However, it was said that Yuan Shao received a letter from Cao Cao in Hebei, which said: Guan Yu controlled Luoyang to cultivate his own power and constantly encroached on the surrounding land, just like the pre-Qin, the people who supported themselves internally eliminated dissidents externally, and the strength of the people was becoming stronger and more threatening, this person had huge ambitions in all directions, and constantly expanded his strength, when today's son was young and had to obey, Guan Yu coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, if it was allowed to develop, its harm was far greater than that of Dong Zhuo. The beginning is the fourth world and the third prince when this crisis can not stand by, hope that the beginning can start out of the overall situation, take the righteousness and put aside the small differences, jointly raise the incident to send troops to Luoyang, save the Son of Heaven in the fire and water, help the people in the danger of tired eggs, your brother Yuan Shu has raised troops in Huainan, as the saying goes, you have to rely on your own brothers to fight the tiger, the original as a brother should be with the brothers to fight the national thief, if the army is successful, when Kuang Fu Han family to share the world!

After reading it, Yuan Shao's mood suddenly became complicated, Cao Cao made an appointment to attack Luoyang together, Yuan Shao couldn't help but be a little nervous, because Cao Cao carefully analyzed the current situation in the letter, especially mentioned that the harm of Guan Yu actually affected today, and the harm was even worse than Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, as a descendant of the fourth and third dukes, how could he tolerate this kind of man-made disaster after being born in a famous Han family? Yuan Shao still has a lot of respect for the Han family, no matter who he is, if he is disloyal to the Han family, this is something he can't tolerate, and what Cao Cao said in the letter this time undoubtedly touched the soul of Yuan Shao's heart, Yuan Shao immediately convened all his strategists and generals to discuss this matter.

Strategist Guo Tu first admonished: "This is Cao Cao's plan!" He is trying to pull the lord into the water! Cao Cao has always been ambitious, he thinks his strength is not enough to win over the lord, the lord must not be fooled! ”

The strategist Xu You also chimed in: "What Master Guo said is very right, don't go to Cao Cao's plan!" Cao Cao can't believe it! This person is insidious and cunning, his ambition is huge, he took Xuzhou before, and now he wants to attack Luoyang, and his appetite is really getting bigger and bigger! If we take Luoyang, will it be our turn next? said that Guan Yu's ambition has never been small, I think these two people are one and a half catties and one eight taels! ”

Strategist Tian Feng retorted: "Otherwise! Guan Yu killed Dong Zhuo and seized the military power, and now he is going to the west, which shows that he has great ambitions. Now Guan Yu once the Western Expedition successfully won Chang'an, he will sit on the land of the two capitals, and his strength will naturally be improved again, he is originally a powerful faction, and the former Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang returned to his head, and his strength was further enhanced. It can be said that Guan Yu is the strongest in the north, after the western expedition, his goal will turn to the east, the lord will inevitably suffer from his attack, his appetite is not a city and a corner but the entire north and even the world, he is different from Dong Zhuo is that he is a person who is constantly climbing and never satisfied, so in the future we will inevitably be involved in the battle with him, rather than sit back and wait for the death of the better to attack early, while Guan Yu's wings are not yet mature to eliminate him in the bud to prevent future troubles, Guan Yu is even worse than Cao Cao. I still hope that the Lord will decide! ”

"I fully agree with Lord Tian's words, when today's son is too young to manage the government, everything is at the mercy of Guan Yu, Guan Yu is under the banner of the Son of Heaven to conquer the Quartet, in fact, for the Han family, in fact, who can know the calculation in his heart, exterminate the Quartet, I think it is time for him to be the emperor, the lord as a loyal minister of the Han family can not sit idly by!" The strategist then said.

The strategist Xin Ping objected, and Xin Ping said: "If the lord sends troops. How to deal with Gongsun Chan in the north once it attacks? If we sneak up from behind, how should we respond? ”

The strategist said: "If the lord sends troops to Luoyang and sends a general to guard Beiping, he has rejected Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Zhan will definitely not dare to attack easily!" Cao Cao invited the lord to attack Luoyang this time, and he will inevitably unite other forces. Therefore, the Lord must be consistent with everyone, this is a rare opportunity, and the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again! ”

The strategist Feng Ji agreed with what Fu Zhu said, and the generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou agreed one after another, and Yuan Shao decided after hearing this: "I think so too, this time I will work with everyone to attack Luoyang with the king and thieves!" Let's talk about how to work this? ”

The strategist frustrated and admonished: "If the lord takes Luoyang as a soldier and enters the Bishui Pass. This is the gateway to Luoyang, and if you take the Bishui Pass, the army can approach Luoyang by driving straight in! ”

Yuan Shao nodded after hearing this, and then the strategist Tian Feng then admonished: "If you want to ask Luoyang to write a crime and list Guan Yu's crimes, it is better to have a famous teacher and grasp the initiative of the war!" ”

Yuan Shao stroked his beard and agreed, and Yuan Shao decided: "Immediately order Chen Lin to prepare a crusade announcement to announce it to the world." The Keri army assembled, and the general Wen Chou was stationed at the northern border pass to resist Gongsun Zhan, and the army marched into the Bishui Pass! ”

Yuan Shao immediately wrote a reply to Cao Cao after announcing the decision, saying that he would raise troops to attack Bishui Pass on the same day, and sent a messenger to Yanzhou overnight after writing a reply

But said that Cao Cao's letter was sent to Huainan Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu later after the letter can not help but light up, the previous time he and Cao Cao's generals suffered a big loss and wanted to seek revenge but did not expect Cao Cao to suddenly come to such a letter, he was so strange, but after carefully reading the letter, Yuan Shu couldn't help but think, Cao Cao made an appointment to attack Luoyang together, and had already made an appointment with his brother Yuan Shao, in view of the previous campaign to offend many people, Xu to grain, grass, heavy silver and two as compensation, hope not to read the previous suspicions, jointly do things, and promise to divide Luoyang equally after the fact, This is obviously a big deal in front of you!

In the previous fierce battle, Yuan Shu had many losses, but this time Cao Cao proposed to compensate, and Yuan Shu was not good to continue to entangle, even if this matter was in the past, Cao Cao invited him to jointly attack Luoyang, Luoyang is the imperial capital! Once you take down the gold, silver, treasure, silk and jade silk, there are countless women, and the beauties are like clouds, this business is done! If he were to be himself, he would not dare to hit Luoyang's attention if he ate the ambition leopard guts, but he understood Guan Yu's power, and Wan Wang did not dare to act rashly, but this time with Cao Cao and his eldest brother Yuan Shao jointly assisting, the probability of success is very high! What's more, Guan Yu is busy with the western expedition and has no time to look east, although Luoyang has some soldiers and horses, it is vulnerable, so there is a lot of hope!

After thinking about it, Yuan Shu decided to be invited to join forces, and even if a military meeting was held and some arrangements were made for his subordinates, he immediately wrote a reply to Cao Cao to agree to the matter.

However, it was said that Cao Cao's letter was sent to Han Sui in Bingzhou. After reading the letter, Han Sui also began to think, he hated Guan Yu deeply, this kid and himself were not less than knotted, at that time he followed Dong Zhuo to fight for himself and let himself suffer a lot, but he didn't expect this kid to get bigger and bigger to kill Dong Zhuo and take Luoyang and quickly quell the rebellion, the most disturbing thing for him was that Zhang Yang in Hanoi actually defected to Guan Yu. This Hanoi is next to Bingzhou, Zhang Yang chose Guan Yu, which is equivalent to taking refuge in the enemy, and Han Sui is restless next to such a powerful enemy!

Guan Yu's opponent is too strong, as a neighbor to the north, Han Sui is like an old cat pillow salted fish, Guan Yu can eat himself at any time and easily, I heard that Guan Yu has conquered the west, it seems that the west is tight, and Guan Yu is no longer in Luoyang. Han Sui relaxed a little, but he was still worried about the future, as he had passed the age of not being confused, he finally had this foundation and gained a foothold in Bingzhou, if Guan Yu really did it to himself in the future, it would naturally be difficult to protect Bingzhou, where should he go? You can't surrender this enemy, can you?

Just when Han Sui was worried, the arrival of Cao Cao's letter was like a light in the darkness that made him see hope, and this letter came too timely and too good. I never dreamed of it! It's really pie-in-the-sky! He was struggling to have no way to deal with Guan Yu, a strong enemy, and now someone invited him to send troops. It's really nowhere to find such a good thing with a lantern! Cao Cao made a serious analysis of the future situation in his letter, and especially put forward how unfavorable the future situation is, which is in the hands of Han Sui, Cao Cao really guessed so accurately, but this is good, this battle will come sooner or later. It's just that it's early, but it's the right time.

Han Sui immediately replied to Cao Cao, agreed to Cao Cao's invitation, promised to send troops to attack Hongnong, and formed pressure on Luoyang from the north, echoing with other roads, Cao Cao sat in Xuchang for half a month, and received replies from these three places one after another. The last one came from Han Sui, and after receiving all the reply letters and personally meeting with the envoys, the results of the three places were determined, and the matter was as Guo Jia expected, and the princes of the three roads agreed one after another, and agreed to do things together, Cao Cao was ready to raise troops, with Xiahou Xuan, Cao Hong, and Xu Chu as the vanguard to march into Nanyang, and Cao Ren to Nanyang to catch it, Cao Cao ordered 50,000 troops in Nanyang after a rest and recuperation and decided to march to the Tiger Prison Pass, passing through Wancheng Zhang Ji and his nephew Zhang Xiu came to meet each other, Zhang Ji and his nephew Zhang Xiu were driven out of Bishui Pass and forced to come to Wancheng, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu are Dong Zhuo's subordinates and have also worked with Guan Yu, the two never expected that Guan Yu actually seized the military power and controlled Luoyang and drove the two out of Bishui Pass, this is not counting his young and beautiful wife was actually robbed by Guan Yu's sworn brother Liu Bei to be a wife, it is unbearable, the biggest shame as a man is the hatred of killing his father and taking his wife, Zhang Ji retreated to Wancheng and thought about revenge

Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu came to Wancheng after also thinking about looking for an opportunity to counterattack, helpless force is really weak, compared to Guan Yu so strong, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu is simply powerless, this time Cao Cao with a large army passed here, Zhang Ji took a fancy to the opportunity, Cao Cao is a generation of heroes, is slowly rising, there is no shortage of male generals, the force is gradually expanding, the whole world is comparable to Guan Yu's strength, this time Cao Cao led the army to attack the Tiger Prison Pass is a great thing that can not be sought! The opportunity for revenge finally came, Zhang Ji seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and immediately decided to lead the crowd to Cao Cao, Cao Cao also knows more about Zhang Ji, especially that Zhang Xiu's military force is extraordinary, when the princes of the eighteenth road attacked Luoyang, his appearance was deep Cao Cao's like, Zhang Xiu and Xiahou Dun fought more than 60 times, this is a rare general, and the two of them defected to Cao Cao very happy.

Cao Cao's army of more than 50,000 people is approaching the Tiger Prison Pass, at this time it has been three and a half months since Guan Yu's westward expedition, that is, Guan Yu returned to Luoyang in half a month, it is at this juncture Cao Cao's army is approaching the Tiger Prison Pass, at this time it is winter, the trees are withering, everything is depressed, the weather is cold, Cao Cao's army can't take care of these fully armed Jin Ge iron horses and iron hooves, because the previous time has the advantage of attacking Xuzhou victory, the morale of the army is very high, Cao Cao knows that Guan Yu is powerful, It is also known that Guan Yu has received a lot of fierce generals, so this time he also sent a strong lineup: Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zang Ba, Lu Qian These generals were all sent, this time he especially wanted to see the power of the newly collected fierce generals Xu Chu and Zang Ba.

Cao Cao and his army approached the Tiger Pass. Less than 50 miles away from the Tiger Prison, there was already news to Zhang Fei, the guard of the Tiger Prison, Zhang Fei was drinking in the Tiger Prison at this time, and he was drunk and drunk. It can be said that it was ignited, and after hearing the news, the anger in his heart suddenly gushed out, plus he had just finished drinking, as the saying goes, "wine strengthens heroes", Zhang Fei was angry with "Wow Wow"! He picked up his spear and stepped on his horse, and couldn't wait to open the city gate and lead a group of men and horses out of the city.

Zhang Fei led a group of men and horses to rush out of the Tiger Prison Pass and go straight to Cao Cao's army to kill, the two sides encountered at the boundary of thirty miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass, the two sides set up a formation, Zhang Fei saw Cao Cao's army swaying flags, generals standing in a forest, the whole a copper wall and iron wall. The soldiers are all brave, and everyone is vying for the lead! However, this kind of formation did not frighten Zhang Fei, Zhang Feiyue raised his spear and scolded in front of the formation: "Cao thief Pifu'an dares to offend Lao Tzu's territory, is it possible that he has eaten the ambition of the leopard and is not daring?" ”

Cao Cao saw that Zhang Fei was blocking in front of him and knew that Zhang Fei was powerful, but this time he was not afraid, because there was more than one of his men? What can a mere Zhang Fei do? Cao Cao said to Zhang Fei: "If Zhang Yide knows what to do, he will sacrifice the city to spare you from dying!" ”

Zhang Fei was really angry when he heard this! He immediately raised the Zhangba snake spear and rushed out of the front of the formation, this sword was as powerful as a tiger descending from the mountain, Cao Cao saw this and said: "Who can stop this person?" ”

"Don't panic, my lord, Xu Chu is here!" After Xu Chu finished speaking, he picked up the big knife in his hand and urged the horse to move forward and take Zhang Fei directly, Zhang Fei didn't answer, and saw a person rushing out from the opposite side, looking very fierce. Holding a machete in his hand, he came over, and the spear of the eight snakes was picked up and fought with Xu Chu to one place. These two people are both big shoulders and round waists, born with wide faces and large foreheads, and they are both fierce people, and they immediately moved their hands to come, Xu Chu's machete weighed eighty pounds, and it was about to come immediately. When the weapons of the two of them clashed like this, sparks flew everywhere! Zhang Fei used the strength of the wine to attack Xu Chu with the strength of the eight snake spears, Xu Chu intercepted Zhang Fei's snake spear with a big knife, and kept fighting back, and the two clashed. The fight is difficult to solve, and there are twenty or thirty consecutive battles that do not distinguish the winner or loser

Fighting with Zhang Fei This is the first big "job" after Xu Chu defected to Cao Cao, since his debut, he has met such a strong person, Xu Chu also wants to perform well in front of Cao Cao, but this guy in front of him is not so simple, this is a strong opponent, not only looks fierce, this martial art is even more amazing, but it seems to have drunk a lot of wine, although full of strength, but the marksmanship is not stable, full of flaws! Zhang Fei used the strength of the wine to exert force, the moves were completely confused, Xu Chu's knife technique was steady and full of strength and began to exert force frequently, Zhang Fei was out of breath, Zhang Fei was on par with Xu Chu in strength, but after drinking too much wine, his moves became disordered, Xu Chu pressed to recruit people step by step, Zhang Fei was a little unable to resist, the two fought again for thirty or forty times, Zhang Fei gradually became at a disadvantage, after all, he drank too much wine, Xu Chu's big knife was like flying, and the attack was extremely fierce, Zhang Fei saw that he couldn't resist and hurriedly withdrew from the formation, led this Biao army and horse to the tiger prison and fled in panic.

Zhang Fei rode his horse straight to the Tiger Prison Pass, Cao Cao saw this and raised his whip and waved the army, and then covered it up, Zhang Fei's army was suddenly defeated, lost his armor and fled, Zhang Fei set up this big black horse and hurriedly fled into the Tiger Prison Pass, closed the city gate and put down the drawbridge to block Cao Cao from the pass, and then closed the archers began to release arrows one after another, and suddenly the Tiger Prison closed the arrow like a locust and fell, Cao Cao's army could not advance only to retreat and open the Tiger Prison Pass to surround it.

Tiger Prison Pass as the gateway to the east of Luoyang, the fortifications are complete, the city is impregnable, easy to defend and difficult to attack, although Zhang Fei is drunk and in a trance, he still knows the meaning of this Tiger Prison, Guan Yu asked him to guard this Tiger Prison Pass and told him not to get drunk, let alone whip the sergeant corporal punishment of his subordinates, and especially emphasized the importance of this Tiger Prison, Zhang Fei did not dare to relax, but he really couldn't control himself as soon as he was addicted to alcohol, and after getting drunk, Zhang Fei impulsively forgot Guan Yu's words to the back of his mind, but waited until he fought with Xu Chu, His alcohol strength has also consumed a lot, sobered up a little, only to know that he can't take it lightly, but Xu Chu's bravery made Zhang Fei's wine sober up a lot, Zhang Fei also realized the other party's power, drunk state is not able to win at all, so he put down Xu Chu and fled back to the Tiger Prison Pass to guard it, for him the significance of the Tiger Prison Pass is far more important than his defeat of an enemy general.

Zhang Feibing was defeated and fled back to the Tiger Prison Pass, almost chased by Cao Jun like a nightmare in an instant awakening, Fang felt the seriousness of the situation, at this time Zhang Fei was almost awake with a shock wine, he boarded the Tiger Prison Pass and saw that the pass was densely packed with Cao Jun, it seems that the comer is not good! Cao Cao gathered so many troops outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and he was determined to take the Tiger Prison Pass! Cao Cao's person Zhang Fei has also been in contact, this guy is a bit of a strategist and is by no means idle, Zhang Fei did not dare to slack off, he carefully inspected the military situation and felt that the situation was not good, but Zhang Fei was not afraid, his tiger prison still has 30,000 horses enough to deal with, and he himself is also very confident in his own force, in the face of Cao Cao's such a man Zhang Fei took an active defense (to be continued......
