Chapter 329: Tricking the Tiger Prison

Xiahou Dun immediately replied: "A few days ago, Gao Lan, the general of the Yuan Army, came to the Tiger Prison Pass to report that the lord was trapped and wanted the army to come to the rescue, so I led 10,000 fresh troops out of the Tiger Prison Pass to save the lord, and the lord was really under siege!" ”

After Xiahou Dun finished speaking, Cao Cao pondered for a moment and suddenly shouted: "Not good! Hurry up and go to the Tiger Prison! ”

Seeing that Cao Cao was so unknown, Xiahou Dun immediately escorted Cao Cao and went straight to the Tiger Prison.

Cao Cao came to the Tiger Prison Pass under the escort of Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Dun immediately shouted: "Why don't you open the city gate soon when the lord returns?" ”

"Hahahaha, General Cao, you're late!" As he spoke, he saw a person coming out of the gate, wearing a steel helmet, a beard, a square face, and a majestic face, Xia Houdun immediately shouted: "Gao Ran, don't you hurry up and open the city gate, when will you wait?" ”

"Phew! Who is Gao Lanwu, Guan Yu's general, Xu Huang is also! Xu Huang retorted.

After Xu Huang finished speaking, another person flashed out and said to Cao Cao: "Cao Cao Ru has already fallen into my brother's plan!" If you know what's interesting, hurry up and grab it! ”

Cao Cao fixed his eyes and saw that the speaker was none other than Liu Bei-Liu Xuande, and Cao Cao immediately said angrily: "Vertical son An dares to do this!" ”

It turned out that when Cao Cao and the generals rushed to Luoyang, Liu Bei and Xu Huang pretended to be Yuan Shao's sergeants and came to the Tiger Prison Pass, Xu Huang claimed to be Yuan Shao's favorite general Gao Lan, because it was dark and Xiahou Dun and others basically had no impression of Gao Lan, and they had never seen Xu Huang this person, thinking that Xu Huang was the legendary general Gao Lan, so he no longer doubted that Xu Huang lied that Cao Cao was under siege and could not get out, hoping that the Tiger Prison Pass would go to reinforcements, Xiahou Dun heard that Cao Cao was in trouble and did not dare to slack off when even if he ordered 10,000 troops out of the Tiger Prison Pass to rescue the driver

Xiahou Dun came out of the Tiger Prison Pass, and Xu Huang lied that there were chasing soldiers behind him who entered the Tiger Prison Pass and avoided it for the time being, and only Yu Ban and Lu Qian were left in the Tiger Prison Pass at this time. Lu Qian saw that it was Yuan Shao's army, which was equivalent to a friendly army, how could a friendly army not help, and when Xiahou Dun's army left the city, Lu Qian welcomed Xu Huang into the city, one out and one in, but Yu Ban was a little suspicious in the city. However, at this time, Xu Huang has entered the city, Xu Huang crossed the horse and danced the knife into the city, Lu Qian caught it in the city, Xu Huang took advantage of Lu Qian's unpreparedness to raise the big axe and slash Lu Qian under the horse, Yu Ban in the city saw this and commanded the army to pounce on Xu Huang, at this time Liu Bei also rushed into the city with the army, and Xu Huang rushed to the city together, like a countercurrent surging the entire Tiger Prison Pass.

Xu Huang and Liu Bei led the army on a rampage and struggled to kill the Tiger Prison Pass, where did the Cao army in the Tiger Prison Pass resist the enemy's defeat and retreat. Xu Huang and Liu Bei were like a broken bamboo and defeated the defenders under the city, Yu Ban saw Xu Huang kill into the Tiger Prison Pass, so he went down to the city to block, Yu Ban crossed the horse and danced the gun with a large team of men and horses to rush down to the city to fight Xu Huang, Xu Huang came to fight with a big axe, the two immediately fought each other, the two weapons fought together, Xu Huang took a round to attack Yu Ban. Yu Ban came to greet him with a steel gun, and the two fought more than 20 times in a row. At this time, Liu Bei killed from the oblique stab, Yu Ban was stabbed in the left arm by Liu Bei with a sword, Xu Huang saw that Yu Ban was injured and the attack of the big axe was even more violent, Yu Ban where to resist the enemy's stay, leaving the two of them and the sergeants to break out of the East Gate of the Tiger Prison Pass, and fled in a hurry. Xu Huang and Liu Bei led the army and quickly occupied the Tiger Pass.

Compared with Xiahou Dun escorted Cao Cao back to the Tiger Prison Pass, the Tiger Prison Pass had been occupied by Liu Bei and Xu Huang, the city gate had been closed at this time, the drawbridge had been pulled up, and the antlers were also arranged to protect it. Cao Cao knew that it was impossible to seize the Tiger Prison Pass now, and Guan Yu was still chasing behind, so he had no choice but to leave with Xiahou Dun, and then the generals arrived, several soldiers and horses gathered in one place again, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xiahou Yuan, Zang Ba, Cao Hong arrived one after another, so that Cao Cao was very pleased that all the generals were still in the only Cao Hong left arm was injured, Cao Cao then asked Cao Hong about the injury, Cao Hong called Ma Chao stabbed, Cao Cao was shocked after hearing this: I didn't expect Guan Yu to have such a fierce general.

Xiahou Dun asked Cao Cao, "What should we do now, lord?" ”

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, since the Tiger Prison Pass is lost, there is no need to rob it, and now the closest thing to the Tiger Prison Pass is Wancheng, let's go there first!" After Cao Cao finished speaking, he led the generals to Wancheng to drive, and on the way he encountered the two armies of Yu Ban and merged again, when Cao Cao learned that he had folded the general Lu Qian couldn't help but cry: "Poor Lu Zike has followed me for so many years and has made many achievements, and I have lost a talent!" All the generals were sad when they heard this, and Cao Cao tried his best to calm down and said: "Guan Yuwu was earned by you again this time, and he should take revenge in the future!" After speaking, he rode back to Wancheng with the generals

At this time, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu were still stationed in Wancheng and learned that Cao Cao returned to catch and welcome the opening of Wancheng, Cao Cao's loss in this battle is not small, and the general Lu Qian injured the general Cao Hong, and lost the tiger prison pass, and broke 20,000 horses, the results of the previous battle were wiped out at once, and after returning to Wancheng, Cao Cao's army began to repair and open.

But said that Guan Yu regained the tiger prison again, the power was greatly boosted, he will plan to adjust the tiger from the mountain to the east and west, this time Guan Yu will learn the art of war in his life to the extreme, he used Cao Cao's suspicious characteristics, in the direction of Luoyang drums and gongs, ignited firewood and grass, so that the sergeants shouted and made a noise, which is equivalent to throwing a bait to Cao Cao, Cao Cao thought that Yuan Shao and Guan Yu did it, Yuan Shao attacked Luoyang, such a big movement Cao Cao could no longer sit still and led the sergeants to participate, because if Yuan Shao attacked LuoyangIf Yuan Shao's army is unfavorable, he can go to help Yuan Shao, if Yuan Shao's army takes the initiative, he can also participate in the first step to occupy Luoyang, this is the purpose of his troops.

But Cao Cao never thought that the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind! Guan Yu This is just a bait released Cao Cao was really fooled, he couldn't wait to send troops, but how did he know, Guan Yu had already arranged a huge net waiting for Cao Cao to take the bait, in order to be able to give Cao Cao a heavy blow, Guan Yu set up three ambushes in a row on the road, he knew that it was not easy to kill Cao Cao in one fell swoop, Cao Cao had too many fierce generals, but he definitely had to give him a heavy blow that was a fatal blow. Even if Cao Cao's life is not enough, he will have to pay a heavy price for his army, the three lines of defense have already been arranged, and after Cao Cao comes out, the first line of defense, that is, Ma Chao and Pang De, let Cao Cao go first, and the second line of defense Zhang Fei and Wen Ping also let him go, and wait until he and Cao Cao are on fire. When Cao Cao fled in a hurry, the two lines of defense launched attacks one after another.

Cao Cao's subordinates really have no shortage of fierce generals, every time they encounter a blockade, there are generals who come forward to rescue, and when the third line of defense Cao Cao has been lacking in good generals, he just met Pang De lost Cao Cao, Pang De has never seen Cao Cao before he first came, plus he didn't think about it at all, so Cao Cao slipped out from under his nose, Guan Yu was very annoyed afterwards, but he calmed down and thought about it, if he killed Cao Cao like this, then he would have no opponent in the future. When Cao Cao came to the Tiger Prison Pass, he found that it had been occupied by Liu Bei, of course, this was also carefully planned by Guan Yu, he asked Xu Huang to pretend to be Yuan Shao's officers and soldiers, and called himself the general Gao Ran to earn the Tiger Prison Pass, Xu Huang was not known to Cao General as a strange face, the key is that Gao Ran, the general, is not particularly eye-catching, and Cao Jiang has not been in contact with nature, and he is not sure, so he deceived the world and crossed the sea, Xu Huang earned the Tiger Prison Pass, and also beheaded Cao Cao's general Lu Qian, and gained a lot

In this battle, Guan Yu defeated Cao Cao. The generals also admired Guan Yu's clever plan, and Guan Yu boldly used Ma Chao and Pang De in this battle. The performance of the two made him quite satisfied, Guan Yu walked to the Tiger Prison Pass in person surrounded by the generals, Guan Yu accompanied by Zhang Fei, Wen Ping, Ma Chao, and Pang De to the Tiger Prison Pass, Liu Bei and Xu Huang caught it, Liu Bei praised Guan Yu: "The second brother is really a god!" ”

"It's all thanks to Lord Cao Cao! If he hadn't been clever and mistaken by cleverness, how could we have taken the tiger prison? Yes? Hahaha! Guan Yu teased after hearing this. After Guan Yu finished speaking, all the generals also laughed.

The Tiger Prison was lost and recovered so quickly, and a stone in Guan Yu's heart finally fell to the ground. Liu Bei then admonished Guan Yu: "Second brother! I think we should take advantage of the victory to attack and recover the Bishui Pass in one fell swoop, so as not to delay the days and nights and dream too much! ”

After hearing this, Guan Yu pondered for a moment, waved his hand at Liu Bei and said, "Don't care about him yet!" Yuan Shao occupies a water gate and can't become a climate! Wait! Now Bishui Pass has become a lonely city, if Yuan Shao enters Luoyang, then he is looking for death, and we will attack him at the same time in Luoyang and Tiger Prison Pass. So that he can't take care of each other, so as long as he sends troops, he will definitely be defeated! If he doesn't send troops, what good will it do for so many troops to defend such a pass? What's more, Brother Tai has already sent a letter to Gongsun Zan asking him to send troops to attack Yuan Shao from behind, so don't worry! ”

After hearing this, Liu Bei stroked his beard and said, "What the virtuous brother thinks about is that the analysis is reasonable!" ”

Guan Yu found Zhang Fei again and said that Zhang Fei said: "I will take it back for you this time, you have to take care of me!" ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he objected: "Forget it! I think you'd better be smart! I can't do this! ”

Guan Yu saw Zhang Fei shirking and said, "Who do you invite?" Do you want the eldest brother to guard the tiger prison? ”

"This 、、、、 you have so many generals to change who can't do it, why do you have to change the eldest brother?" Zhang Fei fluttered his head and said.

Guan Yu continued: "Let you guard it, you will guard it, this is an order, it is also a trust in you, and it is also a training for you, why do you have to drink and make mistakes?" Can you die if you don't drink it? Yes? From now on, you will stop serving the liquor, and I will let you drink! It's better for you to drink, and I'll give you something good than if you drink! ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, his eyes widened and asked, "What good thing?" ”

"Tea! All of them I brought from Xiliang, but they are the Tianshan Snow Lotus from the Western Regions! If you're addicted, drink some of this, and don't drink alcohol again! Guan Yu said.

Zhang Fei muttered after hearing this: "What I think is a good thing is tea, you can't cut off my wine all at once, then it's better to slaughter it for me, you have to leave me a process!" ”

"Alright! I'll send a special person to supervise you if you overdose! Aren't you a corporal sergeant? I'll punish you first! I'll make you drink big! Guan Yu reprimanded Zhang Fei.

Although Guan Yu had a taste of reprimand, there was one thing that made Zhang Fei feel happy, that is, he would still have wine to drink in the future, and it would be okay to provide wine in rations! At the very least, you can drink it! I saw Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows and said, "Hehe! Yes! Yes! Everything is up to the second brother! ”

Guan Yu then asked Zhang Feidao, "How did Cao Cao capture the Tiger Prison Pass so quickly and in such a short period of time?" ”

Zhang Fei reported to Guan Yu: "I heard from his sergeants that Cao Cao used advanced weapons in this siege, and I heard that the arrows flew from the ground to the city with fire, and they could send out several rounds at once, which caught the defenders of the city off guard. Unable to defend himself, another weapon was ignited and rushed to the city gate to burn the drawbridge! ”

Guan Yu pondered while listening, and waited until Zhang Fei finished speaking, Guan Yu stroked his beard, and then said, "Order someone to quickly find out the structure of these two weapons!" ”

"No!" Zhang Fei took the order and left

Guan Yu arranged the affairs of the Tiger Prison Pass and decided to leave the 50,000 army to guard it, and the guard was still Zhang Fei. He went back to Luoyang with everyone, and put aside Yuan Shao regardless of asking, Guan Yu and Liu Bei returned to Luoyang and began to study the affairs of Luoyang, before Guan Yu imprisoned a group of ministers in the Chongde Palace, and when he returned to Luoyang, Guan Yu began to study the state of affairs in Luoyang, and these ministers imprisoned by Guan Yu had assisted him in eradicating Dong Zhuo, and they were also loyal to the current Son of Heaven, but these people began to be jealous of themselves. If you don't solve these people, it will cause a lot of trouble for yourself in the future, even if these people are loyal to the emperor, it will be a big trouble for themselves in the future, if you go out to the west in the future, once there is civil strife here, it will be a big stumbling block for yourself to collude with the inside and outside as it is now.

Guan Yu began to think about it in the mansion, and suddenly he had an idea to call his next warrior and said: "Go and check for me what these ministers and their children are in the list of, and how much they can eat!" ”

"No!" The warrior took the order, and this was one of the eighteen warriors. The warrior immediately went to investigate the matter, and Guan Yu waited anxiously in the mansion. Now Guan Yu suddenly found that he needed a competent assistant to assist him in his work, this is called a secretary in modern times, and he can be called a master or a servant at this time. Fortunately, he is young or tired, and now he has more and more things to manage, not only military and government affairs, but also some diplomatic and economic affairs, too many things need him to deal with, some are big things here, some are not big or small, and there are many trivial things to come to the door. Guan Yu felt the weight of the burden on his body.

It's time to find a competent starter, the eighteen warriors often play the role of secretaries, but these people have limited ability to deal with some affairs, and they can't cope with the complicated situations in the future, and what Guan Yu needs is a shrewd and capable person, this person must have profound knowledge and be proficient in various affairs, and the ability to deal with problems better and finely is strong, of course, this person's mind must be flexible and mobile, and he can deal with all kinds of complicated situations, Of course, the most important thing is that this person must be absolutely loyal to himself, and he cannot go against himself, which is the most important point, otherwise everything will be in vain.

As the secretary of the leader, this is not something that ordinary people can do, not only to have a superior IQ but also to have a very high emotional intelligence, to do things can not be too rigid but also to be appreciated by the leader, which is also often said to be able to do things and be a person, to know how to observe words and colors, know how to see the color of the leader, and be able to understand the emotions of the leader, of course, the most important thing is to be shrewd, can speak and do things, this is a job with high requirements for people, is a comprehensive and multi-faceted consideration of a person's work, so such people are usually not ordinary people, It is indeed difficult to pull out such a person from the crowd at once, Guan Yu thought and pondered and pondered, and there were only a few heads around him, and he really couldn't pick out such a person.

Once he as a military commander continued to dig military generals, for which a lot of generals were promoted and they were filled with various positions, and later he took charge of Luoyang and excavated a group of strategists, now these strategists also play an important role, a literary and a martial arts two kinds of talent two options in addition to this, either in the military talent of the general or can give advice to the strategist, but there is no one who can be qualified for the work of the secretary, now he is about to be 33 years old, as the saying goes, "people after 30 days after noon will go downhill count." "Ahh Maybe you have outstanding ability, maybe you are wise, but after the age of 30, people's physical fitness tends to decline in all aspects, that is, it is no longer an upward stage, but a downward period.

Although Guan Yu's body is still so tough now, what will it be like in another ten years? That's hard to say, as the saying goes, "there are unforeseen circumstances, people have good fortune and misfortune", in case they have an injury in the future that affects the handling of some things, they have to be taken care of by a person, their own secretary is equivalent to another self, many times to do things is their own business, natural power is also good, so this person's choice is very important, if you don't choose the right one, the consequences of delaying your career are unimaginable, so you can't be sloppy on this issue, but now there is no suitable candidate, but now you should start cultivating such a personNo one will do things from the beginning, which requires experience.
