Chapter 383: Ertu Luoyang

Cao Cao's expression suddenly became grim when he heard this, he had just returned from the army to defeat Yuan Shu, and now he was going to fall into the war again, but what Huang Wan said was not unreasonable, but if he raised troops again and used force to hurt his vitality, Cao Cao hesitated a little, and then his uncle Dong Cheng continued to recommend: "The safety of the Mengde court is tied to the foot, if King Qin succeeds this time, the general will be a great meritorious!" ”

Cao Cao stroked his beard, his eyes narrowed into a slit and said: "Let me discuss this matter with my subordinates, and the princes will rest for the time being!" ”

Dong Cheng and others were arranged by Cao Cao to rest, Cao Cao immediately convened his advisers to discuss, and the strategist Xun Yu said: "These people seem to be here to lobby, but if Yuan Benchu really raised troops, the lord gang will not be able to taste it, as these people said This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, at present, Guan Yu is busy with reform under his rule, and has no time to look eastward. When he completes the reform, it will be the Shang Dynasty reform of the Qin Dynasty in the past, and the next step will be to unify the six countries, and this situation is becoming more and more prominent with Guan Yu's strength! So don't let Guan Yu develop strength! ”

Xun Yu analyzed the situation like this, and Cao Cao felt that there were many crises ahead! Guan Yu's threat is in the near future! In Cao Cao's eyes, he can ignore anyone, but Guan Yu is an exception, this kid makes him have to pay attention, listening to Xun Yu say this, Cao Cao felt the seriousness of the situation, Cao Cao next said: "It seems that we are going to make a big move again!" ”

Strategist Cheng Yu continued: "I heard that Guan Yu is going west again, and he is going with Liu Bei, Luoyang is in a state of emptiness again, if we take the Tiger Prison Pass this time, Yuan Benchu takes the Bishui Pass, Luoyang can go down immediately." This time we have to work together, as long as our army is approaching Luoyang, we must launch a fierce attack with lightning speed, we must not let Guan Yu slow down, once Luoyang is taken, then Guan Yu will become a lost dog. It will be much easier to clean him up then! ”

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this: "If Guan Yu travels far this time, we will act quickly, storm the Tiger Prison Pass, and then go straight to Luoyang, and the troops will come to the city, this time I will no longer consider the dispute with Yuan Shao, no matter who takes Luoyang first, it will be a victory, what does Feng Xiao think?" ”

"My lord thinks about it! The situation now in front of the lord is that either he will not send troops and concentrate on development, recuperate and develop production, and make full preparations for the future struggle, or as analyzed by everyone, he will quickly send troops to approach the Tiger Prison Pass, and then take the Tiger Prison Pass in one fell swoop and go straight to Luoyang. In one go, don't hesitate to attack the city immediately after approaching Luoyang, and then let Dong Cheng and others send a letter to the royal relatives and nobles in the city to let them start together, so it will be difficult to attack Luoyang inside and outside! Guo Jia said.

Guo Jia's words suddenly opened Cao Cao's mouth, and immediately decided: "Order to go down and rectify the men and horses and raise 100,000 troops to attack the Tiger Pass!" ”

At the same time that Cao Cao was rectifying the troops in Xuchang, he sent a messenger to Yuan Shao in Hebei Province and informed Yuan Shao of the news of the army, and at the same time, Huang Wan and others went to Huainan non-stop to lobby Yuan Shu to raise troops together. The situation reversed, and Cao Cao sent a messenger to Han Sui in Bingzhou. asked Han Sui to raise troops to attack Luoyang from Hanoi, and several princes joined forces to attack Luoyang again.

But said that Yuan Shao was waiting for news in Jizhou, but some of his subordinates reported that they had captured a fine work from Luoyang, and Yuan Shao learned that Luoyang did not dare to take it lightly, so he immediately raised the account and brought the fine work up to inquire about the reason, but the fine work ignored it and kept silent. Yuan Shao coerced and lured the last fine work and finally told the truth, it turned out that this was the messenger sent by Guan Yu to Gongsun Chan in Beiping, and Yuan Shao also found a letter sent to Gongsun Chan in the name of the imperial court, and asked Gongsun Chan to raise troops to fight against Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao immediately read the letter and couldn't help but be furious: "Vertical Zi'an dares to do this? ”

Yuan Shao pondered: If Gongsun Chan doesn't stop making trouble in Beiping, it will be a matter sooner or later. Yuan Shao thought about it again and again and decided to completely eliminate Gongsun Zhan's troubles and then attack Guan Yu in Xingjun, so he rectified his men and horses in Jizhou to prepare for the northern expedition to Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao prepared troops in Jizhou to prepare for the personal expedition of Gongsun Zhan at this time received a letter from Cao Cao saying that they would jointly attack Luoyang, Yuan Shao then remembered the trust of Dong Cheng, Huang Wan and others, it seems that these people really have some strength, and they actually said that Cao Cao jointly raised troops to attack Luoyang, However, the situation in front of him is that on the one hand, he is urging himself to raise troops to the south, and on the other hand, he is preparing to go north to conquer Gongsun Zhan, where should he go? Yuan Shao was confused all of a sudden, and he didn't know what to do.

Yuan Shao suddenly ran out of ideas and didn't know what to do, the only way to buy was to raise the account, above the Shuaifu, all the civil and military forces were once again called together to discuss the matter of entering the army, Yuan Shao immediately reported the situation to his subordinates, and the strategist Tian Feng first recommended: "The lord must not fight!" Since the lord occupies Hebei, the war has been fought for many years, the people have lost their money, if they do not recuperate, it may be difficult to continue, although Hebei is wide and there are many people, but the war has come one after another, and the people are tired under the rule, and the people are miserable! But the lord has no repentance, and if the army goes on like this, don't you want the officials to force the people, but it is difficult to keep the position of the lord! ”

Tian Feng's angry Yuan Shao's lungs were about to explode, and the seven orifices were full of fireworks, but when he saw him, he immediately stood up and gritted his teeth and pointed at Tian Feng angrily: "Tian Feng! Tian Feng! Thou hast repeatedly committed the following crimes, and now thou hast made such unfavorable remarks and gossipes to confuse the hearts of the people, what sin should thou stake? ”

"My lord, I'm thinking about the lord, a piece of liver and gall can show the sun and the moon! How can the lord be so disobedient to good advice, and the disaster will not be long in the future! Tian Feng knelt on the ground and still insisted on persuading.

Yuan Shao paused and beat his chest angrily when he heard this: "Someone! Drag this disobedient minister out and behead me! ”

As soon as Yuan Shao's words came out, the ministers under the ranks were all frightened, and they all knelt on the ground and persuaded: "The lord is loyal to Tian Feng, although the words are harsh, out of his sincerity, I still hope that the lord will think twice, let Tian Feng go, don't hurt people's hearts because of this matter!" ”

Yuan Shao shook his head helplessly, waved his hand and said: "Put Tian Feng in prison for me, no one is allowed to release me without my permission, and I will make him look good when I return victorious!" ”

The subordinates ordered Tian Feng to be dragged out immediately, Tian Feng still shouted unrelentingly, and everyone shook their heads helplessly when they saw it......................

It turned out that Yuan Shao was jealous of Tian Feng, and Tian Feng repeatedly committed it, although he was bluntly persuaded every time, but Yuan Shao was very disgusted. Many times he felt that he had lost face in front of everyone, in view of Tian Feng's reputation in Hebei, Yuan Shao asked someone to detain Tian Feng, and then raised the account, he made up his mind to win a victory to Tian Feng this time, Yuan Shao asked the strategists for a strategy. The strategist Xu You came out and said: "Gongsun Zhan is certainly in trouble, but he is just a dog's ear!" However, Guan Yu is a fierce tiger, and it is really inappropriate to give up the tiger and send a dog to the army, not to mention that now there is a great opportunity in front of him, once he gives up this, he will not come back! ”

Strategist Guo Tu retorted: "If we take Luoyang, if Gongsun Chan attacks again from behind, our rear will not be protected, once the battle in front is tight, wouldn't it be a dilemma?" ”

"If the lord wants to enter the army, I think it is better to send a general to guard Beiping to reject Gongsun Zhan, why bother to recruit in person?" Strategist Xun Chen came out of the ranks.

The advisor said, "The three pieces of meat that are now in front of the lord. One is Gongsun Chan of Beiping, Gongsun Chan is a chicken rib, it is a pity to abandon it if it is tasteless, and it is okay not to take it; Besides, Guan Yu is a piece of fat, but Guan Yunchang is a genius in the world, with a wide range of soldiers and a complete range of grain and grass, although he is heading west. However, if we raise troops to fight for it, the city defense of Yishui Pass is strong and guarded by generals. I think it will not be easy to conquer Bishui Pass in a short period of time, if we have conquered Bishui Pass, compared to Guan Yu has also returned to Luoyang, wouldn't it be a re-enactment of the previous war? If Guan Yu returns to Luoyang, how sure can the lord be if he wants to attack Luoyang? Even if it is a joint Cao Cao, there is a slight chance of victory, if we suffer defeat this time. The lord will be greatly injured, this chess is a dangerous move; Besides, the lord has one last choice, that is, to raise troops to the south to force Liyang, until Xuchang, to attack Cao Cao, if Cao Cao raises troops to attack Guan Yu. Then the main force will inevitably be mobilized, then Yanzhou is empty, the lord of the three armies into the white horse to conquer Liyang to take Yanzhou, on the will of the Son of Heaven, and there is a surprise of the victory of the army, to win Yanzhou and Qingzhou, then the lord's strength has increased greatly! What can he do when Cao Mengde comes back to his senses? ”

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, he was confused all of a sudden, stunned there, listening to the words of the frustrated professor was in the clouds, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and the strategist then persuaded: "The lord if we rashly take Yanzhou or even Xuchang, this is not easy, I heard that Cao Cao's western expedition in Liyang White Horse still has a henchman Xiahoudun to guard, this defense has not been withdrawn, Xiahoudun is by no means an idle person, it is not easy to take the white horse, and once the time is delayed and Cao Cao moves troops back to rescue, we will lose more than we gain, I have a clever plan, Let the lord win a big victory with less soldiers! ”

"What's the idea?" Yuan Shao's eyes lit up after hearing this, and asked.

The judge continued: "If the lord attacks head-on, he will definitely be blocked by Xiahoudun, we can avoid his edge, make a detour into the army Cangting, and then go straight to Qingzhou, Cao Cao has almost no defense in this regard, so the lord will send out cavalry to attack it and win a big victory to win a large area of land in Qingzhou, isn't it better than others?" ”

Yuan Shao shouted when he heard this: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! A good plan is based on the plan of the south! ”

Yuan Shao's plan has been decided, and he decided to adopt the strategy of trial and match to attack Qingzhou, Yuan Shao has always been a person who forgets his life when he sees small profits, this time I heard that he can obtain a large piece of land in Qingzhou at the smallest cost, this transaction is really suitable! In this way, Yuan Shaobing sent Qingzhou.

Cao Cao raised the three armies to send the Tiger Prison Pass, with Dian Wei and Xu Chu as the vanguard officers of the front seal, and under the escort of the generals Xiahou Yuan, Yu Ban and Zang Ba, he would meet Cao Ren and Cao Hong of the East County, and the army was forward until the boundary of Wancheng, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu caught it, and the soldiers and one place soon approached the Tiger Prison Pass

Besides, Zhang Fei, the guard of the Tiger Prison Pass, has stopped drinking for a long time since Guan Yu scolded him last time, but this person can stumble for a while, especially hobbies, to be exact, it is a hobby, this thing is easy to be addicted, once addicted, it is difficult to quit, after being severely criticized by Guan Yu last time, Zhang Fei made a military order, and swore to stop drinking, Zhang Fei's wine can no longer be drunk, this day is really like a year! Nothing else to do! After a period of time, Zhang Fei relaxed his vigilance when he saw that there was no war in Tiger Prison, and that kind of alcohol addiction came up.

Zhang Fei thought that although I made a military order, as long as there was no accident, it would be fine, that is to say, even if I drank and was not discovered by Guan Yu, and the Tiger Prison Pass was safe and sound, then this military order would not work for me, now Guan Yu is heading west, and there is no war in the Tiger Prison Pass, if I drink alcohol during this time, as long as my subordinates are tight-lipped. I won't be fine, Zhang Fei couldn't help but be secretly happy after thinking about it! Looks like I'm going to have to drink this wine! If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and it doesn't matter what day he will be tomorrow! Well! That's it.

Zhang Fei made up his mind and found his own soldiers to get wine, and now there is no wine at all in the Tiger Prison Pass, and they were all confiscated by Guan Yu, not only confiscated Guan Yu, but also cut off Zhang Fei's wine delivery channel, and everyone dared to send him wine. No one in the city dares to keep drinking, so there is no source, even if Zhang Fei is drunk, if there is no wine, it will be difficult for the hero!

Zhang Fei's alcohol addiction came up again this time, but there was no alcohol in the guan, Zhang Fei was anxious like an ant on a hot pot! He paced back and forth, and then he simply ordered Zhang Da and Fan Jiang, the leaders of his own soldiers, to the two: "You can get me a drink within three days, otherwise you will be killed!" ”

Zhang Da and Fan Jiang, as the leaders of the pro-soldiers, knew this Zhang Fei's temper very well. It's a fiery temper, and he does what he says! If you really can't get it, this kid doesn't care about that, then he can really cut off his head, the two of them were so scared that they couldn't possess their bodies, so they had to bite the bullet to get the drink, but now the tiger prison can't find the wine at all, and the two have no choice but to go to Luoyang to find it. It is not difficult to get some drinks in Luoyang, but it is rare how to get these drinks to the tiger prison. It's okay to say here at Tiger Prison Pass, especially since the Luoyang City Defense has notified that wine cannot be allowed to flow into Tiger Prison Pass, which is Guan Yu's special explanation to Cui Lie, the captain of the city gate, and Cui Lie ordered his subordinates

Zhang Da and Fan Jiang were helpless, they simply came up with a way, what way? That is, a number of leather bags were prepared. The wine bought from Luoyang City was loaded with these leather bags, and then these leather bags were attached to the horse's back, which was covered with a saddle, and the people led the horse in and out when they arrived at the edge of the city, so that they could be confused and not let the defenders of the city find out. However, the wine obtained by this method is very limited, but there is no other good way, so the two made up their minds and immediately went to Luoyang.

Zhang Da and Fan Jiang risked their lives to get some wine from Luoyang and returned to the Tiger Prison Pass according to the strategy, and immediately dedicated the wine to Zhang Fei, there were two jars, Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he saw the wine, and immediately drank it, where is the wine enough for Zhang Fei to drink, Zhang Fei immediately drank all the two jars of wine in one go, and immediately got drunk and fell asleep, Zhang Da and Fan Jiang were all horrified when they saw this, this is really "a thousand days of firewood and one day burning", and the wine that was finally obtained was poured into it by Zhang Fei in one breath.

On the second day, Zhang Fei woke up from drinking, and the alcohol addiction flared up again, and immediately called Zhang Dafan Jiang to the residence, and called the two to go to Luoyang again to engage in wine, the two had no choice but to do it, and the two of them spent a lot of effort to get some wine from Luoyang, or the last time, that is, two jars, Zhang Fei immediately drank wildly, Zhang Fei's alcohol addiction opened, and the wine became stronger, and the amount of alcohol was naturally fully stimulated, and the two jars of wine could not stop him at all, Zhang Fei drank two jars of wine in a row and was still not happy. He summoned Zhang Dafan Jiang to the front again, and said that the two of them shouted: "I said that you should also make more, how can you have fun with such a little wine, and then go to Luoyang to get more for me, at least you have to have a few jars!" ”

Zhang Da begged: "The general's wine was obtained by me and Fan Jiang at the risk of death, and now Luoyang City is heavily defended, especially the previous Prime Minister confessed that it was forbidden to drink alcohol to the Tiger Prison Pass, and the inspection of us over there was too strict, and we couldn't pass it at all!" ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he was immediately furious: "Grandma's! some broken wine and pay this and that, I think you guys have itchy skin, right? ”

Fan Jiang immediately knelt on the ground and begged: "General, this matter is really not such a simple matter!" Even if we go back to do it, we won't be able to get out of Luoyang! ”

Zhang Fei's eyes widened when he heard this, and he screamed, "Damn! I think you're really numb! As he spoke, he took the whip from the steps, grabbed Zhang Da and yelled at Zhang Da: "Take off your shirt for me!" Fast! ”

Zhang Da looked at Zhang Fei with frightened eyes, trembling and begging: "General, please let the kid go!" ”

Zhang Fei saw that the two did not move, and immediately called the warriors to strip off the shirts of the two, the two of them were bare-skinned, Zhang Fei asked people to tie the two of them firmly, Zhang Fei took the leather whip, and beat the two of them "bang, bang, bang、、、、、、、、、、、、、、", and the two of them screamed "ah, ah, ah, oh, oh, oh、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、", the more Zhang Fei listened to their shouts and beat, the more fierce they became, and the two were beaten by Zhang Fei with open skin and flesh! Later, Zhang Fei didn't stop until he fainted, Zhang Fei saw that the two of them passed out, so he beckoned his subordinates to drag the two out, and then saw that Zhang Fei was tired and sweating, still angry.

Zhang Da and Fan Jiang were beaten to death by Zhang Fei and fainted, and were dragged out by Zhang Fei's men like dragging dead dogs, and it took a long time for the two to gradually wake up, Zhang Da and Fan Jiang struggled to stand up and staggered out of Zhang Fei's house, and the two limped back to their residences with a limp, and then saw that the two were beaten by Zhang Fei and were unrecognizable! , The two returned to their residence, asked their subordinates to serve, even apply medicine and massage, and finally felt much better, Zhang Dawei Fan Jiang said: "Brother, if we don't get wine for Zhang Fei tomorrow, you and I will be miserable!"
