to Huang Chong. Now Huang Chong's men only have 30,000 horses, while the Wu army has 250,000 horses, the ratio of troops is so huge, Huang Chong naturally did not dare to underestimate the enemy, in addition to quickly reporting to Luoyang's great Sima Liu Yin, Huang Chong ordered to close the city gate and wait for the battle.

At this moment, Zuo Yi led his troops straight to the Tiger Prison Pass, and called out for battle, these Wu soldiers were very rude, foul language, and scolded, greeting all the female members of the Han army within the eighteenth generation.

Huang Chong saw that although Zuo Yi only brought 3,000 people to call the battle, but behind him, there were more than 200,000 troops to help the battle, Huang Chong ignored it at all, and ordered the Han army to strictly guard the city and refuse to fight.

But the Wu people's scolding array angered one person, that is, the protector of the Wudang Fei Army, Zhang Le, the new general of Zhengdong, Zhang Le was originally a fiery temper, and he heard the Wu people insulting him in every way under the city, and the nameless fire suddenly couldn't hold back, so he asked Huang Chong to fight, and asked to go out of the city to meet the enemy.

Now the status of the Zhang family is different from the past, Zhang Le's father Zhang Shaoguan is the Taishi, Zhang Le's brother Zhang Zun served as the Zhongshu Order, Zhang Le himself is the first among the generals of the four expeditions and four towns, and the relationship between Zhang Le and Liu Yin is special, and he is the uncle and brother of today's son, the status is extraordinary, Huang Chong or fear that Zhang Le will lose, so he does not agree with him to fight.

Although Zhang Le has a hot temper, but he is not that kind of reckless character, he said to Huang Chong: "Huang Dudu, you see that this Wu people to challenge the city, very light the enemy and arrogant, between the vanguard and the army, the distance is still far away, wait for me to go out of the city to face the battle, kill him by surprise, presumably the army of Lu Kang is also too late, the Wu people are attacking this time, the momentum is violent, if you don't frustrate their prestige, I'm afraid this tiger prison is not easy to guard." ”

Huang Chong thought about it and felt that Zhang Le's words were reasonable, so he admonished: "Okay, then you are allowed to take 3,000 men and horses to fight, explore the reality of the Wu people, remember not to fall in love with the war, listen to the orders of the city, Mingjin must withdraw the troops, if you disobey the military order, it will definitely be dealt with by military law." ”

Zhang Le has a characteristic of fighting, once the battle is smooth, it is likely to be frenzy, so Huang Chong specially told Zhang Le to obey the order, after all, Huang Chong stood high on the gate and looked far away, once the Wu army brigade moved, he could see it clearly.

Zhang Le readily agreed, the purpose of his trip out of the city was to teach the Wu people a lesson about the arrogance and rudeness of the Wu people, if Zhang Le really wanted to fight against the more than 200,000 troops of the Lu Resistance, it would not be a game.

As soon as the city gate opened, Zhang Le led 3,000 Wudang Fei troops out of the city.
